Chapter 42: Sleeping Mandarin Ducks

"Evil obstacles! Damn the obstacle! Huang Lushi scolded, "Don't kowtow yet, thank Xiao for his magnanimity?" ”

Huang Shiyun hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, son......"

Xiao Jiading hurriedly stretched out his hand, grabbed her arm and pulled her up, and said, "Miss Huang is serious, please get up quickly!" ”

At this moment, everyone in the room was stunned.

The defense of men and women, in ancient times, was very particular, especially some large families with faces, and even Lang Zhong treated his daughter's wife, which was all separated by a curtain, and some had to cover their hands with tulle before giving a pulse. This action is not very much for Xiao Jiading from the modern open era, but for these people in the Tang Dynasty, it is too shocking.

Huang Shiyun lost her face with Hua Hua, and with a sigh, she involuntarily stood up with him. It wasn't until Xiao Jiading withdrew his hand that he hid behind his mother with a red face and a red face.

Huang Lushi and his wife also stayed. However, a smile immediately appeared on the corner of Huang Lushi's mouth, thinking to himself, it seems that Xiao Jiading is actually interesting to his daughter, so it seems that he is only afraid of the previous misunderstanding, which is what comes from. Since Xiao Jiading is interested in his daughter, it will be easy to do it in the future, and he glanced at his wife Zeng with a smile.

Zeng immediately understood what her husband was thinking, so she pulled her daughter out from behind and said, "Yun'er, this child is not sensible, so Xiao Zhiyi smiled." ”

Huang Lushi said: "Are you ready for the banquet?" ”

"It's ready." Zeng Shi said busily.

"Alright, then please take a seat. Family banquet, no outsiders. ”

Xiao Jiading nodded: "It's so bothering." ”

Coming to the dining room, there is a warm pavilion at the back of the dining room, which is placed on a table with exquisite dishes and drinks. Because it is still early spring, the weather is still quite chilly after dark, so there are two charcoal stoves on both sides of the pavilion to keep warm.

The two sat down separately. In fact, there are only two people, Xiao Jiading and Huang Lushi, and his wife and daughter are not on the table. Huang Lushi waved his hand for the servant maid to exit and closed the door. After Huang Lushi toasted a few glasses of wine, he whispered to Xiao Jiading: "Since Xiao Zhiyi intends to buy this land, then hand it over to the next to handle it." Xiao Zhiyi doesn't have to worry about it. ”

"So many people have registered to buy it, it's hard to get it, right?"

Huang Lushi smiled slightly and said, "Although there are many people who have signed up, if there is only one person who can be guaranteed, then it will be fine." ”

"You mean just one for me?"

"Hmm."

"What if someone else asks?"

"Don't worry, these are all handed over to the next place. I had already thought of a reason, but they couldn't say a word. You are the executive clothes recommended by Tang Sima to the Kang County Order, and the Kang County Commander said that if you want this land, it will not refute your face. ”

"And ...... for the price?"

"The entire piece of land, as long as 200 yuan, this is the price that the county government bought at the beginning, and it is also this family that sells it, and it is impossible for the county government to make money from it, so it is still sold at the original price." Speaking of this, he lowered his voice and said, "However, to be honest with you, the real land price of this land will not be less than five hundred!" ”

Xiao Jiading's eyes widened, God, that's more than double the profit. That's a great deal. The county government is purchased by expropriation, and the price must be very cheap, which is very common in modern society. The price of land requisitioned by the government is also very low, and after giving it to the developer, the house is built and sold, and then I don't know how many times the road has been doubled. The ancient yamen was only afraid that it would be more powerful in this regard.

Xiao Jiading pondered for a moment, this transaction should be innocent, and it would not make Tang Lin unhappy. Because this is sold by the county government publicly, the price of the sale is clear, no matter who it is sold to, it is not because it is sold to himself, so there is no problem of corruption, even if Tang Lin knows it, he will not have an idea because of this.

However, Huang Lushi gave such a benefit to himself, would he let himself be corrupt and pervert the law? This has to be said in the front, so he said: "We are all our own people, so let's get straight to the point, I don't know what Lu Dao Huang Lu needs me to do?" ”

Huang Lushi waved his hand and said, "I don't need anything, it's just a favor, don't you give it to anyone?" Instead of cheapening others, why not cheap your own people? Right, hehe."

Xiao Jiading couldn't help but laugh when he heard him count himself into his own people, thought about it, and still pointed out his words: "You know that I am the deacon of the county order, and I must be cautious in my words and deeds, and I am a timid person, and I will never do those things that are out of line." We're our own people, and you can't make it difficult for me. ”

"Brother Xiao, don't worry, I understand this, and I will definitely not embarrass my brother. Huh"

"That's good." Xiao Jiading said, "But I don't have that much money for the time being." ”

"Don't be in such a hurry, the yamen will settle at the end of the year, and it will not be too late to give it at that time, if Brother Xiao is inconvenient at that time, I will find a way to delay it for a while. Anyway, I'll help you do this land, and you can't run away. ”

"Good!"

This matter is done, Xiao Jiading is in a good mood and frequently raises his glass.

