Chapter 321 Not a topic for after-dinner conversation   After receiving the news, Xie Cheng walked out of the prison slowly.   He ordered the county magistrate to have people deal with the bodies, and then stepped over the corpses and left.   The county magistrate looked at his back and couldn't help but breathe a sigh   of relief. He had been worried about offending this ancestor these two days with him around, and now that he had finally left, he could finally rest assured.   "He is worthy of being the living king of hell." The jailer who came to move the body whispered, "He said he would burn him alive, and he promised to release him the moment before, and the next moment he was gone."   "Shut up!" The county magistrate turned around in panic, and after seeing Xie Cheng's back, he turned around and sternly reprimanded the jailer, "He is not a topic for after-dinner conversation. If you know he is scary, just keep your mouth shut and don't cause trouble for me."   "Yes!"   The jailer lowered his head in panic.   Tang Xi and the Mo family had been waiting at the inn early, and when they saw him come back, they hurriedly asked what happened.   After learning that the people had been dealt with, they were relieved.   Mo Ziteng said angrily: "This group of pirates is really hateful! Killing people and burning ships, doing all kinds of evil, it's not a pity to die."   The fear of fleeing at that time is still vivid in my mind, and I can't forget it in a short time.   Moreover, at that time, the burning of the big ship also affected the surrounding fishing boats, causing heavy losses to those fishermen.   Of course, those heavy losses were made up by Tang Xi.   In the box, in addition to gold, silver and jewelry, there was also a box of millions of taels of silver notes for the general use of Canglan Kingdom.   She gave the village chief 50,000 taels that day, saying that it was searched from those pirates, and asked him to compensate the fishermen whose boats were burned, and the rest was to help those families who really couldn't get by.   As far as she knew, the village chief was a kind man, and the people in the village seemed to respect him very much. That's why she just delivered the 100,000 taels to the village chief.   She also gave Captain Cheng 100,000 taels. She asked about the big ship, and it seemed to be only a few thousand taels.   Captain Cheng said that he would take the money back and compensate the relatives of the twenty crew members.   As for Xu Yi and Shangguan Cong, Tang Xi naturally would not give them.   For a wealthy family like them, losing some things is nothing.   After the matter was settled, the few people continued to set off for Hanshui City.   Shangguan Cong and the other two prepared to return to Yanhai Town.   About half a month later, a row of carriages lined up to enter Hanshui City.   After entering the city, Tang Xi parted ways with Xie Cheng and Chu Tianyou.   She booked an inn for the Mo family to live in, and paid Lin Laosan for the carriage fee, a total of fifty taels.   After sending Lin Laosan away, she sent a letter to Tang Zheng.   After receiving the news, Tang Zheng went into the city alone early the next morning.   Seeing him, the two elders of the Mo family had some complicated feelings.   Tang Zheng saluted with a proper attitude and said, "Dad, Mom, you are here!"   "No need to be polite." Grandpa Mo waved his hand, "Sit down."   After Tang Zheng sat down, he looked at Mo Ziteng and others and smiled, "This is Ziteng and Linglong, right? It's been a long time since we last met. You have grown up so much."   "Uncle!"   Several people saluted.   "Are these two the children of Axi's uncle?" Tang Zheng looked at Mo Zihao and Mo Zihan and asked with a smile.   Xia nodded, "Yes, their older one is called Zihan and the younger one is called Zihao. They are twin brothers."   "Twin brothers?" Tang Zheng was surprised, "They don't look alike."   Xia nodded, "Yes, they don't look alike. One looks like dad and the other looks like mom."   Tang Xi noticed that there was some awkwardness in the atmosphere, and hurriedly spoke up to break the awkwardness, "Dad, isn't it a day off today? Why didn't you bring Axiao with you?"   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 322 It's snowing   Speaking of Tang Xiao, Xia and Old Master Mo were somewhat moved.   "He didn't know you were back, so he asked Aunt Qin to take him to Zhaodi's place to play early in the morning."   Tang Xi frowned slightly when she heard this, "During the time I was away, was your cousin's uncle okay?"   "Not good." Tang Zheng shook his head and said, "Your eldest cousin took away the only money your eldest cousin's wife had. When your cousin's uncle found out, he was furious. Your aunt helped your eldest cousin, and the two of them got angry and separated their rooms."   