Chapter 10: No Face

[Latest chapter reading.]

Chang Sihao stayed for a few days without movement, so he came to Xu Wei to ask for advice

Xu Wei said: "Let Zhang Qi come to vote It is impossible to go through many people to discuss it must be secretly assigned by Xu Jie Because this is a person who will be sacrificed If you tell your subordinates who will be willing to die for him in the future So those minions go back to report that Zhang Qi has betrayed Xu Jie will not make the inside story public On the contrary, he will be more and more indifferent to him Completely draw the line Zhang Qi saw that we were going to 'vote for the name' I knew that if we really did it, it would be to go to the dangerous peak This person is fame and fortune, but he is timid and has little courage Under the trade-off, he can only shrink his head and endure "In the past few days, he has been conditioned by a famous doctor in Beijing My physical condition has improved a lot, especially my cough has decreased, and my voice has become much brighter

Chang Sihao nodded: "In this way, Xu Jie's plan will fail, and there must be no plan, sir, we should seize the opportunity this time."

Qin Juexiang leaned against the door with a small gold fan and sneered while fanning the wind: "Big brother, don't worry, what kind of person is Mr. Qingteng, he must have already made a fortune in his chest, sir, do you say it?"

Xu Wei ignored him and said to Chang Sihao: "Tomorrow is the day of Xu Jie's birthday, we should give him a generous gift."

Qin Juexiang smiled and said: "Naturally, you have to find me for the money, I don't know how to make this thick word sir."

Xu Wei said: "I want to send him two people" Chang Sihao was stunned: "People" Xu Wei nodded: "Xu Fan and Xu Kun" Qin Juexiang Liu Ye's eyes turned up: "No, these two people are my trump card" Xu Wei said: "If you don't play out, what kind of trump card is it" Qin Juexiang said: "What kind of play is the card handed back to the dealer's hand?"

Xu Wei moved his eyes and chuckled silently

Qin Juexiang suffered from his contempt for days Seeing this expression even more unpleasant at this moment, he frowned and said, "Big brother......"

Chang Sihao waved his hand: "Don't say it, do everything according to what Mr. said."

Nuan'er was learning to cook in the back kitchen of Duhulou Hearing that Qin Juexiang was back, she held a plate of freshly made watermelon and sent it to him to taste It went up to the third floor and listened to the loud scolding in the suite The subordinates lined up in two rows on the verandah No one dared to go in to persuade Nuan'er approached and listened to the scolding inside all the words like "how old is he" She understood in her heart She knew Qin Juexiang's temper Waved his hand to let the others go down and stayed outside by himself Wait until the movement in the house gradually fades Then she pushed the door and entered I saw that the room was dark and dark Curtains were drawn on all sides The only bright window was a Taishi chair The back of the chair was too high to see Qin Juexiang's head I only saw that there was a half forearm on the armrest The edge of the back of the chair was illuminated by a light bucket Pulling out a long shadow of half light and half darkness on the carpet

Qin Juexiang knew that others would not dare to come in, so he raised his hand without opening his eyebrows

Nuan'er willed, swept forward, obediently poured into his arms, tied up a piece of watermelon with a small silver fork and sent it to his mouth: "It's hot, try the watermelon I made."

Qin Juexiang smelled the familiar aroma of her hair Lazily put one hand on her waist One hand reached into her arms with one hand ** Playing for a while Sighing comfortably: "It's grown up again " Nuan'er blushed: "Who told you to always rub it" Bringing the watermelon closer Qin Juexiang opened his mouth and ate His eyelids lifted But there was no pleasure in his eyes In the past six months, Nuan'er's figure has grown more and more attractive She has grown a lot taller and taller Seeing that she wants to surpass herself And he is still the same way Thinking about it, it must be because of the "Wang Shibai Green Ox Surging Strength".

At the beginning, Zheng Mengzhu once said that Wang Shibai Qingniu Yong Jin, the first step to get started, is to burn the sky, and what is consumed is the vitality of innate development Women are fourteen and men can only practice at the age of sixteen Otherwise, it will end up with the same result as the length of the keel It will lead to the cessation of development and the inability to grow taller I thought it was an excuse I didn't want it to be true Recently, I tried to stop practicing and observing, but this strength has only one momentum After practicing, it is meaningful to raise my hands and feet I can't throw it away Only then did I understand: superior martial arts do not only work in fighting More importantly, it provides a mode of action that can make people's every move more relaxed and comfortable People start to practice according to the rules Gradually, the rules become a habit It is no longer a person who practices boxing but a person who practices boxing Therefore, walking, sitting and lying down can deepen people's skills If you want to abandon it, it is difficult Just like a child who learns to walk and then turn back and climb in the way of climbing, it feels extremely awkward However, the swords are dead, and the classics of the Sword Hall are burned by themselves Now it is impossible to check the solution In fact, if you have always maintained a childlike form, you don't care The question is, even if Xinlu is recovered in the future, her appearance will never be as compatible with her, so how can it be good

