Chapter Twenty-Three: A Gentleman's Word

Han Shen's home was not far from the mansion, and the three of them said this all the way to Han Shen's door.

knocked on the door, and the porter was stunned as soon as he opened the door, and then said, "Master, why did you come back so early today?" ”

Han Shen said with a smile: "There is an old friend who comes to visit, and there is no official business in the government, so I take my old friend home to entertain him, and by the way, I will reminisce about the old days." Go and tell your lady that a distinguished guest is coming, and ask her to prepare a meal. ”

The porter nodded and said, "The villain will go and inform Madame...... But there are still guests at home, ...... lord"

"Guests? What guests? Han Shen was also stunned, turned his head to look at Zhou Huai's master and apprentice with an embarrassed face, and felt that today was a bit unusual.

Only during the New Year's holidays, the local gentry in Chuzhou come to his house to take a look, otherwise there is basically no one to come to the door on weekdays. It's good today, an old friend came all of a sudden, and an inexplicable guest came, and things were indeed a bit coincidental.

"Isn't Madame's mother's family here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a young woman with a very beautiful face pulling out a young soldier in leather armor.

The young soldier hung his head, looking afraid to see anyone. Han Shen thought for a long time, but didn't remember that he had an extramarital affair, and after ruling out the possibility that these two people were his illegitimate children, Han Shen frowned and asked, "......Who are you two?"

Zhou Huai sneered and said, "The two of them came with me." ”

"Oh!" Han Shen suddenly realized and complained: "Why are you still divided into two batches, can't you come together?" Are these two also your Zhou Jinyu's closed disciples? Tell me about it. ”

Zhou Huai laughed again, and said hesitantly: "This young man has nothing to do with me, but it has a lot to do with you." ”

Han Shen hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Brother Jinyu, you can't talk nonsense, my feelings for my wife have never changed, and I have never been with a woman outside." ”

"No, you're thinking too much. There's a good chance he'll be your son-in-law......"

"Huh?"

Tang Ning felt that something was wrong, as soon as the master finished saying this, there was an extra knife on his neck, if he finished telling the truth, the master would die before he could leave the school.

This can't be done, so he carefully took down the knife in Han Shen's hand and threw it into the grass in the yard, and persuaded: "If you have something to say, Han Zhizhou, what kind of knife to use, don't hurt the harmony." ”

Han Shen pointed to Qi Fu, who had just raised his head, and said, "You don't know who he is, do you?" This little bastard is a thief on Jiudou Mountain, who used to come to the city to visit the Qinglou when he had nothing to do, and you said he would be my son-in-law?

Although my Han family is not a famous family, the threshold at the door of the house is not high, and although the little girl suffers from eye disease, it is not something that can be married to an inexplicable cat or dog.

For the sake of Brother Jinyu's face, I won't kick him out of the house, otherwise he won't want to step into the door of my Han family.

Don't mention this, Brother Jinyu, you and I are only talking about the old days today, not anything else. ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for others to speak, turned his head and strode into the house.

Several people had no choice but to keep up. Tang Ning glanced at Master, scratched his head and said, "Master, this seems to be a bit difficult." He almost turned his face just because you said a possibility, and it seems that he takes his precious daughter very seriously. ”

"There is no mother in the world who doesn't love her son, and there is no father who doesn't love her daughter." Zhou Huai said with a smile: "But don't panic, apprentice, everything is under the control of the teacher." ”

It's all in this situation, and the master can still say this without changing his face

The words really made Tang Ning a little admired.

This kind of mentality of Taishan collapsing in front of him and not changing his face, Tang Ning felt that he needed to study hard.

looked at the master with admiration, and Tang Ning naturally opened his mouth to come when he patted his ass: "Master is really a god and a man, and he is strategic, and his wisdom is unparalleled."

You are simply the reincarnation of Zhuge , the contemporary Kong Ming! ”

Zhou Huai had goosebumps, because of his personality, almost no subordinates dared to talk to him so flamboyantly in the early years.

It wasn't until he accepted Tang Ning, an apprentice who was full of oil and humor, that he almost made up for all the sycophants that had not been slapped in the first half of his life.

"Alright, stop talking nonsense. How can the teacher have this ability to compare with Zhuge Kongming, now follow him in, and then bring up this matter when we eat later. ”

The two of them opened their legs and walked forward, and Qi Xianyu had already poked Qi Fu's head for a long time.

"You said you didn't do anything good at the beginning, but you wanted to be a bandit. Forget about being a bandit, and follow the boss to visit the kiln.

I didn't say anything when I visited the kiln, and I was seen by others.

Our old Qi family's face has been lost by you!

Did you hear what they just said? You're so mad at me! I don't know which eye Zhizhou's daughter is blind to see you! ”

"Mer'er doesn't have good eyes either, and she told me that she always sees things in fog." Qi Fu lowered his head and replied in a low voice.

"......" Qi Xianyu only thought that Qi Fu was talking to him, rolled his eyes and fainted. When Tang Ning and Zhou Huai followed Han Shen inside, they stretched out a white finger and nodded Qi Fu, gritting their teeth and saying, "I'll clean you up later, let's go in first!" ”

The four of them followed Han Shen into the front hall, not mentioning this matter, Han Shen was still as enthusiastic as just now. took Zhou Huai's hand and asked him to sit down, and enthusiastically asked Tang Ning and Qi Xianyu to sit down, but Qi Fu ignored him.

