Cannon Fodder [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 23
After Wu Erfulang's persuasion, Wu Kang'an was not so opposed to the fact that his younger brother had a relationship with Xiao Zimo, but he still put Xiao Zimo in an observation area to be determined in his heart. If he found out that there was something wrong with Xiao Zimo, then he was trying to make Brother Bai hate him, and he wanted to separate the two of them.
In this way, when Xiao Zimo quietly came to the door of the inn to wait for Wu Bai the next day, Wu Kang'an had actually seen him, but he still pretended not to know and let him and Brother Bai go out.
The two lovers who haven't seen each other for a long time finally have the opportunity to go shopping together, and they are very happy.
Xiao Zimo introduced the customs of the capital to Brother Bai, and asked, "I wrote you so many letters this year, why didn't you reply to any of them?"
"Letter? I didn't receive the letter you sent me?" Wu Bai was puzzled.
Hearing this, Xiao Zimo's heart sank. He thought that after this year's hard work, he had already cleaned up all the people his parents placed around him, but he didn't expect that there would be fish that slipped through the net here.
However, he still kept a smile on his face, and said: "It's just that I sent you a few letters after I arrived in the capital. Maybe it was because of the long distance, so the letters were accidentally lost. I'm still wondering why you didn't reply to me. , full of apprehension, and worried that you have already married someone else, so it is inconvenient for me to reply."
Speaking of this mental journey, Xiao Zimo also looked at Wu Bai with an aggrieved face.
Seeing the other party playing tricks like this, Wu Bai couldn't help laughing.
"You still laugh, don't you comfort me?" Xiao Zimo was even more aggrieved.
Wu Bai rubbed his head, and said helplessly: "Okay, don't be wronged, tell me how your life has been this year, didn't you say you would come back to settle the marriage that your parents arranged for you?" Is it? How is it now?"
Only then did Xiao Zimo talk about the past with him, but he didn't mention any of the hardships he encountered, and just talked about some interesting things.
"...Hahaha, you didn't see the faces of my father and mother after receiving the emperor's oral order. They thought the emperor was rewarding them verbally, but they were reprimanded because of this. They shrank back and were no longer as ostentatious as before..."
Although Xiao Zimo didn't say many things in detail, Wu Bai could still feel Xiao Zimo's hard work, and he looked at him distressedly.
Seeing Brother Bai looking at him distressedly, Xiao Zimo's heart tightened, and he coughed dryly: "Okay, let's not talk about them anymore, I know that there is a new roast duck restaurant in Beijing, I heard from my cousin, It's very delicious, how about I take you to try it?"
Wu Bai nodded, and the two walked towards the roast duck restaurant side by side.
"Seven Treasure Duck?" Wu Bai raised his eyebrows and muttered, thinking that the name was very interesting, "Everyone said it was Eight Treasure Duck, but this shop is called Seven Treasure Duck, so where did the other duck go?"
"...I heard from my cousin that the owner of this shop is named Qi, that's why it's named Qibao Duck." Xiao Zimo sweated for a while and explained.
The business of this store has been booming since it was opened, and there are a lot of customers every day, which makes many people jealous, but those who come to find fault are turned away.
Xiao Zimo was also curious about who the owner behind this shop was, so he did some research. After all, the Xiao family is a big family, and they needed a lot of people. He soon found out that the shop was owned by the Seventh Prince. open.
This seventh prince and his cousin can be said to be tied for the best in the imperial city. His cousin was given the title of "Devil of Confusion" because he often did some stupid things, while the seventh prince was given the title of "Devil of Gluttony" because he loved food ' title.
The Seventh Prince is not only greedy for food, but he is also good at discovering all kinds of delicacies. Wherever there are delicacies, he can't stop his nose. He also specially recruited many cooks who can cook delicacies around him, and specially cook them for him.
But these are all royal matters, and it's not easy for him to discuss royal matters with Brother Bai, so he didn't directly tell him that Qibao Duck's behind-the-scenes boss is the Seventh Prince.
The two entered the Qibao Duck Restaurant, went upstairs, and came to the private room that Xiao Zimo had booked in advance.
The waiter waited at the side, and went downstairs after they ordered the Qibao Duck and other food and drinks.
With no one else around, Xiao Zimo was bolder, took Wu Bai's hand, and looked at him affectionately. In this year, he really missed Wu Bai very much, and it was because of Wu Bai that he supported him in the face of Did not give up in many difficult times.
At the beginning, his father threatened him under the guise of being sick, and wanted him to marry the younger brother of the Minister of Rites. At that time, he was really in a dilemma. On the one hand, he was his beloved, and on the other hand, he was the kindness and filial piety of his parents. , but he still withstood the pressure and suppressed his parents' prayers.
Until he found out that his father was pretending to be sick, and their parents also lied to him, he was really angry and happy at that time, angry that his parents lied to him, happy that his father was not sick, so Once he comes, he doesn't have to be in a dilemma.
But it was precisely because of this that he and his parents had a deadlock.
His father was incompetent, which disappointed his grandfather. He thought that the Xiao family was going to decline, but he did not expect to give birth to him. He was smart since he was a child, which made his grandfather think of passing on the family business to him. Fortunately, he did not live up to his grandfather's trust, and carried the burden of the entire Xiao family by himself.
He has been living smoothly in these years, and he became the head of the Xiao family at a young age, so even if he is not a promising official, he is not a prince, but those who come to him to say goodbye will not lose. Those people, but he always feels that his marriage has not yet arrived, and he still needs to wait patiently.
This waited for a few years, and now he is 20 years old, and the children of the young masters of the same age as him can play soy sauce. He has not yet married, and the more important thing is that his parents are also anxious and start to force him to marry.
