Need for Uncle

Chapter 39

Chapter 38 Homecoming

Who made it?Ma Xiaoshuai really didn't know.

"It's nothing. As long as Duan Chengzhi and Teng Yun work hard, it won't be difficult to make something more delicate than this."

Ma Xiaoshuai evaded the important and lightly changed the topic, but he had extremely high expectations for Duan Chengzhi and Teng Yun, saying this was not just perfunctory, among the two, Teng Yun was in charge of forging, and Duan Chengzhi was in charge of perfecting the design. The various conveniences given by the court, even if there is no suggestion of my own, will definitely achieve something in the future.

"Well... that's all, as long as the two of them don't quarrel, I don't have to worry about it." Wei Ting waved his hands and said helplessly.

"Hehe." Ma Xiaoshuai laughed dryly, noncommittal.

Wei Ting didn't seem to want to talk about these two guys. After experiencing the freshness brought by the switchblade at the beginning of the period, he quickly recovered, and thanked Ma Xiaoshuai again after putting it away. He was naturally happy for the good things, and Ma Xiaoshuai didn't want to refute his face, so he just relied on his previous life's little drinking capacity to hold on.

But stubbornness is stubbornness after all, after a while, Ma Xiaoshuai has a big tongue that is a little delirious.

Wei Ting was better, his face didn't turn red even after drinking so much, it's true that he can hold a lot of alcohol.

"Brother, I'm going back to the capital next month."

"Back... back to the capital?" Ma Xiaoshuai regained his senses, opened his slightly cloudy eyes with a puzzled expression on his face.

"That's right, the Twelve Guards in our capital are on duty to defend the Military Supplies Camp. I came here last year, and the deadline is due next month." Wei Ting said with a complex expression, sighing from time to time, not knowing whether it was nostalgia or yearning the capital.

"Oh..." Ma Xiaoshuai nodded his head, blinked his eyes in response, and secretly wrote it down.

"Let's not talk about that, I'm happy with you today, brother, drink..."

"Well, drink..." Ma Xiaoshuai raised his big wrist numbly, raised his head, and drank it all in one gulp.

………………

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the sun is in the afternoon.

Ma Xiaoshuai and Wei Ting went on drinking and chatting for about an hour, and the result was that Ma Xiaoshuai became unconscious and passed out. Wei Ting had no choice but to find some soldiers, and carried Ma Xiaoshuai, who was like a dead pig, back to his big tent. After saying a few words to Wang Cheng who had returned to the big tent earlier, he left.

Wang Cheng didn't say anything, he just looked at the delirious Ma Xiaoshuai, and started busy with his own business again.

But who would have thought that Ma Xiaoshuai would sleep until the morning of the next day, which would be a disaster for the unlucky Wang Cheng. He was a little surprised to see Ma Xiaoshuai lying down when he came back from the deputy director's place last night. But who knows that Ma Xiaoshuai didn't wake up all night, he couldn't help thinking wildly, and even stepped forward a few times to test his breath, trembling all night, and fell asleep in the morning overwhelmed.

So when Ma Xiaoshuai woke up and saw him sleeping with all his clothes on, he was puzzled and suddenly remembered something.

"Brother Wang, wake up, wake up."

"Hmm...why..." The dazed Wang Cheng opened his eyes angrily, and changed his posture impatiently.

Ma Xiaoshuai didn't know that others thought it was because he stayed up all night because he didn't sleep.

"Hey, Brother Wang, we have to go back to Beijing today, right? Don't sleep!"

"Going back to Beijing... What is going back to Beijing..." Wang Cheng murmured dreamily, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He opened his bloodshot eyes and looked at the bright sky, and let out an angry howl, " God, do you want to live!!!”

"........."

Complaints are complaints, exhaustion is exhaustion, but in order to return home before night, Wang Cheng reluctantly left the bed and began to pack his luggage, but he still couldn't help complaining about Ma Xiaoshuai, and even he was a little suspicious Is Ma Xiaoshuai pretending he didn't wake up all night, since he left Wei Ting's big tent yesterday and came back from the deputy director at night, he has already dealt with all the things that should be done for this review.

