Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Spring Season
Bai Zhan hurriedly caught up, took off the snow-stained Da Chao for him, patted the snow on his head, and Shou'er immediately served a cup of hot ginger tea, Bai Zhan extended Da Chao to Shou'er, took the ginger tea and said: "Master, you take a sip of ginger tea and go to the cold."
Bai Jugao took it and said casually: "It's snowing outside, it's not cold." After speaking, he brought the ginger tea to his mouth and drank a few sips.
Bai said to himself: "Now that it's spring, there is probably not much snow left."
Bai Jugao nodded: "Yes."
Bai Zhan was not happy to hear this, and said: "There are not many snows, and it is cold, and taking care of the body is better than anything else."
Bai Zi was frightened when he heard this tone, and hurriedly said "yes, yes", not daring to refute it for half a minute, otherwise, he would have to be reprimanded again later. It's just that after waiting for Bai Jugao to sit down in a chair, she asked, "Father, how is the matter with the house?"
Bai Ju, who listened to her question, smiled highly, and when Bai saw his smile, he knew that he had done the job.
Bai Jugao said: "The affairs of the house have been completed, and now only some other things are missing."
At this time, Bai Zhan asked, "Do you want to send someone to clean up?"
Bai Jugao shook his head and said, "No need, the original owner of the house has just moved out for two days, and many things are the same, Shou Niang." He called Bai Zhan and said, "You let people go over and clean up, move things in, and settle the next people, and that's it."
Bai Zhan nodded: "I know."
At this time, Bai Jugao asked Bai Zhan's family: "How is Jue'er?"
Bai Zhan was a little worried as soon as he talked about this matter, and said, "The subordinates are guarding there, and they will send back any news after they have been instructed." In fact, it's useless to let people guard it, after all, they can't come out for three days, and people outside can't go in, it's just that Bai Zhan's clan is doing this to find peace of mind.
Bai Jugao, who listened to her words, also nodded, this was his son's first spring festival, so naturally there were many things to worry about.
Bai Zizi guessed well before, and this year's Zhigongju in the spring of this year is the old gentleman of the Great Confucian Yan and Law of the Hanlin Academy. Mr. Yan is honest and selfless, so he is not afraid of favoritism and fraud in this imperial examination......
……
The bamboo of the house in Wutong Lane on Zhuque Street has always been very green and strong, especially the snow pressed on the bamboo, which makes this house very quiet.
Mao Chen walked in from outside and turned into a quiet courtyard, with three words written on the courtyard door - Lonely Goose House. This is where Song Yujing lives.
Mao Chen strode in, saw his master playing with himself again, lowered his head, and said, "Master."
Song Yujing didn't raise his head: "What?"
Mao Chen: "The imperial examination has begun."
Song Yujing nodded: "I know."
At this time, Mao Si came in to report: "Master, Xu Zheng is here."
At this time, Song Yujing finally raised his head, paused, stood up, and walked out, while instructing: "Don't let him find anything."
"Yes." Mao Si responded.
And Mao Chen watched the two of them leave like this, but he sighed in his heart, obviously he didn't know how good it was to stay outside the plug, but because he couldn't let go of the hatred in his heart, he returned to Yuanjing, and now, there is no one to talk to in Yuanjing. Although the master is quiet, he is really afraid that something will go wrong with him.
Song Yujing naturally didn't know what Mao Chen was thinking, and when he went outside, he saw Xu Zheng standing outside, he smiled and said, "Brother Xu rarely comes to my humble house, I am really shining here."
Xu Zheng looked at him and said with a smile: "Don't laugh at me, I'm a rough person, I can't understand what you say, don't let me go."
When Song Yujing heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and invited him to come in for tea. Xu Zheng didn't say which sip was good, but he drank it if he had to drink, just to warm his body.
Song Yujing opened his mouth and said, "Brother Xu, the case I asked you to help investigate before, has it been settled?"
As soon as Brother Xu talked about this matter, he frowned and said, "It's just a case of conspiracy between officials and businessmen, I handed over the case, and the officials and businessmen have already been imprisoned."
Song Yujing thanked him: "Brother Xu has done me a great favor."
Xu Zheng didn't take it to heart, waved his hand casually, and said: "When I encounter this kind of thing, I, as the head catcher of Dali Temple, should have intervened." Originally, I just didn't know, and if I did, how could I let it go. ”
Song Yujing, who listened to his words, smiled and bowed his hand to him: "Brother Xu is really the most upright person I have ever met." He saw that Xu Zheng waved his hand a little shyly, he paused, and said, "Didn't I say that I would invite you to drink a few days ago, it just so happened that under the snow in my yard there was a good daughter red on the altar, so it is better to invite you to drink today."
When Xu Zheng heard this, he was very happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "This is very good!"
Song Yujing instructed Mao Si beside him at this time: "You go to the kitchen and bring some snacks and dishes to Wangluxuan, I want to catch the head with Xu without getting drunk and returning."
Mao Si ordered: "Yes."
Song Yujing stood up, and Xu Zheng followed him around the corner and went in, and asked, "You haven't lived in this house for long, why did you bury your daughter Hong so quickly?" I heard that the days of my daughter's red burial are not long and not mellow. ”
Song Yujing smiled: "Brother Xu is too worried. Originally, the owner of this house was in the wine business, so naturally there were many burials in the house. When I discussed with him about buying the house, he said that he would have to dig up the wine buried in the house for some time, and I felt that it was troublesome, so I bought the wine directly. In this way, he will not lose anything, and I will have good wine to drink,"
Xu Zheng nodded when he heard this, and said with a smile: "You are careful and save a lot of trouble."
Song Yujing didn't care much when he heard this, and only said to Xu Zheng: "If Brother Xu is about this business next time, you can come and ask me, and you will never let you suffer."
When Xu Zheng heard this, he laughed and said, "As an official, I naturally have very little money exchange, but if there is, I will definitely come to you."
Although he said the first two sentences a little strangely, Song Yujing didn't feel much discomfort when he heard it, he knew that he was originally this kind of person, but he felt that he was more upright.
The two walked under a peach tree with only branches left, and it happened that Mao Chen came over with a small hoe, Song Yujing took it and dug it to the ground, and after a while, a red cloth was exposed, but between two breaths, he dug out the altar of daughter red.
Song Yujing slapped the altar seal on it open, and a mellow aroma of wine spread in the air, teasing the two of them with their alcohol addiction.
Xu Zheng took a breath and said in a loud voice: "This really hooks my addiction to alcohol."
Song Yujing laughed rarely, and said, "Let's go, Brother Xu, there is wine tonight, and I will be drunk tonight, and I will be worried tomorrow."
Xu Zheng: "Hahahaha......"
