Chapter 5 The Father of the Xiao Family "Guest Officer, It's here." The carriage stopped slowly, and the coachman politely lifted the curtain and said with a smile on his face. Without orders, the two little guys hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and carefully helped Xiao Baichuan out of the carriage. After getting out of the carriage, Xiao Baichuan raised his eyes and carefully looked at the Tongda carriage and horse shop in front of him.

Since the carriage and horse shop was on the right track, this courtyard has been lively, and people come in and out every day, except for the people who are busy dispatching the means of transport, but more people are the people in charge of the shops in the capital who come to contact the business.

This noise has an impact on the advertising industry, which makes money by thinking. With a large sum of silver in his hand, Xiao Ershao heard this, and with a wave of his hand, he bought a courtyard in a beautiful place outside the city, and now this courtyard has become a veritable accessible carriage and horse shop.

The yard is still an old yard, there is a road is not a mountain is high, there is a fairy name, although the appearance has not changed much compared with before, but with the door plaque with five bronzing characters, everyone in the capital knows that this yard is a cornucopia.

But this ordinary decoration falls in Xiao Baichuan's eyes, the effect is different, the more low-key, the more it seems that these three young people are not simple. After all, if the tree is too public, in this capital where dignitaries and nobles gather, this accessible car and horse shop has long been unknown.

"This lord, dare to ask you if you are here to discuss business?" There has always been a doorman in front of the door, and seeing Xiao Baichuan standing in front of the door and looking at it for a long time without leaving, he knew that this person was here to talk about business with our Tongda Carriage and Horse Shop. Thinking of this, he greeted him with a humble face and asked.

"Hehe, this little brother misunderstood. The old man Xiao Baichuan came here to visit your Xiao Dongjia, I don't know if your Dongjia has leisure? Xiao Baichuan asked with a smile on his face. The so-called stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling face person, he must be kinder, and this door can still be accommodating, after all, as the old saying goes, the king of Hades is better than a little ghost, if he doesn't report, it is impossible for him to see this Xiao Dongjia.

As soon as he heard the surname Xiao, Menzi's face smiled even more. "This lord, listening to your accent, it must be from Shuzhong, right?"

"The little brother is so knowledgeable, and the old man is from Shuzhong." Xiao Baichuan hurriedly replied, after so many years of business, he has already cultivated a pair of fiery eyes, and he can see at a glance that this smile is more sincere than just now, which is a good sign.

The smile on Menzi's face became more and more vigorous: "Okay, our President Xiao is also from Shuzhong, you can sit inside and drink a cup of tea first, and the small one will inform you of it." ”

Xiao Baichuan nodded, and couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, he was quite valued. Thinking about it, he straightened his clothes and walked in under the leadership of Menzi. As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Baichuan found something unusual inside, only to see that there was a small door number on each door, what president's room, dispatch room, account room, tea room and so on.

Nodding, Xiao Baichuan said to himself: "I see, it's really extraordinary." "I admire it in my heart, just a few simple door numbers, I don't know how much time to save.

Walking into the tea room, Xiao Baichuan was dumbfounded. Originally, I thought that this tearoom was used to receive guests like the main hall at home, but when I went in, there were many people sitting inside, and accents from all over the north and south came and went. After listening to a few words, Xiao Baichuan knew that these people and himself generally came to visit the Xiao Dongjia and the shopkeeper Xiao.

Originally, the disciple invited himself in, and Xiao Baichuan felt that it was quite honorable, but after looking at this situation, he knew that the other party's hospitality was that he did not refuse to come, and he was just one of them.

In the president's room, the muscles on Xiao Ershao's face had already stiffened, and the smile had not changed from beginning to end, ushering in and out, and there was an endless stream of guests coming in and out.

"How many guests are waiting?" Sending away a group of guests, Xiao Ershao raised his hand to stop the little guy who was about to go out to invite the next group of guests, and asked while rubbing the muscles on his face.

"Back to the president's words, there are three groups of guests from Shandong, Henan and Shuzhong." The little servant replied respectfully with a respectful face, and the secretary really has a good memory, and he actually knows the location of so many guests clearly.

"Three dials." Xiao Pengcheng pondered for a while, and ordered: "Give them to the junior son for reception, I am really a little tired, president." ”

The little guy refilled a cup of tea for Xiao Ershao with great eyesight, put down the teapot and said, "Yes, the little one will go." With that, he turned and walked out the door.

"Wait, bring the guests from Shuzhong here." After all, he is a fellow countryman, and Xiao Ershao, who has not listened to the country's voice for a long time, wants to see each other as soon as his heart moves.

A cup of tea after a cup of tea, an hour passed, seeing that there were fewer and fewer people in the tea room, but it was not his turn yet, Xiao Baichuan couldn't help but be a little anxious. It's been this hour, I'm afraid it's a little difficult to meet this Xiao Dongjia today.

The two little guys didn't get much better, standing there with a puffed up in their eyes, looking at the Tongda chariot and horse dealer who had been serving tea to all the guests opposite. What kind of character is your own master, even if you go to meet the prefect when you are in Shuzhong, you have never been so wronged, what kind of stand are you a businessman putting up here, you dare to make your own master wait for an hour.

