Xia Qi couldn't wait to leave here early, so as not to let Luo Qian see the ugly faces of the Xia family. Hearing Luo Qian's greeting, he responded with a "yes", lifted the hem of his clothes and was about to get into the carriage.

"Brother Qi, Brother Qi, Brother Qi, ......" Xia Zhengshen grabbed the hem of Xia Qi's clothes and said hurriedly, "Your grandmother's words, you also heard them that day." Since your two brothers are here, take them with you. ”

Before everyone could speak, they heard Luo Qian say coldly: "Brother Qi, what's going on?" ”

Xia Qi heard that Luo Qian had the intention of interfering, and was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "My grandmother and uncle came that day, and insisted that I take my two cousins to Xuanping Houfu for a banquet. We have all said that whoever is invited to this kind of banquet can only go to whomever you want, and it is rude to bring more people. But I don't want my grandmother and uncle to be distracted. He raised his chin in the direction of Xia Qi and Xia Qi, "Look, isn't this just bringing people!" ”

Xia Qi is Xia Qi's sworn enemy; Xia Zhen is a person who doesn't care about everything except reading, and is relatively indifferent to his family, and never pays attention to Xia Qi when he sees Xia Qi being bullied by Xia Qi and Xia Chan. Xia Qi didn't have a good impression of them, so he said this sentence politely at all.

Xia Zhen listened, and there was an unhappy look on his face; Xia Qi's gaze at Xia Qi was implicitly unkind.

Luo Qian frowned, turned around, glanced at Xia Qi and Xia Qi, and asked, "You have both read books, right?" ”

Xia Zhen was overjoyed, thinking that Luo Qian was checking whether he was qualified to attend the banquet in the waiting house, so he hurriedly bowed respectfully and replied: "I have been studying for more than ten years, and I am a child; The same is true of the fifth brother Xia Prayer. ”

Summer prayer also bent down. He replied, "Exactly." ”

Luo Qian said lightly: "Since I have been studying for more than ten years, I think I should also know etiquette and reason." 'Uninvited, uninvited guests'. Have you ever heard of this sentence? You should be an uninvited guest, but because of your own selfishness, you should not trap others in rudeness. There is no benevolence and righteousness in his heart, and he knows that he is rude and acts on his own, if such a person can be admitted to Xiucai. My country is worried! ”

These words made Xia Zhen and Xia Qi shocked.

Who doesn't know that Luo Tuiguan's power is greater than that of the prefect? His words may be able to affect the fate of children in Linjiang City. Now Luo Qian said that if they were allowed to pass the examination, it would be a shame for the country. With this sentence, they are at a loss in virtue, and what is the use of writing a good article? Who will take them again?

Xia Qi is okay, the old lady spoils him and loves him. Xia Zhengshen is his own son again, and he is not very good at studying, even if he participates in the children's exam, he is also the kind of person who accompanies his son to take the exam. So he just turned pale and didn't accuse anything.

This is not the case with Xia Zhen. Since he was a child, he has been praised by his husband for his talent; I usually work very hard. The heart and mind are to gain fame and get ahead. Now that the road to Qingyun was blocked, he was like being struck by lightning, and said in a panic: "And, it's not that I'm coming down. It's the grandmother at home who looks at Jackie Chan. You have to force me to wait. Thinking about filial piety, there is this line. It's not that I mean to trap my son for being rude. I also knew that this trip was inappropriate, and tried to dissuade the elders in the family. Helpless ......"

Luo Qian interrupted him coldly: "The elders of your family want you to kill people, but for the sake of filial piety, you can't kill people?" Don't distinguish between right and wrong, have no opinions, and you're embarrassed to have a word! ”

With that, he waved his sleeves and stepped into the carriage.

Xia Qi saw it. hurriedly pulled Xia Jin and got into Uncle Luo's car.

Xia Jin glanced at Xia Zhen. I couldn't help but laugh in my heart.

This Luo Qian has always been silent, but he didn't expect to speak, but he was very poisonous. After a few words of essays and a few dirty words, the three of them were so humiliated that they couldn't raise their heads. An arrogant person like Xia Zhen, it's good if he didn't go back and hit the wall, where does he still have the face to ask to follow him to Houfu?

