Chapter 269: Reconciliation
Ouyang Shu looked at Zhou Huai's somewhat nervous appearance, and said softly: Brother Shuisheng, what are you nervous about, the so-called don't do bad things during the day, and you are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night, you are an upright gentleman, what is there to fear?
The flattering smile on Zhou Huai's face immediately took on a bit of bitterness: Where did Brother Mu Wu speak, how could the younger brother be afraid, it's just that he was just in a hurry to return to the yamen. Now I have a lot of business in the yamen, and I am really busy.
Ouyang Shu smiled: It's good if you don't have it, it's good if you don't have it! After a pause, he leaned into Zhou Huai's ear again, and said softly: Brother Shuisheng, do you think it's time for us to get together, you and I have an extraordinary friendship, although the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and the relationship between gentlemen can never be measured by the number of times they sit at the same banquet, but if they don't get together for a long time, won't friends also fade?
Zhou Huai couldn't help but be a little confused in his heart: When did you and I become friends? And it seems that we have never gotten together in the past, so why don't we get together for a long time? But after all, he could only nod and agree: Brother Mu Wu is right, in fact, the younger brother has long had the mind of annoying Brother Mu Wu, but you have a beautiful woman as a companion at home, and the little brother can't bear to disturb it! Now, he finally half-laughed at himself, and half-jokingly said a somewhat humorous sentence.
Ouyang Shuxi said: Since this is the case, let's settle it. That's it, tomorrow night, how about you go to the Xianyun Restaurant in Little Sweet Water Lane to set a location, the little brother will arrive before the time, and I hope that the aquatic brother will not be late!
Zhou Huai felt pain for a while, but he had to pretend to be very happy and patted his chest and agreed.
You must know that he is not wealthy, he has not been an official for a long time, and he is an errand boy in the Qingshui Yamen such as the main and guest department of the Ministry of Rites, and he has not saved much silver. And that little sweet water lane is a place for high consumption, not only in Bianjing City, but also in the entire Great Song Dynasty, it is also a place to go for Xiaojin, go to a place like Xianyun Restaurant to eat, and the silver he has accumulated this month should be about the same. But the problem is that I don't know what novel dishes Ouyang Shu wants at that time.
Zhou Huai's heart was dripping blood, and his face became a little red.
Ouyang Shu pretended to look at Zhou Huai with concern, and said: Brother Shuisheng, what's the matter, your face doesn't look very good!
Zhou Huai simply hated Ouyang Shu, a guy with a knife in his smile and a black heart and lungs. But the situation is stronger than people, so he had to force a smile: nothing, the little brother just remembered that he would be able to reunite with Brother Mu Wu tomorrow, and he felt extremely relieved!
Ouyang Shu laughed and said, "Oh, yes, we are heroes who see the same thing, it seems that we are really a pair of good friends who cherish each other."
Zhou Huai nodded weakly in agreement.
At this time, Ouyang Shu looked ahead, suddenly woke up, stomped his feet, and said: Oh, Brother Shuisheng, I'm really sorry, I actually forgot to remind you, the front is Xuande Gate, and your Ministry of Rites has already passed. Look at the two of us, talking so speculatively, we actually forgot the way!
Zhou Huai couldn't laugh at this time, and the frustration on his face couldn't be concealed at all. You must know that in the general court department, the most important thing is to talk about seniority. After the next dynasty, it must be those with lowly official positions who come to the yamen first, and those old qualified bosses are late. If a minor official falls behind the big official for no reason, it will cause the entire yamen to be displeased. And this point is most prominent in the department of etiquette, which is highly hierarchical and pays the most attention to etiquette. It is conceivable that at this time, not to mention other people, even the Ministry of Rites Shangshu may have already sat down, Zhou Huai, a junior official, actually arrived later than Shangshu, and it is strange that it is not regarded as a manifestation of arrogance.
Ouyang Shu seemed to know nothing about these rules, and said with a touched face: Brother Shuisheng, I sent my little brother to Xuande Gate, which really moved my little brother, and my little brother had nothing to repay, so I had to give you two more glasses tomorrow night!
Zhou Huai felt a burst of qi and blood rolling, and he almost vomited blood on the spot. Fortunately, he still had the last shred of sanity, but he couldn't care about being polite to Ouyang Shu anymore, turned his head, and walked the way he came. It's just that I don't know if he was in too disordered mood, and he suddenly said goodbye at his feet and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he didn't fall after all, and limped away.
The people on the side of the road saw that Zhuang Yuanlang, who had always been personable and elegant, actually looked discouraged, staggered, and pointed at each other, and was very curious.
Ouyang Shu looked at Zhou Huai's distant back, and sneered: It seems that I was really wrong, and I have always forgotten to tell you this sentence: Don't mess with me! At this moment, I suddenly heard a deep stop from the crowd!, a black shadow suddenly flew out of the crowd of the Hu family, and it was bullied forward as fast as lightning, and it instantly deceived Wu Qi'er's side, and the moment before the stone in Wu Qi'er's hand was about to hit the person who fell to the ground, the man's big hand had already grabbed Wu Qi'er's small hand!
It's too late, it's too soon. Although this series of actions took half a day, it was born in that short moment. Only then did everyone see clearly, it turned out that the man in black was the master of the nursing home who came with Ouyang Shu.
Ouyang Shu saw it, and secretly admired it in his heart, it seems that this master Gao is really hidden, he has never shown such a clever light skill in the past. Just looking at his hand, it is a lot higher than all the other nursing homes above and below the Li family.
Master Gao's face sank like water, and he snatched the stone from Wu Qi'er's hand and threw it on the ground, and said in his mouth: Evil barrier, why are you so ruthless?
Wu Qi'er said unconvinced: "Master, this person's insulting words are really hateful!" The people of the Hu family nodded one after another, and they were a little dissatisfied with Master Gao's indiscriminate treatment. In their opinion, although the beggar is ruthless, after all, the other party is not right first, how can he reprimand him like this?
And those people in the Lu family were even more frightened, they didn't expect that there were such masters hidden in this group of people in the Hu family. If he made an early move, he would have been alone, and dozens of people on the other party's side would be more than enough.
Before Master Gao could reprimand Wu Qi'er again, Ouyang Shu hurriedly stepped forward to relieve the siege and said: Master Gao, you and Qi'er should step down!
Only then did Master Gao remember that although he was right to train his apprentice, it was indeed a little inappropriate to reprimand him in front of so many people. At that moment, he snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Wu Qi'er's face did not change at all, and he glanced at the person on the ground angrily, and the person was stabbed in the eyes of a child like Wu Qi'er, and his hair immediately stood on end, and the two places that he had just slapped with a stone suddenly became less painful. However, his heart was cold, this child's eyes were so terrible, he actually had a feeling: if he continued to entangle, that kid would kill himself!
He was terrified in his heart, but he didn't expect that if a child of this age was prepared, even if he was given a sharp weapon, he would not be able to kill himself!
said that Wu Qi'er returned to the crowd of the Hu family with an expressionless face, and suddenly his eyes lit up, but he saw a smiling face carved in pink and jade facing him honestly. This person is naturally Hu Xiuer.
Hu Xiu'er stepped forward, pulled Wu Qi'er's sleeve, and said: "I didn't expect that you are not only not a coward, but also a little powerful! The little girl offended you during the day today, don't take it to heart." Thinking about the way you smash the stone at that guy, I'm both happy and scared!
