Chapter 159: The Simon Family's Family Affairs
Wu Yong looked at Ximenqing's familiar appearance, and asked a little curiously: "You won't have done it here before, right?"
Ximenqing shook his head: "No, but I opened this store myself." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info "This is my own source of private money, the crude medicine shop belongs to the family, and the income is mainly used by Ximen Qing to maintain the personal contacts of the Ximen family."
Wu Yong: "No wonder you want to come here to invite us to dinner, it turns out that the fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders." ”
Ximenqing did not deny this: "Even if I come here to eat, I will pay, otherwise it will be difficult for the store to keep accounts." ”
Ximen Qing asked Xiao Er, who was waiting outside the private seat, to come in and explain the dishes they wanted to eat today.
Xiao Er still knew this owner, and he went down quickly, and after a while, the shopkeeper here came up to find Ximenqing.
The shopkeeper mainly came to ask Ximenqing if there was anything going on, but he didn't intend to disturb them to eat.
Ximenqing confessed: "There is nothing to do when you come over today, you explain, don't let people disturb you, I invite friends to dinner today." ”
The shopkeeper glanced at Wu Yong and them, and he didn't dare to stare at them, so he obediently went down to do things, the identity of his own friend's friend didn't look low, and the momentum was a little amazing.
After Ximen Qing's door was closed, he spoke to Wu Yong and them again.
Ximenqing: "Dao Chief, you can help me calculate now, my Peach Blossom Tribulation is still there, and I am about to grow grass when I stay at home." ”
Gongsun Sheng nodded and calculated a hexagram for him, in fact, Gongsun Sheng knew that it had passed, because someone had received it on his behalf, so Ximen Qi could be regarded as doing a good thing, otherwise, this matter fell on Ximen Qing, and the result was not so good.
Gongsun Sheng put away the tortoise shell: "It's over, but you'd better continue to cultivate yourself, otherwise this calamity will come back at any time." Gongsun Sheng thought of his previous virtue, and still warned him a little.
Ximen Qing thanked him for his kindness: "Don't worry, I will definitely be obedient, as long as I can let me out." "Ximen Qing still has a lot of trust in Gongsun Sheng's ability to go out, and now after getting permission to go out, the whole person is much more relaxed.
It just so happened that Xiao Er brought someone over to serve the food, so they stopped talking and prepared to eat.
Wu Yong found that although Ximenqing also ordered a few pure meat dishes this time, the rest were half meat and half vegetarian.
Wu Yong was finally able to use chopsticks a few more times.
Ximenqing was naturally very happy to see that they were eating well, because it was already night, and Ximenqing asked Xiao Er to bring a bottle of wine.
After asking Wu Yong if they didn't drink, he began to pour himself a drink, and at the same time chatted with Wu Yong and them: "Where have you all been lately? I haven't seen you enter or leave the yamen." ”
Wu Yong: "Isn't it almost autumn harvest, we and the county order have gone to the countryside, are your taxes ready?"
Ximenqing: "It's been ready for a long time, just waiting for you to collect it." ”
Wu Yong: "That's good, does this Ximenqi incident have any impact on you?"
Ximenqing said: "It's okay, my uncle has always looked down on me, I can mention it to him at most, let him do the rest by himself, I am thankless to save it." ”
Wu Yong nodded: "It's okay if it doesn't matter, I'm going to leave here after the autumn harvest, have you ever thought about living in a different place?"
Ximenqing: "This is estimated to be a bit difficult, my family's relationship is basically here, and it doesn't matter if you go to other places for a short time to play, but if you really want to move, you can't." ”
Ximenqing was curious: "Do you agree that I will follow you then?"
Wu Yong shook his head: "Not yet, I originally planned to invite you to settle in the capital, since you don't want to, forget it." ”
Ximenqing is still self-aware: "There are too many powerful people in the capital, where is it comfortable here." ”
At the end of this meal, Ximen Qing was already a little drunk, Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng were not worried that he would go back alone, worried that he would be put in a sack on the way, so the two of them sent him back together.
At the door of his house, he saw a middle-aged man with gray hair, and Wu Yong reminded Ximenqing: "Who is this person? ”
Ximenqing distinguished for a while, and then drunkenly walked over and asked, "Uncle, what wind blew you here?"
He glanced at Ximenqing with disgust: "I know how to drink all day long, when can you let me see your sober appearance, who are these two? I have something to say to my nephew, can you go back first?"
Ximenqing's uncle Ximen Sheng spoke more politely, but he really didn't like Ximenqing.
Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng sent Ximenqing to the door, and signaled the servants who didn't dare to come at the door to come over and hold Ximenqing: "Then let's go back first, you can talk to your uncle." ”
Ximenqing knew that the next scene might not be good-looking, so he didn't leave them: "Be careful on your own road." With a bit of a big tongue, Wu used them to distinguish carefully before he understood.
Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng nodded at Ximen Sheng, then turned around and left.
The servant took Ximen Qing to the main hall and sat down, served him a decanting soup, and after seeing that he had finished drinking, he served him a strong cup of tea, and then closed the door and stood far away.
Ximenqing scraped the edge of the teacup with the tea lid, and did not speak, making up his mind to wait for his uncle, who was rare to come to the door, to speak first.
Ximen Sheng still loved his son in the end, and he rarely gave in: "Your cousin hasn't come back yet, you help me take someone to find it." ”
Ximenqing: "I just came back from the yamen before, my cousin is in prison, and now the county order has gone home, if you want to see your cousin, you have to wait for the yamen to open tomorrow." ”
Ximen Sheng stood up in shock and fell to the ground with the teacup beside him: "What? How could your cousin go to prison, are you lying to me?!"
In Ximen Sheng's opinion, the most important thing to go to prison is Ximen Qing, how could his good son be arrested, it must be Ximen Qing talking nonsense.
Ximenqing said lazily: "It's okay if you don't believe it, just keep looking for it, I won't be miserable." "If you don't believe the truth, don't expect yourself to do your work for nothing.
Ximen Sheng pointed at Ximen Qing angrily, shook his sleeves and left.
Ximenqing snorted and asked the servant to help him in to rest, and not to come to him tomorrow.
It's a pity that Ximen Sheng knocked on the door of Ximen Qing's house early the next morning, followed by his wife, both of them did not have a very good face, and Ximen Sheng did not have the momentum of yesterday.
Although Ximenqing's head hurt when he was woken up from sleep by the servants, his whole person was happy after seeing their faces: "What's the matter?
Ximen Sheng couldn't help but be angry: "Can you take us in to see your cousin today? I want to ask him what the hell is going on?"
