Chengcai was beaten to death by a stick, and everyone was beaten into a mess of mud, and the Xu family all stood in the courtyard and watched, and their faces turned pale with fright.

Xu Qinglin was punished and not allowed to eat dinner, so he thought about it in the house.

Not long after Xu Sheng came back from Prince Yu's mansion, the old lady of the Xu family came over in person, in the past, someone was sent to call Xu Sheng over, this time the old lady came directly, it is conceivable that the Xu family was shocked because of this incident.

Xu Sheng knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said: "Master, it is the grandson who has no way to teach the son, if there is anything involved in this matter, the grandson's family will carry it, and they will definitely not do anything that will affect the entire Xu family." ”

The old lady is almost 100 years old, her eyes are not dazzling, her ears are not deaf, her hair is white, but she is in good spirits.

"Out of the way."

The old lady smiled and said, "When you saw me coming in person, do you think I'm angry?" You're in a hurry, I'm not angry. ”

He looked at Xu Sheng and said: "People who can't do things will see both sides of things as good and bad, and people who can do things will make both sides of things good, I have always felt that you are a person who can do things, and it seems that this is indeed the case today." ”

The old lady said: "Think about it, if we suddenly run over to show loyalty to Prince Yu, it will be too blunt, and it will seem that our utilitarianism is too direct, and our own face is not good-looking." ”

He looked at Xu Sheng and said, "You understand, why didn't Prince Yu go to investigate Yijitang's case with great fanfare?" He's just waiting for you to go. ”

The old lady said: "I came here to give you peace of mind, your family has 100,000 taels of silver, this is considered from the family, I will ask people to make up the silver for you." ”

After finishing speaking, the old lady got up and glanced at the study: "Qinglin, but you need to train and train well, this kind of mind is difficult to achieve great things." ”

Xu Sheng felt a pain in his heart, the old lady said this, Qinglin's future has been ruined by more than half, the old lady's authority in the family is undoubted, he needs to be trained well, this training is to press down, press down, I'm afraid I won't be able to get up again.

There are so many young people in the family waiting in line for the old lady to be promoted, why should the old lady bet on Qinglin alone.

"Grandchild knows, grandson will definitely train well, Qinglin is actually ......"

Without waiting for Xu Sheng to finish speaking, the old lady waved his hand and said: "I know, you can rest assured, I am going back to rest, Prince Yu's side has already put our Xu family at the forefront because of your 100,000 taels of silver, even if someone later gives more silver than us, we are also at the forefront." ”

After finishing speaking, the old lady left, and Xu Sheng was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

The old lady has so deep experience, he said that if there is no problem, it must be no problem, think about it, Prince Yu wants to turn his family into a country, and what he needs most now is the statement of the major families in Jizhou City.

Expressing this kind of thing, saying that there is a fart in the mouth, or to take out real money, who is the first, who is the most, then the weight in Prince Yu's heart will naturally be heavier.

But because of this incident, the Xu family paid 100,000 taels of silver, and his son's future may be pressed because of the old lady's words.

Even if the old lady said that the 100,000 taels of silver came from the family and would be replenished to him, he still lost, very much.

Because the interests of the family are not the interests of his family, the interests of his family are all in the future of his son Xu Qinglin.

What the old lady cares about is not his family, nor a Xu Qinglin, but the whole family, what the old lady said is that the family can rest assured, not him.

Even if Prince Yu is really the emperor at that time, the Xu family can share more benefits on Prince Yu's side, and that is also the family's share, what can he have in his hands?

This is equivalent to sacrificing the future of his son Xu Qinglin to change the future of the Xu family.

The more I thought about it, the more angry I became.

Especially after the old lady left, his wife was crying beside him, which made him even more irritable.

"Don't cry!"

Xu Sheng glared at his wife and said: "Didn't the old lady say, there will be no problem, Qinglin will be fine, in the future, I will walk around more on Prince Yu's side, what will happen to Qinglin." ”

Madame complained, "Are you really stupid to me? In the family, the other families are staring at it, Qinglin's accident, the other families can't wait to step on Qinglin again, only by stepping on Qinglin, the children of other families who are not as good as Qinglin can climb up. ”

Xu Sheng said angrily: "What you said, are you thinking that I don't know?" Am I not thinking as much as you do? Now that things are like this, what else can you do with me? If I hadn't taken the first step to pay 100,000 taels of silver, would the old lady have the attitude I have today? Don't talk about Qinglin, you and I have to be dealt with by the old lady! ”

Madame was frightened by him and retreated, and she didn't dare to complain anymore, but she couldn't help crying.

"Master, what can I do about this, if Qinglin can't get ahead like this, won't our family be ruined?"

She leaned forward again, lowered her voice and said, "No, Qinglin's future is ruined, but the wild boy named Li Qi is getting better and better, I can't swallow this breath." ”

Xu Changchang let out a long breath, nodded and said, "I know, I don't need you to say it...... I was thinking about it just now, 100,000 taels of silver, the full support of a family, if I can't exchange it for the life of that wild boy, this is indeed a great loss. ”

He looked at his wife and said: "What Prince Yu wanted, I have already given it, I want it, if Prince Yu thinks that the Xu family is more important than a Li Qi, then he should not ask again, now I am more worried about Xiahou Zhuo, how can I bypass Xiahou Zhuo......"

