Chapter 411: Greet the team
Xu Sanlang was silent for a while before he spoke, "Two thousand elite soldiers are stationed outside the city, so they won't enter the city, and they will leave for Anyang County early tomorrow morning." ”
Cheng Hong hugged his fists and went to make arrangements.
Xu Sanlang took Cheng Xi and continued to walk forward, Cheng Xi sat in front of Xu Sanlang, looked at the densely pressed group of strangers in front of him, frowned slightly and said, "Why are we dealing with a group of strangers." ”
Xu Sanlang put his arm around Cheng Xi's hand and patted the back of Cheng Xi's hand comfortingly, and explained, "We will stay in Anyang County in the future, and we have to deal with the guards of Yuncheng. ”
What Xu Sanlang said was very reasonable, Cheng Xi didn't think about it, he just went home and wanted to see if his family was okay, but he didn't expect this layer, after hearing Xu Sanlang's analysis, he also felt that Xu Sanlang's approach was quite right, but he couldn't help but laugh at him twice, "Yo, when did our cold-faced young master know the current affairs so well?" ”
Xu Sanlang lowered his head, rested his head on Cheng Xi's shoulder, chuckled in Cheng Xi's ear and whispered, "This is also thanks to the lady's teaching." ”
Cheng Xi responded with a smile, "Your mouth is really getting poorer and poorer." ”
Xu Saburo responded, "It's also the credit of the lady." ”
Cheng Xi rolled his eyes speechlessly, too lazy to continue to talk to Xu Sanlang.
The two of them took the lead in front of a group of Yuncheng officials, led by the governor of Yuncheng, and knelt down in the dark, shouting in their mouths, "The ministers have seen the eldest prince and the eldest princess." ”
Xu Sanlang got off the horse first, and then got out of the carriage with Cheng Xi in his arms, and then answered coldly, "Get up." ”
At the speed of changing his face, Cheng Xi complained silently in his heart, and he was joking with himself just now, and this blink of an eye has become a cold-faced god again.
The Governor of Cloud City, Wei Wei, stepped forward with a flattering smile, "His Royal Highness the Great Prince, the Governor of Yuncheng Wei Wang Yue, has just taken office, and I hope His Highness will take care of him in the future. ”
Xu Saburo nodded and responded, "It's hard work, lead the way ahead." ”
Hearing the great prince's face, the smile on the face of the governor Wei Wang Yue was even stronger, and he was busy leading the way in front, and halfway through the walk, he found that the escort team stopped, and when he inquired, he heard that he was directly stationed outside the city, and he was busy and diligently ordered to go down, and let people send food and drink.
Cheng Xi frowned slightly, such a flattering Cloud City Governor always made her feel that she was not a good person.
When they followed into Cloud City, looking at the pomp and circumstance of this banquet, they felt that this governor's guard was not good, Cheng Xi leaned into Xu Sanlang's ear and whispered, "This girl is definitely a corrupt official, weren't you in the Great Purge before?" Why did you get such a governor guard to come to Cloud City? ”
Xu Sanlang reluctantly whispered to Cheng Xi, "There are so many officials in the capital who can't be busy, how can they come so far from Yuncheng for a while." ”
Cheng Xi thought about the situation in the capital and responded, "When it was poured, King Rui had only been on the throne for more than two months, and the power of this big family was intertwined, and it affected the whole body, yes, take your time." ”
Xu Saburo whispered, "You know quite well." ”
Cheng Xi replied proudly, "It's not that I understand it clearly, it's that I can see it clearly." ”
Xu Saburo pursed his lips and chuckled in response, "Yes, the lady is the smartest." ”
The Cloud City Governor Guard, who had turned around and was about to greet the two, happened to see the slightly flattering smile on Xu Sanlang's face looking at Cheng Xi, which made him surprised for a moment and didn't react for a while, and he paused for a while before coming back to his senses.
This kind of person is the most likely to see people's eyes tend to be inflammatory, and he almost has a conclusion in his heart after being surprised, and if he wants to please the eldest prince, the easiest thing to start is afraid that the eldest princess is the eldest princess, so he will look at the eldest prince's flattering smile at the eldest princess, if he can please the eldest princess, then it must be to please the eldest prince.
With a decision in his heart, the smile on the Governor's face was even bigger, and he greeted with a smile, "Because I got the news that His Highness came to Yuncheng relatively late, the preparation of the lower officials was hasty, and there are places where the preparation is not thorough, and I also ask His Highness and Niangniang to bear with me, and bear with me." ”
Cheng Xi looked at the governor guard with a smile and responded, "If such a scene is still not well prepared, then I don't know what Lord Wang thinks it should look like?" ”
Governor Wei Wang Yue responded with a flattering smile, "If Niangniang has any preferences, just speak, as long as the officials can do it, they will not give up." ”
Xu Sanlang was really awkward when he heard that Wang Yue was a mother, and the smile that was originally facing Cheng Xi had already been put away, and he turned into a cold-faced god again, and said coldly, "Call Madam." ”
"Yes, yes, ma'am, if you need anything, just ask." ”
Cheng Xi's eyes flashed, and he responded with a smile, "Okay, let's wait until I think about it before I speak." ”
Governor Wei heard Cheng Xi's words, his eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands and said, "Okay, if Madam has any needs, just open your mouth, take a seat here, take a seat." ”
Since they are all here, and there are so many delicious foods, Cheng Xi is not polite at all, and follows the governor to sit down at the middle table.
