Chapter 169: The Ghost Lingers
When he went out, Cheng Xi took a deep breath and murmured, "It's really a haunting family, it's really annoying to me." ”
As soon as Xu Lan saw Cheng Xi come out, she came over to Cheng Xi's side, frowned and asked with disgust, "Why are they here again?" ”
Cheng Xi sighed, "Don't show up, when they have eaten, I will send them away." ”
Xu Lan snorted coldly, "You should let Ah Wu and them drive people out directly." ”
Cheng Xi pulled Xu Lan to the kitchen and said, "You can stop, Xu Wenyu is now the county magistrate of Anyang County, let's not offend him for the time being, otherwise we will be able to bear it if we give us some stumbling blocks." ”
Xu Lan nodded depressedly, "I know, I'm actually embarrassed to stay and eat, I'll spit a few mouthfuls in their meals for a while and let them eat." ”
Cheng Xi was amused by Xu Lan's words, and responded with a smile, "It's a shame that you think of it." ”
After that, Cheng Xi has been hiding in the kitchen, and the prepared meals are sent by Aunt Cui, because of the fresh vegetables grown in her own greenhouse, coupled with Cheng Xi's craftsmanship, Mrs. Xu eats with oily faces, and Xu Wenyu is Svenwen, but she never saw Cheng Xi, so she asked Aunt Cui, "What about Cheng Xi?" ”
Aunt Cui was very polite, and then she answered, "Madame is still stir-frying in the kitchen." ”
Cheng Xi deliberately hid in the kitchen and deliberately let Aunt Cui serve one dish at a time, only until Aunt Cui said that they were almost finished, and Cheng Xi personally delivered it with a bowl of soup.
Xu Wenyu greeted Cheng Xi, "Thank you for your hard work, come over and eat." ”
Cheng Xi put down the soup and responded with a smile, "No need, I have already had breakfast, you eat more." ”
Only Cheng Xi stood up and found that only Mrs. Xu and Xu Wenyu were sitting and eating at the table, Cheng Fang was still standing behind Xu Wenyu, and she didn't eat at all, and Xu Wenyu and Mrs. Xu didn't see it.
Cheng Xi could see that the two of them were not for her at all, but really completely ignored the existence of this person.
Looking at this scene, Cheng Xi was speechless, and then looked at Xu Wenyu and Mrs. Xu, she felt even more disgusting, aside from her festival with Cheng Fang, Cheng Xi stood from an objective point of view, and also felt that this Xu family was really too much, this Cheng Fang had been a daughter-in-law to his Xu family for so many years, Xu Wenyu had been a husband and wife with her for so many years, Cheng Fang also gave birth to a lovely daughter for him, and it was okay to demote her to an inferior concubine, but he still treated her like this.
Of course, Cheng Xi would not kindly remind them, just the way Cheng Fang looked at her, it was estimated that she was kind enough to be treated as a donkey's liver and lungs when she helped her speak, Cheng Xi was really speechless, just the dirty thing that Cheng Fang did, she hadn't settled accounts with her yet, she hated herself first.
When the two of them finished eating, when it was time to leave, no one cared about whether Cheng Fang ate or not, but Cheng Xi was glad that these people finally mentioned that they were leaving.
Mrs. Xu didn't mention Cheng Xi for silver until she got into the carriage this time, nor did she look for Cheng Xi's stubble, but she listened to her son.
After Xu Wenyu left, Cheng Xi sat in the main hall with a sad brow, and Ah Wu stood aside, looked at Cheng Xi's expression, and asked, "What is Madam worried about?" ”
Cheng Xi sighed and asked, "Do you think Xu Wenyu inquired a little too much about Xu Sanlang?" I always felt that something was wrong. ”
Ah Hu was not worried at all, and responded, "Madam, don't worry, the master is careful and will not easily expose his whereabouts, as long as we keep our mouths shut." ”
Cheng Xi felt that it was easy to talk to Ah Wen, but Ah Wen was not there, and Cheng Xi could only tell Ah Wu, "I'm not worried that Xu Sanlang has exposed his whereabouts, I suspect Xu Wenyu, and I don't know what he has done in the capital in the past two years. ”
Ah Wu listened to Cheng Xi's analysis, and finally understood what Cheng Xi was worried about, and nodded approvingly, "What Madame said makes sense, why don't you go down and investigate?" ”
Cheng Xi shook her head decisively, she also saw that Ah Wu was only suitable for the most direct way, hands-on, brain-based things, it was better not to let Ah Wu go, lest things not be done, but startling the snake.
Although Ah Wu enthusiastically wanted to relieve Cheng Xi's worries, he had to give up seeing that Cheng Xi disagreed.
Cheng Xi thought that Yu Zhaocai's news was the most well-informed, and his subordinates were also very good at inquiring about the news, and the people on hand had been out of various places to run business for a long time, so he could let Yu Zhaocai help inquire, but it was much more reliable than letting Ah Wu inquire, and he had an idea in his heart, anyway, he was not in a hurry, Cheng Xi thought, waiting for the next time Yu Zhaocai came to the orchard, let him inquire.
Then Cheng Xi started to get busy again, the last time he went to Cloud City, Cheng Xi tasted all the dim sum in Cloud City, and probably knew that the dim sum in this place was really scarce, and most of them were fried things, and if he ate a little more, he would feel tired.
Cheng Xi has also eaten pastries made of beans, and most of them are fried, which is really not good.
