Chapter 7 Xiang Family Visitors

“…… Wangzi is on the bank of the river, and his heart is sick and his teeth are unspeakable, and he is galloping in Zhoudaoxi. Seeking traces of a son, wanting to dry up ....... ”

The ancients liked to sing the wine, the more excited they sang, the happier they were, the more proud they were, and the children of the Xiang family were no exception. Fortunately, Yu Jian is very self-contained, and he deliberately made friends with the Xiang family brothers who dare to fight, not only did he not show the slightest disgust and displeasure, but also asked the servants to prepare the bedroom, so that the Xiang family brothers, who were generally drunk and had a red face and thick neck, rested at their house for the night.

Of course, Yu Jian's decision also caused the entire Yu family to not be able to sleep well for half the night. If it weren't for her sister Yu Miaoge's desperate resistance, Yu Ji would have wanted to rush out several times and drive all the children of the Xiang family who were still singing loudly in the middle of the night out of her house.

The matter was not over, and the next day after letting the children of the Xiang family mix a sumptuous breakfast at their house, Yu Jian also took out two fine silks, saying that they were given to Xiang Kang's two uncles to make two new clothes, and they had to be taken away by the children of the Xiang family.

On the way back to Shiling Pavilion after leaving Yan Jiting, Xiang Kang, who had been wondering if the girl of the Yu family yesterday was Yu Ji, was nothing superfluous, but the children of the Xiang family, who had not been able to eat and drink for a long time, were all smiling, and they were full of praise for Xiang Kang's ability to eat and drink and make friends, Xiang Zhuang also patted Xiang Kang's shoulder excitedly and said: "Okay, I really didn't see that you had this ability before, I knew that you could coax Yu Gong like this, we should have come to make this friend with the Yu family a long time ago." ”

"Don't worry about dealing with outsiders in the future." Xiang Sheng also said loudly: "Xiang Kang, you come out for an interview, our brothers will contribute, they can talk and fight, see who dares to get along with our Xiang family." ”

"Xiang Kang, why don't you go to Xiaxiang City again and talk to the Zhao family who has done the biggest deal?" Xiang Guan was not greedy enough, and said: "Let's see if we can make the Zhao family also respect us as guests and invite us to a big meal?" How many fine silk silks will you give us? ”

Xiang Kang, who knew Yu Gong's true intentions, smiled bitterly, but it was not good to directly sweep the happiness of the brothers, so he said: "Let's talk about it later, see if we can come up with any way, we can't go too far, if others think that our Xiang family's children only know how to cheat and cheat around, the face of the eldest father will be lost by us." ”

When it came to the face of the ancestors, the children of the Xiang family, who wanted to save face, also nodded one after another, and did not continue the topic. However, the good mood of the children of the Xiang family has not been affected, there are still talking and laughing about yesterday's good wine and meat, and the beautiful daughter in Yujian also unknowingly crossed the county border and returned to the territory of Shiling Pavilion in Xiaxiang County, and soon saw the village where he lived.

It's time to have something to do, and I'm about to go back home, and surprise the two uncles with two fine silk horses, but suddenly a few men with swords came to meet him, and the people led by the Xiang family brothers all knew each other, it was Feng Zhong, the head of the Shiling Pavilion who was mentioned by the children of the Xiang family outside the city the day before yesterday, and two of the armed men behind him were the pavilion guards of the Shiling Pavilion, and there were also two diners who often ate at Feng Zhong's house - a certain person who drilled his crotch also used to be such a helper.

has always hated the Qin State and the Qin State government, of course, the children of the Xiang family will not have a good face towards Feng Zhong, a grassroots civil servant of the Great Qin Dynasty, and they want to rub shoulders with Feng Zhong one by one with their heads held high, who knows that Feng Zhong suddenly stretched out his hand, blocked the way of the children of the Xiang family, and said in a big way: "Wait a minute, a few Xiang Gongzi, I have something to ask you." ”

"What's the matter?" Xiang Zhuang asked impatiently.

"Where did you get your silk?" Feng Zhong asked, pointing to the silk that the Xiang family's children were carrying.

"Someone else sent it, what's wrong?" Xiang Zhuang asked rhetorically.

"Who sent it?" Feng Zhong asked suspiciously.

"Who sent it to you?" Xiang Sheng asked angrily.

