Cheng Xi gritted his teeth when he heard this, and said fiercely, "Why are you so shameless? ”

Xu Wenqiang on the side also hated tightly, he is not a person who is affectionate, in the past few years, the stumbling things that have happened have long since worn out the little family affection he has left for the Xu family, only when those people are his enemies, where do you remember that they are relatives who are related by blood, after hearing Cheng Xi's words, he added fuel to the fire and said, "So, since you are back, you can't easily spare them, it's better to let them come to us with nothing, and we won't give him anything." ”

On the side, Ma Shi heard his man speak so ruthlessly, but he was worried that others would think too much, so he secretly kicked Xu Wenqiang and signaled him not to say anything.

Xu Wenqiang had already said everything he should have said, but he obediently closed his mouth and didn't speak again.

Cheng Xi and Xu Sanlang didn't answer their words, Xu Sanlang patted Cheng Xi, who was flushed, and said softly, "Let's go to Shiqiao Village tomorrow." ”

Cheng Xi nodded, thinking that the second brother and the fourth brother had already gone back, and the eldest brother couldn't follow them back to see in order to escort them to Lihua Village, so he opened his mouth and said to the guards waiting on the side, "You go and talk to General Cheng, so that he doesn't have to be busy, and leave these things to Ah Wen and Ah Yi, and he should go back to Shiqiao Village earlier." ”

The guard turned around and left, and went to find General Cheng, who had settled 2,000 soldiers.

Everyone else looked puzzled, and Xu Dalang asked, "That General Cheng?" ”

Cheng Xi replied with a smile, "I forgot to tell you, the eldest brother of my uncle's family, Cheng Hong didn't go to the army at the beginning, but this time he has made a great contribution, and now he is a third-grade general." ”

Xu Wenqiang and the others widened their eyes, and said in disbelief, "That kid has been out for many years and hasn't returned, and he actually became a general, it's really amazing." ”

After speaking, Xu Wenqiang looked at Xu Dalang, and said with some hatred, "Look at how many people have a lot of money, you will become a general after a few years of going out, and then look at your little interest, you almost starved to death in that poor ravine." ”

Ma glared at Xu Wenqiang dissatisfiedly and scolded, "What are you talking nonsense about? Do you think the general is so good? That's in exchange for your life, you rarely become a general, you should go yourself, I am reluctant to let my son be a soldier, that is a life of licking blood on the knife edge, think about General Xue's side, start a war, good boy, if you say no, it will be gone. ”

Xu Wenqiang listened to Ma's words, but he also obediently closed his mouth, it seems that this is to take refuge with General Xue Xiao, he should have gained a lot of knowledge, and he has also seen the cruelty of this war.

After the family, Ah Yixin bought the subordinates, and when they went out to take refuge, they were almost dispersed, Aunt Cui and Aunt Qin went to the kitchen to cook for everyone, Cheng Xin got up and said hello, and planned to go to the kitchen to help, and Ma Shi was also busy giving the child to Liu's and got up.

Cheng Xi thought that he hadn't cooked for a long time, and he was afraid that there were too many people and a few of them would be too busy, so he also got up, let them talk, and followed him to the kitchen.

Xu Lan also wanted to follow, but was stopped by Cheng Xi, with such a big belly, she didn't worry that she would go to the kitchen for you to help, but thinking that her belly was so big for six months, she still had to find a doctor to take a good look, but don't be troubled by dystocia.

A few people went to the kitchen, Cheng Xin was also curious to ask about their situation in Jiangnan, Cheng Xi picked a good one to tell them, the group was busy in the kitchen, Cheng Xi used to cook when he was at home before, he often cooked and ate, since he went to Jiangnan with Xu Sanlang, it was rare to make a move, this time he came back and became a chef, and everyone else gave her a hand, Aunt Cui only smiled and said that everyone has a good mouth again, her own wife's craftsmanship, she is very clear, even if she is a veteran who often enters the kitchen, In terms of cooking skills, he is also a big step behind his wife.

While busy, Cheng Xi sighed and said, "Originally, I wanted to entertain the two thousand people who escorted us back, but now that it has become like this, how can we entertain it." ”

Cheng Xin sighed, "Hey, many people in the village raise pigs, see which ones are willing to sell, buy more meat for them to eat." ”

Aunt Qin opened her mouth and responded, "Madam, don't worry, Ah Wen and they will definitely not starve everyone." ”

Cheng Xi nodded and responded, "It's only like this, hmph, I'll send it to Anyang County tomorrow and let Xu Wenyu Zhang Luo go." ”

Cheng Xin looked at Cheng Xi and asked suspiciously, "Are you really going to let him go like this?" ”

Cheng Xi responded, "How is it possible?" Don't worry, since you're back, you have to clean him up slowly. And as smart as Xu Wenyu, since he still dares to stay in Anyang County, he must have left a way out for himself, I want to cut off his retreat and let him taste nothing. ”

Cheng Xin looked at Cheng Xi and asked suspiciously, "What else can he leave for himself?" ”

Cheng Xi pursed his lips and responded, "A cunning person like him, he must have amassed a lot of money in the past few years as an official, as long as he has money, even if Da Zhou can't tolerate him, he can still find a way to escape to Daxia Daliao, I don't want to give him such an opportunity, I must let him spit out all his money and let him have nothing." ”

Cheng Xin looked at Cheng Xi in surprise and asked, "How did you think of that?" ”

Cheng Xi pursed his lips, "Empathy." ”

Afraid that Cheng Xin wouldn't understand, he explained to her again, "Think about it from his position, if I were him, what would I do, and I will know." ”

A few people were busy in the kitchen, and soon a plate of delicious food was on the table.

