On the trip to the south, the third young master and the fourth young master didn't even hear the news in advance, and the people below had already packed their bags. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info waited for them to know that they would have to leave Kyoto with their eldest sister in a few days, and they would go south to pick tea after a long bumpy journey on the road.

Straight stuffy.

Going south for such a big thing, the eldest sister didn't know how to say hello to them and inform them, and by the way, she asked them if they were happy, so she ordered the people under her to prepare their bags together, so domineering, it was really depressing.

Xiao Chuheng naturally complained about this depressing thing, but how useful is it to complain to his own tyrannical eldest sister. However, he attracted an eye knife, and then threw out a sentence "What is the amount of discussion, even if I really discuss it with you, you feel that you have a choice", and then ignored the grievances of the two and drove the two out of the study directly.

The eldest sister does things, how can the younger brother control it, even if she is a little bored in her heart, she can only admit it obediently. Stuffy, of course, a little depressed, but under this depression, I still have some expectations.

Go south.

Although the road is bumpy, who knows if there will be interesting things along the way. has been in Kyoto for more than half a year, and the eldest sister is staring at herself like a thief, Xiao Churui has not been bored for half a year, and now he is happy to be able to go out of Kyoto. As for Xiao Chuheng, when he heard that the eldest sister asked them to go to Yuanzhou to choose tea together, his first thought had nothing to do with buying tea at all.

Jiangnan Water Town, it is said that the women raised in the water town are like water and ink, virtuous and gentle, and the most tender. Just thinking about the stunning woman raised in the far continent in the south of the Yangtze River, his heart is almost halfway there, and complaining is just a homeopathic complaint, don't let your own sister see the expectation in her heart. In fact, Xiao Chuheng is still looking forward to it in his heart.

The eldest lady traveled with the three young masters, this is not a trivial matter, and the Xiao Mansion has been busy all these days. Especially the practice of stewardship, he is personally involved in everything, and he is afraid that he will not expect to be tired of his own lady when the time comes.

Uncle Lian's thoughts, Rao is Xiao Chuxuan also felt helpless when she looked at it, such a tool, big and small, she was even about to doubt it, when she set off, would she find that the entire Xiao family was cocked up by Uncle Lian and set off with her.

Uncle Lian felt sorry for her in his heart, and Xiao Chuxuan knew it, so as long as she could make Uncle Lian feel at ease, even if the preparations were indeed a little too much, she didn't say anything, just smiled helplessly and then continued to be busy with business.

The head of the Xiao family is no more than ordinary people, and he has more things at hand, on the contrary, the young masters who accompanied him have nothing to do. Xiao Chuning pestered Ye Zhiqiu, wanting to learn more kung fu from him, but as for Chu Heng and Chu Rui, they were even more idle.

Since the eldest sister poked out from the firefly grass this time not only went to the Yuanzhou Tea Garden, but also turned around to Cangteng, and also asked Uncle Lian to prepare a big gift, ready to thank Cangteng for his praise for the fifth brother over the years, the two of them couldn't sit still.

Prepare a gift for the head of Cangteng, the share prepared by Uncle Lian is the eldest sister's, as for the two of them, as Chu Ning's brother, he can't thank the head of Cangteng for his years of cultivation and kindness. was not idle in the house at the moment, but the two of them went to the street together, thinking about what to buy, so as to thank Cangteng for taking care of Chu Ning in the past few years.

This street turned down, and he saw a lot along the way, but he couldn't choose the one he wanted, and Chu Rui looked at the third brother and said, "Third brother, the eldest sister has prepared a generous gift for Cang Teng." The third and fourth brothers, who are the fifth brothers, are rare to go to Cangteng, so we shouldn't go empty-handed. ”

"This hand, of course, can't be empty." The girl who raised her eyebrows and then sold flowers to the side was smiling, and her amorous appearance directly provoked the girl's face to be red, and she bowed her head in shame and hurriedly left with the flower basket. The girl left, and Xiao Chuheng didn't care, but looked at the women walking around.

