Chapter 491 They are all promising talents   "Yes!" Mingyu stood up and said to Hua Xuan and Feng Ruoqian, "Please follow me."   Upon hearing this, the two stood up, bowed slightly to Lou Zhan, nodded and smiled at Tang Xi, Hua Cheng and Jiuyao, and then took their luggage and followed Mingyu out.   Before leaving, Mingyu reached out and gently pushed Jiuyao's shoulder when he passed by him.   Although Jiuyao was usually careless, he reacted quickly at this time.   After seeing Mingyu and the others leave, he hurriedly stood up and said, "I'll help too."   After that, he hurried out.   Hearing the footsteps coming from behind, Mingyu smiled with relief.   This guy finally understood what he meant today, which was really rare.   As soon as they left, only Tang Xi, Xie Cheng, and Lou Zhan were left in the room.   "Teacher, why are you here today?" Xie Cheng asked today's doubts.   He didn't tell Lou Zhan about training people for Tang Xi, so how did he know?   Lou Zhan said, "I had nothing to do today, so I planned to go out for a drink, but I saw Moyi carrying something in this direction, so I followed him to see. After he left, I came in to see, but I didn't expect to see Jiuyao and Mingyu, and a large group of children."   After he said that, he looked at Xie Cheng suspiciously and said, "Why didn't you tell the teacher about your training of new people?"   Xie Cheng said indifferently, "How can I trouble you, teacher, for such a small matter?"   "I heard that these are all the little girls' people." Lou Zhan looked at Tang Xi and asked, "Is that right?"   Tang Xi nodded, "Yes."   "Well, I've helped you to check it out today. These children are all promising." Lou Zhan said, "If they are trained well, they will definitely be no worse than the shadow guards of the Xie Mansion in the future."   Xie Cheng glanced outside the door and whispered, "Teacher, it's getting late. How about we send you back to rest first?"   "No need." Lou Zhan said, "You send the little girl back first, and the teacher will go back at dawn."   The meaning was very obvious, that is, he was going to rest here.   "Then you should go to bed early, we will go ahead."   Lou Zhan nodded, "You guys go back."   The two stood up, bowed slightly, and then went out hand in hand.   After leaving the ruins, it was almost Yinshi.   Xie Cheng sent Tang Xi back to the Tang Mansion, watched her climb over the wall with his own eyes, and then left with a chuckle.   ————   Just after returning to the Silk Chamber Courtyard, Tang Xi saw that the lights were still on in the room, and felt a little confused. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Huaer and Guoer sitting in front of the tea table in her room and dozing off.   Hearing the sound of the door opening, the two rubbed their eyes, stood up and greeted them with a smile.   "The girl is back!"   "Why are you sleeping here?" Tang Xi walked in and frowned, "Didn't I tell you to go to bed early?"   "How dare we go to bed if the girl is not back?" Guoer said as she took off her cloak for her and hung it aside.   Huaer hurriedly took the teapot off the stove and poured her a cup of hot tea, "Girl, drink a cup of hot tea to get rid of the cold."   Tang Xi reached out to take it, but held it in her hand but did not drink it.   She looked at the two and said, "You go back and rest first, I can do it myself."   "Yes!"   After the two responded, they turned around and left.   After the door was closed again, Tang Xi put down the teacup in her hand.   She had been drinking tea all day today, and she didn't know how much water had accumulated in her stomach.   After staring at the chamber pot in the corner for a while, she decided to go into the space to solve it.   When she came out after she finished, she glanced outside the door and saw that there was no movement, so she blew out the candle and went to bed.   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 492 New Year Greetings (1)   The next day, Xie's residence.   Early in the morning, Lu Fan, accompanied by Lu Huai, appeared at Moyuan Residence.   "Uncle, uncle, get up, it's time to go to my aunt's house to pay New Year's greetings!"   Hearing the "bang bang" sound coming from outside the door, Xie Cheng, who wanted to stay in bed for a while, opened his eyes reluctantly.   After returning to the residence last night, he did not go to bed directly, but sat in the room until the morning before returning to the couch to lie down for a while.   Look, he was woken up after less than two hours of sleep.   "Uncle, uncle, get up!"   Seeing that the door was not opened, Lu Fan continued to knock on the door.   Xie Cheng slowly got off the bed, rubbed his temples, and then opened the door.   "Uncle!"   Lu Fan rushed in, hugged his legs and smiled.   