Chapter 56: Somehow
"Hahahaha...... Two little brothers...... Hehe...... There's no need to be so vigilant......"
The brown-robed middle-aged man looked at Gu Cangsheng and Chu Xiao sitting on the horse, two pairs of tiger eyes staring at him solemnly, and couldn't help but shake his head and laugh!
Not necessary?
...... Try it for you!
Gu Cangsheng and Chu Xiaoxian glanced at each other, and they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes...... The two turned over and dismounted, pulled the reins of the dragon horse with one hand, and then bowed slightly to the middle-aged man......
"Senior ......"
"Huh...... People in the rivers and lakes, why be polite ......?" The brown-robed middle-aged man smiled and waved his hand, put his long hair on his hand, rubbed it lightly twice, and then raised his hand and pointed to a wine curtain fluttering in the wind not far from his side, and said, "...... It is past noon on or so, and it should be time to eat...... I saw the two little brothers sitting on the treasure horse, and they were in the dust, and they didn't want to eat yet...... It's better to meet by chance...... The three of you and I go upstairs for a drink, okay?"
This middle-aged man is familiar with himself......
Chu Xiaoxian didn't speak, turned his face sideways and looked at Gu Cangsheng...... Gu Cangsheng groaned slightly, but also nodded slightly!
...... The two of them had just arrived in the town without the British Alliance, although they had some information provided by Shopkeeper Zhou...... It can also be said that he is not familiar with life, and he belongs to the state of touching the dark with his eyes closed......
rushed directly into the stronghold, slashing and killing in one go...... Then it's not about looking for trouble...... That's looking for death!
"It's okay......" Gu Cangsheng bowed slightly, then raised his head, looked at the brown-robed middle-aged man in front of him, and said with a smile, "...... It's hard to resist the hospitality, then it will bother Mr."
"Hahaha...... Well said, well said!"
The brown-robed middle-aged man looked up to the sky and laughed, stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation, and then turned around and walked towards the wine shop not far away, and walked first!
Chu Xiaoxian and Gu Cangsheng glanced at each other..... Gu Cangsheng nodded at Chu Xiaoxian silently...... The two of them pulled up the reins of the horses and followed the middle-aged figure in brown robes to the restaurant......
......
Coming upstairs, the brown-robed middle-aged man asked for a private room very familiarly, ordered a table of banquets at random, and then greeted Gu Cangsheng and Chu Xiaoxian with a warm face...... This attitude made Chu Xiaoxian and Gu Cangsheng really confused...... The vigilance in my heart couldn't help but raise it again!
It's weird...... How can this great master be like a fucking profiteer...... Look at that cute smile...... Could it be that he is his old patron?
...... With a heart full of temptation, Chu Xiaoxian and Gu Cangsheng sat opposite the middle-aged man left and right...... The middle-aged man looked at them lightly and smiled lightly, but he didn't say anything......
Gu Cangsheng raised his hand, and just wanted to pour himself a cup of tea, when the young man standing next to him hurriedly stepped forward to fill his teacup...... Who knew that Gu Cangsheng actually stretched his arm horizontally and stopped the young man's outstretched hands...... Then, I poured a glass for each of the three of myself!
"You go down first...... We'll call someone if we need to!"
Chu Xiaoxian turned his head sideways and said to this young man who was a little dazed by Gu Cangsheng!
“...... It's ......"
The young man nodded his head, turned around and walked out the door...... Outside the house, the door of the private room was gently closed!
After a shallow sip of the tea in the cup, Gu Cangsheng looked around and looked at the private room in front of him......
Not to mention, this small hut can really afford to be called "elegant and tranquil"!
The walls around the private room are all light green, except for the ceiling, which is a clear pale blue...... The purple cold wooden window is only about half a person high, but it is not small....... Outside the window, you can see the clear and turquoise inner lake at a glance!
On the left and right walls, there are also excellent works of different literati, but they do not seem to show any sense of vassal elegance...... The paintings and poems complement each other with the sights in front of you......
As soon as Gu Cangsheng looked up, he saw a masterpiece of phoenix dancing and dragon flying hanging on the opposite wall - a song "Picking Lotus Fu...... It is a lyrical essay he created when he visited Spruce Lake in Guangling City two years ago...... The brushwork of the wind dancing dragon flying is the "common body" that he has always been proud of!
