Early the next morning, Xiao Rui arrived at Wei Zheng's mansion in a carriage.
"Xiao Rui, the imperial censor, made an appointment with Dr. Wei yesterday and will pick him up this morning..."
Before he finished speaking, the concierge exclaimed: "Are you that Xiao Rui? Wow! Miss, miss, that Xiao Rui is here..."
Forgetting to close the door, the concierge rushed into the courtyard shouting.
Xiao Rui touched his nose, what was going on? I just gave you a first name, so you call me Miss? And you said I would come to your door? Why is this style of painting not right? This is the residence of the prime minister. Could it be that Old Wei has a gray industry?
Not long after, a group of people came out of the gate of Wei Mansion, led by a tall, fair-skinned young woman with a bit of heroic spirit.
Xiao Rui was thinking clearly, but he didn't expect the other party to ask first: "Are you Xiao Rui?"
Forehead. . . This attitude doesn't sound like someone picking up a customer, but rather like he's about to take action?
Xiao Rui nodded: "Well, Xiao Rui, it's me..."
He was just about to say that he was one of his own, but he didn't expect that the other party immediately turned his face: "Okay, you are the one who instigated my father to drink. How dare you come to the door? Come on, beat me!"
A group of people filed out from behind and immediately surrounded Xiao Rui, taking action without any explanation.
"Hey, what are you doing? I'm one of my own, don't do anything...my official robe, hey, who is tearing my pants..."
What's going on? Xiao Rui, who had been unbeatable in Chang'an, actually shouted for help?
Is it for Lao Wei's sake?
No, it's because it was a group of women who took action, the female relatives of the Wei family.
The lady directing next to him said angrily: "Take care of him. My father has never drank alcohol in his life, but he was completely hungover last night. His image is completely ruined. How can he go out to meet people in the future?"
"Hey, who is that? Are you Lao Wei's daughter? Are you being unreasonable? I invited Lao Wei to dinner yesterday. No one made him drink. He fought with everyone..." Xiao Rui bowed his head. He ducked and defended himself.
The woman spat: "You sharp-tongued little thief, my father is an honest official and never invites people to have dinner together in private. Don't say anything to spread rumors and smear him! Keep beating him until he admits his mistake."
Admit your mistake? ? ? What the hell was wrong with me? Xiao Rui almost vomited blood. If I don't hit women, you can't bully them like this, right?
Do you really admit your mistake and stop fighting? Hey, tell me earlier!
"I admit my mistake, I admit my mistake, and I will never drink with your father again..."
Are you scared? Xiao Rui, where is your face?
Xiao Rui: "I went out in a hurry today, and I ended up at home. When the hell did you show your face to me? I have no pants, and I won't be able to keep my pants any longer."
At this moment, the old housekeeper ran out: "Stop, stop everyone! You can't fight, don't fight."
"Third uncle, please leave it alone." Miss Wei was still angry.
"Miss, the master is awake and has given special instructions. Mr. Xiao Rui is a guest and must not be neglected."
Miss Wei frowned, thought about her father, gritted her teeth slightly, and waved to stop.
The embarrassed Xiao Rui looked at his official robes that were already in strips, and shouted angrily: "Are you Wei family all bandits? Do you want to beat them when they meet?"
The old housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward to apologize: "Master Xiao, please calm down. It's all a misunderstanding. It's a misunderstanding! The lady didn't mean it. My old slave is here to apologize on her behalf. The master has just woken up from a hangover, please."
Xiao Rui was very speechless. He looked at the cold-faced woman next to him and said angrily: "Are you Old Wei's daughter?"
"My father, Wei Xuancheng, the imperial censor, please be more respectful."
respect? Do you have the nerve to show respect to me? When did I, Xiao Rui, suffer such a loss in Datang? My old man couldn't bear to give him a beating. Today, you, you,,,
"Forget it, a good man doesn't fight with women, and he's too lazy to get along with you. You really don't look like your father."
Miss Wei seemed to be very proud: "My father is so proud. As a woman, I naturally dare not compare with him."
"I'm talking about your appearance. Old Wei is so dark, but you are fair and fair. I even doubt whether it's a kiss...ahem."
Forget it, if you say this in other people's homes, isn't that asking for a beating?
"You..." Miss Wei was choked. Who would have thought that you were talking about your appearance? Did anyone say anything about how the father and daughter look like?
The old housekeeper tried to smooth things over: "Young master has misunderstood. The young lady will follow my wife."
Because he beat the guest like this and knew that he had grievances, the old housekeeper understood Xiao Rui very well. Even if he kept calling him Lao Wei, it was not too much at this moment.
Several people entered the door together, and Miss Wei gave Xiao Rui a fierce look, "My father has never been an official. When he was studying at home, he was a weak scholar with fair skin and a humble gentleman. In these years, he has gone through wars, served as an official in the court, and fought with the army. He has gone through many hardships.
After the world became stable, my father never slacked off. He often went out in private to observe the people's sentiments, no matter the weather, so that his skin was so tanned by the sun that it no longer looked like before.
The ignorant people in the court often make fun of my father for this, but they don't know how hard my father has worked for the country and the people. How many people in the court can do this? How sad. "
Forehead. . . Is that so?
Xiao Rui was surprised. He didn't expect that there was such a rare story behind Wei Heilian. In this way, it is really inappropriate for everyone to make fun of others!
No, what did she just say?
"What kind of ignorant person in the court? Just say it to me. Others call him Wei Xiang, but I call him Wei Hei Lian."
Miss Wei snorted coldly: "You are not the only one. Many people call him Prime Minister Wei in front of his face, and they all tease my father behind his back. However, you are the first one who dares to call him to his face, and you are also the first one who dares to call him that in front of me. .I just beat you, it was not unfair."
Here. . . Are you still reasonable?
Humph, if a good man doesn’t fight with a woman, he can’t defeat you, so why don’t I stop talking?
So, Xiao Rui didn't say a word until he saw Wei Zheng who had just gotten up in his clothes.
"Xiao Rui is here? I'm sorry, I accidentally drank too much yesterday, but I didn't get up today."
"Do I know how much you drank? Yesterday I kept stopping you from drinking, but you said that the fruit wine was not intoxicating, so you clinked glasses with others one by one. What happened in the end? I worked so hard to carry it back to you. I'm afraid you don't even remember it. ." Xiao Rui complained angrily.
Old Wei apologized awkwardly: "Ahem, I'm really too drunk. I really don't remember. But you can't blame me. I usually don't drink. I blame your restaurant for what kind of fruit wine they made. I thought it was the same drink as ordinary fruit wine. Who knows if it’s real alcohol?”
"Huh? Do you still blame me? Are you sure you didn't deliberately take the opportunity to kill me because you knew that my fruit wine cost five taels of silver a pot?"
"Hahaha, but to be honest, the wine you made is so good that I, a person who doesn't understand wine, couldn't hold back and drank two more cups."
Miss Wei next to her understood, and glanced at Xiao Rui awkwardly. She seemed to have made a typo.
"Hi, I was just talking and forgot to introduce you. This is my little girl Yanran, the same age as you. My daughter, this is Yushitai Xiao Rui I mentioned to you not long ago."
