"Xu Wenyu just happened to be at the door when he arrived a step later, and hearing the old lady's words, he became afraid that Cheng Xi would pass these words to him, so he hurriedly said," Mother, please don't say it like this, our little son is just messing around in the yamen, how can he be compared to Young Master Yu? Even if we let Lan lass go to Young Master Yu's side, it would be like getting close to you girls, since Sanlang, Sanlang's wife, Lan lass is your little sister, so you should take care of them, after all, they are family. Isn't this a beautiful thing to do? "

Cheng Xi actually admired's words. She was clearly the same greedy person, yet he said it in such a righteous manner, as if it was all for your own good. If one was slightly more stupid, one would have to thank him for the idea.

"At most, we can only send her to Young Master Yu's side. As for the result, it's not something that we can control, it'll depend on Xu Lan's luck."

Seeing that his fourth son had come over, Old Madam Xu stood up and gave him a seat. She walked out the door and said, "You guys continue chatting, I'll get someone to bring some hot water over. These lazy fellows, it's so cold, don't they even know how to bring hot water?"

"Sanlang has changed a lot in the past half year, walking out just like that. I didn't know which family he is from, and as expected, he is one of us, a son of Xu Family, with temperament. If there's a chance for his Xu Family to soar in the heavens, if we were to walk out again in the future, we would be real young masters."

Xu Sanlang lowered his head and replied, "I'm just a peasant."

With regards to Xu Sanlang's disagreement, a trace of awkwardness flashed across Xu Wenyu's face, and he could only say to Cheng Xi who was beside him, "Although I managed to get a position in the yamen, I do not have any background, and my foundation is not stable, so I am still not able to stand firmly. If I want to progress further, it will be even more difficult."

Cheng Xi thought that since she had already promised to send Xu Lan to her home, how could this Xu Wenyu still think of a way to link the two of them together?

What she did not expect Xu Wenyu to say next caused Cheng Xi to be slightly shocked, and she heard Xu Wenyu ask, "Do you know the people from the Moon City and Zhao Palace?"

At first, Cheng Xi did not have much time to react, but when she thought about the person surnamed Zhao that she knew, she remembered Zhao Ke. It was just that Cheng Xi was a little suspicious, how did Xu Wenyu know that Zhao Ke was from Moon City?

This doubt was something that Cheng Xi could only keep in her heart. She pretended that she didn't know anything and asked, "Where is the Moon City? I only heard that my two big brothers work at Prefecture City, but they seem to be called Cloud City s, not Moon City s. "

Xu Wenyu looked at Cheng Xi's confused expression, she did not seem to be lying, and continued to ask: "Then do you know people surnamed Zhao?"

Cheng Xi nodded her head: "I do, our restaurant's master's surname is Zhao and there are a few waiters who use the surname, all of them have the surname Zhao, and all of them have the surname Zhao. We have stayed in the city for half a year, and know a few people, of course we have recognized many people with the surname Zhao."

Xu Wenyu couldn't figure out what was going on and he also had some doubts in his heart. Could it be that he had heard wrongly, or that it was such a coincidence that the people that Zhao Family were referring to had the same surname and name as Cheng Xi and Cheng Xi? Thinking about it, he felt it was inconceivable. It was not surprising that they had the same name. It was impossible for it to be such a coincidence that both of them had the same name.

Xu Wenyu's gaze travelled back and forth across Xu Sanlang's face, but he still could not see anything. He quickly analyzed in his heart, either because the two of them had hidden themselves well, or because they were people who truly did not know Moon City.

Suddenly, a light flashed in Xu Wenyu's eyes. There was another possibility, and that was that the two of them knew someone from Moon City who they did not know.

It was definitely like this. The two had never gone far, and had only heard about Cloud City before, how could they know about Moon City? Even if they had heard about it, they probably wouldn't have taken it to heart.

Xu Wenyu had a plan in his heart, he opened his mouth and said, "When I was rushing to take the examination, I met a friend surnamed Zhao, which helped me a lot, and I always wanted to thank him. He said that his hometown was at the Moon City, and then he moved here, but I haven't been able to find him for quite some time, so when I return to the county city, you guys introduce him to me, and see if he's with you."

Cheng Xi did not reject, she nodded her head and seemed to see hope, the smile on her face became more sincere, she laughed and said: "Since you are back, all of you can stay at ease, we are all family, if there is anything you need, just ask."

Cheng Xi nodded her head, and impolitely opened her mouth to speak, "I have nothing better to do here, I don't have any spare time to waste time, it would be great if I had some words to say."

