Chapter 358: Dishonest
Xu Tianci was holding Rong You's book in his hand, and when he came in, he saw that he was quite serious, but as soon as he saw him come in, he immediately put down the book and looked at him, looked at him seriously, ignored his jokes, and then said, "I'm here to talk to you." ”
Rong You's hands didn't stop, and he cleaned up the things that had been on the table before leaving.
His study has always not allowed people to come in at will, so he cleaned up the study except for Qingshan who would sometimes help, and he did it himself, of course, people like Xu Tianci couldn't stop him, but fortunately, he had his own rules, and he wouldn't look at Rongyou's things at will, and said that his study would let you in casually.
"Say." After sorting out the books and finding what he was looking for, Rong You got up again and walked out, as he spoke.
Xu Tianci also got up to follow, knowing that he was going to eat in the dining room at this time, so he didn't speak, planning to sit down later.
Not long after leaving, Xu Tianci came over again, and it was really like I said before, this time I came to have dinner with Rong You.
When the food was put on the table, the people who were waiting went down, and the brothers had always eaten by themselves, and they didn't need a bunch of girls to follow the cloth on the side.
Rong You was silent, Xu Tianci also raised his chopsticks, and he didn't drop his chopsticks for a long time, as if he couldn't decide which dish to start with.
"I said, do we have to go find Tanabata?" Xu Tianci finally sighed, put down his chopsticks, looked at Rong You, who was quietly drinking soup, and said.
Rong You slowly drank a small bowl of soup, and then reached out and pushed Xu Tianci's soup bowl towards him, and said, "Drink soup." ”
Xu Tianci was helpless. I had to reach out and pick up the bowl and drink it slowly. Then he smiled and said, "Not bad." The fish I caught by myself still tastes good, and I will go with you next time, I haven't fished for a long time. ”
Rong You raised his eyes when he heard this, and didn't ask him how he knew that this fish was caught by himself, with the strength of his cousin's good letter, he was afraid that he would have asked from Qingshan a long time ago, but he didn't say that this fish was actually caught by Qixi Festival, as for what he caught with his own hands. I'm afraid that this time has already entered the mouth of Tanabata.
"Not hungry?" Rong You picked up the chopsticks and said a word before picking up the vegetables.
"Not hungry." Xu Tianci shook his head, but still said, "Forget it, eat first, and then talk after eating." ”
Rong You had no opinion, ate slowly, looked at the table of exquisite dishes, and suddenly remembered the steaming beef noodles eaten in the small shop in the county, and of course, the table full of various snacks. Compared to this table of food prepared in peace, he couldn't really say which tasted better.
Both are well-born. In fact, I don't talk when I eat in private, but every time I go to the Qixi shop and a group of people to eat hot pot, I don't feel unaccustomed, but I feel that it's not bad to be so comfortable.
In the middle, Rongyou drank another bowl of fish soup, and served him a bowl despite Xu Tianci's wishes, but the two of them didn't eat much, and then asked someone to withdraw.
Waving his hand to call his subordinates down, Xu Tianci leaned back lazily, thought about it and said slowly: "The matter of Qixi Festival, if it is true, it will inevitably attract the attention of the Yuan family, and the Yuan family will not dare to provoke us, but we have never interfered in these things, if we really want to take care of it, I think we have to say hello in advance, so that the family will also know." ”
"You're okay to do?" Hearing Xu Tianci say this, Rong You was not surprised, but just looked up at him and hit the nail on the head.
"yes." Xu Tianci generously admitted, isn't there just nothing to do, or he will have nothing to do in his head, and he will think about what to do in the future, obviously he knows that it is too early to talk about this.
"Go on." Rong You nodded, letting him continue.
"The Lin family wants to say hello, after all, we have contacts on weekdays, and we have a good relationship with the Zhao family brothers and sisters......" Xu Tianci touched his chin when he said this, feeling a little funny, at that time, he had known the Zhao family brothers and sisters in Fucheng for a long time, but they were only familiar with it in this town because of Qixi Festival.
"Well, let's talk about it." Rong You gently blew the tea in the cup and said slowly.
"Don't say any more, I remember you've always liked to prepare in advance, didn't you?" Xu Tianci disagreed, and at the same time was also very curious, looking at Rong Youdao.
Rong You looked at him when he heard this, and then said, "Don't worry, wait for Qixi to come to me." ”
Xu Tianci was stunned, and only patted his forehead and smiled after a while: "But no, am I stupid or what, I was in a hurry when I didn't have anything, well, let's talk about it when Qixi comes over." ”
Glancing at his cousin as he spoke, in fact, he didn't blame him for being a little anxious this time, but he was brought by his cousin, and it was the same thing that he didn't know anything about the eight characters, and Brother You took it alone and didn't get the meaning of Qixi before he ordered someone to investigate, and he seemed to be extremely confident in the crops of the Qixi family, and he was unconsciously affected.
