Chapter 788: Entering the Huang family
Xi Yu slowly stepped into the temple fair, and the scene in front of him instantly made him dizzy.
There are crowds of people here, and the noise is coming one after another.
The road was lined with colorful stalls, and the stall owners shouted enthusiastically, attracting the passing pedestrians.
Some stalls are filled with exquisite handicrafts, wood carvings are lifelike, and hand-woven jewelry is unique; some stalls display various special snacks, which are full of fragrance and make people salivate.
Among the crowd, children in bright clothes were laughing and running, holding colorful windmills and candied haws in their hands.
The young girls walked together, admiring the exquisite accessories and laughing happily from time to time.
The old people paced slowly, looking at the lively scene, with satisfied smiles on their faces.
Not far away, on a temporary stage, the actors were performing wonderful operas, with melodious singing and beautiful movements, attracting many audiences to stop and watch.
In the open space next to it, jugglers were showing difficult movements, which attracted the audience's cheers.
The entire temple fair was very lively and full of fireworks.
Xi Yu stood in the gradually deserted temple fair, and his eyes kept searching for the figure of Mrs. Huang in the crowd, but after looking at one person after another, they didn't look very much like the person he was looking for.
After a while, the sky suddenly became gloomy and dark clouds surging in the sky like ink.
The wind gradually became stronger, causing the flags on the stall to roar.
Xi Yu watched many people start to leave in a hurry, and the temple fair slowly dispersed.
He hurriedly found a place to shelter from the rain, and the raindrops as big as beans began to fall, hitting the ground and splashing water.
Standing under the eaves, Xi Yu suddenly wondered why he didn't shelter from the Huang family from the rain?
So he began to ask people around him where the Huang family was.
A fish vendor pointed to a street in the distance and said, "Let's walk along that road, turn right at the third intersection, and you can see the gate of the Huang family."
Xi Yu thanked the vendor and looked at the rainy curtain, and had a direction in his heart.
He tightened his clothes and prepared to go to the Huang family.
Xi Yu came to the door of Huang's house and knocked on the door hurriedly.
The rain slipped down his hair, and part of his clothes had been wet.
The doorman opened the door, and Xi Yu quickly explained his purpose and wanted to shelter from the rain.
The concierge looked at him and let him enter the Huang family.
Xi Yu was grateful and thanked him repeatedly.
After a short break, Xi Yu thought and asked, "Is there a Xu Dabao here?"
When the concierge heard this name, his face immediately became bad.
"There is a Xu Dabao, a young man who does nothing every day, but he is favored by his wife. Everyone has opinions about him." The tone of the concierge was full of dissatisfaction.
After a while, Xi Yu felt aroused his heart and asked if he could meet his wife.
The concise officer looked at him in confusion and asked, "Why do you want to see your wife?"
Xi Yu was slightly stunned, and then said calmly: "I came here to shelter from the rain. Although it is your credit, I am at the Huang family after all, so I should thank the master."
After hearing this, the concierge felt it made sense, so he nodded slightly and said, "Well, after the rain stops, I can take you to see your wife."
Xi Yu felt relieved and sat aside and waited quietly for the rain to stop. The raindrops hit the ground with crackling sounds, splashing crystal water splashes.
Time passes slowly while waiting, and the rain gradually decreases.
After a while, the rain became much lighter, and Xi Yu hurriedly got up and asked the concierge to take him to see his wife.
The concierge agreed after hesitating and led Xi Yu on the way.
They passed a nine-curved corridor, which meandered windingly, carved beams and painted buildings, and raindrops dripped from the eaves of the corridor, making a crisp sound.
As their steps moved, they came to a wing room. Before they could approach, laughter and joy came from inside.
Xi Yu was slightly stunned and slowed down.
The doorman's face became a little unfavorable again, and he curled his lips gently.
When they approached the wing room and through the half-closed window, they saw Xu Dabao gently pounding a woman's back. The woman's face was full of joy. She was the lady of the Huang family so exquisite.
