Chapter 211: General Xue

This idea came out, which frightened Cheng Xi a lot, and then caused Cheng Xi to fail to reply to the middle-aged man in time, but looked at the middle-aged man in a daze.

Xu Sanlang on the side frowned slightly, his expression was a little colder, he answered for Cheng Xi, and said to the man who was still staring at Cheng Xi in a tone that was not very good for her, "I don't know how Your Excellency thinks the lady below is familiar?" ”

In this obviously sarcastic tone, the middle-aged man also seemed to have discovered his own inappropriateness, and hurriedly said to the two of them, "It's reckless in the next, only Your Excellency's wife is too similar to the next old man, so I asked this question, I'm really sorry for the faux pas." ”

After speaking, this person gave a fist to Xu Sanlang and Cheng Xi again.

This is Cheng Xi also came back to his senses slightly, frowned slightly, and asked, "I don't know who this uncle is talking about?" ”

Suddenly called uncle, the man was still a little stunned, and then slightly estimated Cheng Xi's grade, it is quite appropriate to call himself an uncle, and it sounds very kind, so he said with a smile, "Actually, it's not an old man, it's a sister, and she looks very similar to you, so I recklessly asked." ”

Xu Sanlang also seemed to have found some clues, carefully looked at the man in front of him, and then looked at Cheng Xi with some worry, Seeing that Cheng Xi did not have a bad expression on his face, he was relieved.

But Cheng Xi was still inquiring, "Is the uncle's sister here?" ”

The man didn't expect Cheng Xi to ask like this, so he was stunned for a moment before he smiled and continued to respond, "It's coming, I originally planned to come out to accompany my sister to relax, but my sister didn't like to go out and didn't come here to attend the dinner." ”

Cheng Xi replied regretfully, "That's a pity, I still want to see if my uncle's sister really looks like me." ”

The man always felt that this little girl was very kind, and when he heard her such a regretful tone, he couldn't help but not want to disappoint her, so he actually said, "That's the case, why don't you go to our yard tomorrow as a guest?" ”

Then he seemed to feel that it was a little inappropriate to say this, and then said very apologetically, "It's mainly my sister's temperament, I really don't like to go out, otherwise I can take my sister to visit." ”

Cheng Xi waved his hand, "It's okay, you live in that small building, we will definitely come to the door tomorrow to disturb you." ”

The man replied, "Mochizuki Tower." ”

Cheng Xi heard this name, and thought it was very good, but he didn't know which one it was, but when he went back and asked Hua Gu, he would know.

The man found himself patronizing and talking to the little girl, but he forgot that the man next to the little girl should not be very old, but the momentum around him should not be underestimated, and his intuition told him that this young man was afraid that he was not an ordinary person, and when he talked to the little girl just now, the man's tone and attitude were not too good, and he was afraid that he regarded himself as a frivolous person.

And at this time, he has been silent and looks at himself, what does it mean?

Thinking like this in his heart, he greeted the two with a friendly smile on his face, "I don't know the surnames of the little boy and the little lady, where do they live?" ”

Cheng Xi was about to answer, but he didn't want Xu Sanlang to answer this time, "Zhou Zihao, insider Xu Xi, fortunately." ”

The man was slightly stunned before he spoke, "Let's just say that the son looks like the dragon and phoenix among the people, it turns out to be the eldest prince of Jiangnan, and he is in Xue Cheng, and he will be lucky." ”

Xu Sanlang felt a little regretful in his heart at this time, originally he just wanted to hide Cheng Xide's identity for the time being, so he answered him like this, but he didn't expect to directly expose his identity, but now that this is the case, Xu Sanlang regretted it and only used it, so he had to return the same salute and responded, "It turned out to be General Xue Xiao of the border city, fortunately." ”

Cheng Xi was still confused when he heard the conversation between the two at first, but he quickly thought of it, his eyes narrowed slightly and he looked at it a few more times, and then he returned to normal, and then Cheng Xi remained mostly silent, leaving only Xu Sanlang and Xue Cheng to have a word of greeting.

