The blackened marquis insists that the husband should be more valuable than the son!

The mutton noodle soup at Mrs. Chen’s house on East Street is a must-have in Yongji City.

Because it is very close to Tianjie, not only the surrounding residents love to eat it, but also the officials who go to court under the stars and moon all day long. Especially when the weather is cold in winter, a bowl of hot mutton soup noodles is simply delicious. Warmth in the heart.

Xie Lang's eyebrows were slightly raised, and his smile was bright. Whether intentionally or accidentally, he opened the food box, and the rich aroma of the mutton soup noodles overflowed.

Xue Mingyue doesn't eat much meat these days due to the doctor's orders. Even tonight's dinner is rice porridge and side dishes. Now that she smells this smell, she can't walk, and she can't help but glance into the food box.

After a long while, she looked away and said softly: "Oh, I don't need to."

"The queue at Sister-in-law Chen's house every day has almost reached Xuanxingfang. I bought two copies after I had someone guard them in advance. Do you really not want to try something new?"

"..."

"I just want to ask you something about me and Master Xue."

Xie Lang had a smile on his lips and his voice was clear and pleasant.

Xue Mingyue thought for a while, and finally swallowed the rejection that was on her lips. She turned slightly on her toes and sat down around the dining table with him. Liu Yun and others knew that they were going to talk about business, so they all withdrew tacitly. Hall.

Maybe it's because of the mutton soup noodles.

The atmosphere between the two was far less tense than the previous days.

Xue Mingyue pushed aside the minced green onions floating on the surface, scooped up the noodle soup with a spoon, blew on it before drinking it into his stomach.

The delicious taste made her eyes suddenly light up. Then she ate a piece of soft and delicious stewed mutton. It was so delicious that she squinted her eyes. She could hardly remember the last time she ate it.

Seeing that she liked it, Xie Lang's dark eyes revealed a slight smile.

He didn't disturb her, but waited until her eating slowed down before speaking:

"The matter Mr. Xue asked me to do last night is really embarrassing. After all, it involves the second prince. The Xie family has always been loyal to the emperor. Once I release the young master of the Yan family, people will think that I am the second prince's faction."

Xue Mingyue swallowed the soup noodles in her mouth and looked up at him.

Only then did he realize that the bowl in front of him was empty, not even a little bit of soup was left. At this moment, Xie Lang was supporting his chin with one hand, his eyelashes slightly bent, looking at her leisurely.

"I heard that the Xue Mansion sent a greeting card to the house this morning, asking you to go back. I think it was for this reason."

Xue Mingyue was not surprised that he would know about this.

He nodded frankly: "Yes, but I refused."

"I'm curious as to why you are so sure that this matter will be resolved tomorrow. Can you tell me about it?"

"inconvenient."

Xue Mingyue said without thinking.

Suddenly she thought of something, her eyes rolled around, and she was jumping with a little joy: "However, I solved the matter for Mr. Hou and saved you a big trouble. Can I exchange it for a piece of paper and a letter of departure?" ?”

"..."

The smile on Xie Lang's lips lowered.

His purpose for doing this was not to give her an opportunity to reconcile with him.

Xie Lang pursed his lips and changed the topic: "Of course not. I can also find a way to solve this matter, but I am very interested in the solution you said. Is there anything I need to cooperate with you to do?"

Xue Mingyue's eyebrows were tinged with disappointment.

For a while, even the mutton soup noodles in her hand became tasteless. She wrinkled her nose and said in her heart, "If the Marquis wants to know, you can go to the Vasheli to watch a play tomorrow morning."

After saying this, Xue Mingyue stood up, bowed to him perfunctorily, turned around and left.

Xie Lang looked at her back as she left without mercy, and curled his lower lip helplessly.

——The little heartless one.

Eat and run away.

Back in the house, Xue Mingyue was still a little listless.

And because he had accidentally eaten too much just now, he was a little stuffed, so he had to walk around the house for more than ten times to eat. Xie Lang was now in a state of indigestion, and there was no way to persuade him to sign the divorce agreement.

If there was nothing she could do in the end, she would have no choice but to invite herself to the temple to accompany the ancient Buddha with a green lantern.

Liu Xing muttered: "Miss, you turned me around so much that I almost felt dizzy."

"Which temple nearby do you think is the quietest?"

"?"

...

The next day, the sky was clear and sunny.

Xue Mingyue sat in front of the dressing table with a sad expression, letting Liu Yun dress her up.

Because he was going to watch a play in Waseli later, Liu Yun simply pulled up his hair in a relatively simple bun and did not add more red hairpins. Liu Xing squatted next to him, rummaging through the boxes and cages to find things he needed when going out. sachet.

"Take the one with Cang Shu and Chuan Qiong."

Seeing that she was really hesitant, Xue Mingyue pointed to a sachet.

Liu Xing sighed, happily tied the sachet around her waist, then took out a wooden box from underneath, opened it, put a box of jade pendants in front of her, and asked tangledly: "Miss, are you Which jade pendant should I wear today?"

Xue Mingyue lowered her eyes listlessly, looking at the box full of jade pendants.

He casually pointed to the most familiar jade pendant among them and said, "That's it."

Liu Xing lowered his head and glanced at the jade pendant, then at the lady's profile, blinked and said, "Miss, your relationship with Master Jiang Biao is still so good. This jade pendant was a birthday gift from him when you were a child."

Xue Mingyue: "Huh?"

She was stunned for a moment before she remembered the origin of this jade pendant.

This was the jade pendant given to her by her cousin Jiang Hua on her birthday the year her mother just passed away.

That year, she was depressed because her mother passed away from a serious illness. She was ill for a long time on and off. Later, Xue Xujun sent her to her maternal grandfather's home to recuperate. Only her cousin comforted her seriously and gave her a birthday gift.

Later, for a long time, only her grandfather and cousin really treated her well.

To her, this jade pendant was more like a support for her sorrowful emotions when she was young. However, in order to smoothen the relationship after Xie Lang was imprisoned, she sold everything including the jade pendant.

Xue Mingyue lowered her eyes: "Cousin Jiang is a good man."

"If you don't need it, just change it to a jade pendant. It's time for us to go out."

Liu Xing was stunned when she heard this, but was pushed back by Liu Yun before she came to her senses, and quickly picked out another jade pendant.

...

Li Nian was ordered to make the reputation of the tea house and opera troupe today.

He racked his brains for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and spent a lot of money to quickly hire a lion dance team. On this day, he started to parade from Tianjie, strolled along the East Market, and then led people there. Washer.

In addition, the stage over at Washe was also rented for a whole day at a large price.

Fortunately, the money spent is indeed well worth it.

As soon as the lion dance team's performance appeared, it attracted many people to watch. He took the opportunity to have the teahouse and theater troupe repeat the play they were going to rehearse several times. The storytellers he invited were not people seeking fame and fame, so they made up the slogans. It’s nice to listen to and easy to remember.

Li Nian was so busy that he followed the lion dance team and stared at it for a while, then left after feeling that there was no problem.

In a hurry, he ran to Washe to see how the troupe was doing.

It was obvious that he had stayed up for several nights in succession, but there was no sign of fatigue on his face, and he looked radiant.

Li Nian watched more and more people pouring into the house, and his heart surged unconsciously. He clenched his fists secretly, as if there were sparks burning in his eyes, his breathing was rapid, and his whole body was stiff with nervousness.

But he knew very well that this was his chance to become famous!

He must get this done!
