Xufu, the capital city.

The old butler cautiously pushed open the door, quietly walked out of the study, and instructed his subordinates to bring in the hot water and hot towels that had been prepared long ago.

Seeing that the door of the study was not closed, Xu Fan knew what it meant, he hesitated for a while before pushing the door in To be honest, he really didn't want to go in, this year's life was not very easy, and even the father of the New Year did not give a good face.

Xu Fan faintly felt that his father's mood should be linked to the southeast war situation, a few days ago he sent a war report, Nanjing Ministry of Rites Shangshu Min Rulin Jingchazhong was impeached Zhishi, was robbed and killed on the way home, and the whole dynasty scolded Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang, and since then his father's mood has suddenly improved slightly.

After a while, Xu Jie wiped his face and hands under the service of his subordinates, and the subordinates came out one after another, except for Xu Jie, only Xu Fan and Miss Xu Si were left in the study.

There was a long scroll full of handwriting on the desk, and Xu Fan looked at it, it seemed to be a stele.

"It's a pity that Wutang is driving a crane on this." Xu Jie sighed, in his plan, Min Rulin is an important chess piece, not to mention the rest, once the Beijing Ministry of Rites is vacant, Min Rulin is extremely competitive.

"Father wants someone to send the inscription?" Miss Xu Si suddenly said: "Wutang Gongshi Forest has a high reputation, so it is better to let my brother go to Huzhou Wucheng to pay respects." ”

Xu Fan shuddered, what kind of joke, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu can be killed...... Could it be that I, the son of the second assistant of the cabinet, can still have a higher status than the secretary of the Ministry of Rites?

Besides, last year, the Japanese invaded Huzhou in Jiaxing, Wuzhen, Nanxun, and Deqing were all breached, and thousands of young people were coerced out of the sea...... Xu Fan felt that his legs were a little weak, so he was busy and made an excuse.

"Uh...... Father, the child is sick these days...... Oh, it's Ji who is sick......"

Xu Jie gave his daughter a warning look, since the granddaughter came out of the cabinet, the brother and sister have turned against each other, the daughter refused a lot of scholarly doors, stayed in the study for a few hours a day, and even began to undertake the paperwork of some of the staff around Xu Jie.

Xu Jie still felt guilty about his daughter, and his favorite husband became a niece-in-law in a blink of an eye...... This matter has been faintly spread, and it is about to become a big joke in Beijing.

"Father, Huzhou and Jiaxing are too chaotic, not to mention the Japanese Kou, and the White Lotus Sect is making trouble."

"Where did the White Lotus Sect come from?" Miss Xu Si sneered: "It's just that Hu Zongxian is taking the name of the White Lotus Sect to shirk responsibility. ”

"But Wutang Gong ......" Xu Fan had an idea, "let Qian Yuan go, isn't he patrolling Zhejiang, just public and private!" ”

This "inspiration" made Xu Jie completely disappointed in this son, it was really a mud that couldn't support the wall, and it also made Miss Xu Si angry...... When I thought of Qian Yuan and his niece in the southeast, I panicked, and then I thought that Qian Yuan went south and became famous all over the world again, and the hatred in my heart was about to overflow.

But the more Xu Fan thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was good, he didn't take advantage of his son-in-law at all, and now he didn't even let the Qian family restaurant hang the account, now you Qian Yuan is running a leg for your father-in-law, even if you meet a widow, don't you have a famous escort team by your side?

The next moment, the angry scolding mixed with Songjiang slang exploded in the study, and Xu Jie slapped the table vigorously and scolded...... Xu Jie's family was not rich when he was young, but when Xu Fan and Miss Xu Si were born, Xu Jie had at least been admitted to the Jinshi, and he didn't understand this country slang.

Miss Xu Si is Miss Boudoir, so she can't understand it at all, but after all, Xu Fan has been in Huating County for 20 years, and she can still understand some of the words.

What classmates, what the difference between cloud and mud, what tiger father and dog, what waste......

Xu Jie's heart is also bitter, his son and Qian Yuan were classmates, a hopeless career can only enter the Beijing Yin Shi, and he doesn't know anything, even Yan Shifan, who also has no serious reputation, looks down on him, and Qian Yuan works hard, both civil and military, and the weak crown has become famous all over the world, and the future is immeasurable, even characters like Yan Song and Yan Shifan have to be courteous and have three points.

No matter what faction, what background, what kind of attitude they have towards Qian Yuan himself and the scholars of Suiyuan, after Qian Yuan turned the tide in Jiaxing Mansion last year, officials in Beijing had a unanimous evaluation of Qian Yuan.

