Chapter 168: Don't, Don't
Until Xiao Feng got off at the gate of Xiao Mansion, Yan Niang was still shocked by Xiao Feng's last words.
"Chen San is the concierge, which is the chess piece that Gonggong Chen has laid out a long time ago, but not against me, but at all the people who come to visit him. With Chen San's personality and character, he is bound to cause trouble. If he provokes someone who is not worth mentioning, Gonggong Chen will support Chen San. This can not only allow Chen San to stop those he doesn't want to see, but also make Chen San more arrogant and unstoppable. When Chen San provokes the person who Chen Gonggong really wants to look at him seriously, Chen Gonggong will sacrifice Chen San, either to get closer to each other, or to show his attitude. Yan Niang remembered that she muttered at the time: "But that's his relative, Gonggong Chen, isn't this too yin...... Ah no, that's too ruthless? "For the benefactor who has just freed herself from slavery, no matter what the reason and purpose, Yan Niang is unwilling to speak ill of her.
Xiao Feng drank the tea she poured before getting out of the car and smiled at her.
"The tea is good, so I'll prepare this kind of tea in the car in the future." Father-in-law Chen is a ruthless person, but he is not bad, you have to think about what kind of person Chen San is. Liu Tong was angrily questioning the housekeeper, and the family members next to him had not dispersed because they had just finished eating, and they all gathered in a circle, listening with concern.
"What do you say? Do you really see it clearly? Don't talk nonsense, huh? The housekeeper wiped his sweat and looked at the circle of people staring at him, feeling very stressed.
The villain saw through the crack in the door, although it was dark, but there was a lantern hanging on the car to light the way. The villain did see the pattern of swallows drawing mud on the curtain of the car, which was the pattern of the car of Chunyan Tower. Liu Tong was extremely annoyed, and if he had been in the past, he might still be happy.
But this New Year, Xiao Feng just came to the house to visit, and he also opened the middle door to greet him, actually pinching his nose and acquiescing to the relationship between the two families.
But this little bastard is too indecent, even if you go to Chunyan Tower to play, although it is also a bastard, it is not a substantial problem.
But you also let Chunyanlou's car take you home, so swaggering through the market, it's almost like hugging a girl and telling the world - I am Liu Tong's son-in-law, but I still want to visit Qinglou!
Mrs. comforted Liu Xue'er on the side: "Xue'er, Xiao Feng is half the boss of Chunyan Building!" He went to Chunyan Tower, maybe it was a business matter, it was late, Chunyan Lou sent a car to take him home, it was also very reasonable, right? Liu Xue'er pouted a little aggrieved, nodded, and agreed with what her mother said, it is very reasonable logic for maintenance workers to bring wrenches.
"The villain saw through the crack in the door that when Xiao Feng got out of the car, a woman's head poked out of the car and sent her off politely." Liu Tong's face sank like water, and he looked at his wife with slanted eyes.
Madame was stunned for a moment, then continued to explain.
"Xue'er, I heard that Zhang Tianci has a good relationship in Chunyan Tower. Thinking that he was in the same car as Xiao Feng, that woman must be Zhang Tianci's good friend! Liu Xue'er's small mouth pursed even higher, feeling that her mother's explanation this time was a bit far-fetched, and it didn't seem logical for the maintenance worker to bring a hammer.
The villain saw through the crack in the door that under the light of the lantern, the woman was wearing a double phoenix golden hairpin on her head. If memory serves, this pair of phoenix hairpins is Chunyanlou's mother, Yan Niang's signature jewelry! Thinking of the unique taste of Xiao Feng that has been circulated, Madame feels that some donkey skills are exhausted.
Liu Xue'er's mouth didn't pout anymore, her small mouth opened and tears fell. Seeing that her daughter was sad, Liu Tong couldn't help but scolding angrily: "Nonsense, how good can your eyes be?" It's still from the crack in the door, the black light is blinding! You can see so clearly just by the light of a lantern? Can you see the double phoenix and the single phoenix clearly? Pure nonsense! "Where can the loyal butler stand such suspicion, he is eager to prove to the master that his eyes are absolutely fine, don't feel old, what if you want to change the housekeeper?
"Master, you can't be wrong, that time the villain went to Chunyan Building to settle the bill for you, and it was my mother who personally received me from Chunyan Building. I stood next to her when I settled the account, and her pair of phoenix and golden hairpins were said to be only one in the entire capital, how could I be wrong? There was silence in the hall, Liu Peng felt that the things that everyone was concerned about were a little boring, and he was napping, and suddenly felt the temperature in the room drop.
He looked up for some reason, looking around.
"Sir? What kind of account did the housekeeper settle when he went to Chunyan Tower? Madame's eyelids drooped downward, and she looked plain, but the sound of her fingers flexing and stretching came from under her long sleeves.
"Huh? No, how can there be? Yes...... Ah, yes, yes, there was one time. Oh, after I got off duty, a few colleagues had to congratulate me on my promotion to Langzhong, and coaxed me to have a treat, but didn't you just go once......" Liu Peng rubbed his eyes and recalled in a daze.
"No, Dad, you didn't come back until midnight that time, didn't you say that because you were promoted, you had a lot of work and worked until midnight? I also bought green oranges for me to eat? It's so sour, it's sour, the kind of ...... without skin" Liu Tong's face turned white, and he quietly gestured to the housekeeper.
"Xiao Feng is too disagreeable, fortunately, it's getting late now, otherwise everyone on the street will see it, wouldn't they laugh at our Liu Mansion? This and this, housekeeper, you will go to the Xiao family with me, I will ask the teacher in person, did he still take Xue'er in his eyes? Without waiting for the lady to speak, he ran away, and the butler blinked and ran out after him.
