drove away the brother-in-law who didn't open his eyes, Xu Wei thanked the villagers and the two brothers, and turned around and returned to the house. Xu Xiuping and Xu Wang's two were already busy, and Mrs. Xu was happy to be idle and coaxed his grandson to play.

Back in the backyard, accompany the two Shangguan to drink tea, eat some fresh melons and fruits, and enjoy the idyllic scenery, Zheng and Huang are entangled in mundane affairs on weekdays, how could they be so leisurely? And Xu Wei went on the road, never mentioning official business, only saying some inconsequential anecdotes, the three of them were also comfortable, and when the word came forward, saying that the banquet was ready, the three of them were already smiling lightly and were very enthusiastic.

That Huang Qianshan is a civil official in the end, and he is a little elegant, so he suggests that he doesn't have to be so solemn, how about simply putting the wine and food in this pavilion? Zheng Ying also said good, Xu Wei naturally agreed, not long after, the wine and food were put on the table, in the countryside of Xujiazhuang, there was naturally no mountain and sea delicacies, all of them were fresh vegetables, wild game in the mountains. However, those two Shangguan are tired of eating delicacies, and when they saw this feast, they frequently praised them.

Xu Wei filled a glass for the two of them and toasted: "In the countryside, I have wronged the two adults." ”

Zheng Huang and both smiled: "Where and where, I usually can't eat if I want to." After the three of them drank, Xu Wei still didn't mention anything, just persuaded him to drink. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, when he was enjoying himself, he summoned his servants, took two paper bags, and placed them in front of the two officials.

Huang Qianshan didn't react, and Prison Zheng, who was flushed with alcohol, looked at it and said strangely: "Deputy Envoy Xu, what does this mean?" ”

"Hehe, a little heart, please smile at the two adults." Xu Wei took a sip of wine and said with a smile.

"Why bother? How can I touch the reward you got from birth to death? Spread it out and make people laugh. Zheng Ying stretched out his hand and pressed it on the silver envelope, as if to push it back.

Xu Wei also held it down, and said seriously: "The two adults are kind to me, if I don't understand this bit of etiquette, then it's a joke." ”

Zheng Ying withdrew his hand, smacked his lips and looked at the silver envelope, and said: "There is a way that is useless, Deputy Envoy Xu, but if the official can help, just say it." "This person is from the military in the end, and he is happy when he drinks wine, and his heroic character is revealed.

Huang Zhixian, who had never expressed his position, interjected at this time: "Yes, Deputy Envoy Xu, today Prison Zheng and I stayed to eat your wine, which means that we value you, the younger generation, and you might as well say anything directly." He also estimated that Xu Wei had something to ask for, so he didn't reach out to take the silver.

"The two adults are going to see each other, this hot day, and I still bother the two of them to come to the door in person, and the younger generation is really unhappy in their hearts, so they have to ask for something?" Xu Wei put both hands out and pushed the silver closer.

Zheng Ying was still hesitating, Huang Qianshan pondered for a long time, and reached out to take the silver in front of him. When Zheng Ying saw it, he put his mind at ease, the local parents and officials have accepted it, am I still afraid of a bird? also received the money, and sighed secretly in his heart, they are both father and son, that Xu Taigong and Xu Sheng, have no such knowledge. Before Huang Zhixian came, he said that Xu Jiu was a muddy person, isn't this very elf.

The two of them accepted the money, thinking that Xu Wei should speak now, right? But who knew that he still didn't mention it, and diligently persuaded him to drink, and at the same time ordered him not to neglect the entourage of the two adults, and to be sure to eat and drink enough. After drinking for a while, the home-brewed wine in the countryside had a lot of stamina, and the three living Guan Gong appeared.

