Chapter VIII
Chen suddenly smiled after arriving awe, and looked back at Wen Bo: "Wen Bo is not worried about the young master?" Or do you think I'm going to do something? ”
Xu Ji also laughed silently behind his back, young master, isn't this just admitting the master?
Wen Bo's voice was still calm as if it had remained unchanged for ten thousand years: "It's not that I'm afraid of you making a move, but I'm worried that you won't be convinced, after all, no one will trust a six-year-old child who has never met before, even if it is the command of the head of the family." After all, Chen Zhi was instructed by Sima Hui to serve Xu Ji, not to mention his later doubts, but his failure to show his intention was enough to make Xu Ji dissatisfied with him, and Wen Bo said most of the time because he didn't want the two of them to have a grudge.
Xu Ji turned around and smiled: "Wen Bo doesn't have to worry, I won't take it to heart." Moreover, talented people are certainly arrogant. ”
Chen Zhi on the other side also smiled indifferently, and seemed to be completely unconcerned.
Wen Bo also smiled: "I know that the young master has always been generous, but there are some things that are better to say." It seems to be meaningful, the corners of Xu Ji's mouth raised slightly.
"Since the words are open, then it will be revealed, Wen Bo, call the bar below, and I will pick up the wind for Brother Chen."
Wen Bo smiled and retreated.
"Young master, call my uncle, I came this time when I received a letter from Mr., I never thought that Mr. wanted me to come to see the young master, so I have doubts, please forgive the young master for the crime of disrespect." Chen Zhi raised the wine cup in his hand like Xu Ji to apologize.
Xu Ji took a sip of wine, and scratched his head very wordlessly: "I said that I didn't take it to heart, not to mention that I have shallow qualifications, and it is indeed a little inappropriate for the teacher to ask you to come rashly, after all, I am a six-year-old child, and it is normal for you to distrust me and look down on me." ”
Chen Zhi stood up: "The young master is sincerely worried about the people's suffering, although he is young, but his uncle sincerely admires it. Since the young master inherits Mr. Cheng's ambitions, he should naturally not be arrogant. ”
Xu Ji smiled bitterly: "At my age, it is already difficult to move an inch in Yingchuan, do you know how inseparable the situation is now?" ”
"Please ask the young master to solve the doubts for the uncle."
Xu Ji sorted out his words: "Since Mr. was forced to leave Jiangxia, I have become the target of public criticism, and recently there has been an undercurrent in Yingchuan County, and the new county guard will soon be clear, and I am afraid that I will be the first to become a sacrifice at that time." "Be concise.
Chen Zhi obviously didn't expect the seriousness of the situation, and was a little confused.
Xu Ji sighed: "I'm afraid I have to leave Yingchuan." ”
Chen Zhi was also a little helpless, thought about it and asked, "Where is the young master going?" ”
"Let's go on a study tour, just go to Jiangxia to meet the teacher first, and I have some doubts in my studies just to ask for advice, and I can go to see the lives of the people today."
Wen Bo happened to come in, and he was still followed by Xiaozhuang, who had not been seen for a long time: "Is the young man going out of the house?" ”
Before Xu Ji could answer, he saw Xiaozhuang say happily: "Uncle Zhi, is it really you?" I was still thinking about when I would see you, but I didn't expect you to have returned to Yingchuan. ”
Chen Zhi's face turned cold: "I heard Wen Bo say that you dare not believe in the young master?" How dare you? ”
Although Xiaozhuang is much older than Chen Zhi, hearing Chen Zhi's cold question, he actually sweated coldly: "Shuzhi, I'm ...... I just ......" Chen Zhi snorted again and stopped paying attention to Xiao Zhuang, and turned to Wen Bo and said: "Wen Bo, these affairs in Yingchuan are going to bother you again, I think it is inconvenient for the young master to be out alone, and there are many bandits on the road, so I will go with the young master." ”
As soon as Xu Ji wanted to stop it, he heard that Wen Bo agreed, and he was speechless for a moment, these people really regarded themselves as children, and they didn't ask my opinion at all.
Chen Zhi heard Wen Bo's affirmative reply, and then turned to Xu Ji, who was sitting behind the table, and said: "Young master, Uncle Zhi still has some courage, and it is better than the young master being alone along the way. Uncle Zhi hadn't seen Mr. for a long time, so he just took advantage of this time to thank him in person. As soon as he said this, Xu Ji couldn't stop him, this one of them was to protect himself and do things for his own good, and if he refused, he would not be embarrassed. The two of them are also to worship the benefactor in person, and there is no reason to stop it.
Xu Ji smiled bitterly: "That's all I have to say, then I naturally don't want to be respectful, and I will trouble my uncle." ”
"This is the duty of the uncle, why should the young master be like this? Isn't it tormenting Uncle Zhi? ”
Xu Jiha smiled, and then raised the wine cup: "Wen Bo, Wen Lie has thanked Wen Bo for taking care of him for these days, there are some things, Wen Lie can handle it himself, Wen Bo is the age when he should be happy, there is no need to worry about everything, there are some trivialities, just leave it to the next person to do it." Wen Bo walked to the table and drank a glass of wine: "Young master, Wen Bo is old, and there is only these abilities left, and only the old man knows the affairs of the house in his heart, and I am afraid that others may not be able to take care of them one by one." This wine, as the young master practiced, presumably the young master study tour is also a long plan, just act according to the young master's wishes, see the head of the family with the old man like him hello, said that the old man is very satisfied with today's life, so that he does not have to worry. ”
Xu Ji's mind turned sharply, this old guy seems to have a deep meaning, there is something in this statement, just look at this tone, I am afraid that there is another hidden secret, maybe this old guy is more hidden than Sima Hui. He was not slow in his hand, and he raised his glass and drank it all: "I must bring it, Wen Bo can rest assured." ”
Xiao Zhuang on the side finally found a vacancy, and said to Xu Ji with a bitter face: "Young master, the villain has already gathered a lot of splashes according to the young master's instructions, I don't know what to do next?" We have this in our hands, this ...... But not much. ”
Xu Ji glanced at Chen Dao, who was calm on the side: "Since Uncle Zhi doesn't stay, most of those splashes are not needed, so they will be dismissed, there is indeed not much money in the house, and I wanted to keep it for defense, but now I don't need it." ”
Wen Bo also interjected in a timely manner as if he knew Xu Ji's intentions: "It's okay to stay, after all, the head of the family still has some idle land, let them go to the city to settle down first, maybe, they can be used, Xiaozhuang, I will leave it to you to appease them, I hope not to disappoint the young master." "When it comes to the worst, it's already a sharp rhetoric.
