Section 192 Chapter 192 The Loyal and Brave King
After being cleaned up by a few young men in the Piaoxiang Wine Workshop, the front of the Wine Shop quickly returned to its previous appearance. At this time, Yuan Musheng also opened the door of the winery and began to continue doing business. And the onlookers, who had nothing to see, slowly dispersed.
"Xiang'er, we've been standing here for almost two hours, let's go to the wine shop to warm up for a while before going home." Lu Hong saw Lu Xiang'er's somewhat red face, and he was really afraid that she would be frostbitten.
Lu Xiang'er nodded, then turned around and prepared to take Chaoxia to the wine shop with her. But the morning glow that was still there just now, but there was still a pair of footprints left, Lu Xiang'er hurriedly looked at Lu Hong, but saw that Lu Hong was also at a loss.
The brother and sister glanced at each other, and then looked around for the figure of Asaka in the walking crowd. But after looking around, I didn't find anything. Lu Xiang'er had no choice but to say, "Brother, let's go to the wine shop and wait." I believe that Sister Chaoxia should not go far and will come back soon. ”
"Okay. Sister Chaoxia didn't say a word where she went, next time she had to tell her, she couldn't leave suddenly without saying a word......" Lu Hong muttered as he and Lu Hong prepared to walk towards the winery.
But when the brother and sister had just taken a step, they saw two old men standing in front of them. When Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong saw one of them, they immediately bowed down: "I've seen the grandfather of the old country--"
Song Beiqiao didn't wait for the two of them to bow down, so he waved his hand and smiled: "Hurry up." It's really cold after standing here for so long. You accompany us two old men to sit down at that pot shop. ”
After speaking, Song Yuanbeiqiao and the old man beside him walked towards the hot pot shop where Lu Xianger frequented. Song Beiqiao's tone was affirmative, but he didn't ask, Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong had to follow honestly. But thinking of the morning glow, Lu Xiang'er suddenly stopped.
The old man beside Song Beiqiao seemed to notice Lu Xiang'er's movements, and he didn't look back, but his voice came: "You don't have to worry about that girl, someone will bring her in a while." ”
Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong only remembered what Song Beiqiao had just said at this time, thinking that they had been standing here for a while, and the two of them had been looking at Lu Xiang'er and the three of them. Otherwise, Song Beiqiao and the old man beside him would not have known about Chaoxia's departure.
The brother and sister glanced at each other, and then set their eyes on the old man who was slightly older than Song Beiqiao. Although this old man can see that he is older than Song Beiqiao, he walks calmly and powerfully. His appearance is ordinary, but there is a faint momentum on his body, which gives people a very unusual feeling.
When I arrived at the door of the hot pot shop, a middle-aged man who had been standing at the door for a long time immediately greeted him. He politely saluted Song Beiqiao and the old man, and then said in a low voice: "It's all ordered, the room is on the right side of the second floor, and the environment is okay......"
"I see. When that girl comes, just let her come up. The old man nodded, and then entered the hot pot shop with Song Beiqiao behind his back, and Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong followed behind.
The four of them came to the private room on the second floor, and the soup in the warm pot on the table had begun to tumble slightly. Around the hot pot, there are plates and five pairs of dishes and chopsticks. What surprised Lu Xianger the most was that on the side of the table, there was a pot of tea and a plate of osmanthus cake. Lu Xiang'er understood that Song Beiqiao and the old man might have made up their minds a long time ago, and had dinner with the three of them, but they were puzzled that there was actually osmanthus cake in the hot pot shop.
"Sit down first, and when that girl comes, we can eat." The old man was the first to sit on the main seat, but Song Beiqiao glared at him and whispered a word of 'old goods' before sitting next to the old man.
Lu Xiang'er and Lu Honghe heard Song Beiqiao say such rude words for the first time, but they didn't dare to show anything, so they didn't hear it, and sat opposite the two of them carefully. However, the brother and sister began to guess the identity of the old man in their hearts.
Maybe you saw something, or you just remembered something. After Song Beiqiao sat down, he pointed to the person next to him and said to the brother and sister: "The one next to me is Li Xingzhou, the king of loyalty and bravery......"
"Loyalty, Loyalty." When Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong heard this, they immediately raised their eyes and looked at the old man. Seeing the old man stroked his beard and looked at the two with a smile, the two of them got up and saluted in a little panic.
Li Xingzhou did not stop the two brothers and sisters from giving a big gift, but waited for the two of them to get up before saying: "My old man's grandsons are older than you, so I will accept your brothers and sisters." Don't scold me in your heart, it's better to rely on the old and sell the old. ”
"The prince is serious, the kid admires the prince very much." Lu Hong was telling the truth, and his tone was a little excited. Li Xingzhou immediately glanced at Song Beiqiao proudly, and then said: "I heard that your kid's martial arts are also good, and you can come to the palace with Wen Hao to play when you have time." ”
mentioned Li Wenhao, but Lu Xianger's heart was raised. Li Xingzhou knew about Chaoxia, and he may also know about Chaoxia and Li Wenhao. Sitting with the three of them today, I don't know what kind of purpose Li Xingzhou has. This thought turned around in her heart a few times, and Lu Xiang'er lifted her spirit.
Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong sat down again, and Song Beiqiao motioned to Lu Xiang'er to pour tea for the four of them. Lu Xiang'er hurriedly got up again, and poured a cup of tea for Li Xingzhou, Song Beiqiao, Lu Hong, and herself in turn before sitting down. Li Xingzhou picked up the plate of osmanthus cake and put it within reach of the four of them.
"After many years in the frontier, what I miss most is the osmanthus cake of this Jingshi." Li Xingzhou picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and put it in front of him, looked at it for a while, and then slowly put it in his mouth to taste. A trace of remembrance flashed in his eyes, but he was seen by Lu Xiang'er.
Song Beiqiao also picked up a piece, and motioned to Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong, saying, "You can also taste it." This is something that Prince Li found someone to make, and it is not easy to eat. ”
"Thank you, thank you, grandfather of the old country." Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong couldn't refuse, so they had to pick up a piece of osmanthus cake and taste it carefully.
Speaking of which, Lu Xianger's favorite thing to eat is this osmanthus cake. When she was in Qinghe Village, Lu Erniang took Lu Xianger and Lu Hong to live a hard life. And the time that made Lu Xianger the happiest was the osmanthus cake that Lu Erniang brought back to her when she came back from the county.
Thinking about life at that time, Lu Xianger took a sip of tea and ate a bite of osmanthus cake, but she almost spit out the crushed almonds inside. And when Lu Xiang'er lowered her head, she didn't notice Li Xingzhou's sudden gaze. The gaze was like an unsheathed sword, sharp and intimidating.
When Lu Hong and Lu Xiang'er raised their heads when they felt something, they found that Li Xingzhou was still the same as before. When Lu Hong, who was strange in his heart, looked at Lu Xiang'er again, his face changed. Under the table, Lu Hong gently touched Lu Xiang'er's feet, and then looked at the almond crumbs on the table.
Lu Xiang'er looked down, and immediately blushed, and her expression was a little embarrassed. When she just ate osmanthus cake, she actually forgot that it was the loyal and brave prince in front of her. Instead, like at home, he spit out the almonds he didn't like to eat, which was one of Lu Xianger's 'quirks' when eating osmanthus cake.
But the osmanthus cake in front of him was brought by Li Xingzhou, and it was already a reward for the elders to let the two juniors taste it. Lu Xiang'er still spit out some almonds, which seemed to be too bad for Li Xingzhou. Lu Xiang'er immediately got up, bent down to Li Xingzhou, and said softly: "Please forgive Xiang'er for her rude behavior......
Li Xingzhou waved his hand indifferently and said directly: "Get up." Even if I'm a prince, I can't force you to eat something you don't like to eat. ”
What the prince said is very true, Xiang'er has liked to eat this osmanthus cake since she was a child, but she doesn't like to eat the almonds in it. Every time, she would involuntarily spit it out. Seeing that Li Xingzhou didn't care, Lu Hong was relieved and immediately explained to Lu Xiang'er.
Li Xingzhou nodded again and again, but when Song Beiqiao was drinking tea, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. Thinking of Li Xingxiu, who took the initiative to come to the door today, the doubts in Song Beiqiao's eyes became heavier. When his gaze fell on the osmanthus cake again, he was suddenly stunned, and then Song Beiqiao's face showed a shocked look, and he looked at Lu Xiang'er.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the room: "Lord Wang, Grandpa Lao Guo, the little lady of Chaoxia is here......"
"Let her in." Li Xingzhou straightened up and looked at the door. Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong also didn't notice the change in Song Beiqiao's expression in an instant because of the arrival of Chaoxia.
As the door opened, a cold morning glow entered. Looking at Chaoxia's demeanor, Li Xingzhou blinked his eyes and whispered to himself with some emotion: "It's too similar, it's too similar......"
Song Beiqiao's heart moved, but he said loudly: "Chaoxia is here, let's eat, this warm pot has been boiling for a while, it's just the right time." ”
"yes, don't be so polite." Startled by Song Beiqiao's voice, Li Xingzhou restrained his expression and did not show his emotions.
Song Beiqiao introduced Li Xingzhou beside Chaoxia again, and then motioned for her to sit down too. Although Chaoxia is very strange, Song Beiqiao and Li Xingzhou, the king of loyalty, will have dinner with the three of them. There was no show on his face, and he didn't ask Lu Xiang'er about it, but sat quietly next to Lu Xiang'er.
may be because Song Beiqiao and Li Xingzhou are here, and Lu Xianger and the three of them eat very tightly. And the two elders seem to have something on their minds, and they talk a lot less. The meal was quiet and a little depressing.
After Lu Xiang'er, Lu Hong, and Chaoxia put down their chopsticks one after another, Song Beiqiao said: "It's really embarrassing for you to let your three juniors accompany me and the two old ones to eat." After eating, go back, the province is not comfortable sitting here. ”
Lu Xiang'er and the three of them were really uncomfortable, even if they had just eaten, they were not full. At this time, Song Beiqiao gave a step down, and the three of them immediately got up and said goodbye and left the hot pot shop. And after the door was closed by the middle-aged man brought by Li Xingzhou, Song Beiqiao immediately turned his head to Li Xingzhou.
"You don't want to walk with me today, as you said before." Song Beiqiao's face was very serious, and he still had a bit of an attitude that was not angry and arrogant.
Li Xingzhou was not affected by Song Beiqiao at all, picked up a piece of osmanthus cake, and said softly: "It's not that you haven't seen Yu'er, don't you think Chaoxia is very similar to Yu'er......"
