Chapter 176: Blind date
When he was disbanding at noon, Xiao Jiading received an invitation from Geng Changshi's servant, inviting him to go to his house for dinner and wine in the evening.
Xiao Jiading thought to himself, why did this Geng Changshi invite himself to Missy? Do you want to hear about Captain Han's case? Not quite like that. Whoever cares about him, if you invite him, you don't need to be polite if you have a drink.
When she went home in the afternoon, she was very happy when she heard Xiao Jiading say that Geng Changshi invited him to dinner again. She didn't know that Lu Dao, Geng Changshi, Pan Beijia, and their open and secret battles with the King of Shu were fighting, but she only knew that Lu Dao was the governor of the state capital Yamen anyway, and it was a very face-saving thing for her future husband to dinner, so she dressed up Xiao Jiading in a good way. sent him to the carriage, and told the handlebar to take care of him.
Xiao Jiading took a car to Geng Changshi's mansion, and this time he was a little surprised that not only Geng Changshi, but also his wife and concubine, and two more people stood under the corridor to greet him. A middle-aged man, with a burly figure, and a young woman, looks a little good, but her demeanor is capable and decisive, and she seems to be a practitioner.
Geng Changshi smiled affectionately and took Xiao Jiading's hand, walked up to the middle-aged man and young woman, and said, "Brother, brother, let me introduce you to you, this is the deputy of Wuzhen of the Tuobian Military Town of the border army!" This is her daughter, the Petrel Girl! - Two, this is Xiao Jiading, the personal deaconist of Liu County's order in Shaocheng County, which I told you, the first talent in Yizhou! Seven steps into poetry, and proficient in criminal law, judging cases like a god! A few days ago, he saved the life of the prince of Shu from the hands of assassins! Young talents, the future is limitless! ”
The Tang Dynasty border guards had many towns and Rong on the border. The commander of a military town is called the town general, and the deputy is called the town deputy. This deputy of Wuzhen is the second-in-command of this Tuobian military town.
As soon as he heard about Tuobian Military Town, Xiao Jiading's heart moved, and he hurriedly said: "Which woman Han Bingdie Xiao Jiading's father, Captain Han, who assassinated the prince of Shu last time, is a person from Tuobian Military Town, I have read the testimony, and his boss Deputy Wuzhen once found that this person is greedy for life and afraid of death. has asked his superiors to be removed many times, this deputy Wuzhen must be the general, right? ”
Deputy Wuzhen smiled and said, "Exactly." I heard that Xiao Gongzi is in charge of the recording of the prisoner in this case? ”
"Yes, the prince asked me to undertake it, in fact, this is a case in the army, and the Fa Cao of the Governor's Mansion should be responsible for recording prisoners, and besides, I heard that there is no precedent for recording prisoners in the army, which makes me a little embarrassed."
Wuzhen said: "This shows that the prince of Shu attaches great importance to you." Xiao Gongzi was already so good at a young age. is not only the first talent in Yizhou, but also the weight of the prince of Shu, Geng Changshi said it well, the future is really limitless! ”
Xiao Jiading hurriedly humbled a few words.
Deputy Wuzhen turned to his daughter and said, "Haiyan, why don't you come to see Xiao Gongzi?" ”
Accompanying Wu Haiyan was Geng Changshi's wife and concubine, and was about to pull her over to meet her, Wu Haiyan had already come over as if she was in the wind, looked Xiao Jiading up and down, and stood up the twin peaks that were already very full and towering. The voice was crisp and asked, "You are the one they want to tell me to be my husband?" ”
This sentence immediately made everyone in the audience so embarrassed that they didn't know what to say. Previously, Geng Changshi and his wife and concubine had already told the purpose of this banquet to the deputy father and daughter of Wuzhen, that is, to match the two families and give Wu Haiyan to Xiao Jiading. Today is a blind date. This kind of thing is well known. No one will say it to the other person in person. They didn't expect this Wu Haiyan to be so frank and honest, and he actually said it directly. They looked at each other for a while, and they were very embarrassed.
Xiao Jiading was taken aback and hurriedly looked at Geng Changshi.
Geng Changshi hurriedly coughed. Diverting the topic, he said, "Brother Xiao, Pan Beijia is still inside." Let's get inside! ”
Pan Beijia also came forward? For your own marriage? Moreover, the daughter-in-law they want to tell themselves is this unabashed and unrestrained woman?
Xiao Jiading not only glanced at her again. It just so happened that she also looked over, if other women looked at the big man, they would immediately turn their heads, this one is good, like looking at something rare, staring directly at Xiao Jiading's face, without the slightest shyness to dodge. It made Xiao Jiading a little embarrassed, he looked away, and secretly wondered in his heart, where did he get such a living treasure?
Xiao Jiading followed Geng Changshi into the house, and saw a shriveled old man sitting on the couch in the middle of the hall, looking at Xiao Jiading with a smile.
