Chapter 100: Yu Gongzi has an accident

After lunch, Cheng Hui proposed to go back, Mrs. Cheng was a little reluctant, but when she saw Tian Zhanfei holding the child, she swallowed it back again, and only asked Cheng Hui to bring the child over for a few more days next time.

Of course, Cheng Hui knew that the old lady still cared about the birth of her father-in-law, but when she could let her father-in-law enter the door, Cheng Hui was already content, responded with a smile, and gave the old lady a red envelope, saying that she didn't have time to buy a gift with her child, and she would make up for it when she came back next time.

After sending Cheng Hui away, Mrs. Cheng said with a gloomy face, "Hmph, how can you go back to your parents' house for the first time without bringing things back, I'm afraid that I will be swallowed by the Zhang family again." ”

As he spoke, he opened the red envelope in his hand, took out a silver ticket of ten taels from it, and his face looked better, "This child is sensible in the end, unlike her mother." ”

Cheng Xi and Xu Sanlang's restaurant will open tomorrow, and there are many things, so they left for the restaurant after lunch.

On the side of the restaurant, Cheng Xi and Xu Sanlang had already told Steward Xu that they would let them leave when they found someone again, but before finding a new person to take over the things at hand, they still had to continue to work in the restaurant.

The Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the fifteenth day of Anyang County is also very lively, but the Xu family is still running around for life and has no time for the festival.

Ruyi Restaurant was very busy this day, Cheng Xi and Xu Sanlang didn't have a chance to go out to take a look, while the rest of the Xu family was busy making baked cakes and selling baked cakes, because the business on this day was much better than usual, Wu and Ma had already run back and forth several times, and the old lady and Cheng Dagui were preparing the next stall of baked cakes at home, and even the Yu family went down to the kitchen to help.

The restaurant was busy, and when Cheng Xi and Xu Sanlang went back, there was less, because the old lady didn't want to see the hundred-year-old, Cheng Xi simply took the hundred-year-old with him, and the hundred-year-old was well-behaved and obedient, but he liked everyone in the restaurant.

However, Cheng Xi found that the attitude of the shopkeeper Xia in front of him seemed to have changed a little, and he was not as polite to them as before, but he would not embarrass them, seeing that Cheng Xi and Xu Saburo came to the restaurant with a child, he only said a word not to let the child run around, and did not say anything more.

In the blink of an eye, it was already more than twenty years of the first month, and Xu Sanlang's fourth uncle Xu Wenyu didn't come over, and Xu Lan didn't come over, which made Cheng Xi a little strange, but Yu Zhaocai has no news, Cheng Xi thought that Xu Wenyu also knew that Yu Zhaocai was not in the county, so he didn't let Xu Lan come over.

Just when Cheng Xi was still happy that he could spend a few days to kill the days, Xu Wenyu still found him, but he didn't bring Xu Lan over, but brought his colleagues from the county government to come over, and called a box in front of him, so that Xiao Er came over and called the two of them.

As soon as the two of them entered, Xu Wenyu greeted the two of them warmly, "Come and sit, I've been too busy to come and see you recently, how are you doing?" ”

Xu Sanlang still had that calm face, no extra expression, with Cheng Xi on the side, it didn't seem to be going to make a noise, Cheng Xi had to answer, "It's all good." ”

The two middle-aged men who came over with Xu Wenyu on the side also said with a smile, "Brother Xu, this is your nephew and daughter-in-law, right?" Sure enough, it is dignified, and it is very brother-like. ”

Xu Wenyu arched his hand towards the two, "Brother Li praises falsely." Then he beckoned to the two who were still standing, "Don't stand, hurry up and sit, haven't eaten yet?" I've already ordered the food, and it should be up soon. ”

Cheng Xi didn't intend to excuse himself, he pulled Xu Sanlang's sleeve, and the two of them went over to sit down in the vacant seat, Xu Wenyu was very much like an elder who cared about his juniors at this time, and continued to shush and ask for warmth, "Will it delay your work?" ”

Cheng Xi shook his head, "It's okay, I'm not too busy at this time." ”

Xu Wenyu smiled mildly and nodded, "I was also worried that you might be busy if you came early, so I chose this time to come over." ”

In the eyes of others, this Xu Wenyu seems to be a good elder who is close to the details.

Cheng Xi pursed his mouth disdainfully in his heart, his face still looked well-behaved, and he answered, "Thank you, Fourth Uncle." ”

"My own family, what's polite?"

After that, Xu Wenyu pretended to be cold and asked for warmth before talking about the topic, "Have you heard about Yu Gongzi?" ”

Xu Wenyu asked like this, Cheng Xi then remembered that Yu Zhaocai, who had originally said that he would come back after the New Year, seemed to have no news until now, could it be that something happened, Cheng Xi raised his head and looked at Xu Wenyu and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Xu Wenyu saw that Cheng Xi really didn't know, so he said, "Yu Gongzi seems to be planning to stay in Fucheng, and the family has sent someone over and is planning to sell the properties under his name." ”

Cheng Xi reflexively said, "Impossible." ”

Xu Wenyu looked at Cheng Xi suspiciously, and Cheng Xi realized that he was a little out of shape, and said with a smile, "Yu Gongzi's industry in Anyang County is running so well, how can he just leave?" ”

