The other side.

Chen Anning returned to the Autumn Courtyard, packed up all the gold, silver and jewelry given to her by Lu Wenjun and others, as well as the things she bought from shopping today, and followed her to Washington in a carriage.

On the road.

Chen Anning stretched out his hand to Xie Xun, who was riding next to the carriage, and said, "Five thousand taels of silver." ”

Xie Xun glanced at her hand, "What five thousand taels?" ”

"Acting fees." Chen Anning said calmly, "One thousand taels is for Taishoufu, and four thousand taels is for Washington." ”

Xie Xun decisively refused: "No." ”

"Are you sure you haven't?" Chen Anning glanced at him, smiling rather than smiling.

Xie Xun said: "Sure no." ”

Chen Anning withdrew his hand: "When you get to Washington in a while, then you can watch it yourself." ”

Xie Xun stared at her, half joking and half serious: "Does Miss Chen Er want to consider taking me?" I have a share of the family property of Guangling Palace, and I am now a Dali Siqing, with a bright future. Take me, and you'll get far more than five thousand taels. ”

Chen Anning looked at him twice, "Lord Xie, have you forgotten, after taking you, I can indeed get far more than five thousand taels, but the trouble you brought me is far more than five thousand taels." ”

"The risks and benefits are always equal." Xie Xunyou said, "Besides, even without me, you won't be in trouble." ”

"It's just because I have a lot of trouble, so I don't want to add more trouble." Chen Anning retorted.

"But have you ever thought about it," Xie Xun patiently reasoned, "I can also prevent you from a lot of trouble." ”

Chen Anning looked at him for a long time, and then teased: "Is Master Xie confessing to me?" ”

Finally see it? Xie Xun nodded with satisfaction: "You can think so." ”

Chen Anning sighed twice, "Has Lord Xie never been in love?" ”

Xie Xun asked, "What do you say?" ”

"When I was in the Taishou Mansion just now, what did Miss Hua Da and Miss Hua San do to me, Lord Xie also saw it." Chen Anning mocked, "When I get to Washington for a while, I can guess what they or the people in Washington will do to me." Lord Xie chose to confess to me at such a time, did he really love me, or did he want to use me to deal with the upcoming trouble? ”

Xie Xun laughed twice, "I see that when you deal with them, aren't you quite happy?" ”

"Of course I'm enjoying it," Chen Anning said casually when he saw the excitement, "After all, it's rare to see such a lively 'cousin and cousin, born as a couple'." ”

Xie Xun: ...... He shouldn't be talkative.

"Miss Hua looks good," Chen Anning arched the fire, "Lord Xie really doesn't think about it?" ”

Xie Xun snorted: "Chen Anning! ”

Chen Anning raised his eyebrows, allowing him to speak directly.

Xie Xun hooked the corners of his mouth, "My mother is already preparing for the wedding." ”

Chen Anning squinted at him, "So? ”

Xie Xun teased, "You said that in five years, will we already hold each other?" ”

Chen Anning smiled: "I don't know if I can hug the two of you, I only know that Lord Xie's skeleton should be quite collectible." ”

"My father said that the family property of the Guangling Mansion will be divided equally between the three of us brothers in the future." Xie Xun said casually, "According to my father's estimate, it will definitely not be a problem to buy half of the capital after the family property is divided equally." ”

Chen Anning teased: "Lord Xie is planning to use this equally divided family property to smash me?" ”

Xie Xun looked at her eyes that brightened up in an instant, and teased: "Second Miss Chen said, let me not smash it, right?" ”

Chen Anning sighed: "Five million taels is less." ”

Xie Xun nodded: "That's quite little, but there is still a chance to make up for it, it depends on whether you are willing to seize it." ”

Chen Anning laughed out loud, "Lord Xie is really moved?" ”

