Chapter 133: Heart-to-Heart Talk
When Xia Jin returned home, it was already noon, and Xia Qi had already returned from Mr. Cui.
The hospital does not rest at noon, and Xia Zhengqian and Xing Qingsheng will take turns to eat and rest in the hut next to them, so only Shu and the Xia family brothers and sisters eat in the backyard.
"How do you feel about getting Mr. Cui's advice?" Shu handed the soup bowl to his son, and by the way, he cared about his son's studies.
As soon as he said this, Xia Qi couldn't suppress his excitement: "Mother, you don't know, Mr. Cui is too powerful." I used to write articles, and although I had something in my head, I didn't know how to write it. Now that I have been pulled out by Mr. Cui, I suddenly have a feeling that my mouth is suddenly open, and I don't feel difficult to write anymore. Today, Mr. Cui also praised me, saying that the article I wrote is good. β
"That's good, that's good." Shu Shi was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and at the same time sighed, "I have to thank Mr. Luo for this." If it weren't for his introduction, you wouldn't have known Mr. Cui. We can't forget our roots, if you successfully pass the children's exam, you have to thank Luo Gongzi. β
"I will, mother." Xia Qi agreed, but raised his head and winked at Xia Jin.
Xia Jin glanced at him, scooped a spoonful of soup and drank it slowly, without any expression on his face.
After eating, Xia Jin rested for a while, and estimated that it was already before the afternoon, and it was past the time for people to rest for lunch, so she put on men's clothes and took Dong Fang out.
Dong Fang couldn't help but feel strange when he saw that there was no carriage in front of the door, and asked, "Girl, didn't you ask someone to prepare a carriage?" Do you want a slave to call Uncle Lu? β
"No, you don't." Xia Jin didn't look back, and went straight to the east.
After a cup of tea, the two stood in front of the door of Luofu.
Dong Fang, at Xia Jin's suggestion, stepped forward to talk to the subordinates guarding the door: "This eldest brother, my young master's surname is Xia. I am friends with the third prince of your house. I don't know if Luo Sangongzi can be at home? Trouble big brother to help me out. β
Luo Qian was treated by Xia Gongzi and befriended Xia Gongzi, and everyone in Luo's Mansion knew about it. When the gatekeeper saw Xia Jin standing at the door, he didn't dare to slack off, he welcomed her into the gatehouse first, served tea and asked her to wait, and then quickly went to inform Luo Qian.
"You mean. Xia Gongzi asks to see? Luo Qian was reading in the study. When I heard the report, my heart jumped, and I almost knocked over the teacup in my hand.
"Exactly."
"The little guy who followed him. Is it medium-sized, fair-skinned, with large eyes, or is it tall, thin and dark-skinned? β
Although the gatekeeper was very curious why Luo Qian asked this, he still answered honestly: "It's medium height." The skin is very white. β
"Hurry up and ask her in." Luo Qian became excited.
Since he knew that Xia Jin was pretending to be Xia Qi, he had carefully observed the difference between the two. As a result, he found. Except for the difference in hands, there is no difference in the appearance, voice, movement, and even walking posture between the two. And when Xia Jin resumed women's clothing. Her appearance is only seven or eight points similar to Xia Qi, and her voice and demeanor are completely different.
This not only surprised him, but also deeply shocked and impressed by Xia Jin's ability.
Except for the hands, though. He also found a difference, that is, the two of them brought different little guys. When Xia Jin dressed as Xia Qi. With him, he was a little guy named "Dong Fang".
Seeing the gatekeeper go out, he couldn't stay in the study anymore, walked out, and ordered Le Shui: "You go and greet Xia Gongzi." Also known as Leshan, "prepare snacks and tea." β
When Leshui and Leshan both responded, Luo Qian couldn't stay in the study, got up and paced back and forth in the courtyard.
At this time, Luo Qian stayed in the study room in the outer courtyard, which was the place where he read books and received male guests, very close to the door. After a while, Xia Jin followed Le Shui into the courtyard gate.
"Brother Luo." She raised her hand and arched, and naturally greeted Luo Qian.
Luo Qian's face was also impassive at all, and he smiled and said, "Why is Brother Qi free to come over today?" Didn't you go to Mr. Cui's in the morning? How is it, how do you feel about the gain after getting the advice? As he spoke, he made a "please" gesture.
"Mr. Cui is worthy of being a great Confucian, and he has the ability to turn decay into magic. I'm such a stupid person, and when he points out, I feel like I'm struggling. I used to write the pen, but now it's much better. Xia Jin copied what Xia Qi said to Shu Shi at noon.
"My mother also said, let me thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to ask Mr. Cui for teaching. Xia Jin said, stood up and gave Luo Qian a look.
Luo Qian hurriedly stood up and saluted back: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." If it weren't for Brother Qi's good academic character, Mr. Cui wouldn't let you in. In the final analysis, it's still Brother Qi's own ability. β
The two sat down again, and at this time, Leshan brought up snacks and tea. Luo Qian waved his hand: "You all go down." β
Leshan and Leshui agreed and retreated.
