A subordinate came in to pour tea, and Song Ba arranged to serve a few appetizers first.

"Then have some barbecue, freshly grilled. ”

"You have a sharp nose, you know I have a new trick here, okay, just roast in the yard, and eat while roasting. ”

It's cold, and some guests don't want to go to the barbecue to get frozen, so Song Ba made some mobile ovens, and there are guests to order, and the kitchen sends a barbecue outside the room, grilled and eaten, eating hot, enjoyable.

Wei Dong drank tea and looked up and down the room, it can't be compared, these gentlemen, relying on their good birth, just play casually, as long as they don't cause trouble, the house can take out silver for them to have fun, and civilians don't dare to come out for a big meal for a year.

This is fate, I can't get hungry, and thanks to Song Baye's arrogance, I didn't look down at them, I should be content.

Wei Dong listened to the two of them laughing and joking, he smiled silently, occasionally interjected, and when the wine and food were served, he got up and poured wine, saluted the two brothers, and said that he was grateful to the two for taking care of his camp, and he made some money this year, and then he invited the two to drink.

Hearing this, Guan Laosi blushed and was ashamed, after knowing Wei Dong, Wei Dong mostly took care of his family, and he Guan Laosi, a dignified man, was in his thirties, but he achieved nothing.

Song Ba didn't look at people's thoughts, he only cared about persuading him to drink, but Wei Dong saw the embarrassing moment on Guan Laosi's face.

During the meal and drink, Wei Dong asked Song Ba's son how he was doing, and Song Ba smiled and said: "Mixed play, they are all a bunch of noble children, just mix up an errand, nothing serious, I think it will be a share of the money for nothing." ”

"Originally, the sons of Xun Gui went to mix up their qualifications, and when they had the opportunity to make a meritorious service, wouldn't they be promoted? As long as you don't make any mistakes, it's not bad to have a future, at least you won't be in vain in the future. ”

Guan Laosi said casually, picked up the wine and snorted, "I'll drink it first, the eighth master drink it quickly, I'll fill it up." ”

Wei Dong also picked up the wine glass, raised his neck to drink, and turned the bottom to take a look.

"Fourth brother, I think it's better for you to find someone to do activities, where to go on an errand, after a dozen years of mixed up, or give your nephew a good background, we used to be young, fun-loving, and if we have a waste, we should be wasted, and now if we have the opportunity, we should plan well, I can't, unlike the fourth brother, the ancestor is a side branch of the Guan family, although you have no one in this branch, you can always find a guarantor, and then there is a family tree as evidence, Song Baye is willing to help, and the fourth brother can also do serious things, not trying to make much money, and going out is decent, the identity is different。 ”

Song Ba clapped his hands when he heard this, and said, "That's good!" After drinking the wine, he wiped his mouth, "It's different, just my Pengfei, I haven't worked for a few days, that look, I have to be scared! I am greedy, I regret why I didn't find an errand to do when I was young, now it must be a positive fourth grade, which is like now my father gave me an idle position as a martial arts general, and I don't have enough money to drink." ”

Wei Dong was about to drink a cup, but he couldn't help but snort, and pretended to choke on drinking, coughing for a while.

Guan Laosi didn't have any scruples, and smiled directly: "Do you think that the four-grade officials are all over the street? It is a great ability to mix a six-grade official, but Song Baye is different, a child of the Guogong Mansion, if your second brother is not a concubine, how can he be a general of the country, and you are also a person with status now? If we want to do things, we have to start from the bottom, how many years do we have to stay up to be a Jiupin? I also have to meet an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, otherwise it doesn't matter if there is no backstage, some people will be doing chores all their lives, and they will not do less work, and the credit cannot be touched!"

Both of them nodded, and a large handful of kebabs were sent outside, and Wei Dong took it, first to Song Ba and then to Guan Laosi.

"That being said, if there is a way, it's not impossible to fight, I think the fourth brother might as well try, anyway, idle is idle, and if you wander for a few more years, there is no place to go, who wants a forty-year-old man? ”

Guan Laosi nodded while eating meat skewers, and replied: "It's okay, what's the trouble for the two brothers at that time, I will help more, it just so happens that there is a friend Ming'er who entered Beijing, and he was going to pick him up, and he came from Xichang Mansion, ask him how about it? It's good to go to the border to find a future, if not, I'll go there." ”

"Okay, it's okay to go to Liaodong, my brother-in-law is there, and you are also a member of the Guan family, so I went to find him." ”

Guan Laosi shook his head, "Liaodong won't go, my father once caused some trouble there, but it's just a private matter, tell me not to go to Liaodong to find something to do." ”

Song Ba nodded and drank wine and ate meat, as if he had heard Guan Laosi say that his father provoked a widow, the other party was powerful, and he wanted to be a wife, his father couldn't get out, so he was so frightened that he took his daughter-in-law and son back to Beijing to join a clan, Guan Laosi's grandparents were long gone, his father's only son, after coming to Beijing, he lived with his father-in-law's neighbor, so he knew each other, and when his father and mother were gone, it was the Yue's family who took care of him and let him have a home.

Wei Dong listened to it and said: "The fourth brother is right to think so, but I have something to do tomorrow, otherwise I will give your friend a pick-up, wait for two days, I will treat you, and the fourth brother will arrange it, it is better to come to the eighth master." ”

"Okay, I came here with wine and meat, and I also hid some burning knives, which I got from the Marquis of Wuling's mansion. ”

"Heh, why don't you take it out today?"

"It's too late today, Wei Dong has to go home in a while, and he can't go back home after drinking that wine. ”

Wei Dong hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, thank you." ”

Because Wei Dong's daughter-in-law is not in good health, if he doesn't come back, his daughter-in-law will worry about it all night, so Wei Dong never spends the night outside, and everyone knows about it.

The three of them talked and laughed, they drank almost, Wei Dong said goodbye, Song Ba and Guan Laosi continued to talk nonsense, and in the middle of the night, Guan Laosi also rested here.

The next day, after a lazy night's sleep, the two of them had dinner, Song Ba said that it was okay, followed and took a carriage out of the city.

When checking at the city gate, Guan Laosi said: "When I was young, I had a chance to come here to be a city gatekeeper, but unfortunately I always wanted to go outside to break through, otherwise I would be able to get a way out now, which is like nothing now, ashamed." ”

Song Ba waved his hand and said: "You still have time, with that kung fu, you can let people take a look at it wherever you go, I can't do it, just fool around like this, if you have the opportunity to walk around with Brother De, you will be content." ”

Guan Laosi knew that these sons and gentlemen couldn't understand the days when they couldn't move an inch without money, but they didn't say much nonsense and changed the topic.

Outside the city, in a waiting pavilion, it was cold, and it was impossible to sit and wait, Song Ba proposed to go to the side of the road to walk back and forth, and Guan Laosi followed on the avenue.

After a while, seeing a team of carriages struggling, Song Ba also stretched his neck to look, turned his head and asked, "Is it your friend who has arrived?"

Guan Laosi shook his head, "It doesn't look like it, the carriage doesn't look like it came from the west, it is estimated that it is a pedestrian from the south." ”

Song Ba was not interested, and then asked the friend how he went to Xichang Mansion, at this time, the carriage stopped after approaching, and a voice came from a car: "Song Ba, why are you here?"