"In ancient times, King Zhou You lit the princes of the beacon fire, just to win a smile." Xie Xun said, "Today, I have scattered all my family wealth, just to get Miss Chen Er's sincerity, I don't know if Miss Chen Er will give me a chance?" ”

Chen Anning tilted his head and looked at him, "Are you playing really?" ”

Xie Xun also looked at her, his eyes burning: "I never tell lies." ”

Chen Anning looked at him for a moment before quietly looking away, "Why?" ”

"Like is like," Xie Xun said: "Where are there so many why?" ”

Chen Anning looked at him again, "Your liking is most likely just because I am from the same place as you." ”

"Chen Anning," Xie Xun smiled, "Are you belittling me, or are you belittling yourself?" ”

"It's just that the system is backward here."

"It doesn't mean that they are stupider and dumber than people in modern society."

"There are as many good people here as there are men and women here as there are in modern society."

"So what?" Chen Anning interrupted him disapprerovingly, "I admit that there are many excellent people here, but you also said that the system here is backward. The backwardness of the system means that their thinking will be limited to a certain extent. ”

"You value me more, not because I am better than them, but because I have received the same education as you, and my mind has not been corrupted by these backward systems."

"In other words, you don't value me, but your own kind, which is not corrupted by the backward system."

"The same kind?" Xie Xun muttered in a low voice, and a trace of frustration crossed his eyes.

Chen Anning affirmed: "Yes, the same kind." ”

"Okay, kind." Xie Xun said lightly, "You convinced me." ”

Chen Anning nodded and praised: "Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, and kindness is great." ”

Xie Xun beat the horse and left.

Chen Anning looked at his arrogant back and hooked the corners of his mouth slightly.

In fact, she was not as indifferent as he thought.

In real life, there are many people who pursue her.

But as soon as she heard about her profession, she was basically scared away.

Among her peers, there are many people who have pursued her.

It's just that everyone is busy, even if they work in the same unit, they can't see each other all the time.

The good feeling can't get timely feedback, and after a long time, no matter how strong the feelings are, they gradually fade.

So, she really hasn't been in a relationship.

I don't know how to fall in love.

Another one, the people who do their business, the most dissected are the corpses of love killing.

Accustomed to seeing these, it can be said that there is basically no expectation of feelings.

Therefore, Xie Xun suddenly confessed...... Her first thought, of course, was that he had ulterior motives.

Thoughts are mixed.

Washington has also arrived.

Before setting off from Taishou Mansion, Hua Jin sent someone back in advance to report.

Therefore, as soon as the carriage stopped, it was surrounded by mothers-in-law and maidservants.

"Mother!" Hua Rong was the first to get out of the carriage.

Passing through the mother-in-law and the maidservant, he walked quickly to the noble woman standing on the periphery, and immediately hugged her arm and invited the merit, "We brought the third cousin!" ”

The noble lady, that is, Mrs. Hua, nodded and looked at Xie Xun, who was riding on a horse and guarding the carriage behind.

I haven't seen him for half a year, and his size seems to have grown a little longer.

The appearance and bearing are also more and more handsome.

It's just that the eyebrows and eyes seem to be colder.

Hua Jin followed Hua Rong and got out of the carriage.

After calling Mrs. Hua 'mother', her eyes also fell on Xie Xun.

Xie Xun calmly turned over and dismounted, waited for Chen Anning to get out of the carriage, and then walked to Mrs. Hua with her, and saluted: "Uncle." ”

Chen Anning followed and saluted: "Mrs. Hua." ”

After Mrs. Hua said 'hard work' to Xie Xun gently, she turned her eyes to Chen Anning.

The maidservant who came back first to report said that she was rude.

But looking at her face facing the sky at the moment, but her appearance and bearing that still do not lose half of the color are obviously very different from what the maidservant said.

Is it pretended?

Or were Hua Jin and Hua Rong deceived by her?

Mrs. Hua smiled kindly quietly, took her hand and said, "I'm tired of letting you come over so late, right?" ”