After a pause, he continued: "This Xiahou Zhuo is really good to Li Qi, if he is provoked, Prince Yu will not be angry because of Li Qi, but he will be angry because of Xiahou Zhuo, it's not easy to do......"

He leaned back, closed his eyes, and said to himself: "I have to think of a way to let Li Qi die outside Jizhou City, and it can't be involved with our family, it's best if it has nothing to do with our family." ”

About a moment later, he opened his eyes suddenly, looked at his wife and said, "Did I accept a doorman a while ago, a disciple of Mr. Yuming, who came to find me because he was desperate." ”

"Yes, sir."

Mrs. said: "After Mr. Yuming's accident, he ran over to take refuge, because his father and the master were classmates back then, and the master relented for a while and left people behind, and I also quarreled with the master for this matter." ”

Xu Sheng asked, "What about people?" ”

Madame said timidly, "I ...... I put people in the backyard to split and raise horses, sir, I'm also for your good, in case someone finds out......"

"It's fine!"

Xu Sheng stood up and said, "As long as the person is still here, you go and find him." ”

Madame nodded hurriedly: "I'll let people go to him." ”

The next day, Four Pages Academy.

When Li Diudiu was feeding the Condor and the dog, Dean Gao came over with his hands behind his back, and there was actually Mr. Yan next to him, Mr. Yan and Li Diudiu went back to the academy together, he went to his small courtyard and said to clean up, but he didn't expect to come over with Dean Gao.

Li Diudiu hurriedly stood up straight, and then leaned over and bowed: "Meet the dean." ”

Dean Gao's face was cold, he seemed to be full of disgust for Li Diudiu, and his face was clearly written.

Li Diudiu knew that this was all because he was close to Gao Xining, and Dean Gao didn't like him, probably because he didn't think he was worthy of Gao Xining.

Dean Gao looked at the wild boar and the spear falcon, snorted and said, "Plaything is demoralized! ”

Li Diudiu bent down and listened, saying in his heart that if Dean Gao didn't allow him to raise these two little beauties in the academy, then take them home and raise them.

"Something......"

Dean Gao softened his tone and said, "Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Yuming's disciple Gao Liang came to see me, and he has been hiding and living a hard life these days......

Dean Gao looked behind him, and after making sure that there was no one else around, he continued: "He told me that Mr. Yuming has some books in his collection, as well as his own works, and after Mr. Yuming's accident, Gao Liang secretly took these things out and hid them in a place in Tang County. ”

"He said that he didn't dare to bring so many things directly to Jizhou, for fear of being interrogated, but those things were Mr. Yuming's hard work, and if they were ruined like this, it would be really distressing."

Dean Gao said: "There is a holiday in the academy, most of the teachers are not there, and many of the disciples are not there, there are still five days before the Chinese New Year, you and Mr. Yan go to Tang County to bring things back, just say that I bought things, and the city gate will be released, if it is fast, three days back and forth is enough." ”

Li Diudiu said: "The students will bring things back. ”

Dean Gao nodded, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Mr. Yuming has a talent for governing the world, and you can also read more of the books he has written." ”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Li Diudiu looked at Mr. Yan and asked, "Why did this happen so suddenly?" ”

Mr. Yan shrugged his shoulders and said, "That Gao Liang, I recalled, we have also met, at that time in the county seat of Tang County, Mr. Yuming did tell him to go back and find a way to steal all the books." ”

Li Diudiu said: "I still vaguely remember this person, thin and tall, as if he had no power to restrain the chicken, but it didn't seem that Mr. Yuming told him to do it at that time, but he took the initiative to do it." ”

Mr. Yan shook his head and said, "I don't remember very clearly, but there are things." ”

Li Diudiu snorted: "Then let's leave early tomorrow morning?" If it goes well, you will be able to come back on the twenty-ninth without delaying the New Year. ”

Mr. Yan said, "Do you want to tell Xiahou?" ”

Li Didiu thought for a while and said: "It's okay to tell him, let's go to his house for dinner last night, who would have thought that Prince Yu was actually at his house, fortunately we saw Prince Yu's car, otherwise it would be too embarrassing...... This Chinese New Year's greeting, you say whether you want a red envelope or not, if people give it, take it or not, it's embarrassing to think about it. ”

Mr. Yan: "......"

Li Diudiu smiled and continued: "It seems that Prince Yu seems to be staying at Xiahou's house for a few days, and he should accompany Xiahou and his mother to the New Year, let's talk to Xiahou, don't take him with you, let him accompany his father and mother at home these days." ”

Mr. Yan nodded and said, "It's okay." ”

He paused and said, "Bring your weapons." ”

Li Diudian snorted: "Be prepared." ”

Mr. Yan thought for a while and added: "Bring Zhuang Invincible." ”

Li Didiu smiled: "Okay. ”
