Chapter Twenty-Five: Eyes but Pearls
Listening to Xizhu's muttering, Xu Wen slowly recalled, and his face suddenly changed, and then he said with a little anger: "What Xu family Xiao Nizi, what do you say again!"
Finally attracted Xu Wen's attention, Xizhu saw that the opportunity was rare and continued to say to Xu Wen:
"You said that I saw those people of the Xu family before all of them looked fierce and miserable, but I saw you, although this dress is like a beggar, embarrassed is a little embarrassed, but if you look closely, it can be regarded as white and tender, with good facial features, by the way, I haven't asked you what is the relationship between you and Miss Xu?"
"Xu ...... Miss Xu?"
"That's right, it's the one who is rumored to be seventeen years old and looks good!"
Hearing Xizhu say this, Xu Wen was stunned for a moment, and the anger in his eyes became more and more obvious, but when the words came to his mouth, he became a little speechless, and he didn't know how to deal with this guy.
"Why are you looking at me, I always thought that the Xu family girl must not look good, she can't get married at the age of seventeen or eighteen, not to mention, there is no matchmaker who has come to the door to propose, maybe she looks too bad, those who don't know think they look good, and those who know don't dare to provoke!"
Seeing that Xu Wen was more into the play, the more alert Xizhu couldn't easily divert this rare opportunity, and began to talk to himself again, thinking that if this guy was the Xu family's own family, then he must have seen the Miss Xu family, although he couldn't see that Nizi in person last time, but if he could know the truth of the rumors through Xu Wen, it would be worth it.
"You...... What nonsense are you talking about!"
I saw Xu Wen hearing Xizhu say this, his mood suddenly became a little strange, and a trace of blush appeared on his face again.
"Alas...... I think my Xizhu Gongzi also believed those nonsense at the beginning, so he thought of sneaking into the Xu Mansion to see Na Nizi, but it's a pity!"
Speaking of this, Xizhu shook his head again, this time he was not pretending, but thinking of the first time he broke into the Xu Mansion, his face began to become indescribable, because it could be said that it was the shadow of his life.
"Nonsense!"
Xu Wen saw that Xizhu was talking about some strange things by himself again, so he stomped his feet and turned his head, ignoring Xizhu anymore.
"You haven't told me how Miss Xu looks like yet, is it the same as my Xizhu boy's guess?"
When Xizhu came back to his senses, he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed when he saw Xu Wen turning his back to him, so he pretended to cough twice.
"Hmph! I'm ...... My young lady looks like a fairy, how can a rough person like you guess!"
Hearing Xizhu ask like this again, Xu Wen still couldn't hold back his dissatisfaction after all.
"Oh, tell me about it. ”
Seeing that Xu Wenguo really couldn't stand the stimulation, he was relieved, and soon Xizhu's whole person's interest was also raised, and he hurriedly asked while the iron was hot;
Xu Wen frowned, but when he turned around again, he saw that Xizhu's face had come over at some point, so close, the face that was still a little dirty looked like a person asking for food, but at this time, the inexplicable desire to learn on his face, if it was placed on the body of a scholar, it would become a good story of a writer.
But in this situation, coupled with the topic discussed by the two, it is really a world of difference.
In a sudden scene, the distance between the two was only a few inches, Xu Wen's face changed again, and his body subconsciously quickly avoided it, quickly widening the distance between the two.
"You!"
Xu Wen just wanted to have a seizure, and suddenly heard a noise outside, someone was coming, and then he heard as if someone was shouting the words "Master is here", Xu Wen and Xizhu were both shocked and quickly stood up from their seats in a little panic.
Not long after, a tall figure appeared at the door of the lobby, followed by the old housekeeper that Xizhu and Xu Wen had just met not long ago.
When the tall man suddenly frowned slightly after seeing Xizhu and Xu Wen, the burly and upright body involuntarily exuded a momentum of not being angry and arrogant, and this scene made Xizhu can't help but shrink back when he sees it.
It seemed that for a moment, there was a trace of instinctive fear in Xizhu's heart.
But on the other hand, when Xu Wen saw this man, his face showed a kind of hesitation, after many years, maybe at this time his mind was trying to recall everything about the person in front of him.
"Sir...... They are the Xu family who claim to be from their own family in Qi County!"
The old housekeeper still looked at Xizhu and Xu Wen with a kind face, and always behaved very calmly, worthy of being the guy in charge of things in a big family.
"You two?"
The man spoke, his tone was slightly hesitant, of course, this person was none other than the master of the General's Mansion - Xu Hanfei, the commander of the border city army!
"Second uncle!"
When Xu Hanfei was still looking at Xu Wen and Xizhu who were standing in the guest hall with some uncertainty, Xu Wen suddenly shouted, and then ran directly towards the other party in Xu Hanfei's still somewhat confused eyes.
"Huh?"
Xu Hanfei hesitated again, thinking that he seemed to have not returned to his home for a long time after coming to his house all these years, but he didn't mention any impression of the sudden arrival of his family, but Xu Wen had already come to Xu Hanfei for a moment.
Xu Wenwen is not tall, but his face is beautiful, but at this time, the guy's demeanor is a little embarrassed, and there are still some tears rolling in his eyes, and before Xu Hanfei can recognize Xu Wen who ran in front of him, Xu Wen suddenly threw himself into Xu Hanfei's arms.
The entire guest hall instantly became silent for a few seconds, and Xu Wen's reaction made everyone present, including Xu Hanfei, a little unresponsive.
Think about a man, although he looks delicate and young, but it is indeed a bit too much to react like this, in anyone's opinion, it is always a little less manly.
"Ahem, ahem!"
