However, for this problem, Xia Jin has worked countless times to finally convince Xia Zhengqian and Shu Shi that she has no interest or obligation to brainwash Dong Fang again. Dong Fang thought that she was from a higher background than Xia Jin, and thought that she knew etiquette better than Xia Jin, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to convince her.

Xia Jin said lightly: "My business, I have my own measure. ”

Dong Fang originally wanted to say something more, but seeing Xia Jin's attitude, she closed her mouth and stopped talking.

Xia Jin sighed secretly and turned his gaze to the car window.

Liu San saw that she was a woman, and Xia Jin was not ready to tell Dong Fang. Once she knows, it is estimated that she will not go out with Xia Jin next time. In the way of Dong Yan, Xia Jin really can't do anything about her.

The carriage was galloping around the city, and after a meal, it stopped at the door of Xia's house.

Xia Jin got out of the car and was about to lift his feet to enter the gate, when the mother-in-law guarding the door smiled and said, "Young master, the housekeeper of Luofu Yu is here, I've been waiting for you for a while." ”

Xia Jin was surprised. Butler, what is he here for?

She turned her head and glanced at Dong Fang: "Follow me to the front hall." ”

Dong Fangping only went out with Xia Jin, and as soon as he entered the summer house, he went back to his yard, and everything that served Xia Jin was done with iris and mint. At this time, after listening to Xia Jin's instructions, she had to turn around, follow Xia Jin, and go to the front hall.

Butler Yu was accompanied by Uncle Luo to drink tea and chat in the side hall of the front yard, and when he saw Xia Jin coming in, he hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Young Master Xia, are you back?" ”

"Why does Steward Yu have time to come over?" Xia Jin smiled and sat down on the main seat.

Uncle Luo knew that they had something to discuss, so he poured Xia Jin a cup of tea and withdrew.

"My son-in-law asked me to come over and help Mr. Xia buy a cook."

Xia Jin went out for a spin, he was already thirsty, and he picked up the teacup and was about to drink tea. Hearing this, his hands were mixed and he almost spilled the tea in the cup.

"Your son-in-law, asked you to come and buy a cook for me?" She repeated it, for fear that she had misheard.

"Exactly." Steward Yu said with a smile, "My son-in-law heard that Mr. Xia is going to partner with Mr. Su and them to open a restaurant, and I'm worried that Mr. Son, you won't be able to find a suitable cook." It just so happened that two families in the province were convicted and were going to have their homes raided. The subordinates in their house were about to be dismissed, so they asked the villain to ask Xia Gongzi if he was interested in buying their cook. ”

Xia Jin looked at Butler Yu in a daze. I was speechless for a long time.

She put aside Luo Qian and Cen Ziman to open a restaurant, and rejected Luo Qian's feelings, she thought that even if Luo Qian didn't hate her, he would never associate with her again. He has a good family background. is still a showman, with good conduct. looks handsome, how many ladies in the city secretly agree to him, and Zhu Xinlan and Li Yuyuan even publicly broke their heads for him. In the eyes of the world, she is the difference between her and him.

Now she absolutely rejected his offer. It's definitely a very self-respecting thing. Even if he wasn't furious, he should have brushed his sleeves away and not looked at her again. But I don't want to. He still cared about her business, when she was helpless when she was in trouble. Take the initiative to help her!

Seeing that Xia Jin didn't speak, Butler Yu thought that she had misunderstood her son-in-law, so he hurriedly explained: "My son-in-law said, he heard the news that someone was raided in the morning, and thought that you needed a cook, so he asked me to come over and mention it to Mr. Xia, so that Mr. Xia should not think about it, this matter does not involve anything else." If Mr. Xia has already found a good cook, it would be great, and my son-in-law will be happy for Mr. Xia, and he will never have any other thoughts. ”

Saying that, he stood up: "If Xia Gongzi has no other instructions, then the villain will leave first." With a bow, he was about to leave.

"Wait, butler." Xia Jin hurriedly said, "I just need to buy a cook, and your son-in-law told me the news, which can be regarded as a great help." I went out for a walk just now, and I realized that no one else sells his body to the chef. I was having a headache about this, so you came here in the snow. As she spoke, she personally poured a cup of tea for Butler Yu.

Although I don't know what the two sons are making this awkward about, what they say is cloudy and foggy, but Xia Jin can receive Luo Qian's affection, and Steward Yu is still very happy. Seeing that she was going to pour tea for herself herself, the housekeeper Yu hurriedly said, "No, no, I'll just come by myself." He took the teacup and thanked him vigorously.

Since this period of time, Steward Yu has long been no longer the mentality he had when he faced Xia Jin when he was in Renhetang. He already regarded Xia Jin as a person of the same status as the master of his family.

The two sat down again, and Xia Jin asked the housekeeper for advice: "When will the cooks of those two families be sold?" What should I do to buy them? ”

"Xia Gongzi doesn't have to worry about this, he just needs to give Dong Yan a dozen taels of silver, and let him go to the provincial capital with me tomorrow."

Xia Jin knew the status of the housekeeper in Luo's mansion, he was the first person to be used in front of Mrs. Luo and Luo Qian, and he usually had a lot of things to do, not to mention that the Luo Mansion was going to hold a banquet on the day, and the housekeeper was inseparable from it at all. Now that he said such a thing, it was obviously Luo Qian's special order.

