Chapter 47 No Place to Eat
Xiao Lie originally thought that the mother and son would say some touching words upon their reunion, but who would have known that the first thing his mother would say when she saw him was that he had become uglier!
Baili Xi had been feeling uncomfortable and nervous about meeting Xiao Lie's family, but when he heard the Queen Mother's words, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Xiao Lie couldn't hold back anymore after hearing his smile. "No, you guys are going too far. I haven't been back for such a long time, don't you miss me at all? Why are you all poking my heart?
First of all, sister, can’t you see that I’m such a big living person? He went straight to A Xi. And mother, didn’t Yuanqi say that you missed me very much? How come the first thing he said when he saw me was that he disliked me for getting ugly? Besides, how could I have become uglier? I still look the same as before! No, he should be more handsome than before. ”
After Xiao Lie finished complaining about all this, he realized a little late that after he came in, did he tell everyone that Baili Xi was his sweetheart? He remembered that there was no one, then why did it seem like everyone knew that Baili Xi was the person he liked? Is there a missing link in this?
"No, I didn't say a word when I came in just now. How do you know that Ah Xi is my sweetheart?" As soon as Xiao Lie said this, Baili Xi also reacted.
The two of them had never known how to talk about their own affairs before, and all their attention was focused on this. Many things they just listened to without really thinking about them.
Princess Kang Ning saw that the two of them didn't know anything, and asked in confusion: "Didn't Jin Yi and the others tell you how they knew you were outside the city when we were on the way?"
When Xiao Lie heard his sister say this, he turned around to look at the two people who had been standing by his side with little presence since they came in.
It’s okay for Xiao Jinyi, he is a man of few words, so it’s normal for him not to say anything.
But Xiao Yuanqi is different. Although he is not good at dancing with long sleeves, he is not the kind of person who hasn't said a few words along the way.
"Yuan Qi, do you need to explain this to me?"
Xiao Yuanqi looked at Xiao Lie innocently, "Uncle didn't ask. Didn't you think I was too talkative before? So when I went to pick you up this time, I tried not to say anything. But you still bother me, uncle. You are too difficult to serve. I won't pick you up next time you come back."
Xiao Lie was so angry at him that he almost kicked him. If he hadn't looked so weak and Emperor Wu An was not standing next to him, he would have kicked him long ago.
The feud between the uncle and nephew started when Xiao Lie left the palace for the first time. At that time, Xiao Yuanqi was very worried about this uncle who was not much older than him and who grew up with him.
So before Xiao Lie left, she came to Xiao Lie's palace early in the night, squeezed into the same bed with him, and nagged him about all sorts of things all night long.
Remember to put on more clothes when it's cold, remember to eat when you're hungry, don't trust others easily when you're out, don't eat anything given by others, and don't be fooled by beauty, the more beautiful the person, the more dangerous they are...
Xiao Lie had known Xiao Yuanqi for such a long time, but he never knew he was such a nagging person. Although he knew it was for his own good, the tone he used as if he was instructing a fool made him so angry that he slapped him on the head.
"I'm your uncle and I'm older than you. Can you please not give me instructions like you're telling a child? I'm not a fool. Can I be sold out if I go out?
Also, I have watched you grow up since you were a child, so how could I not know that you are such a nagging person, even more nagging than Master Qiu? Are you over seventy years old or is Master Qiu over seventy years old? ”
Xiao Yuanqi felt extremely wronged. He was obviously worried about his safety. He admitted that he was a bit long-winded, but Xiao Lie couldn't call him an old man in his seventies!
So when they suddenly met after not seeing each other for so many years and Xiao Lie had forgotten about the matter, Xiao Yuanqi took revenge directly.
Don’t you think I’m too long-winded? Then I won’t say anything and just keep you hanging so that you can experience what it feels like to be scared.
When Xiao Lie heard what Xiao Yuanqi said, he remembered what happened the night before he left the palace. He didn't expect that after so long, this guy still held a grudge.
"Why do you become more narrow-minded as you get older?" Xiao Lie complained and went to ask Xiao Jinyi, who was standing behind like a background board with a cold face. He could also ask other people, but Xiao Jinyi looked the most reliable one among so many people.
As for the others, Xiao Lie always felt that they had bad intentions.
"Jin Yi, come and tell your uncle, how did you know about me and Ah Xi?"
Xiao Lie even suspected that his brother had arranged secret guards to follow him all the time, but he changed his mind and felt that this possibility should be very small. His martial arts skills were not weak, and if there was someone following him day by day for years, he would not have failed to notice it.
So he was really curious about how Emperor Wu An and others who were far away in the capital knew that he and Baili Xi were together.
Xiao Jinyi told the story of Shen Shixu. Xiao Lie and Baili Xi were all shocked when they heard it. Xiao Lie said in amazement, "I have traveled all over the country for so many years, but this is the first time I have seen such a magical person. His ability is not inferior to that of a god."
Baili Xi had heard the elders of their tribe talk about some magical people, but those magical people were not as powerful as Shen Shixu. He was a little curious about this person and wanted to meet him.
Xiao Lie saw what he was thinking. Coincidentally, he also wanted to meet her, so he said to Xiao Jinyi: "From what you said, you are very familiar with that Lord Shen. Introduce them to me some other day. Let me meet your aunt."
Xiao Jinyi had this idea. After knowing that his aunt was the Holy Son of Southern Xinjiang, he wanted to introduce Shen Shixu to him, so that Shen Shixu would have the opportunity to get some poisonous insects from Baili Xi to play with.
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements then."
Shen Shixu, who was being thought of by others, had just left Dali Temple at noon and was looking for somewhere to eat. The girls' school officially started two days ago, and Xu Qing went there to pack her bags. They had just had hot meals for a few days and now had nowhere to eat again.
I haven’t found a suitable cook yet, so I can only eat at small stalls or go to restaurants these days.
When Chen Shixu was on the road thinking about which restaurant to go to for lunch, he heard passers-by talking about Shili Renjia. They said that there was an event there and the courtesan from Chunfeng Tower was invited to perform there. Many people were rushing there!
Hearing the familiar name of Shili Renjia, Shen Shixu remembered what the waiter at Tianxianglou had said before, about the store that was stealing business.
I heard that the decoration is very nice, the taste is also good, the price is cheap, and now they have also introduced performances. It sounds quite attractive.
Shen Shixu, who was about to go to the wonton stall next to him, turned left and followed the others to Shili Renjia.
