Su Jianan smiled: "Fourth Highness, Canaan is polite." After speaking, Ying Ying gave a salute.

Cao Hong looked at Su Jianan in surprise, in Luoyang, someone knew him, Cao Hong was not surprised at all, in this small Mengjin, he was still recognized, Cao Hong was very surprised.

"How did you know who I am?" Cao Hong looked at Su Jianan and asked.

Su Jianan smiled and said, "Your Highness, do you still remember the day when General Han Shineng Han celebrated his birthday, and you went to the mansion to celebrate his birthday?" ”

Cao Hong was even more strange and said, "Of course. ”

"My father Su Yun was a subordinate of General Han Lao back then, and after he joined the Great Wei with General Han, because General Han's men and horses were scattered and incorporated into various counties, my father left the army and made a county order in Mengjin. My father was also present at the banquet that day, but His Highness didn't remember it. Suganan said.

Cao Hong thought about it, there were so many people celebrating his birthday that day, the wine table was placed in the courtyard, and he went to toast with his grandfather, who could remember that there was a small county order named Su Yun.

Cao Hong stood up and said to Su Jianan: "Sister Su, please invite Ling Zun out, and Hong should pay a visit to Uncle Su." ”

Su Jianan pursed his lips and smiled: "No need, my father was invited to drink by the sect master of the Xu family." ”

"The Xu family? Drink? Cao Hong frowned and asked.

Su Jianan said angrily: "Don't guess, the sect master of the Xu family invited my father to discuss matters this morning. I expected them to hear something from the court. Knowing that the imperial court was urging all localities to hand in the three long files recently, they were also anxious to come to the Xu family. ”

"Su County Order, although you have been in office for many years, we are less close, this is old and thoughtless." Xu Zhengtai, the owner of Xujiabao and the patriarch of the Xu family, was frequently toasting Su Yun.

Xu Zhengtai is about sixty years old, although there are wrinkles on his face, but his skin is white and red, and it is clear at a glance that he pays great attention to maintenance on weekdays.

I saw that Su Yun didn't answer, just drank wine one after another. Xu Zhengtai had no choice but to say again: "Brother Su, it's really a good amount of wine, come and come, full of it." ”

Seeing that the subordinate poured a full wine glass for Su Yun again, Xu Zhengtai deliberately sighed and said: "Actually, when I came to Brother Su today, Xu Mou had something to ask for. ”

Su Yun picked up the wine glass, took a sip of it, and said in his heart: "It's here." ”

Xu Zhengtai said: "I heard that the imperial court recently urged the payment of the three long files, but is there such a thing? ”

Su Yun looked at Xu Zhengtai and said indifferently: "This is indeed the case, I heard that other counties have almost handed it over, and my old Su is also going to hand in the list set in the spring in the past few days." Haha, Brother Xu knows, I'm not very good at Su Ri, I only like the things in this cup. If I delay until now, if I don't hand it in, I won't have to do this county order. ”

Xu Zhengtai was secretly anxious when he heard this, and said with a bitter face: "Brother Su, you are pure and elegant, and you don't care about vulgar politics; Do you know that in recent days, there have been many candidates who have asked themselves to be officials? ”

Su Yun pretended to have just heard about it, and said in surprise: "Who is so bold, the imperial court is about to collect it, these people temporarily change their hexagrams, and treat the court and the government as nothing." If you are bold, tomorrow I will send someone to arrest all these Diao people and torture them. I want to see if it's comfortable to do things or if it's comfortable to be beaten. ”

Xu Zhengtai knew that it was impossible for Su Yun not to know about this, and he must have wanted to knock on his own family when he said this at this time. After all, the county order has been too aggrieved over the years.

Xu Zhengtai slandered in his heart, so he could only follow Su Yun and said: "These cold people don't know the grace of the imperial court, and they don't miss the thoughtfulness of your Lord Su, they are all wolf-hearted people. Brother Su doesn't need to be angry with them. They don't want to do it, some people do it, although my Xu family is not a wealthy family, but I can still say something in this Mengjin County. Knowing that adults are difficult to do, you see, this is not for you to choose another group of people, and ask Brother Su to take a look. ”

Su Yun's eyes flashed, pretending to be nothing, and took the booklet in Xu Zhengtai's hand and looked at it. I saw that the names of the three chiefs listed in the booklet were seventy or eighty percent of the surnames Xu. couldn't help but be angry: "This Xu Zhengtai knows that he can't directly disobey the will of the imperial court, and he coerced and lured those three chiefs before, just to stuff his own people into this list, and when the time comes, he will change the soup and not the medicine." This Mengjin County is still his Xu family. It's really old. ”

Although angry, Su Yun smiled bitterly: "Brother Xu, this is not in accordance with the rules, the roster that has been set a long time ago is going to be changed now, and I can't explain it to me." ”

Xu Zhengtai saw that Su Yun did not refuse, so he smiled and said: "Oh, Xu Mou is acting on his behalf, but it makes the county order difficult, and I Xu Mou is only because I see that the imperial court is very anxious to pay it, and I am not thoughtful, and I still hope that Su brother Haihan." ”

Su Yun hurriedly stood up and said: "Brother Xu is serious, Su is a reckless man, this county order is already difficult to do, and there is a rural family like the Xu family who can help me, I can't thank it, how can I be angry." ”

"It's just ......" Su Yun continued: "It's just that most of the people in this booklet are people with the surname Xu, and ...... asked?" ”

Xu Zhengtai hurriedly smiled and said: "Don't worry, Brother Su, you also know that my Xu family has hundreds of people in this Mengjin clan, and there are countless side branches scattered in various townships. It is not surprising that there are more people with the surname Xu on the roster. ”

