Jiang Xue wasn't interested in the trivial matters of the Nine Gates. As for what Zhang Qishan had done in Gu Tongjing more than eighty years ago? She wasn't very interested either. In the first few days after she returned, Jiang Xue was busy making Kai Yang and Yaoguang's bodies and teaching them some basic human behavior. The rest of the time, she was busy moving and cleaning the house that had been empty for a few years. If she had some free time, she would naturally spend it with her Zhang Rishan.
After all, they had been separated for ten years.
However, after a week, she had basically finished all her work and had some free time. She was someone who couldn't stay idle, so she began to eat, drink, and play in Beijing. Her days were very comfortable.
In the ten years that she hadn't been around, Beijing had changed very obviously.
No matter where she was during the day, she would always be there. However, she would always come back on time at night and have dinner with Zhang Rishan. Occasionally, she would also go to bed early and do some embarrassing things.
Another half a month passed.
During this time, Jiang Xue had basically toured all of Beijing and finally had some free time. On the other side, Wu Xie had also come out of Gu Tongjing, but as soon as he came out, he disappeared without a trace. However, a child called Li Zuo, who had gone to Gu Tongjing with him, had already returned safely. Strangely, he had developed retrograde amnesia and had forgotten a lot of things that had happened during this time.
The other members of the Nine Gates who had been itching to make a move on Gu Tongjing naturally didn't believe it. They had their subordinates keep an eye on Li Zuo for a long time, but they didn't find anything. They also didn't find any trace of Wu Xie, so they could only suppress their thoughts for the time being. However, only they knew what they were scheming behind the scenes.
Jiang Xue didn't go out for two days. Instead, she asked Yaoguang to go out and buy a thick stack of red paper. She began to use her spiritual energy to cut small paper figurines. Because the cut was exquisite and she used her spiritual energy to cut them, she was naturally slower. After two days, she had only cut a hundred or so, which was a little too little.
Her sixth sense told her that she wouldn't be safe for long, so it was always right to make more preparations.
On this day, Jiang Xue was bored at home. Even after cutting paper dolls for a long time, she still couldn't calm the anxiety in her heart. In the end, the finely cut paper dolls became rougher and rougher. In the end, Jiang Xue also stopped. She didn't want to waste the red paper and waste her spiritual power.
Seeing Jiang Xue like this, Yaoguang gave a suggestion, "Miss, since you have nothing to do at home, why don't you go to the New Moon Restaurant? It's almost noon now. It's better to have lunch with Sir than to stay at home for nothing."
Jiang Xue's eyes lit up. "You're right. Get the car ready. I'll be right there. "
Yao Guang replied, but he was prepared not to mention it.
Now, the people in the New Moon Hotel, not only the ordinary staff, also knew that Jiang Xue was Manager Zhang's wife. Seeing her come over, someone took the initiative to lead her to Zhang Rishan's office.
"Surprise!" Jiang Xue said with a smile.
Zhang Rishan had always been calmer than others. Now that he was getting older, there were very few things that could make his expression change. He smiled faintly and said, "Why are you so kind as to come visit me at work today?"
"Hmph, how boring." Jiang Xue said as she curled her lips.
"Ah Xue, come here!"
Jiang Xue immediately put her hands on her hips and said unhappily, "If I go over just because you tell me to, then I'll lose face. I'm not going. "
Zhang Rishan couldn't help but laugh. It was said that people became calmer as they got older. When it came to Ah Xue, it was different. In these past few years, her personality had become more and more childish.
However, he liked Ah Xue's personality. It was very lively.
His tone became even gentler as he said, "Okay, I said the wrong thing just now." As he spoke, he got up and walked straight to Jiang Xue's side. He reached out and pulled her into his arms. Smelling the faint mint fragrance on her body, the annoyance caused by the two juniors of the Qi family and Li family seemed to have dissipated in an instant.
Her sharp senses detected Zhang Rishan's momentary relaxation. She had originally wanted to cause trouble for him, but now she didn't have the mood and said, "But those blind people have come to bother you again." Her tone was incomparably certain.
It wasn't that she had the ability to predict the future, but that she understood Zhang Rishan too well.
The only things that could annoy him now were Gu Tongjing and the Nine Gates.
"Mm. Didn't that brat who went to Gu Tongjing with Wu Xie come back? They're using different methods to beat around the bush to find out more about Gu Tongjing. "Zhang Rishan sighed slightly. Actually, there weren't many treasures in Gu Tongjing, but the danger was real! Moreover, after eighty years of development, it was definitely more dangerous than before.
They wanted to go treasure hunting in Gu Tongjing without considering whether they had the ability to do so.
Jiang Xue then asked, "Speaking of that brat, he's probably the core of Wu Xie's plan. Don't we need to send people to protect him?" After all, Wu Xie was nowhere to be seen now. This child had become a target. Those who had designs on him weren't just the Nine Gates, but also the Wang family, who had always been in the shadows and hadn't shown themselves.
Now that was the real danger.
Zhang Rishan said, "Don't worry, I've already sent Luo Que to follow him. I'm sure Wu Xie has made arrangements as well. There's no need to worry about his safety for the time being. "
Jiang Xue nodded and said, "Rishan, although I'm not interested in the Nine Gates, you're my everything now. However, Rishan, you are my everything now. If anyone dares to lay a hand on you, I will definitely make them regret ever coming to this world. "When she said this, although her tone was weak, it carried a trace of ruthlessness no matter how one listened to it.
If it were anyone else, they might find Jiang Xue's words to be filled with viciousness. However, Zhang Rishan was different. He had been born in a chaotic world and had spent his youth in a sea of blood. He had also followed Zhang Qishan into the underworld. Although he had turned over a new leaf, he wasn't a kind-hearted person. He reached out and tickled Jiang Xue's nose. There was a smile in his voice as he said, "Yes, then this husband will rely on you in the future."
