After drinking, Wu Shigong settled the account, and finally dug out the name of the inn where he was staying from the mouth of the slurred Sun Chengxiu, and got the address of the inn from Xiao Er, and then he helped Sun Chengxiu, who was as soft as a piece of jellyfish skin, out of the tavern door. As soon as he went out, he saw Xue Qiang sitting on the steps next to him.

Xue Qiang is now so hungry that his chest is pressed against his back. He didn't know how many times he scolded Wu Shigong in his heart. Even if Wu Shigong doesn't order him a few dishes for lunch, then send a few buns out to pad his hunger! The rules of the Hou Mansion are big, and there is no order from the master's family, and he doesn't dare to enter the tavern in a grand manner to ask for a few dishes to eat and drink with the master's family, and he doesn't dare to leave the tavern to buy some dry food, for fear that Wu Shigong will leave suddenly, then he will have to give the Hou Ye eggplant.

Wu Shigong, of course, did it on purpose. In modern times, Wu Shigong went to the restaurant to eat, ordered a few dishes for his driver or gave him some money to buy a boxed lunch, that was the norm. But just now Xue Qiang made Wu Shigong unhappy, although Wu Shigong showed nothing, he was definitely not happy in his heart, and there was no need to show his generosity in front of Xue Qiang, so he ignored Xue Qiang and asked him to go outside to cool off. Of course, he won't stop Xue Qiang from leaving for a while to buy dry food, but Xue Qiang himself has to behave crankily and follow the rules, don't eat, and Wu Shigong will take care of him when he is full? He deserved to be unlucky.

Seeing Wu Shigong going out, Xue Qiang hurriedly stood up, came to Wu Shigong's side, and asked, "Uncle, do you have any orders?" ”

"Help get a wagon and get my friend back. Remember! You help pay for it. Wu Shigong squandered it just now, and he really didn't have any money, he wanted to ask Xue Qiang to pay it in advance and pay him back later.

"Uncle, how can you do this?" Xue Qiang didn't do it, he didn't fear Wu Shigong at all now, and he dared to say anything, "You spent a lot of money in it just now, but now you have to pay a small carriage fare." Although it doesn't matter if our Xue Mansion spends some money on your uncle, you don't want to spend it indiscriminately. In his tone, the meaning of Xue Mansion and Wu Mansion was revealed. This time, Wu Mansion added a son-in-law to Xue Mansion, as a Xue Mansion guard with a sense of collective honor, Xue Qiang was of course very proud.

"Good! Your Xue Mansion is rich, so you give me the five taels of silver I drank just now, and count it as a treat for your Xue Mansion. Wu Shigong countered Xue Qiang's army.

"Not today. After going back, the small one will tell the Hou Ye, and when he goes out in the future, the small one will come out with silver. Xue Qiang's answer was not weak.

Wu Shigong was happy and deeply admired Xue Qiang's courage. I muttered to myself in my heart: "If it were modern, your kid would have died a long time ago." Xue Qiang also understood that his words were excessive, and kept squinting at Wu Shigong's expression, and kept shouting in his heart: "Get angry!" Explode! Get rid of me! ”

Wu Shigong thought again, what kind of strength did he have with this slave. Dogs can bite people, but do people still have to lie on the ground and bite the dog? So, his face calmed down. Seeing that Wu Shigong was silent like this, Xue Qiang was disappointed.

"Then, without your Xue Mansion's money, you can carry my friend back to the inn!"

Xue Qiang really couldn't refuse Wu Shigong's request, so he had to squat down with a bitter face, put Sun Chengxiu, who was full of alcohol, on his back, and headed towards the inn rented by Sun Chengxiu.

Finally found the inn, and asked the innkeeper about Sun Chengxiu's room, and finally Zuihou put Sun Chengxiu on the bed in his room.

Wu Shigong served Sun Chengxiu, took off his shoes, covered him with a quilt, and just wanted to leave, but Sun Chengxiu opened his eyes in a daze and asked Wu Shigong: "Won't the virtuous brother no longer participate in the imperial examination?" ”

Wu Shigong was so sad that he couldn't laugh or cry when he was asked, and he was a little moved. At this time, Sun Chengxiu was still thinking about himself. However, his obsession with the imperial examination is also a little too heavy, which makes Wu Shigong very suspicious, if Sun Chengxiu wins the examination, the probability of Fan Jin phenomenon on his body is definitely more than 50%. For the sake of the social well-being of the Ming Dynasty, it seems that he has to prepare a tights for a mental hospital as soon as possible.

