Chapter 174 Young Master Rong Jiu Gets Used To Being Feeded
"Come and sit down, it's so hot outside."
"yes."
Xie Yixiao walked over, and a servant brought a chair to her. Seeing that she was a little hot, he fanned her and poured tea for her. Soon, someone brought another plate of fresh fruit, which contained
Cut watermelons, washed grapes, and some peaches and other fruits.
Mr. Xie said, "Try to see if it tastes good. The watermelon was just delivered this morning. It has been cooled in water and is very sweet."
Rong Ci said: "When I came here earlier, I brought some lychees and cherries, as well as a few watermelons and other things."
"Lychee?" Xie Yixiao was surprised, "Where did you get the lychee?"
The Imperial City belongs to the north, so of course there are no lychees, but there are some in the south. However, the distance is far, and lychees are easy to spoil, so it is difficult to transport them here. It is even more difficult to get a bite of lychees in the north.
This also leads to the favor of "The concubine riding in the world of mortals laughs, and no one knows that the lychees are coming". I don't know how many miles away the lychees were sent in a hurry. Isn't this a great favor?
However, she heard that His Majesty lives a simple life nowadays, and he probably wouldn't be able to do anything urgent like traveling a few miles just to eat a lychee.
So where did the lychees come from?
Rong Ci said: "There is a state capital down there. There are some seeds in the south. The seeds are grown, but not many. I sent some over here. My sister-in-law bought some and asked me to send some over.
"
Xie Yixiao suddenly smiled: "Then I have to thank Madam Prince."
After saying that, she smiled again, "Of course, thank you very much, Ninth Young Master."
Mr. Xie noticed that Rong Ci's earlobes turned a little red when he heard this. He turned to look at his niece and twitched the corner of his mouth. He suspected that his niece was teasing the young master in front of him, but there was no evidence.
Rong Ci said: "There's no need to thank me, I'm just doing it along the way. Thank you, girl, if you like it."
He endured it for a long time, and finally choked back the words, "If you like it, I'll give it to you next time."
This is really a bit difficult. You say planting flowers and trees is a simple matter, but sending people all the way to buy lychees is inappropriate. And if people know about it, I'm afraid they will be criticized.
.
He didn't want her to be criticized and made irresponsible remarks.
"Next time someone will bring it, I'll ask someone to buy more."
"Well, okay." Xie Yixiao took a piece of watermelon and asked if they would eat it. Neither of them had any idea about it, so she had to eat it herself and then watched them continue playing chess.
She stopped eating after two small pieces of watermelon, and instead took a late-ripening peach to nibble on. Although her body was much better, she still had to recuperate. Even if she wanted to eat cold watermelon, she could only eat it.
It's soaked in well water, and you can't eat too much.
As for frozen things, don’t even think about it.
After eating half a peach, someone packed up the lychees and brought a plate to them.
This lychee was not as big as the new varieties of later generations, but each one was very red. She peeled one, and the juice was abundant. It tasted very sweet. The shell was not too big or too small, and it was still fresh.
Mr. Xie had not eaten this kind of lychee for many years. He took two lychees and ate them quite well. He was in a good mood. However, when he turned around, he saw his niece peeling half of the lychees and handing them to another person.
"This is delicious, try it."
"Um."
Mr. Xie: "..."
Although he didn't look tired and crooked, as if everything was normal, he still felt a little strange.
Young Master Rong Jiu was somewhat used to being fed. Last time she was at Fan Yue Tower on Chinese Valentine's Day, she ate something good and thought he might like it, so she let him eat some.
Then, then...she naturally picked it up for him.
He ate one and noticed that Mr. Xie was glaring at him. Then he realized that something was inappropriate. He moved his lips and didn't know how to explain it.
Mr. Xie said: "Thirteen, please leave him alone. You can eat your own. Ninth Young Master, come on. Let's continue playing chess. This game must be finished."
Rong Ci nodded and had no choice but to continue playing chess with Mr. Xie.
Xie Yixiao sat beside him, eating fruit and watching them play chess.
After eating five lychees, she did not dare to eat them. Then she packed up the lychee peels and put them aside. After the lychee peels were dried, they could be soaked in water and ground to make incense. It was not useless. She used to use lychee peels.
I have tried several blends and they are really good.
Rong Ci didn't stay long. After playing a game of chess with Mr. Xie, he got up and left.
Xie Yixiao sent him out. On the way, he talked about how he would come to pick her up in three days, and then mentioned the matter of Tiqin Seyuan.
The person Rong Ci arranged for Xie Yixiao did not enter the inner residence of Changninghou Mansion, but followed her when she went out. She did not delve too much into the affairs of the inner courtyard of Changninghou Mansion. Moreover, as soon as Xie Yixiao left, the person followed him.
That is to say, he only found out about this when he arranged for someone to check on Gu You yesterday. He was a little worried, so he came over to check and saw that she was fine, so he felt relieved.
"No news yet?"
"No." Rong Ci lowered the corner of his mouth, and his face seemed to be colder. He said, "I will find you a female guard later and let her live next door to you. It will be more convenient this way. What do you think?"
"Female guard?" Xie Yixiao thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, then you can make arrangements."
If a person is placed in a dark place, she doesn't know where they are. She still has secrets and needs to be careful at all times. She doesn't like it very much. She also doesn't know what little secrets the Xie family and Changning Houfu have. If they happen to be
If we bump into him, that won't be easy.
So she just had people to protect her when she was traveling. If she entered the Changning Marquis Mansion or the Xie Family, she could only stay outside the house.
It would be better if she put the person on the bright side. She can limit the other person's whereabouts and her own safety is guaranteed.
She has died once, and she really cherishes this life.
"I told your uncle earlier that you should not go to Changning Marquis Mansion. We don't know what happened to your eldest cousin yet. If the other party finds out her identity, something might happen."
"I know you are worried about your grandmother, but you have to promise me that if something really happens, if you want to take care of it, you have to go to me first, and you can't just run over hastily."
Rong Ci felt that she really didn't need to worry about the affairs of the Marquis of Changning's Mansion. No matter what happened, there were the Jiang family and the Zhou family, the Marquis of Changning and Gu Zhixuan, so there was no need for her to worry about it.
They are both elders and men. If they can't even handle this trivial matter, it would be really incompetent for her, a little girl, to run around.
Xie Yi smiled and paused, feeling warm in his heart.
She lowered her head, looked down at the bluestone on the ground, and then nodded: "Okay, I promise you."
