The group of people walked towards Lianghua Building. Along the way, Xiao Yu was talking about how powerful and amazing the uncle just now was.
"I will practice martial arts hard in the future to be as powerful as him." Xiao Yu said yearningly, and even Wang Tiandong on the side nodded.
"I don't know the names of the two benefactors just now? He saved his sister and Yu'er without even coming to thank him and left." Xiao Han said regretfully. He never saw that his benefactor felt regretful, and he didn't know their names. He didn't know who they were. How to thank.
"One of them is my cousin, Shi Tingyu, and the other is Xia Wu, my brother." Xia Xiaoba said.
From the moment Prince Dingguo was established as the Crown Prince, the eight most outstanding young men in the clan were selected as the Crown Prince's bodyguards, and they served for life until their death.
"Uncle Xiaoba, you just said that he is your fourth cousin, how many cousins do you have, and Uncle Xiawu, your name is Xiaoba, are you really the eighth?" Xiao Yu asked.
"Haha, we have a lot of brothers in our family." Xia Xiaoba chuckled and called the eldest son his fourth cousin, or he was just thinking out of necessity. The identity of the eldest son should not be made public, otherwise how could he dare to call him his elder brother? , the following is committed.
As for the brothers in the family, there are many. Xia Xiaoba calculated carefully and found that, well, there are really a lot. In addition to the eight of them being the personal guards of the prince, there are also many cousins in the family.
Ever since the first ancestor of the Xia family became the personal guard of the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, the Xia family has served the Marquis Mansion for generations. Over the past hundred years, it has developed from a small family into a big family. Although his grandfather had already served as the Marquis of Dingguo. The old marquis freed them from the Xia family's slave status, but the descendants of the Xia family have always followed the instructions of their ancestors and served the Shi family of the Marquis of Dingguo from generation to generation.
The business at Qionghua Building was as usual and booming. When Xiao Ming and others entered, they were spotted by Duan Yan who was just waiting at the door to see off guests. His face lit up with joy. Duan Yan hurriedly walked a few steps to greet the visitor with a considerate and considerate attitude.
"Doctor Xiao, Young Master Xiao, Young Master Xia, and Young Master Xiao came to Qionghua Building and were not welcomed from afar." Duan Yan politely led Xiao Ming and the five of them into the restaurant, and greeted the waiter: "Hurry up and go to the kitchen. Several bowls of chilled sour plum soup came up, and I asked the kitchen to hurry up and cook the signature dish of our store, and invite Dr. Xiao and others to try it. "
Duan Yan's shouting alarmed all the diners in the hall on the first floor. They all raised their heads to see who was so famous that Duan Yan, the steward of Qionghua Building, greeted him so politely.
Oh, it turned out to be a few boys, I don’t know whose son they are.
Duan Yan didn't care about the strange looks from others, but he turned to Xiao Ming and others with enthusiasm and kindness and said: "You guys are all tired after visiting the city. Come quickly to Biyunsha to cool down, have a bowl of sour plum soup, and relieve your pain. heat."
What a joke, yesterday the young master told him seriously that he must entertain Xiao Ming well and agree to all her requests no matter what. You must know that now Xiao Ming can be regarded as the bread and butter of their Qionghua House. Without the vegetables provided by Xiao Ming's family, their Qionghua Building would not be where it is now.
Xia Xiaoba's eyes lit up with satisfaction, "Well, you're wise, it's worth it for us to pick vegetables for you every day."
Entering Biyunsha, the top private room in Qionghua Building, Xiao Ming and others immediately felt a cool breath. Looking around, it turned out that there were ice basins placed in the four corners inside. Compared to the scorching heat outside, staying here was really nice. enjoy.
Xiao Yu and Wang Tiandong jumped up and down in the cool room, playing around happily.
"It's so cool." Xiao Yu was so comfortable that he leaned on the railing and looked at the street view below. He pointed at the square in front and said, "Tiandong, come and look, you can see the square in front."
Looking in the direction of Xiao Yu's finger, he could indeed see the place where they had just watched the performance, but unfortunately there was no longer a wonderful acrobatic performance there.
"Yu'er, Tiandong, come here quickly, be careful of falling." Xiao Han shouted.
Duan Yan personally received the sour plum soup from the waiter at the door and came in, saying hello: "Doctor Xiao and the young masters, have some iced sour plum soup to cool off the heat. It's very hot today."
Putting the sour plum soup in front of each guest, Duan Yan exited the room with a wink, "You guys will chat slowly, the younger one will go down first. If you need anything, just call the guy at the door."
"Thank you." Xiao Ming thanked her. The treatment was great. The service in the presidential suite was attentive and she didn't even have to order the food herself.
I picked it up and took a bite. It tasted really good, sweet and sour, refreshing and delicious. I couldn't help shouting at Xiao Yu and Wang Tiandong who refused to leave the balcony railing.
"Yu'er, come over and drink sour plum soup in Tiandong."
Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Yu heard that there was something delicious, he came over immediately, with Wang Tiandong following behind him like a little follower.
"He just listens to you, even if I tell him to." Xiao Han looked at Xiao Yu and Wang Tiandong who were drinking sour plum soup obediently.
"You, they follow you every day, and you still argue with me about this." Xiao Ming sipped the sour plum soup, looking at Xiao Han's taste in a funny way.
"How can it be the same?" Xiao Han whispered, following him every day but not obeying his orders, he stopped talking, lowered his head and drank attentively, the sour, sweet and icey taste quenched his thirst and relieved the heat.
"Kong Lin's restaurant is a good one." Xia Xiaoba said. When he entered, he didn't rush to speak but looked around. It was very similar to the decoration style in the capital. It seems that Kong Lin still put a lot of thought into it.
Not long after, the dishes were brought out one after another. Just like yesterday, they filled the entire table, and they were stacked on top of each other.
"Wow, there are so many delicious foods." Xiao Yu looked at the dishes on the table and exclaimed, it was really delicious, but he was not in a hurry to use his chopsticks when faced with such rich and delicious dishes.
Facing such a sumptuous dish, everyone couldn't stand it for a long time. Xiao Ming was the first to pick up the chopsticks and pick up a piece of chicken for Xiao Yu before saying: "Let's start."
Unexpectedly, while several people were enjoying their meal, Xiao Ming revealed what she had been planning in her heart.
"Xiao Han, how about adding a few more people to our family?" Xiao Ming asked.
"Add someone." Xiao Han paused.
"It's good to buy slaves. The slaves you buy are obedient and reliable." Xia Xiaoba swallowed the food in his mouth and agreed. He had long suggested that Xiao Ming add a few more people to his family. They were the only ones in the family who got up in the morning to practice martial arts. , picking vegetables and watering them, and then going to the town to study, I was as tired as a dog.
Although they bought two new siblings, Wang Yunling and Wang Tiandong, they are unfortunately too young to be able to do anything. Especially since their house has recently been renovated, people come and go all day long, and there are too many idle people. They often sneak into the orchard to steal. When it comes to picking fruits, the orchard is too big to guard against.
"Well, I might as well buy a few." Xiao Han thought for a moment and nodded. He had to practice martial arts and study every day, and the things at home were really beyond his capabilities.
"I've thought about it. I need to add more people in the kitchen to help with cooking, cleaning the yard, and choosing a book boy for you. I also need to choose someone to guard the fruit. The fruit will be ripe soon." Xiao Ming calculated carefully. , and pointed out the areas where additional manpower was needed.
Most of the work at home is done by my godmother, which is really hard on her.
"Well, I also want to buy a girl to serve my godmother." Xiao Han nodded.
"That's right." Xiao Ming nodded.