Nuan'er didn't know what he was thinking and asked: "You are fighting with that strange gentleman again" Qin Juexiang said: "Hmph, he also deserves it" Nuan'er said: "I know, you are angry Brother Chang treats others more than you "Qin Juexiang said: "Angry, why should I be angry, people's hearts should have no place to live, and nostalgia itself is a kind of mistake."

This sentence "should have nowhere to live" comes from the Diamond Sutra These days he often hangs on his lips Nuan'er has long been used to hearing it, but his heart is still sour Knowing that he has to be free, he will turn over the Buddhist scriptures In fact, he is missing Xinlu He bowed his head and said: "There is nothing wrong with remembering the old" Gently put the melon plate on the table

The room became quiet for a while, and the sunlight came through the window, shining brightly and warmly on the two of them, and the clothes were bright Nuan'er saw Qin Juexiang with a look of loss, and hooked his arms around his neck and said, "Brother Xiang'er, let's go to Yunmeng Mountain to have fun" Qin Juexiang frowned: "I'm very busy, how can I have the time to play with you" Nuan'er said: "How can you be busy The affairs of the alliance and the Qin family are taken care of by my father and Jia Bo, Xu Bo, Uncle Bai, and Brother Xiao Cai, and you don't have to ask at all Qin Juexiang said: "They take care of their affairs I am an official body, don't you know " Nuan'er pouted: " What's wrong with the official body People only treat you as a child and don't send you any errands Qin Juexiang's eyes stood up: "What are you talking about" Nuan Er suddenly felt that the heavens and the earth turned sharply under the silence The body was shaken and swirled and flew out With a "bang" bang, he hit the window edge and fell to the ground

Qin Juexiang had no intention of hurting her, but when the fire started, he involuntarily used Wang Shibai's green bull surge and had the heart to help Thinking of this kung fu is like a lingering soul in his heart, he couldn't help but feel irritable again, and scolded: "You are old, and you dare to look down on me, Lao Tzu does what he likes, and no one can control me since I was a child."

A human voice sounded outside the door: "The Prime Minister has been brought in"

Qin Juexiang shook his hand angrily: "The person arrested by Lao Tzu, why do you say that you will let me go and escort me back" The warriors outside the door escorted Xu Fan and Xu Kun, who were wearing black cloth bags on their heads, were more confused than the two of them for a while, and promised to leave Qin Juexiang's eyes suddenly bent and he hurriedly called for a bad water in his heart and secretly thought: "What is the green vine and green vine The first military division in the southeast doesn't care about the fart, the big brother treats you as a treasure, you make a tone When Lao Tzu is a raw melon egg and a little baby, this time Lao Tzu will play with his hands Let you see the means of the Heavenly Demon God Venerable"

He was thinking about the details in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the happier he became, tied up a piece of watermelon and put it in his mouth, chewing the juice, and the more he felt that it was very luscious, and suddenly found that Nuan'er was rubbing his waist on the ground, and his cheeks were bulging, like a goldfish that only held back the bubbles and refused to blow It's like a goldfish that only holds back the bubbles and refuses to blow It can't help laughing

The next day is the period of Xu Jie's birthday, and the lights inside and outside the Xu Mansion are colorful, and the servants are shuttling back and forth, and they are full of joy

Zhang Qi has been depressed for the past two days, and after being neglected for a long time, he was overjoyed, but he didn't want to be such a strange mistake If you want to do things well for the old man, you have to get close to Chang Sihao to gain his trust, but to gain trust, you have to turn around and tell the old man Xu Ge Thinking about it, I feel that the "name of the master" of the Hou Ye is really difficult to get It is more secure to follow the old man Now that I have caught up with the old man of the pavilion to do his birthday, I naturally want to express it

He easily begged for five taels of silver from his wife and secretly borrowed five taels to exchange for ten taels of silver and wrapped it in a handkerchief Put on the old official clothes that had been washed clean in the first three days Put on the silver and rush to pay respects to the outer street of Xufu I saw all kinds of sedan chairs plugged into the alley The officials in front of him were like a ball of ants crowded and motionless He knew that the sedan chair under the hands of the big official was not easy to mess with With a smile and discussed, it was easy to open the sedan chair array and get in, and he was moving forward one by one But suddenly he heard someone shouting: "Lord Sha of the Ministry of Rites, a pair of jade lions, a pair of pearl agate bracelets... "Take a closer look, only then did I find that the housekeeper of the Xu Mansion had already sent someone to sit by the gatehouse, and all the gift lists were sung and sung, and a certain adult on the left was "tattooed with five hundred taels of silver, twenty brocades, and ten pairs of jade bracelets, and a certain adult on the right" was tattooed with eight hundred taels of silver, ten strings of pearls, and a golden pig

