Ximen Qing was outside telling Ping An to take good care of Dongfang Bubai, when suddenly he felt a gust of cold wind blowing, and he shivered unconsciously.As if aware of it, he glanced in the direction of Dongfang Bubai, but found nothing unusual, so he turned back and told Ping An.

After giving his orders, he got into the carriage and left the Jade Emperor Temple.Although he was reluctant to part with the beauties, he had made a decision early in the morning to go home today, if the old man couldn't wait for him, hehe, he probably wouldn't be able to enjoy the beauties.

Jishitang is just to the east of the county seat. It has five gates, and behind the gates is a courtyard with seven entrances, which is very spacious.

There is a door next to the door face, which is exclusively for people to enter and exit.Ximen Qing looked at the sky, then ordered the coachman to settle the carriage by himself, while he jumped out of the carriage and walked to the pharmacy.

At this time of day, his father, Ximenda, would be in the pharmacy, either checking the accounts or checking the medicinal herbs. If he wanted to see his father, he would naturally go to the pharmacy.

But when he got out of the carriage, he found that there were many carriages and people on the right, almost blocking the street.There are a lot of things on the carriage. At a glance, there are various household items and daily necessities, as if they are moving.

When he looked at those belongings carefully, surprise flashed in his eyes.That ordinary bench turned out to be ebony with a rosewood heart, and the back chair was made of red sandalwood, inlaid with high-quality marble, not to mention those golden lacquered and emerald screens. things.

And looking at the carriage stretching to the street, and the countless boxes on the carriage, one can tell how rich the owner is.

If he remembers correctly, the house next door to him has never been inhabited. Some time ago, he was thinking about whether to find a way to buy this house and expand the store. A very rich man, Ximen Qing unconsciously smiled a little.

"Are you new here?" Ximen Qing asked a busy boy.

The boy was a little impatient to answer, but after seeing Ximen Qing's appearance and clothes, he immediately became respectful, "Are you?"

"I'm your neighbor. This Jishitang is opened by my family. My surname is Ximen, and my single character is Qing." Ximen Qing was very kind.

When the boy heard this, he became more respectful. Jishitang is considered a big property, and those who can live on this street are all capable, so he hurriedly said: "It turns out that it is the Ximen official. People, I'm going to report to my family officials."

With that said, he trotted into the carriage.

After a while, two sedan chairs passed over the convoy and arrived in front of Ximen Qing.The curtain of the previous sedan chair was lifted, and a man in his twenties came down. The man was quite upright, but he was slightly hunchbacked, so he looked a little breathless, but he was dressed very well.

When the man saw Ximen Qing, his eyes lit up.In fact, Ping An’s praise of Ximen Qingchang’s goodness is not all flattery, Ximen Qingchang’s is indeed very handsome, his eyes are shining like stars, and there is an indescribable spirit on his body, just like a blue dragon soaring into the sky Generally, simply standing there is a landscape of its own.

"Brother Ximen, my surname is Hua, and my name is Zixu. I just moved here today, and I need brother Ximen to take care of me in the future." Huazixu cupped his fists and saluted.

Ximen Qing returned the gift, and said with a smile: "What kind of care, isn't this too strange! Since you moved next door to me, it is our fate, and we should get closer. I have lived here since I was a child. , some places are more familiar than you, if you need any help, you must tell me, I will do my best."

Hearing what he said, Hua Zixu smiled even more, "What you said is, when we met today, I felt that we hit it off very well, and we should get closer in the future."

"That's right. By the way, we have a fraternity association, which is full of brothers with the same aspirations. It is not very convenient for you to move today. When you are free, I will introduce these brothers to you." Ximen Qing smiled unclearly. .

"Really? That's great. I was worried that I won't have any good friends here, but now someone gives me a pillow when I'm sleepy. You must remember it." Hua Zixu took Ximen Qing's hand, a little reluctant to let go open.

Before Ximen Qing could answer, a servant ran over from behind and whispered something into Hua Zixu's ear.Hua Zixu heard it, and hurriedly said to Ximen Qing: "Things are complicated today, and something happened later, I'm going to take a look."

"You're busy, we'll talk later when you're free." Ximen Qing took the opportunity to withdraw his hand and said caringly.

Hua Zixu nodded again and again, but he didn't care about sitting in the sedan chair, so he led the servant towards the back, and disappeared in the motorcade after a while.

Seeing him disappear, Ximen Qing turned his eyes and landed on the sedan chair at the back. The four corners of the sedan chair were decorated with necklaces, and the sedan chair curtain was light pink. It seemed that the person sitting was a female relative.

At this time, one side of the sedan chair curtain was lifted slightly, revealing a melon-shaped face and a woman's face with two slender eyebrows, obviously the woman in the sedan chair was looking out.

