Chapter 578: Persuading Mother Xu

After Guihai Yidao and Shangguan Haitang arrived in Fancheng, they did not immediately find Xu Shu. Instead, he spent a few days quietly exploring the city, and after understanding, he found that Xu Shu's mother was a virtuous and righteous woman, and she also maintained a passion for the rise and fall of the world. Therefore, after learning about this, Shangguan Haitang and Guihai discussed it with a knife, and decided to give up Yuan Chang's idea of letting them kidnap Xu's mother and threaten Xu Shu. is going to use the method of knowing with emotion and moving with reason to persuade Xu Shu and ask her to persuade Xu Shu to go to Youzhou to assist Yuan Chang.

Of course, in fact, it is mainly Shangguan Haitang's thoughts, Guihai is like a stuffy gourd, he can't say a word in a few words, and it is too difficult to make him come up with an idea.

And to convince Xu's mother, it is natural to take advantage of Xu Shu's absence to execute, and there is no problem at all.

After the investigation of Shangguan Haitang and the others, they learned that Xu Shu would go to the surrounding cities every few days to visit friends and have an exchange. It won't be back until the next day at the earliest, so Shangguan Haitang and Guihai Yidao have plenty of time to execute their plan.

On this day, Xu Shu went out to visit friends again, Shangguan Haitang and Guihai waited for Xu Shu to walk for about half an hour, and then came out of the corner and knocked on Xu Shu's door.

"Fu'er, are you?

A voice sounded with doubts, and then, the door opened, and Xu Shu's mother, Xu Li, leaned out, looked at the two unfamiliar faces in front of her, and asked puzzled.

Xu Shu's mother is only in her thirties now, dressed plainly, with a few shallow wrinkles on her brows, but she can't hide her kind face. Xu's mother said Fu'er before, because Xu Shu's original name was Xu Fu, but later because of the incident of his friend, he changed his name to Xu Shu.

"Hello, auntie!"

Shangguan Haitang saluted and greeted him properly, and then said: "The two of us came from the north, passing by here, and we were a little thirsty, so we wanted to ask you for some water to drink." ”

"Oh, I see, come in with me!"

Xu Li didn't have any doubts, after all, Shangguan Haitang was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl now, and Guihai was only nineteen or twenty, in Xu's mother's eyes, the two of them were younger than their own children, and their faces didn't look like bad people, so Xu's mother naturally didn't have any doubts.

"Auntie, thank you, you are such a good person!"

After drinking the water, Shangguan Haitang said sweetly. After complimenting, Shangguan Haitang's eyes swept around the room, and asked as if casually: "Auntie, you are the only one in your family, why don't you see anyone else?"

"No, I still have a son!"

Shangguan Haitang is not only beautiful, but also has a sweet mouth, Xu's mother is motherly, and she also likes Shangguan Haitang, so she has to answer questions, "My child happened to go out to visit friends today, and he is older than you, so he is your brother." If he's here, he'll let you get to know each other, and maybe you'll be friends. ”

Shangguan Haitang frowned slightly, and said with some displeasure: "Auntie, you are alone at home, how can my brother go out to visit friends and ignore you!"

"Not really!"

Mother Xu hurriedly explained for her son: "My son is worried about the world, going out to discuss the general trend of the world with his friends, waiting for the opportunity to serve the court. As a mother, my aunt naturally can't stop my son's sincerity. ”

"Dare to ask the eldest lady, has your child ever worked in the Jingzhou Mansion?

Mother Xu was stunned, then shook her head and said, "My son has never taken office, and he has never offered a strategy!"

"No matter how much you say, it's better to act. If we discuss the general trend of the world with others, what is the benefit of the country and the people? For example, when we are in turmoil today, the eldest husband should serve the country with a three-foot green peak. Even if he is just a scribe in the government office, what he does is insignificant, he is really serving the country, can he change the situation in the world and save the people of the world from fire and water with a few words from their scholars?"

"This..."

After listening to Shangguan Haitang's words, Xu's mother wanted to defend her son. However, after thinking about it, she found that Shangguan Haitang's words were extremely reasonable, and she may not have the words to refute them. At this moment, Mother Xu also noticed that Shangguan Haitang didn't seem to be just here to beg for water, but had another purpose.

"Begonia girl, you?"

