Chapter 217: The Lord of the Kingdom Arrives in Person
The steward ran over, panting: "The lord of the country is here, the second lady is going to pick up the driver." ”
Xiao Luoyi was dumbfounded: "What did you say?" ”
"The lord of the country is here, and the second lady will go and pick it up." The steward who passed the message couldn't believe it, he was so frightened that his face turned white!
How could the lord of the country, who was far away in Dali City, suddenly come to western Yunnan?
It's coming, why did you still run to Zhuangzi?
"I heard that I was hunting nearby, and I chased a snow leopard over......"
Xiao Luoyi swallowed a mouthful of rice noodles in his mouth, didn't think about it, and was pulled out by Chen Huaijin.
A tall man in a mask was walking towards him, and his movements were imposing.
Chen Huaijin and Xiao Luoyi knelt down on the side of the road without saying a word: "See the lord of the country." ”
A pair of black boots embroidered with gold thread walked up to Chen Huaijin and Xiao Luoyi and stopped, and a man's voice like a subwoofer sounded.
"You are the second daughter of the Xiao family?"
"Is this your father-in-law?"
Xiao Luoyi's heart shook slightly, and he subconsciously felt that something was wrong.
Since I came to Dali, there are not many people who have taken the initiative to ask about their father-in-law at the first meeting.
But Xiao Luoyi didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly agreed: "Yes." ”
"Get up, I'm chasing the snow leopard, it's getting dark, I heard that this is the Zhuangzi of the Xiao family, so I came over to spend the night, I don't know if it's convenient?" The lord's voice was low and soft.
But Xiao Luoyi's brain is not in the water, people are polite, if we really have to think about "convenient or inconvenient", it is crazy.
"Naturally convenient! Hurry up and get the best rooms out! ”
Xiao Luoyi and Chen Huaijin got up, and Xiao Luoyi habitually asked the quintessence: "Have you eaten?" ”
The lord of the country laughed: "No." ”
"Let's have some food together, then?"
Xiao Luoyi realized that something was wrong after speaking, and hurriedly withdrew: "What, I'll ask the housekeeper to prepare for food again." ”
The lord waved his hand: "No need, just continue to eat just now, just ask the steward to add two more dishes." ”
Xiao Luoyi nodded hurriedly: "Okay, then please ...... here."
Sitting in the warm pavilion and looking at the original dishes, Xiao Luoyi felt embarrassed in hindsight.
The meal just now was relatively simple, and I had eaten it myself.
Tell the lord of Nanzhao to eat the leftovers he has eaten......
It's bolder than the sky!
Even if the head of the Xiao family came, he wouldn't dare to say such stupid things, right?
The lord's escort brought clean dishes and chopsticks, and the lord pointed to the four dishes and one soup on the table: "Eat first?" I am hungry. ”
"Huh? Oh! Ok, good, good! Xiao Luoyi agreed, glanced at Chen Huaijin, and the husband and wife picked up the dishes and chopsticks.
The lord of the kingdom wore a half-face mask to cover his face, and a short beard on his chin, but it did not prevent him from eating.
The three of them ate, the lord of the country ate the most fragrant and comfortable, Xiao Luoyi and Chen Huaijin ate very restrainedly: the main thing was that they were too dazed and unfamiliar, and they didn't know what was going on.
Fortunately, after a while, the steward came up with two stir-fried fast dishes and brought wine.
With wine, it's easy to do.
Chen Huaijin asked the lord of the country: "Lord, do you want to drink some wine?" ”
The lord of the country bowed: "Okay." ”
Chen Huaijin poured wine, and the monarch raised his glass: "It's dry." ”
Chen Huaijin followed to raise the cup: "Yes." ”
After drinking, Chen Huaijin poured the wine again, and the monarch raised the glass again: "It's done." ”
Chen Huaijin: "Yes......"
The two of them began to drink in silence.
Cup after cup......
Xiao Luoyi was dumbfounded.
Watching Chen Huaijin drink, his eyes gradually drifted away.