At this moment, Xu Hanfei, who was the commander of the border city army, took the lead in coughing twice to break the awkward silence around him, and at this time, Xizhu finally came back to his senses, but he still stared at Xu Wen with his eyes.
Xu Wen also seemed to sense that something was wrong, and carefully left Xu Hanfei's arms and stood in front of Xu Hanfei again.
"You call me second uncle, but you are ......?"
Xu Hanfei asked hesitantly, although he had not been back to his home for many years, he still had an impression of the people in his family in his memory, and he didn't have any impression of such a young man of Xu Wen's age.
However, the more he looked at Xu Wen, the more familiar he felt, and with his intuition, he could be sure that Xu Wen was indeed from his own family.
"Second uncle, don't you recognize me?"
Xu Wen looked at Xu Hanfei's reaction, and then looked at his dress, and then he realized that he was a little reckless, just trying to vent his grievances these days, but forgetting his current identity.
But soon a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes, and then he glanced back at the stunned Xizhu, with a smug look on his face, and then he turned his head to look at Xu Hanfei, who was also a little puzzled, and reached out to take out a jade bead about half the size of a thumb with a hole in the middle from his arms.
"Second uncle, I'm Wen'er!"
Xu Wen said, and then kept blinking at Xu Hanfei, Xu Hanfei was stunned for a moment, but after seeing the bead in Xu Wen's hand, a look of sudden realization suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"Hahaha! Wen'er...... Wen'er!"
What kind of person is Xu Hanfei, when he looked at Xu Wen again, he had already understood what Xu Wen meant, he had such a good nephew since he was a child, eccentric and very likable, but he never thought that he had not seen him for many years, he had grown so old, and he appeared in front of him again, in such a way.
"Oh....... Family...... Hey, hey, it's just a family!"
Seeing Xu Hanfei's sudden laughter, Xizhu couldn't hear the meaning between the two, but was startled by Xu Hanfei's reaction, and then hurriedly laughed, but in fact, he was already a little guilty in his heart at first.
If Xu Wen is talking nonsense, he is not a relative of this general, and he recognizes his relatives indiscriminately, it will inevitably be another toss-up.
But when he was in the world, it was interesting to say, and he thought that he called himself a smart man, but he still hasn't realized that "Wen'er" is also "Wen'er", and "Xu Wen" is also "Xu Wen".
"By the way, Wen'er, who is also from our family?"
Seeing Xizhu standing aside and looking at his uncle and nephew, Xu Hanfei, who had already recognized his family, couldn't help frowning again, thinking that this Qixian family had suffered something, if it was a person from the family, Xu Wen would not say it, since this dress must be deliberate, but Xizhu is different, how to look at it and how embarrassed.
"I ......"
Xizhu was about to speak, but was immediately interrupted by Xu Wen.
"I picked him up halfway!" Xu Wen said;
"Picked up?"
Xu Hanfei was puzzled, but Xizhu was choked in his heart, almost choked to death by this sudden sentence, and secretly thought of you Xu Wen, since he recognized this powerful guy as a relative, he immediately turned his face and refused to recognize people.
However, he was under the roof, and the other party was a legendary big man, so he didn't dare to have a seizure, but he felt as if he had entered a wolf's den.
"Xu Gongzi is joking, we are all from Qi County, we have eaten and slept along the way, relying on each other, sharing joys and sorrows for most of the month, encouraging each other to move forward during the day, and lying together at night, which can be regarded as a friend of life and death!"
Xizhu was a little embarrassed, but with his ability, he naturally wouldn't give in, but he said again and again, secretly still proud of himself.
secretly thought that this Xu Wen was unreliable, and he had to rely on himself at a critical time, if he won the favor of this general, things would be easier to do in the future.
But what Xizhu didn't expect was that after he finished speaking, Xu Wen was indeed staring at him dumbfounded, her face flushed, and even Xu Hanfei frowned, with a thoughtful look in her eyes.
"Ahem!"
Xizhu pretended to cough twice, and Xu Wen came back to her senses all of a sudden, but the next moment, the ending completely exceeded Xizhu's expectations.
"You...... What nonsense are you talking about!Second Uncle!"
Xu Wen's heart was obviously fluctuating when she said this, and listening to the tone of voice, it seemed that she was stimulated by something.
But after Xu Hanfei frowned, and saw his nephew's reaction, he already had a rough idea in his heart, this Xizhu was probably talking nonsense again, and this guy looked down, but he was the kind of flamboyant.
However, he didn't argue with the two, thinking that the two could wait quietly in the lobby before he came, and there was some relationship after all.
"Butler, prepare the wine and food room!"
Xu Hanfei instructed the old housekeeper next to him, and soon, under the arrangement of the old housekeeper, Xu Wen and Xizhu were taken to the back room.
So under the arrangement of the housekeeper, the servants of the General's Mansion were divided into two ends, preparing hot water and clothes on the one hand, and preparing wine and food for the two of them, and Xu Hanfei, as a border city guard, is also a good day on weekdays, but he heard that someone from his family was coming, so he came to meet, and he didn't know where to deal with anything during this gap.
Finally it was time to start the meal, and when the two met again, they couldn't help but be taken aback, Xizhu never expected that this Xu Wen had changed her outfit, and the appearance that was re-revealed after taking care of her body was too handsome, obviously dressed as a man, but it made his heart inexplicably a little more moved.
"You!"
Xizhu was stunned for a moment, staring at Xu Wen, but soon he came back to his senses and said secretly: "Bah, Xizhu, Xizhu, Xizhu, are you stupid!"
"What are you...... Hmph!"
Xu Wen looked disdainful and immediately turned his head, but his heart was not as calm as it seemed.
