Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields

Chapter 165: Cui Shao Xi Enters the Village (2)

After a long time, Lian Li sighed heavily and then laughed.

The uneasy feeling in his heart slowly disappeared.

Young Master Su— oh, no, not Su.

This young man, his mother is the sister of Master Su, so naturally he was a member of the Su family!

Since he was part of the Su family, then he would be able to speak as a master of the Su family, right?

Therefore, his words on this matter were still valid, right?

“Haha!” Lian Li felt that he had figured it all out.
This young man must still have the same idea, so Lian Li’s mood was not uneasy but satisfied.

A gust of wind blew and Lian Li suddenly shivered.
He stomped his foot and said ‘oh’, before hurrying towards Lian Fang Zhou’s house.

It had suddenly occurred to him that Lian Fang Zhou was a wicked, sharp-mouthed girl, what if she slandered him and spoke ill of him in front of the young master?

He needed to hurry!

Cui Shao Xi jogged for a long time before he finally caught up with Lian Fang Zhou and the others.
He complained, panting: “Fang Zhou, I called you for so long, why didn’t you wait for me?”

Lian Fang Zhou glanced at him and said, “Did you finish talking to my uncle? How quick! My uncle treats you as a distinguished guest, didn’t he invite you to his house? You should go! Our poor family might not be able to entertain a guest like you!”

“Did something happen since I saw you last? Isn’t it okay for me to accompany you?” Cui Shao Xi said, really bending over for Lian Fang Zhou.

“I can’t afford that! Don’t mess around!” Lian Fang Zhou hurriedly avoided his words, startled.

Although she felt resentful and dissatisfied, she was not confused.

What was Cui Shao Xi’s identity and what was hers? Just talk about his relationship to the Su family, she can’t receive such a big gift from him?

“Then you aren’t angry?” Cui Shao Xi quickly asked.
Seeing her eyebrows raise with annoyance, he hurriedly smiled: “Sorry, sorry! Can’t I apologize if I’m wrong? I really don’t know what happened!”

Lian Ze couldn’t help but say, “You still don’t know? Didn’t you tell my uncle that we should leave the cotton planting to him to take charge of? After you left, my uncle and aunt ran to us.
They went to my house to force my sister to give them the money and land deeds! My sister didn’t give it, no matter how awful they spoke, so they tried to calculate against us!”

As Lian Ze said, it was him that had given Lian Li and Madam Qiao the courage to make trouble, taking the opportunity to rush into their house.

“Is this true?” Cui Shao Xi asked, his face ugly as he frowned.
“How could they do this kind of thing? They are your elders! If he hadn’t acted like an elder of your family, I wouldn’t have gone to his house! Really— when did I say that?”

Cui Shao Xi was so annoyed that he shoved his hat on his head, thinking hard.
Suddenly, he slapped his forehead, “Ah! I remember, I didn’t say this! It is obvious that he misunderstood me! He said that you were young and might not be able to do such a thing so he should take care of you as your elder.
I nodded and said that this was so.
Thinking about it, he misinterpreted my words…”

Cui Shao Xi’s face was very ugly.

“Just so!” Lian Fang Zhou sighed, glancing at him.
She said: “Don’t push everything on him, he mistakenly thinks that you are Young Master Su, why didn’t you deny it?” Even if he denied it now, it wasn’t like it hadn’t happened.

“I, I… just didn’t think it mattered, so…” Cui Shao Xi felt a little guilty.
He paused and then grit his teeth: “If I had known if would cause so much trouble, I would have made it clear!”

Lian Ze snorted heavily after hearing this.

Pitifully, Cui Shao Xi said, “Fang Zhou, I’m sorry!”

Lian Fang Zhou sighed softly and said lightly, “Forget it, don’t mention it now that the matter is over! But when he comes, you have to be responsible for telling him clearly! There really is nothing good about my family.
It’s not where you can stay, so just sit down and then leave!”

In the end, he was a relative of the Su family and Lian Fang Zhou couldn’t really turn his face.
Moreover, his actions were unintentional and he had apologized, it won’t be good to hold onto it until his death.

“Naturally! Definitely!” Cui Shao Xi’s spirits rose and he quickly agreed with a smile, saying strangely: “Are you so sure that he will come back again?”

Lian Fang Zhou smiled and said, “Of course, otherwise how can he relax?”

“Relax?” Cui Shao Xi was even more confused.

“That’s right!” Lian Fang Zhou said solemnly, “He must be very worried, worried that I will speak ill of him in front of you!”

Cui Shao Xi’s mouth opened slightly, taken aback.

As she spoke, they reached the door of Lian Fang Zhou’s house.
She raised her hand and smiled pleasantly, gesturing.
“This is my house, please come in.”

“Okay! Please, after you!” Cui Shao Xi smiled, following her inside.

Cui Yi ordered the coachman to wait outside with the carriage and went in after them.

“Sister! Second brother! Brother Ah Jian, you are back!” Lian Fang Qing’s delicate and crisp voice called out as they entered and she stepped out of the side room, smiling.

In the blink of an eye, Lian Fang Qing registered that there were two extra people and her beautiful eyes widened, her mouth dropping slightly.

Amazement was written all over her small face.
Maybe she didn’t understand why she was amazed, but the expression on her face was clear.

Today, Cui Shao Xi’s thick hair was tied up and the inky locks cascaded down from the top of his head like a waterfall.
He was wearing a moon-white silver flower patterned coat over a white and snow-blue bamboo patterned round-necked robe.
His belt was snowy cyan and inlaid with a sheep fat jade center piece with a bi-colored fish pendant over a sapphire embroidered sachet adorned with tassels.
His long body was like a beautiful piece of jade, clean and elegant, with an outstanding style.

No matter who saw him, they would be so shocked they couldn’t remove their eyes.

Lian Fang Zhou couldn’t help but laugh silently.
How old was this girl to already know how to appreciate beautiful men?

It was just that -cough, cough-, the little girl’s gaze was too bold!

Lian Fang Zhou couldn’t help but glance at Cui Shao Xi and smiled when she saw him looking helpless and embarrassed.

“Sister!” Lian Fang Qing cried, rushing over as she stared at Cui Shao Xi with her big, beautiful, clear eyes.
She asked, “Who is this beautiful big brother!”

TN: Hohoho? Maybe CSX ends up with Ling Fang Qing when she’s older? That’d be kinda cute.
Anyone noticed that CSX wears a lot of blues and greens? Peacock!