The women in the world are all pleasing to the eye, even if you can't come forward to laugh, it's good to take a look.

Every time he came out with the third brother, his eyes were directly glued to the girl. Seriously, if it weren't for that handsome face and those eyes that can really hook the soul, just his unscrupulousness along the way, Bao Buqi would have asked someone to twist the official office a long time ago.

The third brother's temperament is afraid that it will be difficult to change in this life, and he is used to it, so he didn't see it, Chu Rui said: "Since you can't be empty-handed, then the third brother said, what should we bring?" ”

"Prepare gifts, it's always just some flowers, rouge and gouache, by the way, the fourth brother, is the head of Cangteng a man or a woman?"

"Man, and he's an old man." seems to be worried that the third brother didn't hear clearly, and he didn't forget to add another sentence at the end. As soon as he heard that the head of Cangteng was an old man, Xiao Chuheng immediately lost interest, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then looked unruly, Xiao Chuheng said: "If it's a man, don't ask me, I'm not interested in preparing gifts for men." ”

"It's not for you to prepare some serious etiquette, what kind of pretentiousness." In a word, the Tao is also sarcastic, these words just fell Xiao Chuheng was about to answer, but who knew that one of them didn't pay attention, and the fourth brother disappeared. The side was empty, and then there was no one, and when Chu Heng came back to his senses, he found the fourth brother squatting on the side of the street, not knowing what he was looking at.

Okay, I walked up and looked at Chu Rui looking at a few snakes trapped in a cage on the street. Looking at the snake twisted together in the cage, Xiao Chuheng showed disgust on his face. Disgusted, he took half a step back, pulled away, and asked, "What are you doing looking at the thing?" ”

"Third brother, you said that we bought these snakes as a gift to the head of Cangteng? How is it? ”

"These snakes." As soon as Chu Rui's words fell, Chu Heng's expression changed again, and his expression was strange as he cruised back and forth between the fourth brother and the snake, and said, "Do you plan to buy this snake for people to make up for their bodies, or do you plan to stuff people on the bed?" ”

Replenish the body.

As far as he knows about Xiao Churui, he definitely didn't have this kindness, as for putting it on someone's bed. Not to mention whether the fourth brother can enter the room of the head of Cangteng, even if he really has the ability to go in, he bought this snake and brought it to the carriage to accompany him all the way. Just thinking about that scene, he couldn't help but feel furious in his heart. Shaking his head at the moment and then straightening his face, Xiao Chuheng said.

"Fourth brother, the third brother advises you not to use these thoughts, take this snake all the way, if the eldest sister finds out, the eldest sister will kill you."

"The eldest sister doesn't look like she's afraid of these."

"This kind of gambling thing, the third brother advises you not to try."

It is good to buy these snakes and the head of Cangteng, but when I think about carrying these snakes for a few days, if the eldest sister finds out, let alone the snakes, maybe I will ask the eldest sister to throw them out of the carriage together. Thinking about it like this, he always felt that the risk was a bit big, and Xiao Churui could only sigh in the end and give up this very interesting gift for him.

Abandoned this thought and stood up, and just as he got up, he heard a familiar voice.

"This is not Xiao Sangongzi and Xiao Sigongzi."

As soon as the familiar voice entered their ears, the two of them immediately understood who this person was, and immediately smiled on their faces, looking at the person who came from the line, Chu Heng replied with his head bowed: "Young Master Han." ”

At this time, it was Hanwha, who the two met by chance and later became confidants.

Han Gongzi.

He smiled slightly, and then looked at Xiao Churui still staring at the snake coiled in the cage with reluctance, Han Hua asked, "The fourth prince seems to be very fond of these pythons?" ”

"I like it, I thought that if I bought it, it would be good to be a congratulatory gift, but I just had this thought, but I couldn't do it."

