After the meal, it was already past You and it was too late, so it was not convenient to rush on the way. All the talented men and gentlemen in the three counties of Chongming were arranged by the prefect Lu to rest in the inn.
Xiao Chu and Xiao Chang'an are father and son, so they were separated into the same room to live.
Lying on the bed, Xiao Chu finally breathed a sigh of relief. At the wine table, Xiao Chu's weak heart can be said to be suffering. You know, you can only watch others drink and brag at the wine table. It's really
Not an easy thing.
However, Xiao Chu also thought about his plan carefully while thinking about it and took action when he was about to return to Dingyuan County. Anyway, including the scholarships given by the three gentlemen, he also had the start-up capital.
Xiao Changan was drunk at the banquet. Because Xiao Chu was his son, everyone on the table knew him and kept raising him to drink, wanting to make friends with him. In everyone's opinion, Xiao Chu was like this
The little guy's talent and talent will definitely have a day of success in the future. If he can make friends with him in advance, it may be of some benefit to him in the future.
Xiao Chu looked at Xiao Changan who was lying on the bed and was sleeping soundly. He felt helpless. Is it you who took care of me or I who took care of you?
Alas, I was tired and my life was so tired. Xiao Chuyi sighed.
Concentrating and meditating, Xiao Chu recalled the situation at the Chongming Mansion Literature Competition today. He clearly felt that the fair-skinned young man in the Chongming Mansion team looked at him from time to time. What was this guy always staring at him? Immediately, Xiao immediately
I was relieved for a while. At such a conference, my performance must have attracted many people's curiosity, so it was not surprising that the young boy in white looked back and forth.
As he thought about it, Xiao Chu also felt sleepy. After all, after a day of trouble, he had already fallen into sleep.
I don't know how long it took, but Xiao Chu only felt someone calling him. He thought it was a dream, but he ignored it, but later he felt someone patting his shoulder. For a moment, Xiao Chu knew that this was not a dream, but
It's already so late, who is calling me?
Xiao Chu opened his eyes and was about to speak, but then he saw the man making a ban on voice.
"Shh--Little guy, do you still remember me?" The man took off his cover and said to Xiao Chu.
Reflecting the moonlight, Xiao Chu looked at the man in black, and a familiar face entered Xiao Chu's sight, because the man in black was Xiao Wu, the guard next to Xiao Tai.
Xiao Chu nodded, signaled to know him, and said, "Uncle Xiaowu."
Xiao Wu smiled faintly, and his two rows of white teeth appeared against the moonlight, looking quite funny, "Little guy comes with me, the Duke wants to see you!"
This is a bit strange to Xiao Chu. It was midnight. The old man Xiao Tai wanted to see him? Is there anything important?
However, people sent someone to invite him in person, and Xiao Chu was embarrassed to say no, so he tiptoed out of the door with Xiao Wu, afraid of waking up the sleeping Xiao Chang'an.
However, Xiao Chu's worries were a little unnecessary. Xiao Changan had been drunk by the drink yesterday and was probably unable to wake up in a few hours.
I followed Xiao Wu to the Chongming Prefecture Office, where Xiao Tai temporarily lives.
After sending Xiao Chu to the room, Xiao Wu stood consciously at the door to protect him and did not follow him in.
When he entered the room, Xiao Chu saw Xiao Tai sitting on the chair, and immediately stepped forward and bowed to Xiao Tai: "Sunny Xiao Chu, I have seen grandpa."
Xiao Tai smiled, stared at Xiao Chu with his eyes full of kindness, and said, "Little guy, you are here."
Xiao Chuyi's pair of watery little eyes could be seen faintly against the moonlight, and he nodded to Xiao Tai.
"Little guy, do you know what happened to me when I came to you today?" Xiao Tai is a soldier and is not used to talking around the bush, so he ran straight to the subject.
"Report to grandpa, Chu'er doesn't know." Xiao Chu shook his head. He was really confused about Xiao Tai's purpose of finding him. He couldn't think of what the old man was going to come to him in the middle of the night.
Xiao Tai looked back and forth on Xiao Chu: "I'm looking for you today, there are three things to do."
After speaking, Xiao Tai raised his arm and made a gesture of three.
Xiao Chu was surprised, but he didn't think much about it. He just stared at Xiao Tai and waited for his next sentence.
"First, I want to congratulate you on winning the title of the Chongming Mansion Literature Competition!" Xiao Tai smiled and looked at Xiao Chu with love and appreciation.
Xiao Chu forced a smile. This old man just said congratulations in the middle of the night? This is really speechless. When did you say no? You have to call me here in the middle of the night. This talented man can sleep soundly.
Besides, you are so old, don’t you rest at night? I tell you that once you get older, you will suffer from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases if you don’t rest for a long time.
But these are what Xiao Chu thought in his heart, and he didn't dare to tell this. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if Xiao Tai treats him as a lunatic?
Although the light in the room was dim, at least a few rays of moonlight reflected through the windows, allowing the grandparents and grandchildren to see each other's faces clearly.
Xiao Tai also noticed the change in Xiao Chu's face. He laughed, but did not delay, and continued: "Second, I just want to ask the little guy if you were injured when you were kidnapped."
This statement made Xiao Chu a little surprised. I didn't expect that this old man would care about people. For a moment, Xiao Chu was a little uncomfortable.
"Grandpa, Chu'er has nothing to do. Speaking of this, Chu'er also wants to thank her for helping her." Xiao Chu said with gratitude on his face.
Xiao Tai waved his hand. Even if the traitors of the Three Gods Sects are not hijacking Xiao Chu today, he will go to save people without hesitation, not to mention that the person being kidnapped is his grandson, so he should do his best.
Xiao Chu saw Xiao Tai's indifferent expression and smiled. They were both grandparents and grandchildren, so they didn't have to be too polite, but Xiao Tai's first two things were not too important, and it was not worth the third update in the middle of the night.
I brought it here, so, Xiao Tai's main purpose in finding himself today must be the third thing.
According to Xiao Chu's guess, what Xiao Tai said to him should be very important, otherwise he would not have asked General Xiao Wu to bring him here in the middle of the night.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chu didn't hesitate. He stared at Xiao Tai with bright black eyes, and then asked, "Grandpa, I think you came to me today, mainly for the third thing, right?"
After Xiao Chu finished speaking, his eyes were on Xiao Tai and he kept looking back and forth, because he thought for a long time but couldn't figure out why Xiao Tai called him to come so late.
After hearing Xiao Chu's words, Xiao Tai immediately laughed and said, "Little clever ghost, how do you grow your little head? Why are you so smart?"
