Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Busy Xu Chen (3)
Chai Lao's trip to Chang'an really thoroughly implemented Xu Chen's construction of soy sauce, and he didn't even show his face along the way, let alone complete the interception task explained by the two brothers of the Lu family.
It's just that when Chai Lao returned to Yuzhang City, the letter from the head of the Lu family arrived in the hands of the two brothers Lu Zongtai one step earlier, and when the two learned that the Wan family had dispatched two grandmasters for this purpose, they could only shout "non-war crimes". In addition, Chai Lao was able to describe the incident in detail, so he did not blame him for his defeat, let alone doubt. It's just that after that, the two of them had a deep understanding of Wanjia's strength, so they began to shrink their strength in Yuzhang County, and no longer provoked Wanjia lightly.
Chai Lao came here to tell Xu Chen about what happened on the road, and secondly, to discuss his next actions with Xu Chen.
Xu Chen was also taken aback after listening to Chai Lao's statement, although he had already guessed that the strength of the Wan family was amazing, but he didn't expect it to be so strong, fortunately, he and they did not have a strict conflict, but they had to be more careful in the future.
As for the affairs of the Lu family, Xu Chen is not worried, unless the two brothers of the Lu family completely give up the idea of expansion and wholeheartedly guard the current bit of family foundation, otherwise it will inevitably be involved with the local family forces. And according to the strength of the Wanjia family in the local area, I am afraid that the tentacles have already spread all over the entire Yuzhang County, and the Lu family will touch the Wanjia family as long as it moves. Moreover, the power of the seven sects and five surnames in Yuzhang County is not only the Lu family, not to mention anything else, Wang Xian is also constantly looking for opportunities to infiltrate. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if both sides have the idea of not moving, isn't there still a Xu Chen who is worried about his life at any time to be involved in it?
Therefore, when Xu Chen told Chai Lao about this, the old man was also a lot more relieved. Even if you can't borrow a knife to kill someone, you can also handle the knife yourself when your own strength is enough! It's a big deal to directly ask Chai Lao to bring a few bamboo tubes back, just take revenge, in fact, it can be very simple!
After Chai Lao left, Xu Chen fell into deep thought, and the sudden behavior of the Wan family to show his strength made Xu Chen a little passive. Now that the two brothers of the Lu family have begun to shrink, some of the previous plans have now become outdated, and they need to be planned again.
There is also the fact that the matter of Tang Yuan's family has been settled, and they can't let their family always be separated, it seems that they are going to Changshan Island in two days, but it will take a little thought to pass the news over in a proper and reasonable way.
On the second day, when Xu Chen went to Taoyuan to attend class, he found an opportunity to ask the teacher.
"Teacher, can you see the court report issued by the imperial court?" Xu Chen diligently poured the teacher a cup of tea made from his own fried tea leaves.
Now Xu Fan also likes this kind of light tea, older people always like this bitter with a hint of sweetness, in their words is more similar to the taste of life, the faint tea soup can drink a taste of the avenue, naturally deeply loved by these Confucian literati.
"If you want to ask, just say it!" Seeing his eldest disciple's almost flattering expression, Xu Fan naturally knew that the other party had something to ask for. Now that Mr. Xu has formed a conditioned reflex, as long as Xu Chen shows this expression, his body will involuntarily sit upright, and then his brain will begin to be highly concentrated. If you don't do that, if you are surrounded by him and sold by him and help count the money, it will be too shameless!
"Recently, the disciple suddenly wants to care about the major affairs of the country and the people's livelihood, and the teacher often teaches us to worry about the worries of the world first, and enjoy the joys of the world after the world!" Xu Chen said seriously, ignoring the famous words of the Fan Bachelor that came out casually.
"Well, that's a good sentence! It's your grandfather who taught me again, right? It's a pity! It's a pity that I can't see such a masterful demeanor!" Xu Fan showed a regretful expression, and after finishing speaking, he handed over the already empty teacup to Xu Chen.
"Pretend! you continue to pretend!" is what Mr. Xu wants to express at this moment.
"Okay! I want to go and see if Tang Yuan's case has been resolved. "Xu Chen also knows that he can't deceive the teacher, but from time to time he comes to such a flower, and he can also get closer to the relationship, isn't it? Besides, if this is not the case, you always look scheming, and Teacher Xu will not destroy you!
"Tang Yuan, is that the one from 'Thousands of Miles Gongchanjuan', right?" Xu Fan asked, and then smiled with interest, and teased Xu Chen: "When will I get you a cake for your teacher and me to try?" Okay! This is just such a song in the blink of an eye, how can this water tune song be passed down for thousands of years!"
