Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Hu Sanniang said to the stunned Ximen Qing: "Hehe~ Dalang, it's not that Sanniang deliberately teased you, it's because I'm inconvenient now, so I had to end here. Dalang, you have seen what you want to see, you can go back to bed. "

After hearing this, Ximen Qing was very troubled.Hu Sanniang, you speak lightly!Go back, how do I go back? Officer, I’m on edge right now, I can’t even lift my pants up, how do you want me to go back?

Things are so weird today!Ximen Qing thought that in the past, Hu Sanniang would take the initiative to seek her to have an affair, but today she did not act.

I came to her door tonight, if it was the past, Hu Sanniang would have rushed up and galloped on her horse.

Ximenqing knew something was wrong, so he grabbed Hu Sanniang and questioned her carefully.

Hu Sanniang saw that Ximen Qing was pestering endlessly, so she said to him: "Da Lang, I'm happy! If you keep pestering me, I won't care about your child!"

What? Did I hear correctly? Hu Sanniang is pregnant with my Ximen Qing's child? Could it be the cause and effect planted during the last time I raced with horses in the cave?

Ximen Qing was both surprised and happy, hurriedly and carefully took care of Hu Sanniang and sat down, and asked her how she was, very caring.

Ximenqing also blamed Hu Sanniang for not stating the matter earlier, so that he didn't know about it just now, and some of his actions were quite crude, almost bad things.

The two snuggled together and talked about love, Ximen Qing sent Hu Sanniang to the bedroom to rest, and then went back to the house and returned to the room where he was staying.

Ximen Qing was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

I never thought that Hu Sanniang would be pregnant with my child!After leaving Yanggu for so long, I don't know what happened to Li Jiaojiao and Zhang Xixi, will they also be pregnant?

For the excited Ximen Qing, this night was really a sleepless night.

……

Thousands of miles away in Bianliang, Tokyo, in Li Shishi's house on Xiaoyu Street, Song Huizong was nervously waiting for the results of the imperial physician's diagnosis of Li Shishi.

Ever since he sneaked out of his busy schedule last month and rushed to Li Shishi's house to have a tryst with her at noon, Song Huizong hadn't been to Xiaoyu Street for a month.

Occasionally today, Song Huizong pretended to be a white-clothed scholar and went out of the palace to find Li Shishi to have an affair.

Unexpectedly, Song Huizong arrived at Li Shishi's house, but found that Li Shishi was dying of illness, so he couldn't cheer up to drink and have fun with him.

Song Huizong hurriedly asked the eunuch to call the imperial physician to diagnose and treat Li Shishi.

After the imperial physician took Li Shishi's pulse, he was taken aback, and hurried out to report to Song Huizong, saying that Li Shishi already had a happy pulse, and it was estimated from the pulse condition that it had been about a month.

Song Huizong thought about it, about a month, isn't that the day when I came here to have a good time with Li Shishi last time?

Song Huizong walked into the room alone, whispered a few words with Li Shishi, and he walked out proudly after getting an affirmative answer.

Master Li, don't worry, I will definitely give you a good home.

The next day, regardless of everyone's dissuasion, Song Huizong brought Li Shishi, the oiran of the Bianliang brothel singing prostitutes in Tokyo, into the palace, and canonized Li Shishi as Li Mingfei.

Chapter 1 Reunited with Jiang Menshen

After Ximen Qing woke up from sleep, he made a decision to propose marriage to Mrs. Hu, to pre-determine the marriage with Hu Sanniang, and to invite someone to come and make an appointment after returning to Yanggu County.

Hu Taigong had long regarded Ximen Qing as his son-in-law, and when he heard that Ximen Qing proposed marriage, he agreed wholeheartedly and was extremely pleased.After the always savage Hu Sanniang learned about Ximen Qing's proposed marriage, she did not object and agreed to the marriage.

Now in Yanggu County, no one knows that Ximen Qing is the richest and most powerful official.In addition, Ximen Qing is young and handsome, and his daughter likes it too, so Mrs. Hu is very satisfied with this marriage.

Only Ximen Dalang has the means to restrain my willful Sanniang!Although the three virtuous nephews in Zhujiazhuang are close, they can't control my daughter, and they are not a good match for San Niang.

When Mrs. Hu thought of her three virtuous nephews, the three Zhu brothers from Zhujiazhuang were riding towards Hujiazhuang on horseback.

Brothers Jiao Ting, Tang Long and others congratulated Ximen Qing upon learning of his engagement to Hu Sanniang.The well-behaved Yulan also ran to congratulate Hu Sanniang, talking and laughing with Hu Sanniang, like sisters.

Because Ximen Qing was about to leave, Hu Cheng prepared several carts of mountain goods for Ximen Qing, and sent someone to escort Ximen Qing's team to Yanggu County.

Just when Ximen Qing and his party were about to leave, the three Zhu brothers arrived.The three brothers heard that Ximen Qing had returned from Bianliang, Tokyo, and settled in Hujiazhuang, so they came here to meet Ximen Qing.

