Chapter 263: Going to the Banquet
The old general Chu entered the lobby of the mansion with Chu Yi's hand, he hadn't been back here for some years, this old mansion was the first time he won a battle and was rewarded by the first emperor, and now it has been more than 20 years. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It will be dilapidated when it comes back, but the appearance has not changed much, and I think the second child must have come back with his heart, and the house was repaired.
He glanced at his second son, and the cold face had not changed, but the coldness in his eyes seemed to have melted a lot.
"Alas," he sighed, "it's been so long since he's been back, and everything is not bad here."
"Hmm" Chu Yi only snorted and didn't say anything.
"It's okay there, I don't see it, it's not the same as before, this dilapidated house still feels so leaky" Chu Feng led his wife and daughter into the house at this time, and walked as he walked.
"Hmph, what do you know, you didn't have much of a home before, how much can you remember, but you are talking nonsense there" The old general Chu couldn't help choking his eldest son.
Chu Feng said quibly: "Why is my son homeless, my son was very obedient at that time, unlike someone who hooked up with his cousin at a young age."
The old general Chu didn't wait for his son to finish speaking, and shouted there, "Chu Feng, you still don't shut up for me", he glanced at Chu Yi worriedly as he spoke, and then saw that this person didn't react before putting his heart down.
Chu Yi was shocked when he heard this, and he glanced at this person fiercely, but he just looked at it and didn't say anything.
Chu Feng wondered in his heart, how did this kid change his temperament, in the past, he dared to take a knife to cut at him, what is the matter now? He didn't make the slightest move, didn't say anything, didn't even say a word that was provoked, this person looked a little unusual, and it was very unusual, could it be that this person had someone else's woman? If he didn't know, he would definitely send someone to check it well? Although he was engaged, it had nothing to do with the person in the second child's heart.
The old general Chu hurriedly changed the topic there and said: "As soon as I entered the courtyard just now, I thought I was back in the northwest again, why don't you have a maid to serve, why don't you give you the big maid next to me first, and then return me when you find a suitable one."
Chu Yi knew that his father had good intentions, but he didn't want to use it, so he said: "No need, I'm not used to it, by the way, there are few people in this house, and there are even fewer people who will serve people, so when you come back, you can arrange your own meals!"
Chu Feng was reluctant there, and said sarcastically: "Father came back from afar, you just entertained us like this, didn't see that we were still in the house and still covered with frost, you are so impatient, arrange us first?"
Chu Yi said expressionlessly: "I won't, you will go with you!" After that, he turned to General Chu and said: "Father, except for my room, this courtyard is still empty as before, you can all find a house to live in by yourself!
After he said this, he got up and left, not wanting to have any more verbal confrontation with Chu Feng.
Chu Feng was so angry that he pointed at Chu Yi's back and said to the old general Chu: "Father, look at you, do you still have a father like you in his eyes?"
"Shut up, the second child is not such a person, he would not have arranged the house properly, this is no fuss, if you want to take care of this, I will leave it to you!" The old general Chu didn't listen to Chu Feng's words, he stood up from his chair and said to Steward Chu who was in charge:
"Let's go, help me go back to the room I used to live in, I want to go back to the lying meeting, and the matter here will be handed over to you."
"Yes," Chu Steward only the old general's words are from the northwest, he has been following him here, the old general is on the same side, and he is the master of family affairs, so nothing in this mansion can be difficult for him.
In the blink of an eye, only Chu Feng's family was left in the lobby, and his wife Liu was married back by himself, although she was spicy, she never put away her spicy energy in front of the old general Chu and did not dare to have any room for questioning.
At this time, he glanced at Chu Feng beside him and said, "What should we do?" I also have to go back to rest, my bones are tired and scattered after walking for so many days."
Although Chu Feng is out of tune, he is obedient to this wife, not only afraid, but simply scared, just because his wife's fists are particularly hard.
The two fought against each other, and he was not his wife's opponent at all, so over the years, Chu Feng had always been a relatively well-behaved man, even if he accepted Hongshan in Baicheng, he quietly did not dare to tell him.
Later, I don't know who leaked the news, that time he was beaten by his wife Liu when he returned from Baicheng, and he hid in bed for ten days and a half before getting up, so now he easily dare not provoke Liu, this person is doing something wrong, and it is a trivial matter to be prepared.