Uncle Luo drove the carriage and walked slowly behind Luo Qian's carriage. Xia Zhen and Xia Qi's faces turned red and white, and they stood there in a daze, their faces full of shame and anger, but they didn't let go of any more farts. When Luo Qian's carriage went away, Xia Zhen ignored Xia Zhengshen and Xia Qi, turned around and got into the car directly, and instructed the coachman: "Let's go." ”

The coachman hesitated and looked at Xia Zhengshen.

Xia Zhengshen was timid and afraid of things, thinking about the stakes in everything, he didn't dare to provoke the third room supported by Houfu and Luofu, but the old lady made a big fuss, he held the luck mentality, so he led his son and nephew to try his luck, but he didn't want to be mocked by Luo Qian sarcastically and scoldingly, and he made a big fuss.

At this time, he didn't have the face to talk to Xia Zhengqian anymore, turned around, got into the carriage too, and shouted in a low voice, "Let's go." ”

After Xia Qi got into the car, he didn't know what he felt, his face was calm, and he didn't speak all the way. Seeing this, Xia Jin leaned on the back of the seat leisurely, looked out at the scenery through the gap in the car window, and did not say a word. In the silence of the brother and sister, the carriage finally stopped slowly, and Luo Qian was heard from a distance: "It's here, get off." ”

The brothers and sisters of the Xia family got out of the car, only to find that there was still some distance from Xuanping Houfu.

Luo Qian came over and explained: "We came late, and the front was blocked by other carriages, so we couldn't get through. Let's go the extra mile. ”

Xia Qi had already left what had just happened behind him, and his heart became uneasy, with a worried expression: "So many people came to the banquet?" ”

Luo Qian glanced at him and said, "Although Linjiang City has a waiting house given by the emperor, Xuanpinghou's hometown is in the countryside of Pingnan. Even if you return to your hometown to worship your ancestors, Linjiang City is just a place to stay. Usually, their family lives in the capital. Now that the old lady Xuanping is returning to her hometown with her daughter, she naturally wants to feast the local official Xiangkun to summon everyone that she is back. It's etiquette. ”

"I see." Xia Qi nodded, his expression still uneasy.

He is such a child of a small ordinary family, and the biggest occasion he has ever seen is a wedding banquet at a relative's house. Even if it is a wedding banquet, it is led by his parents and elders, and his cousin Xia You is demonstrated, he only needs to hide behind his brother and sister and draw a scoop according to the gourd, where is there a place for him to come out independently?

But now, the people who went to the banquet together were all powerful squires, and as Lang Zhong who cured Mrs. Wang's illness, he might be pushed out by Mrs. Xuanping Hou and ceremoniously introduced to everyone, thinking about this kind of occasion, Xia Qi's heart was beating like a drum, and his feet were soft.

Xia Qi's apprehension. Xia Jin naturally saw it in his eyes. But in front of Luo Qian, she couldn't speak to appease her, so she had to follow the two of them. Walk towards the gate of the waiting house.

In front of the Houfu, there were several people standing. The leader was a man in brocade in his thirties. When he saw someone coming, he smiled and gave up his hands, and then sent someone to lead the guests in.

Luo Qian whispered to Xia Qi: "This is Cen Lin, the distant nephew of Lord Hou, who is usually in Linjiang City, taking care of this house and some shops and fields. ”

"Oh." Xia Qi responded. Glancing at the man.

At this time, Cen Lin had already seen Luo Qian, and immediately greeted him with a smile on his face. He arched his hand and said, "Young Master Luo, are you here?" My aunt asked about you just now. Come on, hurry up inside please. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Xia Qi and Xia Jin. Asked Luo Qian: "These two are ......?"

"This is Xia Qi Xia Gongzi, this is his sister Miss Xia." Luo Qian introduced. As for the identities of Xia Qi and Xia Jin, he did not specifically mention it. He was convinced that the identity of these two people, Mrs. Xuanping Hou must have told Cen Lin.

