Yun Xian was about to speak again, but Uncle Sun had already led Chen Xing, Chen's father, and Chen's mother into the dining room, and Uncle Sun bowed to everyone and stepped aside.

Chen's father and Chen's mother looked at everyone cautiously and timidly, Chen Xing kept his head down, staring at the ground, and Chen's father and Chen's mother each carried a food box in their hands.

He hurriedly stood up and took two steps forward and said, "Uncle Chen, Aunt Chen, you came really early, have you had breakfast?" If not, why don't we sit down and eat together? ”

Mother Chen hurriedly said nervously: "We have breakfast, from the girl, I'm really sorry, we are afraid that we will be late, you are not there, I can't find you, so I will come early." I didn't expect to disturb your meal, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. ”

Congxi smiled and said: "Aunt Chen, look at what you said, it's just a breakfast, we have never had a morning or evening, so don't bother if you don't bother." He glanced at the food box in Chen's mother's hand and said, "You and Uncle Chen have had breakfast, Chen Xing hasn't eaten yet, is this the breakfast he brought him?" ”

Mother Chen hurriedly said: "No, no, this is for you, from the girl's willingness to believe in Xing'er's innocence, and also to help Xing'er find a master and teach Xing'er the craft, we are very grateful." But the family is small, and there is nothing to take to thank the girl, I have learned a lot of street food from people before, so I will make a few more. In addition to yesterday's fried corners, I made some other snacks, fried buns, fried dough, pot cakes, mille-feuille cakes, and coke rings, do you like to eat them? If I can still enter the entrance, I will bring more next time. ”

Mother Chen hesitated and handed the food box to Congxi.

Cong Xi quickly took the food box and said: "Thank you, Aunt Chen, they all said that yesterday's fried corners were delicious, Aunt Chen's craftsmanship is exquisite, these must also be delicious, just add a few snacks to our breakfast, I'm welcome." ”

Mother Chen saw Congxi accept the food box, and immediately smiled, even happy, and seemed to be relieved.

Cong Ran also stood up, approached Father Chen, took the food box in Father Chen's hand, and said humbly: "Thank you, Uncle Chen." ”

Father Chen was shy and reserved, and he couldn't say anything polite for a while.

Mother Chen glanced at Chen Xing, who had been burying her head down, looked at Congxi and hesitated: "Cong girl, that. We won't disturb your meal, so we'll go back first. Well.. Chen Xing really hasn't eaten breakfast yet. Don't mind, let him eat something at your place. ”

Congxi nodded and said: "It's okay, Uncle Chen, Aunt Chen, you are busy with your own business, don't worry, I will let Brother Chen eat enough, learn the craft well, and let him go home safely at night." ”

Mother Chen hurriedly said: "Thank you, thank you from the girl, trouble from the girl." ”

Chen's father and Chen's mother glanced at Chen Xing again, their faces were worried, and they hesitated for a moment before turning to leave, and Uncle Sun hurriedly walked in front to lead the way.

After Chen's father and Chen's mother left, they looked at Chen Xing: "Brother Chen, you were drunk yesterday, we didn't see each other, I should say it seriously today, Brother Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time, can we sit down and have a meal?" ”

Chen Xing still buried his head and did not move.

Congxi didn't care, and persuaded again: "Master Chen, you look at the distance between you and the dinner table, I just want to use eight sedan chairs to invite you, I can't put a sedan chair in the middle, others are waiting for you, can you lift your feet and walk a few steps, let everyone fill your stomach first?" ”

Chen Xing hesitated for a moment, raised his head slightly and glanced at the dining table, and found that Qu Zaichen, Yun Xian, Luo Yi, and Lan Chu were all leisurely cooking, only Congran stared at himself, Chen Xing looked at Congxi, and hesitated again: "You believe me?" ”

Congxi: "What? ”

Chen Xing: "You believe that I didn't steal the silver of Shopkeeper Liu." ”

Congxi: "Master Chen, you have really drunk too much wine recently, and you have fainted your head. Aunt Chen knows, if I don't believe you, how can I help you find a master to learn art, and I can be so kind to invite you to my house for dinner? ”

Chen Xing was stunned for a moment and said, "For. Why do you believe me? ”

Congxi said: "Why can't I believe you, has Brother Chen done anything that is not trustworthy?" ”

Chen Xing hurriedly said: "I don't." ”

Congxi smiled: "No, why can't I believe you?" ”

Chen Xing looked at Cong Xi and was stunned, hesitated for a moment, cramped, slowly moved to the dining table, and carefully sat down on the vacant seat next to Cong Ran. The maid Han'er carried a bowl of porridge and put it on the table in front of Chen Xing, and Chen Xing hurriedly bowed slightly to thank him.

Cong Xi also sat down again, drank a few sips of porridge, glanced at Chen Xing, Chen Xing lowered his head, stiffened his body, and drank porridge slowly.

Congxi sighed: "Brother Chen, look up, I will introduce you to the people who are destined to have a meal at the same table, and you will have to get along for a while in the future, you have been keeping your head down like this, only showing your head to everyone, and it is too bad to give everyone face." ”

Chen Xing blushed in embarrassment and looked up at Congxi slightly.

Congxi said: "Brother Chen, we are at this table, we deserve to see half of your face, you are really a small person?" ”

Chen Xing was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said, "No. No. I.."

Chen Xing's face turned embarrassed as he spoke, and he lowered his head again.

Congxi sighed: "Brother Chen, you want me to be embarrassed more and more, but you were invited into Qufu by me?" ”

Chen Xing lowered his head and hesitated for a while, slowly raised his head, this time his head was raised upright, and his eyes looked straight at Congxi.

