Chapter 70 Going to Xuanfu
Chapter 70 Go to Xuanfu
"Sir Gu, then I'll be in trouble tomorrow." Since she decided to ask him for help, Xie Hong no longer deliberately made things difficult for the other party. After entering Ping'anfang, he got out of the sedan chair and said to Doctor Gu.
"I can't afford to call the adult, so the name I just call it below is." Yu Dai Gu was frightened and trepidated.
"Then Xie will call you Mr. Gu. Mr. Gu, we will go to Dongjiazhuang together tomorrow morning, okay?" After all, the other party is still old. Since the hatred has been resolved, Xie Hong is polite when he speaks.
"Don't worry, sir, I will prepare the medicinal materials when I go back, and I won't let the adults take some thought." Seeing Xie Hong finally changed his name, Doctor Gu burst into tears, which made the young master feel relieved. This catastrophe has passed.
Will my brother be too cruel this time? The contrast between Gu Yudai was too big, and Xie Hong felt a little guilty, but he quickly put aside this little thing. If it weren't for this back-up, today's difficulties would have been really hard. Fortunately, I won't have to compete with these people in the yamen in the future. It's so tiring.
In the future, we must find some easy things to do, and it is best to be a hand-off manager or something. While looking forward to future life, Xie Hong pushed the door and entered his yard.
"Brother Hong, you are back." Qing'er was the first to say hello, but the little girl's eyebrows were slightly frowned, and there was something strange in her expression. Xie Hong was a little surprised. Before she could ask, Ma Wentao and Erniu also came up.
Xie Hong also made the worst plan in advance. If something really happened, Erniu would let Qing'er protect her to Dongjiazhuang, and Ma Wentao would stay.
Originally, this was just because of his habitual caution, but he didn't expect that the backup method would almost be used. His methods were superb, but Xie Hong underestimated Master Lu and others, and did not expect that these people would go crazy and desperate. With the situation at that time, if it weren't for the sudden appearance of Doctor Gu, these people would have supported them with the imperial edict, it would be hard to say.
Xie Hong smiled bitterly when he thought about it. He still had a sense of superiority in modern people, but he lacked the estimation of the ancients. Whether it was Liu Jin's scheming, powerful pressure, or the conspiracy and madness of Master Lu and his men, they were not easily able to deal with it.
Fortunately, so far, I have been lucky enough, and all the rumors in the county have helped a lot.
"Thank you brother."
"Brother Xiao Hong."
Both of them were full of joy, and the rumor spread much faster than the sedan chair Xie Hong was sitting in.
"Brother Xie, what did the imperial edict in the palace say? Did you promote your official position? Could it be that you were the magistrate? Isn't it that you were asked to be the magistrate? Tsk tsk, the magistrate is less than 20 years old, you are so amazing." Before Xie Hong could speak, Ma Wentao threw out a series of questions, and then he praised himself.
"It's considered a promotion. I was granted the position of Jinyiwei Qianhu, but I don't need to be in charge of the false title." Xie Hong was very dissatisfied with this official position.
"Qianhu? What kind of rank is this?"
"Well, it's the fifth grade."
"Fifth grade!" The curious baby was amazed. He was a little clerk, so he naturally didn't understand the difference between civil and military affairs. When he heard that Xie Hong's grade suddenly became the fifth grade, he was sincerely happy. This was a level eight. "Now, no one in Beizhuang County dared to offend you, Brother Xie, in the future. My old horse will also benefit from it, haha."
"This..." Xie Hong hesitated a little. He had only discussed the plan to go to Xuanfu with Erniu. Of course, Erniu had no objection, but he was not sure about Ma Wentao. During his daily contact, he also learned that people in this era still had a strong sense of rural concepts. Even if they were not, they had to leave their hometowns and do something unknown, and anyone should consider it carefully.
Seeing the other party being excited, Xie Hong couldn't bear to disturb him. This elder brother Ma helped him a lot. The Ma family was also very nice to his family, but what he wanted to say now was to leave everything in Beizhuang County and start over from Xuanfu. If he was no longer in Beizhuang, he didn't know if the Gu family and Chen family would find a debt and make him angry with the Ma family.
However, going to Xuanfu to wait for Zhengde was Xie Hong's unchangeable target, and he was a little embarrassed for a moment. Ma Wentao was happy for a while. Seeing Xie Hong's face a little solemn, he also realized something and asked, "Brother Xie, is there anything that is difficult for him?"
"Yes." Xie Hong decided to cut the mess quickly and said directly: "Brother Ma, I want to go to Xuanfu. Are you willing to follow me? Of course, second aunt and the others are together."
"Xuanfu? Brother Xie, are you going to Xuanfu?" Ma Wentao was indeed stunned, but what he said next surprised Xie Hong, "Of course I will follow Brother Xie. As for my mother and the others, I may not be willing, but it doesn't matter. My mother often says good men are determined to be in all directions, and she also says that Brother Xie is a big prospect. I will definitely not be wrong with my old horse following you."
Xie Hong did not expect that Ma Wentao had fallen into blind admiration over the past period of time. He did not question the matter of going to Xuanfu, and responded with his chest. This unconditional trust made Xie Hong feel a little stressed, and at the same time he felt the existence of friendship, and his heart was warm.
"Brother Ma, I have to work hard this time."
"What's the hard work or not? Brother Xie, just give me instructions if you have anything."
