Chapter 110: Cheng Bites Jin Who Can't Sleep
In Xufu, Chang'an, at night, the women were tired from the road and rested early. Xu Qing and Xun Fang were discussing in the study. Suddenly, there was a sound of slapping the table in the study, and it turned out that Xu Qing was angry. I only heard him scolding: "You, you, Xun Fang, Xun Fang, a poor prefect, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, you are running a huge Xu Ji in Chang'an, and it is only 80,000 in two years, what do you tell me to say?" ”
Xun Fang pursed his mouth and returned: "Brother-in-law, you have wronged me, you also know that this area in Chang'an City is very expensive, and one step at a time, if you buy a house here, you have to spend a bunch of silver for nothing." Hey, 80,000 taels is cash, and the property over there in Yankang Fang is worth it."
Xu Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he was joking just now, he said to Xun Fang: "You just said that the imperial court made you an official?" ”
Xun Fang pondered for a moment and said, "That's right, but I don't want to be a Beijing official." ”
Xu Qing thought about it, he didn't want to be a Beijing official, didn't he still want to be an official, so he asked, "Then where do you want to go?" ”
Xun Fang returned: "I want to go back to Luonan, and I can go around, but if I can't do it, go to Luoyang." ”
Xu Qing nodded, at this time, the undercurrent of Chang'an was surging, and it was really not good to stay long, so he nodded and said: "I want to find a way to do this matter, and within this year, let you wear the official uniform." However, when you go to work in other places, don't think that the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, so you are insatiable and act recklessly. ”
Xun Fangzheng said: "Brother-in-law, don't look down on people so much, I want to do things for the people and live for generations." ”
After thinking about it, Xun Fang grabbed Xu Qing and asked, "Brother-in-law, what, eh, why did my brother-in-law marry so many ......?"
Facing his brother-in-law's "cross-examination", Xu Qing was stunned and replied: "Don't blame me for this, when your sister was pregnant, she was forced into my bed, and she was drunk at the time, so ......"
Xun Fang didn't seem to understand, but Ren Ran nodded. Xu Qing also rested and didn't say anything all night.
Early the next morning, the sound of a hammer sounded outside the door, and someone shouted: "Uncle Xu, Uncle Xu, help!" ”
Xu Qing was having breakfast at this time, and when he heard this voice, he naturally knew that Cheng Chumo was here, and he gave him two jars of wine and a pound of tea yesterday, which should be able to cure Cheng Chumo's drowsiness, why is Cheng Chumo still asking for help.
Presumably Cheng Chumo has also been here a few times, the old man recognized him, put it in, and saw that the clothes on his body were beaten to pieces, or pajamas, his face was blue and swollen, where is there a look of a little grandfather, purely a drunk who went to the kiln and was beaten without money.
When Cheng Chumo saw Xu Qing, he immediately knelt down and said, "Uncle Xu, you want to save me." ”
Xu Qing asked, "What's the matter, your father beat you again?" ”
Cheng Chumo shook his head and said, "No, I fell by myself." ”
"What, what's going on?"
Cheng Chu wiped a handful of bitter tears and said: "Alas, yesterday I gave my father the tea given by my uncle, saying that this can be refreshing." My dad was so happy that he brewed the tea leaves. After drinking, he didn't sleep, but he, but he couldn't sleep at night! When he arrived at the third watch, he still didn't feel sleepy, so he went back to the room and got a three-plate axe, and played in the courtyard. ”
"If I didn't play enough, my father went to make trouble along Suzaku Street, and the grandfather on Suzaku Street was woken up by my father, but he still couldn't sleep after the trouble. When I got home, he blamed me and chased me out with a three-plate axe, and I was so desperate that I jumped into the well to escape. The well is dry, or I will freeze to death."
Hearing this, Xu Qing had no choice but to smile bitterly, put on pajamas and stood outside for a night, you haven't frozen to death yet, you are strong enough. These two fathers and sons are really crazier than the other. However, Xu Qing is strange, although this tea is refreshing, can it make you unable to sleep all night, right?
So Xu Qing asked:
"When did Grandpa Cheng drink tea?"
"Evening,"
"Hmm, how much did Brother Cheng soak in?"
"All, all soaked ......"
"It's all brewed, a pound of tea, Brother Cheng has drunk it?"
"I drank it all, my father said it was bitter and bitter, but he said that good medicine is good for disease, and even the tea was eaten!"
Xu Qing's face was black, drinking a pound of tea at a time, and even drinking tea together, no wonder you couldn't sleep.
"Can't you drink it?"
"Of course you can't drink it, just put a handful of this tea at a time. Xu Qingzhi shook his head and said, "Since you are here, you must not have had breakfast yet, so sit down and eat together." ”
Cheng Chumo looked at the table and several aunts were also there, so he hesitated and said, "Uncle, the aunts are here, so I won't bother." ”
Xu Qing smiled and said, "Sit down, we don't have that rule in our family,"
Xun Xue'er also said: "Nephew, well, just sit down and eat,"
"Thank you, Auntie, thank you, Uncle."
But when Cheng Chumo sat down, Xu Qing regretted it, this guy is too edible! On weekdays, Xu Qing's breakfast always has a lot left, but today he almost lost the plate. That's not all, Xu Qing and the others have eaten seven or eight minutes early, and it doesn't hurt if they don't eat. But Cheng Chumo, this guy saw that there was no food on Table Mountain, he smiled, went to the kitchen with a plate, and the kitchen was tossed for a while, and when he saw that people were still eating, he squeezed over again.
When it was over, Cheng Chu said bluntly that the food at Xu Qing's house was delicious, and he would often come to eat it in the future. Xu Qing said, don't, I'll move another day, and I'll never tell you where I am.
Yesterday, Du Ruhui told Xu Qing to keep himself clean and not to mingle with others, so Xu Qing thought that he would find a quiet house close to the palace, otherwise, he would simply go to find a house outside the city and settle Xun Xueer and them there, away from the place of right and wrong.
The follow-up convoy will take a few days to arrive, and Xu Qing is not in a hurry, thinking that it will not be too late to go to the next dynasty. In the past few days, you can accompany a few women, a huge Chang'an City, and a few women haven't been shopping yet. Especially Luo Xiuxiu and Huang Shimei, they came from afar and never saw Chang'an City.
Xu Qing proposed to go to the West Market for a visit, Xun Xueer said that she would not go if she wanted to take the child, Xiaoyue said that the weather was too cold, and she was a little unwell, so she stayed at home to help Xun Xueer take the child. Only Huang Shimei and Luo Xiuxiu were willing to go, and took the cattle to graze and Yang Cheng, and Xu Qing went to Chang'an West City.
It's just strange when Satsuki became unwell.
Someone is responsible for cleaning the streets in Chang'an City, and it is impossible for snow to have snow, Xu Qing put the carriage in Yankangfang and led Luo Xiuxiu and Huang Shimei to the West Market. Now that the New Year has just arrived, and the snow is heavy, Xu Qing thinks that there should not be many people in Xishi. But when I got to the West Market, I found that there was a lot of traffic and a tide of people. Huang Shimei reminded Xu Qing that today is the Lantern Festival, and the festival will be out tomorrow.
I saw people coming and going in the streets, each breathing hot air, and above the people's heads, it was like a cloud. Xu Qing took the hands of the two daughters tightly and took them to see the stalls and storefronts one by one.
