There is a Wangfu wife at home

Chapter 495 Happy Event (Part Two)
Ximenfei lost the game and was convinced by the loss.

After everyone dispersed, he came to find Zhao Cong alone.

Zhao Cong was still awake at the moment, sitting under the lamp, surrounded by the fire, chatting with the tiger Hu An.

These two people will follow into Lin'an City in the future, so Li Jiaoniang arranged for them to live with Zhao Cong to get familiar with each other.

Simon flew into the room.

Huzi snorted, "Isn't this Mr. Ximen? You still want to compete?"

Ximen Fei looked slightly embarrassed.

Which family's hairy kid is rude, and only exposes people's courage?
He coughed unnaturally, "I'm going to talk to my young master about something alone, you two should avoid it first."

He flung down his sleeves and looked up proudly.

The combined age of the three children here is about the same as his age.

He is qualified to rely on the old to sell the old.

"Oh, it's about things." Hu Zi pulled Juan, "Come on, let's take a walk outside, I haven't seen enough of Zhuangzi yet."

"I'll take you for a walk." Juan nodded, and walked out of the yard with Huzi.

This is a small courtyard with five connecting rooms, very quiet.

The two walked to the gate of the courtyard and met Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng who had come back from a walk outside.

The two of them lived in the two rooms on the east side and the two rooms on the west side, where Zhao Cong and Hu Zi Hu An lived.

The lobby room in the middle is the place where everyone ate together just now, and it is usually used for receiving guests.

"It's so late, where are you going?" Li Jiaoniang asked with a smile.

Hu An smiled and said, "Mr. Ximen came and said he wanted to talk to Xiao Cong'er alone, so he kicked us out."

Luo Cheng was surprised, "Speaking alone? What did you say?"

Huzi shook his head, "I don't know." He blinked and whispered, "Shall I eavesdrop?"

Luo Cheng said with a sullen face, "No, I'm just talking casually."

Li Jiaoniang also said in a deep voice, "Huzi, in the future you will go to Lin'an with little Cong'er, and you must not do anything about eavesdropping on Cong'er! You must not spread the matter about Cong'er. You have to treat him as yourself. If your eyes are broken, you will have no direction."

Hu Zi looked serious, nodded and said, "Understood, I will write it down."

Li Jiaoniang said to Hu An again, "Ju An, you are the same, you and Hu Zi are Xiao Cong'er's right-hand man, you three are one body."

"Well, I've made a note, Master." Juan replied.

Luo Cheng waved at them, "Go, it's rare to come to the village, and Juan will take the tiger to play."

"Good."

The two teenagers ran away happily.

The little lantern flickered in his hand, and ran away in the blink of an eye.

Li Jiaoniang shook her head amusedly, and walked into the courtyard with Luo Cheng.

She only glanced at the west room, and went into their east room with Luo Cheng without eavesdropping.

Ximen Fei is good at martial arts, and his hearing is stronger than ordinary people.

Eavesdropping?

Simon Fei will find out soon.

He came to Zhao Cong at night, and he must have said something that he didn't want the third person to know.

He wanted face, so Li Jiaoniang didn't let everyone disturb him, and let him discuss the matter with Zhao Cong in private.

Anyway, Ximen Fei can't beat Zhao Cong, Li Jiaoniang is not worried that Zhao Cong will suffer.

In the west room, the last room is Zhao Cong's bedroom.

Zhao Cong picked up the teapot, picked up an empty cup and poured tea.

When he was in the palace before, all he ate was ordered tea, but when he came to the medical hall, Li Jiaoniang was busy, and Chun Ya was also busy, so when it took time to order tea, he only ate brewed tea.

Throw the tea into the teapot, wash it with boiling water, and then pour it into slightly cooler boiling water.

The brewed tea also has a special taste.

"Sir, have tea." Zhao Cong pushed the teacup over.

Ximen Fei waved his hand, "I don't drink tea, I came here to ask His Highness something."

At the moment there were only two of them, and Ximen Fei spoke honorifics.

Zhao Cong smiled slightly, "Sir, please tell me."

Ximen Fei asked, "Who taught His Highness Kung Fu and archery?"

Zhao Cong suddenly realized that he meant this.

If you want to make friends with people, you have to talk to each other, and the one who can talk quickly is to tell the secret.

Anyway, his knowledge of martial arts will be made public sooner or later.

Zhao Cong said, "It's Master Wuchen, the old abbot of Yongji Temple on the outskirts of Lin'an City. I was in poor health when I was young. In order to make me live longer, my mother worshiped Master Yongji as his teacher and became his registered disciple. Seek the protection of the Buddha."

"..."

"Afterwards, I would go to stay for a few days every year, and he taught me some martial arts to keep me fit. As for the archery, he taught me to practice patience because I was playful and couldn't sit still for a long time. of."

Ximen Fei patted his thigh, and said with a smile, "Oh, after all, it turns out that I still have some relationship with His Highness."

Zhao Cong didn't understand, and asked, "Mr. Ximen, what do you mean?"

Ximen Fei smiled and said, "When I was young, I lived in Yongji Temple with my family, and I was taught by Master Wuchen, which made my archery improve by leaps and bounds. However, I only stayed for three months , I left Lin'an and went to Jinzhou in the North."

Zhao Cong smiled and said, "I see."

Ximen Fei laughed, "From this point of view, I am not ashamed at all to lose to Your Highness. Your Highness is a serious disciple of Master Wuchen, and I am just a spectator, only learning the surface."

