MTL - The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family-Chapter 517 inquire

  Yan Lao Er came in through the back door of the government office quietly.

  After he finished grooming and changing clothes, he looked human again.

   Walked from the backyard to the front, and met General Xue who was about to leave.

  Yan's second son shouted familiarly: "Brother Xue is leaving!"

  He really just said hello casually, not knowing etiquette.

   Xue Zongqi stopped abruptly, and stared at him for a long time with very strange eyes, which made Yan Lao Er feel hairy.

  What's the matter? The play he played just now was discovered? We are all in the same group, even if you find that I am the rhythmic one in the crowd, do you need to look at me with such strange eyes? !

   "Brother Yan, it's rare to see you these days. I miss you brother Xue!" Xue Zongqi changed his face too quickly, almost overflowing with enthusiasm, and dragged Yan's second brother to the nearest restaurant.

"Brother Xue, Brother Xue, what are you doing, let go of me, I can't do without..." Yan Laoer was sweating in anxiety, and hurriedly said: "Then Eunuch Li and his party came all the way, we can't let you go!" People come and go, why don't you have to have a meal, I have to keep an eye on it, but I can't entertain you badly, when will our brothers fail to get together, brother Xue, let me go quickly, What a mess on the brother's side!"

  Xue Zongqi grabbed Yan's second child and didn't even pinch him with his hands.

   Said that we want to drink together, we must not let him run away.

"What kind of hospitality can you serve, and it can be better than Fucheng's? There is really something delicious and delicious, how dare you serve it." Xue Zongqi knew these things very well, and said sincerely: "Our tiger Everyone can see what the conditions are, and we can't pick this one. It's not beautiful to really clean up a table.

   Then who is Eunuch Li? He is a well-known internal official in the palace.

   Don't believe it? Let's take a seat facing the street, you see, if someone stays and doesn't leave, we'll let you go back, if someone leaves, we brothers will stop drinking, how about that? "

  It’s all said here, don’t say it, Yan Laoer is really a little curious whether Eunuch Li and his party will keep a meal.

  The two found a seat by the window, and Yan's second child kept looking out.

  Xue Zongqi skillfully ordered a few appetizers, and asked the store to bring over two pots of good wine.

  As soon as two dishes were served, there was a commotion in front of the official yamen.

  Master Tian led people to send Eunuch Li and his party out of the government office...

  Yan Lao Er gave a thumbs up to Xue Zongqi: "Brother Xue, you really have it, sure!"

Xue Zongqi smiled proudly: "What is this? You just have little experience. Don't say you are from the capital. People in Fucheng look down on us. They are people who are used to delicacies from mountains and seas. They look down on our simple food. It's normal. , hehe, but they have never tasted your handicraft, Brother Yan, but if they have tasted it, they must not leave!"

  He gave Yan's second child a small hug.

  Yan's second child showed his teeth with a smile, and said modestly: "Where is it, brother Xue is joking, we have self-knowledge, that is, make a home-cooked meal..."

Xue Zongqi first poured a glass of wine for Yan Laoer, and then poured another glass for himself: "Brother Yan Er is a capable person, and he will be caught at home and abroad. Good food, good at settling accounts, being able to manage affairs, not to mention dealing with people and dealing with others. After the new year, you have to go to the scientific examination? Well, it is much more convenient to have a reputation. Besides, brother, your courage is also admired by brother. When you meet Bei Rong, Don't be cowardly, dare to go up, you are a man!"

   "Come on, brother toast you!" Xue Zongqi raised his glass.

  Yan Laoer hurriedly picked up the wine glass, without hesitation, he drank it down in one gulp.

  The two lit up the bottom of their cups, looked at each other and laughed.

   "Brother Xue, in our relationship, if you have something to say, just speak up." Yan Lao said with all his heart, don't fool me, just hurry up if you have anything to say.

  The wine that has been scalded has a strong aftertaste.

   Xue Zongqi took advantage of this alcohol, and simply opened up, no longer beating around the bush.

