Chapter 679: Are You ...... My Father?
Fried fragrant green onions, the kitchen was filled with the smell of chives, Zhang Xianliang watched Xiao Man fish out the white noodles and put them in a bowl, and then poured hot oil on them, the taste was simply amazing.
Zhang Xianliang, who was accustomed to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, "What kind of noodles is this, girl." ”
Xiao Man took the chopsticks to mix noodles, and the mix was getting hard, and he didn't want to pay attention to that Zhang Xianliang at all, and now if someone dares to delay Xiao Man to eat noodles, Xiao Man can fight with him.
It's a pity that Zhang Xianliang didn't notice Xiaoman's expression at all, and continued to ask very blindly: "This noodle made by the girl is really fragrant, it makes people drool when they smell it...... ”
"Shut up......." Xiaoman said impatiently.
"Purr...... Snore....... Only the sound of Xiaoman eating was left, Xiaoman quickly finished eating a bowl, picked up chopsticks and continued to fight for the second bowl, at this time Zhang Xianliang couldn't help but stretch his neck to look into the pot, thinking that Xiaoman must give himself some leftovers, because the taste is really drooling.
"Girl, you see that you came to my house, there is nothing to entertain, so late to let the girl come to our kitchen to cook and eat by yourself, it is really not good for our family, but I didn't expect the girl's craftsmanship to be so good, even a bowl of noodles is better than what our kitchen chef makes...... I'm a little embarrassed to say it, I feel hungry just by smelling it...... Hehe....... ”
Xiao Manre couldn't help but feel in his heart, hehe, this is a roundabout thing to give him a bowl of noodles, our family, to our kitchen, isn't this just a reminder that what I eat now is their family, forget it, I also eat and drink all this day at their house, isn't it just a bowl of noodles, anyway, I am full, anyway, there is not much left for him, it doesn't matter.
"Give...... Divide half of it, it's all made of your family's stuff anyway, ....... ”
Zhang Xianliang smiled, took the bowl from Xiaoman's hands with both hands, and kept saying, "Thank you so much for the girl's ......, I have a blessing today." ”
Xiaoman even clearly heard Zhang Xianliang's spittle, thinking that this old man really wanted to eat this noodle.
"Purr...... Snore....... "The only sound left in the kitchen was the sound of two people eating noodles.
The cold Xiaoman asked, "The one who was knocked out by you was from Chuyun Kingdom?" ”
Zhang Xianliang stopped his movements immediately, originally thinking that Xiaoman hadn't heard the conversation between the two of them, but now it seems that .......
"If you don't say it, it's tantamount to acquiescence."
"You sold all the grain of our Great Xia Dynasty to the Chuyun Kingdom?"
Zhang Xianliang still didn't speak, but the shock in his heart could be seen from his expression.
Without waiting for him to speak, Xiao Man still said: "If you don't speak, that's a tacit acquiescence, I'm asking you, do you know that fornicating with other places is a big crime of the Jiu clan...... do you want your Zhang family to be exterminated?" ”
Xiaoman still eats noodles with his back to Zhang Xianliang, but his movements are very slow, and he seems to be careless.
Zhang Xianliang gently put down the bowl in his hand, picked up the burning stick on the side with one hand, the iron was heavy, and the other end was burning red at the bottom of the pot.
Xiao Man sneered, "Why does Master Zhang want to kill people?" ”
Holding the burning stick tightly, Zhang Xianliang hesitated a little, and asked vigilantly, "Who is the girl?" ”
"It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is whether you want to be liberated or not, I don't think Master Zhang is particularly willing to cooperate with Chu Yunguo, how about we have a good talk."
Xiao Man put down the dishes and chopsticks, turned his head with a faint smile, and stared at Zhang Xianliang's eyes.
"Who is the girl sacred?"
"My name is Xiao Man......."
"Little Man......." Zhang Xianliang was thinking in his brain, the name Xiaoman didn't seem to have been heard of before, and he didn't seem to be a famous person.
