Chapter 144 He married into the family and pledged his love to her
Yan family manor.
It was already past eight o'clock in the evening when Yan Xing brought Shi Xi to Yan's house.
After distributing the lunch boxes to Yan Yue, she also returned to the Yan family.
"Thank you for your hard work in getting out tonight."
Shi Xi thanked the two of them, transferred 50,000 yuan to each of them through WeChat, and asked them to go out for a midnight snack later.
"Miss, do you need us to go back and get something you can use?"
Yan Yue asked caringly.
She was also worried that Shi Xi didn't bring anything with her and would not be used to the Yan family's things.
"Don't worry, Xixi feels more comfortable in our house than at home!"
Yan Ran, who had just returned from outside, heard Yan Yue's words and spoke to her on behalf of Shi Xi.
Shi Xi smiled and nodded affirmatively.
It’s late at night, so Xingyue and the others should stop making trouble.
After they left, Yan Ran looked at Shi Xi, who looked a little haggard, and suddenly gave her a mysterious smile:
"It's been a while since you last watched a movie, right? There's a new horror movie coming out. Let's go to the theater. My bestie will stay up all night with you tonight!"
Having said that, without waiting for Shi Xi's consent, she pulled Shi Xi to the basement of the villa.
The Yan family villa has four or five floors, and the basement floor is equipped with a private billiard room, gym, private cinema, etc.
Looking at the table full of snacks, crayfish, and melon seeds that she had already prepared, Shi Xi knew that this girl wanted to watch a horror movie but didn't have the courage, so she used the excuse of him staying at her house to ask him to accompany her.
Even though she saw through Yan Ran's thoughts, Shi Xi still didn't expose her.
She smiled dotingly. Ever since she started supplying goods to Xiao Jingyan, she really hadn't spent much time with Yan Ran.
I'll take advantage of this time to stay at Yan's house and spend some time with her.
"Put the movie on first. I'm going to go out and call those delivery guys."
Now that she has come to the Yan family, the normal daily supply to Xiao Jingyan cannot be stopped.
"Okay, then I'll tell Mom and Dad too, and ask them to try not to come to the manor these few days!"
Yan Ran was also very reliable, fearing that Shi Xi's supply to Gudai would be exposed.
"Thank you!"
Looking at her best friend who always thinks of her, Shi Xi really doesn't know how to thank her.
"Why are you so polite to me?"
Yan Ran chuckled and rolled her eyes at Shi Xi.
She can't stand sentimentality the most.
Shi Xi really didn't mean to be sentimental. She felt that she was unlucky to have met relatives like the Shi family.
But at the same time, she is lucky, as she has friends like Yan Ran, Xiao Jingyan, Qi Ji, Ye Shaoyu, and Sun Zhe around her.
I am so lucky to have them!

The two sisters stayed up until midnight before going upstairs to sleep.
The next morning, the bosses who delivered the goods to Shi Xi delivered the goods to Yan's warehouse.
Shi Xi put on a coat and got up to receive the goods.
What made her happier was that Director Lu had also delivered the batch of ancient cotton-padded clothes that he had previously asked the garment factory to make.
"Miss Shi, take a look at these clothes. Are you satisfied with them?"
Director Lu said this and picked up a sample garment and handed it to Shi Xi.
Shi Xi took a closer look at the workmanship and found that it was indeed almost the same as the one in the video recorded by Xiao Jingyan.
She also happily paid the final payment to Director Lu.
After the cotton-padded clothes were made, she simply asked Director Lu to prepare a batch of materials and then make some cotton shoes for Xiao Jingyan and the others.
After delivering the supplies, she mentioned the matter to Xiao Jingyan again.
"Cotton shoes?!"
Xiao Jingyan was very happy when he saw what Shi Xi meant on the note.
But at the same time, I was happy, but also a little uneasy.
Whether it is the soldiers of the Xiao family army or the people of Lingyao City, they really need cotton shoes.
But he didn't want to keep bothering Shi Xi.
He felt that he owed Shi Xi something that he could never repay in several lifetimes.
But now the city is blocked by heavy snow, and everyone cannot leave Lingyao City and cannot purchase supplies from outside.