Speaking of this, he looked at Tang Xi and said with some difficulty: "There is something that Dad wants you to forgive."   "What is it?" Tang Xi frowned.   "That's right, your eldest cousin and your uncle were kicked out by your aunt, so Dad took the initiative to give them our small mud house."   Tang Xi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. She thought it was a big deal.   "It's okay."   After Tang Yong and Tang Zhiyuan were separated, Wan and Tang Zhaodi lived a better life, and she could support them openly.   Xia sighed, "I haven't seen Xiao for more than a year, and I don't know what he looks like now."   Before Liu married in, they had visited Tang Xi and her brother, but after Liu came in, they never went again.   Tang Xi smiled slightly, "I'll send someone back to borrow Xiao."   After she went downstairs, she asked Kong Yue to go to the Tang family to pick up Tang Xiao. Kong Yue left after receiving the order.   It took only half an hour for Kong Yue to send the person.   After seeing Xia and Old Man Mo, Tang Xiao was stunned at first, and then he was overjoyed. He hugged the two and shouted and yelled.   "Oh, good kids!"   The two laughed from ear to ear.   Xia hugged him and coaxed him like his darling.   Tang Xiao held one in each hand, sobbing a little, "Grandpa and grandma, Xiao misses you so much!"   Xia smiled with red eyes, "Grandpa and grandma miss you too!"   Tang Xi was moved and relieved.   "Cousin."   Mo Ziteng stepped forward and asked with a smile, "I heard that you are studying in Qingfeng College? Is Qingfeng College big?"   Tang Xiao looked at him in confusion, as if he didn't know him very well.   "This is my eldest cousin, Mo Ziteng, and that is your eldest cousin, Mo Linglong."   Hearing this, Tang Xiao cleverly called out, "Brother Ziteng, Sister Linglong."   Xia then brought Mo Zihan and Mo Zihao over, and introduced them with a smile, "These two are your uncle's sons, two months younger than you, and they are your two cousins, Zihan and Zihao."   Tang Xiao bowed and said, "Hello, my two cousins!"   The two also returned the greeting, "Hello, cousin!"   After introducing the relationship, Tang Xi breathed a sigh of relief.   "It's snowing!"   Mo Linglong stared out the window and exclaimed.   Tang Xi looked over and saw snowflakes falling from the sky.   "It has snowed a long time ago." Tang Xiao smiled and said, "It snowed several times last month, but not too much. It melted when the sun came out."   Mo Linglong reached out to catch a snowflake and smiled, "Where we are, it snows during the Chinese New Year."   "It is said that Hanshui City is the last to snow this year." Tang Zheng said, "I heard that in previous years, it snowed around October."   Tang Xiao looked at Tang Xi and said, "Sister, after you left, it rained heavily in Hanshui City. Our wells were full, and there was a lot of rain water accumulated where Aunt Qin and the others lived."   "Really?" Tang Xi was surprised, "What about them?"   "Dad asked them to move up and live with us."   Tang Xi glanced at Tang Zheng when he heard this.   But he explained with a slightly embarrassed expression, "After all, it's impossible to live with water. There are several empty rooms next to us, and you were not there at the time, so Dad took the initiative to let them live here together."   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 323 Tang Family Rouge Shop   Tang Xi raised an eyebrow. She didn't say anything. Why was he so nervous?   "Dad, you are also the owner of the manor. You don't need to ask me for any decision."   As long as it wasn't someone she disliked, she wouldn't say anything.   Besides, she had asked Aunt Qin and her daughter to move in with them before, but Aunt Qin didn't want to.   Tang Zheng smiled awkwardly.   Tang Xiao said, "Now, the water is frozen, a very thick layer, it's so cold, it's definitely uninhabitable."   "Who is Aunt Qin?" Xia was curious.   "Oh, she's an aunt in our manor." Tang Xi explained with a smile, "She's also my father's friend. Like us, she's from Gaopo Village, Luobian Town. Because she married a peddler, she drifted to Hanshui City. She lost her husband early and brought her children to help with work in Xie's house. Finally, she was sent to the manor by the former city lord's wife to be a housekeeper." "   I see!" Xia nodded.   She glanced at Tang Zheng and asked Tang Xi, "How does Qin treat you?"   After hearing this, Tang Xi didn't understand Xia's plan.   She smiled and said, "Very good, she takes good care of Xiao and me, and she is very kind."   "Yeah." Xia nodded, "We can't stay in the inn forever. After a few days, when your shop opens, your grandfather and I will go back to the farm with your father. He is old and doesn't like the hustle and bustle."   Tang Zheng was confused and didn't quite understand what Xia meant.   Tang Xi saw it clearly and knew that Xia was intending to find a good stepmother for her and Tang Xiao.   