Chapter XVII
Xu Caizheng was moved by Xu Shande's heart, indeed, no matter how high he is, he can be worry-free in his life, but his sons do not have the same knowledge as themselves, and now they have their own, no matter who comes to Gaoyang County to be the magistrate, they will sell themselves a face, but after a few decades, the situation is turbulent, and they have no current prestige, or there is any accident, in the Xu Mansion, there must always be a character who can stand up and shelter everyone from the wind and rain.
Thinking of this, Xu Caizheng glanced at Xu Shande in front of him, this kid doesn't have to worry about himself, with the cunning he is showing now, Xu Caizheng has no doubt that even if he is put in the officialdom now, Xu Shande will be able to mix well and be at ease. On the contrary, it was the two children born to him, and he thought it was good to look at it at the beginning, but why since Xu Shande came, he always felt more and more unbearable when he compared, Xu Shande has looked at the world and talked about the past and the present, but Xu Zheng and Xu Jing only know that they are curled up in Fuping Township, if there is no adventure, I am afraid that they can only be the master of nine products at most in their lives.
Xu Shande is happy, he has had the idea of going out to play like this countless times before, and at the same time he has found countless excuses, but first, he is too young, and secondly, there is nothing to do, so Xu Shande has grown so big, and he has not left the distance of a hundred meters from Xu's mansion, and now it is a gathering organized by the county order, at least it must be the top in Gaoyang County, with such a good opportunity, where can Xu Shande let it go.
Xu Shande is smart enough, and the reason he came up with really moved Xu Caizheng, Xu Caizheng looked at Xu Shande's eyebrows and dancing, where can I not see that Xu Shande is so keen to go to this memorial service purely for fun, to join in the fun, it looks naΓ―ve, but Xu Caizheng can understand Xu Shande's mood, a good man is ambitious in all directions, Fuping Township is such a palm-sized place, how can he trap a dragon like Xu Shande, thinking about the vast world recorded in the book, if it weren't for Xu Caizheng's age now, Maybe now Xu Caizheng has already dragged Xu Shande out to wander north and south of the river to see the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty.
Xu Caizheng didn't want Xu Shande to be so simple as he wished, thought about it, nodded slowly, and said, "Since that's the case, then ask Xu Zheng and Xu Jing to go." Xu Shande was anxious all of a sudden, and said, "I'm going too." Xu Caizheng said: "You are still young now, and you went to make people laugh." Xu Shande stopped talking for a while, just glared at Xu Caizheng fiercely, just when Xu Caizheng thought that Xu Shande was afraid and wanted to give in to himself, Xu Shande said: "Father, if I don't go, can you really rest assured that the eldest brother and the second brother will go without embarrassing you?" β
Well, just one sentence, Xu Shande put Xu Caizheng to death, no ability to fight back, Xu Caizheng opened his mouth, in the end he couldn't say anything confident, and finally completely admitted defeat, hummed a few times, picked up the brush on the table, immediately wrote a letter of worship, and gave it to Xu Shande after it was loaded: "This is a worship sticker, you go to the county government tomorrow, hand over this worship sticker, naturally someone will lead you in, remember, you must not mess around after you go." β
Xu Shande's chicken pecked rice and nodded in agreement, for fear that Xu Caizheng would regret it, Xu Caizheng hesitated again and said: "According to reason, you can't go empty-handed when you go to worship Master Fan, but in this hurry, I don't know what to ask you to take." β
Seeing Xu Caizheng hesitating, Xu Shande was happy in his heart, thinking that today is really a good day, double happiness, not only can he go to the county seat tomorrow, but also have a chance to make a fortune in front of him, Xu Shande immediately said to Xu Caizheng: "Father, since you don't know what to prepare, you don't need to prepare anymore, you give me the usual money, and buy some sacrifices on the way to the county tomorrow. β
Xu Caizheng listened and nodded, Xu Shande said well, if the Chinese people in the capital gather, the gifts they take need to be chic and elegant, but the local tycoons in this small county town get together, buy some fruit paper money, don't let people see that stinginess is true, so Xu Caizheng also nodded and agreed to Xu Shande's suggestion.
Speaking of which, Xu Caizheng's wish has been fulfilled, so there is nothing to be entangled in, plus Xu Caizheng was really hungry, so he immediately strode forward, led Xu Shande out, and as soon as he came out of the room, he saw not only Xu Zheng and Xu Jing, but even the two ladies and sisters all crawled away from under the windows of the study, and stood in line, as if they had come to greet Xu Caizheng.
Different moods, seeing the same scene in different moods, Xu Caizheng has no burden in his heart, seeing everyone's panicked appearance, he actually laughed, making everyone stunned, and then Xu Caizheng did not hide it, so he told today's things again, and also announced that tomorrow he would ask Xu Zheng Xu Jing and Xu Shande to go to the county government for him to attend the meeting, and after speaking, he went straight to dinner.
In fact, the content of Xu Caizheng's conversation with Xu Shande, everyone had already secretly listened to it, and they were prepared, but when Xu Caizheng announced it, everyone was in a different mood, and the two ladies were envious, jealous and hateful in their hearts.
Of course, this sense of disparity has been for a long time, and the two ladies have long been accustomed to it, and after being jealous for a while, the two shifted their attention to the focus, that is, their son will go to the county government tomorrow to gather with the magistrate of the county to participate in the grand event.
It is said that people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, and it is not easy to change their knowledge for a while, but the spirit of wearing is also good to give a good impression to Zhixian, so these two ladies can't take care of eating, so they hurry back to the house and find new clothes for their children, but these two brothers, Xu Zheng and Xu Jing, heard that they were going to the county seat tomorrow, and they couldn't help but be stunned all of a sudden, the two of you, you look at me, I look at you, I can't help muttering in my heart, how did Xu Shande come up with such a bad idea, I have a good time here, what are you doing in the county, I don't know anyone there, I don't know anyone, don't you have to be a man with your tail pressed, and you can't make a voice when you are bullied?
