Xu Hening said with a smile: "Brother Jingting, this is taking me as an outsider." ”

"Where, where, Brother Hening, please come in, let's talk in the house." Chen Jingting said a few words of greeting, turned his head and said, "Go and tell Madame, just say that Luo'an City has a guest, let the kitchen make a few specialty dishes to entertain." ”

Chen Jingting took Xu Hening to the front hall, and as soon as Mrs. Chen sat down, she came over, and Xu Hening hurriedly got up to greet Mrs. Chen.

Mrs. Chen waved her hand again and again: "It's all your own people, you don't need to be polite, sit down and talk." Come on, serve tea! ”

The maid leaned forward to pour tea, "Young Master Xu, please use tea." ”

Xu Hening stretched out his hand to open the food box on the table, took out the brown paper bag, and said to Mrs. Chen and Chen Jingting: "This is a mooncake made by Du Lan himself, specially asked me to bring it over for you to taste." ”

Mrs. Chen's sharp eyes swept over the servants of the servants, and the subordinates understood, and immediately withdrew from the hall silently, and when there were only three of them left in the hall, Mrs. Chen reminded in a low voice: "Young Master Xu, Shengjing is no better than Luo'an City, be a person here, be careful everywhere." There are some words that must not be said, otherwise it is easy to cause trouble. ”

Xu Hening often deals with people, but he doesn't know where to say the wrong thing, and he is at a loss.

Mrs. Chen glanced at the moon cake, "Young Master Xu, I look at this like a reunion cake, right?" ”

Chen Jingting cautiously reminded on the side: "Brother Hening, when you go back, tell Duran that this is a reunion cake, not another cake, remember?" ”

Xu Hening suddenly came back to his senses, "Brother Jingting, can't you mention that word?" ”

Chen Jingting nodded, the sun and the moon shine with heaven and earth, symbolizing the emperor and queen. Now the situation in Shengjing is confusing, and no one can see it clearly, and once he says the wrong thing, he may be used to make a fuss.

Xu Hening smiled gratefully, "Thank you Brother Jingting for reminding me that Sheng Jing is not with the little Luo'an City, and I should be cautious in my words and deeds at the feet of the Son of Heaven." ”

Mrs. Chen diverted the topic, "Mrs. Gu really has the heart, and she asked you to send us a reunion cake so far away, but it's a pity that I have a relationship with this child." ”

Chen Jingting joked on the side: "She must be thinking about me, so my mother can eat the reunion cake she made herself, all stained with my light, give me a piece to eat first." ”

As he spoke, he reached out and picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, which made Mrs. Chen cry and laugh because it was not big or small.

"You kid, you don't have a serious attitude all day long, can Mrs. Gu think about you every day? People are married women, you are not allowed to talk nonsense, you know? ”

"Mother, Brother Hening is not an outsider, Duran and I are like this in private, we don't hide it, what are we afraid of." Chen Jingting pouted disappreciatively.

"The more you talk, the more energetic you get, don't you? Looking for a fight, isn't it? As she spoke, Mrs. Chen raised her slap and was about to hit it.

Chen Jingting hurriedly dodged and grimaced at Mrs. Chen proudly.

"You kid......"

Xu Hening shook his head and smiled, as Mrs. Chen is so used to it, Jingting will never grow up.

Chen Jingting noticed Xu Hening's gaze, and hurriedly straightened his sitting posture, "Mother, in front of my brother, you always have to save some face for me, don't raise your hand to fight at every turn, how old is my son." ”

"You know it's not too young." Mrs. Chen said angrily.

"Here it is again, and I know what my mother is going to say next. Besides, I'll take Brother Hening back to the room to catch up. Chen Jingting wrenched his face in displeasure.

"Okay, okay, don't talk about you, mother will talk to Xu Gongzi about something serious." Mrs. Chen smiled and sat upright.

Xu Hening was also busy sitting down seriously, "What is my aunt going to say?" ”

"I'd like to ask how Swallow is doing? How are you doing at your house? Mrs. Chen stared at Xu Hening tightly.

"It's fine!" Xu Hening replied respectfully.

"That's good, counting that she is three months pregnant, is her appetite okay? If you have any special favorite food, I will ask you to prepare some in advance. ”

Xu Hening's face was embarrassed, "It seems that there is nothing particularly favorite to eat." ”

"Oh?" Mrs. Chen furrowed her brows, but when she thought that she didn't have an appetite when she was pregnant with Chen Jingting, she said happily: "That's good, you can grow up better if you don't pick at children." ”

"Hehe, yes." Xu Hening didn't know how to answer, so he smiled in agreement.

"Go back and tell her for me, when she is a month old, she feels tired, and she has to rest more."

Xu Hening nodded and told Mrs. Chen that she would definitely bring the words.

Chen Jingting was on the side, and the authorities were fascinated by bystanders, and he couldn't help but remind Mrs. Chen, "Mother, Brother Hening is Yanzi's eldest brother, it's not appropriate for you to let him say these things, this has to be heard by others, and I think that the eldest brother is worried about his younger siblings." ”

"You child, mother is just ......" Mrs. Chen suddenly understood, and looked at Xu Hening apologetically, "I'm sorry Xu Gongzi, I care about Yanzi too much, so much so that I lose my sense of proportion, don't take it to heart." ”

Xu Hening smiled politely, "No." ”

Chen Jingting said on the side: "Mother directly wrote a letter and asked Brother Hening to come over for a while, so that he didn't have to say anything, and he avoided causing unnecessary gossip." ”

Mrs. Chen nodded appreciatively, "It's better to write a letter." ”

She understands the awkward relationship between her eldest brother and her younger brother-in-law.