Looking at so many red beans, soybeans and mung beans that were recovered last year, Cheng Xi was also down-to-earth, called Aunt Cui Xu Lan for help, and began to tinker with red bean cakes, soybean cakes and mung bean cakes according to the practices in her memory, because all the production tools are the most primitive tools, and it is really troublesome to do, just wait until the first batch of fresh mung bean cakes are baked, Aunt Cui and Xu Lan have tasted the taste, and they feel that all their efforts are worth it.
In mid-March, the private school was repaired, Cheng Xi still planned to hold a lively opening ceremony, and deliberately asked Mr. Wu to turn over the yellow calendar and pick a good day, Cheng Xi let Xiong Da go to the county seat, and invited Yu Zhaocai to come over to join in the fun, and he wanted to ask him for help, and he also told him by the way.
As soon as Ah Wen went to Moon City, there was no news, Cheng Xi was really worried, and was thinking about whether to wait for the opening ceremony of the private school to be over, so let Ah Wu go to Moon City to have a look, and Ah Wen would come back.
Only Ah Wen didn't come back alone, when he came back, Ah Wen became a coachman, drove a carriage, and went directly to the door of the wing room, Cheng Xi came out of the main hall of the attic, looked at Ah Wen, and said, "Finally come back, if you don't come back, I plan to let Ah Wu go to find someone, why did you get a carriage back?" This carriage looks pretty good. ”
Cheng Xi was looking at the carriage, and he didn't want the door of the carriage to be suddenly pushed open by hand, and then a young man in a blue cloth shirt came down from the carriage, the young man got out of the carriage, but he squatted next to the carriage, and then a man in brocade clothes and a noble brocade clothes came out of the carriage, stepped on the leg of the man in cloth clothes who was squatting, and got out of the carriage.
Cheng Xi looked at the man in brocade curiously, seventeen or eighteen years old, with a fair and handsome face, at first glance, he was a pampered young master, but his face looked quite kind, different from Yu Zhaocai's arrogance, and different from Ge Shu's hanger, if you want to use any words to describe this person, Cheng Xi felt that this young man was very gentle and elegant.
"Xiaosheng has seen the sister-in-law of the Xu family."
With this opening, Cheng Xi felt that this word was suitable for him, but who was this person? Do you know her? Do you still call her the sister-in-law of the Xu family? Cheng Xi looked at Ah Wen with a puzzled expression.
Ah Wen hurriedly opened his mouth and introduced, "Madam, this is the son of Lord Zhao's family in Yuecheng, I heard that the orchard on your side is pleasant, so I came here to take a look." ”
Cheng Xi instantly understood that this person should have been specially sent by the Zhao family to support him, so Cheng Xi greeted with a warm smile, "Zhao Gongzi is reasonable, please sit in the room." ”
People are so polite when they meet, of course Cheng Xi has to greet people politely and politely.
Beckoning people into the house, Cheng Xi hurriedly asked Aunt Cui to make tea, and Zhao Gongzi said with a gentle face, "My name is Zhao Yan, I was fortunate to get acquainted with Brother Xu in Yuecheng before, and I talked about it very much, so my sister-in-law should not call me Zhao Gongzi, if I see the outside, my sister-in-law will be like Brother Xu, call me Ah Yan." ”
Cheng Xi listened to Zhao Yan's words, and couldn't help complaining in his heart, it was really difficult for you to be able to talk to Xu Sanlang's wood, and said with a smile on his face, "Okay, then call you Ayan, don't call me sister-in-law, I'm only sixteen years old, listening to your sister-in-law, you call me old, you can call me Xi'er." ”
Ah Yan didn't say anything polite to Cheng Xi, and responded with a gentle smile, "Okay, Xi'er, I may have to bother you during this time." ”
Cheng Xi responded with a smile, "Where will it be, but it will trouble you, so I deliberately ran this trip." ”
Cheng Xi was originally thinking about how to hold a poetry meeting with friends for readers, and prevaricate Xu Wenyu, but he didn't expect someone to send a pillow when he was sleepy, and he didn't expect the Zhao family in Yuecheng to really send someone here, it seems that Xu Sanlang and their relationship with the Zhao family is really iron.
There is a Zhao family here, thinking that there is no need to worry about Xu Wenyu coming over, Cheng Xi is finally relieved, but Cheng Xi still feels a little uneasy, and always feels that the current Xu Wenyu is not simpler than the previous Xu Wenyu, and Cheng Xi always feels that Xu Wenyu's purpose is not only himself, but also seems to want to inquire about Xu Sanlang, which is a dangerous omen.
It's useless for Cheng Xi to worry about it, there are still many things waiting for her to go to at home, the opening ceremony of the private school, and the various dim sum she developed have to expand production and find sales, and everything is waiting for her to open up one by one.
This Zhao family is the person of King Rui, so Xu Sanlang's identity, Zhao Yan, the sister-in-law of the Zhao family, is clear, he has always been very curious, this eldest prince is looking for a daughter-in-law in the countryside, and he is still protecting him everywhere, what kind of woman is it, she has only been greeted a long time ago, don't bother her, don't expose her identity and cause her trouble, so he is obviously so close, even if he is curious, he can only endure it.
The secret guard Arwen suddenly found Yuecheng, but he just gave him this opportunity, so he didn't hesitate to take this matter down, and came over in person, in order to see with his own eyes, who the little peasant lady that the eldest prince hid and protected, and could say that he was so fascinated that even an excellent woman like her sister didn't want to take a second look.
At first, I saw that she looked good, only a little short, and she was a peasant girl, tanned, and her sister was fair.
is only a tutor, even if he feels that the woman in front of him is not as good as his sister, he still will not show a trace, and he will not forget how the eldest prince cares about this woman, he does not dare to offend easily.