Ximen Qing's gaze met the woman's gaze, but he didn't dodge, but blinked lightly, his eyes seemed to be rippling with indescribable affection.

The sedan chair curtain was lowered immediately, and the woman in the sedan chair seemed to be a little too flustered, and even hit the side of the sedan chair when the sedan chair curtain was being lowered, making a "boom", and then there was no more sound.

The corner of Ximen Qing's mouth curled up, and he turned and left.After walking a few meters, he deliberately turned his head and found that there was another gap in the sedan chair curtain. Although it was not as big as last time, he could still see that the people in the sedan chair were looking at him.

The people in the sedan probably didn't expect him to look back, and immediately lowered the curtain of the sedan, this time there was really no movement.

The smile on the corner of Ximen Qing's mouth was even bigger, he turned his head, stopped looking there, turned and entered Jishitang.

In the Jishi Hall, there is a gentleman who is seeing a doctor, and a young man is busy back and forth, a busy scene.

When the boy saw Ximen Qing coming in, he bent down to salute. Ximen Qing waved his hand and went straight to the back hall.

In the back hall, I saw the old man looking through the ledger as expected.

Ximenda ran around doing business in his early years, and he didn't settle in Qinghe County until he was in his 20s. Ximenqing was born when he was nearly 30 years old.Now that Ximen Qing is in his prime, the old man is already old. His temples are full of white hair, his back is a little bent, and his eyes are a little blurry. When reading the account books, he has to lie low on the table and cough twice occasionally.

Ximen Qing looked at such a father, his eyes were a little sour.His mother died young, and his father was afraid that his stepmother would abuse him, so he raised him by himself.

After all, one's energy is limited, and his father has to be busy with the work in the store and take care of himself. His body has been going downhill, so what Ximen Qing said in the Jade Emperor Temple to pray for his father's safety is not false. He has no brothers and sisters. I really hope that the old man can always be with him.

Perhaps Ximen Qing's gaze was too fierce, the old man looked this way as if he had a sense of reaction, and seeing him standing at the door, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but soon he became stern again, and said in a solemn voice :"came back?"

Ximen Qing quickly put away all the expressions on his face, showing his usual smile, but this time the smile was a little more sincere, "I'm not back. Dad, you don't know, I'm tired from this trip. It's hard, there is nothing in the valley, but there are many mosquitoes." He rolled up his sleeves and showed the old man a few red spots on his arm.

The old man's lips moved slightly, and he raised his hand as if to grab Ximen Qing's arm, but he seemed to have thought of something halfway, and pressed his hand back, and reprimanded in a low voice: "What's the matter with being bitten? When selling drugs, I slept in the graveyard and robbed wild dogs for food."

"Of course I'm not as good as you!" Ximen Qing complimented with a smile.

"Look at your appearance, stand still." As the old man said, he opened the drawer on the right side of the cabinet and took out a small bottle.

Opening the small bottle, he poured a little crystal liquid from it, applied it on Ximen Qing's arm, and said in his mouth: "It's a waste for you to use such a good thing." But the action of putting it on was not slow at all. After one layer was applied, as if it was not enough, I poured some more and applied another layer.

Ximen Qing smiled and said: "Who told me that I am your son! If I don't use this thing, who will use it." He looked like a rascal.

The old man seemed a little angry, and slapped his arm, "I'd rather throw it away than give it to you." He said and put the small bottle back in the drawer.

Ximen Qing was not annoyed either, he retracted his arms and looked down at the ointment smeared on his arms, his face was full of complacency.

Seeing him like this in the usual way, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but soon he became serious again, "I heard that you robbed Guangshuntang's medicinal materials this time?"

Ximen Qing nodded, and said nonchalantly, "I've been displeased with them for a long time."

"I know it's causing trouble, and I don't let me feel relieved at all." The old man seemed to be scolding, but in fact, there was more pride and joy in his voice unconsciously.

But when he said this, he seemed to suddenly think of something, "From now on, do business with me at home, and don't hang out with those dubious people. Look at what kind of people they are, they are just dawdling or Eat, drink, prostitute, and gamble, and don’t do anything serious, you follow them all day long, and when I die, you may starve to death someday.”

When the old man mentioned this, his face flushed with anger, he stroked his chest and began to cough. He was really worried about his son.

Ximen Qing patted the back and cared again, and quickly promised that he would never associate with these people again. Then, he stood quietly and listened to the reprimand, looking like a good baby, but what was he thinking in his heart, No one will know.

Seeing that his attitude was not bad, the old man let out a sigh of relief, and motioned him to go back quickly, wash up and eat.He knew that his son had been suffering outside for the past two days, so he had prepared a pot of medicinal food to replenish his body. Now, the time is just right.
