Chapter 142: Important
Xia Yarong really didn't expect Yue Feiyun's attitude towards herself to be so cold, and when she thought about it, he was born and died on the battlefield, and his personality was naturally colder, but she believed that this was only on the surface, her father once said that because he saw too much and lost, he wanted to cherish me instead.
Thinking of this, she smiled and owed a smile: "The grace of Major General Yue Yarong is beyond repayment, tomorrow I want to make a few small snacks to express my gratitude, and I have come to ask the Major General what flavor he likes?" ”
Yue Feiyun said lightly: "I rarely eat dim sum, you don't have to worry about it." As for taking them in, it's completely up to Wei Han and Chen'er, so thank them if you want to. ”
Although the smile on Xia Yarong's face was deliberately put on, she couldn't hold back after hearing these words, she bit her lip: "Wei Gongzi said that there is a shortage of manpower in the house now, if the young general doesn't dislike it, let me be the servant girl first, right?" "She never takes things lightly, and she's confident because someone is willing to go to work for her.
Yue Feiyun said: "You are a guest, don't blame me for not greeting me well, I am very comforted, how can I let you be a slave?" Besides, I like to be quiet, and I always have no one around to serve me. It's getting late, go back and rest. ”
Xia Yarong touched her nose, watched Yue Feiyun bury her head in reading again, and quietly retreated.
The moonlight is like water, but her heart is like a fire burning with anger! This Yue Feiyun really didn't understand the situation, she tore off a few flowers and leaves, tore them and threw them on the ground, and secretly said in her heart: "I won't let go." Then he flicked his sleeves and walked towards Yan Zixuan, with a graceful gait as if he had come. While walking, he fantasized about how happy it would be for Yue Feiyun to fall under his skirt one day.
Xia Chen had already had dinner at this time, and several people chatted while drinking tea. Cen Shaoze said: "Wei Han." The king of the sea has been taking you around again in the past two days? ”
Wei Han said: "It's strange to say, since he came back from Bo'en Temple on the day of the fight, he hasn't gone out." ”
Cen Shaoyou said with a smile: "Could it be that this little prince has participated in Zen and enlightenment?" ”
Wei Han stretched out his legs and leaned his head on the back of the chair: "Impossible!" He didn't leave the house. But quite a few people came in. ”
"Oh? Who are they? Cen Shaoze is more sensitive to this.
Wei Han smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, they're all women." Speaking of this, he snorted lightly: "I said before that it would be very annoying if there were more women around me, but now I can't stop eating marrow and knowing the taste." ”
"Poof!" Xia Chen squirted out a mouthful of tea.
Cen Shaoze hurriedly asked: "Are you drinking slowly, are you choking?" ”
Xia Chen shook his hand: "No, it's just a little hot." In the past, as a woman, she rarely heard men talk about women in person, and of course, women talk about men behind their backs, and there is a gap between men and what men can imagine.
Cen Shaoyou said: "Wei Han." How are the peace talks going? ”
Wei Han shrugged his shoulders: "The people below are constantly running around exchanging folding books, and no one can decide to discuss it, just wait for the official meeting in the hall tomorrow."
Cen Shaoyou said: "Have you heard that there are any differences?" ”
Wei Han sat up straight abruptly. As if remembering something: "Yesterday, King Hailing asked Wu Shu to personally send the seal into the palace and present it to the emperor, I don't know if he made any special requests." ”
Cen Shaoyou said: "Sooner or later, it will be announced to the public, why hide it, is it a private matter or a sensitive issue?" ”
Wei Han grinned: "I suspect that I want a woman again." ”
Xia Chen rolled his eyelids: "Let's talk." I am tired. She was too lazy to listen.
Cen Shaoze hurriedly said: "Then you should hurry back to the room to rest." ”
Flowing silver moonlight. The charming night, Xia Chen's mood is not as quiet as this scenery, she has planned for so long, if it is smooth tomorrow, her goal of coming to Anyang on this trip is at least half achieved.
After breakfast the next day, she left through the back door of Cen Mansion and went straight to a tavern across the street, of course, she didn't come to eat and drink. The shopkeeper here and Meng Huwei can be regarded as friends of life and death, and she and Meng Huwei made an appointment to meet here in the next few days.
The shopkeeper's surname is Liu. He is not very old, but he has a gentle smile on his face that is not handsome but very attractive. Yesterday, I heard from Meng Huwei that the shopkeeper Liu's father died early, he had already taken over this tavern, and it was running very well, and he had just married a beautiful wife not long ago.
Shopkeeper Liu saw her and hurriedly greeted her: "Xia Gongzi is here, Meng Fei hasn't come over yet, you can go to the back room and sit for a while." ”
Xia Chen nodded: "It's troublesome." ”
Shopkeeper Liu said repeatedly: "What's the trouble with this little thing, Mr. Xia is too polite." ”
Xia Chen waited left and right, but after half an hour, he still didn't see the shadow of Meng Guard, thinking that this guy wouldn't have been hit and had another act of suicide, right?
