Chapter 266 How could she possibly accept that?
Jiang Er also took part in this provincial examination. After the exam, he rested at home for four days before he felt that he was finally alive.
After that, he couldn't stay any longer.
So when he heard that Xie Xiu had moved to a hot spring resort outside the city with his family, he couldn't wait to come over and see Xie Ying.
Because Emperor Taihe blocked the news, he didn't know about Yang Tao at this time. He just heard that Xie Ying was conferred the title of County Lord, so he was a little concerned.
When Jiang Er came over, Xie Xiu's family was barbecuing in the courtyard.
Liu Zhichun marinated the meat and prepared the barbecue sauce himself, and the aroma wafted from far away.
When Jiang Er smelled it from afar, he immediately became so greedy that he started drooling.
He looked at Xie Xiu in surprise: "Are you guys grilling meat? It smells so good! Who grilled it? Your chef is pretty good, can you lend it to me?"
Xie Xiu glanced at him coldly: "That's my mother-in-law."
Jiang Er immediately laughed dryly: "Ahem, well, what about that just now? Just treat it as if I didn't say it."
After saying that, he quickly asked about Xie Ying: "By the way, where is your little daughter? I must take a good look at her today! His Majesty actually made her the Princess of Fu'an County. Your girl is really blessed!"
Xie Zheng was about to say something when he suddenly heard the sound of a starling overhead.
"Idiot! Idiot!"
Jiang Er looked up in surprise and saw a starling standing on a branch, looking down at him. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Brother Keji, is this the bird you raise? You raise it very well, don't you? Did you teach it that?"
Xie Xiu was furious, but before he could explain, the starling suddenly jumped on the branch in a frivolous manner, and yelled again: "Idiot! Idiot!"
Jiang Er suddenly felt unhappy. He looked at Xie Xiu suspiciously and asked, "Why does your bird always curse at people?"
Xie Xiu could only sigh helplessly, "It flies away all the time. I don't know where it learned these words from. It's really naughty."
As soon as he finished speaking, the mynah bird opened its mouth again: "You idiot! You hurt me~~~"
Jiang Er: "..."
He suspected that the bird had gone to eavesdrop on a couple's affair!
He also kindly reminded Xie Xiu, "Brother Keji, that's a lustful bird you're raising. Don't let anyone know you own it, or those moralists will start talking nonsense behind your back."
Xie Xiu smiled calmly: "It doesn't matter. All the mynah birds in this world look pretty much the same anyway."
Jiang Er thought about it and then couldn't help but raise his head and look at the starling.
But the starling suddenly flapped its wings and flew away, and soon disappeared.
He didn't take it to heart and continued to follow Xie Xiu inside.
This is Concubine Jiang's hot spring villa, so he comes here often and is already familiar with everything here.
Now that the owner of this place has changed, he has become a guest, and his mood is inevitably different.
Not long after walking, he saw Tu Yong and Liu Zhichun barbecuing.
There was also Tu Jiaojiao sitting next to her with her children.
Seeing this heartwarming scene, Jiang Er suddenly felt a little envious and had an urge to get married and have children.
He looked at Xie Xiu sourly: "Brother Keji is so lucky. Not only does he have a virtuous wife at home, he also has four smart and lovely children."
It's so jealous.
Xie Xiu glanced at him calmly, and without being polite, he said directly: "If you are envious, wouldn't it be better to get married soon and have everything?"
Jiang Er thought of his sister-in-law and suddenly shook his head: "That may not be the case! You still have too little experience and have no idea how terrifying some women in this world can be!"
Xie Xiu was a little disgusted: "No matter how scary they are, can they be scarier than the Xu family, the Chen family, and that Second Madam Xie?"
Jiang Er was stunned when he heard this. He couldn't remember who Xu was. "Which Xu are you talking about?"
Xie Xiu was even more disgusted: "Have you forgotten about Mei Hanlin's mistress?"
As soon as he mentioned Mei Hanlin, Jiang Er immediately thought of him.
When he first learned that Mei Hanlin had dared to insult Concubine Jiang after drinking, he was so angry that he ran to beat the villain up and was punished by being confined to copy books.
How could I forget?
Thinking of what Xu Yiyi had done, he looked at Xie Xiu with sympathy: "Speaking of which, it really wasn't easy for you either. You're where you are today, thanks to God's blessing."
Xie Xiu thought of Xie Ying and couldn't help but smile: "It is indeed God's blessing."
If God had not taken pity on him and specially sent him the little fairy Yingying, he would have fallen into the trap of his enemies long ago and how could he have successfully completed the provincial examination?
If it weren't for Yingying, the little lucky star, His Majesty might not have shown him special favor, not letting him be implicated in the affairs of the Xie family, and allowing him to take the imperial examination.
Thinking of Emperor Taihe, Xie Xiu's attitude towards Jiang Er softened a bit: "You don't want to see Yingying, do you? Let's go over there."
As soon as they passed by, Tu Jiaojiao quickly stood up and, after Xie Xiu's introduction, bowed to Jiang Er with great confidence.
Jiang Er also bowed politely, glanced at her lightly and quickly retracted his gaze, not looking at Tu Jiaojiao for long, looking like a young master from a noble family.
Xie Xiu then asked Xie Rou and Xie Tang to pay their respects to Jiang Er.
Jiang Er looked at the beautiful Xie Rou and the clever Xie Tang, and quickly took out four white jade peace lockets as a gift for the four children.
However, Xie Rou and Xie Tang did not dare to accept it and looked at Xie Xiu.
Xie Xiu declined for a while, then put it away on behalf of the children and asked Tu Jiaojiao to take it into the house and keep it properly.
Jiang Er didn't pay attention to this little detail and looked directly at Xie Ying and Xie Di.
Seeing Xie Ying looking at him with her eyes wide open, Xie Di turned his head and stared at the grilled meat not far away. His mouth was watering with greed and he kept struggling to get over. He found it particularly funny.
"Brother Keji, your little son is really interesting. Look, he's drooling with greed. Aren't you afraid of spoiling him?"
Jiang Er suddenly said excitedly, as if he had discovered a new world, "Huh? I noticed that your little daughter is fatter than your little son?"
Xie Ying narrowed her eyes unhappily. She didn't like what she heard!
[Hey, hey, hey, are you polite? Can you even speak? What do you mean I'm fatter than my brother? It's obviously just that my brother is too thin! What does it have to do with me?]
Look at this silly boy, drooling over the barbecue. You can tell he's a picky eater! Unlike me, I'm not picky about anything!
Xie Ying was complaining madly in her heart, but when she smelled the delicious aroma of meat, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva.
[This barbecue smells so good! Grandma is such a great cook!]
Tu Yong, Liu Zhichun, Xie Xiu, Xie Rou, and Xie Tang: "..."
Everyone was speechless. Xie Ying herself was greedy, so how could she have the nerve to talk about Xie Di?
Soon Tu Yong grilled a bunch of meat skewers and brought them over to invite Jiang Er to taste them.
Jiang Er was also very greedy, and was about to reach out to take it when he heard Xie Di screaming "Ah ah" in panic.
I turned my head and saw that the child was dancing his limbs and drooling like a waterfall!
How greedy!
The key point is that he is still so young and can’t eat it!
Jiang Er looked at Xie Ying curiously again, and saw that she was also staring at the barbecue, as if she really wanted to try it.
Xie Ying was eager to try: [Actually, I've already grown teeth, so it shouldn't be a problem if I eat a little, right?]
