Chapter 70: Go to Xuanfu
"Master Gu, then tomorrow will be boring." Since he decided to let him help, Xie Hong no longer deliberately embarrassed the other party, entered the Ping'an Fang, got off the sedan chair, and said to Imperial Doctor Gu.
"I can't afford to be called an adult, just call the name below." Imperial Doctor Gu was honestly afraid.
"Then Xie will call you Gu Lao. Gu Lao, early tomorrow morning, we will go to Dongjiazhuang together, okay? "Anyway, the other party is also old, and since the grudge has been resolved, Xie Hong is also polite when he speaks.
"Adults just rest assured, the old man will be ready when he goes back, and he won't let the adults bother with any effort." Seeing that Xie Hong finally changed his name, Imperial Doctor Gu burst into tears, which can be regarded as relieving the young master, and this catastrophe is in the past.
Will my brother's hands and feet be too ruthless this time? The contrast between Imperial Doctor Gu and before and after was too great, Xie Hong felt a little guilty, but he quickly put this little worry aside, if it weren't for this backhand, today's difficulties would really be difficult. Fortunately, there is no need to intrigue with these people in the yamen in the future, it's really tiring.
In the future, we must find something easy to do, it is best to be a shopkeeper or something, while looking forward to the future life, Xie Hong pushed the door into his yard.
"Brother Hong, you're back." The first to say hello was Qing'er, but the little girl's eyebrows frowned slightly, and her expression was quite strange, Xie Hong was a little strange, and before he could ask, he saw Ma Wentao and Er Niu also greet him.
Xie Hong also prepared for the worst in advance, in case of a real accident, let Erniu escort Qing'er to Dongjiazhuang, and even let Ma Wentao stay.
Originally, this was just out of the prudence of his habitual surname, but he didn't expect that this back hand would almost be used. His methods are not superb, but Xie Hong underestimated Master Lu and the others, and he didn't expect these people to be desperate when they became crazy. With the situation at that time, if it weren't for the sudden appearance of Imperial Doctor Gu, these people relied on that holy decree to support them, and things were really hard to say.
Xie Hong smiled wryly when he thought about it, he still has a sense of superiority of modern people in his current affairs, but he underestimates the ancients. Whether it is Liu Jin's old scheming, strong coercion, or Master Lu's intrigues and intrigues, and madness, they are not easy to deal with.
Fortunately, so far, my luck is not bad, and various rumors in the county have also helped a lot.
"Brother Xie."
"Brother Xiaohong."
Both of them were beaming with joy on their faces, and the speed at which the rumors spread was much faster than the sedan chair that Xie Hong was sitting on.
"Brother Xie, what does the holy decree in the palace say? Have you been promoted? It won't be for you to be the county master, right? Tsk, the county magistrate who is less than twenty years old, you are really amazing. Without waiting for Xie Hong to speak, Ma Wentao threw out a series of questions, and then asked and answered himself in admiration.
"It's a promotion, and I was given a position of Jinyi Wei Qianhu, but it's just a fictitious title that doesn't have to worry about things." Xie Hong was very unimpressed with this official position.
"A thousand households? How many products is this? ”
"Well, it's five grades."
"Five products!" The curious baby was amazed, he was a little official, naturally he didn't know the difference between civil and military, and when he heard that Xie Hong's grade suddenly became five grades, he was sincerely happy, this is eight levels in a row. "It's okay now, no one in Beizhuang County will dare to offend you Brother Xie in the future, and my old horse will also be stained, haha."
"This ......" Xie Hong hesitated a little, his plan to go to Xuanfu had only been discussed with Erniu, of course Erniu had no opinion, but he was not sure about Ma Wentao. In his usual contact, he also learned that the concept of local people in this era is still very heavy, and even if it is not, if you want to leave your hometown to do an unknown thing, anyone must think about it.
Seeing that the other party was elated, Xie Hong couldn't bear to disturb him, this big brother Ma helped him a lot, and the Ma family was also very good to his family, but what he wanted to say now was to leave everything in Beizhuang County and go to Xuanfu to start over. If he is no longer in Beizhuang, I don't know if the Gu family and the Chen family will find a back account and vent their anger on the Ma family.
But going to Xuanfu and waiting for Zhengde was Xie Hong's goal that could not be changed, and he was a little embarrassed for a while. Ma Wentao was happy for a while, saw that Xie Hong's face was a little solemn, and realized something, and asked, "Brother Xie, is there anything difficult about it?" ”
"Hmm." Xie Hong decided to cut through the mess quickly, and said directly: "Brother Ma, I'm going to Xuanfu, are you willing to come with me?" Of course, the second aunt is also together. ”
"Xuanfu? Brother Xie, are you going to Xuanfu? Ma Wentao was really stunned, but what he said next surprised Xie Hong, "Of course I followed Brother Xie, as for my mother, they may not be willing, but it doesn't matter, my mother often says that good men are ambitious, and that Brother Xie is a big talent." I can't be wrong with my old horse following you. ”
Xie Hong didn't expect that during this period of time, Ma Wentao had also fallen into blind worship, and he had no doubts about going to Xuanfu, and patted his chest and responded. This kind of unconditional trust made Xie Hong feel a little pressured, and at the same time, he also felt the existence of friendship, and his heart was warm.
"Brother Ma, I have to work hard for you this time."
"What's not hard, Brother Xie, if there's anything you want, just tell me."
