safe house

Chapter 136 A Request

Xie Zhifu drank a cup of tea to relieve the bitter taste in his mouth.

Glancing at Xie Kui who was sitting below, he said softly, "Go back and tell Mingtang that you don't have to worry about anything."

When my body recovers, naturally everything will support him.

Xie Kui smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, my lord, this is the first time I've had a peaceful drink of tea in so many days."

After pondering for a while, he added: "It's not all because of the son's order."

I am also very worried about my master.

These words made Zhifu Xie very upset!

He chuckled, "Why are you so nervous? The old man is not so easy to deal with."

His voice was loud, with confidence and arrogance in his tone.

Xie Kui nodded again and again, "Your Excellency is right!"

Xie Zhifu picked up a piece of sour plum and chewed it carefully in his mouth, "I heard that you lost someone?"

"Yes!" Xie Kui nodded in shame, "I thought..."

He wanted to follow Zhifu Xie's words and spit out his bitterness.

Seeing that Zhifu Xie was holding the tea bowl, stroking the powdered tea on it with a calm expression, he swallowed the words as soon as they reached his mouth.

When he was young, he was the personal bodyguard of Xie Zhifu.

Therefore, he is very clear about some of Xie Zhifu's action habits.

Just like at this time, don't look at his calm and amiable appearance.In fact, I have already started to get angry.

Having been a steward for so many years, it is clear what to say, what not to say, and when to say what to say.

He sighed: "There are too many things encountered along the way."

"But it's okay, this way, it has let us know some little-known things."

Change complaints into narratives.

Prefect Xie leaned back on the chair and asked lazily, "Oh? Tell me, what did you find?"

Xie Kui smiled and detailed what he had seen and heard along the way.

In my heart, I let out a long sigh of relief, this test is considered to be over.

·························
After Luo Mingchuan pulled out the last silver needle, he was already dripping with sweat.

Chuncao quickly handed her a warm handkerchief, "Girl, wipe your face!"

"En!" Luo Mingchuan agreed, then took the handkerchief and wiped his hands.

"Miss Luo knows Guo Liang?" Zhifu Xie opened his eyes and sat up slowly from the bed.

Madam Xie quickly took a coat and put it on him, and said softly, "Master, be careful of catching a cold."

The movements of Luo Mingchuan's hands remained unchanged, and he said softly: "I met you in court yesterday. It's not considered acquaintance."

"Oh, that's right!" Zhifu Xie replied lightly, as if he believed it.

After Luo Mingchuan packed his things, he said in a low voice, "Master Xie, rest first, I'll go out first."

Zhifu Xie gave Madam Xie a faint look, Madam Xie smiled and asked to stay, "Miss Luo, if you are not in a hurry, sit down and have a cup of tea."

it's here?
Luo Mingchuan rolled his eyes around, smiled and shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'd better not bother Mr. Xie to rest."

Mrs. Xie shook her head with a smile, and said softly, "I'm sorry for not making it clear."

"I made someone make this year's new tea, Miss Luo, come over and taste it."

Mrs. Xie let him go to the small living room outside and ordered him to serve refreshments.

Xie Zhifu sat in the first place and said with a smile: "Miss Luo, the old man's health will improve."

"It's all thanks to you! Tell me, how should I thank you?"

Humph, old fox!
Deliberately using "old man" instead of "my official" is because I don't want her to make too much demands?
Or in other words, he is not afraid of her talking loudly, but only afraid that she does not understand the rules.

It's disgusting enough!

Luo Mingchuan was ridiculed in his heart, but it didn't show on his face.

She took a sip of her tea and said with a smile: "It's a matter of loyalty to someone who entrusts you. You don't have to be polite, Mr. Xie."

"You can't say that!" Mr. Xie smiled and waved his hands, "If someone finds out, wouldn't you want to laugh at my ignorance?"

Luo Mingchuan raised his brows in surprise, "How do outsiders know about the affairs of your lord's house?"

Your backyard is not safe!
The backyard is not safe. Doesn't it mean that she, the mistress of the house, has not taken good care of the house?
What a wild girl with no rules!

Mrs. Xie, who was shot while lying down, didn't like Luo Mingchuan at all, but because of the presence of Zhifu Xie, she didn't dare to say anything more.

The city of Xie Zhifu is quite deep.

He took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Miss Luo misunderstood!"

"However, since Miss Luo is not interested in yellow and white things, she can make a request."

"As long as the old man can do it, I will never shirk it!"

This is pretty good!

Luo Mingchuan smiled and blinked, "Master Xie said so, I can't just refuse."

Finally showing the fox tail!

Prefect Xie hooked the corners of his lips proudly.

He just said, it's not relative, why is she willing to come and treat him?
There must be some purpose.

No, I endured it for a long time, and finally couldn't bear it anymore.

But what he didn't expect was that Luo Mingchuan's answer surprised him again.

I only heard Luo Mingchuan say: "However, I want to save this request first."

"After I think it over in the future, how about asking for help?"

Isn't Guo Liang a ready-made request?

Zhifu Xie looked at her in surprise, could it be that he guessed wrong?

Will not!
He has been in the officialdom for many years, and he thinks he is very accurate in judging people.

This Luo Mingchuan must have something to ask for.

"Miss Luo said so, I am not a stingy person."

Xie Zhifu said with a smile: "I just hope that the girl will not make me wait too long."

Luo Mingchuan choked nonchalantly: "I believe that adults won't play tricks on me, a little girl."

I don't believe you won't admit it when the time comes!

Zhifu Xie slowly raised his head, and had to look at the person in front of him again.

He realized that he couldn't see through her? !
Mrs. Xie received Zhifu Xie's gaze, and asked curiously: "Miss Luo, let me ask you a question."

"You refused to accept our money, but he paid you because of Mingtang?"

Luo Mingchuan glanced at Zhifu Xie, then said with a smile: "He just paid the fare for the journey."

"Ignorant woman!" Prefect Xie glared at Mrs. Xie pretending to be angry.

Ask everything, there are really no rules.

Luo Mingchuan lowered his eyes and concentrated on tasting tea, as if he didn't see the interaction between the two people at all.

"What a greedy, greedy girl!" After Luo Mingchuan left, Mrs. Xie said indignantly, biting her back teeth.

In her eyes, Luo Mingchuan's refusal to ask for money must be plotting something bigger.

Xie Zhifu gave her a funny look, "If she wants it, I'll give it to her?"

"Don't get angry with a little girl!"

It's just a helpless little girl, is there any need to be afraid of her?
However, it is still necessary to find out the purpose of her coming to the state capital.
