Chapter 231 The Little Enemy (4,000 words two-in-one chapter, 2,500 votes plus a monthly pass!) )
Xu Huaiyuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Hey, then I must go and take a look." ”
For some reason, Ning Xiu felt that this Xu Huaiyuan Xu had a strange temperament, but he couldn't tell what was strange.
Sun Wufan is happy now. He stepped forward and said, "The little grandfather actually traveled with the United States this time, which is wonderful." ”
"Wonderful fart!"
Xu Huaiyuan scolded with a smile and kicked Sun Wufan's ass.
"That's my cousin." After that, he lowered his voice and said, "The rabbit still doesn't eat the grass next to the nest, you told me to beat my cousin's idea?" ”
"Ahh
Sun Wufan exclaimed in surprise, and then hurriedly covered his mouth and said, "Disrespectful, disrespectful." It turned out that the woman was the cousin of the little grandfather. I can't see it. ”
Ning Xiu frowned secretly, how can this little grandfather Xu be so angry, it doesn't seem to be a good thing for Sun Fat to get mixed with him.
While the three of them were talking and laughing, the prefect Li Rui was extremely embarrassed.
He was the first person to accompany the wine at the banquet and had the absolute right to speak, but he was robbed of the limelight by a fart boy who jumped out of vast.
If it weren't for the fact that he had a lot to do with Ning Xiu and Grandpa Xu, he would really plan to turn his face.
Rao is like this, Governor Li's face is still gloomy and uncertain, I am afraid that if Sun Wufan says a wrong word, he will give an eviction order.
After all, the organizer of this reception banquet is nominally Li Rui, and of course Li Rui can also tell the people attending the banquet to get out at any time.
Fortunately, after chatting a few words, Grandpa Xu returned to the banquet and sat down, and the prefect Li Rui said with a smile: "Grandpa Xu seems to have a good chat with Ning Xiansheng. ”
He deliberately touted Ning Xiu, just because he wanted to overpower Sun Wufan's limelight, and he couldn't care about anything else.
"Oh, that's a good guy."
Xu Huaiyuan picked up the wine glass and drank it all, then turned the glass slightly, and said with a playful smile: "What, does Governor Li want to talk about a marriage for my cousin?" ”
"Ahh
Li Rui was shocked. Xu Huaiyuan can joke, but he can't.
The Xu family is the first noble family of the Ming Dynasty, and the cousins are not within the reach of ordinary people. Although Ning Xiu was favored by Zhang Ge Lao and intended to focus on training, after all, he did not have a Zhongjin Shi, and he had not even been promoted yet. The difference in status between the two sides is not a star and a half.
In this case, even if he Li Rui wants to match, there is not much chance of success.
"The little grandfather will be mistaken, and the lower official doesn't mean that. It's just that this son is very good at poetry, if the little grandfather wants to learn, he might as well sing and make peace with this son. ”
Although Li Rui made up for it in time, Yu Lingxue on the side still blushed with shame.
I saw her hang her head and murmur in a voice like a mosquito, "Cousin......"
Xu Huaiyuan laughed embarrassedly twice: "My cousin is like this, she is thin-skinned and can't stand a joke." Let Governor Li laugh. ”
Li Rui smiled again and again: "Where, where." ”
But the heart was pounding, and the heart almost came out of the mouth.
At the reception banquet, it was possible to call some courtesans to accompany the wine, but because of the fear of Grandpa Xu's cousin, Governor Li did not do so.
Except for some toasts and a few lines of poetry singing, the clear soup is really not a bright spot.
Soon, this reception banquet for the little grandfather of the Wei Mansion came to an end. The prefect Li Rui personally sent Xu Huaiyuan out of the restaurant, and was relieved to see the little grandfather and Yu Ningxue get into the carriage together.
Hey, he just hopes that this little grandfather Xu will leave early when he is tired of playing in Jingzhou. Otherwise, as long as this master is in Gangneung City for a day, his heart will always hang in fear.
......
......
said that Grandpa Xu and his cousin Yu Lingxue were arranged to live in a three-entry house.
This is a set of other businesses of Governor Li's mansion, and before he could live in it, he met Grandpa Xu who came to Huguang to enjoy it, which just came in handy.
Otherwise, Governor Li was really worried about where to place Grandpa Xu.
The general official residence is too shabby, and it is not worthy of a noble person like Grandpa Xu.
The environment of the procuratorate for the inspector of the Imperial Court to temporarily live according to the imperial history is indeed good, but it can only be lived by the imperial court officials. After all, Grandpa Xu did not inherit the title, and he could not be regarded as an official, so it would be a trouble if he lived in the procuratorate.
If you are a book that is not open to the eyes of the patrol of the imperial history, it is indeed a headache.
As for the private mansion of Governor Li, there is no need to worry about rumors.
The generals, servants, servants, and long-term retinues brought by Xu Huaiyuan were all placed in the outer courtyard, and there were only two people in the huge inner courtyard, he and his cousin.
