Chapter 854 - 854: Talking to the Wall
“Exactly.” Xue Da was so happy that he smiled. In the past, they couldn’t bear to eat meat at home and would always save it for the guests. It was already generous enough to kill a chicken during the New Year. Now, they can kill chickens almost every day during the New Year.
Everyone in his family was doing well.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan had finished cleaning the vegetables.
Liu Guixia rushed out of the kitchen when she saw the two helping around. “The water is too cold for you, don’t get sick from the cold. Go quickly. Ask Sifu to get you some hot water to wash your hands. After you wash your hands, go and play instead. I’ll go and finish up the rest.”
“Yeah, don’t get sick.” Xue Da added. As he said that, he even got up and personally brought Jiang Yue and Xue Yan into the kitchen with his walking stick. He stared at Jiang Yue and Xue Yan as they washed their hands with hot water.
Since Xue Da was happy to bring them along, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan naturally did not say anything about doing the work themselves. Now that Xue Da was watching over them, they had no choice but to comply.
Sifu had just tested the water in the basin and found it warm enough for the kids.
After washing his hands and drying them, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan helped their grandfather out of the kitchen.
Xue Da liked this very much. It showed how responsible the kids were.
“When are Daxi and Xiaoxi coming?” Xue Dagui had already plucked the chicken feathers. The chicken had already been put on the stove to stew. He was in the courtyard cracking melon seeds and spitting out melon seed skins all over the ground. When he saw his father come out of the kitchen, he helped him up and asked.
Xue Gouzi also hurried over to help him up.
“You should know by now how far their house is.” Xue Da smiled as he was helped to sit down.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan saw that their grandfather had sat down, so they stopped supporting him.
Seeing that there was nothing else that needed their help, they sat down on a small bench.
Jiang Yue began to peel peanuts and melon seeds quietly. She was used to peeling them first before eating.
Xue Yan also had nothing to do, so he helped her peel it, so that she could eat it earlier.
Jiang Yue was peeling melon seeds and peanuts while Xue Yan was helping her peel them. On the other hand, in Pingan Town, at Quanping Inn, Shao Shuting had come and even met Shao Zhongxi.
In the first room, Shao Shuting suppressed his voice and talked about how the Ji family was uprooted. Prince Qing, Consort Yi, Marquis Ji, Ji Qiwei, and the others were all dead. Ji Xiehui was Huo Wenqing, the grandson of General Huo, and was conferred the title of Marquis of Loyalty. Xue Sanfu had rendered meritorious service and was promoted to a Commander. Prince Yi was not the son of the emperor and was given to an extremely kind couple to be raised. He told Shao Zhongxi everything in detail.
He had just returned to the military camp from the West and happened to receive the reward and other news from the capital.
Shao Zhongxi did not give much reaction to the news.
“All this and you’re going to say nothing about it? Anything??” Sometimes, it felt like he was talking to the wall.
Shao Zhongxi glanced at his brother and said concisely, “Wei Zizhan has a birthmark on his sole, he is not the prince, but Xue Yan is.”
“What?!”
