The wise king fled, and Xu Qing continued to sleep.
If the wise king doesn't pay me any wages, why should I work conscientiously for him?
Didn’t Xiao Ruxue teach very well?
Xu Qing is not lazy. Xu Qing wants the wise king to understand that it is wrong to withhold employees' wages, and he also wants him to understand that it is better to seek help from others than from yourself.
Look, why do you come to me when you can solve things for your own daughter?
Is this good?
This is not good!
Xu Qing advised the prince to take care of himself and reflect carefully. It would be best not to come to him for matters that can be solved at home in the future.
It was not until noon that Xiao Ruxue finally ended her lecture, and Xu Qing finally got enough sleep.
When she got up from the check-in bed, Xiao Ruxue happened to walk in front of her.
Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ruxue and said, "How is it? How is the Shadow Guard teaching?"
Xiao Ruxue shook her head and said: "It's not good. These people are used to going into battle to kill enemies, and they have a natural rejection of books. Even if they give out money to encourage them, it will be difficult to change their habit. But fortunately
They have strict discipline and strong ability to accept and adapt, but even so, it will take a few more days for them to accept and master the basics of lending laws."
Xu Qing smiled and said: "Take your time, it's pretty good to be able to do this. Let's go home and have dinner."
Xiao Ruxue followed Xu Qing and said, "I want to eat grilled fish! All the fish in the fish pond have been fattened by me, and I haven't even had a chance to eat them yet!"
Xu Qing nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I will make it for you when you get home. It will be a reward for Instructor Xue who has worked hard all morning."
"Yeah!" Xiao Ruxue agreed as she followed Xu Qing and got into the carriage of Uncle Anding's house.
Xiao Ruxue came to the Anding Count's Mansion for dinner alone, but his father-in-law was a little surprised. Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Yongle also came for dinner last time, it was Qian'er's birthday, and it was only that day in the year when they gathered together.
It would be nice to celebrate together.
But now that the little princess was brought here alone by her son-in-law, Magistrate Su felt a little uneasy.
After Xiao Ruxue arrived at Uncle Anding's Mansion, she went to find Su Qian. The two girls would have many topics to talk about.
Xu Qing is handling ingredients in the kitchen.
Magistrate Su walked into the kitchen and looked at Xu Qing and said, "There won't be anything wrong with the princess having dinner at our house, right?"
Xu Qing said: "It's not like we haven't eaten it at our house before. Father-in-law, please don't be so nervous. Just think of Xue'er as an ordinary friend of my wife."
Magistrate Su was still nervous and said: "How can you not be nervous as a father? Does the prince know that the princess comes to our house for dinner?"
Xu Qing said: "The prince will naturally know if the princess doesn't go home for dinner. Now the prince is eager to see the princess later, don't worry."
Really, isn't it just the dignified Princess Yongle coming to the house to eat and drink? What's there to be nervous about? King Xian also came to Xu Qing's place to eat and drink, so it's not surprising.
Hey, no, it seems that King Xian gave him money when he ate grilled fish last time. Well, he gave him ten taels of silver. It’s not a free meal.
Prince Xian's Mansion
between meals
Princess Xian looked at King Xian and said, "Your Majesty, why hasn't Xue'er come back yet? Could it be that she stayed at Uncle Anding's Mansion for a meal? Xu Qing's cooking skills are better than those of the imperial chef, so it's normal for Xue'er to be greedy."
King Xian said: "If you are not coming back now, you should have dinner at Uncle Anding's Mansion."
Having said this, the Xian Wang gritted his teeth and said: "Xue'er should eat more at Uncle Anding's Mansion and choose expensive ones. It's best to make Uncle Anding's Mansion poor!"
Seeing King Xian like this, Princess Xian couldn't help being slightly startled and said: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Has Xu Qing made the prince angry again?"
The wise king gritted his teeth and said: "What a hateful bastard! Yesterday, I handed over the three guards to her and asked him to teach the three guards the borrowing method. It would be better for him to drag Xue'er to teach the shadow guards while he sleeps in the guard room.
It’s not that I was afraid that he would not be able to suppress the shadow guard when he first arrived, so I went to check it out today. I guess I will take the credit for Xu Qing!”
When Princess Xian heard this, she also covered her mouth and smiled and said: "This makes Xu Qing a little bit tired. With the prince's temperament, I am afraid that Xu Qing will be scolded a lot, right?"
King Xian said: "Of course I will not let this boy off easily, but this boy is still so eloquent!"
Princess Xian asked curiously: "What did Xu Qing say?"
King Xian said: "He actually said that the king did not give him a monthly salary, and also said that the king asked him to go to Xue'er for compensation, and the compensation was given by Xue'er voluntarily. It is really unreasonable!"
When Princess Xian heard this, she put down her chopsticks and said, "Did the prince really not give Xu Qingyue a salary?"
The wise king was slightly startled: "Princess, the point is not here!"
Princess Xian said: "If the prince does not give Xu Qing a monthly salary, then Xu Qing can ask Xue'er to teach as compensation. It seems that Xu Qing has done nothing wrong, and the prince cannot deduct the monthly salary from Xu Qing's family when there is no shortage of money."
yes."
There was a slight unnatural look on the face of the wise king: "Ahem, come on, princess, eat quickly, otherwise the food will get cold."
Prince Qi's Mansion
King Qi was sitting in the hall, punched the table and said: "Calm yourself sick, say you are sick! Every time I send an invitation to the Anding County uncle, he calls you sick. Does he love being sick so much? Or does he not let me go at all?"
In your eyes?!"
Mr. Wu looked at King Qi and sighed and said: "Your Highness must not be so impatient. Haste makes waste."
King Qi clenched his fists in his sleeves and said: "After three visits to the thatched cottage, Mr. Wu, I have already given thirteen invitations to Xu Qing. This person is so ungrateful!"
Mr. Wu sighed and said: "I have misjudged this Anding County Bodhisattva. How can he be a simple man if he can become a County Bodhisattva at a young age?"
King Qi was startled when he heard Mr. Wu's words and said, "What does Mr. Wu mean by this?"
Mr. Wu said: "I originally thought that the uncle of Anding County was just a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old, and he would naturally carry the immaturity and sensibility of this age. But now it seems that he can live in the county at sixteen or seventeen."
How can the position of uncle be so simple as that of a person who is so determined in just a few words?"
King Qi heard this and said: "Do I really want to give you generous gifts to win over this uncle from Anding County? But I don't have enough money on hand..."
Mr. Wu shook his head and said: "No, the uncle of Anding County is in charge of the National Business Council. The most important thing for this person is money. Your Highness attracted him to seek wealth. How can you impress the richest man in Anding County financially?"
Uncle?"
King Qi said: "Then what should I do? Please teach me Mr. Wu."
Mr. Wu said: "A person's life is nothing more than money, fame, power, and beauty. Using money to impress a person who does not lack these things is naturally the worst of the worst. So money is the most undesirable. If you exclude money, there will be nothing left.
