Chapter 5 Old Zhou
"Ah, yes!" Hearing this, Xiang Zhongliang was stunned at first, and then nodded heavily as if he had been amnestied, and disappeared in front of the two in the blink of an eye. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"......" Zhou Lao looked at Xiang Zhongliang's back in astonishment, and suddenly had doubts in his heart, he really couldn't understand how the other party could look like this.
After a while, thinking that he was fruitless, Zhou Lao shook his head slightly, then turned his eyes to look at Xiang Hui, lowered his head and asked, "Young clan, I don't know what the old man can serve?"
"En?" Seeing this, Xiang Hui raised his eyebrows, feeling quite surprised in his heart, and said secretly: I haven't said it yet, how can this old man know that I have something to trust?
After a while, Xiang Hui raised his eyes and glanced around, and after making sure that no one was there, he turned his eyes to the other party and said, "Actually, Ben ...... Indeed, I have something to trust!"
......Hearing this, Zhou Lao was stunned for a moment, and his heart was confused, what he said before was nothing more than polite words, who would have thought that Xiang Hui really had something else to do.
Seeing this, Xiang Hui was suspicious, and then stepped forward and whispered in Zhou Lao's ear: "Actually, it's not a big deal, I just want to ask Zhou Lao to help me send something out......"
Hearing this, Zhou Lao immediately showed a look of surprise, and then cautiously stepped forward, lowered his voice and asked, "I don't know what the young clan is talking about?"
Xiang Hui smiled slightly, and then squinted his eyes and said: "Actually, it's not a particularly valuable thing, this thing is a plaything I borrowed when I went out a few days ago, I originally wanted to go out and return it to others in person, but recently my studies have been heavy and I can't get out, so I want to trouble Zhou Lao to do a little favor......
"I see!" Hearing this, Zhou Lao nodded clearly, and then straightened his chest and said: "Don't worry, as long as the old man can do his best, he will definitely not shirk!"
Seeing this, Xiang Hui nodded with satisfaction, then raised his hand to a row of barrels next to the kitchen door, and said in a low voice: "Later, I will put things in the first barrel, and when you leave, just bring it up......!"
Between the words, Xiang Hui raised his hand and rubbed his chin, and after his eyes rolled for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said decisively: "Just send it to Tianmu Lake!"
And where Xiang Hui is pointing, there is indeed a row of waist-high hardwood barrels. It's just that the outside of the barrel is stained with oil and vegetables, and there is a faint breath of acetic acid coming from it.
"Tianmu Lake?" Zhou Lao raised his eyebrows, and then said with a relaxed expression: "It's very close to the old residence!"
Between the words, Zhou Lao's heart was settled, and then he patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, the young clan will rest assured, this matter will be wrapped up in the old man!"
"That's very good!" Xiang Hui nodded with a smile, and then said quietly: "That's right, because that item is too heavy, and you are old, so you can go...... Let Xiang Zhongliang allocate two kitchens and bathrooms to work together. ”
"This ......" Zhou Lao was stunned when he heard this, but he was not without doubts, and then said loudly: "That's fine." ”
After finishing speaking, Zhou Lao nodded to Xiang Hui, and then took a step across, bypassed the other party's body, and walked straight towards the kitchen.
Xiang Hui had a hypocritical smile on his face, squinting at Zhou Lao's back until the other party completely disappeared into the kitchen......
......
Xiangjiabao, West Gate.
The entrance hall of Xiangjiabao is quite tall and spacious, its door is two zhang high and one zhang wide, and the size is equivalent to the gate of a small city. On the door beam, hang a gold lacquer plaque horizontally, and write three gold lacquer characters - Xiangjiabao.
Outside the west gate, there is an official road leading to the outside world, which is paved with white stone slabs, the width of the road reaches four zhang, and the inside is clean as new, clean and dusty, and the green leaves and shrubs are lined with green leaves on both sides.
However, at this time, there were no pedestrians on the official road, only a carriage quietly stopped.
The carriage was simple in style, and its interior space was slightly narrow, only enough for two people. There was no other outfit outside the carriage, and it looked extremely ordinary, and if there was anything on it that could attract attention, it might be the lovely girl on it.
The girl is petite, wearing a green dress, combed back like a waterfall and black silk into two twisted pigtails, her eyebrows are clear, her eyes are like a clear spring, and her eyes are like two bright lights in the blink of an eye, giving people a sense of ghosts and spirits.
This daughter is Zhou Lao's granddaughter - Xue'er.
"Giggle......" At this time, Cher was lying on the back of the horse playfully, holding her chin with her hands and looking at the two guards at the door curiously, laughing funny from time to time.
The two guards were dressed in green robes, hanging green armor, holding standard spears and standard long swords hanging from their waists, and the two of them stood as tall as pines, standing still, with a sharp cold glow in their eyes.
At this time, the two nurses frowned slightly, pursed their thick lips slightly, and scanned the surrounding environment with solemn expressions.
"Giggles. Xue'er squinted and let out a chuckle, then turned over and dismounted with great effort, and jumped up and down in front of the two nurses, constantly looking at their appearances.
"Uncle. Xue'er blinked her big eyes, then scratched her little brain, and asked curiously, "What game are you playing, why are you still moving?"