Congxi couldn't help but smile: "Is this right, Brother Chen, you remember, you are always like this, I can have face." Otherwise, others will invite me to enter Qufu with a weak heart. ”

Yun Xian quipped: "Brother Chen, don't listen to Xi to scare you, with her, you can't be a thief in Qufu, you can just be a thief." ”

Congxi: "Yun Gongzi, be careful when you speak, you are slandering people, but you are going to be tortured, what did I steal from the Qu family?" ”

Yun Xian: "People, people's hearts, people's souls. ”

Looking at Yun Xian from Xi: "Yours?" Yun Gongzi is up and down, and he is alive, not like the walking corpse whose mind and soul have been sucked out by me. ”

Yun Xian laughed and said, "You want my spiritual spirit? ”

Everyone couldn't help but look at Congxi, Qu Zaichen stopped chopsticks slightly, pretending to have no intention of glancing at Congxi.

Congxi blurted out: "I don't want to, I already have a good pair, and taking one more pair can only take up space for nothing." Moreover, there are many soulless people in the world, too many of them are only an empty shell controlled by dust thoughts, and the zombie wooden puppet show everywhere is very monotonous and boring. Could it be that Yun Gongzi has a sharp mouth, and his hands and feet are still flexible, and at a glance, his eyes are not full of withering. Therefore, Yun Gongzi's soul should be kept by himself, you are at ease, and I will enjoy it, which is a good thing for us. ”

When Yun Xian heard it, he was very happy, and said with a smile: "It's still interesting, okay, there are too many people singing puppet shows, and my son won't join in the fun, I keep my soul and add a lot of fun to Congxi." ”

Congxi looked at Chen Xing and said, "Solemnly introduce, Yun Xian, I found the craftsman for you." ”

Chen Xing looked at Yun Xian and said sincerely, "Thank you. Gongzi Xie Yun is willing to accept me in vain, bothering Gongzi Yun, I. I.."

Chen Xing wanted to express his gratitude, but he didn't seem to know how to express it.

Yun Xian answered casually: "Don't bother, anyway, you will follow me to make lanterns, teaching one person is teaching, teaching two is also teaching, there is not much difference." As long as Brother Chen doesn't dislike and look down on me, my son promises to teach me. ”

Chen Xing was stunned for a moment, and said with some sincere fear: "Yun. Yun Gongzi said with a smile, Yun Gongzi is not tired of me, he is willing to stoop down to teach me the craft, Chen Xing is too late to be grateful, how dare I dislike and look down on you? ”

Looking at Chen Xing, he pondered: "Brother Chen, this compliment is good, it seems that Brother Chen doesn't know how to make friends with people, but he is sick in his heart and is lazy to make friends with people." ”

When Chen Xing heard this, his face turned slightly red, and he nodded slightly.

Congxi said again: "Brother Chen, you are so respectful to Yun Xian, not only because he will be a teacher, you should know his identity, right?" ”

Chen Xing hesitated for a moment and nodded calmly: "Well, yesterday you asked me to come to Qu's house today to find you." Father and mother don't know which family you are talking about, I'm afraid. I'm afraid that I will be wronged when I come. So they asked around about Qufu, and when they came back last night, they told me what they knew. I. We also only heard that Yun Gongzi seems to be the prince of the Hou Mansion, the younger brother of the queen's mother, I. I'm actually a little skeptical.,If Yun Gongzi is really such a prominent identity, why.why.."

Congxi continued: "You don't have to doubt it, Yun Xian is the prince of Dingping." Brother Chen wanted to say that if Yun Xian was really the prince of the Hou Mansion, why didn't he keep the capital to enjoy the glory and wealth, and only be a small vendor selling lanterns in Jinzhou? Brother Chen thinks why Yun Xian behaves like this? ”

Chen Xing glanced at Yun Xian, thought for a while, and shook his head: "I. . . Can't guess. ”

Congxi looked at Chen Xing and replied seriously: "Without him, Yun Xian has no merit in his heart, no superiority, he is only willing to make a living in a down-to-earth manner, and he only hopes to live and work in peace and contentment." In Yunxian, being an official in the capital and selling lanterns are just a business plan, and he prefers the simple and casual production of lanterns compared to officialdom games, nothing more. ”

Chen Xing glanced at Yun Xian and was very surprised.

Yun Xian drank the porridge calmly, not very moved, only nodded slightly and agreed: "Those who know me will follow the truth." ”

Congxi looked at Chen Xingdao again: "Just now Yun Xian said that you would dislike and look down on him, he was not joking, he was serious." And, I think you'll look down on you. ”

Chen Xing was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly explained: "I. . . I don't, with my identity, how dare I look down on Yun Gongzi. What's more, Yun Gongzi is willing to stoop down to teach me the craft. ”

Congxi: "Why don't you dare, haven't you always been ashamed of your past circumstances?" Yun Xian's situation doesn't have to be good. You are a joke in the mouths of the people of Jinzhou, and Yun Xian is the laughing stock of the people of the capital and even the whole world. The people of Jinzhou jokingly call you a 'prodigy show', and the people of the capital jokingly say that they are idle 'the capital is a noble madman', and his name of 'the capital is much louder than your name'. Many people are respectful to him on the surface because of Yun Xian's identity, but they are secretly laughing at Yun Xian's madness in their hearts.

Moreover, everything you do has the care and support of your parents and sister. Yun Xian had an argument with his parents and sneaked out of the house in the middle of the night. Now you and Yun Xian are in Jinzhou together, entering the same industry, and your fame is the same. According to common sense, Yun Xian's situation is more unbearable than you, since you feel that you are ashamed, shouldn't you look down on Yun Xian even more? We think that you will dislike looking down at the clouds in your heart, so why is it wrong? ”
