"Why did Xiang Kang and Xiang it go in for so long and haven't moved? Didn't Xiang Kang say that as long as he could go in, the Yu family would definitely send someone to invite us in for a banquet, why didn't anyone come out for a long time? ”

"yes? Why hasn't it come out yet? Something can't be wrong, right? Why don't we go over and have a look? ”

In fact, Xiang Kang and Xiang It were not invited in by Yu Jian and his son for much time, and the children of the Xiang family who were hiding in the distance and watching were already unable to hold their breath, and stretched their necks longer than a swan one by one, and the probe was just looking at the gate of the Yu family, and their hearts were even more like a hundred claws scratching their hearts, and they just wanted to be able to rush directly into the Yu family with confidence, and see how Xiang Kang and the Yu family negotiated in person, not only worried about Xiang Kang and Xiang It of the same clan, but also somewhat worried about whether Xiang Kang could fulfill his promise and let himself go to Yu's house to eat and drink.

Fortunately, just when the children of the Xiang family whispered to discuss whether they should go to the door of the Yu family to listen to the movement under the banner of looking for relatives and brothers, there was suddenly some movement on the side of the gate of the Yu family, and Xiang It, the youngest of the Xiang family's children, strode out of the gate of the Yu family with his head held high, followed by two subordinates of the Yu family wearing servant uniforms, and several children of the Xiang family were overjoyed to see it, and they couldn't wait to walk out of the back of the hiding room to greet their nephew Xiang It.

"Don't go out, let Xiang it come to us, otherwise the people of the Yu family will know that we have been waiting here."

Fortunately, Xiang You and Xiang Sui, who love face, came back to their senses in time, stopped those brothers of the same clan who were almost exposed, and also had an idea, and quickly drew a simple chessboard on the ground of the hideout, each took a few chess pieces and opened Liubo (Qin Dynasty board game), pretending to play chess to relieve boredom, and the other Xiang brothers woke up, and quickly surrounded Xiang You and Xiang Sui who were playing chess, and pretended to watch them play chess to relieve boredom.

Although it is a bit strange for more than a dozen people to watch two people play chess, at least it explains the reason why the Xiang brothers appear here, Xiang It is also very eye-catching, and when he turns the corner of the room and sees the situation, he understands the meaning, while secretly admiring the concentration of the little uncles, he stepped forward and saluted and said: "Uncle Ji, Uncle Xiang Kangji is a guest at Duke Yu's house, Duke Yu is going to hold a banquet to entertain him, and he asked his little nephew to come and invite you to go with him." ”

"Guest? What kind of guest? Xiang Zhuang rolled his eyes and said, "We are playing Liubo, don't go!" ”

"I'm not free, I'm not going!" Xiang Guan also said: "Go and tell Xiang Kang to come back soon when he has had enough, we should go back to Shiling." ”

"If you really don't go, I'll go first." Xiang Qi didn't dare to say what he said in his heart, and continued to say honestly: "Uncle Ji, Uncle Xiang Kangji has already agreed to be a guest at Duke Yu's house, and he also promised to invite you to go to Duke Yu's place as a guest, if you don't go, Uncle Xiang Kangji will ...... there, I'm afraid you will lose your trust in Duke Yu." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, please give my master a little face." The two subordinates of the Yu family brought by Xiang Qi were also very good at speaking, nodded and said: "My master has already instructed the cook to kill pigs and sheep, and prepare good wine, just waiting for your sons to come." My master also commanded that when you come to the door, you must report immediately, and he will come out to meet you in person. ”

"This Xiang Kang, even our Lord dares to do ....... Forget it, since this is a piece of hospitality from Duke Yu, brothers and sisters, why don't we go over? ”

"Let's go, Duke Yu is so sincere, if we don't go, it will be too embarrassing for him. Xiang It, as well as you, lead the way. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, please come here, hurry, go and report to the master, just say that the ladies he invited will be here soon."

In this way, in the case of reluctance, more than a dozen children of the Xiang family still gave Yan Jiting a little face to the famous rich Yu family, and were invited to visit the Yu family, and the current head of the Yu family, Yu Jian, also fulfilled his promise, and personally came to the door to welcome the children of the Xiang family, and respectfully invited more than a dozen children of the Xiang family into their own door to receive the courtesy of VIPs. Xiang Kang pretended to ask the brothers for guilt, and skillfully explained the specific content of his negotiations with the Yu family, and the children of the Xiang family were overjoyed when they heard it, and they all agreed to go back and forth with the Yu family from time to time in the future, and use the family power of the Xiang family to protect the Yu family.

…………

By the way, let's take a look at the situation in the Yu family's inner house, although Yu Jian is the child of the Xiang family who was received in the front yard hall, and only the kitchen and the family servants in the front yard are used, but the movement of killing pigs and sheep is not small after all, and it has always alarmed some of the family members of the Yu family's inner house, and even Yu Miaoge, the two baby daughters of Yu Jian, also put down the needle and thread because they heard the voices of the people in the side courtyard and the pigs and sheep.

