Chapter 149: Cut off the chicken head again and burn yellow paper
"Don't worry, Third Brother. What happened?"
Old Master Xu acted like an elder brother and immediately grabbed Zuo Qiu.
Zuo Qiu made a bitter face, sighed, and said, "Master Fu Zun is going to visit a friend in Anshun County this afternoon. I've been delayed!"
As the saying goes, a county magistrate is not as good as the current manager.
Even though Zuo Qiu and Yan Jing were sworn brothers, Xiangyi Prefecture Governor Shen Wansheng was his immediate superior, meaning he was in charge. Who would be happy if the governor came to my territory and I disappeared?
"Second brother, it's up to you!"
After listening to Zuo Qiu's words, Mr. Xu turned to look at Yan Jing.
Yan Jing was still a little dizzy. He looked at Old Man Xu and said, "Brother, what are you looking at me for?"
"As for the Third Brother, didn't you take him out for a drink and get him drunk?"
"Is it me?"
Yan Jing scratched his head and tried to think carefully, but he couldn't remember anything.
Boss Xu next to him glanced at his father and said nothing knowing the situation.
Was he trying to undermine his own father? He was saying the three of them got drunk because his father insisted on getting drunk with his two sworn brothers?
If he really said it, then he must be feeling itchy!
"That's you!"
Old Master Xu cleared his throat and said, "Second brother, as the eldest brother, I have to talk to you about this!"
"You can't drink like this anymore! You absolutely can't drink like this anymore!"
"Oh, and Third Brother, you need to drink less too!"
"You guys can't even handle this much alcohol!"
Old Master Xu looked disdainful and said, "From now on, when we brothers drink, you two can only have one jar of wine at most, no more!"
"Brother, you are absolutely right!"
"It was my fault for being reckless!"
Yan Jing was an honest man. He knew that he couldn't drink much, so he accepted Mr. Xu's criticism very respectfully.
What can Zuoqiu say?
He has delayed the important event of welcoming the prefect, and he still has the nerve to say that he can drink?
In the end, Yan Jing decided to take the blame and help Zuo Qiu resolve the bad impression he had left on his immediate superior.
But what no one expected was that just when they had agreed on everything.
Xu Laosan arrived at the Xu family's restaurant, accompanied by Shen Wansheng, the prefect of Xiangyi Prefecture.
"Master Fu Zun, what are you doing...?!"
Seeing Shen Wansheng appear here, Zuo Qiu was confused.
Shen Wansheng laughed and said, "It's Dingshan. I was wondering why I didn't see you at the county government office. It turns out you're here!"
"Prefect Shen, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you doing lately?"
While Zuo Qiu was talking to Shen Wansheng, Yan Jing, who took the initiative to take responsibility, turned around from behind with a slightly embarrassed expression.
"Master Yan?!"
Seeing Yan Jing, Shen Wansheng was also quite confused.
"Aren't you back in Beijing?"
Yan Jing was even more embarrassed and whispered, "Pass the order, pass the order!"
"deliver an imperial order?!"
Shen Wansheng was even more confused. What kind of decree was this and why didn't he receive any news at all?
Yan Jing could only recount the whole story, and took the blame for why Zuo Qiu didn't wait for Shen Wansheng to come to the county government office.
"I see!"
Shen Wansheng finally understood.
Then, he also greeted Mr. Xu solemnly.
Although Xiaoyilang is only of the seventh rank, he is of noble character and was conferred by imperial decree, so he must be respected.
As for the friend that Shen Wansheng came to visit, it was surprisingly Xu Laosan.
When Shen Wansheng learned about the sworn brotherhood between Mr. Xu, Yan Jing and Zuo Qiu, Shen Wansheng immediately asked shamelessly, could he be counted as one?
Can I?
It must be possible!
After all, he is the prefect of Xiangyi Prefecture, a real local official.
Seeing that Shen Wansheng had become the second among the four sworn brothers, Xu Laosan felt a little embarrassed, because not long ago, Shen Wansheng had been calling him "good brother".
But now, my dear brother has become my dear nephew!
Compared to Xu Lao San's embarrassment, Shen Wansheng was extremely grateful, thankful that he had come at the right time. Otherwise, he would have been a generation younger than he was. Isn't that embarrassing?
Next to them, the brothers Xu Lao Da and Xu Lao Er looked at each other and went to catch chickens again.
Under the peach tree in the backyard of the restaurant, they cut off the chicken's head and burned yellow paper...
"Brother, do you want to prepare some more wine?"
Xu Laoer looked at his father who was kneeling there again to swear brotherhood, and asked in a low voice.
"Look, look again!"
Boss Xu swallowed and looked up at the sky.
