When Xu Ping returned to his courtyard in the city, the sun had already set on the west wall of Kaifeng, and the light had disappeared, emitting red light, and was intimate from the inside out.

After drinking in Qingfeng Building for an afternoon of wine, Xu Ping was a little drunk. When he arrived at the door of the house, the servant carefully helped him off the horse and sent it directly to the yard where he lived.

Lin Suniang took Panpan and her parents back to the mansion outside the city, and the courtyard seemed a little deserted. The servant helped Xu Ping sit down on the stool in the yard, fed water, and served to wash his face.

Li Wei, who was studying in the study, heard the movement and saw Xu Ping sleeping on the stone table. He took the book and sat next to him to take care of him, and asked the servant to retreat.

There is no wind today, and the evening sun is warm, Xu Ping slept very heavily and had strange dreams.

The sun had not completely set the mountain, and the servant who had just left the courtyard suddenly came in again and said to Li Xu: "There is someone outside who came to our official family and said that there is something urgent. Should I wake up the official family?"

Li Xu hesitated for a moment and said to the servant: "The Marquis of the County just fell asleep. You should go outside and ask clearly what happened to that person and whether he can come back tomorrow."

The servant responded and was about to turn around and go out.

"What's going on? What's going on!"

At this moment, Xu Ping, who was sleeping, suddenly woke up and looked at Li Xu and the servant in front of him blankly.

Seeing Xu Ping's appearance, Li Wei whispered: "Sir, did you have some nightmare?"

"Oh, maybe it's-"

Xu Ping shook his head and woke up, but found that he had forgotten all the things in his dream just now. He could not remember them at all, but just felt a little disappointed.

Li Wei said to the servant, "Go and fetch a basin of water and wash your face for the county marquis."

Xu Ping sat down and was stunned for a while, until the servant came to beat him and washed his face, he recovered from his awakening.

The servant poured out the water and said to Xu Ping: "Official, someone outside said he was called Zhou Chui'an, and he said he had something to do in the mansion."

"Zhou Chui'an - let him in quickly!"

After hearing this name, Xu Ping remembered that he hadn't visited Duan Yunjie for a while. Now Xu Ping is not alone. He has various things to be busy with during the New Year, and he can't find time for public and private affairs at all. Zhou Chui'an came to find him, but he didn't know if something happened to Duan Yunjie again.

After a while, the servant led Zhou Chui'an Jian to greet Xu Ping.

Xu Ping asked: "But the small shop behind the palace is in trouble?"

"It's not a big deal to report to the county marquis. Since the Shangyuan Festival, a child from a powerful family has stayed in the store and tangled there every day. The Duan family's wife was so annoyed that she asked me to tell the county marquis and drive the man away."

Although Zhou Chui'an didn't say it clearly, Xu Ping knew what he meant. Duan Yunjie was beautiful and showed up in the store every day. How could anyone be greedy for her beauty? Fortunately, that small shop often did business with the palace, and there were quite a few powerful eunuchs who knew. In addition, Zhou Chui'an took care of him, he could handle it even if he was provoked by someone.

This time Zhou Chui'an came to find him in person, which means he met an amazing person this time.

Standing up, Xu Ping said, "It happened to be nothing tonight. I missed the taste of Yongzhou a little, so I went to the shop to have a glass of water and drink some food."

Li Wei naturally knew Duan Yunjie when she was in Yongzhou, but she didn't know that she had also arrived in the capital. She advised Xu Ping: "Sir, just woke up from the wine. If it wasn't for an urgent matter, I'd better take a rest overnight before going."

Xu Ping smiled and said, "It's okay, I have my own idea. After the holiday, I will save the exam. Just study with peace of mind."

After taking two followers, Xu Ping rode his horse out with Zhou Chui'an. The two of them did not walk on the avenue beside the Bian River, but walked the path and walked around the west side of the imperial city.

After passing Zhouxiwazi, the road became deserted. Xu Ping asked Zhou Chui'an: "What exactly is entangled there? You can tell me when you have arrived here."

"It was a yamen from Zhang Pushe's family. When he saw the Duan family's wife watching the lantern at the Yuan Dynasty, he became entangled. He stayed in the store from morning to night these two days, and he refused to leave no matter how he said that. He was really annoying."

Xu Ping nodded and said nothing.

Zhang Pushe was the Privy Councilor Zhang Qi who was removed last year. He was the Minister of Shangshu Zuo Pushe. Although he is now the governor of the state outside, his family is still in Kaifeng City.

Zhang Qi is the most famous of two things: one is greed for money, and the other is that he has many children. He has more than 20 sons, and his daughter has to be counted separately. Even in this era, even if he has many wives and concubines, the number of children is amazing. Of course, everyone has many children, and it is not surprising that he has a flirting with flowers and plants.

Zhang Qi was greedy for money, but his education was not careless. Among the many children, there were no prodigal sons. Moreover, he had lost power and his family had restrained his arrogance, far less than Gao Yanei in "Water Margin". In this era, in Kaifeng City under the feet of the emperor, there were really no one who dared to blatantly rob the women of the people.

Xu Pingke still remembers that when he was in Yongzhou, the Privy Council repeatedly interfered and caused trouble for him. The Privy Councilor at that time was Zhang Qi, and he kept holding on to this tone, but he didn't expect that he would be offended again now.

When I arrived outside the little feet shop, the sun had already set the mountain, and Kaifeng City in the afterglow of dusk seemed a little dark.

When they got to the store with Zhou Chui'an, they found an empty table to sit down.

When Tan Erniang saw this, she took the wine and food directly on the table, turned her head and nude her mouth: "The Zhang Yanei inside has been entangled in the store these two days, making noises, which makes people upset!"

Xu Ping looked around in the store. A young official in his twenties was sitting at a table against the wall, his eyes following Duan Yunjie, as if there was no other thing around him.

Xu Ping said to Tan Erniang: "You go and call out the Duan family's wife, I have something to say."

Tan Erniang got the order and turned around and went.

Duan Yunjie came outside the store and saw Xu Ping sitting here. She was not surprised and sat down opposite the table.

"Have that little Yanei been in the store these two days to bother with him?"

"Oh, since yesterday, I came to the store early in the morning. He would not leave until we closed. And he would say indecent words from time to time. Although he did not harass the guests, it was irritable!"

Seeing that Duan Yunjie's expression was exhausted, Xu Ping knew that she had endured it hard, so he nodded and said, "It's okay, I'll drive her away. When you encounter such a thing, you should tell me earlier."

Duan Yunjie sighed: "This man came to the store and just pestered me and did not do any other evil deeds. I thought that as long as I completely rejected him, I would not come again. Who knew that he would stay in the store every day."