Xiao Zhuang nodded hurriedly: "How dare you not serve your life, but if you disappoint the young master a little, I Xiao Zhuang will come to see me." ”
"It's not so scary, keep it if you can keep it, and if you can't keep it, let them disperse, and you don't have to force it to stay." Xu Ji is funny, thinking about how arrogant he was at the beginning, but now when he sees Uncle Chen, he is like a mouse seeing a cat, and he has no temper at all. Is this one thing descending from one thing? Xu Wenlie thought to himself.
On the second day, Xu Ji was alone in the pavilion in the backyard, with a pot of wine, alone, from a distance, he really had the smell of a worldly master, of course, it didn't look at his age. This is the so-called pride, right? Presumably, these so-called literati are a little inexplicably arrogant, which makes some sense. Xu Ji thought of pouring himself a drink. In fact, Xu Ji never regarded himself as a literati, and his perspective was destined to be higher than that of everyone in this era, of course, this is nothing more than "high eyes and low hands", and he has not yet had the ability to change the general trend of this era.
However, who knew that there would be no Dao in the future, Xu Ji's eyes looked at the boundless sky, and suddenly an abrupt cry interrupted the originally comfortable atmosphere: "Wen Lie, you have leisure." ”
If you don't look at it, you can see that this kind of uninteresting person can only be done by Guo Jia and Guo Da Prodigal.
Xu Ji raised his glass again and drank the rest of the wine in the cup, and motioned for Guo Jia to sit down, there was a pair of tuks and an empty cup on the table, obviously expected. Guo Jia was not polite, he sat down and poured a full glass of wine, raised his head and drank it: "Sure enough, Wen Lie knows me." ”
Xu Ji's face remained unchanged: "Guo Langzi has been here for three days, and it's time to calculate the days." The tone was full of sarcasm, but Guo Jia didn't care: "Jia is not a white eater, if Wen says that the matter of the county guard is in three or five days, you have to prepare early." ”
Xu Ji finally straightened his face, no longer looking light: "I originally wanted to leave in order to wait for someone, but now I have waited, and I will get up tomorrow." ”
"Waiting for someone? Who could ask for Mr. Xu and others? That's a lot of face. Guo Fengxiao looked curious.
"This little life of mine is going to be taken care of by him." Xu Ji's tone was playful, but Guo Jia could hear that it was not a joke.
"Where is he now?"
"Arrange affairs, you should be coming back, what are you anxious about?"
Guo Jia rubbed his palms and said with a smile: "Isn't this to see who can make Master Xu put down." ”
Xu Ji said: "I'm leaving, you're afraid you're in trouble, you've always been friendly with me, and it's also the reason why I entered Yingchuan, even if Wen Ruo protects each other, there are many dangers, if it's not for the difficulty of your study tour, I want to take you along." Eh......"
Guo Jia said proudly: "Who in this Yingchuan can want me Guo Jia?" It's not Jia who is proud, just relying on Guo Jia's three-inch tongue is enough, not to mention that if you have a text, the many back hands you leave behind are not useless. ”
Xu Ji looked at Guo Jia: "No matter how many hands I have, I can't get on the table, the strength is too small after all, the grasshopper shakes the tree, and the mantis arm is just a car, otherwise why should I avoid trouble?" I know your ability to be filial piety, but I don't want you to ruin your future because of such a trivial matter, Xu Ji is ashamed, and he is in trouble with Fengxiao. ”
Guo Jia smiled, and there was endless arrogance in his laughter: "Don't say that you are implicated in Wen Lie, just say that Jia knew the consequences of this matter, since he did not retreat at that time, he naturally does not blame Wen Lie now." What's more, such a cool thing as being an enemy of the world, how can I, Guo Fengxiao, miss it? Just show your ambitions and live up to what you have learned. ”
Xu Ji finally stopped talking, just raised the wine glass, Guo Jia also poured another glass of wine, the two wine glasses touched a crisp sound in the air, the two looked at each other and smiled, Chen Zhi, who had finished arranging affairs at the gate of the courtyard, heard laughter before he entered the door, with an inexplicable look on his face, thinking to himself What did these two people get and lose their hearts and go crazy?
Only Xu Ji understands, only Guo Jia understands that from this moment, they are confidants who have no worries and their lives are intertwined, leaving behind the difference in the portal and letting go of their original defenses.
Guo Jia understood that Xu Ji left his belongings to Guo Jia to take care of.
Xu Ji understands that Guo Jia wants Xu Ji to rest assured, everything is with him, and Yingchuan will definitely be worry-free.
No one knows what kind of storm these two people can stir up together, although they are young now they don't have enough strength, although they don't even know how long they can survive now, but they all know one thing about each other, that is, they are not willing to be mediocre.
And Xu Ji understands better that they are not destined to be mediocre.
This glass of wine, to you people who want to put me to death, Xu Ji will have a good reward in the future!