But she didn't know what Tang Zheng and Qin Ma were up to.   Two days later, the Tang family's rouge shop finally opened.   She finally put out all the stock in the space. There were 300 boxes, each box was 100 taels.   Because when she was in Xie's house before, Xie Ling sold it to those young ladies from aristocratic families at this price, so she couldn't lower the price.   In addition, there is also a lipstick made of the Wanling flower. It is red and has a faint Wanling flower fragrance. Each box costs fifty taels.   Maybe she priced it too high. People who came in to see it were scared away after seeing the price.   Even the girls next door couldn't help but complain, saying that only the courtesan could afford it.   Not to mention other people, even the people of the Mo family and Tang Zheng were shocked by the price.   "It's so expensive, can it be sold?" Mo Linglong was worried that this product would expire directly on the shelf.   Tang Xi smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, good products are not lacking in discerning customers."   "Or, adjust the price appropriately?" Mo Ziteng suggested.   So many people came in, but no one paid. He really didn't know where his cousin got the confidence from.   Tang Xi raised his eyebrows and looked at the street not far away, and smiled, "Aren't there customers coming?"   "Where?"   Several people looked at it in confusion, but saw no customers except those who came and went.   Tang Xi: "Wait a little longer, we'll be here soon."   She had seen those girls in Xie's house. They were the ones who took the Wanling Flower Cream from Xie Ling that day.   They were not very old, maybe just coming of age, maybe a few years younger than Xie Ling.   They probably spent a high price on her Wanling Flower Cream just because of Xie Ling. Just   when the Mo family was getting anxious, they saw a few girls walking in hand in hand.   Tang Xi stood up and greeted them with a smile, "Girls, do you want to buy rouge?"   "Newly opened?" One of the girls frowned slightly, "Can the stuff here be reliable?"   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 324 is newly opened   "Girl, that's a good question!"   Tang Xi smiled, "The things here have been used by you girls. I think no one knows better than you whether they are good or not."   "Isn't your shop newly opened?"   Tang Xi nodded, "It is newly opened."   "If it is newly opened, how can we have used it before?" Mu Anan was puzzled.   Zhao Yunqian entered the shop first, and when she saw the box of Wanling Flower Cream, she was stunned.   She picked it up and sniffed it lightly, her almond eyes widened, "Is this... the beauty cream that the prince's wife bought for us from the genius doctor?"   "Yes!" Tang Xi smiled and stepped forward and said, "It is the Wanling Flower Cream."   "So, it's called Wanling Flower Cream!" Zhao Yunqian looked suddenly enlightened.   "How is this possible?" Shi Feifei didn't believe it. "How could something made by a miracle doctor be placed in a small shop?"   "It's true!" Zhao Yunqian said, "The smell and the box are exactly the same, and it's at this price, it can't be wrong."   "Let me smell it!" Mu Anan strode in, took it and smelled it carefully, her eyes lit up, "It really is this smell."   Shi Feifei was half-believing and half-doubting, she also walked in, and when she confirmed that what they said was not a lie, she couldn't help but be overjoyed.   "Miss, do you know the miracle doctor in Xie's house?" Mu Anan asked.   Tang Xi smiled and nodded without blushing, "It's an old acquaintance."   "No wonder!" She pursed her lips and smiled, and waved to a girl who was still outside the shop, "Zhiqing, we are talking about this beauty cream."   The girl called Zhiqing was the most outstanding in appearance among the girls, and her manners were extremely elegant, even her walking steps were light and light.   She stepped forward, took the box from Mu Anan with her delicate hands, and said softly, "You mean, this is the beauty cream made by the miracle doctor in the Xie Mansion?"   "Yes!" Zhao Yunqian smiled, "This is very useful. I used to have a thin scar on my forehead, but after applying this, it disappeared in just a few days."   "So magical?" Wang Zhiqing was a little skeptical.   "It's really magical, I'm not lying to you!" Mu Anan smiled, "My sister had acne all over her face before, and she also used this and it healed in just a few days."   Wang Zhiqing nodded slightly, "Okay, girl, I want two boxes."   Tang Xi smiled and nodded, and gave her two boxes of Wanlinghua Cream.   After receiving the banknotes, she introduced the lip balm to the others, saying, "The lip balm next to it is also good. If you are interested, you may try it."   "Try it?" Mu An'an was puzzled. "Is it okay to try?"   "Of course you can!"   Tang Xi stepped forward and took the box with a small paper from the shelf. After opening it, he handed it to her, "Try applying some on your lips."   