Chapter 918 You Can Also Learn From Your Father
As he spoke, Xiao Chen began to urge Xie Ying to do things.
Only when the tabletop was clean did Xiao Chen say, "Let's go."
A certain lord smiled and said, "Oh, thank you sir, please go down with Prince Chen. There is not much to do in your position for the time being."
Xie Ying: “…”
She glanced at the adult whose beard was turning white and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Then he left the office with Xiao Chen.
"Aying, let's ride on the same horse."
"I can do it myself."
As he spoke, Xie Ying picked a horse from the Imperial Stables and climbed onto it without waiting for Xiao Chen's reaction.
Xiao Chen sighed, there really was no weak person in Duke Xie's mansion.
Xiao Chen also picked a horse, and the two of them galloped all the way, and in just over an hour they arrived at Qingxi Valley.
Jingwen frowned. This old man Ding was indeed a shrewd man. He must have calculated that people would be arriving in the next few days, so he went back to the Imperial Observatory.
In the courtyard, Xiao Zhenzhen and Zhou Yiqing saw their brother and Xie Ying coming on horseback, and they smiled instantly, "Why is our brother here too?"
After that, she added: "You are too slow."
Xiao Zhenzhen was holding fish food in her hand at the moment, and turned around to feed the fish again. Jingwen stretched out his hand and said, "Your Highness, the King of Yue, if you keep feeding like this, the fish will get upset."
"What's wrong with turning over? It's a good opportunity to see their big white bellies." Her favorite fish is a red and white koi, which is so beautiful.
Of course, the largest one, the big tea seed, is as round as a drum and is also very popular.
Jingwen: “…”
Rong Xun looked at Jing Wen and said, "Then go and heat up the oil in a pan. Do you have the seasonings?"
Jingwen: “…”
He clearly saw a hint of worry in Lord Rong's eyes. He was clearly worried that his fish was going to die.
Xiao Chen and Xie Ying walked into the yard. Xiao Huang greeted them with two barks, sniffed them, and then went to chew on its molar bone.
"Uncle Rong."
"Lord Rong."
Xiao Chen and Xie Ying both bowed to Rong Xun, and then greeted Jingwen.
Rong Xun nodded, having guessed that someone was coming, and pointed to the coffee table beside him: Have some tea if you are thirsty.
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Zhenzhen and Zhou Yiqing, and naturally couldn't ask what he wanted to ask.
Xiao Zhenzhen came over and pulled Xie Ying along, "You can't feed him now, but Da Chazi will still come over to suck his hands and let you touch him."
Xie Ying squatted down, and sure enough, the koi fish didn't seem to be afraid of people, and they really started sucking on her hands.
"Sister-in-law Aying, if we had known you were coming, Zhou Yiqing and I would have waited for you."
Xie Ying smiled awkwardly, calling her sister-in-law was so easy for her to do.
"Sister-in-law Aying, can I ask you a question?" Xiao Zhenzhen looked at her with an innocent face.
This was the first time she had seen such an expression since Xiao Zhenzhen returned from the battle.
Xie Ying nodded, "Yes," she looked at Xiao Zhenzhen, "But, you should stop calling me sister-in-law in the future. Your elder brother and I are not married yet."
As she spoke, she shifted her gaze to look at this natural creek pond, which was surrounded by bamboo poles and mats from top to bottom. Even if the water level rose, the fish would not be washed away.
The sound of water flowing is so loud, and the fish don't have to change water, overturn the tank, or have smelly water like the domestic koi do.
Lord Rong is really a man who knows how to live a good life. It's a pity that no one is worthy of him.
Zhou Yiqing watched them talking and simply went to watch the dog chewing bones.
When he was halfway there, he found Jingwen chopping wood, so he decided to just go chop wood. It seemed that Prince Chen still wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Uncle Rong. Bah, no, he couldn't call Uncle Rong yet. He should walk away so as not to disturb Prince Chen and Lord Rong from talking.
When Jingwen saw Zhou Yiqing swinging the axe, he was stunned for a moment, because he was Qingning's child.
It's all this big.
It was indeed the young general. The young general in bright clothes and riding a vigorous horse took shape.
"I can handle these things myself." Jingwen said to Zhou Yiqing.
Zhou Yiqing said, "I'll accompany you." Being able to chop wood for Lord Rong was an honor, and it was an opportunity given to him because of Zhen'er.
"These are all top-quality sandalwood. This is cypress, boxwood, and huanghuali. Lord Rong uses these to carve small things. Of course, in the courtyard," he looked around, "the small wooden stool that His Royal Highness the King of Yue is sitting on is made of huanghuali."
Zhou Yiqing: “…”
Only then did he realize that Jingwen was not chopping wood, but carefully sharpening the wood, classifying it according to different wood types, sizes and lengths.
"Master Rong is really amazing."
Jingwen nodded, "Yes."
Lord Rong carved a lot of things and said that when he gets old, he will sell these things to earn money for his retirement.
Thinking about it, Jingwen found it very funny.
As long as the world is still ruled by the emperor, Your Majesty, you should not let her uncle Rong live out his life without money, right?
On the other side, Rong Xun said he had a little thing for Xiao Chen, and the two of them went into the house.
Rong Xun took out two sandalwood bracelets that he had carved and polished himself, "I'll give the other one to Miss Xie later."
Xiao Chen said "Oh", looked at it carefully twice and found that it was still an ordinary bracelet.
Rong Xun said calmly: "Don't worry, there is no other mystery in this bracelet.
But I heard from Yao'er yesterday that you and Miss Xie's wedding date have been cancelled. I think you two are doing well."
"What's the problem between you and Miss Xie?"
Xiao Chen took a deep breath. He didn’t know what to say. Would Aying be angry if he told her secret to others like this?
Rong Xun saw Xiao Chen's embarrassed look and didn't let him say anything. He had calculated for several children last night and said, "Don't worry, your fate with her is destined in this life, it's just that the time has been advanced.
You will grow old together, with your children and grandchildren around you."
"Son, you have children and grandchildren around you?"
"Ah."
"I……"
"Of course, you can also follow your father's example and take the sterilizing drug after you have a child, so as to save your princess from suffering."
Xiao Chen: “…”
He couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Thank you, Uncle Rong."
Rong Xun: “…”
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Xiao Chen suppressed his smile, cupped his hands, and bowed respectfully to Rong Xun, "Thank you, Uncle Rong, it's nothing, I just wanted to come and see you."
Rong Xun: “…”
You looked so dignified just now, does that mean everything is fine?
He doesn't look like it!
Thinking about it, Rong Xun suddenly remembered something. In his previous life, Qing Chang'an left Xie Ying because she could not give birth to children.
So, in this life, Xie Ying was probably worried that she couldn't have children, so she postponed the wedding date with Chen'er and wanted to break off the engagement?
Thinking of this, Rong Xun didn't say anything. His previous words should have dispelled all of Xiao Chen's doubts.
"It's up to fate to have children. There's no need to force it. Your sweetheart is herself first. Secondly, she is willing to be a mother, and then a mother." Rong Xun patted Xiao Chen's shoulder and said, there's really no need to be obsessed with many things.
