Chapter 1135: Love in a Dream
Xiao Heng is not in a good mood now.
As Xiao Huanzhang's nephew, Xiao Heng has also gained Xiao Huanzhang's trust and respect over the years. Many secret matters were sent to Xiao Heng himself.
But Xiao Heng didn't find it very pleasant.
Among Xiao Huanzhang's relatives, there are not many talents who can truly be the ones, but Xiao Heng is one of them who can do some things. As the saying goes, those who can do more work, Xiao Heng did do a lot of things for Xiao Huanzhang to run around.
However, Xiao Heng always had a knot in his heart. Although he did many things for Xiao Huanzhang, he seemed not to receive corresponding rewards. Until now, he only had a title in the Beishan Ministry of Personnel. Perhaps because Xiao Huanzhang felt that Xiao Heng was his nephew and did not treat him as an outsider, he was inevitably neglected sometimes. However, seeing that Xiao Huanzhang's two sons held important positions in Beishan, the two sons of the Xiao family were far inferior to themselves compared to their talents, but they could enjoy their success.
This time, Xiao Heng was really up and down when he came to Shuoquan. He really didn't want to do this job, but Xiao Huanzhang couldn't expect him to be Xiao Heng, but once there was an emergency, Xiao Huanzhang would definitely let Xiao Heng take over.
Whether this trip to Shuoquan can go back alive is still unknown.
Xiao Heng had a complicated thought. There was a person in the Governor's Mansion. Xiao Heng's handsome face immediately showed a friendly smile and bowed: "Brother Qi, I wonder if the Governor is in the mansion?"
He knew that the person in front of him was the captain of the guard team beside Chu Huan. He said "Big Brother" and seemed humble and could bring closeness to each other. After so many years of dealing with people, Xiao Heng knew how to get closer to others faster.
"Governor is in the mansion." Qi Hong said expressionlessly.
Xiao Heng smiled and said, "It seems that I'm here today!"
"That may not be." Qi Hong shook his head.
Xiao Heng was stunned, and Qi Hong had already said, "Although Duke Chu is in the mansion, he doesn't want to see you!" His voice was very cold and he had a bad face, as if Xiao Heng owed him a lot of debts and never paid them back.
If it were someone else, it would be difficult to laugh at this time, but Xiao Heng could still laugh and bowed: "I understand Chu Du's mood and your dissatisfaction. But this time I came here to explain the misunderstanding and came with sincerity."
"I am a rough man, and I can't see any sincerity." Qi Hong shook his head and said, "Young Master Xiao, let's go first." He called Xiao Heng "Young Master" and not "Grand Master", that was not even recognized by Xiao Heng's official identity.
Xiao Heng sighed and said, "Brother Qi, the northwest is now in turmoil, and bandits are rising...!"
Qi Hong frowned and interrupted, "Young Master Xiao, please forgive me for being a rough man. The northwest is turbulent and the riots are rising. What does it have to do with you coming to pay homage to Duke Chu?"
"The rioters ravaged the people, Beishan and Xiguan are one. The Chu governor quelled the civil turmoil in Xiguan. The world is happy. First, I want to congratulate the governor Chu, and secondly, it is my uncle's order. I came to explain some things to the governor Chu, and by the way, discuss how to eliminate the rioters in the next step and give peace to the people in the northwest."
Qi Hong seemed to understand, but Xiao Heng thought he had moved Qi Hong and said sincerely: "Brother Qi, please report it again, but today there is an urgent matter to see the governor Chu."
Qi Hong thought for a while and finally said, "Young Master Xiao, wait first, I'll report it."
"Have some work!"
This time Qi Hong went, Xiao Heng waited for more than half an hour. Xiao Heng thought to himself, even if you run around the Governor's Mansion for ten laps, it doesn't have to take so long. Just as you were a little impatient, frowning, when you saw Qi Hongzheng swaying over, you immediately smiled and went forward. Before you could speak, Qi Hong had already said, "Mr. Xiao, I have reported your sincerity to Duke Chu, and Duke Chu still remembers you..."
Xiao Heng was happy on his face and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, the governor of Chu came to Shuoquan to take office. I have the honor of meeting with the governor of Chu..."
"Duke Chu wants to hear what you said, but he is discussing major events with his officers and will not be able to see you for a while." Qi Hong hesitated for a moment and finally said: "If Mr. Xiao is unwilling to wait, he can go back first and come to see you another day. If he has to wait, it may take some time."
"Director Chu is busy with official duties, so he is diligent in his work and loving the people. I naturally have to wait."
"Since that's the case, Mr. Xiao will follow me." Qi Hong turned around and said, "You can go to the mansion to have a cup of tea first. When Chu Du is free, I will take you to see him."
Xiao Heng bowed repeatedly, "Work and work!"
Qi Hong took him to a side hall in the mansion, and asked someone to make tea. He sat with Xiao Heng for a while. Suddenly he thought of something and said, "Young Master Xiao first, I have some things to deal with. You will not be disturbed by anyone here. Once the matter is over, Chu will see you. Please be careful not to be impatient."