The people in the room were very greedy when they smelled the smell, and Yu Zhaocai almost began to drool, looking at the food on the table greedily, and said excitedly, "As soon as you smell it, you know that it is Xi'er's craftsmanship, since you eat Xi'er's cooked food, no matter how delicious the food is, Xi'er, your cooking skills are unparalleled in the world." ”

Cheng Xi on the side glanced at Yu Zhaocai and replied unceremoniously, "What is the idea of wearing such a high hat for me?" ”

Yu Zhaocai replied with a smile, "Doesn't this mean that you cook a few more times, and I will also take it with you?" ”

Xu Saburo on the side heard Yu Zhaocai's words, and said unceremoniously, "I want to eat and make it myself." ”

Yu Zhaocai touched his nose stupidly, "If I can make this taste, I will make it myself." ”

Cheng Xi followed Aunt Cui and the others to arrange the meal together, and was about to greet everyone to dinner, when they saw the eldest brother Cheng Hong and Ah Yi coming in from outside.

Cheng Xi looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "Big brother, didn't you go back?" ”

Cheng Hong shook his head, "I'll wait until tomorrow to send the two thousand soldiers away." ”

Cheng Xi was not reluctant, anyway, he had two months of vacation, and he was not in a hurry, so he beckoned him to come over for dinner first.

Ah Yi looked at the food on the table and was greedy, but he didn't have time to eat, he just sent Cheng Hong over, and he had to help Ah Wen settle those soldiers.

Cheng Xin looked at Ah Yi's appearance and said funny, "Don't worry, I'll keep it for you in the kitchen, and I'll come back to eat when I'm done." ”

Xu Sanlang looked at Ah Yi and asked, "Can it be arranged?" ”

Ah Yi nodded and replied, "Don't worry, master, my subordinates will be busy first." ”

Ah Yi Awen did things, Xu Sanlang was relieved, nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

Cheng Xi and his party were busy on the road, and they ate some dry food on the way, and they were indeed hungry, and then looked at this table of delicious food, they were even more hungry.

Cheng Hong looked at such a scene, he was not only surprised, but also felt warm in his heart, after wandering outside all these years, he finally experienced a trace of the warmth of home, and he was even more surprised after tasting the food that Cheng Xi was sitting on, when did this girl go to learn cooking, and these dishes, there are many places where she has traveled from south to north, but she has never seen it.

After eating and drinking, the group talked in the house for a while, and the sky was completely dark, and then they went back to the house to rest.

The original small courtyard is gone, and Cheng Xi and Xu Sanlang live in a small bungalow that Aunt Cui cleaned up for them before, although it is simple, but it is good that the house is cleaned up.

The weather was hot, Aunt Cui was very considerate and boiled hot water, let people pick it up and send it to them, and lay on the bed after washing, Cheng Xi replied helplessly, "A good small building, just built up, all of them were demolished, I really can't wait to pick up Xu Wenyu's skin." ”

Xu Sanlang, who had just washed up, went to bed and hugged Cheng Xi into his arms, and comforted, "Okay, don't be angry about this, didn't you still want to build a beautiful house by yourself before?" Take advantage of this opportunity to plan a little more and cover it up. ”

Cheng Xi nodded, "Okay, sleep, I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

Xu Sanlang knew that Cheng Xi was tired and tight from riding in the carriage during this time, although he wanted to make love with Cheng Xi, he was still reluctant to toss her, anyway, he went back home, and there would be opportunities in the future.

Early the next morning, the leader of the two thousand elite soldiers integrated the team and prepared to leave for Beijing, Cheng Xi still wanted to toss Xu Wenyu well, how could he be willing to let them go like this, and let Xu Sanlang give them an order, they must go to Anyang County to find the county order, and then stay for two days before leaving.

Cheng Xi understood their hard work along the way, and promised to help them go to Anyang County to live for two days, although the imperial court gave them military salaries, Cheng Xi was still generous and sent some silver money to one of them, although it was not much, two thousand people is not a small number, most of these people will also settle accounts, and they are very grateful.

After sending off those soldiers, Cheng Xi was ready to go back to her parents' house to have a look, she brought a lot of things when she came back this time, a few carriages, and bought a lot for the Cheng family, so she planned to send them over today, and at the same time, she also wanted to reassure them that there would be no more trouble in the future, and the Cheng family would be able to live in Shiqiao Village in peace in the future
