Xu Sanlang looked at Cheng Xi with a look of disbelief, and couldn't help but reach out and scratch Cheng Xi's nose, and responded, "Of course I know, Huai'an City is another prefecture city on the border with Yuncheng, in the opposite direction to Yuecheng, closer to the northern border, and it is also the border fortress city at the junction of the Northern Liao Kingdom and our Great Zhou. ”

Cheng Xi heard Xu Sanlang's words, frowned and said while thinking, "If this Xu Wenyu went to Huai'an City to build the Xue family, why did he go to such a remote border city to meet him?" Could it be some conspiracy? It can't be related to the Liao country, right? ”

Xu Sanlang looked at Cheng Xi with a worried look, and said with a chuckle, "You really think enough, the Xue family is a military general, the Liaozhou border on Huai'an's side is guarded by the Xue family's military generals, Xu Wenyu goes to Huai'an to see the Xue family, as for what you are worried about, it is impossible at all, the old general of the Xue family, he killed the prince of the Liao State back then, this blood and sweat feud can be described as a common day, you say that the Xue family is involved with whom, and it will not have anything to do with the Liao State." This Xue family has such a status in the Great Zhou, also because of this incident at the beginning. ”

Cheng Xi, who was full of conspiracy theories and thought he had discovered some big secret, was rejected by Xu Sanlang's words, Cheng Xi pursed his lips and continued, "Then it seems that this Xue family still has some ability, will it be okay for Ge Shu to regret the marriage at that time?" ”

Xu Sanlang shook his head, "It's a pity that General Xue is still old in the end, and his children and grandchildren don't put their minds on galloping on the battlefield to make meritorious contributions, but on the power of the court to fight for power, and in the end they have gone downhill, and they are no longer the Xue family as before." ”

Although Cheng Xi doesn't know much about politics, he also understands that he has military power in his hands, which is something more real than anything else.

Xu Sanlang looked at Cheng Xi and looked at the candlestick dancing in front of the table without speaking, so he opened his mouth and continued to ask, "What else do you want to know?" ”

Cheng Xi yawned and responded, "It's gone, sleepy, go to sleep." ”

Xu Saburo picked up the book he had put down on the side and said, "You go to sleep first, and I'll read it for a while." ”

Cheng Xi stood up, nodded, and replied while going over to the bed, "Okay." ”

After breakfast the next day, I originally planned to go to Xu Wenyu to settle accounts, because Xu Wenyu no longer had to put it on hold, Cheng Xi had nothing to do, and was thinking about finding something to do, so Ah Yi came over.

After saluting Xu Sanlang Cheng Xi, he said, "The maid named Xiaohong has been recruited." ”

Cheng Xi raised his head and looked at Ah Yi, "So fast?" ”

Ah Yi's eyes flashed, and he answered, "This woman's identity is really not simple, the master and his wife must not have imagined it." ”

Cheng Xi glanced at Ah Yi, "Since we can't think of it, then you can say it quickly." ”

Ah Yi stretched out his uninjured hand, touched his nose, and said stupidly, "This Xiaohong is the emperor's person, and he tried to deliberately get close to the second son back then, and then lurked beside the second son." ”

Hearing Ah Yi's words, Cheng Xi and Xu Sanlang were also a little surprised, Cheng Xi opened his mouth and said, "It seems that this emperor is really not simple, his allies and cousins are not at ease, and he has to place a chess piece by his side, no wonder this Xiaohong has not been exposed at the beginning, it turns out that she has a common goal, so the purpose of her attack this time?" ”

Ah Yi heard Cheng Xi evaluate today's saint so unscrupulously, and he didn't know what to do when he lowered his head, and he heard Cheng Xi ask himself again, so he continued, "She is not on the emperor's orders this time, but an advocate action, she knows that the emperor has always wanted Zhao Yu to enter the palace, seeing Zhao Yu and the second son walking so close, and thinking about the emperor's sake, she didn't expect it to be exposed like this, otherwise I am afraid that I will always be buried next to the second son as an eyeliner." ”

Cheng Xi couldn't help but admire, "This Xiaohong is really heartfelt, after so many years by Ge Shu's side, he has always remembered the emperor in his heart, and even this kind of thing is always in mind for the emperor." ”

Ah Yi responded, "She said that the emperor rescued her from the Empress Dowager Murong at the beginning. ”