Xie Cheng squinted at him, and rubbed his head for a while.   "Did you go to the boudoir last night?"   Seeing that he was sleep-deprived, Lu Huai couldn't help but tease him.   While putting on his coat, Xie Cheng replied calmly, "I had something to do last night and went out, so I didn't go to bed until the morning."   "You didn't go to the Tang Mansion late at night, did you?" Lu Fan walked to the side and sat down, teasing again.   Xie Cheng glanced at him and said nothing.   At this moment, Mo Yi came in with the water for washing.   When he saw the people in the room, he couldn't help but wonder, "Young Master got up really early today." It was   only the morning hour now. According to the usual practice, Lu Fan would not wake up until the morning hour.   Lu Huai smiled and said, "He said he was going to the Tang Mansion to pay New Year's greetings, so he got up early."   Xie Cheng silently took the water for washing from Mo Yi's hand and walked into the bathroom.   Lu Huai glanced at his back, then stood up and asked Mo Yi, "Where did your master go last night?"   Mo Yi shook his head, "I don't know."   "You didn't follow?"   Mo Yi shrugged, "The master didn't let me follow."   "Didn't let you follow?" Lu Huai narrowed his eyes slightly, and then laughed softly, "Did I guess it?"   "Guessed what?"   "Your master is too unrestrained. Miss Tang is so young, how can she be so impatient?" Lu Huai shook his head and answered the question irrelevantly.   Mo Yi was stunned, "You mean, my master went to see Miss Tang last night?"   "Isn't it?" Lu Huai said, "He didn't take you with him, didn't he just want to have a tryst with the beauty?"   Mo Yi thought about it and felt that it made sense, but then shook his head again, "Even if he went to see Miss Tang, it wouldn't be a big deal, right?"   He naturally believed in his master's character.   Lu Huai guessed, "Look at him, I guess he didn't sleep last night."   "Mind yourself." A cold voice came from the bathroom.   Lu Huai quickly closed his mouth and winked at Mo Yi.   After a while, the bathroom door was opened, and Xie Cheng, dressed in white, walked out of the bathroom.   Mo Yi hurriedly walked to the side, took a black cloak and put it on him.   "Uncle, are you ready?" Lu Fan jumped over, took his index finger and said, "Great-grandfather and great-grandmother are ready, it's just you."   Xie Cheng picked him up easily, smiled faintly and said, "Let's go."   He didn't know if the little girl had enough rest, and whether they would disturb her if they went over.   "Uncle, look!"   Lu Fan took out two red paper bags from his pocket and shook them in front of him as if showing off.   Xie Cheng raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Who gave this to you?"   "The New Year's money given to me by my great-grandmother and great-grandfather, and my parents also gave me some."   After that, he looked at him eagerly.   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 493 New Year Greetings (2)   Xie Cheng chuckled and pretended not to know: "Children are good, and they get lucky money. Uncle doesn't have any."   Lu Fan flattened his mouth and said in a bored tone: "Then I'll give you some."   "No need." After Xie Cheng left the house, he put him on the ground, covered his hood with his cape, and then took out a silver note and handed it to him, "Here, one hundred taels, is that enough?"   "Enough, enough!" Lu Fan took the silver note and smiled instantly. He put the silver note and the two red paper bags back into his pocket and patted it twice in a worried look.   "Why give him so much?" Lu Huai followed and said: "Just give him a few copper coins. He's a child and doesn't know how to spend it."   "Who said I don't know how to spend money?" Lu Fan snorted coldly, "Uncle Bei said that the lucky money should be kept well. It will be used as a daughter-in-law in the future."   Lu Huai didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard it, "You are a child, do you know what a daughter-in-law is?"   Xie Cheng patted his back lightly and said in a calm voice: "You are much more promising than your father."   Lu Huai's smile froze, and he coughed and stopped talking.   Lu Fan chuckled, holding Xie Cheng in one hand and Lu Huai in the other, and skipped out.   Mo Yi smiled and followed the three of them silently.   When the three of them arrived at the lobby, the carriage was already ready in the yard.   "Mother!"   Seeing Xie Ling waiting in front of the carriage with an umbrella, Lu Fan instantly let go of Xie Cheng and Lu Huai's hands and flew towards Xie Ling.   "Young Master, be careful, don't fall!" Man Xiang said worriedly.   Lu Fan chuckled, took out the one hundred taels given by Xie Cheng from his pocket, and said happily: "Mother, look, this is the New Year's money my uncle gave me."   