"Sister, did you hear that? Why does the courtyard seem to be killing pigs? There are more than 20 days left before the Chinese New Year, why did our family kill pigs? ”

The second daughter of Yu Jian, who raised the question, was the second daughter of Yu Jian, who had a lively and active personality, and Yu Miaoge, the eldest daughter of Yu Jian who had a gentle personality, listened carefully for a while before saying: "It seems that he is killing pigs, but this must be his father's arrangement, and we don't need to care." ”

"Why don't you care? Don't be from the county again, eat and drink for nothing in our house like last time, right? No, I'll have to go ahead and see what's going on. Yu Ji refused to rest assured, and happened to be tired of needlework day after day, so she simply threw down the needlework and ran out of the room, and ran to the front yard to check the situation.

It was also a coincidence that when Yu Ji rushed to the front yard quickly, he happened to meet his eldest brother Yu Zhi in front of the courtyard gate, Yu Ji hurriedly asked his brother about the news, Yu Zhi truthfully said that it was the children of the Xiang family who visited, and his father ordered to kill pigs and sheep for hospitality. As a result, Yu Ji was not happy when she heard it, and said angrily: "Father is dizzy? Killing pigs and sheep to entertain the people of the Xiang family? Who on Yan Jiting's side doesn't know that the people from their Xiangxiang family are a bunch of broken children, who travel around all day long to eat and be lazy, such people come to our house and need such hospitality? Besides, my father forgot how the Xiang family treated our eldest father in the first place? ”

"You can ask your father about these things later." Yu Zhi said helplessly: "Just now I also wanted to quietly remind my father that it was not worth it, but my father glared at me and didn't let me speak." ”

Yu Ji was even more unhappy when she heard this, and rushed directly to the hall with her legs, Yu Zhi's hand was a little slower and couldn't hold her, and she was afraid that something would happen to her, so she could only hurry up and follow, and the brother and sister rushed into the hall that was already full of the children of the Xiang family......

…………

“…… Yu Gong is too polite, the younger generations are learning literature and martial arts, but they don't dare to forget the family rules and ancestral training, and they don't dare to shame their ancestors. On the contrary, it is Yu Gongyou, who does not rely on the grace of your ancestors, and governs the family and finances the court, which is worthy of admiration. The younger generation dares to assert that if it weren't for the inopportune time and lack of opportunities, with Yu Gong's talent and knowledge, he might not be able to catch up with the Spring and Autumn sage Tao Zhu Gong Fan Li, and even surpass it. ”

"Xiang Gongzi has said, it is too much, how dare Yu Jian be a commoner, how dare he compare with Tao Zhugong? Childe Jin Zhi Yuye, don't say such things again, and kill ....... ”

In the hall, Xiang Kang and Yu were still touting each other and singing the leading role, the children of the Xiang family couldn't interject at all, they could only drink wine and eat some side dishes and wait for the main meal, Xiang Kang found that his brother was bored, and was about to find a way to pull the topic to the point where his brother could also participate, but outside the hall, a girl with a green edge and a curvy skirt rushed in, and her voice was crisp but her tone was not good: "Father, you come out!" ”

"Yuma's daughter." Xiang Kang's first reaction was to guess the identity of the person, and then he casually turned his head to look at the girl's appearance, but after only one glance, Xiang Kang's eyes immediately lit up, it turned out that although the girl who came in hurriedly was only fifteen or sixteen years old, she had already been born with a graceful figure, her skin was far from being comparable to that of an ordinary country girl, and her lips and teeth were white, bright and moving, and her appearance was beautiful, not to mention that she had never seen it after the crossing, even in the twenty-first century before the crossing, Xiang Kang had never seen a few such beautiful girls.

Xiang Kang, who is accustomed to seeing all kinds of artificial beauties in modern life, is still bright, not to mention the other Xiang family children who are all in the stage of hormonal overload, after seeing the girl's appearance clearly, none of the Xiang family's children are not bright-eyed and hot, and some people can't help but whistle lowly. But Yu Jian, who was sitting in the middle of the main seat, was full of embarrassment, and could only quietly complain about his daughter's recklessness, while smiling and saying, "Daughter, what's so urgent?" Come, hurry up and give a salute to all of you. ”

After that, Yu Jian hurriedly introduced Xiang Kang and the others: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the old man's daughter, the country girl doesn't understand the rules, so she makes you laugh." (At that time, the woman's name could not be easily told to outsiders, so Yu Gong did not introduce Yu Ji's name.) ）

"Gong Yu is polite, it turned out to be your Yushu." Xiang You rushed to talk, and couldn't wait to arch his hand to Yu Jiao, and said with a smile: "Little sister of the Yu family, next Xiang You." ”

Ignoring Xiang You, whose eyes were shining, Yu Ji just said to Yu Jian: "Father, come out for a while, I have something to say to you." ”

"It's ......." Yu Jian was even more embarrassed and said, "Daughter, if you have anything to say later, I want to entertain guests for my father." ”

"Guests? They count ....... ”

"Little sister of the Yu family! In front of the elders, don't be rude! ”

Finding that the situation was not right, Xiang Kang hurriedly spoke in time, interrupted Yu Ji's words full of anger, and put on an extremely majestic appearance, and said: "Little sister of the Yu family, as a guest, although I should not interfere in your family affairs, but after all, I am obsessed with how old you are, and today I reprimanded you a few words, as a woman, it is just rude to behave, and you dare to shout at your father, what kind of system is it?" ”

"You're ......!"

