Chapter 150

When Eugene enters the room, Xia Xi has cleaned the table, points to a stool on one side and asks him to sit down. She whispers softly,

"Cousin, what are your plans for the future?"

As soon as Eugene got to the stool, he suddenly heard Xia Xi's question and stood up again, "I, I, I..."

Xia Xi quickly appeases him, "I just ask casually, big cousin doesn't have to be afraid."

Eugene didn't dare to sit. He just stood, his hands and feet not knowing where to put them, his brain buzzing.

He didn't know the meaning of Xia Xi's question, but his intuition was that Xia Xi didn't want to let their family work here. After all, his mother was very hard to deal with, and she certainly went to her aunt's house these two days.

"Watch, cousin, want, if..."

Eugene really can't say that if Xia Xi is hard to do, his family can go.

Because here, as long as they work hard, their family will have food and shelter, but if they really leave, they don't know where to go.

See his expression, you know what Eugene is thinking, Xia Xi try to put a light voice, "big cousin, you really misunderstood, I'm not to drive you away, I'm to ask you what you plan next."

Eugene's mind was clear at once. He looked up at Xia Xi, and his lips moved. "Really, really don't you drive us away?"

"Since I said to let you come here, I won't drive you away."

Eugene's dim eyes lit up and bowed, "thank you, cousin. Thank you, cousin."

Xia Xi stretched out her hand and said, "my cousin, don't be so polite. You sit down first."

Eugene sat down carefully.

Xia Xi directly into the subject, "is this so, I listen to my mother said, you have read a few years?"

"Yes."

At that time, you's parents were still alive. Eugene was their treasure. All the good things in the family were close to him. At the age of five, they sent him to school to enlighten him.

"Do you remember those words?"

"Remember some."

"What about accounting, will it?"

"No

Xia Xi thought, "in this way, I leave you a few big words every day, you learn every night, write to me the next day."

Although he didn't know what Xia Xi suddenly asked him to learn to write for, Eugene was very nervous, but he didn't hesitate to say, "OK."

"By the way, and your two children, let them write with you."

Eugene opens his mouth and wants to say something. Xia Xi interrupts him, "Qi'er has no playmate. Don't let the two children work in the future. Stay with Qi'er, whether it's playing or practicing calligraphy."

When Eugene understood Xia Xi's intention, he replied, "I know."

……

After the workers left, the busy women began to eat. Xia Xi took advantage of this time to go out and buy a lot of ink.

Most of them were given to Eugene's daughter-in-law, who was asked to put them in the house where they lived. The rest were put in the house where they had just eaten, ready to let Kiel practice calligraphy.

When everything is ready, she leads Qi'er and Hu Zi to the place where the house is built and asks the coachman of the villa to send them.

Yesterday, Fengche let her go. She didn't dare to be late today, otherwise it wasn't Fengche how to treat her.

The carriage stops at the entrance of the villa. When she hears something moving outside, Xia Xi lifts the driving curtain to see that two large carriages are blocked at the door, and the guards at the door are carefully checking.

The housekeeper was there, too.

He thought it was Qin Liang who came back. He took a strange look and saw Xia Xi. He was very happy and said, "Lady Xia, you are here."

"Housekeeper, this is

"The vegetables from Jingli are sent back every month. They are being checked. I'll ask them to let you go first."

"No, I'll just walk over."

Get off the carriage and let the coachman drive back to pick up Qin Liang.

Xia Xi leads Qi'er and Hu Zi to the Orchid Pavilion.

As soon as she entered the gate of the villa, Feng Che knew it. On her expressionless face, the corners of her mouth moved, and the pieces that had fallen also changed the momentum of the attack and slowed down.

Xia Xi didn't come right away. She cleaned up in the Lanting yard for a while, and then went to the kitchen. Some vegetables had moved in. Xia Xi looked at them, potatoes, green peppers, onions, cabbage, carrots, and all kinds of vegetables. She was surprised, "there are so many vegetables?"

The kitchen manager didn't see her for several days. She was very happy to see her come to the kitchen. She said, "Lady Xia doesn't know something. These vegetables are stored in season. They are put in the ice cellar and specially wait for this time to eat."

"It's not cheap, is it?"

"It's not cheap, it's impossible to buy it! These are all planted and preserved by our Chuang Tzu. Without these, we would have to eat Chinese cabbage for the winter. "

It's still early. It's not suitable for cooking at this time. Xia Xi picked a few potatoes in her hand, peeled them, washed them, sliced them, blanched them, drained them, then poured oil into the pot, controlled the oil temperature, and fried them into simple chips.

No one in the kitchen had ever seen this kind of food and looked at each other.

"It's a snack."

Xia Xi explained, "it's better to dip it in sauce."

"Yes, yes, yes."

In response to the sound of the kitchen manager, he moved a big jar over. "It's big sauce in it. It's my unique craft. It's very delicious."

Xia Xi

"Do you have ketchup?"

One of them looked at each other again, and the steward asked carefully, "what is ketchup?"

"As the name suggests, it's tomato sauce."