Xu Dabao had a flattering smile on his face, while Linglong closed his eyes and enjoyed the comfort of her, as if everything around her had nothing to do with them.
The concierge knocked on the door lightly and said respectfully: "Madam, someone is looking for it."
Linglong opened her eyes slightly and whispered to Xu Dabao to open the door.
Xu Dabao responded, put down his movements, got up and walked towards the door.
As the door slowly opened, Xi Yu glanced at Xu Dabao.
Sure enough, as the doorman said, Xu Dabao was born with a good face, fair face, beautiful eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he really looked like a little white face.
When Xu Dabao saw Xi Yu, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes and looked him up and down.
Xi Yu nodded slightly, saying hello.
Xu Dabao frowned, turned to Linglong and said, "Madam, he is a stranger."
Linglong was a little curious when she heard this and said, "Please come in."
Xi Yu walked into the wing room and felt very excited when he saw Linglong.
The woman in front of her was exactly the same as the one in the portrait, and he was almost certain that she was the princess of the Rest Kingdom.
Xi Yu calmed down and said, "Madam, I'm here to shelter from the rain. Although it was the gatekeeper who let me shelter from the rain, I must pay a visit to the master to express my gratitude."
Linglong smiled slightly and said, "You're welcome."
Her voice was gentle and gentle, like the breeze in spring. Then, she said, "Let me find a place to sit."
Xi Yu found a seat as he spoke, but his thoughts were surging in his heart.
Xi Yu sat down aside, not conscious of Xu Dabao's inner displeasure.
Xu Dabao was very unhappy. He felt that his wife was just giving in a moment, and he didn't expect that this person was so real. Linglong ordered: "Dabao, hurry up and get some tea."
Xi Yu was not polite, and did not stop Linglong's arrangement, which made Xu Dabao even more dissatisfied.
He gritted his teeth secretly, but did not dare to disobey Linglong's orders, so he had to prepare tea reluctantly.
Xu Dabao muttered in his heart as he walked that the arrival of this uninvited guest disrupted his originally peaceful time with Linglong, and he didn't know what purpose this person had.
While Xi Yu was sitting there, his mind was not on Xu Dabao at all. His eyes fell on Linglong from time to time, thinking about how to confirm her identity as Princess of Anxu Kingdom and how to act next.
After drinking a few sips of tea, Xi Yu put down the teacup and asked to chat with Mrs. Huang alone, and said that it was not suitable for the house. Seeing a pavilion outside, he suggested going there.
When Xu Dabao heard this, he angrily rebuked: "It's simply presumptuous!" He glared, his face full of anger and dissatisfaction.
Linglong raised her hand and signaled Xu Dabao not to say anything.
She looked at Xi Yu curiously and asked, "Why do you want to talk to me? What are you talking about?" Her eyes were full of doubt and vigilance.
Xi Yu pondered slightly, and said with a careful speech: "Madam, this matter is of great importance. I can only talk to you alone. Please believe that I have no malice."
Linglong frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he nodded.
"Okay, then go to the pavilion." She stood up and walked out slowly.
Although Xu Dabao was unwilling to do so, he did not dare to disobey Linglong's decision. He could only glar at Xi Yu fiercely and follow behind.
The three of them came to the pavilion. The rain had completely stopped and the air was filled with a fresh atmosphere.
Xi Yu looked at Linglong and said sincerely again: "Madam, I have indeed told you about important things this time. This matter is very confidential, and it may be better to talk alone."
Linglong pointed at Xu Dabao with a firm expression and said, "He is my confidant. With him by his side, there is no need to worry. You have something to say but it doesn't matter."
Xi Yu had no choice but to agree.
Linglong looked at Xi Yu and waited for him to speak. Xi Yu took a deep breath and said slowly: "Madam, I came here this time to confirm an extremely important thing. I heard that your appearance is very similar to that of the Princess of Anxu Kingdom. And I have been looking for the Princess of Anxu Kingdom..."
Linglong's face changed slightly when she heard this, and a trace of complex emotions flashed in her eyes.
