Chapter 64: I Heard That You Have to Give a Gift When You Say Thank You
"Poof~" After Shen Yafei heard his words, the tea in her mouth squirted out directly, "Ahem, cough, cough." β
"The reputation of the prince is too great, and the lord of this county is loud enough, but he doesn't want to be famous anymore!" Shen Yafei alluded to the grand occasion when Xu Shizi took Yan Yu to walk the street.
"Ahem." Xu Shizi coughed in embarrassment.
"We still have something to do, Xu Shizi farewell!" Shen Yafei didn't want to stay with this person, so she grabbed Dabao and left.
As a result, Xu Shizi and Cheng Fang also followed.
"Is the prince so idle?" Shen Yafei finished shopping at the ready-to-wear shop, and then went to the calligraphy and painting shop, Xu Shizi was still following behind, Shen Yafei couldn't help it.
"Accompanying the princess is the most important thing for me now!" Xu Shizi laughed.
Shen Yafei saw the hippie smile of the young son, and was so angry by his shameless words. Shen Yafei put down the book in his hand, faced Xu Shizi, looked directly into his eyes, and said solemnly: "Xu Shizi! Please be careful! I'm still a girl who hasn't come out of the cabinet, so please don't joke casually. You know you can't marry me, and I won't marry you. So please call me Lord Minyi or Miss Shen in the future. β
Xu Shizi was tired of laughing at Shen Yafei, approaching step by step, Shen Yafei involuntarily retreated, but was trapped between Xu Shizi's tall body and the bookshelf, not daring to move casually. Dabao was also firmly guarded by Cheng Fang. Shen Yafei watched as the handsome face expanded more and more in front of her, and her face became uncontrollably rosy.
Xu Shizi approached Shen Yafei's face, showed a confused smile, and said, "What is the county lord doing so restrainedly, we will be husband and wife in the future." Xu Shizi seemed to have found the fun of teasing Shen Yafei, "What the county lord wants to buy, I will help you pay for it." β
When Xu Shizi spoke, the hot breath she exhaled sprayed directly onto Shen Yafei's face, and her chest was also very close, and she could almost feel the temperature on his body. This familiar feeling reminded her of the feeling she felt when she was in a coma in the Chengling Temple that day, and her face turned even redder. This feeling made her very uncomfortable and a little out of breath.
"Excuse me." Shen Yafei stretched out his hands and pushed Xu Shizi hard, but he didn't move.
"Son!"
She was annoyed and angry, and she didn't dare to tease her anymore, so she turned away slightly. Shen Yafei was still rubbing his arm when he walked out, this bastard definitely did it on purpose! Just let go of such a little space, obviously wanting to take advantage of her!
"Let's go." Shen Yafei summoned Dabao and left in a huff. Dabao glared at Cheng Fang and followed.
"Shizi." Cheng Fang looked at the back of the two leaving, unsure whether to follow or not.
"Let's keep up." With a warm smile on his face, he flicked his sleeves, put his hands behind his back, and slowly walked out of the store.
When Cheng Fang saw that his master was determined to win, he knew that he would not give up easily. But how does it feel like a bit of a jerk? It's urgent, and it's even more unlikely that the county lord of Minyi will let people help the eldest prince see a doctor, right? How can this son seem to be as happy as he sees some prey? Cheng Fang suddenly felt a little headache.
"Shizi, doesn't that seem like this, right? Just now, the county lord seemed to be angry. β
"You know, she's shy." Xu Shizi said with a smile.
"Speak as if you understand it." Cheng Fang muttered.
"What did you say?" Xu Shizi's sharp eyes instantly widened, and he knocked the fan in his hand twice on Cheng Fang's head, and said angrily.
"Hee-hee, the little one is saying that the son of the world is right. Shizi, you are so powerful, you know everything! Cheng Fang immediately put on a smiling face and complimented him.
Hearing his words, the prince straightened his back proudly and walked forward with his head held high. Cheng Fang instantly broke out in a cold sweat, how could the son of the world be like this, like a second person with no brains. Cheng Fang felt that the people around him were looking at them with strange eyes, and Cheng Fang couldn't help but take a step slower and stagger a certain distance from Xu Shizi.
"Miss, they're still following." Dabao whispered in Shen Yafei's ear.
