Lin Pingzhi is an honest young man.
The grill was quickly set up, the charcoal stove was set up, and various vegetables and beef and mutton were prepared. Then Song Xuan happily started grilling without asking.
Song Xuan praised, "You are a person who knows how to live a good life, and you will probably be a good husband in the future."
Lin Pingzhi was a little embarrassed by the praise and blushed a little: "Brother Xuan is not an ordinary person at first glance. He should be very popular with girls in the imperial capital, right?"
Song Xuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Young man is very discerning. I'll ask you to listen to music some other time when you are free."
"How can I ask Brother Song to treat me? I must treat him!"
After saying this, he felt something was wrong and found Song Qian and Lin Daiyu looking at them with disgust.
He immediately panicked and hurriedly explained: "Well, that's not what I meant. In fact, I have never been to that place..."
"You care too much about other people's opinions!"
Song Xuan smiled and said: "Although your Lin family is engaged in business, the Escort Agency is different from ordinary merchants. It needs to deal with people from both black and white circles. It is half businessman and half Jianghu.
In your line of work, you can listen to other people's opinions, but you can't believe them all. You can consider other people's opinions, but you can't care too much.
If you care too much about others, you will lose yourself. If your life is always affected by other people's opinions, what's the meaning of life? "
Lin Pingzhi was thoughtful, but finally shook his head, "I don't quite understand."
Song Xuan smiled and said, "To put it simply, just follow your heart when doing things. As for right and wrong, sometimes it is difficult to judge."
"Follow your heart? Do you want to be happy? Do you mean that if anyone messes with me, I will return it?"
"That's right." Song Xuan smiled.
Lin Daiyu spoke out: "Cousin, you said you should follow your heart. This is easy to say, but difficult to do. How can you live without any restraint in life?
Even if it's that day, there will always be things that you want to do but can't do, right? "
"What the emperor can't do doesn't mean my brother can't do it either!"
Song Qian took a bite of the skewers and said vaguely while swallowing: "Let me tell you, cousin, my brother will become the best in the world in the future. When he becomes invincible, he can do whatever he wants, even if he marries a hundred wives, No one dares to say otherwise!"
Song Xuan looked at her angrily and amusedly, "I can't stop your mouth even if I eat. Even if I have a strong waist, I can't marry so many wives."
"Yeah!" Song Qian nodded and said: "One hundred is indeed a bit too much, three or five will be enough, but our Song family has been a single generation for several generations, and the important task of passing on the family depends on you, brother."
Seeing the two brothers and sisters talking and laughing, Lin Pingzhi was a little envious, "Brother Song, you must have a high status in the imperial capital, right? May I ask, what do you do?"
"I work as an errand in the Yamen." Song Xuan said casually after taking a sip of wine.
"People in the government." Lin Pingzhi smiled and said: "My father often said that I should interact more with people in the government, but I didn't expect to get to know you by such a coincidence.
Brother Song, if I encounter trouble in the imperial capital in the future, can I ask you for help? "
"We are all friends, so to say that would be disrespectful."
Song Xuan pointed at Song Qian and said, "If anything happens in the imperial capital in the future, it will definitely come in handy if I call you Sister Qian."
"ah?"
Lin Ping was stunned, "Sister Qian is so powerful, but she also works in the Yamen?"
"Um!"
Song Xuan pulled a piece of mutton leg, took a bite, and said: "Speaking of which, we went to Jiangzhe Mansion to take office this time. We probably won't stay in the Imperial Capital for the next few years.
I'm afraid the Imperial Capital won't be able to help much, but there is still some energy around Jiangsu and Zhejiang. "
Lin Pingzhi said excitedly: "Our Lin family also has many properties in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Prefecture, and it is not far from the headquarters of Fuwei Escort Agency. If Brother Song goes there to take up a post, it will be much more convenient for us to contact you in the future."
"By the way, Brother Song, where is your yamen? When this escort is over, I will go find you to play."
"You probably don't want to go."
Song Qian laughed and said: "Xuanyiwei Yamen, do you dare to go?"
"ah?"
Lin Ping was startled, then smiled coquettishly, and immediately sat upright, having been very relaxed, and looked at Song Xuan with some awe.
"Brother Song, are you a Xuanyi guard?"
"Yes! Are you scared?"
"A little bit." Lin Pingzhi smiled a little reluctantly, "I always thought that Xuan Yiwei was a ferocious-looking person, but I didn't expect him to be such a gentle person like Brother Song."
"Xuan Yiwei is also a human being, not as scary as you think. Relatively speaking, the people we mainly target are those in the world and the officialdom.
For ordinary people, we will not embarrass them. "
"That's it..." Lin Pingzhi said with a smile: "I don't know much about Xuanyiwei. I only know that it is an institution that can stop children from crying. When you hear what you said, Brother Song, it feels better than those Other government agencies are easier to deal with."
Song Xuan waved his hand, "What I say may not be right. Whether it is good or not, you need to make your own judgment. You cannot just believe what others say.
Sometimes what you hear may not be true, and what you see may not be true.
Before you do something, try to think about the causes and consequences. Don't act on impulse and cause big trouble for yourself and your family. "
Lin Pingzhi felt that there was something in Song Xuan's words, as if he was hinting at something.
But he thought about it carefully and recalled that he had not been impulsive and caused trouble during this period, and he had also begun to try to take over the family business and learn to deal with people. He should not have made any mistakes.
At the moment, he just smiled, thinking that Brother Song was working in the yamen because he simply liked to preach, and he was not necessarily implying anything.
Maybe he just thinks too much?
...
Jiangcheng County.
The county guard looked at the corpses placed in the yard, his eyes cold and cold, as if he wanted to choose someone to eat.
His son just went to the county town below to play for a few days. He didn't see him for a few days, but when he came back, he was a corpse.
The white-haired man gave the black-haired man a gift. Even though he held a high position, the pain of losing his son still made him tremble uncomfortably.
"Did you find anything?" Wiping his tears, he turned and asked the catcher behind him.
"Sir, the rain was quite heavy that day and the traces were washed away. Nothing could be found at the scene."
The catcher continued: "This time, the young master and the guards around him were all dead, and even masters like Mr. Zhou died under the sword. The person who committed the crime is definitely a famous master in the world.
Sir, this matter is beyond the scope of our yamen's response. This matter must be reported to Xuan Yiwei for handling! "
The county guard clenched his fists and said angrily: "It's the Jianghu people again! The emperor is too merciful. Those lawless Jianghu people should be killed completely!"
Taking a deep breath, he ordered: "Please record the situation you found out, and I will report it to the Xuanyi Guard Yamen tomorrow."
"Those gangsters, there is nothing I can do about them, someone will take care of them!"
