lobby.
Li Jingmo was talking to Cheng Chumo. He was a little happy that his son could make friends with the son of Lu Guogong's family.
It's not that he likes to cling to powerful people, but that his son will have more security in the future if he has a friend with a strong background, Cheng Chumo.
But Cheng Chumo was on pins and needles. Although Li Jingmo is just a businessman, he has extensive experience and a very good conversation. Cheng Chumo is an old man and has a rough temper, so he is really not suitable for such a formal conversation.
"My dear nephew, is the Duke still in good health?" Li Jingmo said gently. In fact, he was also anxious. After talking to Cheng Chumo for so long, he had almost finished all his polite greetings, but why didn't that brat come? It's really itchy, I have to teach him a lesson later.
Cheng Chumo tried his best to pretend to be a humble young man who read poetry and books, and politely replied: "Thank you for your concern, uncle. My father is doing well."
"Well, I hope you're healthy." Li Jingmo touched his short beard and nodded happily. Then he didn't know what to say. This was the first time he met Cheng Chumo. He had already said everything he needed to say. Mr. Li Dad was secretly worried.
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 thought to himself: I am finally free. If anyone else dared to blindly follow me for so long, they would have been beaten up long ago. Unfortunately, the man in front of me is the father of his good brother, so he cannot be beaten.
Li Zexuan walked in and said hello to his father first. Father Li nodded, stood up and said with a smile: "Since Xuan'er is here, you should treat the ugly nephew well. Don't lose your etiquette. You young people Let’s have a good chat, and this old man like me won’t be an eyesore here, haha.”
The two of them stood up to say goodbye to Li Jingmo. After seeing him go away, Cheng Chumo lay down on the chair and crossed his legs. He was not at all like the upright person he was sitting just now.
Li Zexuan didn't care about this and asked, "Why did Brother Chou Niu come to see me today?"
Knowing that Cheng Chumo didn't like those twists and turns, Li Zexuan simply asked directly.
Cheng Chumo's eyes flashed with helplessness and he said, "My father wants to meet you and ask you to come to my house for a meal."
Li Zexuan was a little suspicious: "Why would Mr. Lu want to see me? Could it be that you said something bad about me in front of his old man?"
After saying that, he stared at Cheng Chumo silently.
Cheng Chumo felt a little guilty because of his stare, but he still stiffened his neck and said, "What are you talking about? How could I, Cheng Chumo, harm my brother? It's really just a meal."
Li Zexuan looked at Cheng Chu silently for a while. Although he still felt that something was wrong, he could not find any flaws for the time being, so he could only say:
"Okay then, I just happened to be visiting Mr. Lu. What does your father like? It's not the first time to go empty-handed, right?"
Cheng Chumo 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 sheepishly: "Well, my dad likes to eat that Xiaoxuan, would you like to take some of the nibbling chicken?"
Li Zexuan smiled heartily: "Ha, no problem, what do I think it is? I'll tell the kitchen to make ten portions of chicken and bring it to Uncle Cheng."
After that, he went out to give orders to the kitchen. Aunt Zhao, the cook of the Li family, had long learned how to nibble chicken under the guidance of Li Zexuan. Although the taste is not as good as that of Zuixianlou, you really can't taste the difference between the two without tasting it carefully.
"Uh, wait."
Cheng Chumo pulled Li Zexuan, his face was ashamed, he carefully gestured with a finger, and said in a nagging voice: "This... my father said... let you make a pot of chicken to chew and bring it over!"
A basin? Damn it, are all the people in the old Cheng family such beasts? Do you eat by the basin? Li Zexuan staggered and almost missed his chance.
…
On Zhuque Street, the two of them rode towards Huaidefang.
However, Cheng Chumo's riding posture was very strange. He was holding the reins in one hand and holding a super-large food box under his waist with the other. Under the strange looks of passers-by on the roadside, he gently kicked the black horse's belly with his calves. , let it go faster.
There was no way, Cheng Chumo really felt a little ashamed for his father at the moment. How could he invite others to dinner and then plunder a large bowl of delicious food from other people's houses? It was so embarrassing.
Li Zexuan watched from behind that Cheng Chumo, who had always been carefree, was actually embarrassed at this moment. It was really rare to see him, and he found it quite interesting. The two of them rode forward, one behind the other.
…
After a while, they arrived in front of the Cheng Mansion.
Looking at the two majestic stone lions and a pair of drum-holding stones in front of Cheng's house, Li Zexuan was a little envious. He also wanted to get two stone lions in front of his house before, but his father gave him a scolding after he found out. , this thing is not something you can do if you have money. Although the Li family is rich, they are still businessmen in the end and are not qualified to do this in front of their door.
Walking into Cheng Mansion, Cheng Chumo pulled over a servant and asked where his father was. Then he turned to Li Zexuan and said, "Xiaoxuan, my father is practicing martial arts in the backyard now. It's still early for lunch. You can come with me to see him first." Meet my father."
Li Zexuan nodded and agreed: "Well, there is no rush to eat. We should pay homage to the old prince first."
He was also very curious about Cheng Yaojin, a historical figure. He had seen many versions of Cheng Yaojin on TV series, but he had never seen him in real life. Li Zexuan was about to meet this outstanding man who had left a mark in the history of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Zexuan was still a little excited.
Although the decoration of the Cheng Mansion was not gorgeous, it still occupied a large area. The two passed through several pavilions and buildings before arriving at the Cheng family's backyard.
To Li Zexuan's expectation, the Cheng family's backyard was quite large. There was also a martial arts stage on the grass in the courtyard. Eighteen kinds of weapons were displayed on it. A bearded man in black was dancing with a pair of giant axes, flipping up and down. Flying, tigers and tigers generate wind. Li Zexuan could feel the strong wind under the ax even from a distance away.
A master, this is a master whose skill is at least not inferior to his own. Li Zexuan made a judgment instantly. Seeing that the face of the big man with black beard was very similar to that of Cheng Chumo, Li Zexuan guessed that this man must be Cheng Yaojin.
Follow Cheng Chumo and walk towards the strong man.
When the strong man noticed someone coming, he put down his axe, turned around and saw his son and a tall, handsome young man walking towards this side.
Cheng Yaojin laughed loudly, jumped off the martial arts stage, and arrived before anyone else arrived: "Haha, you little baby must be the newly recognized brother that the ugly cow in my family often mentions. Not bad, not bad. He has a strong body and a good health. You have a good skin."
When Cheng Yaojin came forward, Cheng Chu silently called him daddy. Li Zexuan quickly stepped forward and clasped his fists respectfully, saying, "Young man, I have met Lord Lu."
Cheng Yaojin patted Li Zexuan on the shoulder and laughed and said: "Haha, don't be too polite. My old Cheng family doesn't like these red tapes. Now that my ugly cow recognizes you as my brother, we will be a family from now on. Let's go, let's go Let’s go back to the front hall and chat.”
The three of them walked to the front yard again.

I'm sleepy =_=, I stayed up all night last night, now I'm going to bed, please count the votes, three grams of oil!
