Chapter 41 Wanling Grass   Tang Xi finished her breakfast with her eyes half open, and then went back to her room to sleep.   She didn't get up until noon.   The weather in Beisang City this year was very hot and humid. She didn't feel much when she lived in Ji's house a few days ago because there were ice cubes in the house. Now, the feeling of heat is very obvious.   Not only her forehead, but also her back and hair were soaked. She   went into the space to wash up and came out again.   Because the weather was too hot, she had no appetite, so she let Tang Zheng and Tang Xiao eat. She went back to the room to escape the heat and picked the medicinal herbs planted in the space to dry.   With the spiritual spring in the space, it doesn't take much trouble to prepare medicinal herbs. After washing, just soak them in the spiritual spring and then dry them.   There are many kinds of medicines in it, such as ginseng, honeysuckle, wolfberry, angelica, codonopsis, astragalus, angelica, etc. There are common and uncommon ones.   There are also some that Tang Xi has never heard of, such as this Wanling flower and Ningshen grass.   The main effect of Wanling flower is beauty and anti-aging. It can be made into a paste and applied to the face. The effect will be seen in three days.   Ningshen grass has the effect of calming the mind, helping sleep, and detoxifying.   The effect of this Wanling flower is definitely to make money. If you make thousands of jars and sell them, it will be difficult not to make a fortune.   Women of all ages have a heart for beauty, especially women with status.   In this era when men can have three wives and four concubines, there are only two ways for women to capture men's hearts. One is talent and the other is beauty.   Of course, in this era when women are virtuous without talent, the latter can capture men's hearts more.   The more Tang Xi thought about it, the thicker the smile in her eyes became. She seemed to have seen herself making a fortune every day.   She held the Wanling flower and whispered, "Wanling flower must be planted on a large scale."   As she said that, she got up and got busy again. After planting the Wanling flower, she took out the Qianye sword and practiced swordsmanship.   Money must be made, swordsmanship must be practiced, and Qinggong must be acquired as soon as possible.   In this chaotic era, she dared not go far without some life-saving skills.   As dusk approached, an unexpected guest came to the inn.   Looking at Xie Cheng in front of her, Tang Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, "Why is City Lord Xie here?"   "I came to inform you." Xie Cheng looked at her and said, "I'm leaving tonight, pack up early, and I'll come to pick you up later." "   Ah?" Tang Xi was stunned, "Didn't you say you would leave in two days? Why are you leaving tonight?"   Xie Cheng said, "To prevent accidents, I'm leaving early."   "Okay." Tang Xi nodded, "I see."   Xie Cheng nodded and left the inn expressionlessly.   Tang Xi crossed her arms and looked at his slender back as he left.   Xie Cheng was definitely the most handsome man she had ever seen, with a good figure and good looks. If he were an idol in modern times, I don't know how many female fans would spend all their money on him and stay up all night to vote for him.   However, Xie Cheng in this era was not bad. He became the city lord at a young age, with a noble status, both talented and beautiful, and both civil and military skills. Such a man should be very popular in any era.   However, with Xie Cheng's indifferent personality, he would be like a refrigerator when he stood there, with cold air whizzing out. Even if the girls wanted to, they would not dare to get close to him, right?   "Axi, does that young man want to see you for something?" Tang Zheng pulled Tang Xiao forward and asked.   "Yes." Tang Xi looked at him and said, "Wash and pack early, we will leave tonight."   "So hurried?" Tang Zheng was surprised, "Didn't you say it would take two days?"   Tang Xi said, "It was said that we would leave early to prevent accidents."   "Sister, where are we going?" Tang Xiao was curious.   Tang Xi rubbed his head and said, "To a place where we can continue to live."   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 42 Carriage   "Are you really not planning to stay for two more days?"   At the gate of Ji's house, Ji Changan led the Ji family out to see him off.   Xie Cheng did not speak, while Lu Huai said, "If I stay any longer, my lovesickness will become even worse."   His beloved wife was still in Hanshui City, so he could not stay for too long.   Ji Changan nodded, looked at him and said, "You must remember to come back to the capital often. After all, you are not a live-in son-in-law. Don't stay in Hanshui City all the time, or your aunt will be unhappy."   Lu Huai said unhappily after hearing this, "The old lady is sick, and we, as the younger generation, can go back to pay our respects for two or three months, so what?"   Ji Changan smiled gently, "I was just talking."   