Mu An'an took it, walked to the bronze mirror next to her, put a little with her finger, and then applied it on her lips, and sipped it twice.   "Hey!" Zhao Yunqian's eyes lit up, "This lip color is really beautiful!"   "It's winter now, and lips are prone to chapped. This one of mine is not only beautiful, but also can prevent chapped lips. Girls are so beautiful, you can't go to see your sweetheart with dry lips. It's not good."   After she said that, she also winked at the others.   The girls blushed instantly.   Zhao Yunqian smiled and said, "Miss, you are really good at talking. Give me four boxes."   "Why did you buy so many?" Shi Feifei was surprised.   Zhao Yunqian smiled and said, "I bought them for my mother and two sisters."   "Tsk~" Shi Feifei pouted, "It's fine to buy them for my aunt, but why should I spend money on those two little hooves?"   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 325 Looks Familiar   Zhao Yunqian frowned, "Even if they are illegitimate, they are still my sisters. You can't say that to them."   Shi Feifei said, "My mother said that illegitimate children are illegitimate children, and they will never be as good as us legitimate children."   "Your mother is wrong to say that!" Zhao Yunqian said seriously, "My mother said that a family must live in harmony in order to make money safely."   "I think Feifei is right!" Wang Zhiqing said, "Illegitimate children are illegitimate children. They are inferior to us after all. A big family must look like a big family. There is no order without rules. If illegitimate children and legitimate children are all the same, wouldn't it be a mess?"   Tang Xi raised her eyebrows slightly.   Mu Anan said, "You are really troublesome. Just marry my mother like my father. How much easier?"   Tang Xi chuckled when she heard this. Among the four people, she had a good impression of Zhao Yunqian and Mu Anan.   Hearing her laughter, Mu Anan blinked and looked at her in confusion.   Tang Xi asked with a smile, "Does anyone else want to buy lip balm?"   Mu An'an said, "Give me three boxes, and I'll bring one box for my mother and my sister as well."   "I'll just take one box." Shi Feifei blushed and said, "I didn't bring that much money when I went out today."   "Okay!"   Tang Xi nodded and looked at Wang Zhiqing, but she said, "Give me ten boxes."   Hearing that, Tang Xi grinned instantly.   He hurriedly brought small cloth bags for several people to pack.   Zhao Yunqian took two more boxes of Wanlinghua Cream.   When they walked away, everyone in the shop looked at Tang Xi with admiration in their eyes.   He earned more than a thousand taels in one go, which... is simply amazing!   Tang Xi took the silver note and winked at several people.   Mo Ziteng praised, "Cousin, you don't have to do anything, just sit here, you won't have to worry about food and clothing for half a day."   Mo Linglong shook her head and sighed, "These people are really willing to spend!"   She thought that spending a hundred coins a day was already the limit, but she didn't expect that these rich people would spend hundreds of taels at a time, which was really enviable.   "I heard that the girl sells the Wanling Flower Cream made by the miracle doctor here. I wonder if it's true?"   A woman holding a beauty fan and dressed gorgeously walked in and asked with a twist of her waist.   This woman has been standing outside the door since just now.   Tang Xi has been to this shop many times, and she naturally knows what the madam opposite looks like.   So, after seeing this woman, she suddenly showed a happy smile.   But she pretended not to know: "Madam, what do you need to buy?"   The madam waved her beauty fan twice and said in a delicate voice: "Oh, I want to buy a box of Wanling Flower Cream and a box of lip balm. Here's the money."   Tang Xi took the banknote and smiled, "Madam, wait a moment."   The madam seemed to be amazed by her smile and was dazed for a moment.   If such a beautiful girl entered her Yanchun Tower, she would definitely be a high-ranking courtesan. It's a pity that she is a girl from a wealthy family.   Tang Xi took a box of Wanling Flower Cream and a box of lip balm and handed them to her.   The madam was about to turn around and leave, but saw two handsome men walk in, and her eyes lit up.   What a handsome young man, this appearance, this demeanor, you can tell at a glance that it is not something that an ordinary family can raise.   Then, the charming old procuress twisted her waist, passed by Tang Xi with a fragrant breeze, and walked forward with a charming smile, "You two gentlemen look so familiar, have we met somewhere before?"   Xie Cheng and Chu Tianyou looked at each other, and they both saw the suspicion in each other's eyes.   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 326 Have you been there?   