Chapter 157: Xia Yan's Vast Wealth
The kitchen door was gently pulled open!
A figure flashed, and Xia Yan walked out of the kitchen, a strong medicinal smell spreading from inside to outside. From yesterday afternoon until now, Xia Yan hadn't even left the kitchen door.
"We did it!"
Xia Yan's face showed a joy that was hard to conceal. For the preparation of this medicine, he had devoted himself wholeheartedly for ten hours, during which his nerves were tense all the time.
After going through a period of gentle heat and slow stewing, this medicine was finally produced.
The only thing that made Xia Yan a little regretful was that he finally got only one bottle of medicine. This bottle, the color of the medicine is slightly reddish, the aroma is not strong, and there is an indescribable fragrance. However, the air in the kitchen has a very strong medicinal smell. More than 20 kinds of medicinal materials have been processed through various procedures, and all kinds of medicinal smells are mixed in the air.
Xia Yan pushed the kitchen door wide open and pulled all the windows open, letting the medicinal smell inside dissipate as soon as possible.
He touched the medicine that had been placed on his chest, and Xia Yan smiled with some satisfaction, feeling very relieved. Although in the end he only got this one bottle of medicine, according to what Sheng Huang said, this kind of medicine would only be effective when used for the first time. Even if it was used again later, there wouldn't be any effect.
In Dragon Quest VI, there are many kinds of tonics and medicines. Some can be used repeatedly, while others can only be used once. Even if they can be used repeatedly, using them again after the first time will have no effect.
Finally, after taking a last look at the originally messy kitchen which had been cleaned up and left no trace, Xia Yan stepped out into the courtyard.
"It can't be used in the Xia family's mansion, when the time comes and the Ling hole is enlarged, it will definitely cause some intense fluctuations. If it were to happen in the Xia family's mansion, it would definitely attract a lot of attention!" Xia Yan's eyes flashed, "Hmm, tomorrow I'll go to Yushui Mountain, there are usually no people going there, I'll find a secluded place and use this medicine again. With the earth dog helping me guard the law, even if there are other wild beasts or humans, they won't be able to disturb me."
"What about the local dog?" Xia Yan was taken aback.
He didn't see this guy when he came back yesterday!
"You won't sneak back to Heifeng Mountain and become the king again because of boredom, will you?" Xia Yan's heart skipped a beat, "This guy is too clever, if he really escapes, I'll have a hard time finding him again."
In the time before Tu Gou and Xia Yan, there was a great king of Hei Feng Mountain. It was a Phantom Wolf, but not just any ordinary Phantom Wolf. At that time, it led a group of wild beasts to attack Huang Ye Town, with Tu Gou as its leader.
Shaking his head, Xia Yan looked around the right wing of the house and did not see the local dog.
Even Xiao Qing was not in the west wing.
"None of them are here!" Xia Yan furrowed his brow, feeling a bit hungry in his stomach. Having gone without food for as long as ten hours, anyone would feel hungry.
"Hey Xiaoyan!"
Just as Xia Yan was thinking that Xiao Qing wasn't around, Xiao Qing pushed open the door of the small courtyard and walked in, wearing a simple yet elegant floral dress that made her look even more refined and otherworldly.
When she saw Xia Yan, Xiao Qing quickly walked in from the courtyard gate and called out happily.
Xiao Qing, where did you go just now?" Xia Yan asked with a smile.
"Oh, look!"
Little Qing's eyes lit up, and she was holding something that seemed like a piece of clothing. Moreover, there were sparkling threads attached to it.
"What's this?" County asked, frowning and taking a look.
"This is the clothes, Xiaoyan brother, I made it with my own hands, and it will be done in two more days. Just now, there was a place where I didn't sew well, so I went to ask Xiao Yu sister for help. Xiao Yu sister's hands are really clever, what she did is very good." Little Qing said with a smile.
Xiao Qing's younger sister Xiao Yu is Xia Zixing's maid, and Xia Yan has also seen her.
Xia Yan shook her head, "You need clothes, just go to the market or those clothing stores and buy ready-made ones. Is your money all spent? I have plenty here."
As he spoke, Xia Yan was about to take out his money.
Xiao Qing hastily shook her head, "Xia Yan Ge, you're really foolish, can't you see that these are men's clothes? How could we women wear such things?"
Xiao Qing gave Xia Yan a glance with her melancholic eyes as she spoke.
"Xia Yan was taken aback, Xiao Qing, why are you making men's clothes?"
Suddenly she smiled again, "Could it be that you've taken a liking to one of the young men from our Xia family, so you're making clothes for him?"
Xiao Qing suddenly pouted her small mouth, and her eyelids drooped down. She didn't speak, nor did she look at Xia Yan.
"What's wrong?" Xia Yan hastily said: "Did I say something wrong?"
After some thought, Xia Yan still didn't know what he said wrong.
"This dress is for Xiaoyan's brother! Xiaoqing finally spoke up, but it was clear that she wasn't very happy."
"Are you kidding me?" Xia Yan said in dismay, "You're doing this for me?"
"Haha!" Xia Yan looked at Xiao Qing and said, "Xiao Qing, since I was eight years old, no one has ever sewn clothes for me, let alone made them. Thank you, Xiao Qing."
Taking two steps forward, Xia Yan took a closer look and found that the materials were not particularly luxurious, but they were much better than what he was currently wearing. Moreover, the style looked very good.
