Remote house, off the beaten track.

The gate was beaten by the wind and rain, and it was mottled with tempering.

No one would have known that in such an ordinary and somewhat gloomy dilapidated mansion there would be two murderous men.

In front of the two men, there stood a man dressed in light green and elegant clothes, the man had a handsome face and was extraordinary.

"The grass people are strong, meet the emperor!"

Xi Dazhuang didn't expect the emperor to come over in person, and only brought two people, his eyes flashed, and he was just about to kneel down to salute, the noble man hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed him, and said with red eyes: "Ah Duo doesn't need to be polite, please get up quickly!" ”

Xi Dazhuang raised his eyes and glanced at the emotional man, and stood up with the strength of his support.

"Ah Duo, you and your aunt have suffered all these years, I wonder if my aunt is okay now? I couldn't do what I did at the beginning, and every time I thought about it, my heart hurt. ”

The man's eyes were red, and the corners of his mouth pulled out a relieved smile: "It's great that you can come back now." ”

Xi Dazhuang was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "My mother and my daughter-in-law live in the village peacefully, and they can get by, thank you for the emperor's concern." ”

"Okay, that's fine."

Emperor Xiao Suirong seemed to think of something, and sighed lightly: "After Shen Ruyu came back, I mentioned to me that your wife, virtuous and virtuous, with a good blue heart, and excellent cooking skills, I am very relieved that you can get this beauty." ”

When Xi Dazhuang heard the emperor mention his wife, his originally cold and hard face softened instantly, and he said lightly: "Emperor Lao has a memory." ”

Xiao Suirong looked at Xi Dazhuang silently, pursed his lips, and sighed after a while: "Ah Duo, you and I are separated." ”

Xi Dazhuang's eyebrows moved slightly, and he heard Xiao Suirong sigh faintly: "I still remember when I was young, you were very sticky, every time I saw me, I pestered me to get you something delicious, and then you went to the border pass, and every time you came back, you would bring the border customs food and wine to drink with me to the moon." Now that I haven't seen you for four years, you are much calmer, and you have separated a lot from me. ”

Xi Dazhuang knew that the emperor was playing the emotional card with him, and he naturally had to rely on the emperor when he came back.

Although their cousin relationship cannot be said to be unbreakable, they need each other, like grasshoppers on a rope, tightly linked.

He took a deep breath, shook his head and said: "The emperor is joking, you are now the emperor, you are the honor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and I am a grass people, how can you be as rude as before?" If there is any disrespect in the past, please ask the emperor to atone for his sins. ”

"Ador!"

Xiao Suirong's eyes flashed, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, he reached out and grabbed Xi Dazhuang's shoulder, and said in a solemn and serious tone: "In my heart, you have always been my good brother, and you have always been a proud and wanton young general, and this will never change!" Back then, I knew that my uncle-in-law was innocent, he was framed, I will help you, wash away your uncle's grievances, and return the innocence of the Zhongwu Marquis Mansion, are you willing to believe me? ”

Xi Dazhuang's eyes were sad, and he looked at Xiao Suirong deeply, and his sad eyes became full of trust and emotion because of Xiao Suirong's firmness and solemnity.

After all, he nodded, and said in a hoarse voice: "The grass people naturally believe in the emperor, the emperor is a bright gentleman, and the most important promise, the grass people believe in the emperor!" ”

Xiao Suirong looked at Xi Dazhuang with sad eyes, and only after a while did he smile self-deprecatingly: "But now, you don't want to call me cousin." I know that the events of the past have nothing to do with my father, and you should complain about me. But we two brothers, can't we really go back to the past? ”

Xi Dazhuang was stunned by the question, the corners of his mouth twitched, his eyes were full of grief, and he murmured: "Cousin, I'...... I don't know how to face you. The Zhongwu Marquis Mansion is gone, and my father, brother and sister clan were almost killed by the first emperor, I know that these are not what you want, and they have nothing to do with you, but I ...... But I ......."

"Okay, I know, you don't have to say more."

Xiao Suirong patted Xi Dazhuang's shoulder, lowered his eyes, and whispered, "I know you need time to think clearly, but I hope you can come out quickly and don't let me wait too long." ”

Xi Dazhuang nodded, raised his eyes to look at Xiao Suirong with a soft face, seemed to be a little moved, his mouth moved, and finally he didn't say anything.

Xiao Suirong is the emperor after all, and there is Empress Dowager Guo eyeing him in the palace, he left quickly and gave Xi Dazhuang a tip before leaving.

As soon as he left, Wu Heng approached Xi Dazhuang and asked curiously: "General, what is in the bag that the emperor gave you?" Take it out and take a look. ”

Xi Dazhuang glanced at him: "You are more anxious than me." ”

Wu Heng smiled and scratched the back of his head: "Isn't your subordinate curious?" Anyway, no matter what the emperor put in the general's bag, if there is a task, his subordinates will accompany the general to complete it. ”

Xi Dazhuang didn't avoid him, and opened the bag, but it only contained an ordinary stone.

The corners of Wu Heng's eyes twitched fiercely, and he couldn't say a word: "A stone, what does this mean?" ”

He looked at Xi Dazhuang suspiciously, and said in surprise: "Is this a secret word between you and the emperor?" ”

"It's not."

Xi Dazhuang shook his head, put the stone back into the bag, and said lightly: "Tomorrow, go to Wuyang Mountain with me." ”

"Wuyang Mountain?"

Wu Heng didn't know what to do in Wuyang Mountain, but he still nodded.

The Xi family's business is becoming more and more prosperous, and Chixi has also set up a restaurant in the county, called Food Garden.

The raw materials of all the food in the food garden are supplied from the Xi family, and the chefs are also taught by Chixi himself, and the meals made are delicious and the price is reasonable.

Queuing for food has become the norm, and some people even strongly urge the food court to expand or open a few more.

Not only that, Chixi also opened several inns, and followed Xi Dazhuang's advice to hang the inns under other people's names, which was not very conspicuous.

The purpose is not to make a lot of money, but because of the good environment, good service, and the food is directly supplied from the food court, the business is booming.

The beauty cream and lady cream prepared by Chixi and some skin care and whitening products are also slowly becoming popular in the county and state capitals.

People who have used it say that it is good, but they can't find a shop, so if they want to buy it, they can only ask someone to introduce it, go to the food court to book in advance, and they have to queue for at least half a month to get it.

The price is ridiculously expensive, and each jar costs thirty-five taels of silver, but because the effect is so good, the wives and ladies of those foreign officials gritted their teeth and wanted to buy some.

Even, this has become a kind of braunting capital, if anyone does not have a jar of beauty cream or lady cream in their hands, it seems to be left behind.

Chixi was preparing a beauty cream, Tian Cuihe hugged An An and came over, and said with concern: "You have been busy all day today, it's time to rest for a while." Silver is inexhaustible, and the body is the most important. ”

Chixi smiled and nodded: "Mother, I'll rest." ”

The silver can't be earned, but she doesn't know when she'll need it!
