398. Extra meals
When Xu Xiaole greeted a room of people to celebrate Gao Zhiyuan's release from prison, Xu Huo sat alone in the living room of Shoufu Chen Xun. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Chen Xun has already received a notice, and the name card reads Xu Youzhen after learning from Wu County, Suzhou Prefecture. He was sure that he was not old and confused, and he didn't know "Xu Youzhen". But as soon as he saw the face of the visitor, a smile bloomed on his face.
Xu Youzhen is Xu Hui's new name.
Chen Xun originally thought that Xu Hui would be entangled for a while, and changing his name and surname was a major event in life. Who knew that Xu Hui was released from prison today, and he would visit him under a new name at night, which was really refreshing. He remembered that when he was in the Hanlin Academy, Sanyang appreciated Xu Hui very much, saying that he had the talent to slaughter and assist. Now it seems that this person is not only talented, but also very measured.
When Xu Huo saw Chen Xun come out, he got up and saluted, and said with a smile: "Fang Zhou Gong, this time I have to work to save me, and I don't thank you for my great kindness, I just want to repay it in the future." ”
Chen Xun beckoned Xu Huo to take a seat and sighed: "Youzhen is a good name." ”
Xu Huo smiled and didn't answer. Although the name Youzhen is good, it is a shame in life after all.
Chen Xun sat firmly on the Taishi chair before he spoke: "Yuanyu, what are you doing here tonight?" ”
Xu Youzhen was not verbose, and said straightforwardly: "Come again today to congratulate Fangzhou Communiqué." ”
Chen Xun looked at Xu Youzhen and gently touched his belt. Before Xu Youzhen was imprisoned, he was given a jade belt. He was amazed and asked why. Xu Youzhen said: There are signs in the stars, and Fangzhou Gong should enter Shaobao. Regardless of whether Xu Youzhen got the news at that time and pretended to be in the astrological situation, or was really able to understand the mysteries of the stars, Chen Xunzhen quickly added the title of prince and entered the Wenyuan Pavilion University.
I didn't expect the same good news to come again today.
Chen Xun smiled and said, "Yuanyu, you just saw the starry sky again today, can you see it?" ”
Xu Youzhen said: "The art of stargazing is not necessary to see, but to see. Shao Bao goes one step further, there is no doubt, but it's a pity that I don't have a jade belt to give today. ”
Chen Xun understood what Xu Youzhen meant, served tea to the guests, and said at the same time: "I knew that Yuanyu was proficient in all the world's knowledge. The old man is now the president of "Huanyu Tongzhi", if Yuanyu has time, he can help. "This is the back door that Chen Xun opened for Xu Youzhen, although it is not in the establishment, as long as there is a meritorious work, when the time comes, it will still be rewarded.
Xu Youzhen got up to say goodbye and went out of Chen Xun's mansion. He knew that the door to return to officialdom had been opened, and he had no worries in his heart, so he took two steps casually before he remembered that he was homeless, and he had to go to his nephew Xu Xiaole to stay temporarily tonight.
……
When Xu Xiaole and the others came home from Baidaiju, they saw Xu Youzhen sitting alone at the door, with her hands on her cheeks, looking up at the sky.
Xu Xiaole was surprised: "Uncle, you can actually find here." ”
Xu Youzhen was a little annoyed: "You kid can't speak too much, and I'm not stupid, how can I not find it?" ”
Gao Zhiyuan was already drunk for five points, much more cheerful than usual, and said, "Brother Yuanyu, have you had dinner?" ”
Xu Youzhen waited for the sky to get dark and went to Chen Xun's house, relying on the snacks that were paddled in the soup in the afternoon. At this moment, when Gao Zhiyuan asked, his stomach suddenly let out a wail, and he couldn't tell everyone that he was still hungry.
Xu Xiaole originally thought that the clan uncle was a traitor like Qin Hui, but later learned that he was also confused for a while, and he went more than two hundred years later. As the so-called old horse stumbles, who doesn't make a mistake? Therefore, there is nothing to worry about Xu Youzhen. Seeing that the clan uncle was still hungry, he said: "Uncle, I just brought cooked food back today, called Ruonan is hot, let's drink two more cups." ”
Luo Yun was already almost drunk, and he was at the point where others said he was drunk, but he was sure that he was not drunk. He said, "Drink...... I can still drink a jar! ”
Xu Xiaole and Gao Ruonan were about to persuade him not to be drunk, to stand firm first and not to shake before talking, Xu Youzhen said: "Good son! But I see that you are tired after drinking this wine, so I will go to bed and rest first, and then call you when the wine and food are ready. ”
Luo Yun staggered into the door, thinking that this was really a good idea, so he said, "Then I'll accompany Uncle Xu to drink later, and go lie down first." As he spoke, he entered his room, only to hear a thud, as if a heavy object had been slammed against the bed, and soon there was a snoring sound.
Xu Xiaole said to Xu Youzhen: "Uncle, he is a heartless person, don't be surprised." ”
Xu Youzhen smiled: "What's this?" I've seen even stranger old men. Let's have another meal. He saw that Gao Ruonan was clearly a woman, but she was wearing men's clothes, and he instantly knew that this was to avoid suspicion, so he would not pull her along.
Gao Zhiyuan was poured out of his ambitions at the banquet tonight, and he was trying to ask Xu Youzhen for an idea, where would he refuse.
Xu Xiaole saw that the cooked dishes prepared for tomorrow would not be able to be saved tonight, and he slandered in his heart: He also said that he went to see a friend, but his friend didn't even invite you to dinner.
He also wronged Chen Xun. Chen Xunnian is a person who has passed the sixtieth year, and pays attention to health preservation. Although he is the first assistant, he only has a small bowl of porridge with a few pickles for dinner every day, and he has not eaten with anyone for many years.
Gao Ruonan drank two or three glasses of fruit wine to celebrate his father's clearance. Others knew that she was a woman, so naturally it was impossible to fill her, so at the moment she was not the slightest drunk, and went into the kitchen with her things.
The meat dishes were all ready-made, and the rice was steamed before leaving in the afternoon. Gao Ruonan stabbed open the fire door, and when he was waiting for the hot food, he had already filled the wine jug and sent it into Xu Xiaole's room very neatly. Because of the simplicity of this house, there is no need to pay attention to etiquette, and the square table in Xu Xiaole's bedroom can have a meal.
After Gao Ruonan served the wine and food, he said: "Xu Shibo, father, please use it slowly, I will clean it up tomorrow." ”
Gao Zhiyuan nodded: "You go to sleep first, I'm tired today." ”
Gao Ruonan retired with a blessed body.
As soon as the door closed, the atmosphere in the room was much more relaxed.
Gao Zhiyuan first toasted Xu Youzhen two glasses of wine, and then began to ask for his "post-edict prison life".
He is now in the prime of life, and the jinshi who was finally passed the examination is willing to go home and become a squire? Of course not! He's counting on the next step. If there is no such thing, after his term in Suzhou expires, he will always have to go up two steps. If you can participate in the politics of a province, or even return to your hometown, it will be much more beautiful than the prefect.
Xu Youzhen deliberately teased him: "I remember that day someone cried and said that he would not be an official." ”
Gao Zhiyuan's face turned red.
Xu Xiaole said: "Uncle, why bother to tease people, come on, this braised hoof is the most delicious." As he spoke, he gave Xu Youzhen a dish.
Gao Zhiyuan was lit by Xu Xiaole, and he covered up: "I have no intention of officialdom, but if I can have an official body, my daughter will be more general when she gets married." It's good for Xiaole, right? ”
Xu Xiaole's chopsticks shook: It's my business! (To be continued.) )