"Brother Hening, the reunion cake made by Duran is so delicious, what did she put in it, why have I never eaten it? This black is sweet and sour. After Chen Jingting bit into the moon cake, he stared at the filling inside.

Xu Hening knew that he was referring to wild grapes, dried grapes, so he would pick wild grapes on the mountain and tell Chen Jingting about the encounter with tigers.

Chen Jingting's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked horrified: "What? Did you meet a tiger? She's not doing much."

Before Gu Youan and Xue Yan left, they also specially asked him to take care of Du Lan, if his father hadn't ordered him to go back to the house, he would definitely accompany Du Lan up the mountain together.

Mrs. Chen was also shocked, "How did you get out?" ”

Xu Hening recounted the matter in detail, and Chen Jingting's face eased at this time, "Fortunately, there are bows and arrows given by Brother Xue, otherwise how could you subdue the tiger with your skills, but Du Lan is really good, and ordinary women must have lost their souls in fear when they encounter this situation." ”

"That's it, Duran, this kid is really brave, even if those concubines in our general's mansion encounter this situation, they may not be able to escape with their whole body." Mrs. Chen looked at her with admiration.

"Yes, I was scared silly at the time, if it wasn't for her quick reaction, I would have become a tiger's belly." Xu Hening smiled self-deprecatingly.

"You...... Alas, it's not me saying you, Brother Hening, you also often walk the rivers and lakes, so you can learn some martial arts to defend yourself, even if you don't defend yourself, you can also perform well in front of your favorite woman, if it's me, how can I use a woman's protection, it must be my hero to save the beauty, and finally harvest the admiration of women, hehe......" Chen Jingting said sarcastically.

"Ahem, Jingting, why are you so open-mouthed?" Mrs. Chen reminded on the side.

"Mother, I'm just joking, you don't have to take it seriously, Xu Hening won't take it seriously, okay, my son entertains his brother by himself, you go and urge the kitchen to make something delicious."

Mrs. Chen shook her head helplessly, "Okay, mother won't disturb your brothers' reunion, you can catch up with the old days, but don't talk nonsense if you shouldn't say it." ”

"Got it. Mother, go quickly. Chen Jingting said impatiently.

When the elders left, Xu Hening felt a lot more relaxed, and he smiled bitterly: "Even if you can save the beauty as a hero?" How can you and I capture her heart? ”

"Alas, Brother Hening, don't implicate me, I'm just a brotherhood to Duran. Don't think about her that you shouldn't have, otherwise don't blame me for not thinking about brotherhood and turning my face with you. ”

"You're going to turn on me?" Xu Hening's eyebrows revealed a trace of pain.

"Of course!" Chen Jingting is categorical, when it is time to be serious, he is not ambiguous at all, and if someone dares to think about the master's people, he can't pass him in the first place.

"You and I are in different positions, and you are right to do this." Xu Hening whispered as if talking to himself.

"Definitely! Definitely! Abandon identity and status, you and I, Brother Xue, Gu Gongzi, we are all brothers and friends, the ancients have clouds, and friends and wives cannot be bullied. You have read the books of the sages since you were a child, you should know how to come first and come first, right? So when you hit it, don't force it. ”

Xu Hening looked at his serious expression, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile, "Heh, don't worry, I also have brotherly love for Duran, and there will be no more." ”

He knew this very well in his heart, and even if he had, so what? It's better to hide in the depths of your heart and enjoy the beauty of this concern alone in the dead of night.

didn't want to continue this topic, Xu Hening didn't care about his friends, and there was no one around, so he didn't have any scruples to ask about Xue Yan and Gu Youan.

"Brother Jingting, Gu Gongzi and Brother Xue have been fine recently, right?"

Chen Jingting shook his head: "I don't know their current situation. ”

Xu Hening frowned, looked at Chen Jingting with an inquiring gaze, and saw that his face was calm, and he didn't deliberately hide it from himself, and he was slightly taken aback, did they act so cautiously? Even Chen Jingting was not in touch.

"Don't look at me like that, can I trust you? I really don't know. Now that the situation in Shengjing is tense, it is always right for them to be careful. Chen Jingting was uncomfortable with him, as if he didn't believe in himself.

"Oh? Is there anything big happening in Shengjing? Xu Hening asked in a roundabout way.

"I don't dare to say this, but there have been some moves recently, and the emperor has handed over the power of the Ministry of Industry to King Shuo." Although Chen Jingting does not go to the court, as the son-in-law of the general's mansion, he is often called by his father to the study to talk about the court and the general situation in private, so he is vaguely aware of something.

"Oh? This looks like a good thing. Xu Hening was puzzled.

"On the surface, it seems that King Shuo is valued by the emperor, but in fact, there are pros and cons to this matter, and the emperor is not the only prince who is King Shuo. The more important King Shuo is, the more he will attract the attention of other princes, and I don't know how many forces are ready to move behind it. ”

Xu Hening pondered for a moment and raised his head, he seemed to be able to understand that political affairs are like playing chess, the emperor does not really care which prince he wants, out of the interests of his family and the country, the emperor will continue to set up problems for the princes, in order to test whether they can break through the encirclement.

And the last winner is the king, and the eliminated can only be out.

"You'll have to be careful in the future." Xu Hening couldn't help but tell Chen Jingting.

"Me? Heh, I'm just a general's son who doesn't count the numbers, and I usually hang on to me, and no one pays attention to me. Chen Jingting's seemingly cynical face had a pair of dark eyes flashing with a cunning glow.

Xu Hening smiled, the current Chen Jingting is not a harmless young man who looks so harmless on the surface.
