Chapter 238 Agou

One hour later.

Under Wei Yanyu's complicated gaze, Wei Changtian stood up and walked out of the tea room, and left Xu's house with Chu Xianping who had been waiting outside.

After sending the two away, Xu Chengwen returned to the tea room and looked at Wei Yanyu who was still sitting there motionless and asked softly, "Mother, how was the conversation with Master Wei?"

“.”

Wei Yanyu didn't say anything, just shook his head slightly.

Xu Chengwen hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Mother, it's too unrealistic for the Wei family to want to get something for nothing."

"But the imperial court has not yet taken any action, so we can still consider this matter in the long run."

"Let's take a long-term view. Alas, this is all we can do."

Wei Yanyu sighed softly, stood up and walked to Xu Chengwen, reaching out to straighten the latter's collar.

"Chengwen, just now I was wondering if I had done something wrong before."

"Wrong?"

Xu Chengwen was stunned: "Mother, what do you mean?"

“.”

Wei Yanyu paused, then said softly: "You are about the same age as Wei Changtian. People say that he is tyrannical and unlearned, while people say that you are both civil and military, and have extraordinary intelligence."

"But now Wei Changtian can come to me on behalf of the Wei family to discuss the matter of life and death of the two families. I think his influence in the Wei family is no less than that of Wei Xianzhi."

"And you"

"Chengwen, maybe after your father died, I should have handed the Xu family over to you."

"Tell me, did Mom do something wrong?"

“.”

The sandalwood in the corner had burned out, leaving only a small pile of white ash in the incense burner.

Xu Chengwen didn't expect Wei Yanyu to suddenly bring up this matter. He trembled slightly and quickly lowered his head to answer, "Mother, I know that I have many shortcomings, and I know that I will not be able to take care of the Xu family's affairs at the moment."

"No, but I will work harder in the future, just to relieve my mother's worries as soon as possible!"

Bowing and trembling with fear.

Xu Chengwen's expression was a little frightened, which didn't seem like the attitude of a son towards his mother.

Although this may be influenced by the strict concept of seniority and hierarchy in the old society.

But it is also closely related to Wei Yanyu's strong personality.

"Chengwen, mother is waiting for that day."

Wei Yanyu took a deep look at Xu Chengwen and sighed meaningfully: "Alas, I just hope you won't let your mother down."

Ruyi Inn.

It was already noon when Wei Changtian and Chu Xianping returned.

Different from what Wei Yanyu said to Xu Chengwen, when Chu Xianping asked "how did the talk go", Wei Changtian gave a positive answer.

"It's basically been negotiated, but Madam Wei will not fulfill her promise until the intelligence is verified."

"Um"

Chu Xianping nodded: "It seems that we will have to stay in Jizhou City for a few more days."

"It's fine to stay here, but I'm afraid that the imperial army will surround the city and it will be difficult for us to leave."

Wei Changtian was a little distressed: "It would be troublesome if we were trapped in the city."

"Sir, you don't have to worry too much about this."

Chu Xianping shook his head indifferently: "We are not many in number, and with Master Qin here, it will be easy for us to leave."

"That's good, as long as I can leave at any time."

Wei Changtian responded casually, pulled open the car curtain and prepared to get out.

But at this moment, he suddenly remembered something.

"Brother Chu, yesterday afternoon Youjia and I met an old man who was setting up a chess stall on the street."

Luoguo Lane, north of Jizhou City.

Luoguo Lane is a small alley, not too far from the market where Wei Changtian met the old man yesterday. There are about ten households living in it.

Carrying a roast chicken, some side dishes and a pot of liquor, Wei Changtian knocked heavily on a tattered door.

“Boom boom boom!”

“Boom boom boom!”

I knocked several times, but no one opened the door.

Wei Changtian turned his head to glance at Lao Liu next to him. Just as he was about to curse the old man for standing him up, the door was suddenly pushed open a small gap.

“Hmm.”

Big black eyes and two little pigtails.

A little girl who was about the same age as Wei Qiaoling and Ah Chun showed half of her head and asked timidly, "Who are you looking for?"

Huh? This old man actually has a beautiful girl in his golden house, no, a little girl in his shabby house? ! "Little girl, I'm looking for an old man who runs a chess stall. Does he live here?"

"Oh, he's my grandpa."

The little girl was also naive. Upon hearing that, she immediately pushed open the door and let Wei Changtian into the yard.

"Slurp~"

She stared at the roast chicken in Wei Changtian's hand and sipped her saliva. It took her a long while to come back to her senses. She said in a low voice embarrassedly:

"Big brother, my grandpa is sleeping."

"sleep?"

Wei Changtian certainly didn't have the time to wait for the old man to wake up, and immediately ordered: "Take me over, I'll wake him up!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"ah?"

The little girl opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but at this moment, an old and vulgar voice suddenly sounded from the dilapidated house behind them.

"No need, I'm already awake."

"Agou, bring this young master in."

Agou?

Wei Changtian was stunned, looked around, and finally fixed his eyes on the little loli who was staring at the roast chicken in his hand.

"Your name is Agou?"

"Uh-huh!"

“.”

A quarter of an hour later.

"Baji, Baji~"

An old man and a child were sitting cross-legged on the earthen kang, gnawing on roast chicken, while Wei Changtian was sitting on a broken chair with one leg missing next to them, staring in amazement.

Good man, look how hungry the child is! "Old man, how can you name a kid like that?"

Crossing his legs, Wei Changtian stood up for the little girl: "Agou, this is too harsh."

"You don't understand."

The old man took a sip of wine and said casually, "I picked her up on the roadside a few years ago. This kind of child needs a humble name so that it is easier to raise."

"She is a girl after all, so it would sound better even if she is called Amao." Wei Changtian curled his lips.

I don’t know why, although he had only met this old man twice and didn’t even know his last name, he was very relaxed when talking to him.

The old man was also very familiar. He glanced back at Wei Changtian, then asked the little girl with a smile: "Agou, how about changing your name to Amao?"

“No, don’t.”

The little girl stuffed her mouth with chicken and shook her head and replied vaguely: "Agou sounds good."

“.”

Well, forget it.

Wei Changtian rolled his eyes and stopped dwelling on the question, then casually said, "Old man, you asked me to come find you yesterday, and now I'm here too."

"What's the matter? Tell me."

“No rush.”

The old man continued to eat and drink, and pointed to his side enthusiastically: "Sir, why don't you take off your veil and eat with us?"

"No, I've already eaten."

Wei Changtian shook his head, but after hesitating for a moment, he took off the curtain on his face.

“Pah~”

Two chicken bones suddenly fell on the earthen kang. The old man and the child both looked at him straight, which made Wei Changtian feel creepy.

After both of them swallowed their saliva, Agou whispered: "Grandpa, big brother is so handsome."

"really."

The old man nodded, wiped the grease from the corners of his mouth and sighed, "I have to say, it has quite a bit of the demeanor of this old man when he was young."

"Good! With this appearance, you are barely qualified to be my apprentice!"
