Chapter 360: The City Lord of Youzhou
I don't know what the relationship between this Wenyuan prince and the city lord of Youzhou City is, with his carriage in front of the road, Xu Sanlang and his party entered Youzhou City smoothly, and then someone enthusiastically led the way for them, beckoning them and their group to go directly to the City Lord's Mansion.
Rushing non-stop along the way, Cheng Xi didn't have time to enjoy the excitement of the Southern Bazaar, but he didn't expect such a dangerous time.
There have been a lot of things over the years, and Cheng Xi is also very big-hearted, but he is too lazy to worry about it, and carefully looks at the market in Youzhou City.
Looking at the clothes of the people who come and go on the street, it seems that people here prefer to wear light-colored clothes, which are beautiful and beautiful, even if it is a man's clothes, the clothes will be embroidered with beautiful embroidery, which is delicate and abnormal, Cheng Xi observed and said to Xu Sanlang on the side, "This dress is beautiful, and the embroidery is also beautiful, let's come out and buy a few sets when we can." ”
Xu Sanlang was still thinking about things, but when he heard Cheng Xi's words, he also looked up and followed Cheng Xi to look outside, and said, "It's good." ”
After reading the clothes, Cheng Xi's eyes moved to the small stall again, "That is the kneading noodle person?" And shadow puppetry? ”
Cheng Xi was talking excitedly to Xu Sanlang while watching, Xu Sanlang was infected by Cheng Xi, and his originally tense thoughts dissipated a lot.
As the carriage passed through a few lively streets, it gradually became deserted, and the streets became wider and wider, and the surrounding buildings looked more imposing than the buildings in the previous bazaar.
It didn't take long for a voice to come from the front, "Young Master, the front is the City Lord's Mansion." ”
Cheng Xi instantly understood, it turned out that he had arrived at the location of the City Lord's Mansion, no wonder it was a little deserted and very magnificent.
Cheng Xi opened the curtain of the carriage in front of him, and saw that there was a magnificent mansion in front of him, and the sign hanging on the gate was actually Wenfu, and then thinking that the son of Wen Yuan was also surnamed Wen, Cheng Xi guessed in his heart, so he whispered to Xu Sanlang on the side, "This city lord of Youzhou City will not be any relative of Prince Wen Yuan, right?" ”
Xu Sanlang also had this conjecture, but he didn't say it, and when he heard Cheng Xi say this, he answered, "I'll know when I go in and see the city lord in a while." ”
Cheng Xi nodded, and saw that the guards at the gate had removed the threshold, and then beckoned them to drive the carriage into the mansion.
Cheng Xi looked at the city lord's mansion, and the layout was very elegant and quiet.
The carriage walked for a while, and then stopped in front of a very imposing house, and the guard outside said, "Master, ma'am, here we are." ”
Wenyuan Gongzi's carriage stopped in front, and Xu Sanlang followed Cheng Xi to get out of the carriage himself, and then someone called the guards and drove the carriage away.
Aunt Qin, who also got out of the carriage later, and Xiao Shi came over with a hundred years old, and they didn't know what was going on, so they only asked, "Are we here?" ”
Cheng Xi shook his head and answered, "Settle here for the time being." ”
Xiaoshi and Aunt Qin are also interested, and Cheng Xi didn't say anything in detail, and didn't ask much, pulling the hundred years old to follow behind Xu Sanlang and Cheng Xi, and came towards the front house.
From a distance, Cheng Xi saw an elegant-looking middle-aged man in his forties, saluting Wen Yuan, "The old slave has seen the young master." ”
Gongzi Wen Yuan waved his hand and said, "Now that you are the lord of Youzhou City, you are no longer my family slave, you must not call yourself an old slave in the future, and you must also pay attention to your current identity." ”
The middle-aged man had a smile on his face, and he replied again, "The young master taught me a lesson." ”
Gongzi Wen Yuan frowned slightly when he looked at the middle-aged man like this, but he didn't bother to continue to correct it, so he only said to him, "Introduce you to a few people, my friend." ”
After this washing, Xu Sanlang and Cheng Xi had also arrived here, and Gongzi Wenyuan introduced Xu Sanlang Cheng Xi first, "Brother Xu, Xi'er, this is Wen Chi, the lord of Youzhou City, Uncle Chi, this is Xu Sanlang, the eldest son of Jiangnan Rui Wangfu, this is his wife Cheng Xi." ”
Xu Sanlang and Cheng Xi greeted the city lord of Youzhou together, but Wen Chi, the city lord of Youzhou, was slightly stunned, and then responded to the two with a smile, and greeted, "Since you are a friend of the young master, you are also a distinguished guest over there, since the two of you are here, don't be polite, just be in your own home." ”
Xu Sanlang replied, "The Lord of Wencheng is polite. ”
Gongzi Wen Yuan was not polite at all, and said, "Uncle Chi, we haven't been able to have a good meal in the past few days, but do we have anything to eat?" ”
Lord Wencheng replied, "Of course, the young master beckoned your friend into the house first, it's very cold outside." ”
The group followed into the house, had breakfast here, and settled down in the Youzhou City Lord's Mansion, Xu Sanlang and Cheng Xi were also taken to the guest room by the next people.
