Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 310 Cheng Yaojin Can't Sleep
Chang'an Xu Mansion, in the evening, all the girls were tired from the journey, so they rested early.Xu Qing and Xun Fang were discussing matters in the study.Suddenly, there was a sound of slapping the table in the study, it turned out that Xu Qing was angry.I only heard him scolding: "You, you, Xun Fang, Xun Fang, a poor magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes, you run a huge Xu Ji in Chang'an, and it only costs eighty thousand in two years, what do you want me to say? "

Xun Fang pursed his lips and replied: "Brother-in-law, you have wronged me. You also know that the area in Chang'an City is very expensive, and every step of the way, just buy a house here, and you have to spend a lot of it for nothing. Silver. Oh, 8 taels is cash, I don’t know how much the property in Yankang Square is worth.”

Xu Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, he was just joking just now, he said to Xun Fang: "You just said that the court let you be an official?"

Xun Fang pondered for a while and said, "That's right, but I don't want to be a Beijing official."

Xu Qing thought about it, he didn't want to be an official in Beijing, but he still wanted to be an official, so he asked, "Then where do you want to go?"

Xun Fang replied: "I want to go back to Luonan, and the surrounding areas are fine. If not, go to Luoyang."

Xu Qing nodded. At this time, Chang'an was full of undercurrents, so it was really hard to stay longer, so he nodded and said: "I will find a way to do this. I will let you wear official uniforms within this year. However, if you go to work in other places, don't think about it." When the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, he will be greedy and act recklessly."

Xun Fang said solemnly: "Brother-in-law, don't look down on people like this, I want to do things for the people and live forever."

After thinking about it, Xun Fang pulled Xu Qing back and asked, "Brother-in-law, why, uh, why did my brother-in-law marry so many..."

Facing his brother-in-law's "questioning", Xu Qing replied in surprise: "I don't blame me for this. When your sister was pregnant, she forced it onto my bed. She was drunk at the time, so..."

Xun Fang seemed to understand, but still nodded.Xu Qing also took a rest and was speechless all night.

Early the next morning, there was a hammering sound outside the door, and someone shouted: "Uncle Xu, Uncle Xu, help!"

Xu Qing was eating breakfast at this time, when he heard this voice, he naturally knew that Cheng Chumo had come, and yesterday he gave him two jars of wine and a catty of tea leaves, which should be able to cure Cheng Yaojin's drowsiness, why Cheng Chumo is still calling for help.

Cheng Chumo must have been here several times. The old man at the gate recognized him and let him in. He was dressed in pajamas and his face was bruised and swollen. A drunk who was beaten by the brothel for not paying him.

When Cheng Chumo saw Xu Qing, he knelt down and said, "Uncle Xu, you have to save me."

Xu Qing asked: "What's the matter, your father beat you again?"

Cheng Chumo shook his head and said, "No, I fell it myself."

"What, what's going on?"

Cheng Chumo wiped away his bitter tears and said, "Oh, yesterday I gave my father the tea leaves my uncle gave me, saying that it would refresh me. My father was so happy that he brewed the tea leaves. After drinking it, I stopped drowsiness. , But he, but he couldn't sleep at night! He still didn't feel sleepy at midnight, so he went back to his room and took three axes, and started playing in the yard."

"I didn't play enough, so my father went to the houses along Zhuque Street to make trouble. The father-in-law on Zhuque Street was woken up by my father, but they still couldn't fall asleep. When they got home, they even blamed me. Chased me out with the three-axe, did I panic and escaped by jumping into the well. The well dried up, otherwise I would have to freeze to death, "

After hearing this, Xu Qing had no choice but to smile wryly, and stood outside in pajamas for a whole night, and you are not frozen to death, you are strong enough.These two father and son are really crazier than the other.However, Xu Qing was surprised. Although this tea is refreshing, can it make you sleepless all night?

So Xu Qing asked:

"When did Mr. Cheng drink tea?"

"night,"

"Well, brother Cheng, how much did he drink?"

"All, all soaked..."

"It's all brewed, brother Cheng drank a catty of tea?"

"Drink it all. My father said it was very bitter, but he also said that good medicine is good for the disease. He even ate the tea leaves!"

Xu Qing has dark lines on his face. He drank a catty of tea at a time, and even drank the tea together. No wonder you can't sleep.

"Can't you drink it?"

"Of course you can't drink it. Just put a pinch of this tea at a time." Xu Qing shook his head and said, "Since you're here, you must not have breakfast yet. Sit down and eat together."

Cheng Chumo looked at the table and saw that several aunts were there, so he hesitated and said, "Uncle, the aunts are here, so I won't bother you."

Xu Qing smiled and said, "Sit down, our family doesn't have that rule,"

Xun Xueer also said: "Nephew, well, just sit down and eat."

"Thank you aunt, thank you uncle."

But when Cheng Chumo sat down, Xu Qing regretted it, this guy is so delicious!On weekdays, Xu Qing's family always had a lot of breakfast left, but today they almost lost the plate.That's all, Xu Qing and the others were already seven or eight percent full, so it doesn't matter if they don't eat.But Cheng Chumo saw that there was no food on Table Mountain, so he smiled and went to the kitchen with the plates. The kitchen was upside down for a while, and seeing the servants still eating, he squeezed past again.

When it was over, Cheng Chumo said directly that the food at Xu Qing's house was delicious, and he would come to eat it often in the future.Xu Qing said, don't, I will move out another day, and I will never tell you where I am.

Yesterday, Du Ruhui told Xu Qing to be clean and not to hang out with others, so Xu Qing thought, to find a quiet house close to the palace, or else, just go to find a house outside the city and take Xun Xue They settled there, away from right and wrong.

It will take a few days for the follow-up convoy to arrive, and Xu Qing is not in a hurry to take up the post, thinking that it will not be too late to go when the next big court comes.These few days now, I can spend some time with my daughters. In such a big city of Chang'an, my daughters haven't visited well yet.Especially Luo Xiuxiu and Huang Shimei, who came from afar, have never seen Chang'an City.

Xu Qing proposed to go to the West Market for a stroll. Xun Xueer said she would not go there if she wanted to take the children. Xiaoyue said that the weather was too cold and she felt a little uncomfortable, so she stayed at home to help Xun Xueer take care of the children.Only Huang Shimei and Luo Xiuxiu were willing to go, and Xu Qing went to Chang'an West Market with Niu Grass and Yang Cheng.

It's just strange when Xiaoyue became unwell.

Someone was responsible for cleaning the streets in Chang'an City, and there was no possibility of snow accumulation. Xu Qing put the carriage in Yankang Square, and led Luo Xiuxiu and Huang Shimei to the West Market.Now that the new year has just arrived and the snow is heavy again, Xu Qing thought that there should not be many people in the West Market.But when I went to West Market, I realized that there was a lot of traffic and people.Huang Shimei reminded Xu Qing that today is the Lantern Festival, and it will start tomorrow.

I only saw people coming and going on the street, everyone breathed out hot air, and the above people's heads seemed to be covered by clouds.Xu Qing held the hands of the two daughters tightly, and took them to see the stalls and storefronts one by one.
