Chapter 179: Stalling for Time

The waiting Xiao Er answered, "It's called a hundred days of drunkenness." ”

Cheng Xi nodded, "Yes, yes, 100 days of drunkenness, give us a taste." ”

Old Mrs. Xu said coldly, "Hmph, what kind of wine does a woman drink?" ”

Xu Wenyu hurriedly said, "I haven't drunk it for a long time, so I'll just serve a pot, and you can taste it too." ”

Outside, Mrs. Xu still didn't dare to lose face to her son, so she nodded and responded, "Since the fourth child also wants to drink, let's try it." ”

When Mrs. Xu watched the hard dishes served on the table one by one, she couldn't even put down the table, and the table of the guards next door was the same, she finally became a little unsettled, and said, "Fourth, even if we don't have the same time today, we can't be so expensive." After speaking, he didn't forget to glare at Cheng Xi fiercely.

Xu Wenyu was reprimanded by his own mother, but he didn't feel anything, even if he looked at the big fish and meat on this table, he felt a little too much, so he also opened his mouth and responded, "What my mother said is that my son will pay attention next time." ”

The pot that Cheng Xi carried was quite natural.

Cheng Xi didn't care about picking up the chopsticks and starting to eat, she didn't eat breakfast in the morning, she was already hungry, and at the other table, Ah Wu also picked up the chopsticks and ate, and the others looked at their own Lord Xu and didn't move the chopsticks, but they could only watch Ah Wu eat, and didn't dare to move the chopsticks first.

When Mrs. Xu saw that Cheng Xi actually ignored them and went first, she couldn't help but scold, "Before the elders moved their chopsticks, you started eating, a wild girl who doesn't know how to be respectful." ”

Cheng Xi's eyes flashed, he put down his chopsticks, and looked at Xu Wenyu with a look of grievance, where could Xu Wenyu stand Cheng Xi's little eyes, and unconsciously said, "Xi'er didn't eat breakfast in the morning, maybe she was hungry, mother, let's eat too." ”

After speaking, he took the lead in picking up chopsticks.

When Mrs. Xu saw that her son was like this, she only glared angrily, but Cheng Xi secretly opened her mouth in her heart, but her face was aggrieved, and she said, "Fourth uncle, can I eat?" ”

Before Xu Wenyu could eat it himself, he first gave Cheng Xi a braised lion's head and said, "Eat it." ”

Cheng Xi looked at the braised lion's head in the bowl, and then at Xu Wenyu's chopsticks, he hadn't eaten it yet, so he could barely endure it.

There were many people at the guard's table, and it was such a big fish and meat, and the food on the table was quickly snatched up.

There are only four people on the table on Cheng Xi's side, so full of a large table of dishes, plus Xu Wenyu and the three of them went out after breakfast, they couldn't eat much at all, and the result can be imagined.

Especially Mrs. Xu, looking at this table of dishes hurts, but she really can't eat it, so she can only stare at Cheng Xi who is eating happily, and she can't wait to stare at Cheng Xi out of a skeleton.

While eating, Cheng Xi also sent the dishes on the table to the guard's table, and said in his mouth, "Have you finished eating this dish here?" We still have it on our side. ”

After all, it's a shame to waste, she must not be able to eat such a large table of dishes, and it's a pity to throw it away.

After eating a meal, Cheng Xi was completely satisfied, Xu Wenyu took the initiative to settle the account, and then went out of Drunken Chunxuan, only out of the restaurant, but Cheng Xi did not get into the carriage, but opened his mouth and said to Xu Wenyu on the side, "Fourth uncle, we haven't prepared dry food, what should I do if I'm hungry?" Why don't the fourth uncle accompany me to buy some pastries and snacks? ”

Hearing Cheng Xi's delicate tone, Xu Wenyu was reluctant to refuse, and said directly to Xu Wenlong and Mrs. Xu on the side, "Second brother, you accompany your mother to the carriage first, and I will take Xi'er to the front to buy some pastries." ”

After that, he accompanied Cheng Xi to the pastry shop in front, of course, Ah Wu still followed behind.

