In Yuanshen, no one understands holy relics better than me

Barbara immediately blushed, feeling anxious and ashamed that she was treated like a child, but she couldn't bear the joy of being held high by Brother Xia.

"Well, enough, enough."

"Hmm, don't worry, just clean slowly."

The skirt of Jujia is not long, Xia Tian looks up, can see the red chin and cheeks, and can also see the scenery under the skirt.

After cleaning, Barbara lowered her head and was about to let her down, when she noticed the eyes clearly staring at her skirt.

He quickly covered it with his hands, and scolded shyly in a low voice: "Brother Xia is so bad! No peeking!"

Xia Tian didn't blush, her heart didn't beat, and she retorted regretfully: "Aren't you wearing leggings inside?"

"You're not allowed to look like that! I... I'll be ashamed!"

Most girls are shy when their privacy is seen. The difference is that other people are often shy and don’t admit it, but Barbara will say "shy" out, which is very cute.

"Okay, I'm done with it, brother Xia let me down."

The almost coquettish voice made Xia Tian arouse an endless protective desire, and cautiously withdrew his hands.

When I put it down, I turned Barbara around so that I could face each other.

She didn't hide her thoughts, and before her toes landed, Barbara had already hugged Xia Tian: "Brother Xia, I miss you so much!"

Biting his lips with his white teeth, he raised his face and approached him a little bit, actively asking for a kiss.

pity.

"Cough, cough."

The old father didn't look at the occasion, or he saw the occasion, and appeared on purpose: "After cleaning, let's go prepare breakfast... In summer, you can stay and eat together!"

"Thank you uncle."

But the sanitation is not even cleaned, and it is impossible to store food, and there is no ice in the freezer.

"There seems to be no food at home... Brother Xia, let's go shopping first!"

Barbara stuck out her tongue, afraid of being taught a lesson, she took Xia Tian's hand and ran outside quickly.

Jumping lightly, like dancing, stepping on the slate, like composing music, Barbara can use every part of her body to interpret the charm of idols.

Just at the gate of the community, "Golden" and "Golden" met unexpectedly, and ran into the leader Qin head-on.

"Sister, sister, are you here to see Dad?"

There is no one around, and it is not considered a business meeting. Barbara does not need to be commensurate with her position.

Seeing a lovely sister is always happy, Qin smiled: "I met Bishop Simon last night."

Looking at Xia Tian again: "I'm here to find Xia Tian, ​​Mona said he's here."

I deliberately inquired and came to look for it. It seems that the matter is not small.

"Is it something important?"

"If it's convenient, someone wants to see you."

"Who?"

"Frederica Gunnhild."

It's someone I don't know in Xia Tian, ​​but I always feel a little familiar, as if I've heard this name somewhere.

And Barbara on the side has already exclaimed: "Mom...what is she looking for Brother Xia?"

In Barbara's memory, she didn't have a good impression of her mother, not because she hated her, but because she was too strict and felt a little difficult to get along with.

A large part of the reason why Bishop Simon and Frederica separated was the disagreement over Barbara's future.

Although the two sisters Barbara and Qin have inherited the excellent qualities of the "Gunhild" family, there is a big gap in handling government affairs and swordsmanship talents.

What Bishop Simon meant was that he already had a good enough Qin as the successor of the Gunnhild family, so he could not be too harsh on Barbara, and should allow her to enjoy life quickly and choose the life she wanted.

But Frederica didn't take it seriously, thinking that the people of the Gurnhild family must be excellent, and Barbara's talent is not enough, so she will use several times of effort to make up for it...

Ever since, the quarrels continued until the marriage broke down.

Xia Tian also realized it, no wonder it sounds familiar, Gurnhild is the surname of Qin, the Gurnhild family is the most prominent family in Mond, and Frederica is the mother of Qin and Barbara, although I don’t know now Whatever position she holds, but there is no doubt that she is the woman at the apex of Mond's power.

Xia Tian has seen a few women standing at the apex of power, Liyue's Ningguang, Dao's Wife's General Thunder, but the experience of getting along with them cannot be used.

Ningguang was born as a commoner, and knows how to take care of others when dealing with people. General Lei Dian is the god of gods and treats everyone equally, while a woman who is born to be aristocratic is the hardest hit area of ​​prejudice.

