Chapter 98: Thin-skinned and can't eat
When Cheng Boyu took Cheng Sanguang and the rare soft sword to Taoyuan Pavilion and knocked on the door to ask for a meeting, Tang Xiu was still asleep on the bed.
The bamboo bed had been put away and put back under the bed, Tang Xiu got into the quilt that was still warm after Pei Cai'er left, and slept very sweetly, Tang Lu stood at the head of the bed and shouted several times but failed to wake him up, and finally had to lie down in Tang Xiu's ear and roar, which woke Tang Xiu up from his sleep.
also said that he was a master, looking at the sleepy-eyed young master Tang, Tang Lu pouted lightly, if the masters slept like their young master and slept like a dead pig, then the masters in the world would have died long ago.
"What's the matter?" Turning over from the bed, Tang Xiu looked at Tang Lu with a displeased expression, seeing Tang Lu's neck shrink, he couldn't help but think of the murderous appearance of their young master to his subordinates a long time ago. If there is no reasonable explanation, the young master is afraid that he will really pounce on him and beat him violently.
Unconsciously took two steps back, leaving some distance from the bed, Tang Lu replied respectfully: "Back to the young master, it was the little grandfather of the Cheng family who came to visit, and he has been waiting in the front hall for a long time, if the young master doesn't get up again, I'm afraid he will snub the distinguished guests, so ......"
"Cheng Boyu?" Tang Xiu was stunned for a moment, remembering the watermelon that was sent to Cheng's Mansion yesterday, so he nodded suddenly, and instructed Tang Lu softly: "You take him to the melon field in the back garden first, and I will arrive later." ”
"Yes, young master." Tang Lu responded, but did not leave directly, but asked Tang Xiu for instructions: "Young master, when Cheng Xiaogong came, he also brought a good gift, I heard Uncle Shi say that the gift is precious and abnormal, and the price is worth 10,000 yuan, Uncle Shi didn't dare to accept it easily, so he asked the villain to come over and ask the young master for one or two, I don't know what we ...... this gift is."
"Close!" Tang Xiu didn't hesitate at all, and replied very simply: "Everyone else has sent it to the door, why don't you accept it?" ”
"Yes, young master, the villain has written it down." In response, Tang Lu bowed and withdrew.
Tang Xiu got up, put on his clothes and finished washing, and then walked unhurriedly towards the back garden of the entire manor.
The layout in the manor has not yet been fully unfolded, and the people in the house are all busy with the things at hand, the turf has been cleared of the ten**, and the flowers and trees planted along the way have all been removed.
More than half of the cultivated land has been planted with the vegetation crops required by Tang Xiu, but most of them have not yet sprouted, and the garden is empty, and the scenery and characters inside can be said to be clear at a glance.
Tang Xiu, who was far away, saw that near the pond behind him, Tang Lu and Tang Panshi were chatting and laughing with the two people, and from time to time they pointed to the melon seedlings and watermelons in the melon field next to them, comparing back and forth.
This melon field was planted by Tang Xiu when the Tang Mansion first moved into the Taoyuan Pavilion, after nearly a month of careful care, under the watering of the daily sufficient amount of spiritual spring, the melon seedlings grew luxuriantly, and the watermelons that originally took more than two months to mature took less than a month to have signs of ripening.
Seeing Tang Xiu walking towards them, Cheng Boyu's gaze withdrew from the melon field and turned his head to look in the direction where Tang Xiu was.
This is the first time Cheng Boyu has met Tang Xiu face-to-face, although he has heard of Tang Xiu's name before, and he has also met Tang Xiu and others in Xiangmanlou, but it is the first time that the two have a face-to-face direct conversation like today.
"Your guests are coming, you are not welcomed, I hope that the little grandfather will forgive your sins!"
Walking closer, Tang Xiu took the lead in speaking, bowed his hand to greet Cheng Boyu, and always had a faint smile.
"Brother Tang is serious, it's me who is a wicked guest who has disturbed Brother Tang's purity." Cheng Boyu laughed loudly, returned the salute to Tang Xiu, and said softly: "I just heard the housekeeper of your mansion mention that there was a slight change in your mansion yesterday, and Brother Tang was taken to the prison of the mansion overnight, Brother Tang is fine, right?" ”
Tang Xiu said lightly: "Little Grandpa Lao's concern is just a misunderstanding, and now the misunderstanding has been cleared." ”
Seeing that Tang Xiu didn't seem to want to say more, Cheng Boyu didn't mention it anymore, and after a turn of thought, he moved his gaze to the melon field next to him again.
"Suddenly I was a little thirsty, I don't know ......" Cheng Boyu raised his finger and pointed to the watermelon in the melon field, turned his head to look at Tang Xiu, the meaning of which was self-evident.
"Of course you can, how can you snub your guests?" Tang Xiu nodded with a smile, and then reprimanded Tang Lu softly: "What are you still doing in a daze, didn't you hear the little grandfather say that you were thirsty, why don't you go and pour a cup of tea for the little grandfather?" ”
"Huh?"
Hearing Tang Xiu's answer, everyone was stunned, and looked at Tang Xiu a little stupidly, did people say they wanted to drink tea, obviously they wanted to eat watermelon, okay?
"Oh...... Oh oh, I'll go! Tang Lu was the first to react, and after answering the call, he trotted to the front house.
"It's not...... I ......" Cheng Boyu stretched out his hand to stop it, but as soon as the words came to his mouth, he found that Tang Lu had already run by, and he cursed in his heart and put down his raised right hand.
Deliberately, Tang Xiu's guy must have done it on purpose!
Cheng Boyu's heart was a little angry, didn't he say that Tang Xiu was a loser, when did he become so stingy? Can't even let a watermelon be eaten by guests?
Could it be that the sword they brought with them when they came was not even worth a watermelon in their Tang Mansion?
"Little grandpa doesn't have to be polite." Thinking that Cheng Boyu was embarrassed, Tang Xiu persuaded softly: "When you arrive at the Tang Mansion, it's like going to your own home, you can say whatever you want, don't be polite." ”
"Really? Just like in your own home? Cheng Boyu turned his head to look at Tang Xiu, and confirmed to Tang Xiu very seriously.
Hearing Cheng Boyu's words, Tang Xiu's heart slipped, and he nodded a little bottomlessly: "Be ...... Of course. ”
What is this kid going to do? Tang Xiu stared at Cheng Boyu closely, thinking to himself, could he really treat this place as their Cheng Mansion wanted to act recklessly here? In the end, it is a relative of the emperor and the country, and the young master who came out of a big family, he won't do such a shameless thing so shamelessly, right?
Facts have proved that Tang Xiu still far underestimated Cheng Boyu, or the thickness of their old Cheng family's skin.
"That's good, in that case, I'm not welcome to be a brother!"
Tang Xiu's words fell, and Cheng Boyu took over the conversation, and then rushed straight to the melon field in front of them with a happy face.
"This ......"
Tang Xiu looked at Cheng Boyu speechlessly, and couldn't help but want to scold his mother, should Nima be so realistic, Lao Tzu is just casually polite, okay? What kind of people are these, and they really don't treat themselves as outsiders?!
"It's okay, it's okay, you don't have to help, my young master likes to do it himself."
Cheng Sanguang smiled and covered up their young master's rude behavior, as if he hadn't noticed Tang Xiu's face that was already a little distressed at all.
