Chapter 10: The Jedi Strikes Back
Chapter 10 Jedi Strikes Back "Dad, sit down." "Hurrying, this is the truest portrayal of Xiao Ershao at this time. His father suddenly came to Beijing, which was completely unexpected by Xiao Ershao, and he was not prepared at all.
Trembling and offering a cup of tea in front of Xiao Baichuan, Xiao Ershao said resignedly: "Dad, please use tea." "Fathers have always been dignified, especially for their children. Back then, Xiao Ershao was idle all day long, but he was reprimanded by Xiao Baichuan for this, and he used family methods to clean him up several times.
In such a situation, it is inevitable to leave a trace of awe for his father in his heart, although he has been away from Shuzhong for several years, this feeling has not been resolved with the passage of time.
Looking at him like this, Xiao Baichuan frowned and couldn't help but shake his head. It's still such a rice bucket, and I don't know what kind of shit luck this stinky boy has taken to start such a big business.
"Sit down and talk." Listening to Xiao Baichuan's instructions, Xiao Ershao hurriedly sat down with his ass in tow. "Dad, you...... When you come to the capital, why don't you tell your children? Xiao Ershao asked with a smile, Daddy's appearance was too sudden, if he was a little mentally prepared, maybe he would be stronger than now.
It's okay not to mention this stubble, but Xiao Baichuan couldn't help but snort angrily when he mentioned this stubble, "Do things for your father, do you have to tell you that you can't do it?" β
Xiao Ershao hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Dad, don't get me wrong, the child doesn't mean that, the child said that if he knows that you are coming, it is better to prepare in advance." β
Glancing at him, Xiao Baichuan asked angrily: "It's been five years in the blink of an eye, why haven't you been going home to see, if you go home often, why do you have to come all the way to the capital to find you." β
Where did Xiao Pengcheng dare to say that his beauty was lingering on the side, and hurriedly lied: "Dad, you have also seen it, the child's business is so big, it is really impossible to get out of it." β
Glaring at him, Xiao Baichuan didn't say anything, there are so many people who come to visit and talk about business every day, and they are indeed busy enough.
"Dad, are you the only one who came to the capital this time?" Xiao Ershao asked cautiously, it stands to reason that his brother is at home, and he should come to run such a long way.
"Your brother is here too, but he has some business matters to deal with, so my father came out to find you by himself."
As soon as he heard this, Xiao Ershao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it's good that the boss is here, at least the father won't come to him for everything. "Dad, it's not early, so let's arrange for you to stay for the time being." Speaking of this, Xiao Ershao realized that he didn't have a house of his own until now, and he had lived in this compound for so many years.
Xiao Baichuan didn't know that his second boy didn't have a house until now, so he nodded and stood up. Although it is convenient to live in an inn, it is still not as comfortable as at home, but I want to see what kind of style my son's house is.
"Quick, take a few people to find an inn nearby and pack a yard, don't worry about the silver." Xiao Ershao took the first step, pulled over a small servant and whispered, for the time being, it can only be like this.
The little maid took the order and left, Xiao Ershao turned around and came back, and said with a smile: "Dad, why don't you take a look at the layout of the child's accessible carriage and horse shop first?" β
Xiao Baichuan had this intention, but he was embarrassed to bring it up in person because of his majesty. At this time, Xiao Er Shaoyi proposed, nodded slightly, and said, "It's okay, then you lead the way in front." β
The yard is not too big, but although the sparrows are small, it took more than half an hour to visit. Seeing Xiao Baichuan nodding his head, Xiao Ershao was really relieved, he was satisfied, don't criticize himself in front of so many subordinates, otherwise he won't be able to see people in the future.
"President, the inn is ready." The little guys were also quick to do errands, and finally rushed back to report at this moment. So they took a few carriages, and the group walked towards a luxuriously decorated inn not far away, but the president said, don't feel sorry for the silver.
Looking at the inn in front of him, Xiao Baichuan's brows immediately furrowed, "Second brother, what do you mean by this?" Originally, this kid was going to take himself to his house, but he never thought that it would be an inn, but he disliked his hillbilly father and embarrassed him.
"Dad, don't get me wrong, the child doesn't have a house in the capital, and he has always lived in the compound. The conditions are rudimentary, so you have to be here. Xiao Ershao hurriedly explained, and quietly took two steps back as he spoke, for fear that a big slap that he hadn't tasted for a long time would come to his face.
Xiao Baichuan couldn't help but be stunned, he had done such a big business, and he didn't have a house?
"Dad, what the children say is the truth, if you don't believe it, you can ask them." Xiao Ershao pointed to a few small servants behind him and said, let's also be diligent and thrifty.
Seeing that his expression didn't seem to be fake, Xiao Baichuan had nothing to say. I am very satisfied with these two boys, and I know that it is difficult to make money, and it seems that I have matured a lot in recent years.
"Xiao Gongzi, my family is invited." Just when everyone was about to enter the inn, a fast horse stopped in front of the door, and a brocade-clothed lieutenant turned over and dismounted, ran to Xiao Pengcheng with a happy face and said with a fist.
"Brother Shen, what's the matter with me?" Xiao Ershao was thinking about arranging his father, but he really didn't have time to run to Shen Chongming to join in the fun.
"Hehe, my lord is ascending, and today we will hold a banquet in the small courtyard, please go and have a few drinks with Master Wang." The captain said with a smile on his face, this pass can make it easy for him to find, and he finally found the person.
Xiao Pengcheng only felt that his eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "I've been promoted again, Brother Shen has good skills." Looking back at his father, Xiao Pengcheng said a little embarrassed: "But if there is something to do today, let's go, you go back and tell Brother Shen, and I will set up a banquet for him to celebrate another day." β
Listening to the two of them, Xiao Baichuan on the side knew that they were talking about the Marquis of Dingyuan. Seeing that his own kid had pushed down such an important banquet for himself, he was both happy and helpless. I am happy that in my son's mind, my father's status is still the most important, but my son's shopping mall has been gambling for so many years, and he is still a lot behind.