Seeing that Mother Xu had begun to suspect, Shangguan Haitang did not hide it, but said very directly and simply: "Auntie, I was sorry to hide it before." In fact, I am the No. 1 secret agent of Xuanzi under the command of Youzhou Mu, and I am the No. 1 secret agent of the word Dizi. We came here this time on the orders of my father-in-law, Youzhou Mu, to invite my aunt and Xu Yuanzhi's brother to go to Youzhou. Youzhou Mu attaches great importance to Brother Yuanzhi's talent, so he ordered the two of us to take away you and Brother Yuanzhi by any means. ”

"What, you guys..."

When Mother Xu heard this, her eyes widened suddenly, and she looked at Shangguan Haitang in shock. Mother Xu is not stupid, so she can naturally understand the meaning of Shangguan Haitang's words. The so-called at all means is nothing more than forcibly taking them away. Originally, Xu Mu was a little shocked, but after a while, she calmed down. Now that Shangguan Haitang has already told her identity and purpose, no matter what she decides, she seems to have no ability to resist.

"Originally, the two of us were going to forcibly bring you and Brother Yuanzhi to Youzhou. However, after understanding the eldest mother in the past few days, I know that you are a person who understands righteousness, and you must be able to understand the good intentions of Youzhou Mu, so I decided not to use strong means, hoping that the eldest mother can persuade Brother Yuanzhi to let him go to Youzhou to show his talents. As I said before, my father-in-law once said that 'it is easier to know than to do', everyone knows it, but it is difficult to do. Brother Yuanzhi communicates and learns with friends, which may be of some help to Caixue. However, it is better to do something for the country and the people, and action is the most direct manifestation of ability. I also hope that the eldest mother will think twice and persuade Brother Yuanzhi. ”

"Hmm!"

Xu Mu nodded and agreed with Shangguan Haitang's words. However, then I only heard her say: "Miss Begonia, what you said is very reasonable, but I have never heard of Youzhou Mu's character, and I am not sure what his character is." If he is a jackal-like figure like Dong Zhuo, wouldn't I be caught in injustice for my son?"

"Auntie, your worries are also justified, but I believe that if you knew what my lord once said, you would not have any worries. ”

Shangguan Haitang said that he understood Xu's mother's worries, but he was more at ease with his father-in-law.

"Oh, I don't know what to say?"

"The worries of the world are worried, and the joys of the world are happy. Auntie, you are a sensible person, and you should understand the meaning of this sentence. My father-in-law not only said so, but also did so. Maybe you can feel it when you arrive in Youzhou, and you are there. ”

"Oh, this sentence is really said by Youzhou Mu?"

Mother Xu is also from a scholarly family, and she has also read books, so she can naturally understand the righteousness and spirit contained in this sentence. If Youzhou Mu is really such a character, Xu's mother will naturally not be wrong to think that her son will work for him. However, now that these words were said by the other party, she didn't know whether they were true or not.

"Come to think of it, auntie, you are doubting whether this sentence is true!"

Shangguan Haitang smiled slightly, seemed to see through Xu Mu's thoughts, paused, and said bluntly: "Auntie, I won't hide it from you." Whether you decide to persuade Brother Yuanzhi or not, in order to fulfill the order of my lord, I will bring you and Brother Yuanzhi to Youzhou. When you get to Youzhou, you will naturally be able to understand whether what I said earlier is true. If you go to Youzhou, aunt, you still don't want Brother Yuanzhi to work for my lord, my lordship will definitely not embarrass you and let you leave. Even if my father-in-law doesn't release him at that time, I won't agree, how about it?"

Mother Xu showed a bitter smile on her face, Shangguan Haitang said it so directly, whether she agreed to persuade her son or not, Shangguan Haitang and Guihai would take him to Youzhou. Mother Xu is not stupid, since this is the case, how to choose the way of nature.

"Since Miss Begonia you said so, I will persuade my son to go to Youzhou, as for whether it can be done, it depends on Fu'er's meaning!"

"That's great!" Shangguan Haitang saw that Xu Mu had promised him, and immediately whispered happily. Although Yuan Chang asked them to forcibly take them away, they could also get Xu Mu and Xu Shu to Youzhou, but that might make Xu Mu and Xu Shu feel bad in their hearts, and even if they were forced to stay in Youzhou at that time, Xu Shu might not be able to work. At that time, Yuan Chang will still use threats to coerce Xu Shu, you must know that this kind of thing can no longer be done, if Xu Shu is forced to be urgent, it is not impossible for him and Xu's mother to die directly together. Now that Shangguan Haitang uses an open and honest method to directly state his purpose, everyone has put it on the table, and the possibility of having mustard is even smaller.

