Chapter 166: Xu Wenyu returns
Cheng Xi got Ah Wu's notice, and when he arrived at the gate of the orchard, he saw the carriage parked at the gate of the orchard, and Cheng Xi squinted slightly and watched the people in the carriage get down.
Even if the people in the carriage have not yet appeared, Cheng Xi has guessed who the people in the carriage will be, the team of officers and soldiers following outside can only be the carriage of the Yamen, and the people related to the Yamen, except for the Xu family, there can be no other people.
When Cheng Xi saw the people coming down from the carriage, Cheng Xi was a little surprised, it was actually Xu Wenyu who got off the carriage, Cheng Xi observed carefully, this person seemed to be much more restrained than before, and there was still a gentle smile on his face, but the smile on Xu Wenyu's face now was a little different from what Cheng Xi saw before, and now Xu Wenyu's smile made Cheng Xi not feel hypocritical at all, as if the smile on his face was from his heart.
With just a smile, Cheng Xi came to the conclusion that this person was more terrifying than before, and he didn't know what he was here for, could it be that he was here to avenge Mrs. Xu? That's really going to pick the time.
Facing such Xu Wenyu, Cheng Xikai really didn't think about how to face it, did he simply tear his face? Or do you want to try and try first, see if you can make a big thing small, and first reveal the previous point of the festival?
In the end, Cheng Xi remained silent first, I won't move if the enemy doesn't move, let's see what Xu Wenyu plans to do.
Xu Wenyu went all the way to Cheng Xide, with such a smile on his face, and then greeted Cheng Xi very affectionately, "I haven't seen you for two years, Xi'er has grown into a big girl, but she is still a little ignorant, why don't you notify the fourth uncle of a happy event at home?" ”
While speaking, Xu Wenyu also stretched out his hand, planning to touch Cheng Xi's head, Cheng Xi was really annoyed by his height, if he was taller, where could it be so easy for others to touch his head.
Quietly staggering the position of Xu Wenyu's raised hand, Cheng Xi responded with a smile, "It's not that Xi'er doesn't want to invite the fourth uncle, it's that Xi'er doesn't dare, who knows if the fourth aunt will give me another charge and put me in prison directly?" Besides, Xi'er can't afford to invite her, as soon as grandma opens her mouth, it's five taels of silver, where can Xi'er get it? ”
Xu Wenyu's hand fell into the air, his eyes flashed, he put it down like no one else, turned his back to him, heard Cheng Xi's words, and looked at Cheng Xi very distressedly, "The fourth uncle is not here, so Xi'er has been wronged, as soon as I heard about it when I came back, I have already punished you and her, it is really immoral, she has been demoted to a lower concubine, Xi'er will not need to call her the fourth aunt in the future, as for your grandmother asking you for silver, you don't have to take it to heart, it may be that I have not been at home in the past two years, and the family is too difficult, so your grandmother opened her mouth to you, Xi'er is so relieved? ”
Cheng Xi listened to Xu Wenyu's words, and really couldn't figure out what this person wanted to do, to say that he treated her like this before, because he wanted to catch up with the Zhao family through her, and now that he is the county magistrate of Anyang County, there should be no need to please her, right? Is it because Xu Saburo, or does he know Xu Saburo's identity?
Cheng Xi speculated wildly in his heart, but since this person had the intention to resolve this matter, Cheng Xi would not be stupid to do anything with him, so he responded with a smile, "It's better to be the fourth uncle, thank you the fourth uncle." ”
Xu Wenyu looked at the smile on Cheng Xi's face, and replied with satisfaction, "It's good to know, then don't let the fourth uncle go in and sit?" I heard that today is a good day for Lan Yatou, so I specially chose to come over today. ”
Cheng Xi's eyes flickered and he replied with a smile, "Then the fourth uncle should go to the uncle's side, right?" ”
Xu Wenyu said, "I'll let your second uncle go over there, I'll come over here to take a look, what's the matter, I really don't plan to let the fourth uncle into the house?" ”
Cheng Xi hurriedly responded, "How come, Fourth Uncle, please, Xiong Er, you greet these officers and soldiers." ”
While taking Xu Wenyu to the orchard, Cheng Xi thought in his heart, this fourth uncle knew that it would be bad for the old lady of the Xu family to come over, but he didn't let the old lady Xu come over.
couldn't think of it, Cheng Xi didn't bother to think about it anymore, take a step at a time, now that this person is the commander of Anyang County, he still tries not to have a bad relationship with this person.