There were only two people left, and Cheng Xi said to Xu Sanlang with emotion, "I didn't expect that the city lord of Youzhou City was actually the house slave of Prince Wenyuan?" Then this writer doesn't know what big names there are, no wonder, all countries are trying to win over. ”
Xu Saburo responded, "We should be safe for the time being, but we still have to send someone to Jiangnan as soon as possible to inform them of our situation and let them come to respond." ”
Cheng Xi nodded and responded, "Anyway, if we don't go out, those people are staring at the two of us, and it shouldn't be difficult to send someone out to ventilate and report the news." ”
Xu Sanlang said, "Well, I'll arrange it later, we need to leave early, so as not to affect this Youzhou City Lord." ”
As soon as Xu Sanlang finished speaking, the voice of Gongzi Wen Yuan came from the door, "Since you entered this Youzhou City, Youzhou City has nothing to do with you, so it's superfluous to worry about you." ”
Xu Sanlang looked at the prince of Wen Yuan at the door, and said, "You have already calculated since you took us into the city, as long as we enter this city lord's mansion, the city lord of Youzhou will already have nothing to do with Jiangnan." ”
Gongzi Wen Yuan said with a smile, "I didn't think about calculating Uncle Chi, I just really wanted to take you here to hide, as for the rest, it's not what I thought." ”
But it's not what he thought, but it's already like this.
Cheng Xi looked at Gongzi Wen Yuan and said, "I think we should still inform the city lord of our situation, but we can't just drag people into the water inexplicably." ”
Gongzi Wenyuan responded, "I have already told Uncle Chi, let's stay in Youzhou City with peace of mind, I came here to remind you, don't forget to send news to the capital earlier, I haven't been able to rest well in the past few days, I can finally sleep well, you can rest for a while." ”
After saying that, Gongzi Wenyuan yawned and turned around, and went to the place where he lived, Xu Sanlang hugged his fist towards Gongzi Wenyuan and said, "Thank you, Brother Wen." ”
As he left, Gongzi Wen Yuan raised his hand and waved, "Since we are friends, don't be so polite." ”
At this time, Aunt Qin and Xiao Shi also came over, and without waiting for Cheng Xi to ask, Aunt Qin answered, "I've been tired enough to be 100 years old in a hurry these days, and now I can finally lie on the bed and sleep, and I can sleep soundly." ”
Xiao Shi had already put the package in her hand and went over to make the bed.
Aunt Qin also planned to go over and sort out the clothes in the package that Xiaoshi put aside, but Cheng Xi refused, and said, "You haven't rested well these days, so don't toss, hurry back to the room and rest for a while, it's all cleaned up here, and you don't need to clean it up." ”
Aunt Qin looked at the master and his wife and looked tired, so she answered, "The master and the lady are still resting, and the slave and the little poem will go down first." ”
Cheng Xi nodded, and Aunt Qin and Xiao Shi left.
The subordinates of the City Lord's Mansion were very thoughtful, not long after Aunt Qin and Xiao Shi left, Cheng Xizheng felt uncomfortable lying in the carriage these days without washing properly, so someone thoughtfully sent hot water over.
Cheng Xi and Xu Sanlang sent the hot water here, washed away the dust stained by the hurry, changed into clean clothes in the package, and looked at the blue and black bags under Xu Sanlang's eyes, Cheng Xi urged Xu Sanlang to go to sleep.
Cheng Xi felt that he was fine, he slept fairly well last night, but Xu Sanlang was afraid that he was tired during this time, and Cheng Xi was also distressed.
However, Xu Sanlang couldn't rest now, and beckoned Cheng Xi to let her rest first, and he went to discuss things with Ah Wu.
Cheng Xi thought that the matter of sending the letter really couldn't be delayed, so he had to let Xu Sanlang go to Ah Wu, send Xu Sanlang to the door, and tell him to come back and rest early.
Xu Sanlang was not there, and Cheng Xi couldn't sleep when he stayed in the house, so he waited until Xu Sanlang came back before resting with Xu Sanlang.
Because of the tense emotions during this time, now that he is finally a little safer, Xu Saburo rarely sleeps peacefully for a while.
It wasn't until there was a knock on the door outside, and the shouting of Bai Sui at the door, Xu Sanlang and Cheng Xi woke up, Xu San Lang got up first and opened the door for Bai Sui, Cheng Xi also got up and cleaned up his messy clothes a little.
As soon as the hundred years old rushed in, he threw himself into Cheng Xi's arms with great interest, and said to Cheng Xi, "Cousin-in-law, Brother Wen said that after lunch, take me and Brother Ruyu to play on the street, you can go with me." ”
Cheng Xi smiled and reached out to pinch the hundred-year-old nose, and said, "Then you have to ask your cousin to see if he allows it."
When the hundred years old heard Cheng Xi's words, he turned his expectant gaze to Xu Sanlang on the side, but Xu Sanlang did not agree to the hundred years old, and only opened his mouth to answer, "I'll talk about it later." ”
He didn't want to sweep away the hundred-year-old Xing, but he was worried that it would not be safe to go out like this, although Prince Wen Yuan said that he had already told the city lord about the situation, and the city lord would definitely take precautions to prevent those people from entering Youzhou City, but he still had to confirm with the city lord in person.
The hundred-year-old is also well-behaved, although he is a little disappointed, but he does not make a fuss.
Xiao Shi and Aunt Qin also came over and cleaned up the house, and Aunt Qin took care of Cheng Xi's hair bun again, and then the group followed the people who came over to ask them to go to dinner and left the guest room here.
