Chapter 153 Chapter 153: Whoever Persuades is the Enemy (Part [-])
Chang Xi looked at John, only to see that the other party felt her gaze and smiled at her as a gentleman. Compared with James, this John was more polite and gentlemanly, so she also smiled, "I have no objection to you making friends with him , But you know his situation, I will not allow such a reckless behavior like today, John, I hope you can understand my desire to protect him."

This is very euphemistic, but John, who has been in Dayu Dynasty for some years, still heard the subtext all at once. The woman in front of him doesn't want him to get close to the man named Lin Yuqi. As James said before, this woman is called Chang Niang The woman is extremely difficult to deal with.

Although she always has a smile on her face, her words are not harsh, and even her behavior makes people feel extremely comfortable, but he feels that there is always a mask on her face, and he can't touch it no matter what. Her sincerity, compared to Miss Xiaotao, who can see through the thoughts in her heart at a glance, this lady Chang is like the mountain hidden in the clouds and mist, which is hard to see and feel.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Chang, I will be more careful next time and won't scare him again."

Chang Xi smiled and waved his hands and said, "No, no, John, you misunderstood me, I mean don't let him scare you, you can't scare him like this." It will only irritate him.

Lin Yuqi doesn't allow anyone to disturb him when it comes to the things he cares about, not even her.

John's face couldn't help but look embarrassed, this ordinary woman really didn't take any losses from her mouth.

"By the way, where is Er Gouzi? Where did he go?" Chang Xi asked suddenly, and then said to John with an apologetic face, "John, I didn't expect Er Gouzi to be so dereliction of duty, so I'll change it for you." Reliable guide..."

When John heard this, he quickly stopped him and said, "Miss Chang, you misunderstood. Er Gouzi has been, um, dedicated to his duty. I asked him to go to the kitchen to serve me something to eat. He will be hungry when the time comes." Later, he was full of embarrassment, after all, he is eating and drinking for free in this other courtyard.

James grabbed John's neck, "Okay, okay, Chang will definitely not blame you, right? Chang."

Chang Xi smiled and nodded, "Our way of hospitality is to make guests feel at home, so, John, you must not be polite."

The embarrassment on John's face faded away, and he returned to his usual gentlemanly face.

Chang Xi didn't linger too long, and separated from the two after saying a few words.

Seeing her walking away, the gentlemanly expression on John's face instantly disappeared, and he said to James in British: "This lady is very strong."

James spread his hands and replied in the same language, "I advise you not to come, it will be difficult for you to develop her into a believer, God, Amen." He immediately made a sign of the cross on his chest.

John did not give up, "How would I know if I hadn't tried it? If I can develop her into a believer, I will be of great merit."

James sneered, thinking that he was wishful thinking, "In short, I don't care what you do, but I won't affect my friendship with her for you."

In the final analysis, the most important thing is to make money.

For what James said, John just smiled and didn't answer.

When Chang Xi returned to her residence, she saw Xiaotao was handling the accounts. As soon as she saw her coming in, she immediately got up to make tea, checked to see if Huniu was there, and immediately asked curiously.

"I sent her back to deliver the letter."

Only then did Xiaotao let out a soft "oh", and then served the brewed tea in front of Chang Xi, and then she was about to go over and sit down to continue doing the accounts, but Chang Xi pointed to the seat opposite, "Xiaotao, sit down, let's talk say."

Xiaotao didn't doubt that he was there, so she sat down directly. She thought that Chang Xi wanted to chat with someone, and even put melon seeds and other recreational foods on the table.

Seeing this, Chang Xi didn't stop her behavior, that's fine, she didn't want the atmosphere to be too serious, "Xiaotao, John is injured, do you know?" She said while staring at Xiaotao.

Xiaotao replied naturally, "I know." Then she thought that it was an injury she had suffered to save herself, so she was too embarrassed to say it, but she didn't mention that John wanted to take a portrait of her. I feel a little ashamed to say such a thing.

"Why didn't I hear you mention it before?" Chang Xi frowned.

Seeing Chang Xi's expression, Xiaotao was afraid that she might misunderstand, so she hurriedly said, "Miss Chang, you were busy making tea bricks a while ago, I don't want to bother you with these things, so I didn't mention it, Mistress Chang, don't get me wrong, I I didn't intend to hide it..."

Chang Xi reached out to hold her hand, "Don't be nervous, I didn't mean to blame you, it's just that you have to tell me these things, you know?"

Xiaotao nodded immediately and promised, "I won't do it next time."

Chang Xi clapped her hands to show that she understood, and then changed the subject, "When I went to visit John, I saw that little silver peach blossom you often wear fell on him. It's from my daughter's house. It's not good anyway."

Only then did Xiaotao cry out "ah", and immediately reached out to touch her head, but she did not touch the little peach blossom made of broken silver, "I accidentally dropped it, Mrs. Chang, I'll go get it back right away."

After speaking, she immediately got up and saluted before rushing out.

