Yun Yan said aggrievedly: "Of course not, if the husband is intentional, Yan'er naturally wants to help the husband make peace, but she will be blamed, and there is no way." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info If the husband can be a righteous man and a gentleman, and sit still, of course Yan'er is also happy. ”

Xu Xian pinched her cheek, "I really let you say everything! If I really think about it, will I become a despicable villain." ”

Yun Yan playfully stuck out her tongue, hugged Xu Xian and said, "I didn't say that, my husband is a despicable villain, and I like it too." ”

Looking at her delicate face, Xu Xian was also a little sweet, hugged her waist and said, "Don't worry, I will find out about this as soon as possible!" Then let go of Yun Yan, turned his head and said, "Miss Zhong, you're back!"

"Ah...... I'm back!" Zhong Li stood at the door with a bamboo basket on her shoulder, blushing and not knowing what to do, the scene just now was a little shocking to her. After all, this is not the modern age of advanced information, and she has lived in the valley for many years, where has she seen such a battle.

Yun Yan hurriedly stepped forward to take the bamboo basket, which was full of bamboo shoots and mushrooms that Zhong Li had picked up, but quietly turned around and glanced at Xu Xian, who shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

Xu Xian made a few meals, brought them to the hall, and the three of them ate together.

Xu Xian suddenly asked, "How does it taste?"

Zhong Li nodded hurriedly, "It's delicious, much better than what I made." She didn't have much of an appetite, but a little taste of it whetted her appetite. I was surprised, is he really a big official?

"Then eat more!"

After a while, Xu Xian suddenly stood up and said, "Someone is coming, you guys clean up!" and walked out of the door.

A group of errand officials came from the bamboo forest with a small sedan chair, and before they reached the door, the people in the sedan chair ordered to stop the sedan chair, and a middle-aged man wearing the official uniform of the Qipin County Order came out, and walked forward quickly, "Liu Dongyuan, the lower official, meets Shixian!"

Although he is nominally the same level as Xu Xian, his actual power is far from the same. Xu Xian is the Hanlin favored by the saints, and this time he came by order, of course, he couldn't be more thoughtful about the etiquette, and he slapped Xu Xian on the back.

Xu Xian hurriedly returned the salute, helped the county order up, and said, "Lord Liu has worked hard, let's go in and talk!" Seeing that the mayor of the town was also in the team, he beckoned: "You are also here!"

The three of them came to the hall, Xu Xian and the county magistrate took their seats, and the mayor of the town stood cautiously aside.

Xu Xian saw that he was a lot older, and he couldn't bear it in his heart after all, "You can sit too!"

"Ah, yes!" the mayor hurriedly found a chair and made half an ass.

The county commander was about to speak, but he was suddenly stunned.

Zhong Li came in with three cups of tea and put them on top of the small table.

Xu Xian said: "Miss Zhong, also sit down and listen, if you have any special requirements, you may as well put them forward." Lord Liu, this is Zhong Kui's sister. ”

Zhong Li glanced at Xu Xian gratefully, "Hmm." He hesitated for a moment and stood behind Xu Xian.

The county commander said: I didn't expect this small Shijing Town to hide such a beauty!

He has been an official here for several years, and he has long heard of a great beauty in Shijing Town, but he has never taken it to heart. In a huge county, it is strange that there are no one or two famous beauties in any village or town, but in fact, they are just village girls, and only those who have not seen the world will be touted. But when I saw it now, I knew what a beautiful woman was, and I felt a little sorry in my heart. If you had seen Zhong Li earlier, you would have included her in the room and loved her freely. But now, he glanced at Xu Xian and knew that he probably didn't have a chance.

The county magistrate also decided in his heart that Zhong Li was already in Xu Xian's bag, of course, he didn't dare to think about anything wrong, compared to a woman, or his own future was more important, and his eyes no longer looked at Zhong Li, so as not to make Xu Xian unhappy, he lowered his head and said: "Lord Xu summoned the officials to come, I don't know what to order?"

Xu Xian said: "Your Majesty confessed that Zhong Kui should be buried and a temple should be built to worship." I don't know where to start, so I invited Lord Liu to come, and I want to entrust this matter to you, I don't know what you think?"

The county magistrate patted his chest and assured that there was no problem at all, just leave it to him. But he muttered in his heart, "The scenery of the funeral, the construction of the temple to worship, to put it simply, this is all costly." ”

Xu Xian had already taken out a few silver tickets, put them on the table and said: "This is a silver ticket of five thousand taels, please collect it first, and use it as a fee, if it is not enough, then send someone to find me, but there is only one point, that is, I can't deal with it." ”

"Enough, enough!" The county magistrate suddenly smiled, and suddenly remembered that he was going to hold a funeral, and changed his face to a sad color, "Lord Xu is chivalrous and courageous, righteous and thin, Zhong Kui can rest in peace under Jiuquan." I heard that this holy grace is also the result of Lord Xu's struggle in front of the saint, and even offended Liang Xiangguo's son for this. The saint chose a benevolent young talent like Lord Xu, and he was really wise. ”

Xu Xian touched his nose and said with some embarrassment: "Lord Liu has won the award." ”

"No, these are all the heartfelt words of the lower officials, and there is absolutely no false words. ”

Yun Yan stood behind the door and eavesdropped, muttering, "Sycophant!" Looking at Zhong Li's reaction through the gap, as expected, Zhong Li's eyes were red, and his eyes looking at Xu Xian were not only grateful!

