Chapter 17: You're the Big Sister!
No more words along the way.
The black carriage slowly drove through Changting Street, the most lively street in Baima Town, and then turned around the Wuyi Alley, where books were written, and finally came to a quiet and exclusive courtyard in the west of the town.
With a bright smile in her eyes, Shui'er poked her head into the carriage and called softly, "Miss, it's here." β
Tam Dali held the reins in one hand and opened the curtain with the other, his face full of respect.
As for Xia Sheng, although he looks calm and breezy on the surface, he is actually nervous deep down.
Rao is his ninth life, after 10,000 years of ups and downs, but what he needs to face at this moment is his life's event after all, and it is a lie to say that he doesn't care at all.
Before today, he only knew that his fiancΓ©e was called Ye Xiao'e, and he didn't know what the other party looked like, whether it was tender like water or cold like ice, whether he liked to eat red rice cakes or lion's head.
This was the first time that Xia Sheng had put his fate in the hands of someone else, even if that person was his father.
In Xia Sheng's anxiousness, a pair of slender jade hands took the lead in poking out of the carriage, and a timid little face appeared, and immediately blushed his cheeks after meeting Xia Sheng's eyes, with panic in his eyes, and kept begging Shui'er for help.
In contrast, Shui Er was very generous, she helped Ye Xiao'e to get out of the car with a smile, and then led her young lady to Xia Hong.
"Miss, this is Uncle Xia. β
Ye Xiao'e lowered her head a little at a loss, bowed to Xia Hongfu shallowly, and said in a low voice: "Xiao'e has seen Uncle Xia. β
Xia Hong looked at Ye Xiao'e's daughter's shyness, and couldn't help laughing: "Haha, okay, Xiao'e is really getting more and more beautiful as she grows! Okay, don't be polite here, let's go first." β
Xia Sheng stood by and watched this scene, unable to say whether he was happy or disappointed.
Although it was only the first time to meet Ye Xiao'e, judging from the words and deeds of the other party, it was indeed quite gentle and gentle, not only did the eldest lady have a temper, but also had a kind of youth that was not deeply involved in the world.
If you marry such a girl, it is indeed an acceptable choice.
Of course, all this is just Xia Sheng's personal intuition, as for what kind of person the other party is, whether it is really as simple as it shows when he is like this, or whether it hides a deep city government and scheming, it will take a lot of time to get along in the future to know.
But in any case, in Xia Sheng's critical eyes, it is not easy for Ye Xiao'e to get a passing score in his first impression.
Although tonight was said to be to wash the dust for the guests who came from afar, in fact, the dinner prepared by Xia Hong was more like a family banquet.
Although he was a guest from afar, he did not serve the table, but ran to the backyard to feed the horses first, anyway, he remembered clearly, the young lady personally promised to add vegetables to himself later.
As a result, there are only four people at the dinner table.
Shui Er didn't have the consciousness of being a maid at all, and the first one ran to the seat and sat down, staring at the table full of delicacies and drooling.
Although Xia Hong frowned in his heart, since Ye Xiao'e didn't say anything, he naturally wouldn't show this dissatisfaction on his face, but just smiled: "If you want to come all the way, you're also hungry, eat first, eat first." β
Ye Xiao'e sat beside Xia Hong obediently, but her eyes glanced at the water she was gobbling up from time to time, and her face was full of panic.
"Xiao'e, come, Uncle Xia will introduce you, this is Xiao'er Xia Sheng, you haven't met since you were young, take advantage of this opportunity, but you have to be closer and closer. β
When Ye Xiao'e heard this, she immediately bowed her head slightly to Xia Sheng and said, "Young Master Xia." β
Xia Sheng looked at Ye Xiao'e's blushing ears, and smiled kindly: "It's all a family, you don't have to be so angry, just call me Ah Sheng." β
Shui'er on the side was holding a big chicken leg in his hand, gnawing on his mouth full of oil, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes fiercely, and muttered to himself: "Who is a family with you, stinky rascal!"
Of course, Ye Xiao'e didn't know what Shui'er was thinking, at this time, in Xia Hong's eager gaze, she could only bite her lip gently, her cheeks were so red that they seemed to be dripping water, and she quietly called: "Brother Asheng." β
When the words fell, Xia Hong laughed heartily, and said with a loving face: "Okay, okay, let's talk while eating, you just arrived today, rest first, and let Ah Sheng take you around tomorrow, if you are tired of playing in the town, you can also go to see Giethoorn Lake, which is not far from the town, it is the most famous landscape we have here......"
Ye Xiao'e lowered her head and drank the soup, and responded softly from time to time, this meal can be regarded as a happy meal.
However, Xia Sheng was a little absent-mindedly holding the dishes, but he was thinking in his heart, how could he take advantage of Mr. Kang's absence in the past few days to sneak away to the back mountain.
Of course, it's impossible to take Ye Xiao'e with you, but if you don't bring it, how can you explain it to your father?
For a while, Xia Sheng felt an incomparably headache, and he finally drove away Kang Wuwei's old fox, but there was an even more tricky fiancΓ©e.
I don't want people to practice well!
Xia Sheng's mind fell on Shui'er's eyes, and she immediately had a different interpretation, she turned her head, raised the sauce elbow in her hand in front of Xia Sheng and shook it.
"Stinky rascal, what bad idea are you fighting!"
Xia Sheng's face was full of innocence, and he smiled bitterly: "I'm just thinking, in addition to White Horse Town, there are other interesting places around here that can take you to play." β
Shui'er took a bite of the sauce elbow with a scrutinizing gaze, and said vaguely: "Well, I can warn you, before you officially get married, don't think anything wrong about our young lady, otherwise, otherwise, I will let Dali throw you into the pit!"
Hearing this, Xia Sheng's ribs that had already been delivered to his mouth suddenly stopped, and he said helplessly: "Eldest sister, you're eating here, can you stop for a while." β
Shui'er's eyes immediately widened, and she puffed out her cheeks and said, "Who do you call the eldest sister, who do you call the eldest sister! You are the eldest sister, and your whole family is the eldest sister!"
Shui'er's fierce reaction immediately attracted the attention of Xia Hong and Ye Xiao'e.
Ye Xiao'e immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks, and asked a little restlessly, "Xiao...... Shui'er, what's wrong?"
Shui Er's face was full of grievances, one hand pointed at Xia Sheng, and she complained with tears in her eyes: "Miss, this bad guy, he, he, he took advantage of me!"
When the words fell, everyone present was dumbfounded.
Xia Sheng looked at this scene dumbfounded, 10,000 demon camel beasts rushed by in his heart, and hurriedly explained: "No, it's not like this, Miss Shui'er, you have to make it clear, how can I take advantage of you!"
However, at this time, Shui Er was completely immersed in endless grief, where could he still hear what Xia Sheng was saying, and stood up from his position at the moment, and ran away in tears.
Seeing this, Ye Xiao'e also hurriedly said goodbye to Xia Hong: "Uncle Xia, I'm really sorry, Shui'er is not sensible, and he may have a relationship with Xia...... There was a misunderstanding with Brother Asheng, so I'll take a look. β
Xia Sheng stood in place dumbfounded, from this moment on, he finally understood the most important truth in this world.
That is, never offend a woman because of her age.
Especially a woman who is so careful......
But at this moment, he couldn't care so much, because immediately after, a thunderous roar exploded in the air.
"Ah Sheng!"
Xia Sheng's heart trembled, and he subconsciously covered his ears with one hand and his ass with the other, and ran away......