And from the conversation between the two, Cheng Xi knew that this person was the general of the border guards outside Huai'an City, and he was also the Xue family.

Unconsciously, Cheng Xi followed them to the front to find a place to sit down, and Xue Chengcheng was sitting at a table next to him, still talking to Xu Sanlang, and after a while, Cheng Xi heard the mutual temptation in the words.

"Shouldn't the eldest prince be in Jiangnan? I didn't expect to see the eldest prince in this cloud city. ”

Xu Sanlang pursed his lips and replied, "Isn't General Xue Xiao supposed to be in the military camp outside Huai'an City, isn't he here now?" ”

Xue Cheng's eyes were slightly mountainous, and he responded, "I am also busy in the next place, so I can bring my sister here to take a look, only the eldest son comes to this Cloud City, but there is something to do?" ”

Xu Saburo didn't hide his past at all, and said directly, "General Xue should know that I didn't grow up in Jiangnan, this was originally my hometown, isn't it normal to come back?" ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Xue Cheng's eyes, and he tried to ask, "Does the eldest prince plan to go back to Jiangnan?" ”

Xu Saburo replied, "I never thought about it. ”

Xue Cheng was still in shock when he heard Xu Sanlang's answer, but Xu Sanlang opened his mouth and asked, "What about General Xue, the border guard, how can he have the opportunity to be busy?" ”

Cheng Xi heard Xu Sanlang's inquiry, of course he knew what Xu Sanlang wanted to inquire, and at this time he also pricked up his ears and waited for Xue Cheng's answer, perhaps because of Xu Sanlang's uprightness and unconcealment, Xue Cheng actually did not hesitate to tell them the answer they wanted to know.

Hearing Xue Cheng answer, "The eldest brother brought his sister to visit the border, and while the eldest brother was at the border, he had the opportunity to take his sister out for a spin." ”

Xu Sanlang Cheng Xi heard Xue Cheng's answer, and knew in his heart that Xu Wenyu went to Huai'an City, and he really went to see the Xue family.

Xue Cheng and Xu Sanlang were still inquiring and trying to come and go, Cheng Xi sat obediently and listened, and after a while, someone came over to say hello, the so-called dinner party of poetry and poetry, of course, was to talk about some poetry and poetry, but Xu Sanlang and Cheng Xi were really impatient to discuss these messy things with these people.

Cheng Xi felt that this dinner was not interesting, so he leaned into Xu Sanlang's ear and whispered, and then Xu Sanlang greeted Xue Cheng and a few people behind him, "The insider is unwell, so I will leave first, and everyone will talk slowly." ”

Those people looked at Cheng Xi, who was leaning on Xu Sanlang on the side, and politely said a few words of compliments such as "The son is a good blessing" and "The two are a match made in heaven", and then let the two leave.

When leaving, Xue Cheng did not forget to remind the two, "Tomorrow at noon, I will wait for the two drivers." ”

Ah Ju had been waiting at the door, and when she saw the two of them, she asked, "Aren't you waiting for our master to come?" ”

Cheng Xi shook his head, "I'm a little unwell, let's go back." ”

That Ah Ju didn't say anything more, took a lighting portable lantern in the hand of the little guy at the door, led the way in front, and the group went back to the small building, and when they arrived at the door of the small building, Cheng Xi remembered that she didn't know the name of the building, but the handwriting on the tall building sign at night was not clear, Cheng Xi simply asked Ah Ju on the side, "What is the name of this small building?" ”

Ah Ju Shili opened his mouth and responded, "Mrs. Yu, the name of this building is Fengbo Pavilion. ”

Cheng Xi pursed the corners of his lips and responded, "The names of these small buildings are elegant. I also thought in my heart, this storm pavilion is probably named because of the pavilion on the lake.

