: Tit for tat

While the housekeeper Gu was wandering, the dilapidated courtyard gate of the Xie family creaked, and Ma Wentao came out again. The housekeeper walked up to him and said, "Brother, where is Lord Xie?"

The short sentence contained endless expectations and enthusiasm, which made Ma Wentao, a bad guy, feel a little reluctant to hit him. However, Brother Xie’s instructions must be implemented, so I’m sorry.

"My adult is bathing in a bath and is coming out soon." The lie was so loud that his face was not red and his heart was not beating. When Xie Hong heard it inside the house, he couldn't help but raise his thumbs up and gave his acting skills a high score of 95 points.

Bathing in the air... Butler Gu was speechless. In this small broken yard, you are still bathing in the air. I'm so proud, there is that equipment, you don't have that place. But the situation is better than others. If they don't buy it, he didn't spell it. He could only watch the team that had entered his vision slowly approaching, waiting to bear the anger of his master.

Of course, Xie Hong cannot welcome him in advance, just like negotiations in later generations. At this time, one must pay attention to a momentum. If the person comes out, the person outside will wait for him, and the momentum will naturally be shorter; but if he waits outside, it will weaken his own momentum.

As for such an act, Xie Hong didn't care about County Magistrate Wang. Anyway, he didn't plan to live in Beizhuang County for a long time, and he offended him a little. With County Magistrate Wang's good temper, he might not care about it.

His idea is similar to that of Gu Yuyi. Xie Hong was young and energetic and refused to suffer losses. Gu Yuyi was purely a problem that local officials were accustomed to. He had a low status in the Imperial Hospital, but local officials flattered him very much. Over time, he also regarded himself very highly.

If the Buddha treasure in Xie Hong's hand was too mysterious, how could he come to see a small county chief clerk again and again? But he never expected that he had moved out of the magistrate, and the little chief clerk refused to come out to greet him. This was really unconventional.

The four-person sedan chair in front of the sedan chair of the imperial doctor was in front of him, and the butler also came to meet him from afar. When he got closer, the doctor opened the roller blinds of the sedan window and looked at him coldly. The butler gritted his teeth and reported: "Master, I have said all the good things, but the chief clerk Xie just refused to come out to greet..."

"Useless thing." A cold sentence came out of the sedan chair and lowered the roller shutter again.

The housekeeper knew that the master refused to give up his face no matter what, so he went to the back of the team to invite County Magistrate Wang. County Magistrate Wang was reluctant to come, and he did not want to offend Doctor Gu, no matter what.

He was also very troubled with Xie Hong. Since he came back from the capital, Master Lu kept saying bad things about Xie Hong in his ears. Xie Hong's image in his mind has changed from the humble scholar to the unruly young man. Last time he went to the Gu family, he himself saw Xie Hong contradicting Doctor Gu. Such a person is not suitable to be in the officialdom.

But Magistrate Wang didn't intend to turn against Xie Hong. After all, Xie Hong didn't have anything to do with him. The chief clerk was recommended by him. If he had a fight with Xie Hong, wouldn't he slap himself in the face?

When he arrived in front of the Xie family, he saw that Xie Hong did not come out to greet him. Magistrate Wang sighed even more. It turned out that it was a rotten wood that could not be carved. He couldn't bear it at all. He had planned to attract this young man as his confidant. Now it seems that the chief clerk was really Meng Lang, and he was still young and energetic.

Butler Gu came to invite him, but Magistrate Wang refused. Just as he was about to order Fu Bantou, he saw that the gate of the courtyard was wide open and a young man in green walked out slowly. It was Xie Hong.

Magistrate Wang and Butler Gu had had several dealings. He always felt that this person's attitude was only three points of respect, but he was seven points of arrogance. Today is rare, and the first time he saw this person in a mess.

Although Xie Hong was not very loud when he went out, but Butler Gu breathed a long sigh and seemed to shake his body a few times. Although he was sitting in the sedan chair, Magistrate Wang could hear clearly and read carefully, and felt a little relieved. His dissatisfaction with Xie Hong was weaker, and he felt that this young man had some tricks.

