Chapter 414: It’s Good to Have Ambition
The few of them sat there chatting awkwardly for a long time, mainly because Mrs. Wang loved to talk too much, and Xie Jiaojiao couldn't follow up on many of her sentences, so she just hoped that Xie Zhiyi would finish his conversation soon.
But after waiting for almost an hour, Xie Zhiyi finally finished his work, and Mrs. Wang seemed to have almost finished her words.
In the meantime, the wet nurse borrowed a place to feed Xiaoxiao once.
Xie Zhiyi walked over quickly, and when he saw Xie Jiaojiao and Jiang Weinan, his eyes turned red: "Sister, brother-in-law!"
After all, he hasn't seen his relatives for more than a year.
Xie Jiaojiao smiled and nodded, her eyes were also very warm, she pulled him and raised her hand to touch his head: "If you want to touch my head now, I have to raise my hand."
Xie Zhiyi hummed with a nasal sound.
Xie Jiaojiao quickly took Xiaoxiao from the wet nurse's arms.
"Look at your niece."
Xie Zhiyi looked at Xiaoxiao's pink and tender little face and said sincerely: "She is so pretty, sister, are you okay?"
Xie Jiaojiao was touched and shook her head: "Don't worry, it's okay."
"That's good."
Doctor Wang and Madam Wang saw how affectionate the siblings were and didn't want to disturb them, so they gave them some space.
Mrs. Wang was very enthusiastic: "It's rare for Zhiyi's relatives to come to see him. It's almost noon now. Please stay and have a meal."
Xie Jiaojiao quickly refused, and the couple thought so too. It was rare for the siblings to get together, and everyone was here, so how could they talk privately? Thinking of this, Doctor Wang said to Xie Zhiyi, "Since your relatives are here, I will give you half a day off in the afternoon so that you can spend some time with your family."
Xie Zhiyi's eyes lit up and he immediately bowed: "Thank you, Master."
The group walked out, and many people in the shop looked at them. They were all surprised that Xie Zhiyi actually had such a rich relative.
Someone ran outside to look at the carriage: "There are guards following behind it."
It was noon, so I wanted to find a place to have a quick meal.
Before leaving in the morning, I also told He Mengwan that I would not be going home for lunch.
"Cousin, why do we need to find a place? Have you forgotten that our family runs a shop? Come on, I'll take you to our restaurant in the city for dinner."
Then he pointed the way to Lai Fu.
Soon they arrived at Mingyue Tower.
"Cousin, I opened this Mingyue Tower. It is similar to your Xiangyuan Tower, except for the name."
The shopkeeper came over quickly, and when he saw that it was the boss, he quickly led the way and went upstairs to find a private room.
Xie Jiaojiao looked at the restaurant carefully. It was indeed very similar to Xiangyuanlou, but perhaps because of the different location, this was the capital after all, so there were many private rooms, and each of them was very elegant.
The group sat down, and Xie Jiaojiao began to care about how Xie Zhiyi had been doing over the past year.
"Sister, don't worry, Master and his wife treat me very well, and I have learned some skills."
"Now that you've learned these skills, do you want to go back to Jiangbo City with me after the New Year?"
Xie Zhiyi shook his head.
Xie Jiaojiao didn't force him: "Okay, look at you, a man should have ambitions, it's a good thing to have ambitions."
The food came and Xie Jiaojiao kept picking up food for Xie Zhiyi.
Seeing her so happy, Jiang Weinan felt happy too.
After dinner, Xie Jiaojiao took Xie Zhiyi out shopping, mainly to buy things for Xie Zhiyi.
Xie Zhiyi stopped her: "Sister, you bought so many, how can I wear them all!"
Xie Jiaojiao pointed at the clothes on him and said, "Look, these clothes fit you very well."
Xie Zhiyi touched the back of his head and said, "I didn't pay attention to it myself. It's fine as long as it fits."
Xie Jiaojiao dotingly tapped his forehead: "You, you!"
After saying that, he took out some silver bills and gave them to him.
"Sister, no need for money, the master will give me monthly salary."
"Just take what I give you! If you don't need it, save it. What if you need it in an emergency?"
Xie Zhiyi then accepted it, and Xie Jiaojiao handed him the food box: "Take these back and share them with your fellow disciples."
"I know, sister."
Xie Jiaojiao watched him go in, then turned around and went back to the mansion with Jiang Weinan and the others.
He Mengwan had already prepared wine and food at home.
"Today your uncle and your eldest brother went to see Fang'er, so they won't be back for dinner, so we'll eat alone."
"Brother Qin, are you okay?" Jing asked in embarrassment.
Speaking of this, He Mengwan sighed slightly: "I heard that he was injured, but fortunately, it's nothing serious."
Hearing her say this, both of them felt relieved.
At this time, the aunt asked, "Is the eldest grandson's wife not back yet?"
He Mengwan felt a little strange when talking about this: "Yes, I have been back to my mother's house for two days, and the New Year is coming soon. I will ask Aonan to pick them up tomorrow."
Only then did the aunt nod.
Just as I was about to pick up my chopsticks, Li Yan'er came over.
"Grandma, great aunt!"
He Mengwan stood up quickly: "Yan'er is here! Have you eaten? If not, come and sit down!"
Li Yan'er was holding a lunch box in her hand.
"Grandma, this is Qingtuan. Mom made it herself. She knew you liked it, so she asked me to bring it here."
The aunt smiled and said, "Your mother is a thoughtful person."
The servant came up and took the things out.
Li Yan'er also sat down, pouting and looking unhappy: "You guys didn't come to play with me today."
Jiang Ruonan was cut all over, and Li Yan'er knocked him down with a punch.
He Mengwan couldn't help but joked: "Look at these two monkeys, when they get together, they want to fight."
The aunt also laughed and then asked them: "Did you find anything fun in the city today?"
Jiang Weinan explained: "Aunt, we went to the medicine store to visit Jiaojiao's brother today, and we haven't looked around properly yet."
"Oh, you see, I forgot about this." After saying that, he looked at Xie Jiaojiao and said, "The New Year is coming soon. Take some time to invite your brother to your home as a guest."
"Don't worry, Auntie. If he has time, he will definitely come."
"That's fine, that's fine."
After dinner, Jiang Weinan took Xie Jiaojiao back to his own yard.
It was windy at night. Xie Jiaojiao sighed, "It's not good to have a big house. Walking this distance, I feel like my hands and feet are almost frozen."
As soon as she returned to the house, Cuizhu immediately brought out the hot water bottle.
She felt better then, but there was a heater in the room, and soon her whole body was warmed up.
Xie Jiaojiao looked at Jiang Weinan puzzledly and said, "Have you noticed that although I saw Yan'er in the past two days, I didn't hear her mention He Hu."
Jiang Weinan put down his teacup: "I was just about to tell you about this."
Seeing the servants bringing water, Xie Jiaojiao shook her head and said, "Forget it, I'll ask when I'm free."
After they washed up, the nurse brought Xiaoxiao over again, teased the child for a while, and then went to bed...
