Chapter sixty two

Li Xu never took the initiative to ask Yu Yu about his family background, and Yu Yu had never mentioned these things in front of Li Xu. So at this moment, when he heard Song Yu mention that the empress dowager of the dynasty was also surnamed Song, he couldn't help but think of the Song family.

However, when thinking about Yu Yu's identity as a princess, it was nothing strange that the Song family had a queen mother.

Now I know that Yu Yu's uncle is the magistrate of Sanshui County and his third uncle is the magistrate of Yaozhou. I don't know where her father and another uncle are.

However, if there was a queen mother who was the backer of the current dynasty, she would not have a low position.

Li Xu's predecessor was just a concubine's son from a country landlord family. He had no impression of all the big men in the court. If he was born in any family of officials, he would definitely be able to guess which big men were from the surname Song family.

Song Yu and his wife were very easy-going and chatting with Li Xu. Mrs. Song also picked up food for Li Xu from time to time, and the atmosphere was as relaxed and pleasant as a family meal.

Song Yu was a poet and knowledgeable person, and had no airs of a fourth-rank magistrate in his conversation and laughter. His words were funny and humorous, which made everyone laugh from time to time.

Li Xu also smiled on his face, but he sighed in his heart that Song Yu had a strong personality charm and could develop a sense of closeness and trust in him in just a short time when he first met.

Many superiors have their own strong personal charm. This charm has nothing to do with status and identity, and mainly comes from a kind of demeanor formed by a combination of their own cultivation and character, and their speech and behavior.

The personal charm released by this kind of demeanor is obviously more likely to be disappointed than those who rely solely on their status to pretend.

Li Xu was very low-key at the banquet. Although he looked relaxed, he always acted very politely.

After everyone had a few bites of vegetables to cushion her stomach, Li Xu took the initiative to get up and pour wine, and toasted Song Yu the first cup.

After Song Yu, who was smiling, nodded and drank it all, he filled a cup and gave it to Mrs. Song with his hands.

Mrs. Song looked at Li Xu's respectful look, giggled, reached out to take it, and drank it all in one generous manner.

Li Xu looked at Yu Yu again, but Yu Yu shook his head repeatedly, saying that he would not drink.

Li Xu knew that this little girl must have pretended to be a good girl in front of her elders, and did not make things difficult for her. She directly filled the wine glasses in front of everyone, then stood up and said, "The cup just now was for the envoy and the wife, but this cup was for the younger generation to pay tribute to the two elders."

Song Yu and his wife looked at each other and smiled and said, "Young man is always talking about drinking, but it seems that you can't do it if you don't drink it."

After the three of them toasted, Mrs. Song smiled and said, "Since the little husband has just given us wine as a junior, then don't call him Madam Jun again from now on. Just call him Uncle and Aunt Third, just like Xiao Yuer."

Yu Yu blushed when he heard this and looked at Li Xu secretly. Li Xu replied with a handsome smile, and then said to Song Yu and his wife openly: "My nephew Li Xu has met his third uncle and third aunt."

Song Yu said happily: "Okay, okay, I didn't expect that we would have such a handsome and well-behaved nephew, and we would have to drink a few more drinks today."

Yu Yu stared at Li Xu with wide eyes, as if surprised by his unconventional change.

Li Xu replied with a generous smile. What is integrity? Holding one's thighs is the most important thing.

Although he would not naively think that when he called this, Song Yu and his wife could treat themselves as their own nephews, they would definitely be more natural and comfortable when they get along with each other. After that, the relationship gradually deepened, and not the whole family would become a family.

People with sweet-mouthed words will not suffer any loss anywhere.

In essence, most modern people are realists. As long as they are beneficial to me, it doesn’t matter if they call uncle or dad.

Things like moral integrity have long been thrown into unknown corners.

Wine is such a good thing. After drinking a few glasses of wine, the coldest place can gradually become warmer. Not to mention that the politeness and obedience shown by Li Xu is more intoxicating than the imperial wine in the pot. The smile on the faces of Song Yu and his wife never disappeared.

After three rounds of drinking, Song Yu asked about Li Xu's rescue of Yu Yu and his pacification of Ma Tianlu of Wild Boar Ridge.

The former is mainly described by the rescued Yu Yu, and Li Xu is responsible for supplementing it.

Although Yu Yu spoke straightforwardly, he also heard Mrs. Song’s face full of worry. Especially when he heard that the female guard next to Yu Yu was actually a spy from Wei, he was even more scared. He patted his plump breasts and scolded angrily: “These Wei people are so hateful, they are simply omnipresent. When I asked you to go back to your grandmother’s house to avoid disaster, I didn’t expect that these Wei dogs had been thinking about it for so many years. If Xiao Yuer had not been alert and Brother Xu appeared in time, the consequences would be unimaginable.”

