Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Chapter 655: Hammering the Father-in-law

The scene before him shocked Du He.

"Mr. Xi bought a hammer to stab his father-in-law. What will happen if this gets out?"

Moreover, Xi Junmai was not able to judge the situation or control his strength appropriately. He actually used all his strength to fight against Cheng Yaojin, a veteran in his fifties.

I don’t know whether he is really simple-minded or intends to show his strength to his father-in-law Cheng Yaojin.

You have to know that Cheng Yaojin is a man who cares a lot about his face. If Xi Junmai embarrasses him, this marriage might really be cancelled.

Just as Du He was complaining in his heart, Cheng Ying on the side also turned his eyes to him with a look of surprise on his face.

"When did Du He become like this?"

"He used to have the air of a dandy, but after just a few years, I didn't expect that he looks so extraordinary!"

Looking at the elegant and handsome Du He, Cheng Ying couldn't believe his eyes for a moment.

In Cheng Ying's memory, Du He was still the arrogant and domineering dandy boy who never looked people in the eye when speaking.

Feeling the gazes from the left, Du He turned her head and looked at Cheng Ying, then smiled and nodded at her.

"Cheng Ying, long time no see."

Cheng Ying said with a complicated tone: "It's been a while since we last met. I didn't expect you to have changed so much."

"He used to be someone who couldn't even recognize a few words, but now he's a world-famous Tang Dynasty poet, and all of his poems are masterpieces that have been handed down from generation to generation!"

Like many other girls in Chang'an, she also liked several poems written by Du He and had memorized them by heart.

However, Du He seldom wrote poetry, so it took a long time for a poem to be circulated.

Du He waved his hands and said, "Writing poetry is a minor thing, not worth mentioning."

Seeing Du He's extremely confident look, Cheng Ying did not think that he was pretending, but believed that he really had the ability.

Cheng Ying covered his mouth and chuckled, "Writing poetry is naturally not worth mentioning for you, the great poet of the Tang Dynasty."

Just as Du He and Cheng Ying were talking in low voices, the tall Cheng Chubi walked over quickly and asked in a low voice with an anxious look on his face.

"Prince Consort Du, please stop the competition between my father and General Xi."

"I'm afraid my dad will lose and lose face."

Du He turned around and glanced at the burly Cheng Chubi, and found that his eyes were as smart as Cheng Yaojin's, giving people a feeling of great wisdom and appearing foolish.

"As expected, he is Cheng Yaojin's most promising son!"

Du He sighed in his heart, then smiled and said to Cheng Chubi.

"it is good!"

Now Cheng Yaojin is obviously at the end of his strength, but Xi Junmai still doesn't know how to stop. The lance in his hand seems to be as sharp as when facing an enemy.

Du He walked forward more than ten steps and shouted at Cheng Yaojin and Xi Junmai.

"Uncle Cheng, how long are you going to fight?"

"It's getting dark soon, and my nephew's stomach is growling with hunger!"

Hearing Du He's voice, Xi Junmai took back his lance first and stepped back several steps to create a long distance between them.

When Xi Junmai turned to look at Du He, he found that Du He was winking at him.

So Xi Junmai quickly turned around and looked at Cheng Yaojin. When he found that his future father-in-law Cheng Yaojin was panting and his face was pale, he was frightened.

"Oops!"

I was so engrossed in the fight just now that I seemed to have forgotten to control my strength.

At this moment, Xi Junmai felt a little regretful.

"Whoo~"

Cheng Yaojin leaned heavily on the ground with his lance in hand, then gasped for breath.

He turned to Du He and cursed, "Du He, you are such a spoilsport. I almost defeated Jun Mai, but you had to yell like that!"

"But since it's getting late, let's end our competition here. Let's quickly set up the banquet!"

After receiving Cheng Yaojin's order, a group of servants who were watching the show headed towards the kitchen and the side hall.

The kitchen had already prepared the meal, and now all that needed to be done was to move the dishes and wine to the side hall.

Du He said with a smile: "Uncle Cheng, this is the first time that Junmai comes to visit your house, you have to give him some face."

"Otherwise, if you beat him up too badly, wouldn't it make him embarrassed in front of Cheng Ying?"

I have to say that Cheng Yaojin is a tough guy with a tough mouth. He is also very good at telling lies with his eyes open. He can brag without blushing.

Even though he was being beaten by Xi Junmai, he still had to save his face.

Cheng Yaojin waved his hands and said, "What are you talking about, nephew Du? Junmai is my son-in-law, how could I embarrass him?"

Then he handed the lance to Cheng Chuli, and then walked to Xi Junmai with floating steps.

He raised his big hand like a palm-leaf fan again, patted Xi Junmai's shoulder heavily and said.

"Jun Mai, you are quite capable and worthy of my daughter!"

"But don't be complacent, you still need to continue to practice martial arts diligently!"

When Xi Junmai saw that his future father-in-law Cheng Yaojin was not angry, he finally felt relieved.

He responded respectfully: "Duke Lu is right. I will practice martial arts diligently."

Cheng Yaojin deliberately said with a straight face: "Still calling him Duke Lu?"

Forehead...

Xi Junmai was stunned.

What else to call him if not Duke Lu?

He is not married to Cheng Ying yet, so it’s not appropriate to call him father-in-law, right?

Du He reminded softly: "Jun Mai, Duke Lu wants you to call him father-in-law!"

Xi Junmai listened to Du He's words very much. Although his face turned red with embarrassment, he still bowed respectfully to Cheng Yaojin.

"Meet the father-in-law."

"Hahaha!" Cheng Yaojin laughed happily, and then said with satisfaction: "What a good son-in-law!"

When Cheng Ying heard what her father and Xi Junmai said, her fair face suddenly turned red with shame.

"Old and unrefined!"

She spat, then covered her face with her long sleeves and walked shyly towards the side hall.

After Cheng Yaojin watched the shy woman walk into the side hall, he winked at Xi Junmai and gave him some advice.

"My dear son-in-law, if you want to please Cheng Ying, you have to think of more romantic ways in the future!"

"For example, accompany her to the lake to appreciate the snow and compose poems, or accompany her to play the piano and paint."

"If you don't have talent in this area, you can ask Du He to give you some advice in private. His talent in writing poetry is second to none in the world. No one dares to rank him first."

Seeing that Cheng Yaojin actually taught Xi Junmai to please Cheng Ying, Du He, who had seen a lot of ups and downs, was also a little surprised.

He must be very satisfied with Xi Junmai, or he must want his daughter to get married so much, that he has to give personal advice!

As for the brothers Cheng Chubi and Cheng Chuli, they were not surprised at all and each one looked calmer than the other.

Xi Junmai clasped his fists shyly and said, "Yes, sir!"

Cheng Yaojin nodded slightly, then waved to Du He and Xi Junmai and said.

"Nephew Du, dear son-in-law, let's go drink some wine and eat some meat now. Today a cow got upset and crashed into a wall and died. Let's all eat more meat later!"

Du He smiled and said, "It is said that Uncle Cheng's oxen are weak and sickly, and always want to die. Today I saw that it is true!"
