When several ladies heard Zhao Xingwen's words and learned that this meal was actually cooked by Xia Chu himself, they couldn't help but blame him, especially Mrs. Zhao. She pointed at Zhao Xingwen and cursed: "It's so hard for your cousin to come here. You actually asked a noble lord to cook, get over here."
No matter how Zhao Xingwen was willing to go over, he still had to be torn clean after these three or two blows. He saw his mother already squeezing her fingers, and he panicked and immediately hid behind General Zhao.
When Xia Chu saw that her aunt was particularly skilled in loosening her muscles and bones, she poked her head behind her and whispered, "Auntie is also a martial arts practitioner, isn't she?"
Zhao Xingwen looked startled: "Didn't my uncle tell you? My mother is also the queen of the family. Her name is..."
Before Zhao Xingwen finished speaking, General Zhao took the two of them out from behind by their collars, one by one, and said, "Are you still chatting with each other from behind?"
Zhao Xingwen pursed his lips, it was not him who started it...
"Grandpa..." Xia Chu immediately put on a smile, and the call was so coquettish and coquettish that even the ladies were stunned for a moment.
No wonder they were shocked. There had never been anyone in the general's residence who could act coquettishly.
Although Old General Zhao still pretended to be angry, he relaxed at least and said, "Let's eat first."
"Okay." Xia Chu and Zhao Xingwen helped him walk to the main seat.
General Zhao took Xia Chu and sat on his left side, and Zhao Xingwen naturally sat on the other side of Xia Chu. Xia Chu asked Su Qian'an to sit down as well. Su Qian'an glanced at the table and saw where she dared to do anything.
Xia Chu said to General Zhao, "This is the person I want to introduce to you today. His name is Su Qian'an."
"I've met General Zhao." Su Qian'an clasped her fists and saluted after hearing this, then turned around and saluted again: "I've met you ladies."
General Zhao glanced at the eight-foot-tall Su Qian'an and nodded: "You have a good temperament. Since Yunyi asked you to sit down, then you can sit down."
After hearing General Zhao's words, Zhao Xingwen was afraid that Su Qian'an would push him again, so he simply pushed him down and sat down next to him.
Xia Chu gave Zhao Xingwen a complimenting look, turned to General Zhao and whispered, "I didn't give you the raven when you asked me for it, and now I'm giving you another swordsman."
General Zhao frowned dissatisfied. He had just looked at Su Qian'an. He was of good height. It could be seen that after the raven's knife, there was no other knife that could penetrate his eyes.
Xia Chu saw through what he was thinking at a glance, and then said in his ear: "Raven's sword is very powerful. Marching and fighting is not the same as an ordinary man's bravery. Qian'an is a talented general. Grandpa, take good care of him."
General Zhao raised his eyebrows: "You think highly of him."
"You will know in the future." Xia Chu raised a smile: "Although his sword skills are not as good as Raven's, he can still be as good as his cousin in a single fight."
Zhao Xingwen was not happy when he heard this and slapped Xia Chu on the shoulder: "Hey, why are you so supportive?"
With a 'swish' sound, a chopstick was accurately thrown towards Zhao Xingwen's hand. Fortunately, Zhao Xingwen dodged in time.
"Your cousin, Jin Gui, with his thin arms and legs, can withstand such a heavy slap from you?" Mrs. Zhao scolded her sternly.
?
Thin arms and legs
You should really see what Guo Weidong looked like back then...
Zhao Xingwen thought in his heart and looked aggrieved.
Xia Chu saw that the strength of the chopsticks was really strong, fast and precise, and he couldn't help but turn to look at Mrs. Zhao: "My aunt is a practitioner..."
Mrs. Zhao glanced at her. Mrs. Zhao coughed lightly and turned red.
Mrs. Zhao turned to look at Xia Chu: "Do you know why your uncle brought Xingwen and Xingwu into the military since they were young?"
Xia Chu looked startled: "Isn't it that uncle wants to train him from an early age?"
Mrs. Zhao's face became even more embarrassed: "Mother..."
Everyone at the table laughed out loud. Xia Chu listened to their laughter and banter, and finally understood the whole story.
It turns out that Mrs. Zhao is Gu Shirou, the sister of Gu Shiqing, the queen of the general family. From this name, she knows that the family hopes that she will become a gentle and virtuous woman.
But she had been dancing with Gu Shiqing since she was a child. She was so soft that she couldn't be soft anymore. Biao, that's famous...
Gu Shirou couldn't get along with those delicate rich ladies, but he and Zhao Lansheng got along quite well. In addition, the two families were family friends and both were daughters of generals. They were in the same situation and had many topics to talk about, and the relationship was very good.
Therefore, she often came to Zhao's house, and she became familiar with Zhao Shuangquan from time to time. They were childhood sweethearts, and looking at the whole capital, although Gu Shirou was of high status, no one except Zhao Shuangquan dared to marry her.
After Gu Shirou got married, General Gu hurriedly got married to General Zhao. Not long after their wedding, they had Xingwen and Xingwu. After the full moon of Xingwu, Zhao Shuangquan went to the battlefield, and from then on they got together less and separated more.
But when the two sons were seven years old in the Zhao Mansion, Mrs. Zhao sent a letter to Zhao Shuangquan, asking him to come back and pick up the two sons. Zhao Shuangquan only found out after he returned to Beijing.
Gu Shirou is a fiery person, but others are strong as a mother. She protects her children without hesitation.
As a mother, she is strong-willed and will never show mercy when it comes to beating her children. And once she gets up, no one in the Zhao family can stop her...
Mrs. Zhao felt sorry for her grandson, so she ordered Zhao Shuangquan to take her child to the military camp.
Zhao Shuangquan originally thought that the children were too young to endure such hardships in the military camp. He never thought that precisely because Gu Shirou had never been spoiled and raised them since they were young, and because the two children had been beaten hard since they were young, they were actually very adaptable to military life. , even Mrs. Zhao was very emotional after receiving Zhao Shuangquan’s reply...
After hearing such a story today, Xia Chu realized why all the Zhao family's army died on the battlefield in the previous life. He heard that Mrs. Zhao in the capital handed a document to the emperor, and all the female family members ended up living in a corner of Jicheng to avoid the world.
It was strange that the entire Zhao family army was wiped out. It seems that Gu Shirou also noticed something at that time, so he took them to Jincheng.
"I didn't expect my aunt and mother to be sisters Jinlan." Xia Chu raised his glass to Gu Shirou.
Gu Shirou's face was full of sighs: "Yes, your mother and I have a very good relationship, so you should come to Zhao's house more often. You have lost your mother since you were a child, so I can take care of you for her. "
After Gu Shirou said this, there was another cough on the table, and Zhao Xingwen called out in a submissive voice: "Mother, he is the one with thin arms and legs who really can't stand your care..."
Gu Shirou's eyebrows stood up, and Zhao Xingwen immediately fell silent. Gu Shirou smiled gently at Xia Chu: "Don't listen to his nonsense, my aunt will not do anything to you."
Zhao Xingwen, who was beside him, snorted and lowered his voice in Xia Chu's ear.
"She has never done anything in the first place, she is just a copycat..."