Song Yu's face also became serious and said, "After Xiaoyu's abductee happened, the eldest and second brothers have begun to investigate all the families, their deeds and people around him these days. The Wei people have been thinking about it for so many years, so they will definitely not focus on Xiaoyu. The guard maids around Xiaoyu must carefully choose the future and will not give Wei people a chance."

Yu Yu chuckled and said, "Uncle San, Aunt San, I'm fine, don't be so nervous. Besides, I'm very safe with Brother Xu by my side."

Song Yu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. He looked at Li Xu, picked up the wine glass and said, "Brother Xu, thank you for saving Xiaoyuer for this glass of wine. As your third aunt said, if you hadn't taken action in time, the consequences would be really unimaginable. This matter not only involves the safety of Xiaoyuer alone, but also involves the safety of the entire Song family, and even the safety of our Daqin. Today, my eldest brother and second brother are not here, so I will treat you on their behalf and the entire Song family."

As he said that, Song Yu actually stood up, holding his hands and said seriously.

Li Xu had no choice but to stand up and said, "Uncle San, it's just a coincidence that I saved Xiaoyuer. Besides, the spies of Wei State, everyone in the Qin Dynasty killed him when I saw him, but I just happened to catch up. If not, I wouldn't have the chance to have a girl like Uncle San and Aunt, or Xiaoyuer, so it's my luck to say that. So, I should toast you this glass of wine."

Seeing that Li Xu was so modest and well-behaved, Song Yu and his wife had a better impression of him.

Mrs. Song smiled and advised, "Don't respect your uncle and nephew, just have this cup just to do it. Since Brother Xu called us to call us third uncle and third aunt and saved Xiaoyuer, then we can help more in his future in the future. It would be boring to say these empirical words that thank you."

Song Yu was like a stream of good deeds. After clinking glasses with Li Xu, he drank them all in one go, and Li Xu naturally drank them all in one go.

Although the imperial wine in this palace is not as warm and fragrant as the white wine in my previous life, it is soft and smooth, with a delicate taste, making people feel aftertaste.

But no matter how good the wine is in ancient times, it was like that. For Li Xu, no matter how much he drank, he didn't feel drunk, so his mind was always in a very clear state.

He wouldn't take it seriously in the scene, nor would Song Yu take it seriously, and he might even observe himself in the barbecue and make his own words.

When Li Xu was working as a human resources manager in a company in his previous life, the company recruited a new marketing director. That night, the boss organized a dinner for all employees, ostensibly to welcome the new director to join.

The boss pretended to persuade him to drink at first, but the director performed abnormally after drinking a few glasses of wine, and lost all kinds of qualities. He eventually vomited so much that he crawled under the table.

As a result, the next day, the boss notified Li Xu to let the new director get out.

Therefore, Li Xu would not easily believe that a fourth-rank magistrate would really trust him like an ordinary person just because he saved his niece's life.

After putting down the wine glass, Song Yu took a bite of the dish and asked unintentionally after eating: "It's not difficult for Brother Xu to take the Wu Ju exam. Tomorrow I can write a letter to Li Zhijin, the commander of the state, so that he can take care of you. However, after having the identity of a Wu Ju, if Brother Xu wants to join the Imperial Guard or take a job in the state army, it's okay."

Li Xu understood that Song Yu meant that if he wanted to join the Imperial Guard or the State Army, he could do it.

However, Li Xu shook his head and said, "Thank you, Uncle San. I still want to go back to Sanshui County. Not to mention that I have agreed to Uncle Liu, I just say that Sanshui County is my hometown and I should go back too."

Song Yu advised: "I know you have a sincere heart, but according to the news I received, Gao Huzi of Yan'an Prefecture may soon send troops south. By then, Sanshui County will definitely be the first to be affected. If you are willing to stay in the state or want to go to the Imperial Army in the capital, I will tell you about other things. With your ability and so smart, you will definitely have a good future in the future. And in this way, you will have more opportunities to meet Xiao Yuer."

Li Xu still shook his head and said, "Uncle San, I am really moved by your kindness. However, the master who taught me martial arts said that a real man does something and does not do anything. I came out of my home to defend my hometown. If the thief attacked me, I would avoid other places and feel really uneasy. Besides, a real man should make achievements and take it from the battlefield. How can he rely solely on the protection of his elders?"

Speaking of this, Li Xu glanced at Yu Yu, smiled slightly and said, "I think Xiaoyuer can understand me too."
