After dinner, it was still early before the curfew, Cheng Xi took Xu Sanlang out of the door, went straight to the gold and silver jewelry store, knocked on the door of the store that had closed, and bought a set of longevity locks for the fat boy of Sister Ying's family.

Since it is in Cloud City, he will definitely be able to buy these things, Cheng Xi doesn't want to learn the washing of the eldest brother's child again, so he will directly send two gold ingots.

This Zhao family is different from the uncle's family, the uncle's family sends two gold ingots when they wash the three, which is to earn enough face for the uncle, and the people of Lihua Village, some of them are afraid that they will never see such an ingot in their lives.

However, the Zhao family is afraid that the most important thing is gold and silver, and of course they must pay more attention to their hearts when sending things.

The two of them bought the longevity lock, didn't pick it up for too long, and went back before the curfew, and Steward Wu personally guarded the door for them.

Resting here for one night, early the next morning, Ah Wu drove the carriage, Cheng Xi went to Zhao's house with Xu Sanlang, and Ah Yi took Cheng Xin out to visit Cloud City, and set off for Huai'an after noon.

The Zhao family was very happy to see Cheng Xi and them, Wang Yingsheng's child has been more than two months old, and he is very cute and white, Xu Sanlang couldn't help frowning when he compared it with his eldest brother's child after seeing it.

Unfortunately, Uncle Wang happened to be seen by Uncle Wang on the side, so he asked dissatisfiedly, "What, what's wrong with my eldest grandson?" San Lang, what are you frowning about? ”

Uncle Wang didn't take Xu Sanlang's messy identity in his eyes at all, and regarded them as the former San Lang and Xi'er, which was a lot more cordial.

Of course, there are no scruples when he speaks, and when he saw Xu Sanlang staring at his eldest grandson frowning, he was a little unhappy.

Xu Sanlang was suddenly questioned by Uncle Wang like this, but he was a little embarrassed, and he said in his heart that he was really getting more and more moody now.

The embarrassed expression flashed, Xu Sanlang quickly recovered his indifference, and said, "I only suddenly thought that the children of my eldest brother's family are not as good-looking as Uncle Wang's grandson." ”

Uncle Wang was happy when he heard it, and the gloomy unhappiness on his face before was swept away, and some people praised his grandson for his good looks, of course he was happy, and even asked excitedly, "Your eldest brother also has a child?" Male and female babies? Why doesn't it look good? ”

Xu Sanlang just thought about answering Uncle Wang, and didn't want Uncle Wang to keep asking, especially the questioning eyes that Cheng Xi also looked at, Xu Sanlang felt that this frown was really a big mistake, and he originally wanted to remain silent, anyway, he was a taciturn character, and it was nothing if he didn't speak.

I didn't want Cheng Xi to hear Xu Sanlang's answer, so he asked dissatisfiedly, "Why is Xiao Jiu not good-looking?" Tell me about it. ”

The expression on that face obviously reads, if you don't say it well, you want to look good, Xu Saburo dared to say it, he just replied indiscriminately, "Actually, Xiao October is also very good-looking." ”

Zhao Ke, who is also a man on the side and has just been promoted to become a father, understands Xu Sanlang a little, and responds with a smile, "When Brother Xu looked at your eldest brother's child, he was just born, right?" ”

Xu Sanlang nodded, and Zhao Ke replied with a smile, "Then it's no wonder, I saw that my son was still ugly, his wrinkled little face was not as big as half a palm for me, and his face was also red, like a ...... boiled in a pot."

Before Zhao Ke finished speaking, he was ruthlessly destroyed by Wang Ying, who is usually gentle and virtuous on the side, and he had to continue to say only half of what he said, otherwise he would have to bruise a few more pieces of land on his body, "I haven't finished speaking, I just gave birth to this, because it didn't grow like this, and it looks better when it slowly opens, when Brother Xu sees the child of your eldest brother's family, it is when he was born, and when you look at it when the moon is full, it will definitely change." ”

Cheng Xi responded, "I think the newborn baby is also quite cute, a small lump." ”

Wang Ying replied in agreement, "Yes, I don't know what kind of eyes their men have." ”

Zhao Ke touched his nose and stopped talking, Xu Sanlang was very grateful to Zhao Ke, and finally no one asked him this question anymore.

