Even if everyone knows that you are going to eat, do you have to cover it up?

After a moment of silence, Zhang Xie said, "It's not good, Miss Qiao and I are eating." ”

Xu and Xiu laughed twice, walked in by themselves, glanced at the food on the table, and said, "You can't eat so much, I think Miss Qiao is not a stingy person, she won't mind, right?" ”

Qiao Ran smiled and coughed dryly, and said, "I still have some minds." ”

If you really mind, you won't smile and talk to him. Xu Hexiu smiled and pulled Xie Chengze, who was motionless behind him, and walked in, and said, "Don't be so stingy, I'm shy in my pocket, and you know it." Saying that, he turned his head to Xie Chengze and said, "You still said that I can't afford to invite it, although I can't afford to invite it, but I know how to borrow flowers to offer Buddha." ”

Xie Chengze, who had never spoken up, finally spoke at this time: "Don't talk nonsense, that's not how to borrow flowers and offer Buddha." ”

Zhang Xie turned his head to look at Qiao Ran, and saw that the girl nodded slightly, so he said to the slightly dazed guy on the side: "Add two seats!" ”

The man answered the call and went away until the two of them sat down and served the teacups and chopsticks. Xu Hexiu took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Why don't you drink wine?" After eating, I went home and went to sleep, so it didn't hurt to get drunk! ”

"Miss Qiao and I originally wanted to go for a walk after eating." Zhang Xie glanced at him and unceremoniously "reminded" him that he had no eyes.

"I know it's annoying!" Xu Hexiu had already developed a cheeky face in front of his friends, and said with a smile, "You two have been here for a long time, but we have one less meal." ”

Zhang Xie shook his head with a smile, and turned his head to look at Xie Chengze, who was silently drinking tea on the side: "Chengze, have you had something to do recently?" ”

Xie Chengze, who was drinking tea with his head down, raised his head, smiled, and said, "There's nothing to do." As for the rest, you also know that since my cousin was imprisoned in Dali Temple, my uncle and aunt have been a little worried. ”

"Don't just worry, don't you have to find a way to get Xie Yi out?" When Xu Hexiu heard this, he sneered and said, "I said that your eldest uncle and aunt are too much, and you are in trouble now!" I didn't dare to look for Old Lady Xie, but I was eyeing you, can you still be above the law and get Xie Yi out of prison? ”

As he spoke, Xie Chengze saw the bottom of the teacup in his hand, poured another cup for himself, and said slowly: "Actually, it's not a big deal, the eldest uncle and aunt haven't said anything other than two words of persuasion." ”

"It's just a singing red face and a white face." Xu Hexiu snorted hatefully, "I said Chengze, you just got married to my tenth sister early, and you can move out when you get married, and then you won't have to look at the hypocritical faces of that couple anymore." ”

Xie Chengze's eyes fell on the teacup in his hand, and he didn't move away for a long time: "I can't say that, it was indeed my uncle who brought me back then." ”

Qiao Ran listened quietly on the side and did not interject.

She also knows a thing or two about Xie Chengze, of course, she heard about it from Zhang Jie. Xie Chengze's father is the younger brother of Master Xie, the sixth of his generation, if he is alive, he will also be called "Xie Liuye". However, although he is a compatriot, Xie Liuye is different from Master Xie, who is a mediocre person and has a lot of talent. Speaking of which, it also has some fate with Dali Temple, Xie Liuye's talent is on the investigation of cases, and he also served in Dali Temple back then. Because of this, when he proposed to Taiwei Xie that he wanted to enter Dali Temple, Taiwei Xie agreed almost without thinking about it.

It is always gratifying for a son to inherit his father's business.

Xie Liuye went out to investigate the case and encountered a gangster, and Mrs. Xie Liu, who was traveling with her husband at that time, had an accident with Xie Liuye, and the young Xie Chengze was nowhere to be found. In the end, it was Master Xie who found Xie Chengze, a big family like the Xie family, with a large population, naturally it was inevitable that there would be discord, and the young Xie Chengze had been living under the Xie family's long house.

That's all she knows, it's always Xie Chengze's private affairs, she didn't ask in detail, and Zhang Xie didn't say much.

However, it seems that I can know more details today, because there is Xu Hexiu's big mouth.

Xu Hexiu asked people to serve a pot of wine and poured wine for everyone one by one, and then turned to Xie Chengze and said, "Don't hide it, Chengze, I am still looking for you to eat for the tenth sister." She said it was nothing, but I knew she wasn't happy and wanted to meet you. ”

Xie Chengze said: "I have a good relationship with Miss Xu Shi, and there is nothing to do. ”

"Nothing?" Xu Hexiu drank a glass of wine, and he chattered more and more, "Before the tenth sister returned to her hometown to guard her filial piety, there were not so few words between the two of you. ”

Xie Chengze said: "After getting married, there is a lot of time to speak, so why do you have to say it now?" ”

Xu Hexiu, who was drinking, was stunned and looked at him in a daze, as if he didn't know how to refute for a while.