Now when I hear my wife's words, I don't dare to refute and say, "You go," so I had to smile and say, "You can go back!"
"Okay, then I'll go" Liu walked away with a puff of smoke.
Only then did Chu Feng dare to say a word to his cronies around him, "You go and see if Xiao Gongzi is at home, and tell him that I'm back."
"Yes," said the subordinate next to him.
Chu Feng thought for a while and then remembered something, in that way:
"By the way, I heard that he begged for the outer room, help me prepare some gifts for him, after all, it is rare for this person to sleep with a woman, congratulate him for me, I will visit him tomorrow night"
He and Xiao Yan have been good since they were young, but because their father and Xiao Xiang's positions are different and often opposed, the relationship between the two has not been much in touch over the years.
Now that his father is old, he will no longer go to the court, and he can only come back after being recommended by Xiao Xiang, so he wants to reconcile with Xiao Yan again, after all, if this Xiao Gongzi is followed, he is much better mixed in the capital.
The waiter beside him nodded and left, and Chu Feng got up to find the house he lived in.
He also brought Hong Shan when he came back this time, but with his wife, he never dared to let this concubine enter the door at the same time as him, for fear that he would be returned to him if he suffered, so he asked the people around him to lead Hong Shan directly to find a place to live, and did not meet with the Liu family.
At this time, he wanted to go and see where Hong Shan lived, so that he could lie down.
Liu will have to sleep when he goes back, and he will not notice him.
However, just when everyone found their place of residence to rest, the General's Mansion received another invitation post.
The person who invited it was General Chu and his two sons, and the person who invited it was Xiao Xiangfu.
Chu Yi was the first to get the news, because the guards guarding the door were his people, so he should be notified as soon as possible.
Ah Sijian analyzed this invitation on the side and said: "Young master, you have to go, if you don't go, you will definitely arouse Xiao Xiang's suspicion, so you have to go"
Chu Yi also knew that he was going too, but he kept resisting in his heart and didn't want to go.
What he hates the most is that he has to deal with some things he doesn't like when he goes back to the capital.
finally nodded, "Okay, I'll go, Xiao Xiang invited his father at this time, undoubtedly to win over the relationship, and the other one is also for me to see, I'll take a look to see if this person can do that." ”
"Young master, do you think that Xiao Xiang will mention your marriage to Miss Xiao at the banquet?" Ah Si is reminding his young master to get ready, he also thinks about what people say, and when he sees it, he will say something else impulsively.
Chu Yi also guessed something, Xiao Xiang is used to pretending, where to know what to say, at this time in front of his father will definitely say this, in order to show his sincerity to his father, after all, his father holds no less things in the northwest than him, and it will be twice the result with half the effort to gain his father's trust.
Thinking of this, he snorted lightly and said: "This old fox is full of calculations, don't worry, tonight he will say that I will promise him first, and I will tell nonsense."
"It's the young master, and my subordinates are afraid that you will forget it all your life"
"Don't worry, don't be like a woman, you go with me tonight, won't you remind me of anything?"
Ah Si's mouth twitched, and he wanted to reply: "Your old family will really lift me up, and I won't remind you again and again if I want to speak well, you don't listen to anyone's words at the critical moment."
Chu Yi also knew Xi's temper, but at this time, he was tied up in the capital, so naturally he would not act as recklessly as before.
On this evening, it was still early before the banquet, and the carriages from the Xiao Mansion to invite people had arrived.
Chu Yi didn't expect Xiao Xiang to do things so carefully, and he didn't leak a drop of water, so that people couldn't find any fault, so if he wanted to think about it, he would send someone over to inform him, and send someone to invite him, which he didn't expect at all.
Chu Feng was the happiest, Xiao Xiangfu came over to invite him and his father, this is what makes him look the most, at least he can take the relationship with Xiao Yan to the next level, even if the two of them can't recover from the previous relationship, but after tonight, it will be stronger than now.
Several people got into the carriage one after another, and when the veteran Chu left, he deliberately called Chu Yi over and said, "You will go to Xiao Xiang's Mansion in a while, you will talk less, just listen to me."
"Yes, father" Chu Yi's heart warmed when he heard his father's words, his father was worried about his safety, so he told him again and again.