Xie Ling took the banknote and looked at it, then looked up at Xie Cheng and said softly: "It would be fine to give him a few copper coins, why give him so much?"   Lu Huai teased: "This is the money he gave to his nephew as his wife."   Xie Cheng smiled faintly.   Lu Fan blushed, afraid that his mother would return the banknotes to his uncle, so he quickly stretched out his hand and said, "Mom, give me back the banknotes!"   "You can't take so much money." Xie Ling tapped his nose and said, "Mom will keep it for you. When you need it in the future, you can ask mom for it, okay?"   "Oh!" He nodded and handed the remaining two red paper packages to Xie Ling, "This was given to me by my great-grandfather and great-grandmother. Mom, please keep it together."   "Okay!"   Xie Ling took the two red paper packages and smiled with relief.   She gave all the money to Manxiang, then picked up Lu Fan, pinched his face and said, "Don't be naughty when we get to Tang's house, understand?"   Lu Fan nodded his little head and said, "I understand, mother."   "Why don't you get down quickly?" Lu Huai frowned, "You are so old, but you are still being held by your mother, aren't you ashamed?"   "Lululu~"   Lu Fan made a face at him, not only did he not get down, but he also hugged Xie Ling's neck and looked at him proudly.   Lu Huai's face sank, and just as he was about to take the kid off his wife, he heard the old lady say with a smile, "Are you all here? Let's go."   Xie Cheng looked up and saw Madam Jiang supporting his grandmother and walking over, and his grandfather followed his grandmother with his hands behind his back.   Both old people were wearing new clothes. The old man was wearing a black fox fur coat, a fur hat on his head, and a smile on his face.   The old lady was wearing a red mink fur coat and a red hairpin on her head, looking very festive.   Xie Cheng's thin lips held a faint smile, and his starry eyes revealed a faint joy.   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 494 New Year Greetings (3)   It has been many years since my grandmother wore such festive clothes. It has been more than ten years.   Since my father and mother passed away, the atmosphere of the Xie Mansion has become much more solemn.   Especially after my grandmother was diagnosed with tuberculosis, the entire Xie Mansion was almost dead.   He never thought that one day, the Xie Mansion would still be so lively.   All this was brought by the little girl. The little girl is really his lucky star.   "Acheng, what are you still standing there for? Get in the car!"   Seeing Xie Cheng standing still, Lu Huai hurriedly reminded him.   He nodded slightly and got on the carriage driven by Mo Yi.   The gate of the Xie Mansion was open, and several carriages marked the Xie Mansion drove out of the Xie Mansion in a mighty manner.   When they arrived at the gate of the Tang Mansion, a line of carriages stopped one after another.   The Tang Mansion was originally on the street, and the stop of this line of carriages quickly attracted everyone's attention.   "Girl, look, it's the carriage of the Xie Mansion."   Xiaolan heard the sound of horse hooves and opened the curtain and said in surprise.   Zhuo Yue stuck her head out and saw that the carriage of the Xie family was parked next to their carriage.   She smiled faintly and said softly: "It seems that the Xie family is here to pay New Year's greetings to Miss Tang just like us." As soon   as she finished speaking, she heard her father chatting with Old Master Xie and Xie Cheng outside the door.   Xiaolan got off the carriage and helped her down.   Coincidentally, at this time, Xie Ling was also helped off the carriage by Manxiang.   The two looked at each other, stunned at first, then nodded and smiled.   "I didn't expect that the Crown Prince's Consort is here too." Xiaolan looked at Zhuo Yue and asked: "Miss, do you want to go over and say hello?"   "Yes." Zhuo Yue nodded and walked towards Xie Ling.   When she arrived in front of Xie Ling, she bowed slightly and said softly, "Zhuo Yue greets the Crown Prince's Consort!"   Xie Ling helped her up and said with a smile, "Miss Zhuo is so polite!"   She looked up at the carriage of the Zhuo Mansion and said with a smile, "It seems that we have the same idea."   "Isn't it?" Zhuo Yue said with a smile, "Miss Tang treated my brother's illness. Today, my brother can suddenly get up. Although he can't walk yet, my father is really happy. Yesterday, he thought that he must come to pay a visit to Miss Tang today, and no one could stop him."   "Oh?" Xie Ling was surprised, "So, Mr. Zhuo's leg injury has improved?"   "Yes!" Zhuo Yue nodded, with a happy smile on her face.   "Miss, the master and the city lord have gone in!" Xiaolan reminded.   