She was silent for a moment and said, "Why are you looking for the Princess of the Rest Kingdom? Who are you?"
Xi Yu looked at Linglong and said solemnly: "Madam, this matter is a long story. I am entrusted by others to come to find the Princess of the Sabre Kingdom."
After hearing Xi Yu's words, Linglong chuckled and said, "It's such a joke. How could I be a princess?"
However, Xi Yu looked at her firmly and said, "Eyes cannot deceive people. When I asked, my wife's reaction was unusual. Although I didn't know what was happening here, I hope her wife can admit it."
Xi Yu stared at Mrs. Huang with her eyes tightly.
Linglong was very unhappy, her face darkened, and she said, "Your unreasonable guess is really annoying. I feel a little uncomfortable and I won't be with you."
As she said that, she was about to stand up and leave.
Seeing this, Xu Dabao hurriedly stepped forward to support Linglong, glared at Xi Yu fiercely, and said, "Why don't you get out of here? Madam is not feeling well and needs rest."
Xi Yu stood there, looking at Linglong's leaving back, his heart full of doubts and reluctance.
He knew that his guess must have touched some secrets deep in Linglong's heart, but why did she refuse to admit it? Xi Yu secretly made up his mind to figure out the reason.
Xi Yu looked at Linglong and Xu Dabao helplessly and spoke again
Xi Yu stood up and said, "Madam, since I have said this, I will not disturb you anymore and say goodbye first."
After saying that, he bowed slightly and turned around to leave.
Linglong looked at Xi Yu's departure back and suddenly felt an inexplicable uneasiness in her heart.
She hurried back to the room, and after a moment she came out, and ordered Xu Dabao: "Dabao, call him back to me."
Xu Dabao looked puzzled and asked, "Madam, why did you ask him to come back? This person came for no reason, his words were strange, and he might cause us trouble."
Linglong frowned slightly and said, "If you want to go, just go as I say."
Although Xu Dabao was unwilling to do so, he did not dare to disobey Linglong's orders, so he had to chase him out quickly and call Xi Yu.
"Hey, wait, Madam lets you go back."
Xi Yu stopped and followed Xu Dabao back to Linglong.
Xi Yu felt a little confident in his heart at this time. He raised his chin slightly and asked, "Is there anything else for Mrs. Huang? I have to go back quickly. There are still many things to do at home."
Linglong's eyes sterned, and then she said to Xi Yu: "You wait a moment."
Then she turned to look at Xu Dabao and ordered: "Dabao, you go back."
Xu Dabao was reluctant, but he could only respond: "Yes, madam."
He slowly retreated, but he did not go far, but quietly eavesdropped on the movement inside at the door.
Xi Yu stood there without saying a word.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Linglong asked, "Why don't you speak?"
Xi Yu said calmly: "Because someone is eavesdropping."
Linglong realized something abnormal outside, and she walked to the door and glared at Xu Dabao.
Seeing that Xu Dabao was discovered, he had to leave in disappointment.
Linglong returned to Xi Yu and said, "You can talk now."
Xi Yu raised his lips slightly, laughed, and said, "Madam, you called me back this time, why did you ask me what I want to say?"
Linglong coughed lightly, concealed her a little embarrassment, and then asked: "Who are you? Why do you say I am the Princess of the Silence Kingdom?"
Xi Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and asked back, "Since the wife is not the princess of Anxu Kingdom, why ask so many questions?"
Linglong was speechless for a moment. After a moment of silence, she said again: "You mentioned this for no reason, which forced me to ask clearly. If you don't explain it clearly, don't think about leaving today."
Xi Yu looked at Linglong's somewhat angry expression and laughed in his heart. He knew that he had successfully aroused Linglong's curiosity and tension.
He said slowly, "Madam, I am a gangster. I accidentally heard some rumors about Princess of the Sakura Kingdom. Madam, your appearance is very similar to the princess in the rumors, so I boldly guessed. As for why I pay so much attention to Princess of the Sakura Kingdom, I was entrusted by someone."