Lu Huai raised his eyebrows, "I'm afraid it's not that my aunt said something again?"   Ji Changan shook his head, "She didn't say anything, just that my aunt is alone in the capital and misses you a little."   Lu Huai sneered at the words, "How can she be alone? Where's Lu Bei? And Lu Xin? Are they all dead?"   Ji Changan said, "My cousin likes to go out to attend girls' parties and is often not there. My cousin follows the marquis to take care of affairs. The others are separated from my aunt by a belly, and they are close on the surface but not in private."   Lu Huai shook his head, "My younger sister just likes to appreciate flowers and the moon. If she has that time, she might as well accompany mother and talk."   "Little girl," Ji Changan said softly, "It's normal to like these."   Lu Huai snorted, "No more talking, let's go first."   Ji Changan nodded, looked at Xie Cheng and said, "Have a nice trip."   Xie Cheng nodded slightly, "Let's go."   He said, and got on the carriage first.   Ji Changjin waved to Lu Huai and said with a smile, "Goodbye, cousin, remember to come often!"   Lu Huai raised his eyebrows, "You still come often, every time you come, you cheat me out of a lot of money, I dare not come."   Ji Changjin stuck out his tongue, "If you don't come, who will give me money to buy jewelry?"   Lu Huai smiled helplessly, waved at them, "Let's go."   Sun Wei nodded, "Have a good time, prince."   "I always feel that this is not right."   Lu Huai muttered and shook his head, and hurriedly climbed onto the carriage.   Xie Cheng told the coachman of another carriage where Tang Xi was staying. The coachman understood and drove the carriage away from Ji's house.   Tang Xi packed up the gifts early and led Tang Zheng and Tang Xiao to wait downstairs of the inn.   While she was in a daze, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from outside the door.   "Eh~"   The driver reined in the horse, stopped the carriage outside the door, then jumped off the carriage and walked into the inn.   He looked at Tang Xi and bowed, "Excuse me, are you Miss Tang?"   "Yes!" Tang Xi looked outside the door, but didn't see anyone else, so she frowned.   The driver said, "The city lord will go to the city gate first and wait, and let me pick up the girl."   Tang Xi nodded, "Let's go."   Hearing this, the driver hurriedly made a gesture of invitation and said respectfully, "Miss Tang, please!"   Tang Xi nodded again and hurriedly led Tang Xiao and Tang Zheng onto the carriage.   On the way to the city gate, Tang Xiao whispered to Tang Xi, "Sister, this carriage runs really fast, much faster than our Dahei!"   Dahei is their family's cow, but after coming to Beisang City, it was sold by Liu.   "That's right!" Tang Xi said, "When sister has money in the future, she will buy a carriage for our family."   "Really?" Tang Xiao's eyes sparkled, "Will sister buy a carriage?"   "Really." Tang Xi assured him, "One day I will buy one, and sister will hire a driver, so you and father can go wherever you want."   "Great!" Tang Xiao clapped his hands excitedly and cheered, "Don't worry, sister, I will feed the horse well and won't let it starve like Dahei."   That happy and bright little look made Tang Xi want to buy him a horse right now.   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 43: No Habit of Taking Concubines   "Here they come!"   Lu Huai was leaning against the carriage in a daze. He couldn't help but stick his head out and smiled when he heard the sound of horse hooves approaching.   Xie Cheng's eyelids moved slightly, but he didn't say anything until the carriage stopped beside him. He then lifted the curtain and said, "It will take a month to get to Hanshui City from here."   When Tang Xi heard his voice, she hurriedly lifted the curtain. Under the light, her round little head poked out. She smiled with curved eyebrows and said, "Thank you very much for the city lord's concern."   Xie Cheng coughed lightly, lowered the curtain and said to the driver, "Let's go."   The driver responded and hurriedly started to drive out of the city.   Lu Huai looked at him with a smile on his face for a long time, then he sighed, "Are you interested in that little girl?"   "You think too much."   Xie Cheng said, and closed his eyes.   Lu Huai was not ready to let him go, and continued: "You still refuse to admit that you are hypocritical. There is nothing wrong with Miss Tang except that she is younger. Well, of course, although her status is lower, it is okay to stay with her as a concubine."   Xie Cheng suddenly opened his eyes when he heard this, frowned and looked at him, and said in a serious tone: "My Xie family does not have the habit of taking concubines. If you have such an idea, I will let my sister divorce you immediately."   "I'm joking." Lu Huai immediately sat up straight and said in a serious voice: "Miss Tang doesn't look like she is willing to be a concubine."   Xie Cheng glanced at him coldly and closed his eyes again without saying anything.   Lu Huai secretly breathed a sigh of relief. How could he forget that his brother-in-law couldn't stand hearing such talk about taking concubines.   