Chapter 129: Something Goes Wrong
"Master Hou is polite." Xie Chongning sat in his place without being surprised, and politely faced the greetings of the Marquis of Guangping.
"Lord Xie has a long way to go this time, and he deliberately rushed from the capital to the south, so he must have not been able to rest well along the way." Guangping Hou sat heavily on the chair and looked at Xie Chongning with a smile.
"It's nothing to share worries for the emperor." Xie Chongning replied indifferently.
"Oh, if there are more people in this court, like Lord Xie, who is worried about the country and the people, our Qing Dynasty will have a smooth wind and rain, and the country and the people will be safe." Guangping Hou shook his head and sighed from the bottom of his heart.
As he spoke, he raised the wine glass in front of him and raised it in the direction of Xie Chongning, "Just for Lord Xie's words, I also have to give a glass to Lord Xie." Thank you, please! ”
Looking at the enthusiastic posture of Guangping Hou, Xie Chongning was embarrassed to touch his face, so he had to raise the wine glass in front of him to cater to him. Guangping Hou smiled heartily, put down the wine glass, and turned his eyes to Mu Yu and Zhang Wei again, "I don't know ...... these two girls are."
"This is the insider." Xie Chongning looked at Mu Yu and nodded slightly, and then pointed at Zhang Wei, "This is Miss Zhang, who has good medical skills, and she is here for this southern epidemic." ”
"It turned out to be Mrs. Xie." Guangping Hou glanced at Mu Yu a few more times, "Lord Xie is really blessed, to be able to marry such a beautiful lady." ”
"Master Hou has a good reputation, and it is my blessing to be able to marry an adult." Mu Yu smiled modestly, but in his heart he felt that this Guangping Hou was a little strange.
It stands to reason that the identity of this Marquis of Guangping is higher than Xie Chongning, and a marquis is so polite to Dali Siqing, and there is a sense of compliment, and he always feels that something is abnormal.
Of course, this can't be sent out because this Guangping Marquis is already approachable, but now, I am afraid that there are not many Hou Ye who can be so informal.
"Then this should be the famous dustless master in the capital, right?" Guangping Hou pointed at Wuchen, "Oh, I've heard the name of Master Wuchen in this Yancheng, but unfortunately I haven't had the opportunity to see Master Wuchen with my own eyes, and I didn't expect it to be restored today." ”
Wuchen stretched out a hand and put it on his chest, leaning over slightly towards Guangping Hou, "Hou Ye is serious, Wuchen is just a little novice, and he can't afford Hou Ye's praise." ”
"I'm complimenting here, my friends in the capital, they all say that Master Wuchen's mana is boundless, and he can see everything thoroughly, and if he has a chance today, please ask Master Wuchen to calculate it for me, and see what my future is?" Guangping Hou patted his round belly and smiled, waiting for Wuchen's response.
Wuchen's face was cold, and his eyes lowered slightly, "Master Hou is now above and below 10,000 people, how can he talk about the future?" ”
"Huh." Guangping Hou Gan laughed twice, "Don't look at me as a Hou Ye, but I am an idle Hou Ye now, and I am not in the court, just looking at the scenery!" ”
"Master Hou is looking at the scenery there?" Zhang Wei pursed her lips and chuckled, "You are a real scenery!" Although you are not on duty in the court, you don't have to be afraid, do you? ”
Guangping Hou thought about it carefully, "What Miss Zhang said really makes sense, my friends who are on duty in the court always complain to me about the difficulty of entering the court as an official, don't look at me as a small goose city, but I really never have to be angry." ”
Mu Yu lowered his head with a smile on the corner of his mouth, this Zhang Wei also bit that he was a child of a peasant family, and he could see that Hou Ye was not afraid at all, but he talked and laughed happily, which was really unconvincing.
"My lord passed through Yancheng this time, and it was for the sake of the epidemic on a regular basis!" After chatting about the north and the south, Guangping Hou finally returned to the topic.
"Exactly."
Speaking of this, the Marquis of Guangping smiled proudly, "How did Lord Xie feel from entering Yancheng to the mansion?" ”
"The business market is prosperous, and the people live in peace." Xie Chongning replied truthfully.
Guangping Hou raised his head and laughed, "That is, don't look at me as a lazy person, but in the matter of governing the city, I still won't be sloppy, this southern epidemic, I saw that it spread to our Yancheng, as soon as I heard the rumor, I didn't hesitate at all, and immediately chose to close the city, and now this Yancheng, there is no epidemic." ”
Mu Yu listened to this Guangping Hou boasting to himself, and looked at Xie Chongning meaningfully, how did this Guangping Hou's tone sound a little bit of an invitation to merit?
"Master Hou is decisive and an example for us to learn." Xie Chongning praised in a deep voice.