"Brother Qi is going to work hard, I'll wait for Director Chu here!"
After Qi Hong retreated, Xiao Heng took the teacup and took a sip. He looked around and found that the layout in the hall was very simple, but it was very clean. It was just that there was a dead silence inside and outside the hall, which seemed extremely deserted.
Xiao Heng sat for a while, waiting a little impatiently, but saw a pretty and beautiful little maid coming in from outside and said respectfully to Xiao Heng: "I will give you tea to the young master!"
Xiao Heng smiled gracefully, and the little maid poured tea into Xiao Heng's cup. Xiao Heng kept staring at her face. The little maid seemed to notice it, and her face flushed. Xiao Heng saw that there was no one around and laughed softly, "What's your name?"
"Well, my servant's name is Yinxiang!"
"Yinxiang?" Xiao Heng smiled and said, "Good name..." He actually touched the little maid's hand gently with one hand. The little maid's body trembled and hurriedly shrank his hand. With a "clang" sound, the teacup in Xiao Heng's hand had already fallen to the ground and smashed it.
"Ah, I deserve to die, I deserve to die, my son, don't blame me, I should deal with it now, I deserve to die..." The little maid Yin Xiang was extremely frightened and apologized repeatedly, and had already kneeled down to clean up the residue.
Xiao Heng bent down and said softly: "Are you hot? It's not your fault, I broke it myself, it has nothing to do with you."
His eyes were as charming as stars. The little maid looked up and looked at each other. Her pretty face immediately turned red. She lowered her head and said softly: "You are so beautiful, you shouldn't do such heavy work..."
The little maid lowered her head, bit her red lips, and whispered: "I... I am the one who serves people..."
"Human destiny is not destined by heaven, it depends on oneself to change it." Xiao Heng sighed lightly: "You are so beautiful, it will definitely make many people excited..."
"Young Master...Young Master is joking..." The little maid seemed to have never received such praise from others, and her head was lowered.
Xiao Heng glanced outside the door, confirmed that there was no one, reached out, poked out a finger, and gently lifted it on Yinxiang's pointed jaw. Yinxiang was shocked and wanted to dodge, but Xiao Heng said in an extremely gentle voice: "Don't move, let me see, I'm not a bad person."
His voice was like water, extremely soft. Yinxiang really didn't dodge. Xiao Heng's fingers raised her face. This face was not beautiful. She was 600% beautiful, better than young and handsome. But Xiao Heng seemed to be shocked and said in a lost voice: "So... it's you?"
Yinxiang was stunned, blinked her eyes and asked, "Young Master, what did you say?"
"It's so similar." Xiao Heng didn't seem to hear Yin Xiang's question, his eyes flashed, and he sighed: "Yin Xiang, do you know that I have always had a dream. There was a fragrant flower in the dream that floated to the sky and turned into a girl. She was extremely beautiful. I have always made a wish to marry the girl in the dream. But I always thought it was just a dream, and now I know that it was real...!"
Yinxiang said blankly: "Young Master, what you said, I... I don't understand..."
"Yinxiang, you look exactly the same as the girl in my dream." Xiao Heng's eyes were filled with joy, "By the way, your name is Yinxiang, Yinxiang... Huaxiang..." He was excited and actually grabbed Yinxiang's hand, "Yinxiang, it's you, you are the girl in my dream, I can find you..."
Yinxiang looked stunned, until Xiao Heng held her hand tightly, she finally came to her senses, hurriedly broke free, and said tremblingly: "Young Master, you... you misunderstood. I am just a servant, not... not the fairy in your dream..."
Xiao Heng shook his head and said, "I believe that love is destined by God. There are so many servants in the Governor's Office. Why did you come to me today... This is God's will, Yinxiang, I want to marry you!"
Yinxiang's face was full of incredible expressions and could not speak for a moment. Xiao Heng hurriedly asked, "Yinxiang, don't you believe me?"
Yinxiang finally came to her senses. Her white face was red at this time, and she lowered her head, "Young Master, you...you made fun of Yinxiang..."
"Yinxiang, do you know who I am?"
"I don't know." Yinxiang shook her head and said, "You are the master's guest, you must be a noble person!"
"I am the nephew of the Governor of Beishan." Xiao Heng said seriously: "I have not been married yet. The reason is to look for the fairy in my dream, Yinxiang, you are the fairy in my dream, and I finally found you."
Yinxiang was caught off guard, obviously not expecting such a dramatic scene. She seemed to be in a hurry. She knelt down again, lowered her head, and hurriedly cleaned up the remains of the teacup, "Young Master, you... I don't understand what you said, I..." But she didn't know what to say.
Xiao Heng said softly: "Yinxiang, I know you can't accept it for the moment. I live in Xinglong Inn three streets across here. My name is Xiao Heng. It's easy to find me. If you believe me, go find me..."
"I...I won't go, I'm just a servant..." Yin Xiang didn't dare to look up.
"You are not a natural servant." Xiao Heng said: "I want to marry you. After we get married, you will be the wife of the official family and the noble lady, with glory and wealth, and will be flawless in your life!"