The sons of the Xie family can only marry one wife in their lifetime, and they will never leave her.   Xie Cheng has always been clean and self-disciplined. There is not even a maidservant serving him. There has always been only Mo Yi and a few servants.   "Sister, the one who just spoke was the big brother today, right? Where are we going with him?" Tang Xiao's wet eyes were full of doubts.   Tang Xi nodded, "Yes, it's him, we are going to follow him to Hanshui City."   "Is Hanshui City far?" Tang Xiao asked again.   "It's far, it will take a month." Tang Xi looked at him and said, "So, Xiao, go to bed quickly, so that you can have the energy to continue on the road." Tang   Xiao frowned and said with embarrassment, "But, I don't want to sleep yet." It was   his first time riding in a carriage, and he was so happy that he didn't feel sleepy at all.   Tang Xi smiled and didn't say anything more. She just let him chatter all the way, and she patiently answered them one by one.   At some point, the sound in the carriage gradually disappeared, and only a faint snoring was heard in the end.   The carriage was very large, enough to accommodate six people, and there was also a teapot, snacks, and a small couch.   Tang Zheng let Tang Xiao lie on the small couch, and he and Tang Xi sat on a futon on one side, leaning against the carriage and closing their eyes to rest.   Tang Xi slightly opened her eyes when she heard the snoring from the other side. She was not sleepy, but she did not dare to enter the space, so she could only stare blankly with her eyes down.   Tonight is the sixteenth night, and the moon outside the window is particularly round. The clear light leaks in from the curtains, injecting a ray of light into the darkness.   Tang Xi stared at the light in a trance. She didn't know when she gradually felt sleepy, and soon she fell into a dream.   When she woke up again, the carriage was still moving, and the trees outside the window kept moving backwards. There was basically no one on the road except their carriage.   It was not until noon that the carriage stopped in front of a dilapidated temple.   As soon as Tang Xi lifted the curtains, she saw Xie Cheng coming over and said in a light voice: "Have lunch first and then continue on your journey."   "Okay!" Tang Xi nodded at him with a curved eyebrow.   Xie Cheng looked at her deeply, then turned and entered the dilapidated temple without saying a word.   (End of this chapter)

Chapter 44 Concern   "Morning, Miss Tang." Lu Huai walked over with his teeth bared.   Tang Xi nodded, "Hello, Prince, it's getting late."   "Oh, yeah." Lu Huai smiled disapprovingly, "It's hot in the carriage, you should get off earlier, otherwise you'll get suffocated."   Tang Xi nodded, turned her head to look at Tang Zheng and Tang Xiao who were still in a daze, and chuckled, "Dad, Xiao, it's time to get off."   "Sister, are we there yet?" Tang Xiao asked.   "Not yet." Tang Xi said, "Let's rest in the ruined temple for a while, and continue our journey later."   "Oh." Tang Xiao nodded blankly.   Tang Zheng wiped his sweat, "It's too hot today, let's get off quickly."   Tang Xi nodded, she lifted the curtain and got off the car first, then carried Tang Xiao down, and Tang Zheng got off behind them.   As soon as they entered the ruined temple, someone brought them tea.   Tang Xi thanked them, then looked at Xie Cheng and Lu Huai and said, "Is Hanshui City so hot?"   "No." Lu Huai said, "Hanshui City is definitely worthy of its name."   "Is it very cold?" Tang Xi asked again.   "It's quite cold." Lu Huai said, "It's already cold in this season."   "I'd rather be cold."   She really didn't like hot days, especially this kind of sultry day.   "Miss Tang, here."   The driver brought a big pancake and handed it to Tang Xi.   Tang Xi thanked him before taking it. Over there, the driver gave one to Tang Zheng and Tang Xiao each.   "They are all coarse grains, are you used to it?" As soon as   Xie Cheng said this, the pancake in Lu Huai's hand almost fell to the ground.   He opened his eyes wide and stared at Xie Cheng blankly, even forgetting to swallow the pancake in his mouth.   Tang Xi didn't react much. She smiled at Xie Cheng and said, "As long as we can fill our stomachs, we won't be picky."   Xie Cheng hummed lightly, then took the pancake and ate it elegantly.   Lu Huai swallowed the food in his mouth with difficulty, and took another big bite, but his eyes were still fixed on Xie Cheng.   Xie Cheng ignored him and ate the pancake with tea.   Tang Xi admired his eating style and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. It was really pleasing to watch a handsome man eat.   As if he noticed her gaze, Xie Cheng raised his eyes leisurely, looked directly at her and asked: "Mine tastes better?"   Tang Xi blinked, smiled without avoiding his gaze and said: "Maybe."   Xie Cheng looked down at the remaining pancake, then looked up at the pancake in Tang Xi's hand that she had just taken two bites of, and asked in a calm voice: "Do you want to change?" Tang   Xi was stunned, then shook her head and said: "No, if you don't have enough, I'll give you mine."   