Linglong frowned and asked, "Are you entrusted by someone? Who are you entrusted by someone? What's you entrusted by someone?"
Xi Yu shook his head slightly and said, "Madam, this involves some confidential matters and cannot be informed of you for the time being. But I can assure you that I have no malice. If the Madam is really not the Princess of the Rest Kingdom, then this matter has nothing to do with the Madam. I will leave and will not disturb you anymore."
Linglong fell into deep thought, she didn't know whether she should believe Xi Yu's words.
Her heart was full of doubts and uneasiness. Who was this person who suddenly appeared? What was his purpose?
Suddenly, Linglong suddenly laughed, her smile was like a blooming flower in spring, bright but with a hint of elusive meaning.
"Since that's the case, let's not talk about this issue. It's a destiny to be here. Why not stay here first, so I can do my best to be a landlord."
Xi Yu felt a little moved, and he naturally understood that Linglong's move was not simply hospitality, and she was likely to have a murderous intention towards herself.
However, Xi Yu was not afraid, and he knew that staying here would better investigate the situation.
So he said frankly: "Since that's the case, I will stay. Thank you, Madam for your kindness."
Linglong nodded slightly and said, "Then I'll have someone prepare a room for you. I'll invite you to a banquet tonight."
Xi Yu also agreed readily.
He looked at Linglong, thinking about the possible situation in his heart, and was also alert to all the movements around him.
After Xi Yu was settled, Xu Dabao quickly learned about this. He hurried to Linglong and asked with confusion and worry on his face: "Madam, who is this person? Why should he keep him at home?"
Linglong frowned slightly and said firmly, "You don't worry about my decision."
When Xu Dabao heard this, he immediately pretended to be angry, with a grievance in his tone: "Madam, do you don't like me anymore?"
Seeing this, Linglong immediately comforted him and said gently: "How is this possible? Don't think about it."
She gently held Xu Dabao's hand, her eyes full of tenderness.
Xu Dabao was only a little relieved, but his vigilance towards Xi Yu was not reduced at all.
He thought to himself what kind of variables this sudden intrusion would bring to them.
After a while, Xu Dabao came to the doorman with a gloomy face and asked coldly: "Who is the person who sheltered from the rain? What is his purpose?"
The concierge looked confused and said quickly: "I don't know either, so I'm just a person coming to shelter from the rain."
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Xu Dabao's eyes and he warned coldly: "If this person really has any illegal purpose, I will not let you go." After that, he turned around and left.
The concierge looked at Xu Dabao's departure back and was very angry, cursing in his heart: "What's this thing? Relying on his wife's favor, he is so arrogant and domineering. Humph, when you have the chance, I will definitely make you look good."
The more the doorman thought about it, the more angry he became, but he had no choice but to pray in his heart that Xi Yu would not cause any trouble.
Soon, night fell, and the yard of the Huang family was brightly lit. Linglong arranged a sumptuous banquet to entertain Yu Yu.
Xu Dabao looked unhappy, but he had to take charge of the reception and sat down reluctantly.
At the banquet, Linglong smiled and kept persuading Xi Yu to drink.
Behind her gentle smile, there was an indescribable purpose - to get Ji Yu drunk and then talk from him.
Xi Yu looked at Linglong's passionate appearance and knew it in his heart, but he remained silent. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip occasionally, with a faint vigilance flashing in his eyes.
Xu Dabao sat aside with a gloomy face and glared at Xi Yu from time to time, as if he was blaming his appearance for destroying the original tranquility.
Xi Yu put down his wine glass, showed a humble smile on his face, and said, "You are polite, Madam, I came to shelter from the rain, but I didn't expect to be treated so kindly, so I was so flattered."
Linglong waved her hand slightly, smiled in her eyes, and said, "It's a guest from afar, and it's a welcome. You don't have to be polite, just enjoy it." Her voice was gentle and gentle, as if it could melt people's hearts.
Xi Yu said: "Madam, the Huang family is really extraordinary. I believe it is also a well-known and well-known family in this city."