At this time, Shopkeeper Liu walked in with a plate of fruit and pushed the door: "Young Master Xia, Meng Fei has always been punctual, there should be something to delay if he doesn't come, you eat some fruit first." ”
Xia Chen smiled slightly: "Thank you." By the way, Shopkeeper Liu, how long have you known Meng Huwei? ”
Shopkeeper Liu thought for a while: "It's been three years. ”
Xia Chen said: "Who else is there in his family besides his mother?" ”
Shopkeeper Liu shook his head: "I heard that I should have a younger sister, but I died when I was three years old." ”
Xia Chen chatted casually with Shopkeeper Liu for a while, and he also knew more about Meng Huwei, judging from what he did and Shopkeeper Liu's evaluation, this person values faith and righteousness, and is quite hard-working and hard-working, how can he fall into a relationship like that?
Just as he was thinking, the door was pushed open again, and Guard Meng stepped in. Shopkeeper Liu and Xia Chen were stunned at the same time when they saw his appearance at this time, and Shopkeeper Liu said in surprise: "Why is your face so bad?" Isn't Mo sick? And how you are dressed like this, I almost don't recognize it. ”
Meng Huwei coughed a few times: "It didn't get in the way if I had a little cold last night, as for this dress, it was Xia Gongzi's arrangement." ”
Xia Chen pursed his mouth: "Well, that's the case, it's more convenient for this." "Although he was asked to dress up as a coachman, he was not required to dress like the car owners in the market! Is this man too serious? It's still too old-fashioned.
Shopkeeper Liu is not a good person, so he owes himself and says, "I'll go to the front first, and you guys will talk slowly." ”
Xia Chen waited for the footsteps of Shopkeeper Liu to be heard before he said to Meng Guard: "Sit down." ”
Meng Huwei said: "I've figured it out. I can't give Yarong the life she wants, so let her do what she wants. ”
Xia Chen glanced at him: "What do you mean by that?" ”
Meng Huwei said: "I ...... I don't want to pursue anything anymore. ”
Xia Chen held his chin with one hand and looked directly into his eyes: "I know you're sad. I don't want to touch that kind of heartache anymore, but you don't want to find out, because you still stubbornly keep a glimmer of hope in your heart, and you are thinking that if you can be rich and powerful one day, then Xia Yarong will come back to you, right? "Comparing her heart to her heart, when she had a crush on Yan Shiming, she knew that it would be fruitless. I know that I am deceiving myself, but I keep saying to myself in my heart that as long as I meet his standards. Maybe.
Meng Huwei said bitterly: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really couldn't believe that there was a person like you in the world, as if he could see through other people's hearts." And since you understand the struggle in my heart, you should not want me to destroy all my good memories and hopes in a short period of time. ”
Xia Chen nodded slightly: "When feelings and reason conflict." Feelings tend to prevail. When you went to see the Sun family yesterday. How's it going? ”
Meng Huwei said: "Isn't that what it is? You guessed that, right? ”
Xia Chen said: "You already know that the Sun family is just using you, but do you think that Xia Yarong is not completely ruthless to you, but forced to make a living?" ”
Meng Huwei sighed: "You can say that, but Yarong personally told me that she didn't want to marry, and she didn't want to marry me because I was a poor person and couldn't afford to support her." ”
Xia Chen raised his eyebrows: "But the more she says this, the more you think she has a hard time, and you yourself are really useless." ”
"Yes. I'm useless. Meng Huwei gritted his teeth and said.
Xia Chen said helplessly: "I really don't know what to say about you, but you have already received my money." The groom still has to be a little bit, right? ”
Meng Huwei hesitated for a moment: "Okay." He really didn't want Xia Yarong anymore, but deep down he longed to see her.
Xia Chen got up and said, "I still have something to go back to Cen Mansion first, if you have something to do, just go and wait for me before evening." "Wei Han has business on business, it can't be too early.
In the evening, it can also be said that it was just close to evening, Wei Han came over. Xia Chen asked him to ride a horse and take him to the tavern, change into a carriage and go to Yue's Mansion together.
When he was about to reach the gate, Xia Chen looked and saw that there was no one on the street, and said, "Brother Wei, you go over and knock on the door first, and then ask the doorman to open the door in the east corner, so that I can park the carriage in the carriage room." ”
I heard that Xia Feiyang had never been out of Yanzixuan, and Sun and Xia Yarong had just prepared for dinner, so the three of them came to Yanzixuan together.