Cheng Xi nodded clearly, "It turned out to be a life-saving grace." ”

After the report was finished, Ah Yi opened his mouth and said, "Does the master's wife still have orders?" Without instructing his subordinates, he retired first. ”

Xu Sanlang, who had never spoken, suddenly said, "Tell me, what's wrong with people?" ”

Ah Yi's eyes flashed again, and he stammered, "That, it seems, the medication is a little too strong, and it has become a little silly." ”

Xu Saburo frowned slightly, "Find a way to cure her." ”

Ah Yi looked at Xu Sanlang, "Huh? Why did you cure her? ”

Xu Saburo replied, "Of course it's still useful." ”

Ah Yi's eyes flickered and he stammered again, "That, my subordinates can only try their best, and I'm not sure if they can be cured." ”

As soon as Xu Sanlang heard Ah Yi's words, he knew that the chance of being cured was basically small, so he waved his hand helplessly, "If it can't be cured, let Steward Wu find a place to raise it, don't leak her news." ”

Ah Yi nodded clearly, which means that the emperor should not let him know that his chess pieces have been exposed, this matter should not be difficult to do.

When Ah Yi left, Cheng Xi couldn't help but sigh, "It's too complicated, it involves the Xue family for a while, and the emperor for a while, it's really a mess." ”

Xu Sanlang reached out and pinched Cheng Xi's pouting bun face, and said, "Don't think about it if it's too complicated, do you want to go out for a walk?" ”

Cheng Xi, who was bored and didn't know what to do, his eyes lit up, "Where are you going?" What's the fun? ”

Xu Sanlang responded, "There is a fairy dock not far from Cloud City, and there is a lotus pond over there, the lotus flowers bloom very beautifully in summer, and they should almost open at this time, do you want to go and see it?" ”

Cheng Xi nodded hurriedly and responded, "Okay, okay, let's go now." ”

The two of them still went over to look at Ge Shu, Zhao Yu was still guarding over there, but he was obviously tossed by Ge Shu and seemed to be a little impatient, and when they saw Cheng Xi and Xu Sanlang coming over, they didn't show a smile, and went out with an empty bowl.

After watching Ge Shu leave, Xu Sanlang rarely said, "Take it when you see it, don't play too much." ”

Ge Shu came back to his senses for a while, looking at Xu Sanlang and Cheng Xi with an expression of "you are so self-conscious", Ge Shu began to reflect on himself, have you had any fun?

Ah Yi couldn't go out with Xu Sanlang because he still had the mess he made to clean up, so Ah Wu was the only one who followed Cheng Xi and Xu Sanlang out, and then Steward Wu arranged a carriage and sent a few people to Yuncheng Wharf.

Cheng Xi is still the first time to come to the wharf of Yuncheng, before Cheng Xi heard that the second brother and the fourth brother are working at the wharf of Yuncheng, it turns out that this wharf of Yuncheng is really lively, the upstream is full of all kinds of cargo ships, and many workers shuttle between the wharf and the cargo ship to carry goods.

It should be a passenger ship in the middle, and many people come and go with luggage.

Downstream, there are some beautiful boats, and there are many men and women outside to attract customers.

Xu Sanlang took Cheng Xi to the wharf where the beautiful flower boats were moored, and as soon as a few people arrived at the wharf, many people began to solicit guests, "Guest officer, please come here, there is wine, meat and people singing in our boat." ”

"A few guest officers, there are dancers in our boat, and that figure is comparable to Zhao Feiyan."

……

Cheng Xi heard that there is actually Zhao Feiyan here? Turning his head to look at Xu Sanlang, he asked, "Who is Zhao Feiyan?" Cheng Xi wanted to know, was it the Zhao Feiyan he was thinking?

Xu Saburo responded, "A very famous dancing girl, it is said that she is as light as a swallow and can dance in the palm of her hand. ”

Cheng Xi heard Xu Sanlang's answer, and said in his heart, "It's true." So he said, "Let's go to that Zhao Feiyan's boat." ”

Xu Sanlang nodded, took Cheng Xi's hand and went over there, and Ah Wu was also busy following the two of them.

When the owner of the flower boat saw a few people coming, he greeted him warmly, "A few sons, please." ”

only waited for a few people to approach, but his eyes kept aiming at the hands held by Xu Sanlang and Cheng Xi.