The two of them lived in a main room, but they were in peace.
After sleeping and getting up, Xu Huaiyuan only felt refreshed. He stretched and washed his face with water, then took a step and pushed the door open.
As soon as he got out of the room, he saw Yu Lingxue sitting on a stone bench and giving a, and he couldn't help but stop and listen quietly.
At the end of the song, he clapped his hands and smiled: "Cousin's skills are becoming more and more perfect." ”
"Ahh
Unexpectedly, there was someone behind her, so she suddenly turned around and covered her chest and said, "My cousin is so bad, I scared people." Why do you walk silently? ”
Xu Huaiyuan smiled bitterly: "Uh, there are only you and me in this courtyard, and it is difficult to fly in if it is heavily guarded outside?" ”
Yu Lingxue stiffened her neck and said, "That's not for sure." ”
"Hmm."
Xu Huaiyuan smiled awkwardly and said, "That's my cousin's mistake, can my cousin apologize to you?" ”
Yu Lingxue blinked and said, "It's about the same, I'll forgive you this time, and you must be silent next time you walk." ”
Xu Huaiyuan nodded with a smile, flicked his sleeves and put his hands behind his back and said: "I just patronized and drank at the banquet, and I didn't even eat enough, do you want to go out to eat some local snacks in Jiangling together?" ”
When Yu Lingxue heard this, she immediately became interested. It's not that she's not full, she's just purely interested in snacks.
What's more, you can go shopping in addition to eating. When you go to the street, find a shop and go in to see the handmade gadgets, isn't it more interesting than nesting in this big house?
If you want to talk about a big house, the house she lives in Jinling is much bigger than this one.
In her opinion, the big mansion is the same, no matter how magnificent the construction is, no matter how carved beams and paintings are, they are dead things without fireworks, far less warm than the people and things on the streets of the city.
"Okay, shall we go?"
"Well, since it's a casual walk, there's no need for a carriage."
The corners of Xu Huaiyuan's mouth hooked, and he said loudly: "I'm going to be a little guy next to my cousin, and I just have to pay for what my cousin likes." ”
Yu Ling Xue glanced at him and said, "If I hate it, my cousin will take advantage of me." When I return to Jinling, I must complain to my uncle. ”
Xu Huaiyuan made a look of horror and waved his hand again and again; "Ah, cousin raised your noble hand, if my father knew that he wouldn't use family law to beat my buttocks? Can my cousin bear to see me lying on the bed to recuperate? ”
"Poof!"
Yu Ningxue couldn't help laughing: "My cousin is really a flamboyant little enemy!" ”
Xu Huaiyuan and Yu Lingxue walked out of the mansion together and wandered along the wide streets.
Dozens of steps behind them, followed by more than a dozen generals. These are the elite of the guards of the Duke of Wei, who were sent by the Duke of Xu to protect Xu Huaiyuan's safety.
They didn't dare to be careless, and looked around vigilantly at all times, for fear that a few thugs would suddenly rush out from between the roadside stalls and injure the young master.
However, Xu Huaiyuan was not worried at all.
In his opinion, Daming is now a peaceful and prosperous era, although he can't do it, he can't do it without picking up the road and not closing the door at night, but there will never be people and thugs everywhere.
This is Jiangling City, Jingzhou Prefecture, and it is the hometown of Zhang Taiyue, the old Zhang Ge, and the intensity of the inspection should be very large.
After all, Yuyue Xue is a girl's heart, and she looks all the way. The front foot saw a candy man wanting to buy it, and the back foot saw a mask stand and shouted to wear a new style.
Xu Huaiyuan couldn't help but smile and glanced at the entourage who followed him, and the entourage naturally took out the silver money without hesitation and handed it to the merchant, in exchange for a smile from Miss Yujia.
Xu Huaiyuan has no concept of money. If his Xu family's status among the nobles of the Ming Dynasty is second, no one dares to say that it is the first.
Such a noble and transcendent position naturally brings countless privileges. Xu Huaiyuan didn't know how much land he had under his own name alone. Perhaps simply by renting out the land to tenant farmers would be enough to cover the expenses of the Wei Prince's mansion.
Not to mention the filial piety money sent by all kinds of merchants who attached their properties to the Wei Mansion. When taken out individually, each sum of money is not a lot, but it adds up to a lot of money.
In short, Xu Huaiyuan doesn't have to worry about money at all. As long as he can make his cousin smile, why not let him buy a troupe to sing for Cher?
Yu Lingxue put on a mask of Guan Gong, babbled a few times, and saw that her cousin just smiled awkwardly, so she ripped off the mask and snorted coldly: "Why, cousin thinks I don't look like Guan Gong?" ”
Xu Huaiyuan waved his hand again and again: "It's like, it's really like." I've never seen someone who looks like Guan Gong. ”
"Liar, cousin is a liar!"
Yuyue stuck out her tongue, turned her head and walked forward as if she was angry.