Cheng Xi really planned to buy some food, and he was not afraid of delaying time at all, of course, he didn't forget to ask Xu Wenyu to help him taste it from time to time, followed by Ah Wu's big bags and small bags, and he had already helped carry a lot of them.

Xu Wenyu is very surprised by Cheng Xi's changes today, of course, Xu Wenyu is happy to see Cheng Xi's changes, he secretly thought in his heart, Cheng Xi is a smart person, she must understand her own thoughts, maybe she finally figured it out, so her attitude towards herself has changed so much.

After buying snacks, Cheng Xi went to the bookstore again and bought a bunch of miscellaneous books to pass the time, only then he was satisfied, seeing that it was almost noon, he got into the carriage that had been following them, and there were also a bunch of miscellaneous books and snacks in the carriage.

The carriage finally got out of the city and set off for Cloud City, on the carriage, Cheng Xi found a miscellaneous book and looked at it quietly, Xu Wenyu wanted to talk to Cheng Xi, in order not to let Xu Wenyu not be suspicious of her attitude before and after, Cheng Xi seemed to be addicted to the book and couldn't extricate himself, and didn't pay much attention to Xu Wenyu, Xu Wenyu was helpless, so he had to follow Cheng Xi to look at the pair of miscellaneous books.

Cheng Xi's eyes looked at the book in his hand, and he thought to himself, this Xu Wenyu fortunately still has a little bit of arrogance as a reader, and he has not been obscene enough to do anything to her in the carriage, he just sits opposite her in a regular manner, at most, he likes to stare at her obscenely, so she can barely bear it.

The carriage had been gone for almost an hour, and Cheng Xi began to make trouble again, Cheng Xi looked pitiful, looked at Xu Wenyu who was sitting opposite, and said, "Fourth uncle, it's so uncomfortable, I seem to be sick from the carriage, I want to get off." ”

Xu Wenyu looked at Cheng Xi and asked suspiciously, "Motion sickness?" ”

Cheng Xi opened her innocent little eyes and said pitifully, "Well, if I ride the carriage for a long time, I will get sick, fourth uncle, how long will it take for us to get to the foothold." ”

Xu Wenyu looked at Cheng Xi's little eyes looking at him, his heart was transformed by that little look, and he opened his mouth to say to the coachman outside, "How far is it from here to the nearest town?" ”

The coachman outside replied, "Lord Qiyu, it will take at least half an hour." ”

Xu Wenyu looked at Cheng Xi opposite, "Hold on a little longer, and let's rest when we get to the next town." ”

Cheng Xi shook his head, "I want to go out and ride a horse for a while." ”

Xu Wenyu looked at Cheng Xi suspiciously, "Do you know how to ride a horse?" ”

Cheng Xi shook his head and nodded, "I can ride a horse, but if someone wants to lead me in front, I'll go out to ride a horse, and let my family Ah Wu give me a strange horse." ”

After speaking, Cheng Xi added a sentence later, "Fourth uncle, is it okay?" ”

The delicate voice, Xu Wenyu unconsciously responded, Cheng Xi's goal was achieved, he couldn't wait to let the coachman stop, and then jumped out of the carriage himself.

Ah Wu has been following the carriage, coupled with Lian Wu's intelligence and intelligence, he listened to Cheng Xi's words clearly, and at this time, Ah Wu finally knew how her wife delayed time, that is, all kinds of things.

When Cheng Xi got out of the carriage, Ah Wu got off the horse by himself, and then helped Cheng Xi on the horse, Xu Wenyu looked out of the carriage window, and told Ah Wu, "You be careful." ”

Ah Wu despised Xu Wenyu in his heart, ignored Xu Wenyu, and waited for his wife to get on the horse, then pulled the horse and walked forward slowly.

While walking, Cheng Xi didn't forget to tell Ah Wu, "You walk slowly, the horse is very upside down." ”

So the whole team reduced their speed again, and the old lady Xu in the carriage behind was looking forward to going to Yuncheng to be the old lady of the governor's mansion, but the carriage suddenly reduced its speed, and after hearing the reason, she kept scolding Cheng Xi Fox Meizi all the way.

