The most powerful minister in the world

Li San followed Sister Qiao to cook, while Jing Xi followed Lao Suntou into the house.

The whole house is made of loess. Fortunately, the roof is high and there are many windows, so it doesn't look gloomy at all.

The furniture was more or less incomplete, but generally it was complete for daily necessities. The tea set on the small wooden table seemed a bit out of place.

I guess Lao Suntou loves tea, so he prepared such a set.

As soon as Jingxi sat down, Chenchen was called out to boil water. Now he and Lao Suntou were the only two people left in the room.

Jingxi looked out along the door lintel, turned around and said, "Doesn't it matter that my eldest brother is still rolling around outside?"

Lao Suntou cheered and waved his hands and said: "It's been noisy for three days, and the loess at the door has almost been wiped clean by him. Don't worry about him. It will be fine when you eat."

Jingxi nodded, sniffing the faint smell of herbs. When Chenchen was holding a boiling kettle and standing with his little head level with the wooden table, Jingxi took it and filled it with water.

Lao Suntou filled his teacup, stroked his beard and asked, "Look, I haven't even known your name since we met."

Jingxi patted his forehead and said, "Haha, I forgot, my name is Feng Xi, and my wife's name is Li San."

When Lao Suntou heard the words Li San, he curled his lips in disbelief and made a gesture of invitation.

Jingxi picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Don't tell me, it's really good, different from the best teas.

This kind of scented tea made from last year's dried chrysanthemums has an endless aftertaste.

The two of them were chatting with each other like this. Old Sun didn't ask Jingxi's origins and just treated Jingxi as one of his own juniors.

"To be honest," Jingxi rubbed his knees and looked a little embarrassed, "My mother-in-law and I sneaked out and don't plan to go back yet. Are there any inns around here? Let's go make some time there."

"Hehehe~ The bandits have been causing a lot of trouble recently, and our small village is under the den of bandits. All the business people have closed their doors and run into the city."

Listening to Old Suntou's words, Jingxi nodded with some disappointment, but at this moment, Old Suntou said again: "Young man, don't be so sad. There is still an empty room in my pharmacy. If you don't mind it, just We’ll make do.”

Hearing this, Jingxi said happily: "That's great, I really don't know how to thank you."

"Hey~ I see that you are very kind-hearted. If you encounter difficulties when you are away from home, I will help you if I can."

Jingxi couldn't help but feel that this old man who looked no different from an ordinary farmer was much cuter.

Chenchen also pretended to sit on the chair at this time, placing his arms on the wooden table and sipping tea.

Three cups of tea were steaming while surrounded by three people. Jingxi spoke again: "You said you often go to the top of the mountain to collect herbs. As far as I know, that waterfall is connected to Qishan Mountain's Guantou Peak?"

Lao Suntou coughed twice and lit the cigarette pot and said: "It is indeed connected to Guantou Peak. The terrain there is steep and few people walk around, so the rare animals and medicinal herbs grow very well."

Jingxi asked impatiently: "Is there a path that can lead directly to the top of the mountain from here?"

Just when Lao Suntou was about to answer, Chen Chen on the side suddenly interjected: "Grandpa, you can't say that, that path is full of poisonous fog, so you can't go there."

Jingxi clapped his hands and secretly rejoiced in his heart: There really is a way to go up, God has really paid off, it's done!

Seeing Jing Xi's obvious happiness, Lao Suntou took a few puffs on the handle of his cigarette, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Young man, I just finished saying that this village is right under the bandits' den. Why do you want to go up there?"

When Jingxi was about to be fooled by Old Suntou's questioning, he saw Chenchen standing on a wooden bench and filling the empty tea cup that had been prepared.

Jingxi also heard movement in the kitchen at this moment, so she turned back and looked. It turned out that it was Li San who was picking up the garlic hanging by the door, and also picked up a stick of dried chili peppers, and gave her a thumbs up.

She stared back, then opened the curtain and returned to the kitchen.

When Jingxi turned around, it was as if he was frightened by a fierce beast charging into his face. I screamed and fell backwards, heavily parallel to the ground.

