Chapter 788: Entering the Huang family(1/2)
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
