Chapter 269: Response (October Pink 1890+)
Xu Yanbang remembered what Xu Shao had told him and his eldest brother two years ago, and fell silent.
After a while, he asked, "Does the third brother know about this matter?" β
Xu Shao shook his head, "Of course he doesn't know what to do." It has nothing to do with him. β
Listening to Xu Shao's indifferent tone, Xu Yanbang's mouth was full of bitterness, he stayed for a long time, and said in a low voice: "Dad, then you shouldn't be right...... Madam, is it better to have a third brother? β
Xu Shao changed the topic lightly, "You went to the Marquis of Zhuguo's mansion, and you can see the Marquis of Zhuguo?" β
These words reminded Xu Yanbang, and he put down his affection for children for the time being, and said to Xu Shao: "Dad, I just got the news that the post of Shenwu General of Zhu Guohou was dismissed yesterday. β
Xu Shao was taken aback, Xiao Suo's face immediately dispersed, and he turned around and asked him, "Is this true?" Listen to whom? β
"The Marquis of Zhu Guo said to me personally, this is still false." Xu Yanbang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Dad, I used to think that my position in Shuobei was obtained by my own ability, but now I know that I can be my protector in Shuobei with peace of mind, and my father is indispensable for me to give advice in Chang'an, so that I can sit firmly in Shuobei." Xu Yanbang said sincerely.
Xu Shao waved his hand indifferently, "It's nothing, I'm your father, I don't protect you, who do I protect?" - It's just the Marquis of Zhuguo, isn't he a subordinate of Prince Yi? And doesn't His Majesty appreciate him very much? β
Xu Yanbang thought for a while and said, "Dad, the Marquis of Zhu Guohou has repeatedly told me that I don't need my father to take action in this matter, let's just wait and see what happens." β
Xu Shao took his hand and turned back from the window. Walking into the inner room of the study, he took out a scroll from the secret porcelain vat next to the wall, unfolded it and spread it on the long case of Huanghuali against the wall.
Xu Yanbang followed, glanced at it, and said in surprise: "Dad, this ...... This is the map of Daqi! β
Xu Shao glanced at him, "I naturally know that this is the map of Daqi." What do you do with your karma? β
ββ¦β¦ Dad, Daqi is a map, and private people are not allowed to hide it. Xu Yanbang was stunned for a long time. Muttered in a low voice.
"Hmm. I know it. Xu Shao said lightly, and continued to look at Kanyutu, "Five surnames and seven wangs, and nine surnames of Zhaomu." Which one doesn't have a map of Daqi? The difference is just that some are more nuanced. Some of them are rougher. β
Xu Yanbang was speechless. All right. The gate valve of the Daqi scholar clan turned out to be a copy per person, and His Majesty knew the way. It's definitely discouraged......
Xu Shao heard Xu Yanbang's muttering, but laughed, "Do you think Your Majesty doesn't know the way?" - Your Majesty is better than anyone else. Don't look at it, the Qi family was also one of the five surnames and seven wangs. In the previous dynasty, when the Great Zhou Dynasty was in power, it was also ordered by the court that the people were not allowed to privately hide the map. But at that time, the gate valve of the scholar clan still had one per person. This kind of thing has always been tacit. β
I see. Xu Yanbang nodded, it seems that he still has a lot to learn.
ββ¦β¦ The Marquis of Zhu Guo is really high. You see that in the west, in the south, and even in the north, there are countless swords and soldiers hidden. Xu Shao looked at it for a long time, and suddenly said to Xu Yanbang: "Since the Marquis of Zhu Guo has resigned, there is no point for you to go to Shuobei to eat sand again." Listening to his father's words, Ming'er went to the military department to resign from the post of Shuobei Protector. - Whoever wants this position, let him go. I'm afraid that his appetite is not so big, and when the time comes, he will be able to eat, but he will die. Xu Shao said gloomily.
Of course Xu Yanbang was unwilling, so he stiffened his neck and said, "I'm not going." Why do you want me to resign from this position? If he has the ability, he will drive me down justly. β
Xu Shao glanced at Xu Yanbang, his mind changed, and he persuaded him with the thing he cared about the most, "You are not young, take this opportunity to settle the family affairs at home, and have another son, so that you can be worthy of your ancestors." When can't you do the things of an official? If you recognize the location, you can still get up to the bottom of your majesty. You have to know the Tao and the affairs of the court, and you must take a long-term view. Suffering losses is to take advantage of greater advantages. Don't worry, your father will definitely help you get this field back. β
Although Xu Yanbang was a little awkward, Xu Shao's fatherly heart still made him feel very warm. Thinking about it again, Du Hengxue is afraid that he is going to return to the sect, he might as well take this opportunity to stay in Chang'an and work hard to let Du Hengxue return to the Du clan, and when the time comes, no one will talk about the matter of "stepbrother and stepsister" anymore.
He can also ask to marry Du Hengxue openly.
The more he thought about it, the more feasible he felt, Xu Yanbang immediately changed his mind and said with a smile: "Since Dad said so, I will listen to Daddy." I'll go to the military department tomorrow to ask for my resignation. After speaking, he said: "If I lose the position of Shuobei Duhu, the Taiyuan Wang family will no longer think about marrying me, right?" β
Xu Shao smiled and kicked Xu Yanbang, "You still kicked your nose in the face." I don't think Miss Wang will look down on you, and you shouldn't get too carried away. β
Xu Yanbang dodged with a smile and said, "It's best if you don't fancy me." We have a lot of good sons and daughters in the Xu family, so let her pick someone else. β
Xu Shao smiled and said nothing, and took Xu Yanbang back to the inner courtyard for dinner.
