Chapter 417 Meeting Hu Chong
Seeing that they were all strangers, Xiao Si immediately came up to recommend a few dishes to them. Xu Miaomiao accepted all of them and ordered a few dishes that Song Weiwei, Erbao and Xiaobao liked according to their tastes.
He put away the menu and waited aside.
Everyone was talking and laughing. When she moved today, she had sent someone to deliver a letter to Song Wushao and Xu Qingshan, so it was not surprising at all that they would appear in the new home.
"Oh, I didn't expect that Mr. Song would come here to eat."
Suddenly a voice broke the silence. Everyone looked in the direction he was looking and saw Hu Chong walking towards them with a swagger behind him.
They were originally staying in a private hall, and because they arrived late, there were no private rooms. However, they were just there to have a meal, so they didn't think of booking a private room. When he saw the two of them running over, Song Wushao frowned subconsciously, but Hu Chong did not act as if he didn't see him, and walked straight towards him.
When Hu Chong saw Xu Miaomiao, he was a little surprised. He pretended to be shocked and said, "Madam Xu? It turns out that you and Mr. Song are actually husband and wife. I am ignorant. But think about it, someone as powerful as Madam Xu must have an even more powerful husband!"
When Xu Miaomiao heard this, she remained silent, slowly stood up, and saluted the man: "Greetings, Mr. Hu."
Hu Chong was amused by Xu Miaomiao's respectful look. Instead, he waved his hand indifferently and said, "Alright, alright. We are not in the government office now, so don't be so polite to me. But what? You deserve praise for this. Since you haven't forgotten it after such a long time, I still remember how you tamed the horse. How about the land I rewarded you?"
Hu Chong raised his eyebrows. Xu Miaomiao remained silent. Seeing that he didn't say anything, he did give him a piece of land out of gratitude to Xu Miaomiao. Now shrimps are indeed grown on that piece of land, but later the land was abandoned and nothing has been done since. However, Hu Chong's words today reminded her.
Hu Chong had wanted to take back the land before, but failed. I wonder what he is thinking this time.
As expected, when Xu Miaomiao looked up again, she saw the man next to her step forward and say, "County Magistrate, what are you talking about? Which territory in Bai County is not yours? Even if it is Madam Xu, Madam Xu must be looking after it on your behalf. When you want it, Madam Xu, will she not give it to you?"
Xu Miaomiao raised her eyebrows, neither agreeing nor refusing.
Seeing her ambiguous attitude, Hu Chong stepped forward and said, "Madam Xu, is that right?"
Xu Miaomiao smiled slightly.
Song Wu Shao immediately stood up, saluted to the person in front of him, and said, "It's a crime. Let's not discuss these things while we are eating. My two children at home haven't eaten for a long time. Why don't we eat?"
Hu Chong smiled disapprovingly, waved his hand at Song Wushao, and said, "Mr. Song, I am talking to your wife now. If you want to talk to me, you will have a chance to talk to me tomorrow. Let me talk to your wife first. Mr. Song, are you jealous?"
Xu Miaomiao hated to see people talking about Song Wushao in front of her, so she immediately stepped forward and said, "Mr. Hu, we are not in the government office today. So I will call you this."
Without waiting for Hu Chong's agreement, Xu Miaomiao spoke up again, "When I tamed the horse for you, you were so happy that you gave me a piece of good land. Although the land is not big, it is really very good. Speaking of this, I haven't thanked Magistrate Hu properly yet."
"Miao Miao will offer a toast to County Magistrate Hu here, just as a way of thanking County Magistrate Hu for giving me that Feng Shui treasure land."
As Xu Miaomiao spoke, she raised the wine glass in her hand and handed it to the man in front of her. Her words implied that the place was already his territory, and if Hu Chong wanted to take it back, it would be impossible.
Hu Chong naturally understood the meaning behind Xu Miaomiao's words. Looking at the glass of wine in front of him, he was reluctant to drink it.
Xu Miaomiao immediately pretended to be aggrieved, looked at the man in front of her and said, "This is the wine from Zui Xiang Fang, it is very delicious. Even if Mr. Hu looks down on our wine, he will not look down on the most Zui Xiang Fang bar. Mr. Hu, please do me a favor and drink this glass with me."
Xu Miaomiao sounded more and more pitiful as she spoke. Looking at Song Wushao standing beside her, she almost laughed. Xu Miaomiao's move made her sound as weak as possible and forced the other party into a state of no return. Hu Chong was so angry when he heard this that he could only raise the wine glass in front of Xu Miaomiao and drink it all in one gulp.
He had to swallow his loss no matter what. Now this territory was Xu Miaomiao's territory. His glass of wine was tantamount to acknowledging the matter. Even though he was extremely unwilling, Hu Chong had no better way. After drinking the wine, he snorted coldly, turned his head and went upstairs to the private room.
The people behind him immediately followed and walked up. Only then did Xu Miaomiao breathe a sigh of relief and sit down.
Song Weiwei really didn't understand what was happening. She just pursed her lips and said, "Why is Hu Chong so annoying? We pushed him to this point, and he actually came to us on his own."
Madam Gu Yuan smiled but didn't take it seriously. She patted Xu Miaomiao's hand and whispered in her ear, "You still have a way."
Xu Qingshan frowned slightly, looked at Song Wushao and said, "Brother Song, Hu Chong is so aggressive. Wouldn't it be hard for you to live under him?"
When everyone heard this, there was a moment of silence. Xu Miaomiao looked at Song Wushao with some worry, but Song Wushao smiled slightly, patted Xu Miaomiao's hand, signaling her not to worry, and said, "Where have you been? We have been there before. When we were in the capital, we also made a living at the feet of the emperor. We have all been here like this, and officials should be like this. The more this is the case, the more interesting it is, isn't it?"
Xu Qingshan burst out laughing when he heard this, and clasped his fists towards Song Wushao: "As expected of you, Brother Song."
