Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhao Xingqing is a staff member of Xie Cheng'an, the propaganda envoy of Jinyang City. He has a short body, but he has a fat face, which makes him look like a doll. Three locks of beard grow on his chest, and he strokes it from time to time.  This is his habit, even though he looks ugly, he is actually Xie Chengan's think tank. He is cunning, but he can't be called insidious.  Everything is arranged by Zhao Xingqing, who can be regarded as one of Xie Chengan's right-hand men.

    Before Pei Yuanying entered Jinyang City, he had sent a letter to Xie's family. The letter said that his lost daughter was at the Chu family in Lingxi Town. Xie Cheng'an immediately sent Zhao Xingqing to Lingxi Town to negotiate with the Chu family. He had been dealing with officials all year round.  The old Zhao Xingqing naturally felt that this was just a trivial matter, and he would definitely be able to catch it when he went there in person. Before leaving, Xie Chengan also specifically told him to be careful in everything, and it was best to invite the lady back once.

    After seven days of repairing bridges and repairing roads, the bridge from Jinyang City to Lingxi Town was opened, and Zhao Xingqing left for Lingxi Town. Before coming to Lingxi Town, Zhao Xingqing was full of confidence.  I've heard some of them, and they are well-known families anyway, so I can't be unreasonable, right?  The only thing that is unreasonable is that my lady, in the past, my beard usually did not grow more than three inches, it was all because of Xie Wenyu's playful, often pulling her beard, the lady left Jinyang City in the past few months.  It can be regarded as being clean for a few days, and the beard that was intentionally saved has also grown longer. If I really want to invite the lady back this time, I am afraid that my beard will be implicated again.

    In this way, he entered Lingxi Town with the idea that he wanted Xie Wenyu back, but he didn't want Xie Wenyu to come back because of his newly grown beard. As soon as he entered the city gate, he was suffocated by a stench and almost fell off his horse.  , there were refugees everywhere, and he didn't know how long he hadn't taken a shower. He held his nose and walked towards Chu's house. The more he walked, the more refugees there were.  Passing by the horse, he hastily urged the horse under his crotch to walk a few steps, came near the Chu family, saw the rice porridge with loess in the twenty cauldrons, he sneered, and said in his heart: "The Chu family is nothing more than that,  The food supplied to the refugees is all old food, it seems that I have a high opinion of the Chu family."

    When they arrived in front of the Chu family's gate, the people around were all curiously looking at this five-short figure in Chinese clothes, the sudden appearance of such a person really makes people feel happy, this appearance does not go to the street to play tricks  It's a pity to be a busker.

    However, Zhao Xingqing didn't pay attention to other people's eyes. Over the years, he has long been used to how others look at him. If his wife is by his side at this moment, passers-by will surely sigh with emotion that flowers are stuck in cow dung.  Was it because the glamorous and unparalleled wife in the family admired her talent that she was impressed by her?  He walked to the gatehouse of the Chu family, and said to the gatekeeper of the Chu family: "I am Zhao Xingqing, the guest of Mr. Xie Cheng'an, Jinyang Propaganda Envoy, and I am here to look for Miss Wenyu of my family. Please report quickly."

    When the concierge of the Chu family saw such an ugly man claiming to be from the Xie family in Jinyang, they couldn't help but look down on him. It wasn't until Zhao Xingqing took out the seal that the concierge believed what he said just now, and rushed in to report.  Three young men, two men and one woman, came out of it. They were Li Tang, Chu Tianwen, and Xie Wenyu.

    As soon as we met Xie Wenyu, he walked quickly to Zhao Xingqing and said with a smile: "So it was Uncle Zhao who came. I thought it was my father who came to arrest me personally. Let me see if Uncle Zhao's beard has grown.  Huh?" Saying that, Xie Wenyu went to pull Zhao Xingqing's beloved beard.

    How could Zhao Xingqing follow her wish, and hurriedly retreated a few steps, pretending to be a bit sullen and said: "Miss, don't mess around, people are still watching."

    Only then did Xie Wenyu look back at Li Tang and Chu Tian and ask, the two showed joy, but they couldn't hold back their smiles and their faces turned red, but seeing Xie Wenyu looking at him at this moment, Li Tang got a little serious and said loudly  : "Sir, you must have some important business to come here. Why don't you come in and have a cup of tea, let's talk slowly."

    "I just happen to be a little thirsty. If so, it would be better to obey my orders than to be respectful." Zhao Xingqing gave a deep salute to the two of them, then stroked his three-inch beard, which survived the disaster, and his heart immediately calmed down a lot.

    Led by Chu Tianwen, several people immediately came to the living room of the Chu family. A servant brought good tea and put it on the table.  The three served tea and poured water.

    Li Tang took the lead and said: "My next Li Tang, known as Li Jinli, this is Chu Tianwen, the young master of the Chu family, Mr. must have come here to pick up Wenyu, right?  Let's go, to be honest, your young lady has been nagging at the house these days, and my ears are getting callused from the noise. Mr. Xie is also a third-rank official, a civil servant appointed by the court, how did you get born?? Said, there are so many rules, and later I stayed with those Jianghu children. After hanging around for a long time, I realized that there is not so much time to eat in the Jianghu.  It would be too bad to fight, so I ate like them.

    It was already noon at this time, and the servants outside the door came to discuss their lunch matters. Zhao Xingqing originally wanted to pick up the lady quickly, and did not plan to have lunch here, but the sudden smell of food made his stomach growl  Gulu cried out, and had no choice but to stroke his beard and said, "It's up to you, if that's the case, then let's go after lunch."

    It was this lunch that made Zhao Xingqing return to Jinyang City alone, and Xie Wenyu jumped happily because he continued to stay in the Chu family.
