While waiting for someone, Xu Ling and Sun Baoyao chatted.

Between questions and answers, both of them got to know each other a little.

Xu Ling is generous, behaves in a proper manner, and has his own rules between conversations, so there is no harm in making friends with such people.

Hearing that Xu Ling was doing business abroad and that his father-in-law was serving him, he felt ashamed, so he thought about asking someone to take more care of his father-in-law.

Sun Baoyao couldn't help but applaud, "It's really rare to have such a good relationship between Weng and son-in-law in this world." ”

Xu Ling smiled modestly, and he asked Sun Baoyao if he knew an official named Liu Shun in the Yamen.

Sun Baoyao thought for a while and asked him, "But that Liu Shun who is acting under the hands of the master bookkeeper?" ”

Xu Ling also didn't know that Liu Shun was the son of Zhao Zhen's uncle Liu Ding, and it was also where Liu Wang's confidence in usury was everywhere.

He didn't say anything about the relationship with Liu Shun, but he heard Sun Baoyao mention Liu Ding's tone was not very good, and he was even two points lighter to him.

Hurriedly changed the subject.

As soon as he made a move, he was two taels of silver, although he had to curry favor with the petty officials in order to make the old man's life better, and he would not come out so much.

It's just that Xu Ling has his own ideas, he wants to get in touch with the people in the government, and when the time comes to return the money to Liu Wang's family, if she is still unclear and wants to talk about Liu Shun's identity in the county government, he can also move out to scare them, so as not to let them do anything wrong.

Soon, Gu Litian was brought.

He was working, and suddenly the people in the government called him out by name, and he was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he didn't know what he had done badly.

Since ancient times, the people did not fight with the officials, especially in this kind of imperial feudal society, when the people mentioned the government, it was called a frightened and afraid, for fear of offending the imperial power, and there was no place to shout grievances.

Gu Litian walked up to Sun Baoyao in fright, he didn't dare to raise his head, his eyes didn't dare to look around, how majestic he was in front of Xu Ling, it was a little pitiful to look at it like this.

Xu Ling couldn't bear it, and hurriedly shouted: "Dad, I'm Xu Ling, I'm here to see you." ”

When Gu Litian heard Xu Ling's voice, he looked up at him in disbelief, and instantly forgot about his fear, and suddenly became majestic, glaring angrily: "You bastard boy!" How did you get back? Are you lazy again and don't want to do it? ”

Xu Ling couldn't laugh or cry, Sun Baoyao watched the reaction of the pair of Weng sons-in-law with interest, and curiously guessed what clues were in this.

There's nothing bad about that to know.

Xu Ling was calm, pretending to be afraid, and begged for mercy: "Dad, I was doing business outside and made some money, so I wanted to go home to see how the family was doing. ”

Gu Litian was suspicious, looked Xu Ling up and down, and saw that the clothes he was wearing were neat and clean, and he looked like a dog, which was really a bit like that.

"You're really making money?"

"It's more real than real gold! Dad, can I still lie to you? Xu Ling almost knelt down and swore an oath.

Sun Baoyao laughed, Gu Litian reacted at this time, the two of them are in front of the official master, how can they be so presumptuous!

Gu Litian lowered his head again, and his voice was a little quieter, "Isn't it good for you to stay at home?" What did you come to me for? Have you finished harvesting your crops? ”

The old man is used to work, and he is tired of digging the soil every day, but there is nothing too uncomfortable, and he has to sigh every day before going to bed, thinking about the crops at home.

In case Xu Ling can't come back, these six and a half acres of land will have to feed many people.

Xu Ling answered one by one, Gu Litian responded in a daze, and said a few "good" words in a row.

Seeing that Xu Ling didn't mean to leave, he was in a hurry.

"You've seen it, let's go home quickly!"

He was afraid that the government would not like Xu Ling, and let him stay to dig the river, which would not exhaust this bastard!

There's nothing wrong with him being tired, it's just that he pities his daughter.

Xu Ling ignored the old man's drive, turned his head to look at Sun Baoyao, and showed a simple smile with an honest and upright face: "Lord Sun, the little ones can also make some small money doing business abroad. Today, I would like to invite all of you to go to the Treasure Hall for a light meal, I wonder if it is convenient for adults? ”

Others may be inconvenient, but Sun Baoyao is still very convenient.

He took two well-connected subordinates and agreed to Xu Ling's invitation to go to the best restaurant in the center of Erfang Town.

The last time Xu Ling saw a few rare two-story buildings, Jubaotang was one of them.

The restaurant is located at the intersection of the street, the back street is near the water, the willows on the river bank are still around, and there is not even a fishing boat on the river.

It is the river on this side, flowing through Lianhuawanzi, the water is turbulent, strange things happen frequently, and there is not even a fisherman.

Xu Ling invited a few officials to sit on the upper seat, and he sat with his father-in-law Gu Litian, Gu Litian had never encountered such an occasion in his life, and he was so nervous that he didn't even know how to put his hands and feet along the way.

Xu Ling is free and natural, he was a social animal in his previous life, he had seen a lot of wine tables and dinners, and a few civil servants who were not prepared were estimated to be as difficult to serve as Party A's father in his heart.

Spit and complain, Xu Ling can also understand the psychology of the old man.

After a few words of persuasion, he saw that the old man didn't listen to him at all, so he had to give up.

Sun Baoyao saw it and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, the old man doesn't have to be nervous, we are just eating in the hands of the official, not eating people!" ”

He was no more than thirty years old, had two mustaches, and was a little kind when he laughed.

Gu Litian smiled unnaturally, finally less nervous.

Xu Ling hit the snake with the stick, and hurriedly shouted: "Brother Sun," he personally got up and poured wine for him, and sincerely said that he was worried that his father-in-law would not be able to do it, and he felt ashamed, after all, Gu Litian came for him.

He also talked about how much of a bastard he used to be, but fortunately he was beaten by his father-in-law and repented, and he changed his mind and went out to do business, who knew that he was lucky and made some money.

Xu Ling played the image of a prodigal son looking back vividly, men's feelings are heated up at the wine table, even if it is not a true feeling, but when it is said there, few dead eyes will pierce it.

Xu Ling ordered the best wine and food in the restaurant, and after a few glasses of wine, Sun Baoyao had already called him a brother.

Gu Litian looked at his grateful look, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that this bastard really made him change?

I didn't beat him less before!

It's weird!

Xu Ling drank two glasses of turbid wine and began to brag again, and Sun Baoyao asked him what kind of business he was doing.

Xu Ling naturally wants to blow it bigger, no matter whether there is real material or not, you have to let others think that you have it.

Sure enough, as soon as they heard that Xu Ling would boil sugar paste, Sun Baoyao and the other two officials' eyes lit up.

The sugar business is not ordinary, if you do it properly, maybe Xu Ling will make a fortune!

"Brother Xu is really young and promising, come, brother toast you! If you make a fortune in the future, don't forget a few brothers! ”

Xu Ling laughed, got up and clinked glasses with him, very heroic.

"Gou Fugui, don't forget!"

"Well said! Don't forget! ”

Sun Baoyao was excited, could it be that the opportunity for his promotion came?
