Although this courtyard is large enough, it will still be very crowded if there are 100 people living in the courtyard of Sanjin, and it is really inconvenient for Liu Yingyuan's family of three to live in the backyard.

Fortunately, Xiahou Zhuo and they don't have to worry about this, the Master Cui who doesn't know what he is going to face will arrange it.

It didn't take long for the governor Cui Hansheng to hurry over and change into a brand-new official uniform, and even the traces left by folding on the clothes were still there.

Before coming, he noticed the two new rings on his hand when he was just going out, hesitated for a moment, took them off and put them in his pocket.

When he arrived at Li Qi's residence, he was still far away, and when he saw the general who had not yet taken off his armor, Cui Hansheng began to smile on his face, this smile was not so easy, he had to be sincere with some trepidation, and he had to be polite with some humility, and the smile in the officialdom was a university question.

"Xiaguan Cui Hansheng."

The distance was about a zhang away, and Cui Hansheng had already fallen to the ground: "I've seen General Xiahou!" ”

Xiahou Zhuo glanced at him, and then said in a very cold tone: "Master Cui, get up, with your official position, you don't have to give me such a big gift." ”

"Xiaguan, I'm excited."

Choi Hansheng looked really excited.

He just wanted to say a few words to praise General Xiahou's feat of guarding the pass, but before he could open his mouth, he heard Xiahou Zhuo say something first.

"Where's the food?"

Cui Hansheng's stomach of rainbow farts was all held back, and he hurriedly replied: "More than 20 cooks have been transferred from various restaurants in Xinzhou City, and the general will wait a minute, all the items are also being transported, and they will soon be able to cook for the generals and warriors." ”

Xiahou Zhuo frowned slightly, with this kind of posture, there is no one who can't eat for more than an hour.

He looked back, he didn't know when Li Qi was gone, he seemed to be talking and laughing around just now, and he didn't notice where the person had gone in a blink of an eye.

He turned around and asked, "What about Li Qi?" ”

Then I noticed that Yu Jiuling was also gone.

Mr. Yan said: "I was still here just now, and I didn't pay attention to when I left." ”

Xiahou snorted, turned around and went back to the courtyard, this Lord Cui, who was holding a belly of rainbow farts, was stunned and didn't find a chance to speak, he thought that it didn't matter, it didn't matter, it was the son of Prince Yu, and that was the newly promoted General of the Fourth Rank, isn't this attitude normal.

He followed Xiahou Zhuo to the courtyard, and Xiahou Zhuo heard the footsteps and glanced back at Cui Hansheng: "Is there anything else?" ”

Cui Hansheng hurriedly said: "I want to see what else the general has to send, and the subordinate is waiting by the general's side, waiting for the general's orders at any time." ”

Xiahou Zhuo asked, "Can you do whatever I ask?" ”

Cui Hansheng said: "Yes, yes, the general's arrival in Xinzhou City is the honor of the people of Xinzhou City, and it is the honor of the lower officials, so whatever the general commands, the lower officials will do their best." ”

Xiahou said: "Then you go back." ”

Choi Han-seung: "Uh......"

He didn't think of what to do, Xiahou Zhuo had already stepped into the living room, follow up, it was extremely embarrassing, and if he didn't follow up, he was a little unwilling.

In the end, he was afraid of annoying General Xiahou, so he turned around and left, and just after going out, he saw Li Qi coming back with a group of people, there were more than a dozen, and everyone was carrying a burden.

After seeing Cui Hansheng, Li Qi asked, "Why is Master Cui leaving?" ”

Cui Hansheng hurriedly complained to Li Qi, saying why General Xiahou had such a cold attitude towards him.

Li Qi looked at Cui Hansheng and said with a look of hatred: "Because you are stupid." ”

Cui Hansheng didn't care that Li Qi spoke so much and didn't give him face, and after pulling Li Qi aside, he begged with a flattering face: "Please also ask Li Gongzi to teach me." ”

Li Qi looked at Cui Hansheng's hand, the ten fingers were bare, and he didn't wear anything, and Li Qi's face suddenly looked slightly disappointed

。

As soon as he saw Li Qi's expression, Cui Hansheng understood, and immediately took out the two rings from his pocket, quickly put them on his fingers, and then stretched out his hand.

Li Qi took off a ring and said: "First, I told you, General Xiahou doesn't like others to disturb, don't ask to see you if you don't summon you, I just said that you forgot, and asked why General Xiahou is cold to you?" If you don't give the order to blow you out, it's a shame to give you face. ”

Cui Hansheng said: "I thought it was ...... General Xiahou Zhuo said that he wanted to eat, so he just wanted to see me. ”

Li Qi said: "This is the second." ”

He took off the second ring from Cui Hansheng's hand and put it on, and then complained, "Why are you so stupid? General Xiahou came in a hurry, he hadn't eaten for a day, what did he need most at this time? Isn't it waiting for you to find so many cooks, build a stove and start a fire to cook, and you're already hungry, and wait for another hour or two? ”

He turned around and ordered: "Send the things to General Xiahou and the soldiers first." ”

Yu Jiuling walked forward with those people.

Li Qi pointed at those people and said, "Have you learned?" As soon as I saw you coming with those cooks, I knew that things were broken, and you have also been an official for many years, why don't you have any brains? This is the vendor I just got from the street, and I called out to all the vendors selling steamed buns, and the soldiers were going to eat a full meal, not to eat those delicate things. ”

Li Qi said: "This is the third ......"

