What's strange about Chapter 817?
Song Chunxue raised her hand, "This is a one-time exception. If you still want to talk about those two Taoist priests, please investigate thoroughly before you come back."
Tang Yuxiu nodded, hesitated for a long time, and then got up to say goodbye.
"The Taoist priest is right. Next time I will definitely investigate thoroughly before coming. Please forgive me."
Song Chunxue stood up. "Okay."
She looked at Wu Bing and said, "See Mrs. Tang off for me."
"Farewell." Tang Yuxiu didn't say anything more and turned to leave.
Wu Shuang stood to the side, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.
What are you trying to say?
Wu Shuang moved her lips, but still spoke in a low voice, "They all disrespected the Taoist priest, so why did they still send Madam Tang off?"
"Leave a way out for everything, so you can meet again in the future. Besides, this Mrs. Tang's attitude changed quickly. She didn't try to save face by being aggressive towards me or trying to compete with me. It's good to admit your mistakes and correct them. Whether she's sincere or just doing it as an expedient, we haven't reached the point of tearing each other apart yet. Why cut off our way out?"
"Furthermore, she and my senior brother are old friends, so I can't be too harsh on him for his sake."
As they were talking, Xie Zheng walked in.
Wu Shuang bowed to Lord Xie and tactfully left.
"How about we go to the estate outside the city? That old rascal Huang Mo really knows how to enjoy life. He even built a big courtyard by the Yellow River. I'll take you to see it."
Song Chunxue's eyes lit up. "Okay, let's go."
...
At noon, the second child couldn't wait to find the third child.
"Don't go home today. Send someone home and tell them we're going to talk to Lao Si." Jiang Yehui grabbed Sanwa's shoulder and pulled him outside before he could finish giving instructions to his subordinate.
Sanwa tugged at the collar of his round-necked robe, which was so tight it hurt his neck.
"Second brother, wait a minute, I'm almost done, just a few words, wait for me outside," Sanwa grabbed the second brother and gestured with his chin, "It's no big deal, I know what you're going to say."
The second son took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, and obediently went outside to wait.
But I was so excited that I couldn't help but want to ask him right away, so I stood outside the door with my arms crossed.
Inside the room, the men in green and blue official robes laughed, “The two of you have such a good relationship. You even go out to eat together. It’s just different from being brothers. Blood is thicker than water. You’ll never quarrel in this lifetime.”
"Sigh, unlike Brother Liu and me, we had a huge argument over a small thing last year and haven't spoken much since. It's so painful."
Sanwa Jiang Yexun laughed and said, "Why don't you just swallow your pride and beg for peace? Since it's a small matter, it means there's still room for maneuver."
"The reason why brothers can't be separated by quarrels is because one of them always has to be willing to go all out first. Don't worry too much about gains and losses; that's how friendship lasts. Don't you think so?"
As he spoke, Sanwa took out a few taels of silver from his pocket and handed them over, saying, "Consider it my treat for you brothers to drink. Are you just trying to save face and suffer for it? Just tell them that I want you to make up. I felt something was off with you guys last time, and it turns out you were having a falling out."
"How could I let you pay for this? I can go by myself."
Sanwa stopped him, "The steps, the third person laid them, so it wasn't so hard for either of you. If you want to thank me, just buy me a drink next time."
“You’re right, sir. After we make up, I’ll invite you to go to the west of the city to eat mutton head and trotters next time. Their mutton head is the best in the city, the taste is absolutely amazing.”
Sanwa put down the folded paper, smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll wait."
He gave his subordinates a few important instructions and then left the room.
The second brother's mood calmed down a bit, and he followed behind him, saying sarcastically, "I didn't realize you were so good at dealing with people now. You used to have a mouth that was made of iron, but now you get along well with your colleagues."
"People always have to learn to be flexible." Sanwa stepped out the door. "You came to find me because of the sword Mother gave you, didn't you?"
The second brother lowered his voice, "This isn't the place to talk, let's go talk to the fourth brother."
Sanwa nodded, and greeted acquaintances with a smile. The two brothers had similar eyebrows and eyes, and their smiles were even more pleasing to the eye.
Someone laughed and said, "Where are you two brothers going, arm in arm? Are you sneaking off for a drink?"
"I need to talk to my fourth brother about something. Do you want a drink? He owns a tavern. I'll bring you some when I get back. What kind of wine do you like?" Sanwa turned around with a smile. "Want some snacks to go with your drinks?"
"Easy, easy, I was just asking casually, I didn't mean to ask for a drink." The leader laughed loudly, "But if you insist on giving it to me, I'll reluctantly accept it, hahaha."
A person standing nearby chuckled and scolded, rubbing their shoulder, "Shameless! But can I have a couple of bites, haha?"
Hearing the third child's composed response, the second child looked at him with new respect.
"I never expected that the taciturn guy from before would now be so eloquent and charming." The second brother, who never usually said such things, said, "Who taught you that? None of us in the family are like that. Except for the fourth brother, we're all single-minded. When did you suddenly become so perceptive?"
Sanwa smiled and said, "I've learned my lesson after a few setbacks. Master Xie gave me some pointers, and Fourth Brother also said that you have to be flexible when you're in a crowd. You can't be ungrateful. Once you get to this point, being tactful in your dealings with people is much more useful than what you read in books. Oh, and I should also read more of Sun Tzu's Art of War."
The second brother slapped him on the back of the head, "You're quite the expert."
Then they came to the street and met some ordinary people.
The old man in the middle nodded to the third child from afar, "Where are you going, sir?"
"Grandpa, I'm going to eat. Have you eaten yet?"
"Not yet," the old man said, staring at the two brothers with a smile. "They look so alike, and they're so handsome. It's a pity I don't have a daughter."
Everyone laughed, waved, and went about their own business.
The second brother patted the third brother's shoulder and said, "Well done, you've impressed me. You're definitely better at dealing with people than I am. I'll learn more from you in the future."
"No, no, please don't scold me, Second Brother."
As they were talking, they arrived at the fourth brother's tavern.
The fourth brother was just about to go home.
"Why are you here?" The fourth brother slowly walked down the steps. "I'm going home to see Tian Qi. Her due date is approaching, but she hasn't gotten pregnant yet."
“We’ll go later then. I have something to tell you first,” the second brother said seriously. “Find a private room. It’s important.”
The fourth brother was skeptical, but he ordered the kitchen to cook a few dishes and went to the outermost room.
"What's going on? Why are you being so mysterious?" The fourth brother pulled up a stool and sat down. "What's wrong? Are you two planning to sneak off to brothels behind your wives' backs?"
"Go away, I'm newly married, can't you wish me some good things?" The second brother took out a short sword and said seriously, "Your sister-in-law and I are getting along very well."
"Why are you carrying a knife?" The fourth brother took out his dagger. "Is something fishy going on?"
Sanwa also took out his short sword and placed it on the table. "There's something fishy about this. When I was practicing my sword last night, I discovered that he could fly."
“Mine is amazing too,” the second brother said in a low voice. “It even slapped me in the face because I accidentally dropped it on the ground.”
"..." The fourth brother and the third brother exchanged a glance but did not speak.
They were also affected.
