Xu Wenyu came very quickly, Ah Wen had only been out for two days, and he came to Lihua Village again, but at this time there were not only the old ladies of the Xu family, but also Cheng Fang, who was demoted to a concubine by Xu Wenyu.

Since knowing Xu Wenyu's calculations, Cheng Xi felt disgusted when he saw this person, and he couldn't wait to pick up the broom directly and drive the person out, but Cheng Xi could only think in his heart, waiting for the person to come, Cheng Xi still had to deal with this person.

Trying to squeeze out a smile on his face, Cheng Xi greeted Xu Wenyu and said, "Isn't the fourth uncle in the yamen busy?" How do you have time to run to this remote Ewha Village? ”

As for Mrs. Xu and Cheng Fang, Cheng Xi was too lazy to deal with them, but Cheng Xi still glanced at the two of them, only seeing the hatred in Cheng Fang's eyes, Cheng Xi felt that he was simply not too innocent, shouldn't this woman hate her man? Why do you hate her as an innocent victim?

Xu Wenyu still had a modest smile on his face, "Your grandmother specially came with me to pick you up and go back to the county seat, she, I specially brought it over to make amends for you." ”

Xu Wenyu, who had just been talking to Cheng Xi with a gentle smile on his face, instantly changed his face when he turned to face Cheng Fang on the side, with a serious face and reprimanded coldly, "Don't kneel down and kowtow to Xi'er to make amends." ”

Cheng Xi was speechless, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "No need, I can't afford to kowtow and make amends." ”

What Cheng Xi wants to express is actually literal, she really thinks that she can't stand Cheng Fang's kowtow to make amends, but when she listens to other people's ears, it changes her taste, and it is more like she is satirizing Cheng Fang.

Of course, Cheng Fang also thought so, and the eyes that originally looked at Cheng Xi with hatred were a little more vicious.

Xu Wenyu saw that Cheng Fang had not moved for a long time, and said coldly again, "Didn't you hear?" Or do you want me to help you myself? ”

Even if Cheng Fang was unwilling, he finally knelt in front of Cheng Xide with a snap, and as soon as he knelt down, Cheng Xi felt that his knees were a little numb, this person was really ruthless to himself.

Cheng Xi hurriedly dodged in another direction, dodged Cheng Fang's kneeling, frowned and said a little angrily, "Why don't you use it, don't kneel to me, I'm afraid of losing my life." ”

Xu Wenyu looked at Cheng Xi's reluctant look, and finally didn't pay attention to Cheng Fang, but said, "Xi'er, you see that my grandmother and I have come to pick you up, so you will be obedient and go back to the county with us." ”

Cheng Xi frowned and said, "Thank you Fourth Uncle for your kindness, but I won't go back to the county seat for the time being, because there are still a lot of things to be busy here?" ”

The old lady Xu on the side said a little impatiently, "You can't beckon us into the house first." ”

Cheng Xi originally really had this plan, so he thought about sending people away at the door, but at this time, others opened their mouths, if Cheng Xi didn't want to turn his face directly with them, he had to say hello, "I forgot that I was still standing at the door, let's drink tea in the first room." ”

After saying that, Cheng Xi led the way in front, and after turning around, Cheng Xi frowned tightly, and brewed in his heart for a while to deal with them, Cheng Xi didn't expect that before he could think about it, this person came over first.

Mrs. Xu may have also been entrusted by Xu Wenyu, and she was not as arrogant as she was before to Cheng Xi, but she couldn't let go of talking to Cheng Xi, so she only followed her fourth son with a straight face and didn't speak.

But Cheng Fang was still kneeling in place, as if Xu Wenyu and Mrs. Xu couldn't see such a person at all, they went around Cheng Fang directly, and followed Cheng Xi to the other side of the house.

At this time, Cheng Fang has long lost her former demeanor, and her tactfulness and generosity have finally been consumed and can no longer be seen, her eyes are only full of hatred and coldness, she looked at the backs of several people, gritted her teeth, stood up by herself, and then limped behind a few people, it seems that she knelt down just now, in the end, she hurt her knees, and she was really ruthless to herself.

Ah Wu heard the news and rushed over, met Cheng Xi at the door, and kept following Cheng Xi, for fear that Cheng Xi would make a mistake, Xiong Da Xiong Er, who came behind Ah Wu, stayed at the door, holding the same psychology as Ah Wu.

Cheng Xi beckoned a few people to sit in the main hall downstairs of the attic, and asked Aunt Cui to make tea, and the old lady Xu, who had just sat down, couldn't help but say sourly, "It's been a very nourishing day, and it's a mother-in-law and a housekeeper." ”

Cheng Xi heard Mrs. Xu's words, so she simply followed her words and continued, "So it's good for me to live here, why do I have to move to the county seat?" I understand the kindness of the fourth uncle, whether to go or not. ”

While saying that Cheng Xi also found a place to sit down, but found that Cheng Fang only kept her head down and stood beside Xu Wenyu, Cheng Xi looked at Cheng Fang like this, thinking that she had calculated herself at the beginning, she should feel that she was right to relieve her hatred, but she only looked at it at this time, but she only felt sad, this is the sadness of a woman born in this era, and her heart and mind are unscrupulous just to keep the heart of a man, but in the end she still ended up with such a subordinate.

Xu Wenyu heard Cheng Xi refuse again, frowned slightly and continued to persuade, "This place is too remote, and it is not complete to live, you can take these people of yours to the county town The same, when the time comes, I will match you with two more maids, it will definitely be more comfortable than living in this countryside." ”

Cheng Xi deliberately pretended to be entangled and hesitant, Cheng Fang looked at Cheng Xi's eyes, and his eyes couldn't wait to erupt with fire, for fear that Cheng Xi would agree like this.

