Chapter 38: Confrontation
The county lord of Chonghua never expected that there was such a scene inside the door, especially when her eyes met Zhan Shixiu's suppressed gaze, which seemed to be angry, her heart suddenly tightened.
The people in the back were also stunned.
Chonghua County didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly bowed his head to Zhan Shi's cultivation, "Cousin-in-law, you, why are you here?" ”
Zhan Shixiu got up and saluted the county lord of Chonghua, "Xia Guan has seen the county lord of Chonghua. ”
Zhan Qinghui and Youran also stood up and saluted the lord of Chonghua County.
In the Great Shang Dynasty, the county lord was the third product. According to the rank, Zhan Shixiu should bow to the lord of Chonghua County, but he is an elder, generally speaking, unless it is a formal grand occasion, only a general salute is required, and it is very rare to make a big salute like this.
The county lord of Chonghua suddenly had a hot face, and wanted to support Zhan Shixiu, "Cousin, you, you don't need to be like this, ...... like this" Because he was at a loss, he stammered when he spoke.
Zhan Shixiu stood up and disagreed, "The county lord is so here, and the lower officials should be like this." ”
"I just don't know why the county lord is so angry? Isn't it because the lower officials didn't come out to welcome the county lord? If this is the case, then the lower official will make amends to the county lord! ”
As he spoke, Zhan Shixiu knelt down and saluted again.
The lord of Chonghua County panicked and stepped forward to help, and the people behind him were also in a mess, and he was not a serious prince, so he always made an elder kneel at every turn, and it was not the same. What's more, this elder is not a common man.
This has to be known to my parents, and a good meal is indispensable.
"Cousin-in-law, you. Don't be angry, Chonghua is just confused for a while, I also inadvertently heard a female voice in this room, I thought it was Cousin Qing doing something bad? ”
The county lord of Chonghua explained again and again, and he was sweating in a hurry.
When Zhan Qinghui heard this, he immediately burst into a rage, "Am I doing something bad? Ahh I said An Changqi, you yourself are not serious, so you think that others are as unserious as you? Tell you An Changqi, I'll accompany my Lao Tzu out on an errand today! ”
"Who do you say is not serious?" The county lord of Chonghua blushed when he was said three words that were not serious.
"Just talk about you!" Zhan Qinghui stepped forward and pinched his waist. Pointing to the lord of Chonghua County: "A woman's family." is a mother, but she doesn't know how to teach her husband and children at home, and she runs around crazy all day long, day and night. I really don't know how Young Master Lin endured you! ”
"Ahem...... "The county lord of Fenghua came over." Zhan Gongzi. I'm waiting for my sisters to come and make friends, and the weather is good today, so I invited them to come here. Zhan Gongzi's rhetoric, doesn't he mean that I ...... too"
"Fenghua County Lord!" Zhan Shixiu made a big salute to the county lord of Fenghua, got up and said: "Xiao'er doesn't mean that, if you collide with the county lord, the next official will make amends for Xiao'er." ”
"Lord Zhan." The county lord of Fenghua changed the topic in a timely manner, "It is said that Fenghua should not interfere with the adult's errand, but he is just curious, and I hope the adult will forgive me." ”
"Does the county lord of Fenghua know that there is a field in Xishan, which is different from other families?" Zhan Shixiu knew that if their group of women didn't know the truth of the matter, they wouldn't give up.
"I've heard that there is a field where shrimp are raised, and it is very magical."
"That field belongs to this Qiu lady." Zhan Shixiu pointed leisurely.
Leisurely bowed to the ladies again.
Everyone was surprised, especially after knowing Youran's identity.
"When I first came to Jiangzhou, I was very curious when I heard about it, so I went to see it myself. I also heard that the dishes of this restaurant are unique, and I came here to sit, but I didn't expect to meet everyone and meet Qiu Niangzi. ”
We came here, eating, drinking and having fun, as it should be, but this Qiu lady, why did she come here? The county lord of Fenghua frowned.
"This restaurant is mine." Said leisurely.
