Vol 2 Chapter 3: Leisure

The next day, Qi Ning slept a lot, and no one came to disturb him. It was almost noon before he was awakened by the knock on the door. Then he got up and asked, "Who is bothering Ben Hou to sleep?"
Outside, there was a voice from Hou Fu's new director Han Shou: "Hou Ye, Shen Hou Fu sent someone to invite Hou Ye to eat in the past, and has been waiting for a while. Will Hou Ye see you?"
Qi Ning was taken aback for a moment, thinking that the people of Shenhou House would come and invite themselves to dinner. What happened? Is it because of the misunderstanding that night that you have to pay apology?
He got up and opened the door. Someone had brought hot water to wait for washing and waited for it to be cleaned up before Qi Ning went out. Han Shou was waiting outside the door. When he saw Qi Ning, he respectfully said, "Hou Ye, here comes a Qu Xiaowei, said that it was Ximen Shenhou who sent him over to invite Hou Ye to have a meal in the past. "
"Simon Simon sent someone to invite you?" Qi Ning was surprised, thinking that Ximen's innocent name had heard it many times, but only heard of his name but no one. What happened in the past two days, Qi Ning had actually forgotten it, and didn't even remember it, but he didn't want Ximen Shenhou to send people over.
Qu Xiaocang still squinted with a slit in his eyes when he saw Qu Xiaocang, the greedy wolf school captain of the Shenhou Mansion, "Hou Ye, the humble office is under the orders of the prince, and he is invited to eat dinner. "
"Shenhou is too polite." Although there was a misunderstanding that night, Qi Ning's anger was already out, and he was really unwilling to form any hatred with Shenhou House.
Today, the priest of Ximen sent Qu Xiaocang to come to meet him personally.
Although Qu Xiaocang is only a school captain, this school captain is not an ordinary school captain who can be compared.
He is one of the seven stars of the Big Dipper of Shenhou Mansion, ranking second. According to Qi Ning's understanding, in addition to the Ximen Lord, Qu Xiaocang is the second person in Shenhou Mansion.
For such a character, Qi Ning is also as polite as possible.
"Shenhou has prepared the wine and is waiting." Qu Xiaocang smiled and said: "Shenhou said, if he can't hire Houye, he will wait in front of Jinyihoufu for his inferior office. He can't go back to life until Houye goes. Otherwise, stay in front of the door. "
Qi Ning said with a smile: "If Ben Hou does not go for three days, does Qu Xiaowei have to wait three days and three nights in front of the Jinyihou Mansion?"
"If Lord Hou hopes so, humble jobs can only wait." Qu Xiaocang smiled, white and fat meat huddled together, but he did not lose respect. Although he was fat, he felt that he would not hate him When the smile is full, it will give people an affinity.
Qi Ning knew that the Shenhou Mansion respected Ximen Wuhen, and their ways of doing things were carried out in a style of rivers and lakes. Since Qu Xiaocang said so, it might really be like that.
Qi Ning knew that Qu Xiaocang was a very savvy person, but he did n’t want to embarrass him. He smiled and said,
Since Qu Xiaowei is here, Ben Hou ca n’t let Qu Xiaowei really wait.
Asked: This is the time to go. Is it a bit late for us to pass this time? "
He had been to Shenhou Mansion, and there was really some way to go from Jinyihou Mansion. When the car passed, it would take more than half an hour.
Qu Xiaocang said with a smile: "Thank you Hou Ye for the appreciation of his face. Hou Ye rest assured that the prince said, no matter how late, he will wait, and the prince does not live in the princely palace, in fact not far from here."
"Oh?"
"Shenhou Mansion is the place to do business. Shenhou had lived in Shenhou Mansion for a long time, but since ... hey, since the death of the maid, Shenhe moved out of Shenhou Mansion and bought it nearby. A small yard, "Qu Xiaocang explained:" Shenhou is a person of great affection and justice. His old man and his wife lived in Shenhou Mansion for many years. After the teacher's death, the prince saw things and thought about people, so he simply left."
Qi Ning nodded slightly.
The place where Ximen Shenhou lives is really not far away. In fact, he is only three streets away from Jinyihou Mansion, and walks along an alley to the end. It is the courtyard where Ximen Shenhou lives. There is a simple plaque on the door. , With the words "Xian Le Ju".
The yard is not big, but there are some flowers and plants in the yard. In the deep winter season, most of the flowers and plants have withered, but a piece of bamboo in the corner of the yard is raw and lush, which adds a touch of anger to the bleak winter.
Duan Canghai followed the escort, but when he arrived outside the courtyard, Qu Xiaocang only asked Qi Ning to come in. He was himself, and he stayed with Duan Canghai outside the courtyard.
Qi Ning knows that Ximen Wuhen is not only the leader of the Palace of Gods, but also has an extraordinary position on the rivers and lakes. He is also one of the four masters of art, and is a top painter.
The courtyard is very clean. Three very simple houses. If Qu Xiaocang did not lead the way, Qi Ning really suspected that he had gone to the wrong place.
Suddenly a "thorn" sound rang out from a small house on the side. When I looked at it, I saw the smoke from the rooftop, which seemed to be a kitchen.
Curious under his heart, he walked over and glanced inside. Sure enough, it was a kitchen, built with earthen stoves. Only a half-old old man was holding a spatula in his hand, and he was cooking at the pot counter. The old man was skilled, and at first glance it was the old cook.