Xu Wenyu looked at the orchard as he walked, and said, "Although this orchard is not bad, but after all, it is still too far away from the county seat, I think Xi'er still moved back to the county seat, our Xu family is now in the county seat, and I have specially ordered you to leave a delicate small building." ”
Cheng Xi responded, "Thank you for the kindness of the fourth uncle, Xi'er still likes this orchard." ”
Xu Wenyu turned his head to look at Cheng Xi, "Is Xi'er worried about the Xu family?" Don't worry, with the fourth uncle here, no one dares to do anything to Xi'er, you just have to live in peace. ”
Cheng Xi was looked at by Xu Wenyu like this, I don't know why, I always felt a little hairy in my heart, and I felt uncomfortable all over, so Cheng Xi quickened his pace, and said as he walked, "The welcoming team is coming back soon, fourth uncle, let's hurry over." ”
Because Xu Wenyu was wearing civilian clothes, plus the carriage and officers and soldiers he brought made Xiong Er greet him to the other side, Xu Wenyu's arrival did not cause any waves, Cheng Xi took people directly to Yu Zhaocai's table in the house, Yu Zhaocai frowned slightly when he saw the people behind Cheng Xi.
Cheng Xi hurriedly carried Xu Wenyu behind his back and winked at Yu Zhaocai, and then said, "Fourth uncle, you sit here first, I have to help Zhang Luo greet the welcoming team, brother, help greet my fourth uncle." ”
Usually Cheng Xi would never call Yu Zhaocai a brother, no matter how Yu Zhaocai coerced and lured, Cheng Xi was a Yu Gongzi, or directly Yu Zhaocai, today in order to please Yu Zhaocai, let Yu Zhaocai stop and not cause trouble, Cheng Xi is also hard enough, even his brother is called.
Yu Zhaocai heard Cheng Xi's brother, and a smile instantly appeared on his face, and he responded, "No problem, Lord Xu, please sit here." ”
Xu Wenyu glanced at Cheng Xi, who quickly turned around and left after speaking, before he sat down on Yu Zhaocai's side and greeted Yu Zhaocai and the other people at the table.
When he went out, Cheng Xi's face sank, and Mr. Wu, who was sitting outside, was also by Cheng Xi's side, frowning and whispering, "Why did this person come over suddenly?" ”
Cheng Xi shook his head helplessly, and whispered, "I don't know what his purpose is, but it seems that he shouldn't be here to find fault at present." ”
Mr. Wu sighed, "It's not to find fault, I want to avoid him, so I'll go to the Grange first." ”
Cheng Xi nodded, "Okay, you go over there first, Uncle He called someone over, he shouldn't go over there." ”
When Mr. Wu left, Cheng Xi put away his emotions, regained his smile again and began to greet the helpers, preparing to welcome the welcoming team back.
Since Xu Wenyu was brought into the house by Cheng Xi, he has been chatting with Yu Zhaocai and several guests from the county town one by one, and Cheng Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that he really didn't come to find fault.
Only when Xu Lan and Ah Wen visited the church, Xu Wenyu suddenly appeared and said, "Xu Lan is also my niece, since my niece and son-in-law have no elder relatives, I, who is an uncle, will take the liberty of becoming an elder." ”
After speaking, Xu Wenyu looked at Cheng Xi on the side, "Xi'er, do you think it's feasible?" ”
Cheng Xi looked at Xu Lan's body that was a little trembling since she heard Xu Wenyu speak, and hurriedly glanced at Ah Wen, and then said, "This matter will not bother the fourth uncle, Ah Wen has already discussed with Uncle Cui and recognized Uncle Cui as his godfather." ”
This Uncle Cui is also a good person, as soon as he heard Cheng Xi's words, he pulled Aunt Cui forward and said, "Lord Xu can be my son's elder once, that is his great blessing, but the matter of getting married, I have worshiped my father and mother since ancient times, I am afraid that I can't bother Lord Xu." ”
Xu Wenyu looked at Cheng Xi and said, "Yes, why did Xi'er sit in this position?" ”
Cheng Xi hurriedly got up from the main seat and responded, "I'm tired and sit down, the fourth uncle didn't say that I didn't pay attention, you can't sit casually here." ”
I heard Xu Wenyu continue, "I remember that there is a custom for domestic slaves to get married, if you don't have a father, you can worship your own master, and this person who is married is Xi'er, your guard, right?" Worship Xi'er, but the rules are not broken. ”
Cheng Xi replied with a smile, "Yes, I don't know very well. ”
Yu Zhaocai on the side said, "What's the matter, the auspicious time has been delayed by you, since Uncle Cui is the godfather, then hurry up and sit down." ”
Uncle Cui heard Yu Zhaocai's words, glanced at Cheng Xi, and finally pulled Aunt Cui on the side to sit on the main seat in front, and the people invited by the village to shout also began to shout loudly, "Worship heaven and earth......
