patiently stayed by Shui'er's side, explaining to her from time to time, "This is red rice cake, which is the most famous snack in Baima Town. If Miss Shui'er is greedy, you can buy a few pieces and try it."

"It's called a pawn shop. Our Baima Town is remote and there are not many businesses, so unlike the big city, there is a special shantang to be in charge of various affairs..."

Speaking of this, Xia Sheng felt a shiver in his heart, turned his head, and found that his father was still far away, and he didn't hear what he said, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Shui'er's eyes were full of curiosity, but she didn't ask much, and quickly ran to the next place.

"Ah, this is a candy man, isn't there in Kyoto?"

Shui'er shook his head, his eyes straightened, sniffing the rich sweetness in the air, and swallowed hard.

Xia Sheng felt amused in his heart. He stepped forward and paid a penny very generously to buy a rabbit-like candy man for Shui'er, but never thought that the latter did not express any gratitude after taking it , instead glared at Xia Sheng secretly.

Xia Sheng scratched his head, smiled shyly, and asked, "Would you like to buy one for your lady?"

Shui'er turned her head and left without answering Xia Sheng.

Seeing that Xia Sheng was confused, he muttered to himself, the servant girl of the Ye family is not easy to serve!

However, for the task assigned by his father, Xia Sheng had to bite the bullet and follow again, as if nothing had happened, and continued to try his best to introduce the folk customs of Baima Town to the other party.

However, Xia Sheng was only halfway through when he heard Shui'er suddenly ask.

"what is that?"

Xia Sheng rolled his eyes a hundred times in his heart, thinking that this aunt had finally spoken, but when he raised his head and looked in the direction pointed by Shui'er, he didn't know how to answer.

"That's... Drunk Flower Garden."

Shui'er asked with a simple face: "Drunk Flower Garden? What does it do?"

Xia Sheng was embarrassed, and hesitantly said: "This... there should be in Kyoto too, that is, Hualou."

"Hualou? Is it the place to enjoy flowers? Then Master Xia must go there often?" Shui'er asked reluctantly.

Xia Sheng scolded his mother in his heart, but with a hint of shyness on his face, he smiled and said, "I don't know what it is, but I heard that it costs a lot of money to go in once, so I never went in to see it."

Hearing this, Shui'er said cheerfully: "So, it doesn't matter, my young lady has a lot of money. Since the son has never been there, how about we go in together and see?"

If it weren't for the fact that she was in the public eye at this time, and this Shui'er was Ye Xiao'e's personal maid, Xia Sheng would really like to spit on her face.

What a stupid idea!

Take the eldest lady of the Ye family and his fiancee to the flower building? Just thinking about it, that scene is simply too beautiful...

"Well, say it again, say it again..."

Seeing Xia Sheng's expression of embarrassment, Shui'er suddenly showed a sly smile on his face, and then asked, "Then Master Xia, where are we staying tonight? Are we staying in the Xia Mansion?"

Shui'er took the initiative to change the subject, which made Xia Sheng finally relieved, but never thought that the question asked by the other party made Xia Sheng feel full of malice again.

"My father found a quiet yard for you, just west of White Horse Town."

"Why don't you live with you? Wouldn't it look like we're living together?"

"My home is too small to live in..."

In the end, Xia Sheng had to tell the truth, but his face turned red, as if he could not wait to find a crack to get in.

However, what he didn't expect even more was Shui'er's next sentence.

"Okay! It turns out that you really plan to live with our young lady! Although you are already married, but after all, today is just the first acquaintance, I didn't expect you to have such a shameless idea in your heart! It's really... A... stinky bastard!"

Xia Sheng was suddenly dum
