"This ......"

Xi Chaoqing was dumbfounded for a while, froze in place, looked at Xu Jing with incredible eyes in his beautiful eyes, and said, "Why didn't you tell me?

Xu Jing said: "That day, Lin Tieshi brought a vote of people, all of whom were Chinese magnates, and went to Xi's house to ask his father about the prescription of the ointment, saying that he would disclose the production method of the ointment to the world's magnates, so that everyone could make money from foreigners together." I thought it was funny, so I wasted his hand. ”

After hearing this, Xi Chaoqing frowned and said, "Then this is Lin Ruyan who clearly wants to deal with you, I thought she was trying to win you over...... Do you think you're too popular?"

Xu Jing nodded and said, "Well, that Lin Tieshi also asked me to surrender to the Lin family, I can see that they either want to win me over or abolish me." ”

Xi Hua sighed and said, "I heard from the people above that since Xu Jing, since you made a disturbance in Goryeo, many big names have appeared from the retreat cultivation, and they seem to feel your threat, and this Miss Lin is probably one of them." ”

Xu Jingxin was like a mirror, and said: "I understand that the Lin family asked me to announce the production method of the ointment, which is something I would not agree to, and the people on the Lin family's side also knew, so they came to test me." Once I break out first, the Lin family will have a reason to restrain me, probably because I am now on the cusp of the storm, which makes them look unpleasant. ”

Xu Jing's face was calm, and he said to Xi Hua: "Brother Hua, let's go, I'll go over to see her now." ”

Xi Chaoqing's eyes changed for a while, and he said to Xu Jing: "I'll go with you!"

Xu Jing turned his head and said: "Xiaoqing, you stay here first, if you also go with me, with your parents' cultivation in Xiaowan, you can't go down from this hundred meters in the air, their cultivation is just in its infancy, and there may be any accidents, you have to watch." Don't worry, I'm in control. ”

Xi Chaoqing thought for a moment, then said to Xu Jing: "That...... Husband, you must remember, don't offend Lin Ruyan now! This woman is not ordinary, she is one of the founders of the Green Gang, she started as a horse thief in her early years, and she once had a favor with my Xi family. This time you abolished one of her arms, and the grievance is not big, but it is not small, depending on what she says!"

Xu Jing nodded and said, "Well, I remember." ”

In fact, now Xi Chaoqing is also in a critical period of breakthrough, her cultivation has reached the peak of the Yuan Infant Stage, and she is about to break through to the Transformation of God, at this critical juncture, she must work hard to complete the breakthrough on this Qingjing Pavilion.

If something happens and causes a True Yuan disorder like the incident of her infiltration into Goryeo, it may be delayed for several days, or even months, before it can break through, and her cultivation at the ninth level of the Yuan Infant Stage can no longer be delayed, and reaching the Transformation Stage is a qualitative change.

"Xiao Jing, then you can go with me! Such a person is sitting in the Xi family now, and you are not here, I am really afraid that the Xi family will be in danger!" Xi Hua said anxiously.

"Good!"

After hearing this, Xu Jing didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately left Qingjing Pavilion with Xi Hua.

……

When they drove back to the Xi family's compound, it was already noon.

The courtyard was peaceful, and there was no scene that worried Xu Jing and Xi Hua.

Children are running and chasing in the compound, adults are chatting and drinking tea, and women are cooking vegetables, and the aroma of each room is constantly coming out, making people feel at ease.

"It's okay......" Xi Hua breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lin Ruyan came alone, or a group of people?" asked Xu Jing solemnly.

"Alone. ”

"Okay. ”

With that, the two of them had already walked into the deep courtyard inside the compound.

Xu Jing saw Xi Chaoqing's uncles, as well as other younger Xi family juniors, all gathered in a center, and the women were holding children, looking down at the front with a smile.

Xu Jing and Xi Hua glanced at each other suspiciously, and said, "What's going on ahead?"

Xi Hua scratched the back of his head and said, "I don't know, there seems to be Lin Ruyan's laughter in front." ”

Xu Jing's arrival did not attract the attention of any of the Xi family at all, and they were still watching something in one place with relish.

Xu Jing and Xi Hua squeezed in, wondering what they were looking at.

I saw—

Above the small stove in front of him, there was an iron pot, and the person in charge of the spoon was a woman half-squatting on the ground.

She was dressed in a white openwork sand Hanfu with short sleeves, and a light yellow makeup thin skirt on the ground, although shrouded in a slightly loose Hanfu, it can be known that she is a woman with an excellent figure, wearing the elegance and grace of Hanfu.