As she said, she tore off the part she had bitten with her hands and handed it to him.   Xie Cheng didn't take it, staring at her and said in a low voice: "You don't like to eat this."   Tang Xi didn't hide it from him, "I don't like to eat coarse grains."   It was a little hard to swallow, but when there was no choice, you still had to eat it. After all, filling your stomach is much better than starving to death.   Hearing this, Xie Cheng said in a low voice: "But we only prepared this."   When they came, they were all big and strong men, and they ate coarse grains, so they didn't care so much.   "It doesn't matter, I have prepared it myself."   Tang Xi got up and left the ruined temple, climbed onto the carriage, and when she came back, there was an extra bag of things in her arms.   She took out the rose shortbread from the cloth bag and first gave it to Tang Zheng and Tang Xiao. She took a few more for herself, and gave the rest to Xie Cheng.   "I made the rose shortbread myself, you try it."   "No need." Xie Cheng tied the cloth bag and put it back in her hand, "You are not used to coarse grains, you can keep this for the road."   The tone was still cold, but with a hint of concern.   Lu Huai felt that not only his ears were going deaf, but his eyes were also going blind.   Xie Cheng cares about others. Xie Cheng actually cares about others!   He must be too hungry so he has hallucinations. How could such a cold Xie Cheng care about others?   (End of this chapter)

Chapter 45 Transformation   Tang Xi gave three to Lu Huai, who shook his head. She then gave them to the others, but no one was willing to take them.   Xie Cheng refused to take them, and the others didn't dare to take them even if they wanted to.   Although Tang Xi was helpless, she didn't force it.   She prepared this rose pastry the night before. Except for the flour, which was bought outside, the rest of the ingredients were from the space.   She had a wide range of interests in her previous life, especially in food. She was a good cook, and the pastries she made were also okay, at least better than this pancake.   Tang Zheng and Tang Xiao knew that she borrowed the kitchen of the inn to make rose pastries, so they were not surprised to see her take out rose pastries.   "Do you want to eat that?"   Xie Cheng pointed at the remaining pancake in her hand and asked.   "No." Tang Xi shook her head, "Do you want it?"   Xie Cheng said, "There is still a month's journey, don't waste food."   "Okay, then I..."   Before she finished speaking, Xie Cheng had already reached out and took the pancake, then opened his mouth and bit off a piece, chewing silently.   The water bag in Lu Huai's hand fell to the ground with a "pop".   Xie Cheng not only cares about others, he also eats other people's leftovers, and the most terrifying thing is that the other person is a girl.   The fact that Xie Cheng is not interested in women is probably known throughout Canglan Country.   Who doesn't have many wives and concubines at his age? Only Xie Cheng is still alone.   If he wants to marry, let alone others, he can marry even a princess or a county lord, but he doesn't like anyone.   "Prince, are you okay?" Tang Xi asked in a low voice.   "Ah?" Lu Huai came back to his senses, hurriedly picked up the water bag, patted the dust on it, and laughed: "Maybe I've been hungry for too long, and I can't even hold the bag of water."   Tang Xi chuckled, "Then remember to eat more."   Xie Cheng's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't speak.   Over there, Tang Xiao, who had just finished eating the pastry, came over and timidly glanced at Xie Cheng and Lu Huai before pulling Tang Xi's sleeve and whispering, "Sister, I'm thirsty."   "Thirsty?" Tang Xi stood up and held his hand and said, "Come on, sister will take you to drink some water."   Tang Xiao nodded. He liked to drink the water that sister gave him. It was sweet and delicious, better than ordinary water.   So, in the following days, Lu Huai and Xie Cheng witnessed the changes in Tang Xiao and Tang Zheng with their own eyes, and finally understood why Ji Changan was so surprised at that time.   They were traveling on the road in a dusty and displaced manner. Not only did they lose weight, but they all looked very tired. However, Tang Xi's family of three not only did not lose weight, but they also became more energetic.   Look at Tang Xiao's little appearance. He was thin and small before, but now he is white and rosy, with a pink face. When his pair of innocent big round eyes look at others, they are always wet, which makes people like him.   At the gate of Xie's house, Lu Huai stared at Tang Xi's family and muttered, "Did they take some magic medicine?"   Unexpectedly, Xie Cheng said coldly, "Sun-loving and sun-resistant."   Uh... why does this sound familiar?   Lu Huai was stunned, and suddenly remembered that this was what he said to Ji Changan at that time?   Damn the sun-loving and sun-resistant, this is simply a transformation, okay?   He saw with his own eyes that the two skinny people were getting whiter and fatter day by day, while the people on their side were getting darker and thinner day by day. This contrast made him doubt whether Tang Xi's family really had some magic medicine.   (End of this chapter)

