Seventeen: Outing
There are few people coming to Juxia Valley all year round, the grass and trees are verdant, the streams are juanjuan, and the birds are flocking. Zhong Hao specially instructed the house slaves to come to the valley one day earlier, and near the river, they found an open flat land, and arranged everything they needed for housing and travel, waiting for him to come, so that they could fish with a rod and taste delicious food.
He Ge had always known that Zhong Hao was particular about pomp, but he was still shocked by the battle in the valley.
From a distance, the riverbank was already a low meadow, on which there were more than a dozen tents, large and small. The one in the middle is particularly large and extravagant. There were people coming and going between the tents, and it seemed that there were no less than a hundred.
He Ge looked at the exaggerated battle, then glanced at Zhong Hao up and down with his head sideways, and said in disbelief: "This is what you call an 'outing'?" ”
Zhong Hao shook the jade bone fan, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a calm smile, and nodded and said, "Exactly." ”
He Ge still couldn't accept it, and squeezed out a sentence between his teeth: "So many people, accompanying you on an 'outing'?" ”
Zhong Hao still took it for granted: "That's right." Fu raised his eyebrows again and chuckled: "Don't be so uninformed, you look at Ke Duo calmly." ”
He Ge turned his head, and sure enough, he saw Gongzi Ke, who was calm and breezy, enjoying the undulating mountains in the distance on the riverbank like a leisurely stroll.
"Besides, these people are all doing their own jobs, and no one can be missing." Zhong Hao crossed his fingers and continued with a serious face: "Fire-burners, water-pickers, quilt-makers, combing hair, and so on, are all indispensable. The scenery in the valley is very beautiful, no wine and no tea, isn't it wasted, don't you need someone to take care of it? Moreover, there is both fine wine and food, how can you do without beautiful people? Zhong Hao looked at the stunned He Ge, his eyebrows and eyes curled, "Juxia Valley is so far away from Duancheng, and it is very remote, who doesn't know the name of this son, what if some young ladies and young women who are obsessed with this son want to take the opportunity to eat my tofu?" How can I feel at ease without a foot guard? ”
"Poof", He Ge couldn't help laughing, glancing at Zhong Hao with disdain, while trying to understand this situation as an "outing" with a little helplessness.
As soon as the group entered the camp, a young man came to greet them. was about to give a salute, but Zhong Hao waved his hand and said with concern: "Why are you so polite, the injury is better?" ”
It is rare to see Zhong Hao so meticulous to a person, and He Ge has to look at the person twice. The young man has a narrow face and a high nose, his eyes are blazing, he looks handsome and straight, and he has a sense of refreshment and freedom in his gestures.
The young man bowed his head slightly to show his salute, "Thank you for your son's concern in Qingxia, it's no big deal." His voice was slightly deeper.
It turned out that this person was the chief dart head of the Song family's dart bureau, Xu Qingxia, who was known as the "son of Qingxia". He Ge probably remembered that he had heard of this person in the conversation between Zhong Hao and Ke.
Xu Qingxia, although he is a servant of the Song family, has been raised in the mansion since he was a child. even eats and lives with Zhong Hao in the same private school, and is treated as if he is the second son of the Song family. It's a pity that before he reached adulthood, his adoptive father, who was also the brother-in-law of Zhong Hao's father, Xu Pan, died accidentally due to an accident.
Although he was not very old at that time, he was more mature and stable than his peers. Since taking over the dart game, anyone who does not listen to or accept is suppressed by him one by one, and his methods are fierce and decisive, so that he quickly became famous. The voices of opposition and disobedience have gradually subsided.
Xu Qingxia, who has a very close relationship with Zhong Hao, has always been Song Zhonghao's most trusted person in the Song Sect. It's no wonder that Zhong Hao travels and wants to take him with him.
Zhong Hao gently tapped Xu Qingxia's shoulder with a jade bone fan, and said with a smile: "It's really condescending to let the dignified Xu Darthead be my outing guard this time. I hope you don't mind. ”
"Qingxia did not escort the goods well this time and made a big mistake, but the son and the master did not blame, and asked the clan doctor to heal Qingxia's injuries, and Qingxia was grateful. What's more, Qingxia knows that this time Childe is also on the occasion of borrowing the tour guard, so that I can come out to breathe, and I know the love of Childe. ”
Zhong Hao smiled loudly, "Qingxia knows my heart best. ”
Xu Qingxia smiled slightly, and then politely greeted everyone one by one. Fang led everyone into the largest tent in the middle.