Shen Yafei frowned: "I know, leave them alone." With these two followers, it's boring to go shopping, let's go find what to do, and then go straight back. β
"Hmm." Dabao nodded.
Shen Yafei and Dabao both got into the carriage, arrived at the mansion, and got off the carriage with Dabao's support.
"County Lord, what a coincidence!" Xu Shizi appeared at the gate again. In case he saw the two people who suddenly appeared, he immediately protected Shen Yafei and the others behind him and looked at them vigilantly.
"Don't be so nervous, lad. This son is a friend of your lord and your uncle. You don't have to be so protective of me, right? Xu Shizi smiled and said to Wanyi, "By the way, what's your name?" You are quite loyal, and with someone like you by the county lord's side, this son of the world will be relieved. Well, it's for you. As he spoke, he took out a hundred taels of silver from his bosom.
After Shen Yafei heard his words, she rolled her eyes directly. What does it mean to be relieved, as if he had worried about her. It's really speechless.
In case, he had already known that he was the son of the Xu Shizi, and Chengling Temple had also seen it that day. But he didn't forget Xu Shizi's insult to Shen Yafei a few days ago, he looked at the silver taels in Xu Shizi's hand with disdain, and didn't take it.
"Hehe, with personality." Xu Shizi didn't expect that since the people around Shen Yafei were not impressed by money, they looked at him with disdain, and they were a little embarrassed in an instant. So, he put the silver taels in his hand back into his pocket.
"Go open the door and ignore them." Shen Yafei reminded the thorny body like a stinger.
In case he went to open the door according to his words, but his eyes were still vigilantly looking at the two of them. Shen Yafei entered the door, but she didn't expect Xu Shizi and the two to follow up.
"You can't go in!" In case the two are kept out of the door. Xu Shizi glanced at Cheng Fang, and Cheng Fang stopped him, and Xu Shizi went in in a flash. Immediately, Cheng Fang also flashed in with a quick light skill, in case it was not the opponent of the two at all. In case of annoyance, you want to attack them from behind.
"Just in case! You go and put the carriage first, and I'll take care of the matter here." Shen Yafei knew that if she couldn't fight these two people, she was worried that he would suffer a loss, so she directly supported him.
"But Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·" In case there is some worry and reluctance to leave.
"It's okay, you can go." Shen Yafei said with a smile, giving him a reassuring look. In case I did as she instructed, I went to the side door to set up the carriage.
In case after leaving, Shen Yafei did not continue to walk inside, but looked at Xu Shizi, "What is Xu Shizi doing?" Is it a trespassing? β
"Xiaoya, how can you say that? Aside from the fact that I'm your future husband, I'm also your savior. Can't you ask a life-saver to come in and sit down? Xu Shizi smiled.
"Who told you to call me that?" Shen Yafei saw him so cheeky, she really jumped to her feet and yelled loudly.
"If you don't call it that, then what should I call you? Yaya, Fei'er, Feifei, which one do you prefer? Xu Shizi said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
This person simply can't eat oil and salt, the more he screams, the more disgusting he becomes, Shen Yafei knows that no matter what she says, he may change his mind. simply turned his head and ignored him.
"What? Angry? However, Xu Shizi had no intention of letting her go.
"What the hell do you want?" Shen Yafei was defeated by him.
"Don't you want to do anything? Didn't I just say that? As your savior, I want to come in and sit. Xiaoya wouldn't do this to your savior, right? Xu Shizi still said with a smile.
"You did save me, but I also saved Princess Thunder, and I think we're even. Therefore, please don't call yourself a life-saving benefactor. Shen Yafei said.
"How can this work? I am me, my mother is my mother, and the two are separate. Don't worry, I will come to thank you for your kindness to my mother another day. But today, I am here as your life-saving benefactor, but Xiaoya does not admit that I saved you. Xu Shizi smiled at Shen Yafei.
"Unfortunately, I don't plan to receive you today." Shen Yafei has seen a lot of faceless and skinless things, but it is the first time that Xu Shizi has seen this kind of cultivation. Isn't letting him in a curse to yourself?
However, after listening to her words, Xu Shizi was unmoved, and he was going to rely on her with a dead face. Shen Yafei was reluctant, but she couldn't get rid of him. He had to follow.
