Regardless of what kind of thoughts he had, Xu Yunhe's birthday party was finally organized in an orderly manner.

Early in the morning, hundreds of subordinates of the Xu family began to busily arrange. The lanterns in front of the door were hung high, cleaned inside and out, and in the spacious courtyard, square tables had already been neatly arranged. People inside and outside are busy, the guests have not yet arrived, and the food has not yet been served, but in the kitchen, there are already bursts of tempting aromas.

The interior and exterior are very festive, I don't know, I thought it was for which old birthday star and a half eighty birthday. It's just a little incompatible with this festive atmosphere, and under this festive arrangement, the spacious courtyard of the Xu family looks a little deserted.

Since early in the morning, the Xu family has been newly furnished. It's just that from morning to noon, only the servants and guests of the Xu family came and went, but none of them arrived. In the empty courtyard, there were only empty square tables, which were placed there alone. The aroma in the kitchen is getting stronger and stronger, but there are no guests coming to the door, and the food can not be served.

And since the morning, Xu Guofan has stood at the gate with the high-ranking people in the family, standing there respectfully. Although not a single guest had entered the gate until noon, they had never moved their footsteps, and were still waiting there.

"Will they really come?" Standing in the hall of the inner hall, looking at the somewhat deserted door, Xu Yunhe suddenly asked.

Most of the high-ranking members of the family were gathered at the gate, but Xu Yunhe was not among them. Standing with him was Xu Chengfang, who had a cold face. None of them stood in the same place as Xu Guofan, but in the same way, they have also stood here until now since the morning.

Xu Yunhe's voice was not loud, and the person who asked was naturally Xu Chengfang beside him. He turned his head sideways to look at Xu Yunhe, who was a little nervous, chuckled, and said, "Yunhe, you are nervous." ”

"Perhaps, I have lived for fifteen years and have never been out of Yuancheng. Suddenly, I heard that so many big people were coming, and I really didn't know the bottom in my heart!" Xu Yunhe smiled bitterly and stretched out his hand to rub his somewhat stiff cheeks. With this movement, I found that I had maintained this expression from morning to now, and the muscles on my cheeks were a little sore.

"There's nothing to be nervous about, what a big guy, but it's the same as you and me, one nose and two eyes, what's there to be afraid of?" Xu Chengfang stretched out his hand and patted Xu Yunhe's shoulder, and comforted him again, "Don't worry, it's okay." Although some of them have no one in their sights, this is always the Xu family, and they will not go too far. ”

"I understand, but it's ......" Xu Yunhe nodded and said with a wry smile, "But it's one thing to understand, this heart is completely uncontrollable, and if you jump up, you can't stop!"

"If you stop, won't you have braids?" Xu Chengfang said a witty remark, and then his face turned pale, and he said apologetically, "I'm sorry! Yunhe! Today is your birthday, and it should have been a festive day full of laughter." But as soon as these people come, your birthday will be unrecognizable!"

Xu Yunhe shook his head and said calmly: "It's nothing, it's just a birthday, but it doesn't matter." ”

After speaking, Xu Yunhe turned around, took two steps forward, and turned his eyes to the door: "What's more, my birthday has never been celebrated in the past ten years." If it hadn't been for the patriarch mentioning it, I wouldn't have remembered it. ”

Xu Yunhe said plainly, but Xu Chengfang listened to it, but he was a little sad. A three- or four-year-old child, living outside and struggling to survive. Xu Yunhe didn't mention the life of more than ten years, Xu Chengfang can also imagine how much bitterness and hardship there is.

"Every day in the future, how about I accompany you?" Xu Chengfang felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, stepped forward and stood with Xu Yunhe, turned his head sideways and said.

"Okay!" Xu Yunhe nodded, turned his head sideways, and the two of them looked at each other, looked at each other and smiled. Only a few simple sentences, and nothing else, besides, is already superfluous.