β¦β¦
In the courtyard of the Taiyuan Wang family in Chang'an, Wang Zhixing, Wang Zheng, Wang Wenlin, and Wang Fanghua were also sitting opposite each other for dinner.
Generally, when people like them go to other people's guests, they have to eat lunch and dinner, and then wait for the curfew before going home. It's all a sign of status.
But the Xu family actually only left them for lunch, and no one mentioned the matter of dinner, and later even the accompanying guests ran away without a trace, which made the Wang family extremely embarrassed.
Wang Fanghua was extremely dissatisfied with Xu Yanbang, and said indignantly: "The Xu family is originally a noble family that cannot be on the stage, and it is not a famous family among the five surnames and seven wangs at all. - We can see them, they even take the shelf! β
Wang Wenlin snorted, knowing that Sister Dao had these resentful words because she was greatly swept away today, so she implicitly persuaded: "You also have something wrong." To be honest, now that we are asking the Xu family for this matter, we really shouldn't lose Mrs. Xu's face. β
Wang Zheng's family disagreed when he heard this, and coughed and said, "Lin'er, how can people from the Hanmen Shu clan deserve to eat at the same table with us?" To tell you from the bottom of my heart, if it weren't for your father stopping me, I would have wanted to propose to let that Xu Lao'er divorce his house-filling wife so that I could marry our Fanghua and be his daughter-in-law. Otherwise, I am really unwilling to let my daughter serve a mother-in-law from a poor family. ββFanghua is the Taiyuan Wang family and the Xingyang Zheng family, and the status is extremely noble, in fact, it is not necessary to be the Xu family. β
Wang Zhixing was silent for a long time, shook his head and sighed: "Alas, if it was twenty years earlier, we naturally don't need to take Mrs. Xu in our eyes. But our Taiyuan Wang clan is not what it used to be, and we can't say what it used to be. Then he looked at Wang Zheng and said warmly: "You should pay attention to it in the future." There are some things that cannot be said again. And Mrs. Xu, I think Brother Xu also values it. Also, you see that the son she gave birth to is Xu Sangongzi, who is completely a young phoenix and a young phoenix, and the blue is better than the blue, and he is better than his two brothers. β
Wang Fanghua shook his head disdainfully, "Xu Sangongzi was born well, but with such a mother, he is not much better." In fact, in the Xu family, only the second son is outstanding. Look at the eldest son, although he is also a talent, there are too many pets in the room. When I look at his wife, I see people with a sad face, even if they are smiling, they are full of sadness and lingering. And Xu Ergongzi, I heard that there is no connecting room. These two brothers are really one in the sky and the other on the ground. β
Speaking of the maid in the room, Wang Wenlin couldn't help complaining, and said to Wang Zheng's family: "Mother, you have also seen it today, the eldest son of the Xu family's room and concubines, one is more delicate and gorgeous than the other, you look at the room you picked for me, all of them are like burnt rolls, or particularly thick rolls." - I don't want to go back to my room when I see them. β
It turns out that the royal family's family motto, the gentlemen's maids, for fear that they will stir up the wind and rain with their appearance, so that the gentlemen who are new to the clouds and rain can't extricate themselves, and they should not be particularly beautiful. Generally, it is required to be dignified and upright, not to be flattering, and then to be physically strong and tossed. Therefore, when the sons of the Wang family get married, they can completely leave the room in their minds, and they are particularly harmonious with their wives, and they will always have a good life for a few years.
When it was time for Wang Zheng to pick a house maid for his son, he implemented these two items more thoroughly.
Wang Wenlin's maids are taller and stronger than the other, and their appearance can only be described as "honest".
Wang Wenlin regarded having sex with these intercourse maids as hard labor, and he hid every day.
These maids listened to Wang Zheng's words very much, and firmly remembered that they had to have sex once the next day, and when the time came, they would go to block Wang Wenlin, block it and take it to the house, and strip it naked, making Wang Wenlin miserable, and it was not easy to tell people.
Seeing Xu Yanhui's two glamorous and enchanting concubines in the Xu family today, he really looked straight in his eyes.
Wang Zhixing thought for a while and said, "The people around Lin Er really don't look like them. It didn't matter when he was in Taiyuan, but now in Chang'an, he still found a few more passable ones. Otherwise, people will see it and think that our Wang family is this kind of person. β
"It's all this kind of person...... Wang Wenlin muttered, and then immediately said: "Those maids in my room should be dismissed." The Lu family is about to pass through the door, will keeping them block the Lu family? β
The Lu family is Wang Wenlin's unmarried wife, and they will get married next spring.
Wang Zheng nodded reluctantly, "Okay." Let's go back and talk about it. β
Wang Zhixing is not good to talk about, so he talked about going to the palace for the New Year, "I am in contact with the palace attendants, hoping to get a post in the palace, and during the New Year, I will also take Wenlin and Fanghua into the palace." Although we fancy the Xu family, in case it doesn't work, let's make a few more preparations. It is also a way to go to the palace to meet His Majesty. β
