Chapter 40: Listening to Gossip (1)
I nodded and scooped a spoonful of my soul.
Hey, this porridge...... This porridge is smooth and not greasy, how can it taste the same as that on Taixi Mountain?
Could it be that the cook on the mountain actually came to Jinling?
No...... That's not right......
On my Taixi Mountain, except for the master and our brothers and sisters, there are no idle people waiting for them, where is the cook?
Isn't it...... Isn't it, the little white porridge I drank on the mountain was cooked by Senior Brother Xiaobai?
I turned my head and looked at him in horror: "This porridge ......"
"Well, the porridge in this store is not to my liking, I just borrowed the back kitchen and boiled a pot, if you don't drink enough, there is still some left in the pot, let Xiao Er bring it." Senior Brother Xiaobai took the spoon and didn't raise his head.
Did he really cook it?
This was a bit of a surprise to me.
After finishing lunch, the fifth senior brother ordered Xiao Er to call the shopkeeper.
"If the guest officer wants to inquire about the Xu family, the little one has little knowledge, and it is indeed not very clear......" The old shopkeeper shook his head and started haha.
When Senior Brother Jiu heard this, he took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and shook it slowly in front of the shopkeeper.
The old man in charge of the shopkeeper immediately smiled, and said very attentively: "The little one looks at the four dignified and extraordinary manners, and it is fate to see them today...... If you want to talk about this Jinling Xu family, the guest officer asked the little one really asked the right person, and the uncle of my brother-in-law's little wife received a small errand in the Xu Mansion......"
When Senior Brother Jiu heard this, his eyes flashed, and he waved his hand to let the old man in charge of the shopkeeper take a seat.
The old shopkeeper thanked him, took half a cup of herbal tea, moistened his throat, and told us about the gossip of the Xu family in Jinling.
It is said that the Xu family in Jinling is a pharmaceutical family, and the ancestor of a certain generation of the Xu family once saved the life of the founding king of the dynasty, the Holy Ancestor Gao, who was still a pawn of the peddler at that time, but it can be said that without the Jinling Xu family, there would be no Emperor Gao, and there would be no current dynasty.
Emperor Gao is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, and after ascending the throne, Emperor Gao gave the Xu family a plaque of "Wonderful Hands Rejuvenation", and also appointed the Xu family as a royal medicine supplier.
Therefore, when the dynasty was founded, the Xu family not only held the bull's ear in the medical circle, but also became rich and noble from generation to generation.
But as the saying goes, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and the Xu family's scripture that is difficult to read is Zixi. In the past 100 years, no matter how many wives and concubines the men of the Xu family marry, most of them are girls, and men are very rare.
At present, Xu Qingyang, the head of the Xu family, Xu Dashao, has four generations of single transmission, early twenties, Pan An's appearance, family wealth, and has not yet married.
Hearing this, I was a little puzzled: "I heard that Mrs. Xu is still alive, Xu Dashao is not married, and the old lady is not concerned?" ”
"Guest officer, you really got to the point, this matter has nothing to do with a maid named Yan'er in the Xu Mansion......" The old shopkeeper paused and moved his chair forward.
Oh? Could it be that Xu Dashao, who was born in this family, fell in love with a servant girl?
I hurriedly added half a cup of tea to the old shopkeeper, the old shopkeeper took a sip of tea, stroked his gray beard, and continued: "This Yan'er urinates to serve Xu Dashao, I think the two have been in love for a long time, the day before yesterday, I drank with the uncle of my brother-in-law's little wife, and I heard him mention that this Yan'er is three months pregnant, and now Mrs. Xu can't ...... it for the sake of her grandson."
I privately think that to achieve a good relationship and promote a good couple, it is not necessary to pay attention to the right person, if the husband and wife are not in love and have different interests, even if they are the right person, what is the use? It's like the elegant me and the slender...... Alas......