Xu Wenyu had originally said a few polite words, but he did not expect Cheng Xi to really open her mouth. Hearing his words, the corner of his eyes twitched, and he could only bite the bullet and agree, "I'll get you to send this in a while, your wife often whispers about you in my ears, so I'll have her accompany you more."

Xu Wenqiang, who was at the side, spoke out in shock, "You can still read?"

Cheng Xi nodded and replied, "My brother taught me."

had been in the private school for a few years, and after that, it was really hard for him to read even if his family's conditions were bad, so he gave up. When he was at home, he would teach his younger brother and sister how to read.

With regards to these complex words, Cheng Xi could roughly guess what it was, but it made it a little difficult for her to write. However, Cheng Xi did not plan to become illiterate here, and would work hard to read and write whenever she was free.

In Xu Wenqiang's eyes, Cheng Xi was a strong person, at such a young age, she could actually make Xu Sanlang do the job well, and could even make so many big shots as well, much stronger than most girls. Thinking that maybe because she knew the words, she was smarter than most girls, so she had an idea, and said: "Our family's little girl doesn't even know a few big words, not to mention reading books, I'll make her learn more from you. You are her sister-in-law, you should teach her well.

Cheng Xi nodded her head, if Xu Lan was truly a good person, she did not mind teaching him well, but as for whether or not she could continue listening to his father, it was none of her business.

After that, Cheng Xi continued speaking, "Xu Sanlang and I also do not have any clothes to change our clothes, and we are not used to wearing old clothes, so we do not know what to do."

Xu Wenyu tried his best to resist the urge to stand up and smash the table, forcing out a smile as he replied, "I'll see if there's any new clothes at home. I'll make a new set for all of you."

Cheng Xi said as if she wanted to take an inch, "There's not even one that can be changed."

Xu Wenyu clenched his teeth and laughed, "Then let's do two sets."

Cheng Xi replied with a sweet smile, "Then I'll have to thank Fourth Uncle."

After that, he pretended to look at Xu Sanlang who was at the side and sighed, "Look, Fourth Uncle still feels sorry for us."

Xu Wenyu was worried that Cheng Xi would make more demands than usual, so he quickly stood up and said, "You guys rest first, wait until dinner is over before coming over to call for you guys. We'll be leaving first."

Without waiting for the two's reply, he quickly left. Xu Wenqiang watched as his little brother left and quickly left as well.

Cheng Xi laughed as she watched the two of them disappear into the courtyard, then she turned to Xu Sanlang and said, "I was wondering why they were suddenly so attentive to us, it turned out to be because of Big Brother Zhao, but how did you know that we have a relationship with him, and even know that he has Moon City?"

said, "That's not right, Fourth Uncle should not know about Big Brother Zhao's situation. He should have heard that we are in contact with people from Moon City, but he does not know who it is."

Cheng Xi thought about what Xu Wenyu said just now, and nodded in agreement, "That should be the case, looks like the Big Brother Zhao is not a simple family."

Xu Sanlang said, "Since we know their goal, let's go."

Although he had long since given up on reporting his expectations for his relatives, knowing their goal now, Xu Sanlang's heart still felt a little uncomfortable. It would be better to leave this place as soon as possible.

He wanted to see if his thatched cottage could still be repaired. If so, it would be better to go and live in his thatched cottage.

However, Cheng Xi did not think that way, with a mischievous smile on her face, she said: "It's rare for your family to be so passionate, how can we leave just like that? Furthermore, we did not even wear our new clothes for the New Year, if not we can stay for the New Year."

Xu Sanlang lowered his head and muttered, "I want to take a look at the thatched hut, that's my home."

Cheng Xi also noticed Xu Sanlang's strangeness, seeing the injuries in Xu Sanlang's eyes, she moved the chair under her butt to Xu Sanlang's side, extended her hand to grab Xu Sanlang's hand, and said with a pained heart, "When we're rich, we can build our own courtyard, no need for thatch, a green brick house."

Xu Sanlang nodded his head and muttered, "I want to raise a few chicks, a big fat pig, and a plot of land in the courtyard to grow vegetables."

Cheng Xi said coquettishly, "I'm not good at farming."

Xu Sanlang very straightforwardly agreed, "I'll do it."

Cheng Xi smiled with satisfaction, "Although I don't know how to farm, I can still cook for you."

Just like that, the two of them leaned against each other and muttered their hopes and dreams for the future. The haze in Xu Sanlang's heart also gradually dispersed.
