Chapter 50: Xie Fu
It didn't take long for everyone to complete their task and rush back to the house. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
I saw Jin Ruiwan followed by more than a dozen vegetable farmers and butchers, pushing all kinds of vegetables and fresh meat with a cart, Jin Ruiwan told them when purchasing, the new owner of the house wanted to feast on the poor people in the city, so they all enthusiastically helped to send things over, and even a few people called their wives and daughters over to help cook, a group of people into the courtyard scattered, and suddenly the house became lively.
As soon as Jin Ruiwan arranged those enthusiastic people, Sima Mo came back with a few people. He spent money from the calligraphy and painting market in the north of the city to make a huge plaque, the material of sandalwood, six people feel a little difficult to carry, the plaque is engraved with gold water with the word "Xie Fu", majestic.
"Sima Mo, you're exaggerating, this plaque is big enough!" Jin Ruiwan said as he looked behind Sima Mo.
"Hey, such a big house, of course, the plaque should be more atmospheric, otherwise the rich man Xie will have no face?"
The two of them were looking at those people hanging plaques, and suddenly heard the sound of chaotic footsteps coming, and when they looked back, they saw Mu Feng smiling, followed by dozens of ragged people, which surprised the two of them. It turned out that after Mu Feng left, he went straight to Nancheng, he was tall and loud, and he shouted that the owner of Xie Mansion wanted to invite people to eat while walking on the street, and all beggars and poor people could go over to eat and drink for free. The poor people also had smiles on their faces, thinking that the new owner of this mansion was really bold, and they had never seen such a good person in the city for many years.
At this time, Xie Xuan and Nangong Qin also came back, and they bought a lot of firecrackers, followed by a group of dragon and lion dancers.
"Wow, you've done a good job!" Xie Xuan said as he looked at the people who were busy inside and outside the mansion.
When those people learned that Xie Xuan was the new owner of this mansion, they all stepped forward to congratulate them, and Xie Xuan returned the salute one by one very politely. The old housekeeper Wang Tuo stood in the middle of the house, looking at the bustling crowd, he was extremely happy, thinking that he had been in this house for a few months, and he had been deserted, and today he finally had popularity, and this new head of the house really didn't joke, he invited the poor people in the city, and he didn't shy away from hugging them, and he didn't seem to be with the wrong person.
The poor people didn't just come to eat and drink, they went to help when they saw anything they needed help with, the women washed and cooked, the men moved their tables and chairs to the small square in front of the main hall, and the children giggled and played, a scene of joy and harmony.
Xie Xuan stood at the door of the main hall, looked at the scene in front of him and nodded with satisfaction, thinking to himself how good it would be if the poor people in the world could laugh like this. Just thinking about it, Nangong Qin came over with four or five children, and Xie Xuan saw that it was Xiaohong and them.
"Brother Xie Xuan, we heard Brother Sima say that you bought this house, is it true?" Xiaohong asked.
"Of course it's true, you will live here in the future, this is your home!
"Yes, yes, we have a big house to live in!" the children shouted in unison, and ran happily to play.
"Xie Xuan, thank you. Nangong Qin said suddenly.
"Thank me, thank me for what?"
"Haha, I should thank you for the poor people in this Brahma City!"
It was almost noon, and in the roar of firecrackers and gongs and drums, the meal was almost ready, and delicious dishes were served on the table, and the people looked at them and swallowed their mouths, some of which they had never even seen before. For a while, the more than 30 tables in the small square were full of people, and from above, there was a large area of black pressing.
Xie Xuan and the housekeeper Wang Tuo sat at the closest and largest table from the main hall, Xie Xuan got up with a wine glass and wanted to speak, when suddenly three old men with fairy wind bones walked in from outside the gate, he hurriedly put down the wine glass and greeted him, and said in surprise: "Master, Master, Uncle, why are you here?"
"Haha, Xuanyang happened to return to the sect today, and I heard in the city that you bought a house and wanted to feast the people, such a good thing of doing good and accumulating virtue, we also want to come to join in the fun, no, I'm afraid that your wine is not enough to drink, our three veterans specially brought all the good wine on the mountain to help everyone. Xuanji Daoist said with a smile.
The people looked at the three Taoist leaders and learned that they were the head and disciple of the Chongyang faction, so they got up and saluted, the Chongyang faction has made contributions to the people in the city on weekdays, and today they can see the dignity of the head of the sect, they are all excited.
"Master, Master, Uncle, you take your seats first. Grandpa Wang, please bring someone to bring in the wine outside. Xie Xuan greeted.
