Xie Ming

Chapter 605: Just in Time

The imperial carriage arrived, and Lady Xing from Fengyang came with her son.

Seeing that it was Xiao Yu who was welcoming guests at the gate of his mansion, Xing pulled the half-grown child by the hand and walked over to pay her respects.

Xiao didn't understand what the man meant, so he just kept on being polite and said he couldn't handle the talk.

Upon hearing this, Xing's eyes were as charming as silk, and she didn't seem restrained at all, and she kept flattering him.

"Haha, Duke, don't worry. Everything is fine in Fengyang. Nothing serious has happened."

"It's just that you are so polite that I feel embarrassed to say anything."

As she spoke, Xing raised her eyes and looked deeply at Xiao Lang, with alluring love lingering in her.

Seeing that it was Xiao who did not respond, he hurriedly continued speaking.

"Actually, this time, I also wanted to bring my young son to meet you."

"It was only with the Duke's wishes that the body of his father Gao Jie was safely sent back to Fengyang for burial."

"This is the first feeling."

"Secondly, my mother and I are not forced to live on the streets, and we can still manage military affairs."

"This is also due to the kindness of the Duke."

"You are so kind as to let bygones be bygones and let this child off the hook."

"If I don't know how to repay my kindness and care about my successors, wouldn't that make me an ungrateful person?!"

Mrs. Xing's words were flattering and her tone was high-sounding, but there was no substance to them.

Listen, and look at the woman who came here. She is dressed in bright and exquisite clothes. I wonder what she must have carefully planned.

So, Xiao Jingchuan was on guard and didn't want to dwell on it any further.

"Haha, ma'am, what are you talking about?"

"General Gao was a general who defeated the enemy on the battlefield and made great contributions to the country."

"At that time, I was always in charge of the Shandong military affairs, and I was trying to gain some credit and honor for them, which was only natural."

"As for the wife and children, the descendants of the martyrs' meritorious service should also be cared for."

"Haha, this child, maybe six or seven years old?"

"She looks so cute and well-behaved. Her eyes and eyebrows are really as beautiful as her wife."

Xiao Lang had no choice but to strike up a conversation. In order to avoid an ambiguous atmosphere, he just caught the child and used him to talk about the matter.

"Uh, eight years younger."

"This child is weak and his bones are not strong."

"From now on, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to survive in the army."

"Hey, let's take it one step at a time."

Xing turned around with a complicated look in her eyes.

Seeing Xiao's expression, he didn't want to continue the conversation here, so he turned the topic to the wedding banquet from his son.

"Hehe, call, call Jingzhong?"

"Xiao Jingzhong, are you hungry?"

"Madam, the banquet is ready. If you have nothing else to do, you can go in first with the children."

"Changting?!" As he spoke, he turned his head and called Changting to come closer.

"You lead the lady and the child in."

"Go inside and get some food for the kids in the kitchenette."

"Don't say you're hungry."

Xiao Jingchuan's words were nice, but they were just meant to get rid of him.

Who is Xing? She is a worldly-wise person, so how could she not know what Xiao Lang is scheming about?
Then the woman gave him a meaningful glance with a hint of anger in her eyes, but given the situation, there was no rush to ask for more words.

He obeyed the order and followed Xiao's wishes, then followed Changting into the mansion first.

After she left, former director Xiao Jingchuan breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, it was a public place with many people around, and it was a prominent wedding day for me, so it was not appropriate to argue with a widow.

If you let others watch, it won't sound good, and you can't avoid being gossiped about behind your back, and who knows how they will frame it.

"Hey!"

"Still looking?"

"You shouldn't flirt with others today, right?"

Just when Xiao Zigang was about to relax his mind, suddenly, someone came from behind and patted him on the shoulder, speaking some words.

This sudden move frightened Xiao Lang so much that he shuddered all over. He shrank his neck and looked back with a look of horror on his face.

But when he looked back in shock, he saw that it was Qiu Zhizhong who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and the ghost was approaching.

Xiao was speechless at such a joke.

He turned around and kicked him.

"Hey, you f**k!"

"Scare me to death!"

"I called you here early in the morning, why did you just show up now?!" "It's really getting harder and harder to invite Feiyu nowadays."

"Tell me, maybe you've been in Nanjing for too long and your hands and feet aren't as flexible as before."

"Come, let Lao Xiao pick it up for you!"

As he said this, Xiao Lang was afraid that his words were used to ridicule his recent feelings, so he took the initiative to attack and made fun of him first.

Being so confused by the groom, Zhizhong was quickly defeated and even begged for mercy.

"Okay, okay, okay."

"I'm afraid of you."

"Let's be quiet for a while, ha, let's be quiet for a while."

As soon as his legs and feet stopped making a fuss, his mouth started to pester him again and added more seasonings.

"Oh, good guy, you are really good. I feel really good these days."

"It seems like he's exerted all his energy to the top of his head!"

"Yeah, not bad, this figure is a little fatter than before."

"How is it? Can you still mount the horse and draw the bow?" Zhizhong retorted at the right time.

Hearing this mocking remark, Xiao stopped and started to laugh at himself.

"Haha, well, just laugh at me."

"To be honest, I just received news from the north."

"Chang Ting said that the group of people in the team also prepared gifts for me."

"Let's not talk about anything else. Do you know what Brother Yuan Ping sent us?"

Xiao Ping went to chat and recall what had happened before.

"Huh? What?" Zhizhong asked.

"Horsewhip." Xiao Wu Nai replied with a wry smile.

Upon hearing this, Zhizhong immediately looked up and laughed three times.

"Hahahahaha, okay, okay, this is great."

"Then Brother Yuan, you are worried that you will not come back for a long time and will not want to return to your homeland, right?! Hahaha" Zhizhong laughed.

"Haha, who said it wasn't?"

"Okay, okay."

"Hey, you came here this evening. Did you prepare a gift for us?"

"Where is it? Let me see."

"I'm telling you, I don't have any gifts today, but I won't let you in!"

"If you know what's best for you, you'd better not show up in front of me empty-handed."

Xiao and Qiu were not serious for long. At a crossroads, Xiao Lang came to joke again.

"Humph!"

"What's the big gift? I don't have the time or money to do it."

"Here, two packs of snacks to celebrate the New Year."

"That's all. Whether you want it or not, I'm determined to get in." Zhizhong sarcastically retorted.

"kindness?"