Chapter 46 Friends   Compared to Beisang City, Hanshui City is indeed much larger. Even Xie Mansion looks bigger and more imposing than Ji Mansion.   Tang Zheng and Tang Xiao had never been to such a mansion before, and both of them seemed a little reserved.   From the moment Tang Xiao entered the door, he had been pulling Tang Xi's sleeve and walking beside her, while Tang Zheng walked carefully beside Tang Xiao. After   entering Xie Mansion, Xie Cheng asked someone to arrange Tang Zheng and Tang Xiao first, and he led Tang Xi to Changshou Garden.   Lu Huai followed Tang Xi and asked in a low voice: "Miss Tang, do you have any beauty pills?"   Tang Xi raised her eyebrows, "Why do you ask that?"   Lu Huai said: "Just tell me if you have it."   "Why, do you want it?" Tang Xi asked.   "It's not that I want it." Lu Huai said with a smile: "I didn't have time to buy a gift for my wife when I came back this time. If you have any, can you give me some? The price is negotiable."   "Well..." Tang Xi pondered: "It's okay, but a small bottle costs... so much!"   She said, holding up five fingers.   Lu Huai pointed his fingers and asked tentatively: "Five hundred taels?"   Tang Xi shook her head, "It's fifty taels."   She fumbled around in her wide sleeves, then took out a small box of things and handed it to Lu Huai, saying: "Here."   Lu Huai took it and said in surprise: "This little, can it be effective?"   "Don't doubt it." Tang Xi said confidently: "It will work in three days. If it doesn't work, come to me."   "Okay." Lu Huai put the things away, took out his purse, took out a fifty-tael silver note and handed it to her.   Tang Xi was in a particularly good mood as she made a fortune as soon as she entered the door, and the smile in her eyes became even stronger.   Xie Cheng glanced at the two of them indifferently, and entered Changshou Garden without saying a word.   Since Old Lady Xie fell ill, she didn't like to make noise, so there weren't many people serving her. Apart from a personal nanny and two maids serving tea and water, there were basically no people in the yard.   "The city lord and the prince are back!" Nanny Jiang, who came out with a basin of water, was delighted.   Lu Huai greeted with a smile, "Hello, Madam Jiang!"   Madam Jiang bowed with a smile, "This old servant greets the young master!"   Xie Cheng nodded at her, "How is grandma?"   Madam Jiang shook her head and said solemnly, "The old lady hasn't been sleeping well recently. Yesterday, the old master invited the imperial physician to see her, but he said that her condition is a little worse than before."   "Imperial physician?" Xie Cheng frowned, "From the Anyang Palace?"   "Yes!" Madam Jiang said, "In our Hanshui City, only the Anyang Palace has an imperial physician."   Xie Cheng nodded, "Has grandma gone to bed?"   "Just went to bed." Madam Jiang sighed lightly, "She has coughed up blood more severely in the past two days. She has coughed up blood three times in this month."   "So serious?" Lu Huai said solemnly, "Didn't she cough up blood before?"   "Yes, but she started coughing up blood this month." Nanny Jiang sighed heavily, "The imperial physician has prescribed some medicine, saying how long she can last depends on the old lady's luck."   Tang Xi was silent for a while, took two steps forward, and said to Xie Cheng, "Take me in to have a look."   "Uh..." Nanny Jiang was stunned, as if she had just noticed Tang Xi. She looked at Xie Cheng puzzledly and said, "City Lord, who is this girl?"   Xie Cheng said, "A friend."   "Friend?" Nanny Jiang was startled.   She was very surprised that Xie Cheng suddenly had a friend of the opposite sex.   Tang Xi was also surprised. She didn't expect that Xie Cheng actually regarded her as a friend.   (End of this chapter)

Chapter 47 Follow me closely   "Cough cough - cough cough cough -"   Just as the few people were silent, a violent cough suddenly came from the room.   Nanny Jiang's face changed, "The old lady has woken up, I have to go back to see her."   After that, she didn't care about etiquette and walked in quickly.   Xie Cheng's eyes darkened, and his fists clenched unconsciously. He looked back at Tang Xi and said, "Let's go."   Tang Xi nodded and followed him in.   Lu Huai followed with big strides, his expression was much more solemn than before.   "Nanny Jiang, grandma is coughing up blood again!"   Xie Ling in the room ran out anxiously, but her beautiful eyes were filled with tears.   "A Ling!"   Lu Huai walked forward and shouted with a distressed face.   "A Sister." Xie Cheng also shouted faintly.   "Prince! A Cheng!" Xie Ling was instantly filled with mixed feelings. She held one hand and cried, "You are finally back. Grandma has been talking about you these two days."   