The world is heavy and late

Chapter 306 Drunk
Xia Qing watched Mu Tingnan walking unsteadily on the street, and Huai An who was beside him followed behind without any support.

The two masters and apprentices took a look here and asked a question there, as if they really just came here to visit the mountains and rivers, and now they are going to bring some earthen instruments back.

For some reason, Xia Qing looked at the backs of the two of them, smiled unconsciously, turned around and went back to do some sweeping. The jade hairpins he liked were wrapped up, and Xia Qing's full purse shrank in an instant.

While waiting for the shopkeeper to offer Xia Qing with both hands, Xia Qing swept his eyes and saw a crescent-shaped walking swing in the farthest corner, with a silver full moon falling below it, perhaps a unique pattern in Xuzhou , Xia Qing had never seen it anyway.

Xia Qing thought for a while and said, "Wrap that up for me too."

The shopkeeper laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, he repeatedly ordered the waiter to put it on for his wife, and even gave Xia Qing a bracelet when he finally left.

Xia Qing held his purse, which had been deflated a lot, and looked at the current sun, and returned to the governor's mansion without hesitation.

Oh, it's a good idea to bring special products back, why buy so many things.

Xia Qing is quite talented in consoling himself.

I thought that Xia Qing and the others made a hasty decision, and Xu Zhong still had some paperwork to hand over. Many people have come.

Many of them looked like servants, coming and going in a hurry, carrying plates and baskets, and hugging wine jars, so lively.

Xia Qing was a little dazed, and quietly returned to his yard while avoiding the bustling crowd.

Seeing that Xu Zhong was writing something on the desk, Xia Qing didn't shy away from it, and walked in directly: "My eyes have been opened, what's going on outside? I didn't know there are so many people in the Governor's Mansion."

Xu Zhong sighed, but he didn't stop writing. He continued to write vigorously after dipping in the ink, while replying Xia Qing's words: "Master Shen said that he wants to practice it for us, so he transferred people from Shen's residence."

Xia Qing twitched the corners of her mouth: "I'm really busy, so I can ask you to learn more about the situation in such a short time?"

After speaking, Xia Qing looked at Xu Zhong's vigorous writing and said, "Could it be that you wrote it for Shen Changfeng?"

Xu Zhong didn't answer, obviously acquiescing.

Xia Qing's forehead twitched, and he leaned over and asked, "You and Mr. Shen have such a good relationship, why are you seeing you off in such a hurry?"

"It can be regarded as a reward for the soldiers. They have worked hard during this time. It is not a happy thing to be scolded all day for guarding the city gate."

As he spoke, Xu Zhong raised his head, put his pen aside, and tidied up the paperwork on the table. Xia Qing also helped.

Xu Zhong continued: "Anyway, the seal will be lifted tomorrow, Master Shen simply issued an order today, and the soldiers guarding the city gate have already gone back, so it's pretty easy."

Xia Qing nodded dispensably, watched Xu Zhong go to wash his pen, leaned on the table and said, "Then let's go and pack our luggage now, or we won't be refreshed when we come back at night."

Xu Zhong turned his eyes sideways, and Xia Qing raised his eyebrows and said, "I have nothing to do, but I heard that there was a man who drank twice under Mr. Shen's hands, and he was so drunk that he passed out."

Xu Zhong's movements stopped for a moment, and then continued steadily: "Master Song said?"

Xia Qing shook her head from side to side, looking very dissatisfied: "I think you should go and eat something now. I am afraid that there is no one who does not want to respect you tonight, Mr. Guo Shilang, the county magistrate, and even the small officials." .”

Xu Zhong hung the washed brushes on the brush washer to dry, Zhuntou said expressionlessly, "Master Shen also invited you to attend tonight."

Xia Qing turned her head in surprise, except for Xia Qing's own sitting in the manor, she had never drank with other men on any occasion.

It's not that Xia Qing cares, it's because of many other things.

She pouted and said: "I won't go, you guys, why should I go with you? And there is Guo Shilang, you don't want to scare him half to death after recovering from a serious illness, do you?"

Xu Zhong glanced at Xia Qing twice, finally nodded and said, "I'll be back early."

Xu Zhong, who said he would come back earlier, didn't come back earlier at all. After Xia Qing packed up his things, he wanted to lie down and rest for a while, but he thought of what Song Qi had told her before.

She yawned and stood up again, so she rubbed her face and walked out.

Before reaching the lobby, Xia Qing felt that her ears were going to be deaf. The sound of cicadas chirping in summer, why didn't she feel that the sound was so powerful before?
What's heartbreaking, is it that the things they eat all day are used by them like this.

Going a little closer, the lobby was full of people, laughing, buzzing, punching and toasting, and there were some booing sounds in the middle.

A drunken voice was very loud, obviously it was Guo Shilang's voice.

"Come on, Mr. Xu, let's have another drink. I, Guo Cheng'an, seldom convince others. You, Xu Zhong, are one of them."

It was a little far away, Xia Qing didn't hear what Xu Zhong replied, but soon Guo Cheng'an's voice came to mind again, and said: "You, you, oh, forget it, you just say whether to drink or not, you Are you looking down on me?"

"Let me tell you, I didn't even think of my mother's self. I came to save the suffering. It's good to come. Don't talk, don't talk, just drink."

There was no sound for a while, probably because he was drinking, and suddenly there was a sound of breaking a bowl, accompanied by Guo Shilang's long sigh.

"Facing Jiangdong's elders without face"

Xia Qing couldn't hold back a little smile, this hurdle for Guo Shilang was too much to pass in his life.

The voices in the lobby were very lively, Xia Qing looked into the small pavilion next to him, and found that Cheng Dalang was also drinking with a few soldiers with a blushing face.

Tonight, the general made a special order that there is no ban on alcohol, which is usually against military discipline, so after hearing this special order, few people could stand still.

It's just a few big, big, and thick guys in the kitchen. After the banquet, they handed over the kitchen to the children of the Shen family, and went to squat in a corner to drink by themselves.

Cheng Dalang opened his eyes in a daze, as if he saw a familiar person, he shook his head, became top-heavy all of a sudden, almost lost his footing, and rolled to the ground.

After a closer look, this is what is called soul flying away, and immediately put down the wine jar in his hand and came here, his mind was more than half awake, but his body couldn't keep up with the movement, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

The soldiers also drank quite a lot, and when they saw Cheng Dalang in such a poor state, they were taken aback, and immediately burst out laughing.

Even Xia Qing couldn't hold back from turning his head. He couldn't bear to look away, and turned to go into the lobby.

What a crime, the legs are not working well after drinking.

No one noticed when Xia Qing walked into the lobby, no, it's not that no one noticed at all, Xu Zhong noticed.
