Chapter 222: Guest
Because he knew that it would not be easy to meet again next time, he chatted with Qin Zifeng for a long time in the nearby teahouse, and Sun Chen reluctantly parted with him.
After returning to Liu Mingxuan's mansion, Sun Chen wanted to say goodbye to him and leave early tomorrow morning, but his courtyard was pitch black, and there was not even a figure.
Standing outside his door and waiting for a while, the person still didn't come back, and Sun Chen could only go back to sleep stupidly.
He always felt that Liu Mingxuan's state was a little strange when he came to the capital this time, especially after Luo Yuqing came to Luofu as a guest that day, and he went to Anle Houfu again in the afternoon. But Sun Chen opened his mouth to ask him, and he didn't say what was going on, since Liu Mingxuan chose not to tell himself, he must have his own reasons.
As a considerate and interesting friend, of course, you don't have to snoop on each other's privacy.
……
When they first came to the capital, Sun Chen and Erniu didn't bring much with them, but when they left, they were big bags and small bags, and a carriage couldn't fit it. Fortunately, Sun Chen knew from the housekeeper that Liu Mingxuan's caravan was going to Qingming County soon, so he entrusted all the things that he didn't need for the time being to the housekeeper and asked him to watch and bring them to the arranger.
At breakfast, Liu Mingxuan, who had not seen anyone all day, showed up, knowing that Sun Chen and they were leaving, with a guilty face, and said that next time he came over, he must put down everything to accompany him.
Liu Mingxuan didn't say what he was busy with during this time, what happened, of course Sun Chen wouldn't be angry with him because of this, but he felt as if he was the only one who thought that their relationship could be talked about without anything, and he was a little lost.
Sun Chen's subtle expression, Liu Mingxuan was not unaware, but he felt that the matter of his sister Qin Jingshu was not good to tell others, after all, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized.
……
After saying goodbye to Liu Mingxuan, Sun Chen took Erniu directly to the sea clams, after all, there was a big stall with tens of thousands of taels of silver waiting for him.
The climate in the south has many advantages compared to the north. Sun Chen and the others wore thick cotton clothes in the capital, but at this time, the razor clams only needed to wear a jacket.
Xu Yong didn't expect Sun Chen to come over so early, and he still had more than half of the living expenses left by Sun Chen when he left.
But I'm glad I did.
"During the Chinese New Year, I took it upon myself to improve the food for the workers in our bead field for a few days, and the county government also found someone to send some festival gifts, and from the first day of the Lunar New Year to the third day of the new year, the county organized people to give porridge, and I gave porridge in the Confucius Temple in the county for three days in the name of our golden jade bead field, so the cost of this month is a little more."
He stood in front of Sun Chen with the ledger and handed it over for him to look at one by one.
"Why is there so much left, have you eaten poorly during this time?"
The top page is a summary made by Xu Yong, which only says how much was spent in total and how much is left. Looking at the account book in his hand, Sun Chen was a little surprised, the money he left was not small, but he didn't expect that there would be a budget for them to give porridge, how much did dozens of workers in the bead field eat a day, and the porridge was given for three days, and it would cost them at least a month's living expenses. What's more, if you give a gift to the county government, you can't do it if it's too bad, and you must have spent a lot.
Turning to the page that recorded the expenses, Sun Chen saw that it was indeed the case.
"It's not bad, although it's a little cold, but you can still catch some fish by the sea. We don't have much work in the pearl field during this time, and I will take these people to the sea to catch some fish when I have time, there are many things to eat in the sea, and there is no need to spend money, hehe. ”
When he said this, Xu Yong scratched the back of his head with his hand, obviously he was already shrewd and capable, but he made stupid movements again.
Sun Chen's heart was clear. Relying on the sea to eat the sea, he was able to adopt this child, and he really picked up a treasure by himself.
Although the weather is not too cold, it is still not suitable for starting to grow beads in a month or two. Sun Chen: He just stays here every day and wanders around.
However, when he wanted to take Erniu to the port of Fenghai County to find some rare things, an uninvited guest came to the door.
Glancing at it from a distance, Sun Chen didn't recognize the person who came, but it should be a bit of a source from the way he dressed, Xu Yong behind Sun Chen whispered to him, saying that this was the county's wang clan and the housekeeper of Xingfu.
"When we were giving porridge, our stall was adjacent to his house, but we got along quite happily."
Sun Chen is not an ignorant novice, of course he knows that during the New Year's holidays, people with financial ability are not just giving porridge, especially when several stalls are setting up stalls at the same time. The viscosity of the porridge, the ingredients in the porridge, and the number of days that insist on serving porridge are all places where these people have to compete openly and secretly.
Xu Yong said that he got along happily, which should mean that in the three days of the soup soup in the Golden Jade Bead Field, the limelight of Xingfu was not overshadowed by them!
Xingfu Sun Chen also has heard, last year when the road was repaired, Xingfu donated the most money, according to the slightly fat Yanei, in the razor county, a quarter of the fertile land belongs to their Xing family, accumulated eight or nine generations, Xingfu is already a veritable famous family in the razor clams.
I just don't know what they want to do when they come here today?
"Boss Sun, take the liberty to visit and invite Haihan, it's really my second young master who heard that you have come back and wants to meet you."
As he spoke, he took out the prayer note from his arms and offered it with both hands.
He was so cautious, which made Sun Chen a little flattered.
Although the Apocalypse Dynasty still attaches great importance to etiquette compared to the previous dynasties, it is really among ordinary people, but it is mostly simplified.
Unless you're visiting someone who is high up in the court, or you're paying enough attention to the person you're visiting.
With Sun Chen's identity, he would never have thought that he would receive the day of worship.
But this also made him quite strange, the other party's status is not low, but why would he be so respectful to himself? None of this makes sense.
Although he thought a lot in his heart, Sun Chen calmly stretched out his hand to take the prayer post, opened it and looked at it, and wrote it in vigorous and powerful letters: Xing Hao Ruifeng worships.
Sun Chen sent someone to invite the other party in, but found that he really hadn't seen him, and the two people he held before might have a relationship, or maybe the other party admired his illusion, which of them was instantly shattered.
"I don't know what Xing Ergongzi did when he came to Sun today?"
The other party was about twenty-four or five years old, his face was like white jade, his eyes were clear, Sun Chen had a good impression at first sight, but after the other party entered the door, he didn't say anything except for the salute, which made Sun Chen couldn't help but ask with doubts in his heart.
It's impossible for you to respectfully hand over a prayer note and just come here for tea, right?
