Chapter 722: Can’t Ride a Horse

Xuanyuan Chen went to a restaurant and packed up a roasted chicken with honey sauce, a portion of five-spice beef, and bought a few packs of candied snacks at the street corner. When he got home, he had a meal with his mother and Jiajia, and he tore off the chicken legs and gave them to his mother and wife. One said, "Jiajia is pregnant. You have all worked hard to take care of me these past two days."

"I am not taking care of Jiajia? She is clearly taking care of me. Jiajia has really worked hard during this period." Mrs. Qiao handed the chicken legs to her son, "You have also worked hard in the court, so please make up for it."

In the past two years, life has been more peaceful and comfortable than ever before. Qiao's complexion looks softer than before, and her eyebrows and eyes are full of the softness and tranquility of a mother.

"Mom, you don't have to say that." Lin Jia's voice was gentle, and she also gave Xuanyuan Chen the chicken legs, "A family should take care of each other, and if we are too clear-cut, it will be a bit unconventional."

Xuanyuan Chen put the chicken legs back into their bowls: "This is specially bought for you to eat."

Qiao smiled and gave the chicken legs to Jiajia: "Jiajia is pregnant now, so she should take more supplements."

Lin Jia smiled and put the chicken legs back into Qiao's bowl: "My mother and husband don't treat me badly on weekdays, and they wouldn't give in for a chicken leg. Besides, my life is not bad now, and my mother herself is not Pay attention to taking more supplements. Once you are in good health, your husband will feel more at ease when working in the court, and there will be no worries."

The warm scene in front of Xuanyuan Chen made his heart full of warmth, but after all, this was the first time to say goodbye, and there was also some reluctance.

He cleared his throat and spoke seriously: "Mother, Jiajia, the regent sent me an errand."

When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law heard this, they both looked up at him.

"I have to leave the capital, and it may take a few months to come back." Xuanyuan Chen Jiajia's eyes fell on his face, "I need you to pay more attention to the family, and you will have to work hard during the next period of time."

"It's not hard work." Lin Jia shook his head, "But what errand did the regent send you?"

"We have to keep it a secret for the time being." Xuanyuan Chen looked at her apologetically, "I'll try my best to come back as soon as possible."

Qiao frowned: "Need to go somewhere far away?"

"Well, it's quite far." Xuanyuan Chen nodded, "But don't worry, mother, I am going with the ninth master of the Xie family on this trip. He makes the decision in everything, so I will follow him to practice and accumulate political achievements."

"That's good." Lin Jiadao, "Mr. Xie is very capable and is highly regarded by the regent. Mom and I feel more at ease when you two go out together."

After a pause, "Don't worry at home, I will take good care of mother and the child in her belly."

Although Mrs. Qiao was a little reluctant to give up, her son was an official in the court, so it was not a bad thing to go out on errands, and it might become a normal thing in the future. Once the errands were done, there would be an opportunity for promotion when he came back.

Moreover, the ninth master of the Xie family is also the benefactor of their mother and son, and it is really reassuring to go on errands with him.

After thinking about it, she nodded slowly: "Let's eat."

After the meal, Ms. Qiao stood up and said with a gentle smile, "You and Jiajia have a good chat, and I'll go pack your things."

Xuanyuan Chen nodded: "Thank you, mother."

Qiao touched his head and sighed softly: "My son has finally grown up. I didn't expect that he has reached the age where he can be independent."

In the past, such a day was simply a luxury, and one could not even imagine that such a day would come.

Xuanyuan Chen also felt that it was not real, but he had adapted to it in the past two years. He just smiled and said nothing.

The mother and son have gone through hardships and gained happiness, and they understand many things without saying them.

Mrs. Qiao walked out of the room and went to her son's room to pack his clothes. Xuanyuan Chen and Lin Jia said some words before leaving, and they were both reluctant to part with each other.

Xuanyuan Chen said: "I will definitely do things well so that you can live a good life."

"Except what kind of nonsense is this?" Lin Jia chuckled, "I feel quite happy in days like this. I have never been more satisfied, which makes me feel at ease and at ease."

Xuanyuan Chen shook his head: "It's not good enough. I know the life you lived in luxury before..."

"Achen." Lin Jia interrupted him, "Good food and clothing does not mean happiness. I support your efforts in your career, but there is no need to be too impatient. Life goes by little by little, and I hope you will do the same. A man who is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, works conscientiously in the court, and loves the people like a son outside the court, and does everything with a clear heart. Taking too big steps is not a good thing for us, and it is easy for people to get lost. "

Xuanyuan Chen was silent for a moment, and a warm smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "I know, I will definitely keep your words in mind."

This girl is good at everything. Not only is she considerate, but she is also smart and transparent. She often has free and easy thoughts that other women don't have. She doesn't pursue fame and fortune, and she doesn't compare with others. It's not like a girl of her age. mind.

However, the more this happened, the more Xuanyuan Chen told himself that he must give her the best life, so that she and her mother could live a richer life, and be able to own their own mansion in a dignified manner, with access from the front door, so that she could become a real The matron of the house.

The regent asked him and Xie Jin to leave tonight, so they couldn't delay too long. Xuanyuan Chen talked to Lin Jia for a while, said goodbye to his mother, and left the palace.

They took a carriage to the gate of Xie's house. As soon as they got off the car, they saw Xie Jin walking out of the gate. Seeing Xuanyuan Chen, Xie Jin raised his eyebrows slightly: "Is your daughter-in-law crying?"

Xuanyuan Chen's expression was like this.

Although he has been married and has the responsibilities of a husband, and has been practicing in the government for the past two years, and his temperament has become calmer, he is still a little at a loss when facing Xie Jin.

In fact, it's not his fault. Many young masters of noble families in the imperial capital are powerless in front of Xie Jin, let alone him, a bastard who has rarely been exposed to the world before?

"Let's take a carriage to leave the imperial capital first." Xie Jin got on his own carriage and asked Xuanyuan Chen to get on his carriage as well. "After leaving the imperial capital, we may change horses to travel."

Xuanyuan Chen got on his carriage and was silent for a moment: "I can't ride a horse."

Xie Jin raised his eyebrows and then nodded nonchalantly: "I can understand it."

As a bastard of the Wei Wang Mansion, Xuanyuan Chen's life in the Wei Wang Mansion was not comfortable before. It was a great fortune to be able to study, and it was strange to have time to learn to ride a horse.

Xie Jin sighed lightly: "It's not good for a man not to know how to ride a horse, especially in the future when he often goes out to do business. Wouldn't it be a hindrance if he doesn't know how to ride a horse?"

Xuanyuan Chen looked apologetic: "I will find a chance to learn."

"I'll teach you." Xie Jin smiled lightly, "When we get to the suburbs far away from the imperial capital, I'll have someone prepare two fast horses. If you have the comprehension, you can learn quickly."

Xuanyuan Chen nodded slowly: "Thank you, Master Jiu."

Xie Jin smiled lightly: "You're welcome."