Xie Cheng: "Have you been there?"   Chu Tianyou: "Have you been there?"   After that, they both shook their heads at the same time.   "It doesn't matter if you haven't been there. You can go there after sunset tonight!"   The madam said, and she fanned the two of them lightly with her beauty fan. The other hand was about to wrap around Chu Tianyou's shoulders, and he stepped back several steps in fear.   Tang Xi covered her lips and smiled secretly. She coughed lightly and stepped forward, saying to the madam: "Madam, are you the mother of Yanchun Tower opposite?"   "Miss, do you know me?" The madam was a little surprised.   "I met you once when I came to the shop." She glanced at Xie Cheng and said to the madam: "It doesn't seem good for you to let my fiancé go to your building in front of me."   "Your fiancé!" The madam blinked, "Which one?"   Tang Xi gently pulled Xie Cheng over, "This one."   Xie Cheng hooked his lips.   "Oh, I was just saying so." The madam smiled awkwardly, "A pretty girl like this must be paired with a god-like figure."   Chu Tianyou: ???   "Am I not as handsome as a god?" he asked the madam.   The madam laughed a few times, "That's different. This young man is like a fairy flying in the sky, and you are more like a rich young man in the world."   Chu Tianyou: ...   This old man, why don't you say he is a fairy swimming in the water?   "Uh... If there is nothing else, I will go back first."   After saying that, she also threw a coquettish eye at the rich young man, which scared him so much that he shivered and almost fell down.   Tang Xi and several young people from the Mo family laughed unkindly.   "Why are you here?" Tang Xi asked with a raised eyebrow.   Chu Tianyou blushed and said, "I was going to the Yanhong Tavern. I don't know the way, so I asked Brother Xie to help lead the way."   Tang Xi was shocked, "Do you know who Boss Lin likes?"   "Who?" Chu Tianyou was a little nervous.   Tang Xi: "Far away in the horizon, yet close at hand."   "Ah?"   Chu Tianyou paused, then widened his eyes, "You are talking about... Brother Xie, right?"   Tang Xi smiled faintly and nodded, "Exactly!"   Chu Tianyou: ...   Did he find a love rival to lead the way for him?   He was silent for a long while, and said, "Or, I'll go by myself, the Yanhong Tavern on Chengxi Street, right?"   "Let Mo Yi take you there."   As soon as Xie Cheng finished speaking, he saw Mo Yi, who had parked the carriage, coming over.   Chu Tianyou glanced inside the house and asked Tang Xi, "How much do you sell those things in your house?"   "One hundred taels of beauty cream per box, and fifty taels of lip balm per box." "   This... does anyone buy it?" Chu Tianyou was a little skeptical.   Their family also sells rouge and powder, and the prices vary, from a few hundred wen to dozens of taels, but he has never heard of hundreds of taels.   After all, for ordinary people, spending one or two taels is already a luxury.   Tang Xi, on the other hand, comes with dozens or even hundreds of taels.   She smiled slightly, "To be honest, I just sold it for more than a thousand taels."   "What?" Chu Tianyou was stunned, "There are really fools who buy it?"   "What do you know?" Tang Xi snorted, "My beauty cream works in three days, it's worth the money, even the prince's wife is using it, and those girls who buy my things are my repeat customers."   "Is it really that effective?" Chu Tianyou was a little skeptical.   Tang Xi looked at him for a moment and smiled, "Wait a moment?"   She followed, picked up a box of beauty cream, opened it and handed it to Chu Tianyou, saying, "Try applying it on the calluses on your hands."   "I'm a grown man, what do I need this for?" Chu Tianyou refused.   Xie Cheng said in a calm voice, "Just apply it if I tell you to, don't talk so much nonsense."   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 327 Definition of Nothingness   "Okay!" If   the ancestors told me to apply it, who would dare to refuse?   So Chu Tianyou took the box of Wanling Flower Cream and applied it on the calluses on his palm.   "Apply it."   After he finished applying it, he hurriedly returned the thing to Tang Xi.   Tang Xi covered it tightly and smiled, "It's for you."   "Really... No need!"   Receiving the cold air from the other side, Chu Tianyou instantly changed the word "ma" to "No need".   "Really?" Tang Xi raised an eyebrow.   "No, no need!" Chu Tianyou laughed, "Give me three boxes of your beauty cream and lip balm each, I will give them to my savior."   "Okay!"   Tang Xi nodded, went back to the house to get three boxes of Wanling Flower Cream and three boxes of lip balm, packed them in a small cloth bag, and felt that it was not good enough, so she took them out and put them on display.   She said to Mo Linglong and others, "I'll go out for a while."   Several people nodded.   "Miss Tang, my things..."   