Upon hearing this, the father and son of the old man in the courtyard quickly covered the pile of things with cloth.
Xu He opened the courtyard door smoothly and saw the man outside the door dressed as a young man. He seemed to have seen him several times before, and he was indeed following Xu Dai.
The young man was quite kind. When he saw Xu He, he smiled and said, "I asked around a lot of people and said I'll try to find you here. Hurry, the second master is looking for you!"
Xu Dai is looking for himself?
Thinking about Xu Dai's attitude towards him that day, Xu He couldn't figure out what could happen to him?
The boy said anxiously: "The second master has a guest, and I want you to go to the county restaurant to keep him company."
Xu He frowned and was about to refuse, but the boy beside him said anxiously: "Brother He, hurry up and follow me. The second master will not be happy if you are late."
At this time, the old commander came to Xu He and whispered: "Hurry over there, it may be a singing and social gathering among you scholars. Don't talk when you go, and come back early!"
Xu He thought for a while and then followed the boy into the bullock cart and drove towards the city.
After going round and round, Xu He almost vomited on the bullock cart. Finally, the bullock cart arrived at the final destination...well, Huibin Building.
As soon as he got off the car, the young man said to Xu He: "Brother He, the second master is in the private room on the third floor. Come up quickly!"
Xu He nodded and entered the lobby.
As soon as he entered the door, Qian Jizu's eyes lit up when he saw Xu He. He quickly rushed forward and pulled Xu He aside and said: "The second master of the Xu family is upstairs. Accompanying him is Hou Jiaoyu from the county. Mr. Qiu’s guest is a chubby middle-aged man. When he came, he was accompanied by a female family member, who was arranged next door!"
Sure, Lao Qian, he runs a restaurant after all, and he has a very good eye for things.
Xu He nodded, and just as he was about to go upstairs, Qian Jizu grabbed him: "Brother He, what about sugar?"
Xu He winked at him, and Qian Jizu immediately turned to look at the guests dining in the hall, then chuckled and said, "We'll talk about it later!"
When Xu He climbed up to the third floor, he discovered that the elegant room where Xu Dai entertained guests was the same place where Gu Hengbo and the others had dinner last time.
This private room can overlook the small lake next to Wanghai Building. The view is extremely wide. It is considered the best private room in Huibin Building.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Xu Dai in the main seat talking to a fat man next to him wearing a round collar robe and a dongpo scarf.
The fat man looked arrogant, as if he didn't take Xu Dai seriously at all.
Next to them sat two people wearing Confucian robes. Xu Dai was talking, and the two of them were laughing and making jokes. The atmosphere was pretty good.
After Xu Dai saw Xu He, he immediately smiled and said to Xu He: "He'er, come and meet your Uncle Feng. Uncle Feng's family is a family friend of our Xu family."
Xu He didn't know why, so he could only go forward to pay homage.
Xu Dai smiled at the fat man again at this time and said: "Brother Feng, this is the Xu He I just told you. In this county examination, Magistrate Li Zhijie named him as the head of the case! The rising star of our Xu family!"
This time, Xu Dai's hot face met his cold butt. The guest surnamed Feng only glanced at Xu He: "It's just a small case, so what if I become a scholar in the future?"
I saw that he looked arrogant and arrogant, and he didn't pay attention to the people in the private room at all.
Xu He really couldn't complain in his heart, "Have I offended you?" Does this make sense? To hurt someone when they first met?
Xu Dai was stunned when he heard this, his face was a bit confused, and he was speechless.
There was an old man with a thin face among the guests nearby. He stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Li County Magistrate was born as a Jinshi in the second rank, and Xiang became famous in the world by his literary name. If Mr. Xu can win his favor, his future future is limitless!"
Everyone here thought that the fat man named Feng would be able to take a good look at Xu He after carrying Magistrate Li.
