Xu Fan's mansion is also in Buzheng Fang, which was a separate garden of Princess Taiping back then.

Speaking of this house, Xu Fan really had some relationship with it before. But it is said that more than 30 years ago, Princess Taiping controlled the government, and the officials of all sizes went out of her door and looked up to her nose. The elderly Taiping was infected with her mother's preferences, so the young talents of the Manchu Dynasty competed to be the guests of the scene.

This villa of Buzheng Fang is on the edge of the imperial city, and the location is superior, so it has become a place to go too often, of course, it is a song and dance every night.

At that time, Xu Fan was still in his early twenties, and his appearance was naturally not bad, and he was also outstanding in talent and learning, so it was easy to enter the eyes of Taiping.

It's just that Xu Fan was full of righteousness at that time, not only did he not respond to Taiping's request, but also sarcastically mocked Taiping in public, saying that he didn't need to rely on anyone, and he would definitely be able to enter this courtyard in a dignified manner in the future.

As a result, the city was naturally full of wind and rain.

It was also in front of this house that Xu Fan met Li Longji, who was still the prince at the time, and Li Longji admired this talented and upright Xu Fan very much. At that time, Li Longji was in a difficult situation, and there were no people around him who could be used, and when he met a Xu Fan, he didn't have the purpose of throwing it away when he ran out.

So under the deliberate friendship, the two soon became acquainted, and with the deepening of understanding, in Li Longji's heart, Xu Fan's status gradually rose from the original cannon fodder, until after he retired after his success, Li Longji recognized this person more and more, and gradually cultivated a friendship that surpassed that of monarchs and ministers.

After Xu Fan's greetings, Li Longji specially gave Xu Fan this mansion to fulfill his promise of the year, but also to show that he had not forgotten what Xu Fan had done and remembered the common years.

The emperor's recognition on this spiritual level is the greatest favor for a courtier.

For this reason, even Xu Fan, who doesn't like luxury, calmly accepted this obviously extravagant and abnormal mansion.

At this moment, in front of the gate of this mansion, a carriage stopped, and a person walked on the car, a young man who looked to be twenty-seven or eighteen years old, wearing a Shu brocade, the style was elegant, but the luxury of his body lingered.

Coincidentally, as soon as the young man got out of the carriage, he saw a young man who was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and had not yet reached the crown, walking leisurely towards the door.

"Jun Yi, what are you going to do?" the young man called out to the young man.

"Big brother, you're back! A few friends invited us to go to the West City together, why don't you go with you?" the young man said with a little ambiguity as he walked towards the young man.

The young man was a little moved when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "Father has a bad temper these days, if he is caught, he will inevitably be beaten!"

"Haha, it's because my father is busy these days, so we have to go out for a walk more! Otherwise, when my father is busy for a while, it will not be easy to find such opportunities in the future. The young man's body bones looked a little weak, and after laughing a few times, a blush appeared on his face, but it still couldn't hide his pale face, as if a few red paper cuts were randomly glued on the white shadow wall, and they would fall off when the wind blew.

Looking at his brother's obviously over-drunk body, the young man frowned slightly and persuaded, "You look like this, why are you still running around?"

The young man waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Okay, okay, how can you talk and be virtuous with the old man! I know my own affairs, so don't worry about it!"

"By the way, have you got the food back?" asked the young man, diversioning the subject.

"Oh, don't mention it! it's still a bucket of rice!" the young man sighed.

"What? Do they still want to open this shop? These rednecks really don't know how to lift up! If it weren't for the old man's cover, they would have been torn apart by someone and Shen Jiang!" When the young man heard this, he immediately shouted, and for a while he forgot to have fun, and shouted: "I don't believe it, I'll go to them! A bucket of rice a day, do we ask for food in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

These two are Xu Fan's two sons, the older one is named Xu Junzhong, and the younger one is called Xu Junyi.

Xu Fan's two sons were born to his wife after he helped Li Longji successfully ascend the throne. When he gave birth to the boss, Xu Fan was still a small county magistrate, and he had suffered some hardships for the older ones, and he was more mature and stable. And when the young one was born, Xu Fan had already become a middle-level official, and he was not big or small in the court, but he was also a figure, in recent years, Xu Fan was demoted to Yuzhang, and the two sons were all handed over to his wife to take back to his parents' house to raise.

