Under the guidance of Xu Mubai, he passed by the elegant courtyard where he drank tea and gambled that day. Hu Xiaotian looked at the ground. The blood stains on the ground had long been cleaned up, as if nothing had happened. There was a row of bamboos in front, and from the path in the bamboo forest
Walking in, looking around, the blue color is pleasing to the eye. As you walk, you can feel the breeze, the bamboo shadows are whirling, dancing in the wind, and the sound of rustling is endless. In such a hot weather, people feel indescribable and happy.
I don’t admit that the Xu family still has considerable taste.
Xu Mubai quietly looked at his cousin. Although Hu Xiaotian changed his clothes today, he still looked nondescript. He wore a short-sleeved shirt and large trousers, with his arms exposed, a pair of long bare legs, and a pair of clogs on his feet. Xu Mubai
I laughed secretly in my heart. This cousin paid too little attention to his appearance. No one except the workers at the port would dress like this.
Hu Xiaotian has always gone his own way, as long as he is comfortable. He doesn't care about other people's feelings. He was asked to wear a robe on a hot day, and prickly heat broke out all over his body.
Walking along this bamboo forest path to the end, your eyes suddenly opened up, and there was a green and clear pond in front of you. The pond was full of green lotuses, and the pink lotus flowers were in full bloom. From time to time, dragonflies fluttered their wings and touched the water, and there was a streak of nine.
The Qu Chang Bridge leads to the water pavilion in the center of the pond. The place where they entertained Hu Xiaotian is in the water pavilion.
Standing on the long bridge were more than a dozen beautiful girls, all of whom greeted Hu Xiaotian with smiles.
Hu Xiaotian deliberately said to Xu Mubai: "Cousin, there are many beauties sold in the Golden Cave."
Xu Mubai smiled and said: "You are not a top-notch beauty, but you are not a top-notch beauty, but most of the women here are clean. Whichever one my cousin likes, I will send it to the ship to serve you."
Hu Xiaotian chuckled and thought to himself that this cousin was not very good at talking. He said he was vulgar at first, but he was so generous later. If I asked for it, wouldn't it mean that I have low taste?
Everyone entered the water pavilion. Two beauties stood in front of the door. Delicious dishes were already placed on the Eight Immortals table in the water pavilion. Hu Xiaotian thought that Xu Fengwu was here, but he didn't expect that he was not there. Feeling a little strange in his heart, he asked
Xu Mubai asked: "Where is the owner of this place?"
Xu Mubai smiled and said, "You mean Uncle Six, he is busy making arrangements." He winked at the maid aside and asked her to invite Xu Fengwu over.
It didn't take long for Xu Fengwu to appear in the waterside pavilion. After Xu Fengwu learned about Hu Xiaotian's true identity, she was quite surprised. Although there was no contact between the Jinling Xu family and Hu Xiaotian, the Xu family had been paying attention to them all these years.
They all see Hu Xiaotian's every move and his achievements over the years. Although Mrs. Xu has not publicly commented on her grandson, no one can deny that Hu Xiaotian is the most accomplished among the younger generation of the Xu family.
His current reputation has even surpassed that of Hu Buwei, the Minister of Household Affairs. Of course, Xu Fengwu would not dare to offend such a person. Although he has a high seniority in the Xu family, unfortunately he is not directly related, and his status is higher than that of Xu Mubai.
Even worse.
Xu Fengwu's expression looked a little awkward. According to his seniority, Hu Xiaotian should call him cousin, but after the unpleasantness between them, I was afraid that Hu Xiaotian would hold a grudge in his heart, so he would choose to avoid it just now, if Hu Xiaotian hadn't taken the initiative
When it comes to his matters, Xu Fengwu will avoid seeing her at noon today.
After all, Hu Xiaotian is a person who can afford to let go. What he really dislikes is Mrs. Xu, but he will not turn his back on other members of the Xu family. Moreover, the more resentment he has in his heart. The more he wants to hide his resentment, one day
Today, he wants to let Mrs. Xu know that no matter what one does, there is a price.
Without waiting for Xu Mubai's introduction, Hu Xiaotian stood up on his own initiative and said with a smile: "This must be my cousin. The Dragon King Temple was really flooded today. The whole family doesn't know each other. I hope you don't take offense if you offend me."
Xu Fengwu was quite flattered. When she saw Hu Xiaotian taking the initiative to say hello to her, she immediately smiled and said: "Xiaotian! Haha. It's been so hard for you to hide it from me. Do you know that I have been hiding from you all these years?"
We are all proud of you! No! Our entire Xu family is proud of you!"
Hu Xiaotian thought it was strange, but in fact it was nothing more than that sentence: rich people live in the mountains and have distant relatives, while poor people live in the bustling city. He has long been accustomed to the cold and warm people and the cold world. Not to mention the Jinling Xu family, even his own father.
The human heart is the hardest thing to predict in the world. However, Hu Xiaotian has nothing to regret. Apart from his seven-foot body, he can't think of any other connection between himself and the Jinling Xu family. If he insists on saying that there is, it is because
He wanted to seek justice from the Jinling Xu family for his mother's injustice, and ask for it!
Hu Xiaotian smiled with a knife hidden in his face and pulled Xu Mubai to sit down.
Zhao Wusheng saw that their family was happy and happy, and it felt like they were reunited after a long separation. However, he also understood that Hu Xiaotian was just pretending. The Xu family's indifference to the Hu family back then was already known to the world. Now he saw that Hu Xiaotian was standing out and dominating.
