Chapter 281: Retirement

Because of this precedent, the atmosphere of the family banquet after that was a little dull.

Everyone abides by the habit of "eating without sleeping or speaking" and eats with their heads down.

Several juniors were a little on pins and needles, and Cheng Xu simply stood up and wanted to go to the official room.

Cheng Xu's face was a little ugly.

Cheng Chi glanced at him lightly, called Huaishan in, and instructed him: "You accompany the uncle to the official room, I heard that the official room here in Yuxuan is a little shady, be careful of the moss on the ground." ”

Cheng Xu hurriedly said: "No need, no need." I'll just go myself. ”

Cheng Chi did not speak.

Huaishan waited on the side with low eyebrows, looking like it was useless for you to say anything, the fourth master asked me to follow you, I have to follow you.

Cheng Xu was angry and glared at Huaishan fiercely.

Cheng Wen looked amused and said, "Jiashan, you are not a child, and your fourth uncle is also for your good." Go and go back. Today's last dish is a pot, didn't you like this dish the most? Be careful, come back late, everyone has finished the soup. Then he said to Cheng Chi: "Brother Chi Cong, our family Brother Nuo'er will be engaged in a few days, do you have any other arrangements at home then?" If there is no other arrangement, I want the two masters on the stove to give me two whole tables. Our Nuo Ge'er is engaged, one matchmaker is Master Liu of Meifu, he is now the father-in-law of the prince of Liangguo, and the other is Lin Jiaoyu, both of whom have an old relationship with our family, and they can be regarded as a well-known figure in Jinling City, but they can't neglect the two matchmakers. ”

According to the ceremony, on the day of the engagement, the matchmaker and the Quanfu people should be invited to the house for dinner.

Cheng Chi said with a smile: "You just set the day." No matter what arrangements are made at home, first follow Nuo Ge'er's engagement banquet. ”

When Cheng Wen heard this, he was overjoyed and thanked him again and again.

Cheng Lu frowned when he looked at Cheng Wen's appearance, and couldn't help but say, "Then Master Liu is the matchmaker invited by Wen's younger brother, right?" ”

Master Liu has become infamous in Jinling because of his daughter-in-law, Miss Sun, the third lady.

Cheng Wen and Master Liu have a similar "temper" and can be called friends. Although he felt that Master Liu had done too much in this matter, he thought that the eldest lady of the Liu family was engaged to Zhu Pengju, and he could be regarded as one of the top celebrities in Jinling City, so he didn't think he was angry with Cheng Lu's words, but said with honor: "We have always been close, and this time Nuo Geer got married, so naturally we wanted to ask him to be a matchmaker." He was also very happy! ”

The corners of Cheng Lu's mouth twitched slightly, and he was about to speak, when his son Cheng Zheng suddenly stood up and said, "Dad, I'm going to the official room too." ”

He really can't do anything about him!

No one else spoke, he wanted to stand up.

If you want to lose face, it will also be a shame for the whole Jiuru Lane, the long room and the second room don't speak, what is the beginning of their third room?

Cheng Zheng glanced at his own servant who was serving on the side, signaled him to keep an eye on his father, don't let him cause any trouble, and pulled Cheng Xu, who had been standing there, out of Tingyuxuan.

Cheng Xu struggled in front of everyone, and as soon as he heard Yuxuan, he shook off Cheng Zheng's arm and said, "What are you pulling me out for?" I don't want people to be like five or six years old all the time, and they have to be served by someone in the last official room. After speaking, he looked dissatisfiedly at Huaishan, who followed him out of Tingyuxuan.

Huaishan still lowered his eyebrows, as if he hadn't heard anything, and was silent like a sculpture.

Cheng Zheng smiled and said, "Okay, okay!" If you don't want people to think of you as a five- or six-year-old child, then don't you do this kind of thing that only five- or six-year-olds do? You are frozen there with Uncle Chi Cong like this, is it for adults? ”

Cheng Xu's eyes flashed slightly, and he whispered to Cheng Zheng: "I actually don't want to go to the official room, I just can't stand the atmosphere of listening to Yuxuan, so I came out for a walk." Someone followed, and the trouble died! ”

Cheng Zheng didn't expect Cheng Xu to suddenly talk to himself.

He thought for a moment and said with a smile: "I'm not going to the official room either. As you saw just now, my dad is a straight-tempered guy and has something to say. If I don't take this excuse, maybe my father will say something that offends people. ”

Cheng Xu also saw it.

He pretended to be helpless and sighed, "Forget it, let's sit back outside and go in!" ”

Cheng Zheng bowed: "Okay! I have no objection. ”

The two of them found a secluded stone pier and sat down.

Cheng Zheng asked about Cheng Xu Qiuyu: "Is that "Art Making" really published by Shen Minzhi Shen? ”

"How is that possible?" Cheng Xu said a little heartlessly, "If the "Art Making" is really published by Lord Shen, how could the second uncle not say a word after getting the "Art Making"? This is clearly fake news released by those bookstores in order to sell well. I also asked Brother Cong to remind Uncle Lu euphemistically, so as not to be deceived. ”

Cheng Zheng glanced at Cheng Xu deeply.

People in the ethnography say that Cheng Xuqing is arrogant and disdainful of playing those conspiracies, but now it seems that it may not be right.

At least he didn't say anything just now, misleading Cheng Yi in the second room. I found myself to spread the word about it, slapped Cheng Yi, and established himself for myself, which is very means.

Cheng Xu didn't care.

Since there is an irreconcilable contradiction between the long room and the second room, why is he still concerned about the feelings of the second room?

He hit the face of the second room!

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Cheng Xu smiled and said, "This time I really want to go to the official room." ”

What does it matter if it's real or fake?