"Don't worry." Qin patted Barbara's shoulder as an older sister: "Mom has come back these days and heard about Xia Tian's contribution to Mond, and wants to express her gratitude in person."

The original timeline should have been that Bishop Simon went to say hello first, and then arranged to meet. Unexpectedly, he couldn't wait to see his son-in-law.

Of course Xia Tian will not refuse: "When?"

"Could it be now, if it's convenient?"

"Now……"

Xia Tian took a look at Barbara, wanting to at least accompany Barbara to finish shopping.

"Brother Xia, you go to see your mother first, she has a good sense of time, if you go late, she will be very angry!"

Barbara was inexplicably nervous, frowning seriously.

Qin smiled helplessly: "Mother, she has changed a lot, and she won't be so easy to get angry... Barbara, if you are free, go and see her, she misses you very much."

"Well."

Barbara believes her sister's words, but... still needs a little preparation.

If mother can accept brother Xia smoothly, in order for mother to accept brother Xia smoothly...

Do you want to follow?

Chapter 792 Am I the son-in-law of which of your daughters?

In the end, Xia Tian persuaded Barbara to let her go grocery shopping on the grounds that "Bishop Simon is hungry and waiting for food."

As a woman who has been in a high position for a long time, Frederica should not like the man hiding behind her daughter, or the change of attitude of Bishop Simon gave Xia Tian courage.

Leaving aside the identity of "Fengshen", I am also a hero of Mengde. On the surface, I helped overcome the dragon disaster, deal with the enemies coming from the snow-capped mountains, and I am also the star of the Fenghua Festival chosen by all the people of Mond. These great achievements are Looking at the history of Mond, there are not many foreigners who dare to say that they are more glorious than themselves.

Not to mention that I am a handsome man with a handsome face, even if Gurnhild's family is prominent, and it is not a feudal dynasty now, how many better son-in-laws can they find than themselves?

Thinking back to Frederica's marriage back then, although Bishop Simon at that time had a certain reputation and was a well-known adventurer in the mainland, he didn't have a prominent family background, and there was a high probability that the public's reputation was not as good as his own!In the end, the treasure of the Gunnhild family was not obtained!

Therefore, Xia Tian is full of confidence, and there is no tension when meeting Bishop Simon.

But, while walking, you can still ask the piano sideways.

"Qin."

"Well, what happened?"

"Frederica... that is, you and Barbara's mother, what exactly do you want from me?"

"do not worry."

Qin Xiaoxiao, judging from her expression, it shouldn't be a bad thing: "It's just a meeting. My mother has traveled abroad in recent years. I have often corresponded with her in letters, and you have been mentioned several times in it... After my mother came back, she wanted Meet you foreigner who has been awarded the "Star of the Wind Flower Festival". "

Afraid that Xia Tian would think too much, although Qin didn't know exactly what she would talk about, she gave her own guess: "Probably just expressing gratitude... I know that my father and Barbara didn't think very well of my mother, and she is indeed very strict. , but she is actually a very reasonable person, I believe... I believe you can get along well with her."

"Well, I'll try to win her over so she doesn't complain to you, "It's too bad my girls have friends like you," and instead says, "My girls have friends like you." , it’s really great”! "

Xia Tian deliberately thickened his voice, imitating the tone of a serious elder, and made Qin laugh: "Hehe, mother doesn't know how to say these things."

When Qin smiles, it is like a warm spring breeze blowing on her face, which can make the whole day full of good mood.

……

The meeting place is arranged in the Knights' living room, opposite to the head's office, an elegant tea room.

Frederica got up to greet her. She had a similar appearance to Qin, with a golden single ponytail, Gurnhilde family-patterned clothes, and the same tall figure. She was like a mature wife, Qin, and Xia Tian almost said "Madam, I like you" yelled out.

"Mother, summer is here."

"Hello, nice to meet you."

"Hello, please take a seat."

Greeted each other, and Xia Tian was seated under arrangement.

"I'm going to make tea."

Qin was going to prepare black tea, but was stopped by Frederica: "No need, you still have a lot of things to do, right? Get busy first, the work of the Knights is more important."