He was leaving now, and he didn't sell his things to him?   Tang Xi: "Wait for me for a while, I'll be back soon."   Xie Cheng didn't say anything and followed her automatically.   But she ran into her own grocery store, and soon she came out holding a few wooden boxes.   "I'll do it."   Xie Cheng stepped forward and helped her take the things. When he saw the back of her hand was frozen red, he frowned instantly.   Tang Xi rubbed her hands and smiled at him. Seeing that she was going to go somewhere else, Xie Cheng frowned a little more.   "You go back and wait for me first, I'll buy something and come back."   As she said, she went into another cloth shop. Xie Cheng did not go back obediently, but stood outside the cloth shop waiting for her.   It snowed all night last night. At this time, a thick layer of snow piled up on the ground. When he stepped on it, it just reached his ankles.   He looked up at the opposite side, but saw that the vermilion tiles of the past had been replaced by white. The cold wind blew, and it was freezing cold. He   remembered that when he was young, after a heavy snowfall, his mother would take him and his sister to the yard to pick ice plums.   The plum blossoms were in full bloom, covered by ice and snow, as translucent as amber. He didn't know how to appreciate them at that time. His mother and sister thought they were beautiful, but he didn't think so.   After his mother passed away and he grew up, he realized that his mother always liked these elegant things.   She was also beautiful and noble, just like these elegant things. She was a person who exuded gentleness from the bones.   No wonder that person would destroy her because of unrequited love.   The pity was that the father who grew up with that person didn't understand until his death why he suffered that disaster when he had been doing good deeds in the past.   In the cold wind, white snow fell from the sky again.   He stacked several wooden boxes together, held them with his left hand, moved the wooden box that was as high as his chin down, and then leaned it against his chest.   He stretched out his other hand and caught two complete snowflakes.   Maybe his mother and sister were kind and gentle people. When he was young, he thought that when he grew up in the future, he would also marry a beautiful, kind and gentle woman like his mother and sister.   Later, when he grew up, he found that there were many gentle girls, but when he met another person who was more beautiful and gentle than her, what appeared on his face was not tolerance and kindness, but ugly jealousy.   He realized that some gentleness was not sincere.   After all, not every girl is kind from the bottom of her heart like his mother and sister.   When he grew up, he felt that he seemed to prefer women like Aunt Yan who dared to love and hate.   However, when that person appeared, he found that all definitions were empty, and the reason why he dared to define was just because he had not met her.   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 328 Miss Ping'er is getting married.   The girl's smiling face appeared in his mind, and the corners of his lips unconsciously outlined a gentle arc.   When Tang Xi came out with a few pieces of pink floral cloth, he happened to see the handsome young man in the snow, staring at the snowflakes in his palm, smiling gently.   The snowflakes had fallen all over him, but he seemed not to notice.   Tang Xi's heart beat a little faster, she didn't want to break this beautiful scene, but there were customers waiting in the shop, so she had to break it cruelly.   "Have you bought it?"   She was about to speak, but Xie Cheng looked up and smiled at him and asked.   "Yes, I bought it!" Tang Xi smiled and walked forward, stood beside him, tilted her head and curved her eyebrows and said: "Let's go, let's go back."   Xie Cheng nodded, and the two walked back in the flying snow, leaving deep and shallow footprints on the snow.   Those snowflakes fell into the footprints, and soon, the footprints were wiped out.   After returning to the shop, Tang Xi put three boxes of beauty cream and three boxes of lip balm into two wooden boxes.   Then she cut two pieces of cloth she had just bought with scissors, wrapped the wooden boxes, and tied a beautiful bow before giving them to Chu Tianyou.   She smiled and said, "Gifts for girls should be more careful."   "Oh?" Chu Tianyou raised his eyebrows and looked at her and said, "Thank you for your teachings, Miss Tang."   "You're welcome!" Tang Xi said and stretched out her hand, "Give me the silver."   Chu Tianyou heard this and hurriedly handed her the prepared silver note, "Five hundred taels, and the extra fifty taels, just as a thank you to Miss Tang for dressing up the boxes so beautifully for me."   Xie Cheng glanced at him and said to Mo Yi, "Mo Yi, take him to the Yanhong Tavern."   "Yes!"   