Across the Market

Chapter 125

Zhu Fu instinctively felt that Mr. Xie was much more difficult to get along with than his younger brother, but there was no way. For Fuji's business, she walked to the door with a smile on her face, and warmly invited: "Mr. Xie, come in quickly, outside It’s snowing heavily, don’t catch a cold.”

This man is the oldest of the grandchildren of Duke Jing's mansion. His single name is a common character, from Yuan Zhan.

Xie Tong lightly nodded at Zhu Fu's face, then tied the horse to the thick-necked tree, and walked in.

With a steady pace, anyone with a discerning eye will know that he is also a practitioner.

Xie Yi pointed to Shen Yulou and said, "Brother, this is Shen Yulou, a great talent in Jinling Academy that I often tell you, he is only a little bit worse than me." He coughed cheekily, then pointed at Zhu Fu, raised his head and said, "This is the sister of the brat who always said that I would grab food with you, but she is really good at cooking, let him cook a meal for my brother later."

Xie Tong nodded lightly, as if he had greeted him, and said politely: "I'm sorry to bother you."

Shen Yulou hurriedly said: "The humble house is simple, and I hope Mr. Xie will not be offended." Then he said, "I wonder if Mr. Xie had breakfast?"

Xie Yi dragged his brother to go inside very rudely, turned his head to Zhu Fu and Shen Yulou and said, "My eldest brother also came to Huzhou to visit my third uncle, but he won't stay in Huzhou for the New Year. He made a special detour in Songyang County, and I asked him to come here."

The snow in the small yard had already been shoveled to the bottom of the wall by Zhu Xi, leaving a small path in the middle. Seeing Wei Sanniang busy in the open kitchen on one side, Xie Yi greeted with a smile: "Mrs. Come here to eat, hey, where are the little meat dumplings?"

Sister Nuan was sitting in the room and was reciting the ninety-nine multiplication table when she suddenly heard the voice of the person who was grabbing food from her. She ran out after a while, stood at the door of the room, put her hands on her hips and said, "Greedy ghost, You are so disgusting, who are you called Routuanzi!"

"Of course I'm calling you." Xie Yi lifted Sister Nuan up high, held her around several times, and then said with a smile, "Without you robbing me of food, I'll have a meal." I ate a bowl of rice less."

Sister Nuan turned her chubby face aside, expressing that she didn't want to talk to Xie Yi.

Zhu Fu walked over and pinched his younger sister's face lightly, and asked her: "Why did you come out? Didn't you tell me to memorize the words? Have you memorized them all?"

Sister Nuan raised her head and laughed loudly: "Second sister, I remember everything, if you don't believe me, I will sing it to you." After she finished speaking, she shook her head and began to recite.

When the first word was recited, everyone thought that the girl was just a little smart, but when Sister Nuan shook her head and continued to recite, everyone present couldn't believe it... A girl who is only five years old is not at all. How do you know so much without dialing the abacus?

After Sister Nuan finished reciting, Shen Yulou walked over, squatted in front of her and asked, "Who did Sister Nuan learn from?"

Sister Nuan was very happy, pointed at Zhu Fu and said, "Second sister taught me the number song, and she is asking me to memorize the lyrics." Then she asked Zhu Fu, "Second sister, did I recite it wrong?"

"No, you spoke very well." Zhu Fu saw that Xie Yi, Shen Yulou, and the eldest son of the Xie family who just arrived today were all looking at him. She suddenly regretted it. She knew this simple nine The nine-multiplication table will attract so many people's attention, so she won't take the exam for Nuan.

Zhu Fu pretended not to see the surprised looks that everyone was throwing at him, and just smiled and said, "Sister Nuan led the three older brothers to sit in the main room, and the second sister went to the kitchen to steam chicken cakes. We will have breakfast later." Eat chicken cake, okay?"

Sister Nuan was happy, she looked like a young master, and stretched out her hand to invite the three big brothers to come in and sit down.

In the main room, Xie Yi said depressedly: "Even if I don't have the abacus by my side, I can't tell the result so quickly. This Zhu Er girl has never been to school, how can she know so much? Oh, she You even know how to compose a song.”

Unconvinced, Sister Nuan puffed her chest out and said, "Although my second sister has never been to school, she is very smart. She can sing, make chicken cakes and make money. She is much smarter than you."

Xie Yicai didn't care about it like this little girl, he hummed, and sat silently on the side without speaking.

Xie Tong felt strange, he still knew what kind of temperament his third brother was, why now he was reduced to being pointed at the nose by a little girl and didn't reply back?

Xie Yi caught a glimpse of his elder brother's questioning gaze, and pretended not to see it, he enjoyed it.

After a while, Wei Sanniang came in with a tray on which were placed three teacups filled with tea.

I bought this tea a few days ago, or at Zhu Fu's request. The family's conditions are better, so I must buy what needs to be added.

"You two Mr. Xie, please drink tea."

Shen Yulou hurriedly stood up, took the tea and said, "Auntie, let me come..." Xie Tong and Xie Yi next to him also stood up very politely, expressing that they really couldn't afford to ask the elders to serve tea.

Wei Sanniang said: "The house is full of rough tea and light food. It's rare that you don't dislike it. Sit down and tell me what you want. I'll go and see if the porridge is ready." He waved to Sister Nuan again, "Sister Nuan Don't make trouble, you follow mother to the kitchen to light the fire."

Sister Nuan was very obedient, and ran out bouncing around. When she reached the door, she made a face at Xie Yi to scare him.

Xie Yi took a sip of tea, he quickly wiped his mouth, and sat upright again.

Although Xie Tong didn't look sideways, he could see everything clearly from the corner of his eye. He couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and felt a little warmer in his heart.

No wonder Zizhan has been talking about this family for the past few days. It turns out that there is indeed a treasure hidden here, a treasure they couldn't ask for in such a big family.

Xie Tong originally planned to go around Songyang County, but changed his mind temporarily and wanted to stay here for a night.

In an inn in Songyang County, Xie Tong was sitting at the desk writing a letter with a lonely lamp. He hadn't written a few words when he suddenly put the pen aside again.

Standing by the window looking at the moonlight outside, Xie Yi suddenly laughed, pointed to a restaurant opposite and said, "Miss Zhu Er is the cook of this restaurant, if you say that she is quite capable as a girl, she is the same as when we met in the past. The girls who arrived were totally different."

Xie Tong got up lightly, walked steadily towards the window, and saw a petite and busy figure through the open window of Jingbin Building opposite.

"Do you like this girl?" His voice was clear, but deep and deep, and although it was light, every word was resounding.
