Chapter 888: Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, cold beauty x killer 22
The world returned to peace, and the relationship between Shen Xi and Xie Qi became closer. Although He Shi had ascended the throne as emperor, whenever the treasury was tight, he would still lower his face to ask Shen Xi for help.
After a few interactions, the relationship between them became more harmonious.
Xie Qi was no longer jealous of Shen Xi and Master He's closeness as he had been before.
That day, Shen Xi went to pay his respects to Shen Kan and Sikong Ying as usual. Just as he was about to leave, Sikong Ying suddenly grabbed his hand.
"Now that the mansion has hired a few capable managers, you don't need to look after the shop in person anymore. You should be more relaxed now than before, right?"
Sikong Ying said, with a hint of concern in his tone.
Shen Xi was a little confused and didn't understand why she suddenly brought up these things, but he still sat there patiently and listened to her next words.
"Xiao Qi has been with you for more than a year. Haven't you ever thought about giving him a legitimate status?" Sikong Ying finally expressed his concerns.
Shen Xi then realized that the old couple was worried about this matter. In fact, he had considered it before, but he had been too busy recently and had delayed it.
However, his silence caused Shen Kan and Sikong Ying to misunderstand again.
"Do you think that marrying a man will damage the reputation of the Shen family?" Sikong Ying asked cautiously, "If you are worried about this, there is no need to postpone the wedding because of this. Xiaoqi will inevitably feel uncomfortable."
Shen Xi quickly explained: "Grandfather and grandmother, you misunderstood. I am not hesitant for this reason. It's just that I had too many things to do recently, so I delayed this matter. In fact, I have already made a plan in my mind."
After hearing his responsible words, Sikong Ying nodded reluctantly. She really liked Xie Qi.
Sometimes Shen Xi was too busy to go home, and Xie Qi would always stand at the door waiting for him to return. When she was alone, Xie Qi would also come to keep her company.
In Sikong Ying's eyes, apart from her gender, Xie Qi is an exceptionally good granddaughter-in-law.
She knew that Xie Qi was an orphan without a father or mother, and she felt even more pity for him, so she urged Shen Xi to give him a legitimate status.
If there is no status given, who would be willing to follow him in this unclear way?
More importantly, Sikong Ying always thought that Shen Xi was the one above, so he felt that Xie Qi might have suffered a great injustice.
Shen Xi looked at Sikong Ying's concerned eyes and felt warm in his heart.
The expression on her face finally relaxed. She patted Shen Xi's hand and said earnestly, "Good boy, I know you know your limits. If you settle it sooner, it will put everyone at ease."
Shen Xi returned to his yard and found Xie Qi squatting in front of the flower they had planted together a few days ago, holding a kettle in his hand and watering the flower carefully.
"Aqi." Shen Xi called softly, with a hint of tenderness in his voice.
Hearing the voice, Xie Qi immediately put down the kettle in his hand, raised his head, and his eyes lit up instantly. He quickly stood up, opened his arms, with an unconscious smile on his face, walked quickly towards Shen Xi, and hugged him in his arms.
"Where did you go just now? Why didn't I see you when I opened my eyes?" Xie Qi buried his head in Shen Xi's neck, with a hint of coquettishness in his voice.
"I went to pay my respects to my grandparents." Shen Xi answered softly, his hands naturally wrapped around Xie Qi's waist, feeling the other's warmth.
Xie Qi raised his head and looked into Shen Xi's eyes: "Then why didn't you wake me up? I should have gone with you."
"It's okay. You accompanied me to look at the account books yesterday. Seeing how tired you were, I didn't have the heart to call you." Shen Xi smiled and reached out to gently stroke Xie Qi's cheek.
"Do you know what my grandparents told me?" Shen Xi deliberately kept the question in suspense, with a hint of mischief in his eyes.
Xie Qi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "How would I know? I don't have clairvoyance or super hearing."
"They want me to give you a status. Otherwise, they said that you will be wronged if you follow me." Shen Xi's tone became serious, his eyes fixed on Xie Qi's expression.
Upon hearing this, Xie Qi immediately showed a lighthearted smile on his face, but he still tried to suppress the impatience in his heart, and said calmly: "It's not aggrieved to be able to stay with Xixi. Whether it's a name or not, it really doesn't matter."
