Chapter 40: Xue Cheng

The old man did not answer his words, but told Liu Yun his name: "My name is Xue Cheng." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

Liu Yun said, "You are also surnamed Xue?"

Xue Cheng said angrily: "I am not only surnamed Xue, but also surnamed Xue for decades!" There was pride in his angry tone, proud of Xue, who had been surnamed Xue for decades.

Liu Yundao: "I am a friend of Xue Tengjiang and Xue Erye. ”

Xue Cheng said: "I know. ”

Liu Yun didn't understand, so he had to ask, "Do you have a grudge against the Xue family?"

Xue Cheng said: "No." ”

"I thought you had a grudge against the Xue family, that's why you were so unkind to me. Since there is no hatred, why are you so unfriendly to me," Liu Yun thought to himself.

Xue Cheng saw that Liu Yun was still a little puzzled, and said, "I have served the master faithfully in the Xue family for decades. ”

The more Xue Cheng's words were spoken, the more confused Liu Yun became.

Seeing that the confusion on Liu Yun's face was getting stronger and stronger, Xue Cheng also became more and more angry, and said, "I only left the Xue family a few months ago. ”

Liu Yun finally understood a little and said, "Oh, it was Xue Tengjiang who drove you out?"

Xue Cheng was amused by Liu Yun's words, and stared at Liu Yun for a long time, as if he was looking at a fool.

Liu Yun has been seen in various eyes in his life, including admiration, envy, approval, hatred, and disobedience...... Liu Yun has encountered these visions, or has become accustomed to them.

It was the first time that someone looked at him like a fool, which made Liu Yun feel uncomfortable all over.

Xue Cheng said: "After Young Master Xue Wuying was framed and left, I also left the Xue family. ”

"Hey, no wonder you're looking at it like that. Liu Yun was very depressed in his heart, and he had been thinking about competing with the three Duanmu brothers at first, but he didn't turn the corner for a while.

Xue Cheng said: "They framed the young master and forced him to leave the Xue family, and his life and death are still unknown." ”

Liu Yun said: "You hate all the Xue family, even if they are guests of the Xue family?" thought to himself: "No wonder your business is so bad, there are a few people in Hanyang City who have nothing to do with the Xue family." ”

Xue Cheng said: "As long as you have something to do with the Xue family, you are not a good person!" This old man's thoughts were a little extreme, he forgot that there were many people who had a relationship with the Xue family before!

Liu Yundao: "It was Xue Tengjiang who harmed the young master of your family?"

Xue Cheng said: "Who else would it be if it wasn't him?"

Liu Yun asked, "What do you say?"

Xue Cheng said: "As soon as the young master dies, such a big family business will not become his." ”

Liu Yun nodded as he listened.

Xue Cheng then said: "He said that the young master wanted to do something wrong to a maid, and he married this maid again in just a few months. Because he was too anxious and excited, he took a heavy breath and said: "He must have bought this maid to frame the young master, and promised to marry her after the matter is completed, otherwise he wouldn't marry the maid so soon." ”

Liu Yun said: "Who did you listen to these things?"

Xue Cheng's eyes widened, and he said, "Everyone can think of such a simple thing, but others can't say it." ”

Liu Yun probably understood, this was the old man of the Xue family's thoughts, he thought that Xue Wuying was framed, and the person who framed him was Xue Tengjiang, but after Xue Wuying's accident, the person in charge of the Xue family was Xue Tengjiang, and when he left the Xue family, as long as he had a little relationship with the current Xue family, he didn't like it.

Liu Yundao: "Do you think your young master would never do such a thing?"

Xue Cheng said: "Of course, the young master was grown up by me, and I know his personality best, except for the sword, he is not interested in other things." Speaking of the young master, Xue Cheng's face was full of pride, he had already regarded Xue Wuying as his son, so Xue Wuying was a perfect child in his eyes.

Liu Yundao: "Your young master was framed, do you have any evidence?"

Xue Cheng hesitated for a moment, and wanted to say something but didn't say it: "No." ”

However, he didn't hide it very well, and Liu Yun saw it, "This old man must know something, but he won't tell me." Liu Yun thought in his heart.

Seeing that the old man didn't want to say anything, Liu Yun changed the topic and said, "After your young master left, have you ever looked for him?"

Xue Cheng said: "I've looked for it, but I can't find it." ”

Liu Yundao: "He came to look for you?"

Xue Cheng smiled coldly and said, "Even if you come to me, you won't tell you." ”

Liu Yundao: "Do you want to know where your young master is now?"

Xue Cheng hurriedly asked, "Do you have any news about my young master?"

Liu Yundao: "If you want to know the news of your young master, go to Chengjia Village, ten miles outside the city, to wait for me tonight." ”

Xue Cheng looked at Liu Yun and seemed to have made a lot of determination, and said, "Okay, I will definitely go." ”

Liu Yun said: "You don't have to worry, I won't harm you." ”

Xue Cheng said: "I'm an old man, I don't have a few days to live, and I'm afraid that you will harm me!" Although he was not afraid, his voice trembled a little. Seeing that Liu Yun turned around to leave, he hurriedly shouted, "You haven't paid for the meal yet!"

Liu Yun smiled, didn't say anything, took out a piece of broken silver and put it on the table, turned around and left.