Liu Tong sprinted 200 meters and ran to the gate of Xiao Mansion, but he hesitated. It is said that with his future father-in-law's identity, it is reasonable to ask and reprimand from above.
The problem is that this does seem to be a bit of a fuss. In these years, with Xiao Feng's multiple identities, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is a bit strange not to go to Chunyan Tower often.
And the source of the information this time is not easy to say. Said that my housekeeper Liu Mansion was lying in the crack of the door and peeping at the gate of your Xiao Mansion?
It's too embarrassing to say, isn't it? And Yan Niang must not be mentioned in the questioning, otherwise Xiao Feng asked, how did you know Yan Niang, isn't that a self-confession?
was hesitating, someone behind him patted Liu Tong on the shoulder, so frightened that he almost jumped up. Qi Jiguang, who was dressed in an official uniform, looked at Liu Tong with a smile, and spoke quite respectfully.
"Oh, it's rude, I didn't see it clearly. I saw the two of them wandering around the gate of Xiaofu from a long distance, and they didn't knock on the door, I was afraid that something would happen, so I came over against the wall. Unexpectedly, it was Lord Liu and the housekeeper, but it scared Lord Liu and forgave his sins. I don't know what Lord Liu has to do, is he here to find his son-in-law? "Qi Jiguang is a hereditary fourth-rank military attaché, one level higher than Liu Tong's Hubu Lang Zhongzheng Wupin, but the Ming Dynasty is high in literature and low in martial arts, and the two are equal.
Qi Jiguang's politeness is mainly based on Xiao Feng's face, after all, this is Xiao Feng's future father-in-law.
However, Qi Jiguang's politeness was a little ridiculous because of Xiao Feng, because the whole capital knew the story of the grievances between Liu Tong and Xiao Feng.
Liu Tong knew that this kid had a close relationship with Xiao Feng, so he snorted.
"Yes, the old man has something to do with him. The reason why I didn't knock on the door just now was because, well, it was because the old man had lost something, so he turned around and looked for it. Now that you've found it, it's knocking! The housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward and knocked on the door, the small door opened, and Qi An came out to take a look, and immediately panicked.
On that day, Xiao Feng went to give gifts, and Liu Tong opened the door to greet him, and Qi An knew him.
"Lord Liu, why are you here? Wait a minute, I'll go to meet Master Xiao. Young master, come in first. "In fact, according to the rules, Qi Jiguang's father has passed away, and Qi An should call him master, just like Qiao Niang is called Xiao Feng.
But Qi An is more than 30 years older than Qi Jiguang, and he is serious about watching Qi Jiguang grow up, this habit is really not easy to change.
Qi Jiguang walked into the small door with a smile, turned back to Liu Tong and said, "That's right, you are here, you can't go in through the small door like me." Coming to the door as you, Xiao Feng must open the middle door to greet you. As soon as these words came out, Liu Tong suddenly became anxious, in fact, most of the reason why he ran over was to avoid the sanctions of his wife, and it was a matter of passing to question Xiao Feng.
Although Xiao Feng is at fault in this matter, the ugliness of the family must not be publicized, if Xiao Feng really opens the door to welcome him, and everyone knows about it, it will be bad.
Xiao Feng's reputation in this regard is not good, and there is no collapse of personality. But Liu Fu also lost face with Xiao Feng, and the key is that his wife knew that he made a big deal and embarrassed his daughter, and nine out of ten would be punished for both crimes, and the consequences would be worrying.
It is an ironclad fact that both the lady and the daughter are biased towards Xiao Feng. Don't go to the end, Xiao Feng is merry and happy, but it is his father-in-law who really suffers, so it's not worth it.
So Liu Tong hurriedly held his stomach and squeezed in after Qi Jiguang, talking while squeezing.
"It's all a family, why bother with these false courtesies, I'll just go in like this!" Hearing that Liu Tong came to the door, Xiao Feng was a little surprised, and he didn't dare to be rude, so he hurriedly invited him to his middle hall to talk.
Qiao Niang and Qiao Qiao worked very hard, ordered good tea, and waited for Liu Tong like a marquee, for fear that Liu Tong would make a mistake with his master.
This very courteous attitude not only made Liu Tong very satisfied, but even the housekeeper was a little embarrassed.
Everyone is like this, sir, you have to know in your heart, don't hurt people. Liu Tong also felt a little embarrassed, but he couldn't be so late, he ran to someone's house, and only said that he was here for a walk, right?
This is at home, there is no family ugliness, it is he who walks in the Qinglou, what am I embarrassed about?
After drinking two cups of tea, Liu Tong also did a good job of psychological construction, and stroked his beard and spoke slowly.
"Virtuous nephew, I took a walk after dinner today, passed by the door, and saw that you came back in the car of Chunyan Tower?" Xiao Feng understood the reason why Liu Tong came to the door, and couldn't help laughing.
His mind was spent on fighting wits and courage with Gonggong Chen, and he really didn't think too much about these little things.
Although by the moral standards of this time, this is not a matter at all. But Xiao Feng came from the later generations, and compared his heart to his heart, other people's daughters were going to marry him, and it was normal to find that he went to visit the Qinglou and came to ask.
Therefore, Xiao Feng did not lie and replied very respectfully.
The uncle asked, but the little nephew didn't dare to hide it. It's just that this matter involves the court, and it may not be a good thing for the uncle to know, and the little nephew thinks about the uncle, so it's better not to know. If the uncle must know, the little nephew will inform the uncle in a steady stream. I only ask my uncle to keep it secret, otherwise our Liu and Xiao families will be raided and destroyed. Liu Tong jumped up in fright, and even splashed the tea in his hand on his face.
"Don't don't, I don't want to know!"
