Chapter 117: The Banquet of the County Guard's Mansion
"Hehe, as long as Engong likes it, men and women love, don't say anything high or not, as long as Engong agrees, I will tell my sister the rest, in fact, Engong married my sister, it will be of great help to you in the future, although the Shui family has stripped off the title of nobility, the strength is no longer as good as in the past, no one in the clan is an official, but the financial resources are abundant, no matter what Engong wants to do, he can use the money and food manpower, and he will not be busy all day long in order to dress and make ends meet as before."
"Of course, I didn't marry her for his family's money!" Chen Xu clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and the horse's hooves continued to walk forward.
"There is no conflict in this matter, with Engong's ability, it will naturally be a vehicle to make money in the future, and the Shui family will naturally be a vassal with you at that time, and the family power will also rise with the tide, by the way, what do you think about what Engong said earlier?"
"What about it?"
"It's the thing about being the emperor!"
Chen Xu pulled the reins and stopped again, stared at Yu Wuya fiercely and said, "I said that don't mention this matter again!" ”
"But I always feel that it's a pity that Engong is not the emperor!" Yu Wuya muttered.
"Let me ask you a question, you studied with the water girl, didn't you think about marrying her?" Chen Xu simply changed the topic and stopped discussing the matter of being an emperor with this goods.
"I don't like women!" Yu Wuya pouted and said.
"Ga~" Chen Xu's body stiffened and he almost fell off the horse.
"Eun Gong thinks wrong, Wuya doesn't like men either!" Yu Wuya hurriedly shook his head, "Wuya is a disciple of Liezi, since he was a child, he has followed his master to practice, what he likes is freedom, what he yearns for is freedom, he doesn't have too many thoughts about men and women, and when he meets a graceful and soft woman, he will naturally be interested, but if he wants to marry a wife and have children, farming and farming for a lifetime, it is better to let me die, although the senior sister is beautiful and intelligent, but ...... That one...... I've watched her grow up since I was a child, and she is really like a brother and sister, but I really can't give birth to the slightest thought! ”
Chen Xu: ......
All right! Is this the so-called rabbit not eating the grass next to the nest?
Or is it too familiar to start?
Chen Xu thought about it for a long time, and roughly determined that Yu Wuya was a second force.
A big man is not interested in the big beauties who get along day and night, which shows that he belongs to the kind of mental illness that cannot be cured.
Actually, this is understandable.
Liezi inherited and carried forward the Taoist concept of Lao Tzu, and the study of the theory is more illusory, the way of heaven, the nature has a different understanding, that everything is nothing, and the void to the extreme heaven and earth and all things have no difference, so he advocates that everyone is equal, there is no distinction between high and low, so Liezi's disciples are called the noble and virtual school, because the belief is completely empty, so the pursuit is emptiness, there is the taste of emptiness preached by Buddhism in later generations, so most of the disciples of Liezi live very freely, Wandering all day long in the primitive nature of famous mountains and rivers to pursue the emptiness of the Great Enlightenment, there is naturally no interest in the affairs of men and women, and the Taoist monks who have seen through the red dust in later generations do not marry wives and have children, which is the end of the pursuit of the way of heaven.
The two talked and chatted, and when the two came to the inn again, the sun had already set in the west, and Jiangbei Pavilion had been waiting for a long time.
Jiangbei Pavilion looked Chen Xu's outfit up and down, and nodded with a smile: "The virtuous nephew's dress is refreshing, and he already has the appearance of a jade tree in the wind!" ”
"The county order has won the award, and Xu is also ashamed, his family has been poor since he was a child, and he has never worn such good clothes, so he is a little unaccustomed!" Chen Xu tidied up the crooked clothes because of horseback riding again, and especially showed the jade pendant on his waist.
Looking at this jade pendant, Jiang Beiting's eyes lit up, and then he was extremely surprised, and then his expression was stunned.
"My lord, is there something wrong with Asahi's outfit?" Chen Xu hurriedly asked.
"It's okay, it's okay, the old man just looks at the delicate texture and exquisite workmanship of this jade pendant of the virtuous nephew, and the value must be expensive, so he was a little surprised!" Although Jiang Beiting was puzzled, he still quickly shook his head.
This jade pendant is so familiar to him, it seems that it was still hanging on his daughter's waist a few days ago, why did he hang it on Chen Xu in the blink of an eye for a few days? Could it be that Chen Xu robbed his daughter's things again?
Jiang Beiting thought that it was impossible, because this matter had never been mentioned by his subordinates.
Or could it be that her daughter liked this young man, so she gave him a jade pendant?
As soon as this idea came out, Jiang Beiting felt even more impossible, so he shook his head vigorously and put this idea behind him, and could only wait for the next time he went back to Xianyang to ask his daughter carefully.
The mansion of the county guard is in the middle of the city, not far from the county office, no more than 100 meters away.
When passing by the majestic and tall Nanyang County Ya, Chen Xu also stopped and looked at it a few times, in front of the County Ya is a street facing the south gate and a wide square of hundreds of zhang, three steps a total of twenty-one straight to the county government hall, all are paved with bluestone, the yamen platform is towering, the wall bricks and arches are all built of bluestone, so it looks extremely heavy, more than 100 times stronger than the tattered Pheasant County Ya.
In fact, in Chen Xu's opinion, the buildings at this time are very rough, but they can't stand the use of blue bricks and boulders, and perhaps because of the small number of people in the land, many buildings occupy a lot of space, so the surrounding area of this county government is very open, and it looks like a palace as majestic and domineering.
"Let's go, it's a bit rude when it's late, if the county keeper asks about the conflict in a while, you can tell the truth, but I guess he won't question you in front of many Nanyang celebrities, so there won't be too many things happening tonight!" Jiangbei Pavilion rode a horse and reminded beside him.
Soon a few people came to the front of a huge mansion, and after turning over and dismounting, several soldiers led the horses to the wooden stakes next to them and bolted them, and Yu Wuya also advised: "Engong, I will wait for you outside!" ”
"Hmm~" Chen Xu nodded and walked into the door of the mansion with Jiang Beiting one after the other.
Entering the door is a wide compound, the ground is also paved with bluestone bricks, the area is half the size of a football field, and there are several houses connected together, all of which are wood and stone structures, and the beams and arches look very thick and strong.
There was a faint sound of laughter and silk and bamboo coming out of it.
"Jiang County Order, Xiao Langjun, please come inside, Lord County Shou is already waiting in the banquet hall!" A middle-aged scribe in a light blue robe greeted him, bowed slightly to Jiang Beiting and Chen Xu, and led the two through a gate in front of them, and then through an alley.
The space in front of me suddenly opened up to an all-wooden hall lined with low desks on both sides, and a sunken dance floor in the middle of which seven or eight thinly dressed young women were swaying to the sound of tinkling music.
On both sides of the dance floor, there are low desks with fruit snacks, and there are more than a dozen people sitting scattered behind the desks, all of them men, and almost all of them are over 30 years old, all of them wearing wide robes and big sleeves, and many of them are pointing and laughing at the women on the dance floor, drinking tea and exchanging.
