Chapter Eighty-Four: Old Knowledge

"Brother Xu, it's really you!"

Before Brother Xiang could speak, the young woman had already hurried over, looking excited.

"When did you come to the capital? Why don't you come to me? She asked.

Shopkeeper Wu coughed lightly, took a few steps back with a bit of teasing, and the maidservant also smiled and looked at Xu Maoxiu and the woman.

"Just here, just here." Xu Maoxiu said, taking a step back and looking at the man who was still by the door, "What a coincidence, I actually met, and I said to inquire about you." ”

"It's really you, Brother Xu." The young man smiled in surprise, walked over a few steps, and reached out to grab Xu Maoxiu's arm, "Why are you here?" It's really that since you're here, why don't you go to the house and sit down. ”

He said with a bit of grumbling.

"yes, yes." The young woman nodded again and again, looking at Xu Maoxiu, her expression became more and more excited, and she was a little stunned, "Brother Xu, you are thinner than before, is it that the northwest is too bitter?" Then don't go, stay in the capital. ”

The servant girl could hardly hold back her laughter, and Banqin hit her twice with her hand in the back.

Xu Maoxiu was even more embarrassed and restrained.

"Ah, yes." He replied vaguely, busily diverting the subject, "You guys, you guys are here to eat." ”

The young man smiled.

"If you don't come here to eat, what are you going to do?" He laughed, but it was a bit far-fetched, "Oh, of course, not necessarily. ”

He spoke and looked at Xu Maoxiu, Xu Maoxiu was able to accompany Cheng Jianniang to shoot arrows, so he changed into ordinary green cloth clothes and cloth shoes, to know that Lu Dao was in the immortal residence. Even a hospitable acquaintance. They are all well dressed. At first glance, he looks like a small worker who can't get on the table.

"Did you find a job here?" The man asked.

Xu Maoxiu nodded.

"Yes, yes." He said.

"You're the only one? Brother Jiang Lin, what about them? The young man asked with some excitement.

"Ah, they're in the capital, too, but they're not here." Xu Maoxiu said.

"Don't talk about that." The young woman dragged the man away, looked at Xu Maoxiu and smiled, "If you have anything to say at home, my father also misses you, and he will be happy to see it." ”

Xu Maoxiu was even more embarrassed. The response is.

"Okay, I'll go when I'm done." He said.

"What are you busy with, what are you doing or not, it's important to go to the house, with my father here, find a better thing to do." The young man said with a smirk.

Shopkeeper Wu really couldn't stand it anymore and coughed lightly.

Only then did the young couple see the person next to them, and it was okay to see the shopkeeper Wu, but he was a common rich man in Beijing, and they couldn't help but be stunned when they saw Cheng Jianniang.

The fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl wore a plain skirt and fell to the ground with a long light. There were no other ornaments on his body, but only this one. It makes people feel sparkling.

She stood there motionless and even expressionless, but the young couple immediately understood that this woman must have come from everyone, or the seemingly inconspicuous but luxurious robe, or the innate nobility from the inside out.

This is a guest who came to the fairy house.

The two couldn't help but take a step back, and then looked at Xu Maoxiu more clearly in their hearts.

I didn't even know the guest, relying on this body, I guess I can be a meat stool waiting for the nobles to get on the horse.

"Go and get the passenger on the bus, we'll wait for you." The young man said with a little apology and a little smugness.

Xu Maoxiu was about to answer, but he breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to leave, but was stopped by the young woman.

"Brother Xu." Her expression was a little excited, and a little sad, "You are a good man, how can you..."

Speaking of this, he looked at the shopkeeper Wu.

"We're not going to do this kind of errand." She said, took out a handful of money from her money bag and handed it over, "Husband, you can find someone else." ”

Wu shopkeeper Ha Luha smiled.

"I'm afraid I can't do this money." He said.

Xu Maoxiu was even more embarrassed.

"Dong family lady, don't use it, don't use it." He said, stretched out his hand and pushed the shopkeeper Wu and walked forward.

"You don't have to join in the fun." He whispered.

Shopkeeper Wu couldn't help but smile and turned around, and Cheng Jianniang followed with her maidservant.

When he went out, Xu Maoxiu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Come, boy, wait for the lady to get in the car, and give you more reward." Shopkeeper Wu said with a stiff face.

Xu Maoxiu laughed.

The maidservant behind him was already giggling.

"It's a brother I used to know when I was back home." Xu Maoxiu said, looking at Cheng Jianniang and Shopkeeper Wu to explain.

Cheng Jianniang nodded and got into the car without speaking.

"I think it's the little lady I knew before..."

The voice of the handmaid laughed in the car.

Xu Maoxiu's face turned red, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Shopkeeper Wu was also smiling.

"I also think it's the little lady I knew before..."He nodded and smiled when he saw Xu Maoxiu looking over.

"Go to work." Xu Maoxiu said with a straight face, "I don't want this month's salary?" ”

Wu shopkeeper laughed.

"Boss, my salary is not paid monthly." He stretched out his hand and patted Xu Maoxiu's shoulder and whispered, "Did you forget to see the old man?" ”

Before he could finish speaking, footsteps came from behind him.