"Miss?" Zhiyu and a few people were a little surprised when they saw Xu Shizi.
"Girl Zhiyu, we meet again." Before Shen Yafei could speak, Xu Shizi enthusiastically walked up to Zhiyu and Dayin.
Listening to what he said, as if there was some adultery between the two, the corners of Zhiyu's mouth twitched, and he could only laugh: "Slave and maid see Xu Shizi." β
"We are all our own people, and the girl doesn't have to be so polite." Xu Shizi said kindly.
Zhiyu was a little unclear, so he froze directly, in front of her young lady, is this really good? Zhiyu looked at Shen Yafei speechlessly.
"Plop" Shen Yafei rarely saw her usually clever maid, and she was stunned and laughed very unkindly. After laughing, he kindly told her: "Xu Shizi is mainly here to find our Zhiyu girl, it is better for Zhiyu girl to accompany Xu Shizi here." Zhiyan, you go and prepare some things to come over and entertain our distinguished guests. β
Then, gesturing to the chair next to the table, "Sit down!" I'll leave it to you here, I'll go and rest first. He left first.
Xu Shizi sat down unceremoniously, and after listening to Shen Yafei's words, Zhiyu also understood what it meant, so he also sat down. When Xu Shizi was in Jumeizhai, he had seen Shen Yafei eating at the same table with the status of the landlord and servant, and he didn't care much about these links anyway. It's just a little surprised that her attitude towards the maid is very kind, which is completely opposite to her previous behavior in Xianxianglou.
"Miss Zhiyu went to a manor on the outskirts of the capital last night?" Xu Shizi didn't want to watch his family suffer anymore, so he went straight to the point and made his intentions clear.
Zhiyu's eyes flashed quickly, "I'm sorry, I don't know what the prince is talking about?" I am the personal maid next to the young lady, so I naturally have to take care of her by my young lady's side. Our young lady has never been in the habit of going out at night, so I don't go out at night, let alone to a place so far away in the suburbs. β
"Zhiyu girl, I recognize your voice, and Yan Gongzi was also there last night, and he also recognized your technique of applying needles." Xu Shizi said, "Zhiyu girl, I didn't mean to expose you, nor did I come to trouble you. I just wanted to ask you for a favor. Last night, we watched you easily subdue a medicine man from the Poison Yama Valley. I think you should know something about the condition of these medicine people, I wonder if you will be able to treat them? To tell you the truth, a very important person close to me has also contracted this disease, so I hope that Miss Zhiyu can help take a look. β
The prince laughed, no one in the medicine people of the Poison Yama Valley had been able to save them for decades. Even if it was me last night, and I was only a teenager this year, not a few years older than you, how could I have the ability to treat the medicine man of the Poison Yama Valley? Zhiyu smiled.
"Zhiyu girl, I did see you subduing two medicine men last night." Xu Shizi didn't believe it.
"Really, Xu Shizi, I can't help you." Zhiyu said flatly.
"And where did you receive those two medicine men last night?" Xu Shizi asked in disbelief, "I know that the medicine people can't be killed, don't you arrest them to treat them, it's so difficult that you still want to kill them?" β
"I didn't say that, I did to save them, but I just used them for research, and I wanted to know if I could save them. It's a pity that I haven't found a way yet, and I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Xu Shizi. Zhiyu said apologetically. She knew that the young lady let Xu Shizi in, and then let her receive him, just to let her help him.
But Xu Shizi didn't believe it, he felt that Zhiyu must have a way to cure them. Otherwise, wouldn't it be self-defeating to put such a dangerous person around?
"Lady Zhiyu, can I ask you to help take a look at them?" Xu Shizi said without giving up.
Zhiyu glanced at Shen Yafei's direction, and then glanced at Xu Shizi with a smile but did not speak.
Xu Shizi understood what she meant in an instant, so he walked over to Shen Yafei's door and asked respectfully, "Xiaoya, can I invite your maid to my house?" β
"Nope." Shen Yafei's voice was light and decisive. Xu Shizi's mood instantly fell to the bottom when he heard this, he just talked to Zhiyu, and he knew that Zhiyu was completely at the mercy of Shen Yafei. If Shen Yafei doesn't speak, it is impossible for her to save people, so if she wants the help of the girl who knows the language, she must persuade Shen Yafei.