After Xu Zhengtai finished speaking, he saw that Su Yun just shook his head and didn't answer, so he laughed and said: "Don't mention these mundane things, Brother Su, I heard that not long after you took office, your wife was killed by a thief, and you haven't renewed it for so many years." My brother is in the prime of life, why don't I be a matchmaker, I have a little sister in my hall, she is twenty-eight years old, how about you and I get married? ”

Su Yun heard Xu Zhengtai mention his deceased wife, his teeth were clenched, and his heart was full of anger, but he endured it and said coldly: "I am too old to delay Xu's daughter." ”

Xu Zhengtai took a deep look at Su Yun, and saw that there was no anger on Su Yun's face, so he smiled and said, "Brother Su, people, there must always be someone to talk to." You can't refuse me, brother. ”

At this time, Xu Zhengtai waved his hand and shouted to the court: "Come on, present the gift list to Master Su." ”

Su Yun saw that the subordinates handed him a gift list, and when he opened it, there was no gold or silver, and there were four stores in Mengjin and Luoyang alone, thinking that this Xu family was really enough to pay for it.

After reading and closing the gift list, Su Yun squinted his eyes and said to Xu Zhengtai: "What does this mean?" ”

Xu Zhengtai laughed and said: "This is a wedding gift for Lord Su, and after the matter is completed, there will be a dowry." ”

"Father, isn't it a bit too much for you to give that cold guy?" After Su Yun left, a middle-aged man of about forty walked out from the back of the hall, this person was Xu Zhengtai's eldest son and Xu Zhian's eldest brother Xu Zhihai.

Xu Zhengtai has a total of eight sons, who are the last word in the name of "Haiqing Heyan, the country is rich and the people are safe". Xu Zhihai is the eldest, and he has helped Xu Zhengtai deal with some family affairs over the years.

"You know what!" Xu Zhengtai took a sip of tea and said, "Do you think that Su Yun is really a drunkard?" He plucked his hair and was better than a monkey, today I Xu family don't take something out, you look at it, some of him jumps up and down. ”

"Then you don't have to be so much, Mengjin's shop is just that, it's hard to find a piece of land in Beijing, it's good for you, as soon as you make a move, there are two shops." By the way, I have to catch up with my sister-in-law. Xu Zhihai said distressedly.

"I don't have some blood, what if Su Yun is still obsessed with that incident?" Xu Zhengtai saw that his son was stubborn and said angrily.

"Father, do you mean that you were looking for a red-haired ghost to kill Su Yun back then......" Xu Zhihai's eyes widened and he said loudly in surprise.

"Idiot, do you want to make the whole world know?" Xu Zhengtai glared at his eldest son and scolded.

Xu Zhengtai asked Xu Zhihai to close the door and said, "How many times have I told you, this kind of thing can't be done." Everyone understands people, and you know and I understand. Not to mention, there is still room for turnaround. When you say it, the white knife comes in, and the red knife comes out, you know? ”

Xu Zhihai replied, "Yes, father." I just don't think there's a need to bother with this, it's really not good, let's find them again and ...... him" Before he finished speaking, Xu Zhihai made a gesture of waving a knife.

Xu Zhengtai shook his head and said: "For the time being, it hasn't reached that point, for so many years, he has ignored political affairs and drunk all day long, obviously knowing that with him, a military man with no background, it is wishful thinking to want to take care of our Xu Jiabao in Mengjin, so he is so peaceful." is against our Xu family, just because of the events of the year. Now I will give your sister-in-law to him, and when the time comes, the hundred steels will turn into finger wrapping, and this Su Yun will not only not be an obstacle to our family, but may also become the guard dog of my Xu family. Hahaha......" After saying that, Xu Zhengtai laughed proudly.

"It's still my father's scheming, killing two birds with one stone." Xu Zhihai also laughed.

Xu Zhengtai smiled and asked Xu Zhihai: "What about Zhi'an?" Why haven't you come back yet? Yesterday he said he was going to Mengjin, and he hasn't come back today, and he doesn't know how to be motivated all day, and he fools around with those fox friends and dog friends every day, I heard that he hooked up with a woman named Fluttershy? is still the daughter-in-law of Qian Yanqing. What does he want to do? ”

"Father, Zhi'an has liked to mess around since he was a child, and you don't know it, we brothers have also persuaded him many times, but he never listened, relying on the favor of you and your mother, and doing nonsense everywhere. According to the subordinates, Qian Bin died, and he even went to Qian's house to make a fuss. In Mengjin County, everyone said that our Xu family was not. Xu Zhihai saw that his father asked about his younger brother Xu Zhian, and hurriedly took the opportunity to tell Xu Zhian.

Xu Zhengtai listened, patted the back of the chair and stood up, stared at Xu Zhihai fiercely and said: "Bastard thing, I have repeatedly told him to keep a low profile, his trouble, if someone hears it, then it's okay, you go find someone to find him back, I have to pick his skin today." ”

Xu Zhihai was happy in his heart, it turned out that Xu Zhian was the most loved by Xu Zhengtai, and his family let him, which made Xu Zhian develop that kind of character that was not afraid of heaven and earth, and the brothers were not less angry with him on weekdays.

"Yes, father." Xu Zhihai agreed casually, thought about it and said to Xu Zhengtai: "Father, son thinks, what if Su Yun doesn't eat this set?" ”

"What should I do?" Xu Zhengtai looked at his son faintly and asked.

Xu Zhihai was furious by him, bowed his head and said, "My son understands." ”
