Chapter 31: Each Conceives a Ghost (Part I)
This Guo shopkeeper, why can he be the number one family in Songjiang Mansion?
And by virtue of what, I can eat all the benefits of Songjiang Mansion.
The reason for this is actually quite simple.
Guo Xun, the uncle of Guo's shopkeeper, is the sixth grandson of Guo Ying, the hero who followed Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, and the hereditary title of Marquis of Wuding.
In the eighteenth year of Jiajing, that is, last year, because Guo Xun compiled the book "Biography of Heroes" and praised the merits of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, he was crowned by Jiajing as the Duke of Yiguo and the Taishi, and for a time the power leaned towards the government and the opposition.
Guo Xun's power in the DPRK and China at this time is incredible, so these juniors of the Guo family under him can also borrow his name to dominate the Songjiang Mansion in Nanzhili, and no one dares to provoke him.
And the rumor released by the shopkeeper Guo is that the shopkeeper Guo is backed by a big man in Jinling, so that he can become the famous number one master in Songjiang Mansion.
But the specific inside story, the Xu family, and several old housekeepers of the Fang family knew about it, so they were afraid of the Guo family in various places, and they didn't dare to compete with the Guo family easily.
As a result, Songjiang Mansion has a powerful Guo family.
..
Soon, Xu Rui also returned from the Fang family.
The rhetoric is still the same, but the mastermind behind the scenes has been changed from the Fang family to the Guo family.
In this way, Fang Chenghong will feel that the shopkeeper Guo is the mastermind behind the scenes, and the shopkeeper Guo also thinks that Fang Chenghong is the mastermind behind the scenes, and the two families will fall into mutual suspicion.
On the other hand, the Xu family, who is behind the blame, is just a pitiful tool to be used in the eyes of the two families.
Thinking of this, Xu Rui felt that this strategy was really powerful, and it could turn all the big families in the entire Songjiang Mansion around.
And then, Xu Rui should lie to his master, thinking of this, Xu Rui couldn't help but feel layers of guilt in his heart.
has been a housekeeper in the Xu family for thirty years, and Xu Rui will never be able to harm the Xu family.
But after thinking about it, for the benefit of the Xu family, Xu Rui fooled Master Xu a little, so that the Xu family could obtain greater benefits in the future, and it seemed that in this way, the guilt in Xu Rui's heart disappeared.
"Alas, Xu Rui, Xu Rui, you are still an animal of interest after all."
..
The Xu family's internal family meeting began to be held.
Xu Rui put forward the demands of the Fang family and the Guo family, and the entire Zheng Qi case made the Xu family take the blame, and the Xu family took all the anger of the people.
Hearing this, Xu Yu was silent, but Xu Liushi stood up violently at this time.
"This Fang Chenghong, Guo Renhe is really too deceitful. First, Zheng Qi's case left only two layers of interests for us. Now they want our Xu family to carry this black cauldron, this Fang family and the Guo family, I think I really want our Xu family to disappear from this Songjiang Mansion! ”
When Xu Yucai, the master of the Xu family, heard this, he helped Xu Liushi back to his seat, and couldn't help but soothe.
Xu Yuncai: "Madam, don't worry. This matter also has to be prioritized, it is a small matter to carry the black pot, if the Fang family and the Guo family are really hostile to us, and they really want to drive our Xu family away from Songjiang Mansion, this will be terrible. ”
Xu Liushi: "Then I'll go to my father, he is the imperial history of the Southern Metropolitan Inspectorate, and I asked my father to go to them to see if they are honest or not." ”
Xu Liushi said viciously, but unexpectedly, Xu Yu quickly covered Xu Liu's mouth.
Xu Yuncai: "You stupid mother-in-law, what are you talking about, don't you know who Guo Renhe's uncle is?" ”
"That's the famous Yiguo Gong Guo Xun, last year Guo Xun wrote a book "The Biography of Heroes", which was liked by the saint, and it was popular in front of the saint at this time."
"Do you know that in order to let Guo Xun get this position, the Holy Lord didn't even listen to the words of the first assistant Xia Yan, and insisted on letting Guo Xun enter the Duke of Yi from the Marquis of Wuding to the Duke of Yi and the Grand Master."
"Yi Guogong can work against the three scholars, including the current Shoufu. For the rest, even a little finger can crush our Xu family. ”
"At this time, if Mrs. asks her father-in-law to make a copy of the ginseng of Guo Xun, the Duke of Yiguo, it will burn the eyebrows of Lord Yama."
"Our Xu family is still a figure in Songjiang Mansion, but in the entire Nanzhili, it can't even be mixed with a medium level. Not to mention Guo Xun, who can run rampant in two capitals and thirteen provinces. ”
"Don't say it's our little Xu family, even if it's a well-respected old man in Jinling City, it can be deposed in a word. Madam, don't try to contact your father-in-law, you want to do something stupid. ”
Xu Yu was able to tell the story, and when he heard it, Xu Liu's heart was shocked for a while, and he was really confused just now.
In fact, Xu Liu's family also knows this. It's just that I lost my mind because of a moment of anger, and now my head is clear again, so I suppressed my anger.
Xu Liushi: "Then what should I do, I was dizzy just now, and I almost did something stupid"
"Now in this situation, what can I do, sir? Do we really have to bear this black cauldron? ”
Xu Yuncai was also thinking about this problem at this time, but his mind was a mess, and he couldn't deal with this situation.
It's just that at this time, Xu Yu still wants to ask another person's opinion.
Xu Yuncai: "Xu Rui, do you have any opinion on the black cauldron of the Xu family's back Zheng Qi case?" I'd like to hear your opinion. ”
Xu Rui was not surprised when he heard this, so he was not in a hurry and said what he had been preparing for a long time.
Xu Rui: "Master, this matter of carrying the black cauldron, the Fang Guo family worked together, plus the prefect was made restless by the villagers, and he was also eager to find a scapegoat." Our loss is a certainty. ”
Hearing Xu Rui speak like this, Xu Yucai and Xu Liushi were both a little lost.
Even Xu Rui, the chief housekeeper who has been in charge of the Xu family for 30 years, said that this matter could not be solved, so this matter was really a bit mysterious.
Xu Rui: "It's just that there is still a solution to the matter, but..."
Hearing Xu Rui's big turn, Xu Yuncai and his wife came to their senses again.
Xu Yuncai: "It's just what, Xu Rui, if you have something to say, say it quickly." Don't hide it, make people angry. ”
Xu Rui: "Actually, this matter of carrying the black pot is very easy to solve, and our Xu family only needs to break their tails to survive." As long as one of the Xu family is allowed to go out to carry the black cauldron, pull it out and behead it to show the public, so that the people will be angry. ”
"Next, because we carried the black cauldron, that Langzhong Zheng Qi himself, the remaining thousands of taels, and that strange thing are all in our pockets."
"Na Langzhong can use this thing to earn thousands of taels of silver in two months, then I believe that this thing will definitely earn more than Na Langzhong when it comes to our Xu family."
After Xu Rui finished saying this, Xu Liushi said.
Xu Liushi: "Then our Xu family, who is going to carry the black cauldron?" ”
Xu Rui: "You must use the master's side, preferably an immediate family, so that the Fang Guo family and the people are satisfied." ”
As soon as he heard this, Xu Yu was very calm, but Xu Liushi was furious, and his eyebrows were about to be lit.
Xu Liushi: "Xu Rui, you are so bold."
"What you mean is to choose one of my three children and pull them out to die."
"You have been in charge of the Xu family for thirty years, you don't want to be a housekeeper!"