Of course, everyone in the Zhao family saw that Cheng Xi liked children so much, and they all asked Xu Sanlang and Cheng Xi to have one earlier, Cheng Xi was really moved, seeing that everyone in the family had cute little meat dumplings, she also had some expectations.

On the contrary, it was Xu Sanlang, after seeing the children one by one, he retreated in his heart, thinking that he should not let Cheng Xi have children for the time being, and he had to continue to drink the medicine.

When Cheng Xi and Xu Saburo left, whether it was Cheng Xi or Wang Ying, they were very reluctant, but Cheng Xi and they still had something to do, and they reluctantly parted after lunch.

Cheng Xi Xu Saburo will go in a while, Ah Yi and Cheng Xin have been waiting at the door early, and even Cheng Xi and the things they should pack have already helped them pack up, just waiting for them to come back, and they can set off directly.

It seems that Cheng Xin is very anxious to go to Huai'an County, but the more Cheng Xin is like this, although Ah Yi has done what Cheng Xin has instructed, the expression on his face is getting colder and colder.

In the next two days, Ah Yi, who originally liked to lie in the carriage with Cheng Xin, changed to riding a horse outside every day, and he could not see a trace of worry on his face.

Cheng Xin also seemed to notice Ah Yi's change, but she didn't say anything, she was still the same as before, she would care about Ah Yi and talk to Ah Yi, but when she saw that Ah Yi didn't treat her like before, she occasionally showed a trace of loss in her eyes.

Huai'an is not too far from Cloud City, the group is not too fast, almost three days, they arrived at Huai'an City, compared to Cloud City, the boundary of Huai'an City is more desolate, probably because of the border.

Border places are always vulnerable to war, and most people are reluctant to live on the border.

However, Huai'an City seems to be more lively than Cloud City, before coming to Huai'an City, Cheng Xi remembered Xu Sanlang, and he didn't have time to take a closer look, so he followed the Xue family's team out of Huai'an and went to the capital, and only then did he have time to take a closer look at Huai'an City.

It may be because of the border, there are a lot of Liao merchants who come to Huai'an City to do business and sell things, since there are Liao merchants, of course, there are also merchants from other regions of the Great Zhou Dynasty who come to Huai'an City to buy things.

Cheng Xi felt that this Huai'an City was like a commercial city, and it was a central city for the exchange of commerce and trade between Liao and the Great Zhou.

In the place of Da Zhou, Cheng Xi went to the capital for a trip, but he visited a lot and learned a lot, but for Da Liao, Cheng Xi didn't know anything except that he had heard about it, and at this time, looking at the lively scene on the street, Cheng Xi was a little interested, and pulled Xu Sanlang to go down for a walk.

Xu Sanlang looked at Cheng Xi's excited face, how could he be reluctant to refuse, but before getting out of the carriage, Xu Sanlang put a hat on himself, and then found a veil for Cheng Xi, and the two of them packed up before getting out of the carriage.

When Xu Sanlang put a veil on Cheng Xi, Cheng Xi was still a little curious and asked Xu Sanlang why he was like this? Is there any acquaintance he can't see in Huai'an City?

Xu Sanlang interrupted Cheng Xi's whimsical thinking and told Cheng Xi that because this Huai'an City is mixed, there are people everywhere, and it is best not to show his true face.

In fact, Xu Sanlang is even more selfish, there are so many people on this street, Xu Sanlang doesn't want Cheng Xi to walk on the street, and he has to be stared at by those chaotic people all the time.

However, this Huai'an City is really different from other places, there are still many people dressed up like Xu Sanlang and Cheng Xi, and they are walking on the street in such a costume, but they don't look abrupt at all.

Cheng Xi curiously shuttled through the stalls of those Liao merchants, but saw a lot of unique gadgets, thinking that since he came, he had to buy something special to bring back, if there was something he liked or something special, Cheng Xi paid for it.