Just when he was feeling angry, the little guy who got Xiao Pengcheng's order walked in with a smile on his face. didn't look at Xiao Baichuan, and walked straight to the other two guests who were chatting. "The two of you have been waiting for a long time, please come with the little one."

The two of them didn't dare to hold it up, they were just ordinary businessmen, and the business in their hands was not even a medium customer for Tongda Carriage and Horse Shop. With a smiling face, I saw one of them arch his hand and said, "Okay, thank you little brother." ”

With kind words on his lips, he walked out of the tea room in three ** steps. Before going out, the two of them turned around and glanced at Xiao Baichuan, who had an ugly face, and the two little guys with an indignant face.

I can't complain that Xiao Baichuan's face is not good-looking, these two people obviously came after themselves, but at this time, they just walked in front of him, what is this called. At this point, the original good impression of Tongda Carriage and Horse Shop has also been greatly reduced.

"Master, this is really too deceitful, let's go." A little guy couldn't help but say, these bastards are really angry, and they despise their own masters so much.

Just when Xiao Baichuan was pondering whether to say goodbye without saying goodbye, the little guy went back and walked in with a smiling face. "Master Xiao, it's really slow, our President Xiao invites you to come over and talk about it."

Xiao Baichuan couldn't help but wonder, could it be that this Xiao Dongjia sent the two of them away in the blink of an eye?

"Master Xiao, our president has just come back from Zhejiang, and there are too many guests to meet, which is really unbearable, so the two masters just let Director Xiao receive them. You are our president's fellow countryman, so naturally it's a different story. But this little guy saw the confusion on Xiao Baichuan's face, and hurriedly explained.

A President Xiao for a while, a Director Xiao for a while, this different title can't help but make Xiao Baichuan, who is in contact for the first time, a head and two big, who is this and whom?

But I'm embarrassed to ask, as long as I know that Xiao Dongjia wants to see me. "Then there's Brother Lao."

"It's a great blessing in life to have friends from afar." The door had just opened, and before he saw the figure, Xiao Ershao got up and smiled. This is one of his reception words, and the first thing that comes to guests from other places must be this.

"In Xia Xiao Baichuan, I have seen Xiao Dongjia." Five years is not a long time, but it is not a short time. Xiao Ershao, who has a successful career and a bumper harvest in love, is no longer the childish young master he was back then, although he is constantly talking nonsense with a hippie smile in front of his acquaintances, but in front of the guests, he has always been full of calm and full of style, at first glance, Xiao Baichuan didn't see that he was the second boy of his own family who came all the way to find.

Xiao Ershao never expected that his father would come to the capital to find him, and when he heard Xiao Baichuan's name, he didn't react, and said with a smile: "Master Xiao, guest...... Father?! Xiao Ershao, who was slow to react, finally remembered his father's appearance, isn't it like this.

Hearing him call his father, Xiao Baichuan was also stunned, and after a closer look, he finally recognized Xiao Pengcheng. Surprised and delighted, he pointed at Xiao Ershao and said, "Peng...... Pengcheng? ”

"Daddy, when did you come?" Xiao Ershao, who had completely come back to his senses, was full of joy, and asked excitedly when he took a few steps forward.

"Hehehe, it turned out to be you kid, hahahaha." Xiao Baichuan couldn't help laughing, it really took no effort to break through the iron shoes and find nowhere to get them, but he didn't expect that the Xiao Dong family he wanted to see was his second boy.

Above the court, Shen Chongming, who followed Liu Shouyou to the court early in the morning, still felt dizzy, and he couldn't remember how much he drank last night. It's just that after being woken up by thirst this morning, Erdan told himself that Liu Shouyou was waiting for him to go to the court with him at the yamen next door, and he hastily cleaned up and went out of the Four Seas Martial Arts Hall.

After a few days of preparation, Ouyang Jingzhi had just collected a lot of materials to prepare for the impeachment of Guo Mingyi today, when he saw Shen Chongming appearing among the ministers waiting to enter the palace, he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart. This matter is a coincidence, if it weren't for the preparation for Guo Mingyi's impeachment today, as soon as Shen Chongming returns, the issue of the position that has been depressed for a few days should be put on the agenda again.

"Brother Liu, why didn't you see Xu Jie?" Shen Chongming glanced at the crowd, and saw a few people he knew, but he didn't see Xu Jie's figure, and he couldn't help but ask a little strangely in his heart.

Liu Shouyou smiled and whispered: "Xu Ge is sick, because of your business, hehe." ”

Shen Chongming was stunned, but he didn't understand the meaning of his words. "Sick because of my business? No, a little marquis, Xu Ge shouldn't put it in his eyes. ”

"It's not a knighthood, it's your new position. For this matter, the emperor has been competing with him, and Xu Ge is in a hurry to take the courage to recuperate at home. Liu Shouyou said with disdain. This Xu Jie is really old and confused, he can actually do such a thing, but I'm afraid that this Shoufu position can't be kept.