"Dong Fang, you go down too." Xia Jin saw that Dong Fang was still standing there, and hurriedly said.
When Dong Fang also retreated, and only Luo Qian and Xia Jin were left in the room, the two people who were talking and talking extremely hot just now suddenly fell silent.
Xia Jin organized his words and said, "I came today to apologize to Brother Luo. β
Luo Qian's heart moved, raised his eyes, and looked at Xia Jin.
Xia Jin didn't look at him, and continued: "That day in Taoxi, Miss Cen heard that Zhiwei Zhai was opened by us together, so she shouted that she wanted to open a restaurant with me. You also know that I was wearing women's clothes that day, and my identity was Xia Jin instead of Xia Qi, and Miss Cen was like that, she said that she opened a restaurant together, and I couldn't refuse, so I agreed. β
"It's okay." Luo Qian said in a low voice, "There is no rule, you can only partner with me, not with others." β
"Either way, there's always a suspicion of betrayal. I wanted to explain this to you, but I didn't get a chance for the past two days. Xia Jin said sincerely.
Xia Jin put aside Luo Qian and opened a restaurant with Cen Ziman, Luo Qian was naturally uncomfortable. Whoever thinks about this matter has the idea that Xia Jin will kick Luo Qian when he climbs the high branch. What's more, this happened after Luo Qian confessed to Xia Jin, and he couldn't help but think about it too much.
Now Xia Jin specially came over to explain to him, Luo Qian's feelings are different. He felt that Xia Jin was frank and open, but he lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
Originally, Zhiwei Zhai was a pastry shop jointly opened by Xia Qi and Luo Qian, and it was a matter between two men. When Cen Ziman asked Xia Jin to open a restaurant, Xia Jin couldn't say that because my brother and Luo Gongzi opened a pastry shop, I couldn't open a restaurant with you, right? Is this logical?
He raised his eyes to look at Xia Jin, and the feelings that had been forcibly suppressed surged up again, stirring in his heart.
When Xia Jin was still Xia Qi in his eyes, he felt that this person was not a thing in the pool, he was clever in medical treatment at a young age, brave and strategic, and his words and deeds were also extremely good, which he admired very much. When he knew that she was a woman disguised as a man, his heart was no less impressed than an eight-magnitude earthquake.
There are no sisters in his family, but he participates in large and small banquets in Linjiang City every year. Even if there is a difference between men and women, it is inevitable that there will always be a meeting with the girls at the banquet. One and two come and go, how everyone's temperament is, what kind of character, can always understand one or two.
In his impression, those women didn't know anything but what kind of clothes and jewelry were beautiful. If you can recognize a few words, play the piano, and draw two strokes, you can be considered a talented woman. But those things, in his opinion, were of no use except to please others.
But Xia Jin's appearance completely subverted his impression of women.
In order not to be used as a tool for Chongxi, she disguised herself as a man and entered Luofu and rescued him from the hands of Hades, and this courage is a little stronger than that of men; She is very smart, and she separated the three rooms of the Xia family from the Xia Mansion with one plan, and did not let Xia Zhengqian and Xia Qi's reputation be affected at all; Her idea of engraving the collection of scientific research not only increased his weight in his father's heart, but also made his father Luo Weitao appreciated by Shangguan; She can make delicious dim sum, knows all kinds of strange sales methods, and can casually open a dim sum shop with a monthly income of 100 taels of silver......
Everything about her is not only better than all the women he knows, but there are few sons of powerful families in Linjiang City who are better than her.
Her indifferent temperament and frank style also made him deeply like.
Before he knew it, he was moved.
He is convinced that if he can have a wife like Xia Jin to assist, he will definitely be able to go far in his career in this life.
"You...... Why don't you want to be my wife? He finally asked this sentence.
If he doesn't ask to understand, he can't sleep.
Xia Jin came here and thought that Luo Qian would ask her this question. She also felt that it was better for the two of them to talk out than to be silent and stuffy in their hearts. Luo Qian, a friend, she doesn't want to lose.
She said, "Your mother has only one son, and she wants you to marry a woman who is a good match." Marriage is never a matter between two people. Rather than making things go up, hurting each other, and ending badly, it's better not to let it happen in the first place. β
"You refused, not because of me, but simply because of my mother?" Luo Qian's eyes sparkled.
"I didn't want to get married so early." Xia Jin lowered his eyelids and lowered his voice.
Maybe it's because she wasn't moved, so she was very objective and calm when she said this, and she didn't feel uncomfortable at all. But her current identity is an ancient girl, not a modern killer, and she always has to show the normal attitude of a woman of this age in this era.
"I'm not in a hurry." Luo Qian's voice unconsciously became louder, and Xia Jin's words gave him hope, "I will convince my mother." Youβcan you ......?"
Before he could speak, Xia Jin shook his head: "I don't want people to scold me for being shameless, climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix." β
Luo Qian's eyes gradually dimmed. But he didn't give up after all, and asked in a low voice: "I'll ask you, if my mother agrees, are you willing to marry me?" (To be continued)
