Chapter 55 Xie Yu's Visit
Did you make a special trip just for this?
Wang Yiyi had some doubts.
Xie Yu's relationship with the two Wang brothers shouldn't have reached this level. If Xie Yu were just an ordinary soldier, she might believe it, but Xie Yu is General Xie's nephew, so it's a bit strange that he would make this special trip.
Seemingly aware of Wang Yiyi's thoughts, Xie Yu added, "I also wanted to see the divine steed. Why didn't I see it when I entered the courtyard?"
Wang Yi breathed a sigh of relief; he was afraid she would run away.
"The roads in the village are a bit narrow, so the horse-drawn carriages can't get in and have to be left outside the town."
Xie Yu was taken aback and immediately stood up from the stool: "How can such a treasure be left outside the town so casually? What if someone takes it away, or it runs away?"
"I'll go with you to bring the horse back; we can leave the carriage there."
As Xie Yu spoke, she pulled Wang Yiyi outside.
Big Head and Second Head were completely bewildered, but seeing Xie Yu holding Little Sister's hand, Big Head immediately went over and separated their hands: "General Xie, what are you doing?"
Xie Yu then realized he had overstepped his bounds, and scratched his head somewhat embarrassed: "Miss Wang, I was too hasty. I was just too impatient."
Wang Yiyi rubbed her wrist. Sure enough, he was a soldier; he didn't hold back. She said irritably, "I already told you that no one can ride this horse. General Xie, you can rest assured."
Xie Yu apologized again: "I was overthinking it. These kinds of divine objects recognize their owners, but leaving them out like this might attract thieves. I'll go and guard them now."
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became. Although the horse could not be led away normally, what if someone had murderous intentions?
This time he went out by himself.
Wang Yi quickly stopped the person, saying, "No need, I've entrusted someone to take care of it. It won't get lost, and no one will want it."
He added a warning: "This is my horse; General Xie seems to be overly concerned."
Xie Yu then stopped walking.
Indeed, he seemed too eager, and awkwardly replied, "I was just asking."
He quickly changed the subject: "Brother Wang, do you know how to ride a horse? My horse may not be as good as your sister's, but it's still a top-quality white horse."
Big Head shook his head somewhat awkwardly; he had never even touched a horse before.
"It's okay if you can't ride, I'll teach you." Xie Yu put one hand on Wang Datou's shoulder and the other on Wang Ertou's shoulder, leading the two to where the horses were tied up.
Wang Yiyi did not go with the three of them.
She stared at Xie Yu's back for a while, feeling that something was off about him, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. However, she could tell that he didn't seem to have any bad intentions at the moment.
She shook her head and turned to go back into the house.
The three of them didn't return until almost dinnertime, and it was clear that they had become much closer.
"Brother Xie, your horse is really a fine horse. When I join the army, can I get one to ride?" Wang Ertou stroked the horse with reluctance.
Xie Yu patted his chest and assured her, "Of course."
Wang Datou remained silent, but it was clear that he was extremely fond of it.
Li brought over a basin of water: "Wash up and eat, you're all covered in mud."
While the three of them were washing their faces, Li had already put all the dishes on the table.
Looking at the dishes on the table, Wang Yiyi suddenly felt a little guilty. Before she could stop them, Li Shi had already spoken.
"Little Xie, you don't mind me calling you that, do you?" Before Xie Yu could answer, Madam Li proudly introduced, "Don't underestimate these leftovers; they were eaten by the county magistrate, and they're still in good condition."
As she spoke, she placed a piece of pig's trotter on Xie Yu's plate: "This pig's trotter is stewed perfectly, you should try it."
Xie Yu looked at the pig's trotter in the bowl with some disgust. Although he was not favored at home, he had never eaten other people's leftovers. However, under Li's expectant gaze, he still ate the pig's trotter.
He forced a smile: "It does taste pretty good."
"Of course, how could the food at Yinyuelou, the biggest restaurant in the city, be bad?" Madam Li then put a few more bites of other dishes on Xie Yu's plate.
Xie Yu had no choice but to eat a few bites before finally finding a chance to ask, "How come there are dishes from Silver Moon Pavilion here?"
He simply couldn't bring himself to say that it was leftovers from the county magistrate.
The Wang family didn't seem to have a deep relationship with the county magistrate, otherwise they wouldn't have begged him to save people.
Li's face showed even more pride. Just as she was about to speak, Wang Yiyi interrupted her: "The county magistrate said he had misunderstood us and specially rewarded us with a table of food."
She was afraid that Xie Yu would press her for details and then settle accounts with the county magistrate.
Oh dear, that would be terrible. I wonder if the magistrate would be furious.
Fortunately, Xie Yu didn't press the matter further. Li Shi then served him some more food: "We haven't properly thanked you for saving Daya last time. We'll take some tofu back with us later for an extra meal."
Seeing that Da Tou and Er Tou were staring longingly at the meat in his bowl, Xie Yu quickly put some vegetables from his bowl on their plates and gave them to the two of them: "Auntie, you should eat too. It was just a small thing, and besides, Miss Wang paid you."
"That's only right." Mrs. Li was about to serve him more food.
"That's enough, Auntie, that's really enough," Xie Yu said, covering the bowl in refusal.
Li paused in her chopsticks, then turned and placed the food in Wang Yi's bowl, her smile unwavering: "How does this dish taste?"
"The food at Silver Moon Pavilion is naturally excellent," Xie Yu replied reluctantly, picking up a piece of tofu. "This tofu tastes wonderful. Did your aunt make it? It's even better than the food at Silver Moon Pavilion."
Mrs. Li beamed with joy: "Oh, not at all, my cooking is barely edible."
The meal finally came to an end thanks to Mr. Li's great hospitality.
Wang Yi was worried for Xie Yu; when Li Shi got enthusiastic, most people couldn't handle it.
Fortunately, Li was in a hurry to grind tofu after finishing her meal, which relieved Xie Yu.
He repeated his instructions to Big Head and Second Head: "Just keep doing what you're doing now, you'll definitely get elected."
Even after Xie Yu left, Er Tou was still immersed in the joy of riding a horse. "I really hope we can come early tomorrow. Riding a horse feels so liberating. I wish our family could buy a horse too."
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something: "Third Sister, what's the deal with that divine steed Brother Xie just mentioned?"
He had wanted to ask for a while, but with all the horse racing and meals, he had completely forgotten.
Wang Yi calmly replied, "That traveling merchant offered me a carriage, so now our family owns a carriage."
I'll have to tell my family about this car sooner or later anyway, so I might as well take this opportunity to tell them.
"What?" Er Ya was the first to jump up.
Immediately afterwards, the two men cheered, "We'll have a carriage and horses in our house!"
The others were also overjoyed. A carriage—something only wealthy families had—their family now had one!
Madam Li, however, was somewhat uneasy: "So they're just giving you this carriage for free? A carriage must cost several tens of taels of silver, right? Did you promise them something?"
That won't do if it goes too far.
