The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei
Chapter 174 So that’s it
Xie Shuting was able to recite poetry at the age of two, and although she could not speak fluently, she was almost magical. At the age of four, she was able to read the classics of the Four Books and had a unique understanding of the key points of the Five Classics.
To the extent that Xie Zhenghong once sighed that if Xie Shuting was a man, he would definitely have a place in the court and it would not be an exaggeration for him to wear a purple dragon robe.
Although outsiders do not know Xie Zhenghong's evaluation, Jiang Han, the mistress of the Jiang family, quite agrees with it and has liked Xie Shuting since she was a child.
With the approval of the heads of the Xie and Jiang families, there was an endless stream of people coming to get engaged. Some even wanted to get Xie Zhenghong drunk to get the marriage certificate, knowing that Xie Zhenghong loved wine.
Unfortunately, although Xie Shuting only has the body of a two-year-old, she has the memories of two lives. These people's methods were strangled in the cradle before they were implemented.
Didn't Xie Zhenghong like to drink? Xie Shuting adjusted the tea production from the beginning, which directly changed the taste of Xie Zhenghong, who was addicted to alcohol.
After a series of sugar-coated bullets and the scale of Lian's business, Xie Zhenghong finally compromised and announced at home that Shu Ting's marriage was up to her and no one could interfere.
Xie Tingwen was so angry that his back teeth were chattering, but when he saw that chubby face, the anger in his heart turned into guilt.
Since he, as the biological father, agreed, the other elders of the Xie family stopped saying anything and nodded "yes" repeatedly.
Standing in the living room for a while, Xie Zhenghong pulled his cloak together in boredom and said, "Xie Chen! Go to the Qianhe Restaurant in the city tomorrow to deliver a message, saying that I will be back to Laigu County after the New Year."
Xie Chen listened to the words that made no sense, and asked suspiciously, "Master! Shouldn't we send letters through the post station? Why through the restaurant?"
"Going through the restaurant is faster than going through the post station. You can ask them to pass the message to the restaurant in Laigu County and they will know. Also, when you pass the message, bring the Duan inkstone in the study and they will understand."
"Yes!~" Xie Chen leaned over and responded.
Xie Zhenghong looked back again
Xie Zhenghong sighed, looked at the fireworks still blooming in the sky, turned around and left the living room. His back looked lonely.
Compared to Xie Ningzhi's misery and Xie Shuting's joy, there was another person who was extremely melancholy during such an important festival as New Year's Day.
In Qinzhou, in the Tianzi Room of Jingxuan Restaurant, Li Shixian sat by the window holding a jar of wine, looking at the prosperous scene of the city, but his heart felt desolate for a long time.
After the battle in the wilderness two days ago, she knew that her identity was exposed, but if she didn't solve the trouble in the dark, her next journey would be hindered.
Not to mention whether she could find out about Penglai Fairy Mountain, she would have to plan carefully before returning to Gu County. After all, she didn't want to return to Xie Shuting in danger.
What a pity! After a few days of observation, Li Shixian still did not notice the other party's means, and a trace of suspicion arose in his heart.
"Am I wrong?"
Li Shixian shook his head, thought deeply for a moment and said, "That shouldn't be the case! Whether it was that day or a few days ago, I didn't leave any flaws at all. How could the other party find me accurately?"
As soon as Li Shixian finished speaking, he heard clear footsteps coming from outside the door, accompanied by the sound of "bang bang bang" knocking on the door, and then heard the waiter's clear voice: "Sir! The wine and food you ordered..."
Before the waiter finished speaking, there was a creaky sound and the door was opened instantly.
Looking at the elegantly dressed Li Shixian in front of him, the waiter swallowed his saliva subconsciously and said, "Sir! Your wine and food are here. Do you want... anything else?"
"Need not."
Li Shixian responded calmly and took the wine and food.
The waiter scratched his head in confusion and was about to turn around and leave when he saw Li Shixian appear behind him as if by magic.
As the light in front of him dimmed, the waiter subconsciously hid aside and patted his chest gently and said, "Sir, it's late at night, can you walk with a little more noise?"
It’s no wonder that the waiter was so scared, but Li Shixian’s movements were very gentle and there was no sound at all.
Little did people know that she had practiced martial arts for many years, so she walked very lightly, and no one would notice if she didn't make any sound intentionally.
Upon hearing this, Li Shixian took out a silver ingot from his arms with a slightly apologetic look. This was a small ingot of silver that Xie Shuting had prepared earlier. It was exactly one or two taels in weight. It was easy to carry and looked good.
The waiter took the ingot with joy, subconsciously put it in his mouth and bit it, his eyes instantly starting to light up.
He looked at Li Shixian and said uncertainly, "Sir! The shopkeeper said he would settle your expenses. I wonder if this is..."
"This is a reward for you."
"Hey!~"
The waiter smiled and flattered: "Thank you for the reward, sir. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
"Wait!~"
Li Shixian hurriedly stopped the waiter, took a step forward, and asked, "What if you were... no, what if you were targeted by a dog?"
Li Shixian didn't have much hope to find out anything from a waiter. After all, there were some things that the other party couldn't get involved in.
"Yeah!~"
The waiter looked at Li Shixian suspiciously and said, "I wonder what this gentleman wants to ask?"
"The dog has been targeting you. He can find you wherever you go. What would you do?" Li Shixian explained quickly.
The waiter was confused by what he heard, but when he thought of the silver in his hand, he couldn't help but express his opinion.
"If a dog is targeting you, why not just kill him? Killing a dog is not against the law."
After the waiter finished speaking, he glanced at Li Shixian and saw that his expression was still cold. He thought that the other party might be dissatisfied with the result.
After thinking for a moment, the waiter said again: "If you can't kill it, find a way to avoid it. After all, dogs chase people by their sense of smell."
Suddenly! Li Shixian's eyes lit up, and his originally silent face revealed a hint of joy.
Immediately! He took out another ingot of silver from his bosom, threw it to the waiter and said: "This is also a reward for you. Don't say anything nonsense about what I just said, otherwise you will be killed."
"Yes, yes, yes!~" The waiter nodded repeatedly, took the silver and quickly left the attic.
Li Shixian returned to the room, immediately sat cross-legged on the bed, concentrated his mind and closed his eyes to start meditating.
But after a moment, she slowly opened her eyes, the slightly sad expression on her face faded, and a long-lost joy appeared in her eyes. She said: "So that's it, what a wonderful secret fragrance."
......
The next day, Xie Chen followed Xie Zhenghong's instructions and came to Qianhe Restaurant in the city. He successfully found the owner of the restaurant and conveyed Xie Zhenghong's message.
The other party was a little skeptical at first, but after looking at the Duan inkstone handed over by Xie Chen, his expression changed slightly, and he instantly understood the meaning.
The Duan inkstone may look ordinary, but the lotus pattern on the side of the inkstone is unique to the Lotus House. As soon as the inkstone appeared, the shopkeeper knew the other party's identity.
He nodded repeatedly in response to Xie Chen's request, and immediately called a waiter to give him a few simple instructions, and ordered him to go and deliver the message quickly.
