Chapter 203: A Sudden Change
Ximen Qing calculated how to fiddle with Zhu Mian and Gao Yu, but before the means were used, a feeling of uneasiness suddenly arose in his heart, could it be that he saved Lu Jiang from the incident? Or is it that someone is plotting to kill himself behind his back, and he can't think about it, and he can't help but comfort himself in his heart, but it's just a lot of heart.

Despite this, Ximen Qing called Xue Yong and told them to disperse, keep an eye on Zhu Mian's house, and at the same time inquire about the news in Beijing to see if there is anything else.
Because of the panic in his heart, he didn't read a few invitations from Fan Lou, and Jue An sent back the news, and there was no rumor in the Jingshi, and Zhu Mian didn't have any other movements, could it be that he was really too careful? I was bored in the inn, thinking about whether to go to the street to relax, and just arrived at the door, but I saw Lin Chong and Han Shizhong rushing over.
Han Shizhong saw Ximen Qing and sang a big song deeply, Ximen Qing was surprised: "Why is my brother so gifted?" ”
Lin Chong said with a smile: "I thought that the Ximen brothers were heroes in the rivers and lakes, but I didn't know that brother, you are also a romantic and talented man with an official body. are all guessing where you are a hero, brother, Brother Han is a soldier under the account of the old breed and a little bit of justice, for your first word, he should do this salute. ”
Ximenqing learned what was going on after hearing this, and hurriedly helped Han Shizhong up, and said modestly: "But while the wine is booming, it's good that the old breed doesn't like it, how dare you be a brother's gift?" ”
Han Shizhong opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Brother Ximen, you are too modest, I have listened to it, those literati in the Beijing Division say that this word is very well written, it is a first-class good poem, hehe, it will be transmitted back to Yan'an Mansion in a few days, and the old man will be happy when he sees it." ”
Ximenqing waved his hand and said a few words modestly.
Han Shizhong asked again: "Why didn't my brother see him in front of the street for days?" I also want to find the two elder brothers Bian Xiang and Ji Sheng to compete in martial arts. ”
"Brother Bian has something to do when he goes out, and he will do it in a while, as for Brother Bian, because there is something idle at home, he wants him to go back to the house, and he will go back to Shandong Road first. Today the two of you came just in time, I don't know how recently, my stomach is bored, and I have a brother to accompany me to eat and drink, just to solve my worries. ”
Since he wanted to eat wine, Ximen Qing sat down in the secluded pavilion, and called the bartender to put down the wine, meat, fruits and vegetables, Han Shizhong asked, "Why is my brother bored?" ”
Ximenqing shook his head and didn't say anything, it wasn't that he was hiding, but he really didn't know where to start, but he raised his wine glass and ate three glasses in a row.
Lin Chong and the two saw each other, so they didn't ask much, they only accompanied them to eat and drink together, picked up some witty words, and after a few more glasses, Han Shizhong said: "Brother is upset, I heard that Fanlou is excellent, brother has come to Tokyo Bianzhou City, and has never been there, it is better to choose a day than to hit the sun, brother is the east, please ask the two brothers to go to Fanlou to play?" There are poems like Brother Simon knocking on the door, and the younger brother takes advantage of the east wind to see what the Oiran Li Shishi looks like. ”
"I'm a pickled idler, how can I see the head of the Fan Building, I can't help but laugh and be generous, but if you're interested, brother, let's go and take a look." Ximen Qing said.
Just as he was getting up to leave, suddenly Gezi Jue'an led a person and rushed into the restaurant, and when he saw Ximenqing, the two of them fell to the ground with a pop.
Ximenqing exclaimed: "Second Uncle Liu, why are you here?" Get up and talk. ”
It was Second Uncle Liu who came with Jue An, but seeing that he was covered in dust, dirt, and dirty, he saw Ximenqing, his face was sad, and he couldn't stop crying.
Ximen Qing saw a sudden chill in his heart, could it be that the panic in his heart these days was due to an accident at home? When you go by yourself, don't you make all the arrangements? Even if someone takes advantage of his absence to find trouble, there are Fu Ping and no Du Wei in Chinese, who can provoke them?
Could it be that he is the second elder in the family?
"But something happened to my father?" Ximen Qing asked anxiously.
Second Uncle Liu was full of grief, unable to speak, took out a letter from his arms, and hurriedly handed it to Ximenqing, what kind of man Second Uncle Liu is, if it wasn't for an accident at home, the stunt would not be like this.
When Ximen Qing came to see, the cover was sealed backwards, and there was no word "peace", and his heart was already cold.
Tearing open the letter, reading it halfway from the beginning, tears flowed down his face, his heart was cold, and he didn't know when the letter in his hand slipped from his hand and fell to the ground slowly, Ximen Qing tightened his clothes, when did the day become so cold, cold to the bone.
Since Ximen Qing left Yanggu, Li because of a moment of greed, eat more cold cakes, stomach trouble, the second day invited the doctor to see, with a few pairs of medicine is good, no one in the family has not been careful, after all, although Li is weak, but in recent years the body is good, but who would have thought, not a day again, this time also accompanied by a cold, the doctor read a few times, are not good, that night left, the old man and Li are very affectionate, see the beloved wife gone, handwritten a letter to the family, also died suddenly.
Within ten days, even the loss of two close relatives, how sad Ximenqing's heart was, although he had crossed here, but the second elder of Ximenda, his care for himself, had never been less than half a point, and now he has not fulfilled his filial piety in front of him, why did he leave?
Is this the so-called son who wants to raise but does not want to be married? Woohoo hurts!
At this time, Han De and several people also got the news and rushed back, and when they saw Ximen Qing's family letter, they all came to consol him.
Ximen Qing clenched his fists, sighed, turned around and bowed to Lin Chong and said: "My parents are dead, if I don't go back, I will do my best to be a son of man, what is the difference between animals!" Brother Lin is a person in Jingshi, he must know that there are people who sell good horses, no matter how much the price is, but please help buy a few, Ximenqing is grateful. ”
Where did Lin Chong dare to be, and said bluntly: "You and I are brothers, and this matter will be on Lin, but please wait for a while, and come later." "Let's go out.
Han Shizhong saw it and said: "Brother, when I came to Tokyo, the old breeder gave me a good horse, a good horse for a thousand miles, if you don't like it, I rode it, don't say much." ”
Ximenqing looked at him gratefully, but after a day of acquaintance, he was able to give away his mounts, which was really a righteous man, you must know that the horses he sat on were sent by the old breeders, and they were among the best horses among the thousands.
At this time, it was extraordinary, and Ximenqing didn't say much, only said: "Great grace is not thankful." ”
Han Shizhong went to lead the horses, and Ximen Qing instructed: "I want to go back to Yanggu, and I can't delay for a moment, but there are big and small affairs in the Jingshi, and you will take care of it by Mr. Han De, and all the goods you take this time will be left to you to dispose of." ”
Han De arched his hand, nodded, and didn't say anything else, but came to persuade Ximen to mourn and change during the festival and not hurt his body.
Marrying a beautiful lady and ascending to the official position, when you should be blissful, how do you know that you will respect your relatives, and you will be sad in your heart, who can know that when you persuade the monarch to be filial, it is only on ordinary days.
Before leaving, Ximenqing told Lin Chong a few words: "My brother is loyal, and he has many friends and confidants in Beijing, but he also has to mention the villain, sometimes it is not necessarily someone else who harms you, but it may also be a confidant and brother, brother must be careful, if there is anything inconvenient, but there is a letter, or go straight to me, I will risk my life, and I must be considerate of my brother." ”
