Chapter 228: Awkward Meeting
Xu Sanlang took the face towel in Cheng Xi's hand, wiped the sweat on his face for Cheng Xi, and responded, "When I go back to Lihua Village, no one will admit my mistake." ”
Cheng Xi nodded, sighed and said, "I think they are 100 years old, and I don't know if they will be worried as soon as we come out like this, hey." ”
Xu Sanlang stretched out his hand and rubbed Cheng Xi's head, and responded, "Don't worry, Ah Wen stayed, he will take care of the family." ”
Cheng Xi nodded, "I'm just a little worried that Xu Wenyu will go for trouble again." ”
Xu Saburo said, "Don't worry, he will soon be too busy to take care of himself, and besides, his subordinate who was arrested by us should tell him the situation, as long as he knows, he should not act rashly." ”
Cheng Xi sighed, "I hope." ”
Xu Sanlang rubbed Cheng Xi's hair again, "Don't think nonsense, when the matter here is over, let's go back, it won't be long in delay." ”
Cheng Xi agreed, "Okay, in this capital, there are a lot of rules, I'm really not used to it, it's better for us to go to the countryside, and that ......"
Cheng Xi grabbed Xu Sanlang's arm, raised his head and looked at him with a worried face, looking like he wanted to say something, Xu Sanlang said helplessly, "What's wrong?" Let's get it bluntly. ”
Cheng Xi said, "After a while, Ge Shu picked up his mother and came back, that, what are we going to do, I feel a little embarrassed when I think about it." Cheng Xi originally wanted to say, but you don't want to recognize them, you feel embarrassed to think about it, but the previous sentence came to your mouth and finally swallowed it back, for fear that Xu Sanlang would feel uncomfortable.
Xu Sanlang looked at Cheng Xi with a cautious look, raised the corners of his lips, and said with a smile, "You don't have to be so careful, I had some knots in my heart before, but I was relieved to see that you could face your mother calmly." ”
Cheng Xi praised her good-looking beauty, and said dissatisfiedly, "So my misfortune has become a reason for you to be relieved?" Where is there such a thing as you, building your own happiness on the pain of others. ”
While talking, Cheng Xi pouted and hugged Xu Sanlang's arm and kept shaking it around, Xu Sanlang was softened by her shake, and said with a chuckle, "Are you in pain?" Why didn't I see it, a girl with no heart and no lungs. ”
Cheng Xi pursed his lips and responded, "I'm open-minded, nine times out of ten things in life are unsatisfactory, if everything is knotted in my heart, how can I live this life?" ”
Xu Sanlang stretched out his hand to hug Cheng Xi, and responded with a smile, "Okay, Xi'er is the most open-minded, go take a bath, the water should be ready." ”
Cheng Xi looked towards Xu Sanlang's gaze, and sure enough, he saw that the person who was grinding at the door before seemed to want to come in, and he looked hesitant.
When the two of them were cleaned up, the people who came from the main hall were already waiting at the door, saying that the princess and princess and His Royal Highness the Prince were already waiting for them to go over for dinner, but the eyes of the people kept secretly looking at Xu Sanlang, I am afraid that I finally understood that the Royal Highness that King Rui said was really not the same person as His Royal Highness the Prince, only the two of them actually looked exactly the same, so they kept looking curiously and secretly.
On the way to the main hall, Cheng Xi was a little nervous and pulled Xu Sanlang's arm, approached Xu Sanlang and whispered, "I'll see that one for a while...... Princess, what should I call her? ”
Xu Sanlang's body paused obviously, and then he spoke, "It's okay to call the princess." ”
Cheng Xi glanced at Xu Sanlang with some hesitation before nodding.
The two of them arrived at the main hall in a nervous mood, and watched from a distance as Ge Shu helped a woman stand at the door and kept looking at them, Xu Sanlang and Cheng Xi both paused slightly before continuing to go over there.
When the two of them walked up, they saw a soft-looking woman, shouting tired and looking at Xu Sanlang, and only muttered, "Okay, good ......"
But Xu Saburo was standing there, without opening his mouth or making any other movements, Cheng Xi saw that Xu Saburo didn't open his mouth or move, and he didn't know what to say, so he could only stand next to Xu Saburo in embarrassment.
Ge Shu, who was holding the woman on the side, glared at Xu Sanlang before he spoke, "Mother, don't be sad, don't you think my brother is good." ”
Ge Shu reassured, the woman finally returned to normal a little, and greeted Xu Sanlang Cheng Xi with tears in her eyes and a smile on her face, "Come into the house quickly, enter the house and eat." ”
Cheng Xi followed Xu Sanlang and followed him into the hall, but he thought in his heart, Xu Sanlang was a stuffy gourd, this is Xu Sanlang's mother, is it a little rude for him not to open his mouth and not speak himself, but what do you want to say?
While entering the house, Cheng Xi thought absentmindedly, but when he arrived at the table, he was still stunned, but fortunately he was caught by Xu Sanlang, and finally did not rush to the dinner table, and at this time, Princess Rui, who put all her energy on Xu Sanlang, finally noticed Cheng Xi beside Xu Sanlang.
