Reborn Rongruo

Not far away, Cheng De ran into Cao Lixuan who was running towards him out of breath.Li Xuan is also 11 years old now, no longer the round and chubby little ball he was when he was a child, but has a faint demeanor of a young man who has grown up.

Seeing Li Xuan approaching, Cheng De slowed down involuntarily, and was about to turn sideways to avoid him, but Li Xuan recognized him.Seeing Chengde, Li Xuan's eyes obviously lit up, he ran a few steps and rushed over, grabbed his hand, and said anxiously: "This... hero, have you seen my young master? That's right, I was with you just now. The one in the apricot-yellow robe who chased the thief over the wall?!"

The corner of Chengde's mouth twitched undetectably, thinking when did he become a hero?Pointing to the alley behind him calmly, he said, "It should still be inside, go and have a look."

"Oh, thank you, hero! Thank you so much!" Li Xuan let go of Cheng De, and hurriedly plunged into the alley.

He really doesn't remember!Cheng De felt sad, and looked at the direction where Li Xuan's back disappeared, then turned and walked back.Turning a corner, he happened to run into his servant who came to look for him.The servant was sweating from running, and he breathed a sigh of relief seeing that Chengde was safe and sound.

"Young master, the slaves have found you! My aunt and miss are worried about you, and they refuse to go back to the house, and they want the slaves to find the young master before they give up! Oh, but the slaves are exhausted!"

Cheng De was so angry that he kicked the servant, and scolded with a smile: "Why are you so cute? Am I not doing well?! Let's go, where are Miss and Auntie now?"

"Waiting for you in the private room of Liuquan Residence!"

"Liuquanju opened a semicolon at Dengshikou, why didn't I know?" Liuquanju is a time-honored brand left in the Longqing period of the previous Ming Dynasty, and it has always been at Xinjiekou. Chengde was curious about the semicolon, so he asked.

The little servant smiled and said: "I heard that this branch was opened by the second son of Liu Dayi, the boss of Liuquanju, and the eldest son is now the shopkeeper at the head office, and the second son can't get in the way, so why don't we create it by ourselves?" , opened a semicolon. It’s just about the sixth day, I heard that there are some ‘special dishes’ these days, it’s very fresh!”

"Oh, so business is pretty good?"

"Yes, it looks very prosperous!"

Chatting with the master and the servant, they had arrived at the entrance of Liuquanju semicolon, and before entering the door, they heard the shouting of the waiter inside and the loud laughter of the guests from time to time.Looks like business is booming!

Cheng De nodded secretly, and stepped into the threshold.After entering the door, I found that the hall was really overcrowded, with Eight Immortals tables and long benches, one table next to another, and there was almost no place to stand.Cheng De frowned, he liked to be quiet in his two lifetimes, and he didn't want to be contaminated by this kind of smoke and fire in the market.Just as he was about to order his servant to ask his aunt and Jiayi to come down, he was patted on the shoulder suddenly.

"Eh? Such a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here! It seems that we are really destined!"

Xuan Ye's laughing voice came to his ears, which made Cheng De feel a little overwhelmed for a while, he hurriedly suppressed his emotions, cupped his fists and said, "I didn't know Brother Huang was here, sorry, sorry!"

"Hey, why should Chengde be so polite? Since you and I met here, we have a good understanding of this, and we have to drink two cups of him today!" Xuanye waved his hand boldly, without asking Chengde if he would If you are willing, pull people up and go straight to the private room on the second floor.Cheng De couldn't push it, so he had to let him go.Cheng De didn't know, but at this moment Xuan Ye was secretly delighted by the 'Brother Huang' he just called out.

Both Hui Zhi and Jia Yi are girls who have not left the court, so it is not convenient for them to see Xuan Ye, so they divided them into two private rooms.When Hui Zhi and Jia Yi heard that Cheng De had returned safely, they both secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and now they finally had the interest to watch the scenery and talk about the lights.

Besides, when Xuan Ye dragged Cheng De into the private room, those eyes couldn't bear to move away from Cheng De's body for even a moment, I really couldn't get enough of them.While persuading Cheng De to drink, Xuan Ye was thinking about how to get clues out of this mouth for a while.It would be best to get him drunk and tell the truth, but seeing Chengde's composure after drinking so many glasses, it seems that this plan is difficult to implement.

Cheng De can probably guess Xuan Ye's thoughts at the moment, but he is not ready to recognize Xuan Ye, so whenever Xuan Ye wants to bring the topic to today's son, Cheng De always avoids it cleverly.