The two people on the side also agreed, "It's a pity if this is really sold like this." ”

Cheng Xi was a little drumming in his heart, and he always felt that something was wrong with this, Xu Wenyu was still saying to himself, "I was also a little unbelievable, and I went to a teahouse under the name of Yu Gongzi to inquire, but it was true, so I sent Xu Lan back, so as not to cause trouble to you." ”

Thinking about Xu Wenyu's plan in his heart, if he couldn't bring Xu Lan out of the Xu family, he was afraid that he would only be given away by the Xu family as a pawn in the future, so Cheng Xi said, "Xu Lan's matter will be put aside for the time being, I think there must be something strange in this matter, wait for me to go to the Yu family's mansion to inquire about the specific situation." ”

Xu Wenyu nodded, and then Xiao Er began to serve the food, and Xu Wenyu began to greet Xu Sanlang Cheng Xi and his other two colleagues to eat.

Cheng Xi thought that the focus of Xu Wenyu's coming over should be the Zhao family, but he didn't expect that he didn't mention this matter from beginning to end, Cheng Xi thought that Xu Wenyu would not mention it again, and when he didn't want to leave, Xu Wenyu sent his colleagues away first, saying that he still had a few words to ask his nephew.

After the two people left, Xu Wenyu asked, "The scholar surnamed Zhao, have you helped the fourth uncle pay attention?" ”

Cheng Xi had already thought of countermeasures, and responded with a smile, "Of course I have paid attention to the things that the fourth uncle ordered, there are several scholars surnamed Zhao, when is the fourth uncle free, let's take the fourth uncle to meet one by one." ”

Xu Wenyu's eyes lit up and nodded, "Very good, thank you for your hard work, I am free at any time, when is it convenient for you to see?" ”

Cheng Xi tilted his head and thought for a while, before he said, "We are usually busy at noon and evening, but we are quite idle in the morning, why don't you take the fourth uncle to visit one tomorrow morning?" ”

Xu Wenyu couldn't wait to see him immediately, where would he object, so he nodded hurriedly, only saying that he would come to them early tomorrow morning, and then took the initiative to check out and left satisfied.

Cheng Xi Xu Saburo sent people to the door, looking at the back of Xu Wenyu leaving, Cheng Xi showed a meaningful smile on his face.

At the end of the day, there were no more guests in the restaurant, and the people in the back kitchen had already had lunch, so they could rest for a while, Cheng Xi and Xu Sanlang went back to the back kitchen, and everyone was teasing the hundred-year-old in the yard.

The two of them took the somewhat sleepy Baisui into the house, put the Baisui on the bed and fell asleep, Cheng Xi said to Xu Sanlang, who was tidying up the hundred-year-old clothes on the side, "You have to change your temper, it's really boring, when your fourth uncle is here today, how can you not say a word?" I have to deal with two sentences anyway. ”

Xu Sanlang's hand paused, "Isn't this you?" ”

Cheng Xi slapped Xu Sanlang's arm dissatisfied, but his palm hurt a little, and said while rubbing his palm, "Are you a man or am I a man?" What's the thing that pushes a woman to the front? ”

Xu Saburo also seemed to be a little weak-hearted, and replied in a low voice, "I'm not very good at talking, I'm afraid of saying the wrong thing about you." ”

Cheng Xi pursed her lips, thinking about it, Xu Sanlang is much better than when she knew her, and she talked a lot, like this, she didn't say a word from beginning to end, and basically when facing the Xu family, she no longer bothered with Xu Sanlang, and told him another thing, "Do you say that something will happen to Yu Zhaocai?" Obviously, when he told us last year that he was going to Fucheng for the New Year, he still looked disgusted and didn't want to stay in Fucheng for a moment, so why did he suddenly decide to stay in Fucheng? ”

Xu Sanlang thought for a while before saying, "The gambling house has his henchmen, I'll go to the gambling house at night to ask." ”

Cheng Xi nodded, whether it was their friendship with Yu Zhaocai or their own considerations, they couldn't pretend to ignore this matter.

After work at night, Xu Sanlang went out, Cheng Xi took care of Baisui to sleep, and then sat on the head of the bed, reading a book on the dim oil lamp while waiting for Xu Sanlang to bring back the news, waiting for Cheng Xi to be a little drowsy, and then waited for Xu Sanlang to come back.

Cheng Xi rubbed his temples, sat up straight, raised his head and whispered to Xu Sanlang who entered the room, "How is it?" ”

Xu Sanlang closed the door, sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Cheng Xi and said, "I saw the girl Crescent Moon next to Yu Zhaocai, she said that Yu Zhaocai went to Fucheng, and was forcibly placed under house arrest by his father, and it was Yu Zhaocai's stepmother's idea to sell the property in the county. ”

Cheng Xi frowned and said, "I'll just say, how can you go for so long without any news, how did the crescent moon come back?" Is it Yu Zhaocai's idea to come back? Is there a solution? ”

Xu Sanlang shook his head, "The crescent moon said that all the people brought back by Yu Zhaocai in the city were locked up, and there was no way to escape, and the crescent moon also managed to escape back to the county seat in the past two days, and was discussing with the people in the county town to rescue the people." ”
