Chapter 63: Nagging
Early in the morning, Xu Changting finally felt the warmth of going home, and the second sister Xu Wenrou, unsurprisingly, appeared in Xu Changting's room when Xu Changting was sleeping in Zhengxiang.
The furnishings in the room have not changed at all, and they are still bedding in various bright colors and feminine style, which shows how happy it is to have two sisters.
As Xu Wen's familiar lie on Xu Changting's body through the quilt, pulling Xu Changting's long eyelashes with one hand that makes women jealous, Xu Changting closed his eyes and muttered, "Second sister, you seem to be fat...... Ouch....... ”
"The little white-eyed wolf really can't speak! The second sister who lost came to see you so early. Xu Wenrou grabbed Xu Changting's ear with his backhand and said dissatisfied.
Wu Jiangnan has become Xu Changting's maid, and after cleaning up yesterday, the study in Xu Changting's room was naturally temporarily transformed into Wu Jiangnan's room.
got up lazily under Xu's gentle poisonous hands and torture, and then Wu Jiangnan waited to wash.
And the eldest sister Xu Changhong has long been busy in the kitchen, and the two sisters are seamless, calling them to get up and wash up here, and they will start preparing meals over there.
Xu Gongzi has lived a beautiful life under the gentle care of Xu Changhong and Xu over the years, and he has lived a beautiful life with clothes that tens of millions of people can't ask for.
wiped his mouth again with the brocade handed over by Xu Changhong, his father Xu Zhongli had already gone to the Ministry of Rites, so naturally he didn't need Xu Changting to say hello.
In the morning, he was either playing with Xu Wenrou, or Xu Changhong was fighting from it, or when the eldest sister and second sister were busy, they were lying on the chair next to Chu Ying.
Most of the time, Chu Ying was nagging, thinking about this for a while, and thinking about that for a while, while chattering, the topic would naturally shift to Xu Changhong's marriage.
What now it seems that the noble concubine in the palace has already asked, two days ago, on the way home from your father, he just came out of the Ministry of Rites, and he happened to see Xuanwang Yuanke.
When you come back, listen to your father, King Xuan looks like a talent, suave, and a very good person to get along with.
Xu Changting nestled in the chair, closed his eyes and listened to his mother's nagging in his ear, responding from time to time with a hum and oh sound, lest his mother scare him with the embroidery needle in her hand in a moment.
"By the way, haven't you and your eldest sister and second sister met King Xuan? Just a few days ago at Lake Tenno. The corners of Chu Ying's slightly wrinkled eyes were still full of love that could not be concealed for Xu Changting.
"I've seen it, that's it, how can there be a person like my father said, suave and suave, but the whole person is relatively handsome, but compared to your son, it's almost there. Actually, I think it's pretty good, but I just don't know if the eldest sister is willing to do it. Xu Changting said.
"Is your eldest sister willing, mother and your father...... In the end, it doesn't depend on the attitude of your little thing? Chu Ying glanced at her son dotingly, and continued to nag: "Your eldest sister is not young, she is double ten, if it is past this year, there will be one in twenty, you should also grow a little longer." Don't you want your eldest sister and second sister to be able to marry a good family in the future? ”
"Of course I hope, I told my eldest sister that day when I went to Banlong Village, and I promised my eldest sister that I would prepare a rich dowry for her when the time came, and I must not let the royal family underestimate the eldest sister, let alone be angry with the eldest sister after marrying." Xu Changting opened his eyes, sat up straight and said.
Chu Ying lowered her head and was busy with the needlework in her hands, and when she heard Xu Changting say this, a trace of relief and warmth instantly passed through her heart.
"Your eldest sister's dowry, your father and mother have already saved it for her, as well as your second sister's, you don't have to worry about these things. You, it's more important to let the girl in Tsing Yi come to Danfeng City one day, and let the mother see her daughter-in-law. Chu Ying said with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
originally thought that the two daughters were so old, even if they could marry a family, I was afraid that it would not be much better, but now Xu Changhong was actually liked by King Xuan, so for her, it was finally a heavy heart disease.
"The dowry of my mother and father is the dowry of my mother and father, and I also want to prepare a rich dowry for the eldest sister and the second sister, anyway, I can't lose the eldest sister and the second sister." Xu Changting said stubbornly.
"It's enough for you to have that heart, your eldest sister and your second sister, can you really ask you to prepare a dowry for them? Besides, this is something that your mother and your father have to worry about, so you don't have to worry about it. Chu Ying said while busy with the work in his hand.
Chu Ying almost didn't ask about Xu Changting's trip to Banlong Village, not because she was very relieved about her son, but because she believed that her husband and son were well-taught.
What's more, over the years, as Xu Changting's sanity and body have gradually become like ordinary people, I have never heard of him doing anything to bully others.
And Xu Changhong's maid He Ye'er, including Liang Cai'er, the daughter of the housekeeper Uncle Liang, and even the maid Wu Jiangnan in front of him now, seem to have a good impression of his son.
So this also made Chu Ying very relieved that her son, no matter what she was doing outside, she believed that Xu Changting would never do anything hurtful.
I don't know when, Huo Nuer came to the door, and at this time, Xu Changting returned to the posture of lying down just now.
When Chu Ying looked up inadvertently, she saw Huo Nuer standing at the door.
"Evil, what's wrong?" Chu Ying asked with a smile, although he had not been in his own house for a long time, Chu Ying still sincerely regarded evil as his own junior.
Especially when she heard that when they swam to Tianwang Lake that day, the evil came to their two daughters for the first time, and took the eldest sister and second sister naturally, Chu Ying's heart felt satisfied and relaxed for no reason.
