Chapter Forty-Eight: The Flower Eunuch and the Hero

"I don't want a few uncles to come to the cold house, Ximen Qing is far away, please don't blame you. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Ximen Qing just entered the hall, and sang to everyone, and then ordered: "Jue'an, you are a dog, and you don't give you good tea and soup to entertain, and you neglect a few uncles, see if I don't carefully uncover your skin." ”

"Da Lang doesn't have to worry about it, I'll come here suddenly, but it's us who should pay for it." The one who talked was the shopkeeper of the county's silk village, with a big belly and a face full of oil.

Ximen Qing nodded at him and smiled: "Uncle Guo's business is good these days?" “

"It's okay."

Ximen Qinggong bowed his hand to greet everyone separately, and did not talk about business, but just invited everyone to drink tea. There are about a dozen of these people, most of them are housekeepers of major shops in the county, and there are also a few small merchants and hawkers, but they are not in Ximenqing's eyes.

Everyone couldn't hold his thoughts, and someone spoke first: "Da Lang, you taught Shen Zhong a few days ago, and asked him to go to my home to apologize, and returned a few pieces of silver, several of us are grateful in our hearts, I wanted to thank you at home, but the store is too busy, and I can't spare time for a while. ”

Too busy in the store? I'm afraid that I'm still afraid of Shen Zhong's prestige, and now I know that Shen Zhong is a stabbing match, but I came to the door.

Although Ximenqing knows their thoughts, he doesn't pursue them, and he is a generous and talented person. waved his hand and said: "This is not worth anything, where can I still deserve the gratitude of your uncles, Shen Zhong's house is in trouble in the county, even if I don't make a move, I also have a hero to clean him up, nothing should be done, as for asking him to go to your house to make amends and repay the silver, it is what this guy should be, where is there any word of thanks." ”

"Although there is some truth in Da Lang's words, but if you don't have your head, we don't know how much we have been exploited by that guy, in order to chat and express our gratitude, we all discussed a charter, and in the future, we will give Shen Zhong the filial piety in your hands, so that people can say that we are not ungrateful." Shopkeeper Guo continued to persuade.

Ximenqing shook his head and said: "Where is this, everyone is a villager in the county, and they have always treated me kindly, how can I accept the goods of a few uncles, and if I want my father to come back and know, and don't break my legs, don't do this." ”

"Brother Simon is back, there is our own place to say, not to mention that this is my own voluntarily, even if I respect my relatives, I can't say anything."

Ximen Qing wanted to refuse, and everyone persuaded each other, and Na Juan saw the opportunity next to him and said: "Little master, since it is the intention of several shopkeepers, you might as well accept it for the time being, don't spoil their intentions." ”

Ximenqing's old face was a tiger, and he pretended to scold: "What kind of character are you, how dare you speak like this, dare not ruin my reputation?" ”

All the shopkeepers are human spirits, how can they not know that the two of them are singing double reeds, but since Ximen Qing has such a posture, everyone feels a little better in their hearts, and they have persuaded him: "Da Lang scolded, what this little guy said is reasonable, who doesn't know that you Ximen Da Lang is a luxurious character, and we have to ask you to take care of our business in the future." ”

Ximen Qing scolded Ju An a few words, and under the persuasion of everyone, he also stopped, and sighed: "Since this is the case, then I will reluctantly accept it, but first say okay, I only need half of what you gave to Shen Zhong in the past, and I don't want it." ”

A group of shopkeepers knew that Ximenqing was a ruthless person, and he was ready to cut his flesh and bleed, but when he heard his words, they were all happy in their hearts, after all, no one thought that their silver was a little more.