Lu Huai wiped her tears with distress.   Xie Cheng pulled his hand back, turned around and said to Tang Xi who was lagging behind: "Follow me closely."   Tang Xi smiled at him and trotted after him.   "I'll go in first."   Xie Cheng said, and then took Tang Xi in first.   Xie Ling stared blankly at Tang Xi who was following Xie Cheng, and after a long while he looked at Lu Huai and asked: "Who is that girl?"   Lu Huai said: "This is a long story, I will tell you in detail later, let's go in and take a look first."   He really wanted to see Tang Xi's medical skills, whether it was as good as he imagined.   When Tang Xi entered the door, he saw a skinny old man holding his chest and gasping, while Aunt Jiang kept helping her breathe.   The old woman raised her head, and when she saw Xie Cheng coming in, her cloudy eyes lit up instantly, and she raised her lips slightly and said, "Is Ah Cheng back?"   "Yes!" Xie Cheng stepped forward, held the old woman's hand and said, "Grandma, I'm back to see you."   His voice was as cold and indifferent as always, but Tang Xi could faintly feel that it seemed to be a little more hoarse than before.   "I'm glad you're back!" The old woman said weakly, "Grandma won't be able to hold on for much longer, and you're not too young anymore, it's time to get married." As   the old woman spoke, she coughed a few more times, and said with tears in her eyes, "I think Princess Hanrong is good, she's two years younger than you, and the Anyang Palace and our Xie Palace have a good relationship. The child came to see me two days ago and asked me about your whereabouts. I can see that she has feelings for you."   She spoke a long paragraph in one breath, and coughed several times with a handkerchief covering her mouth.   Xie Cheng did not speak, but said in a calm voice: "Grandma, don't worry, I will find someone to cure your illness."   A flash of disappointment flashed across the old lady's eyes. It was obvious that her grandson had no interest in the girl.   Alas, the flowers were willing but the water was ruthless. It was a pity for such a good child.   Xie Cheng stood up and turned back, nodding slightly to Tang Xi.   Tang Xi nodded, stepped forward and saluted, saying: "My daughter Tang Xi, meet old lady Xie."   The old lady's originally lost expression, after seeing Tang Xi, she instantly became happy. She was so excited that she coughed a few times.   "Don't be excited, old lady!" Tang Xi hurried forward, took her hand and took her pulse.   Aunt Jiang and old lady Xie were stunned by her action at the same time, and looked at Xie Cheng at the same time.   Xie Cheng stared at Tang Xi's expression, clenched his fists and said nothing.   Xie Ling and Lu Huai walked in one after another. When she saw the scene in front of her, she couldn't help but be stunned.   Tang Xi, a little girl, was actually sitting in front of the couch feeling her grandmother's pulse. This scene was a little funny no matter how you looked at it.   (End of this chapter)

Chapter 48 Wait and see   "How?"   As soon as Tang Xi let go of her hand, Xie Cheng couldn't wait to ask.   Tang Xi smiled at him and said, "Give me some time to prepare."   "What does this mean?" Lu Huai also asked nervously.   Tang Xi smiled at them, "Don't worry too much, I can cure it."   Somehow, Xie Cheng felt relieved when he heard her say this.   "What do you mean by curable?" Xie Ling was a little dazed.   Nanny Jiang and Old Lady Xie looked at each other, they didn't seem to understand.   "I'm talking about the old lady's illness." Tang Xi stood up and said, "The old lady has not been getting enough sleep recently, and her body is a little weak. She needs to be properly supplemented."   "What do you need?" Xie Cheng asked.   "Leave it to me." Tang Xi smiled and said, "I'll take charge."   Xie Cheng raised the corner of his lips slightly, "Okay!"   When Old Lady Xie saw this scene, her eyes became brighter, and her eyes looking at Tang Xi were full of joy and love, so much so that she forgot to ask what they were talking about.   Xie Ling looked at Lu Huai and asked in a trembling voice, "Is what the girl said true?"   "I can only wait and see." Lu Huai smiled at her.   After all, after a month of getting along, he felt that Tang Xi, apart from teasing Xie Cheng, was not a liar.   Xie Ling was stunned again. When everyone in the room reacted, Xie Cheng had already taken Tang Xi out.   "I need a temporary private kitchen." Tang Xi said as they walked, "I'll write you a few prescriptions later, and you can have someone get the medicine according to the contents above."   Xie Cheng nodded, "What else do you need?"   "Uh... let me think about it!"   Tang Xi tapped her cheeks with her fingers, and shook her head for a long time, "These are all I need for now."   Xie Cheng nodded, "I'll have someone prepare it right away."   "Hey!" Seeing that he was about to leave, Tang Xi hurriedly reached out and pulled him back, with an innocent expression, "Then what should I do? I'm not from your house, I will get lost."   