Xu Wei was lying on the bed, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, as if he was in a bad mood, and even his digestion was poor, and the food he ate in his stomach was always blocked there, which made people panic. He got up in a single dress, thought the room was too stuffy, went out of the room, and walked all the way to the atrium. During the meal, the words of the third sister and the fourth sister-in-law gave him an idea, he didn't care if it worked or not, and now the important thing was to see the September face. Otherwise, nothing is empty talk.

In fact, think about it, he is lucky, although the He family is difficult, but his own family is unanimously in favor, and even the stubborn old man has no words. It is estimated that it was the identity of "after Zhongliang" in September that moved her. Now, I can only wait for tomorrow when my father goes to the Bujun Division to ask He Shaobao before making plans.

Walking back and forth in the courtyard, after a while, he sighed and was about to go back to the house. Suddenly I heard a sound, at first I thought I had heard it wrong, I listened to it for a long time, yes, I heard a woman's voice, as if crying? In the middle of the night, the sound of a woman's crying came out for no reason, which was a creepy thing. But Xu Wei was not afraid, and walked towards the gate with his feet raised. Unexpectedly, he woke up the old servant sleeping in the porter, lit the lamp and came out, and when he saw that it was Xu Jiu, he was surprised: "The little official hasn't rested yet?" ”

"No, do you hear anything outside?" Xu Wei asked.

The old servant listened to it for a long time, shook his head and said, "No, what movement can there be in the middle of the night?" Think the wild cat went to the room and alarmed the petty officials? ”

Hearing him say this, Xu Wei thought to himself, could it be that I was restless and had auditory hallucinations? But after listening carefully for a while, he said categorically: "No, there must be someone outside, open the door!" ”

Although the old servant did not hear any movement, the petty officials said so, and he hurriedly struck the lantern and went forward to take the deadbolt, and opened the heavy door open. But when I looked outside, there was no ghost, so where did there be any movement? Xu Wei drilled out and looked around, the black lights in the area of Xishuimen were blind, and he didn't even see a husband, how could there be a crying woman?

"Did I hear me wrong?" Xu Weihu guessed suspiciously.

"Little official, it's cold this night, let's go back and rest, don't freeze and break your body." The old servant kindly persuaded.

Xu Wei nodded silently, looked around again, and after making sure that there was really no one, he turned around and was about to walk inside. I don't know what the reason is, his heart suddenly jumped, he turned around suddenly, and shouted at the dark street: "September! ”

The old servant didn't know what happened today, and he stuck his head out from under the eaves to look for a circle in the sky, and said that it was September, and there was no half moon. Just as he was about to persuade Yanai to go back to rest, he suddenly heard a woman's sobbing, which made him "ah also" and fell to the ground. It's broken, it's ghost!

Xu Wei picked up the lantern from the ground, scurried down in a few big strides, searched the door of the house, and finally found a person curled up under the stone beast on the left in front of the mansion gate. Through the faint light, you can vaguely see that this woman, dressed plainly, is squatting under the stone beast seat, hugging her knees, bowing her head and sobbing. On her left wrist, an object was glowing.

Xu Wei was able to be calm and calm in the face of ten thousand troops, but at this time, his heart sank, and his heart ached. He threw the lantern away, walked forward quickly, pulled the woman up, and hugged her tightly in his arms. He clearly felt that the person in his arms was trembling violently.

"The eldest lady of the Zhu family said that there was a matchmaker from Mrs. Xu's family in Xishuimen, but my aunt replied to the matchmaker, saying that she had already set a marriage for me. I didn't know how to run out, and I had no place to go, so I wanted to come to Xishuimen. I don't expect to see you, just stand in the street and know that you are in the house. Hearing someone open the door, I was frightened and quickly hid, but I didn't expect you to call ......" September said with a cry, and Xu Wei's man who heard it turned into a puddle of water.

It's really hard for her, her parents died, and she pinned her on He Fu, once she ran out, it could be said that she was reckless and had no way out. But she ran out regardless of it, in this era, a woman can have such courage, even I am a man, and I really admire it.

Just thinking about it, September in his arms suddenly broke free, but he was reluctant to let go, took Xu Wei's arm and said, "You go in quickly, if someone sees it, it will not be good for you." If Mrs. Xu knew, it would be even more terrible. ”

In the night, although he couldn't see her face clearly, Xu Wei could feel the tears on her face, stretched out his hand, and gently brushed her face, and the tiger's roar-like voice tempered on the battlefield also became infinitely gentle: "But what should you do?" It's hard for you to go back. ”

"I'm not going back!" September shook his head resolutely, "If I go back, I'm afraid I'll never see ...... again"

"But where are you leaving, the huge Tokyo City, where is the place for you?" Xu Wei asked again.