After hearing this, Zhuo Yue made a gesture of invitation to Xie Ling, "The Crown Prince's Consort, please go first!"   Xie Ling smiled and said, "Let's go together."   "Mother, father has gone in!"   Lu Fan, who was halfway through, suddenly turned back and said aggrievedly.   "Didn't you leave with your father and uncle? Why are you back again?"   Xie Ling bent down and picked him up, asking helplessly.   "They, they all left, they were all, talking, no one cared about me!" After saying that, she was about to cry.   "Okay, okay, isn't mother still here?" Xie Ling patted him on the back and said, "When we get back, mother will scold your father again, okay?"   "Yeah!" His expression was still very aggrieved.   Zhuo Yue chuckled, "Is this the young master Lu?"   Xie Ling nodded and smiled helplessly, "It's my son, I'm sorry to embarrass you, Miss Zhuo."   "No, the young master is very cute." After Zhuo Yue said that, she said to Xiaolan, "Xiaolan, bring the purse over."   Xiaolan understood, and hurriedly took off the purse and handed it to her.   Zhuo Yue took the purse, took out a silver note, and stuffed it into Lu Fan's hand, "Young master, take this and buy some candy."   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 495 New Year Greetings (4)   "Thank you, sister!"   The wet eyes looked straight at her, and the voice of thanks was so sweet that Zhuo Yue's heart melted. She shook her head and smiled, "Young Master, you are too polite!"   Before Xie Ling could say anything to persuade him to return the favor, she was blocked by Lu Fan's thanks.   She sighed helplessly, "This kid!"   Everyone went in. There was a row of carriages parked outside, and the drivers of the two families stood outside to guard.   As soon as the owner left, the people who were just joining in the fun finally couldn't help but whisper.   "Where did this Tang family come from? Not only did they buy the yard of the Zhuo family, but they also let the Xie and Zhuo families come to pay New Year's greetings in person!"   "I'm also very curious. I was busy the past few days and didn't go out. I don't know when this Tang family moved in ."   "I have seen people coming in and out frequently, but they are all strangers I have never met."   "Does anyone know where this Tang family came from?" someone asked.   "I know."   Qu Yi walked over with an umbrella.   "Second Young Master Qu!" Everyone exclaimed, "Do you know anyone in the Tang Mansion?"   "Yes, why?" He smiled and nodded, "This girl in the Tang Mansion is the lifesaver of Old Lady Xie."   "Lifesaver?" Someone suddenly realized, "Are you talking about the little genius doctor?"   The name of the little genius doctor is very famous in Hanshui City, but few people have seen her true face. No, or even if they have seen her, they don't know if she is the little genius doctor.   "That's right!" Qu Yi nodded, "It is the little genius doctor."   Thinking of the smiling face, Qu Yi's eyes softened unconsciously.   But thinking of his elder brother's words, his eyes dimmed again.   "Second Young Master, have you seen the little genius doctor?" someone asked.   "I was fortunate to see her once."   Since then, he has been obsessed with her and still remembers her.   Someone else said, "I heard that it was a little girl who has not yet reached the age of marriage. Is this true?"   There are quite a few versions of the legend about the little genius doctor.   Some people say that the young doctor is not really young, but a dwarf.   Others say that the young doctor is actually a master in disguise, and he is probably over thirty or forty years old.   Of course, some people say that the young doctor is from the medical school, and City Lord Xie personally went to the medical school to invite him.   In short, everyone has different versions.   Qu Yi smiled faintly and nodded slightly, "Really."   "Then is she from the medical school?"   He shook his head, "No."   "Are you sure she is not a master in disguise?"   Qu Yi glanced at the person and smiled faintly, "I saw with my own eyes that she is a little girl about thirteen or fourteen years old."   Someone sighed and said, "So, the little doctor is truly a little doctor!"   "Of course!" Zhao Yunqian walked over with Mu Anan, and said proudly, "The little doctor is not only young and has high medical skills, but also looks like a flower."   "Miss Zhao, have you also seen the little doctor?" Everyone gathered around Zhao Yunqian again. "Of course!" Zhao Yunqian   said with a   smile, "Some time ago, An'an and I were framed and disfigured, and it was the little doctor who cured us, oh?" She said, and said to Mu An'an.   

Mu An'an nodded, "Yunqian is right, our faces were cured by the little doctor, and many people saw it at that time."   