   "Yan Er, how did you come from Qishan Mansion?" He asked, looking straight at Yan Er.

Yan Lao Er was puzzled, took a chopstick of food, and said while eating: "Brother Xue asked this question, so he came here. After coming out of his hometown, we passed Leshan Mansion, and when we met bandits, we took a detour. I turned a corner from Xizhou, otherwise, why would I enter from Huju? Opportunity to drink at a table..."

   "Yes, you met bandits on the way, tell Brother Xue in detail, what is the bandit like? Are there many people? Is it fierce?" Xue Zongqi asked.

Yan Laoer opened his mouth and came: "There are a lot of people, very scary, how can we not be fierce, can we run away if we are not fierce, now we are afraid after thinking about it, ouch, I dare not look back, I will have nightmares at night... "

  Xue Zongqi drank a glass of wine by himself, and suddenly asked: "Yan Er, did you kill people? How many bandits did you kill?"

  Yan Lao Er didn't change his face, and he didn't even pause in the action of picking up vegetables.

"Brother Xue, why are you interested in mountain bandits again? Are you planning to...suppress bandits?" He nodded repeatedly, and said, "It's time to suppress them, it's too rampant! You dare to stop people on the official road... that's right , Is this bandit suppression a big contribution? Can it be a military merit?"

President Xue put down his chopsticks, with a serious face, and said in a deep voice: "Yan Er, don't talk about those useless things, Yan Hushu told me everything, tell Brother Xue the truth, how many people are there? Are the soldiers and horses really ready? You have seen what our frontier army looks like, how does it compare with our frontier brothers?

You don’t have to hide it from me. I’ve seen it since the day you came here. Everyone in your village has seen blood. It’s not surprising that you have experienced anything on the way to escape from the famine. I don’t ask, but those people... Tell me, tell me carefully! "

  Yan Lao Er didn't look up, but lowered his head and took a sip of his wine.

  He could tell that what Xue Zongqi wanted to ask was not bandits.

   "Why did my brother tell you?" Yan Laoer asked in a low voice.

  Xue Zongqi repeated what Yan Huaiwen said to him.

   Yan's second son exhaled.

Looking up at General Xue, he said slowly: "What my brother said is everything. If you ask me to say it, I can't say anything. How can we know the specifics? When we meet, Catch up, it really makes people whisper, my brother is always careful, he thinks more, if you think it's something, just pay more attention."

   Xue Zongqi looked at him amusedly.

   This Yan’s second son said that he is honest, useless idle chatting with you, and trying to ask something useful from him, it is really tight.

   He ordered another drink himself.

  Drinking a little fast, my throat is hot.

   "Yan Er, you can quickly become an official. This is not a big deal, but you are fighting with your brother Xue. Yan Hushu is your brother. Don't you know how he talks!"

  Yan Laoer smiled awkwardly. He knew too well that his brother would never use two words if he could use one.

  Xue Zongqi: "Your brother has made arrangements for me, let me go to Qishan Prefecture and Leshan Prefecture on behalf of the Huju government office, and send official documents...

  I plan to go from Xizhou, which is next to our Huju, so it’s not too far away. "

  Yan Laoer nodded secretly, seeing is believing, no matter how much you say, it is not true for people to see with their own eyes.

  He didn't know why the elder brother chose this time to reveal the matter, but the elder brother has always been reliable in doing things, so there must be his deep meaning.

Xue Zongqi glanced at Yan Laoer, and said: "According to my original intention, I want you to come with me this trip, but I also know that you will have an exam next year, so it's not good to delay your future. , Hu Da, my subordinates, help me figure out who is suitable to take, and where did you meet that day, and what happened, you have to tell me the whole story."

  He needs to know more details in order to determine the focus of this trip.

  Yan's second son no longer concealed it, and told the events of that day in detail.

   One meal of wine was enough for an hour.

  Headache, headache or headache~ Courtship hug(づ)づ