Both of them are open-minded people, and together with Chengde's two life companions, in this life, they met Xuan Ye as a child, and they responded freely to Xuan Ye's questions, and they always unconsciously brought out when chatting. A touch of kindness made Xuanye feel that talking with Chengde was really relaxing and relaxing.

The two were chatting, Xuan Ye suddenly said: "Rong Ruo, have you ever thought about me in these nine years?"

"Hmm..." Cheng De was startled, and quickly changed his words: "Who is Rong Ruo that Brother Huang mentioned? I heard that Brother Huang mentioned him more than once today!"

Xuan Ye stared at him closely, and naturally took in all his astonishment, and his guess became more certain in his heart. It can be seen that he refused to admit it, and felt a little depressed in his heart, but he could only smile and sigh: "This Ren is my only true friend in this life. He left my son because of some accidents when I was young, which caused me to look for him for nine years. When I first saw you today, I mistook you for him. However, you and I That best friend really looks alike!" Xuan Ye's words are true, in the past nine years, especially after he ascended the throne, he has sent many people to Shengjing to inquire about Cheng's family, but of course they found nothing.

"Yes, is it?" Chengde was a little embarrassed, and after a moment, he forced a smile: "Since he left you without any reason, such a person is not worthy of being your friend, why don't you forget him, my lord? Why bother searching hard?"

"Forgot?" Xuan Ye's tone suddenly rose, he looked at Cheng De with a half-smile, and said, "You say that, could it be you, you can forget each other cleanly?"

Cheng De opened his mouth, but couldn't speak. He avoided Xuan Ye's sharp eyes and turned his head to look out the window.The sky had gradually darkened, and Cheng Dezheng didn't know how to answer, when he heard Li Xuan, who had been standing at the door for an unknown amount of time, groan in his stomach.

The sound was so loud that Xuan Ye heard it too, and the atmosphere in the private room that was about to freeze was completely shattered by this loud noise.

Li Xuan's face was red and his ears were red, and he lowered his head in embarrassment, not daring to look at Xuan Ye's embarrassing expression.

Chengde smiled, and said to Xuan Ye: "I had a good chat with Brother Huang today. If Brother Huang doesn't give up, let's meet again at another day! It's getting late, please forgive Chengde for taking the first step. This glass of wine It's all about apologizing!" Without giving Xuan Ye a chance to speak, he raised his head from the wine glass and drank it clean.

Xuan Ye looked annoyed at him leaving gracefully, what do you mean to meet again at another day?Did you say to make another appointment before leaving? !Who is this look of fleeing like this for?Am I that annoying to you? !Xuan Ye slapped his chopsticks angrily, pointed at Li Xuan and shouted: "Come here! You will be rewarded with all the food and wine on this table, and you can eat all of them within a moment! Stop kneeling, hurry up, this is not over!"

At this time, it was the first time when the lanterns came on, and the lion dance team on Dengshikou Street was also officially dispatched. Coupled with the dazzling lanterns all over the street, it was really a bustling scene.

Cheng De picked Huizhi and Jiayi out of Liuquanju, and they strolled leisurely.

Jiayi has a childlike heart, and she is very dissatisfied with Chengde for leaving her and her aunt alone all afternoon, and now she is pestering Chengde to make up for it, "Brother, you are too shameful! Erniang obviously asked you to accompany me and my aunt It's good for you to come out to play, and you even went to drink with some Mr. Huang. Look, what time is it? He is still playing with everything! Really! I don't care, anyway, you have to accompany me today Participate in the lantern riddle contest, or I will sue you in front of Er Niang, hum!!"

Chengde had no choice but to coax the little girl, but Jiayi was determined not to buy it, and finally Chengde had no choice but to look at Huizhi for help.

Hui Zhi had long been amused by the two of them, but she was also very interested in the lantern riddle contest. Seeing Chengde looking over at this moment, she suppressed a smile and said, "It's useless for you to see me, I was also left out of favor by you." After a while, I think you should obey Jiayi obediently, otherwise, I, as an aunt, won't let you go!"

Chengde had no choice but to resign himself to taking the two young ladies to participate in the lantern riddle contest.

About thirty steps away behind them, Li Xuan asked Xuan Ye wonderingly while rubbing his bulging stomach, "Your Majesty, if you want to ask that Cheng De to chat with you, wouldn't it be the order? We just followed him once at noon, why are we following them so sneakily now?"

Who is it that Lao Tzu owes me to be so sneaky?Xuan Ye slapped Li Xuan's bare forehead, gritted his teeth and said, "Shut up! You don't understand!!"