Even if they were to make purchases, the emperor had already issued an order within Dayong, forbidding the people of Dayong to sell goods to the people of Lingyao City and the Xiao family army.
The emperor and the court just wanted to let them fend for themselves.
Or, force them to rebel!
It is possible to purchase from Xiangqian Shuo, but the supplies of Qianshuo itself are not abundant.
Some can buy it, but some they don’t have even if they have money.
Xiao Jingyan frowned in embarrassment.
Seeing this, Gu Yehe, who came to report something to him, did not dare to come in. It was he who took the initiative to notice Gu Yehe at the door and called him in.
"Your Highness, the factory will be completed soon, and I have found someone in the army who can come and learn how to make thunder bombs and other hidden weapons."
"We plan to officially start production tomorrow."
There is no problem on Xiao Jingyan's side.
"Okay, I'll give you the power and full responsibility over there. You know what I want, so don't let me down."
Previously, Gu Yehe had designed blueprints for several other hidden weapons.
Such as crossbows, bamboo rifles not propelled by gunpowder, etc.
Xiao Jingyan felt that if this batch of things came out, it would be a substitute for the arms that Shi Xi gave him.
This way, he wouldn't have to ask Shi Xi for those things anymore.
Shi Xi wouldn't have to go through so much trouble and risk her life to help him.
"I know that I will never let His Majesty down."
Gu Yehe bowed and said solemnly.
When he was about to leave, he hesitated at the door for a while.
After thinking about it, he asked with some concern:
"Your Majesty, I noticed you seemed to be entangled in some difficult matter."
"I wonder what it is? Can we, the common people, help you?"
Xiao Jingyan was very pleased to hear his words.
My subordinates are so thoughtful!
With such a good general, he felt that he could really do what Shi Xi asked him to do, conquer the entire north, overthrow Emperor Dayong and seize the imperial power himself.
"It's nothing serious. The fairy just wanted to give us some shoes. I feel that I owe her too much. Even if I work like a slave, I can't repay her."
Xiao Jingyan sighed and quietly expressed his thoughts.
Gu Yehe heard this but smiled disapprovingly:
"Your Majesty is overthinking."
"Why does the Fairy Lady lack cattle and horses?"
"She is helping you, firstly because you are blessed with great fortune; secondly, she is saving all living beings and cannot bear to see them suffer."
Having said this, he cupped his hands and said boldly:
"In my humble opinion, the Fairy Lady herself should also need merit. Your Highness, just accept it calmly."
"After all, I already owe so much, this little bit is not enough!"
He said the last part almost in jest.
He was also afraid of being held accountable by Xiao Jingyan.
However, Xiao Jingyan himself actually holds the same view.
At worst, he would marry into the family and pledge himself to her!
"Alright, my knot has been resolved. This has nothing to do with you. You can go now."
He now had to hurry up and write back to Shi Xi.
After Gu Yehe took his leave, Xiao Jingyan called Zhimo in again and asked him to find a few more embroiderers to record a video of making cotton boots.
After doing all this, he stood up and thought about going out for some exercise.
Hearing the commotion coming from the watchtower, I went there out of curiosity.
A few days ago, the ice sculpture that Wang Tiezhu and others took the initiative to carve for Shi Xi was completed. Today, they are covering the ice sculpture with red cloth, thinking of asking the prince to come over for the unveiling ceremony.
Unexpectedly, just as the red cloth was covered, the prince came strolling over.
"You guys have been acting mysterious for the past few days. What are you doing behind my back?"
"And covered with a red cloth?"
As he spoke, Xiao Jingyan wanted to reach out and pull off the red cloth to see what was underneath.
"You can't reveal it!"
Liu Deyou hurried forward to stop him.
Xiao Jingyan raised his eyebrows, his face filled with anger, and everyone present was frightened.
It was the oldest brother Guo Wen who came to the rescue:
"Your Majesty, this is a surprise for you and the Fairy Queen."
Hearing that he also mentioned Shi Xi, Xiao Jingyan became even more curious.
"Oh?"
"Since it's a surprise for us, why can't I open it and take a look?"
