Xiao Chu raised his head and cast his gaze on Xiao Tai. He was a little surprised when he heard Xiao Tai suddenly ask such a sentence. However, before Xiao Chu could say anything, Xiao Changan came up from behind and replied, "Report to An Guo."
Your Excellency, my family has lived in Zhengjia Village, Dingyuan County for many generations. I am grateful to you for saving me now, but I have nothing to repay you for. I will repay your kindness by working as a cow or a horse in the next life."
Xiao Changan's tone was respectful, and his eyes looking at Xiao Tai were filled with gratitude.
Xiao Tai did not speak, but just stared at Xiao Chu. He found that every time he looked at this kid, he would have an inexplicable feeling, like a call originating from his blood and soul.
After a moment of astonishment, Xu Yannian hurriedly said to the crowd, "Your Excellency, you have been working hard all the way, please come in quickly."
After saying this, Xu Yannian made a gesture of invitation, and Xiao Tai was not polite to him. The two had known each other for many years and had a deep understanding of each other, so some of the false courtesy could be avoided.
Xiao Tai and the Governor walked into the inner hall, but in his mind he kept thinking about the little guy Xiao Chu, trying to figure out where this weird feeling came from, but no matter how he thought about it,
He had no clue, which made him a little strange.
Xiao Chu, on the other hand, followed Liu silently. He didn't want Xiao Tai to see any clues now. What if the old man was really pedantic and sent himself in front of the emperor?
At that time, I was at a huge loss.
The prefect Lu Qingzhi had already ordered his servants to prepare the meals. After all, in addition to his status as a duke, Xiao Tai was also an imperial envoy. Now he had broken into a den of thieves and rescued Xiao Chu. He owed him a big favor.
.You know, this was originally a matter for me, the prefect of Chongming Prefecture.
At the dinner table, Xiao Tai saw the Xiao family sitting in a corner. Mrs. Liu was taking out the cake in her arms for Xiao Chu to eat, and then hurriedly said to the three of them, "You three, let's eat together!"
When Xiao Changan heard Xiao Tai's invitation, he felt surprised. You must know that the person in front of him was An Guogong, a dignified first-class official. Even the prefect Lu Qingzhi and the county magistrate Chen Yuannian could only sit with him. He was just a commoner, so how could he be there?
What a blessing it is to sit at the same table with such a distinguished person?
Xiao Changan quickly shook his head and said to Xiao Tai's luggage, "Report...report to the Duke, the common people dare not, I...we are not hungry yet!"
When other people in the audience heard Xiao Tai's words, they were also surprised. You must know that the people at the table are all imperial officials. Even Chen Yuannian, as the magistrate of a county, can only sit at the bottom. The three of them are just
How can a commoner have the right to sit at the same table with others?
This? It’s inconsistent with etiquette!
Xu Yannian, who was sitting next to Xiao Tai, looked understanding. He had known Xiao Tai for many years and had always known that although Xiao Tai was a first-class official in the imperial court, he was approachable and had no official airs at all. Now he saw their family of three.
It was pitiful. It was reasonable to invite them to the table. He didn't care about this matter.
Lu Qingzhi and Chen Yuannian were a little confused. Although they had no intention of discriminating against the Xiao family, it seemed a bit illegal to invite the three of them to the table, right? Besides, even if you invited them, would the three of them dare?
It’s not guaranteed to be served yet!
Xiao Tai didn't care. Before he and Gaozu conquered the world, he was just a carpenter. If he hadn't met Gaozu, he would be the same as them now, so Xiao Tai didn't have any discrimination against them, even if he was now a carpenter.
Although he is a high-ranking official in the imperial court, he has never forgotten his roots.
Xiao Changan was a little surprised, and even his legs began to tremble, and he refused again and again, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, we are really not... not hungry."
Seeing Xiao Changan's trembling look, Xiao Tai still didn't know the reason. Hearing Xiao Changan say that he was not hungry, he couldn't help but feel annoyed, "Fart, I have been waiting for a day, how can I not be hungry? Now I order your family
When three people come to the table to eat, anyone who disobeys the order will be beheaded!"
Xiao Changan felt frightened when he heard Duke An's slightly angry words. For fear of offending the Duke, he quickly took Liu and Xiao Chu to sit on the table.
"Obey...obey!"
Xiao Changan was so frightened that he didn't dare to look at Xiao Tai at all. He just sat uneasily in his seat and didn't say a word for a long time.
"Hurry up and eat. If you're not full, I'll give you fifty bucks."
Xiao Tai spoke again, so frightened that Xiao Changan quickly picked up the bowl in front of him and started gobbling it up, regardless of what kind of food he had in his mouth.
Xiao Chu knew what Xiao Tai meant when he saw his actions. He also understood that Xiao Tai had good intentions, but he smiled in his heart.
Old man, although you have good intentions, your method is too much!
As the saying goes: When a scholar meets a soldier, there is no reason to explain. That's what I want to say. Xiao Chu sighed in his heart when he saw Xiao Changan panicking and devouring food.
Xiao Chu, on the other hand, was happy and at ease. Anyway, if he survived the catastrophe, he would be lucky, and he even had a large table of good food to entertain him. Then Xiao Chu secretly glanced at the four adults on the table, hey, who cares if he is
Treat yourself, just eat.
Then Xiao Chu was rude and said, "If I don't take advantage of the free meals, I will be sorry to the Creator."
Xu Yannian, who was sitting on the throne, was quite surprised when he saw Xiao Chu's calm and composed look. Then looking at Xiao Changan's panic-stricken look, there was a sharp contrast between the father and son. This kid,
How can he be so calm when facing himself and others? You know, he gasped for breath and the whole Chongming Mansion trembled, but he was ignored by this child?
Could it be that this kid doesn't know the identity of himself and others?
Lu Qingzhi, who was a guest, was even more surprised. This kid, didn't he know who the person in front of him was? He was just immersed in picking up food. Didn't he want to live? The two people in front of him, even if they arrived in the capital, no one would dare to ignore them.
Bar?
Although Chen Yuannian on the side was a little surprised, he was much better than Lu Qingzhi. After all, he had seen all kinds of unexpected performances of this little guy. He remembered how this kid faced dozens of people at the literary exchange meeting.
They all looked calm and calm. This little guy will definitely have a great future.
Chen Yuannian glanced in the direction of An Guogong from time to time. When he saw Xiao Tai's admiring look towards Xiao Chu, he couldn't help but feel a surge in his heart. What was An Guogong's status in Daxia Kingdom? Xiao Chu could get his admiration.
In the future, if you become an official, you will definitely have a smooth journey and a smooth career.
Alas, the Xiao family is so lucky to have taught such outstanding children.
During the dinner, Governor Xu Yannian suddenly said, "Mr. Chen, I heard you say that this little guy Xiao Chu is actually a child prodigy?"
Chen Yuannian nodded, quite proud. Although he was not his son, this child prodigy came from his own Dingyuan County, which was something that could bring him glory.
Xiao Tai, who was picking up vegetables, was surprised when he heard Xu Yannian's words, prodigy? Then Xiao Tai turned his eyes to Xiao Chu and looked back and forth. This kid who had been silent all this time was actually a prodigy?
Lu Qingzhi was also a little curious, and then said: "Since both adults are interested, why don't we come up with a question to test him?"
When Xiao Chu heard this, he felt that his face turned green instantly. Damn old man, can you give me some good ideas? Just eat and you will get a bad grade in the exam?
If you don’t want to take the exam, I will definitely not take the exam.