This son will inevitably be famous in history, and there will be a legend in the annals of history in the future.

With such a stark contrast, how can Xu Jie not get angry...... Of course, Qian Yuan is also responsible.

Last year, Qian Yuan suddenly snatched the Zhejiang Patrol Press, and this year Xu Jie secretly tried to use the relationship between Xu Wei and Shen Lian to make a ...... Xu Jie has already determined that the meat buns beat the dog, and there is no return.

Although there was no gap on the surface, and even in the first month, Xu Fu also received a New Year's gift from Qian Yuan from the southeast, but Xu Jie and Qian Yuan both knew that the two families had completely parted ways.

The most direct proof is that Xu Jie let his henchmen spread the news about Shen Lian, killing two birds with one stone, trying to make Xu Wei, who Qian Yuan had placed beside Emperor Jiajing, lose power, and trying to make Suiyuan break with the Yan Party, but this plan was unsuccessful...... After that, the shopkeeper of the Qian family restaurant openly came to Xu's mansion to ask Xu Fan for debts.

Xu Jie's anger is here, his son is so stupid that he can't even figure out the relationship between the two families...... What kind of person is Qian Zhancai, not to mention your father-in-law, even I, the second assistant of the cabinet, may not be in my eyes.

The stormy reprimand lasted for more than a quarter of an hour, and Miss Xu Si diligently poured a cup of tea and fell into the well with practical actions...... Xu Fan was ruthless in his heart, people fancy my daughter, it's reasonable for you to steal poems to sell them!

Miss Xu Si sneered and looked back at her brother who was kneeling on the ground, today can only be regarded as your bad luck...... The fire in my father's heart has been holding back for a long time, and he finally has a chance to vent it.

Indeed, Xu Jie has been aggrieved for several months.

At the end of last year, a few stunned young men provoked Wu Peng, the secretary of the ministry, but they slapped him with their backhands through Jingcha several times in a row, and Xu Jie couldn't dodge...... I can only cover my face and cry, when will I be able to Jingcha for two consecutive years, it is really unreasonable.

Xu Jie has survived for so many years, nothing more than to survive Yan Song, and in addition to shrinking his head over the years, the most important thing he has done is nothing more than to gather forces, and when he ascends to the position of first assistant, he will begin to stick to his position.

And this time, Wu Peng killed seven in and seven out with a spear, and scattered at least half of the forces around Xu Jie.

How does this make Xu Jie not feel aggrieved...... It's just that the fire in my heart has not been vented for a few months, and I have to put a smile on Yan Song and Yan Shifan every day when I go to Xiyuan, and today Xu Fan hit the muzzle.

However, Xu Fan was lucky tonight, and the knock on the door outside brought Xu Jie's reprimand to an end.

The one who entered the door was Xu Jie's henchman, who had followed him for decades.

"Master, walk in the palace." The old housekeeper saw Xu Jiehuo Ran get up, and hurriedly added, "It's the palace, not the West Garden." ”

Xu Jie, who had already gotten up, paused, sat back down, and waved his hand to let the old butler retreat.

It's not that Xu Jie's doesn't care, it's really that the landlord Emperor Jiajing doesn't care, he has lived in Xiyuan for more than ten years, and the celebrant supervisor, cabinet and even favored concubines are all in Xiyuan, who cares about the fire over there, anyway, the board can't hit his Xu Jie's ass.

Looking at his son who was kneeling on the ground and poking his head out, Xu Jie couldn't help but feel sad, not everyone can live as long as Yan Song, and he is also close to his sixtieth birthday, can the future of the Xu family be entrusted to the eldest son?

In the feudal era, it was best to maintain the prosperity of the family, and it was best to have excellent heirs, and if not, the in-laws could play a strong role in protection.

For the sake of the future of the Yan family, Yan Song pulled down his old face and begged Emperor Jiajing to come forward, and finally let his granddaughter and the next heir of the Kong family marry.

Xu Jie has no face in front of Emperor Jiajing, and Xu Fan's grandchildren are already a lot, and the eldest grandson-in-law Qian Yuan ...... I'm afraid that it can't be trusted, the second son Xu Ying and Jinyiwei commanded Lu Bing's daughter to marry, but Jiajing died, Lu Bing will inevitably lose power, this is a chess piece that is useful now, but will be abolished in the future, and the young son is too young.

Xu Jie pondered in his heart for a while, and finally his eyes fell on his daughter.