In the past few years when Xu Junyi began to qualitatively, Xu Fan has missed everything, lacks discipline, and has not suffered much since he grew up.

In the past few months since Xu Fan's visit to the prime minister, his two sons have suddenly become the sons of the prime minister, and they have become the hottest figures in Chang'an City for a while. Xu Junzhong is older and has some determination, while the young Xu Junyi has long been intoxicated with this kind of sought-after, drunken and expensive life, which has never been there. came and went, and the habits of the wealthy and nobles were also unconsciously contaminated.

"Jun Yi!" Xu Junzhong grabbed his younger brother.

"Big brother, don't stop me! I have to teach these rednecks a good lesson today!" Xu Junyi said indignantly.

"You don't have to go!" Xu Junzhong said.

"What? Big brother, we have all been bullied and come to the door, can you bear it? You can bear it, I can't bear it......" Xu Junyi was about to forcibly break free from the eldest brother's hand.

"You really don't have to go, because they have already come to the door!" Xu Junzhong pointed behind Xu Junyi and said.

Xu Junyi turned his head and really saw a group of young people walking towards the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the one he knew was the one who had come back to their house and lived in their house for two or three days...... Person!

"You...... What about you! You still dare to come to my house? What a gut!" Seeing Wang Ce walking towards here, Xu Ergongzi stretched out his hand and pointed at Wang Ce, but couldn't come up with the other party's name after thinking for a long time.

Wang Ce saw that the person who gave him the most headache in the Prime Minister's Mansion was actually met at the gate, and he couldn't hide now!

"In Xia Wang Ce, I have seen the second son!" Wang Ce bowed his hand with obvious estrangement.

"What do I call you!" Xu Junyi waved his hand as if driving away flies and insects, stood on the high stone steps in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and shouted condescendingly at Wang Ce: "Say!

"What did the second prince say?" Wang Ce frowned slightly and asked.

If it weren't for my father's name, would you still want to open your grain shop in this capital? It's a joke! Now it's good, with a little grain in your hand, you dare to humiliate my family!" Xu Junyi said arrogantly.

"Please also ask the second prince to make it clear, it is impossible for the shopkeeper and the guy of my grain shop to neglect the guests!" was entangled by this full second ancestor, Wang Ce was a little bored, but it was not good to ignore it directly, so he could only ask hard.

"Hehe, slackness? It's more than slackness! I just don't know who I am! I dare to only give my family a bucket of rice every day, even if my eldest brother goes there in person, this is simply a big joke! Without my family, have you done business? Ungrateful brute!" Xu Junyi sneered three times, and said in a sinister manner: "Say, did you kid order it behind his back?"

Wang Ce's face was flushed, his chest was full of anger, and in the face of the other party's abuse, Wang Ce couldn't just punch it, after all, the other party was the teacher's son, although he was a teacher for one day and a father for life, but after all, he was separated by a layer of blood, and it was still worse after all.

Wang Ce had no choice but to take a deep breath, suppress his anger, and replied in a cold tone: "One bucket of rice per person per day is the rule set by the teacher at the beginning! If you want to buy more, you can send more people!"

"Haha, are you here to tell me a joke?" Xu Junyi laughed loudly, and his tone was indescribably cold: "There are nearly 100 people up and down in our family, according to what you said, is it possible to run to the door of your broken store to line up?" Then I, my brother, and my father and my mother, when the prime minister of the court, also want to go to line up at the door of your store?"

There were not so many people in Xu Fan's mansion at the beginning, except for Xu Fan himself, there were only a dozen servants sent by Xu Bo and the emperor to help clean up. But later, Xu Fan's wife and children naturally wanted to come from their hometown for reunion, and of course there were more than three wives and children. Xu Fan wanted to do something, but it was impossible to turn all these people away, although he had already screened them, the number of people in the Prime Minister's Mansion still rose rapidly to hundreds of people.

"I have already given the teacher's food!" Wang Ce replied coldly.