I knew there was something wrong with what he said, but I didn't know how to find a mistake.

In the end, Xu Hexiu could only hum and said: "You are so sharp-toothed, I didn't send you to the Speculation Hall to quarrel with others, oh, no, it's speculation, it's a pity." ”

Xie Chengze drank a cup of tea silently, poured another cup from the teapot on the side and drank it silently: "Compared to the matter between me and Miss Xu Shi, how did you check my lobby brother?" Even if the uncle and aunt don't urge, they can't keep him locked up. ”

"The chef skills of Dali Temple are still good." Xu Hexiu didn't care about this, "There is almost no doubt that he instructed the little boy to kill Lord Zhao, although it was an attempted murder, Lord Zhao did not die because of this incident, but he also had to stay in prison for a few years." ”

Xie Chengze glanced at him and said, "You can't say that. My cousin has been clothed and fed since he was a child, and the food in the prison of Dali Temple is good, but it is torment for the lobby brother. ”

"That's what he did to himself, what did he do to others?" Xu Hexiu frowned, he had always disliked Xie Yi, and he was even too lazy to hide it in front of his friends at this time, "There are many people who don't have enough to eat, and some of them are good to eat." You say don't you? He said and looked at Zhang Xie and Qiao Ran on the side, of course, he didn't really expect the two of them to say anything, only paused for a while, took a sip of wine and prepared to continue.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Ran spoke at this time: "Yes, Mr. Xie always has to stay in prison for a few years, anyway, he will be locked up after being convicted, so it is better to familiarize himself with it now, so as not to get used to it later." ”

As soon as these words came out, the wine in Xu Hexiucai's mouth spurted out at once.

Fortunately, Zhang Jie, who was sitting directly opposite him, flashed to the side as early as Qiao Ran spoke.

"I said Miss Qiao, oh, no, Lord Qiao," Xu Hexiu didn't have time to wipe the wine on his body, and looked at Qiao Ran's eyes wide, "What's the matter with you and Cheng Ze today, are you going to suffocate me?" ”

One said, "After getting married, there is a time to speak," and the other said, "You should stay in prison for a few years first, so as not to get used to it in the future." ”

Xu Hexiu looked at Qiao Ran and then at Xie Chengze on the side: Are people laughing like this now?

At this moment, Qiao Ran smiled and said loudly: "I'm joking, you don't have to take it to heart." ”

Xie Chengze put down the teacup in his hand, glanced at her deeply, got up suddenly, and said lightly: "I still have something to do, so I won't bother." ”

"Haven't eaten yet? Why are you leaving? Hearing this, Xu Hexiu hurriedly got up to stop him and said, "Miss Qiao is just joking, you don't have to take it to heart." ”

"How? I'm really in trouble. Xie Chengze said and looked at Zhang Jie, "Xie Zhi, let's get together another day!" ”

Zhang Xie nodded and said "Okay".

After Xie Chengze left, Xu Hexiucai, who was still standing in place, was surprised: "What's wrong with Chengze?" Isn't Mistress Joe just joking? Is he angry? ”

Qiao Ran said: "He's not angry, he's gone." ”

Hey? Xu and Xiu were surprised.

Qiao Ran said: "He knew that I did it on purpose, and he knew that I had something to avoid him asking you, so he left." ”

Xu Hexiu was a little dazed: "Really?" How can I not see it at all? He thought they were all joking!

Zhang Xie took a sip of tea slowly and methodically, and said, "It's okay, Pei Qingqing can't always see it." It's not you, just get used to it. ”

Xu Hexiu's face froze: What he said seemed to be that he, an adult in his twenties, could only compare with Pei Qingqing's ten-year-old child.

However, what exactly does she want to ask about it, and she wants to avoid solving it?

The girl didn't sell Guan Zi, so she spoke again at this time: "Lord Xu, Xie Chengze is always a child of the Xie family, when it comes to the grace of upbringing, the Xie clan will not let the children of the clan starve to death, it's just that it is remembered under the door of the Xie family's long house, why does Xie Chengze take care of Master Xie's family so much?" ”

Xu Hexiu sighed and said, "Because if it weren't for Master Xie back then, Cheng Zeke would have died." ”

Qiao Ranqi said: "Is that so?" ”

Xu Hexiu snorted and said, "This has to start from when Xie Liuye and his wife were ordered to go to Jinling to investigate the case, and it happened ten years ago. Xie Liuye was ordered to track down the thieves, and in order to hide people's eyes, he took Mrs. Xie and Xie Chengze, and the family of three went to Jinling in the name of sightseeing. Of course, this is the news that broke out after Xie Liuye's accident, at first, even Xie Taiwei didn't know, he just thought that Xie Liuye took leave because he wanted to take his wife and children to Jinling to play. ”

"We don't know the specific process of the incident, but we only know that on the day when we were about to leave Jinling and return to Chang'an, Chengze, who was about to leave that day, was clamoring to see the dragon head boat."