Xu Changting, who was nesting in the chair, opened his eyes, and after Huo Nuer shouted Aunt Chu, he said to Xu Changting: "Someone is looking for you." ”
"Oh." Xu Changting got up, immediately said hello to Chu Ying, and walked to the front yard.
The embroidery needle in Chu Ying's hand swiped a few times between her black hair, and she pondered: Strange, Weiyang's reaction...... When you hear someone looking for someone, shouldn't you always ask who it is first?
Then she shook her head again, anyway, she was very relieved of her son, and she no longer thought deeply about whether this was contrary to common sense.
Xu Changting and Huo Nuer came to the front yard, and then asked, "Who is it?" Or is there anything that matters? ”
"You're being looked for, and it's important." Huo Nuer said expressionlessly.
Xu Changting, who had long been accustomed to Huo Nuer's appearance, frowned slightly: "What's the matter?" ”
"Since this morning, some sneaky people have begun to appear around our house, as if they are spying on our house." Huo Nuer said expressionlessly.
Honul's sharpened and angular face always gives people a wild nature, and the long thick and stiff hair is only tied behind his head, which makes the smell of his body that seems to be incomplete evolution even stronger.
If a stranger encounters him, he will always treat Huo Nuer as a savage for the first time, and even if he is familiar, he will have an inexplicable sense of pressure because of Huo Nuer's appearance.
"Who's looking for me?" Xu Changting continued to ask.
"He seems to be a eunuch." Huo Nuer suddenly stood still, looked at Xu Changting, who also stopped, and said.
"Eunuch? Do you still have acquaintances in the palace? Xu Changting asked rhetorically.
Huo Nuer didn't think it was a joke, and said coolly: "The person who has been to Banlong Village is the person named Wang Xianghe, who seems to be a eunuch." ”
"Really?" Xu Changting was taken aback.
"I don't know if it's true or not, but I feel like it, although I haven't seen the chief eunuch or anything, but ...... It always feels weird to face him. Huo Nuer's expressionless face finally had a slight expression at this moment, and said: "I feel that the smell on his body is strange, not like a normal person, isn't that a eunuch?" ”
Xu Changting knows very well that Huo Nuer not only sees differently from ordinary people, but also sees from afar, and his sense of smell is also different from ordinary people.
When on the grassland, by sniffing animal feces or other things, Honuer can find some wild horse herds, or find wolf dens, etc.
So if he said that the smell on Wang Xianghe's body was different from ordinary people, Xu Changting would believe it.
"Could it be that he is really a eunuch? But if he is a eunuch, who will the middle-aged uncle be? Emperor? Impossible, the emperor will be fine and run out of the city twice in three days? But not necessarily. Can...... How is this possible, completely impossible. Will there be eunuchs around the prince and the county king? Xu Changting shook his head slightly and thought.
Huo Nuer was beside her, and said irresponsibly: "I don't know." ”
"I didn't ask you." Xu Changting said angrily, and then thought for a while: "Then you check first, who are those people who are spying on us, and also, let the guy come back with the coachman, and see if their enemies in Danfeng City have come to the door recently." ”
"yes, I see. Then I'll go now, or ...... Waiting for your ....... Hornuer pointed to the gate of the mansion not far away.
Xu Changting took a deep breath and shook his head: "Go now, this Wang Xianghe is the person in front of the middle-aged uncle, if he has malicious intentions, he will not wait until now." Although we didn't understand how they just came back yesterday, they knew that we were back for the first time, and they were able to find our home accurately. But there will be no malice in thinking about it, so go now. ”
Huo Nuer and Xu Changting walked to the gate together, Huo Nuer went directly to the street and walked outside, while Xu Changting stood on the high steps, looking at Wang Xianghe with a smile on his face.
And at the same time that Xu Changting saw Wang Xianghe, in front of the mansion of Lu Rui, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Lu Xidao, who had also just walked out of the door, saw two young men of the same age standing opposite the door from a distance, looking at him with a smile at the moment.
"Dare to ask, but Brother Lu Xidao? In the lower highlight, this brother is Lu Fengyuan. Gao Liang said with a smile that he thought was free and easy.
"It turned out to be Brother Gao and Brother Lu, who have been looking up for a long time." Lu Xidao was stunned, and then approached politely with a smile on his face.
Whether it is Lu Fengyuan or Gao Liang, he has heard the names of these two people, but he has never had any intersection.
"Brother Lu, are you planning to go out?" Gao Liang asked with a smile as he watched a carriage slowly drive over.
Lu Xidao turned his head and glanced at the carriage in his house, nodded and said, "A few friends, dare to ask Brother Gao, is there anything to find here?" ”
"I took the liberty to come to Brother Lu, I really have something to discuss......." Gao Liang looked at Lu Xidao and went directly to the topic: "For Brother Lu, this matter is not a trivial matter, if it is not done well, it may also endanger Ling Zun's career." ”
"High ...... What do you mean by this? Lu Xidao frowned slightly, slightly displeased.
"Brother Lu, do you know Xu Changting?" Lu Fengyuan asked.
Lu Xidao glanced at Lu Fengyuan, who spoke for the first time, and then nodded silently, and at the same time his father's words sounded in his mind, don't be embarrassed with Xu Changting in the recent period, if you can be good, it would be the best.
But even so, Lu Xidao didn't plan to lower his profile to find Xu Changting, so he never went to Banlong Village, let alone had no interest in finding out what Xu Changting was tinkering with in Banlong Village.