After the ceremony, Cheng Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief, Xu Wenyu didn't make any more trouble, and when he said goodbye to Cheng Xi after eating, he still persuaded Cheng Xi to move back to the county seat, Cheng Xi made a bunch of excuses, and finally sent Xu Wenyu away first.
Only what Xu Wenyu said before leaving, but it made Cheng Xi's heart always respond, Xu Wenyu actually said that he would pick her up another day and go back to the county seat, what county should he go back to, Cheng Xi lives well in this Lihua Village, why do you want to go back to the county seat with him, isn't this a blockage for her?
In the evening, after dinner, Xiong Er took the lead and took a group of young people from the village to the new house of Ah Wen and Xu Lan, and went to the cave house.
The guests at home are almost gone, Uncle Cui and Aunt Cui are cleaning up the main hall under the attic, Cheng Xi wants to take a hand but is stopped by Aunt Cui, saying that she is tired after a busy day, so let her rest on the side.
Cheng Xi had no choice but to sit aside and drink hot tea, thinking about what Xu Wenyu was thinking about with a distressed face.
Xu Wenqiang sent off the guests at home, and then followed Xu Dalang over, and when he saw the hundred-year-old in the main hall, he walked over quickly and sat next to Cheng Xi, Xu Wen couldn't wait to speak, "I heard that the fourth child came to your side today?" ”
Cheng Xi nodded, and Xu Wenqiang hurriedly asked, "What did he say?" ”
Asked by Xu Wenqiang, Cheng Xi remembered what Xu Wenqiang said again, his brows furrowed slightly, his face was depressed, and he said, "Said that he had a mansion in Fucheng and asked me to move to the county seat, but I didn't agree, and he didn't give up and said that he would pick me up next time." ”
Xu Wenqiang's eyes lit up, and he answered, "He asked the second child to come to our side, and also told us, let us move to the county seat, I didn't give an answer at the time, I just wanted to ask your idea, it seems that the fourth child still has some conscience, why don't we move back to live?" ”
Cheng Xi heard Xu Wenqiang's words, and couldn't help but raise his head and look at him, and said very speechlessly, "Do you think he will be the one who will find out his conscience and take us back to enjoy the blessings?" ”
Xu Wenqiang responded, "Then what will he do when he takes us back?" ”
Cheng Xi pursed his lips, "Who knows what to do, anyway, I don't think I will have any good intentions." ”
Xu Dalang on the side frowned when he heard his father say that he would move to the county seat, and when he heard Cheng Xi's words, he opened his mouth and said, "Our life is hard to live today, anyway, I won't go back, who knows if these four uncles are watching our lives better, and calculating the silver in our pockets." ”
This Xu Dalang also understands his father, this opening, the words are to the point, as soon as Xu Wenqiang heard it, his brows furrowed tightly, and the resentment buried deep in his heart came out, reminding him that the fourth child is absolutely not credible.
But thinking that the fourth brother is now the county magistrate of Anyang County, he is a little unwilling, maybe the fourth child has found out his conscience, and remembers the contribution made by his eldest brother to send him to study and take the scientific examination?
Xu Wenqiang was still entangled in himself, but Xu Dalang looked at Cheng Xi and said, "I also heard from the second uncle that the fourth aunt was dismissed by the fourth uncle and reduced to a concubine." ”
