Hu Tiehua didn't stay at the Hua family to stay in Yangzhou Xie Ling didn't know, and he didn't have time to care about Chu Liuxiang's friend.

At noon on the second day after the handkerchief was returned, the maid suddenly told her that the eldest prince had returned from Jinling. To be honest, Xie Ling, who heard the news, was not as excited as he imagined, but was stunned for a moment, and then looked down at his still injured foot, and couldn't help but think, it's over, this is really the rhythm of the New Year here.

"The eldest prince is in the flower hall, does the girl want to meet him?" The maid asked her.

Xie Ling felt that it was not good for people to come back to see their families, and it was not good for them to rush to disturb them, not to mention that people might not remember themselves.

Thinking so, she decided to wait until tomorrow, anyway, according to Hua Manlou, his eldest brother had to stay until the fifth day of the first lunar month, so he wouldn't see him.

It turned out that Hua Xiyun came over first.

He heard about Xie Ling from his seventh brother, in fact, he still has some impressions of the little girl he saved back then, if you want to say the reason, it is about Xie Ling's crying appearance at that time is really pitiful and a little funny.

And although he has helped a lot of people, it is the only time that he has been waiting for him to miss the appointment in the end, and it is difficult to remember it.

Hua Manlou walked in front of him to show the way, walked very steadily, not like a blind person at all, he was also quite emotional in his eyes, he was not worried that this illness would make Hua Manlou depressed from now on, but his seventh brother not only did not disappoint him, but even surprised him.

Their brother's relationship has always been very good, he missed the appointment and didn't go to Huichun Hall to find Xie Ling, because Hua Manlou was sick, he didn't worry about throwing his younger brother to the people to take care of, and he couldn't walk away.

At that time, Hua Manlou's health was not very good, and later he went to Jinling to catch the exam, and stayed in Jinling, and the rest of the family did not take care of Hua Manlou as meticulously as he did when he did, which made Hua Manlou blinded by that sudden illness.

When the two of them arrived at the right wing, Xie Ling was in a daze at the bowl of noodles sent from the kitchen, she was a person who was not spicy or happy, but the kitchen of the Hua family took care of her as a wounded, and even the noodles were clear soup and little water, which was simply too devastating.

"Is Sister Ah Ling here?" A clear child's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

Xie Ling was unable to move, and when he heard the voice of Hua Manlou, he only raised his head, "Come in." ”

She was still holding a pair of chopsticks in her hand, and just as she wanted to put it down, she saw the person who came in with Hua Manlou.

He wore a moon-white robe, a piece of jasper hanging from his waist, long hair tied in a crown, a gentle face, a light smile on the corner of his mouth, and a slightly inquiring look in his eyes, but there was no malice. As soon as the two looked at each other, they both recognized each other.

Hua Manlou said again in a timely manner: "My eldest brother is back, he also remembers Sister Ah Ling, so I will take him to take a look, is my sister eating?" ”

Xie Ling looked at the bowl of noodles that had barely been touched and nodded, "Yes, yes." ”

"You've grown so big." Hua Xiyun sighed with some emotion, and looked at the wheelchair under her, "How are your feet?" ”

At best, the benefactor who could only be regarded as a one-sided relationship would talk to her in such an ordinary tone was something she had never imagined, she shook her head, "It's no problem, it will be fine soon." ”

"That's good." Hua Xiyun glanced at his younger brother again and smiled, "Qitong just told me how he met you, which is quite a coincidence. ”

"It's a coincidence." Xie Ling also pursed his lips and pinched the chopsticks in his hand, "Thanks to the playboy back then." ”

"It's just a gesture, I can't watch them beat a little girl to death in the street." Hua Xiyun waved her hand so that she didn't have to mind, "I heard that your younger brother is also taking classes with Qitong now?" ”

When he mentioned this, Xie Ling's gratitude to the Hua family was even greater, and he nodded hurriedly: "Yes, Master Hua has a heart." ”

Hua Xiyun felt that her attitude was a little too sincere and fearful, but thinking of what happened to Xie Ling during this time that her younger brother told her, she felt that it was normal for such a girl to have this kind of reaction, so she ignored the past.

"Sister Ah Ling doesn't need to be so polite." Hua Manlou said with a smile, "But I just mentioned the incident you told my eldest brother that my eldest brother didn't come to you because he was taking care of me." ”

"That's right." Xie Ling suddenly realized, "Actually, I just wanted to say thank you to the playboy at that time, after all, the playboy saved my life, not to mention, but also introduced me to work in the Rejuvenation Hall, which helped me and my brother a lot." ”

"It's all old." Hua Xiyun said, "Besides, I heard that Dr. Sun is very picky on weekdays, and you can stay in the Rejuvenation Hall because of your own ability." ”

The three of them chatted for a while, and then he left with Hua Manlou. Before leaving, he also reminded Xie Ling that the bowl of noodles was about to stick together after being left for too long, so it was better to let the kitchen change the bowl.

Xie Ling was a little embarrassed, and he didn't add chili peppers to a bowl in the kitchen, so he would be able to do it all at once.

However, thanks to this bowl of noodles, Xie Ling's stomach churned uncomfortably that night, and he tossed and turned for a long time without falling asleep.