But it's obvious...... The pair in front of me must be a fake...... The real "Lotus Picking Fu" is hanging in the boudoir of his aunt, Princess Xian'an...... Although sometimes the Xian'an Palace Lord watched Gu Cangsheng fall willingly, he felt a little distressed...... But for his writing and calligraphy, she still really likes it!
Gu Cangsheng slowly put down the teacup in his hand, looked at the young man in the brown robe and laughed, and smacked his tongue: "Hey...... Sir, don't talk about it...... Although this small building is full of fakes, it looks ...... Gee...... It's like that!"
"Hehehe...... In this small corner of the world, it is not bad to have such a small building...... It's better than nothing!"
The brown-robed middle-aged man followed Gu Cangsheng's gaze, also looked around the private room, and then smiled lightly and said!
"Hey...... I really can't see what's good or bad about this little green house!" Chu Xiao snorted, scratched the beard on his face, and said, "Anyway, I know...... Just drinking this little tea, I'm sure he doesn't care if he's full......"
As he spoke, he gently patted his belly...... The stomach is also very cooperative "gurgling", and there is a sound!
"Hehehe......"
The brown-robed middle-aged man looked at Chu Xiaoxian scratching his head, shook his head and chuckled...... He tapped lightly on the table with his hand, turned his head, rushed out of the door, and said loudly: "Little Er...... It's served!"
“...... Come on......"
A long response came from outside the door...... The young man just now was in a hurry, carrying wine and food, and walked into the private room......
......
On the banquet, Chu Xiaoxian unceremoniously pulled off the two chicken thighs on the roast chicken, held one left and one right in his hand, and from time to time raised one and put it in his mouth to nibble...... Gu Cangsheng looked sideways at his busy appearance, and couldn't help but sneer......
He found out that his cousin was ...... I really love chicken!
In the more than half a month I have been with him, I have to have chicken to eat...... Frying, stir-frying, cooking, frying, stewing, slipping, boiling, stewing...... Anyway, it doesn't matter how to do it, as long as it's a chicken, that's fine!
Chu Xiaoxian didn't know why Gu Cangsheng was smiling...... "busy", he also raised his eyelids and glanced at Gu Cangsheng...... Seeing that the other party waved his hand at him, he put his energy on the chicken leg in his hand again!
The brown-robed middle-aged man smiled, and he didn't care about Chu Xiao's gobbling up...... He raised the wine jug and poured himself a glass, and then poured another glass for Gu Cangsheng...... Then, he shook the wine jug in his hand at Chu Xiao, who was "slamming", and when he saw him nodding, he poured him a glass too!
Gu Cangsheng slowly raised his wine glass and smacked his lips slightly...... Although the vigilance in my heart has not decreased in the slightest, it is not as nervous as it was just now...... I think the same is true for Chu Xiaoxian, who is tearing chicken wings on the side......
"Thank you, sir, for your hospitality...... This one...... On behalf of our two brothers, the younger generation took advantage of the good intentions of the husband to present a thin wine...... Well...... The younger generation does it first for respect!"
Gu Cangsheng's words are full of etiquette...... After that, he raised the silver wine cup in his hand and drank it all!
The brown-robed middle-aged man also drank the wine in the cup, put down the silver cup, and said with a slight smile: "Why is the little brother so polite...... Seeing each other is fate....... if you lose your hand with a talented person, isn't it a big regret in life?"
"Huh...... In front of Mr., how can you talk about the name of a talented person?"
Gu Cangsheng hurriedly waved his hand and said modestly!
The brown-robed middle-aged man listened to Gu Cangsheng's words, made a movement in his hand, and then shook his head and smiled: "...... Ho ho ...... The foolish brother is just a few years older, and he has added a few more years of Taoism, that's all!"
Gu Cangsheng smiled lightly, unfolded the folding fan, shook his head and waved his hands......
At this dinner table, the "division of labor" of the three people is very clear...... Chu Xiaoxian buried his head in eating, and Gu Cangsheng was in charge of arguing with the middle-aged man and testing each other......
To be honest, with the strength of the brown-robed middle-aged, it was easy to deal with Gu Cangsheng and Chu Xiaoxian...... However, since the other party has nothing to do against them for the time being, they are also happy to have a fight with him...... The other side seems to have been in this town for a few days...... It's also good to have a little bit of useful information!
