Chapter 133 Eat more good food and spend more time with your family
After Magistrate Su said these words, Xu Qing instantly felt a chill in his lower body... Is his wife really so brave?
But when I think of seeing my wife dancing with a sword in the yard every day...it doesn't matter whether she dares or not, what matters is that she really has the strength!
At this moment, Xu Qing suddenly looked at Magistrate Su and asked doubtfully: "Father-in-law, have you been there?"
Magistrate Su's face darkened: "Nonsense! How can you go to a place like that if you want to keep yourself clean as a father?! Don't try to taint someone's innocence!"
Xu Qing wondered: "Then why would my father-in-law know that Miss Qing from Piaoxiang Tower is really a music player?"
Magistrate Su suddenly looked a little embarrassed. After a long time, he coughed twice and said, "As a father, I heard what my friends said..."
Xu Qing: "..."
Later, Xu Qing fulfilled the promise made by his father-in-law and took Su Qian and his father-in-law to Guiyun Tower.
Guiyun Tower is the most famous restaurant in Yongzhou City. Even if you just sit there for a while without eating anything, you will be charged.
The dishes in Guiyue Tower are also known as the delicacies of Yongzhou City.
However, Su Qian was not very happy with her meal. Apart from the lack of sweet and sour short ribs in Guiyunlou's dishes, the taste was not as delicious as Xu Qing's.
While eating, Su Qian couldn't help but look at Xu Qing several times.
Where did he develop his cooking skills? Is it really because he was the only one in the family that he developed his good cooking skills?
But no matter how hard you cook alone, you won’t be able to cook better than the most famous restaurant in Yongzhou City, right?
Could it be that he happens to have extraordinary talents in this field?
No, no, he has extraordinary talents in solving crimes, extraordinary talents in poetry, extraordinary talents in law, and is proficient in cooking and business...
If you are so good in all aspects, can you still say that you are talented in this field?
He...what else doesn't he know?
…
After Xu Qing took a law class, the efficiency of various county offices around Yongzhou City also increased rapidly, and the number of cases was greatly reduced. Although it is still far from the efficiency of Yong'an County, this is already a gratifying thing.
Already.
After all, not everyone is like Magistrate Su, who has a law-maker standing next to him for consultation at any time.
The governor was extremely happy to see such a scene. If the prince came down to check on the people's sentiments, he would also be very happy.
The same is true for local officials. After all, these are real political achievements! They are important evidence for career advancement.
The most depressing person was Xu Sima. Ever since he came out of Guiyue Tower that day, he could clearly feel the alienation from his superior, the Governor.
Originally, he wanted to embarrass the Su family's son-in-law at the banquet at Guiyue Tower. Unexpectedly, not only did he not embarrass this man, but it was actually self-defeating and made Xu Qing's reputation rise.
But the governor was extremely embarrassed at this banquet because of his gaffe.
Is it because of this incident that the governor treats himself like this?
Offending Shangguan is not a wise choice. Xu Sima is already considering whether to prepare a generous gift to make amends or something...
…
When Xu Qing arrived at the shop in the afternoon, Xiao Ruxue jumped over and saw her sitting at the table in Xu Qing's room, holding her chin in her hands, looking at Xu Qing and saying: "Xu Qing, Xu Qing, it will be my father's birthday in a few days.
Okay, please help me give me an idea, what should I give to my father on his birthday?"
The birthday of the wise king? It’s over, it’s over, if you don’t keep it all, you have to pay out a small amount of money... which makes Xu Qing, who is already not wealthy, even worse.
Xu Qing felt that a precious daughter like Xiao Ruxue would be very happy even if she was given a piece of goose feather on the birthday of Xian Wang.
At this moment, Xiao Ye pushed open the door and said, "Brother Xu, my father's birthday will be coming soon. What would be a better gift for me?"
Okay, another one...what do you think you are? Baidu? How did the two of them survive the past few years without themselves?
What should I give...Xu Qing is sure that if Xiao Ye gives Xian Wang hundreds of thousands of taels as a gift, Xian Wang will be very happy.
But...hundreds of thousands taels? The wise king has a beautiful idea!,
He wants it, but he doesn’t give it to him!
Xu Qing thought for a moment and asked, "Your Majesty, what does he like most in daily life?"
When giving gifts, they must be appropriate and cannot be given indiscriminately.
Xiao Ye said without thinking: "Leading troops to fight, going into battle to kill the enemy, and my sister..."
Xu Qing asked again: "Is there anything the prince doesn't like?"
You also need to fully understand what you don’t like, otherwise what problems will arise if you don’t keep all the details.
Xiao Ye blurted out: "Being an emperor, criticizing memorials, and me..."
Xu Qing: "..."
There is no doubt that King Xian loves Xiao Ruxue, but Xu Qing cannot package Xiao Ruxue as a gift...
So, let’s start from the battlefield.
Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ye and Xiao Ruxue and said, "What do you think of sending a copy of The Art of War?"
Xiao Ye shook his head and said: "It's useless. My father loved to read all kinds of military books since he was a child. All the military books in the world were studied repeatedly by his father in his study. He even wrote two of them himself.
Regarding the art of war, there is probably no military book in this world that my father has not read."
Xu Qing asked: "Has your father read "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu?"
Xu Qing had checked the history books, but Sun Tzu's Art of War did not appear in any history book in the world, and it was not even recorded in unofficial histories.
Either Sun Tzu in this world never wrote a military book at all, or he wrote it but lost it with the change of dynasties.
Xiao Ye thought for a while and said: "I have never heard of this military book in this world, and I have never seen it on my father's bookshelf. Which dynasty was the military book that Brother Xu mentioned was written? Brother Xu
Do you have this book on the Art of War at home?"
Xu Qing said: "I don't have a book written by the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods at home, but I have read this book and can write it silently."
Xiao Ruxue asked doubtfully: "Have you read this book on The Art of War? You don't have it at home. Where did you read it?"
Xu Qing sighed and said: "I saw it at home when I was a child, and then..."
Xiao Ruxue asked curiously: "What happened next?"
Xu Qing said: "Later... I didn't bring toilet chips with me when I went to the toilet, so I made do with that book..."
Xiao Ruxue: "..."
Xiao Ye: "..."
Xu Qing coughed and said, "But it doesn't matter. I have a photographic memory and can remember everything I read. The three of us will work together to write a military book and send it to you. Maybe the prince will like it."
Xiao Ruxue said: "I'll write it for you."
Xu Qing admired Xiao Ruxue's sensibleness and said, "Then I will help you sharpen your ink."
Xiao Ye thought for a while: "How about I take the responsibility of getting you paper?"