This is the righteousness between men and the tacit understanding between brothers, and it does not need too many words to express it. In the face of true feelings, any words are pale and powerless.

"It's coming. After standing for a long time, Xu Chengfang's face suddenly turned pale, his eyes looked at the gate like electricity, and he said in a deep voice.

Xu Yunhe then looked and looked out from the gate, except for Xu Guofan and his party, who were standing for a long time, there was no trace of anyone outside the gate. However, Xu Yunhe did not doubt Xu Chengfang's judgment, and that night, he had already seen Xu Chengfang's extraordinary strength.

Sure enough, Xu Chengfang did not make a mistake in judgment. A moment later, Xu Yunhe also heard footsteps outside.

The footsteps were hurried, and before people could see them, the sound of heavy footsteps had already been heard. The sound of "dong dong" footsteps does not resemble the movement of people when they move, but rather the scene of shaking the ground when thousands of horses gallop. However, Xu Yunhe can be sure that there is absolutely nothing wrong with horses.

"Hmph, this must be someone from the Shanyang Lu family!" Xu Chengfang suddenly sneered, and said with some disdain, "Isn't it just to demonstrate to us by deliberately making such a big move?"

"Oh, how do you know?" asked Xu Yunhe, a little strangely. He never thought that people could make such a big movement when walking, this kind of martial arts can be said to be the only one in his life.

"Except for their family, who would practice this kind of stupid and stupid red immortal feet?" Xu Chengfang snorted coldly and replied.

"Do you have a grudge against them?" Xu Yunhe heard that Xu Chengfang's tone was a little unusual, Xu Chengfang, who has always been wise, has always been a leisurely appearance with wisdom in his clothes, but it is rare to see him show his likes and dislikes so obviously.

"No hatred or resentment, it's just that I can't get used to their invincible appearance!" Xu Chengfang didn't seem to want to talk more, "I don't know who is from the Lu family who is coming back, don't talk too much when the time comes, just hand it over to me!"

Xu Yunhe nodded, he heard that there was another secret in it, but Xu Chengfang didn't want to mention it, and he didn't want to force it.

The shaking of the ground was getting stronger and stronger, and Xu Guofan and the others outside the gate were quite wolf, trying their best to keep the queue neat, but the strong vibration of the ground shook them to the ground. In the courtyard, the tables and chairs that had already been set up began to shake, and the dishes arranged on them also "clicked". It was like an earthquake.

"Hmph!" Xu Chengfang snorted coldly, and his whole body suddenly flew out of the gate. Xu Yunhe couldn't catch up, only to see Xu Chengfang landing lightly outside the gate, with a pair of feet on the ground.

In a flash, the tremors were as strong as an earthquake, and suddenly disappeared without a trace. Xu Yunhe finally regained his sense of solidity on the ground, if it weren't for the tables, chairs and benches in the yard that were all over the place, the key value would make people think that the ground vibration just now was an illusion.

"Xu Chengfang, I knew it was you! Why, didn't you sleep with your wife in your arms at home, and came here, are you impatient?" The tremor died down, and a rude voice rang out again. The rude voice was surprisingly loud, and when a word was shouted, the whole air buzzed.

From Xu Yunhe's point of view, he couldn't see the appearance of the person who came, but Xu Chengfang, who was standing outside the gate, could see it clearly. Seeing the person at a glance, he replied unceremoniously: "Lu Youcheng! Sure enough, it's you! Except for you, it is estimated that there is no one in the whole world who is as rude and rude as you, right?"

"What's wrong with being rude? Lao Tzu hates you little white faces the most, one by one fake and deadly, a belly of flowery intestines is hidden and tucked, so I don't hate it! Lao Tzu takes a look, and wants to step out of your stomach to see clearly!" In the face of Xu Chengfang's ridicule, the rude voice was not to be outdone, and replied in an even more rude voice.

Xu Yunhe walked out with curiosity, he never thought that among the six major families that had always attached importance to upbringing, there would be such rude people. And listening to the conversation between the two of them, it seems that this person's status is not low, at least not much lower than Xu Chengfang, which is somewhat interesting.

