256. Family affairs

Xu Xiaole secretly said in his heart: Which picture is Mu Du? I've never heard anyone say that. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info He said bluntly: "The lowly family lives in Mudu Town, which is at the foot of Lingyan Mountain. ”

Kochifu chuckled in his heart, pretending to be casual and said: "I heard that there is a famous doctor in Mudu, and his surname is Xu ......."

Xu Xiaole was happy, full of vanity, and said: "The humble great-ancestor was originally the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital, and served the Taizu Taizong, but he was only returned by the Emperor Taizong because of his old age. ”

The Kochi Mansion is not talking about Xu Xiaole's great-grandfather Xu Ziling, but Xu Xiaole's father Xu Rong. However, there is only one family in Mudu that has ever had an imperial doctor, and it is Xu Rong's grandfather.

In this way, Xu Xiaole is really the son of an old man.

Kochifu recalled the friendship with Xu Rong, and received Xu Rong's life-saving grace. At that time, he lived in Xu Rong's house, and the two of them were not separated from Meng Meng, and they traveled to Taihu Lake together, which is really embarrassing to think about now. Soon after Xu Xiaole was born, Kochifu also learned that he was happy with his daughter, so he set up a baby kiss with Xu Rong, and only when Xu Xiaole grew up, he married his daughter and turned this friendship into a relationship.

I really didn't expect that after coming to Suzhou again, my friend had already passed away, and the sons of the deceased had already become talents, and they had earned a crown belt.

Kochifu looked at Xu Xiaole and was very pleased, and said, "Not bad, it's really good." ”

Xu Xiaole didn't know these stories in the stomach of Kochifu, and said darkly: Is this praising my family for practicing medicine on behalf of me?

Kochifu nodded with a smile and said, "Ambassador Xu, your deeds, this mansion has also heard a little. Very good, very good. ”

Xu Xiaole was very surprised by the praise, and said secretly: Why is this old Huang Tangjing talking nonsense? Of course I'm very good.

Kochifu looked at Xu Xiaole, and the more he watched, the happier he was for his old friend. He had no contact with Xu Rong later, mainly because he was obsessed with the science field and didn't listen to things outside the window. After the middle lift, he went to Beijing to catch the exam, but his name fell to Sun Shan, and he was unwilling to study hard for three years behind closed doors before he was admitted to the Jinshi. By the time he finished electing an official and finished his first term conscientiously, he finally had some leisure, and when he came to find this old friend again, Xu Rong had already passed away.

Today's Kochi Mansion has completed two terms of office, and Suzhou Mansion has been selected as a large county in the sea, and the career is smooth. His only hobby is to enjoy the mountains and rivers, and he is at home in Suzhou. And he is a native of Songjiang Mansion, so he is simply an official at the door of his home. If that's not enough, then it's too greedy.

Kochi Mansion himself is relaxed and happy, and when he saw Xu Xiaole, he inevitably had the idea of promoting cultivation, and he was worthy of his old friend. But he thought about it, it was not a day or two since he arrived, and this Xu Xiaole had never been at the door. Either he is too high and doesn't want to climb this friendship; Or maybe he didn't know about his relationship with his father at all.

As soon as Kochifu thought of this, his heart suddenly thumped twice: So, he didn't know about the marriage contract, right?

The Kochifu Prefecture said tentatively: "Ambassador Xu, seeing that you are young, can your family marry you?" ”

Xu Xiaole Daqi: You don't want to recruit me as a son-in-law, do you? He said: "I was young and sluggish, and it was not easy for my sister-in-law to raise me, and I haven't had time to settle on a marriage." ”

After he finished speaking, he thought of Tang Xiaoxiao, and vaguely felt that if his sister-in-law wanted to talk about family affairs, he would also ask Uncle Tang San to talk about it. However, when he thought of the peach blossoms peeking at the wall with Xiaoxiao that day, he always felt a little regretful - the pair of steamed buns on Xiaoxiao's chest were small and hard, far less pleasing to the eye than Sister Hu's.

When Kochifu saw Xu Xiaole's wandering things, he secretly said in his heart: He probably remembered his deceased parents, and this child still has some filial piety...... Yes, he said this because he didn't know that he had already set a baby kiss, so it seems good, my Asian man can find another good family!

Although the Kochi Mansion was friendly with Xu Rong and remembered Xu Rong very much, the family affair set that day made him feel like a fish in his throat. Who is he? He's an official of the imperial court! If nothing else, even if you can't enter the cabinet in the future, you can be a feudal official and a big man. And the Xu family is just a cloth cloth, and the difference between this family is too big.

Thinking that his daughter could only marry a poor boy in white clothes, Kochifu was depressed. It's just that I met Xu Xiaole today and found that the Xu family didn't seem to know, how could this make him dislike?

In order to confirm this, the Kochi Mansion deliberately inquired about the recent situation of the Xu family over the years. Then he naturally knew that Xu Xiaole's brother was missing from the medicine - it was likely that he had fallen off the cliff and there were no bones. After that, sister-in-law Tong Wanqing married in to preside over the family affairs, in fact, she didn't even see Xu Xiaole's brother, let alone her in-laws.

Kozhifu recalled Xu Xiaole and his brother, when he was in the Xu family, he was a child, and he had just started studying, and now he has no impression at all. At his age, he would definitely not know about his parents' marriage to his younger brother.

The more Kochifu thought about it, the happier he became, and it suddenly occurred to him that there were witnesses that day, and it was the neighbor of Xu Rong's family. He asked, "Your family is in such a difficult situation, don't you have neighbors to help?" ”

Xu Xiaole said: "The third uncle and aunt Tang next door often help us. ”

Kochi remembered that the witness was surnamed Tang!

How is this good? It's hard to guarantee that the neighbor surnamed Tang won't talk much!

The Kochi Mansion was embarrassed again.

Xu Xiaole saw that he didn't speak, and finally couldn't endure the embarrassment of the cold scene, and reminded: "Old Huangtang, you have a lot of opportunities, I have delayed you here for too long......"

Only then did the Kochi Mansion react, he seemed to be a little out of shape, and nodded hurriedly, saying, "I see that you are also a young and handsome man, and you will definitely do something in the future!" You go ahead and get busy, and we'll talk about it later. As he spoke, he brought tea to the guests.

Xu Xiaole was pardoned and hurriedly retired.

When the Kochi Mansion saw Xu Xiaole go out, he felt like he was on pins and needles, and hurriedly got up and went to the back house to find his wife for an idea.

Ordinary officials do not bring wives with them when they are out of town, because they have to stay at home to take care of their parents. However, Kochifu's house is in Songjiang, which is too close, so his wife often comes to Suzhou to reunite with him. This time, I also brought my daughter Gao Yanan with me, and browsed the beautiful scenery of Gusu by the way.

The Kochi Mansion entered the inner house, and it happened that his wife was admiring the flowers in the courtyard. The husband and wife looked at each other, and they knew it and went to the inner room together.

After entering the inner room, the Kochi Mansion lowered his voice and said, "Do you guess who the ambassador of Huimin Pharmacy I saw today is?" ”

"Who?" Gao squeezed his hands, and was also infected by her husband's nervousness.

"Xu Rong's son!" Kochifu said in a suppressed voice.

Gao is a mother in the end, and immediately thought of his daughter's marriage. She whispered, "Did he mention the family matter?" ”

Kochifu shook his head slightly.
