Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Ximen Qing walked into the shop with Brother Qiao Yun with great interest, occupied a table to eat meat and drink.Ximenqing took a rest here, and quietly experienced the new atmosphere of Dashu Cross Slope.

Lizheng opened a store in that place. Although it was a bit greedy, the wine and food sold were a bit more expensive than other places. Fortunately, the wine was clear and the meat was fragrant, and there were no other problems, so people could enjoy it with confidence.

Seeing the passing pedestrians coming in and out, talking and laughing as they stepped forward, Ximen Qing was filled with joy.

Who would have thought that two months ago, Shizipo would be occupied by two notorious monsters, "Her Yaksha" Sun Erniang and "Vegetable Garden" Zhang Qing, killing countless people here?

Thousands of sails pass by the side of the sunken boat, Wan Muchun in front of the sick tree.Today, Cross Slope is a new look.

More than a month ago, I got rid of Sun Erniang and Zhang Qing here, and I did the right thing!Looking at the scene in front of him, he can be considered to have returned the peace of the land and water.

After eating and drinking, Ximen Qing and Brother Qiao Yun paid for the wine, went out to lead the horses, and headed straight for Mengzhou Ridge.

Because the two of Ximen Qing rode horses and traveled very fast, and there was little delay on the road, they unexpectedly caught up with Jiao Ting and the others in front of Zhangjiazhuang.A group of more than 20 people drove more than a dozen carriages into Zhangjiazhuang.

Zhang Taigong and his wife were very happy to see their son-in-law coming back in such a grand manner.

After traveling this way, everyone in the neighborhood must know that Zhangjiazhuang has recruited a good son-in-law!I look at the surrounding villages in the future, who would dare to underestimate my Zhangjiazhuang.

Zhang Taigong held a grand banquet in the village, and invited all his relatives and friends to welcome Ximen Qing and his party.

During the banquet, Jiao Ting brought many gifts to his wife, Zhang Taigong and his wife, and other relatives in the family, which made them all smile and praised Zhang Taigong for recruiting a good son-in-law.

The little lady of the Zhang family also followed Jiao Ting with a happy face, saluting and saying hello to her relatives and friends.

Holding the wine glass, Tang Long said to Ximen Qing: "Brother, I'm afraid Brother Jiao Ting will lose weight again this time when he returns to Zhangjiazhuang."

Hearing this, Ximen Qing gave Tang Mazi a hard look, and said to him, "Brother, stop talking nonsense, aren't you jealous of Brother Jiao Ting again? It's really hard to make progress! Well, this time back to Yanggu County, brother and I Let me talk about a marriage with you, and marry a good woman for you."

Tang Long was overjoyed when he heard this. He drank the wine in his glass and asked Ximen Qing, "Brother is really a brother! I know brother's pain! Brother, when shall we go back to Yanggu?"

Tang Long is really impatient!

Ximenqing and others stayed in Zhangjiazhuang for a few days, then said goodbye to Zhang Taigong's family and set off for Yanggu County.

Because there are two family members, the young lady of the Zhang family and Yulan, Ximen Qing and the others still use the carriage, and it took a little longer to bypass Centipede Ridge and continue eastward.

After leaving Mengzhou, Ximenqing and his party entered Yanggu County, Yunzhou after spending more than 20 days overnight on the road.I saw a high mountain in the distance, Dulong Mountain has arrived.

This time, Ximenqing learned from the past and led the team directly to Hujiazhuang in Dulonggang.

Passing through Dulonggang, if you don't go to meet "Yizhangqing" Hu Sanniang and "Flying Tiger" Hu Cheng, these two bosses first, I'm afraid they will have another trouble.

That Hu Sanniang is a savage woman who is not afraid of anything, likes to do whatever she wants, and her brother Hu Cheng is always helping her.

If Hu Sanniang knew that Ximenqing's convoy was sneaking past Dulonggang, there was no guarantee that she and Hu Cheng would not bring dozens of dealers pretending to be robbers to block the road and rob.

Therefore, Ximen Qing asked Brother Qiao Yun to lead someone to take a step ahead to report to Hujiazhuang, and then he led a large group of people to Dulonggang slowly.

In Hu's Manor, the old lady Hu and Hu Cheng were overjoyed when they learned that Ximen Qing's officials had returned to Yanggu from Bianliang, Tokyo, and came to visit Hu's Manor on the way.

Mrs. Hu hastily assigned people to tidy up inside and outside, prepare the banquet, and busily prepared to clean up the house and greet her.

Hu Cheng went to Hu Sanniang's yard with a smile on his face, and wanted to tell Hu Sanniang the good news first.

Walking into Hu Sanniang's courtyard, Hu Cheng looked around, but saw two stone locks leaning against the courtyard wall, and Hu Sanniang was nowhere to be seen.