"Nope." Wu Shigong lowered his head and replied to Sun Chengxiu.

"It's a pity. Still, that's fine. Drunk and spit out the truth, Sun Chengxiu also felt that with Wu Shigong's ability, it was unlikely that he would be able to pass the examination.

After leaving the inn, Xue Qiang then sent Wu Shigong home. The two of them were a little estranged because of the unhappiness just now, so they hurried forward silently. Wu Shigong felt that it was better to ease the atmosphere, so he chatted with Xue Qiang: "What is the name of the eldest lady of your Xue Mansion?" ”

"Back to my aunt, how can the youngest one know the name of our eldest lady?"

Wu Shigong was bored, it was his own negligence, in this era, the name of the female dependent's daughter really can't be known to outsiders. "And how old is she?"

"Back to my aunt, the eldest lady is sixteen."

Wu Shigong shook his head, he was still a junior high school student. Change the subject.

"How is my father-in-law doing?"

"Back to my uncle, Master Hou's health has always been good, but he has been busy recently."

"What are you up to?" Wu Shigong asked curiously.

"Let's set up a porridge field."

"Porridge farm?" Wu Shigong was a little puzzled, if his memory was not wrong, he was doing charity by running a porridge field. But his father-in-law should be busy with official business, and he put aside his official business to do charity, which makes people feel a little unprofessional.

After listening to Wu Shigong's question, Xue Qiang carefully explained to Wu Shigong. It turned out that now, Wu Shigong's father-in-law, Xue Lian, his errand is to relieve the victims of the explosion of Wang Gong's factory. Wu Shigong suddenly realized.

However, Wu Shigong was not interested in his father-in-law's errand at all, but he was interested in the explosion of Wang Gong's factory. Because, Sun Chengxiu is a victim of the explosion of Wang Gong's factory, and Wu Shigong in the past was a scholar who did not listen to anything outside the window, and he did not know anything about the explosion of Wang Gong's factory. As soon as this topic was mentioned, Xue Qiang also came to the spirit. Because, the people of the current Imperial City are most talked about about this topic. Xue Qiang first described the tragic situation of the explosion in Wang Gong's factory, and then frothed at the mouth and speculated about the cause of the explosion. Anyway, those reasons are becoming more and more bizarre in Wu Shigong's ears, and they can even be reminiscent of the forbidden spells in magic novels. Wu Shigong scoffed at the reason for Xue Qiang's analysis, and he already had a standard answer in his heart, it must have been an atomic bomb that crossed over at the same time as himself. Funny or not? Wang Gong Factory was a gunpowder factory and warehouse in the Ming Dynasty, does the cause of the explosion need to be considered in other ways? Wu Shigong despised Xue Qiang in his heart: "What an ignorant group of small people. ”

After being sent to the gate of Wu's mansion, Xue Qiang said to Wu Shigong: "Master Hou has ordered, let the little one follow his uncle every day in the future." ”

When he returned home, Xiuzhu showed Wu Shigong's face. He was annoyed by Xiuzhu's complaining and nagging all night. Anyway, the repetition is: "The young master's injury is just right, and he has to recuperate at home." "And" The young master was injured just right, and he went to drink and hurt his body. These two sentences. Annoyed by her, Wu Shigong reluctantly promised Xiuzhu not to go out for more than ten days before marriage, and to cultivate himself at home.

And that Xue Qiang was also very conscientious, and from the next day, he waited in the gatehouse of Wu Mansion every day with a carriage and a coachman. And asked someone to entrust Wu Shigong that he had already paid twenty taels of silver in the Xue family's account room, and if it was not enough, he could also pay it. Originally, Wu Shigong was a little dissatisfied with Xue Qiang's attitude, and when he heard this, Wu Shigong was furious. What do you think of me? Eat soft rice? Our eldest young master Wu Shigong really didn't realize that his identity as a son-in-law was a soft eater. So, the eldest young master Wu Shigong did not come out of the door of the house, and hung Xue Qiang outside the door for three days. Xue Qiang's attitude is also quite upright, every morning arrives, the sun sets before returning to Xue's mansion, but whether he really has no regrets in his heart, Wu Shigong doesn't know, and he doesn't bother to know, after all, Xue Qiang is just a house slave. It seems that our eldest young master Wu Shigong is becoming more and more like a master.
