Chapter 119: It's so boring
The young man hurried along the corridor, his eyes swept through the wide open window, and after walking seven or eight meters away, his body suddenly shook, and then slowly retreated, standing outside a window, through the figure of several dancers who were singing and dancing, and then saw a guy who was sitting cross-legged on the couch drinking tea and eating snacks, with an indifferent smile.
But this unfazed smile fell on his eyes, and it was so familiar that he had the urge to rush up and smash his nose, eyes, and mouth with a stone, and then step on the ground and rub it vigorously.
"Quack~" The young man's hands clutched the window lattice tightly, his eyebrows were upside down, his eyes were on fire, and the green tendons on his neck only jumped.
Although he really wanted to rush in and beat Chen Xu out, he finally held back, all of them were famous people in Nanyang County, once it was spread out that the county guard had no way to teach his son, he would fall into a laughing stock in the future.
The young man thought for a long time, and after going to the courtyard and calling the middle-aged scribe over and muttering a few words in his ear, the middle-aged scribe nodded and walked into the hall, then lowered his head and whispered a few words in the county guard's ear.
"Everyone, the old man is out of company!" After hearing this, the county watchman stood up and walked out of the hall.
"Teng'er, what's the matter with calling your uncle out?" The county guard walked up to the young man and asked.
"Uncle, my nephew was burned with charcoal by the young man sitting on your right today!" The young man said through gritted teeth.
"Well, is that true?"
"My nephew doesn't dare to lie, I know him even if he turns to ashes, please ask my uncle to make decisions for my nephew, and I must punish him well!"
The county guard stroked his beard and groaned for a long time and said: "This son's name is Chen Xu, he is the person recommended by the county order of Pheasant County, I am about to recommend him to Xianyang, it seems that this matter will be slowed down a little, but you can't move him, when I come up with a foolproof plan, I will definitely help you out of this breath!" ”
"Thank you, Uncle!" The young man was excited.
"Hmph, look at others, and then look at yourself, you're eighteen years old, and you're still idle all day long, causing trouble everywhere, if it weren't for your father's early death, I wouldn't care about you, go, you can only stay in the house for the past few days and are not allowed to go out!" The county guard snorted coldly and turned to leave, leaving only the young man gritting his teeth even more with hatred.
I didn't eat the barbecue, my face was scalded with a few big blisters, and my hair was burned several times, this evil breath could only torture Chen Xu fiercely to dispel the hatred in his heart.
So he didn't take the county guard's words to heart, but left the county guard's mansion through a small gate in the courtyard, and there were already two strong men with tigers and bears leading horses outside the courtyard.
"Let's go, go to the lotus house!" Ma Teng turned over and got on the horse, and came to the south of the city with two strong subordinates after seven bends and eight turns, there is a green and verdant courtyard, there is clear water flowing in the courtyard, and there is a small pond, which is planted with lotus roots, lotus flowers are blooming, and the garden is fragrant and pleasant.
There is a two-story wooden and stone structure small building facing the water in the east of the courtyard, at this time the time is not over, and there is a faint afterglow obliquely shining, and in the room on the second floor, at this time, there have been six or seven young people of similar age, who are gathering in front of the case to gamble money, and next to them there are a few young girls with thin clothes and exposed limbs are holding wine pots and fruits, snuggling up to these young people to serve, and these young people are laughing and scolding gambling money, and a few of them put their hands into the girl's clothes and touched and pinched, and the sound of tactful laughter is endless.
With a series of horses' hooves, soon the stairs kicked and kicked, and a young man in white with a red face and white hair walked into the room.
"Hey, Brother Teng is so embarrassed today!" A person looked up and saw Ma Teng, and couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"Hmph, don't mention it!" Ma Teng sat down, sullenly took a pot of wine from a girl's hand, poured a few gulps, and then wiped his mouth and said, "Today, I was hit by a country boy, and I ate the soot all over my face, and I fell down and fell in pain!" ”
All the people who were gambling turned their heads with surprised faces.
"Brother Teng, who in this Wancheng is so short-sighted that he dares to rush into you? He doesn't want to live anymore! One of the young men with white skin and some blue circles under his eyes couldn't help but ask.
If there are people from Xianyang, they may recognize this young man who speaks, named Zhao Zhe, who is the fourth son of Zhao Gao, the commander of the CRRC Prefecture, and the future husband who was pushed away by Jiangbei Ting's baby daughter by all means.
But at the moment, Zhao Zhe is an iron official of the Xianyang Internal History Mansion, and he was ordered to come to Nanyang to supervise the construction of improved copper saws for logging.
Zhao Zhe and Ma Teng knew each other in Xianyang in the past, but later Ma Teng came to Wancheng with his uncle, the two have not seen each other for several years, Zhao Zhe came to Wancheng, and naturally he was entertained, so although Zhao Zhe arrived only two days, Ma Teng gathered a group of officials of the same age and the second generation of the rich who were not doing their jobs, and gathered in the lotus garden all day long to gamble and drink.
And Zhao Zhe himself is also a 205 who has no ambitions, only knows how to play and play all day long, and can't support the wall at all, after coming to Wancheng, he has not even been to the copper and iron workshop, and all the things about supervising the construction of copper saws are left to his subordinates to work.
"Brother Teng, what kind of wild boy is you, didn't you beat him up after suffering such a big loss?" A young man asked.
"Well, I thought, but he's sitting at my uncle's house for a feast right now, and I'm so angry about it!"
When Ma Teng said this, a group of people were even more surprised, and under the gossiping questioning, they also inquired about Chen Xu's name and origin.
"A wild boy in the poor countryside, Jiangbei Pavilion is just a county order, why be polite to him, when he comes out of the county guard's mansion in the evening, we will let out this evil breath for you together!" Several young people were shaking their fists and shouting.
"Okay, a word is decided, tonight I must let this kid live worse than death, otherwise it will be difficult to vent the hatred in my heart!" Ma Teng was also called out by the stimulation.
"Come, keep playing, the dinner party in the county guard mansion is estimated to end at the end of the day, Brother Teng will call a few subordinates to watch it first, and then find where he lives."
So Ma Teng stood on the second floor and ordered the two strong men to return and star, while he continued to gamble with Zhao Zhe and others, drinking and touching women, and the building was full of lewd and laughing voices under the noise.
"It's so boring!" Sitting on the couch, Chen Xu couldn't stop chattering in his heart.
The ancients couldn't play these entertainments at all.
The two next to him were talking about Confucianism and Taoism, but none of them were willing to talk to him, and he didn't understand what he did.
Jiang Beiting, who occasionally talked to him at the beginning, was fighting with another person at this time, and all the chatting was about today's laws and governing strategies.
The county keeper sat behind the desk, and the two girls fanned him, most of the time they were half-closed watching a few beauties dance in the center of the dance floor, occasionally eating a snack, as if thinking about a problem, but occasionally there would be eyes that fell on Chen Xu, and Chen Xu was a little faintly hairy in his heart.
Ever since the county guard came in after a trip, he barely talked to everyone.
The rest of the people were also chatting and laughing while enjoying singing and dancing music, and no one cared about Chen Xu's loneliness.
Drinking tea and chatting to see beautiful women, but it's not fun to continue this cycle, Chen Xu began to be very interested in these dancing girls who showed their arms and thighs, and showed their small waists and navels, but after watching too much, they were a little groggy and began to doze off.
