Chapter 108 108: Meeting the Enemy [Requesting Monthly Ticket]
When I returned to the room, I found signs of being disturbed.
Only one piece of waste paper for calligraphy practice is missing.
Qi Shan didn't know what he thought of, and a disdainful and contemptuous sneer escaped from the corner of his lips. His eyes were cold and murderous.
Blinked and returned to expressionless.
Meow~~~
The little plain merchant pulled at the hem of his clothes.
As soon as he lowered his head, he ran into those wet aqua eyes. The owner of these eyes was meowing softly, as if asking where Qishan had been all day. Qi Shan bent down to pick it up, smiled and touched Su Shang's little nose with the tip of his nose.
"Su Shang, have you missed your father?"
The cat couldn't understand human speech, so it just scratched his sleeve with its paws.
Qi Shan laughed dumbly: "Okay, okay, you have a good nose. You can smell it anywhere. Eat, eat, and don't disturb daddy for now. Tomorrow, daddy will take you to live in the new house."< br>
As he spoke, he took out the dried fish he bought at the market from his sleeve.
Qi Shan shoveled Su Shang's shit first, and then packed his bags.
As soon as the luggage was tied, panicked footsteps came from outside the house, and the old woman said urgently: "Qi Langjun, something is wrong——"
"What's wrong?"
The old woman was so anxious that she was sweating on her forehead.
Took Qi Shan’s wrist to send him to the back door.
"A group of people came outside the house, asking for the husband by name."
Qishan pulled his hand back, failed once and tried again, but it still didn't work, so he had to say: "Mo want You are in a hurry, old lady, please relax and tell the people outside the house, let me change my clothes.”
The old woman was so anxious that she wanted to stamp her feet, but she also knew that the person who came was not good, and there was probably someone blocking the back door. . I had no choice but to follow Qi Shan's instructions. The visitor said it was okay: "Mr. Qi can come out as soon as he wants."
If you don't come out, don't blame them for being rude.
The people he brought were all brave and courageous warriors. The lowest was a low-ranking official, and the highest was a fifth-class doctor, a guest minister with a high salary from the county government. This private house has been surrounded by layers of layers. It is guaranteed that not even a mosquito can fly out, let alone a living person!
About a quarter of an hour later, Qi Shan returned to his familiar appearance. He specially wore a tea-white Confucian shirt, a jade crown on his head, and a dark green inscription on his waist. As soon as he appeared, dozens of auras locked him, and Su Shang in his arms immediately let out a shrill scream.
Feeling that Su Shang was uneasy and hairy under his palm, Qi Shan put away his smile, his starry eyes suddenly turned cold, and his tone was cold: "Please calm down your momentum, don't scare my family Su. Shang."
"Are you Mr. Qishan, Qi Yuanliang?"
"Yes, which family are you from? How can you invite someone without even sending a greeting card? Is this the rules and etiquette taught by your mansion?"
"The younger one is a steward serving the county government. The master's order, sir, please come and tell me." This man's attitude was very low. But the domineering posture and the disdain in his eyebrows clearly did not mean this, "Please move forward, sir."
Qi Shan sneered: "Okay, please lead the way."
The housekeeper was shocked. , It seems that he didn’t expect Qi Shan to be so easy to talk to.
According to the attitude of the county governor, the "prayer for good" he wanted to invite should not be a good person. I have served the county magistrate for so many years, and I have never seen the county magistrate be so jealous of someone, and he can't wait to have all the thorns in his body stand up.
Not long after, the sedan stopped in front of the county mansion.
Under the guidance of the maid, we walked through the nine-winding corridor and finally arrived at our destination. From a distance, you can see the candles in the hall are brightly lit, the sweet silk and bamboo are blowing into Qi Shan's ears in the wind, and there is a slight smile on the lips with a hint of sarcasm.
The housekeeper walked quickly and prayed for good fortune before entering the hall.
Si Zhu stopped and the singing and dancing exited.
Qishan walked into the main hall, walked around the screen, and took in the expressions of everyone in the hall. The person sitting at the top is none other than the Sheriff of Sibao County, praying for good to an old enemy. Six guest seats, five unfamiliar faces. Judging by their dress and age, most of the five people were from local aristocratic families and celebrities in Xiaocheng. Their only acquaintance was Zhai Le's cousin, Zhai Huan.
