The Number One Catcher In The Capital, You Call This A Dog Leg?

Chapter 692: Xin'er And Xi'er

Anding Hou Mansion

Xiao Ye sat by the stone table in the yard, sighed and said: "Brother Xu, I give up, I can only come up with such a name, brother Xu, which group do you think I should choose?"

Xu Qing picked up the paper that Xiao Ye put on the table, and read: "Xiao Zixin, Xiao Zixi, um, this group is good."

With Xiao Ye's cultural level comparable to that of the virtuous king, let alone citing scriptures, it is not easy for him to come up with such a name.

Xu Qing nodded slightly before looking at the next group: "Xiao Yubing and Xiao Yuning, well, this group is also very good..."

"Then the second..." While Xu Qing was deliberating carefully, he became more and more familiar with and satisfied with the second group of names, and when he was about to make a final decision, he suddenly said, "Wait!"

Xiao Ye looked at Xu Qing who seemed to be in a cold sweat and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xu Qing said: "If you choose Xiao Yubing and Xiao Yuning, what are you going to give the child's nickname?"

Xiao Ye said: "Then take the last word."

Xu Qing asked; "Bing'er and Ning'er?"

Xiao Ye nodded: "Is there any problem with being so natural?"

Any questions?

Big problem!

Why does Xu Qing feel that the name becomes more familiar the more she repeats it: Isn't Long Bing'er's nickname just Bing'er? Besides, Ning'er, isn't that Li Mingyue's nickname?

This is cheap.

Of course Xu Qing disagreed.

Xu Qing coughed and said, "Compared to Bing'er and Ning'er, I suddenly think that girls' names Xin'er and Xi'er sound better."

Xiao Ye patted his thigh and said, "Brother Xu also thinks Xin'er and Xi'er sound better, right?"

Xu Qing nodded and said with a smile: "Of course, don't you think such a name is more gentle and watery? Does Brother Xiao want two daughters like Xue'er?"

Xiao Ye immediately agreed deeply.

Xue'er is domineering at home, she is also domineering in the palace, and she is even more domineering in Chu State. From the current point of view, no one can control her except Brother Xu.

Xiao Ye took the paper and looked at the two names repeatedly, and kept saying in his mouth: "Xin'er, Xi'er, um, they are really much better than names like Bing'er and Ning'er, as expected of my daughter's name." The name, tsk tsk, those two names are simply too rustic, Xiner and Xier are better, brother Xu, are you right? Hey brother Xu, why did your face become so ugly?"

Xiao Ye looked at the name over and over again, and just when he raised his head, he saw Xu Qing's expressionless face, and the veins on his forehead twitched to write it down.

Xu Qing forced an awkward yet polite smile and said, "It's nothing, as long as Brother Xiao likes it."

A satisfied and gratified smile appeared on Xiao Ye's face and said, "Xin'er, Xi'er, good! My two daughters finally have names!"

At this moment, Xuan'er came over and said, "My lord, someone outside said that they would come to visit my aunt, and they brought a lot of presents."

"Visiting?" Xu Qing said with a strange smile on his face; "Okay, Xuan'er asked him to wait in the lobby first, and I'll go back right away."

Xuan'er gave a "hmm" and said, "Good young master."

Xiao Ye asked suspiciously; "Brother Xu, do you know who is here?"

Xu Qing smiled and said, "This is our big customer."

"Big client?" Xiao Ye was even more surprised. What kind of client would be worthy of being a big client like Brother Xu, who has never been short of money?

With curiosity, Xiao Ye and Xu Qing came to the lobby together

Agula was already sitting in the lobby waiting, the tea from Zhongyuan really made him not used to drinking it.

When Xu Qing and Xiao Ye walked into the lobby, they saw Agula sitting on the side.

Xiao Ye looked at Agula and was full of doubts. A person came with a lot of gifts. Could it be this grassland envoy Agula?

A few days ago, brother Xu just slapped the grassland with a big mouth, why did he come to give gifts with a face today?

Could it be that people in the prairie tend to be masochistic?

Just when Xiao Ye was puzzled, Xu Qing said with a smile: "I don't know if the envoy is here today, so I am not far away."

Agula said: "Agula is here today to visit the Marquis of Anding County."

As he spoke, Agula glanced at Xiao Ye who was at the side.

If there is no one here, he can naturally talk to Xu Qing in peace, but there is Xiao Ye standing next to Xu Qing.

Xiao Ye is the son of King Xian, so it is naturally inconvenient to say anything at this time.

Xu Qing smiled and said, "You don't have to be suspicious, brother Xiao is not an outsider."

Only then did Agula feel relieved and said, "I came here this time to thank the Marquis of Anding County for his help."

Since the Marquis of Anding County can let Xiao Ye listen with peace of mind, what else can he not say?

He was able to release the two people who stole the gunpowder formula instead of ordering the court to arrest them. This behavior is no different from releasing the imperial court privately.

Since Uncle Anding didn't care so much, he must be relying on him.

Anyway, the two countries are not at war, let alone the grasslands and the state of Chu have not yet fought, and if something happens, they can retreat completely.

Xu Qing laughed when he heard Agula's words: "What is the envoy talking about? The mountains and rivers are in different lands, the wind and the moon are in the same sky, we are friends."

Agula said: "The Marquis of Anding County is serious. My grassland was reckless on the street that day. Somebody will strictly restrain his subordinates in the future. Then we will negotiate an alliance with your country in the future. I hope we can negotiate with your country as soon as possible."

Xu Qing said with a smile; "Your Majesty, rest assured, since Your Majesty has entrusted me with the negotiation with your country, we can naturally start talking at any time."

Agula smiled and said, "It couldn't be better."

Xu Qing revealed a faint MMP in his smile.

Ever since the envoys from the Zhou and Zhao countries came last year, I have never been idle. An envoy from this country, and an envoy from that country, is still in charge of the negotiations every time. This time it is good, let alone negotiations , the reception work is all covered.

What's even more exasperating is that King Xian and Emperor Chu only give orders, and don't give relevant salaries at all!

Xu Qing felt that now he could even kick Honglu Siqing down with one kick, and became the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the entire Chu State by himself.

At least in this way, he can receive the salary from Honglu Temple in a legitimate way...

Xianwang Mansion

Sitting in the tea room, Emperor Chu looked at King Xian while sipping tea and said, "Brother Emperor, recently we handed over the affairs of the grassland mission to Xu Qing, and there are quite some complaints from Honglu Temple Minister."

The virtuous king asked, "What complaints can he have?"

The Emperor of Chu said: "On weekdays, receiving envoys and accompanying envoys are what Honglu Temple should do. Now it is normal for Xu Qing to snatch the job that originally belonged to Honglu Temple and cause dissatisfaction with the minister of Honglu Temple."

The Xian King snorted coldly and said: "If he dares to complain about these things again, you can tell him straightforwardly, not much, if he has the ability to ask for even ten thousand taels from the grassland, this king will give it to you." Hand over the grassland mission to him!"