"Yes!" Someone said, "I remember that at that time, the girl selling rouge was framed and said that she was disfigured because she applied their beauty cream. These two girls were also there. I remember that their faces were covered with abscesses at that time, and everyone said that they were disfigured."   

(End of this chapter)

 Chapter 496 New Year Greetings (5)   After hearing this, a man said in a rough voice: "I heard my wife mention this. At that time, my wife seemed to have gone to the rouge shop to buy a box of beauty cream, which cost a full 100 taels. However, during this period, my wife's face has become much whiter and looks much better than before."   Someone pondered and said: "From what Miss Zhao and Miss Mu said, the girl who bought rouge, couldn't she be the legendary little doctor?"   "That's right!" Zhao Yunqian nodded and smiled.   "If she is a doctor, why does she sell rouge and powder?" Someone questioned.   Everyone heard this and agreed: "Yes, shouldn't this doctor open a clinic to save people? Why did he open a rouge shop?"   "How do we know? Maybe the little doctor likes rouge and powder more?" Mu Anan said: "Besides, the beauty cream sold by the little doctor is also the best."   Qu Yi looked at Zhao Yunqian thoughtfully.   The engagement between the Qu and Zhao families was not announced to the public, and he only heard about it after returning from the academy.   His mother said that she preferred Zhao Yunqian, a young lady, to be her daughter-in-law compared to Princess Hanrong, so in order to prevent Prince Anyang from setting his sights on him again, she privately arranged this marriage for him.   He had never seen Zhao Yunqian, and he had only heard of this name a while ago.   So, this young lady with a face full of admiration when she mentioned the little genius doctor, is his future wife? Does   she admire that man too?   Seeing that this young man was staring at her, Zhao Yunqian blushed, and hurriedly pulled Mu Anan and said, "Anan, let's go, Feifei is still waiting for us."   She had never seen Qu Yi, and didn't know who this handsome young man in front of her was, but he kept staring at her like this, which made her feel a little rude.   "The young man just now was quite handsome!" Mu Anan smiled, "He was staring at you, could he be interested in you?"   "Stop teasing me!" Zhao Yunqian glanced at her and said dimly, "After all, I have a fiancé."   "I have seen the eldest young master Qu, but I have never seen the second young master Qu." Mu Anan said, "I heard that he stays in the academy all year round and rarely returns to the Qu Mansion. I don't know what kind of person he is."   "I accept it whether it's good or bad." Zhao Yunqian forced a smile, "After all, this is the marriage arranged for me by my father and mother, and I can't go back on it."   Moreover, even if she didn't want to, she knew in her heart that even her father and mother couldn't make the decision. After all, the Qu family was not someone they could offend just by saying so.   Mu Anan said, "It would be great if the second young master Qu was as handsome as the young master just now. Mrs. Qu is such a nice person and likes you very much. You don't have to worry about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law if you marry him."   "When did you become so superficial?" Zhao Yunqian sighed softly, "It doesn't matter whether the second young master Qu is handsome or not. I just hope he is a responsible person."   "Don't worry!" Mu Anan put his arm around her shoulders and smiled, "You are so good. God will never let you down. He will definitely arrange a good son-in-law for you, and you will have a happy future."   Zhao Yunqian smiled when she heard it, pinched her face lightly and said, "You too!"   Mu Anan grimaced in pain and shouted, "Don't pinch, don't pinch! If you pinch it and break it, no one will want it!"   Zhao Yunqian chuckled, and the two of them ran towards the Shi Mansion while playing.   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 497 New Year Greetings (6)   Tang Mansion, Silk Chamber.   Tang Xi was sleeping soundly when she was awakened by a rapid knock on the door.   She rubbed her eyes and frowned slightly, "What's wrong?"   Guo'er said, "Miss, housekeeper Ge said that there are guests in the front yard, and asked you to go over quickly."   "Guests?"   Who are the guests during the New Year?   She yawned and asked lazily, "Did they say who they were?"   Guo'er said, "They said that people from the Xie Mansion and the Zhuo Mansion came together."   "Xie Mansion and Zhuo Mansion?"   Tang Xi was stunned, and then turned back to the house. She casually took the cloak and put it on.   Guo'er waved to Hua'er, and Hua'er understood and walked in with toiletries.   After Tang Xi washed up, she was about to go out, but was pulled back by Guo'er and Hua'er.   "Miss, you haven't combed your hair yet!"   Tang Xi paused and took a few steps back. She stood in front of the dressing table and saw that her hair was a little messy.   Huaer said, "Let me comb your hair for you!"   "No need!" She picked up the comb and combed it a few times, then tied it into a ponytail.   Huaer wanted to say something, but seeing that she was wearing a red cloak and a ponytail, she looked simple and heroic, and she was pretty, so she didn't say anything.   "Let's go to the front yard."   Seeing her stride out of the door, Huaer and Guoer hurriedly followed.   "Has housekeeper Ge gone home?"   Tang Xi asked them when she didn't see anyone.   Guoer nodded, "I went back to entertain guests."   It was a rare sunny day today. Before the morning hour, the sun broke out at dawn, and the clouds in the east were dyed with rosy clouds.   The golden light tilted down, and the whole yard seemed to be covered with a layer of warm light.   "The sun is out!"   Huaer stretched out her hand as she walked, squinting and smiling at the east.   Tang Xi looked at the long-lost sunshine and smiled unconsciously.   Guo'er put her hands together and prayed, "I hope it will be sunny all day on the first day of the new year!"   When the three of them arrived at the front yard, three tables had been set up outside the yard, one for the men, one for the women, and the other for the children.   It must be said that housekeeper Ge is a very reassuring person, and she never fails to do the things she is entrusted with.   "Xiaoxi is here!"   Old Lady Xie was sharp-eyed and saw her at a glance.   When she came, people at the three tables stood up.   Old Master Xie waved at her, "Girl Tang, come over here and sit for a while."   "Don't listen to him," Old Master Xie glared at the old master and said with a smile, "The girls are all here, and there are a bunch of big men over there, what are they doing there?"   After that, she forcibly pulled Tang Xi to her side.   Tang Xi smiled softly, bowed to Old Master Xie first, and then sat next to Old Master Xie.   Xia was a little nervous at first, fearing that the old lady would dislike her granddaughter, but now she couldn't help but feel relieved after seeing the old lady's attitude towards Tang Xi.   Zhuo Yue wanted to say something, but seeing that there were other people at the table, she could only suppress her joy and smile at Tang Xi.   Tang Xi smiled at her, and then explained to everyone: "I slept late last night, so I got up late. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long!"   "No problem!" Seeing the old lady patting the back of her hand lightly, she smiled: "If you want to say sorry, it should be us who should say it. We didn't tell you in advance that we were coming, so you didn't get enough sleep. We disturbed you!"   Tang Xi shook her head, "The old lady is joking. Your coming really makes the Tang Mansion glorious. I can't wait to be happy."   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 498 Thank you, Auntie!   Upon hearing this, the old lady hugged her and said with a smile, "You are such a good talker!"   "Isn't it?" Xie Ling said with a smile, "Ms. Tang has always been sweet."   Tang Xi chuckled, "I'm telling the truth, I'm not kidding you!"   "Here, this is from me, a little gift, for good luck!"   The old lady said, stuffing a red paper bag into her hand.   "I'm grown up, how can I still get lucky money?" Tang Xi said, and was about to return it, but was stopped by the old lady.   "Acheng has lucky money, you are only thirteen or fourteen, why can't you get lucky money?"   "Grandmother is right!" Xie Ling also took out a red paper bag and stuffed it into her, smiling, "This is the lucky money I gave to Miss Tang."   As soon as she finished stuffing it, Zhuo Yue also stuffed one into her hand, then Xia Shi, and then Mo Linglong.   Mo Linglong smiled shyly, "I don't give much, just a little token of my appreciation."   Tang Xi looked at the red paper package in her hand and smiled helplessly, "Given by an elder, I can't refuse, so I'll accept it shamelessly."   "Tang girl, there's more over here." Old Master Xie smiled and waved at her again.   This time, Old Master Xie didn't stop her, but smiled and said, "Go quickly, come back after you get the New Year's money."   Tang Xi chuckled, nodded, stood up, and walked towards the table.   "Here, this is from your grandfather, you must keep it well!"   Old Master Xie smiled and stuffed the red paper package into her hand.   Then it was Tang Zheng, and then it was Master Zhuo. He smiled and said, "Xuan'er can't come for the time being, but he asked me to wish Miss Tang a happy new year!" "   Then please thank Master Zhuo for me!" Tang Xi smiled and asked, "How is he?"   "He can stand up, but he can't walk for the time being. It will take some time."   Perhaps his son's leg disease has improved, Master Zhuo's smile is extremely bright, and even his smile lines have increased.   "Really? That's good!" Tang Xi said, "I'll go see him after the New Year."   Master Zhuo said a few good words after hearing this.   "Cousin, this is for you!"   Mo Ziteng also gave Tang Xi a red paper bag, and even Lu Huai handed one over.   Finally, it was Xie Cheng's. He took out the red paper bag he had prepared in advance and handed it to her, with a faint smile on his thin lips, "Happy New Year!"   