Chapter 33 Invitation
Vestibule.
Li Jingmo was talking with Cheng Chumo, and he was still a little happy that his son could make friends with the son of the Lu Guogong family.
It's not that he likes to cling to the powerful, but that his son has more Cheng Chumo, a friend who is very hard in the background, and his safety will be a little more secure in the future.
But Cheng Chumo was a little on pins and needles. Although Li Jingmo is just a businessman, he has a wide range of knowledge and experience, and his conversation is quite good.
"Virtuous nephew, is the old man still healthy?" Li Jingmo said gently. In fact, he was also anxious in his heart, and he had been talking to Cheng Chumo for so long, and those polite greetings were almost finished, but why didn't that stinky boy come? It's really itchy, and I'm going to teach him a lesson when I go back.
Cheng Chumo tried his best to pretend to be a humble son who read poetry and books, and replied politely: "Thank you uncle for your concern, my father is all right." ”
"Well, it's good to be healthy." Li Jingmo touched his chin and nodded with satisfaction, and then he didn't know what to say, it was the first time he and Cheng Chumo had met, and he had already said what he should have said, and Father Li was secretly anxious in his heart.
Finally, at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief to varying degrees. Cheng Chu said silently: Finally liberated, if others dared to be blind to me for so long, they would have been beaten up a long time ago, but unfortunately the father in front of me is his good brother, so he can't be beaten.
Li Zexuan walked in the door and said hello to his father first, Father Li nodded, got up and said with a smile: "Since Xuan'er is here, you will entertain the ugly cow and nephew, don't lose your courtesy, you young people have a good chat, my old man is not here to be an eyesore, hehe." ”
The two got up to say goodbye to Li Jingmo, and after seeing him go away, Cheng Chumo lay down on the chair with his butt up, cocking Erlang's legs, not at all like the precarious sitting just now.
Li Zexuan didn't care about these either, so he asked, "Why did Brother Ugly Niu come to me today?" ”
Knowing that Cheng Chumo didn't like those twists and turns, Li Zexuan simply asked directly.
A trace of helplessness flashed in Cheng Chumo's eyes, and he said, "My father wants to see you and let you go to my house for a meal." ”
Li Zexuan was a little suspicious: "How could Lu Guogong want to see me?" Didn't you say anything bad about me in front of his old man? ”
After that, he stared at Cheng Chumo silently.
Cheng Chumo was stared at by him a little weakly, but he still stiffened his neck and said, "What are you talking about?" How could I harm my own brother? It's really just a meal. ”
Li Zexuan looked at Cheng Chu for a long time, although he still felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find any flaws for the time being, so he had to say:
"Alright then, I'm just going to visit Lu Guogong. What does your dad like? It's not good to go empty-handed on this first visit, right? ”
Cheng Chu waved his hand impatiently: "You don't need to bring anything, come with me!" After saying that, he suddenly paused, as if he thought of something, licked his mouth, and said embarrassedly: "Eh, my father likes to eat that gnawing chicken, Xiaoxuan, do you want to bring some?" ”
Li Zexuan smiled heartily: "Ha, no problem, what should I do, I will order the kitchen to make ten portions of gnawed chicken and bring it to Uncle Cheng." ”
Then he will go out and command the kitchen. Aunt Zhao, the cook of the Li family, has long learned to gnaw the chicken under Li Zexuan's teaching, although it is not as good as the taste of Zuixianlou, but if you don't taste it carefully, you really can't taste the difference between the two.
"Uh, wait."
Cheng Chumo grabbed Li Zexuan, his face was ashamed, he carefully gestured a finger, and said loudly: "This... My dad said... Let you make a pot of gnawing chicken and bring it over! ”
A pot? Damn, are all the people of this old Cheng family like this? Eating is all by the pot? Li Zexuan stumbled and almost flashed his old waist.
……
On Suzaku Street, the two rode horses and rushed to Huaidefang.
I saw him holding the reins in one hand and holding a super-large food box under his waist with the other, and under the strange gaze of pedestrians on the side of the road, he gently kicked the belly of the black horse under him with his calf to make it go faster.
There's no way, Cheng Chumo really feels a little panicked for his father at the moment, how can he invite others to dinner and scavenge a large pot of food from other people's homes, it's a shame.
Li Zexuan looked at Cheng Chumo, who had always been very arrogant, from behind, and was embarrassed at this moment, it was really rare to see, and he felt quite interesting. The two of them marched forward one after the other, beating their horses and moving forward.
……
After a while, he came to the door of Cheng's house.
Looking at the two majestic stone lions and a pair of drum stones in front of the Cheng Mansion, Li Zexuan was a little envious, he also wanted to get two stone lions in front of his house before, but he was reprimanded by his father after knowing about it, this thing is not something that can be made with money, although the Li family is rich, but in the final analysis, they are still businessmen, and they are not qualified to get these in front of the door.
Walking into the mansion, Cheng Chumo came over to a family member, asked where his father was, and then turned to Li Zexuan and said: "Xiao Xuan, my father is practicing martial arts in the backyard now, it's still early before lunch time, you go with me to meet my father first." ”
Li Zexuan nodded and agreed: "Well, there is no hurry to eat, you should meet the old prince first." ”
He is also very curious about Cheng Yanjin, a historical celebrity, and has seen many versions of Cheng Yanjin on TV series, but he has never seen a real person. is about to meet this cattle man who has left a strong mark in the history of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Zexuan's heart is still a little excited.
Although the decoration of Cheng's mansion is not gorgeous, it also occupies a large area, and the two walked through several pavilions and buildings before coming to the backyard of Cheng's house.
To Li Zexuan's surprise, the backyard of Cheng's house is quite large, and there is a martial arts platform on the grass in the courtyard, on which eighteen kinds of weapons are displayed, and a strong man in black with a big beard is dancing with a pair of giant axes, flying up and down, tigers and tigers, Li Zexuan stands far away, and he can feel the strong wind under the axe.
Master, this is a master whose skill is at least not below his own, Li Zexuan made a judgment in an instant. Seeing that the black-bearded man's face was three points similar to Cheng Chumo's, Li Zexuan estimated that this person should be Cheng Yanjin.
followed Cheng Chumo and walked towards the strong man.
When the strong man noticed that someone was coming, he put down his axe, turned his head, and saw his son and a tall and handsome young man approaching this way.
Cheng Biting Jin laughed, jumped off the martial arts stage, and came before anyone arrived: "Haha, your little doll must be the newly recognized brother that my ugly cow often mentions, not bad, good posture, but born with a good skin." ”
When Cheng Yanjin stepped forward, Cheng Chu silently called his father, and Li Zexuan hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully hugged his fists and said, "The kid has seen Lu Guogong." ”
Cheng Yanjin patted Li Zexuan's shoulder and laughed: "Haha, don't be polite, my old Cheng family doesn't like these red tapes, since my ugly cow recognizes you as a brother, I will be a family in the future." Let's go back to the front room and talk. ”
The three of them walked back to the front yard.
