The world is heavy and late

Chapter 257 Exploring
Xu Zhong nodded and said, "Where do you plan to rent a shop?"

Xia Qing replied: "It's near the academy, close to home, there are many people, and the students have money."

A few of those who could go to the academy with this idea were short of money. It was obvious that Xia Qing still liked to make money from rich people.

Xu Zhong said: "I have a shop right there, you can use it."

Xia Qing raised his head and stared at Xu Zhong seriously, Xu Zhong had long been used to Xia Qing's rise or um... weird, and wiped his mouth without changing his expression.

Xia Qing said, "Eunuch, we are husband and wife."

Xu Zhong didn't move at all, Xia Qing continued to stare closely: "Why didn't you hand over the family's money to me? You have to take the initiative to hand over the property."

Xu Zhong sighed, he would always be defeated by Xia Qing's brain circuit, he rubbed his forehead and said, "Everything is on your dressing table."

Xia Qing sighed: "I didn't even find so much money."

Xia Qing happily stood up and ran into the room. Sure enough, she saw a small box on the dressing table. When she opened it, there were some deposit certificates or something. It's a small box, but it's also quite rich when unfolded.

Xu Zhong leaned in front of the door, watching Xia Qing start to read one by one, his eyebrows stretched, and when Xia Qing finished reading one by one, Xu Zhong walked in and said, "Next time, don't eat so many pastries. "

Xia Qing retorted: "I didn't eat it, so I added a piece."

Xu Zhong stared at Xia Qing, and Xia Qing also looked at him with sincere eyes, um, with a little bit of anger when he was misunderstood.

Xu Zhong said lightly: "I can't even eat the rice, it's not because I ate too many pastries."

Xia Qing became even more angry: "I obviously feel sorry for you, so I can't eat it."

"Then why were you able to eat it a few days ago?"

What Xu Zhong said was right, Xia Qing refuted it to the end, and finally did not admit it, but was dragged out by Xu Zhong to digest.

Xia Qing didn't refuse either. It was getting darker and later. The night that was already dark in the past still had some hazy light. Xia Qing just walked around in his small garden holding hands with Xu Zhong, and It's not big, but it's also very interesting to go around.

"Elder-in-law, there are no women as shopkeepers."

It's rare for Xu Zhong to joke: "Not without it."

Xia Qingshun thought of something, she shook Xu Zhong's sleeves and said, "I want to say, what if I get bullied while doing business?"

Xu Zhongdao: "No."

The voice was too low, Xia Qing couldn't hear clearly, so he hummed suspiciously, Xu Zhong turned his head, and could see bright eyes even in the dim moonlight.

"Young lady, do whatever you want."

As the night slowly darkened, Xia Qing saw Xu Zhong's gentle expression, and the two of them were still holding hands tightly, as if they felt each other's heartbeat through the scorching temperature of their palms.

Xia Qing was slowly bewitched and approached little by little. Xu Zhong was like a shrewd hunter who had set up a trap and waited for his prey, only waiting for the usually cunning prey to step forward step by step.

He has never dared to take the initiative, his inferiority complex can be eliminated but how?Simply Xu Zhong is not a saint, he has already started to trap, he has greed, desire and evil roots, he wants what he gets to stay with him forever.

Xia Qing stood on tiptoe, Xu Zhong bowed his head, and whispered in his ear: "Elder-in-law, I want to kiss you."

Ears and temples rubbed together, cheeks flushed, and voice humming, the people in the courtyard were so ashamed that no one dared to go to the garden.

In the small courtyard in March, the spring breeze seems soft and strong.

Xia Qing said that he was going to start, so he started to prepare decisively. He didn't choose a time and didn't do any publicity, so he set it in a few days later. for a long time.

Three words were decided: Xu Qingfang.

The next day, I held someone to change the plaque. It costs money, but it is really beautiful.

But Xia Qing waited for an old acquaintance before opening.

"Xia Qing, this general is here to see you."

Xia Qing looked at Song Qi who appeared at the door of his house, then glanced at Xu Zhong behind Song Qi, Xu Zhong nodded, Xia Qing sighed and said: "You are a great official, you dare to call yourself a general, be careful of General Lu Looking for you."

Song Qi didn't care too much, he was already past the age where he would be afraid of talking big.

This is the kind of person that I was familiar with. He came in to have a look, looked at the vegetables in the corner, moved away a little hurt and said: "Who would grow vegetables in the yard."

Xia Qing rolled his eyes at him, and Xu Zhong slightly hooked the corners of his mouth from behind, but his wife still wanted to defend: "Master Song, this way please."

