Chapter 559

"Are you awake?" Tang Xi smiled sweetly at him, "Uncle Huang and I went out to buy something to eat."

She knew that Xie Cheng definitely didn't sleep well, moreover, he slept later than her, so she didn't want to disturb him.

Xie Cheng nodded slightly at Uncle Huang, then took the oil-paper bag from Tang Xi's hand, and asked with a smile, "What did you buy?"

"I just bought some buns and snacks." She stuffed all the things into his arms, and said with a smile, "You take them back first, and I'll make some tea."

Uncle Huang laughed and said, "The girl doesn't need to go, the old man can just go."

"How is that possible?" Tang Xi shook his head, "You are so tired after walking for so long, you should sit down first."

"I haven't formally introduced you yet," Xie Cheng said quietly to Uncle Huang, "This is my future wife Tang Xi."

"I know, Miss Tang." Uncle Huang said with a smile, "I found out today."

He heard Mo Qing and Chen Luo call Tang Xi Miss Tang today, so he knew that the girl's surname was Tang.

As for the relationship between Tang Xi and Xie Cheng, he also vaguely guessed it.

Tang Xi smiled and said, "You go back and sit and chat, and I'll make tea."

"You wait." Xie Cheng motioned her to wait a moment, took the things back to the lobby and put them away, and then came out and said, "I'll accompany you."

"Okay." Uncle Huang said with a smile, "Then I'll leave the rough work to you young people."



After breakfast, Uncle Huang's son-in-law came over.

After learning that Xie's mansion was coming, he was very happy, and for this reason, he specially discussed with Xie Cheng about changing people to guard the courtyard.

"My father has been guarding for more than ten years, and now he is old, and his legs and feet are not good. Thank you, City Lord, look, why don't you change to a younger person to guard."

Xie Cheng nodded slightly, "Okay."

Uncle Huang's son-in-law nodded after hearing this, "Then when you find someone, just let me know and I'll take my father back."

"You should take him back today."

Xie Cheng smiled faintly, and he glanced at Mo Yi.

Mo Yi understood, took a bank note and handed it to Uncle Huang, "This is 5000 taels, it's for Uncle Huang's pension."

"Oh, this can't be done!" Uncle Huang panicked: "Back then, the old city lord gave the old man 1000 taels, and the old man promised him that he would guard the yard for the Xie family until he grows old."

His son-in-law nodded upon hearing this, "If that's the case, then we won't accept the silver ticket!"

Although they are short of money, they should not take it, and they dare not covet it.

"Just take it." Xie Cheng took the banknote and stuffed it into Uncle Huang's hands, "This man is old and has some money by his side, so he can feel more at ease."

"That's not going to take so much!" Uncle Huang said gratefully, "Old man, I'll be an upright person in my life. I can't be greedy for your juniors' money. I'd better take it back."

As he said, he handed back the silver ticket, and said with a smile: "If you want to give it, you can give it ten taels and 20 taels. It’s useless to hold the money.”

"Father, what are you talking about?" His son-in-law said displeasedly, "You want to live a long life, how can you say such unlucky words?"

"Exactly!" Tang Xi laughed and said, "Uncle Huang will definitely live a long life."

After hearing this, Uncle Huang laughed so hard that he could see his teeth but couldn't see his eyes, "Auspicious words from Miss Cheng!"

Xie Cheng glanced at the little girl and smiled silently.

He raised his eyes and said to Uncle Huang: "That's what you said, if you don't accept it, what will you do for the remaining decades?"

Mo Yi pushed Uncle Huang's hand back, and said: "Just accept it, this is also our master's wish!"
