C22 (1/2)
Old Madem had received the sacred medicine, but she could not say who had given it to him. Thus, she gave up, waiting for the time when she would meet that surnamed Zhao, to go to their residence to express her gratitude.
After waiting for her elderly self to stay for a few days, Xie Jingxi noticed that she was not affected by the sudden change in temperature in the capital.
In terms of emotions, it was reasonable for Shen Huanzhi to go and take care of the old lady while she went to the capital. He had prepared some gratitude from the Lady Xu and she had specially sent a carriage to send her there, but once she arrived at the Thousand Moon Inn, Xie Jingxi sent the carriage driver back.
When Shen Huanzhi looked at the first time, he still found it hard to believe, his originally gentle and refined face was stunned, he then burst out laughing: ”What, I walked into the wrong door, master does not recognize me.”
Shen Huanzhi finally regained his senses, and anxiously almost overturned his teacup, ”Jing, Jing Wan, why are you here? After so many years, you really have grown up.”
”What are you talking about? You sound as if you didn't last long.” Xie Jingxi had been playing around with him since they were young, so they weren't restrained. The two were similar in age, but they never had any scruples talking.
”I, I …” Shen Huanzhi seemed to still have not recovered her soul, as she looked at the joke above his head with her three souls and seven souls, refusing to return to her seat. ”Grandmother, is she alright?”
After holding it in for a long time, he finally managed to force out this sentence. Xie Jingxi placed the gift on the table, and then sat down.
Even Shen Huanzhi himself could not hold it in anymore, when he smiled, he did not beat around the bush and just wanted to ask her whether she was alright, ”I've grown up, and I still have the same look of someone who only knows how to bully me, but I look a lot better than when I was young.”
”You, ah, still have such a clumsy mouth. I originally thought that with your current achievements, you should be extremely clever.”
Shen Huanzhi laughed at himself: ”Whatever achievements you have, I will still be what I am, changing is just a face, my heart will never change, but at least we will return to the same place. In the end, I still came to the capital, and it can be considered as me not disgracing my final intent.”
Xie Jingxi could feel that things were going to decline a little, and wanted to console him, ”Actually, what kind of heart you are living with, the past ambition, is just a support point at that time. No one can predict in the future, I actually feel that there's nothing wrong with your way of life, that it's better to look at people's affairs and experience people's lives than to be in the world I think it is. Even if you focus on your studies and enter the civil service in the future, you will still be able to observe the world's affairs as much as you are now. Sometimes, you won't be able to see the lowest levels of despair and probably won't be able to see the situation in the government. ”
Shen Huanzhi was stunned by her words, and then, while she was speaking, he took a good look at her, ”It looks like you're not happy here in the capital, but did those people give you a good look?”
Xie Jingxi laughed without care, ”They are all looking at me. Can't you tell whether it's a loss or a gain?”
”I can see that you're completely different from before. You're more alive, more understanding, and more real. You're really much better than me.”
Xie Jingxi laughed in her heart. Just as Shen Huanzhi was about to say something, the attendant suddenly came over to report, ”Boss, Manager Li is back. She said that she wants to see you. Take a look …”
The attendant glanced at Xie Jingxi, but Shen Huanzhi said: ”Call him in, she's not an outsider.”
When the Manager Li spoke, he was also stunned when he saw Xie Jingxi. When they were at Yuhang, Xie Jingxi had come to the Shen Family to play, and she had met the Manager Li a few times. She was an old man who had followed Owner Shen and stayed at the Shen Family to help Shen Huanzhi.
”But Madame Xie?” ”In the blink of an eye, it has grown so big that I was unable to recognize it.” Manager Li asked in surprise.
”It's my Manager Li, you haven't changed at all, you're still full of spirit.”
Sigh, we are dealing with money every day and we are not going to be old. We are living in high spirits. If we see something wrong, what else do we need you to do?
Each of them seemed to be on their own. Manager Li was a shrewd businessman who had been around for half his life, but he also had his own good points.
Xie Jingxi was amused by him, ”How are you useless? You are someone who is like a needle in a haystack, even if your eyes are blurry, you can't account for it, no one can say half a word about you.”