Similarly, after Princess Rui looked at Cheng Xi carefully, she was also stunned, and only asked after a while, "Are you Zihao's daughter-in-law?" What is your relationship with Xue Yingying? ”
Cheng Xi was very helpless, but he still showed a decent smile on his face, and responded, "I grew up with my father-in-law in Shiqiao Village, Anyang County, and I don't know anyone from the Xue family, Princess Rui may have misunderstood." ”
Princess Rui was slightly stunned when she heard Cheng Xi's title, and then looked at Xu Sanlang, who was silent next to Cheng Xi, a trace of disappointment and sadness flashed in her eyes, and she replied, "It's rare to look so similar, it's really a coincidence." ”
Cheng Xi responded with a smile, "Yes, since I came to the capital, many people have said so." ”
While talking, Cheng Xi pulled Xu Sanlang's sleeve and motioned for Xu Saburo to say something, but Xu Saburo said it, but it was better not to say it.
Xu Sanlang couldn't think of anything to say, and when he saw the food on the table, he said, "I'm hungry, let's eat." ”
Rui Wang, who also didn't speak on the side, also nodded in response, "Let's eat first." ”
Both of them cherish words like gold, Cheng Xi peeked at King Rui, and then at Xu Sanlang, I have to say, in the end, it is father and son, this person who doesn't like to talk and likes to pretend to be cold is really the same.
King Rui spoke, everyone also began to move chopsticks, Princess Rui obviously couldn't hide her sadness on her face, her long-lost son finally met, neither as excited as her, nor did she say a word to her.
King Rui is really as rumored outside, he loves Princess Rui very much, and when he saw Princess Rui eating, he was absent-minded, and his face was difficult to hide his loss, so he couldn't open his mouth to say Xu Sanlang, so he kept holding dishes for Princess Rui, coaxing Princess Rui to eat more, but Ge Shu came to Princess Rui's ear to comfort her, "Mother, my brother usually looks like that, like a wooden stake, don't be sad." ”
Xu Sanlang raised his eyes, glanced at Ge Shu, and then continued to eat, Cheng Xi looked at Xu Sanlang like this, and made Princess Rui unhappy, so he simply went along with Ge Shu, "Yes, they are more taciturn when they are fair, don't worry about him, I am with him, sometimes I have to give him anger." ”
While speaking, Cheng Xi also gave Princess Rui a chopstick dish and said, "This dish is good, you can eat more, it still has the effect of cooling and reducing fire in summer." ”
Hearing Cheng Xi's words, Xu Sanlang glanced at Cheng Xi again, and Cheng Xi hurriedly showed him a flattering smile.
Princess Rui heard the comfort of Ge Shu and Cheng Xi, and Cheng Xi showed favor with the dishes, the expression on her face finally became relaxed, and she gradually began to chat with Cheng Xi warmly, asking about their life in Anyang County, Cheng Xi tried her best to pick out the good ones and tell her, Ge Shu interjected from time to time, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was also happy.
Only Xu Saburo and King Rui basically maintained the good virtue of being silent throughout the whole process, but the expression on their faces was quite gentle, and they didn't put on any bad faces.
After eating a meal, Cheng Xi was also relieved, and said in his heart that this Princess Rui was actually quite approachable and easy to get along with.
When she missed the meal, Princess Rui wanted to pull Cheng Xi to continue chatting, but was stopped by King Rui, "Everyone has been on the road for a long time, and they went to the palace for a walk, I'm afraid they are also tired, and there will be time to chat in the future, let them go back to rest first." ”
Although Princess Rui was reluctant, she finally nodded reluctantly, and asked Xu Sanlang and Cheng Xi to go back to Meiyuan to rest, and then let her subordinates call them when they had dinner in the evening.
Back in Meiyuan, Cheng Xi exhaled and said to Xu Sanlang, who had been silent on the side, "Didn't you say that you were relieved?" Why don't you say a word, fortunately I'm clever, otherwise it would be embarrassing to sit at a table and eat silently. ”
Xu Saburo replied helplessly, "I really don't know what to say." ”
Cheng Xi thinks about Xu Sanlang's past, he is indeed a man who is not good at words, although he is now better than before, he only faces his own mother who he has never seen, and he is afraid that he is also worried, and he does not dare to speak at all.
Cheng Xi patted Xu Sanlang's arm, pretending to be generous and said with a playful face, "Forget it, I don't care about you, but you still have to work hard to change, we have to stay here for so long, you can't look like this every time you meet and don't talk, in fact, I like Princess Rui a lot, I don't have a princess at all, and she is amiable." ”
Xu Saburo nodded in response, "I'll try to change it." Aren't you tired? You go back to the bedroom and rest for a while, and I'll go find Geshu. ”
Cheng Xi looked at Xu Sanlang suspiciously, but his hand was still holding Xu Sanlang's arm, and he seemed to be a little reluctant to let go, Xu Sanlang raised his hand and rubbed Cheng Xi's hair, and coaxed softly, "Good, I'll go and talk to him about something, and I'll be back in a while." ”
Cheng Xi finally let go of his hand, pursed his lips and responded, "Okay, then you go back early, don't delay too long, and if you see King Rui, your attitude is better, since you want to open it, and you plan to admit your identity, you will learn to get along well." ”