In the past at this time, Hu Sanniang would often lift stone locks in this courtyard to exercise her strength, but today it was rare to see such a quiet place in the small courtyard.

Hu Cheng walked through the small courtyard and entered the small building where Hu Sanniang lived, and asked the maid at the door, "Where is my sister?"

"Master Shao, Miss is studying painting in the house." The servant girl replied.

Huh!My girl has always only liked to fight and kill, why did she change her temper today?

Hu Cheng made a silent gesture to the maid, walked over with light steps, and peeked inward.

I saw Hu Sanniang sitting in front of the desk, holding a brush in her hand, looking at the paper in front of her in a daze.

Hu Sanniang was stunned for a while, then smeared a few strokes on the paper with a brush.Xu Shi was not very satisfied, so she put down the brush again, grabbed the piece of paper, tore it to pieces, crumpled it up and threw it on the ground.

Hu Cheng looked to the ground, and on the floor next to Hu Sanniang, there were more than a dozen balls of paper lying scatteredly.It seems that my sister has destroyed more than ten paintings!

Hu Cheng held back his smile, walked in with a cough, and said to Hu Sanniang: "Sister, I have some good news for you, that Ximen Dalang has returned from Bianliang, Tokyo, and will come to our village today."

When Hu Sanniang heard this, she threw away the writing brush in her hand, stood up and asked joyfully, "Brother, are you serious? Is Dalang really back? Yes! He's been here for so long, so he should be back."

Hu Cheng smiled and said: "Sister, go with brother, we will go out of the village together to pick up Ximen Dalang."

When Hu Sanniang heard the words, she raised her feet and was about to walk out.But she suddenly remembered something, stopped her pace again, and said to Hu Cheng: "Brother, go and pick up Ximen Dalang! My sister is a little tired and needs to rest for a while. After the banquet starts, you will send someone to tell me , I will meet him at a feast."

When Hu Cheng heard this, he was very puzzled, wondering why his younger sister changed her mind again.He had no choice but to go out of Hu Sanniang's courtyard alone to meet Ximen Qing and his party outside the village.

Ximen Qing brought the convoy to the outside of Hu's Village, and saw that "Flying Tiger" Hu Cheng had already led many people along the way to welcome him.Brother Qiao Yun also stood beside Hu Cheng to welcome him together.

Strange, why don't you see that Hu Sanniang?

Chapter 1: There Are Thieves in the House

For some reason, Ximen Qing was still a little disappointed when he didn't see Hu Sanniang in the welcoming team.

Ximen Qing jumped off the horse and clasped fists with Hu Cheng to salute.After Hu Cheng exchanged pleasantries with Ximen Qing, Jiao Ting and Tang Long, he enthusiastically led Ximen Qing and others into Dezhuang.

At this time in Hu's Manor, Mrs. Hu had already arranged for the servants to prepare a sumptuous banquet, and was waiting for Ximen to celebrate them.

Ximen Qing went forward to meet the old man Hu with the respect of a younger generation, and gave the old man a gift specially selected by him in Bianliang, Tokyo.The old man stroked his beard and laughed happily. The more he looked at Ximen Dalang, the more he liked him.

Hu Cheng also received the gift from Ximen Qing, and happily dragged Ximen Qing to the table.

Ximen Qing still didn't see Hu Sanniang in the hall, he was so puzzled, he couldn't help asking Hu Cheng, "Brother Hu Cheng, why didn't you see Sanniang?"

Hu Cheng replied: "Brother Ximen, my younger sister felt unwell today, so she couldn't come out to meet brother. I have arranged someone to inform her, and she will come here to attend the banquet later."

Did I hear you right? That healthy Hu Sanniang will also get sick?

Ximenqing hurriedly asked Hu Cheng, what's wrong with Sanniang?

Hu Cheng told Ximen Qing that Hu Sanniang was fine, so he didn't need to worry.After speaking, he took Ximen Qing to his seat.

At this moment, something caught the attention of everyone in Hujiazhuang.

I saw two beautiful female relatives coming out of the carriage, a young lady followed Jiao Ting, and the other followed Ximen Qing step by step.

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and Hu Cheng's face darkened even more.When the Ximen official left Dulonggang, he did not bring his female relatives with him.Now returning from Bianliang, Tokyo, with such a beautiful girl, she is really romantic!

Ximen officials are flirtatious, so why dare to bring people to my Hujiazhuang? I don’t know who this little lady is now from Ximen officials. If my younger sister Sanniang sees it later, won’t there be many troubles?

When Hu Cheng saw his father, the old man also put away his smile. The scene was quite embarrassing, so he coughed and asked Ximen Qing, "Brother Ximen, who is the little lady behind you?"