"Where the responsibility lies, you have to take care of it." Feng Zhong, whose position and power are similar to those of the director of the police station in the countryside, put up the official tree, and said with a somewhat unkind smile: "These two silks are not cheap, a few Xiang Gongzi, please tell me who gave you them?" Why did I send you? ”

"Listening to your tone, it seems that you suspect that our two silk horses were stolen and robbed?" Xiang Zhuang understood what Feng Zhong meant, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly.

Feng Zhong didn't answer, but his smile was even more unkind, Xiang Kang didn't want to conflict with Feng Zhong over such a trivial matter, he wanted to stand up and explain the origin of the silk, but Xiang Guan next to him had already stepped forward, pushed away Feng Zhong who was blocking the way, and said loudly: "Brothers, don't talk to him, go, go home." ”

"Let's go, go home." Xiang Zhuang also strode forward, and sneered at Feng Zhong and said: "Whether it is suspected that it was stolen, or whether it is suspected that we robbed it, even if we go to investigate, we can't find out, don't blame us for being polite." ”

The children of the Xiang family agreed to follow one after another, except for Xiang Kang, they all sneered at Feng Zhong, and asked Feng Zhong to check the origin of the silk himself. Feng Zhong was secretly angry in his heart, but he was afraid that the children of the Xiang family were too numerous and all of them were carrying swords, and at the same time, he had no way to prove that the silk of the children of the Xiang family was not from the right path, so he could only watch the children of the Xiang family swaggering past in front of him, full of suspicion but helpless.

The children of the Xiang family walked away with their heads held high, and several pavilion guards and idlers also gathered around Feng Zhong, talking in a low voice about the origin of the silk of the children of the Xiang family, all of them suspected that the two silks were not from the right path. One of the pavilion guards also said: "Pavilion chief, these broken children are too arrogant, relying on their ancestors to be a little famous, they usually don't give us face, and they dare to push you today, and if you don't want to cure them, we won't be able to do our errands in the future." ”

Feng Zhong didn't speak with a gloomy face, and suddenly had an idea, and hurriedly pointed to the pavilion guard who instigated him to take revenge on the children of the Xiang family, and ordered: "Follow them quietly, go and eavesdrop on what they say, these broken children are all loud-mouthed and love to shout, and they will definitely tell the origin of the silk by themselves, and inquire clearly If the two silks are really stolen by them, there will be a way to clean them up." ”

…………

Or continue to look at the situation on the side of the Xiang brothers, laughing at Feng Zhong and the others for their cowardice and returning to the village, Xiang Kang and the others, who were anxious to surprise the two uncles, of course went straight to their own residence, first arrived at the nearest Xiang Kang's second uncle Xiang Liang's house, who knew that the door was closed and could not be opened, the Xiang brothers were strange, and were about to ask the neighbors about the whereabouts of their uncle, but the second uncle suddenly walked out of the house of the third uncle Xiang in the distance, stood in front of the courtyard gate and greeted: "Zhuang'er, Sheng'er, I'm here, you all come here, come here." ”

also said that the second uncle and aunt went to the third uncle's house to visit the door, and the children of the Xiang family did not suspect him, so they hurriedly promised to walk over quickly, Xiang You also raised the silk in his hand, and said with a smile: "Uncle, look at what this is?" ”

To the surprise of the children of the Xiang family, the second uncle and mother were not surprised or happy to see the two fine silks, but just urged the children of the Xiang family to hurry over, and after the children of the Xiang family walked in front of her, the second uncle and mother whispered: "Come in, your third uncle is back!" ”

"What? Father he ....... ”

Xiang You's surprise words were interrupted by the eyes of the second uncle and mother, and after finally remembering that his father was still a murderer, Xiang You hurriedly rushed into the door of his own courtyard, and the children of the Xiang family were also very surprised, so they hurriedly followed, Xiang Kang was stunned, and couldn't help but say in his heart: "Uncle Xiang? Is that the scum of the Xiang family who ate inside and outside at the Hongmen banquet? ”

After all, it was his relatives in this era, and after a while, Xiang Kang still rushed into the house of the third uncle and aunt. After entering the door, Xiang Kang saw at first glance that the two brothers Xiang You and Xiang Sui had knelt in front of a middle-aged man and were crying, the third uncle and mother were also standing next to wipe their tears, and the other Xiang family children saluted the middle-aged man. ”