Tang Xi pursed her lips and smiled, "Happy New Year!"   After the elders gave her red envelopes, it was her turn to give red envelopes to the children.   Tang Xi handed the red paper package in her hand to Hua'er, then took out the red envelope she had prepared and walked to the table where the children were sitting.   She first gave it to Tang Xiao who was sitting in the front row, then to Mo Zihan and Mo Zihao, and finally to Lu Fan.   "Thank you, sister!" Tang Xi smiled with narrowed eyes.   Mo Zihan and Mo Zihao also raised red envelopes and said, "Thank you, cousin Xi!"   Tang Xi chuckled, "You're welcome!"   Lu Fan took the red envelope and suddenly showed a sweet smile, then said in a baby voice, "Thank you, aunt!"   The voice was neither loud nor soft, and almost everyone present heard it.   Tang Xi was stunned and his face turned red instantly.   Tang Xiao and the two brothers of the Mo family looked at him in confusion.   "This child, what nonsense is he talking about?"   Xie Ling and Lu Huai couldn't help but hold their foreheads.   The child kept calling aunt aunt, and they forgot to correct him.   On the men's table, everyone's eyes were on Xie Cheng. His expression did not change, but his ears were already red.   Lu Huai sighed. Even in such a cold day, Xie Cheng's ears didn't turn red. But his son's words made his ears turn red.   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 499: Children's Words Should   Not Be Taken Care of No matter how thick-skinned Xie Cheng is, he would still feel embarrassed when being looked at like this by his future father-in-law.   Everyone must think that he asked his little nephew to call him aunt.   "Children's words should not be taken care of, children's words should not be taken care of!" Lu Huai smiled and broke the awkwardness.   "Aunt, why don't you spend the New Year with your uncle at the Xie Mansion?"   I thought that was the end of it, but who would have thought that the little guy would run over, holding Tang Xi's hand and asking seriously.   Lu Huai: ...   Others covered their lips and laughed.   Tang Xi coughed lightly and smiled: "Because... my aunt hasn't married yet, so she has to spend the New Year at her own home."   "Then when can my aunt marry?"   "Uh... in two or three years." After Tang Xi finished speaking, he glanced at Xie Cheng.   "Oh!" Lu Fan grinned and said, "My uncle said the same thing."   "Really?" Tang Xi smiled and touched his head lightly, "Go back and sit down to eat, otherwise it will be gone soon."   "Aunt, go back and sit down too!"   As soon as Tang Xi sat back in her seat, the old lady smiled at Xia, "Sister, since Xiaoxi has said it, I won't hide it anymore. I came here today just to tell you that I like Xiaoxi very much, and hope she can be my grandson's wife."   Xia was younger than the old lady, so the old lady just called her sister.   "It's Xixi's honor to be liked by the old lady." Xia also smiled and said, "City Lord Xie is a sensible man. We can rest assured to leave Xixi to him."   "Hearing my sister say this, the stone in my heart has fallen." The old lady sighed lightly and said, "Acheng's parents passed away when he was young. There are only the two of us old people and his sister to take care of him at home. Although his temperament is a little cold, his heart is warm." "   I have been sick in the past few years, and it was all thanks to that child running around and looking for medical treatment for me everywhere. If I hadn't met Xiaoxi, I'm afraid I wouldn't have lived to this day."   After the old lady finished speaking, tears welled up in her eyes. "It's New Year's Day, and I don't like to mention these sad things, but I just want to let you rest assured that when Xiaoxi enters the Xie Mansion in the future, we will never let her down in the slightest." Since   meeting Tang Xi, her grandson has smiled more often, and he is more humane than before.   Moreover, the Xie Mansion was more lively than before. She saw all of this and knew that both her grandson and the Xie Mansion had to thank Tang Xi for the changes they had today.   "What the old lady said is right." Old Master Xie said, "With the old master here, if this kid dares to bully Miss Tang, I, the old master, will be the first to not let him go."   Xie Ling smiled and said, "And me!"   Xie Cheng raised his eyes to look at Tang Xi, his thin lips slightly raised without saying a word.   Old Master Mo and Tang Zheng said nothing, but looked at Tang Xi with relief.   "It's still Lord Xie who has a good eye. He can pick on the little genius doctor, but my son can't do that!"   Master Zhuo said, and shook his head with a wry smile.   He thought his son was good in every way, but he didn't have a good eye for people.   "You can't say that." Old Master Xie said, "This person will always make mistakes. As the saying goes, 'Every time you eat, you learn a lot.' After this incident is over, he will learn more."   "I hope so!" Master Zhuo sighed, "I don't expect anything else. Now, even if his leg disease can be cured, he can cheer up."