After Xu Fan finished speaking, he sighed again, and said with a natural face: "Yes! Our old man with a vicissitudes of life is indeed not as poetic as the cardamom girl of others!"
Xu Chen didn't say anything after listening to the teacher's sour words, but his eyes were firmly fixed on Shi Lei, who was about to bury his head in the table, with a charming smile on his face.
Seeing that his words had no effect, Mr. Xu couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then took out a stack of papers from his desk and handed it to Xu Chen, and said angrily: "Find it yourself!"
Xu Chen hurriedly took it with a smile, quickly flipped it up, and after reading a few photos, he looked at the teacher with an expression of surprise, admiration and doubt, and Xu Fan was also sitting on the table with an unfathomable appearance, Xu Chen's silent sycophant could be regarded as a great satisfaction of Teacher Xu's vanity.
The thing Xu Fan handed over was the court newspaper of the imperial court, but this is the content...... Xu Chen hadn't read the court report of the Taishou Administration, but he dared to guarantee that the things here were definitely much more complete than those of Wang Xian! Not only in Jiangnan and Xidao, but also in the entire Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that the recent events in the entire Tang Dynasty are here! It seems that this Teacher Xu really has an extraordinary background!
Xu Chen flipped through it for a long time, and such a stack of copywriting was divided into several parts according to region and time, and even so, it took Xu Chen a lot of time to finally find what he wanted in the area of Chang'an, the Beijing division on August 17.
Tang Yuan's case was closed by the Holy Lord without the three divisions being closed, and Duan Zhang's demotion to the county order of Xia County can be regarded as achieving the goal of ten thousand families, ten thousand families stopped their activities, and the two brothers of the Lu family also shrank back, and this case is completely over.
This is good news, I have to tell Tang Yuan and his wife as much as possible, but Xu Chen has to think about what method to use.
"Teacher, there should be such a court report over there, right?" Xu Chen shook the paper in his hand and asked Xu Fan.
Xu Fan looked at it, and then replied: "Yes! The saint canonized the concubine, so naturally he wants to make it clear to the world." And the matter of Tang Yuan's family happened to be on the same day, so it was also sent down by the way.
Hearing Xu Fan's words, Xu Chen immediately thought of paying attention and smiled happily.
Seeing the smile of the eldest apprentice, Xu Fan couldn't help but sigh: "You are going to be a teacher again this time, right?"
Xu Chen smiled wryly, then picked up the pen and began to copy the court newspaper on the 17th, and deliberately copied everything, and after copying it, he dried the ink and smiled with satisfaction.
After class, Xu Chen didn't go home, got on the boat by the Fuhe River, and rushed directly to Changshan Island.
A few hours later, it was late at night, and after Xu Chen went to Changshan Island, he ran to Tang Yuan's place.
After arriving at the door, he didn't care that Tang Yuan and his wife had fallen asleep, picked up his fist and began to slam the door frame, and after a while, not only Tang Yuan and his wife woke up, but Liu San, who was patrolling in the distance, was also startled by the sudden noise, and only retreated with relief when he saw that it was Xu Chen.
"Xiao Chen, what are you doing here! I don't sleep at night, what are you doing here!" Tang Yuan had obviously just woken up, and he yawned a few times in a word.
"Uncle, what about Auntie?" Xu Chen hurriedly asked.
"What are you doing? Do you ask that? I don't sleep at night, I go to someone else's house to ask where my daughter-in-law is!" Tang Yuan was really still in a daze, and he began to talk nonsense.
After hearing this, Xu Chen was also full of black lines, and he didn't sell it anymore, otherwise he might not know what came out of Tang Yuan's big mouth!
Or does this work, Tang Yuan, who was still in the realm of confusion, immediately widened his eyes after hearing this, grabbed Xu Chen's shoulders with a pair of big hands, and asked while shaking, "What? What did you say?"
Fortunately, Xu Chen has been practicing recently, and he really can't see that Tang Yuan, who doesn't have any effort, has such a big hand!
"It's Xiao Jue! Xiao Jue has news!" Xu Chen hurriedly said.
"Really, where is it?" Tang Yuan listened to it a second time, and finally became convinced that he had heard it correctly.
"In Chang'an!, look!" Xu Chen hurriedly handed over the paper.
But where can you see clearly in this black light, Tang Yuan squinted and stared for a long time and couldn't see what was written, so he said irritably: "Lamp!
"What are you shouting about! Are you such an elder? People Xiaochen came from afar all night to deliver letters, and you didn't even let people in!" Tang also heard what Xu Chen said, and hurriedly walked out with an oil lamp.