Xu Chengfang walked out, and the group of people also happened to come closer, and the first person walked in front especially conspicuously, staring straight at Xu Chengfang. So at a glance, he saw the owner of the rude voice just now, and his true face of Lushan.

Similar to Xu Yunhe's imagination, the appearance of the owner of this rude voice completely matched his voice. The figure of the five big and three thick is similar to that of the Zhang butcher at the entrance of the bazaar, but the beard with an arrogant face is much thicker than that of the Zhang butcher. If it weren't for the fact that he was gorgeously dressed and his nose and eyes were slightly different, Xu Yunhe would almost think that this was the Zhang butcher.

Xu Chengfang took two steps forward, and looked at the other party's eyes with extremely sharp eyes: "Lu Youcheng, I didn't expect your family to actually send you out!"

"Ha, your family can send you out with a little white face, and my old Lu hasn't been abducted by others, why can't he come out?" Lu Youcheng raised his right hand, stretched out a finger as thick as a carrot, and reached into his nostrils to pick up the boogers, looking very indecent, but he didn't notice it.

"Okay! You're good!" Xu Chengfang's voice trembled a little, and the anger on his face was unconcealed, "You are the first to arrive, go in first, wait for a few of them!"

"I know that those bastards will only steal and play tricks, where can they be worthy of Lao Lu's sincerity? Hmph, when a few of them arrive, see how Lao Lu cleans them up!" Lu Youcheng pulled out the finger inserted into his nostrils, flicked off the sticky boogers on his fingers with one finger, snorted in his nose, and turned around and walked inside.

Behind Xu Chengfang, Xu Guofan and others hurriedly stepped forward and hurriedly led Lu Youcheng and the others inside. It was at this time that Xu Yunhe suddenly discovered that the others were just that, that Lu Youcheng didn't wear shoes, and a pair of big bare feet were stepping on the ground so unobtrusively, while the others didn't seem to be surprised at all.

"It's really interesting, I didn't expect that there are such interesting people in the six major families......" Seeing Lu Youcheng swaggering in with his big bare feet, Xu Yunhe shook his head, but the corners of his mouth showed a hint of crying and laughing.

"Isn't it interesting? If you know the interesting things he does, I don't think you will find him interesting!" Behind Xu Yunhe, a voice suddenly answered.

"Huh?" Xu Yunhe was just talking to himself, but he didn't expect a person to appear behind him silently. Suddenly turned around and looked back, but it was Xu Guozong, who had been following Xu Chengfang, and he didn't know when he was already standing behind him.

"Childe wants to greet those people, I don't have time to deal with you for the time being, let me watch you, lest you recklessly cause trouble!" Xu Guozong seemed to see through Xu Yunhe's doubts and took the initiative to explain. It's just that his tone is stiff, and between every word, there is no kindness.

Fortunately, Xu Yunhe has long been accustomed to the other party's way of speaking, except for facing Xu Chengfang, he doesn't seem to have given anyone anyone a good look. Xu Yunhe didn't care, and asked respectfully: "Eighteenth uncle, you seem to be very familiar with this Lu Youcheng?"

The somewhat awkward title of "Eighteen Uncles" was later determined by Xu Chengfang for the two of them. Xu Yunhe, who has been away from the family for more than ten years, really can't understand the messy generations in the family, so he just called it that. He didn't know that when facing Xu Guozong, even Xu Guofan didn't dare to argue with the other party's peers, so he could only be honored as a family position.

"This Lu Youcheng is the eldest son of the Lu family in Shanyang, don't you look at him as a big old man, that's just the appearance, inside, but it's dark!" Xu Guozong's tone was still a little unkind, but he didn't avoid Xu Yunhe's question, and continued, "The Lu family in Shanyang is close to the sea, and a group of two-pole pirates in the East China Sea back then robbed the Lu family's ship blindly, and they just happened to crash into this Lu Youcheng's gun. Thousands of pirates on more than a dozen ships were all beheaded! It is said that at that time, the blood flowed like a river, and the fish in the East China Sea were all dyed red-eyed! And then the pirates in the East China Sea were wiped out in one fell swoop, this Lu Youcheng has a thick face and a black heart, you don't want to be confused by him!"