Zheng Ying drank so much that even his ears were red, and when Xu Wei was about to pour him wine again, he snatched the wine jug, staggered Xu Wei down to his seat, and filled him with a glass in person. With a mouth full of wine, he said: "Brother Xu......" Speaking of this, he burped and almost fainted Xu Weifu. "Brother, I don't praise people easily, you are not very old, and you have a lot of knowledge! Come on, let's go one! "This person is not welcome, he is a man in his forties, and he is a brother and brother to a descendant who is less than twenty, and he is not afraid of losing his life?

After drinking a glass of wine, Zheng Ying sat down heavily, glanced at Huang Zhixian, who was eating with his head down, exhaled, groaned for a while, and suddenly slapped his palm on the table: "Okay!" Brother Xu, brother, I really can't go in my heart! In this way, there is one thing I just heard, I dare not guarantee whether it is true or not, you can listen to it. ”

Xu Wei's heart moved, and he still had a smile on his face, and asked, "Oh? Please also ask for your advice. ”

Zheng Ying burped again, and a trace of disgust obviously flashed on Huang Qianshan's face next to him, and it was fleeting, and he moved his body without a trace, still only caring about eating vegetables.

"You're doing a great job! Although there is only one Xiu Wulang at the moment, as a sending official, it is said that there is consideration from above. Zheng Ying said this, Xu Wei handed over a piece of watermelon at the right time, the former swallowed it in three or two bites, the melon flesh was still in his mouth, and he continued, "You may not know that since the army retreated, Hebei, Shandong and other places have been seriously troubled. Although they are all small fights, they can't stand the mountains, and there are dozens of large and small groups. The original intention of the imperial court was to send officials and troops to exterminate it, but you also know the defeat on the front line, and there are still remnants of Fang Rebellion in the south, and the court is empty. You are in Xiajin County for such a dozen, which gives the top an idea. Someone is suggesting that the local heroes be recruited, the organization is brave, and the state and county are defended, and you are mentioned by name. But there seem to be concerns from above, and there is no final decision. ”

After a short pause, he took another drink and said with a smile: "That's all!" It's all hearsay, brother, you go in your left ear and out your right ear, but I didn't say anything! ”

Xu Wei was overjoyed! Damn, that's what I'm waiting for! I didn't expect that because I was doing this battle in Xiajin, the opportunity came in advance! Slow! No, if the local heroes organize and defend Sangzi bravely, aren't they just township soldiers? Doesn't the imperial court always do this? What's the difference?

Although Xu Wei's heart was happy, he was invisible, Zheng Ying saw that he was not happy and jumped up and down, and laughed: "Brother, have you drunk too much?" Still haven't figured it out? Township soldiers are organized according to household registration, and there is a certain number of them. But this time, he didn't say any more about the ...... that was discussed, but the meaning was already very clear. This time, the organization is different from the township soldiers, there is no set quota, and how many people you can recruit is your ability.

Zheng Ying said this matter to thank Xu Wei for his hospitality, and there was another meaning, which Xu Wei couldn't think of at the moment. That is, if you can pull up a team and exterminate a few gangs of thieves, maybe the imperial court will incorporate the team into the forbidden army, or even directly give a forbidden army number, and when the time comes, won't your Xu Wei's official rank go up?

Xu Wei felt that he was also a little drunk at this time, tried his best to calm his mind, reminded himself not to lose his temper, and arched his hand towards Zheng Ying: "Thank you for mentioning it!" ”

Huang Qianshan buried his head in listening, and smiled at Xu Wei at this time: "Prison Zheng is a great help, Deputy Envoy Xu, why don't you have a few more glasses?" If it is developed in the future, don't forget the kindness of Zheng Prison. ”

Xu Weilian claimed that Zheng Ying was very proud and did not refuse to drink. I drank seven or eight empty pots of wine before I stopped. After being full of wine and food, Zheng Ying mentioned Xu Wei a few more words, and then said goodbye. Xu Wei insisted on sending it out, and the accompanying sergeant helped Zheng Ying out of the door, and when he went down the steps, he didn't forget to turn around and howl: "It's done, do it well!" You specify the line! ”