Xiao Jiading hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "See Pan Beijia!" ”
Pan Beijia got up and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao, your amount of wine is very good, when you were drinking heavily on the stage that day, you drank heavily on the stage, and you were envious." ”
Xiao Jiading also smiled: "So Pan Beijia is also a fairy in wine?" ”
"Laugh! When he was young, he could still drink a few glasses, but now that he is older, he can't drink anymore, but today, Geng Changshi invited two masters in wine, Wuzhen Deputy and his baby daughter, both of them are heroes in wine, and they came to drink with Brother Xiao! You must have a drink today! Ha lu haha. ”
Obviously, the embarrassing words that the heroic woman Wu Haiyan said under the porch outside made everyone feel embarrassed, and this Pan Beijia also heard it, so he deliberately said that Wuzhen was just here to accompany them to drink. And not to mention the blind date. In this way, the embarrassment is avoided. Originally, this kind of thing like a blind date can only be done but not said, and if you want to say it, you can talk about it behind your back.
Deputy Wuzhen also blushed at his daughter's actions, and kept glaring at her fiercely just now. At this moment, listening to Pan Bei's round, he was slightly relieved. Hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Xiao Gongzi has such a good amount of alcohol, I'm just afraid that it can't be compared, but I also like to drink, especially with people who have a good amount of alcohol and are very straightforward, that is a very pleasant thing, I must have a drink with Brother Xiao today!" ”
Wu Haiyan didn't seem to be able to keep her mouth shut, although her father had already glared at her fiercely just now, she didn't think she had said anything wrong, her face didn't blush, and now she interjected: "Dad, he is a poor scholar, he doesn't have much alcohol, he must have drunk a few glasses before going down the table!" ”
Wuzhen was so angry that his beard was raised, and he was about to scold, but Xiao Jiading had already laughed and said, "Miss Wu is right, my amount of alcohol is really not worth mentioning." Wait until you get under the table, don't laugh at the girl. ”
When he said this, he had already secretly made up his mind in his heart, and dared to scold Lao Tzu for being a poor scholar? Wait and see! We'll see who gets down the table!
When Xiao Jiading said this, the embarrassment just now was reduced a lot.
Then the servant came and said that the feast was ready. Geng Changshi said at the moment: "The banquet has been set up, please everyone!" ”
Everyone came to the dining hall, a large table of sumptuous dishes was fragrant, everyone sat down in the host, and then raised their glasses to drink.
The banquet on this day was mainly set up for Xiao Jiading, in order to win him over. So the topic was naturally what he was interested in. Pan Beijia and Geng Changshi are talking about some poems and songs, and appreciate Xiao Jiading's famous poems at the Yizhou Poetry Conference.
Deputy Wuzhen and Wu Haiyan seem to be rough people who don't understand literature and ink, and they can't say a word. You can only drink with your head down.
That Wu Haiyan couldn't bear it anymore, and when she was drunk for five or six minutes, she continued to drink and said loudly to Xiao Jiading: "Hey! In the future, when we get married, you won't say these poems all day long, will you? I can warn you, in the future, we will get married, if you dare to drag the text in front of your aunt and grandmother, then my big ear shave will not be polite! ”
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the field was very awkward. Deputy Wuzhen was even more ashamed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into. He knew that although this Xiao Zhiyi was just a small scribe next to this county order, he was a relative of Pan Beijia, and he must be a person that Pan Beijia valued very much, and he was the first talent in Yizhou, and he was also a person who was important to the prince of Shu and Pan Beijia, and he was just a deputy in a military town. Even if the marriage doesn't work out, it can't make Xiao Jiading unhappy. His baby daughter was open-mouthed, and he had repeatedly told her to be quiet before she came, but it didn't work at all, and she still said what she should say.
Deputy Wuzhen was about to explain, but Xiao Jiading just smiled slightly, without any anger, and said to Wu Haiyan: "Miss Wu's martial arts should be good, right?" ”
"Of course, I have been practicing martial arts with my father since I was a child, and there are no swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, what, do you want to see and understand?" With that, raise your fists.
Deputy Wuzhen scolded loudly: "Haiyan! What are you doing?! ”
Xiao Jiading waved his hand, and continued: "I don't know martial arts, but I really want to see the girl's martial arts." In this way, I also think that I always say some poetry and songs, which is weird and depressing, or else, I will make a bet with the girl. The girl punches me, and when she hits me, I will have a drink, and if I miss, the girl will have a drink, how about it? ”
Deputy Wuzhen was taken aback, Xiao Jiading was a distinguished guest, he knew that his daughter's fists and feet were powerful, and he could really kill a big bull with one punch with all his strength! If Xiao Jiading is really injured, then this family business will not only be ruined, but I am afraid that it will cause trouble! Hurriedly said: "No, no! Never! ”
Wu Haiyan had already stood up and said, "Dad! Don't worry, I'm not going to beat him to death, at most I'll beat him with a blue nose and swollen face. ”
Geng Changshi was also busy saying: "On the banquet, don't dance with guns and sticks, or don't drink the order!" ”
Xiao Jiading waved his hand and said: "It's okay, on top of the banquet, it is also a common thing to start martial arts, and with the deputy of Wuzhen here, it shouldn't let Miss Wu really hurt me." Hey. ”
Wu Haiyan snorted and said, "Don't worry, I just said it was fun, I won't hurt you, you are Uncle Pan's personal media, if you don't give you face, you should also give Uncle Pan face!" ”
Pan Beijia was also quite embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "This martial arts competition, forget it." (To be continued......)