After shopping for a while, thinking that the carriage was following, Cheng Xin was reluctant to get down and sat in the carriage, Cheng Xi and Xu Saburo took the things they bought and went back to the carriage, and then the guards inquired about the location of the Zuiqingfeng Restaurant and went directly to the restaurant.

When they arrived at the door of the restaurant, Cheng Xi and the others all got out of the carriage, but no one came forward to greet them at the door of the restaurant.

I raised my head and looked at the plaque at the door, the words on it were very beautiful, but it seemed that no one had taken care of it for a long time, and it was covered with a layer of dust, and the door was the same.

Cheng Xi just stood at the door and watched, and felt a smell of desolation, as if it was a place where no one had lived for a long time, and it had been abandoned for a long time, where it looked like a restaurant, so it was no wonder that there were no guests coming to the door.

I just don't know if no one came to the door to become like this, or if it became like this because no one came to the door.

Cheng Xi put away the disgust on his face, and then the group stepped into the door of the drunken breeze, there was no one inside, and the eyes of several people swept left and right, only to finally see a person sleeping on the counter.

Looking at such a restaurant, everyone only frowned, and Ah Yi said loudly, "Shopkeeper, a guest has come to the door." ”

The man lying on the counter was frightened, raised his head suddenly, saw several people in the hall, thought he was dazzled, and rubbed his eyes.

After confirming that there were really a few people in the store, the man hurriedly got up and greeted excitedly as he came over, "How many people are objectively staying in the store?" ”

Looking at the skinny man in front of him, who was about fifty years old, how did he look like a fleeing refugee, Cheng Xi frowned slightly, such a person actually appeared in the restaurant, it seemed that he was still the only person in the restaurant, this drunk breeze, Cheng Xi didn't know how to describe it when he was in a complicated mood.

Cheng Xin took out a sign from his sleeve and handed it to the thin man, the man saw the token, he looked at Cheng Xin excitedly, and only spoke after a while, "You are the owner." ”

Cheng Xin nodded, and asked in a cold voice, "How did this restaurant become like this?" ”

The thin man was so excited that he couldn't wait to wipe his tears, and he didn't answer Cheng Xin's question, but said to himself excitedly, "The owner, I can be regarded as looking forward to your coming, if you don't show up again, the old slave really can't hold on." ”

After finishing speaking, the thin man really began to wipe away his tears, which made everyone stunned.

On the side, Ah Yi looked at the thin man and couldn't do it, so he ordered the two guards, you go and clean up a clean place and come out for the masters to sit.

The two guards went quickly, but Cheng Xi asked curiously, "Are you a slave?" ”

The thin man wiped his eyes, nodded and responded, "The old slave was bought back by the housekeeper next to the drunken Qingfeng owner, and then the slave was included in the name of this drunken Qingfeng, and was taken care of by the housekeeper, so that the old slave became the shopkeeper of this Huai'an drunken Qingfeng, but later the owner and the housekeeper seemed to disappear, and never appeared again, no one cared about this drunk Qingfeng, and the business was not as good as day by day, it was okay before, the old slave took care of the restaurant, and barely maintained the livelihood of everyone in the restaurant, but later, I didn't know how to reveal the news, It began to be rumored in the industry that Drunken Qingfeng had no owner, so other restaurants in Huai'an began to eyeing Drunken Qingfeng, giving Drunken Qingfeng all kinds of stumbling blocks, and gradually there were no customers. ”

The thin man looked regretful and continued, "It's a pity that the prosperity of Drunken Qingfeng is no longer there, and some restaurants are even more hateful in order to squeeze down Drunken Qingfeng. ”

Speaking of this, the thin man wiped his tears before continuing, "Pity my son, there was a conflict with those ruffians and hooligans, at that time, the business of the store was not good, and the second child had already left, where is our father and son who are the opponents of those ruffians and hooligans, my son is like this, he broke a leg like this, and now he is still lying on the bed and can't move, after that, this drunken breeze is only our father and son, guarding this empty drunken breeze to barely survive, occasionally receiving one or two individual guests, barely making a living. ”