The latter also looked at him in surprise.
Qi Shan nodded slightly at him as a greeting.
Zhai Huan smiled back.
"The common people pray for good things, pray for Yuanliang, and have seen the county governor."
Qishan turned his attention to the county governor of Sibao County on the main seat.
There were small discussions in the hall. Everyone was puzzled that the distinguished guest that the county governor solemnly invited turned out to be a strange civilian scribe, who looked nothing special.
The county guard's gaze swept across the inscription on Qishan's waist. The dark cyan monogram was particularly eye-catching against the brown-white hem. His eyes stagnated for a moment, then turned to Qi Shan's face, without any trace of familiarity. He hesitated: "Your name is Qi Shan, and your courtesy name is Yuan Liang?"
Qi Shan bowed his head respectfully: "That's right."< br>
“Sir, can you come forward?”
Qi Shan took another ten steps forward and was only a few steps away from the county guard. He raised his head generously. Su Shang in his arms poked his head out curiously, looked at it and then retracted his head.
The county guard's pupils shrank when he saw Su Shang.
"Is this the raccoon slave you raised?"
Qi Shan smiled and said: "Exactly."
Xu heard the familiar pronunciation, and Su Shang also meowed. He whimpered in response, and the room fell silent, as if the mute button had been pressed.
They didn't expect anyone to bring a cat to the Sheriff's banquet.
The county magistrate asked a few more questions, such as where they were, how old they were, and the number of people in the family. The others became more and more confused as they listened. They couldn't understand what the county magistrate was up to, and couldn't help but murmur - the cross-examination was so clear, is the magistrate planning to protect Qishan's matchmaking?
At this time, a big orange cat jumped out of nowhere and moved flexibly towards Qishan, startling everyone.
“This is...”
“Where did the cat come from?”
The maid was also frightened and almost knocked over the fruit plate that was brought to her.
Qishan said: "Nothing, nothing."
He took out two small dried fish from his sleeves.
"Probably attracted by the smell of the grass people's sleeves."
The county governor saw with his own eyes that Qishan's hand came into contact with the fur of the big orange cat. Qishan had no reaction, so he He restrained his anger, scolded the maid for looking after the cat, frightened the distinguished guests, and asked people to take the big orange cat down, and invited Qi Shan to sit down at the table.
"I wonder why the county magistrate invited the common people to come here?"
"I have admired Mr.'s paintings for a long time."
Prayer smiled meaningfully.
"The paintings of grassroots people?"
He has been writing for many years, and his latest painting is a picture of a secret play that he helped Shen Xiaolangjun catch a knife to paint for him. Do you admire such a painting?
"I see you occasionally, and I like you very much. I heard that your husband was passing through Xiaocheng, so I took the offense to visit you and wanted to ask for a calligraphy treasure. However, the people below may have misunderstood. If there is any inconsideration, please forgive me."
Qi Shan stood up, looking flattered.
The two exchanged polite greetings again.
After hearing that Qishan said that he was planning to leave Xiaocheng in the next two days, the county governor took advantage of the situation and made a request, hoping that Qishan could paint on the spot, which granted him one of his wishes. If he is willing, he will be offered a large amount of gold, and he will be polite at first until he sees a plate of gold ingots brought by the maid.
His eyes lit up and he changed his mind and agreed.
The other guests saw this and curled their lips in disdain.
No matter how good their painting skills are, they are greedy for money and are filled with the stench of worldliness. They hardly have any aura. I really don’t know what the governor is trying to do.
What is the governor planning?
He didn’t know what he was trying to do.
The man he knew had a surname of Qi, a given name of Shan, a character named Yuanliang, a tea-white monogram with a literary heart, a rich and handsome appearance, a graceful and graceful figure, a reserved and arrogant temperament, and not a grain of sand in his eyes. , the most intolerant of others trampling on his paintings with money.
The most important thing is——
I am naturally afraid of cats, and will get red rashes all over my body when being approached by a cat slave.
In severe cases, it may even lead to shock and death.
This is a disease brought from the mother's womb and there is no cure.