On the one hand, they began to recognize this relative again, and even Zhao Wusheng looked down on the Xu family, but after all, it was Hu Xiaotian's family matter, and it was not convenient for him to interfere. He just drank and ate in silence. By the way, the food and wine were really good.
After three rounds of drinking, Xu Fengwu had completely relaxed. He smiled and said to Hu Xiaotian: "Xiaotian, I always thought that you would be unable to escape in Yongjiang. I didn't expect that you would come all the way to Nanjin Island without knowing where you were.
Why?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "It's nothing."
Xu Mubai said: "If I'm not wrong, my cousin should be going to Tianxiang Kingdom to apply for a prince-in-law when he comes here this time, right?"
When Hu Xiaotian saw that he had guessed it, he no longer concealed it. He nodded and said, "I really can't hide anything from my cousin." He thought to himself that this cousin is actually very shrewd.
Xu Mubai smiled and said: "This is not surprising. Recently, all the young heroes in the world are going to Tianxiang Kingdom. Not to mention those who go to Tianxiang Kingdom by land, those who go to Tianxiang Kingdom by water will basically pass through Nanjin Island."
Xu Fengwu said: "Isn't that right? Tianxiang Kingdom's recruitment of a consort has been widely spread to the world this time. It is really a sensation. And this time the conditions are very relaxed. As long as the age is above 18 years old and 40 years old
Any hero below can apply."
Xu Mubai smiled calmly and said: "You are wrong if you think the conditions are very generous. In fact, most of them are just foils. The Queen Mother of Tianxiang Kingdom has a good plan. She mobilizes so many people to choose a consort who is most beneficial to her. If the other party
Without considerable strength, she alone would not be able to pass this level."
Xu Fengwu said: "Mu Bai, you are not..."
Xu Mubai glanced at him, and Xu Fengwu realized that she had made a mistake and hurriedly swallowed the rest of the sentence.
However, Hu Xiaotian had already realized some different meanings from his half-sentence. Xu Mubai also noticed the subtle changes in Hu Xiaotian's expression, clinked the wine glasses with Hu Xiaotian and said: "To be honest with my cousin, I also want to go to Tianxiang Kingdom.
."
Hu Xiaotian exclaimed, already guessing that Xu Mubai most likely had the same purpose as him.
Xu Mubai said: "Grandma asked me to join in the fun. Now that I know that my cousin is also going for this matter, I will naturally not compete with my cousin."
Hu Xiaotian chuckled and said: "I also went to watch the excitement, and we happened to go together." But in his heart, he thought to himself, compete with me? Can you compete with me?
Xu Mubai nodded and said: "That's what I meant. We brothers will have someone to talk to on the way to Piaoxiang City together, and we will get to know each other better."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Then come with me in the same boat."
“It’s a deal!”
Hu Xiaotian quietly brought the topic to Mrs. Xu: "By the way, grandma, how is her health now?"
Xu Mubai said: "It's not so good. Since the death of my aunt, the old lady has been seriously ill because of excessive sadness. It took more than half a year before she recovered, but her spirit is not as good as before. Now she is in a separate hospital in Baishawan, Jinling.
I have been recuperating here and never leave the house all day long. Even I rarely see her. I originally agreed to go to her place to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, but she sent me to Tianxiang Kingdom to join in the fun."
Hu Xiaotian sighed: "I don't even remember what she looked like as an old woman."
The meal that day was quite enjoyable. Hu Xiaotian did not want to stay in Nanjin Island for too long. After all, there were too many things waiting for him to do in Tianxiang Kingdom. After lunch, the soldiers from the port came to report that all the supplies on the ship were available.
The equipment was completed and he could leave the port at any time. Hu Xiaotian decided to leave immediately.
Xu Mubai didn't have any objections. After he made preparations, he led four maids to board the ship and go with Hu Xiaotian.
Xu Fengwu made a false offer to stay. Of course, he didn't want Hu Xiaotian to stay. This junior was not that easy to deal with. After clarifying this relationship, he never dared to mention Xiaorou's matter. As for that
The 60,000 taels of silver note was just a meeting gift. Not only that, he also sent some fresh fruits and wine to the ship. He spent a lot of money and didn't care about it anymore.
After eight days of traveling south from Nanjin Island, they arrived at Jinsha, the largest port in Tianxiang Kingdom. The journey on the sea for these few days was sunny and smooth. Hu Xiaotian and Xu Mubai also had a good conversation.
Hu Xiaotian was impressed by his views on many things. This direct grandson of the Xu family in Jinling was very extraordinary.
On the surface, Xu Mubai behaves in a gentle and gentle manner, and seems to have little experience in the world, but in fact, he is very meticulous in his work. Most of what he and Hu Xiaotian talk about are unimportant things. Once the inside story of the Xu family is involved, he will cleverly bypass it and talk about it from his mouth.
It was difficult to find out the information they wanted, so they spent most of their time talking about romance. Both of them were smart people, and each could see that the other was wary of them.
Xiaorou's hand has recovered ideally. Judging from the current progress, the hand should be saved. After complete recovery, the function should not be affected. It is difficult to tell that it has been cut off with a knife. Hu Xiaotian's miraculous medical skills
Everyone was amazed. After all, no one has ever seen a hand that can be reattached after being cut off. (~^~)