Cheng Xi deliberately struggled for a while before shaking his head, "Forget it, I almost forgot about business, after a friend came to this orchard, he thought that this place was very good, and he planned to hold a gathering of friends with poetry here when the fruit trees bloomed at the beginning of this year, let me prepare, I can't just pick a pick, follow the fourth uncle to the county seat and ignore it." ”

Xu Wenyu looked at Cheng Xi with an inquiring face, and estimated the credibility of Cheng Xi's words in his heart, if he meets friends with poetry, he must be a reader, what kind of reader will Cheng Xi know?

Just when Xu Wenyu doubted the truth of Cheng Xi's words, Cheng Xi opened his mouth and continued, "That's right, it's really a coincidence to say that the person I know is really a coincidence, surnamed Zhao, I remember that the fourth uncle had been looking for someone surnamed Zhao before he left, and he was not in our Anyang County at that time, so I left this person out, maybe this person is the person that the fourth uncle is looking for?" ”

When Cheng Xi said this, Xu Wenyu instantly believed it, raised his head and looked at Cheng Xi and said, "But the people of Yuecheng?" ”

Cheng Xi responded, "Yes, yes, it must be the person surnamed Zhao that the fourth uncle is looking for." ”

Xu Wenyu shook his head, "I'm just guessing casually, after all, the most scholars surnamed Zhao are on the Yuecheng side, but it won't be the person I'm looking for, the person I'm looking for has already been found when he was in the capital, and he is still in the capital." ”

Cheng Xi responded, "That's it, it's good to find it." I can't go back to the county seat for the time being, so the fourth uncle won't embarrass me anymore, otherwise Brother Zhao will blame me for being unreliable. ”

Xu Wenyu lowered his head as if he was thinking about something, and then raised his head to look at Cheng Xi, "Okay, then wait until your orchard is past the flowering season, by the way, I heard that San Lang hasn't been back for almost three years?" But what's the news coming back? What the hell is this kid doing out there? ”

Cheng Xi shook his head, "There's no news, so I don't know very well." ”

Xu Wenyu glanced at Ah Wu behind Cheng Xi, "Didn't I send you two guards back?" How could there be no news of him? ”

Without waiting for Cheng Xi to answer, Ah Wu replied by himself, "My brother and I are both wanderers, and when we were down, we met my master, who gave us a sum of money, and then let us follow Mrs. Since then, there has been no news of the master. ”

Of course, Xu Wenyu wouldn't believe Ah Wu's words, but even if he didn't believe it, he wouldn't continue to ask, anyway, he couldn't ask any useful news, so he changed the way of questioning, "Are you San Lang who went to Fucheng to see?" ”

Cheng Xi always felt that something was wrong with Xu Wenyu, why did he keep asking about Xu Sanlang's news? Regarding Xu Sanlang's news, Cheng Xi was of course reluctant to reveal too much, but how could he avoid Xu Wenyu's questioning.

Cheng Xi's mind flashed, and he said angrily, "Fourth uncle, don't you always mention that conscienceless Xu Sanlang?" If I hadn't known to give me some money, I would have listened to my father's reconciliation with him, anyway, sooner or later, it would be better for him not to come back for the rest of his life, being a widow is better than having such a man who does not return home. ”

When Cheng Xi finished speaking incoherently and angrily, Xu Wenyu changed his eyes and said to Cheng Xi with a gentle face, "It's really bitter Xi'er, it's San Lang's fault in this matter, but Xi'er rest assured, there is a fourth uncle here, and I don't think Xi'er will be wronged, even if San Lang doesn't come back, there is still a place for Xi'er in the Xu family." ”

Cheng Xi heard Xu Wenyu's words, and felt goosebumps all over his body, and hurriedly answered, "Don't talk about him, thank you Fourth Uncle for taking care of me like this, have you ever had lunch?" If you don't eat it, I'll have it prepared. ”

Old Mrs. Xu snorted coldly, "I traveled for a long time, of course I didn't eat." ”

Cheng Xi resisted the urge to drive people out, and said to Aunt Cui, who was waiting on the side, "It's troublesome." ”

Aunt Cui went to the kitchen in response, but Cheng Xi couldn't sit still with these people, so she said, "Do you want to go and see the uncle?" ”

After finishing speaking, Cheng Xi said sorry to her aunt and uncle in her heart, she was really too lazy to deal with these people.

Old Lady Xu snorted coldly, "Don't go, a group of white-eyed wolves with no conscience." ”

Xu Wenyu glanced at Mrs. Xu, the old lady closed her mouth, and heard Xu Wenyu continue, "I originally wanted to take the eldest brother and his family to the county seat, but the eldest brother and their family have an errand under Yu Gongzi, which is better than going to the county town to do nothing, so I can't force it." ”

Cheng Xi said with contempt in his heart, "Don't I also have an errand?" Why do you keep insisting? Disgusting, hypocritical. ”

Too lazy to speak again, Cheng Xi simply remained silent, only Xu Wenyu still had a concerned expression, and asked the east and west, "I haven't been here for a few years, how is Xi'er doing?" But someone is bullying you? If so, don't be polite to the fourth uncle, just tell the fourth uncle, and the fourth uncle will seek justice for you. ”

Cheng Xi responded, "Yu Zhaocai is my brother, who dares to bully me." Aunt Cui's cooking skills can't catch up with me, I will cook a few dishes for you myself, you can sit for a while, and the meal will be ready soon. ”

After speaking, Cheng Xi stood up and said to Ah Wu on the side, "Greet the guests well." With that, he slipped out of the door and went to the kitchen.

When he went out, Cheng Xi took a deep breath and murmured, "It's really a haunting family, it's really annoying to me." ”