Seeing that Ximen Qing was about to leave, the three brothers from the Zhu family couldn't help holding Ximen Qing back, asking Ximen Qing to stay in Zhujiazhuang for a day's rest before leaving Dulonggang tomorrow.

Seeing the sincerity of the three Zhu family brothers, Ximen Qing followed them back to Zhujiazhuang.

After another day of feasting in Zhujiazhuang, Ximenqing and his party finally left Dulonggang, passed through Xianglinwa, and returned to Ximen Fort outside Yanggu County.

Brother Qiao Yun rode a fast horse and went back to report the news first. Ximen Qing led the convoy and drove slowly, and returned to Ximen Fort the next day.

When Ximen Qing's team appeared in front of Ximen Fort, brother-in-law Luan Tingyu, sister Ximen Xin, concubine Zhang Xixi, Brother Hong, Lu Xiaoyi, and Shi Yong all gathered outside the gate of the fort to welcome Ximen Qing and his party.

Ximen Qing jumped off the horse and brought Jiao Ting, Tang Long and Luan Tingyu to meet them one by one.

While everyone was exchanging greetings, a thunderous voice suddenly sounded: "Brother Ximen, you are back! My brother has been waiting so hard for you!"

Ximen Qing was startled when he heard this voice, and hurriedly looked up, only to see a big man walking towards him apart from the crowd.

Surprised and delighted, Ximen Qing hurried forward and said, "Brother Jiang? I'm afraid I'm not in a dream? Why are you here?"

I saw that the person who came was nine feet tall and covered in purple flesh. He was Jiang Zhongjiang, the door god that Mengzhou happy forest had met.

"Hahaha~ Brother Ximen, you are back, you made me wait so hard." Jiang Menshen laughed and walked towards Ximen Qing.

"Brother Jiang, I went to Mengzhou to look for you when I returned from Bianliang, Tokyo. I learned that you left Mengzhou and disappeared. Brother, I don't know where to look for Brother Jiang, and I don't know how safe Brother Jiang is. I feel very sorry for you. It's a longing. I didn't expect Brother Jiang to come to Yanggu, I'm really happy!" Ximen Qing held Jiang Menshen with both hands, and his joy was beyond words.

"Brother, what happened to that dog man and woman happened. My brother couldn't stay in Mengzhou, so he came to you to take refuge. Brother, are you afraid that you will be killed by your brother?" Jiang Menshen said to Ximen Qing straight to the point.

"My brother's business, isn't it my brother's business? What do I have to share with my brother? My brother can rest assured to stay here with me. I will protect my brother from being asked in Yanggu." Ximen Qing said firmly.

Because of the management of Zhang Dujian and Zhang Tuanlian, Jiang Menshen was only convicted of one crime of private fighting and wounding in Mengzhou.Therefore, the government's arrest of Jiang Menshen is only a little stricter in Mengzhou.Now that the world is full of thieves, who in other states will care about such small crimes?

Even so, Jiang Menshen is currently wanted after all, if he fled back to his hometown Yanzhou, it would be too ostentatious.Therefore, when Menshen Jiang remembered that Ximenqing was quite powerful in Yanggu County, Yunzhou, he brought a dozen apprentices to Ximenqing.

Jiang Menshen inquired all the way to Ximenbao, but Ximenqing had not returned from Bianliang, Tokyo.Luan Tingyu in the fort heard Jiang Menshen talk about his relationship with Ximen Qing in Mengzhou, and took in Jiang Menshen and his party, letting them wait for Ximen Qing's return in the fort with peace of mind.

Ximen Qing was overjoyed when he heard what Jiang Menshen said.This brother Jiang Menshen came to take refuge in him, wouldn't he have added another general?

As for the bullshit arrest warrant, it's just a piece of paper in Yanggu County, Ximen Qing is not worried at all.In Yanggu County, so many official documents were written by Ximenqing, but the county magistrate and Ximenqing had the same nostrils.

When Jiao Ting and Tang Long saw Jiang Menshen coming, they also surrounded him enthusiastically and chatted with him.

Under the leadership of Luan Tingyu, the team led by Ximen Qing all entered Ximen Fort.

According to Ximen Qing's distribution, the old supervisor Ximenfu arranged for more than a dozen craftsmen brought back by Ximen Qing to live in the castle.

After Ximenqing and his brothers feasted in Ximen Fort for two days, they returned to Yanggu County and sent gifts from Bianliang City, Tokyo to the magistrate Xianggong and the county officials.

The county magistrate and county officials benefited from Ximen Qing, so they naturally took care of Ximen Qing in everything.

Afterwards, Ximen Qing, who returned to the mansion, summoned Hu Zhengqing and others to inquire about the progress of various businesses.Because of Jiang Menshen's arrival, Ximenqing first arranged for him and Hu Zhengqing to run the wine making and selling business together.

Jiang Menshen and Hu Zhengqing have one martial art and one literary work, which happens to be a good pair of partners.Ximen Qing asked them to quickly expand the restaurant business, and open a few more large restaurants like Shiziqiao Restaurant in Fucheng and neighboring counties.
