A Clash of Gods Chapter 3: Xianleju
The next day Qi Ning slept a lot, and no one came to disturb him. It was almost noon before he was awakened by the knock on the door. Then he got up and asked, "Who is bothering Benhou?" Sleep?"
The voice of Han Shou, the new governor of Hou Fu, came from outside: "Hou Ye, Shen Hou Fu sent someone to invite Hou Ye to eat in the past. It has been waiting for a while. Will Hou Ye see you?"
Qining was stunned, thinking that the people of Shenhou House would come and invite themselves to dinner. What's the matter? Is it because of the misunderstanding that night that you have to pay apology?
He got up and opened the door. Someone had brought hot water to wait for washing and waited for it to be cleaned up before Qi Ning went out. Han Shou was waiting outside the door. When he saw Qi Ning, he respectfully said: "Hou Ye, A Qu Xiaowei came and said that it was Ximen Shenhou who sent him over to invite Hou Ye to have a meal in the past."
"Simon priest sent someone to invite you?" Qi Ning was surprised, thinking that Ximen's innocent name had heard it many times, but only heard of his name but no one, what happened in the past two days In fact, Qi Ning has actually forgotten, and did not even remember it, but he did not want Ximen Shenhou to send people over.
When I saw Qu Xiaocang, the lord of the Greed Wolf School of Shenhou Mansion, Qu Xiaocang still squinted with a cracked eye and smiled: "Hou Ye, the humble office is under the orders of the prince, and I invite him to eat. Meal."
"Shenhou is too polite." Although there was a misunderstanding that night, Qi Ning should have been out of anger, and he really didn't want to have any hatred with Shenhou.
Today Ximen priest sent Qu Xiaocang to come to meet him personally, which was considered a great face.
Although Qu Xiaocang is only a school captain, this school captain is not an ordinary school captain who can be compared.
He is one of the seven stars of the Big Dipper of Shenhou Mansion, ranking second. According to Qi Ning's understanding, in addition to Ximen God Emperor, Qu Xiaocang is the second person in Shenhou Mansion.
For such characters, Qi Ning is also as polite as possible.
"Shenhou has already prepared the wine and is waiting." Qu Xiaocang smirked: "Shenhou said, if he can't hire Houye, he will wait in front of Jinyi Hou Mansion for his inferior office. He can't follow him until he goes Go back to life, otherwise stay in front of the door."
Qing Ning laughed: "If Ben Hou does not go for three days, does Qu Xiaowei have to wait three days and three nights in front of Jinyihou Mansion?"
"If Lord Hou hopes so, humble jobs can only wait." Qu Xiaocang smiled, white and fat fat huddled together, but he did not lose his respect. Although he was fat, he felt a lot. Don't hate it, it will give people an affinity when the smile is full.
Qing Ning knows that the Shenhou Mansion respects Ximen Wuhen. Their way of doing things is carried out in a style of rivers and lakes. Since Qu Xiaocang said so, it is really possible to do like that.
Qining knew that Qu Xiaocang was a very shrewd person, but he didn’t want to embarrass him. He smiled and said, “Since Qu Xiaowei is coming in person, this hou can’t let Qu Xiaowei really wait.” Q Tao: "This is the time to eat. Are we going to be late at this time?"
He had been to Shenhou Mansion. Shenhe Mansion really had some roads away from Jinyihou Mansion. It would take about half an hour to pass by car.
Qu Xiaocang said with a smile: "Thank you Hou Ye for the appreciation of your face. Hou Ye rest assured that the prince said, no matter how late, he will wait, and the prince does not live in the princely palace, in fact not far from here."
"Oh?"
"Shenhou Mansion is the place to go. The princes have lived in the sect princes for a long time, but since..... hey, since the death of the priest, the sect priest moved out of the sect. I bought a small yard near here,” Qu Xiaocang explained: “Shenhou is a man of great affection. His old man and his wife lived in Shenhou Mansion for many years. After the teacher’s death, he saw things and thought about people, I just left."
Qining nodded slightly.
The place where Ximen Shenhou lived is not far away. In fact, it is only three streets away from Jinyihou Mansion, and walks along an alley to the end. It is the courtyard where Ximen Shenhou lives, and there is a piece hanging on the door. The simple plaque is written with the words "Xian Le Ju".
The yard is not big, but there are some flowers and plants in the yard. In the deep winter season, most of the flowers and plants have withered, but a piece of bamboo in the corner of the yard is raw and lush, which adds a touch of anger to the bleak winter. .
Duan Canghai followed the escort, but when he arrived outside the courtyard, Qu Xiaocang only asked Qi Ning to come in. He was himself, and he only stayed outside the courtyard with Duan Canghai.
Qing Ning knows that Ximen Wuhen is not only the leader of the Shenhou Palace, but also has an extraordinary position on the rivers and lakes. He is also one of the four masters of art, and is a top painter.
The courtyard is very clean. Three very simple houses. If Qu Xiaocang did not lead the way, Qi Ning really suspected that he had gone wrong.
Suddenly a "thorn" sound rang from a small house on the side. When I looked over, I saw the rooftop smoke, which seemed to be a kitchen.
He was curious and walked over to look inside. It turned out to be a kitchen built with earthen stoves. He saw a half-old man holding a spatula in hand and frying at the pot. The scent of the vegetables came tangy, and the old man was skilled, and at first glance was the old cook.
