Xia Zhihe chatted with the woman for a long time, and the more they chatted, the closer they became. Xia Luotong saw with his own eyes the way Xia Zhihe kept talking and the change in the expression on the girl's face. It was obvious that she had a great liking for Xia Zhihe.
It has to be said that Xia Zhihe's appearance is really quite capable of intimidating people. Otherwise, how could a noblewoman of Li's status in the capital insist on marrying him? He had many noble daughters, and he chose Li, the one with the best family background.
The two people chatted there for a while. After Xia Zhihe said something else, Xia Luotong saw that the woman's expression seemed to have slightly changed, becoming... more deliberately delicate...
Xia Luotong couldn't help but wonder: "It's a pity that I couldn't hear what they said. I saw that the woman's expression suddenly changed. I wonder if Xia Zhihe said something."
Wu Zechen beside her opened her mouth to clarify her confusion: "Xia Zhihe revealed his identity as the Minister of Rites."
Xia Luotong looked back in surprise and asked in surprise: "Can you hear what they are saying?"
"I can read lips, but I can indeed hear some, not very clear." Wu Zechen nodded.
"Oh my God! It's so far away! What kind of magical hearing is this? Is it possible that a highly skilled martial artist with internal strength can do it?" Xia Luotong was shocked and looked at Wu Zechen in disbelief.
"It's just that you are more sensitive if you have internal power. How far you can hear depends on how deep your internal power is." Wu Zechen couldn't help but explain with a smile when he saw her eyes widening in surprise.
"Then your internal strength must be extremely deep, right?" Xia Luotong asked curiously, thinking of the observation of his body during the treatment, "Among the martial arts practitioners who have cultivated internal strength, are you considered top-notch?"
Although she didn't have many comparisons, she knew that Wu Zechen's internal strength was much stronger than Wu Yongyuan's.
After hearing this, Wu Zechen just raised a slight smile and said nothing more, but Xia Luotong already understood what he meant and couldn't help but wrinkled his nose in amusement and said: "Narcissism!"
While they were chatting, Xia Zhihe and the woman who were in the bookstore opposite had already walked downstairs together, talking and laughing, and in a blink of an eye, they were out of the bookstore, and they were walking away together along the street.
"Xia Zhihe wants to take Miss Sun around the capital, and Miss Sun has agreed." Wu Zechen glanced at the figure who had gone away and said to Xia Luotong.
Just as Xia Luotong was about to ask Miss Sun about it, he suddenly saw two figures appearing by the window on the second floor of the bookstore opposite: "Are those... the shopkeeper of the bookstore and his daughter?"
The reason for this speculation was mainly because the expressions on the faces of the two people were very ugly, and the woman among them could not conceal her jealousy and anger. Both of them stared in the direction of Xia Zhihe and did not look back for a long time. .
"That's right, they are the father and daughter." After saying that, Wu Zechen saw the father and daughter say a few words before turning back and disappearing by the window, and then continued to say to Xia Luotong, "The father and daughter Ren'an can't stand it any longer and is ready to discuss using some means to enter Xia Mansion as soon as possible."
"Want to enter the Xia Mansion? Let me help them!" Xia Luotong's eyes lit up and he immediately said with a smile.
Looking at the sparkling look in her eyes, Wu Zechen knew that she had another idea. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't help but raise his finger and tap her forehead: "Have you thought of another bad idea?"
Xia Luotong immediately slapped off his slender fingers with dissatisfaction, glared, and said dissatisfied: "What do you mean a bad idea?!"
"Good idea, it was a slip of the tongue. Everything Tong'er came up with was a good idea." Wu Zechen immediately admitted his mistake unconditionally.
"That's pretty much it!" Xia Luotong glanced at him, raising his head with a look of arrogance on his face.
However, he didn't hold on for long, and the next moment he showed a sly smile, pulled Wu Zechen's sleeves and walked out, and kept urging: "Hurry, hurry, the smell may disappear if it's too late! "
"Where are you going? What are you doing?" Although Wu Zechen asked in confusion, he had no intention of resisting at all. He let the man pull his sleeves with great obedience, and his slender hands held his black material to make his skin whiter. Petite, the more he looked at it, the more he wanted to wrap that little hand in his palm and put it in his heart.
"Go to the bookstore opposite. Didn't you just say that every time Xia Zhihe went to the shopkeeper's daughter for a private meeting, he would bring a sachet with him? I want to go there and see if I can find anything!" Xia Luotong hurriedly walked. , answered Wu Zechen while walking forward.
Wu Zechen suddenly realized that this was the reason. In order to prevent her from dragging him and tiring him, he took two steps to her side, then raised his hand to put the fox fur on her to protect her from the cold, and then accompanied her to put it on. Cross the street and arrive at the bookstore opposite.
There were many customers in the bookstore, but it was very quiet. Xia Luotong and Wu Zechen went up to the second floor and went directly to the bookshelf where Xia Zhihe stayed the longest just now. They sniffed carefully among the bookshelves, while Wu Zechen was standing aside. He was talking to the guard who followed him.
The remaining smell in the air was very weak, but fortunately, Xia Zhihe had touched a lot of books before, and the scent of the sachet was more or less tainted on it, which was enough for her to distinguish the ingredients.
Xia Luotong secretly thought that it was okay. If he had come a little later, he might not even be able to retain this smell.
After confirming the composition of the sachet, Xia Luotong directly called Wu Zechen to leave the bookstore and boarded the waiting palace carriage.
"Is there anything gained?" Wu Zechen looked at Xia Luotong, who was smiling next to him, and already knew her answer.
"Yes! It seems that Mr. Xia is destined to be blessed with many children! I hope the people in the Xia Mansion won't thank me too much, or I will be embarrassed!" Xia Luotong's face was full of pride, and he was even a little excited.
"Mrs. Xia will thank you." Seeing her happiness, Wu Zechen couldn't help but smile, and consciously handed her a cup of hot tea and food to keep her warm and satisfy her cravings.
"Do you really want me to get fat? If you keep eating like this, I won't even have to eat." Xia Luotong only took the hot tea, and then asked curiously, "Mrs. Xia still wants a grandson?"
"I think, and I really think about it, if it weren't for Mr. Li Ge behind the Li family, and the vicious methods of the Li family, the Xia Mansion would not be so sparsely populated, with only a pair of twins born by the Li family, and A sickly concubine born from a concubine." Wu Zechen explained.
Since the Li family was in charge of the inner house and did not allow Xia Zhihe to take concubines, she naturally would not allow the only two concubines to give birth to sons. Originally, I was afraid that even the only concubine had no chance to be born, but later she somehow escaped. After Jie was born, and because she was not in good health when she was born, Li didn't pay much attention to it.