"The little lady you knew before... Oh no, here comes the brothers. The shopkeeper Wu didn't reply and chuckled again, and without waiting for Xu Maoxiu to reply, he stood a few steps away and walked away.

Xu Maoxiu sighed and was about to follow.

"Brother Xu."

The female voice called.

Xu Maoxiu stopped, turned to look at the young couple who were walking one after the other.

"Let's go, let's go home now." The young woman said.

"I, I still have some things, let's go later." Xu Maoxiu said.

"What's the matter?" The young man said, walking over slowly, "Third brother, don't be angry with us. ”

As soon as his words fell, he heard a roar behind him.

"Xiang Seven!"

The three men at the door were startled and all looked back.

Xu Bangmao stood inside, staring at them wide-eyed.

"You guy..."Xu Bangmao shouted with a glare, and rushed over with his hand outstretched.

Xu Maoxiu took a few steps and stretched out his hand to stop him. Waist power. Hold him firm.

"Talking about the past is going to get you into trouble." He whispered.

The word trouble is very intimidating. Xu Bangmao's face was flushed, he coughed violently twice, and swallowed the rest of his words.

"Mallet brothers." The young woman shouted for joy, "You are here too." ”

Xu Bangmao coughed and nodded, waving at her.

"That's great, didn't you say that Brother Jiang Lin and they are all here too?" The young woman said, "Then call them all and go to the house together." ”

As he spoke, he glared at the young man. "What are you doing in a daze? Go and hail a horse. ”

"No, we're all busy, let's go when we have time." Xu Bangmao said in a dumb voice.

The young woman looked at them, and then at the young man.

"Brother Xu, you still have a relationship with us, right?" She said, her expression was a little gloomy, and she lowered her head and turned around, "I'm so happy to see you, you, forgive me." Well, I'll go first. ”

"Not really. The lady of the Dong family. Xu Maoxiu hurriedly said, "We're just afraid of inconvenience." ”

The young woman who turned around turned sharply again, and her face was full of smiles again.

"There's no inconvenience." She took a step forward and said, looking at Xu Maoxiu, "I know that Brother Xu won't be separated from us." ”

Xu Maoxiu smiled a little awkwardly, and looked to the side out of the corner of his eye.

Standing behind the woman, he was as quiet as a non-existent man, with a blank face.

"Are you crazy?" Fan Jianglin glared and shouted, "Why should we go to their house?" ”

At this time, it is the time for the guests to disperse and everyone to eat.

In the room, because of Xu Maoxiu's arrival, the seven brothers sat in groups, with wine and food.

Xu Maoxiu ate with a bowl and didn't speak.

"He's not crazy." Xu Bangmao poked a vegetable with chopsticks, and said hatefully, "People pity the fragrance and cherish the jade." ”

Xu Maoxiu paused the bowl.

"It's rare that you can still say a word." He glared at Xu Bangmao and said, "Why can't you remember anything else?" ”

The brothers laughed.

"Alright, alright." Fan Jianglin waved his hand and said.

Everyone couldn't help laughing and went on to eat.

"The old lady of the Dong family is a good person." Fan Jianglin said, "But, but the key is to Xiang Qi..."

"Yes, big brother, you didn't see it, Xiang Qi's eyes could eat the third brother at that time." Xu Bangmao said.

"Little Lady Dong's eyes are estimated to be able to eat the third brother." A brother held up chopsticks and laughed.

The room burst into laughter again.

"Alright." Xu Maoxiu shouted.

Everyone lowered their heads and couldn't help laughing.

"I know all of this." Xu Maoxiu took a deep breath and said.

"Zhilu Dao, you still agree?" Fan Jianglin said, frowning, "Third child, you are good at everything, you are knowledgeable, even if you are too knowledgeable, it is not good, you are too face-saving."

"After all, the master of the Dong family treated us well at the beginning." Xu Maoxiu said, "It's just that he doesn't know the way, but now that he knows the way, let's not go and see each other, it's really unreasonable." ”

Fan Jianglin also sighed.

"If it hadn't happened, we wouldn't have gone long ago." He said, "Now let's go, Xiang Qi is the most small-minded, I am afraid that their husband and wife will have a quarrel, but they will not be able to live with the master of the Dong family." ”

Xu Maoxiu was silent for a moment.

"Just go and see you, I'll make it clear to Master Dong, I think he can understand us." He said, "What else do you say?" Hide? The capital is said to be big and big, and small is small, where to hide? Hiding around is a variety of misunderstandings, but it's not good, it's better to talk about it directly. ”

The brothers nodded.

"If you say that, it's fine." Xu Maoxiu said, while picking up the bowl again, "Come and eat, don't worry about it." ”

"Yes, yes." Several brothers also followed and said, "What's the matter, we already knew Master Dong, and we knew each other earlier than Xiang Qi, why can't we hide from seeing Master Dong because of him?" ”

The atmosphere in the room came alive.

"Prepare some gifts."

"The best!"

"It's just that it's more than the money that Xiang Qi sent us in the first place"

Fan Jianglin shook his head, paused his chopsticks and began to eat.

If you say it, it's fine, right? (To be continued......)