Zhou Huai also knew that now was not the time to mention this matter, so he told Han Shen about what happened after the separation in Yanzhou.

"As soon as I said goodbye to Yanzhou, I was ordered to go back to the capital to serve as the secretary of the household department. At that time, the official family had just ascended the throne, and the queen mother controlled the government, reused the old party, and suppressed the people in the new party to the extreme.

Almost every day of the morning dynasty is a chatter and quarrel.

People are constantly being degraded, whether they are capable ministers or ministers, loyal ministers or traitorous ministers. If there is no one to depreciate, the people who have been degraded before will be arrested and degraded again.

Such a court only made me feel resigned, so I resigned and returned to my hometown in Runzhou, only taking my old wife and some servants and guards, ready to retire. ”

"What about your property in Bianliang City?"

"All the rewards from the official family have been returned, and the rest will be handed over to the dogs to take care of. The kid has been idle since he was a child, he doesn't like secluded places, he only likes the bustling city of Tokyo, so it's better for him to stay in Tokyo, anyway, the old man has no shortage of people to serve. ”

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and the things in it are definitely not as light as Zhou Huai said.

Han Shen thought of this, so he no longer asked, but said with emotion: "The old and new party battles have never stopped since the death of Duke Jing and Duke Wen, and all ghosts, snakes, and gods have to jump out and say a word."

Fortunately, I didn't go to the capital to be an official, just listening to you, I feel very dangerous. ”

Zhou Huai smiled bitterly: "Why not? In the midst of a whirlpool, it's hard enough to keep yourself, let alone do things.

If it weren't for that, the old man would not have resigned. ”

"Then why did you come back again?" Han Shen is very curious about this, Zhou Huai has always been a person who says the same, and it is not like Zhou Huai who will do something like this.

"It's not because of this kid." Zhou Huai glanced at Tang Ning and snorted: "If it weren't for him, the old man would still be enjoying Qingfu at home at the moment!"

Originally, as long as the old man sent a letter of recommendation, he could more or less get an official and a half-job and hone his temper first.

But this kid said that he didn't want to be an official, and in desperation, the old man had to pull him out with him. ”

Han Shen looked at Tang Ning again, and said with a smile: "He is worthy of being a disciple trained by the sages of the mountains, but he has strange skills but does not pursue fame and fortune, which is quite rare among young people. ”

Tang Ning arched his hand and said: "The greatest wish of the younger generation is not to be a supreme minister, nor to enjoy all the glory and wealth. Being able to live a peaceful and stable life with the people I love with the people I love is the greatest wish of the younger generation. ”

Qi Xianyu looked at Tang Ning with a shocked face, Tang Ning didn't tell her that at the beginning. At that time, he said that he wanted to make a lot of money and enjoy it so that he would not come to the world in vain.

Tang Ning glanced at Qi Xianyu, which means don't look at me like that, seeing people talking about people, and talking about ghosts is the basic professional skills of people in our sales.

Han Shen patted Tang Ning's shoulder vigorously and said, "The idea is good, but I never know what I will encounter next, this is the joy of life."

You're still young, don't think so old.

The old man will reach the age of knowing the destiny of heaven in a few years, and he doesn't have such thoughts as you. Tell me about you, a young man, how can you be more boring than an old man like me thinks?

If you don't make a big career, won't you be blind to the careful cultivation of you by your two masters? ”

Tang Ning arched his hand and said ashamedly: "What Han Zhizhou said is that the younger generation has been taught. ”

While he was talking, a slightly richly dressed woman came up with several maids carrying trays.

Han Shen pointed at the woman and smiled, "Brother Jinyu, this is my wife." ”

The woman bowed, pursed her lips and smiled: "I heard that a distinguished guest is visiting, and the concubine has specially prepared some meals for you to enjoy. ”

Han Shen interjected: "The food cooked by my wife is delicious and tight, and I usually don't cook on weekdays, I am stained with your light Brother Jinyu." ”

Zhou Huai got up and arched his hand: "Thank you brother and daughter-in-law, it seems that the foolish brother can feast on it today." ”

The woman smiled and said: "Don't dare to be, the concubine's cooking skills are only half-baked, and outsiders are used to eating it, so they think it is delicious." I hope it will suit the tastes of several people. ”

After that, the maids had already put the food on the table.

The woman looked at Qi Xianyu strangely, but didn't say anything. He saluted again and withdrew.

The maid put the wine on the table just now, and Zhou Huai waved his hand when he saw the wine and said, "Don't drink, don't drink, don't drink today." ”

Han Shen understood this and instructed the maid to remove the wine again. I first took a dish with chopsticks, took a bite, and said with a face full of enjoyment: "Brother Jinyu, you will have to come often if you have a chance in the future."

My wife never cooks at home, and only shows her hands when guests come. You also know that I am not very popular, so if I want to eat the food cooked by my wife, I will have to rely on you. ”

Zhou Huai smiled: "If there is a chance, I will definitely come back to see you." ”

"A gentleman's word?"

"It's hard to chase a horse!"