......However, in response to Xue'er's inquiry, the two guards still stood in place like stone statues, without even blinking their eyes.
"Hmph!" Seeing this, Xue'er pouted, then folded her hands around her chest, raised her chin and said, "I know if you don't say it, you must be playing with wooden people!"
As she spoke, Xue'er's eyes trickled, and then she squinted and smiled, and suddenly jumped in front of the guard on the left, and opened her mouth to let out a strange roar: "Wow roar!"
......Seeing this, the corner of the nurse's eyebrows was unnaturally raised, and a black line suddenly appeared on his forehead......
This situation happened to fall into the eyes of Zhou Lao and the two kitchen servants who drove out of the barrel behind him.
"Xue'er!" Seeing this, Zhou Lao was stunned at first, and then his eyes widened, and he hurriedly whispered: "Don't mess around!"
The two kitchen servants nodded to the two guards, and then walked through Zhou Lao and Xue'er, driving the barrel to the carriage.
"Ahh
Between the words, Xue'er trotted forward, crashed into Zhou Lao's arms, and then hugged Zhou Lao's waist tightly, and the joy in her heart was overflowing.
"Huh. Seeing this, Zhou Lao couldn't help but smile and shook his head, first raised his hand and touched Xue'er's head, then smiled apologetically at the nurse, and said a little helplessly: "I'm tired of the two adults, I hope Xue'er didn't cause you trouble." ”
"How can there be!" Hearing this, Xue'er was suddenly very unhappy, but when she saw her pouting, she said in a coquettish voice: "Xue'er is well-behaved, how can it cause trouble for them." ”
Seeing this, the corner of the nurse's mouth twitched, revealing a stiff smile, and then said in a muffled voice: "Old Zhou is polite, Miss Xue'er is very well-behaved." ”
Hearing this, Xue'er suddenly smiled, and then shook Zhou Lao's clothes and said, "Look, Xue'er is very well-behaved!"
"Good, good. Seeing this, Zhou Lao showed a kind smile on his face, and then reached out to lift Xue'er into the air and picked it up, rubbed the other party's nose dotingly, and laughed softly: "In this world, our little Xue'er is the most well-behaved!"
"Of course!" Xue'er grabbed Zhou Lao's long beard with a smile and let out a string of joyful laughter like silver bells.
Old Zhou held Xue'er in his arms, and then nodded with a chuckle at the two returning kitchen servants, and said sincerely: "I'm tired of the two cooks." ”
Hearing this, the two kitchen servants shook their heads with a smile, and then opened their mouths and said, "Old Zhou is polite, since this matter is ordered by the young clan, how can we not obey it?"
Between the words, the two nodded to Xue'er with a smile, and then said, "Elder Zhou, let's go back quickly, so as not to delay the lunch meal." After speaking, the two walked straight towards the courtyard, and disappeared into the west gate in a few moments.
After the two kitchen servants left, Zhou Lao sighed leisurely, then smiled kindly at Xue'er, and said softly, "Then let's go back too?"
"Okay!" Xue'er nodded slightly, then rolled her eyes, pulled the other party's beard and said, "Xue'er wants to eat sweet and sour pork ribs!"
"Okay, okay, we'll eat sweet and sour pork ribs at noon!" Zhou Lao shook his head helplessly, then nodded to the two nurses, and walked towards the carriage with Xue'er in his arms.
Hiss!
Da Da Da ......
A moment later, amid a high-pitched neighing of horses, Zhou Lao drove the carriage and slowly disappeared at the end of the official road......
......
Xiangjiabao, Mochizuki Pavilion.
Moon Pavilion is located in the northwest side of the inner courtyard, in the corner of the clan courtyard and the clan courtyard, its body is a string moon shaped ancient style pavilion, specially for the Xiang people to enjoy the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, reunion and congratulations.
The entrance of the Moon Pavilion is in the north, the shape is like the courtyard, but there is no step and corridor that connects up and down, and there are few beams and walls in it, and its construction style is also relatively strange: its body is like the quarter moon, sitting north to south, its body is divided into three layers, it is three semicircular platforms stacked in a stepped shape - the radius of the top layer is 30 zhang, the radius of the middle layer is 60 zhang, and the radius of the bottom layer is 120 zhang.
Among them, the ground floor is topped by the ground of the middle floor, and the middle floor is topped by the ground of the top floor, and countless tables and guest seats are neatly placed under it;
The overall tone of Mochizuki Pavilion is mainly red color, except for the platform is paved with white stone slabs, the rest of the things are made of mahogany, and countless Rui beasts and carved patterns are carved on it, giving people a strong sense of festivity.
However, at this time, the Moon Pavilion was quite deserted, and from a distance, I could only vaguely see a vague figure under the roof of the top floor.
The man was slender and sat at a table in the corner of the feast, silent as a statue.
At this time, the warm sun shifted in the middle, and the sunlight shone obliquely on the roof of the shed, reflecting a shadow that covered the man's eyebrows and brows, making it difficult to distinguish his specific expression. However, if you look closely, you can still determine the identity of this person from his physical characteristics, clothing and demeanor.
This person is Xiang Yu......
