When Chi Shu spoke so suddenly, the three people at the table were all stunned.
Seeing the reaction of the three of them, he quickly changed his words, "It's just a joke, brother Wen won't mind."
Wen Que wiped off his sweat, and quickly laughed, "Master Hou, this is not a joke."
Chi Shu clicked his tongue, "Why can't you open it? For unmarried men and women, it doesn't matter if we discuss it seriously."
Wen Que responded immediately, "The Wen family is just ordinary people with some money in their hands, how can they climb up to Lord Hou's house."
Chi Shu smiled and said, "You ordinary people, you have too much thought of family status. I think you are a good girl. You have a nose and eyes, and you are smart. If Brother Wen has this wish..."
Wen Que was terrified, and waved his hands again and again, "Master Hou has really flattered the Wen family, and the Wen family is ashamed. The threshold for the Hou family is too high, and the Wen family still has self-knowledge."
Perhaps because of repeated refusals, Chi Shu seemed a little unhappy, and said with a stern face, "Brother Wen looks so disgusted with my Chi family."
Wen Que was so anxious that he said three times, "Wen, how dare you? To be appreciated by Lord Hou is a blessing that Tongtong has cultivated for several generations. It's just that the Wen family only has one daughter, and those who plan to marry, really dare not beat the younger one." Lord Hou's idea."
Wen Yantong looked at Wen Que and saw fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, so he couldn't help but wonder why Wen Que was so frightened in front of Lord Hou when he was so comfortable in front of everyone in Tianqiao Pavilion. It's an exaggeration.
Wen Que is doing business everywhere, so he should be a well-informed and well-spoken person, it shouldn't be like this.
Seeing this, Chi Jingxi immediately said to Chi, "Father, it's time to serve."
Chi Shu knew that this was Chi Jingxi's intention to stop him, so he sighed softly, went down the steps, and beckoned for servants to serve the dishes.
Wen Que secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had escaped a catastrophe.
After a while, they were served on the table one by one, and the table was full.
Wen Yantong remained quiet the whole time, listening to Chi Shu chatting with Wen Quin one after another. Both Chi Shu and Chi Jingxi didn't like to be served by servants during meals, so they sent out all the people, whether it was pouring water or taking things, they did it by themselves.
Because Wen Que was tense, he seemed to eat more decently when eating at home. He always spread a table when eating at home, but when he came to Master Hou, he didn't dare to spread a grain of rice.
Wen Yantong secretly thought it was funny when he saw it, recalling what Caichi said just now, he was still a little puzzled.
What exactly did Chi Shu mean? Did he really mention it casually
But this kind of marriage is not compared to modern times. When you look at single men and women, you try to make a couple. In ancient times, these were all big things to discuss together. There was no love, only marriage.
Wen Yantong quietly raised his head and glanced at Chi Jingxi. He was eating seriously, he lowered his head to pick the thorn from the fish, and he could see the handsome side face.
"How many items did Brother Wen buy in this disaster relief auction?" Chi Shu asked casually.
"Seventeen." Wen Qun replied.
"I have already prepared the procedure to report to the emperor for your generosity, and I plan to give you a name." He said.
Wen Que was flattered, "This... Wen Mou's disaster relief is out of his heart, not seeking other things."
Chi Shu laughed loudly, "I know you're not looking for other things, but Chang'an City has ranked first in Shaojing's list of disaster relief funds for several times, and I have received rewards myself, so I can't let you fall by the wayside."
Wen Que had rejected it several times before, but if he refused at this time, it would be very disrespectful to Chi Shu, so he bit the bullet and said, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Wen, I am very grateful."
Chi Shu said, "You're a bit too rigid, forget about it, let's eat quickly."
His resignation made Wen Que much more relaxed, and eating now was much smoother.
Wen Yantong was absent-mindedly picking up vegetables, and when she was thinking about something, suddenly a pair of chopsticks placed lotus root on her plate.
She widened her eyes in surprise, and when she looked up, she saw Chi Jingxi retracting her chopsticks.
What are you doing? !
Wen Yantong was startled, and wanted to rush over and hold his shoulder and shake him fiercely: "Be sober! Your father and your father are still here!
Chi Jingxi looked calm, and said naturally to Wen Que's extremely shocked expression, "I saw that Miss Wen seems to like eating lotus root clips, but this dish is a bit far away from her, so I helped her."
Wen Yantong immediately nodded his thanks, "Thank you, little lord, I didn't expect the little lord to be so thoughtful, you can even see this."
Chi Jingxi turned around and smiled at her, "If Miss Wen likes it, eat more."
Wen Yantong nodded cautiously, and in a blink of an eye, he smiled and said nothing to Shangchi.
Fuck, this old fox must have seen it!
Looking at her father's dumbfounded look, she had no choice but to divert his attention, "Father, if you don't move your chopsticks, the fish pieces in the bowl will be cold."
Wen Que came back to his senses, immediately responded, and lowered his head to eat the fish.
Wen Yantong now wants to end the dinner quickly. If Chi Jingxi took care of her like this when there was no one else, she would accept it calmly, but now these two elders are still sitting at the table.
Chi Shu and Chi Jingxi are old and young, it's not something that she and Mu Mu's father can handle, so it's better to break up quickly.
Wen Yantong who was eating a meal was also very cautious, afraid that Chi Jingxi would pour her some water and pick up some food, so he just ate without making eye contact.
After eating, things are not over. Chi Shu invited Wen Que to go to the official building to write a document, which was mainly used for Chi Shuna to play and ask for a title.