When the lights in the room came on, Tang Yuan couldn't wait to finish reading the paper sent by Xu Chen, and hurriedly asked, "Xiao Chen, what is this?"
"Uncle, this is the court report of the imperial court obtained from the Taishou Lord's office, uncle, do you know the court report, right? The court report is ......" Xu Chen was interrupted by Tang Yuan before he could explain.
"Okay, uncle, I've been in the yamen for more than ten years, and I still don't know this? Why don't there be seals on it?"
"Oh, this is a copy I asked my teacher to let me in and transcribe. Uncle, don't worry!Guarantee that every word is correct!" Xu Chen said.
"So, Xiao Jue is in Chang'an now?" Tang also reacted and said.
"It should be!" I heard the teacher say that the case of the uncle's family seems to be begged by the daughter of the bitter lord to come to the Holy Lord, and the Holy Lord specially decreed to close the case!" Xu Chen pulled the teacher's banner and said the news he had already gotten.
"That's Xiao Jue, that's right!" Tang Yuan said excitedly when he heard it, and then sighed again: "It's hard for this kid......!
"Okay, Brother Yuan, don't be sad! The most important thing is that Xiaojun is still safe, it's enough!" The mother's request is always so plain, but full of deep love.
"Auntie is right, it's all over!" Xu Chen also hurriedly said.
"Yes, it's all over! All we have to do now is to hurry to Chang'an and find Xiao Jue! We will leave tomorrow!" Tang Yuan was no longer sad, and now all he wanted was to rush to his daughter's side as much as possible.
"Ah, it's too fast!" Xu Chen was shocked when he heard Tang Yuan's words.
"Time is not waiting! Knowing the news of Xiao Jue, how can I still sit still!" Tang Yuan said anxiously.
Xu Chen looked at Tang Yuan, and then at Tang Clan, so he had to shake his head helplessly......
The next morning, Wei Chao, who had been in a coma for more than a month, suddenly woke up miraculously! It seemed that he had also heard the news of his master and was awakened.
There's no way, Tang Yuan is leaving, and before leaving, he can't help but let them thank his life-saving benefactor, right? So, Wei Chao had no choice but to wake up......
After Wei Chao woke up, he heard about Duan Zhang, and was silent for a moment, so he decided to leave for Youzhou to find him and fulfill his oath to protect his life.
Xu Chen had no choice but to prepare a boat for the three of them, although they were in a hurry, Xu Chen still insisted on letting Tang Yuan and his wife take a boat to Beijing. In these years, the level of medical care is low, and people may be killed when they go far away, Tang Yuan and his wife are not young, and they don't know martial arts, Xu Chen doesn't want them to have a little trouble.
For this reason, Xu Chen also deliberately asked Peng Ze to escort him with the ship, and the future of the warehouse will have to rely on Peng Ze's gang, and this time taking the canal into Beijing can be regarded as a front station to explore the situation. Moreover, with Peng Ze protecting Tang Yuan and his wife, Xu Chen was also more at ease.
When it was almost noon, everyone was ready, and on the dock of Changshan Island, Xu Chen handed a package to Tang Yuan, and Tang Yuan took it, and the package was quite heavy.
"Uncle, there are hundreds of dollars here, and I have spent all the cash here recently, and that's all there is at present, you can take it!" Xu Chen lowered his head embarrassedly after speaking, this time it was not pretended, this money is really unavailable! But Xu Chen's project here is all rolled out, and the funds are really tight, and he can't take out more.
"Oh! That's right! There are two glass cups in this bag, you should be able to exchange a lot of money for Chang'an!" Xu Chen added, those two cups were made by Xu Chen with a mold, and he couldn't do the technical work of blowing glass, so he could only do two simple things.
"You kid is so worried! With your uncle's skill, where can you not eat?" Tang Yuan said angrily and funny, and then handed the package back.
Xu Chen didn't answer, and kept saying: "Chang'anju, it's not easy! Uncle, you should take it!"
Seeing this, Tang pulled her husband's sleeve, and Tang Yuan understood, so he accepted the package.
After a while, the ship set sail, Xu Chen stood on the dock and waved goodbye, and at the same time said firmly to himself in his heart: "Chang'an, one day I will go! This day will come soon!"
On the boat that was far away, Tang Yuan suddenly smiled and said to his wife, "Shouldn't this be that kid's dowry?"
"How much do you think your daughter is worth?" Tang said lightly, glancing at her husband.
Tang Yuan thought about it for a while, and seriously spit out two words: "Priceless!"