Xiao Zimo sighed in his heart, thinking that his waiting was worth it after all, he waited until Brother Bai.
Originally, the two of them were already old husbands and old husbands in their previous lives, and Wu Bai was very casual when facing Xiao Zimo, but now that Xiao Zimo looked at him so affectionately, he couldn't help but blush.
Just when Xiao Zimo happily wanted to continue talking to Brother Bai, the door of the private room was pushed open.
"Hahaha, cousin, I heard that you were shopping with a little brother, so I came here specially to have a look..." Before Zhao Chengnan finished speaking, he looked at Wu Bai in shock, Said: "It's you!!"
Xiao Zimo looked at the two of them and said, "Why do you two know each other?"
"I don't know, I don't know his name at all, and he probably doesn't know my name either." Wu Bai replied with raised eyebrows.
Zhao Chengnan's face was full of black lines, he really didn't know the other party's name, and the other party really didn't know his name either!
"Tell me, what's going on?" Xiao Zimo cast a sideways glance at Zhao Chengnan, motioning him to be honest.
Zhao Chengnan looked back, closed the door of the private room again, and walked to Xiao Zimo like a thief.
Then he said: "Cousin, didn't you ask me who saved me? Well, it's him and his family."
Xiao Zimo glanced at the other party's sneaky behavior with disgust, and then turned to Wu Bai.
Wu Bai spread his hands, and said speechlessly: "When my second brother and I went to Beijing, we passed a river and saw him lying in the river, not dead. The second brother said that saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. We rescued him, and then we had to rush to Beijing, so we had to take him with us. When we arrived in the capital, he woke up a few days later and said a few words before leaving. I didn’t expect that he was your cousin. I didn't mention it to you."
Seeing that Wu Bai didn't mention the fact that he was disguised as a brother in front of his cousin, Zhao Chengnan looked at him gratefully.
"What are you looking at?" Xiao Zimo quickly blocked Zhao Chengnan's gaze from looking at Wu Bai, and said displeasedly.
Staring at his cousin's sharp gaze, Zhao Chengnan said aggrievedly, "I just want to thank my cousin for their life-saving grace."
"Okay, since you know he is your cousin, then don't get in the way here, understand?" Xiao Zimo said angrily.
Hearing this, Zhao Chengnan felt even more aggrieved. He looked at Xiao Zimo with a ghostly expression on his face, and said in a resentful tone: "I didn't expect you to be such a cousin~"
Seeing the two brothers playing tricks like this, Wu Bai couldn't hold back his own smile anymore, and burst out laughing.
"Guest officer, the Qibao duck you want is ready." The waiter came in with a plate of Qibao duck and put it on the table. After that, some waiters came in one after another, put the dishes they ordered on the table backed out.
"Cousin, why did the two of you order such a small amount of food? There is not enough food for the three of us now!" Zhao Chengnan said while stretching his chopsticks towards Qibao Duck.
Seeing the situation, Xiao Zimo stretched out his chopsticks to block it, and said, "Go, go, we didn't order your portion. Besides, I don't believe you didn't have lunch before you went out."
"Brother? See how stingy my cousin is, you should take care of him." Zhao Chengnan muttered to Wu Bai.
Wu Bai was amused by him again, and then turned to Xiao Zimo and said, "Okay, let him eat, just order more if it's not enough."
Only then did Xiao Zimo move his chopsticks away, and when Zhao Chengnan was proud, he picked up the fattest and tenderest piece of duck meat, and put it in Wu Bai's bowl.
Now Zhao Chengnan was a little dumbfounded, he fell in love with that piece of meat at a glance just now, and in an instant, he felt that his heart was a billion and a little bit painful!
The three of them were arguing upstairs while eating lunch. In the end, the food was really not enough, so they ordered to go down and add some more food. Then they started chatting, enjoying the scenery outside the window, and drinking some wine by the way.
Zhao Chengnan felt that he hadn't felt so comfortable in a long time.
Downstairs, a figure rode a horse and passed by.
Wu Bai asked, "Who was the person who rode past just now?" He dared to ride a horse in such a crowded place, and the speed was so fast!
"I don't know." Xiao Zimo shook his head. He had been staring at Brother Bai just now, and he didn't notice what the man on the horse looked like.
"Brother, let me tell you that the man just now was called Yu Hongyi, and he was also a son of a family, but he studied martial arts with a martial arts master since he was a child, and later he was on duty at the camp in the suburbs of Beijing. A few days ago, he took people to suppress I was a bandit, and after I came back, I was named a heroic general by my father, I didn't expect the other party to tremble, and dare to whip the horse on the street!" Zhao Chengnan sighed.
"Yu Hongyi?" Wu Bai was stunned by the name, isn't this the name of the heroine in the storybook he saw in that dark space?
But is this too coincidental?
The author has something to say: Advance receipt of "I Accompany Husband Back to Ancient Times" copywriting:
Jing Ziming just went for a trip to the scenic spot opened by his brother, and never wanted to pick up a little husband. Two years later, he accompanied him to travel back to ancient times.
Once again, I saw my uncle and aunt who pretended to be good for me and wanted to marry me to a widower, but in fact coveted my family property. Su Qinghan, whose parents both died, no longer allowed himself to be manipulated. She smiled and said, "Uncle and aunt don't have to worry about my marriage." , I decided to hire a wife!"
Uncle and aunt were shocked: "What? Who doesn't know that you are celibate, and someone is willing to marry you?"
Jing Ziming raised his hand: "I am willing!"
Uncles and aunts: Surprise! ! !
Quietly pulled Jing Ziming over and asked: "Do you know that Qing Han is choking his relatives, especially Kefu! Be careful that you are being choked!"
Jing Ziming spread his hands: "No way, he gave too much!"
Uncle and aunt: "..."
