Chapter 174 Want to go on a honeymoon
After expressing his loyalty, Mo Yu took the silver bills in his hand, got up from the ground, and disappeared in a flash.
There was no sign of the serious injury he showed when he was lying on the ground. Xiao Jinyi discovered that ever since Mo Yu and Bai He had been together, he had learned to play tricks.
It really is true that the old saying goes, "He who keeps company with vermilion becomes red, and he who keeps company with ink becomes black."
"This kid is so happy that he forgot he was scamming someone and ran away so late. If he had stayed a step later at night, he could have gotten another one, right? Uncle?"
Xiao Jinyi was reminded by Shen Shixu, and he disappeared in an instant.
After a while he came back with the dumbfounded Mo Yu in his hands.
Xiao Jinyi released the hand that was grabbing Mo Yu's collar and put him on the ground, "Uncle, I wasn't the only one who beat Mo Yu just now. My wife has already paid for me. Do you have to..."
After saying this, Xiao Jinyi kicked Mo Yu, who was sitting on the ground, with his toes. Mo Yu got his hint, lay down on the ground, covered his stomach and rolled over.
"Ouch, ouch, my stomach hurts! It must be the result of that slap just now. Why am I so unlucky? I was just delivering a message and was accidentally injured.
The person who beat me up didn't show any reaction at all. It's really unfair! ”
Xiao Lie's face turned dark immediately, even darker than the already dark sky.
Baili Xi felt speechless about the uncle and nephew. Why were they so noisy? He thought that these two people were just bored. If that was the case, then they might as well skip dinner tonight.
Baili Xi took out two gold ingots from Xiao Lie's sleeve, squatted down and put them in Mo Yu's hand.
"This is compensation for you. Go back and wash it after you take it. Otherwise, Bai He will probably scold you when he sees it."
Upon hearing this, Mo Yu hurriedly took the two gold ingots and stood up from the ground.
"Thank you, Lord Xiaoyao, for your reward. I will take my leave now."
After sending Mo Yu away, Shen Shixu and the others went to the front hall to start their meal.
As soon as Xiao Jinyi and Xiao Lie picked up their chopsticks, Baili Xi knocked them down. "I feel like you two are full of energy. You must be full. In that case, don't eat dinner today."
Seeing that he didn't look like he was lying, Xiao Lie moved closer to him and said, "Baby, I know I made you angry just now, but can you make an exception today? This dinner is also considered as Jin Yi's wedding banquet. It's the only chance in a lifetime. I've already missed it once before. I really don't want to miss it this time. How about we change the punishment and let me skip breakfast tomorrow morning?"
Baili Xi just wanted to scare the two men intentionally, he didn't really stop them from eating. At this time, Xiao Lie handed him a slope, and he just went down it.
“Okay, but remember this lesson, next time you two make trouble, don’t be so cruel.
Fortunately, it was Mo Yu who came to call us this time. He had some martial arts skills, and when he was attacked by you, he subconsciously protected himself and only suffered minor injuries.
If it was Xiao Shitou and the others who came here, even if you didn't do anything serious, it would be enough to give them a good beating. ”
Shen Shixu agreed with Baili Xi's statement, so he also talked about Xiao Jinyi, "Uncle Xi is right, Jinyi, don't fight again next time you play. There are still many people in our house who don't know martial arts, don't let them suffer an unprovoked disaster."
Xiao Jinyi nodded to indicate that he would remember it, and then added a large chicken drumstick to Shen Shixu’s bowl, “I know, I will never do it again.”
After this little episode came to an end, the four of them began to eat dinner, chatting and laughing.
As they chatted, they talked about going out to play. Xiao Lie looked at Xiao Jinyi who kept picking up food for Shen Shixu and said, "Jinyi, did your brother give you a day off after you got married?"
"My father originally only gave me three days of vacation, but I thought it was too short, so I ran to the palace to find my father and pestered him to come back for two more days.
Excluding today, Ah Xu and I still have four days of free time.
But we have to go back tomorrow, so to be precise there are only three days left. ”
"Three days? That's too little time. I thought my brother should give you more time off so that you two can go out and have some fun.
Even though the two of you had been out together quite a few times, they were all for investigating cases, so I’m afraid you haven’t had any good time yet.
As someone who has been through this, I want to remind you that when a couple first gets married, their relationship is at its best, as sweet as honey.
If you can put everything aside and go out for fun, your relationship will be better.
That's what happened to me and your Uncle Xi. We got married secretly, and after that we started traveling all over the world. You see, we still have a good relationship. ”
After listening to this, Shen Shixu said with a slurred mouth, "Isn't this just a honeymoon?"
"Honeymoon?" Xiao Jinyi repeated it to himself and felt that the word was very appropriate.
"Your words are really apt. If you two are interested in this, I know a place where you can go for two days."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinyi carefully picked up a piece of lamb chop for Xiao Lie and said, "Uncle, please help us make arrangements. We will go over to play after we return home."
Xiao Lie looked at Xiao Jinyi with a look that said "you finally came to me for help", and Xiao Jinyi smiled at him flatteringly.
Baili Xi was worried that the two would start a quarrel again, so he told Shen Shixu directly, "It's a small town called Chunfeng Town, about a hundred miles away from the capital. If you ride fast, you can get there in half a day.
The scenery is very nice. You can see many flowers if you go there at this time, and the fruits there are especially sweet.
I remember that you, Ah Xu, like grapes and peaches. The grapes there have thin skin, large flesh and plenty of juice. The grapes burst with juice when you bite them.
The peaches are a very pretty pink colour and have a crispy, sweet texture, just how you like them. ”
Shen Shixu's interest had been aroused. He looked at Xiao Jinyi with shining eyes and said, "After we return home tomorrow, we will set out in the afternoon so that we can arrive at the place in the evening. If we go earlier, we can play for a longer time."
Xiao Jinyi nodded and looked at Shen Shixu's excited look, wondering whether he should go to the palace and beg his father to give him a few more days of leave.
But he thought that was unlikely, as he had to talk his mouth off to get these two extra days, and he had to throw a tantrum in front of his parents and ask his mother to plead for him.
It would be fine if Emperor Wu An wanted to keep them to work, after all, they are high-ranking officials and it is their duty.
But in fact, it was Emperor Wu An and those officials who wanted to hear gossip that refused to release him.
In addition, the entrance to Prince Jing's mansion has been almost trampled to pieces these past few days. They are all officials who pretend to be passing by and want to see if they can eavesdrop on some gossip.
