Chapter 53: The Joy of Housewarming
Song Yu also made a small bet, and sighed when he saw that he had won the bet, and he didn't know where this kid's hostility came from and why it was so big!
"I saved you twice, I don't know if it's grateful, what's the matter with always thinking about running away?" As he spoke, Song Yu used the table to block his view, took out the rope directly from his backpack, and tied Xiao Qi firmly and strongly.
Since most of his weapons and items were unusable due to level restrictions, his backpack was filled with all kinds of bits and pieces. From eating and drinking to all kinds of items that he felt would work.
Seeing that the child had been tied up and would no longer cause any trouble to the adults in his family, Ah Han exited Song Yu's room and closed the door for Song Yu.
Song Yu then had the energy to take a good look at the child in front of him, he didn't look more than ten years old, not very thin, and he was still stronger than ordinary children living on the streets. After washing, it looks quite delicate, but there is a scar on the cheek, and it is estimated that it has not been dealt with well at the time, and it looks a little hideous.
He looked at it for a while and then sat back at the table, looking at the table full of delicacies, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, he could only see that he couldn't eat it, this is also self-torture, right?
Song Yu picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched the dishes one by one, and put them back again. As soon as he tossed the food, the smell of the food in the room became a little stronger, and he heard the sound of the child swallowing.
Some people can see that they can't eat like themselves, and Song Yu's mood is visibly better. He deliberately picked up a piece of braised pork and squatted in front of Xiao Qi, and shook it in front of him temptingly: "Do you want to eat it?" β
Xiao Qi gave his own answer with action, and directly threw himself forward and opened his mouth to bite the piece of meat. Fortunately, Song Yu quickly avoided it, and at the same time retreated to a safe distance.
He saw it just now, this kid's teeth are quite good, if he bites it solidly, he can't bite off a piece of meat?
"Tell me what's your name?" Song Yu threw the braised pork back on the plate and sat on the stool with his legs crossed.
Xiao Qi turned his head stiffly and refused to say a word.
Song Yu sighed: "That's it, you tell me why there are strange ghosts chasing you, you can eat the dishes on this table." β
Xiao Qi endured and endured, but he still couldn't help swallowing his saliva, but he still straightened his neck and said, "How do I know why those ghost things are chasing me!" β
"Do you really not know?" Song Yu glanced at Xiao Qi, this kid really has a lot of eyes, but this is all left over from his play. "Since you don't know, then what are you hiding from me?"
Xiao Qi was still stubborn: "Who knows who you are?" Will you catch children and do strange things? β
Strange things? What kind of weird adjective is this, Song Yu couldn't cry or laugh for a moment, but he pretended to be fierce on his face: "Yes, I'm not a good person, if you don't answer well, I'll take you to feed the strange ghosts." β
Who knew that Xiao Qi rolled his eyes when he heard this, and was still muttering in a low voice: "Who are you scaring about, if you have the ability, you will send it." β
This kid really doesn't get in the oil and salt, Song Yu was helpless, he just wanted to ask something more when he heard a knock on the door, and Xu Zhou's voice came from outside: "My lord, the state lord sent someone to the mansion and sent a congratulatory gift." β
"Oh? Serve tea to someone first, and I'll come. Song Yu's eyes lit up, he had long been curious about what the situation was with the state lord here. He followed the sect to leave this place last week, and he didn't see the state lord appear. This time, Zhou Qinian also said that the state lord was in retreat, and he would actually come to give a ceremony.
As soon as Song Yu wanted to get up, he remembered that there was a child in the house, and ordered, "And call Yun Lang over." He said and looked at Xiao Qi, but found that the other party looked a little stunned.
I looked pretty shrewd just now, why did I suddenly stay stunned?
Song Yu thought about it, the only change in the meantime was the mention of the state lord, could it be that this kid has nothing to do with the state lord?
How is it possible, one is the owner of the state capital in high up, and the other is a little beggar begging on the street.
Song Yu was skeptical, but today was indeed not a good time to investigate. Seeing Yun Lang running in with a puffed face, he was eating happily in the back kitchen, and he didn't want to leave at all.
Yun Lang felt that he was a person who wanted to become an immortal cultivator, and he did not have any reverence for Song Yu, a person who was dressed in an official skin. But he currently eats and lives in other people's homes, and he is also a subordinate of other people's people when he worships at present, and he will not do any less work than he should do.
He Yunlang is a very principled immortal cultivator!
"What's the matter with me?" Yun Lang pushed the door in, and as soon as he came in, he saw Xiao Qi who was tied up tightly, and he was immediately startled: "How do you wear my clothes!" β
There was only one child in the whole house, Yun Lang, so after Ah Han got the order to take Xiao Qi down to wash it, he naturally changed Yun Lang's clothes.
After he finished asking, his gaze crossed Song Yu and looked at a large table of dishes behind him: "So many dishes!" β
It can be said that Yunlang's focus is very biased from beginning to end.
Song Yu couldn't cry or laugh: "Don't care who it is, your task now is to watch him and don't let people run away, you can handle the dishes casually, you can eat them yourself or give them to others." β
He thought about it, although he didn't ask anything, but these two children were the same age, maybe he could ask more? "Inquire about this child again, what is his name?"