Song Qi was very afraid of Xu Zhong. Firstly, he felt that Xu Zhong was too powerful. He had seen that among the younger generation, only Xu Zhong could complete all the things the emperor told him without changing his face. Well, there was Xie Hui before.

Secondly, there was no smile on Xu Zhong's face. He felt that Xu Zhong's stern face was exactly like his grandfather's. He really didn't understand why Xia Qing chose Xu Zhong, a... servant.

But after walking together for half a year, there are still some changes in the end. Xu Zhong really doesn't smile very much, but Xu Zhong is more meticulous and patient than others because of his background as a servant.

He said awkwardly: "Xu, Mr. Xu and Xia Qing can call me Song Qi."

Xia Qing sneered unceremoniously, raised eyebrows at her, and was reserved and uneasy when facing Eunuch Xu.

But Xu Zhong still followed Xu Zhong's side to entertain this friend who took the liberty to visit.Song Qi had a lot to say to Xia Qing, but when Song Qi saw Xu Zhong, he felt restless and dared not speak.

Xia Qing glanced at someone with nails on his buttocks and said, "Aren't you on duty today?"

After opening the door, Song Qi started to go to work, eloquently: "I will take a rest tomorrow, and I want to find you when I come back. It is thanks to you that I can go out of the palace, and I brought you some things. I heard that you were fined out." Palace, what are you doing?"

Xia Qing had a half smile but not a smile: "Didn't Chief Guard Song hear about it?"

Song Qi was choked, how could he have never heard of this, but it was too hard to convince, how could Xia Qing, who was so respectful, break into the East Palace privately and beat and kill the servants.

And if this is true, whoever it is, the emperor will kill him, but there has been no movement for so many days, how can people believe it?
And why Xia Qing is out of the palace, why is he still so sensitive to the news in the palace, he has only been promoted not long ago.

Song Qi was not very happy, he yelled: "Brother, don't you care about you? If you really do something wrong, I'll see if I can help you find a solution."

Xia Qing thanked her without emotion, and choked Song Qi half to death. Song Qi turned to Xu Zhong and said, "Master Xu, look at her, look at how ungrateful she is."

Xu Zhong was still a little stunned by the question, he shook his head after reacting and said, "Qilang don't have to worry."

Then he said to Xia Qing: "Qilang cares about you very much, and he said he would come to see you these two days."

The unspoken meaning is that you keep it close.

Xia Qing was actually a little emotional, she didn't expect Song Qihui to come to visit her, he was indeed benevolent, righteous and trustworthy.

"I just figured it out. I like my current life. I think about what to eat every morning. At most, I will think about how to make money when I have no money. I am not a meticulous person. In a place like the palace, I feel depressed every day."

Song Qi nodded sympathetically and said, "I also feel unhappy in the palace."

The two of them sighed, and Xia Qing changed the topic to their journey. She only heard Xu Zhong talk about customs, but she also wanted to hear Song Qi talk about Xu Gonggong.

But who would have expected that when Xia Qing asked Eunuch Xu, Song Qi would talk about County King Xin'an for half an hour.

Xia Qing: ... I hope you know that she is not interested in Prince Xin'an.

But it was interesting to listen to the things they talked about along the way. For example, the emperor pretended to be a passing businessman in order to check a certain village, but he was mistaken for a thug because he was too strong, and he was easily spotted by pretending to be a beggar.

I also heard the story of how the king of Xin'an singled out the fourteen bandits. Song Qi was a bit talented, and he described it vividly. If Xu Zhong hadn't been there at the time, he would have almost believed it. In the end, they still didn’t say anything. Four out of the 14 people were robbed, and the other two stunned youths didn’t know anything but shouted.

Don't ask how Xu Zhong knew, because he tripped one of them with his skill.

The two chatted enthusiastically, and at the end they were reluctant to say goodbye, which was completely different from the first time they met. Xia Qing felt that Song Qitai could tell stories about these fighting scenes, and Song Qi felt that Xia Qing was really suitable for the audience. It's not too cool to be able to immerse yourself in it even if you respond to it.

Xia Qing also invited Song Qi and Mrs. Song Qi to go to the opening tomorrow. Song Qi agreed without hesitation, saying that he would bring the things he bought on the way, and the two were reluctant to part.

Xu Zhong looked at it funny, and when the person left, Xia Qing said to Xu Zhong with a regretful face: "Elder-in-law, your literary talent is so much better than him, why don't you tell stories as well as he does?"

Xu Zhong smiled: "You also know it's a story?"

Xia Qing glanced at Xu Zhong speechlessly and said, "If the Prince of Xin'an can fly more than ten meters into the air, he should stop being a general and go directly to cultivating immortals."
