Chapter 081: Sloppy Old Dao

It took an hour to finally enter Bianjing City, and then drive along the inner road of the city to the northeast of the city where Guozijian is located.

In curiosity, Xu Xian Road did not lift the curtain to look at Bianjing City, and found that Bianjing City has an atmospheric pattern, the road is spacious and straight, it is indeed not comparable to Lin'an City, but it is much worse than Lin'an City in terms of prosperity and exquisiteness.

Because of the high degree of similarity in the buildings of the houses, after Xu Xian looked at it for a while, he lost interest and put down the curtain and closed his eyes to recuperate.

About half an hour later, the carriage suddenly stopped, and then I heard Huang Chong's angry shout from ahead: "How do you walk?" Don't you have long eyes? ”

"You've injured Lao Dao, and you're going to lose money. Ouch, it hurts, my ribs must have been broken......" followed by an old voice.

Huang Chong scolded angrily: "It's not so easy to blackmail money, my carriage didn't hit you at all, you rushed out and fell to the ground by yourself!" ”

Hearing the quarrel in front of him, Xu Xian lifted the curtain, leaned out to look, and saw a sloppy old Taoist priest lying under the horse in front of him.

The old Taoist priest was wearing only a thin and stained Taoist robe in this cold winter, his hair was pale, his face was wrinkled, and he was full of wind and frost.

"Yellow Dart Master, what's going on?" Xu Xian asked Huang Chongdao.

Huang Chong turned around and said, "Young Master Xu, this old Taoist priest wants to extort money. Don't worry, I have a way to deal with this kind of person. ”

When the old Taoist priest saw Xu Xian, he immediately stopped moaning in pain, got up and looked at Xu Xian carefully.

"Hey, it's really not." The old Taoist priest whispered to himself, his eyes puzzled.

After Huang Chong finished speaking to Xu Xian, he turned his head and was about to scold the old Taoist, but he was surprised to find that the old Taoist had turned around and left a few steps.

Xu Xian looked at the back of the old Taoist priest, couldn't help but feel compassion, and shouted: "Old man, wait." ”

Shouting, he jumped out of the carriage.

The old Taoist priest heard Xu Xian's voice, stopped and turned back to look at Xu Xian.

Xu Xian walked up to the old Taoist priest, took out a piece of silver and handed it over: "Old man, take it and buy warm clothes to wear." ”

Without waiting for the old Taoist priest to reach out to get the money, Huang Chong, who had caught up from behind, had already reached out and pressed the silver ingot, and said, "Xu Gongzi, I know you are kind, but you can't give it." As soon as you give it, he will be lazy with you and immediately rush out of a group of people to force you to lose all your entanglements. ”

Huang Chong's words reminded Xu Xian of a news in his previous life, about a kind-hearted person who helped an old man who had fallen, and was falsely accused by the old man, and the well-wisher was not convinced, the appellate court, when the judge tried the case, he actually said that if the plaintiff was not the perpetrator, why should he help people, and gave a few hundred yuan, and then sentenced the well-wisher to compensate the old man a large sum of money, and since then, the people of the country no longer dare to help people, and the national moral bottom line has fallen sharply.

However, Xu Xian still insisted on giving, he didn't see any cunning and scoundrel temperament in the old Taoist priest, and the weather was so cold, but he was only wearing a thin Taoist robe, and it was estimated that he was indeed desperate.

"No, I'm sure the old man won't hurt me." Xu Xian insisted on the authenticity, took Huang Chong's hand away, and handed the silver ingot to the old Taoist priest again.

The old Taoist priest didn't take it immediately, but looked at Xu Xian with a scrutinizing gaze: "You really give it to me?" ”

"Nature." Xu Xian smiled.

The old Taoist priest then stretched out his dirty hand to take the silver ingot, and said, "You are good." ”

Then, he turned around and left.

Huang Chong watched the old Taoist priest leave like this, and couldn't help complaining: "There is no courtesy at all, Xu Gongzi, you gave him so many silver taels, and he didn't even say a word of thanks." ”

"Out of the way." Xu Xian shook his head slightly, turned around and boarded the carriage.

Next, there were no accidents and successfully arrived near Guozijian.

However, Xu Xian did not rush to report to Guozijian, but stayed at a nearby inn.

Confucianism pays attention to etiquette, and he went in to report in such a dusty manner, it is estimated that he will be thrown off. Moreover, it was already noon at this time, and the officials of the Guozijian estimated that they were eating or resting, and they also had to eat. After the meal, it is the afternoon, and the remaining half a day is estimated to be unable to complete the registration process.

So, let's stay nearby for the night first, and then report calmly tomorrow morning.

After staying overnight and having lunch, Huang Chong said, "Xu Xiangongzi, do you want to go out to familiarize yourself with the environment?" I've been on a few trips to Bianjing City, so I have a general understanding, and I'll be your guide. ”

"No, thank you for your kindness. I'm not going to go out today, so you can do your own thing. Don't worry about me, after all, this is under the nose of the Son of Heaven. Xu Xian said.

Huang Chong hesitated and said, "Okay, I'll go out for a walk." You are safe at the inn. ”

Xu Xian took out a silver ingot and stuffed it to Huang Chong, and said, "I have you to protect and take care of me all the way, these silver taels are my personal thoughts, please accept them." ”

The escort fee was paid by Li Gongfu.

"Thank you, Young Master Xu." Huang Chong was overjoyed, and estimated that there were at least twenty taels of silver in this ingot.

Xu Xian smiled and said, "You're welcome." By the way, please keep the matter of Qingshi secret, including my brother-in-law. ”

"Xu Gongzi, please rest assured, it is our business to keep the confidentiality and privacy of our employers." Huang Chong patted his chest and said.

After sending Huang Chong away, Xu Xian returned to the guest room and took out the scroll from the bookcase to read the book carefully.

In the past two months, in addition to hurrying, I have been a little happy with Xiaoqingqing, and Wen Shu has been a lot less.

Now that Xiaoqing has returned to Qiantang County, he must also correct his mentality and study hard.

Because he hadn't studied for a long time, in order to let himself concentrate on it, Xu Xian read aloud.

This serious reading was for a long time, knowing that it was dark and I couldn't read the words clearly, so I had to stop lighting the lamp before I realized that I was hungry.

"Hey, why didn't Master Huang ask me to eat?" Putting down the book, he was slightly surprised, "Yes, now that he has arrived at the destination Bianjing, he has relieved himself, and he probably didn't come back after going out to play." ”

He didn't blame Huang Chong, he knew that the industry of a dart master was a living from licking on the knife's edge, and it was very hard, and seeing that the task was completed, he went out to relax and fully understand.

Although Huang Chong is not there, he still has to eat.

So, Xu Xian left the guest room and went to the front hall to eat.

He did not treat himself badly, and ordered three good dishes and a pot of chicken soup by himself, plus a pot of wine.

When Xiaoqing left quietly, he left almost all the silver taels to him, that is, he had a huge sum of more than 3,000 taels of silver tickets.

Xu Xian was eating and drinking wine comfortably, and suddenly an old voice came: "Little brother, we meet again." ”

Xu Xian looked up and found that the other party was actually an old Taoist priest he had met today, and he couldn't help but be vigilant.

The old Taoist priest still looked sloppy, and he was still wearing only a stained Taoist robe.

Without waiting for Xu Xian to speak, the old Taoist priest said again: "Lao Dao is hungry, don't you mind if Lao Dao eats a mouthful of your food?" ”

As he spoke, he sat down in front of Xu Xian.