"My father-in-law said that Brother Yuanzhi is filial to his mother, and if you persuade your aunt, there will be no accidents. I believe that after you and Brother Yuanzhi arrive in Youzhou, you will be satisfied. In this way, the ambition in the heart of Brother Yuanzhi can be realized. ”

Shangguan Haitang's face was happy, but Xu's mother was bitter, and she didn't know what to say.

In fact, Xu's mother had some doubts in her heart, their family used to be in Yingchuan County, at that time Xu Shu was hoping to become a ranger-like chivalrous man, and he was not famous at all; later, Xu Shu repented, studied hard every day, and also met some famous people, and got a lot of praise; then, they moved to Fancheng, Xu Shu's reputation is in Fancheng, Xiangyang and other cities have some fame, how can it be transmitted to Youzhou. Moreover, listening to the meaning of Shangguan Haitang's words, Youzhou Mu seems to know her son very well, and he is not even worse than her. For this, Xu Mu felt very curious and puzzled. Of course, Xu Mu didn't know that there was a character in this world, called a traverser. If Mother Xu knew this, she would probably not have any doubts.

Xu Shu went out this time, and it took three days to return home, and when he returned home, he found that there were two more people in the family, a woman and a man, who didn't look very old, and Xu Shu thought it was some relative of his family. Of course, these two people are naturally Shangguan Haitang and Guihai.

"The child meets his mother!"

Xu Shu stepped forward to salute Xu's mother first, then looked at Shangguan Haitang and the others, and asked puzzledly, "Mother, who are the two of them?"

Mother Xu nodded and said lightly: "Fu'er, the two of them are secret agents under the command of Youzhou Mu, Shangguan Haitang girl and Guihai Yidao Gongzi. This time I came to the house, I was ordered by the pastor of Youzhou to invite you to go to Youzhou to help. ”

"Huh?"

Like Xu's mother, Xu Shu's mind was also full of doubts. His reputation is not very loud, but he is only a little famous in the vicinity of Fancheng, how can it be spread to Youzhou? After all, Xu Shu has not been commented on as "Wang Zuozhicai" by the celebrity critic Xu Shao like Xun Yu, so naturally he will not be famous all over the world. It is already quite good to be able to make a name for himself in the Fancheng area, after all, Xu Shu has not studied for a long time, but now he is known by Youzhou in the far north, and Xu Shu can't help but be surprised.

"I don't know what my mother means?" Xu Shu did not make a decision immediately, but asked what Xu's mother meant.

Mother Xu smiled bitterly, it seemed that as Yuan Chang said, Xu Shu would really ask her what she meant. Now that Shangguan Haitang has explained to her, what else can she say? If Youzhou Mu is really as Shangguan Haitang said, if she lets Xu Shu refuse, she will still be forcibly taken to Youzhou by Shangguan Haitang and them, and then maybe her son and Youzhou Mu will have a mustard, and her son's ambition will have nowhere to show. Therefore, what Xu's mother can do now is naturally to persuade Xu Shu to go to Youzhou.

"Youzhou Mu warmly invites, I naturally hope you can go to Youzhou. If you meet the Lord and realize your heart's desire, I will be at ease. ”

"Since the mother agrees, the child will not object!"

Xu Shu's mother is filial, and now that Xu's mother has agreed to go to Youzhou, he will naturally not refuse. Previously, Xu Shu was dedicated to studying, and he also knew something about all the forces in the world, and the new Youzhou Mu Yuan Chang also knew about it. It's just that Xu Shu didn't determine which one his master was, so he kept going into hiding, communicating and learning with his friends, and he wouldn't go out of the mountain to help until the master in his mind appeared.

Of course, there is another reason why Xu Shu agreed so directly and simply.

Xu Shu is not stupid, Shangguan Haitang and Guihai suddenly appeared, and his mother persuaded him to go to Youzhou, obviously it must not be so simple. However, at this point, Xu Shu didn't want his mother to have any accidents, so he naturally agreed very simply. (To be continued.) )