"Excuse me, can the prince be there?" Qi Ning asked at the man.
The man raised his head, saw Qi Ning, and immediately smiled: "Wait!" The fried dishes were filled up and put into the plate. Then he took the cloth towel and wiped his hands, holding the Pancai came over and smiled: "Hou Ye, rest in the hall."
Qining saw that the dish was fried with asparagus, and the style was really not very beautiful, but the smell that came out made people feel appetite. Following the man to the middle hall, I saw a small square table in the middle. Three or four dishes have been put on it, all of which are common home-cooked dishes.
Qing Ning looked around, and the furnishings in the house were quite simple, but he didn’t see the prince of Simon. It was a little strange. The cook even took off his apron and threw it aside. He smiled and said, "Hou Ye, please sit down. Earlier, the dish wasn’t fried well, and later, and I was afraid that the dishes would be cold. Come, yes, what wine do you drink?" He sat down at the table and took two bottles of wine. Tao said: "The entrance of this altar is sweeter and the wine is not too strong. It is loved by the southerners. This altar is a spirit that I have collected for many years. It was sent by a friend from the north. The throat is like a fire, they call it north wind, haha, this name is also interesting."
When Qi Ning was startled, Xunji understood what he was saying and asked, "You... are you the priest of Simon?"
The chef smiled and said: "Does Lord Hou think that the gods should wait for others to come and serve? Haha, the old man thinks that this is alive." Raised his hand and said: "Hurry up and sit down to eat the food. Don’t be too strict here. When Ling Zun is alive, he can come to this place from time to time. Every time the old man cooks the food himself, and these few dishes can be swept away every time. "
Qing Ning was sure, the person in front of him suddenly turned out to be the priest of Simon.
He heard the name well, but he never imagined that it was such a scene when he first saw Ximen Wuhen.
Ximen Wuhen looks like an ordinary ordinary person who can no longer be ordinary. He looks more than 50 years old, slender, dressed casually, but looks quite elegant. When he wants to be young, he is also very handsome. Man.
He knows that in this era, even ordinary people, there are few men who go to the kitchen. The chief of the dignified mansion, even wearing an apron to cook in person, is really not what Qi Ning expected.
After sitting down, Ximen Wuqian first poured wine to Qi Ning and smiled: "It is better to drink lighter first. You are younger and have not been to the north. You may not be used to the spirits of the northerners." After a drink, he said: "I also heard about that matter. I have made Shenhou House severely punished, so Houye shouldn't worry about it."
Qining returned to God and said, "The priest need not be like this. In fact, the misunderstanding was already solved on the spot."
"It's not a misunderstanding." Ximen Wusha shook his head and said: "In recent years, the old man no longer has to go and ask about many things in the Shenhou Mansion. , Everything was okay, but this time it happened, it shows that there is still a great negligence in Shenhou Mansion."
Qining smiled and said: "There are so many things, it is inevitable that there will always be some mistakes, and the prince actually does not need to care too much."
"Shenhou Mansion is the place to deal with cases, and every case involves the forces of the rivers and lakes." Ximen Wuzheng said: "Even the simplest case, as long as there is a slight negligence in handling, it is likely to be brewed It is a huge disaster, so there is no room for any difference at all."
Qing Ning's expression suddenly calmed down and said: "What the prince said is very true, it was me who missed it."
"Eat the food first." Ximen Wujian smiled and said: "Please come over today. First, I apologize to you for that matter. Second, I also hope that Hou Ye has any suggestions for our Shenhou Mansion. It can be put forward, and finally let Hou Ye recognize a door. If the taste of Shanzhen seafood is greasy in the future, if you want to change the taste, you can come to the old man."
The Ximen priest looked amiable and very inconsistent with his high status. Qi Ning was very surprised. He picked up the dishes with chopsticks and tasted it. He thought it was extremely delicious and praised, "Shenhou, Are you kidding me? If I really want to eat home-cooked food, can I come here to eat rice?"
"Hahaha...!" Ximen Wuchen laughed: "Welcome at any time, let's say it first, eat at me, there is a rule, I moved the first chopsticks, if I don't put the table on All the dishes are clean~ IndoMTL.com~ That is not allowed to leave the seat. When Ling Zun was there, he had never broken this rule."
Qining glanced at the dishes on the table. Although there are five dishes, the amount of the dishes is not too large. The two of them really need to go all out. Five dishes can be solved.
At this moment, I heard footsteps outside and heard a crisp voice saying: "Daddy, are you secretly drinking again?" In the voice, a shadow of beauty has drifted in, and Qi Ning looked up Look at the past, it is Ximen warfare.
Ximen Zhanying glanced, and when he saw Qi Ning, he immediately frowned. Ximen Wuxian looked at Ximen Zhanying and said, "Yinger, you are just here. Hou Ye is here, you come and pour wine. !"
Ximen Zhanying obviously has no good impression of Zing Ning. He snorted and turned away. Ximen frowned without a trace, and said in a deep voice: "Stop!"
Ximen Zhanying stopped, and Ximen said coldly, "You didn't hear my words? Lord Hou is here, how can you be so ignorant? What happened the day before yesterday, Lord Hou didn't care about you. Hou Ye, do you think it's so easy? It's not enough."
Shenhou deserves to be a prince. Speaking coldly, he has an irresistible power.
