After listening to Xu County's order, where did he dare to delay, he immediately shouted: "Prepare the horse, prepare the horse, the official has to hurry up and chase over." ”

"Yes." The little guys should respond and hurry to prepare the horses.

After a short time, the two horses were led to the yamen, and Xu Xianling and Master Tian hurriedly got on the horses.

And Xu Dexian followed Zou Jiang to learn his homework for a period of time, and benefited a lot, and when he learned that Zou Jiang did not say goodbye, he immediately rode a horse to chase after him.

The literati of Da Chu paid attention to the six arts of gentlemen, and riding and archery was one of the lessons that must be learned, so Xu Xianling and the three of them were all able to ride horses, and they chased for three hours with a fast horse, and finally caught up with the mule cart that Zou Jiang was sitting on.

"Uncle, stay here!" Xu Xian Ling shouted from afar.

In the mule cart, Zou Jiang sneered, he used to scold him for being a thief and an old fox, but now that he knows his usefulness, he calls uncle.

He said to the driver, "Hurry up." ”

"Yes, sir." The coachman was Zou Jiang's newly bought subordinate, and he was trained by Zou Jiang to be very obedient, and when he heard this, he immediately threw the mule a few whips, and the mule howled a few times, spread its hooves and ran wildly.

Xu Xianling is about to vomit blood, why do you run more and more when you scream?

But the horses were faster than the mule carts, and Xu Xian ordered them to run for another quarter of an hour or so, and finally ran in front of the mule carts and blocked the way of the mule carts.

Xu Xian Ling turned over and dismounted, rushed to the mule cart, and said: "Uncle Jiang stays, and don't go back to his hometown, please save Xu's life!" ”

Zou Jiang said in a slightly surprised voice: "Lord Xu, why are you here?" I heard that Lord Xu is going to be promoted, and his official fortune will be prosperous in the future, and his name will go down in history, so why do you need Jiang to save him? ”

Xu Xianling was about to cry, looked around, and after seeing that there was no one on the official road, he simply said the situation he was facing, and finally said: "Jiang Lao is ingenious and has excellent means, only Jiang Lao can help Xu and save Xu in danger." ”

However, Zou Jiang listened and said: "Lord Xu is indeed not easy, but ...... Why should I help Lord Xu? Jiang now just wants to go back to his hometown to spend his old age in peace, and Jiang will pay back the money he owes to the county government. ”

After listening to Xu County's order, he almost choked to death, and hurriedly apologized: "Jiang Lao, I was too much in the past, I shouldn't have misunderstood Jiang Lao, I apologize to your old man, and I hope that you can help the younger generation regardless of your past suspicions." ”

Zou Jiang was quite satisfied when he heard Xu Xianling call himself a junior, but it was not enough.

Xu Xianling saw that Zou Jiang didn't speak, and after seeing his son who came on horseback, he said: "You have taught Brother Xian for almost two months, get along well, treat him as a grandchild, and you don't want to see him affected by me, and his life will be short." ”

"Daddy." Xu Dexian dismounted, shouted Xu County's order, and said to Zou Jiang in the mule cart: "Grandpa Jiang, don't go, come with us to the capital." You are old and alone, and you are so lonely when you go back to your hometown. ”

Xu Xianling hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, you are also alone when you go back to the countryside, so it is better to follow our family to the capital." ”

Xu Xianling glanced at his son, gritted his teeth and said: "Brother Xian admires you very much, it's better to be like this, if you don't dislike it, how about recognizing a godfather with Brother Xian and being his grandfather?" ”

Xu Dexian's eyes widened, he was sold by his father like this? His father was really afraid of death.

Zou Jiang finally spoke: "It's not necessary to recognize the relatives, Brother Xian'er is loyal and benevolent, even if there is no relationship between the relatives, the old man Jiang is dead, he will come to give the old man a ride." ”

Compared with Zou County's family, Zou Jiang obviously prefers Xu Countyling's family, Xu County's family is a rare innocent official, and Xu Dexian is also affectionate and righteous, unlike Zou Yuzhen's brothers, who are white-eyed wolves. And he is a lonely old man, following Xu Xianling's family, and he can still live a life with his family.

