Just because she looks weak doesn't mean she's easy to bully.

Chapter 146 Taoyao (3)

Xiao Jingan took a sip of the milk tea and squinted his eyes in satisfaction. The one made by Miss Taoyao was still the best. Over the years, he had tried to make it himself and had changed many cooks to make it, but he just felt that none of them tasted as good as the one he had at that time.

"You like it, I like it too. Can I give you the recipe?"

Although Xiao Jingan already knew it, he still nodded obediently.

"This isn't some secret recipe, is it? Can you give it to me? Or how about I pay for the house?"

"Okay, fifty taels, no bargaining!"

Cheng Jinchu was just joking, but she didn't expect Xiao Jingan to directly give her a silver note worth one thousand taels. Cheng Jinchu was stunned.

Xiao Jing'an often felt regretful. It was only after that day that he learned from his cousin that Miss Taoyao loved silver the most. He actually gave her one hundred taels of silver that day. Now, going back to that time, he wanted to make her happier.

"Hey... Big Brother, you can't be ignorant of numbers, right? This is one thousand taels! One thousand taels! Did I give it to the right person?"

Cheng Jinchu waved the banknote in front of Xiao Jingan, and Xiao Jingan immediately grabbed Cheng Jinchu's wrist with a serious look on his face.

"It tastes good. And as you said, milk is very helpful for growing taller. I am still growing taller. My mother said that if a boy is short, his wife will dislike him in the future. So, this is worth this much, you are right."

Cheng Jinchu looked at the hand holding his wrist and broke free.

"I don't need so much. You gave me too much. I don't want the money. I'm just teasing you. Take it away or I'll be angry!"

Cheng Jinchu pretended to leave. Xiao Jingan pursed his lips, lowered his head, and looked a little sad.

"Don't want it, I really give it to you sincerely, there is no mistake~"

All my money is for you, Xiao Jingan added in his heart.

"Take it. I don't want it. This is too much. If I had known you were so easy to talk to, I wouldn't have teased you. Take this recipe. It's free. Didn't you say last time that you were happy to meet me? Consider this a gift for meeting me."

Xiao Jing'an knew that Miss Taoyao would not accept it, so he took the banknote back to avoid Miss Taoyao getting really angry later.

"Well, then, thank you for the gift. I like this milk tea very much. I have never tried anything so delicious."

"As long as you like it, I came here today to thank you. Recently, you and Zhang Zirui have always accompanied me everywhere, and you have also accompanied me to practice martial arts. I came here this time just thinking that I would leave after Sister Ruohua's wedding, but I didn't expect to play here for half a month. By the way, Zhang Zirui is really slow. Didn't we agree to come at this time?"

"He always procrastinates. It doesn't matter. I don't know what delayed him. He should be here soon after he has dealt with it."

Although Xiao Jing'an said this, he knew that Zhang Zirui would not be able to come today. He remembered that he had specially arranged some troubles for Zhang Zirui that day. That night, his cousin did not come until Miss Taoyao left. He was very satisfied with this result. After all, he deliberately created an opportunity to talk to Miss Taoyao alone.

"I see. By the way, we've known each other for such a long time, but I don't know where you live. Is it Jincheng (the imperial capital of the Southern Kingdom)? If I go there in the future, I can go and visit you."

"No, I'm not from the South. My mother is from Jinxiu Country. There are three sisters in total. The eldest sister is my cousin's mother. I have an aunt who is the second oldest. She has never been married and has always been single. My mother married to Han Country, so my family is in Pingcheng, Han Country."

"Your home is in Pingcheng? Are you from Han Country? Wow, you really have to travel a long way!"

When Cheng Jinchu said this, she had never thought about how far away she was. She was from Rui Country, which was even farther away from the Southern Country. The main reason was that she and her master had lived in Yue Country before, and her master had things to do there. Yue Country was the neighboring country of the Southern Country, so Cheng Jinchu sighed and said this.

"Well, where is Miss Taoyao's home?"

"Well... for me, the world is my home. I live wherever my master goes. My master takes me everywhere anyway."