Guangping Hou waved his hand and said with a smile, "The example is not enough, but Lord Xie, you can rest assured, my Yancheng, absolutely nothing will happen, this epidemic has reached my Yancheng, it is to enter the Yama Palace, and there is no possibility of wreaking havoc!" ”
Wuchen pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Before we set off, we heard that the epidemic seems to have spread to Yancheng. ”
"Nonsense!" Guangping Hou Hu's body was shocked, and he put down the small wine glass in his hand slightly angrily, and the slender wine glass suddenly broke from the middle, "My Yancheng is very peaceful, where is there any epidemic?" ”
If there is no epidemic, there is no epidemic, why are you so excited, but it looks like there is a feeling that there is no silver three hundred taels here. Mu Yu carefully observed the attitude of the Marquis of Guangping, smiled gently, and haha, "Master Hou should not be angry, Master Wuchen does not want to question Lord Hou, he is just afraid that the people will be ignorant, even if he has an epidemic, he will hide it and not report it, for fear that the adults will be kept in the dark." ”
Guangping Hou also seemed to feel that his reaction was a little excessive, and smiled and changed to the broken wine glass in his hand, "So that's the case, look at my impatience, I actually misunderstood Master Wuchen's words, and asked me to compensate Master Wuchen first." ”
Seeing that Guangping Hou raised his wine glass to Wuchen, Wuchen leaned over slightly, and said coldly, "Wuchen is a monk, and it is not appropriate to drink." ”
Guangping Hou, who was swept up again, was also a little cold towards Wuchen's attitude, and reluctantly asked his subordinates to prepare a bowl of tea for Wuchen, "Since the master doesn't drink alcohol, then I have to eat this cup of tea to make amends, right?" ”
Wuchen indifferently picked up the teacup in front of him, raised it slightly in front of him, and then put it to his lips and took a sip in response.
"Master Wuchen has always been this cold character, and we have long been used to getting along along this way." Zhang Wei turned her head sideways and glanced at Wuchen, with a hint of schadenfreude in her eyes.
Mu Yu looked at Wuchen, obviously they were all monks, and they came to save the people, but they still couldn't avoid this mortal world. "Master Hou's reparation is a bit heavy, Master Wuchen is straightforward, and his words will inevitably cause misunderstanding, and I have to thank Master Hou for not being strange."
Hearing the steps given by Mu Yu, Guangping Hou's face gradually softened, and he looked at Xie Chongning with a smile, "Lord Xie is really a good blessing, this Mrs. Xie is not only beautiful in appearance, but even her heart is exquisite." ”
Xie Chongning hooked the corners of his mouth, "Master Hou has won the award." ”
"Lord Xie, I heard that the emperor's body doesn't seem to be very good recently." Marquis Guangping gasped and lowered his voice, "The cabinet in this court has always liked to find the emperor's displeasure, and now the emperor's body is not so good, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Lord Xie these days." ”
"Lord Sun, they are also thinking about the people, and disagreements are common, and the emperor and Lord Sun are just talking about things." Xie Chongning calmly faced the gossip of the Marquis of Guangping.
"Not necessarily." Guangping Hou Han laughed twice, and looked at Xie Chongning sideways, "I didn't hear about it in this Yancheng, I heard that since the emperor was seriously ill, this cabinet has been constantly making trouble for you, Lord Xie, Lord Xie's life in Dali Temple is not good!" ”
Xie Chongning took a sip of the spirits in the wine glass, and his eyes wandered off the granite paved floor, "The rumors are not credible, just as the rumors also say that this wild goose city is now a dead city, but the prosperity in this city has really opened my eyes recently." ”
"Haha! That's right, rumors are not credible, rumors are not credible! After Guangping Hou heard Xie Chongning say this, he lost his gossip and let Xie Chongning drink.
After a glass of spirits, Mu Yu sat next to him, and it was visible to the naked eye that Xie Chongning's cold face had a faint red, "Drink less." She whispered.
Xie Chongning raised his eyes slightly, his eyes were deep and he couldn't see the bottom, "It's okay." ”
"Then you eat a few bites of food, and you will definitely get drunk if you keep drinking like this." Mu Yu had no choice but to serve him vegetables, and Xie Chongning responded to Guangping Hou's toast while quietly eating the dishes that Mu Yu put in the bowl.
She can see that this Guangping Hou is deliberately drunk Xie Chongning! With such a strong wine, drink it bottle by bottle, how can you not get drunk?
In the end, Xie Chongning leaned half of his body on her, his eyes were blurred and unfocused, and this Guangping Hou could be regarded as giving up.
Xie Chongning's slender arm carried her shoulder, she followed the housekeeper step by step, and walked to the room arranged for them by the Hou Ye, and the maid next to her saw it and wanted to step forward to help, "Madam, let me help you." ”
Mu Yu nodded, this Xie Chongning is indeed a little heavy, her shoulders are sore, I am afraid that she will not be able to bear the complete weight of this man, but Xie Chongning is a person who does not care for people, waved away the maid's hand, and directly hugged Mu Yu, and no one was allowed to touch it.
She smiled awkwardly at the maid who got up to help, "Forget it, let me come, you can help me bring a basin of hot water in." ”
Xie Chongning rested his head on her shoulder, her breath was different, and the moist and warm breath sprayed on her neck and shoulders, and she shrugged her shoulders helplessly, and complained in a low voice, "You said you can't drink and drink so much, what are you doing?" ”
She helped the man all the way back to the house, tried to gently put him on the bed, waited for the maid to bring hot water, wrung out the towel, and wiped the man's handsome face.
"You go down, I'll be here for you." Mu Yu looked at the maid standing aside, anyway, she didn't need her help here, so he let her leave.
It's just that after the maid closed the door, Xie Chongning's closed eyes opened slowly, and his eyes were clear, where there was half a trace of drunkenness.
Mu Yu stopped what he was doing and blinked in surprise, "You're not drunk?" ”