After drinking for a while, Xiao Jiading said: "Tomorrow, I will accompany Kang County Ling Shengtang to ask about the case, and I can't get drunk, so as not to make a mistake, Xiao will leave." After saying that, he got up, but Huang Lushi stopped him and said, "It's just dark now, and we haven't eaten a few glasses of wine before Xiao Zhiyi leaves?" It's rare to come to the humble house, can't you just eat a glass of wine and leave so hastily? Don't worry, I won't pour your wine, sit for a while, stay until the second watch, and then go to rest, tomorrow will not have any effect. ”

Xiao Jiading said: "Okay! He sat down again.

Huang Lushi looked at him, saw that he was not very interested, and thought of the thing he had just done to support his daughter, so he had a plan in his heart, and said: "The two of us are also very depressed when we eat wine, or why don't we call the little girl to dance and toast?" She's still pretty good at the flute. Let her give her a song to Zhiyi. ”

"Good! Xiao listens! ”

After a while, Huang Shiyun came in with a few maids and a few musicians.

She has changed into a pink skirt, put on a thin makeup, and deliberately dressed up, with curved willow eyebrows, pink face, eyebrows, graceful figure, and the whole outfit looks pure and unusually beautiful. If it weren't for Xiao Jiading's rudeness and rudeness, just looking at her appearance now, with his self-proclaimed high melting point for beauty, he would definitely be attracted. But he had come to know her, like seeing a moth-eaten apple, beautiful on the outside, disgusting to think about on the inside.

But he didn't show it at all, and looked at her with a smile.

Xiao Jiading's smile relaxed Huang Shiyun's nervous expression, she thought that Xiao Jiading had forgiven her, and even liked her, so she replied shamefully, and then picked up the wine cup and poured wine for Xiao Jiading and his father. They each toasted a glass of wine.

Huang Lushi smiled and said: "Xiao Zhiyi is a distinguished guest of our family, you should try your best to show what you have learned, please advise Zhiyi." ”

"Good. The little sister sang a clumsy song of the little sister and asked Brother Xiao for advice. ”

After that, he glanced back at the musicians, the musicians nodded, the sound of silk and bamboo sounded melodiously, and in the accompanying dance of several maids, Huang Shiyun danced, sang tactfully, and sang:

At that time, Hede and Feiyan.

Salivation, no one sees.

The soul fell into the begonia branch.

It is expected that the weather is cold and the same clothes.

Wearing a chain of jade with one heart.

And the bun clouds are green.

Who teaches the red calyx to come in pairs.

Just like the new lotus leaves, sleeping mandarin ducks.

Xiao Jiading laughed when he heard this, is this sassy fox Sichun? I thought so in my heart, but my mouth was full of applause.

Huang Shiyun came over, picked up the wine glass and said, "Since it's good, Brother Xiao, please drink a cup and write a poem for the little sister, how about it?" ——I heard that Brother Xiao wrote a poem in seven steps in front of the Jade Building, and met friends with poems, even Zhong Wenbo, the first genius in Yizhou, was compared, but isn't the little sister blessed with this eye? ”

Xiao Jiading said: "Miss Huang is the first talented woman in Yizhou, I don't dare to get an axe in front of you." ”

"Brother Xiao smiled, that is the praise of those boring people, the little sister does not dare to be the first in Yizhou, if you want to say the first, except for Brother Xiao, who is a poem in seven steps, who else should have this reputation? I'm afraid that the eldest brother will look down on the younger sister and refuse to advise. ”

"Miss Huang is too modest!"

"My little sister's name is Xiaoyue, if the eldest brother doesn't see me, you can call me my name." As he spoke, he was already blushing.

Xiao Jiading squinted at her, thinking that the name of an ancient woman is not easy to tell others, especially a man, this little girl told me the name of the girl, is there any intention?

He pretended not to hear, turned his head to Huang Lushi and said: "I'm already a little drunk, and I can't think of any good poems, but since Ling Yan has to make me ugly, then I have to make a fool of myself." ”

Huang Lushi said again and again that he didn't dare. Huang Shiyun was also busy saying that Brother Xiao was too modest.

Xiao Jiading shook his head and said to Huang Shiyun: "Miss Huang, the ugly words are in front, if I say something wrong, you must not be unhappy!" ”

Huang Shiyun heard that he still didn't call himself by his name, and he didn't know whether Lu Dao deliberately pretended not to hear it, or deliberately didn't want to call it like this, a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Little sister doesn't dare." Be all ears. ”

Xiao Jiading took the glass of wine, while making a contemplative look, he slowly paced to the door, and when he walked to seven steps, he stood still, turned around, looked at Huang Shiyun, and slowly recited Zhou Bangyan's "Poppy Beauty":

I want to go in front of the lamp and still be nostalgic,

The intestine is broken, and Zhu Feiyuan is far away.

There is no need for red rain to wash the cheeks,

When the roses are gone, they will return.

Dancing waist song board idle press,

A good look.

The golden furnace should see the old remnants of coal,

Don't make kindness easy and gray.

After chanting, he was secretly amused in his heart, tilted his neck, drank the wine in his glass, turned around to look at Huang Shiyun's father and daughter, but couldn't help but be stunned. I saw Huang Lushi looking at himself with a smile, and the smile seemed to be looking at his son-in-law. And Huang Shiyun is full of pink cheeks, with her head bowed shyly, like a little woman in love.

How so?