Shen Xi knew him very well. When he heard this, he knew that Xie Qi actually cared about him. He sighed softly, reached out and tapped Xie Qi on the head, his action was full of intimacy and pampering.
"You, what are you thinking about every day? Why do I need those empty names?
I have money, power and influence. All I need is to run the Shen family business well. Why should I care what others think of me?
And if this kind of thing gets out, what impact will it have? Even the matchmakers will avoid me when they see me."
Shen Xi paused, his eyes becoming gentler: "Or do you not want this matter to get out, so that those uninformed matchmakers will all trample the threshold of my Shen family?"
"Of course not, I don't think so." Xie Qi explained hurriedly.
Shen Xi stood on tiptoe and gave Xie Qi a kiss on the cheek, his movements gentle and affectionate.
"My Ah Qi is the best, you deserve it. And there's more, this is just the basics, I will also give you a betrothal gift, so that when you get into my bridal sedan, it will be covered with red dowry for ten miles."
Shen Xi held his hand, and his tone seemed a little coquettish.
"But I will make you suffer a little when the time comes. You will sit in the sedan chair and be mistaken for my bride."
Xie Qi only cared about whether she could be with him. Since he didn't care much about the status just now, why would he care about these superficial things?
"I said I won't feel wronged no matter what."
Just as Sikong Ying said, the Shen family recruited several more capable subordinates, and Shen Xi's life became much easier.
So these days he has been busy looking for someone to calculate the date, and then looking for some servants to decorate the Shen Mansion.
Let it be full of wedding atmosphere.
The day before the engagement ceremony.
Xie Qi was arranged to live in another house of the Shen family in the capital. This was specially arranged by Shen Xi in order to follow the traditional wedding customs - the newlyweds should not meet before the wedding.
Wait until the next morning.
Before dawn, the Shen family was already busy. Shen Xi got up early, put on his wedding dress, and personally checked every detail. He was excited and nervous, fearing that there would be any omissions.
She has been married to him so many times, but this time she is marrying him in person.
Such a mood naturally cannot be replaced by other moods.
Led by Shen Xi, the wedding procession set off in a grand procession. In the procession, gongs and drums were beating loudly, and firecrackers were blasting, attracting many passers-by to stop and watch.
Arriving at Xie Qi's house, Shen Xi dismounted and walked quickly towards the door.
The attendants had already prepared everything. Xie Qi was wearing a red wedding dress, a phoenix crown, and a red veil on his head, sitting in the room.
"Ah Qi, I'm here to pick you up."
Shen Xi took his hand and helped him into the sedan chair.
In fact, many people watching could tell the gender of the two of them, but they only talked about it in a low voice and did not say it out loud.
"Get up the sedan!"
With a loud shout, the wedding procession set off again. The sounds of gongs, drums and firecrackers rang out again, creating a very lively atmosphere.
The ceremony was truly grand, and the two people had a truly grand wedding.
night--
Shen Xi returned to the room and lifted Xie Qi's veil with the wedding scale handed to him by someone standing nearby.
"Aqi has been waiting for so long, it must be very tiring, right?"
"No."
After the two of them drank the wedding wine, they asked all the servants waiting in the room to leave.
Xie Qi simply reached out and pulled the person standing in front of him into his arms and sat him down.
She placed her hands on his waist and rubbed it gently.
"Just now you were worried that I was tired. You've been standing outside for so long, it should be more difficult than me, right?"
Shen Xi buried his head in his arms, and said aggrievedly, "Being a groom is so tiring, you should be the groom next time."
"Okay, I'll do it next time."
The little bit of wine Shen Xi drank wouldn't make him too drunk, but it still made his nerves a little numb.
So I didn't notice anything wrong with this sentence.
She simply turned over, sat on his lap, and forced herself on him.
"I heard that the wedding night should be kept until the red candles are extinguished. I wonder if my husband can do it?"
Xie Qi smiled and clamped his restless hands.
"Xixi, just don't shout stop when the time comes."
But he still couldn't wait for the arm-long red candle to go out, as Shen Xi fell asleep due to exhaustion.
After that, their lives gradually became calmer, but also closer.
Because they are not too busy, the two of them will go to other places to hang out and have fun from time to time.
Anyway, the two people live very happily and happily in this world, just as happy as they did in the previous worlds.