"Excuse me, can the prince be there?" Qi Ning asked at the man.
The man raised his head, saw Qi Ning, and immediately smiled: "Wait!" The fried dishes were filled up and put into the dish. Then they took the cloth towels and wiped their hands, carrying the dish away Come over and smile: "Hou Ye, rest in the hall."
Qi Ning saw that the dish was fried meat with asparagus, and the style was really not very beautiful, but the diffused taste made people appetite. Following the man to the middle hall, I saw a small square table in the middle, which was already placed on it. Three or four dishes are common home-cooked dishes.
Qi Ning looked around, and the furnishings in the house were quite simple, but he did n’t see the Simon prince. It was a bit strange. The cook even took off his apron and threw it aside. He smiled and said, "Hou Ye, please sit down. It ’s just right, come sooner. , This dish has n’t been cooked yet. It ’s a bit late, and I ’m afraid it ’s getting cold. Come, yes, what wine do you drink?
He sat down at the table and took two jars of wine. The entrance of this altar is sweet, and the wine is not very strong. It is liked by the southerners. This altar is a strong liquor that I have collected for many years. It was sent by a friend from the north, saying that it is like a throat. , They call it Beifenglie, haha, this name is also interesting. "
Qi Ning stunned, and understood quickly, and asked, "You ... are you Simon the Lord?"
The cook laughed: "Does Lord Hou feel that the prince should wait for others to come and serve? Haha, the old man thinks that this is alive." Raised his hand and said: "Hurry down and sit down to eat the food, and it will be cold if you don't eat." Here, you do n’t have to be too strict. When Ling Zun is alive, he can come here often. Every time the old man cooks his own food, he can eat away these dishes, but he can be wiped out every time. "
Qi Ning was sure. The man in front of him suddenly turned out to be a priest of Simon.
He had heard the famous name early, but he did not expect to see such a scene for the first time when he saw Simon Wuhen.
Ximen Wuhen looks like an ordinary ordinary man who can no longer be ordinary. He looks in his fifties, slender, casually dressed, but looks quite elegant. He wanted to be a very handsome man when he was young.
He knew that in this era, even ordinary people, there were few men going to the kitchen, and the leader of the dignified mansion, even wearing an apron to cook in person, this was really not what Qi Ning expected.
After sitting down, Ximen Wuqian poured Qi Ning first and smiled: "Still drink lighter, you are younger, you have not been to the north, you may not be accustomed to the spirits of the northerners." Pouring yourself a glass, Talent: "I also heard about that matter. I have made Shenhou House severely punished, so Houye should not worry about it."
Qi Ning returned to God and said: "The prince does not have to be like this. In fact, the misunderstanding has already been solved on the spot."
"It's not a misunderstanding." Ximen Wusha shook his head and said: "In recent years, the old man has no need to go and ask about many things in Shenhou House. Shenhou House is also handed over to Xuanyuan, the old disciple of the old man. It's all okay, but this time it happened, it shows that there is still a great negligence in Shenhou Mansion. "
Qi Ning smiled and said: "There are so many things, it is inevitable that there will always be some mistakes, and the prince actually does not have to care too much."
"Shenhou Mansion is the place to deal with cases, and every case involves the forces of the rivers and lakes." Ximen Wuzhen said rightly: "Even the simplest case, as long as there is a slight negligence in handling, it is likely to cause a big disaster. , So there is no room for any difference. "
Qi Ning's expression was suddenly solemn, and said: "Shenhou's words are very true, it was me who made a mistake."
"Eat the food first." Ximen Wuchen smiled and said: "Please come over today. First, I apologized to you for that matter. Second, I also hope that Lord Hou has any suggestions for our Shenhou Mansion. Finally, let Hou Ye recognize the door. If Shanzhen Seafood tastes greasy in the future, if you want to change the taste, you can come to the old man. "
The priest of Simon looked amiable and very inconsistent with his high position. Qi Ning was surprised. He picked up the dishes with chopsticks and tasted it. He thought it was extremely delicious. He praised: "Shen, you are not talking Are you kidding me? If I really want to eat home-cooked food, can I come here to eat rice? "
"Hahaha ...!" Ximen Wuchen laughed: "Welcome at any time, first of all, let me eat here, there is a rule, moved the first chopsticks, if not all the dishes on the table Solve it clean ~ EbookFREE.me ~ That is not allowed to leave the seat. When Ling Zun was there, he had never broken this rule. "
Qi Ning glanced at the dishes on the table. Although there were five dishes, the amount of the dishes was not too large. The two really wanted to go all out. The five dishes could be solved.
At this moment, I heard footsteps outside and heard a clear voice: "Daddy, are you secretly drinking again?" In the voice, a shadow of beauty has floated in, and Qi Ning looked up and looked over, It is the war of Simon.
Ximen glanced at Ximen, and when he saw Qi Ning, he immediately frowned. Ximen Wuxian glanced at Ximen Zhanying, and said, "Tassel, you are just here. Hou Ye is here, you come and pour wine!"
Ximen Zhanying obviously had no good impression on Zing Ning. He snorted and turned away. Ximen frowned without a trace, and said with a deep voice: "Stop!"
Ximen war stopped and Ximen said coldly, "You didn't hear my words? How can you be so ignorant? Hou Ye is here? The day before yesterday, Hou Ye did not care about you. , You think it ’s so easy? It ’s not enough. "
The prince deserves to be the prince. In cold terms, there is an irresistible prestige.