Liu Yun returned to Xue's house, shortly after noon.

Xue Tengjiang didn't accompany the bride, but basking in the sun in the courtyard, holding a cup of freshly brewed tea in his hand. There was a hint of laziness on his face, and a satisfied smile with enjoyment.

Seeing Xue Tengjiang like this, it was difficult for Liu Yun to connect him with the word house arrest. He looks like a big man who is lying in his yard with his eyes closed after eating.

Seeing Liu Yun, Xue Tengjiang was very happy, hurriedly sat up straight, and ordered someone to make a new pot of tea.

Liu Yun sat down and chatted with Xue Tengjiang.

Xue Tengjiang first asked Liu Yun if he had a good time in the past few days and whether he could have a good time.

Liu Yun said that it was okay, and when he said that, Liu Yun said that he went to the back garden of the Xue family, "I went to the old man Cai Hua once that day, and I have been thinking about it for a few days, and I really want to go and enjoy the various flowers in the garden again, I don't know if it's okay?"

Xue Tengjiang looked at Xue Fu, the housekeeper on the side, and said, "Okay, of course." ”

Liu Yunxi smiled and said, "How about going now?"

Xue Tengjiang said: "The housekeeper leads the way." ”

Xue Fu bowed and said, "Yes." The front led the way and brought the two to the Listening Rain Pavilion.

After sitting for a while, Liu Yun said, "Second Master Xue, can you let the others out, I'll wait here and enjoy it quietly." ”

Xue Fu went down very reluctantly, left Tingyu Pavilion, and hurried out, and as soon as he arrived at the gate of the back garden, he met Cai Hua, who rushed over after hearing the news. Xue Fu just whispered a few words and left.

Cai Hua came to Tingyu Pavilion a few feet away, and saw Liu Yun and Xue Tengjiang sniffing the fragrance of flowers with their eyes closed, and their intoxicated expressions were faintly visible on their faces.

Cai Hua muttered secretly in his heart: "Could it be that the two of them are really here to enjoy the flowers?" and walked into the Tingyu Pavilion in a few steps, and the steps were extremely light, which did not alarm the two.

Liu Yundao: "This garden is filled with all kinds of flowers, it really feels like being in a fairyland!"

Xue Tengjiang nodded and said, "Being in it, you can indeed forget the troubles of the world. ”

Liu Yun said: "If only I had such a garden!" When he opened his eyes, he saw Cai Hua on the side, and he was a little surprised, and said, "When did the old man come?"

Cai Hua said: "I heard that Brother Liu is back and wants to invite you to drink two cups, so I chased you to Tingyu Pavilion." ”

Liu Yun said happily: "Could it be that the old man has found any good wine?"

Cai Hua said: "It is two altars of bamboo leaves for more than 30 years. ”

Liu Yun said: "This is a rare good wine, I must ask for a few glasses to drink." ”

Cai Hua said: "Good wine is only interesting to drink with someone like Brother Liu." ”

Half of the altar of bamboo Yeqing was already in his stomach, but Cai Hua looked at Liu Yun, it seemed that he had something to say but couldn't say it.

Cai Hua's expression was all seen by Liu Yun, but he just didn't say it first, just praised how good, pure, and fragrant this wine was.

"Ahem" Cai Hua coughed twice, Liu Yun obviously saw that he had something to say, but he didn't say anything, which made him hate it so much that he had to say to himself: "Liu Daxia, there is one thing I don't understand very well." ”

Liu Yun said with a smile: "What the old man doesn't understand, I'm afraid I won't understand it very well." ”

Cai Hua smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm not saying that my brother must know, just ask." ”

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"I heard that Xue Wuying is back, I don't know if you saw him?" Cai Hua carefully observed Liu Yun's face as he spoke.

When Liu Yun heard that Xue Wuying was back, he looked surprised and said, "Xue Wuying is back? ”

Cai Hua said: "Today, my brother went out all morning, I thought you saw Xue Wuying, but I didn't expect you to see him either." "Even though he said that, he couldn't believe it all, and everyone could see it.

Liu Yun said: "I just went out for a casual walk this morning, but I met a person from the Xue family. ”

"People from the Xue family?"

"But it's not Xue Wuying, it's an old servant of the Xue family, called Xue Cheng. ”

"Xue Cheng, is there such a person, did he say a few months ago that he resigned from his job and returned to his hometown because of something at home?"

Liu Yun said in his heart: "I quit my job and went back to my hometown, obviously you drove people out, and you are still pretending to be stupid here." But he said: "He didn't mention this, but said that now he is doing a small business, and his life is still okay." ”

Cai Hua said: "I said why didn't he come back, it turned out that he was doing some small business." As long as you can get by, it's the same everywhere. ”

"Yes, that's what he said himself. ”

Cai Hua said again: "I thought that my brother saw Xue Wuying, that would be too good, just find him back and explain it clearly, and we don't need to look around, who would have thought that it was just wishful thinking on the part of an old man like me." ”

Liu Yundao: "Who did you hear that Xue Wuying is back?"

Cai Hua said: "A subordinate saw a person's back in the city in the morning that was very similar to Xue Wuying, and it was possible that he was wrong. ”