It's just that she is a daughter's family after all, how big can she be no matter how big her steps are?
Xu Huaiyuan took three steps and two steps to chase after him, and he apologized for his own words.
"Good sister, it's all my cousin's fault, can't my cousin apologize to you? What do you want? Cousin will definitely promise you. ”
Only then did Yu Ningxue stop and turn around and say softly, "Really? ”
"A gentleman's words are hard to chase."
Xu Huaiyuan said with a smile.
"Okay, I'm going to ask my cousin to take me to eat the best snacks in Gangneung City, eat the same, and I'll be satisfied with the food."
Xu Huaiyuan nodded with a smile, and said in his heart that our sister really has a soft spot for eating.
Xu Huaiyuan called his entourage and asked him to inquire around to see what are the famous food stalls in Jiangling City, so that he can take his cousin to feast.
Xu Huaiyuan, who went to inquire with the entourage, sat down with Yu Lingxue at a tea stall on the street and asked for two bowls of tea.
This is the first time the two have drunk a big bowl of tea, and they only feel novel.
Xu Huaiyuan picked up the porcelain bowl but couldn't take a bite, and finally took a sip.
The pomelo and lemon snow are not too much, and the two of them drink slowly and logically, just like drinking Longjing before the rain.
After the tea, the attendant finally ran back to report.
"Little Grandpa, the little one asked several people, and they all said that the famous food in Jiangling City is in Ningji Restaurant."
"Oh?"
Xu Huaiyuan put down the tea bowl and asked with great interest: "What is the origin of this Ning Ji Restaurant, which actually includes the famous food of Jiangling City?" ”
"This ...... The little ones don't know. ”
The attendant said embarrassedly.
"Let's go to Ning Kee Restaurant and have a look."
Xu Huaiyuan was about to get up and leave with a wave of his hand, but suddenly remembered something, coughed and said, "Well, you settled the money, it's a total of three coppers." ”
......
......
Ning Kee Restaurant.
Sun Wufan was eating a lot, and it seemed that all the delicacies at the reception banquet had not filled his stomach.
Ning Xiu's eyelids jumped, and his heart ached.
"Brother Sun, eat slowly, and no one will rob you."
Sun Wufan tore off a piece of pizza and put it in his mouth, chewing it tastefully.
"Reception feast? What are the dishes there? It's a far cry from this pizza. ”
The dead fat man's cheeks puffed out and squinted slightly, but he really looked a little like a Persian cat.
Ning Xiu said helplessly: "This can only be said that the dishes have their own styles and tastes, and Brother Sun can't be beaten to death with a stick." ”
Sun Wufan raised his eyebrows and said: "Good is good, bad is bad." Can't you say that their dishes are poor? It's just that I'm not good at the banquet. Can't you just say a couple of words now? ”
Ning Xiu shook his head and ripped off a piece of pizza and put it in his mouth.
He poured another glass of wine and took a sip of it. When the grapes are ripe, they can harvest a large number of wines and start mass production.
Only Ning Xiu can make wine, so there is no need to worry about market saturation. It's not up to him to decide what the yield will be.
The longer this thing is aged, the better the taste, anyway, if you make more of it, you are not afraid of it if you put it in the cellar, and you can store it.
Ning was looking forward to the sales prospects of the wine when he heard a sound of footsteps.
He turned his head to look stunned.
The person who came was not an outsider, it was the absolute protagonist of the reception banquet, Xu Huaiyuan, and Xu Xiaogong.
Young Grandpa Xu was also surprised when he walked into the store: "Friend Sun, Friend Ning, are you also there?" ”
"Ahem, ahem......"
Ning Xiu put down the wine glass and explained embarrassedly: "The little grandfather doesn't know, this restaurant is Ning's property. ”
"Ah, I see." Xu Huaiyuan nodded: "That's better." My cousin and I heard that Gangneung's famous food gathers here, so we wanted to try it. Today, Ning friends will treat you to the east. ”
Ning Xiu, Sun Wufan: "......"
"Cousin, don't wait for me if you go so fast!"
The two of them were embarrassed, and Yu Lingxue stepped into the restaurant with a lotus.
"Wow, these two people are there too. Cousin, this is too much of a coincidence. ”
Yu Lingxue jumped to Xu Huaiyuan's side like a rabbit and said in surprise.
"This restaurant is Ning You's property."
Xu Huaiyuan explained with a smile.
"You two, please take a seat."
Now that Xu Huaiyuan's brother and sister are here, Ning Xiu has to do his best to be a landlord no matter what.
He beckoned the two of them to sit down, and said with a smile: "I do have a few specialties in this store, why don't you give one to the little grandfather?" ”
Xu Huaiyuan nodded and praised: "This is good, let's have a copy of it." ”
He came just to make his cousin happy with a fresh taste, and it didn't matter how much he ate.
Sun Wufan burped the whole pizza and smiled: "Let Grandpa Xu see the joke." But this pizza is delicious. ”