The old general Chu said: "I don't know how Xiao Xiang's daughter is, if you really agree to this family business, I will be the master for you, but if you don't agree with this family business, my father will definitely help you try his best to return."
Chu Yi said with a soothing face: "No, father, if Xiao Xiang wants to ask a question about marriage, I will answer, you just need to listen to it on the side, this marriage is a holy decree, and it has nothing to do with me."
The old general Chu sighed in his heart, thinking that his son must not have put down the child of Morou, or he would not be so resistant to this marriage, and he didn't know when the child would be able to open this heart, alas, he sighed in his heart, this matter is not urgent, and everything can only be natural.
The carriage dragged a few people to Xiao Xiang's mansion, and before the car from a distance came close, Chu Yi heard Ah Si on the outside whisper:
"Young master, Xiao Xiang actually came out to greet him in person"
Chu Yi was shocked in his heart, it seems that it is not unreasonable for this person to be able to be the prime minister, and he can bend to this place, which is really a rare person in the world.
When the carriage arrived in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, before the three of General Chu's mansions got off the car, they listened to Xiao Xiangdao:
"Oh, old general, it's good that I can't see you for more than ten years!" As he spoke, this man asked the little guy to lift the curtain of the old general Chu's car.
"Xiao Xiangye has been a long time before, are you okay?" Old General Chu also replied unconsciously.
I haven't seen this person for more than dozens of years, and I feel that this person is also a lot older, not as young as before, and even he himself has become half an old woman, not to mention someone else!
He pulled his face and let people help him get out of the carriage, these are living in Beixi, his old cold legs are getting heavier and heavier, and he can't even walk the road without support.
Xiao Xiang was taken aback when he saw it and said, "Old General Chu has suffered in the northwest all these years, your leg is ......."
"Oh, the old problem is out of the way," the old general said naturally, without any regret or discomfort.
Xiao Xiang smiled, "The old general has suffered for Dachang, please accept the old decay"
The old general Chu smiled, "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, your country has suffered no less than me, we have each other"
As he spoke, he symbolically floated Xiao Xiang, and saw that Xiao Xiang didn't bow down with his gesture, straightened up and said, "Then the old general, let's talk in the house together."
After speaking, he turned back again: "Chu Feng, Chu Yi, you two should also enter the house quickly! Yan Er has been waiting for the two of you inside for more than a while."
I don't know why Xiao Yan didn't come out to greet him, maybe he felt that it was enough to have his father come out.
Chu Feng was excited behind him, and he strode forward without caring about Chu Yi.
Chu Yi didn't care when he saw this person running to the front, and he still walked smoothly behind.
When the group entered the inside, they saw Xiao Xiang and a pair of children walking from the opposite side to greet them.
Xiao Yan and Xiao Xue'er greeted the old general Chu one after another, and then saluted Chu Yi and Chu Feng, and then stepped aside and sat down.
Xiao Xue'er didn't know if it was deliberately arranged or what, so she sat next to Chu Yi.
The two were so close that they could see each other's subtle faces at the distance of a square table.
Chu Yi was sitting precariously, looking ahead, he was not only indifferent to Xiao Xue'er, but he was simply a little annoying.
I only heard this person say coquettishly: "How is General Chu lately?"
"It's okay," Chu Yi replied without changing his face.
"Has General Chu come out to look for the city these days?"
"Well, yes," Chu Yi replied again.
Xiao Xue'er asked two sentences in a row, but she got a two-word answer, her face was a little displeased, and she frowned lightly and said:
"Has General Chu always been so precious about words like gold?"
When Chu Yi heard this, he turned his head and looked at it and replied, "I don't think so, it's okay."
"Doesn't General Chu think it's boring to talk like this?"
"It's okay, I don't think so" Chu Yi actually replied with the same words,
"You,...... It's really "Xiao Xue'er was extremely unhappy in her heart, that someone spoke like this, although she had known that this was the case, but she still had illusions about this person, thinking that this General Chu could change a little, so that the life of the two of them after marriage could be maintained, but she didn't expect this person to be this character, and the speech was still this emphasis, how could she stand this kind of person in the future.
Chu Yi was indeed perfunctory to Xiao Xue'er, because he was listening to his father and Xiao Xiang with his ears pricked up, and he was also chatting with Xiao Yan and Chu Feng.