"Mm."
Zhang Rishan glanced at the clock hanging on the wall and slowly let go. There was a hint of longing in his movements as he said, "It's lunchtime. It's rare that you're in the mood today. Let's eat together before you go back. "
"I want to eat your cooking," Jiang Xue reached out and wrapped her arms around Zhang Rishan's neck. There was a hint of coquettishness in her voice.
Zhang Rishan smiled and nodded. "Okay. It just so happens that I saw a lot of seafood in the kitchen this morning. I'll make a seafood feast for you. "Less than two days after Ah Xue returned, he moved out of New Moon Hotel and returned to the courtyard house. However, because there were too many things going on in the Nine Gates these days, he rarely went back at noon. Thus, he kept his room in New Moon Hotel.
"Mm. Do you need my help? "Jiang Xue asked.
Although Zhang Rishan looked like a straight man, he definitely scored full marks when it came to taking care of people. After they got married, because she said that she hated the smell of oil and smoke, they hired servants to take care of their three meals a day. After New China was established, they moved to Beijing. Zhang Rishan didn't like having outsiders at home, so he began to learn how to cook. Now, several decades had passed. Even if he didn't have any talent in cooking, he had already learned how to cook well.
Therefore, although Jiang Xue's culinary skills were not bad, she rarely cooked unless it was for the sake of fun, or if she occasionally had a whim.
Zhang Rishan shook his head. "No need. Just wait and eat." Ah Xue's closed-door cultivation this time took a long time, and she also failed. Her meridians were slightly damaged, and she rushed back, so she didn't have time to properly nourish her meridians. As a result, her lips were still pale.
Jiang Xue was just being polite and didn't plan to cook. Hearing this, she tiptoed slightly and kissed Zhang Rishan's lips. "You've worked hard."
"Mm."
Before they returned to their room, Zhang Rishan had already asked someone to prepare all the ingredients through the internal line.
"So handsome!" Jiang Xue stared at Zhang Rishan with a bit of infatuation. Zhang Rishan was born with a handsome face, but he didn't speak much. He had a straight face all year round, and his temperament was restrained and steady. He was a typical abstinence type. One look at him and people would have the urge to pounce on him.
Zhang Rishan's sharp ears heard Jiang Xue's words. The corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a trace of helplessness. Back then, everyone in the Nine Gates knew that his wife was obsessed with looks. Now that the old man had passed away, there weren't many people left who knew about this. Moreover, with the passage of time. Her bad habit didn't change. Instead, it tended to worsen day by day.
He always felt that his success in wooing his wife back then was due to his face.
Bingo, she was attracted to your face.
Nine dishes and one soup filled the entire dining table.
Of course, Zhang Rishan wasn't someone who didn't know his limits. Although there were many dishes, the portions of each dish were small. Moreover, Jiang Xue had a big appetite, so he wasn't worried about wasting food at all.
Jiang Xue ate the meal to her heart's content.
Zhang Rishan couldn't help but laugh when he saw this. "Is it really that delicious?" Although his culinary skills were pretty good after so many years of practice. Compared to the five-star chef of New Moon Restaurant, there was still a big gap.
Jiang Xue gave him a thumbs-up and said with a smile, "Yes. Because there's your love in it. "
"Glib tongue." Although Zhang Rishan said this, his tone was unbelievably gentle.
In the afternoon, Jiang Xue and Zhang Rishan stayed together and didn't go anywhere. Zhang Rishan was handling some official business. Jiang Xue sat next to him and started cutting small paper figurines again.
Because Zhang Rishan was by her side, her state of mind also calmed down. She cut very smoothly. In the afternoon, she cut more paper figurines than she did in a day yesterday. This made Jiang Xue very satisfied. She said to Zhang Rishan with a smile, "It seems that you are my lucky star. In the future, I will follow you. The efficiency is much better than when I am alone at home."
"Since my wife is willing to come, I am naturally very happy." Zhang Rishan said. Turning his head, he saw that the box was already filled with small paper figurines. They were festive red, and each of them was very carefully cut. Just looking at them, they seemed to have a happy or angry expression, which was very pleasing to look at. However, Zhang Rishan, who had seen the ferocity of these small paper figurines, only felt that it was strange and not pleasing.
However, although this thing was strange, it was a good thing to save lives in a critical moment.
Jiang Xue always did what she said. From that day on, she really was stationed at New Moon Hotel. She was basically inseparable from Zhang Rishan. This made the staff of New Moon Hotel eat a lot of dog food. There was no other way. The two of them had an unspoken tacit understanding, and they never avoided taboo coming in and out.
The way their fingers intertwined gave a lot of single people a blow to the heart.
They spoke slowly, and in private, many people complained, "I really didn't expect you to be this kind of President Zhang. Speaking of which, you are an old married couple. Is there a need to learn how to show off your love?"
Just like that, a week passed.
"Ah Xue, I am going to Wu Mountain Residence. Do you want to come?" Zhang Rishan asked.
She nodded and said, "Okay. I can also visit Old Madam Wu on the way. Speaking of which, I haven't seen her for nearly twenty years. I wonder how she is now. "
Old Madam Wu was the wife of the dog Fifth Master. Although Jiang Xue didn't have much interaction with her and didn't have much contact with her, she had a good impression of her. She especially liked her transparent and open-minded personality.
Zhang Rishan thought for a moment and replied, "Fifth Madam has always been in good health!"
"When are you leaving?"
"Tomorrow night."
Jiang Xue smiled and said, "Okay, I will prepare. I have a feeling that something very interesting will happen in Hangzhou this time. "As she spoke, her eyes sparkled.
