Chapter 658: Once you send someone away, they won’t come back (2)
Although the person in front of him appeared slowly by himself, pushing the wheelchair, a respectful servant followed closely behind him.
Xiangsi curiously poked her head out to look over, and recognized at a glance that this person was the man in blue whom she had met yesterday.
When the man saw Xiang Si, he was obviously surprised and blurted out, "My dear girl, I didn't expect you to come as promised? I thought you were just saying it casually!"
Xiang Si nodded slightly and replied softly, "Today, the young master and I went to Yongfuji and asked the waiter there. Then we found out that this bowl of soup is indeed hard to come by."
After that, she bowed to the two people in front of her and continued, "I'm afraid I can't give this soup to your young master in a short time. My old lady specially asked me to send some money to you as a token of my appreciation."
"Oh! Who would care about your few taels of silver?" The man sitting in the wheelchair finally spoke, and his voice was just like him - clear and cold.
Upon hearing this, Xiang Si hurriedly bowed and apologized again: "I am so sorry, please forgive me, sir!"
At this moment, the man in green was looking back and forth around Xiangsi, as if he was looking for someone.
After confirming that Liang Huaixin was not in sight, he slowly said, "It was your young master who made the mistake yesterday. Why didn't he come today?"
Xiang Si told what happened in Yongfuji today: "Please rest assured, my young master will try his best to find a solution."
The man in the wheelchair raised an eyebrow and glanced at Xiangsi: "It's not your fault, you apologized so readily!"
"This is something the old lady specifically ordered, and I will always do my best to complete it." Xiangsi explained.
"Don't call me a maid. What's your name?" The man in the wheelchair asked Xiangsi.
"My name is Xiangsi!" When Xiangsi said this, there was a hint of "embarrassment" in her tone.
"This name..." Xiao Chenliang originally wanted to say "frivolous", but from his angle he could see the discomfort in Xiangsi's eyes, and he knew that she herself probably didn't like this name, so he didn't comment any more.
Xiao Chenliang was silent for a moment and then said, "Xiangsi, this name is common but also easy to pronounce. Since your young master can't find the soup at the moment, let's make a note of it first."
When Xiangsi heard Xiao Chenliang speak before, she thought he would be a difficult person to get along with, but she didn't expect that this guy was just a good talker.
They are much better than those who say they are kind but act cruelly.
"Thank you very much, sir!" Xiangsi seemed to feel relieved, and a smile immediately appeared on her face.
It was from that angle looking from bottom to top that Xiao Chenliang saw the bright light in Xiangsi's eyes.
"No need to thank me!" Xiao Chenliang was still as "hard on the outside but soft on the inside" as before.
Xiangsi looked at the young man from a noble family who was wearing a moon-white robe with delicate cloud patterns embroidered on the hem. Although he was sitting in a wheelchair, his elegance was not affected at all. For the first time, she felt that there might be good people in wealthy families.
After saying goodbye to the two of them, Xiangsi turned and walked towards the inn where the Liang family was currently staying.
Watching her figure disappear from his sight, Xiao Chenliang always felt a sense of loss in his heart.
As a direct descendant of the Xiao family, although Xiao Chenliang is "bad-behaved", the tyranny in his bones remains the same.
Since it is rare for him to be interested in someone, he must keep this person by his side.
"I won't go to the academy. The things I do every day are almost the same anyway." Xiao Chenliang turned his head with the joystick that controlled the direction of the wheelchair. "Go to the academy and see what the young master's name is!"
"Amo, I get your order!" The man in green clasped his fists towards Xiao Chenliang and responded. Then he left and headed towards Yuening Academy.
Hu Zi quickly took over his brother A Mo's position and wanted to help Xiao Chenliang push the wheelchair.
"I'll do it myself!" Xiao Chenliang waved away Hu Zi's hand, then suddenly thought of something and looked back at the place where Xiangsi had just stood.
There happened to be a few osmanthus tree branches sticking out from the courtyard wall.
"Ahem!" Xiao Chenliang coughed a few times and said to Hu Zi behind him, "Cut off those osmanthus branches that have grown out of the wall and put them in my study."
Although Hu Zi didn't understand what his master meant, he believed that his master's words were orders. After escorting Xiao Chenliang back to the study, he moved the ladder and cut off all the branches that were sticking out of the wall.
Then he put the branch with a little golden osmanthus on it into the vase in Xiao Chenliang's study.
The hand holding the book could not help but exert some force, and then Hu Zi heard Xiao Chenliang suddenly say: "This osmanthus is indeed fragrant!"
After hearing this, Hu Zi sniffed it with some doubt. Although it had a fragrance, it didn't seem to be as fragrant as his young master said!
I really don’t understand!
