Chapter 104: Care
Chapter 104: Care
Ning Xian's expression was stiff, and his mouth was still in the posture of holding the reed pipe, looking at Shen Lexi in a daze, looking inexplicably happy.
is much more vivid and cute than Ning Xian, who is obviously in his youth and has an iceberg face all the time, is this what a young man should look like.
Shen Lexi said in his heart.
She laughed to herself for a while, then suddenly retracted her expression and said solemnly: "Really, thank you very much, but not thank you for defending me in front of people - because I know that the reason why you did that was just to put on a show and act for everyone to see." I want to thank you for the warmth you brought me in that moment. β
I've got to protect you.
No one ever said to her, I have to protect you.
It's strange to say that she has played so many roles, but none of them have been loved deeply, either they can't love it, or they don't love it, rolling in the cauldron of fate, being fried, being fried, and being fried...... In the end, dragging a shriveled body that was boiled together, he ended his life in the form of tragedy.
Miss Shen is like that.
That's the way she plays the roles.
Even she herself is like this, so when Ning Xian said I have to protect you, Shen Lexi felt that at that moment, what darkness, coldness, and conspiracy...... All the negative words that represented pessimism have receded, and all that envelops her is sunshine.
and the warmth of being wrapped in the sun.
At that moment, she even had a bold and crazy thought: simply don't run away, and follow Ning Xian to live her life in a down-to-earth manner.
It wasn't until Ning Yuanyao's hateful gaze and Old Madam Ning's sharp gaze that she suddenly woke up from her dream-
Ning Xian is good Ning Xian, but Ning Xian is not just Ning Xian.
He is the son of the Duke of Dingguo, the person who will inherit the Duke of Guofu in the future, and the three wives and four concubines of the harem will be opened in the future-
Big male lead.
So she still had to escape.
Alas~
Shen Lexi was still thinking to herself, but she didn't notice that Ning Xian's eyes were getting more and more strange when she looked at her.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching several times.
At this time, in Ning Xian's mind, the cold and emotionless voice of customer service 0935 was constantly ringing-
[HP +1]
[HP +1]
[HP +1]
β¦β¦
[Congratulations to the host, this time you have gained a total of 9 HP]
Ning Xian: ......
So, this woman, in front of him, secretly thought about him nine times in her heart??
Ning Xian opened his mouth and bit the reed pipe and sucked hard.
Customer service 0935's voice continues to soundββ
[Because of the maintenance of the host, the task object who has lacked love since childhood has produced a beautiful touch in the world, therefore, the system rewards the host with three chances to open the lucky wheel, may I ask the host to open it now, or continue to accumulate? γ
Ning Xian didn't hesitate: continue to accumulate.
He has now amassed seven chances to open the Wheel of Fortune.
But what was this woman's life like before, even if he knew that he didn't protect her out of sincerity just now, he could still be moved like that.
This woman is really ...... It's so easy to be moved.
The two faced each other, each thinking about their own thoughts, until the cold wind broke through the door, and the two people who were immersed in their respective worlds suddenly woke up.
Ning Xian was the first to speak: "You prepare, and in two days you will go with me to set up a shed on the street to give porridge." β
Every year on the first lunar month, Kyoto's wealthy families take turns to go to the streets to set up tents to give porridge and soup kitchens, and it lasts until the end of the new year.
This has been an unwritten rule for many years.
In two days, it will be the turn of the Dingguo Mansion.
As the prince of Dingguo, this matter is understandably on Ning Xian's head, and Shen Lexi, who is the princess of Dingguo, naturally has to accompany him.
Shen Lexi shook his head and said, "Oh, okay, I know." Seeing that Ning Xian didn't mean to leave, he asked again, "What's wrong?" Are there any other precautions? β
"Hmm." Ning Xian looked at her, "You...... Be careful and stay safe. β
Shen Lexi was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Ning Xian was caring about her, so his heart warmed, and he nodded and said solemnly: "Well, I will." β
At that time, there will be a mixture of fish and dragons, and there will be all kinds of people, and there is no guarantee that there will be no one mixed with the victims to secretly poison her.
