Chapter 40 There are many things in court, but they are not as important as you!

Chi Xi said modestly: "The old lady is full of praise."

"She is neither flattering nor humiliating, neither humble nor overbearing. She is generous and generous. She is indeed a good woman."

When the old lady was young, she followed her husband around the world. It was not that she had never seen a woman who was generous, forthright and straightforward. But Chi Xi was a little more gentle than those bold and straightforward girls. She smiled and said, "You have your heart.

I even made this table of dishes specially for me.”

"I heard that the old lady had a bad appetite, so she showed off her shame. I hope the old lady likes it, eats more, and gets well as soon as possible."

"Okay, okay, my appetite increases just by smelling these dishes. Wait until I try them."

The old lady smiled happily and asked her to serve. She put a piece of tofu into her mouth. As soon as she tasted it, her eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly: "This tofu is so tender and delicious. How did you do it?"

of?"

Chi Xi said with a smile: "This tofu is tender when it is made. When it is boiled with mountain spring water, the delicious flavor is stimulated. Because the old lady is not feeling well, I put in some warming ingredients.

, you can drink some soup to nourish your body."

"You really are a wonderful person."

Even these have been considered.

The old lady tasted other dishes one after another, and the smile on her face never fell. She was eating happily, and Chi Xi reminded her in a low voice: "Old lady, you have eaten enough, but you can't eat anymore. Be careful."

abdomen."

The old lady put down her chopsticks aggrievedly, touched her round belly, and said with emotion: "Xiaoxi, the food you cook is so delicious. It's obviously home-cooked food, but it tastes better than the cook at our house.

The cooking is much more delicious. I wonder if you have any idea of ​​opening a restaurant?"

The two of them had been together for less than two-quarters of an hour, and their relationship had deepened a lot.

Chi Xi shook his head and said with a smile: "Without this idea, we can only do what we can now."

The old lady was very sorry: "But I really like to eat the food you cook. If you didn't open a restaurant, it would be hard for me to eat."

"There will be opportunities in the future."

Chi Xi was gentle, generous and not shy, and was deeply liked by the old lady. When Xi Dazhuang asked someone to inquire.

The old lady reluctantly pulled Chi Xi and said, "I am very happy to be able to eat the meal you cooked. Seeing that you are very happy, I will give you a small object to play with. If you have time in the future, please do it."

Come often."

The old lady asked her nanny to take out a small box and hand it to Chi Xi. Just when Chi Xi was about to refuse, the old lady smiled and said, "Don't refuse. This is a piece of my heart, not a precious rarity."

Chi Xi couldn't stop being pretentious. After reaching out to take the box, he said with a smile: "Thank you, madam. If I have time, I will come see you again."

"Okay, okay, you must come."

The more the old lady looked at Chixi, the more she liked it.

It's a pity that such a good woman already has a husband-in-law, otherwise it would be best for her to marry her as her granddaughter-in-law.

Chi Xi took the box and walked out of the Liu Mansion under the leadership of the maid. Xi Dazhuang was waiting for her there and lit a fire in the carriage in advance. As soon as she walked to the door of the carriage, she felt the heat wave hitting her face.

Xi Dazhuang saw something in her hand and asked in confusion: "What is that in your hand?"

"Given by the old lady."

Chi Xi smiled and opened it, and inside lay a pair of silver earrings carved with plum blossoms.

It is simple and solemn, with elegant beauty, does not show wealth, but is very unique.

If this pair of earrings were sold in a jewelry store, they would cost at least five taels of silver.

"This...the old lady said it was a small item for me to play with, but I didn't expect it to be a silver earring."

Chi Xi regretted accepting the earrings.

She never likes to owe others things, especially favors, and she frowns in confusion.

Xi Dazhuang raised his hand and patted her little head gently, and said with a low smile: "Don't bite your lips, it's not a big deal. The old lady is willing to give it to you, just accept it. We will add one or two from other places in the future."

"

Chi Xi smiled and said helplessly: "You know, it is soft-spoken and short-handed when it comes to taking advantage of others. It is the most difficult to repay a debt of gratitude."

"Okay, don't worry about these things anymore. It's hard to come to the county town. Can my husband take you for a walk?"

Xi Dazhuang was still thinking about buying some delicious and fun things for his daughter-in-law. He immediately led the horse and turned around, laughing loudly and saying: "Hurry up and get on the carriage. If we delay further, we will have to rush home."

"Okay, got it."

Chi Xi smiled and was helped into the carriage by Xi Dazhuang.

The weather was cold, and it was not a market day. There were very few pedestrians on the street. The shops on both sides of the street were doing bleak business. No one went in to buy anything for a long time. The shopkeepers in the shops dozed off with their heads propped up.

"Shopkeeper, how do you sell this bracelet?"

Xi Dazhuang took Chi Xi into the jewelry store, and immediately fell in love with a bracelet with spring colors. His wife's wrists were fair and delicate, and she didn't know what she would look like wearing this bracelet.

The shopkeeper was woken up and looked up at Xi Dazhuang in a daze. Seeing that he was dressed simply and didn't look like someone who could afford a bracelet, he snorted slightly and closed his eyes again.

Xi Dazhuang frowned and wanted to ask again, but Chi Xi stopped him: "Brother Dazhuang, forget it, let's look at another one! I don't like that bracelet very much."

The shopkeeper looks down on others, so even if she likes the bracelet, she won't take it.

Xi Dazhuang frowned and looked at his wife-in-law. Seeing her serious expression, he nodded and followed Chi Xi out of the store. As soon as they walked out of the store, they met the lingering Shen Ruyu.

Shen Ruyu walked over slowly and said with a chuckle: "Xi Xiangduo, look at you, now you have to look at someone's face even if you want to buy a bracelet for your wife, why bother?"

Xi Dazhuang glanced at him sideways and pulled Chi Xi across from him.

Shen Ruyu raised her hand towards Shen Tao, and Shen Tao walked into the jewelry shop.

Shen Ruyu smiled and said loudly: "Since you like it, just wait a moment. Ever since we met, we always parted ways on bad terms. Today I will give my sister-in-law a bracelet. I hope she can accept it."

"Shen Ruyu, are you very free?"

Xi Dazhuang couldn't help but turn around and look at the man who was smiling like a spring breeze. His fists were hardened and his voice was cold: "Is there nothing else to do in the court? Do you have to pester me?"

"There are many things going on in the DPRK, but they are nothing more important than you!"

Shen Ruyu was determined to take Xi Xiangduo back.

But this person's lack of food and salt is really a headache.

He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "If I can't take you back, it will be difficult for me to do business."

Xi Dazhuang frowned and said softly after a while: "I won't go back. You will only waste time if you stay here. Don't do unnecessary things in the future. If you are very free, I don't mind finding something for you."

Do."

Shen Ruyu knew that Xi Dazhuang was not threatening him, but was keeping his word.

Feeling helpless, I felt a toothache.

He said very dissatisfiedly: "When will you change your stubborn temper?"

"Don't worry about it."

Xi Dazhuang turned around and left.

Shen Ruyu clicked her tongue twice: "Do you really don't want the bracelet?"

"Do not care."