"Who is your teacher, when did my father take you as an apprentice? I heard that you used to be a little beggar, right? Just kidding! My father is the prime minister of a country, how can he accept a little beggar as a disciple?" Xu Junyi then mocked.

Wang Ce was obviously on the verge of an outbreak, Zheng Tai behind him hurriedly patted him on the shoulder, and then cynically walked up a few steps, pretending to look left and right, as if he was recognizing the way, and after looking at it a few times, he said with an apologetic face: "Yo! I'm really sorry! It turns out that we went to the wrong place! I'm sorry!"

Zheng Tai grabbed Wang Ce with a hippie smile and was about to go back, although Wang Ce was a little confused, he still complied, leaving Xu Junyi with a sneering and disdainful face on the spot.

Zheng Tai said to himself as he walked back: "Oh! It's really strange! I said that this is here, why did I go wrong? How is this good? The grain from the two ships on the dock can't be delivered to the place now! Tut-tut, it's a pity! It's all good rice!"

When Xu Junzhong, who was also in front of the gate, heard this, he hurriedly reacted, Wang Ce must have come to deliver food this time. Last time, the grain that Wang Ce left for Xu Fan alone had already been spent under their lavish consumption, and Xu Junzhong had to go to the grain store to buy grain in person.

At the beginning, as long as Wang Ce gave a little food, it was enough for the prime minister's house to eat for a few months. But the two brothers have never suffered hardship, where are they willing to live hungry days, luxury can't be talked about, but it's normal to be extravagant with three meals a day!

As the saying goes, they are like this when they are masters, where will those relatives and friends, servants, doormen, etc. be polite to them, it didn't take long to consume all the food left by Wang Ce, and in recent days, Xu Junzhong had to go out to buy food in person, and he didn't dare to make a big fanfare, for fear that his father would be punished after he found out. These days, Xu Fan's gray hair has been tortured by food, if he knew that the two of them were extravagant and wasteful on weekdays, in such a special season, they would be punished, it is conceivable.

So as soon as he heard Zheng Tai's words, Xu Junzhong hurriedly pulled his younger brother aside, walked quickly in front of Zheng Tai and the others, and stopped them.

"How much food do you have?" In order to prevent his father from discovering that there is a shortage of food, Xu Junzhong has been making up everything in the past few days, which can be regarded as a painstaking effort. For the grain shop can only buy one bucket a day, Xu Junzhong didn't dare to call a group of people to queue up, he wanted to buy grain from other grain shops at a high price, but the bosses of those grain shops all hated Xu Fan, and when he heard that he was Xu Fan's son, he didn't even do business.

Later, some "well-wishers" embezzled some grain from the grain stored in their homes and "lent" it to him, which allowed him to support him for a few more days. However, the price of this kind of "borrowing" is too great! Xu Junzhong knows more about these human relations than his younger brother, and knows that these things have to be repaid.

Now that Zheng Tai and the others have sent food, it can be regarded as a solution to his urgent need, how can Xu Junzhong not be excited!

"How much grain?" Zheng Tai thought blankly, and then said quite exaggeratedly like a country boy who boasted about how much money he had in his family: "That's a lot! A boatload full of grain is piled up as high as a mountain!"

"Really, quickly, take me there!" Xu Junzhong said with a smile on his face, and couldn't wait.

Zheng Tai looked at him, raised his eyebrows, and said proudly: "You are so stupid to me? Who are you? Why should I give you food?"

Zheng Tai's arrogance still has a strong rustic atmosphere, just like a naughty teenager in the countryside.

Xu Junzhong was ashamed in his heart, but he smiled seductively on his face: "What I said, Brother Wang is a student of my father! Then we are our own brothers!

"Hehe, student, can there be a little beggar student when the prime minister of the court, you can play me!" Zheng Tai was still rustic.

Xu Junzhong's smile was still the same, but he was secretly scolding Zheng Tai for being troublesome in his heart, so he turned to Wang Ce and said, "Senior Brother Wang, now that there is a shortage of food in the house, you can't let your father go hungry, right?"