When people can't sleep, it's easy to think too much, especially Xie Ling has been busy being a rice worm all day long, and the words that Chu Liuxiang said before have been floating in his mind many times.

Although the other party's tone was five serious and five points playful, except for those praises that any girl likes to hear, Chu Liuxiang also spoke sincerely.

If she hadn't encountered this incident, Xie Ling probably wouldn't have been shaken so quickly, but at this time, the two sisters and brothers had to send someone under the fence, and things were much stricter than she imagined.

And Chu Liuxiang was even willing to take a step back and not let anyone know that Xie Xing was his apprentice, she had to admit that the other party really guessed her thoughts thoroughly.

This hesitation and anxiety has accompanied her through the Chinese New Year's Eve of this year.

Although for various reasons, their sister and brother spent the New Year outside for the first time, but fortunately, there was also Chu Liuxiang, who stayed here, came to eat with them.

Xie Ling watched the pair of masters and apprentices get along very well, and his heart was both comforted and a little sour.

She thought that maybe it would be okay to let Xie Xing learn some, after all, she didn't want to cause trouble now, but the trouble took the initiative to get into trouble, if Chu Liuxiang had not been entrusted by someone to investigate this matter, she might have been arrested by those people with bad intentions.

Xie Xing also noticed that her attitude had softened, at least when she looked at Chu Liuxiang, her face and tone were much gentler than before, but he still didn't say anything about secretly going to Chu Liuxiang again.

He hoped that Xie Ling would stop thinking about this until he recovered from his injury, at least—at least for a good year.

As soon as Chinese New Year's Eve passed was Xie Ling's birthday, in the past, when Xie Ling was at home, Xie Ling would always get up early to make a bowl of noodles for herself, but now there is no such condition, and her feet are not well, she simply relied on the bed for two more hours.

And then after rubbing and washing, it is already the point of the sun.

The maid suddenly knocked on the door and asked if she was there, saying that the eldest prince was coming.

Xie Ling was taken aback, she didn't know what this benefactor was doing on the first day of the new year, but this was someone's territory anyway, and she really couldn't control how people wanted to go.

Hua Xiyun was dressed much heavier than before, and when he came in, he seemed to still have a cold air on his body, Xie Ling looked at the tiny water droplets on his mink cloak, and then looked at the food box he was holding in his hand, and asked with some hesitation: "Is the dude going out?" ”

The other party smiled but didn't say a word, just walked over and put the food box on the table in front of her and opened it, and the heat and fragrance came to her nose.

It is the lion's head of crab roe that she likes, and there is a plate of money shrimp cakes underneath, the shell is fried until golden brown, and you can tell that the bite must be crispy first and then fluffy, which is extremely tempting.

"Qitong said, Miss Xie, your cooking skills are better than our cooks." Hua Xiyun arranged the two dishes and handed over the chopsticks, "But I remember that you also like the crab roe lion head in Tianxianglou, it just so happens that I have rarely gone back to my hometown in the past few years, and I thought of it today and went to buy it, why don't you try it again with me?" ”

Xie Ling is not a fool, and after a little thought, he guessed that he was the only one who did today when he saw that he didn't move a bite of the bowl of noodles that night.

It's not unimpressed.

"I also heard from Qitong last night that your brother said that today is your birthday, and he went to the kitchen to learn how to cook noodles." He paused here and smiled at Xie Ling, "But you must spoil him very much." ”

Of course, Xie Ling knew how destructive Xie Xing was in the kitchen, and he was extremely embarrassed, "I'm causing you trouble." ”

"It's not troublesome, it's not for me to clean up anyway." He joked, "Don't you try this?" It's not good to eat when it's cold. ”

As if he was afraid of Xie Ling's restraint, the chopsticks in his hand had already stretched out first, and the lion's head, which originally exuded an attractive fragrance, was gently clamped, and the aroma was even more intense.

Seeing him take a small bite elegantly, Xie Ling felt that his saliva was about to stay, and immediately followed his heart and stretched out his chopsticks.

There is a slight difference between the crab roe lion's head in Tianxianglou and the taste in her memory, but no matter what kind of taste, it is always a delicious taste that she can't afford to eat.

Both times it was the same person's light that he was able to eat such an expensive thing, Xie Ling was also very emotional, and thanked him again when he ate, "The dude has a heart." ”

The two of them shared the two dishes, during which Hua Xiyun said a few words about Hua Manlou before he lost his sight, and there was a pity in his words, Xie Ling could guess that he liked this younger brother very much when he heard his tone, this mood was actually very understandable, after all, she was also a person with a younger brother.

"But to be honest, a younger brother like Hua Manlou should be extremely worry-free."

"It's just too worry-free." Hua Xiyun shook her head and handed her the last piece of money shrimp cake, "It's so sensible, the last thing the whole family needs to worry about is him, if not-"

Speaking of this, his expression was a little depressed, Xie Ling saw it in his eyes, and it was also a pity, "I understand the mood of the playboy, I sometimes hope that Ah Xing doesn't have to be too sensible, but on the other hand, he was sensible earlier, and he can handle it if I am not by his side in the future." ”

Hua Xiyun thought for a moment, and said, "Yes, you're right. ”