Making this garment is no easy task, every stitch and thread is sewn with care, it would be impossible to complete in less than half a month. Looking at it, this garment again
"Not bad, not bad!" Xia Yan nodded while watching.
At this time, Xiao Qing's eyes lit up again, looking at Xia Yan and saying: "Xia Yan brother, do you like this dress?"
Xia Yan nodded repeatedly, "I like it, of course I like the clothes Xiao Qing makes. How can I not like them?"
"Alright Xiaoqing, let's put these clothes in the house first, we'll go to the wine tower in Fang City to eat, I'm starving." Xia Yan looked up at the sky, it was almost noon, and it was time for lunch.
The little green one cleverly said "uh-huh" and then went back into her room, putting down her clothes before coming out again.
Since becoming Xia Yan's maid, she had never gone out to eat with Xia Yan. Xia Yan was usually too busy and spent almost all his time cultivating.
The two of them walked out of the backyard and into the front yard. There were not many members of the Xia family active in the backyard, but there were more in the front yard.
All the young members of the Xia family who saw Xia Yan greeted him. Even the elders of Xia Yan, after seeing Xia Yan, quickly walked over to greet him specially.
Status is different, status is different! However, Xia Yan did not rely on his own status to show off his pride. As long as someone called out to him, he would respond warmly.
Xiao Qing lowered her head and followed behind Xia Yan, looking frightened. She was just a maid, of course she didn't dare walk alongside Xia Yan.
Xiao Qing, am I walking too fast?
Xia Yan suddenly felt like Xiao Qing had been following him all along, and he couldn't help but stop in his tracks and turn around to ask.
Xiao Qing was startled and hastily waved her small hands, saying: "No, no, no, young master, I can keep up."
When the two were alone together, Xiao Qing called Xia Yan "brother", but in front of outsiders, she still called him "young master". This etiquette Xiao Qing did not dare to disobey. No matter how good Xia Yan was to her, she was always a maid's identity.
In fact, the young masters of the Xia family also knew that Xia Yan was extremely good to Xiao Qing. Who didn't know that Xia Yan had demolished the Ju Xian Building in the city? Why did he demolish the Ju Xian Building? It was all because of Xiao Qing's sake.
Actually, many of the maids in the Xia family were very envious of Xiao Qing, and even jealous. However, their jealousy was useless, and they could only lament their own bad fate. Many people thought to themselves: If they could meet a master like Xia Yan, it would be worth dying for. Moreover, Xia Yan was also born so handsome that just one glance at him would make people's souls flutter.
"That Xiao Qing is really lucky, able to see Young Master Xia Yan every day!" From afar, some maids couldn't help but sneak glances at Xia Yan.
"Master Xia Yan is really handsome and has great abilities, I wonder who will marry Master Xia Yan in the future." Another maid said with envy.
"In any case, we won't have that fate anyway, being able to see Young Master Xia Yan is already satisfying enough."
Along the way, they kept bidding farewell, and it took almost an incense stick's time before Xia Yan finally came out of the Xia family gate.
"By the way, Xiao Qing, where's the mutt? I didn't see it when I came back yesterday." Xia Yan asked with a frown.
Xiao Qing said "Ah", and hastily added: "The little dog has been going out every day, only coming back at night. Last night it came back, it wanted to go to the kitchen to find you, but I stopped it, afraid it would affect your cultivation."
When Xiaoyan heard Xiaoqing say this, Xiaoyan's heart finally relaxed. Although it hadn't been long since he brought the mutt back from Heifeng Mountain, Xiaoyan had already grown accustomed to thinking about the mutt often in his heart. If the mutt were to leave, Xiaoyan might really be heartbroken for a while.
Knowing that Tǔ Gǒu had gone out and gotten crazy, Xià Yán naturally also put his heart at ease.
On the long street, looking at the various shops on both sides of the street, warm sunshine shines on the body.
It's been a long time since I've felt so relaxed!
"Xiao Qing, don't you think that handkerchief looks good? Xia Yan pointed to a handkerchief stall with various colored handkerchiefs and asked Xiao Qing."
Colorful handkerchiefs with various beautiful patterns embroidered on them.
Xiao Qing looked at these handkerchiefs and nodded her little head, saying: "They look great, but this kind of handkerchief is very expensive, one costs several silver coins."
It seems like Xiao Qing also asked about the price.
A handkerchief and a few silver coins are indeed quite expensive for ordinary people, while an ordinary garment costs only one or two silver coins.
"Hehe, just a few silver coins, it's not expensive!" Xia Yan shook his head and smiled.
Now he has tens of millions of gold coins, so naturally he wouldn't care about a few silver coins!
"Come on, let's go buy some!" Xia Yan waved his hand and pulled Xiao Qing's small hand as they walked over.
Xia Yan pulled her small hand, and Xiao Qing's face suddenly turned into a bright red apple, with sparkling eyes darting back and forth, her heartbeat accelerating rapidly, as if a little deer was running wildly in her heart.
"Boss, this towel, I want to buy a few." Xia Yan touched the texture of the towel, soft to the touch, really good. And on it, there was a faint fragrance.
The old boss's eyes flashed, and he hurried over with a smile, "Young master, this handkerchief is not cheap. These are all good things transported from Purple Leaf City, the cost is very high, and the material is excellent."
Xia smiled and glanced at the boss, "Then how much does this expensive handkerchief cost?"