"It turned out to be like this, hey, it's my fault." Ma Xiaoshuai, who was smirking from the bottom of his heart, had a look of regret.

Wang Cheng, who was skeptical, did not continue on this topic, but packed his things and was ready to go.

Of course, before the two of them left, they needed to visit Mr. Deputy Director in a procedural way, but in the end, he learned from his mouth that this old guy who was known as an alcoholic was so drunk with Mr. Wei last night that he hadn’t woken up until today. So he gave up, and finally Ma Xiaoshuai suggested to go to Wei Ting's place.

Saying goodbye to Wei Ting was a courtesy to Ma Xiaoshuai, but even though Wang Cheng was unwilling, he could only agree.

However, what surprised Ma Xiaoshuai was that this guy, whose physique was a whole circle bigger than Wang Cheng, appeared with a bright red face. After the banquet with Ma Xiaoshuai last night, There is a deputy director, that is to say, he has nothing to do after killing two people.

"Haha, Brother Zhang, are you leaving?" Wei Ting walked over with a smile on his face.

"Yes." Ma Xiaoshuai nodded, and bowed slightly, Wang Cheng naturally did the same.

"Then I'll see you off..."

"No need." Ma Xiaoshuai interrupted: "No need to deliver, we are leaving now."

"Well... that's fine." Wei Ting nodded, and did not continue to be polite, "But I will return to Beijing next month, and then I will come to your house to find you, so you have to buy me a drink. Entertain me."

"Definitely." Ma Xiaoshuai was naturally happy to get closer to this captain with a high status in the military, "When you come, bro, I'll get you some good wine from my collection. I guarantee you've never tasted it before. Also, my wife is going to open a restaurant, so I can let my brother try it."

"Really?" Wei Ting said with surprise on his face: "Then I have to disturb you then?"

"Well, I must bother you." Ma Xiaoshuai said with a smile on his face.

Wei Ting laughed out loud at this modest joke, but he didn't take it seriously at all, "Then you just wait, brother, I'll be here in a month, at the latest one month, see you then."

Ma Xiaoshuai smiled and said, "Then I will take my leave first, brother."

"Take care all the way, don't send it off." Wei Ting nodded and saluted with fists cupped.

Ma Xiaoshuai imitated the painting of a gourd, learned to salute like that, and paired it with the Confucian attire, it was a bit nondescript.

"Farewell."

…………

Farewell to Wei Ting, the two of them left the gate of the camp, and the five soldiers from before also appeared here, holding the reins in their hands, and Ma Xiaoshuai and Ma Xiaoshuai's previous horses, after greeting them, it was the same as when they came, a group of seven people They rode their horses all the way towards Murong City. The difference was that this time, apart from Ma Xiaoshuai, who had a weak system, Wang Cheng, who hadn't slept all night, was worse than death this time.

This time it was still a small path, and soon we reached the winding path where we had to dismount.

Ma Xiaoshuai, who couldn't wait for a long time, jumped off the horse immediately, and Wang Cheng also got off the horse quickly with a bitter face.

The seven of them walked through the difficult part of the road as before.

"Brother Zhang, I heard that my wife is going to open a restaurant?" Wang Cheng, who was still walking together, asked suspiciously at this time.

"Ah? This, yes." Ma Xiaoshuai knew that he had exposed his mouth before, and he could only hope that Wang Cheng would not talk about the partnership in making fruit juice. How, how can you draw a conclusion so early.

"Where will it be opened? I'll also go to support it then."

To Ma Xiaoshuai's surprise, Wang Cheng didn't mention the joint fruit juice business, which made him secretly relieved, "Well, it hasn't opened yet. Now we just need to find a good shop. When it opens, of course we will Brother Wang please go."

"Shop?" Wang Cheng lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "If you can't find the place, brother Zhang can come to me. We have many shops along the street, and some are in good locations. If you have any difficulties, It's also more convenient."

"Okay, if there is no time and place, I will look for Brother Wang, thank you in advance." Ma Xiaoshuai said with a smile.