This is intentional.

"Hmm...then..." Qin resisted a little, unable to listen to the conversation, which made her who said "don't worry" start to worry.

"I'll just make tea." Frederica looked at her daughter's frown and said with a light smile, "Why? Don't you trust my tea-making skills? Afraid of neglecting your friend?"

"Of course not." Qin finally followed her mother's arrangement: "Please also... Xia Tian is a very important person to Mond."

The implication is naturally to let the mother not be embarrassed.

Qin knows that Xia Tian has the status of "apprentice Fengshen", but her reminder at this moment is all focused on her friend's feelings.

"Understood, don't worry... Of course, I will treat your cherished friends well."

Frederica seemed to have something to say, and had already gone to the cabinet where various teas were placed.

Seeing this scene, Qin felt relieved. Her mother was willing to make tea by herself, showing her friendliness: "Well, then I'll go first... I'm in the office opposite. If you need something, you can call me anytime."

He took a special look at Xia Tian, ​​and his eyes signaled that if something was wrong, he would call for help.

……

After Qin left, the atmosphere did not become silent. Frederica stood in front of the tea cabinet, chatting casually.

"What kind of tea do you want? Black tea? Green tea? Or Liyue's tea?"

"It's all right, I don't have much research on tea."

"I don't have much research on tea, but if I chat dryly, I feel awkward occasionally."

To put it bluntly, it seems that Frederica has that straightforward personality.

The brewing time of black tea is very short. After being washed with hot water, the tea leaves will unfold instantly and overflow with fragrance.

With that skillful movement and the fragrance that spreads out, there is no one who has not studied tea... The black tea that Qin is known as the best grade comes from her mother's teaching.

Serving tea with both hands represents a high respect no matter in which country.

"In these years, I haven't spent much time at home, and the head of the group has also gone on expeditions. The dragon disaster in Mond, the enemies in the snow mountains, and the conspiracy of fools, all of which are all due to your help. Although I can't represent Mond , but I can express my gratitude to you on behalf of the Gunnhild family."

After all, she is the default old mother-in-law, such respect makes Xia Tian feel terrified: "It doesn't have to be like this, it's just a little effort..."

"Efforts with little effort" was used incorrectly, and it seemed that the disaster was too light, making it seem like Mond was incompetent.

Immediately changed his words: "I'm just cooperating. The main credit is Captain Qin and the people of Mond. Only by uniting together can we get through those difficulties."

"No need to be modest, I have learned everything from Jean's letters and reports from the Knights. Your bravery is no less than the heroes in Mond's history... Mond can have a friend like you, and you are willing to be Mond's friend , it is really a blessing for Mond."

"Hmm..." Xia Tian touched his head, without being pretentious: "I am also very happy to come to Mond."

It was true, and being in Mond was one of the luckiest things in his life.

Frederica is not a long-winded person, thank you in a few words, it seems that there are other things in today's conversation.

"Qin often mentioned you in her letters, and I wanted to meet you when I came back...but I heard that you went to Dao's wife, why did you come back to Mond today?"

"Um, I just came back, and I just arrived in the morning."

"Oh? I asked you to meet up just after I came back. I'm really sorry. You must be very tired, right?"

"No, I rested well on the boat yesterday."

A few words of inquisitiveness and warmth, but still missed the point, Xia Tian took the initiative to provoke the topic: "Qin is in the letter, what did you say about me?"

There is a bit of anticipation, wanting to know the image of myself in the heart of Gaoling Zhihua.

"It's almost all compliments, for example, you are brave and strong, for example, you have a good character... It's like a saint. It's the first time I've seen her praise someone like that. Let's meet now..."

Frederica's long-tailed voice made Xia Tian startled: "Disappointed? Doesn't match the letter?"

"That's not true. How can you tell how good your character is when you just meet?" Frederica smiled, playing with the teacup with her fingers, letting the black tea sway in the cup: "It should be called an accident! Qin is in the letter, I didn't mention your appearance, I thought, I thought your appearance was more ordinary, but I didn't expect you to be such a handsome young man."

"Hey, thank you for the compliment." Xia Tian also tactfully boasted back: "You surprised me, so young and beautiful, I thought it was Qin's sister!"