"I heard that Lord Zhan specially visited my field today and came to my restaurant, so I came here to meet him."
"This restaurant is also Qiu Niang's?" Zhan Shixiu pretended to be surprised.
Nodding leisurely, "I was about to tell my lord." ”
Zhan Shixiu sighed and admired the deliciousness of the dish just now.
Everyone understood what was going on, and heard that the rice field was leisurely, and the restaurant was hers, and they also sighed in amazement.
The county lord of Chonghua snorted coldly, "Could it be that you just welcome Lord Zhan, but you can't look down on me and others in your eyes?" ”
"Where did the words of the county lord of Chonghua come from? My restaurant faces all directions, and the visitors are all distinguished guests! Could it be that my shopkeeper and the county lord who is snub in the second child can't do it? If that is the case, I will not forgive! ”
You smiled faintly.
The county lord of Chonghua was choked.
"Fang Cai, I heard the shopkeeper say that the county lord wants to eat abalone vermicelli soup today, and he happens to make this soup in the next place, I don't know if the county lord still has an appetite at this time?"
When the county lord of Chonghua heard this, he immediately looked at Zhan Qinghui, thinking that Zhan Qinghui must have told the truth.
Immediately refuse.
It was the county lord of Fenghua who suddenly said that he was very interested, and he immediately saluted and went downstairs.
Half an hour later, a delicious abalone vermicelli soup was presented, and the county lord of Fenghua tasted it and said it deliciously.
Zhan Shixiu also praised non-stop.
"It was an eye-opener. Master Zhan, do you think so? "The county lord of Fenghua got up and wanted to. Walk.
Zhan Shixiu got up and said with a smile: "What the county lord said is right, today's officials are not only feasting their eyes, but also feasting their mouths. ”
The two of them went downstairs with everyone, one after the other.
Then, both sides smiled and saluted goodbye.
After walking for a while, Zhan Shixiu opened the curtain of the car and glanced at his sullen son.
"Not happy?"
Actually, he wasn't happy either.
A dignified court official and a state prefect, but he was forced to make a big gift to two so-called county lords, one of whom was still nondescript!
But what else? Today's atmosphere in the Great Shang Dynasty is like this, and the powerful are rampant, and you, a five-grade petty official, have to bow your waist and shrink your back.
If it weren't for this, he would not have been ordered by someone to demote him to a small Shou'an and be a county magistrate for five years.
"Look at their rampant appearance!! I can't help but want to stretch out my fist!! ”
Zhan Qinghui said hatefully.
"Then why didn't you fight at that time?" Zhan Shixiu asked with a smile.
Zhan Qinghui glared.
Father and son have never been so funny.
Suddenly, Zhan Shixiu became serious, "Your shares in the rice field and the restaurant have been withdrawn, and you will continue to build a few shops in the city." ”
"Dad, that's what I thought too. Now, Sister Qiu has surfaced on the bright side, and I should jump out. In case someone with a ghost in her heart wants to find trouble, it will be more convenient for me to help her. ”
"You've always been smart, just understand."
Zhan Qinghui nodded.
After a pause, he asked, "Dad, I haven't always understood, you, why, so, so helpful, Sister Qiu?" ”
Zhan Shixiu was stunned for a moment, and then let out a long sigh.
"Qing'er, you really don't understand Dad's mind. In my life, I only like two things, the first one is to guard your mother. The second thing is farming. Your mother is gone, and in my heart, there is only farming left. Qiu is a genius, so I will do my best and never allow anyone to ruin my plans!! ”
Zhan Qinghui also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Dad is still the one who is eloquent, so I'm relieved.
So he smiled and said, "Dad, I understand." ”
Ah Fu drove the carriage and was leaving the restaurant leisurely, at this time, it was already evening.
However, just halfway through, the carriage was stopped, "The county lord of Fenghua and the county lord of Chonghua have invited Qiu Niangzi to the villa for a while." ”
Youran frowned.
Changle whispered, "Master, what should I do?" ”
"......"
A faint sound. (To be continued......)