Of course, he doesn't admit that he is too boring, he wants to turn back to eleven and is not available, so it is better to leave this matter to him, even if he needs to go to the city, it doesn't matter, anyway, he has a lot of free time.
"By the way, you just told me so, will you blame you for Qixi Festival?" Xu Tianci laughed to himself for a long time, and suddenly looked at Rong You and asked.
"No, it won't." Rong You replied lightly.
"You're sure." Xu Tianci said with a smile, and compared a few sword postures back and forth with both hands, and then said, "Originally, when I went back just now, I was still thinking about whether to let people go to see the crops of the Qixi family, you know that at this time, they have already grown almost the same, and you can know if you see it, but depending on what you mean, it is better to wait for Qixi to take the initiative to find us." ”
It is said to be tribute rice, but in fact, sometimes the food in the palace is not necessarily the best, and they all know how the Yuan family does it, if there is really the best and don't want to send it away, what if the rain does not adjust the grain in which year? Isn't it to make the royal family eat less than the rice in the past? When the time comes, someone with a heart will catch it and say that a person like the Yuan family will not make such a mistake.
So in fact, who the really good rice is eaten for, it's really impossible to say, just like Xu Tianci thinks, or the rice that his Xu family eats may be better than the one in the palace, after all, their Xu family's reputation in the north, the Yuan family can get it even if it is hidden, so it is not difficult for him to distinguish the quality of rice.
"No, you don't." Rong You raised his eyes and looked ahead, he didn't know what he was looking at, and said lightly, "Qixi will come back soon, and I'll talk about it when she comes." ”
"Really? What did she say? Will it come to you when it comes? Xu Tianci immediately asked, and said, "Do you say that it is possible that Qixi is really afraid of trouble, so you decided to give up this?" ”
Rong You retracted his gaze and picked up the teacup, and said first: "No." ”
Then he drank tea slowly, and he didn't mean to say anything, Xu Tianci didn't know what he was thinking, and the two brothers just sat there without squeaking.
In fact, I really can't tell if the two of them stayed here and had nothing to do, but after listening to Qixi words, I really took this matter to heart, just like Rong You thought of Huangshang Gongmi and the like when he first heard it, no one knows better than them how important food is in the north.
For various reasons, the most important thing is that they are too cold here, and there is only one crop a year, and it is easy to produce sperm when something is scarce, just like the Yuan family's tribute rice.
Originally, the Yuan family could stand out among several major families, and they should not have put a small farmer like the Qixi family in their eyes, but the sons of Rong You and Xu Tianci, who were born in a family, naturally knew a little more about the Yuan family, which was also a big family.
I don't know how many people from the Yuan family are on this, saying that it is good to monitor, in short, they will not allow better rice than the Yuan family to appear, the matter of tribute rice is like a bowl of porridge, in the case of only one bowl of porridge, especially the bowl of porridge is still made of gold carvings and jade, they will definitely not have anyone to take a piece of the pie, let alone allow people to snatch the rice bowl.
Therefore, if it is true that the food in the Qixi family has risen, and a small farmer like theirs has come, then there will only be two ends after attracting the attention of the Yuan family.
First, it was suppressed, and their family's rice disappeared before it could really attract people's attention, and it was impossible to say that they couldn't even keep the grange, after all, the Yuan family has always acted like this.
The second is to transfer, even the Yuan family must be careful and careful about these rice, strictly speaking, they are not allowed to appear better than the current rice, but they are not allowed to appear in other people's homes, so if the Qixi family is interested, willing to sell this rice and this seedling this grange, and willing to keep their mouths shut, then they will not treat the Qixi family badly.
Of course, this is without the intervention of the Xu family, and now they still feel that Qixi is full of unknowns, and the Yuan family, who doesn't know anything, must not know what direction this matter will develop because of the two young masters who came to the town unexpectedly.
"By the way, when are we going back?" Xu Tianci came back to his senses first, holding a cup of tea and asked lazily.
If it weren't for the fact that he had been bored, he wouldn't have grabbed one thing and wouldn't let go, of course, it wasn't that he was tired of living in this town, if he went back to the capital for a few days, he would even miss the peaceful days in this town, but the situation at home obviously wouldn't allow them to live here all the time, and their identity wouldn't allow it.
"I don't know." Yung You stood up and walked to the window to look outside.
Behind the courtyard where he lived was a small garden, and the whole house was so beautiful that he and Xu Tianci lived in such a good view that even the old man didn't rob them.
"You say, it's not honest for us to live here, and we still meddle in these things at will......" Xu Tianci said and didn't continue, but laughed. (To be continued......)