Cheng Xi's eyes have always been attracted by this beautiful ship, so he didn't find the boss's abnormality, but Xu Sanlang looked down at Cheng Xi suspiciously, and then remembered that Cheng Xi went out in men's clothes, and in order to look like a man, Cheng Xi also deliberately tossed his chest for a long time.

And Xu Sanlang was pulling Cheng Xi at this time, in the eyes of the boss of the flower boat, it was two men holding hands, although there were some people who had some special hobbies, and they were all sneaky and unsightly, but they were holding hands outside with such fanfare, the picture was really weird.

Xu Sanlang had to let go of Cheng Xi's hand, Cheng Xi got on the boat excitedly, opened the light yarn on the boat, and entered the cabin, the furnishings inside are really exquisite, in addition to the pillars that support the entire cabin, the surrounding is surrounded by light yarn, the breeze blows and sprinkles is good-looking, and you can see the scenery outside, the cabin is spacious, the tables and chairs inside are soft, everything is available, Cheng Xi only looked at it, I didn't expect there to be such a boat, take such a boat to the lake to see the lotus, it is really enjoyable.

The owner of the flower boat stood at the door, and asked with a flattering smile, "How many sons are still satisfied?" ”

Cheng Xi looked left and right and asked, "Didn't you say that there is Zhao Feiyan?" ”

The boss of the flower boat heard Cheng Xi's voice, and was slightly stunned, and then reacted, how did he hold hands with the two sons, it turned out that this short man was a little lady.

Knowing in his heart that he would not break it, the owner of the flower boat replied with a smile, "If the sons are satisfied, they will pay the deposit first, and then the little one will invite the dancer." ”

Xu Sanlang and Ah Wu both looked at Cheng Xi, the meaning was self-evident, and let her decide that Cheng Xi had already sat down on the soft collapse, and answered, "That's it." ”

Ah Wu took out the silver from his arms and handed it to the owner of the flower boat, the owner of the flower boat looked at the ingot of silver in his hand, and saw that the group took out the silver without even asking the price, and knew that it was a rich guest, and after taking the silver, he said, "Wait a few sons, and the small ones will be arranged." ”

Cheng Xi looked at the silver in the hand of the owner of the flower boat and called him, "Wait." ”

The owner of the flower boat stopped and turned around, "What else does the little boy command?" ”

Cheng Xi asked, "How much does it cost for us to have a trip to the lake?" ”

The flower boat owner's eyes flashed, and he responded, "It's not expensive, it's not expensive, it's fifty taels of silver." ”

Cheng Xi frowned slightly, and said to Xu Sanlang Awu, "Let's go." ”

As soon as Cheng Xi finished speaking, the owner of the flower boat changed his words, "Thirty taels, it just opened today, I will give you a little discount, thirty taels." ”

In fact, Cheng Xi didn't want to bargain, but really felt that fifty taels was too expensive, fifty taels, you could buy a lot of food, since she came here, Cheng Xi has learned to be careful in her calculations, fifty taels to swim in a lake, she really thinks it's not cost-effective.

And just when Cheng Xi hesitated, the boss changed his words again, gritted his teeth and said, "Twenty taels, this is the lowest, it's not cheap to invite a dancer on the boat." ”

This time, without waiting for Cheng Xi to speak, Xu Sanlang responded, "Go and arrange it." ”

Seeing that the business was finally saved, the owner of the flower boat breathed a sigh of relief and responded with a smile, "Okay, wait a few moments, the little ones will go right away and come back soon." ”

When I went out, I said in my heart, there is a woman here, that is, she will be careful, and when she saw that the big business was in hand, she was disturbed by this woman, but fortunately, she reacted quickly enough to save the business.

As soon as the boss went out, Cheng Xi frowned and began to reprimand the two, "Don't you both go out to spend money and ask the price first?" All the money is taken out casually? ”

Then Cheng Xi pointed at Xu Sanlang, "Especially you, it's not like you haven't had a hard life, you don't know how many things you can do with fifty taels of silver?" I also dig out casually. ”

Xu Saburo hurriedly spoke, "What the lady said is that she has been taught for her husband." ”

It was rare to see Xu Sanlang like this, Cheng Xi was amused by Xu Sanlang and sneered, and then changed the topic, "Are we going to take this boat to that immortal dock?" ”