Looking up, she is holding a phoenix bun on her head, her hair is high, and there is a smile on her blushing goose egg face, gentle as jade, beautiful and vulgar, only from the appearance, like a twenty-six or seventeen-year-old, a beautiful young woman with a very temperament, between the eyebrows and eyes, only the word gentle, the most appropriate description.

"This is in our northern Shaanxi, called the heavenly spoon, optimistic. The woman was wearing a green jade hand on her white wrist, and she was holding the handle of the iron pot at this time, and with a strong push, all the mutton fried in the pot flew into the air.

At this moment, she immediately grabbed a handful of coriander and sprinkled it in the air at will, and after the mutton was re-put into the pot with the coriander in the air, the coriander had been directly scalded to half-cooked by the high temperature of the mutton, which was the time when the aroma was the strongest.

She casually poured the bowl of coriander mutton into the plate next to her, and said to the people around her with a smile: "Everyone come to taste it, not only does it look good, but it also tastes good!"

As she spoke, the woman picked up a piece of mutton with her hand without hesitation, got up and walked straight to Xu Jing, who was stunned.

The woman looked at Xu Jing with a smile, and gently tapped his chin with her index fingernail, and then the woman opened her mouth, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, as if coaxing a child, and said gently: "Open your mouth, ah~"

Xu Jing instinctively opened his mouth, and the woman put the freshly fried mutton into his mouth, and asked with a smile, "How does it taste?"

This mutton has almost no smell and is full of aroma, Xu Jing nodded and said, "It's okay." ”

The woman turned around and smiled at him, and beckoned the Xi family to go up and taste it, seeing her posture, it was Xu Jing who seemed to have come to someone else's house as a guest.

"You're Mr. Xu Jingxu, right?" the woman looked at Xu Jing with a smile.

She didn't know what means she used, in a short period of time, she had already gotten along with the Xi family, even if she was talking to him next to Xu Jing now, none of the Xi family members looked at this side, as if it was a family affair.

"Are you Lin Ruyan?" Xu Jing frowned, looked at her lightly and said.

"Well, my butler made you angry a few days ago, and today I'm here to apologize to you, I'm really sorry. ”

Lin Ruyan put his hands in front of him and bowed politely to Xu Jing.

Xu Jing said: "I'm ashamed, I should apologize to Miss Lin, I was reckless that day." ”

Lin Ruyan smiled and said: "Tieshi is a little anxious to do things, and if he is impulsive, it will be difficult for others, in fact, he came to Xi's house, I arranged it, Mr. Xu's ointment is so powerful, it can cure all diseases, so I think such a thing should be announced, so that no one in Huaxia is haunted by illness, and everyone can call on everyone to make money from foreigners together." I didn't expect Mr. Xu to be unwilling, in fact, it is normal, what Tieshi did was wrong, I hope Mr. Xu will forgive me. ”

After that, Lin Ruyan bowed to Xu Jing for the second time.

Xu Jing said: "Miss Lin is too polite, I didn't take this matter to heart. ”

Lin Ruyan raised his head and smiled: "It can be seen that Mr. Xu is actually a very enthusiastic person, I still remember that a hundred years ago, I bought the tea of the young master of the Xi family, and let Tieshi bring back 1,231 catties, the taste of the tea is very good, I like it very much, I have been drinking it for the past three days, Mr. Xu has bothered, I have time, I also brought some tea for Mr. Xu." ”

After that, Lin Ruyan wanted to bow her head again, but Xu Jing hurriedly interrupted her and said, "Miss Lin, you have something to say, don't always be like this, I am your junior, I can't bear it." ”

Xu Jing couldn't understand what Lin Ruyan meant, and couldn't tell whether she was sincerely apologizing or ridiculing her dissatisfaction.

At least Xu Jing could only feel sincerity from her, and there was no dissatisfaction.

Lin Ruyan's expression seemed to be a little abrupt, and said: "Yes! Unconsciously, a hundred years of time with a flick of a finger, Mr. Xu's amazing and talented character is actually my junior, if I am born a hundred years later, maybe I can become close friends with Mr. Xu, sit together on an equal footing, and spend a good time together." ”

Lin Ruyan's tone was calm and gentle, if it was to others, maybe he would have been moved in his heart.

But Xu Jing is comparable to others, what kind of style can he understand, and said unhappily at this time: "Miss Lin, if you continue to beat around the bush like this, I won't be able to talk to you anymore!"
