That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 244 Two Three Words Two Pots of Tea
None of the three people in the Huxin Pavilion had the intention of getting up. Seeing this scene, Guo Hanxuan secretly sighed in his heart, and stood respectfully by the side of the lake, not daring to enter the Huxin Pavilion rashly.

There is only a short distance of more than ten feet from the lakeside to the pavilion in the center of the lake, but this distance of more than ten feet is like a natural moat. This is the distance from one world to another. How lucky Xu Beiyou is, relying on the legacy of his elders to get lucky So now Xu Beiyou is sitting in the Huxin Pavilion, while Guo Hanxuan can only stand outside the Huxin Pavilion.

No matter how unsupported a puppet emperor is, as long as he does not abdicate for a day, he is still a king, and no matter how powerful a minister who covers the sky with his hands does not usurp the throne for a day, he is also a minister. This is called status, and it is also a rule.

The word "district" is as important as Mount Tai.

For some unknown reason, Xie Suqing didn't introduce Ye Daoqi's identity to Xu Beiyou, and Xu Beiyou didn't ask about Ye Daoqi's identity. Pretending not to know the reason.

This is how the world is like this. Smiling to wipe away the hatred does not mean that the hatred is really forgotten, but because of the current situation, it is necessary to "forget" the hatred temporarily.

When men sit together and talk about the world, they usually cannot avoid two topics, one is women, and the other is pointing the country, the former is because of sex, the latter is because of power, men naturally yearn for both, and the latter can cover the former, so it boils down to That sentence that countless men have recited countless times, a man cannot be powerless for a day.

The three of Xu Beiyou couldn't escape this pattern, it's just that Xu Beiyou didn't know much about human affairs, and Xie Suqing and Ye Daoqi were noble figures, and they definitely wouldn't be like those vulgar men in the countryside who couldn't separate their three sentences from the things on women. So the three naturally talked about several major events that shook the court at the moment.

The current topics that cannot be avoided are the flood in Jiangbei, the victims, disaster relief, embankment repairs, and a series of court shocks.

Xie Suqing was considered half a figure in the temple, and said slowly: "This time the flood broke the embankment, the officials of Qizhou should have been unable to escape the blame, but Qizhou is the territory of King Qi, and this time it is the King of Qi who presides over it." As for disaster relief, in the end, Qizhou officialdom just sent down a chief envoy, and the rest of the officials who escaped by chance were grateful for King Qi's kindness, so naturally they all had to go to King Qi's family, and those who refused to return, Otherwise, the king of Qi will be held accountable one by one by taking advantage of this flood. Not only will his official status be lost, but his wealth and life will also be in jeopardy. In this way, to say something disrespectful, Qizhou really became the king of Qi Your Highness's Qi Zhou."

Ye Daoqigui is the nephew of the real person in charge, and he has never been shy about the affairs of the court, so he said, "This is the emperor paving the way for the king of Qi. The Lang Zhongwai sent a third-rank envoy, and after returning to Beijing, he can take a step up and become a second-rank servant. Now His Royal Highness Qi Wang has his own small court in Qizhou. Di Jiuchen can then be promoted to Beijing with his master Gao, and at that time, whether he joins the six ministries or the cabinet, he will form his own party, not only will not be restrained by the elders in the court, but will even be able to fight against the court."

After listening to the explanation given by the two of them in a few words, Xu Beiyou finally got a glimpse of the general context of the changes in the court, and he couldn't help feeling suddenly enlightened, and he also had a new understanding of what Qi Wang Xiaobai said to him at the beginning.

When the three of them talked, Xu Beiyou listened more and spoke less. He just regarded himself as a student and benefited a lot from listening to the two teachers chatting.

It has to be said that Xie Suqing and Ye Daoqi are worthy of being the masters of a family, and they never mentioned Zhu Xian, as if they found Xu Beiyou this time to chat and drink tea. Then lightly shifted the topic to other aspects, without even the slightest impetuousness, calm as a majestic mountain.

Even Guo Hanxuan, who was standing by the lake, was extremely calm. He just stood there motionless, showing no hint of impatience.

This made Xu Beiyou couldn't help but sigh in admiration. After all, he was still a little "young", and compared with these "old" people who had accumulated over the years, they were still too far behind in terms of heat.