Cui Hansheng hurriedly shook his hands: "It's gone...... There is no third. ”

Li Qi said: "If you owe it, go back and make it up for me." ”

Cui Hansheng raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and asked with a worried face: "Then may I ask Li Gongzi, how can I remedy it?" ”

Li Qi said: "General Xiahou is naturally noble, you annoy him, I have to try my best to persuade you for you, alas...... Headache, you go back and wait for the letter first, if there is news, I will send someone to inform you. ”

Cui Hansheng begged Li Qi and said: "Please also ask Li Gongzi to say a lot of kind words in front of General Xiahou, I really have a long memory this time." ”

Li Qi said: "I just said three days ago that you are a smart person, but now it seems that you are not very smart...... It's not as good as Liu Wenju. ”

After finishing speaking, he sighed hatefully and walked away with his hands behind his back.

Cui Hansheng raised his hand again and wiped his sweat, and said in his heart This is what people often say about the feeling of being with a king like a tiger, think about it, those big people in the court who seem to be beautiful are afraid that they are trembling every day as they are now.

But a magistrate like him, there is no way to continue to climb up, and he can be the governor of Xinzhou, if there is no accident, it will be like this for the rest of his life.

So for him, it's an opportunity.

He suddenly thought that a few days ago, Liu Wenju's family had a lot of big cars set off, and they should go to Daizhou Pass to continue to send silver.

Liu Wenju has already sent 20,000 taels of silver, and this silver is sent over again, obviously it is General Xiahou who asks for it, and as long as he asks for it, it means that Liu Wenju has taken this line.

He is already lagging behind Liu Wenju, if he doesn't think of a way to remedy it, it won't be long before Liu Wenju can climb on his head and make a fortune.

Then he thought of the last sentence that Li Qi had just said about him...... I just said three days ago that you are a smart person, but now it seems that you are not very smart, you are not as good as Liu Wenju.

In an instant, a beam of light lit up in Cui Hansheng's head, and in that light, it seemed that Li Qi was standing there, and there was a circle of light above his head that exuded holy light.

Li Qi looked at him like a sage with a kind and radiant face, and then raised his hand, thumb, middle finger, index finger, and three fingers pinched together, and rubbed them.

"Money!"

The light in Cui Hansheng's mind exploded, making him instantly understand his thoughts.

So he immediately commanded, "Quick, chariots and horses."

？ Send me back to the Yamen! ”

However, Li Qi didn't expect that Cui Hansheng's head had gone through so many turns and thought of so many life philosophies.

He really wanted to remind Cui Hansheng, but he didn't expect Cui Hansheng to think of money after going around in such a big circle, and he had risen to the level of divine brilliance.

Li Qi returned to the house, and when he entered the living room, he saw that Xiahou Zhuo was already gnawing on the big bun, and his cheeks were bulging, where was the majesty of the general.

"It's a pity."

Xiahou Zhuo said vaguely: "It's all vegetarian." ”

Li Qi sighed: "The people in the city, maybe they haven't seen meat for a long time, it's not easy for me to find so many vegetarian buns for you, so you can be content." ”

He stretched out his hand: "It cost a total of fifteen taels of silver, and the friendship price is twenty taels for you." ”

Xiahou Zhuo said: "It seems that the person named Cui Hansheng should be very rich, I will help you tomorrow." ”

Li Qi said: "Do you still need you?" I've just passed. ”

Xiahou Zhuo: "......"

Li Qi took a bun and started to eat it, and when Xiahou Zhuo took two bites, he finished eating one bun.

It is not easy for a bun filled with cabbage vermicelli to make such a taste with such a simple filling.

That kind of plain flavor makes people feel relished in their mouths, and it is extremely comfortable to eat.

Xiahou Zhuo: "You eat slowly, don't choke." ”

Li Qi said: "Don't worry, you still don't know me?" ”

Xiahou said: "Wow! Can't you tell I think you eat too much and eat fast? ”

Li Qi: "Hmm......"

Kill another one.

In fact, Li Qi had already eaten, so he didn't eat much, and after seven buns, he felt that it was almost the same.

Xiahou Zhuo has eaten six of them, after all, the size of the bun is indeed not small, the pasta of the northerners is very real, such a big bun, ordinary people have three or four.

However, this steamed bun stuffed with cabbage vermicelli is already the best thing that the soldiers have eaten in the past ten days.

Li Qi didn't know that everyone who was eating by the soldiers outside didn't stop until they couldn't eat anymore.

I still feel so satisfied, so happy.

"What are you going to do?"

Xiahou asked after taking a sip of hot tea.

Li Qi told him about the Qinglou and the casino, and Xiahou Zhuo thought about it carefully, and felt that if this matter was done well, the amount of silver that could be squeezed out must be a staggering amount.

"Let's talk about how to divide it first."

Xiahou Zhuo said: "My brother is settling accounts, I need money, and the silver for the construction of the cemetery stele forest is enough, but the pension for the fallen soldiers has not yet been issued." ”

Li Qi said: "You have taken enough, and the rest will be mine." ”

Xiahou Zhuo laughed: "Great." ”

He let out a long breath and said after a moment, "What are you going to do with the rest of your money?" ”

Li Qi said: "It's heartbreaking to be an adult, and it's not for you to save for marrying a daughter-in-law." ”

Xiahou Zhuo's eyes narrowed slightly, and Li Qi had already taken two steps back, as if Xiahou Zhuo was Li Qi and Li Qi was Yu Jiuling.

It's a biological chain.

"Keep it for you."

Li Qi said: "I wonder if I can go to the grassland to get some horses in the future." ”

Xiahou Zhuo asked, "Male and female?" ”

Li Qi: "Huh? ”

Xiahou Zhuo: "Alas...... It's not with me at all, it's not funny at all. ”

Good brothers probably want to be each other's fathers with selfless dedication and perseverance.
