It is said that when Xie Ao and Wang Xiangyi returned to Xie's mansion, the sky had already darkened. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
From a distance, Xie Ao saw Sanbao guarding the door, and when he saw Xie Ao coming, he hurriedly ran over. "Childe, why did you come back so late, there are people waiting for you in the house." San Bao looked behind him, "Childe, what kind of person is this little lady!" What's the relationship between the two of you? β
"Go, go, little brat, stay where it's cool."
At this time, the woman behind Xie Ao also blushed a little, and she said to Xie Ao, "Thank you Gongzi for escorting the little girl to Wujiang safely, I'd better go to the restaurant to find the master." β
"It's getting late now, and besides, your foot is injured, and it's not convenient to go out, so I think it's better to talk about it tomorrow! I'll ask Sam Bao to report to your master first, and that's all right. β
"Then there's Mr. Lao."
Xie Ao turned to Sanbao and said, "You go to the Hongyun Restaurant to find a divine doctor surnamed Sun, and then tell him that her apprentice is temporarily staying in the Xie Mansion tonight, so that he doesn't have to worry." Go and come back quickly. β
"Okay". The three treasures disappeared as soon as they slipped away. Xie Ao led Wang Xiangyi into the mansion, and at this time he saw Shopkeeper Huang and Wang Zicong drinking in the courtyard.
"Why are you two here again? When did you come?"
"We're here a long time ago, just waiting for you, let's have a drink together!" At this time, the shopkeeper Huang took out a cloth bag, and it seemed that there were coins in it.
Shopkeeper Huang handed the bag to Xie Ao, "Master Xie, this is your share of dividends, I brought it to you." Since you told me the secret, many people have come to my shop to buy things, and the iron pot you designed last time, Wang Gongzi bought ten mouthfuls in one go, and there are still people coming to book these days. I've been busy at the smithy and don't have time to come and see you. It just so happened that Wang Gongzi came to pick up the goods in the shop, so we came together. β
Xie Ao took the cloth bag containing the money and checked it with his hand, which was a little heavy. "Shopkeeper Huang, have you counted more for me, otherwise why are there so many?"
The shopkeeper Huang said, "I didn't give more, it was all according to the son's prior discussion, and it was opened in three sevens." Now with the support of Wang Gongzi's iron mine, I no longer have to worry about Zhang Ji blacksmith shop messing with me. I heard that their blacksmith shop has seen a lot of business drop recently. I was so happy that I finally raised my eyebrows. β
'It's really refreshing for people to be in good spirits on happy occasions', Xie Ao saw that the shopkeeper Huang and Wang Zicong both smiled. Xie Ao said to Wang Zicong, "Shopkeeper Huang is so happy because things are sold, what are you happy about?" β
"My father praised me, I have been running for the family, but I have never been praised by my father, this time my father praised me for buying the iron pot, and also promised that the iron mine on this side of the Wujiang River will be taken care of by me, do you say I can not be happy? I also plan to cooperate with Huang Shopkeeper for a long time in the future. β
"Then I'm here to congratulate you both."
"You should also congratulate yourself, this time the shopkeeper Huang brought a lot of money, a full four or five times? Listening to Uncle Huang, you also taught him this iron quenching technique, and I found that your brain is really bright. β
Patronized and chatted with the two, but forgot about the people around him. Because it was dark, the two of them didn't notice anyone behind Xie Ao. Wang Zicong looked behind Xie Ao and said, "Is it Sister Xiangyi?" How did you end up here? β
Hearing someone call her name, Wang Xiangyi also looked at it, "It turned out to be my cousin, aren't you in Yangzhou?" How did you come to Wujiang? β
Wang Zicong replied, "I'm here to talk to Brother Xie about some business matters?" How did you end up here? Aren't you with your master? β
"My master and his old man are in the restaurant, I went up the mountain to collect medicine and almost fell off the cliff, it was this Gongzi Xie who saved me."
Wang Zicong asked with concern, "Did you hurt anything?" How dangerous it is for a girl to go out to collect medicine. β
Wang Xiangyi said lightly, "I'm fine, a little injury is nothing." β
Looking at them, Xie Ao said, "It turns out that the two of you know each other, this world is really small, it is really fate that you two brothers and sisters can meet here." β
"Speaking of fate, our Wang Xie family had an indescribable and unclear fate three hundred years ago. Don't hide it from Brother Xie, I and Xiangyi, we are both after the Langya Wang family, but in recent years, the family has become more and more silent, and it is not as prosperous as it was back then. β
"It turns out that you are the queen of the Langya Wang family, that is really fate, my family's ancestral hometown is Chenjun Xie's family, but it has been passed on to my generation, and the talent is withering more and more."
"Brother Xie is humble, I think you are a great talent."