Sure enough. As soon as the word "Xia Qi" was mentioned, Cen Lin's face immediately piled up a warm smile, and his voice also raised a little: "It turned out to be Xia Gongzi." My sister's illness is fortunate to have been rejuvenated by your skill. Otherwise, depression accumulates in the heart. A minor illness will become a major illness. Cen Lin would like to thank Mr. Xia on behalf of my sister. ”

Where has Xia Qi experienced such a social? Fortunately, he had seen Xia Zhengqian and people noisy, and he didn't lose his sense of proportion in an emergency. raised his hand and saluted back, with a stiff smile on his face, and said politely: "Where, where is it, Gongzi Cen is polite." ”

Luo Qian saw that Xia Qi was uncomfortable, and without waiting for Cen Lin to speak, he took over and said, "Brother Cen ." There are a lot of guests today, huh? You've worked hard. ”

"It's a lot." Cen Lin's face showed a look of exhaustion, but this exhaustion was fleeting. In the blink of an eye, he was still smiling, "It's rare for my aunt to come back once, so naturally I want to invite everyone to come over and meet." I'm a junior, and I should work harder. ”

Luo Qian said a few more words to him, and then he was led by a subordinate and walked to the house.

Bypassing the shadow of the wall and passing through a courtyard, you will arrive at the Houfu Hall. Luo Qian stopped in front of the hall, waited for the subordinate who led the way to go in to report, and came out to say, "Please", then he straightened his clothes and led the Xia family brothers and sisters in.

At this time, the hall was crowded, and many people were standing on the hall and on both sides, talking lively. Seeing Luo Qian and the Xia family brothers and sisters coming in, these people all stopped talking and looked at them.

With so many female dependents, in full view of everyone, Luo Qian still looked calm. He followed the person directly to the front of the hall unhurriedly, saluted the old lady Xuanping who was sitting at the top, and said, "Luo Qian greets my aunt and grandmother." ”

"Haha, why did Brother Qian come at this time? Your mother has been here for a long time. Mrs. Xuanping said with a smile, and then turned to Mrs. Luo, who was sitting on the left, and said, "I think you were such a big girl back then, and now your son is so old." Alas, we're all old. ”

"We're getting old, but my aunt is still the same as she was back then, and she hasn't changed much." Mrs. Luo laughed.

"Tell nonsense with your eyes open!" Old lady Xuanping glared at her, turned her head and laughed again, and said to Luo Qian, "Good boy, although your cousins are older than you, they are very naughty and not as sensible as you. When they come during the Chinese New Year, I will introduce you to them, and you will teach them a lesson. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Luo answered: "Aunt will be humble. I haven't seen any of your grandchildren, but I've often heard them praised. is a kung fu, and he became a royal guard at a young age; The other also took the martial arts exam. If my brother Qian can have your grandson a little bit capable, I will burn high incense. ”

"You will say nice things to make me happy, but I won't tell you." Old lady Xuanping glanced at her, turned her head, looked at Xia Qi, and beckoned to him, "Come on, little brother, come here." (To be continued)

PS: First of all, I wish you all a happy new year. In 2015, all the best, health and happiness! What to do, what to think~

The second is to apologize. I finished this chapter last night.,It's late at night.,I can't stay up.,I slept without proofreading.,I didn't dare to send it regularly.。 I don't have to go to work this morning, I set an alarm and oversleep. I didn't get up until eight o'clock to correct my mistakes, and I didn't post until now, so I'm sorry everyone.

Third, thank you. Yesterday, with everyone's support, Ling Shui wrote a book for four years, and for the first time, he won the ranking of the monthly ticket for the new book, and it was the second place, thank you very much. What has been said, will be honored. However, the code word was a little hurt two days ago, can you let Lingshui pay off the debt slowly? Today at six o'clock plus a change, but also 270 meters of dividends plus more. Tomorrow there will be another change, and there will be a 300-meter bonus plus more. If everyone has no opinion, then it is such a happy decision.

Fourth, this month, we won't play the game of 30-meter dividends and more. If you're not in good health, it's better to write slowly. If everyone looks at Lingshui, they will vote for a guaranteed monthly ticket and give Lingshui a façade.

Fifth, I wanted to post the names of the relatives who voted for the monthly ticket during this time and open a separate chapter to express my gratitude. But it's too much, and the time to make this list is enough for a chapter of water. Everyone votes for a monthly ticket, doesn't they just want more water? So, let's change the way, the name will not be posted, in order to add more thanks. After the second repays the debt, the third will add a change at six o'clock. Thank you very much.

Sixth, be cheeky and ask for rice to share the bonus ticket~