I watched as the lord's straight back collapsed loosely from time to time, and then straightened up again.
How did the two of them start to fight together?
Why Spell Wine?
Seeing that one jar of wine was drunk, and the lord of the country raised his hand to call the second altar, Xiao Luoyi had to stand up and stop it.
"What, lord, my family's father-in-law has a limited amount of alcohol, or ...... Do you want to drink it again at an unknown date? ”
The raised hand of the lord paused, glanced at Chen Huaijin, and then at Xiao Luoyi, and bowed his head: "Okay." ”
Xiao Luoyi was like being amnestied, and hurriedly put vegetables in Chen Huaijin's bowl: "Eat some food first!" Eat a little food first. ”
This meal of drunken wine made people tremble.
Chen Huaijin obediently put down the cup, and glanced at the lord of the country defiantly before starting to eat vegetables.
I'm not afraid that you have a good amount of alcohol, it's my wife who won't let me drink!
Lord: "......"
Sholoy: "......"
The lord of the country came too suddenly, and there were no precious dishes in the back kitchen, so in a hurry, the steward cooked all the rice noodles that were ready to be eaten tomorrow.
Xiao Luoyi sandwiched a bowl of rice noodles for Chen Huaijin, and suddenly found that the bowl of the lord of the country was empty.
And the noble lord didn't know if it was because of the wine, and his eyes looked directly at Chen Huaijin eating rice noodles.
Xiao Luoyi boldly asked, "Why don't you ...... A bowl of rice noodles for you too? ”
Lord: "Okay. ”
So Xiao Luoyi sandwiched another bowl of rice noodles for the lord of the country.
After eating the meal, Xiao Luoyi's back was wet, indicating that this was the most tiring meal in his two lives combined.
As a "landlord", he also had to invite the lord of the country to go back to the room to rest with Chen Huaijin.
But the lord of the country looked at Chen Huaijin and Xiao Luoyi with bright eyes: "I'm not sleepy now, are you sleepy?" ”
Xiao Luoyi and Chen Huaijin glanced at each other: You are not sleepy, how can we be sleepy?
So Xiao Luoyi shook his hand again and again: "Don't be sleepy!" Not sleepy ......"
"So, shall we have some tea with you?"
"Yes." The lord of the kingdom nodded the noble head, and a group of servants came in, removed the wine and food, and put the tea on the table.
The people next to the lord of the country put all kinds of snacks and snacks, obviously brought from Dali City in advance.
The two sides sat down, and the lord of the country began to chatter seemingly unintentionally: "I heard that you used to live on this Zhuangzi?" ”
This was asked by Xiao Luoyi, Xiao Luoyi nodded hurriedly, and said part of the things he could remember.
"I heard that you were chased and killed by Zheng Mingyue's people and went to Yongzhou Mansion?"
Xiao Luoyi replied cautiously this time: "Uh...... It was hunted down, but I'm not sure who sent someone to hunt him down. ”
"Then he was picked up by Chen Huaijin and married him?"
"Yes."
"Then how did you live in Yongzhou Mansion before?" The eyes of the lord of the country suddenly looked at Chen Huaijin.
Chen Huaijin was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect him to speak, and then said, "I'm hunting." ”
"Oh?" The lord of the country sighed, did not answer, and only looked at Chen Huaijin with interest in his eyes.
After being silent for three seconds, seeing that the lord of the country was waiting for him to say, Chen Huaijin had no choice but to talk dryly about his hunting......
"And what about your father?"
Chen Huaijin: "......"
The lord of the country is said to be a little offended, but the people are the lords of the country, and they are on other people's territory, so let's say it.
So Chen Huaijin said lightly: "My father said that the three of us brothers are wild seeds, and drove our brothers and my mother out of the house, and we followed our mother to Yongzhou Mansion to settle down......
Speaking of the past, Chen Huaijin spoke indifferently, as if he was telling someone else's story, but when Xiao Luoyi heard it, he could hear the grievances and anger hidden in his flat tone.
Those bastards on the slope owe Chen Huaijin an apology.