For example, Ning Yuanyao.
This woman probably hates her to death by now.
Wang said that she was estimating that she was trapping Ning Yuanyao, but in fact, this was not the case, her real purpose was to show her strength and let Mrs. Ning know that she Shen Lexi did not only play the role of Ning Xian as a furnace.
She will also earn money.
As long as the goal is achieved, she doesn't have to Tianxianglou, but Ning Yuanyao has to rush to stuff Tianxianglou into her arms, what can she do?
After all, even Old Madam Ning said that if she didn't take Tianxianglou, it would be to roast Ning Yuanyao on the fire rack that was untrustworthy.
I have no choice but to accept Tianxianglou, which sounds like it is cheap and good...... Well, she actually got cheap and sold well.
Because Tianxianglou will be her starting point.
In the afternoon, Shen Lexi went to Tianxiang Building.
After yesterday's day of publicity, coupled with the membership card effect, and the word of mouth among the guests, Tianxianglou's business today has not declined because of today's festival.
On the contrary, business is better than yesterday, and now most of the people in the noble circle of Kyoto know that Tianxianglou has launched a fresh food called Xiaoyao Zi Pot.
The prices are affordable, the service is excellent, there are free and delicious snacks on offer, and you can also hear the Legend of the White Lady.
Like the free pot, the legend of Xu Xian and the White Lady also spread overnight in the noble circle of Kyoto.
Shen Lexi looked up at the sky.
At this time, it was already past lunch, and there was still an hour or two before dinner, and there were basically no customers in the restaurant at this time.
However, today the restaurant is full-
Truly packed.
Not only were the tables full of guests, but even the dozen or so benches in the waiting area were full of people listening to stories and waiting for dinner.
Some people don't have a place to sit and would rather stand and wait than leave.
Shen Lexi saw that Zhou Yu's busy feet didn't touch the ground, so he didn't go in to disturb him, only slipped a few glances at the door of the restaurant, and then walked away.
At the beginning, knowing that Zhou Yu was loyal to the old lady, Shen Lexi dared to use him, let alone Zhou Yu who is now loyal to her?
There is no suspicion in employing people, and there is no need for suspicious people.
This is her employment principle.
With Zhou Yu here, Tianxianglou doesn't have to worry about her.
Now it's time to worry about chestnuts and them.
Shen Lexi took the red hearts, called a carriage, and went straight to Beicheng District.
Kyoto's northern district resembles a slum, which houses almost half of Kyoto's poor.
Chestnuts are pressed right there in their new home.
As Shen Lexi passed through several bustling and lively streets in succession, the houses on both sides of the road became lower and more dilapidated, until the tall red brick and blue tile houses disappeared, and the road became narrower and more muddy.
The carriage couldn't go any further.
Shen Lexi simply pulled the red heart to get out of the car and walk.
After about half a pillar of incense, Shen Lexi finally found a large area of low earthy yellow mud houses that Chestnut said.
Last time, Chestnut told Shen Lexi that their new home was in Beicheng District, where there was a large area of earthy yellow mud houses.
I think this should be the place.
However, Shen Lexi did not know which family it was.
A woman happened to pass by with a bowl in her hand, and Shen Lexi hurriedly asked, "This aunt, do you know where the chestnut family lives?" The chestnut was just moved ...... other day."
But before she could finish speaking, the woman pointed in one direction and said, "Do you see the crooked-necked date tree in front of you?" The chestnut kids live there! β
After saying that, he hurriedly ran away.
Shen Lexi was wondering what this woman was doing in such a hurry, but she saw that the doors of each family were open at this moment, and everyone came out of the low mud house, either carrying a bowl or a water scoop, and they all ran in one direction.