Xin said: "People on the street say that Ximenqing is extravagant and benevolent, and now it seems that it also means a little. ”

Ximenqing looked at everyone's faces, and knew that the heat was almost over, "If a few people don't dislike the humble house, don't leave today, I've used wine and meat in my house, and it's not too late to go back." ”

When everyone saw that he had received the money, they knew that the matter had been decided, and they also had the heart to put on a little close, so they said, "In this way, I will disturb Dalang." ”

"This Dongping Mansion has entered the palace since our house, and I haven't come back for some years, and now it seems that most of them are still the same, but most of them are probably gone, so what the words written by Hou Zhu Li say that things are people and things are resting, I think this is what I said." The flower eunuch who served the official family in the palace recently received the grace of God, and was fortunate to go back to Dongping Mansion to visit relatives, and met several juniors in the family, but he was good friends with his peers, and most of them were no longer alive, and it was inevitable that there were some relatives in his heart for a while.

"Aren't we coming back, third uncle? It is better to stay here for a few days and then return to the palace, I think that the magnanimity of the saint is not allowed, so that I can wait for you a little longer, as a sign of my filial piety. Huazi said weakly to the flower eunuch.

Although the eunuch has no human roots, his personality is extreme and good for money, but he does attach great importance to family affection, although he still has nephews and relatives in his family, but there is only one Hua Zixu, he has saved a lot of money in the palace, and he will leave it to him to enjoy in the future, but this nephew is also filial, and he has been serving diligently these days, without the slightest neglect.

"Hey, I came out this time, it was the grace of the official saint, where do you dare to delay time, let's go to Yanggu again in a few days, people will return to their hometowns, and the leaves will return to their roots, I will buy you a family business there, and then ask you a lover, and when I return to my hometown in the future, I will have a place to go."

Eunuch Hua was talking, and suddenly felt a figure walking in front of him, he fixed his eyes to see, who was not Ximenqing's father Ximenda, the two had intersected since childhood, and had a bit of friendship, and then Eunuch Hua's family fell into the middle of the road, and went to the palace to be a eunuch for a living, so the contact was broken.

At this time, how can you not be happy when you meet an old person on the street?

"Simenda." Eunuch Hua's voice not only scared Simenda a shiver, but even his nephew Hua Zixu next to him jumped in his heart.

Simenda was shopping for New Year's goods in the street, and suddenly heard someone shouting to him, turned his head to look, and was stunned.

"Are you...... Are you the third flower? Hua Guoan? Did you go to Tokyo? What's going on here? ”

"I have the grace of the official family, I came back to take care of it, I didn't meet the deceased for a while, I was sad, I didn't want to meet you, it was a great joy, let's go, you and I went to have a drink, I haven't seen you for many years, but you are old." Eunuch Hua grabbed Simenda's arm and dragged him to the restaurant.

Simenda was reluctant to go, but firstly, the eunuch Hua was indeed his old friend, and he was good friends when he was young, although he became a eunuch, he had not seen him for a long time, and he still had a little friendship, and secondly, the eunuch Hua was a person in the palace, and he didn't want to offend.

"Brother, you have caused a lawsuit this time, if you stay in the county, I am afraid that it will not look good, if you go out of the city at night tonight, no one will be able to catch you, you have all these soft pieces for expenses on the road, but when there is news, I hope to send a message back."

"If I'm gone, won't it hurt you?" The person who spoke was tall, with narrow leather boots under his feet, two fists and bones, and a three-pronged yellow beard, and his face was full of hideousness at this time.

"How did my brother forget, who my master is, and he is a favor, although I can't take care of my brother and don't suffer lawsuits, but no one can provoke me."

"But ......"

"Brother Hugh wants to say more, don't you go and wait for someone to come to the door to get it? Then you and I will be gone! ”

The man sighed with hatred, took the gold and silver, and went out.

The man behind him chased a few steps and said in a low voice: "Brother is going, there are two places to go, I heard that there are two heroes on our Shandong Road, one is Song Jiang and Song Gongming, who is righteous and extravagant, known as Xiaoyi Hei Saburo." There is also Ximen Qing of Yanggu Xian, Dongping Mansion, who is also a good man who is benevolent and extravagant. When the elder brother goes, he can only vote for the two of them. ”

The man nodded and turned to go.

ps: In the first year of Song Xuanhe (1119 AD), Yunzhou was promoted to Dongping Mansion, and I wrote it directly as Dongping Mansion here, saving the trouble of changing it in the future.