Xie Cheng looked at the slender little hand holding his sleeve, and looked up at her for a long time and said, "I'll take you to my yard to rest first."   "Your yard?" Tang Xi raised his eyebrows.   Xie Cheng explained, "My yard is closer to here."   Tang Xi shook her head, "I have to go back to get my silver needles. I have to give acupuncture to the old lady tonight. How can I do it without silver needles?"   She didn't have anything on her now. If she took out some things out of thin air, she would be burned to death as a monster.   Xie Cheng hesitated and said, "Shall I take you back to get your things first?"   Tang Xi nodded and smiled, "Yes!"   As soon as they left, they saw several maids coming out with shocked faces.   "Did the little girl just pull the sleeve of the city lord?" someone asked.   Someone else asked, "The little girl seemed to be acting coquettishly?"   The others nodded at the same time, and someone said in a trance, "The city lord neither pushed her away nor turned around and left."   Such a city lord made them feel so strange!   ————   After dinner, Tang Xi talked to Tang Zheng for a few words, then took her own gifts and followed Nanny Jiang to Changshou Garden.   On the way, Nanny Jiang couldn't help but sneak a glance at Tang Xi.   The prince said that this little girl had excellent medical skills and was better than the old doctors who had been practicing medicine for decades, but she still didn't quite believe it.   How old is Tang Xi? She looks only thirteen or fourteen years old. Can she read as many medical books as the old doctors?   However, it's useless for her not to believe it, mainly because the city lord believes it!   She didn't know what the city lord was thinking, actually handing the old lady's life to a little girl. Could it be that he was desperate and tried any possible means?   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 49: Master's Medicinal Porridge   No matter how worried Nanny Jiang was, Tang Xi still moved into Changshou Garden.   "Miss Tang, what are you doing?"   Nanny Jiang was a little curious when she saw Tang Xi picking herbs and washing rice after entering the kitchen.   Tang Xi said, "Cooking medicinal food for the old lady."   "Cooking medicinal food?" Nanny Jiang frowned, "Isn't the old lady eating medicinal food?"   Tang Xi smiled, "That was cooked by others, and this is cooked by me, so it's naturally different."   "Really?" Nanny Jiang smiled.   Tang Xi nodded and said calmly, "Yes, this is my master's secret recipe, which my master taught me before he died."   Upon hearing this, Nanny Jiang took two steps closer, ready to learn and use it in the future.   Tang Xi paused while washing rice, and looked at her hesitantly, "Uh... Madam Jiang, can you help me wait at the door? I'm making the medicinal porridge taught by my master, and it's not convenient for others to see."   "Oh!"   Madam Jiang responded angrily, and then slowly walked to the door to wait.   Tang Xi smiled silently at her back. It was not that she was unwilling to teach, but that she was cooking ordinary medicinal porridge, but added the juice of the tranquilizing grass to it.   She didn't dare to put the spiritual spring directly, because she was afraid of arousing suspicion with the overbearing healing properties of the spiritual spring.   The tranquilizing grass itself has a faint fragrance. Now that it is cooked in the porridge, the fragrance is even stronger than before. This fragrance actually suppresses the smell of other medicinal materials, leaving only the smell of the tranquilizing grass and the porridge itself.   Madam Jiang, who was guarding the door, swallowed unconsciously when she smelled the fragrance.   "Cheng..."   As soon as Xie Cheng arrived, Madam Jiang just called out the word "Cheng", and he shook his head faintly.   Nanny Jiang smiled knowingly and said nothing more.   Tang Xi was so focused on stirring the porridge in the casserole that she didn't notice Xie Cheng's arrival at all.   Xie Cheng pointed to the direction of the main house to Nanny Jiang. Nanny Jiang understood, bowed, and then left with light steps, suppressing her smile.   The city lord would also give people a surprise. She had to tell the old lady so that she could also have some fun.   "It's done!"   Others would take at least half an hour to cook the medicinal porridge, but she had the juice of the tranquilizing grass, so she only cooked it for two quarters of an hour.   "Good cooking."   The cold voice suddenly sounded, and Tang Xi was so scared that the spoon in her hand almost fell to the ground.   She came back to her senses in astonishment, stared at him and said, "When did you come?"   Xie Cheng looked at her and said in a calm voice, "When you finished cooking."   Tang Xi covered her chest and took a breath, "Can you make a sound next time you come?"   Xie Cheng looked at her and said, "Oh.   " Somehow, Tang Xi felt that the look he gave her was a little innocent.   "The porridge is ready." She said, "I added some calming herbs in it. Can you bring it over?"   "Yes."   