"Ling'er, no, Xiaowei, you have to listen to Xiaochi's words, don't be naughty."

"I know, everyone has changed their faces, and they are still so verbose."

Zhao Ling'er grunted dissatisfiedly.

"You girl!"

Zhao Qiankun was helpless, gave some advice, turned around and left the restaurant.

"Xiaowei, before the matter is over, you are Xiaoxi's distant cousin, and in front of outsiders, you have to call Xiaoxi your cousin."

"Got it."

"Now that I've got a makeover, can I just go out and have a look?"

Zhao Ling'er suddenly asked excitedly.

"No, you have to accompany Xiaoxi in the backyard, if you feel bored, you can review your homework, be careful that I will spot check the exam!"

Zhang Xiaochi said in an unquestionable tone.

……

When the time came to the afternoon, Zhang Xiaochi was guiding Liu Meng and others in the back kitchen, and Guo Yan suddenly found him in a hurry.

"What's wrong?"

Looking at Guo Yan, who was panting, Zhang Xiaochi asked curiously.

"Brother Zhang, the little prince is back."

"Get out and see, he's going to pass by here."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaochi put down the things in his hand and came to the door with Guo Yan, just in time to see a large group of people beating gongs and drums not far away, walking along the street.

Zhang Xiaochi's eyesight was amazing, and he found the handsome man sitting on the tall horse at a glance.

This person is magnificent, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, handsome facial features, and exudes a temperament that makes people dare not look directly.

"No wonder you're so confident."

Zhang Xiaochi whispered to himself, he stared at the little prince for a while, and then turned his attention to Zhao Hongde, he and the little prince went hand in hand, talking and laughing while moving forward.

"Uncle."

When the mighty team came to the door of the restaurant, Zhang Xiaochi smiled and said hello.

"Xiaochi, is this your new restaurant?"

Seeing Zhang Xiaochi, a smile suddenly appeared on Zhao Hongde's face, and he controlled the horse to stop and asked.

"Yes, not long after it opened, when will my uncle be free, you can come to Chixi Restaurant to drink, I will treat you."

Zhang Xiaochi replied with a smile.

"Well, I haven't drunk your wine in a long time."

Zhao Hongde nodded, and then introduced Zhang Xiaochi.

"Xiaochi, let me introduce you, this is the little prince."

"See the little prince."

Zhang Xiaochi bowed his hand slightly.

"I know you, you are Lord Zhang Xiaochi Zhang who helped General Zhao defeat the Jin army in Qingwa Town, right?"

"The little prince praised it falsely, this is all the emperor's good use of people, followed by everyone's credit, I don't dare to be greedy for the merit of the sky."

Zhang Xiaochi replied modestly.

The little prince smiled, obviously satisfied with Zhang Xiaochi's answer.

"General Zhao, you and I have traveled very hard all the way, why don't you dine at Lord Zhang's restaurant?"

"Since the little prince is interested, I also just want to rest."

Zhao Hongde replied with a smile.

After speaking, the two jumped off the horseback, entered the restaurant at the invitation of Zhang Xiaochi, and found a seat for the two, and Zhang Xiaochi set out to prepare.

First, let Guo Yan personally bring a pot of good wine to entertain, while he went to the kitchen to cook, and it didn't take long, and a table of sumptuous dishes was presented in everyone's sight.

"I heard General Zhao say just now that Master Zhang is not only proficient in winemaking, but also has good cooking skills, but now it seems that it is better to see than to hear."

"It's good if the little prince likes it."

Zhang Xiaochi replied.

"Come, sit down and drink together."

Zhang Xiaochi thanked first, and then sat down.

"Guo Yan, pour wine."

Zhang Xiaochi opened his mouth to command, and when Guo Yan poured wine for the three of them, he got up and toasted with a wine glass.

"Uncle, little prince, I am not well entertained below, so I drink first as a respect."

After speaking, a glass of wine was already in the stomach.

"Good amount of wine."

The little prince smiled slightly, touched Zhao Hongde, and drank the wine in one gulp.

"Lord Zhang, I heard that the new weapons in the army, the bow and crossbow, and the giant bow and crossbow were designed by you, can you tell me how you did it?"

"I have lived in the deep mountains and old forests since I was a child, and I often hunt, so I often think about how to find prey more conveniently, and I have been mixed for a while, but it has also allowed me to see more, so I made a bow and crossbow."

Zhang Xiaochi casually found a reason to explain.

"I've seen all your bows and crossbows, but why are the crossbows I forged so far less powerful than yours?"

"This is related to forging, not only to look at the technology, but also the key forging conditions are also very harsh, both are indispensable."

Next, the little prince asked a lot about things in Qingwa Town, and when it was over, he began to ask Zhang Xiaochi if he knew about Ling'er.

"Qiyu little prince, Ling'er ran away from home and didn't tell anyone, and I don't know where she went?"

Zhang Xiaochi replied seriously.

"Really?"

"Really."

"But I heard that Ling'er ran away from home last time and went to Qingwa Town, and you took her in!"

"The little prince is right, when I was in Qingwa Town, Ling'er did live in my house."

"In that case, you must be familiar with each other, she really didn't tell you when she ran away from home, and she didn't come to you?"

The little prince asked again.

"Really no, my uncle also knows that after Ling'er runs away from home, he won't tell anyone, let alone find someone familiar."

Zhang Xiaochi shifted the spearhead to Zhao Hongde.

"Little prince, this can be guaranteed by the entire Zhao family, not only that, as long as people who are familiar with Ling'er know, she will not go to find someone she knows when she runs away from home."

Zhao Hongde replied seriously.

The little prince just smiled, his eyes searched the restaurant, and finally landed on the door leading to the backyard.

"Why is it locked?"

"Little Lord Qi, that door is the passage to the backyard, and Mrs. Zai Xia lives in it, because it is locked because it is considered that the female dependents are not allowed to go out casually."

Zhang Xiaochi replied naturally.

"Lord Zhang, can Xiao Wang go to the backyard to have a look?"

"Yes."

After speaking, Zhang Xiaochi took out the key and handed it to Guo Yan, who didn't need to be instructed, and strode over to unlock the lock.

"Little prince, please move inside."

Entering the backyard, Zhang Xiaochi hurriedly shouted loudly.

"Xiaoxi, uncle and little prince are here, come out quickly."

When the words fell, there was movement in the room, and after a while, with a squeak, Lin Xiaoxi appeared in everyone's sight accompanied by Zhao Ling'er.

"Little prince, this is the person in the lower house."

"The concubine has seen the little prince and the uncle."

Lin Xiaoxi bowed and saluted very respectfully.

The moment he saw Lin Xiaoxi, the little prince's eyes lit up, but when he saw Zhao Ling'er after the disguise, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and it seemed that even his mood was a little affected.

"Little prince, this is a distant cousin of the Xia Neiren, because of the great changes in the family, she is the only one left, so she came to join us."

Zhang Xiaochi pretended not to find that the little prince was very responsive to Zhao Ling'er, and introduced it naturally on the side.