After drinking a pot of tea, the three of them still didn't talk about any real content. They were always chatting. After Zhang An made the second pot of tea, Xie Suqing and Ye Daoqi started chatting directly. Xu Beiyou listened with a half-knowledge. The two quoted their own scriptures, and after half an hour of "fierce battle", it was Ye Dodge who won in the end.

Although Xie Suqing lost to Ye Daoqi, she was still an invincible talker on the Qushui Liucup.

Finally, when there was only a little residual tea left in the second brewing, Xie Suqing seemed to suddenly remember something, and then she patted her forehead and apologized: "When people get old, they have a bad memory. I forgot to introduce you. This is Wei Guoye. Ye Gongdaoqi, I think you should have heard of it before."

Xu Beiyou also seemed to have suddenly realized, and hurriedly got up and said, "So it's Ye Gong, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Ye Daoqi smiled and said: "I've heard about Xu Xiaoyou's name for a long time, but seeing each other today is really worth seeing once."

"Grand Ye is too modest, Xu is ashamed." Xu Beiyou waved his hands repeatedly.

Ye Daoqi asked: "I haven't asked for the word yet."

Xu Beiyou said: "Because the elder is now in the imperial capital, he hasn't taken the name of the name after reaching the crown. If Ye Gong doesn't mind it, he can call him Beiyou."

"Alright." Ye Daoqi nodded, and said: "How old is Ye Mou, so he asked him to call Beiyou. Ye came here this time, in fact, he has something to do with Beiyou."

coming.

Xu Beiyou understood in his heart that after drinking tea for a long time, the drama finally came.

Xu Beiyou said softly, "Gong Ye please speak clearly."

Ye Daoqi pondered for a moment, then said slowly: "Actually, it's an unfeeling request. I heard that the Immortal Sword and Jade Immortal is now in Beiyou's hands. I wonder if there is such a thing?"

Countless turbulent waves suddenly set off in Xu Beiyou's heart, but his face still managed to remain as calm as water. After a little silence, he said with a smile: "I guess Ye Gong heard the misinformation. After Master passed away, Zhu Xian did fall into Beiyou's hands." , but after Beiyou came to Jiangdu to visit his master, he handed Zhu Xian to his master for safekeeping. After all, it is an important weapon of the sect, so there is no chance of making any mistakes. Why did Ye Gong suddenly ask this?"

Ye Daoqi had an expressionless expression on his face, and said with a faint smile: "It's nothing else, it's just that Ye Mou suddenly had a whim and wanted to see the legendary Jade Immortal's edge, but since it's not in the hands of Xiaoyou, then forget it."

Xu Beiyou let out a groan, and looked at Xie Suqing silently.

Somewhat beyond Xu Beiyou's expectation, Xie Suqing nodded slightly imperceptibly.

With confidence in his heart, Xu Beiyou began to drink tea calmly again.

Ye Dodge caught a glimpse of this scene and was thoughtful.

At this time, the treasure sale in the main hall had already come to fruition, a steward trotted all the way to Guo Hanxuan's side, and whispered the report.

Guo Hanxuan nodded slightly.

Xie Suqing said: "There are some things that Xie shouldn't have said, but since both of you are friends of my Xie, then Xie should say one more thing, no matter how Zhang and Gongsun are now, Mrs. Zhang will always be happy." It's the elders, and the grievances and grievances between her and the head teacher should be resolved by them. Since Mrs. Zhang has taken Zhu Xian back into her hands, we juniors should not interfere too much."

Ye Daoqi lowered his eyes and remained silent.

Xie Suqing turned sideways, looked at Guo Hanxuan who was standing on the bank, and asked, "Master Guo, is the ownership of that "Du Xia Tie" settled?"

Guo Hanxuan bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "Congratulations Mr. Xie, this time you are the highest bidder, do you want the villain to send someone to your house?"

Xie Suqing nodded, turned around again, and pointed out: "Some things can be suppressed by reputation, so that people can retreat without a fight, such as this competition for "Du Xia Tie", but some things But it’s not easy to use the name to suppress it, so as not to be self-defeating.”

Ye Daoqi finally changed color slightly, smiled wryly and said nothing.

The foreshadowing of the two pots of tea was finally finalized in a few words, beating the disrespectful Guo Hanxuan, persuading the disrespectful Ye Daoqi, and finally making Xu Beiyou owe a big favor.

This is the wrist of the Patriarch of the Xie family.