Chang Xi didn't stop her, but watched Xiao Tao's hurried back disappear before her eyes. On the way back, she had already made up her mind that she would not give Xiao Tao any advice. If she really fell in love, it would be useless for her to say anything. Women have always been incapable of persuasion in terms of affection, and whoever persuades them is the enemy; if she is not emotional, then she should not say these things, and it is very likely to be self-defeating.

Girlish feelings are always poetry, and she also came from her girlhood. If she can understand this kind of vague emotion towards the opposite sex, let Xiaotao experience it by herself.

Just take this opportunity to see what that John is going to do, it's better not what she thinks, otherwise, hum!
Fortunately, she didn't see any emotion in Xiao Tao's eyes, her eyes were still crystal clear.

When Xiaotao came back, she was followed by an annoyed Ergouzi.

Chang Xi looked over Xiaotao's head and saw the little silver peach blossom, so she temporarily put the matter aside, then looked at Er Gouzi while drinking tea, "Do you know where I went wrong?"

In fact, Er Gouzi had already realized that John had deliberately distracted him, but when he rushed back, the show was over there, and he only knew what happened just now after listening to other people's discussions.

"Miss Chang, I'm not doing my job well, so please punish me."

Chang Xi frowned when she saw the young man kneeling down to beg for punishment. She really didn't like this behavior of kneeling back and forth, but for Er Gouzi, who didn't read much, if she didn't let him kneel, I'm afraid he would really Will cry out, thinking that she is not willing to forgive him.

That's all, let's just go with it.

"You will be fined twenty Wen of silver, Xiao Tao, please write it down."

Upon hearing the punishment of [-] Wen, Er Gouzi gritted his teeth in distress, but now he dared not argue, for fear of losing this hard-won job.

"Er Gouzi, do you know where you went wrong?" Chang Xi asked again.

Ergouzi has actually made a deep self-criticism, "That foreign devil named John has always been very talkative, and he is also very kind to me. When I asked where to go to see the scenery, he followed with his drawing board on his back, so... I just I was careless, I thought he was a fool, so I didn't need to worry too much, so... I couldn't help but relax, and then... I made a mistake."

He knew that he thought too much of John, so he didn't stare too closely at him.

Chang Xi saw that the two dogs didn't look like they were lying, so she didn't pursue it any further. For a smart person, the point should be clear, otherwise it would be counterproductive, so she signaled the two dogs to get up.

Only then did Er Gouzi secretly heave a sigh of relief, but fortunately Mrs. Chang was still willing to use him, which made him even more determined to handle this errand well.

"Where have you been with John recently?"

"John has been in the other courtyard since his hand was injured, and this little peach girl can testify." Er Gouzi said, "Before he was injured, he went to the back hillside of our village... By the way, he even went to the workshop On the higher hillside next to it, he said that the house in our workshop was well built, and he wanted to do a painting on a high place..."

Chang Xi just listened and did not interrupt his narration. In fact, it was useless for John to climb up the hillside. When designing this factory building, she deliberately used the angle of the eaves to block the possibility of peeping into the workshop from high places. So it's useless to look at it from a high altitude.

On the other hand, Xiaotao was terrified when she heard these words. There was no problem in hearing these words, but when she thought about them carefully, she found that everything was inconsistent, and she couldn't tell what was wrong. In short, she was keenly aware that things seemed to be not what she thought.

She has always treated John as a guest, and he has saved herself, which is a benefactor, so her behavior of taking care of him is just to repay the favor, and has no other thoughts.

But now after listening to this conversation, she doesn't think so anymore. Mrs. Chang obviously doesn't trust John, she narrows her eyes slightly, and gradually has an idea in her heart.

From the corner of Chang Xi's eyes, she saw Xiao Tao's expression changing back and forth, and knew that her mood must be fluctuating a lot, so this is enough for the time being.

After beating Er Gouzi a bit, and rewarding him with two plates of pastries, Er Gouzi left contentedly, feeling extremely grateful for Chang Xi's kindness.

After dinner, Xiao Tao went out again, Chang Xi didn't stop her, but Hu Niu frowned, looking hesitant to speak.

Finally, she couldn't help but said, "Miss Chang, Miss Xiaotao... has been running towards John these days, is that okay?"

After all, Xiaotao is Mrs. Chang's personal maid, if bad rumors spread, wouldn't it hurt Mrs. Chang's reputation?This is one, and the other is that she always feels that John the foreign devil is not of my race, and his heart must be different. Xiaotao is too close to him, and she is afraid that he will take advantage of him.

Chang Xi just replied indifferently, "Xiao Tao will have a sense of proportion."

She has already tightened the strings that should be tightened, so she will not lose confidence in this little girl.

Huniu didn't say anything more, since Mrs. Chang said so, let's just believe it. At worst, she should observe more in private, so that Xiaotao won't fall into the trap of someone with a heart.

After all, she always felt that Xiaotao fell off the horse that day, it seemed that it was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
