Chapter Seventy-One: The County Uncle's Mansion

In the middle of winter, it was dark very early, and when it was only dawning, four horses floated out of Hongshan Town, and it was Xu Qing and his party. Xu Qing originally wanted to go back to the mansion and let Yang Wen or Xun Xiaoer accompany him, so as not to get unnecessary trouble. But Yang Wen said that the work in hand was too important, especially the new method proposed by Xu Qing, he had to think about it for a few days before he was free. Not to mention Xun Xiaoer, as early as when Xu Qing had a meeting, he had already ridden back to Xuzhuang. He wants to go back to see Uncle Xun, which also depends on Xu Qing's admonition.

Yes, Xu Qing can only go back to the mansion by himself. It's funny to say it, but to go back to your own home to be so cringe. However, Yang Wen said that the descendants of the mansion were still the same three years ago, and when it came to it, Xu Qing still looked at the arrangements one by one.

The garden next to the east house, the fish pond in the west garden, the gatekeepers, and the sweepers, all met him back then. Presumably, with Xu Qingzhi's importance, they all remember it.

It's just that because Yang Wen is thinking about optimizing the operation process, there is another important thing that he hasn't explained to Xu Qing. When Xu Qing walked halfway, Yang Wen suddenly remembered, and hurriedly called a henchman to inform Xu Qing quickly.

It is said that when Xu Qing walked halfway, it was already dark, but fortunately, the moon tore through the dark clouds at this time and showed it obediently, and it was very big. When the moonlight is sprinkled, the snow on the road is shining with silver, and the branches in the snow are scattered, as if it is the freehand of a great calligrapher and painter.

Xu Qing looked up and remembered that today is not sixteen, the moon of fifteen is sixteen, no wonder the moon is so big today. In other words, isn't it just that there are only ten days for the New Year?

With the help of the moonlight, it is easier to travel than in the evening, and it seems that the road in Hongshan Town has also been repaired and is open and flat. After a while, the sound of horses' hooves remembered outside the door of the mansion, the mansion was luxurious and magnificent, towering like a mountain, and the five words "Luonan County Bofu" written on the door plaque made countless people look up.

It stands to reason that in this dark hour, everyone should have slept, and even if they didn't sleep, they all hid in the house to roast the fire. But Xu Qing turned his eyes to look inside the West Garden, but saw that the lights were bright, there seemed to be a singing, dancing, drinking banquet, and the sound of silk and bamboo.

Xu Qing wondered in his heart: Is there anyone else in the family? Who would dare to make such a pompous banquet in my house?

Luonan County Bofu, is the acquisition of the former family surnamed Hu landlord family old house renovation, the original Hu landlord family is several brothers, relatives live together, closed like a small village. Therefore, the area of this house is quite large. There is a flower garden in the west, there is a living pond in the garden, planted with lotus flowers, raising carp, it is a good place to take a walk in the shade and see the scenery.

There is no wall on the west side of the garden, only a fence is set up on the periphery, and there is a wall between the west garden and the mansion, and a small door is opened. The west garden is in the mansion, like a back garden. There is also an east garden, which can be regarded as a front garden, and the east garden is enclosed within the wall.

The sound of silk and bamboo came from Xiyuan. Xu Qing's heart moved, his footsteps turned, and he led the horse to Xiyuan.

In the West Garden, I saw that there was a pavilion by the living pond, and there were two women standing in the straight pavilion, one woman held a pipa, and a woman had a piano in front of her, and in front of them, there were seven or eight men, and they looked like scholars. Three bonfires were set up around the pavilion, which were burned in unison, both for heating and lighting.

Xu Qing stood outside the fence and heard someone in the pavilion saying:

"Tonight, the moonlight reflects the snow, and the beautiful woman sings, it should be a beautiful day, come, everyone, when the big white is floating."

"Alas, I have such a good life today, thanks to Uncle Xuxian ......"

"That's not it, but the county uncle is out of the house, and I can't help."

"Hmm...... It's a pity, I'm waiting for a talent, but it's a pity that I'm not by the county uncle's side, it's a pity that it's a pity ......"

When Xu Qing heard it, isn't this a sitting eater. During the Warring States Period, several sons received a wide range of guests, no matter how many or few, as long as there is a skill, they will pay to support you in case of emergency, which is the earliest talent reserve plan. Of course, there are also those who don't have a skill, and those people are high-level cannon fodder. Xu Qing thought to himself, I have never instructed the doorkeepers, how can anyone come to take refuge?

"Hey, I said gentlemen, what is the pity? It's true that the county uncle is out of the house, and we can't wait for it, but it just makes us so happy......"

"Hey, hey, hey, it's extreme......"

"By the way, what if the county uncle comes back? The county uncle never said that he would accept customers, and we came here to persuade Yang Wen. ”

"If you come back...... Hmph, what else, let's use the same set of persuasion Yang Wen again, I don't believe it, the dignified county uncle can still push a few of us out, he is not afraid of being ridiculed by scholars? I see, he just broke his teeth and swallowed ......"

"Yes, we wait for the scholars to take refuge in him, because we look up to him, and if he pushes us out, there will be people who will take refuge in him? Hmph, it won't...... It's just that the pleasure and freedom that I am waiting for will be restricted. ”

"Okay, okay, the county uncle is still thousands of miles away, maybe he will come back that year......"

Xu Qing was outside the fence, that was called an anger, if a really talented person came to join him, he would have been happy. It's just that these people in front of me are famous and famous, eating and drinking as if I am a scholar and I represent the world's talents. If you don't serve him well, they will always go outside and talk nonsense, saying things like "Xu Qing loves money and doesn't love talents" and "doesn't respect intellectuals". then stood on the moral high ground and described Xu Qing as a snob.

If such a bastard who eats and drinks makes Xu Qing angry, what they say next will make Xu Qing even more unbearable.

"Hahaha, that's right, whatever, whatever, now he's free, he's worried about him every day."

"Yo Yo Yo, have you started to write poetry?"

"It's just that, brothers, little brother, I think there is something that is particularly pity......

"What's the matter?"

"Yang Wen's kid let us live here, eat and drink, and have a lot of money every month, which is good, but people also guard us against it......"

"How?"

"You see, this county has three gates, a gate, two gates, and an inner gate. Where do we live? ”

"We live inside the gate,"

"Yes, the house at the gate is only for ordinary people, and the wing room inside the second gate is for distinguished guests. Food, drink, money, those are all appearances, do to see others, this place to live hides a mystery, is my real status in the county uncle's mansion! ”

"What a Yang Wen! Within the second door is the male and female maids, it turns out that I am not as good as the next person in his family! ”

"Hehe, don't be angry. I have observed in the past few days that the maids in the second gate are just ordinary women who do laundry, cooking, and sweeping, and within the three gates, they live in the beautiful kabuki that others gave to the county uncle! ”
