308. Family affairs
When Xu Xiaole returned to Changchun Hall, his expression was relaxed, and in the face of everyone's concern, he said: "Jinyiwei has already helped find someone, and now they are all sent home." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Everyone knows that Xu Xiaole has an extraordinary relationship with Jinyiwei, and they are not suspicious, even the street patrol has received a reward, and such a major event is completely over.
After dark, Xu Xiaole went to Luo Quan's house as promised. He doesn't come to Luo's house much on weekdays, because Luo Yun's mother doesn't like him. But this time, Luo's mother's temperament changed greatly, and when she saw Xu Xiaole, she held her hand and kept talking, as if she loved Xiaole.
But what she said boiled down to one sentence: persuade Luo Yun not to do stupid things.
Luo's mother said: "That kind of woman is raised outside, even if it is really accepted as a concubine, which daughter of a good family will marry in the future?" The eldest woman hasn't passed the door yet, and the concubine has already moved in, which is not to give the eldest woman's family face! β
Xu Xiaole nodded again and again, and glanced at Luo Yun, whose face was like ashes.
Luo Yun just pretended not to hear, but from his delicate chewing, he could still see the entanglement in his heart: on the one hand, he was a good boy, a good baby of his mother, and disobedience had never happened to himβhe didn't have the intellectual disobedience. On the other hand, he really likes Peach Blossom and wants to give Peach Blossom a name, not a wild woman raised outside.
Xu Xiaole saw Luo Yun sandwich a piece of green vegetables and slowly put it in his mouth, chewing it slowly, and his tears were about to fall from his heart. The two have known each other for more than ten years, when has Luo Yun eaten so gently!
Xu Xiaole said: "Hehe, it still depends on fate, some people may not mind." "He talked to Luo Yun, and Luo Mu saw through him when he was a wolf who couldn't be raised! didn't give Xu Xiaole a good face, and pointed at Luo Yun and counted down.
The scene was very awkward for a while.
Xu Xiaole hurriedly finished eating and said to Luo Quan: "Uncle Luo, let's go?" β
Luo Quan had already finished eating, and sat sulking. He doesn't mind his son raising a woman outside, but it's better if no one knows about this kind of thing.
What made him even more angry was not that his son was disobedient, but that he, as a local snake in Suzhou, didn't find where the woman lived! Luo Yun simply took out one hundred and twenty points of strength to prevent him, a father, how could he not be annoyed!
Hearing Xu Xiaole say this, Luo Quan snorted coldly, stood up with his hands on the table, and said, "Let's go." β
Luo Yun looked at Xu Xiaole and wanted to follow, but he was grounded in the past few days, and his parents refused to let him out.
Xu Xiaole made a gesture that he couldn't help, turned around and followed Luo Quan. At this moment, he didn't dare to offend Luo Quan, otherwise he wouldn't be able to see Gao Ruonan's mansion, how would he hand over the burden of Gao Ruonan?
Luo Quan took Xu Xiaole to the special torture room for Jinyiwei. Because the prisoners in the hands of Jinyiwei were often officials, and some of them were not low-status, their prison was not a dungeon, but a single room with a length of five feet and a width of bricks and tiles in a high-walled and deep courtyard.
If it weren't for the fence, this single room would be the same as the examination house where officials participated in the imperial examinations.
Such a prison can be a little cold in the winter, but it doesn't have a lingering strong stench.
Luo Quan led Xu Xiaole to the prison outside the Kochi Mansion, took away the guarded brocade guards, and said to Xu Xiaole: "Don't delay too long. β
Xu Xiaole nodded again and again, and waited for the two brocade guards to walk away before he whispered to the Gao Zhifu: "Lao Huangtang, there is half a roast chicken here, pad your stomach first." As he spoke, he took out an oiled paper bag from his bosom, which contained roast chicken for the Kochi Mansion.
Kochifu burst into tears: "I didn't expect to be the first to come to see me, it was you." β
Xu Xiaole said: "I'm not an unreasonable person. Although you have been in office for a short time, you have done a lot of good things and helped me a lot. He knew that the Kochi government had the intention to protect him before, so that he would have a lot less resistance in the workplace.
Kochifu trembled and refused to eat the roast chicken, and asked, "How is the mountain wife?" β
Xu Xiaole said: "The family members are now arranged in the temple in the south of the city, guarded by brocade guards, isolated inside and out. I thought I'd come and see you first, so I didn't go there. β
Gao Zhifu knew that his wife was not here, so he let go of most of his heart, and asked again: "You, Ambassador Xu, do you know the whereabouts of the little girl?" β
Even if the Kochi Mansion doesn't ask, Xu Xiaole still wants to say it. He told Gao Ruonan about pretending to be his cousin after escaping and spending the night in Changchun Hall, and said: "Now that the daughter is in a safe place, when the rumor passes, I will send their mother and daughter together." β
Kochifu suppressed his vocal cords and grinned bitterly, his beard wet with tears and saliva. He said: "Xiaole, you are so old-fashioned and warm-hearted, it really reminds me of a person." β
"Oh?"
"It's your father." Gao Zhifu said: "I have a good relationship with your father, I thought that Suzhou could be reunited with old friends, but who knew that he had passed away." I just want to cultivate you well, and deliberately don't let you know the friendship between you and me, lest you accidentally leak the news, let outsiders know the details, and it is inconvenient to help you speak at a critical time. β
Xu Xiaole nodded slightly: "Old Huangtang, you have also helped me a lot." I do this with my hands, and I don't have to take it to heart. β
Gao Zhifu grabbed Xu Xiaole's hand through the fence: "Xiaole, there is one more thing I want you to know." He took a deep breath: "Not long after you were born, I made a baby kiss with your father. Ruonan is your dear fiancΓ©e! β
Xu Xiaole was taken aback: "She is my fiancΓ©e!" β
Kochifu nodded emphatically: "The documents that swore with your father before God that day are still in my study and have never been lost. There is also a couple surnamed Tang, who were originally your neighbors. If you look for their testimony, you should still be able to find them. β
Xu Xiaole was secretly surprised: Could it be Uncle Tang and the third aunt? Why didn't they tell me?
Gao Zhifu cried: "I originally thought that you were still young, and I would have to wait for you to go to the next level, and with the official rank, I would be able to mention the matter of marriage." Now it seems that I will not see that day anymore. You have to treat Ruonan well for the sake of the two world friends. β
Xu Xiaole's mind was blank, his heart was like numbness, and he said secretly: Why am I seeing him? Well, yes, it's because of Miss Gao. But as soon as he said this, wouldn't Miss Gao's business become my business? Oops, no, Gao Ruonan's occasional hug is still quite comfortable, but she seems to be very different from normal people when she talks and acts, how can she marry home!
Kochi said: "I am like a brother and sister to your father, and it is okay to say that she is your cousin." After I'm gone, you can pick a suitable time to get married. β
Xu Xiaole coughed dryly: "Old Huangtang, let's talk about this, let's talk about it." I can't stay here for long, what else do you have to tell the outside world? β
Of course, Kochifu has something to bring to his wife and daughter, and there are a lot of them. Rao is Xu Xiaole never forgets it, but he still remembers that he has a headache.
