Chapter 229: Cross-examination
However, when Su Xi really arrived at the patriarch's mansion, she clearly understood that she had to wait in the hall until the patriarch got up and finished breakfast.
Su Xi couldn't help but glance at the leading guard, "Big brother, I haven't slept enough, and I haven't eaten breakfast yet, is this how you treat guests?
Touching his flat belly, Su Xi said to the leader: "That, can you find me something to eat first, I'm hungry." ”
The leader glanced at Su Xi coldly and ignored it.
Hey, Su Xi has a bad temper.
"The patriarch is looking for me, is it for the story painted on the lantern yesterday? A dignified patriarch, treat strangers, how can you still treat each other with courtesy, I am also half a guest, not to mention that the patriarch still wants to listen to me finish telling the rest of the story, let me tell you, if you don't find me food now, let me eat well, if I see the patriarch later, I will say that you don't take good care of me, abuse me, see whether the patriarch is towards you, or towards me as a guest. ”
Hmph, stinky boy, you are still trying to threaten me with your sesame official, okay, who is afraid of whom, you don't have a good look, who is asking for whom now.
"My old man has lived so big, no matter how big the scene is, no matter how terrible the scene is, have you treated the guests like this? If it spreads, won't it be a shame for you Wu Village? What do you see, I'm talking about you! I brought people here early in the morning, but I ended up waiting here, don't tell me that this is how the patriarch ordered you, so that you brought people here early in the morning, before they woke up. As the patriarch of Wu Village, the patriarch would not do such an impolite thing!"
The more Su Xi said that the anger was getting louder, the higher his voice was, and the more justified he became, even on their territory.
Anger is small, starvation is big, in the end, only when you are full can you have the strength and energy to deal with the patriarch, isn't it?
The leader of the pro-guard finally couldn't listen to it anymore, but he had to admit the truth of Su Xi's words. Indeed, yesterday the patriarch's order was this: Tomorrow bring me the owner of this lantern, and I will see him.
However, in order to show his efficiency, the leader of the pro-guards went out early in the morning to find someone.
It's good now, and it's good to return this old man to anger, isn't it just for a bite to eat? The leader of the guards glanced at his subordinates, and someone went to fetch food from the kitchen for Su Xi.
After all, it is the owner of the lantern summoned by the patriarch himself, and the rest of the people know what this means, which means that the patriarch likes this old man's lantern, that is, in the future, the old man's twenty-eight lanterns will be hung in the mansion.
From another point of view, this old man is indeed a guest.
This is one of the reasons why the leader of the guards did not dare to be arrogant to him, and it is also because the old man is old, the patriarch and the priestess continue to emphasize that they should respect the old man and love the children, which is what the patriarch and the priestess have always pursued, and they are not able to disobey them. Therefore, no matter how angry Su Xi was, he could only endure it.
After eating and drinking, Su Xi saw that there was a soft couch next to her, and there was also a soft couch in addition to the chair in the position where the main seat was sitting, thinking about it, the soft couch on the side was reserved for the guests, and then, she yawned a lot, her face was very sleepy, and asked the leader of the guards: "How long will the patriarch see me?"
The leader of the guards replied sincerely: "It will probably be an hour later." ”
Su Xi really wanted to take a ruler and knock what was going on in the mind of the leader of the pro-guards, when the sky was just polished, he tossed people, and now the sky has been tossed, and the result is that the patriarch is good, his work and rest are very healthy, he sleeps early, he gets up late, and the quality of sleep is sufficient.
Su Xi looked very sleepy and asked the leader of the guards, "What is the name of the young man?"
"Jiang Yihui. The answer was very crisp, but there was no seriousness and indifference when facing Su Xi before. Perhaps, he was "taught" by Su Xi for a long time, and he also realized the importance of Su Xi now and the wrongness of the methods he adopted.
"Jiang Yihui, I'm a person, if I don't sleep enough, it's not okay, if my brain is not clear and I say something that shouldn't be said in front of the patriarch, wouldn't it be a big sin. Since the patriarch will not come until an hour later, then I will squint there for a while, estimating that the patriarch is coming, and you will wake me up again, what do you say?"
Su Xi pointed to the soft couch in the guest bedroom and asked Jiang Yihui.
Jiang Yihui obviously didn't expect Su Xi to ask like this, and was stunned for a moment, Su Xi made it look like he was about to faint, and said weakly: "I don't get enough sleep, I'm easy to talk nonsense." ”
Jiang Yihui had no choice, he didn't object, but he didn't agree explicitly, but his silence had already given Su Xi the possibility of freedom, he walked to the soft couch and lay down, picked up the blanket next to him and wrapped it around his body, turned over, pinned his face inward, and closed his eyes.
To be honest, if it weren't for Jiang Yihui and so many people staring at him, Su Xi would definitely find a way to explore the patriarch's house, and by the way, see where that Abang was.
But there is no way, Su Xi has been stared at to death by Jiang Yihui and other subordinates, and he can't go anywhere, so it is better to honestly recuperate and deal with the upcoming "interrogation" of the patriarch.
Su Xi was indeed a little tired, in the days before the Lantern Festival, he was very busy and nervous, Su Xi had not rested well, so he lay on the soft couch and fell asleep for a long time.
And when she woke up again, it was a little unexpected for Su Xi, Jiang Yihui treated her with extreme respect and respect, at least, the cold face before was gone, and even his tone was so soft.
Su Xi stretched a big waist and asked casually, "Is the patriarch coming?"
Jiang Yihui didn't answer Su Xi's question, but glanced at the front of the center of the hall, then lowered his head and stepped aside.
Su Xi's movement of stretching his waist froze in the air, and an ominous premonition flashed in his heart, and he understood that the respect and respect on Jiang Yihui's face and the softness of his voice were not because of himself, but because of the person who had already entered the hall.
Su Xi turned his head slowly, and saw a middle-aged man sitting in the first place, with handsome facial features, in Wu Village, he was already a handsome man, no, it should be a mature man, it seems, steady and atmospheric, and his whole body does exude the momentum that a person with high authority has.