The county magistrate suddenly turned his head to Zhong Li and said, "Miss Zhong, you lost your brother, and the official is also very sorry. But the deceased is gone, and you must mourn. But fortunately, Master Xu is here, you have something to rely on, and the official will be relieved!" That expression was clearly the heartfelt concern of the elders for the juniors, who would have thought that he had a "non-dividing thought" a moment ago.

Yun Yan punched the bamboo wall in annoyance, "Idiot, who wants you to be a matchmaker!" and hurriedly snorted at Xiuquan.

Zhong Li is not a stupid person, hearing this extraneous sound, she bit her lip and raised her head and said: "Zhong Li is not ungrateful, but my brother is still in the mourning period, so I don't dare to think about him." When he comes, he will definitely tie the grass ring and repay the great kindness of Xu Gongzi. ”

Xu Xian's various performances clearly made her feel the chill of the words "grace is like a mountain", she will not fake, and she will say whatever comes to mind. At the same time, she also understands that the only person she can repay is herself.

The county magistrate stroked his beard and said with satisfaction: "It's really rare for you to have such a mind, so as not to damage your brother's reputation." "It seems that Zhong Li is not good at Xu Xian, which is bad Zhong Kui's reputation.

Xu Xian only felt a headache, "Miss Zhong, I don't need you to repay me, you can get up quickly!" If he really had thoughts about Zhong Li, he would probably be very excited about this county order now, and said what he was inconvenient to say. But now he is shooting the ear scrapers of this county order with a bow left and right, what kind of mess are you adding!

The county commander resolutely said: "As for the merchant with evil intentions, this official has also been captured, and he is waiting for his fate in the prison." ”

Xu Xian asked the mayor to ask for the county order, but the mayor was afraid of taking responsibility, so he asked the townspeople to arrest the merchant and go to see the county order, but the merchant could not escape this catastrophe after all.

Of course, Xu Xian didn't care about the life or death of such people, and only said: "Then please ask Lord Liu to deal with it according to the law!"

The two spoke again, and the county magistrate said goodbye and left to prepare for the funeral.

Xu Xian was idle, and sighed that this is the benefit of rights, and if you can't do it yourself, let others do it. Otherwise, if he did it as a common man, even if he had money, it would take a lot of thought.

Zhong Li was still standing behind Xu Xian, and suddenly said: "Young Master Xu, I almost misunderstood you just now, please don't be surprised." ”

Xu Xian hurriedly said: "No strange, no strange." I only felt that her expression had not changed, but there was a sense of determination in her eyes, and that expression reminded Xu Xian of the female warrior who planned to dedicate herself to the noble cause in her eyes.

Zhong Li poured a cup of tea and offered it to Xu Xiandao: "I have a reluctant request, I want to ask you to agree!"

Xu Xian took a sip of tea, thinking it was about the funeral, "Why didn't you say it just now, now the county order has left." Say, what's the requirement?"

"I want to mourn for my brother!"

Xu Xianrao is his current cultivation, and he was also a little choked, let out a string of coughs, and secretly thought: "If you want to hold a funeral for your brother, do you need my approval? And Zhong Kui really doesn't need such high-level treatment as a funeral." ”

Zhong Li hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand and gently patted Xu Xian's back. Fang Cai's Xu Xian is just as a "brother's friend", and Zhong Li is just thinking about treating him well. Now Xu Xian's identity has become the "great benefactor" of the Zhong family, and Zhong Li consciously positions himself as a person who wants to repay his kindness. And it's the kind of gratitude that has no second way to go except for making a promise.

"You may not understand what I said, but Zhong Kui really doesn't need others to mourn, from a certain point of view, he is still alive and well. I helped him build a temple for a big funeral, just to help him accumulate some popularity, so that he could be successfully crowned a god. And there are no rules for my sister to hold a funeral for my brother!"

Zhong Li was even more at a loss, what angle, what popularity, what god, she couldn't understand everything. The only thing that understood was that Xu Xian refused her request.

Zhong Li turned his head away, with a rare look of pity on his face, "Young Master Xu, please." I will do whatever you tell me, and I will go to the capital or any other place according to your arrangement. In a hurry, she blurted out, "Are you in such a hurry?"

Are you in such a hurry?

Are you in such a hurry?

That's you?

...... Xu Xian's expression stiffened, and the voice of this sentence kept echoing in his mind.

He wanted to look up to the sky and roar, "What am I anxious about?" but seeing Zhong Li's stubborn and pitiful expression, he said weakly: "Whatever you want, you will understand when Zhong Kui comes back." Really, I'm not in a hurry at all. ”

"Thank you, don't worry, I will never break my promise, and I will definitely repay you. Zhong Li made a serious guarantee.

Xu Xian had a headache, holding his head and trying to recall that when did the plot become a beast drama like "I forced my deceased friend's sister to repay herself, and my deceased friend's sister made a compromise and promised each other". Could it be that with a sinister smile on his face, it is more in line with his image to go out and give the county a few dozen taels of silver?