"Is that so? Then, if I want to find you in the future, how can I find you?"

Cheng Jinchu thought about it seriously.

"How about this, you go find your cousin, and he has a way to inform me. You know, his master is my master's apprentice, so he is my senior brother. There is a special way of contact within the sect that cannot be passed on to others."

Xiao Jing'an nodded. This was the same as what he had said before. He later wrote a letter to Miss Taoyao through his cousin. He wanted to invite her to his home, but he didn't expect to receive a reply saying that she was not available.

After that, he wrote her a letter every month and put the letters away. He wrote twelve letters in total. When he had written enough for a year, he gave the letters to his cousin and asked him to pass them on. Unfortunately, he received the news of Miss Taoyao's death before he received her reply. He almost went crazy that day.

"Okay, I'll write you a letter. Will you write me back?"

Cheng Jinchu was stunned. No one had written to her yet. She usually received very short messages, the kind with only a few sentences on the paper.

"You want to write to me? Sure, we're pen pals, that's fine, I'll write you back."

This was something Xiao Jingan hadn't asked before. He didn't even know whether Miss Tao Yao had received the twelve letters. Now that he knew, if she had received them, she would have written back to him, and he would be satisfied.

"By the way, if you are from Han Country, I would like to ask you to do me a favor."

Finally, talking about this, Xiao Jingan really wanted to apologize to her at this time. He found the wrong person. He almost hurt her because of the wrong person. Fortunately, she was not framed by that woman.

"Well, you say."

"That's right, I have a sister, she's my stepsister, I don't have any sisters, she and I have a connection, I picked her up.

She came from a not-so-good family. Her family was afraid that she would bring bad luck to her grandmother, so they sent her to a farm to be raised when she was just born. She was raised by her grandmother all the time. Later, her grandmother died and she was hunted by someone. Fortunately, she met me and my master. I saved her and kept her by my side.

After she reaches adulthood, her family will definitely take her back. I am afraid that she will be bullied, so her family lives in Pingcheng, Han Country.

Her father is the county magistrate Shen Yun. Her family sent her to Xianyun Villa in Liu County. I think they will send her to that villa first and wait for her family to pick her up.

Alas, I don’t want her to go back, but she has family. Even though those people treat her badly, I can’t stop her from going home.

That's right, you also live in Pingcheng, so I hope you can take care of her more.

She has always been a soft-hearted person and easily bullied, so I am worried about her, but I can't just stay by her side.

When you are free, just take care of her and make sure she is not bullied by some hooligans in Pingcheng."

Cheng Jinchu didn't expect that Shen Yun would be transferred to the imperial capital later. However, the reason why she asked Xiao Jingan for help at that time was because she knew Shen Jinyi. Shen Jinyi was determined to return to the Shen family, so she didn't stop him if she couldn't stop him.

But Shen Jinyi's body was as frail as Lin Daiyu's. She was so weak that she couldn't even hold a horse stance for a minute. She was very pretty, but too kind, and she was the type that was easy to cheat.

Cheng Jinchu was very worried about her, but she also knew that she couldn't always stay by her side to protect her. So, after hearing that Xiao Jingan lived in Pingcheng, she asked Xiao Jingan to help take care of her sister.

After Cheng Jinchu finished speaking, he saw Xiao Jingan staring at him and felt a little embarrassed. After all, he had only known him for half a month, so he asked him for help.

"Well, if you find it troublesome, then..."

"It's no trouble. Miss Taoyao just asked me to take care of her in Pingcheng. It's no trouble at all."

By the way, at the beginning Cheng Jinchu did only ask him to take care of her sister a little, because they were in Pingcheng, so she didn’t ask for much.

Because he liked Miss Taoyao, he thought about pleasing his sister-in-law first, so that his sister-in-law would have a good impression of him in the future, and then Miss Taoyao would definitely have a better impression of him. But he really didn't expect that he had good intentions and even went to Xianyun Villa to find someone, but he ended up finding a fake one made by the manager, which really made him angry.