But it was inappropriate for Guanfu Lou Wen Yantong to follow, so he said that he would go home first.
Chi Shu said, "I heard that Brother Wen wants you to learn the art of business. It just so happens that Shan Li is going to check the accounts of a shop on Chang'an Avenue right now. You should go and have a look and get in touch with him."
"Ah?" Wen Yantong looked at Wen Qun in surprise, as if asking for his opinion.
But at this moment, Wen Que's opinion can't be called an opinion, at most it's just one or two long-winded words, so Wen Yantong had to let Wen Yantong follow.
So Chi Jingxi took Wen Yantong, surrounded by some guards, and went to Chang'an Avenue together.
Chang'an Street is the most prosperous street in the center of Chang'an City, and the shops and restaurants on both sides are extraordinarily gorgeous. Account checking is a special agency set up by the government to prevent shop owners from conducting secret transactions or evading taxes.
Chi Jingxi is naturally not responsible for this matter, but Chi Shu intends to make Chi Jingxi busy in Chang'an City and slowly accept the official affairs, so he always finds these small jobs for him to practice.
Wen Yantong followed Chi Jingxi for a while, but Chi Jingxi stopped suddenly and turned to look at her, "Why are you walking so slowly?"
Wen Yantong was stunned for a moment, "Why are you slow? I can keep up."
Chi Jingxi clicked his tongue impatiently, "Go a few steps forward and stand beside me."
She hesitated, "Isn't that right?"
"What's wrong." Chi Jingxi snorted softly, "Come here quickly, don't let me pull you on the street."
Wen Yantong had no choice but to take two steps forward and said in a low voice, "You don't have to restrain yourself."
"What did I do and you told me to restrain myself?" Chi Jingxi said, "Now I know I'm afraid, why were you so courageous last night?"
Wen Yantong remembered what happened last night, his ears turned red, and he said angrily, "Being brave doesn't mean that you will take advantage of it."
Chi Jingxi raised her brows slightly, and found that there was no way to refute her words. Amused by her sharp teeth, she said, "Let's go, we are on business now, there is nothing to hide."
Wen Yantong responded in a low voice, and followed Chi Jingxi's unhurried pace to the end of Chang'an Avenue.
Although Chi Jingxi was not as famous in Chang'an as Zai Chaoge, many people recognized him when he was walking on the street, and they all looked sideways at him.
Wen Yantong walked with him for a while, and felt that he had doubts in his heart, so he said, "Master Hou today...why would you say such a thing?"
"Huh?" Chi Jingxi said lazily, "What kind of words?"
Wen Yantong smacked his lips, "Stop pretending, you clearly know what I'm talking about."
Chi Jingxi bent his lips and smiled, but felt strange at the same time. He never thought that one day, Wen Yantong would dare to speak to him in such a tone, and he was not angry at all.
He said, "You want to know?"
Wen Yantong asked back, "I don't want to know why I ask you?"
Chi Jingxi said, "Then tell me first, do you want to enter the door of my Hou Mansion?"
Wen Yantong gritted his teeth, "I won't ask any more, young master go check the accounts by himself, I'm going back."
"Okay, okay." Chi Jingxi immediately compromised, "I'll tell you."
Heh, man.
Wen Yantong quietly waited for him to speak.
Chi Jingxi said, "There are too many people here, so it's inconvenient to talk about it. We'll talk about it in a quiet place."
Wen Yantong was speechless, "In the end, I still didn't say anything."
"I'll tell you." Chi Jingxi wanted to pat her head, but since he was on the street, he knew how to restrain himself.
Chang'an Avenue was crowded with people, Chi Jingxi and Wen Yantong were walking on the innermost sidewalk, and when they were about to go to the shops at the end of the street, suddenly a child ran over to the side.
The child was about five or six years old, dressed in a brocade padded robe, with pigtails, he looked like he came from a wealthy family.
He ran straight to Chi Jingxi, opened his arms wide, and shouted vaguely, "Daddy, Daddy!"
The guard stopped the child very quickly, and Chi Jingxi and Wen Yantong also stopped at the same time.
After the child was stopped, he struggled endlessly, cried and insisted on calling Chi Jingxi Daddy.
Wen Yantong was startled, and looked at Chi Jingxi in surprise, as if saying that your son is so old!
Chi Jingxi immediately said, "What are you thinking, can I give birth to such an ugly son?"
Wen Yantong looked at it, and secretly thought that the child had small eyes and a flat nose, so it was impossible for him to have Chi Jingxi's genes. But it is a big joke for this child to recognize someone else as his father on the street. I don't know how the real father feels when he hears it.
Wen Yantong said, "Young Master, you go in first, I will send this child away."
Chi Jingxi frowned slightly, "It's better to leave it to the servants."
Wen Yantong said, "This child is still young, I'm afraid the servants will scare him so fiercely, you go in quickly, this child always calls you father, it won't be very good if someone hears it."
Knowing that she was stubborn, Chi Jingxi sighed, "Then come in quickly."
"I'll go in after coaxing him away." Wen Yantong said with a smile.
Chi Jingxi had no choice but to step into the shop first, and the children cried even more when they saw him leave. Wen Yantong watched him go in, then turned around to the side of the child and looked at him brightly.
The child also cried and looked at her.
Wen Yantong snorted softly, "Who taught you to misidentify your father on the street? Get out of here, or I will catch you and feed you to the wolves."
After finishing speaking, I still have to learn howling a wolf, "Aww—"
The child was so frightened that he stopped crying immediately.
The author has something to say: Chi Jingxi: My wife is pretty good at coaxing children! (pride)