Aren't all things in this world true and false?

Cheng Zheng made a gesture of please and said, "Brother Xu Cong, please take care of yourself!" ”

Cheng Xu quietly pointed to Huai Shan, who was standing not far away, and said in a low voice: "I don't know if Brother Zheng Cong can help me lead him away, it's really uncomfortable to be looked at by him like this." ”

Cheng Zheng didn't want to help Cheng Xu carry this black cauldron, he smiled: "How to lead away?" ”

Cheng Xu whispered to him.

Cheng Zheng smiled and nodded.

The two went to the official room.

Huaishan followed not far away, stood still by the bamboo forest outside the official room, and watched them enter the official room with a smile and a smile.

After a while, Cheng Zheng's voice sounded in the official room: "I was originally allowed to participate in today's autumn festival, but I didn't have a bottom in my heart, and Mr. Zhang in the clan also felt that I should study for two more years before I ended." It's still good to be a younger brother Xu Cong, who can read, and has the guidance of Uncle Jing and the second uncle, this time Qiu Yu will definitely be able to be named on the laurel list, and when the time comes, you will have to show me Qiu Yu's article......"

A qiē is a normal look.

Huaishan's eyes were slightly closed.

At the back of the official room, Cheng Xu looked at the silent bamboo forest and couldn't help but show a smug smile.

Since the grandmother is not in a good mood, he, as a grandson, should go and take a look.

This kind of intrigue banquet, don't participate!

Presumably the fourth uncle knew about it, and he wouldn't blame him.

He slipped out of the bamboo forest, turned a corner, and went on the Four Seasons Brocade.

Seeing that he entered the inner courtyard after leaving the Ruyi Gate, someone suddenly appeared in the Ruyi Gate as if he were strolling.

"Uncle Xu, where are you going? Listening to Yuxuan's family banquet is not over yet? That's rude! ”

Cheng Xu couldn't help but curse in his heart.

It turned out to be Huaishan.

How did he find out he was gone so soon?

How's the certificate in the official room?

Where did he come from?

Cheng Xu sneered: "Huaishan, after all, you are just an entourage by the side of the fourth uncle, you still don't care where I go?" ”

Huaishan didn't speak, he approached Cheng Xu in the blink of an eye, reached out and grabbed his belt, he was immediately supported forward by an invisible force, and quickly came out of the Four Seasons Brocade.

Cheng Xu's eyes widened.

He knew that several people around the fourth uncle were very skilled, especially the Qin Zi'an brothers, Da Su's fist and foot kung fu was learned from Qin Ziping.

And this Huaishan looks even more powerful than the powerful Qin Zi'an.

He wanted to shout at Huaishan.

But he could not open his mouth.

I want to stop and not leave.

But he couldn't open his legs.

Cheng Xu couldn't help but scold Huaishan in his heart.

Anyway, Huaishan couldn't hear it, he still looked like he was not dead or alive, and kept "pushing" Cheng Xu to the door of Tingyuxuan, so that the people who listened to Yuxuan noticed Cheng Xu, he let go of Cheng Xu here, and silently retreated to the corner of the small servant's entourage station.

Cheng Xu straightened his clothes, and when he looked up, he saw Cheng Zheng smiling at him embarrassedly.

He has suffered this loss, and presumably Cheng Zheng is not having a good time.

Cheng Xu smiled at Cheng Zheng soothingly, and turned his head to look at Cheng Chi.

Cheng Chi's expression was calm and peaceful, since he didn't talk to Cheng Wen who was talkative next to him, and he didn't talk to Cheng Lu who was talking to him, he just sat there quietly and ate, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him, and he only had food in his eyes.

Inexplicably, Cheng Xu suddenly felt a little discouraged.

Fourth uncle, always so calm and relaxed!

As long as the fourth uncle has a heart, I'm afraid that no matter what he does, he won't be able to escape the palm of the fourth uncle's hand!

Just like when he was a child, every time he skipped school, his fourth uncle found him.

But how did the fourth uncle know that he was going to find Shaojin?

Could it be that he, like his mother, thinks that marrying a girl from the Min family is more important to the future of the Cheng family?

But if a person pins his hopes on another family or a woman, does he still have a future?

Cheng Xu was very distressed.

After returning to his seat and sitting down, Cheng Zheng came over and whispered to him apologetically: "I have been talking to myself there for a long time as you said, and I calculated that you should have walked far before coming out." At that time, Huaishan was no longer there. I vaguely felt that he might have gone to look for you, but I looked around for you and didn't find you, and I was afraid that the elders in the hall would be suspicious, so I came back first. ”

Cheng Xu believed.

No matter how much the fourth uncle teaches him, he will save face for him in front of the people in the other rooms.

After all, he is the eldest son and grandson of the long house, and the future son.

"Thank you, brother." He sincerely thanked Cheng Zheng, "Huaishan didn't embarrass you, right?" ”

"Nope!" He talked about listening to the scene after the two separated, and whispered to Cheng Xu.

Cheng Nuo looked envious.

Brother Xu Cong didn't care when he appeared or where he appeared, everyone liked him so much, there were always people who pulled him to talk and flattered him.

It would be nice if one day he could be like Brother Xu Cong.

He thought about it, turned his elbow on Cheng Yi, who was sitting beside him, and whispered, "Do you have eyebrows about your marriage?" ”

The life of the parents, the words of the matchmaker.

Most people usually don't know which girl they're marrying until they're engaged.

The Cheng family is quite lenient about their children's marriages, and usually tells them in advance who they will marry. Treat the girls open-mindedly, and let the girls see each other before they get married.

Update...... If there is a typo, it can be corrected at noon...... Tears slipped away......
