Chapter 1003 I always feel that things are not that simple
Three days later, Chang Bingkun, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, led a number of people to Canglingdu. Next, they would head towards Yaozhou by water to deal with the gold mine affairs in Lintai Mountain.
That is, when it was approaching noon that day, Chai Yan was also preparing to go to Meng Ruhu's house for a banquet.
Three days ago, Meng Ruhu sent an invitation to Chai Yan. Chai Yan originally didn't want to go, but after thinking about it he agreed. After all, he had nothing to do at home. It would be fine to go to Meng Ruhu's house for a banquet.
I have given him face, and the warm hospitality he has given me and everyone during this time is not in vain.
After getting dressed, Chai Yan came out of the house and went to the front yard to see that Cheng Jiu, Guan Maochun and Yu Tie were already waiting here.
"My lord." "My lord!"
Seeing Chai Yan come out, Cheng Jiu and the others immediately saluted him with their hands raised.
Chai Yan took a look at the clothes of Cheng Jiu and the others, and couldn't help but nodded, saying with satisfaction: "Well, they are all dressed well today, not bad!"
Guan Maochun smiled and said: "Sir, the fourth brother asked someone to customize these for us."
Chai Yan looked at Cheng Jiu and asked, "How much money did you spend? I'll pay for it."
"No need, sir." Cheng Jiu quickly shook his head and said, "Last time, there was still a lot of silver given to us by sir. This is only a few dollars."
Chai Yan then joked: "Hey, you are so rich, Xiaojiu!"
After saying that, the four of them laughed one after another.
At this time, a servant of the Meng family came to the door. After bowing respectfully, he said, "Excuse me, Mr. Chai, can you leave now?"
Chai Yan looked up at the sun and found that it was almost noon, so he said, "Okay, let's go."
With that said, Chai Yan took the lead and walked out, with Cheng Jiu and the others following closely behind.
"Wait a moment!"
Just when he was about to go out, Hang Baiqiu's voice came from inside the house.
Chai Yan and the others looked back when they heard the sound, and their eyes suddenly lit up.
Hang Baiqiu walked slowly from the verandah. Today was different from usual. She was wearing a white outfit. She walked neatly and neatly, without any sense of sloppiness.
Hang Baiqiu also held a folding fan in her hand. She knew without asking that it should be the one Chai Yan picked for her that day.
"You guys, why didn't you call me when you set off?"
While talking, Hang Baiqiu had already come out of the verandah and stepped into the vestibule.
Chai Yan turned around and said, "Sir Hang, didn't you say you wouldn't go that day? Why did you change your mind again?"
At that time, Hang Baiqiu indeed said he would not go. Cheng Jiu and Guan Maochun were present and heard it.
Hang Baiqiu fiddled with the folding fan, came closer and said, "You guys have all gone out, leaving me alone at home, isn't it boring?"
"Oh, it turns out it's because I'm bored..." Chai Yan lowered his head, nodded seriously, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Then you can go shopping..."
Hang Baiqiu rolled his eyes and frowned: "Why should I go shopping alone? Besides, there are only two streets in Hukou Town. I've long been tired of shopping, okay?"
Chai Yan couldn't help but laugh, shook his head slightly and said, "You women just like to be duplicitous. If you want to go, just say you want to go. You have to find some lame excuses."
These words made Cheng Jiu and Guan Maochun immediately turn their faces away. Their shoulders were shaking slightly, and they were probably snickering.
"Who...who wants to go!"
Hang Baiqiu suddenly lost his temper and looked a little angry.
Chai Yan quickly patted Cheng Jiu, pursed his lips and glared, "You three get out first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Jiu called Guan Maochun and Yu Tie out.
Hang Baiqiu stood in front of the door with a frown and said angrily: "If you don't want to go, I won't go. It's like no one wants to go!"
After that, Hang Baiqiu was about to return to his yard.
Chai Yan hurriedly ran forward to stop him, and apologized with a smile on his face: "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I was just talking nonsense, so please don't take it to your heart..."
Seeing Chai Yan like this, Hang Baiqiu felt a little relieved and said, "Do you think I really want to go? I'm worried that Meng Ruhu has no good intentions and will stumble and set a trap for you again!"
"Yes, yes, sir, you are right, that Meng Ruhu must not be holding anything back. It would be embarrassing if he fainted!" Chai Yan agreed with an exaggerated expression.
"Pfft..." Hang Baiqiu couldn't help but laugh: "You are too disgusting! Haha..."
"Hehehe..." Chai Yan also laughed.
After he stopped laughing, Hang Baiqiu's expression returned to seriousness again. He waved his fan and said, "It's time to go!"
Soon, Chai Yan and Hang Baiqiu walked out of the house.
There were two carriages parked outside the door, specially arranged by the Meng family. The front one was for Chai Yan and Hang Baiqiu, and the rear one was for Cheng Jiu, Guan Maochun and Yu Tie.
After everyone got on the car, the coachman led the carriage and started moving.
In the carriage behind them, Cheng Jiu and Guan Maochun were talking and laughing, nothing unusual.
On the other hand, Yu Tie felt a little uncomfortable. After sitting for a while, he changed his posture and angle, frowning and shaking his head.
When Guan Maochun found out, he asked: "Second brother, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Yu Tie shook his head and said "ah" twice in reply.
"You're not feeling uncomfortable, so why do you look so uncomfortable?" Guan Maochun asked.
"Ahh...Uh oh ah..."
After hearing this, Yu Tie gave a long answer, but neither Guan Maochun nor Cheng Jiu understood what it meant.
Finally, after Yu Tie made gestures and gestures together, Cheng Jiu came to his senses and told Guan Maochun: "Lao Wu, the second brother is saying that he feels uncomfortable riding in the car and wants to take the driver's seat."
"Ah?" Guan Maochun couldn't help but shook his head and said with emotion: "Second brother, it's finally no longer necessary for you to drive the car, why are you still saying... what good things are you talking about..."
Then, the three people burst into hearty laughter in the carriage.
The laughter was so loud that Chai Yan and Hang Baiqiu could hear it even when they were sitting in the car in front.
Hang Baiqiu was a little curious. He glanced behind him through the window on the car door and asked, "What are they laughing at?"
Chai Yan sat back lazily and said calmly: "No matter what they are laughing at, maybe they are talking about some dirty jokes..."
Hang Baiqiu immediately frowned and said with disdain: "You men have these things in your mind all day long..."
Chai Yan just shook his head slightly and did not follow her words.
After a while, Hang Baiqiu said: "Hey, do you think today is really Meng Ruhu's birthday?"
"I don't know. If he said yes, then that's it." Chai Yan looked indifferent.
Chai Yan had already thought about it before he came here. No matter whether the birthday thing was true or an excuse, if he just left after having a meal, he would have given up his face.
Hang Baiqiu patted the palm of his hand gently with the fan bone, shook his head slowly and said: "After thinking about it over and over, I always feel that things are not that simple!"
Chai Yan said calmly: "Why are you thinking so much? Just adapt to circumstances when the time comes. Are you still afraid that they will eat us?"