Before Wang Ce could answer, Zheng Tai stepped in, blocked Xu Junzhong's sight, and said with a smile: "You have a fart to find him!

"In other words, I have the final say on these grains!" Zheng Tai was still proud, but the rustic spirit between his eyebrows disappeared, and gradually some edges appeared, and he sneered at Xu Junzhong: "And I...... Not a student of the Prime Minister!"

Xu Junzhong looked at Zheng Tai, and gradually understood that he was actually played by the other party. So, the little patience in his heart was consumed, he raised his head and chest, glanced at Zheng Tai coldly, and then looked at Wang Ce and said with a smile: "So, you mean the same thing?"

"You have to think about it carefully! My father's student is not so easy to be, the people who are vying to come to my father as a student, from the Suzaku Gate to the Mingde Gate, you are a little beggar-born businessman, in our eyes, it is nothing!"

Seeing that the eldest brother was also reprimanding, Xu Junyi, who had been standing on the side for a long time without making a sound, also followed, and shouted loudly: "That's right! If you kid don't know each other today, don't think about entering the door of this prime minister's mansion in the future!"

Zheng Tai finally knew why Wang Ce couldn't stand these two second ancestors, he turned his head and asked Wang Ce, "Can you do it?" I can't help it......

A group of teenagers who came with the two of them were actually already on fire in their hearts, apart from these brothers, who would these teenagers care about? Now, these two and second ancestors dared to humiliate the third brother like this, and the teenagers had already put their hands on the cloth belt behind their backs one by one. Hearing Zheng Tai say this again, the hands of the teenagers have already reached into the cloth belt and grabbed the blades, and they can take out the array at any time.

The situation is tense again, and Uncle Xu appeared on time again!

"What are you doing?" Xu Bo walked quickly to the door, but this stern tone was not said to the two sides of the confrontation here, but to the few family members who stood at the gate and watched the excitement.

"Seeing the third prince coming, I don't know if there are any rules for coming forward to greet him? Go! Go to the side courtyard and get ten boards each! So that you can remember it for a long time!" Uncle Xu rarely gets angry, but once an honest person starts a fire, it is extremely terrifying.

"What kind of third son? I haven't heard of it......" A family member muttered in a low voice.

"You! double, twenty boards! This month's monthly money is gone!" Xu Bo'er is bright-eyed, how could he not hear it.

This time, a few people in front of the door didn't dare to talk more, Xu Bo was the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he was the old man who followed Xu Fan directly, and they didn't dare to disobey Uncle Xu's authority.

But the family didn't dare, naturally someone dared!

As the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat a dog, and Uncle Xu is so obvious that he can hear Xu Junyi, even if he is shy.

"Yo, isn't this our Chief Manager Xu! What a great majesty! Third Son? Hehe, big brother, did my father and mother give us a younger brother? Why don't I know?" Xu Junyi sneered.

"Big Young Master!Second Young Master!" Xu Bo walked straight over, ignoring Xu Junyi's taunt, and just made a simple salute to the two.

"Young master, what is the young master, who is the young master?" Xu Junyi saw that this slave dared to ignore him, and he was immediately furious, and he was about to scold, but fortunately, Xu Junzhong knew the weight of Uncle Xu in his father's heart, and hurriedly stopped him.

"Let's go!" Xu Junzhong pulled his younger brother and left angrily, and before leaving, he didn't forget to give Wang Ce and the others a cold look.

After the two left, Uncle Xu sighed helplessly: "Alas......"

"Let's go in, the teacher should be in a hurry!" Wang Ce didn't say much.

The more he was like this, the more worried Uncle Xu became, and Uncle Xu, who knew the depth of these young people, hurriedly persuaded him: "The master will ...... these two sons."

"Uncle Xu, you don't need to say it, I understand! If they weren't the teacher's sons, do you think I would swallow my anger?" Wang Ce smiled, and there was still a hint of coldness in his smile.

Xu Bo saw the coldness in Wang Ce's eyes, shook his head and sighed again, and didn't say anything more, leading Wang Ce and the others into the Prime Minister's Mansion.

When the gate was empty, a young monk gradually walked away with a look of disappointment on his face......