"Thank you! I remembered!" Xu Yunhe nodded, he believed what Xu Guozong said. Turning to look at Lu Youcheng, who was already sitting in the hall, and watching him drink tea with a pair of big feet, Xu Yunhe's eyes have changed a lot.

How could a person who came out of the six major families have no city government at all? His own experience is still too shallow, and it is better to be cautious in the face of such a person with a rough appearance in the future.

Secretly alert in his heart, Xu Yunhe suddenly thought of another question, hesitated for a while, Xu Yunhe finally asked, "Uncle Eighteen, can I ask you a question?"

"What's the problem? If you have something to say, I hate you guys who talk the most, and when you make it clear, you can kill you in a hurry!" Xu Guozong snorted coldly.

Knowing that the other party would have such an attitude, Xu Yunhe smiled bitterly, glanced at Xu Chengfang who was standing in the distance, deliberately lowered his voice, and said slowly: "I look at your son, it seems to be ...... It seems to be with that Lu Youcheng...... Some old grudges?"

"Boy, what do you know? Did the prince tell you?" Xu Guozong's face suddenly changed, and a pair of eyes that looked at Xu Yunhe flashed with essence.

Before Xu Yunhe could answer, he began to shake his head again: "No, no, no, Gongzi won't sue you, and no one in the Xu family will know about it......"

"What the hell is going on? Can't you sue me?" Xu Yunhe's curiosity in his heart intensified.

"Childe doesn't sue sù you have your own reasons for son, he doesn't sue sù sù, why should I tell you?" Xu Guozong turned around, but he didn't mean to reveal it at all.

Xu Yunhe's desire to explore the truth became even stronger, but arguing openly would not have any effect. His eyes rolled, and Xu Yunhe was shocked and had an idea.

"Is it very embarrassing? Alas, forget it, I'll go and ask your son-in-law, I think, he shouldn't hide it from me, right?" Xu Yunhe sighed and took a step forward, as if he was going to walk over and ask Xu Chengfang.

"Bastard, where are you going?" Xu Yunhe had just taken a step, and before he could lift one foot on his back, Xu Guozong behind him had already turned around like a whirlwind, grabbed Xu Yunhe's shoulder with one hand, and pressed him in place.

The body was restrained, but the corners of Xu Yunhe's mouth showed a faint smile of victory. He turned around, looked at Xu Guozong, who looked anxious, and asked blankly, "What is Uncle Eighteen doing?"

"Stinky boy, don't go to Gongzi to ask about this!" The look on Xu Guozong's face kept changing, hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said to Xu Yunhe, "Okay, okay! This is not a big deal, fortunately, I will sue you! Save you from asking around, how about angering Gongzi?"

Xu Yunhe was waiting for his words, and nodded quickly.

Xu Guozong sighed, his tone was no longer cold, and he slowly spoke: "This matter is a scar in Gongzi's heart, I sue you today, don't go out and talk nonsense to others, let alone mention it in front of Gongzi." Otherwise, I won't be able to spare you!"

Xu Yunhe nodded again, although he didn't know what was going on, but now he guessed that it shouldn't be a good thing.

"This is going to start with the original marriage of the son. Alas, if you really want to talk about it, this matter is not something that Childe can decide, it is a matter decided by the patriarchs of the two families, and Childe is at most a victim. But Childe is such a person, there was no fault with him, but he had to fight against himself. Why bother yourself so much!Alas!" Xu Yunhe was about to hear the complete inside story, but he didn't expect Xu Guozong to say half of it, so he didn't say it anymore, and sighed there alone, and sighed by himself.
