A happy event in a fertile field: the black-bellied husband is as beautiful as a flower

Chapter 574 The First Peach Blossom

As a result, after returning that evening, Yan'er rushed into the courtyard and said to Meng Yan out of breath, "It's terrible, Mrs. Xia turned five blocks today to get rid of that man!"

Meng Yan was a little confused: "Who are you dumping, please explain clearly."

Yan'er took a sip of water, and said slowly: "It's the accountant in Mr. Xu's pharmacy! The pharmacy has the best business, and Mrs. Xia went to work with him, but when Mrs. Xia was going home, he went Then, he said that he can rest assured only when Mrs. Xia arrives home safely! Mrs. Xia can't let him know that she is going back to the palace, but she can't stop him, so he can only let the coachman drive the carriage around the streets and alleys !"

Afterwards, Yan'er told Meng Yan what she had seen and heard in the pharmacy that day.

Maybe it was how the accountant took care of Mrs. Xia, not to mention bringing hot tea to Mrs. Xia from time to time, and let Mrs. Xia rest and relax her eyes after an hour and a half, and took over the work she was doing by himself.

When Meng Yan heard this, she couldn't sit still, and hurried to Xia's yard.

When Xia came back to rest in the courtyard, she opened the door and found that Meng Yan had already sat down in her room.

Meng Yan smiled very subtly, and said: "Mother, you are back, come in and sit down."

As he spoke, he poured a cup of hot tea for Xia, and Xia held it in his hand, somehow feeling that it would be wrong to drink it, and it would be wrong not to drink it.

Xia Shi asked, "Why are you here?"

"Come and see my mother," Meng Yan said, "You went to help Xu Shenfang's store these two days, did you gain anything?"

Xia took a sip of tea, and said earnestly: "There are some harvests, except for the bookkeeping in the account room, the shopkeepers are very good, and I have learned to identify some medicinal materials."

Meng Yan supported her head and smiled: "Really, that's really great, what else?"

Whatever Xia thought of, she talked to Meng Yan one after another, all of which happened in the pharmacy in the past two days.

Unexpectedly, Meng Yan suddenly asked mysteriously: "What kind of person is the accountant? What does mother think of him?"

Caught off guard, Xia choked on a mouthful of tea.

Meng Yan stretched out her hand to run along her back, and said, "Look at how nervous Mother is, don't worry, I can take my time and listen to what Mother has to say."

Xia Shi was speechless for a moment.

Meng Yan smiled leisurely and said slowly: "I heard that he is very considerate to mother."

Xia Shi was a little embarrassed, and said: "Don't talk nonsense, it's just working together temporarily, I'm not as familiar as him, he just gave me some pointers in time."

Meng Yan nodded, "When that mother came home, he followed closely behind, and he was also giving pointers?"

Xia said embarrassingly: "He didn't have any evil intentions, he was just worried that I would not be able to return home safely, so he followed. I told him not to follow, but he said he was worried and insisted on watching from behind. I couldn't, I can't let him know where I live, I just made a detour on the way back."

Meng Yan looked at Xia's beautiful face under the light, with a somewhat uncomfortable expression, and felt really happy in her heart.

Meng Yan raised the corner of her mouth and asked again: "Then why is he not worried about others, but only worried about mother?"

Xia Shi said: "Maybe it's because I'm a girl."

Meng Yan refilled her tea, said with a smile: "I guess, maybe he has a crush on his mother."

Xia's face retorted unnaturally: "My daughters are all married, and I'm already a grandmother. It doesn't matter whether you like it or not."

Meng Yan blinked, and said: "But the more you live, the younger your mother is. She has skills and is independent. Is it strange to be seen by others?"

Xia Shi scolded, "Stop talking about it."

Meng Yan approached with a smile, leaned on Xia's shoulder, and asked again: "Does mother like him?"

Xia Shi pushed her, but seeing that she couldn't let go, she had no choice but to respond perfunctorily: "I haven't thought about this."

"Think about it," Meng Yan said, "What kind of person does Mother hope to find to spend the rest of her life with?"

Xia Shi looked at her, angry and funny, and said: "Do you despise your mother?"

Meng Yan said: "I want to have more people to protect my mother. The days will be so long in the future, wouldn't it be great if I could find a like-minded person to spend the time with?"

She asked again tentatively: "Mother, do you think Mr. Accountant is okay?"

The Xia family used to avoid such topics, but whenever Meng Yan talked about these things, she always acted aboveboard and took it for granted.

She couldn't hold back Meng Yan's questioning, so she had to say: "He is very nice, but I only have mutual respect for him, nothing else."

Meng Yan said: "Then if he continues to follow like this, it's not a long-term solution."

Mrs. Xia was also in a dilemma, twisting the handkerchief in her hand, obviously lost her mind, and said: "I asked him not to follow, I talked too much, but he only insisted on answering me that he also took that way home. Other than that Other than that, I have not expressed any other meaning to me, if I refuse again, it will appear that I am abrupt."

Meng Yan thought to herself, this really is the style of a nerd.

Xia said again: "But it doesn't matter, at most I'm going to help Chen Fang for a while, and I won't go after I'm done with my work, so I don't have much to do with him."

After hearing this, Meng Yan stopped interfering too much.

Xia Shi's first peach blossom bloomed a little confusedly, but Xia Shi was not attracted by that peach blossom at all.

By the way, Xia Shi also mentioned to Meng Yan that in the next few days, she would try her best to finish the work in the shop as early as possible, so that she could go to Xu Shenfang's house and help him take care of it.

Although there are servants in Xu Chenfang's house, no one is waiting for him to go home. That house is as deserted as his big house in the past.

After Mrs. Xia left, she put the two new coats she had prepared in his room, and went to the back kitchen to make dinner for him.

She had prepared the meal and warmed it in the pot for him before returning to the palace. Unexpectedly, Xu Shenfang came back early. As soon as she arrived at the back kitchen, she saw Mrs. Xia busy, and the monkey not returning. Each piece of firewood was stuffed into the stove with the head tilted.

Xu Chenfang's black eyes, which were as dark as the night, were lit by a warm light.

A sense of warmth, mixed with the smell of food, warmed his limbs and bones.

He thought, what virtue and ability can he have.

Monkey Bugui was the first to spot him, with sparkling eyes, he waved at him, and even yelled.

Xia Shi turned her head and saw Xu Chenfang, she immediately smiled and said: "Chen Fang, you are back, I heard from them that you have been coming back late every night recently."

Xu Shenfang smiled and said, "Maybe I smelled the aroma of my cousin's cooking from a long distance away."

His smile was mixed with the tiredness that had been accumulated for a long time, but it didn't affect the elegance of his face in the slightest.

Mrs. Xia baked a pancake for him, and when he came back, she had dinner with him.
