After returning to the ferry, Su Xiaolou found that He Fei and Zhen Dexiu had already returned, carrying large and small bags of things: "Your teacher is so polite! You gave me so many things before leaving!"
Why bother to raise his head from the pile of baggage and notice that Su Xiaolou is back: "They are all books, and some are about salt affairs. Don't you have a cold? Why are you still going out and wandering around!"
"People who are hungry in the cold have to eat! So I went out to have a meal."
"Brother, it's already Si Shi, and it's not even dinner time yet."
"..."
The boat traveled for another half day and arrived at Zhenjiang Ferry. When it was time for the two to part ways, Su Xiaolou and He Bi Zhendexiu stood facing each other with fists clasped.
"Master He, Xiu'er, don't miss me too much when you arrive in the capital!"
Seeing Su Xiaolou's dirty look, why did he really want to kick him into the river: "Su Xiaoqi, next time we meet, we should call him Mr. Su! Don't worry, I don't miss you. We should meet again soon." ."
The political sense of civil servants is very sensitive, so why should this teacher be afraid that he is also an old fox? If someone farts in the capital, he can smell what he has eaten here.
"Thank you for your good advice, take care."
Zhen Dexiu had already spoiled the title "Xiu'er", but Su Xiaolou found it meaningless: "Take care! Su Xiaoqi!"
He Bi and Zhen Dexiu exchanged carriages and went all the way back to Beijing to resume their duties. Su Xiaolou also hired a carriage, mainly because he had more bags and bags than He Bi and Zhen Dexiu combined. Xiaolou bought souvenirs all the way.
After setting foot on the border of Nanjing, Su Xiaolou smelled the familiar smell in the air, and felt a sense of belonging in his heart. Nanjing was better.
It was already dusk when we arrived at Su's house. Su Xiaolou knocked on the door and came out with money and a broom: "Who is it?" When he came out, he saw that it was his young master. He had been gone for almost half a year. , I am extremely worried about the money.
After getting the money, he left the broom and came to help Su Xiaolou carry things: "Master, you are back. You have grown a lot taller in the past six months. Why don't you wear more clothes when the weather is still so cold? I heard that the master is still here Went to fight with the Franji people, but the old slave was frightened. The swords had no eyes on the battlefield. Master, are you injured? Have you eaten?..."
When Lai Qian saw Su Xiaolou, he was overjoyed at first, and then extremely worried. He asked so many questions that Su Xiaolou couldn't even get a word in.
"Yu Sheng, come out quickly and help the young master carry the things. The young master is back."
Yu Sheng heard the call for money and trotted over. He had gained a lot of weight after not seeing him for half a year. It seemed that during his absence, several people in Su Zhai were living a good life.
"Master, you... you go in and rest... and I'll carry the things."
"Yu Sheng, your stuttering is much better than before." Su Xiaolou entered the inner courtyard, but found that the inner courtyard was deserted. Although Yue Qingyan was deserted and quiet, the small explosive bag couldn't do anything every day, so he asked Qian: "But you didn't see the little explosive bag and Yue Qingyan?"
"The two girls have made an appointment to go to Putuo Temple to offer incense. They will probably be back soon."
In the evening, a few people gathered in the dining room to share a table of dishes, including meat and vegetables. Although minced meat is not allowed to be eaten during the 100 days of national mourning, who knows behind closed doors, not to mention those dignitaries, royal relatives and nobles, who would wrong themselves and still do it? You don't just have to eat what you want behind closed doors. Many rules are set for ordinary people.
Su Xiaolou gave each of the two girls a piece of fish: "I can't celebrate the Chinese New Year properly this year. I'm busy with official duties and am away from home, so I can't spend the Chinese New Year with the two girls. I'm sorry for you!"
"No grievance, this year is the happiest year I have ever lived. Listening to the death knell ringing in various temples in Nanjing makes me happy." I almost forgot that Yue Qingyan is still a rebel. She should wait for this day Been waiting for many years!
This year's lantern festivals and temple fairs should all be cancelled, and gatherings of people for entertainment are not allowed on the streets. Su Xiaolou asked, "How did you celebrate the New Year this year?"
The two ladies said in unison: "Buy! Buy! Buy!" Sure enough, shopping is a woman's nature.
"Sister Qingyan and I bought the Shangyuan Festival from the Spring Festival." This fighting power is really powerful!
The money was brought to the side to refill the wine for everyone: "Young master, you don't know, now the business of our Shengsheng Inn is getting better, I didn't expect that Miss Qingyan is also very good at running the business, accounting and accounting is no problem, Yao Miss Yao is responsible for moving items in the store. After half a year, after excluding daily expenses, she has saved a lot of money!"
This anti-thief is worth saving! Su Xiaolou instantly felt that he had made a profit. Now he no longer needed to hire an accountant, and he had someone to help him take care of his business.
"It turns out that you are living such a good life in Nanjing, but I am the only one who is living outside, living in the open, wandering around, eating one meal and not finishing another. It makes me worry for nothing and buy you so many things all the way back."
Laiqian whispered in Su Xiaolou's ear: "Master, the two ladies also miss you very much! I went to the temple to ask for the peace charm just for you."
Yue Qingyan was able to hide her emotions very well, and Little Dynamite blushed instantly: "Who cares about him anymore, Uncle Qian, don't talk nonsense, I can't even remember that there is this person in my family, no one bullies me, I Don’t be too happy.”
"Miss Qingyan is better!"
I heard Yue Qingyan's cold voice: "I can't even finish reading the account books! I don't have time to think about you!"
"Did you hear that, no one has time to think about you..."
Seeing that the quarrel started again, he quickly came out to smooth things over when he got the money: "Now that the young master is back, it's our New Year's Eve dinner, come and have one!"
…
The second day after returning to Nanjing, Su Xiaolou rode his second-hand white BMW to the Yamen. He hadn't seen his seven henchmen for half a year. When they met, they started chatting all over the world. They also heard that Su Xiaolou won a battle in Guangzhou and was so impressed that Su Xiaolou knew that the scholar was in good shape when he saw the scholar in full swing. When he asked, it turned out that all the wives were married. The disadvantage was that they were married too early. It would have been a great time to catch up with the national mourning. It will take half a year to get married.
Everyone made an appointment to find a place to set up a table for Su Xiaolou to catch the wind and wash away the dust. Before they left the door of the Jinyiwei Yamen, they were stopped by the soldiers around Lei Zhenfu: "Su Xiaoqi, the Zhenfu will invite you to come over." trip."
Su Xiaolou thought for a moment, it should be for Miaoshou Kongkong! Just in time to find Lei Zhenfuzhi to reply: "I accept the order from my humble position!"
"Boss! You have just made a meritorious service, so Commander Lei Zhen can't do anything to you? You still have to be careful." Xiong Er and the others knew that they were still willing to follow him after they had broken up with Commander Lei Zhen. Su Xiaolou was actually a little touched. .
Su Xiaolou walked into the study room of Fu Shi Lei Zhen and felt that Fu Shi Lei Zhen had gone through a lot of changes. He should have been expelled half a year ago. He came back with military exploits half a year later. I wonder if Fu Shi Lei Zhen will. regret.