Xie Cheng responded and was about to take it. Tang Xi was startled and quickly stretched out her hand to grab his wrist, staring and said, "What are you doing?"   Xie Cheng looked at her suspiciously, "Bring the porridge."   Didn't she ask him to bring it?   "Are you stupid?" Tang Xi was speechless, "The porridge has just come out of the stove. If you take it directly like this, you will get burned."   Xie Cheng was not angry after being scolded, but took the protective gloves beside him and put them on, then brought the porridge and went out without saying a word.   "Uh... are you angry?" Tang Xi muttered.   Unexpectedly, Xie Cheng, who was halfway through, turned back and said, "Aren't you going to follow me?"   Tang Xi suddenly looked up, and their eyes met in the air. Xie Cheng's expression did not change at all, but Tang Xi smiled brightly.   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 50 Calling Grandfather   Xie Cheng was dazzled by her smile, and quickly looked away, saying in a low voice: "Let's go."   "Okay!" Tang Xi took off her gloves and trotted after her.   When Tang Xi arrived at the door, she saw that there were only Lu Huai and his wife and a sixty-year-old man in the room, and Nanny Jiang and Old Lady Xie were not there.   "What smells so good?"   As soon as Xie Cheng entered the door, the old lady asked with her neck stretched out.   "Grandfather."   Xie Cheng put the porridge on the table and called out.   "You kid," the old man laughed, "I heard that you brought back a granddaughter-in-law who knows medicine for your grandfather. Is it true?"   Tang Xi, who had just entered the door, almost tripped over the threshold. If Xie Cheng hadn't dodged quickly and caught her, she would have fallen to the ground.   "Thank you very much!"   Tang Xi smiled awkwardly, then stepped forward and saluted the old man who looked like he was watching a show, "My daughter Tang Xi, meet the old man!"   "What old man?" The old man smiled and said, "Call me grandpa."   Tang Xi glanced at Xie Cheng, and her expression became even more embarrassed.   Lu Huai's shoulders were shaking from trying to hold back his laughter, and Xie Ling patted him in a stern manner, but the corners of her lips curled unconsciously.   She was naturally happy that her younger brother could come to her senses.   Xie Cheng coughed lightly and explained, "She was invited by the grandson to treat the grandmother's illness, not your granddaughter-in-law."   "Ah? Isn't it?" Old Master Xie frowned, and said with a look of regret, "You don't even like such a good girl, are you looking for a god in the sky?"   Xie Cheng was helpless, "Grandfather, stop joking."   The old man snorted coldly, "You are a cold-hearted person."   Cold-hearted?   Tang Xi's embarrassment disappeared after hearing this, and she pursed her lips and tried to hold back her smile.   "Where's grandma?" Xie Cheng asked.   Xie Ling smiled and said, "I'm going to wash up and will be back soon."   "What is this and why does it smell so good?" Lu Huai asked, staring at the covered casserole.   Tang Xi said, "My lord, this is the medicinal porridge I made for the old lady."   "Medicinal porridge?" Lu Huai was surprised, "Then why can't you smell the Chinese medicine?"   Tang Xi smiled and said, "I have my own way of dealing with it."   "It makes me hungry just by smelling it." Old Master Xie laughed and said, "Can ordinary people eat it?"   "It should be possible." Tang Xi said, "There is quite a lot in this pot. The old lady should not be too full. You can have a bowl to try."   "Really?" Old Master Xie's eyes lit up, "Come on, get another bowl. I want to try the porridge cooked by my granddaughter-in-law."   Tang Xi:...   "Grandfather." Xie Cheng called out lightly.   "Okay, okay, okay." Old Master Xie said, "I won't shout anymore. With your appearance, the little girl may not look down on you."   "No, no, no, City Lord Xie is a very good one." Tang Xi waved her hands repeatedly, looked at Xie Cheng and smiled, "It's just that we are really just friends."   "Friends?" Old Master Xie nodded, "Well."   He looked at Tang Xi for a long time before smiling, "Little girl, you don't have any child marriage or anything like that, right?"   "It should be... no, right?" Tang Xi answered hesitantly.   "Oh, that's great!" Old Master Xie clapped his thighs and said, "I have an adopted grandson, he is a good guy, about the same age as our Leng Mu, although he is not as good-looking as him, he is very hardworking, would you like to consider it?"   Xie Cheng said in a calm voice, "Lu Bei will be married in the new year."   "Really?" Old Master Xie looked regretful, "In that case, I think the eldest son of the Qu family is not bad either, although he is not as good-looking, he is a very nice person."   Xie Cheng replied, "Grandfather, the little girl is only thirteen."   A gleam of light flashed in Old Master Xie's eyes, he had never seen his grandson so attentive to any girl, based on the scene just now, if it was another girl, she would have been knocked unconscious.   The little girl is not simple to make Leng Mu emotional!   (End of this chapter)
