The gates were closed, and the alleys were empty, except for the occasional barking of dogs from afar. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Ye Shaolong stood in front of the gate of Bao Zhilin and watched for a long time before letting the tower go forward to call the door.

Soon after, the door opened, and a familiar figure appeared behind the open door. Ye Shaolong's melancholy face finally showed a smile, and he took two steps forward and clasped his fists and saluted: "Master, it's good that I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

It was none other than Huang Qiying's wife, Ye Shaolong's sister-in-law Wu Xian. The latter looked at Ye Shaolong, who suddenly arrived, his face was stunned at first, and then quickly turned into surprise.

"Shaolong, Master Niang is finally looking forward to you!" Wu Xian stepped forward in surprise and pulled Ye Shaolong and walked into the house.

In the main hall, the lights were bright, and as soon as he stepped into the front yard, Ye Shaolong saw Su Can and Huang Qiying talking about wine.

Su Can saw that it was Ye Shaolong who came, the old man showed his yellow teeth, and laughed: "You kid only came here now, it seems that you should have made a lot of money this time!" ”

Some things are not suitable for being said publicly, that is, Su Can and Ye Shaolong are indeed familiar enough. In front of Su Can, Ye Shaolong had nothing to hide, so he smiled and said, "If your old man is short of money to spend, you can go to me and get it, the kid has enough." ”

Saying that, Ye Shaolong was not polite, he sat down beside him, took a porcelain bowl and poured a bowl of wine by himself, and raised his head to take a sip.

Su Can smiled and stopped talking, but Huang Qiying squinted at Ye Shaolong, and said with a serious lesson: "If you are greedy for money as an official, then what is the difference between you and those who are taken down by you." ”

Huang Qiying was obviously a lot more subtle, but the tone of teaching people still made Ye Shaolong quite unhappy. There is already a generation gap between the two, Huang Qiying's original intention is good, but the young and vigorous Ye Shaolong always doesn't like to hear such words.

This may be a personality incompatibility, if you want to get along well, Ye Shaolong still feels that it is more compatible with Su Can. Old man Su Can is not only refreshing, but he will not do things like Huang Qiying.

As soon as Huang Qiying said this, the atmosphere on the wine table suddenly became dull, Su Can looked at the faces of the two of them and smiled and started to be a peacemaker: "Brother Huang, now is the world of young people, although Ye Shaolong, this kid is said to be strong." But he still has a bottom line in doing things, so don't say that he is not. ”

Ye Shaolong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and immediately cast a grateful look at Su Can. In fact, Huang Qiying is still good, as the so-called concern is chaos, he also cares about Ye Shaolong's persuasion so hard.

It's just that the method he used is lacking, and it's also because Ye Shaolong was bent on apprenticeship before. If Ye Shaolong didn't apprentice at the beginning, but made friends with Huang Qiying.

There will be no difference in generations between the two, like him and Su Can, they directly communicate as equals, and naturally they will not be like Huang Qiying now, who is always reprimanded by himself in the tone of an elder.

Understanding the crux of the matter, Ye Shaolong hesitated for a moment, filled a bowl of wine for Huang Qiying and himself, picked it up and said loudly: "Master Huang, I, Ye Shaolong, know that you are for my good, and Ye Shaolong also accepts your affection." I used to be ignorant and offended, I am here to accompany you, this bowl of wine is to accompany you, do it first as a respect. ”

As soon as he raised his head, Ye Shaolong dried up a bowl full of wine in two sips, took a sip of wine, and continued with a smile: "Also from tonight, we might as well intersect as equals, in the future, I will call you Brother Huang, and you can also call me Brother Ye like Old Man Su!" ”

Su Can smiled when he heard this, but Huang Qiying was stunned, and it seemed to be a long time before he reacted. His eyes looked at Su Can, who was smiling, and the latter nodded at him slightly.

Huang Qiying hesitated for a moment again, and suddenly picked up the bowl and dried it in one bite. Huang Qiying also understood the reason why he was always dissatisfied with Ye Shaolong at this moment.

It is nothing more than that he puts himself in the position of an elder and regards Ye Shaolong as a junior. This elder will always lecture the junior, and that's why.

And what Ye Shaolong said just now obviously hoped that the two of them could be friends on an equal footing in the future. This is understandable, Huang Qiying feels that there is no reason not to agree.

Some things are said to be good for everyone, Ye Shaolong is relaxed, and he Huang Qiying is also relaxed.

Putting down the wine bowl, Huang Qiying suddenly burst out laughing, and then Su Can and Ye Shaolong also laughed. A glass of wine is nothing more than this!

Seeing that Ye Shaolong and Huang Qiying no longer pinched each other, the happiest person was Wu Xian, who used to be sandwiched between the two of them There would always be a lot of embarrassment. Now that it's okay, keep the clouds open and see the bright moon, Ye Shaolong will be embarrassed if he doesn't see her husband anymore, and the most relieved person is her.

Wine is sometimes indeed a good thing, like at this moment, Ye Shaolong and Huang Qiying are talking more and more harmoniously under the stimulation of alcohol. In less than an hour, they began to call each other brothers, and there was no estrangement between them.

Seeing that the atmosphere had become harmonious, Su Can smiled and asked Ye Shaolong's intention: "Is there something in your heart when you come here so late?" ”

Ye Shaolong didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "Now the provincial city has almost been occupied by those foreigners, and the big cigarettes they dumped not only took away a lot of silver, but also made the people weak. ”

As soon as they heard Ye Shaolong mention foreigners, Su Can and Huang Qiying immediately frowned, especially Huang Qiying, who has lived in the provincial capital for many years and has personal experience.

He knew what the provincial city had become now, although he was very worried and anxious, but he was helpless. Foreigners are no more powerful than Dorha, especially at sea, and the Qing Dynasty has no right to speak at all.

"Why are you suddenly worried about foreigners, haven't you kid always disliked these things that are mixed into officialdom?" Su Can was a little puzzled.

Ye Shaolong smiled bitterly and said, "You think I want to!" It's not a secret decree from the little emperor that I want to stay here in the provincial capital for a little longer. If you want me to stay, can there be anything other than things with foreigners? ”

"The emperor has also noticed the affairs of foreigners?" Su Can's expression was very excited, and he suddenly got up and grabbed Ye Shaolong's arm and stared at him nervously and asked.

Su Can's reaction was too strong, but it confused Ye Shaolong, and it took a long time to react: "Brother, don't arrest me, my hand is about to break!" ”

Su Can was stunned for a moment, felt that he was out of shape, and let go of his hand in embarrassment, but still urged unrelentingly: "Tell me what the hell is going on?" ”

Over the years, Su Can can can be regarded as having traveled to most of the borders of the Qing Dynasty, especially in some border places. The rampant behavior of foreigners has become irrepressible, and the suffering of the people makes him even more distressed.
