Chapter 212 Brother Xu
Chapter 212 Brother Xu
"Right, right, right." Xu Shu immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing and said quickly, "Even if Xiao Mujin is old enough, she is still a middle-aged woman."
"Uh," Xu Shu felt something was wrong, "Middle-aged Brother Xu?"
"What are you talking about?" Mu Jinghua was so angry that he laughed, "I don't understand."
Xu Shu sighed, "Even if I praise you for your still charming appearance, you are only eighteen this year. Even if you are old and ugly, you are still my ancestor's old and ugly."
"But other people say that a man is in his prime at 31." Mu Jinghua snorted.
"Thirty?" Xu Shu was unhappy again, "Little Mujin, I'm not even thirty yet!"
Mu Jinghua laughed after hearing this, and Xu Shu was so angry that he pinched his face.
The two of them made a fuss in the sedan for a while, and then they heard Ah Xi say outside: "Master, we're here."
Mu Jinghua's face suddenly darkened, and he looked at Xu Shu awkwardly, but Xu Shu smiled: "It's okay, go down and take a look, I'm here."
Mu Jinghua had no choice but to nod, and nervously pulled Xu Shu: "Do I look ugly? My eyes are swollen, right..."
"What's wrong with that?" Xu Shu kissed him, "You're my wife, and I just need to think you're pretty."
"What is a wife?" Mu Jinghua wanted to ask, but Xu Shu had already lifted the curtain and walked down. Mu Jinghua hurriedly followed him, but when he lifted the curtain, he realized that this was not Qiaonan Village at all, but the mahjong parlor next to Muyi Building.
"I'll take you out to relax." Xu Shu pinched his nose, "Let Qiao Wan deal with those people."
"Qiao Wan?" Mu Jinghua thought of what Qiao Wan said this morning and became a little nervous again. "Is this okay?"
"It's okay," Xu Shu pulled him towards the mahjong parlor, "They took Qi Huairen with them."
Mu Jinghua hummed and wanted to say something else, but Jing Yang came up to him and said happily, "The two masters are here, please come in. It just so happens that Master Jiang Yu is here today as well."
Jing Yang looked at Xu Shu and whispered, "He brought that person with him. There are only two of them. They have opened a private room upstairs."
Xu Shu immediately understood what he meant: "You want me to go up and take a look?"
Jingyang Lian said he dared not, and then said: "Sir, there are just two people over there, Jiang Yu, who are just right."
Xu Shu understood what he meant, but did not refuse. Instead, he looked at Mu Jinghua and said, "Shall we share a table with Jiang Yu?"
Although Muyi Building and the Mahjong Hall were very close to each other, Mu Jinghua had never met Jiang Yu twice. Most of the time he just heard Xu Shu talk about him, and he barely knew that he was a young man with a good temper.
He was actually quite interested in Jiang Yu. After all, he was the largest merchant in Yuzhou. Although his assets were not as great as Qin Lianxi's, as the son of a merchant, his ability to reach such a high level showed his strength.
Mu Jinghua agreed without thinking, and Jing Yang couldn't wait to pull them to the private room.
Before he knocked on the door, he heard Jiang Yu's accusation from inside: "We've known each other for so many years, and now that I'm jealous, you won't even look at me? This is really a mistake..."
"There's someone outside the door." A lukewarm voice interrupted his accusation.
Jiang Yu stopped talking, looked outside the door, and cleared his throat, "But Master Xu is outside?"
Xu Shu didn't have the habit of eavesdropping, but it didn't count if he was careless, so he said with a smile, "Sorry to bother you?"
Jiang Yu coughed awkwardly and slowly opened the door for them, but Xu Shu saw the young man behind him at a glance.
The guy looked as if he didn't care about the world. When they came over, he didn't even raise his eyes and just sat at the table drinking tea.
However, Xu Shu recognized this person at a glance. It was Nan Gui, whom he had bumped into at Chen Hu's house that year.