Speaking of the former master being the same person, the distance between Ximen Fei and Zhao Cong became even closer.

Ximen Fei admired Zhao Cong even more.

Young and mature, kind-hearted, courageous and resourceful, he is worth following.

The two drank tea, and the more they talked, the more energetic they became.

Huzi and Juan, after walking around the village, they were still talking.

It wasn't until the watchman on the village knocked on the stick for the third watch that Ximen Fei laughed and walked out of Zhao Cong's room, carrying the lantern and left.

Huzi and Juan were at the gate of the courtyard, smiling to see him off, "Mr. Ximen, let's go."

This person is gone, so sleepy.

Ximen Fei stopped in front of the two of them.

He squinted and stared at the faces of the two, "Are you all followers of His Highness?"

Huzi and Juan nodded together, "That's right."

Ximen raised his eyebrows, "It's a good life to serve His Highness, there must be no mistakes."

Hu Zixin said, isn't this nonsense?Xiao Cong'er was his savior, without Xiao Cong'er, he would have been drowned long ago.

"Naturally." Hu Zi said.

Juan also said, "He is the adopted son of my master and wife, so of course I have to take care of him."

"Well, very good." Ximen Fei nodded in satisfaction and walked away.

When he walked away, Juan shrugged and said, "Weird."

Huzi blinked, "Juan, what kind of weirdo?"

"I said, Mr. Simon, when we first met him, he hated us. Xiao Cong'er knocked him to the ground, and his temper immediately changed again. I always looked down on Xiao Cong'er before, because Xiao Cong'er lost his memory Well. But Xiao Cong'er won the arrow competition with him, and he was kind to Xiao Cong'er again, isn't this a weirdo, what is it?"

Huzi has seen many things, and understands why Ximen Fei changed.

He smiled and said, "Mr. Ximen, he was convinced by Xiao Cong'er. Those who practice martial arts admire those who are stronger than themselves."

Juan suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

Huzi yawned and walked into the house, "I'm so sleepy, I'm asleep."

Juan suddenly remembered something, and slapped his thigh in shock, "Sleep and sleep, I have to get up early to take Mei Niangzi to the market at Mao tomorrow."

Huzi asked, "Wake up so early, what are you doing? It's not yet dawn."

Hu An glanced at Li Jiaoniang's east wing, and said in a low voice, "Tomorrow is my wife's happy day, Xiao Cong'er told us to prepare, shhh, don't tell me, he wants to surprise my wife."

Huzi blinked, "Oh? What kind of happy event?"

"I don't know, let's go, I fell asleep, I'm so sleepy." Juan yawned again.

……

In a blink of an eye it was the next day.

This day is the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, and it is almost the new year.

In Zhuangzi, many people get up early.

Because Luo Cheng ordered to go down, there will be a small New Year's Eve dinner in the village at noon today.

29 He, Li Jiaoniang, and Zhao Cong and his party had to leave Zhuangshang, go to Lin'an, and eat New Year's dinner ahead of schedule today.

There are many people in the village, and there are many meals, so we have to prepare early.

The person in charge of chopping firewood carried a load early in the morning and went to the barren hills outside the village to pick up firewood.

The barren hills have been reclaimed for less than half, and the miscellaneous trees on the hills have been cut down and transported to the foot of the hills, where they are piled up to dry in the sun, and they can be picked up when needed.

Seven or eight people, against the hazy morning mist, talked and laughed and went to carry firewood.

In the kitchen, the early riser has started to boil water for breakfast.

Ximei, who was sleeping in the hut next to the kitchen, took a basket and went out after hastily washing up.

A cook who was sweeping the floor at the door asked, "Where are you going this early in the morning? Don't you cook?"

Ximei is going to do an errand arranged by Zhao Cong, and there is a reward for her.

She didn't turn her head and said, "Young master told me to go shopping, I have to hurry."

The wind was blowing under his feet, and he quickly walked away.

"Hey, she must have gotten a reward. Look how beautiful she is." A cook curled her lips.

The other cook smiled and said, "Don't be jealous, Mr. Luo's family said yesterday that there will be red envelopes for the New Year's dinner at noon today, so hurry up and work quickly."

"That's right, that's right, I forgot about it. Mrs. Mei ran away and didn't help the kitchen. We don't give her any red envelopes in the kitchen."

"Of course it doesn't matter, she doesn't do anything, how can she have a share?"

A few people were talking and laughing, and their hands and feet got busy quickly.

Someone built a stove, and someone poured water into a large pot to boil water.

The breakfast in the morning is noodle soup and buns.

……

When Ximei reached Zhuangzi's door, Juan's carriage also arrived.

"Hurry up, it's three o'clock." Juan urged.

"Why don't you hurry up? Hairy boy." Ximei rolled her eyes and climbed into the carriage, "Didn't you just come?"

Before Ximei sat down, Juan drove the carriage out, and Ximei almost fell into the carriage.

She rolled up her sleeves and said loudly, "Do you know how to get to the market?"

Juan hummed, "I grew up near here, why don't I know? Just follow along."

Five miles away, there is a village fair.

Juan was familiar with the road, and it was early in the morning to drive, and there were no people on the road. After half an hour, they arrived at the market.

Ximei remembered Zhao Cong's instructions, and wanted to buy wedding candles, happy fruits, red window paper, bright red bed sheets and happy quilts...

She wondered in her heart, isn't this something used for wedding candles in the bridal chamber?
Li Jiaoniang just had a small birthday banquet, why did she dress up like a wedding?