He was seen holding his buttocks, looking at the man who suddenly appeared and sitting opposite Chen Chen drinking tea, and said, "Who are you?"

I saw the man cupping his fists and saying softly: "Dear brother!"

Jingxi rubbed his butt, lifted up the chair, sat down, and clasped his fists: "Brother, weren't you rolling around outside just now? Why did you suddenly..."

The man who suddenly appeared was none other than Sun Shuhang, who had just been intimate with Huang Tu outside. At this time, he nonchalantly took out his little baby from his arms.

He placed them in front of Jing Xi with some pride and said, "How about it, dear friend, are these square inkstones of mine good?"

Jing Xizheng was lamenting how solidly he fell just now. Hearing Sun Shuhang's boastful tone, he quickly praised: "Good, good, good. They are all top quality."

Unexpectedly, Sun Shuhang would say: "Hey, I don't understand inkstones when I look at them. These are all fake, hehehehe."

Jingxi was stunned at this moment. After a while, he finally regained his composure and saw him rubbing his brows and rubbing his face.

Sun Shuhang turned a blind eye and continued to talk about how to distinguish the authenticity of an inkstone and how to see if it was a good inkstone.

The spit flew out from between his teeth and landed on Jing Xi's face several times.

Thanks to Sister Qiao coming out with fish soup, Sun Shuhang quickly cleared the table like a mouse seeing a cat, and hid the inkstone back in his arms like a dog guarding its food.

"Is it easy for me to earn a few big bucks? I secretly buy these deceptive things. If there were no customers here, I would have smashed them piece by piece in front of you."

Sister Qiao's grinning look was quite like a dominatrix. When she turned to Jingxi and spoke to Jingxi, she was as gentle as a real sister: "Eat quickly, your family will cook you the spicy dishes you want. You don't have to wait for us." .”

Then he turned to Chen Chen and said, "Children, go out to play for a while and come back to eat later."

Jingxi quickly stopped us and said, "What are you doing, Sister Qiao? We are already in trouble, and with your help, look at you, isn't this a slap in our face?"

"That's right, why are our own people using these false politenesses?" Sun led Hanghu to pretend to be powerful.

But as soon as Sister Qiao glared, he stood up obediently and stood at the door without saying a word. Sister Qiao turned to Jingxi and said, "Then I will hold him to eat later. Use your chopsticks quickly. Dad, this is yours." fish head."

Lao Suntou looked at Jingxi, who waved his hands and said, "I like meat, you can eat it."

After hearing this, Lao Suntou started to eat.

When Sister Qiao walked to the kitchen, she didn't forget to scold you: "You! Wait until we finish eating and then eat again. I'll get angry just looking at you!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Sister Qiao entered the kitchen, he sat back down, picked up the chopsticks and mashed it, then took a piece for Jingxi without anyone noticing, and started to eat it by himself.

"Brother Feng, hey hey, have you read the book?"

Jingxi blinked in surprise. He didn't tell Sun Shuhang what his name was.

Chenchen explained again: "My dad is not good at anything, he just has good ears."

Jing Xi snorted: "I have read some of the Four Books and Five Classics, and I understand some principles. Why does Brother Sun ask this?"

"That's what it is. Hey, hey, I can't read. Please write a letter for me."

"What?!!!!"

Jing Xi was taking out the fish bone from his mouth, but after listening to his words, he actually swallowed the finger-long fish bone.

It has to be said that these successive attacks made Jingxi somewhat doubtful about life. There are really no wonders in the world.

"You look like a scholar and love calligraphy. How can you be illiterate?"

Sun Shuhang took another piece of fish to Jingxi and said, "Brother Feng, you don't know something. This is about learning. You don't necessarily have to be able to read. How troublesome. When you encounter something you don't recognize or a metaphor, you have to turn around. Go check it out.”

"This..." Jingxi held on to the job that he almost let go of, but suddenly felt that the rice was no longer tasty, "What kind of truth is this? It's completely unheard of. Isn't all knowledge in books?"

"Hey~ That's a bad statement. Insight into worldly matters is knowledge, and understanding of human feelings is writing. Brother Feng, don't be too stubborn."
