After a meal that was swept away by whirlwind.

Feng Yuanfei covered his bulging belly and sighed, "I didn't expect Brother Xie Lan's cooking to be so delicious. If you ask me, it's on par with the chef at Piaoxianlou!"

The second, third and fourth place winners were very supportive. Even though they were about to pass out from drunkenness, they still shouted: "Big brother is right! Master Xie's cooking skills can directly replace the position of the chef of Piaoxianlou!"

"How come Master Xie is so powerful? He is good at martial arts, can read, can cook, and is handsome. Does God want me to die?"

Xie Lan couldn't help laughing. He carried the five drunk people one by one to the kang next to him, and then said to Feng Yuanfei: "Brother Yuanfei, I'll go make some sobering soup. You guys lie down for a while."

Feng Yuanfei nodded dazedly, leaned forward, and fell asleep on the kang.

Jiang Wan helped Xie Lan to deal with the dishes on the table.

Because Xie Jing had been drinking alcohol, his face turned red from the spiciness after he had only drunk half a cup. Before he could even take a few more sips, he fell asleep on the table.

Xiaohu was covered in rage after being sprayed with anger by him, but not only did she not despise him, she even carried him back to her room to rest.

Jiang Weiran went to Fourth Aunt Xie's house to return the stool, while the two little girls Xie Xueling and Xiaoliu cleaned up the main room. Everyone had their own duties and everything was in order.

Feng Yuanfei and his companions stayed at Xie Lan's residence until the evening before leaving.

Before leaving, Feng Yuanfei said to Xie Lan, "Brother Xie Lan, there will be a deal in two days. A medicine hall in the county will transport a batch of precious medicinal materials to Qingzhou. Qingzhou is more than 300 miles away from here, and it will take about eight or nine days to go back and forth. I will send Erqiang to find you when the time comes."

Xie Lan nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll make preparations in advance."

Feng Yuanfei smiled and said, "You don't need to make any preparations. I have absolute confidence in your skills. You just need to bring some dry food and clothes."

"it is good."

Feng Yuanfei and four others rode away on horseback. Xie Lan, Xie Jing and Xiaohu stood at the door and watched them go.

Xie Jing was sober now. He looked at Feng Yuanfei and the others riding tall horses and said enviously, "Brother, I also want to be a bodyguard, so that I can travel on horseback, which is both majestic and domineering."

Xie Lan glanced at him and said, "You want to ride a horse? We have one at home."

Xie Jing said: "Dahei is our family's carriage, you can't ride it. Brother, I don't just want to ride a horse, I also want to be a well-traveled escort like Brother Yuan Fei and his friends!"

His eyes sparkled and his cheeks flushed with excitement.

Xie Jing never knew what to do.

He was not as patient and quick-witted as his elder brother when it came to studying, so he chose to learn martial arts like his elder brother.

But now that his elder brother was going to be a bodyguard, Xie Jing's confused goal suddenly became firm.

He also wants to be a bodyguard!

Follow the big brother to travel around, go through dangers and become a man of integrity!

Xie Lan refused mercilessly: "No."

After saying this, he walked towards the yard.

Xie Jing hurriedly caught up with him, unwillingly asking, "Why? Brother, isn't it good for me to be a bodyguard with you? We can help each other!"

Xie Lan said without even turning his head: "No means no, if you want to find something to do, practice horse stance more, you have been a little slack recently."

Xie Jing blushed and muttered quietly: "It's so cold in the mornings these days, how can I get up and do horse stance?"

Xie Lan looked back at him with a serious tone.

"You can't even get out of bed, and you still want to escort? Xiao Jing, do you think escorting is a joke? I'm afraid you can't even imagine the hardship and danger involved. When you can work under my command for a stick of incense, then we can talk about going to the escort agency."

Xie Jing was stunned. His mouth seemed to be sewn shut with silver needles and he couldn't open it at all.

Xie Lan turned around and walked into the main room, closing the door with a bang.

Xiaohu didn't know how to comfort Xie Jing, and was about to step forward to say a few words when Jiang Wan came over.

"Little dwarf, your elder brother is right. Being a bodyguard is not as simple as you think. You are still young, and you don't need to do such dangerous things. You will encounter all kinds of unexpected dangers and accidents on the road. If you don't have a certain level of skills and courage, it is easy for robbers to take away your goods, or even rob you and kill you."

Jiang Wan walked over to Xie Jing, patted him on the shoulder, and encouraged him: "First, you should practice the basic skills well, and then practice the moves taught by your eldest brother over and over again. When you have made some progress, your eldest brother will definitely let you go."

Xie Jing suddenly felt a lump in his throat and almost shed tears.

He gritted his teeth, trying hard not to let his tears fall, and said forcefully: "Humph, I'm going to concentrate on practicing even without you telling me. I didn't pay attention to it before, but if I take it seriously, I will definitely impress my elder brother!"

Jiang Wan knew Xie Jing's temper. He was competitive, caring about his reputation, and liked to be tough.

But it is normal for a young boy to have some flaws. As long as he can correct them in time, they are not shortcomings.

In order to protect Xie Jing's little self-esteem, Jiang Wan did not ridicule him, but praised him: "That's right, everything needs a determination before it starts. As long as you have the determination, when you want to give up halfway in the future, think about your bold words today."

Jiang Wan was so considerate that Xie Jing couldn't hold it in anymore and dropped his little pearl.

Jiang Wan was confused.

She rarely saw Xie Jing cry.

Xie Jing wiped her tears carelessly and sobbed, "From now on, I will never be lazy again. I will definitely practice Kung Fu well!"

The family's conditions have improved dramatically in the past two months, and Xie Jing has become a little lazy.

In the past, he used to get up early to practice martial arts with Xie Lan, and go up the mountain to chop firewood.

Since having a kang at home, Xie Jing doesn't get up so early and sometimes even stays in bed.

The basic skills Xie Lan taught him were still limited to simple punching and retracting fists and horse stance. He had not yet learned the more difficult kicking, hitting, throwing and grabbing.

Thinking of all the scenes of laziness in the past, Xie Jing felt very ashamed.

He stopped crying and promised Jiang Wan with red eyes: "Sister-in-law, you will supervise me in the future. If I slack off for one day, you can punish me at will!"

Jiang Wan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay."

After that, she took out two Gu Yuan Dan from her hand and handed them to Xie Jing and Xiao Hu, saying, "One for each of you."

"what is this?"

"These are candied beans." Jiang Wan stuffed them directly into their mouths. "After you finish eating, go to my father's room and listen to him recite the Three Character Classic. Xueling and Xiaoliu are listening carefully. Even if you two don't take the imperial examinations in the future, you must learn to read and write, otherwise you will bring shame to me and your eldest brother."

Xie Jing swallowed the Gu Yuan Dan with a gulp, smacked his lips and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you have any more? They're delicious."

Jiang Wan: "..."

Do you think these are real sugar beans that you can eat as much as you want?!

Jiang Wan began to chase people away, "Hurry up! Listen for half an hour, and then eat!"

"understood!"

Xie Jing smiled happily and ran away with Xiaohu.

Jiang Wan was about to go back to her room to rest when the door behind her was suddenly opened by Xie Lan.

Then a warm voice sounded, "Come in."