Xie Ao said humbly, "Zicong praised it. β
At this time, Wang Zicong turned his gaze to Wang Xiangyi again, "How long have you not been back to Chang'an, are you still blaming them?" Let's go back and see my uncle when I have time. β
Wang Xiangyi was quite quiet, but when she heard the word "home", she immediately became a little irritable. "Don't mention it to me, okay? They did that to me, why should I go to see them? β
"They're doing it for you, too."
"Don't talk about it."
Originally, the atmosphere between the two was quite good, but for some reason, it felt like a fight, and the tension was tense. Xie Ao found that "home" seemed to be a taboo for Wang Xiangyi, and no one was allowed to mention it in front of her.
"Okay, okay, don't quarrel with the two of you anymore, Xiaoqian, you help Miss Wang to rest first, I still have something to talk to with Shopkeeper Huang and Zicong."
After watching them go back to the room to rest, Xie Ao said to Wang Zicong and Shopkeeper Huang, "There is wine today and drunk today, I will toast you two times." β
"I didn't expect that Mr. Xie not only has a smart head, but also has such a good literary style, and his export is a chapter!"
"Shopkeeper Huang is going to make fun of me."
Touching the heavy cloth bag, Xie Ao earned his first pot of gold in Datang. Although he was in Suzhou before, because of the shark, the old man gave two pieces to Xie Ao, but Xie Ao felt that the money should be given to the old man, so that time could not be regarded as the first pot of gold.
Xie Ao thought about using the money to buy some things for the family, because Daddy is usually very economical, and many things at home are very old. With this money, you can buy a set of clothes for Daddy, Nurse, Xiaoqian, and Sanbao, and you can also add some furniture to your home. Xie Ao thought about it, and he was quite proud in his heart, he was no longer a nerd who only ate dry meals all day and didn't do any work.
Hearing that Xie Ao was going to buy them clothes, Xiao Qian was overjoyed. Although the Xie family has never treated them badly, they can only get three or four sets of clothes a year, which is much better than other families. Girls are always hard to resist new clothes, although Xiaoqian is a slave, but she has also reached the age of beauty.
Just when Xie Ao was thinking about how to spend this first pot of gold, Sanbao also came back, and he said to Xie Ao, "Childe, I went to the restaurant to inquire, that Sun Divine Doctor has already left, and left a letter when he left, saying that it was for her apprentice Wang Xiangyi." β
Xie Ao took the letter and muttered, "This old man is too unreliable, let a female disciple go out to collect medicine, and leave her alone." I wanted to get acquainted with this famous doctor, but it seems that this time I don't have this fate. β
He took the letter to Xiao Qian and asked her to forward it to Miss Wang. Looking at Sanbao, who was sweating profusely, Xie Ao patted him on the shoulder, "What are you kid doing in such a hurry." β
"It's nothing, I've been a fast runner since I was a kid."
Xie Ao looked at Sanbao's shoes again, and he found that Sanbao's shoes had a lot of patches, and one of his feet showed a small foot. As if realizing that Xie Ao was looking at him, Sanbao's feet moved back slightly.
"I've seen what I'm hiding. I have already told Xiao Qian to go to the cloth village tomorrow to buy some cloth and come back to make clothes for you, and I am buying a few pairs of shoes, you can go back and tell Xiao Qian your size. β
Sanbao was a little flattered, "Childe, you are good enough for Sanbao, you take care of food and shelter every day, and give me wages, my aunt said that Childe is a very good person." Besides, I haven't been here for a long time, so why am I embarrassed to get new clothes. β
"I think you're usually quite clever, huh? How can this be twisted and twisted, you are the people of my Xie Mansion, and on behalf of the faΓ§ade of my Xie Mansion, I also have the right to make your life better. β
"Thank you, Childe." Sambo's heart seemed to fluctuate a lot, and the corners of his eyes were a little moist.
Wang Zicong on the side accosted at this time, "Brother Xie, you person, I don't even know what to say about you, even the next person you are so good to them?" β
"In my eyes, they are not just subordinates, they are relatives. So after making money, my first thought was to share it with everyone, 'It's better to be happy alone, than to be happy together', or should I give each of you a set of clothes? β
Wang Zicong said proudly, "This feeling is good!" My size is ......"
Xie Ao said with a look of disdain, "Stop, stop." I've seen shameless, but I've never seen someone as shameless as you. β
In addition to clothes, Xie Ao also wanted to buy something else for Daddy. Although he is not Xie Ao's father, he cares about Xie Ao meticulously, so he makes money, and Xie Ao also wants to thank him. What should I give? Xie Ao fell into deep thought.
If Xie Ao knew that his father would be furious after seeing the gift he gave, I wonder if he would still insist on buying a gift for his father?