But no matter how angry she is, she is also afraid of her fourth son, and the fourth son likes this fox, and she can't help it.

The coachman said that the original half-hour journey to the next town turned out to be delayed for more than an hour, and it was almost sunset when he finally arrived at the town and found an inn to rest.

The inn in the town, the conditions are not too good, but Cheng Xi still picks and chooses a table of dishes, Xu Wenyu has changed his attitude since Cheng Xi, everything depends on Cheng Xi, and the price of meals in the town is much cheaper than in the county, and he will not care about the money for those meals.

After dinner, it was already night, and Xu Wenyu didn't plan to go at night, so he simply settled in the town inn, planning to continue his journey early the next morning.

Cheng Xi lived in a room by himself, Ah Wu lived next door, Cheng Xi was worried that he didn't sleep well all night, but Xu Wenyu didn't have any moths, this night was quiet, Cheng Xi didn't sleep well all night, and he couldn't get up the next morning, and only came out of the room yawning when he was full.

Waiting for Cheng Xi to have breakfast again, when the carriage set off, it was almost noon, and the old lady's eye knife kept floating towards Cheng Xide's body, if her eye knife could kill, Cheng Xi could be cut into pieces by her eye knife.

After the departure, there were various situations, and when Xu Wenyu was a little impatient, Cheng Xi pretended to be pitiful, and Xu Wenyu was done, so on this Yuncheng Road, there was a stop-and-go situation, and the situation continued, so Cheng Xi dragged it for five or six days before he finally arrived outside Yuncheng.

Cheng Xi is the second time to come to Cloud City, Cheng Xi has been tossing and turning for a while, basically learned to ride a horse by himself, sitting on horseback and looking at the gate of Cloud City, Cheng Xi sighed in his heart, if Xu Sanlang doesn't come again, he and Ah Wu will really be out of line.

When she entered Cloud City, Cheng Xi obviously felt that this Cloud City was not as prosperous as before, and there was a little more depression, and it became like this, probably because of the baptism of turmoil some time ago, but there was no chaos as her second brother and fourth brother said.

The carriage went straight to the Governor's Mansion of Yuncheng, Cheng Xi looked at the words at the door, and looked forward to it, Xu Sanlang, come soon.

Entering the house, the most excited person is Mrs. Xu, Cheng Xi looked at Mrs. Xu's excited appearance, it really looked like "Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden".

The housekeeper of the Governor's Mansion may be an old man who stayed before, and he treats Xu Wenyu very attentively, and even treats them very kindly.

It may be that he has just arrived in Cloud City, Xu Wenyu is also a little busy, so he only asked the housekeeper to arrange everyone's accommodation, and he went to get busy.

Cheng Xi was arranged in a courtyard, and the next person said that it was the closest to the main courtyard, that is, the closest to where Xu Wenyu lived, Cheng Xi frowned, and he still lived in obediently first, of course, Ah Wu still followed Cheng Xi inch by inch.

After entering the mansion, Cheng Xi began to carefully observe the situation in the mansion, this governor's mansion, different from the Xu Mansion in the county seat, is full of guards and soldiers, and there are patrol officers and soldiers from time to time, and they are heavily guarded, Cheng Xi feels that a governor's mansion is as heavily guarded as a palace, and it is really a bit of a fuss, but then thinking about it, Xu Wenyu may be worried that this Li Bin's old department will come back to take revenge.

But with such a tight guard, Cheng Xi was even more worried, if he clashed with Xu Wenyu again, just relying on how Ah Wu would deal with so many guards in the Governor's Mansion, even if Ah Wu wanted to escape with her, it would be difficult to be so heavily guarded.

After arriving at the Governor's Palace, Cheng Xi and Ah Wu stayed in the courtyard arranged for them.

There are people arranged in the yard, different from the two little girls in the county, the two maids in their yard obviously have many years of experience as maids, and they don't talk much about the rules, they don't need to say anything if they need to do anything, when they don't need them, they are completely like invisible people, Cheng Xi wants to inquire about the situation with the two, but he doesn't know anything with a tight mouth, and he can't ask anything at all.
