Chapter 408: The Worthy King With Cat Cake
"Pay...pay the tax?" Xu Qing looked at King Xian in disbelief.
The Xian Wang took it for granted: "What? You want to evade taxes? This is against the law. You are a majestic county magistrate, you don't want to break the law, do you?"
Xu Qing looked at King Xian: "Have you paid your taxes?"
Xian Wang: "Are you also a prince?"
Xu Qing: "..."
King Xian looked at the stack of bank notes in Xu Qing's hand and said, "Come on, it's too troublesome to go to the household department, so give it to me, I'll just hand it over for you."
Xu Qing: "Why are you so kind?"
The virtuous king waved his hand: "It's a pleasure to help others, don't be polite to me."
Xu Qing knew that sooner or later the 46 points would be reduced to 37 points by the virtuous king, which was exactly as he expected.
Originally, Xu Qing wanted to silently condemn King Xian's behavior in his heart. Is it easy to make some money by himself? As a prince, can't he pity himself?
But when Xu Qing thought of the little girl at home, he suddenly felt that the poor man had become a virtuous king.
Alas, the cabbage has been planted for fifteen years, and now this cabbage is rushing to someone else's house, forget it, give it to him, give it to him.
Seeing the way Xu Qing put the silver bill on the stone table so resolutely for the first time, King Xian couldn't help being a little dazed.
Why is this kid so happy today?
No way...
After Xu Qing finished placing the bank notes, cupped hands said: "My lord, if there is nothing wrong, I will go back first."
After finishing speaking, Xu Qing was about to turn around and leave.
Seeing Xu Qing's leaving back, King Xian suddenly said, "You can't leave."
Xu Qing turned around and looked at King Xian: "Your Majesty, is there anything else?"
King Xian looked at Xu Qing who turned around, and then at the bank note on the table: "Why did you give it so readily this time?"
Xu Qing blinked: "Isn't it wrong to give Yinzi a little bit more frankly?"
King Xian looked at Xu Qing and asked, "Could it be that you have something else to ask from me?"
Xu Qing thought for a while, then shook his head: "No."
The little girl's matter really can't be regarded as he begged the virtuous king, it was the little girl who rushed to get along, and it couldn't be regarded as begging him himself.
King Xian looked at Xu Qing suspiciously: "Really? If you don't say it now, you will not be allowed to find me after you go out."
Xu Qing shook his head and said: "I really have nothing to ask the lord."
Being stared at by a mature middle-aged man who was over forty years old, Xu Qing felt uncomfortable all over, and quickly cupped his hands and said: "If there is nothing wrong with the prince, I will leave."
King Xian looked at Xu Qing who was about to leave and said, "Wait a minute."
Xu Qing was puzzled and said: "What else is there for the prince?"
The virtuous king said: "Take away the banknotes on the table."
Xu Qing asked curiously: "My lord, don't want to...cough cough...don't you pay taxes for your ministers?"
Xian Wang: "You want to hand it over to yourself, but I don't have time."
Xu Qing: "Then you still say that you are happy to help others?"
Xian Wang: "This king doesn't want to help now."
Xu Qing glanced at the Xian Wang who was still in deep thought, put away the bank notes, and left the Xian Wang Mansion, wondering if the Xian Wang was out of his mind today.
King Xian is still sitting in the pavilion, it doesn't make sense... This kid shouldn't be so straightforward...
When King Xian was contemplating, Concubine Xian came over and said with a slight blessing, "My lord."
King Xian raised his head to look at the concubine who was coming, and said with a smile, "Why is concubine so free today?"
Concubine Xian smiled and said: "Today's sunshine is rare and not scorching. My concubine took Wan'er to the back garden for a walk to bask in the sun and raise her fetal gas. When she saw the prince sighing in the pavilion, she came to see him. Why sigh."
The Xian King said depressedly: "That kid came over just now, but this kid usually looks like a miser, how can he be so quick to give the bank note today?"
Concubine Xian asked in surprise, "Xu Qing just came here?"
King Xian nodded, and told Princess Xian what happened just now, then looked at Princess Xian and asked, "Tell me, is this kid a little abnormal today?"
Concubine Xian smiled and said: "I want to say that Xu Qing is a good kid. He understands the general situation and takes the overall situation into consideration. Although he is a little greedy for money, he is not ambiguous in the face of righteousness. Just like this glass exhibition, if it weren't for Xu Qing. Thinking of such a method in time, where will the prince go to collect the five hundred thousand taels of military funds?"
"This time, maybe the child knows that the treasury is in trouble, so he took the initiative today. I'm afraid the prince is overwhelmed."
The virtuous king pondered: "Could it be that this king is really treating the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain this time?"
Concubine Xian smiled and said: "Xu Qing is quite satisfied with his concubine status. My lord, you don't want to take advantage of other people's children every time. How old is it to ask for other people's children's money?"
King Xian held Princess Xian's hand and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, listen to Princess Xian, I don't want it in the future."
...
When Xu Qing went back, Xiao Ye found Xu Qing and had a hearty drink in the National Business School to celebrate that he had worked so hard for so long and finally had a son.
Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ye who had fallen across the table and changed his clothes.
In the past two days, I have been tortured by alcohol, but I dare not drink. As soon as the alcohol got into my mouth, Xu Qing pretended to wipe his mouth with his sleeve and spit it all out on his sleeve. Otherwise, he would not be able to beat Xiao Ye. .
When Xiao Ye wiped his mouth, he was really wiping his mouth, and when Xu Qing wiped his mouth, he was lying...
After changing his clothes, Xu Qing helped the drunk Xiao Ye into the carriage, sent him back home, and then returned to Uncle Anding's mansion by himself.
night
Xu Qing behaved this time. After eating, she got into the bedroom and covered herself with a quilt to pretend to sleep. Now the lady wanted to drink but she couldn't.
But unexpectedly, Su Qian came in this time without any wine glass in her hand, she just went straight to the bed and lay down beside Xu Qing.
Su Qian's body trembled a little, Xu Qing took Su Qian who was lying beside her into her arms and asked, "Lady, what's wrong with you?"
Su Qian whispered: "Today, I asked the doctor to check my pulse... still nothing. Is it true that the higher the force, the harder it is to have offspring as the husband said in the scriptures? Waste martial arts."
Xu Qing patted Su Qian on the back and said: "Miss, don't think about it, it's all fabricated for your husband and it can't be taken seriously. Look at Xueer's father, his martial arts is better than your wife, and now he has two children." His father is gone, and the child is already that old."
Su Qian whispered: "In the past two days, we obviously didn't take precautions, but..."
Xu Qing comforted: "It will take two months for the concubine to be a concubine, why are you so anxious? As the saying goes, you will reap what you sow, as long as you work hard... Hey, my lady, why do you look at your husband with such eyes?"
Su Qian suddenly stepped forward, looked down at Xu Qing and said, "I think what your husband said makes sense."
At this moment, Xu Qing only had one thought in his mind, that he was tricked!
In the end, the weak, pitiful and helpless Xu Qing only had time to say: "Lady lamp...the lamp hasn't blown yet..."