"You have to go to Xuanfu. Before we go, we always have to buy a bigger house. Well, let's look at the environment in Xuanfu, whether there are any stores that are not very good in business, or are being sold."
"Shop? Brother Xie, are you going to do business?" Not only Ma Wentao, but even Erniu and Qing'er on the side were very surprised. They were obviously promoted, so why did they suddenly go to do business?
"I want to start a recreation..." He almost let it go again, and Xie Hong wiped his cold sweat secretly, "Well, I just want to open a teahouse, Brother Ma, just ask, there is no hurry to do this." There is no explanation for this matter. It can't be said that he is planning to develop some entertainment projects and then wait for Emperor Zhengde to come to the door, right?
"Teahouse..." Ma Wentao grabbed his scalp for a long time, but he couldn't think of why opening a teahouse was a good deal, but he didn't question it. Let's just listen to the decision made by Brother Xie, what should I do if I understand it so clearly.
"Okay, we're going to open a teahouse." Qing'er and Erniu still supported Xie Hong's decision as always, but looking at their expressions, they didn't look like they knew the purpose of the teahouse. Xie Hong smiled bitterly and shook his head. It's not good, there is not even a person to discuss it. What if he makes a wrong decision? It's not democratic at all.
After making a decision, Xie Hong went to the Ma family with Ma Wentao. He knew his son and his mother, and the same was true. Second Aunt was indeed unwilling to move. However, she was very happy about her son following Xie Hong. As for Xie Hong's concerns, Second Aunt also showed the true nature of a hero in the girls, but she smiled and was completely disdainful of the two families.
"Brother Hong, when you were the ninth-rank chief clerk, they couldn't do anything to you. They suffered such a big loss. You are a fifth-rank official now. Do they still dare to deal with our family? Humph, give them some courage."
Second Aunt was very stubborn, but what she said made sense. In the end, Xie Hong had to nod and agree, so the matter was settled.
When Xie Hong hurriedly went to find her, she found that the little girl was hiding behind the firewood pile, holding a branch in her hand, sweeping around, her face frowned, and she looked full of worries.
"Qing'er, what's wrong? You don't like moving, do you think you're very unhappy?" Xie Hong said softly. Although moving is imperative, he doesn't want to make the little girl unhappy. Looking at Qing'er's pitiful appearance, he felt like he had been cut and it hurts very much.
"Ah...Brother Hong, Qing'er...No..." He was startled by Xie Hong who suddenly appeared. Qing'er jumped up and was seen through his worries. The girl's pretty face turned red with anxiety, but she wanted to explain, but she couldn't speak.
"Do you miss your mother?" Xie Hong was not anxious either. He was originally a patient person, not to mention that he was facing Qing'er, the little angel.
"No..." After being asked repeatedly by him, the little girl thought about it, but still blushed, plucked up the courage, and asked softly: "Brother Hong... Everyone outside said... you are going to marry a princess, right? Will you not want Qing'er then?" Qing'er's voice was very small. If Xie Hong hadn't had good ears, she might not have heard the last two sentences clearly.
It turned out that it was for this. Chen Guanyu really didn't do good things, which made my Qing'er jealous. Xie Hong relieved her. Looking at Qing'er who blushed like an apple, he couldn't help but want to tease the little girl.
"Qing'er doesn't like her brother marrying a princess?"
"Not..." Qing'er hurriedly defended. The little girl remembered that her mother once said that women should keep their morals and should not be jealous, but why was she still weird in her heart? Is this jealousy? The little girl shook her head like a twitch: "Qing'er is not jealous, but she is afraid that Brother Hong will not want Qing'er."
"Don't worry, Qing'er is the little princess of her brother. She will take Qing'er with her wherever she goes." Xie Hong's voice became softer, and the little girl's timid look made him very moved: "Besides, we are going to Xuanfu, not the capital, Qing'er, don't worry."
"Really? Qing'er knew that Brother Hong is the best..." The little girl's eyes lit up, she murmured in a low voice, and her brows gradually loosened. Since rumors spread everywhere and when she heard it, Qing'er was worried, afraid that Brother Hong would really go to the capital to marry the princess, and then don't want to do it anymore. Qing'er was so scared, and now she can finally feel at ease.
"Qing'er, Brother Xiaohong, where are you? I'm hungry, aren't you going to have a meal?" A rough voice broke the warm atmosphere in this small corner. Erniu was shouting that he was hungry.
The redness that had just faded from Qing'er's little face surged up again. The little girl jumped away and ran out hurriedly. The yard of the Xie family was very small. Qing'er was afraid that Erniu's stupid man would turn around directly. Seeing that he was with Brother Hong like this, it would be so embarrassing.
"Brother Erniu, why are you hungry again? Didn't you just have lunch shortly?"
"Brother Xiaohong said that people are iron rice and steel. If you don't eat for a meal, I'm so hungry that I can't help it even if I'm hungry."
"I really can't do anything to you... Brother Erniu, the water in the water tank is gone, go and fetch water."
"Okay, can you eat after picking up the water?"
"Um."
"It must be meat."
"Um."
Listening to the movement outside, Xie Hong couldn't help but smile. This is his family, and it feels so good.
Looking at the two large tanks of water, Erniu was a little stunned. Did Qing'er ask me to change the water? Well, it must be. Brother Xiaohong often said that water should be changed frequently. If you change it, you will have meat to eat. Thinking of this, Erniu picked up the bucket.