"No, no, no." Wang Cheng waved his hand and said no.

Talking about walking, this winding path soon came to an end, and Ma Xiaoshuai and the miserable Wang Cheng had to get on the horse again and continue the journey that would have been worse than death. The farthest distance was still the mountains and forests, and there was a burst of miserable howls. At the same time, a decision was made in his heart, even if Tang Xiao passed a bicycle to him in the future to shock the world, he should not ride a horse.

It was already dark when they finally arrived at Murong City, and Ma Xiaoshuai and Wang Cheng were on the verge of collapse.

Since Wang Cheng lived in the north of the city, while Ma Xiaoshuai was in the west of the city, the five soldiers were in the Imperial City garrison camp, completely different paths, so it was time to break up not far from the city gate, but both of them were already exhausted, so Without so many polite words, Ma Xiaoshuai dismounted, handed over the reins to a soldier, and prepared to leave.

"Brother Zhang, wait." Wang Cheng who was sitting on the horse suddenly stopped, as if he had something to say.

"What's wrong?" Ma Xiaoshuai turned around and asked doubtfully.

"It's like this. Every time the secretary of the routine inspection returns to the capital, he will have three days off. I forgot to tell you before that you don't have to go to the military commander for these three days. It just so happens that you also want to find a shop to open a restaurant, right?"

"Really? That's great. I'm worried that I don't have time." Ma Xiaoshuai said happily.

"Yeah, that's the rule."

"Okay, I see, thanks."

"Okay, then I'll take my leave first."

"Walk slowly."

Saying goodbye to Wang Cheng, Ma Xiaoshuai walked slowly with his sore body, but the Xiangguo Mansion was not too far away, and he arrived home soon after walking for a short time, but at the door, he met the servant again Ergou, I think this guy is specially waiting for me.

"Grandpa, you are back."

"En." Ma Xiaoshuai, who had exhausted all his strength, replied weakly, and walked towards the back hall.

"The little one is leaving."

"kindness."

After Ergou retreated, Ma Xiaoshuai walked towards the back hall without stopping for a moment.

Because of his exhaustion, Ma Xiaoshuai kept his head half down when he walked, and he had already reached the back hall before he knew it, so he didn't have Dongfang Xueyu who had been waiting for a long time on the stone bench in the yard looking towards the door.

"Sanggong..." Dongfang Xueyu ran over immediately when she found Ma Xiaoshuai.

Ma Xiaoshuai raised his head and looked at his wife who seemed to have lost her ladylike image as she trotted all the way. The corners of her mouth pulled up a warm arc with great effort. For Dongfang Xueyu, he missed Dongfang Xueyu from the bottom of his heart. Arrow, in order to be able to see Dongfang Xueyu earlier.

"Sister, why did you come back now? I...I'm so worried about you." Dongfang Xueyu took Ma Xiaoshuai's hand, the tears on his face were still wet, but tears overflowed from his big eyes again, making Ma Xiaoshuai feel distressed.

"Xueyu, don't cry, that... Actually Jiugong Mountain is far away, so I came back late." Ma Xiaoshuai said with a guilty face, although this was not his reason, Dongfang Xueyu worried that it was his own fault .

"Well, it's good that you come back, Mr. Xiang, let's go into the house quickly." Dongfang Xueyu took Ma Xiaoshuai, secretly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and laughed through his tears, "Sir, you haven't eaten dinner yet, I'll go and tell the kitchen to make it Order something to eat."

"No need for Xueyu." Ma Xiaoshu pulled Dongfang Xueyu who was about to leave, and said, "I'll rest right away."

"Is Xianggong very tired?" Dongfang Xueyu wrinkled her smile again when she heard this, feeling distressed.

"Of course I'm tired. It takes a whole day to ride a horse." Ma Xiaoshuai said with a wry smile. He really hated the journey.

"Horse riding?...all day?" Dongfang Xueyu was startled and exclaimed, then subconsciously covered her mouth tightly with two pairs of small hands, and tears welled up in her eyes again. I have heard that, not to mention being plagued by side pain since childhood, just this thin and weak physique can't bear this kind of bumps.