Zou Jiang finally relented and ordered Xu County: "What the lord asks, the old man will answer." ”

Xu Xian listened to the order, he was so happy that he almost cried with joy, but his life was finally saved.

Zou Jiang said again: "The weather is cold, let's go back first, the old man has to hurry." ”

Xu Xianling was stunned: "Jiang Lao still refuses to forgive me?" ”

Why do you have to go, the old man is too good to toss.

Zou Jiang said: "The old man hasn't returned to his hometown for many years, it's time to go back and have a look, otherwise I won't be able to go back until I go to Beijing with the adults." ”

Therefore, he said goodbye today, firstly, to scare the county order, and secondly, to really return to his hometown.

Xu Xian Ling listened to it, he breathed a sigh of relief, and was afraid that Zou Jiang would never return, so he thought about it, dragged his son over and said: "Brother Xian has been studying with you for a while, and his homework and life have grown a lot, so it is better to let him return to his hometown with you, and he can continue to study with you." ”

Zou Jiang didn't refuse, but asked Xu Dexian: "Brother Xian, are you willing to go back to my hometown with me for a month?" If you go back before the year, you won't be allowed to stay in Luchang County for the New Year. ”

Xu Dexian listened, didn't worry, nodded and said, "Brother Xian'er is naturally willing." ”

Zou Jiang smiled: "Then let's go." ”

The mule cart started again, and Xu Dexian rode to follow, heading to Luchang County.

Xu Xianling successfully invited Zou Jiang, and he was finally relieved, and said to Master Tian with a smile: "Our fate is saved." ”

smiled and smiled, lowered his face again, and asked Master Tian: "Do you remember what County Captain Jiang said last night, why don't I go and invite Jiang Lao last night, so as not to cause trouble?" ”

Master Tian: "I don't remember, my lord remembered it wrongly, County Lieutenant Jiang shouldn't have said this." ”

"Didn't you? Is it because I drank too much? Xu Xianling underestimated him, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he seemed to have been cheated by Zou Jiang again, and Jiang County Lieutenant seemed to know about it.

Master Tian said with a serious face: "My lord, don't think nonsense, let's go back quickly, we have to ride a horse for three hours, and it will be dark when we return to the county seat." ”

Xu County's order listened, hurriedly got on the horse, and ran back to the county seat, and when he returned to the county seat, Xu County's order also came back to his senses, damn, he was really pitted again.

But what can he do, Zou Jiang is wise and brave and has the means, and he is a character who can help him.

After returning to the county seat, Xu County Ling began to take Master Zheng to familiarize himself with the various official affairs in the county.

……

In Dafeng Village, Gu Jinli was busy harvesting aphid grass, so he began to think of new dishes and prepare to open a restaurant.

The Zou family's rich building has all the facilities, there is no need to repair it at all, and the kitchen is staffed by Gu Daya's subordinates, as long as the new dishes are prepared, and a few guys who run the hall are invited, the restaurant can dare to open before the winter solstice.

Mrs. Xia heard that the restaurant in the town also had a share of her, so in order to show her goodwill, she specially asked Cheng Ge'er to send her a recipe.

Ancient recipes can be passed down to the family, they belong to secret recipes, and generally no one will give them to outsiders, but Cheng Ge'er said: "Mr.'s wife said, this recipe should be given to our family." ”

Gu Jinli understood in seconds, accepted the recipe, looked at the dishes on it, and found that ...... These dishes are expensive and wasteful ingredients to make, and to make a mutton, you have to kill a chicken to make a pot of thick soup first, and then put the mutton in the chicken broth and simmer over low heat.

Tut-tut, the restaurant in the town is not a banquet for the powerful, and it is such a costly dish, so it will go out of business if it wants to open, right?