Xiaoman looked at Zhang Xianliang and then picked up his bowl. "Master Zhang, the noodles are almost cold, let's talk about things while it's hot."
This time Zhang Xianliang didn't say anything, the burning stick in his hand was put back on the ground, in fact, Zhang Xianliang had long wanted to get rid of the control of Chu Yun Guo, but because he had no chance, and his weakness was held in his hands, Zhang Xianliang never dared to make a move, so he put Zhang Song in charge of all the business related to Chu Yun Guo, and he didn't bother to ask if he could.
Yesterday was the day of trading with Chu Yunguo, Zhang Song did not show up The manager of the store came to the door, and Zhang Xianliang learned that Zhang Song had killed someone and was arrested and imprisoned.
Hearing this news, Zhang Xianliang knew that someone would definitely come to the door today, this time it was an accident I thought that the Chuyun Kingdom could be accommodating and give a few days of grace, but I didn't expect this Chuyun Kingdom to become even more intensified, so that they could get together within two days, Zhang Xianliang felt that they were going to die in Cui himself.
Zhang Xianliang thought of what happened today, and couldn't help but sigh deeply, he really didn't want to be as upside down as before when he was older, and his family was finally comforted, and it had only been three generations since he multiplied, and he didn't want their family to be exterminated in his own hands.
"What's the matter, Master Zhang, is there anything you're worried about?" Xiaoman ate a round belly, and then put down the dishes and chopsticks, very satisfied.
Zhang Xianliang stared at Xiao Man, and then seemed to have made up his mind, "Girl, I am willing to tell you, as long as the girl can save our family." ”
"Master Zhang is serious, I can't save you myself, it's up to Master Zhang."
"The girl's kitchen is not the place to talk about things, and I ask the girl to move to my study."
"Okay, then I won't clean it up here."
"Of course you don't need the girl to clean it up, please ......."
On the way to the study again, Xiao Man deliberately asked Zhang Xianliang to make a detour to the person from Chuyun Kingdom who had been stunned before.
It's a pity that he can't even see a ghost shadow, Zhang Xianliang looked anxious, "What should I do?" What to do? It's okay now, it's over, it's definitely over...... it's over. ”
"Hey, Master Zhang, what's the hurry, what does he know, he knows everything, he thought it was a female ghost ...... you saw it together before."
Zhang Xianliang repeated: "Yes, he doesn't know anything, and he hasn't figured out ...... at all." ”
Xiaoman is really the first time to see someone decorate their study like this, luxurious and extraordinary, just that
The dark red desk and chair, Xiao Manjue's world is so big, but such a large golden silk nanmu is really rare.
When Zhang Xianliang politely asked Xiao Man to sit down, Xiao Man sat down directly on the main seat very unceremoniously.
"This chair made of golden silk nanmu feels really different."
"If the girl likes it, I'll give her a set."
"That's embarrassing, by the way, I want a beauty, I don't like to share good things with others......."
Zhang Xianliang listened to Xiaoman's words, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, this girl's behavior and style of doing things are really quite surprising, he was really just polite just now, I didn't expect people to really take it seriously, and it really can't be true, Zhang Xianliang can't wait to pump a few big mouths of himself, in the face of this Xiaoman, he really can't say kind words anymore, and the last person who suffers is the one who says kind words.
"Master Zhang, I don't like to beat around the bush when I talk and do things, so I hope we can be honest with each other and say anything."
"The good girl is really a cheerful person, so I will say it directly, since the girl is unwilling to tell the old man her true identity, then the old man will not ask more, but I have a few questions I hope the girl can answer truthfully."
"You talk about it first, and I'll answer what I can."
"The girl really doesn't leak when she speaks, so I'll just say it directly, if something happens to our family, can the girl protect my son and daughter?"
"If your son and daughter hadn't been involved, I think it would be fine."