But this matter really can't be done without the guidance of the housekeeper.

"Then you will be tired of the housekeeper." She said gratefully, "But this matter is not in a hurry, there is a banquet in your house tomorrow, you are busy, and it is not too late to go back when you are free." ”

Steward Yu shook his head: "This thing really has to be done tomorrow." When they were late, they either returned to their hometowns on their own or found their next home. This is also the reason why my son-in-law is in a hurry to let the villain tell you. ”

Xia Jin was even more grateful. She took out a silver ingot from her sleeve and handed it to Steward Yu: "I won't say anything about thanks." Tomorrow, when the expenses are settled, I will let Dong Yan take charge. Thank you for your hard work, you can take this little bit of heart. ”

Butler Yu waved his hand again and again: "Master Xia, if you are good for the villain, hurry up and take back the silver." My son-in-law said that if I dare to give you a penny as a thank-you gift, I don't have to go back to Luofu. Childe, you are benevolent, you won't watch the villain being kicked out by Childe, right? ”

Xia Jin had no choice but to take the silver back. The two agreed on the relevant matters for tomorrow, and Yu Butler said goodbye and left.

Looking at the back of the housekeeper, Xia Jin's heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

After the death of her parents in her previous life, she wandered alone in a foreign land, speaking English that she was not proficient in, dealing with her parents' funeral, selling the inheritance left by her parents, entering the devil's training camp, and then killing the enemy to avenge her parents, evading the pursuit of the police and fleeing everywhere, she was forever alone. She has a deep hatred in her heart, she carries the heavy responsibility of revenge on her shoulders, and she is very tired and tired in the face of life and death every day, but there is no one to share anything for her, and there is no arm to rely on her.

In this life, she was reborn as a fourteen-year-old ancient girl, and she still did not enjoy the ready-made peace and happiness like other women, hiding under the wings of her parents. She had to work hard to plan for the separation, she had to find ways to make money, she had to worry about her father's hospital, and she had to plan for her brother's future......

She is also a woman, and she also hopes to have a strong arm to shelter her from the wind and rain, and a warm harbor for her to rest.

Therefore, at the beginning, Luo Qian asked her to hand over Luo Yu's affairs to him, so that she didn't have to worry about it, and now she sent the housekeeper over to help her get through the difficulties, she was really moved in gratitude.

Her heart has never been so unsettled. A strange warm feeling rose from the bottom of her heart and slowly diffused.

"Childe, shall we go back to the courtyard?" Dong Fang saw that Xia Jin hadn't moved for a long time, and couldn't help but ask.

Xia Jin retracted his gaze and shook his head: "No, we still have to go out." As he spoke, he lifted his feet and walked out.

Seeing this, Dong Fang had to follow again.

Not long after, Xia Jin and Dong Fang appeared in Zhiwei Zhai, Xia Jin talked with Dong Yan for a while, gave him some silver taels, and then took Dong Fang home.

After returning home, Xia Jin looked for clothes and jewelry, and sent Mint to inform Xia Qi that she was going to Luofu with Xia Qi for a banquet in the afternoon.

Xia Qiyuan heard his sister say that he would not go to the banquet, and he hesitated, planning not to go himself. At this time, he was very happy to hear that Xia Jin had changed his mind, and he went to Qingzhi Pavilion to confirm it in person, and then went back to study seriously.

After eating lunch and resting for a while, Xia Jin got up and began to prepare. In fact, she doesn't wear makeup, just combs her hair and changes her clothes to set off, and she can do it in a few minutes, without any preparation at all. Helplessly, Shu Shi stared at her tightly, and patted her a long time ago, and nagged that Xia Jin's dress was too plain, how could there be more than a dozen girls who wore plain clothes every day, which was unlucky. picked out a pomegranate red shirt and insisted that Xia Jin change it.

Xia Jin had a headache when he saw this color: "Mother, Miss Cen likes red, if I also wear red, wouldn't it be red?" Others are going to gossip when they see it. ”

"That's just as well." Shu Shi thought about it and changed into a violet one, "Then wear this one." ”

Xia Jin glanced at it and nodded in agreement: "Okay." Then look at the drip, "I'll change it in a quarter of an hour, it's early." ”

"No, change it now." Shu's did not follow.

Xia Jin had to change his clothes.

"Sit down, I'll help you comb your hair." Shu Shi simply took matters into his own hands. After combing his hair, he inserted several pearls on Xia Jin's head.

Xia Jin didn't bother to argue with her, so he made up his mind, and when he got into the carriage, he took off a few of the jewelry on his head.

As soon as it was packed, Poria came in and said, "Miss Cen is here in a carriage, urging you to go out quickly and go to Luofu together." ”

Xia Jin shrugged: Well, she didn't plan to go. With Cen Ziman here, she can't do it if she doesn't want to.

sent someone to inform Xia Qi, and Xia Jin went out first.

"Miss Xia." Next to the carriage at the door, leading a white horse was Su Muxian, who was tall and jade. Su Muxian is wearing a moon-white embroidered gold thread moire robe today, wearing a beaded crown on his head, which is completely different from what Xia Jin wore when he first met him and Taoxi, and he is really the noble prince of Houfu from the capital.

In front of people, Xia Jin didn't like to tease Su Muxian, politely said hello, and got into Cen Ziman's carriage. (To be continued)