Yu Jiao turned her angry gaze to Xiang Kang, but Yu Jian quietly screamed a fluke, knowing that if Xiang Kang hadn't interrupted in time and let his daughter say something disrespectful to the children of the Xiang family, with the stinky temper of the children of the Xiang family, today's matter would definitely not end! So Yu Jian didn't hesitate, he immediately got up and pulled his daughter up and left, while confessing to the children of the Xiang family, he scolded his daughter: "Xiang Gongzi has taught the right lesson, my father usually spoils you too much, give it to me, my father wants to teach you today, what is a lady's appearance!" ”

Yu Ji was forced out by Yu Jian, and the children of the Xiang family, who were not injured in the face, whispered, and whispered about the little sister of the Yu family who made them feel amazing but hot-tempered, and Xiang Kang quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and also understood that if he hadn't reacted in time, his brothers of the same clan would have been furious. However, after rejoicing, Xiang Kang suddenly remembered one thing again, and suddenly exclaimed in his heart......

"The girl of the Yu family? The daughter of the Yu family? Yu Ji? Xiang Yu? Could it be that she is Yu Ji in Farewell My Concubine? ”

…………

When Xiang Kang was shocked and puzzled by Yu Ji's possible identity, in the remote place outside the door, Yu Jian whispered to his daughter to a good enough, and Yu Ji, who was not used to seeing the Xiang family's children eating and drinking, refuted aggrievedly and asked Xiang Jian to explain the reason for the hospitality. Yu Jian saw that there were no outsiders present on the left and right, so he also told the truth to his daughter and the son who was guarding the marquis, and said in a low voice: "Who is the family of the surname, the father knows better than any of you. The reason why my father treats them like this is not because I really value them, but because they are useful to our Yu family! ”

"What's the use of those broken children to our Yu family?" Yu Ji asked disdainfully.

"It's so useful, although these shabby children are poor and scoundrels, but they are all strong and strong, they can dance and play with swords, and they dare to fight and fight to the death to save face and suffer crimes, they are the most typical so-called ranger outlaws!"

Yu Jian finally told the truth, and said in a low voice: "At this time, just sell a little favor to them, in the future, when our Yu family needs something, these outlaws will give their lives to the Yu family at any time, in order to repay the favor and for their stinky face, they will not even blink their eyelids when they kill people and set fire!" There is such a person to call our Yu family, and others dare not peep at our Yu family's family property casually, as well as you, this girl and your sister, understand? ! ”

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Ranger was in full swing, and the so-called Ranger warriors valued righteousness and sacrificed their lives, not to mention killing a few ordinary people for the sake of a meal, even the princely emperor and the army commander dared to kill - for example, Jing Ke, Yaoli and Zhu Hai. Yu Zhi and Yu Ji brothers and sisters have also heard a lot of similar stories, and they suddenly realized when they heard Yu Jian say this, and then Yu Zhi quickly changed his words and praised his father's foresight, Yu Ji hummed and complained about why his father didn't explain it earlier, Yu Jian was too lazy to continue to entangle with his children, waved his hand and whispered: "Okay, if you understand, go back quickly, don't be stingy with one or two pigs and sheep, when it's really needed, these broken children can help our Yu family save more than ten pigs and sheep!" ”

After that, Yu Jian strode back to the living room to continue to entertain the children of the Xiang family, who he actually looked down on at all, but the brothers and sisters of the Yu family did not disperse immediately, Yu Zhi also whispered to Yu Ji and laughed: "Little sister, fortunately, our father is an understanding person." Did you know that I was worried about you just now? ”

"What are you worried about for me?" Yu Ji asked curiously.

"Do you remember what I told you about the story of Lu Gong in Pei County?" Yu Zhi asked with a smile and said: "That old foolish Lu Gong in Pei County, Surabaya County, knew a pavilion chief named Liu Ji when he was drinking, and he was happy to drink and felt that the pavilion chief named Liu Ji was pleasing to the eye, so he married his daughter on the spot to the pavilion chief who only knew how to drink and play scoundrels all day long. ”

"Just now, my father and the ...... of the vertical son named Xiang Kang are the ones who dare to reprimand you, and my father and him can also talk about it, I have been worried, worried that if my father is also like Lu Gong, he will make an old fool and promise you to Xiang Kang, who only knows how to travel all day long, then you will ......."

"Don't say it! Shut up and don't say anything! ”

Waving his little fist and hitting his brother, Yu Ji's pretty little face turned red, and she couldn't help but think of Xiang Kang who dared to reprimand herself in public just now, and secretly hated in her heart, "A stinky scoundrel dares to discipline me in front of so many people!" You give me to remember! As long as I have the chance, I will definitely take revenge! ”