Mo Yi took two steps forward, looking listless, which was not his style.   "What's wrong with him?" Tang Xi was curious.   Xie Cheng sighed slightly and whispered, "Miss Ping'er is getting married."   "What?" Tang Xi was stunned. "She, isn't she in love with Moyi?"   Xie Cheng said in a low voice, "Maybe, everyone has their own ideas."   Tang Xi thought about it and found that although Miss Ping'er was interested in Moyi, every time he approached, she would unconsciously avoid and retreat.   She called Moyi "sir". She said that Moyi was someone close to Xie Cheng, and his status was very different from hers, and they were not the same kind of people.   In Miss Ping'er's opinion, she didn't deserve Moyi's love, even if they loved each other.   It turned out that inferiority complex really makes you miss the one you love.   Why bother? It makes things difficult for yourself and hurts the people who love you.   Tang Xi sighed unconsciously.   Although she didn't like Moyi's temperament in the past, she always felt that he was not calm enough and his words were annoying, but now, she really sympathized with him.   Because, from then on, the person she loved became the bride of another person, and all her past expectations became wishful thinking.   "Xi'er, let's go back to the farm with your father first."   Xia, Old Man Mo, and Tang Zheng came out of the shop.   Tang Xiao didn't come because he had to go to class. Mo Zihan, Mo Zihao, and Mo Ziteng and his sister also came out.   Mo Linglong smiled and said, "I originally thought that you needed help, but now it seems that we can't help much."   Tang Xi raised her eyebrows, "You guys are going back to the farm too?"   "Yes!" Mo Linglong smiled and said, "We have finished shopping on this street in the past two days. Next time we go to the city, you can take us to other streets."   "Okay!" Tang Xi smiled and nodded slightly, "There are also West City Street, East City Street and North City Street. Speaking of which, I haven't been to North City Street yet. When you come next time, we will go together."   Mo Linglong nodded and smiled, "Okay!"   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 329 Try to protect yourself   "City Lord, we'll go back first!" Tang Zheng saluted to Xie Cheng.   Xie Cheng straightened him up and said with a faint smile: "Uncle, you're welcome."   How could he let his future father-in-law bow to him? What if he changes his mind in the future and doesn't want the girl to marry him?   Xia smiled at him and said: "Then we can go!"   It can be seen that the people of the Mo family are really satisfied with Xie Cheng. Even Mr. Mo, who has always been taciturn, whispered goodbye to Xie Cheng. After   seeing Tang Zheng and the people of the Mo family off, the two returned to the shop and sat by the stove.   "Is there something?"   Seeing that he was staring at him intently, Tang Xi hurriedly asked in a low voice.   "Uncle... do you know?"   "Is it about us?" Tang Xi raised an eyebrow and asked.   Xie Cheng nodded slightly, "Yeah."   Tang Xi nodded, "I know, I knew it on the first day."   "So early?" Xie Cheng was surprised, with an imperceptible expectation in his tone, "You said it?"   "No." Tang Xi shook his head, "He was going to see you off, but he saw you holding... so he didn't show up." Xie   Cheng coughed lightly and asked nervously, "Did my uncle say anything to me?"   Did he think he was a pervert and took advantage of the girl?   Tang Xi smiled, "He didn't say anything, just said that you and I are not the same kind of people, and asked me if I had thought it through."   "Then what did you answer?" Xie Cheng was expecting.   Tang Xi smiled, "I said: If you are not the same kind of people, try to make yourself his fellow traveler."   Xie Cheng smiled when he heard it, and raised his hand to gently pat off the remaining snow on her cloak.   He used to be sure that no one in this world could control his emotions, even his closest relatives, and he could control his joys, sorrows, anger and happiness.   But now, it seems that everything is out of control, and his mood will change over and over again because of a little girl.   He would feel happy because of her words, nervous because of her frown, and distressed because of her minor injuries. He   couldn't control this inexplicable emotion, so he could only let it go, and he was happy with it.   Tang Xi couldn't tell the emotions in his heart, but seeing his happy smile, she couldn't help but admire, "Seeing City Lord Xie smile is simply one of the most beautiful things in life!"   Xie Cheng raised his eyebrows, "This beautiful scene in my life is only enjoyed by you, I wonder how you feel?"   Tang Xi chuckled and nodded, "I think it's very good!"   Xie Cheng pinched her face lightly and whispered, "Your skin has become thicker and you can't even see the redness."   Tang Xi slapped his hand away and snorted coldly, "If my face becomes loose one day, it must be because of you."   "How could it be?" Xie Cheng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Miss Tang is a miracle doctor. She can make beauty creams and drugs. How could such an omnipotent Miss Tang let her skin become loose?"   Tang Xi had a faint smile on her lips when she heard that she could make drugs. Her smile froze instantly.   "You - knew that I was the one who drugged you?"   "I didn't know at first, but before I regained consciousness, I vaguely saw you stand up."   Xie Cheng stared at her and said, "Xixi, I don't need you to confess anything to me, nor do I need you to explain how you alone stopped a group of 20 or so ferocious pirates, but I hope you know that you should try your best to keep the secrets that you don't want me or others to know."   　About the update time: Because I don't have any drafts saved, the update time is uncertain. If I can update early, I will definitely update early. Sometimes, if I have something to do, I will update later!   　　   　   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 330 The Sword of Emperor Xi   In addition to being shocked and stunned, Tang Xi also felt an indescribable feeling of being touched.   He clearly knew that she had a secret, but he did not force her to ask from the beginning.   Instead, he kindly reminded her when no one was around.   "My secret..."   She actually didn't know how to explain it to him.   After all, to Xie Cheng, it was like those things that were originally illusory suddenly took shape, which was unbelievable.   "Don't force it."   Xie Cheng gently rubbed her black hair, lowered his head and placed a light kiss on her hair.   "Xixi, if you don't let me know, I don't want to know."   It means that if you are willing to tell me, I will listen, but if you don't want to tell me, then I will pretend that it never happened.   "Acheng," she curled her lips slightly and said with emotion: "Thank you!"   Maybe one day in the future, she will explain to him, or maybe she will never explain.   Xie Cheng smiled slightly, "Little fool, remember to protect yourself!"   He knew that his little girl was not simple from the beginning.   But it's better this way!   In this way, he will know clearly that she is very strong and can protect herself, and he does not have to worry about her getting hurt because of him.   "Didn't you always want to see the sword I mentioned before?"   Tang Xi stood up and took a look outside, then came back and locked the door.   Xie Cheng looked at her suspiciously, but saw her smile slightly, spread her palms, a dragon roar sounded, and then a cold light flashed, and a white long sword was instantly held in her hand.   Xie Cheng was shocked, "Is this... your secret?"   "Yes!" Tang Xi nodded, "I don't know why it happened, but I woke up one day and got this supernatural power."   Xie Cheng had only heard of this kind of thing in storybooks and thought it was made up, but he didn't expect that it also happened in reality, and it was someone close to him.   "This sword..."   Xie Cheng's outstretched hand suddenly paused. He was stunned for a while, and suddenly smiled after a while.   Tang Xi looked at him in confusion, "What's wrong?"   "This cold is blocking me." He smiled and said, "Perhaps, only you can touch it."   He just raised his head and was bounced back by an invisible force. The sword was rejecting his approach.   "Really?" Tang Xi was surprised.   The system's voice suddenly rang in his mind: "After the Qianye Sword recognizes its master, no one can touch it, otherwise..."   "Otherwise?" Tang Xi was curious.   System: "The lighter ones will be frozen into popsicles, and the heavier ones will be directly turned into ice chips."   Tang Xi exclaimed: "It's so dangerous!"   "What danger?" Xie Cheng looked at her in confusion.   Tang Xi was stunned. He didn't expect that he would say what was in his mind. He hurriedly explained, "Oh, I mean this sword is very dangerous."   Xie Cheng nodded, "It is very dangerous, but it is good this way, to avoid those who covet it."   His eyes fell on the hilt with the silver dragon circling around it. He felt as if he had seen it somewhere before, and hurriedly asked, "I wonder if this sword is famous?"   Tang Xi: "Qianye Sword."   "Qianye Sword!" Xie Cheng was shocked, "No wonder I felt like I had seen it before."   "Familiar?" Tang Xi was surprised, "Have you seen this sword?"   "Yes." Xie Cheng nodded, "Qianye Sword is the sword held by Emperor Yan, the founder of Canglan Country. It is said that this sword was originally a white dragon. It was saved by Emperor Yan because it was injured. In order to repay the favor, it turned into Qianye Sword and protected Emperor Yan, helping her to overcome all obstacles along the way and eventually ascend the throne, becoming the first empress in the history of Canglan Country, and the only empress so far."   (End of this chapter)