"But the Dragon Boat Festival?" Qiao Ran thought for a while and said, "It's not strange for a seven or eight-year-old child to like to watch dragon boating. ”

Xu Hexiu nodded and said, "Yes, it's the Dragon Boat Boat Race, Xie Liuye and his wife postponed the return trip in order to let Xie Chengze see the dragon boat, but who would have thought that that night, Chengze had an accident and was kidnapped." Xie Liuye and his wife hurriedly rushed to the Jinling Mansion to report the case, the Yin of Jinling Mansion at that time was Lord Zhen, Lord Zhen originally wanted to intervene in this matter, and even the officers and soldiers were dispatched, but the thief suddenly asked people to take Cheng Ze's personal belongings, and only let him and his wife go alone with the silver two, and they were not allowed to bring officers and soldiers, otherwise they would wait to receive Cheng Ze's body! Xie Liuye and his wife were afraid that something would happen to Cheng Ze, so they complied, but they never came back, and even Cheng Ze disappeared. ”

"Lord Zhen sent troops to search all over Jiangnan Province, but no one was found. Later, Master Xie came in person, followed the officers and soldiers for more than half a month, and then found Chengze, but at that time, Xie Liuye and his wife had died, and the death was extremely tragic, this incident almost shocked the entire court at that time, and Lord Zhen was almost dismissed because of this matter. However, Taiwei Xie is not an unreasonable person, and the thief who committed the crime was going to Xie Liuye and his wife after all, no wonder Lord Zhen. Later, the thief saw that he could not escape, so he committed suicide, and did not tell Cheng Ze's whereabouts before he died. It was Master Xie who refused to give up, and led people to look for three days and three nights before he found the dying Xie Chengze, and everyone knew what happened after that. When Xu Hexiu said this, he couldn't help but sigh, "As far as Chengze is concerned, Master Xie has the grace to save his life." ”

People are complicated, Master Xie was looking for someone all the time, and he was not completely ruthless to the only heir of this brother-in-law, but no matter how good the nephew is, he can't compare to his parents.

Qiao Ran nodded, thoughtful.

Xu Hexiu drank the wine in the wine glass in his hand again, suddenly sighed, and said strangely: "Master Qiao, you also know the answers you want to ask, why do you ask me?" ”

Qiao Ran glanced at Zhang Xie who was smiling on the side, smiled, and said, "It's always a friend's private matter, I don't want him to be embarrassed." ”

Xu Hexiu's hand pouring wine suddenly stiffened: Xie Zhi and Cheng Ze are friends, aren't he and Cheng Ze friends? You don't want to embarrass him, just embarrass me?

The girl reminded him innocently: "Do you still eat?" ”

Eat, of course! I've taken this pot of leaking my friend's private affairs, wouldn't I be too sorry for myself if I didn't eat it?

Xu Hexiu hurriedly lowered his head and feasted.

The level of the chef in Baishenglou was not good, and after a pot of wine, Xu Hexiu did not ask for any more wine, but lowered his head and drank tea.

"This tea is good, why haven't you eaten it before?" Xu Hexiu took a bite and asked casually, "Is it new from Baishenglou?" "There are also plums in the tea, which has a more fruity aroma than ordinary tea.

Zhang explained: "It's not new, it's something I haven't ordered before." ”

"Why not?" Xu and Xiuqi said.

Zhang Xie glanced at him lightly and said, "Naturally, it's because it's expensive." ”

Xu Hexiu was silent when he heard this, and after a while, he said expressionlessly: "You are really a heavy color and a light friend. ”

I never order this when I go out to eat with him and Chengze, but I come out with Master Qiao, but it is good tea and good dishes, which is too much!

Zhang Xie smiled and said nothing, and waited until Xu Hexiu had almost eaten before he spoke again: "We finished eating, ready to leave, you see ......"

Xu Hexiu hurriedly raised the teacup in his hand and drank it all, then got up and said, "I'm almost done, so I'll leave first, and the two of you will get together another day!" ”

Without waiting for the two of them to speak, he strode out of the door, and closed the door for them "intimately" after going out.

Qiao Ran, who saw this move, laughed for a while, and after laughing twice, he looked at Zhang Xie and said, "You shouldn't really order this tea because you're expensive!" ”

For him, it is not enough to snub his friends because the tea is a little expensive.

Zhang Xie nodded, and after glancing at her meaningfully, he slowly spoke: "No, it's because Cheng Ze doesn't like plum tea." ”

As he spoke, his gaze fell on Xie Chengze's position before, and the teacup was empty.
