Traveling to ancient times to sweep the catering industry

Chapter 121 Where is my sister?

Xie Shiyu took Jiaoyue out of the brothel, but suddenly didn't know what to do with her.

Xie Shiyu turned his head and looked at the girl who had been following him silently. She still had a cold expression on her face, as if it made no difference to her where she went.

Xie Shiyu frowned, handed her the indenture in his hand, and said, "You will be free from now on, and you don't have to go to the brothel anymore."

Jiaoyue looked up, glanced at him, and then took her indenture.

However, she did not leave, but just stared at Xie Shiyu.

Xie Shiyu was a little confused by her gaze, and lowered his eyes and asked: "Do you have anywhere to go?"

"No!" Jiaoyue answered simply.

Xie Shiyu couldn't help but frown slightly, and suddenly felt that this was a tricky problem.

Jiaoyue had nowhere to go, so she had to follow him. However, he couldn't take her home. If he took her home, there was no telling what would happen to the house. He could even lose his life, let alone take care of Jiaoyue.

Xie Shiyu thought for a moment and said, "How about I find an inn for you to stay in, and I'll make arrangements later, okay?"

"Sure!" Jiaoyue replied.

When Xie Shiyu heard that she agreed, he took her to the best inn in the capital.

After arranging a good and quiet room for her, Xie Shiyu took off his purse, put it on the table, and said to her: "You can use this money first, I will come to see you again."

"it is good!"

Jiaoyue sat in front of the dressing mirror and took off her hairpins without even looking at him.

"I'm leaving now. You stay here. If you have any difficulties...if you have any difficulties, send someone to come to the Duke's Mansion to find me."

"understood!"

Jiaoyue's voice was still cold, which made Xie Shiyu feel unhappy. How could he be like an old woman giving instructions? And she didn't seem to appreciate it.

Xie Shiyu talked for a while, then left and went back home.

When he returned home, he seemed to hear his mother and elder brother arguing. Xie Shiyu decided not to join in the fun to avoid being affected, and returned to his own yard.

But after a while, Mrs. Xie came over.

"Xie Shiyu, where did you go yesterday? Why didn't you ask someone to bring me a message?"

Mrs. Xie criticized him, and Xie Shiyu could only laugh and said, "Mother, I was drunk with my good friends last night and forgot about it. I will never do it again. Mother, don't be angry!"

"Drinking? With whom? I sent someone to the palace yesterday, and they said Wang Shen was in the palace and had not left. Who did you go out with?"

"It's the Ji brothers! They insisted on getting me to drink with them."

"Ji family? Which Ji family?" Mrs. Xie was puzzled. She had never heard that Xie Shiyu had any good friend with the surname Ji.

Xie Shiyu explained, "They are the sons of the Minister of Personnel, Ji Mingzhen and Ji Mingquan. I met them not long ago. They are very nice people."

"The Ji family, the Minister of Personnel?" Mrs. Xie thought about it and remembered what Mrs. Ji looked like. She was fat, and it seemed that their son was not very good-looking.

Mrs. Ji had been looking for a date for her daughter before, so she knew some people.

"Why are you hanging out with them? I heard that their family is close to the Sixth Prince, so stay away from them!"

The emperor was already wary of his family because of their military power, and if they were involved in the fight for the throne, the situation would be even worse.

Xie Shilian had told her all these things before, so Mrs. Xie also knew something about the situation in the court. After all, the Empress Dowager would invite her to the palace soon, and she really couldn't not know what was going on in the palace.

When Xie Shiyu heard his mother say this, he could only nod guiltily.

I already owe them a favor, how can I just stop interacting with them?

Xie Shiyu thought about it and felt that as long as his family was not involved in the political disputes, it should be fine to drink some.

However, Xie Shiyu is now wondering how he should settle Jiaoyue?

You definitely can’t bring it into the house.

Xie Shiyu could only arrange her to stay outside, but what would it mean to arrange her to stay outside?

Xie Shiyu likes her, but he can't marry her!

Xie Shiyu was extremely conflicted. After thinking about it over and over again, he could not think of any solution.

……

Qi Xing and Qi Qi were soon sent to the capital, and Xie Shilian also arranged accommodation for them.

The two little kids left home for the first time and came to this prosperous capital city. They were very curious and chattered non-stop.

"Brother, did you see that? That building is so tall!"

"I saw it, I saw it!"

"What a nice smell. I'm a little hungry."

"Eat some snacks first, and then eat when you see Daddy and Sister Cheng." Qi Xing said.

Qi Xing didn't like Cheng Wenwen very much before, but now that Cheng Wenwen is gone, he suddenly starts to miss her good points again.

The food she cooked was really delicious, and she treated them very well.

Qi Xing had no choice but to stop having any prejudice against her. At least she treated them well now. He would deal with it later if she didn't treat them well in the future.

Besides, Daddy also likes her, so he can only accept it for the time being.

It’s just that I haven’t seen my father for a long time, and I miss him very much.

Qi Qi was the same, she cried several times just thinking about it, so Qi Xing took Qi Qi to the Duke's place and cried several times before sending them here.

So this is the capital city, so prosperous.

Qi Xing thought that he would stay here in the future, become an official, and pass the imperial examination to become the top scholar. Then he would bring his father to the capital and tell his father not to go to the war.

While the two little kids were chattering in the carriage, the carriage arrived at a house.

Xie Shilian was already waiting outside, and he was the first to carry Qi Qi off the carriage.

Qi Qi recognized Xie Shilian and called him happily, "Uncle, where is Daddy? Did Daddy ask you to pick us up?"

Qi Xing also jumped off the carriage and politely called Xie Shilian "Uncle".

Xie Shilian happily agreed to their request, but as for Qi Shuo's whereabouts, Xie Shilian casually found an excuse and said, "Your father is busy, so he asked me to pick you up. You should follow me in first, have a full meal and rest well. When your father is done with his work, he will come to see you."

"Oh! Okay! We won't bother Daddy since he's busy." Qi Qi was quite sensible, but then she looked up and asked Xie Shilian: "Uncle, what about my sister Cheng? Where is Sister Cheng?"

Qi Qi asked whatever he thought of, unlike Qi Xing who just thought in his mind.

However, this straightforward and simple character sometimes makes Xie Shilian not know how to deceive her.

"Your sister Cheng is busy with your father! I'll ask them to come see you when the time comes, okay?"

"Sister Cheng is busy too! Okay then!"

Qi Qi was obviously unhappy, pouting and looking sullen.

Xie Shilian patted her head and said, "It's okay, uncle can accompany you!"
