Chapter 28: Trail of the Pony
Their original plan was that the owner of the Ye Pavilion would come forward first, let the saint move the idea of adopting a newcomer, and then let Mr. Ji go to the book, introduce the best in the poor family and private school, and finally let the elder Dong Ge analyze two sentences in front of the saint and make a decision on the matter.
didn't expect Mrs. Min to go out in person.
Xu Siming touched his nose in disdain, "I used the post station to send a message, but the letter was detained......"
Xu Suyao was angry and funny, "You can't have this kind of temperament, don't remember, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan." β
Thinking that Xu Siming's abuse of power was not once or twice, Xu Suyao couldn't help but say a few more words, "When I was in the middle of the battle before, you borrowed the name of Mr. Ji to let the general open the city gate for you, which is already a big taboo, why don't you remember it for a long time now?" β
Xu Siming also smiled, this incident really taught him a lesson, "Fortunately, the letter was forwarded to Dong Ge Lao, Dong Ge Lao helped me stay, if it is sent to Yu Shi, I will suffer." β
After last night's incident, Xu Suyao looked at things with a little more heart, and when she heard Xu Siming say this, she was uneasy in her heart, "You ask Dong Ge to send your letter to the imperial history in a few days, if the imperial history is not submitted, it will be fine, if it is submitted, the saint will punish you, and you will bear it, and you must not be calculated because of this matter, and the Dong Mansion will be affected." β
After Xu Suyao finished speaking, Xu Siming's face changed greatly, Xu Suyao was anxious to [δΈ_ζ¬_read] the novel xstxt, and hurriedly asked, "You won't have anything else to hide from me, right?" β
Xu Siming's eyes flashed, and then he said, "It's Master Xu who you asked me to check, and he has been missing for two days." β
Tsui Keren is missing!
Xu Suyao sorted out the clues in her mind over and over again, and finally fixed on Xiao Nanting, "You send a post to the embassy, just say that we will visit His Royal Highness the eldest grandson tomorrow." β
Xu Siming thought for a moment before he spoke, "This matter is not appropriate, in my opinion, it is better to report this matter to the Holy One and let the Holy One call the shots." β
Xu Suyao's forehead was sweaty, "You said, we only found out until two days after my father disappeared, isn't it too unfilial?" β
Regardless of filial piety or not, it is a fact that Xu Keren is missing.
Over there, Xu Siming was busy investigating Xu Keren's news, sending letters to Mr. Ji, and checking the attitudes of all kinds of students in the capital. Here, Xu Suyao has nothing to do all day long, either reading books and practicing calligraphy every day, or entering the portable space to water spring water for her vegetables and grains, or preparing recipes for Xu Siming to condition her body.
On this day, Xu Suyao was sorting out the information about Xinzhuang sent by Steward Zhou, when she heard the maids say that the old patriarch was coming.
Xu Suyao hurriedly asked the maids to invite the old patriarch to the front hall, and she went into the inner room to change into the clothes of the guests.
When Xu Suyao came out, the old patriarch was holding the teacup in a daze, Xu Suyao quietly inquired, and saw that the old patriarch's complexion was not as good as that day, and sighed secretly in her heart.
The old patriarch was intimidated by Mama Leng last time, and he had a fever that night, although he was fine on the second day, but his spirit was worse. And the Lin family was too busy to take care of himself, and he was busy with the fetus, and he was busy dealing with mint, so he had no time to take care of him, and his life was getting worse and worse.
Xu Suyao softly woke up the old patriarch who was in a daze, and then said, "Why did the old patriarch come over today, if you have something, send a child to talk to the juniors, and the juniors will go over." β
The old patriarch looked at Xu Suyao with his eyes open for a long time before he spoke, "The old man heard that Master Ma is missing?" β
Xu Suyao raised her eyebrows, who dared to chew the root of her tongue in front of the old patriarch?
But her face was not obvious, "What kind of ignorant nonsense, the Holy Lord sent the master out to do errands, if the court official is missing, then it will be okay?" β
The old patriarch was still a little unconvinced, but after looking at it for a long time, he didn't see anything in Xu Suyao's eyes, so he thought about it or gave up, and no longer stuck to this topic, "Your county lord, it's not the old man's crow's mouth, the old man is also getting older, it's still not okay to have no heirs in the Xu Mansion, that Xu Siming is unwilling to be the concubine of the Xu Mansion, and the Lin family is not easy to give birth to, so it's better to let the Horse Master inherit a child from the clan and raise it by his side." β
The old patriarch has been very bad these days, thinking about it, he finally figured it out, although the Xu Mansion is prosperous and rich, it does not belong to him, Xu Siming is unfilial, and the Lin family is also unreliable, it is better to let Xu Keren choose a child from the clan to pass over, and then check for him, find a filial piety and easy to handle, and his life will be better in the future.
Xu Suyao couldn't cry or laugh, these people will always live in their own small circle, and their eyes can't see the size of a wellhead.
"Old patriarch, the child in Aunt Lin's belly is fine, as for Siming, he is not out of the family tree - he has the blood of the Xu family in his bones, how can he not be in the family tree? It's really been too busy lately - as you may have heard, the Holy Lord now attaches great importance to students from poor backgrounds, and is even more on the list to look for talented people. β
Seeing that the old patriarch still wanted to talk about the matter, Xu Suyao rolled her eyes and said, "Old patriarch, don't always worry about the things in our house, think about it, the Xu family has hundreds of people, which one is not smart?" You might as well take this opportunity to find out the children in the clan and compare them, if you can find a few talented people, send them to the capital, and let the master teach and teach in person, maybe the Xu family has another champion. β
With this arrangement, Xu Keren also has something to do, so as not to get into trouble everywhere.
Xu Suyao was like an old mother, so she said that she moved the old patriarch, and within a day, the old patriarch took his child to Xu Suyao to say goodbye, Xu Suyao hurriedly asked Bai Zhi to take twenty silver tickets of one hundred taels, and found a kung fu boy from Xu Siming, and gave it to the old patriarch in the name of Xu Siming, escorting him back to Laixing County.
After another two days, Xu Siming brought good news, and Xu Keren found it.
In the afternoon of the same day, the saint sent someone to send Xu Keren back.
When Xu Keren returned, he seemed to be seriously injured and in a coma.
It was a father-in-law who sent Xu Keren back, and he bowed down to Xu Suyao and saluted, "Master Ma was seriously injured, and the Holy Lord gave Imperial Doctor Fang to come over and stay in the mansion to take care of Master Ma." β
Xu Suyao hurriedly thanked the saint, and Mama Leng asked Bai Zhi to give her father-in-law a red envelope of two taels of silver.
The maids cleaned up a room for Imperial Physician Fang and came out, leading people to rest, Xu Suyao looked at Xu Siming with a nervous expression, "What does this mean?" β
This grace is not given to the horse master, but is clearly given to Xu Suyao.
Xu Siming thought about it again and again, and then said, "Don't think too much, there has been a student wind in the capital recently, and maybe the saint wants to show that he values people of insight." β
Xu Suyao frowned, and nodded for a long time, no longer entangled in this problem, and only sat on the edge of Xu Keren's bed to check Xu Keren's injury.
Xu Siming looked at Xu Suyao, who had a serious face, and finally probed himself out, and the words of the saint who intended to marry her and Xiao Nanting swallowed back into his stomach.