Just when Xu Shizi was in a depressed mood, Shen Yafei's voice sounded again, "My county lord's mansion has always been at odds with your palace of the king of light, how can the maids in my mansion go to your mansion!" Didn't the prince say that he would come another day to thank me for saving Princess Li's life? Then come over tomorrow. Tomorrow the lord of the county will have time to entertain the guests. β
"Okay. I'll be sure to bring someone tomorrow to say thank you. Xu Shizi said excitedly.
"I heard that this capital is very particular about giving thank-you gifts. I don't know if the thank-you gift in the Piwang Mansion is different from what ordinary people in the capital think? We haven't received a thank you gift in our house again! Shen Yafei said resentfully.
Xu Shizi immediately understood the meaning of her words, she was clearly asking him for money, "How can our Liwang Mansion be the same as ordinary people? Naturally, it is more grand than the average family. Then I'll take my leave here now, and I'll come back tomorrow. β
"No." Shen Yafei said lightly.
Xu Shizi bowed slightly to the house, and then said to Zhiyu: "Zhiyu girl, I want to say goodbye in the future." β
"Walk slowly." Zhiyu said.
As soon as Xu Shizi and Cheng Fang returned home, they told the family the good news.
After hearing this, the princess and the princess were overjoyed, and the princess took the Buddha beads that she asked for in the Chengling Temple on the first day, folded her hands, and recited: "The Buddha blesses, the Buddha blesses." β
Although Hua Xi's face didn't show any expression, the aura around him became warm.
Xu Shizi laughed and said, "Lord Minyi asked if Xie would give gifts?" β
Princess Pi chuckled, "Then I'll go and prepare now." β
"I'll go too, I'll ask the housekeeper to take out all the things that are in the house, and see which ones are practical and valuable, and send them over." The Emperor said, and then asked Xu Shizi, "Did she say she wanted toΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· What kind of gift do you like? β
"I didn't say it." Xu Shizi said, "I think the precious ones can be exchanged for silver taels, she will like them more, or send them directly." I went to her house a few days ago and went to her house today, her mansion is so big, but the only people who served were the few people I saw on the Chengling Temple that day, I think I don't have the money to invite so many people, right? β
"Well, then send more silver taels, but is it better to send silver tickets or silver ingots? Wouldn't it seem that we are too superficial? Princess Pi said to herself, and without waiting for anyone else to answer, she hurriedly took the hand of the Pi Lord and walked out.
Xu Shizi looked at his parents with an excited look on his face, and he was also very happy, but he still said all the words of Zhiyu to Hua Xi, "Big brother, Miss Zhiyu said that she is only able to control her condition now, and she is not yet able to cure your disease, she is actually still in the research stage." Xu Shizi was worried that the greater the hope of the eldest brother, the greater the disappointment, and couldn't help but remind him.
"It's okay, at least it's good to be able to control it. We don't have to be in pain every seven days. Hua Xi smiled.
The next day, all the family members of the Liwang Mansion went out, followed by more than a dozen carriages full of gift boxes, and occupied the entire street of the capital and drove towards the Minyi County Lord's Mansion. It caused a sensation in the entire capital for a while.
"Where are you going to the Thunder King's Mansion?" Someone curiously inquired with the coachman of the Liwang Mansion.
"Our master is going to the Mansion of the Lord of Minyi." The passers-by didn't expect the people from the Liwang Mansion to answer, but they didn't expect the coachman to tell him the matter generously.
"What are you going to do at the county lord's mansion?" Passers-by continued to ask.
"Lord Minyi saved our princess at the Chengling Temple, of course he went to thank him." The coachman said.
"So what's in the car is a thank you gift?" Passers-by continued to inquire.
The coachman nodded and smiled in return.
"What's in it?" It turned out to save Princess Li, no wonder she gave so many gifts. The prince has always loved his wife like his life, and he is famous in the capital. Xu Shizi also respects his mother and concubine very much, isn't saving Princess Pi equivalent to saving the entire Pi Palace? Is this Minyi County Lord going to be lucky?
The coachman glanced at him, closed his mouth, and said no more.
Passers-by rubbed their noses and laughed boredly.