Thinking of the Moon Tower, where Xue Cheng was, Cheng Xi asked again, "Is the Moon Tower far from here?" ”

Ah Ju responded, "It's a little farther than the distance to Yaju." ”

Cheng Xi nodded, and at this time, several people had already entered the house, and Ah Yi saw two people coming in, and hurriedly came over to give a salute, "Master, madam." ”

Xu Saburo looked at Ah Wu, "Something?" ”

Ah Wu was stunned, then shook his head, and Xu Saburo answered, "It's okay, don't dangle in front of me anymore." ”

Ah Wu looked at the back of the master pulling his wife upstairs with a resentful face, and felt very sad, "Why does the master dislike him so much?" ”

If you don't get to him, you can comfort yourself, thinking that I will be a guard with Mrs. in the future anyway, Mrs. will not dislike him, and I will call him to the table to eat today, so after thinking about it, the resentment and sadness in my heart will be swept away again.

Cheng Xi and Xu Saburo went upstairs, because it was already evening when they ate, and it was almost dinner, Hua Gu asked the two if they wanted to eat supper, Xu Sanlang Cheng Xi was not hungry, shook his head, and Hua Gu waited for the two to wash up briefly, and then went downstairs to leave.

The upstairs by the lake is also the same as the downstairs, all of them are openable windows, and when they are opened, they can see the outside view, because it is already night, all the windows have been closed, and only the slightly larger one is still open.

It was still early at the moment, and Cheng Xi couldn't sleep, so he simply went to the soft collapse next to the bed and looked at the night scene of the lake outside, which should have been pitch black at night, but the situation in front of Cheng Xi was not like this.

Looking at the faintly mottled light and shadow on the lake not far away, the lotus pond on the lake is exquisitely illuminated, and those lights and shadows are reflected in the water, with the rippling waves on the lake surface, Cheng Xi couldn't help but sigh, "The boss of this fairy dock is really attentive, even at night, you can have such a view." ”

Xu Sanlang also came to Cheng Xi's side, sat on the soft collapse under Cheng Xi, squeezed Cheng Xi in, and then leaned on the soft collapse, Cheng Xi hugged him into his arms, and then looked at the scenery on the lake outside, and responded softly, "This place is really good, but unfortunately this boss is afraid that he will not be willing to sell, otherwise he can move here." ”

Cheng Xi turned his head and glanced at Xu Sanlang, and complained, "Why do you think you have become a nouveau riche after you come back?" ”

Xu Sanlang stretched out his hand and scratched Cheng Xide's nose, and said with a smile, "If I am, aren't you too?" ”

Cheng Xi pursed his mouth, looked out the window again, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Who is this Xue Cheng from Old General Xue?" ”

Xu Sanlang responded, "General Xue's concubine is the son who is the most gratifying to General Xue, because he has finally inherited his hope and continues to be a military general to guard the territory of the Great Zhou." ”

Cheng Xi continued to ask, "What about his eldest brother?" Xu Wenyu went to Huai'an City because he was the eldest brother who saw Xue Cheng, right? ”

Xu Sanlang said, "His eldest brother Xue Weiguo, that is, the eldest son of General Xue, stayed in the capital as a minister, he is the father of Empress Xue, that is, the national abbot, and the right prime minister. ”

Cheng Xi sighed when he heard this, "The character who covers the sky with one hand." ”

Xu Saburo responded, "That's not that capable, and there is Prime Minister Zhao Cheng." ”

Cheng Xi learned about the situation of the Xue family for a while before he spoke to the topic, "Do you think this Xue Cheng Xue is a little familiar?" ”

Xu Saburo took a closer look at Cheng Xi's expression, and saw that there was nothing abnormal in Cheng Xi's expression, so he nodded and responded, "He seems to be a little similar to your second brother Cheng Chen." ”

Cheng Xi said excitedly, "And Xue Cheng said that his sister looks very similar to me, so I couldn't help but come over to talk, do you say that my mother who is said to have disappeared and eloped has anything to do with them?" ”