When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Xia Chen tugged at Wei Han's sleeve: "Brother Wei, you go and talk to them first as I just said, and I'll go in later." ”
Wei Han shrugged his shoulders: "You, you are really naughty enough, I hope they won't be scared." ”
Xia Chen squinted and smiled: "Life is always interesting with more frightens and surprises." ”
Wei Han breathed a long sigh of relief: "I'm in." ”
"Let's go."
As soon as Wei Han stepped into the courtyard with his front feet, Xia Chen jumped on the wall, because there was a tree blocking it, and he was not afraid of being seen.
The weather is hot, and the light in the house will be very dim at this time, but lighting candles will not have much effect, so Xia Yarong and Sun are sitting at the stone table in the courtyard to eat, which is really good, otherwise she will have to touch the courtyard. Although this courtyard is now only lived by their family of three, it is still easy to be bumped into when they go in, especially Meng Escort may not go to eavesdrop with him, but now here, even if he doesn't want to listen, he will hear a lot.
However, she found that Sun and Xia Yarong seemed to be almost finished, why didn't Xia Feiyang eat with them? Out? Or did it not come out at all?
At this time, Xia Yarong had already seen Wei Han, and hurriedly got up and said, "Wei Gongzi, are you here?" Have you had dinner? ”
Wei Han said: "Miss Xia and Mrs. Xia are really good at choosing places, and I actually feel hungry." ”
Xia Chen pursed his lips when he heard this, this guy has always been very thick-skinned, is this obviously asking people to keep him for dinner.
Xia Yarong was overjoyed: "I didn't know that Wei Gongzi would come, this coarse tea and light rice Wei Gongzi must not be able to eat, so I will go and fry two dishes." ”
Sun said, "Young Master Wei, please take a seat." ”
Wei Han said: "Then I'm welcome, it's just ......"
"Wei Gongzi likes to eat whatever he wants, just ask him, if he doesn't have it at home, I'll let Yarong buy it." Sun's attitude was extremely courteous.
Wei Han said: "The two of you misunderstood, I am not very picky about what I eat, and I also have a soft spot for home-cooked dishes." ”
Xia Yarong asked, "What does Wei Gongzi mean?" ”
Wei Han said: "I said before that I wanted to find Chen'er back, but I broke my promise. ”
Sun's smile became a little unnatural: "Wei Gongzi is so busy, there is no need to trouble us, I'll let Yarong find it when I go back." ”
Wei Han said: "Actually, I went to look for it again just now, and this time even the people from Cen Mansion don't know where he went." ”
Xia Yarong said: "Don't even the people in Cen Mansion know? Didn't Chen'er leave a word when she left? ”
Wei Han sighed: "It's strange here, he used to say hello in advance where he was going, at least Yueniang would know, and this time Yueniang only said that she went out to meet a friend and would be back soon, but it's been a day and a night." ”
Sun said: "Chen'er grew up in the countryside since he was a child, and he is used to being unrestrained, I heard that he has a lot of friends, which friend did he stay with?" ”
Wei Han said: "Madame doesn't know, Chen'er's friends and Cen Gongzi almost all know each other, Cen Gongzi inquired one by one today, and they all said that they hadn't seen Chen'er." ”
Xia Yarong exclaimed: "Chen'er shouldn't have met any bad guys?" Something happened, right? ”
Sun's "ouch" said: "How is this good, I, I am a woman's family, and it is inconvenient to go to many places, Wei Gongzi, you must help us inquire." ”
Wei Han said: "Don't worry, I'll go back to the Praetorian Guard Camp tomorrow and ask, and then let them help find it." ”
Sun said: "In this way, you will definitely be able to find Chen'er." After that, he shook his head at his daughter and sighed: "Go and get the dishes and chopsticks, and fry two delicious side dishes." ”
"Ah, I'm worried about Chen'er, I'll go."
After the kitchen was in this courtyard, Xia Yarong's footsteps had reached the gate of the courtyard, and Meng Guard didn't know where to hide for a while, and caught a glimpse of Xia Chen waving to her, jumping to the courtyard wall, hiding in the branches.
At this time, Xia Yarong walked out of the courtyard, covered her lips and smiled lightly as she walked, and at the same time said to herself: "Young Master Wei is much more pleasing than Young General Nayue. ”
Seeing her hurriedly walking in the direction of the kitchen, Guard Meng said in a calm voice, "I said, what's going on between you and these people in the Xia family?" ”
Xia Chen shrugged his shoulders: "People die for money, birds die for food, I am the grandson of the Xia family, so I naturally become a thorn in their side, otherwise how could they let you kill me?" ”
"I see, I've only heard people say you're not ......"
Xia Chen glanced at him: "What else is there to hide?" It's nothing more than listening to what the Sun family and Xia Yarong said, saying that I am not the bloodline of the Xia family, but I want to rob the Xia family's family business, right? ”
"Hmm." (To be continued......) R1292