There were too many nephews and nephews, and Uncle Xiang couldn't talk to the children of the Xiang family one by one, so he just nodded to Xiang Kang, who came in last, and then said: "Sui'er, You'er, and all the virtuous nephews, please be polite, get up quickly, let me see what you look like." ”

Following the Xiang family's children to agree to get up, through the light of the sun in the room outside the window, Xiang Kang first found that his cheap third uncle Xiang Uncle and Xiang Sui and Xiang You looked very similar, and then the corner of his eyes swept away, and Xiang Kang found that there was still a middle-aged man sitting in the corner of the room, looking like he was in his forties, with a round face and extraordinary bearing, and it seemed that he had never appeared in the memory of the previous Xiang Kang, and he should have never seen the last Xiang Kang.

The mystery was quickly revealed, and after receiving the salutes and greetings from the sons and nephews, Uncle Xiang took the initiative to introduce the identity of the person, pointed to the person and said to the children of the Xiang family: "Children, I have seen your Uncle Han Liang Han, I have been living in your Uncle Han's house for nearly a year, and I have been taken care of by him, so I salute him quickly." ”

Xiang Kang and all the children of the Xiang family agreed, and saluted Han Liang one after another, Han Liang's smile was considered a return gift, and Xiang Bo introduced his sons and nephews to Han Liang one by one, Han Liang nodded one by one, and said with a smile: "After being worthy of being a famous family, they are all young heroes, both civil and military, rare." ”

"Mr. has won the prize." Xiang Bo said modestly: "They are all stubborn people, what kind of young hero is that?" It is impossible to talk about both civil and military affairs, either the literature is not enough, or the military is not enough. ”

"Zhuang'er, You'er, where did you get this silk?"

Han Liang was going to continue to be polite with Xiang Bo, but the two uncles next to him suddenly noticed the two fine silks brought by the children of the Xiang family, and they were also as worried as the pavilion chief Feng Zhong that they were not from the right path, so they hurriedly asked about the origin of the silk, of course the children of the Xiang family did not dare to put on a score in front of their uncles, and immediately honestly explained that the silk was given by the Yan Ji Pavilion Yu family. As a result, the two uncles were even more confused when they heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Yan Jiting's Yu Gong sent it?" For no reason, what did he give you such an expensive silk for? ”

"This is thanks to Xiang Kang, it was he who went to visit the Yu family and said that our Xiang family was willing to be friends with their Yu family, and Yu Gong was happy to hear it, in addition to giving us two pieces of silk, he also invited us to eat two meals."

Xiang Bo's eldest son, Xiang Sui, proudly patted Xiang Kang on the shoulder and introduced, Xiang It couldn't wait, and quickly recounted the story of Xiang Kang's appearance and Yu bus. As a result, Uncle Xiang and his two uncles were stunned when they heard this, and they couldn't believe that Xiang Kang, who was usually very inconspicuous, could have this ability. Han Liang next to him also glanced at Xiang Kang in surprise, and said: "I didn't expect that this Xiang Gongzi was not very old, and he could have such a heroic style, and in just a few words, he not only erased the old affairs with the Yu family, but also directly befriended that Yu Gong as a junior." This kind of communication is rare in the world. ”

"Uncle Han has won the award, and the little nephew is ashamed." Xiang Kang was pretended to be modest.

"It's not about winning awards, it's about telling the truth." Han Liang smiled, and added casually, "That Duke Yu is also rare, just a commoner, not only has a lot of money, but also fights righteousness and squanders money, and has the style of Meng Weijun, Xiang Gongzi made friends with such a character for your Xiang family, and did not humiliate your Xiang family's court." ”

Hearing Han Liang's words, the corners of Xiang Kang's mouth couldn't help but show a little contemptuous smile, and he was very dissatisfied with Han Liang's words, but he didn't show it too much because of the scene. But what Xiang Kang didn't know was that Han Liang opposite him was also a person who was very good at observing words and feelings, not only saw Xiang Kang's looming contemptuous smile, but also directly guessed what Xiang Kang was thinking, and said secretly: "This nephew of Uncle Xiang doesn't think very highly of that Duke Yu?" Is it ungrateful? Still is......? ”