What kind of task is this? Yun Lang's eyes lit up when he heard that the dishes were eaten casually, just asking for a name, what could be the difficulty? Immediately patted his little chest: "Wrap it around me." β
Song Yu nodded, got up and left the room. The remaining two small ones looked at each other inside the house.
"Hey, what's your name?" Yun Lang ran to Xiao Qi and squatted down, stretched out his hand and poked the other party's forehead.
Xiao Qi turned his head and didn't look at him at all.
Yun Lang originally thought that he was just asking a random question, but Xiao Qi's attitude stimulated his interest, and he said with gusting hands: "I still don't believe that I can't ask!" β
Xiao Qi trembled, and had the illusion of being targeted by a monster again.
It's worth it.
"Let's do it. I just don't want to mess with too many people. Now that the matter is settled, there is no need to do so much. β
Du Anchen didn't talk nonsense, and pointed the giant sword at the sky with one hand. The sword qi cut off a strand of Seventh Brother's dirty hair and the sky.
At this time, Song Yu had slipped into the main hall of hospitality, a middle-aged man with a beard was sitting there drinking tea, and behind him stood two burly men with full muscles, obviously the guards he brought.
Seeing Song Yu coming, the middle-aged man put down the teapot, got up and bowed his hand and said, "In Xia Liao Changzhi, Yongxi Prefecture is serving, and I came to congratulate Lord Song on the housewarming on the order of the deputy governor." β
The other party's courtesy was thorough, and his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, but the title he mentioned made Song Yu stunned for a moment. It's just that...... Lieutenant Governor?
Song Yu was puzzled, but he thanked him quietly, and when the other party proposed to leave, he sincerely invited the other party to the dinner.
Liao Changzhi postponed two sentences and responded. This is also natural, although there is an element of waiting for him to arrive as a master, but if you really don't want to stay, you may leave after giving the gift at the beginning. After all, he is only serving, and in this world he serves the equivalent of a state clerk, similar to the secretary general of a governor.
After giving a gift to the host's family, even if you leave directly without entering the door, others can't find fault.
Since he stayed, it meant that he was interested in him, Lord Song, and it just so happened that he was ...... He was also very interested in the affairs of the state mansion.
The two hit it off and can be said to have a good conversation. It's a pity that this Liao Changzhi is obviously an old fox, and he doesn't leak a drop of speech. And Song Yu has always been used to playing tricks, answering everything, but he can't answer to the point. The two of them have a clichΓ©, which can be regarded as nonsense literature. Later, Song Yu began to go crazy to the home.
"I'm tired of the deputy state lord, this official is still unmarried, and his family has never urged him, but I am very anxious." Song Yu took the initiative to pour a cup of tea, and his expression was full of true feelings. "Mr. Liao is well-informed, if there is a suitable unmarried woman, can he ......?"
Liao Changzhi looked embarrassed, and he didn't even know how the topic became like this. The deputy state lord had already found out that Song Yu had some relationship with Chen Guogong, and he was ordered to inquire about the specific situation of Song Yu and what his identity was. But...... What he wanted to know was where he came from! It's not that he has ever been engaged!
Liao Changzhi's expression stiffened, and Song Yu said seriously when he was embarrassed: "Actually, I don't pick it, as long as the gender is okay, the personality is gentle and virtuous, don't be too tall and not too short, it's best to be similar to me, it's not impossible to be small, if it's big, you have to consider it comprehensively, and ah, the official doesn't pay attention to what is right, the main thing is to look at the eyes...... By the way, is Mr. Liao married? β
Liao Changzhi was already numb to listening, and subconsciously responded: "I already have a wife and children at home, so I don't have to worry about Lord Song, it's not too early for other guests......"
"It shouldn't have been there yet." How could Song Yu not hear that this person had given up on inquiring about information, and just wanted to end this meaningless greeting as soon as possible. Song Yu didn't want to continue to play Tai Chi, so his tone changed and he suddenly asked, "I don't know how the state master is?" β
"Vice Governor ......" Song Yu's question has been surrounding the vice state lord just now, Liao Changzhi also subconsciously mentioned a sub-word, and then reacted, this time the person Song Yu asked was the state lord. There was a hint of displeasure in his expression, but he quickly hid it: "The state lord is dedicated to cultivating the Tao, and he has already achieved a small success, and it is difficult for me to see it on weekdays, so I dare not comment on it." β
This translates to mean that the state lord is usually not there, and he does not know or understand the other party. But he is a minister in Yongxi Prefecture, and he doesn't know his boss? Does that make sense? It's probably true that you don't dare to comment.
Song Yu smiled on his face, but he was thinking in his heart that when this wave of busyness was over, he would go to the governor's mansion to visit and see if he could find out some news.
The two of them inquired for a long time, but in the end there was no result, and soon turned into a big star, and they poured several cups of light tea. Song Yu pondered that if he poured two more lamps, he could use Gong as an excuse to temporarily leave and leave.
At this time, a family member came in and reported: "My lord, there is a gentleman surnamed Xie outside who wants to see you, but the other party has no ......."