So when the three Taoist masters of the Chongyang faction were seated, the luncheon officially began, Xie Xuan, as the head of the Xie Mansion, picked up the wine glass and said to everyone: "Thank you for coming to my Xie Mansion today, I Xie Xuan is also from a poor background, I have been a beggar in Fancheng for many years, I deeply understand everyone's difficulties and hardships, I promise here today that if you need any help in the future, just come to the Mansion to seek, if the Xie Mansion can help, I will do my best!"
After speaking, Xie Xuan drank all the wine in the cup. Suddenly, the sound of "good" in the house was endless, and everyone also drank the wine in their glasses.
"In addition, I just bought this mansion, and I need manpower in the house, if someone is willing to stay in the house to get a job, then go to Steward Wang after dinner, and his old man will arrange things for you. “
After Xie Xuan finished speaking, everyone was very happy in their hearts, they were the disadvantaged groups in Fancheng, today not only the head of the Xie family was kind enough to let himself eat and drink, but he could also stay in the Xie Mansion as a housekeeper, whether it was sweeping the floor and cooking, or taking care of the house, in short, they had a stable income, and they were all secretly grateful to Xie Xuan in their hearts.
Next, everyone began to drink and eat meat, and laughter, talking, and the sound of wine glasses clashing one after another.
"Sima Mo, after eating in a while, you help me write a notice and post it outside the door, after all, we still have to go back to the sect, but the safety of everyone in the mansion must be guaranteed, so I said that the Xie Mansion will recruit a nursing director with strong martial arts, so that people with lofty ideals in the rivers and lakes will come to sign up. Xie Xuan said.
Sima Mo answered, saying that he would do it after eating. The three of them who were watching from the side smiled and nodded frequently, thinking that this Xie Xuan was really good at everything.
The banquet lasted until the end of the hour, and after the people who came to help with the cooking helped clean up the small square, they said goodbye to Xie Xuan and left. And those who wanted to stay in Xie Mansion to do things went to the account room to find Steward Wang to sign up, and Sima Mo wrote a notice and posted it outside the door. The three Xuanji Daoists also left the Xie Mansion and returned to the Chongyang faction. Only Xie Xuan and the five of them sat in the small pavilion in the back garden, chatting leisurely.
Wang Tuo was very efficient, and it didn't take long to arrange the work of nearly 100 people, the male was the householder, mainly managing the stables, pruning flowers and plants, chopping wood and carrying water. The woman is a maid, mainly responsible for serving tea and pouring water, and taking care of the owner's food, clothing, housing and transportation. These people all live in a side yard that is connected to the backyard. After the arrangement was made, everyone began to do their own thing, and the Xie Mansion quickly got on the right track, and everything was in order.
Because Xie Xuan's good deeds were spread by word of mouth in Fancheng, coupled with Sima Mo's notice, it didn't take long for many righteous people from the rivers and lakes to sign up to be the director of the nursing home. A family member came to the backyard and explained it to Xie Xuan and the others, so everyone got up and walked to the main hall, ready to test them.
Xie Xuan and the five of them walked to the small square in front of the main hall, only to see that there were already ten people standing there at this time, which was beyond Xie Xuan's expectations, originally he thought that two or three people would be almost enough. Then, he looked at the ten people and said: "Heroes, my Xie Mansion is going to recruit a nursing director today, mainly responsible for protecting the safety of the family members and training the family to practice martial arts, naturally only those who are capable can be competent, so I hope that you will have a try, and the one who wins in the end can stay here." ”
After Xie Xuan finished speaking, the ten people put on a posture and competed with each other. Xie Xuan didn't let them compete one by one like the Chongyang Sect martial arts competition, which was time-consuming and unfair, he only needed to watch the fight of ten people to understand who was strong and who was weak.
I saw that these ten people are all people who have really practiced martial arts, and when they make moves, they all exude a strong or weak light, and between the intersection of weapons, there are already six people who know that their skills are not as good as others, and they have withdrawn, and the remaining four people are all good in strength, and it is difficult to solve for a while.
Xie Xuan and the five of them sat on the side of the square and watched, and after about half a pillar of incense, two more people were eliminated, and the remaining two were evenly matched against each other. I saw that the two of them stopped temporarily after colliding with each other, looking at each other panting, before they consumed internal strength for a long time to fight one person, and at the same time beware of other people's attacks, which made the two people who stood at the end a little tired.
Xie Xuan looked at the two, one of them was about thirty years old, tall and burly, shirtless and ruthless, holding a wide and thick machete in his hand, and many scars on his body. The other is about in his early twenties, a little thin but very strong, with a cold and expressionless face, oblique bangs blocking half of his left eye, and a steel claw on each wrist of both hands, about thirty centimeters long, looking extremely sharp.
Suddenly, the big man shouted, raised the machete and slashed at the young man, only to see that the young man did not move, but raised his hands and put the steel claws in front of him, and looked at the big man coldly.