The manager thought it was incredible, "Lady Xia joked. How can tomatoes be made into sauce?"

Xia Xi can't explain, waved his hand, "forget it, I can't explain it to you."

Let people give Qi'er and tiger son sent some chips in the past, Xia Xi with a small plate came to Qinglan courtyard.

Feng an and Feng Zhong are good at both sides of the door. Seeing Xia Xi coming with a plate, Feng Zhong is just about to help her open the door. Feng an has already quickened him to open the door.

"Thank you."

Xia Xi goes in with a plate, and Feng an closes the door gently.

Feng Zhong

Carefully looked at him several eyes, the breeze Anne face has no facial expression, let him see.

Wind Che is still pretending to play chess, eyelid did not lift.

Xia Xi went over, pulled a chair and sat down beside him. Holding chopsticks, she picked up a potato chip and handed it to Fengche's mouth. "This is my snack. It's hot. Try it."

The wind lifted his eyes.

Xia Xi sent the chips to his mouth and said, "try it. It's delicious."

Wind Che finally opened his mouth, Xia Xi put French fries into his mouth, chewed twice, wind Che a face of disgust, "too bad."

"Does it taste bad?"

Xia Xi frowned, took back her hand, put a French fries in her mouth, "I think it's OK."

Her eyes were fixed on the chopsticks in her hand. Feng Che's ears turned red quickly. He opened his eyes and asked, "can you play chess?"

Xia Xi is strange, don't know just now still good, how but blink of an eye then angry, truthfully answer, "you have asked last time, I will not."

"Stupid!"

The girls in Beijing can bring one out at random. They are proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. They can't do anything like Xia Xi. It's absolutely rare.

"You're stupid."

Xia Xi Tucao in his heart, make complaints about the smile, "as you teach me."

The hand that wind Che plays chess is one meal, lift an eye again, Xia Xi took the opportunity to clip a French fries to pass to his side of the mouth, wind Che expression still dislikes, but still open mouth to eat, raise a hand, point the position opposite him, signal Xia Xi to sit down.

Xia Xi, with chopsticks in one hand and a plate in the other, sat there.

Feng Che rearranges the chessboard and simply tells her the rules. Xia Xi listens with a smile and feeds him with French fries from time to time.

Wind Che finished, rare warm voice, "listen to understand?"

"I see."

Xia Xi smiles.

"Do you want to win or lose?"

The breeze Che casually asked a sentence.

"Well, what's the bet?"

Wind Che voice inexplicably cold a few minutes, "what do you want to bet?"

"Silver, if you lose, give the other party 200 liang of silver."

Feng Che leaned back and leaned comfortably on the chair. His voice was warm again. "Two hundred liang? You dare to gamble

"Of course."

Xia Xi eyebrows pick, momentum is very sufficient, "I now but have 200000 taels of silver."

"Oh?"

The breeze Che also picks eyebrow, "is inferior to add weight, each bureau two thousand how?"

Xia Xi eyes light, "this is what you say, don't cheat."

Finish saying, put down chopsticks, staring at the chessboard, can't wait to say, "start."

As like as two peas, the wind rose up and the corners of the mouth rose. It seemed that he picked up a piece of chess and walked forward. Xia Xi followed closely and took the pawn. He took the chess piece and walked in the same direction as the wind.

Then again can't wait to urge wind Che, "you go quickly."

Feng Che

Another step, Xia Xi still follow, a look is no brain, her will not play incisively and vividly. But the spirit is commendable, has been closely staring at the chessboard, even to wind Che clip potato chips are forgotten.

Feng Che's mouth is getting higher and higher, and he is becoming more and more careless. There are still a few steps to take Xia Xi's army, but Xia Xi suddenly changes her chess path, and then,

Two steps later, Xia Xi smiles and reaches out to him, "sorry, master Feng, I won."

Wind Che looked at the chessboard, he was caught in the taxi and gun, eyes narrowed.

"Two thousand taels, you said."

Xia Xi's hand stretched out to remind him of his delay.

"Good wind!"

Feng an pushes the door in.

"Go to the accounting room and pay ten thousand taels of silver."

Feng an retreated, and soon came with the silver.

Feng Che put the banknotes on his side of the table, reorganized the chessboard, "again, if you can win three games, these banknotes are yours."

Xia Xi

Frowning, very distressed, "I just won two thousand Liang, OK?"

"What do you say?"

Xia Xi's face collapsed and murmured in a low voice, "I didn't know I would bet with you. Aren't you cheating?"

"What did you say?"

Xia Xi hurriedly accompanies smiling face, "didn't say anything, let's go on."

Another two sets, Xia Xi is still the same routine. Follow him in the front, and she will follow the same steps of Fengche.

The chess game on Fengche's side seems to have the upper hand and take the initiative. When he is ready to kill, her chess style immediately changes. After a few steps, she directly wins Fengche.

Losing three games in a row, Feng Che couldn't hang on his face. He threw the pieces into the chessboard and stared at Xia Xi. His voice was deep. "Can you play chess?"