"Congratulatory gifts?"

The python in this cage is generally bought by wealthy people for food, and the congratulatory gift is the first time Hanwha has heard of it, and immediately showed a little uncertainty on his face, Hanwha said: "It is worthy of the fourth son, and the congratulatory gift is also chic, but I don't know that the fourth prince This congratulatory gift is going to be bought and given to someone who knows each other?" ”

Chu Heng smiled and said: "Chic, the fourth brother's mind is probably only Han Gongzi feels chic, if this is for others to see, I am afraid that this kid will only feel crazy." ”

As soon as the words fell, the person had already glanced at Chu Rui on the side, and continued: "Why buy such a thing and give it to an acquaintance?" I haven't seen him for a while, but Han Gongzi likes jokes more and more. Such a living creature, don't say that it is accepted, it is just taken out after entering someone's mansion, and it is enough for people to beat it out. ”

The python thing is a seeping thing, so it is a congratulatory gift, but only people like Xiao Churui can think of it. Xiao Chuheng's words, the fourth brother was too lazy to listen, but Han Hua, after hearing it, said: "The courtesy is light and affectionate, even every gift is carefully prepared, if you really buy it, this should be the thought of the fourth son, and if you think that person will not really blow the fourth son out." ”

The people under the words have already laughed, and these words sound like they are speaking for Xiao Churui, but the more they taste, the more they make people feel that the taste of ridicule is quite heavy, and Xiao Churui is a little unhappy immediately. looked at it directly, rolled his eyes, and then said.

"The courtesy is light and affectionate, Han Gongzi's words are on point, although the young master also feels that as long as the friendship arrives, all the etiquette is the young master's heart. But this python thing, after all, is slippery, even if you buy it, it's not easy to carry. Han Gongzi kept saying that friendship is better than courtesy, and he should have prepared a lot of light courtesy. That being the case, why don't you help the young master think of something personal, lest the young master come to the door empty-handed and lose his manners. ”

It's not about himself, but Xiao Churui said that it was none of his business, and he had to abandon his mind at the moment. When he raised his eyebrows, he lowered his eyes and pondered, and then asked with a smile: "Since the fourth prince has spoken, he should do his best, but I don't know who the fourth prince gave this gift to?" ”

"Of course, it's a gift to a great benefactor who is kind to my Xiao family."

"Benefactor?" Chu Rui's words fell, Han Hua was slightly suspicious, and after doubting, Chu Heng smiled and told Chu Ning's matter. To make a long story short, the kung fu of a few words was also cleared, and the smile on his lips was even worse, obviously he was a man of peerless elegance, and there was a little bit of bad intentions in this completely unfolded smile. Raising his eyebrows again, Hanwha said, "It was originally going to be given to the master of the fifth prince." ”

"Hey, Han Gongzi's words are wrong, he should be the former master. The fifth brother of my family is now annoying the head of Cangteng, if Han Gongzi makes the fifth brother listen to this, I am sure to ask him to call out. ”

For the head of the firmament, Xiao Chuning couldn't wait to remove the bones and bite the meat, how could he admit that that person was his master. Chu Rui's words made Han Hua completely understand what kind of existence this Cangteng head was in the Xiao family's heart at the moment, and immediately smiled, and then responded.

"Thanks to the reminder of the fourth son, the next time you enter the house, if you accidentally mention it in front of the fifth prince, I am afraid that it will really annoy the fifth prince and let the fifth prince burst out."

"Sticks? Han Gongzi really doesn't know my family's demon king of the world, if he really provokes him, it is not something that can be solved by a random stick, but a chaotic sword. ”

Xiao Chuning's temper is extremely violent, if he is really angry, how can he still have the leisure to find a stick, and directly pull out the sword in his hand to save trouble. The Xiao family's daughters and five sons are all strange people, which made Hanwha laugh. smiled and shook it, and then thought about it, until there was really a way. With her eyebrows raised and her eyes shining, Hanwha said.