Unexpectedly, he sneered "haha" and said to Xu Dai: "How about Li Zhijie? What about two Jinshis? I was also a Jinshi twice, how am I worse than him?"
Where is this? No one compares him with Li Zhijie, right?
"Does this fat man like to touch porcelain?"
Xu He could tell from this that the other party was arrogant and very face-saving. He always showed off his status as a Jinshi, but he didn't know why he was so hostile to him when they met.
"Uncle Feng said yes!" Suddenly, a strange voice came from outside the door.
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open, and a slender, handsome young man walked in, swinging a folding fan.
And behind him was a boy, who was the Xu Que he saw when Xu He came home that day.
"It turns out that Xu Luan, Xu Dai's second son, has arrived!" Xu He recognized the visitor.
When Fatty Feng saw the handsome Xu Luan, Feng Shen's face changed, and he said with a smile: "It's Xu Luan, right? The last time I saw you was in Jinling, and you were still being held by your father!"
Xu Luan smiled slightly, turned to look at Xu He, looked up and down and said, "Are you the Xu He who was recently named the county's chief criminal?"
Xu He stood up and held his hands in his hands: "I've seen Fifth Brother!"
The Xu Luan clan is ranked fifth, so Xu He calls him Fifth Brother.
Xu Luan curled his lips but did not agree. Instead, he looked at the man named Feng with a smile.
"Uncle Feng, my nephew is studying at home. I just got the news that my uncle is coming to visit, so I came here to meet him!"
Fatty Feng laughed and seemed to like Xu Luan very much. He waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. I came to Beijing this time just to see you!"
Xu Luan chuckled, folded the folding fan in his hand with a snap and said, "I wonder which sister will he bring with him when he comes to Beijing this time?"
Fatty Feng's smile stopped when he heard this, but he said a little embarrassedly: "I am old and frail, and you, Xiaozhu, don't trust me alone, so you just follow me in the car to serve my old father!"
Hearing the word "Xiao Zhu", Xu Luan sneered at the corner of his mouth: "Haha, Uncle Feng, that's just right. There are many talented young people in the capital. When the time comes, you must find a good husband for sister Xiaozhu!"
"You..." Fatty Feng suddenly showed a look of anger on his face when he heard this.
Xu Dai saw this and quickly interrupted: "Let's not talk about this for now. Brother Feng, you finally came to Hailing. If you have anything to do, wait until my elder brother comes back in the evening!"
Fatty Feng was about to get angry, but when he heard Xu Song's name, he immediately calmed down and remained silent.
Xu He called in, and after saying hello, he stayed aside and watched his nose and heart, ignoring the matter as it didn't concern him.
But the tree was about to be quiet but the wind was not stopping. Xu Luan on the side pointed at Xu He and said: "By the way, I forgot. I just asked Uncle Feng to go to Beijing to find a husband for sister Xiaozhu. Why bother? I'm like this My clan brother has just been named as the head of the county’s case, and he is highly valued by the county magistrate!”
"Uncle Feng, why don't you give Xiaozhu to me, the brother of the clan head of the case? They are both commoners and from a small clan, so we can make a good couple!"
"How dare you! You dare to humiliate me?" Fatty Feng slapped the Eight Immortals table angrily and glared at Xu Luan!
But Xu Luan waved his fan indifferently.
At this time, Xu Dai looked ashen and didn't know what he was thinking.
The two escorts were so embarrassed that they wanted to dig into the ground and sneak out.
Xu He was the only one in the field who was confused.
What about the ordinary literati who agreed to sing the harmony? Did you agree to keep a low profile and not say anything?
How come? Is there any other story in this that I don’t know about?
At this moment, Qian Jizu personally brought people up with wine and food.
"Second Master, distinguished guests, the shop did not provide good hospitality and the food was served late. I will give you a jar of home-brewed Hailingchun later!" Qian Jizu saw the tense situation in the private room, and immediately used the businessman's method of making money with kindness!