"Well, if I join forces with the girl, will the girl be able to deal with the gang of people in the Chuyun Kingdom, and will they be able to protect us?"
"I didn't say I wanted to join forces with you, huh...... If the stakes are big enough, the old man behind me will definitely be willing to help. ”
When Zhang Xianliang heard this, he naturally knew in his heart, and knew that there must be a master behind this Xiaoman, but he was still not at ease and asked again: "I don't know what the power of the old man behind you is?" ”
"You can rest assured about this, you want money, power, and manpower."
Zhang Xianliang was overjoyed, this matter has been bothering him for a long time, and he has almost become a sleepless torment of his heart disease, they have finally come to this day, and they don't want to be ruined in his hands, he knows that something will happen sooner or later if this goes on like this, after all, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and the Zhang family has been too famous in recent years, and it has long been targeted.
"I hope the girl is a trustworthy person, and I will entrust the names of dozens of people in our Zhang family to the girl, and I will tell the girl the truth of the matter."
"I'm listening."
"Our Zhang family was an incense family fifty years ago, at that time in Chuyun Country specifically made incense for the royal family, those decades were when our Zhang family gained fame and fortune, our Zhang family produced a genius incense maker, maybe it was too public, it was jealous and worried, and the spice dedicated to the emperor's eldest son had a problem, and as a result, the emperor's eldest son committed an old disease, and the emperor's eldest son suffocated to death......."
"Suffocation, a spice can suffocate people, does the emperor's eldest son have any hidden diseases?"
"I don't know, at that time, I just knew that the eldest son of the emperor couldn't smell the rich flowers and plants......."
"Oh, I know, that emperor's eldest son must have asthma ......, asthma is more troublesome than people, and he can't smell irritating smells."
"I didn't expect the girl to know how to use medicine, if my great-grandfather also understood, it would be good if he wouldn't be unjustly killed, our Zhang family was sentenced to nine clans, thanks to my great-grandfather at that time there was a loyal servant, he used his grandson, replaced my grandfather, my grandfather was able to escape, leaving a bloodline for our Zhang family...... After many years, the incense made by our family was still recognized by the nobles of the Chuyun Kingdom, and they found us. ”
Zhang Xianliang said it lightly, but Xiaoman imagined what their family experienced at that time.
"At that time, it was my grandfather who was in charge of the house, one day my brothers and I were studying new spices in the incense-making workshop, my grandfather gathered all of us that day, and from that day on, my grandfather set up a family motto, and since then the descendants of the Zhang family have not been able to make incense, and my grandfather has people smash all the things related to incense making in the workshop, and burn all the incense-making formulas"
Old tears, Zhang Xianliang never thought that one day he would talk about the past of the family to a girl he didn't know, and he didn't expect that after so many years, he still couldn't let go of this matter, "Girl, do you know what it's like for a person to give up what he loves the most, I felt that there was no ......point in living here." ”
When Zhang Xianliang was reminiscing with Xiaoman, there was a knock on the door outside, and Zhang Xianliang and Xiaoman's first reaction was to find a place to hide, neither of them knew why they were hiding.
Xiao Man opened the cabinet and originally planned to get in, "Why?" Why should I hide, I didn't do anything unseemly...... ”
"Daddy...... Are you in there? ”
Zhang Xianliang also panicked, in fact, he didn't know what he was panicking about, maybe because he looked embarrassed now and didn't want his son to see it.
"Dad, are you there? I'm in, I have something to discuss with you. ”
"I'm busy there, I'll talk about it tomorrow."
"Dad, I think I have to tell you something, or I won't be able to sleep tonight."
When Xiao Man heard this, he remembered that he was starving, and immediately became angry, walked to the door angrily, and opened the door, which really scared Zhang Xianzong outside the door.
"Daddy...... Ay...... How are you in my daddy's study? ”
Before Xiaoman could speak, Zhang Xianzong began to use his imagination.
"Are you ...... my father?"