Since Xie Hong has come out, County Magistrate Wang has face and he has also gotten rid of the official sedan chair.

Xie Hong bowed and said, "The magistrate is coming, but he doesn't know that he will say anything. The subordinate official has misunderstood. It's really rude. I hope the lord will forgive him." Although he knew everything outside, it was most convenient to pretend to be confused at this time.

Magistrate Wang was also stunned, then smiled and said, "It's okay, it's because I came abruptly and it's not about the matter of Chief Xie."

When Mr. Gu heard Xie Hong acted like a scoundrel, he muttered a few words, but finally didn't say anything. He thought to himself: Anyway, others have already come out, so there is no need for us servants. Let me give you a headache.

"Is there any important business matter for the magistrate to visit the humble house? Xiaguan had already asked for leave from the adult month ago and was going to the capital tomorrow." Doctor Gu had not come out of the sedan chair at this time, so Xie Hong certainly would not pay attention to him. He just pretended to be ignorant, and then stimulated the other party at the end of the conversation.

Magistrate Wang smiled but said nothing. He was not a servant of the Gu family and could be instructed by someone at will. He realized that he had done his best. If Doctor Gu still refused to put down his airs and came forward to speak, he would not care.

"Cough." Doctor Gu really couldn't sit still. The curtain of the sedan door rolled up and the old man came down.

Although I can no longer hold on, the old man is still very arrogant and shows his face but doesn't speak. Instead, he doesn't know when the housekeeper next to him speaks on his behalf: "Thank you, my master heard that you have obtained a Buddha treasure. My master is a believer, the most pious and kind-hearted, and has a wide range of knowledge in the capital. I am afraid that you will be fooled in your youth, so I want to help you identify it."

What? After the identification, Xie Hong almost laughed. What does this old man eat in Beijing? Is it ruined his brain?

He didn't know that this old man was arrogant, but he didn't expect that he could say such words. Do you think your brother is an idiot? Xie Hongyu sarcastically said, "Let's forget about the identification. Although Xie is superficial, he can't use a doctor who can say that he will never save him to help."

“Buzz…”

One sentence caused a lot of trouble. The magistrate came in person, but the movement was quite big. The Xie family was in a busy area, and Ping'anfang was already lively. Due to the presence of the magistrate, the onlookers did not dare to approach, but just surrounded him from afar and discussed.

Xie Hong's words aroused many people's resonance. Not only one or two people were rejected when they went to Gu's family to seek medical treatment that day. Whether they were joining in the fun or were really in a critical condition, they were quite angry, but they were afraid of the power of the Gu family, so no one dared to say it. Xie Hong ridiculed him in person, and everyone felt very happy and supported him.

Doctor Gu couldn't hold back his face, his face flashed with a blush of breath, and he raised his hand and wanted to scold him, but he didn't know what he thought of, so he forced himself to hold it back, but took his eyes to see the housekeeper.

The housekeeper gritted his teeth and said, "Master Xie is just making excuses. Could it be that there is something strange about it? So I am afraid that my master will see it?"

I want to deal with such a low-key provocation method? Although I don’t like to suffer losses, you can’t be a brother, you are really a naughty person. I am a craftsman and have a very good mentality.

Xie Hong cursed in his heart, but even if he was extremely angry, he could calm his emotions. The more angry he was, the calmer he became. At this time, he was unhappy, but his face smiled brightly and said, "I don't know if it's weird or not. Anyway, I will be sent to the capital sooner or later. There are experts in the capital, and you will know at a glance."

The provocation method did not work, and Xie Hong was also attacked by the army. Butler Gu was stunned. He might not be as good as Xie Hong when talking about the advantages of words and verbalism, but Xie Hong seized his weakness, what other tricks could he make?

Yu Dai Gu was also very angry, but he still did not answer Xie Hong, but turned his attention to Magistrate Wang.