"You still have to go to Xuanfu, we always have to buy a bigger house before we go, well, in addition, you look at the environment of Xuanfu, whether there are any stores that are not very good in business, or those that are being exchanged."
"Storefront? Brother Xie, do you want to do business? "Not only Ma Wentao, but even Erniu and Qing'er on the side are very strange, obviously they have been promoted, why do they suddenly want to do business.
"It's to open an amusement ......" almost leaked his mouth again, Xie Hong secretly wiped a cold sweat, "Well, I just want to open a teahouse, Brother Ma, you just ask first, this matter is not in a hurry." "I can't explain this, I can't say that I plan to develop some entertainment projects, and then wait for Emperor Zhengde to come to the door, right?
"Teahouse ......" Ma Wentao scratched his scalp for a long time, and he couldn't figure out why opening a teahouse would be a good deal, but he didn't question it, Brother Xie's decision, let's just listen to it, why do you understand it so clearly.
"Okay, we're going to open a teahouse." Regarding Xie Hong's decision, Qing'er and Erniu still wholeheartedly support it as always, but looking at the expressions of the two of them, it doesn't look like they know the purpose of the teahouse. Xie Hong smiled bitterly and shook his head, this is not good, there is no one to discuss, what if he makes a wrong decision? It's not clear at all.
made a decision, Xie Hong went to Ma's house with Ma Wentao again. Knowing the son Mo Ruomu, the reverse is the same, the second aunt is really reluctant to move. However, she was full of joy for her son to follow Xie Hong, and as for Xie Hong's concerns, the second aunt also showed her true colors as a heroine among women, just smiling and completely disdainful of those two families.
"Brother Hong, when you were the master of the Nine Grades, they couldn't help you and suffered such a big loss. You are now a five-grade official, and they still dare to deal with our family? Hmph, give them guts. ”
The second aunt was very stubborn, but what she said made sense, and in the end, Xie Hong had no choice but to nod in agreement, so the matter was settled.
When Xie Hong hurriedly went to look for it, he found that the little girl was hiding behind the firewood stack, holding a branch in her hand, sweeping around, and her face was also frowning, looking preoccupied.
"Qing'er, what's wrong? Seeing how unhappy you look, don't you like to move? Xie Hong said softly, although it was imperative to move, he didn't want to make the little girl unhappy, looking at Qing'er's pitiful appearance, his heart felt like he had been cut, and it hurt very much.
"Ah...... Brother Hong, Qing'er...... No......" was startled by Xie Hong who suddenly appeared, Qing'er jumped up, and was peeped through, the little girl's face was flushed with anxiety, but she wanted to explain, but Ai Ai couldn't speak.
"Is that homesick?" Xie Hong is not in a hurry, he is already a patient person, not to mention that he is facing Qing'er, a little angel.
"No......" was asked by him repeatedly, the little girl thought about it, still blushed, plucked up her courage, and asked softly: "Brother Hong...... Everyone outside is saying ...... You're going to marry a princess, aren't you? Will it be sunny then? Qing'er's voice was very small, if it weren't for Xie Hong's good ear, he might not be able to hear the last two sentences clearly.
It turned out to be for this, this Chen Guanyu really didn't do a good thing, it made my Qing'er jealous, Xie Hong put his mind at ease, looked at Qing'er who was as red as an apple, he couldn't help but want to tease the little girl.
"Qing'er doesn't like her brother marrying a princess?"
"It's not ......" Qing'er hurriedly argued, the little girl remembered that her mother once said that women should keep women's virtues and not be jealous, but why are they still weird in their hearts? Is this jealousy, the little girl shook her head like a drum: "Qing'er is not jealous, but afraid that Brother Hong won't want Qing'er." ”
"Don't worry, Qing'er is my brother's little princess, and I will take Qing'er with me wherever I go." Xie Hong's voice became softer and softer, and the little girl's timid appearance made him very moved: "Besides, let's go to Xuanfu, not the capital, don't worry." ”
"Really? Qing'er knew that Brother Hong was the best......" The little girl's eyes lit up, she muttered quietly, and her brows gradually relaxed. Since the rumors spread outside and she heard it, Qing'er has taken care of it, she is afraid that Brother Hong will really go to the capital to marry the princess, and then don't want herself, Qing'er is so scared, now she can finally rest assured.
"Qing'er, Brother Xiaohong, where are you? I'm hungry, don't you want to eat? A rough voice broke the warm atmosphere in this small corner, it was Erniu shouting that he was hungry.
The red tide that had just faded on Qing'er's little face came up again, and the little girl jumped away and ran out in a hurry. The courtyard of the Xie family is very small, and Qing'er is afraid that Erniu's foolish person will turn around directly, and it will be embarrassing to see that she is with Brother Hong like this.
"Brother Erniu, why are you hungry again? Wasn't it just after lunch? ”
"Brother Xiaohong said, people are iron and steel, if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry, and I can't help it."
"I really can't help you...... Brother Erniu, the water in the water tank is gone, you go and fetch water. ”
"Okay, will you have food after picking up water?"
"Hmm."
"There must be meat."
"Hmm."
Listening to the movement outside, Xie Hong couldn't help but wonder, this is his family, it feels so good.
……
Looking at the two large tanks full of water, Erniu was a little stunned, did Qing'er want me to change the water? Well, it must be, Brother Xiaohong often says that the water should be changed often, change it, change it, and you will have meat to eat if you change it. Thinking so, Erniu picked up the bucket.