"So, it's a good gift here."

"What kind of congratulatory gift?" After hearing that Hanwha had a thought, the two of them immediately became interested and made inquiries, and after the inquiry, Hanwha said: "Although he is a former master, the ancients have a cloud, one day is a teacher and a lifetime father, which is the former and the elder." As an elder, you can't choose those mediocre things when it comes to congratulatory gifts. The fourth prince just said that although the python is good, it is a pity that it is too slippery, and it is necessary to bother to carry it on the road. In the downstream of Sichuan, I have heard that someone has compared the snake to the green dragon, this dragon? It can't be given, but the thing on the side of the dragon seems to me to be a great gift. ”

The thing on the side of the snake? Because of Hanwha's words, the two of them subconsciously looked towards that place, it was okay not to look at it, and they immediately laughed when they saw it. Especially Chu Rui, he was so happy that his eyes were shining, and he praised and said: "This thing is very good, very good, and it is very satisfying to me." ”

The thing Hanwha was referring to was indeed very good, and if it was really a congratulatory gift, there was no need to say much in words, just looking at this congratulatory gift was enough to make the head of Cangteng angry.

For the two of them, the side things were no longer in their eyes at this time, and Chu Rui immediately ordered Xiao Huan to take the silver and buy the thing. Seeing Chu Rui carrying the cage and teasing the things in the cage, Han Hua said, "I specially wasted my mind to prepare a congratulatory gift, it seems that the two sons are very interested in the former master of the fifth son." ”

"Attentive? I don't care about the matter of the fifth brother, but I just went up by the way, and I felt that it was not good to be empty-handed, so I took the trouble to think about it. After Chu Rui said, Chu Heng smiled and continued: "We really don't care, if we want to say that we really care, it is my sister who is called Shangxin." ”

"Miss Xiao?"

"yes." Nodding, Chu Heng said: "My elder sister specially instructed the steward to prepare a congratulatory gift on the surface, and I plan to thank the head of Cangteng for his cultivation of the fifth brother in the past few years." ”

"On the surface?" These four words were strange, repeated softly and then understood their meaning, Hanwha said: "If it is on the surface, then there is also secretly?" ”

"Secretly, of course there is, but no one can guess what kind of mind is in this secret."

Xiao Churui's mind is hard enough to guess, but compared with his own parents, he is still a little inferior.

"I see." Clearly, Han Hua said, "It seems that Miss Xiao really feels sorry for the fifth son, but she has specially wasted her mind to thank Cangteng." ”

"Specially?" Surprised, and then laughing, Chu Rui said: "My eldest sister is indeed very hurt by the fifth brother, but she is not going to leave Beijing specifically for this matter. ”

"Oh, so you have something else to do this time."

"Exactly." nodded, and said the matter of the southward journey by the way, but it was only a general statement, and as for the specific things, it should be clear that this is an important matter at home, so I did not say it in detail.

The Xiao family's southward purchase this time is the most important, as for Cangteng, but by the way, Hanwha immediately knew a little in his heart. Knowing this, he then said, "It turns out that you are going south in the next few days. ”

"Han Gongzi's words, doesn't he also have the intention of going south?"

"Exactly." Nodding, Hanwha said, "My family has been interested in buying and selling jade recently, and I heard that Jiangnan Xiangyu is very beautiful, so I thought I would set off to the south in the next few days to have a look." It's a coincidence that I didn't think about it, and the two sons also want to go south. ”

"How can such a coincidence?"

If people have fate, everything is a coincidence, and Han Hua can talk about it, and the congratulatory gifts he planned for them this time are very thoughtful, so Chu Rui immediately opened his mouth and invited them to go south together. Although he refused, it was difficult to refuse the warmth of the two, and Hanwha finally agreed.

Walking with people is interesting, this is not yet south, and the son of the Xiao family already has some expectations in his heart.