  Chapter 500 Losing the wife and losing the army   "Only those who endure the most hardships can become the best." Lu Huai said, "I believe that after this ordeal, Master Zhuo will grow a lot in the future."   Master Zhuo nodded, "Thank you for your good words, Prince!"   The old man smiled and said to Master Mo and Tang Zheng, "Now that we have talked about it today, we will be considered relatives in the future. If there is anything that cannot be solved in Hanshui City in the future, just mention it to Acheng. If he can't solve it, you can also ask me for help. Don't be polite!"   Master Mo and Tang Zheng both smiled and nodded, saying in unison, "Of course!"   "And our Zhuo Mansion." Master Zhuo smiled and said, "I may not be able to help with this big thing, but I can still help with small things."   Now, his son's look is getting better day by day, and he is particularly grateful to Tang Xi in his heart.   He is also glad that his daughter was able to tell Tang Xi about his son's affairs at the beginning, otherwise, I am afraid that it would not have the effect today.   "Xi'er has just arrived in Hanshui City. It is her blessing to be taken care of by you nobles. I am here, so I will use tea instead of wine to thank you for taking care of the three of them!"   Old Master Mo said, raising his teacup to the people present, and then drank it all.   "Don't be polite, brother." Old Master Xie said, "In the future, if you don't mind, just call me brother, Acheng, and you don't have to call me Xie Chengzhu Xie Chengzhu, which is too distant. Just call me Acheng."   "Grandfather is right!" Xie Cheng said to Old Master Mo and Tang Zheng, "Grandfather, uncle, you can call me Acheng like Xixi in the future."   "Yeah!"   The two smiled and nodded slightly.   The people from the Xie and Zhuo families stayed in the Tang Mansion until noon, and left after lunch.   As for Lu Fan, he was having a great time setting off firecrackers in the snow with a few little brothers, and he didn't want to go back no matter what.   There was no other choice, so they had to let the others follow the old lady and the old lady back to Xie's house, and Xie Cheng naturally stayed.   "I wonder when Mr. Chu will leave?"   Tang Xi moved a stool and sat under the eaves with Xie Cheng to watch the children playing.   The others were all tactful people, and had already excused themselves to go back for lunch, so at this moment, only the children playing not far away and Tang Xi and Xie Cheng were left in the front yard.   Xie Cheng said: "Palace Master Hua is still in the city, Lin Yuetong should not leave so early."   If Lin Yuetong did not leave, Chu Tianyou would definitely not leave alone.   Now, the two of them are inseparable every day.   "That's right!" She nodded slightly, and asked in a low voice: "Has the left protector made any moves recently?"   "No." Xie Cheng pondered and said: "She seems to be afraid that Palace Master Hua will find out something, so she has been extra cautious recently and rarely goes out."   Tang Xi smiled, "What about Prince Anyang? Is there any movement?"   "He lost tens of millions of taels and dozens of assassins. Last night, Prince Fan severed the father-son relationship with him. Now, he has lost both the wife and the army, and he has aged a lot."   "Prince Fan severed the father-son relationship with Prince Anyang?" Tang Xi became interested instantly, "Why?"   "I don't know." Xie Cheng raised his eyes and stared at the children who were kicking Cuju in the snow not far away, which they found from somewhere, and smiled faintly, "Maybe they found something." "   This Prince Fan is a smart man." Tang Xi said: "Based on the things that Prince Anyang has done, once it breaks out, no one in the Anyang Palace will be able to get away. But if they sever the relationship early, even if Prince Anyang commits a heinous crime in the future, it will have nothing to do with him."   (End of this chapter)