Zhang Qi pinched the ten taels of silver in this handkerchief bag in his sleeve It is not to go forward It is not to go back It is not to listen to some small officials around him chatting in a low voice and said: "In previous years, the old man of the pavilion did not sing and sang and received it I don't know what happened this year" The person who knew said that "The old man has not been very good at the beginning, but I am afraid that I will not be able to take care of these things in the end" There were people around who laughed knowingly One said: "Alas, our small family is not as good as others Let's go in with a shy face later" The other said: "Brother Sun Nian, how much have you been up" The man stretched out a finger and said, "Alas." I can't take it" Zhang Qi thought it was one or two, and his heart was a lot brighter, but he heard another person snickering: "Ouch, that's a lot, I'm sixty-six taels, make up an auspicious one" Zhang Qi was uncomfortable when he heard it, and suddenly there was chaos behind him, and someone shouted: "Ouch, isn't this Lord Zou It's Lord Zou who has arrived, let one let let one, please let Lord Zou go first."

The sedan chair outside the street was in an uproar A tall horse squeezed in proudly Zhang Qi was hugged and retreated to the side of the road I saw that a person was turning over from the horse at the end of the hoof sound Five-foot figure Thin eyebrows and phoenix eyes Revealing a lot of dust on the official boots Zhang Qi saw that his heart was bright and secretly said Isn't this my old colleague Zou Yinglong The relationship with himself was very good at the beginning This person was also a small imperial history Later, under the instruction of Xu Ge Lao, he was the first to impeach Yan Song and fall into the battle of Yan He can be regarded as a great contribution Last year, he was released as the deputy prime minister of Jiangxi and Jiangnan Yantun Outstanding political achievements I didn't expect this big man to rush back to Beijing to pay homage to the elder of the pavilion

Zhang Qi knew that he was Xu Ge Lao's confidant, and it would be of great use to hand him a good word, so he hurriedly squeezed forward and hugged him, jumped his feet and shook his hand, and called: "Yunqing, Yunqing"

The surrounding officials also know Zou Yinglong's foundation Although he didn't add an additional official to the knighthood after the fall of strictness, it was just because Xu Ge was afraid of falling into the truth, so he used the snow to hide people's eyes and ears Last year, he was released out He must have made a lot of money It was very affordable So they all stepped forward to give a gift and smile Hoping to get closer Zhang Qi was thin and was squeezed left and right He didn't pay attention to the garlic under his feet and fell When he looked up, he felt that his eyes were full of deep satin round official buttocks and the soles of his official boots It seemed that the horse shed was blowing up the nest and was collectively flirting The voice was so noisy How could Zou Yinglong still see himself He hurriedly got up, and when he couldn't squeeze through it, he crawled forward with his legs underneath, lest he kick and stomp on it several times

Zou Yinglong smiled and arched his hands to both sides, walked through the crowd, went to the table and presented the gift list, waved the person in charge away, accompanied Xiao to keep the account in person, and sang loudly: "Lord Zou, the deputy capital, two boards of Gao'an yuba, a jar of Jiangxi side dishes, ten taels of Lushan cloud tea, and half a catty of dried mushrooms in Lichuan."

Xu Sangongzi greeted him with a smile: "Oh, Brother Yunqing, it's not easy for you to come back from afar, what else do you bring?"

His figure has slimmed down, and his face is also very different from the past Zou Yinglong didn't recognize it at first glance He was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hands and said: "A little local specialty is not a tribute, just give the elder Ge a fresh taste" The words are especially unfinished Behind him, Zhang Qi squeezed out from the middle of the human legs, and used too much force, "snorted" and grabbed the ground with a dog to gnaw The silver in his sleeves fell to the ground and came out of the silk The bones rolled through the table legs and rolled to the feet of the steward

Spread his hands and knees and used them to chase the silver Crawling halfway through the climb suddenly felt a quiet place around him When he looked sideways, everyone stopped talking and looked at him in a circle He kept one hand stretched forward, his neck twisted back, his knees one forward and one back, and his buttocks were pouted, and he froze there with footprints all over his face

The steward glanced at the ground, his body was straight, and he sang: "Yushi Zhang Qi has a handkerchief."