Xu Nangui.
I didn't expect him to be here.
Xu Shu couldn't help but sigh, it was inevitable that he had to watch others for a long time.
Xu Nangui felt his gaze and finally looked up. When he saw it was Xu Shu, he shook the tea in his hand, then stood up and looked at Xu Shu: "Are you...Xu Shu?"
Xu Shu nodded. Seeing that he was dressed in gorgeous clothes and neatly dressed, he smiled and said, "I'm doing well lately."
Unexpectedly, Xu Nangui glanced at Jiang Yu and shook his head: "It's not good to be trapped by others."
Then he looked at Mu Jinghua who seemed a little confused: "Brother Mu, we are just nodding acquaintances."
Mu Jinghua then understood. It seemed that Xu Shu didn't tell him because he thought it was unimportant.
Jiang Yu didn't quite believe it. He and Xu Nangui had known each other for some time, and it was rare to see Xu Nangui like this. He couldn't even hold the tea steadily. It was obvious that Xu Shu still had some importance in his heart. Of course, his importance was definitely not as important as his.
It's just...
"It's a long story." Xu Shu understood Jiang Yu's expression at a glance. After all, there was Jing Yang, a Jiang Yu fanatic, in the mahjong hall. Xu Shu was almost influenced by him and became "a hard-mouthed fan who knows everything even if he is not a fan."
Jiang Yu was also smart. After meeting Xu Shu's gaze, he smiled and said, "There are four of us. Let's play mahjong and chat while we talk."
The four of them sat down, and Jing Yang eagerly brought the fruit plate. Just as he was about to say a few words, Jiang Yu urged him, "You go down first."
Jing Yang covered his eyes and responded aggrievedly. He looked at Xu Nangui again before turning around and leaving.
Xu Shu started to wash the mahjong tiles, and while doing so he told the story of how he met Xu Nangui.
There was nothing to hide, but Xu Shu still concealed everything he saw, saying only that he saw Chen Hu kidnap Xu Nangui.
Jiang Yu hummed indifferently and played a card: "Get rich."
Mu Jinghua followed suit and threw a card: "Dongfeng."
Xu Shu also threw a Dongfeng and looked at Mu Jinghua: "I was worried that Chen Hu would harm you when I was not at home, but I didn't expect Chao Lin to appear and reattach his legs after they were broken."
"It still caused you to suffer."
Xu Nangui also threw out a card, and it was Jiang Yu's turn again: "The Chao Lin you mentioned who can set bones, isn't he the one under General Qiao's command?"
Xu Shu nodded: "This guy is quite capable."
"Most doctors treat the body but not the mind. Even if he has great skills, he can still..."
Suddenly, there was a huge roar from the sky, and it turned out to be thunder.
Jiang Yu laughed after hearing this: "It can't cure the panic among the people now."
Jiang Yu obviously had something else in his words, but when Xu Shu asked again, he refused to reveal it.
After they played a few rounds of mahjong, Jiang Yu lost all his money and immediately waved his hand, saying he didn't want to play anymore.
Xu Shu saw that Mu Jinghua was happy, so it didn't matter whether he played or not. The sky was getting dark and it would rain soon, so it would be better to go back early.
But before leaving, Jiang Yu grabbed Xu Shu and whispered, "Be careful of Qiao Jianhong."
Mu Jinghua was also nearby, and when he heard him say this, he couldn't help but feel confused.
Xu Shu didn't understand either and wanted to ask, but Jiang Yu pulled Xu Nangui out.
Xu Nangui has always been a man of few words. Compared to him, Mu Jinghua is considered to be very lively.
Even towards Xu Shu, the so-called savior, his attitude was equally cold. It was just that he couldn't hold the cup steadily at the beginning.
He didn't even have the enthusiasm to walk up to Xu Shu, and the best respect he could show was to stand up and ask a question.
But even Xu Nangui reminded Xu Shu before leaving: "Be careful."
