Xiao Baoxin took care of everything. Xie Xian didn't intervene at all. He didn't even have a suggestion.
Only when Xiao Baoxin finished the processing and spread the results in front of him, he nodded with satisfaction and calculated with great care.
"I've always been at ease with you."

In April, local assassins began to come to Beijing one after another. A while ago, Emperor Yuheng just issued an order, and the heads of all the counties, including the governor, also changed their term of office for three years. When the term expired, they would go to Beijing to take up their posts.
Most of the term of office of the governor has arrived, and Jiankang city has become lively all of a sudden.
Xiao Huang arrived in the evening of April 16. Before he entered Jiankang, he didn't even send a boy to give a prophet. He took six or seven attendants to the city in two carriages.
When the Xie family received the news, Xiao Huang's carriage stopped outside the gate.
I've never seen such an out of tune person. Xie's house is very busy. It's too late to prepare. If you go out directly, you have to make up first. You can't be too hasty to be grand. But if you want to be grand, you're not so unprepared.
Even Xie's mother scolded him. He didn't know how to be worldly, so he didn't dare to come to the door.
Xie's mother is an elder, so naturally she has no reason to come out to meet the younger generation. Because of Xiao Huang's relationship, Xie's second and third masters led the whole family up and down to welcome Xiao's father and daughter into the house.
This is the first time that Xiao Baoxin has seen Xiao Ning. She is wearing a light Hu suit with wide shoulders, thin waist and long legs. She is about the same height as her. Her appearance is ordinary, which can barely be called dignified, but her eyes are very bright.
As soon as Xie's mother saw Xiao Ning, her heart was broken. She knew why Xiao Huang didn't send the portrait to her. Maybe it wasn't because she didn't know the world, and her appearance was not his daughter's strength.
I'm afraid it's hard to say about my marriage to King Xin'an.
Yuheng emperor's heart, although it has not been known to passers-by, Xie's mother knows it. If Xie Xian hadn't revealed it, she would have arranged for a marriage candidate.
The king of Xin'an is a famous beautiful man. He is the best among the princes and is not inferior to Xie Xian.
Appearance alone is not a match.
However, these are in Xie's mother's heart. She didn't show any of them. She immediately sent out the jade bracelet as a gift. After all, it's her niece and granddaughter from her mother's side, who is even closer to her next generation.
Xie's mother was the leader, and the next few daughters in law also gave the gifts, including Xiao Baoxin and the ladies from several rooms, who came out to see the guests and gave them the gifts they had prepared earlier.
Xiao Ning had already made preparations. All she brought were Shu embroidery and brocade, the specialty of Shu.
Shu embroidery and Shu brocade are usually sent to the imperial palace as tributes, but today they are given gifts by Xiao Ning. All of a sudden, they will attract the attention of the little ladies. Even the reserved Wang twelve niangs don't want to give up.
Xiao Huang was in the living room of the compartment. At this time, he had a brief meeting with Xie Er ye, Xie San ye and Xie Xian. He went to the inner room to greet Xie Mu.
Xie's mother also led the younger generation to give Xiao Huang a salute. It was only half an hour after a busy meal.
Seeing that it was going to be dark, Xie's mother told Mrs. Wang to open a big kitchen and have dinner with the whole family. The men went to the front outside compartment hall. Xie's mother led a group of women in it.
Xiao Ning is looked around by the public, even if the elders are not involved, there are six or seven mouths to ask her questions in turn.
She is atmosphere, not surprised, a bit of Mount Tai collapsed in front of the posture and face unchanged. To put it simply, she has a little facial paralysis. She has a face for everything. A light smile is her vivid expression. Most of the time, she is a static face without too many expressions.
It's not hot or cold with anyone, but it's the same.
Xie Wan was eating the green plum, and he bit it down. He didn't hurt his teeth.
But looking at Xiao Baoxin next to him, he ate one and then ate another. Watching her eat, Xie Wan's mouth is full of sour water. Do you love her so much?
"You eat." Xiao Baoxin in a good neighborly attitude handed to Xiao Ning, hand is in the past, but the eyes also follow the past, do not give up, did not eat enough.
Xiao Ning thanks without expression on her face. After taking a bite, she doesn't spit it out until she has a cracked expression on her face.
"You are such a naughty child. Why did you tease ah Ning?" Xie's mother couldn't help laughing.
Xiao Baoxin said: "I really learned how to eat this delicious food, so I invited my sister Ning to eat it, but I didn't mean to tease her at all." Even if she wants to tease, she has to give an ultimatum. This cousin Xiao Ning is obviously not a soft girl. If she doesn't understand it, she will be annoying. She's not so unreliable.
"Sister in law, don't you really feel sour?" Xie Wan couldn't help but say: "I see my sister-in-law is eating with relish, but she tasted one greedily. I don't think the green plum is ripe yet. It's so sour."
As soon as Xie's mother's eyes brighten, she looks at Mrs. yuan. Sure enough, Mrs. yuan's eyes are brighter than hers. Her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law look at each other, but no one says it. This is not a happy occasion. If it's wrong, Xiao Baoxin will be embarrassed.
"Sorry, you... Drink water?" Xiao Baoxin didn't notice the waves in his mother-in-law's and grandmother's eyes. He was just trying to comfort the guests from afar.
Xiao Ning took the water from the maid and took a silent breath. It can be seen that it is really sour.
It wasn't long before the maids came in and set the dishes on the table. Xie's mother had specially ordered the small kitchen to make her favorite Hu cake for Xiao Baoxin. Now, although it's the big kitchen, the Hu cake is still served.
Who knows, Xiao Baoxin has some nausea after taking a bite. If he can't eat any more, he will feel sick when he put it aside.
Mrs. yuan's eyes are almost bright, and the corners of her mouth are more and more upward. She takes a look at Xie's mother, and finds that Xie's mother has the same expression. They look at each other and understand each other. They quickly ask the maid to remove the Hu cake.
Mrs. Wang looked around and said nothing.
But Mrs. CAI has been steady recently, and she has come out frequently. She is pregnant and sensitive to this matter. When she saw Xiao Baoxin's style, she said with a smile, "Baoxin, do you have it?"
It's like a thunder on the ground.
Xiao Baoxin didn't understand what he meant: "what's the matter with..."
Mrs. yuan is not happy. It's nothing. What's the matter if you call it out in public?
Today is to welcome guests, the protagonist is not their Baoxin, grab the limelight of other people is not to give people a hard time? I don't know if Cai meant it.
Even Xiao Ning's eyes are focused on Xiao Baoxin's stomach.
Xiao Baoxin blushed: "nothing, nothing. I may have eaten too much... I don't feel well these days... "
"That's it, that's it." Mrs. Cai is sure, "call the doctor to come here, one pulse can be confirmed."
——
"What doctor, who is sick? I can't bear it. If I feel sick, I'll call the doctor
There is a screen between the two halls. Xie Xian listens to it and calls Qingfeng to ask. In fact, the mirror in his heart is Xiao Baoxin. But love my daughter-in-law, not so blatant.