After she sat down with Xu Sanlang, Cheng Xi didn't wait for the governor guard to sit down, so he beckoned to Cheng Hong Ruyu and the hundred-year-old behind him, and said, "Big brother, Ruyu, come and sit, come and sit down, hundred-year-old, come and sit next to me." ”
The few Cloud City officials who were originally following the Governor's Guard and preparing to sit down at Cheng Xi's table to accompany the guests had to pause first when they heard Cheng Xi's words.
At the eight-seater round table, the people greeted by Cheng Xi occupied six seats, where did those people dare to sit on the table casually, and the governor's guards were still standing aside.
After the six people sat down, there were only two people left, but Cheng Xi beckoned Aunt Qin, who was waiting for the hundred-year-old, and said, "Aunt Qin, you can sit next to the hundred-year-old and take care of the hundred-year-old for dinner." ”
Aunt Qin paused slightly, not understanding how Mrs. let her sit down on this occasion, but seeing Cheng Xi's undoubted eyes, she began to sit down obediently next to Bai Sui.
Then there was only one seat left at this table, and the person who had planned to come over to accompany the guest stood beside the Governor Wei Wang with an embarrassed face.
This Lord Wang was calm, and quickly reacted, and greeted the people behind him with a smile, "Go sit down." ”
The meaning is self-evident, that is, let them sit next to them, and after greeting those few people, they said to the guards who came with Cheng Xi and them, "Everyone must be hungry after a day's journey, so they all take a seat, take a seat." ”
On the table here, Cheng Xi, who was already a little hungry, looked at the sumptuous meal on the table, and couldn't help but pick up the chopsticks, she didn't plan to follow the governor Wei to be polite, first sandwiched a piece of his favorite braised elbow for Bai Sui, and beckoned Ruyu and Aunt Qin, who were a little restrained on the table, and said, "What do you do so restrainedly, what do you usually eat, what is it." ”
Xu Saburo also opened his mouth, with two simple words, "Eat." ”
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone also picked up the chopsticks, usually in a hurry, they hadn't eaten a decent meal for a long time, and the table was full of big meals, which made them look very greedy.
After greeting everyone to sit down, Lord Wang, who had already listened to the conversations of several people in his ears, and answered with a smile, "Yes, yes, everyone must not be polite, just treat it as if you are at home, eat and drink well." ”
While speaking, he stood up and went over to pour wine for Xu Saburo in person, but he was directly rejected by Xu Saburo, with three simple words, "Don't drink." ”
Wang Yue looked embarrassed, he didn't expect Xu Sanlang to refuse directly, and he didn't say a word, just three simple words and don't drink, Cheng Xi watched from the side, waved his hand directly at him, and said to him, "I'm tired all the way, I just want to eat and drink enough to rest, you don't have to worry about us, eat your own food." ”
This is the only position that he is not allowed to do, Wang Yue felt uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do, he had to accompany Xiao Ying, and then went to another table to eat.
Xu Saburo didn't drink, and of course the other guards didn't listen to those people's greetings and drink, just like the master at the main table, they ate silently.
There were no outsiders on the table, and the people at the table were no longer restrained, they were very happy to eat, and Cheng Xi also beckoned everyone to eat more from time to time, but he didn't treat himself as a guest at all.
When everyone was full of food and drink, it only took about half an hour, and Wang Yue, who originally wanted to have a few drinks with the eldest prince and please the eldest prince, had to greet them with a smile, saying that he was ready to live and take them over immediately.
But he was directly rejected by Cheng Xi, saying that they went to the guest house by themselves, so that he didn't have to follow, and it was uncomfortable to follow them.
Wang Yue had no choice but to give up, and obediently sent the group out of the door, and at the same time thought about how to start with the eldest princess to please the eldest prince, maybe you can ask those guards to inquire about the preferences of the eldest princess.
Cheng Xi and Xu Sanlang and the others went directly to their house in Cloud City before, and on the way Xu Sanlang said, "Are you thinking about it again?" ”
Cheng Xi smiled and responded, "Are you the roundworm in my stomach, I didn't say anything, you know that I am making up my mind again." ”
Xu Saburo replied with a smile, "Looking at your dripping eyes, I know that you are fighting a bad idea in your heart again, what, you want to fight the idea of the governor's guard?" ”
Cheng Xi said, "Look at the pomp and circumstance today, at first glance, it looks like a big corrupt official who clings to the powerful and greedy, such a person is the governor and guard of Yuncheng, and it must be the people of Yuncheng who suffer." Anyway, we are also people from Cloud City, so we have to think more about the people of Cloud City. ”
Xu Sanlang nodded, seeing that Cheng Xi looked eager to try, but he was ready to be tossed by Cheng Xi, and asked, "Then what are you going to do?" ”
Cheng Xi smiled evilly and said, "Doesn't he want to climb our big tree, then let him climb, looking at his appearance, there must be a lot of oil and water, hehe." ”
Xu Sanlang was speechless, stretched out his hand and nodded Cheng Xi's forehead, and complained, "You are really a little money fan, you actually have such an idea." ”
Cheng Xi pursed his lips and responded, "I don't plan to swallow it privately, after I get it, I will do more good things for the people of Yuncheng, which is better than copying and handing over to the treasury, this is really handed over to the treasury, where is there still the share of the people of Yuncheng." ”