"Cheng'er, it's for your father to take care of yourself, you better go, don't live up to Lord Shen's importance to you." Xiao Baichuan waved his hand and said. Although I heard in the teahouse that this Dingyuan Marquis and his two sons are like brothers, but one is an official and the other is a businessman, the difference in status is too great, and it is really a bit naΓ―ve to really treat the other party as a friend.
"Dad, let's do it another day, Brother Shen will definitely not say anything." Xiao Pengcheng said with a nonchalant face, the brothers are about to wear a pair of pants together, what are you doing politely.
"It turned out to be Master Xiao, a little rudeness." When the captain of Jinyi heard that the other party turned out to be Xiao Ershao's father, he hurriedly bowed down and saluted.
The other party is a brocade guard, Xiao Baichuan saw that he was actually saluting himself, hurriedly reached out to help, and said honestly: "This adult is polite, he really killed the old man." β
"Since Master Xiao is here, the little one will go back first." This lieutenant is one of Shen Chongming's personal guards, he returned to Beijing with Xiao Ershao yesterday, and he saw Xiao Baichuan today, and he didn't have to guess to know that the other party had just come to Beijing. With an arch of his hand, the lieutenant turned and mounted his horse and whipped away.
"Peng Cheng, is this Lord Fang Cai Jinyiwei?" Xiao Baichuan asked with some doubts, according to rumors, this brocade guard is all above the top, how can he ever be so polite to people.
"Hehe, sort of, they're all the child's brother's guards." Xiao Ershao was accustomed to it, and he didn't make a fuss about the abnormal performance of Captain Jinyi like Xiao Baichuan. "Dad, let's go inside."
When the lieutenant hurried back to the courtyard, Shi Bingzheng and Wang Siming had already arrived at the courtyard, Xiaoqing and Xin'er were in charge of the spoon themselves, and the fragrant dishes were put on the table, and the three of them were just waiting for Xiao Ershao to start the banquet as soon as he arrived.
"What, Peng Cheng's father has come to the capital?" As soon as the captain heard this, Shen Chongming couldn't help but stand up. Shuzhong is far away from the capital, but I didn't expect Pengcheng's family to come to the capital.
Seeing the captain nodding, Shen Chongming smiled at the other two and said, "Two, it seems that this meal can't be eaten, let's go meet Uncle Xiao." β
"Brother Shen is reasonable, the elders are coming to Beijing, and we should go to pay our respects as juniors." Shi Bingzheng touched the beard at the corner of his mouth and smiled.
has been an official for several years, although it is only a six-grade Taichang Temple temple to the present, but over the years, Shi Bingzheng is becoming more and more mature, and this beard is also a sign of maturity, otherwise it is always ridiculed as a poor mouth.
As soon as they said go, Shen Chongming took the lead in front, and the three of them hurriedly walked out of the courtyard gate with a group of brocade captains, rode in cars, rode horses, and went straight to the inn where Xiao Baichuan stayed under the leadership of the captain.
Xufu. Xu Jie and Ouyang Jingzhi sat opposite each other, accompanied by the flickering candlelight, and no one knew what to say.
"Elder Ge, now that Shen Chongming has been promoted to the commander of the Upper Guard, what should we do next?" Ouyang Jingzhi was the first to lose his breath, and asked with a sad face.
Not only Xu Jie, but even Ouyang Jingzhi didn't expect the situation to take a turn for the worse. originally thought that the impeachment of Guo Mingyi would attract the attention of all forces, but he never thought that Song Qingyang, who was like a clown who jumped off the beam on weekdays, would destroy such a perfect plan.
Now the people investigating this matter are all close to the emperor, and the outcome has been expected by Ouyang Jingzhi, that is, Guo Mingyi is safe and sound, but Lord Shangshu Niu of the household department wants to make a big mistake.
Although this matter is not small, it is really insignificant compared to Shen Chongming, who has been arguing with the emperor for several days, and the direct guards have commanded the throne. Now that Shen Chongming has ascended to this position, Elder Xu Ge has not only lost face, but the prestige he has accumulated over the years is also shaky, which can be seen from the situation after the dispersal of the dynasty today.
If you can't stop this limelight, I'm afraid that the forces that were originally closely united around Xu Jie will fall apart, and when the time comes, not only will the position of Xu Jie's first assistant be unsecured, but also the position of the imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate will be given to others.
"Alas, the world is unpredictable, I didn't expect Feng Bao to also intervene." Xu Jie sighed and said, it seems that he has always underestimated this eunuch, and he will really pick the right time to start.
When he said this, Ouyang Jingzhi also gritted his teeth, "And Song Qingyang, who took refuge in Feng Bao, these two people are embarrassed and traitorous, it's really hateful!" β
Xu Jie smiled bitterly, this matter was really too unexpected for him, a minor official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who was not famous was able to completely destroy his plan. "Let's not talk about this, let's talk about it after the current level."
The current situation is unprecedentedly dangerous for Xu Jie, even when he faced the Yan family and his son alone, he had never been in such an embarrassing situation, it seems that he has really lived a peaceful life for too long.
"Elder Ge, what are you going to do?" Ouyang Jingzhi asked cautiously, he was already helpless in this matter, and could only rely on Xu Jie's rich experience to save the situation.
"It's hard to say, it's not difficult to say, it's not difficult, and now there is only a Jedi counterattack!" Xu Jie's eyes showed a cold light, and Ouyang Jingzhi couldn't help but shudder.