"I don't know, anyway, I avoided tonight and didn't get taken back by my aunt. Tomorrow morning, I will go out of the city to Xiajin. "Mrs. He is Zhang Jiuyue's little aunt, and there is a second aunt who married into Xujiazhuang, Xiajin.

Xu Wei was secretly happy, and he thought of a place with him in September. Then he said: "This is a solution, it's just that there are still a few days to go to Xiajin, and you are a weak woman......"

"I'm not a weak woman." Zhang Jiujiu suddenly laughed.

Xu Wei didn't speak for a while, and when he was thinking about countermeasures, there was a sound of footsteps behind him. In the dark, I could only hear the voice of the fourth brother Xu Sheng shouting: "Ninth brother, ninth brother, what's the matter?" Before he could answer, he heard an "ouch" again, and then the fourth brother's scolding sounded, "Can you still fall in front of your own door?" "I think the fourth sister-in-law fell.

Xu Wei answered, Xu Sheng came looking for a voice, and without waiting for him to speak, Xu Wei took the initiative to introduce: "Fourth brother, this is September." ”

Xu Sheng couldn't see his face clearly, but in the dark, the woman bowed slightly. Xu Wang's family then came, but he didn't recognize his life, stepped forward and groped for his hand to grab Jiujiu's hand, felt a burst of coldness, and hurriedly held it in his palm, sighing, "Poor man."

Xu Yong pulled his brother aside and whispered, "What's going on?" The girl's family is still coming to the door? ”

Xu Wei briefly recounted the matter, and Xu Sheng listened and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Tomorrow I will send it back to her other aunt in Xujiazhuang. I'll send a matchmaker to Xujiazhuang to say goodbye! Xu Wei whispered.

Hiding from the world? Will this work? But this girl escaped from He Mansion without permission, and now He Mansion must be looking for people everywhere, so it is said that He Shao should be sent back to He. When Xu Wei heard this, he almost didn't jump off his pants, pulled the fourth brother's hand and said in a deep voice: "Brother, let me tell you this, if you go back to He Mansion in September, Mrs. He will have to pick her skin." Do you remember when I said she did all the rough work? ”

"Ah, what's wrong?" Xu Sheng asked.

"Both of her parents died, and her mother entrusted her to her sister, Mrs. Ho, before she died, and brought a large sum of money from her father's martyrdom. Mrs. He was greedy for money and forgot her righteousness, and in order to swallow this dowry, she entrusted her marriage to the present. Forget it, what makes me most angry is that she is a maid in Hefu, and she is simply treated as a slave! Xu Wei said angrily.

And such things? Not really, right? How can I say that I am also a dear niece, I don't believe that there is such a vicious woman in the world? But the ninth brother has never spoken, even if he has any ideas, he will not make up such a reason.

Xu Sheng didn't have an idea for a while, and after thinking about it, he said: "This matter must be decided without knowing your father." ”

"But the fourth brother ......," Xu Wei still wanted to argue.

Xu Sheng suddenly raised his voice: "Ninth brother! The fourth brother will never harm you! Tell me clearly that if you want to marry her as you go, you have to do it! The fourth brother knows that you have always done your own thing, but is marriage a child's play? ”

Xu Wei groaned for a while, and finally stopped insisting. Xu Sheng hurriedly pulled his younger brother inside, and said to the Hun family: "You take her into the house and wait." ”

Xu Wangshi answered, and said to September: "It's cold outside, go in and sit." ”

"Thank you, although both parents died in September, and they were sent under the fence, they were serious people after all. I should not have come here today, and I will never dare to take another half step. Zhang Jiujiu flatly refused.

Xu Wang was stunned, it seems that what the ninth brother said is true, she is indeed a good girl. The future brother-in-law, there is a good chance that she will be the best. Therefore, he was not reluctant, so he stood at the door of her house.

At that end, the brothers of the Xu family rushed into the house as if they were burning their eyebrows, and invited Xu Zhang, who had been resting, to get up, the situation was urgent, and there was no delay, Xu Wei poured out the matter in one go, please be the father's decision.

Xu Zhang's general demeanor was at this time, first of all, let the two sons not panic, let him think about it. This matter can be big or small, to put it mildly, it is all juniors who are ignorant and nonsense. To put it mildly, if the Xu family can't do a good job of deducting a hat, when the time comes, it will be difficult to handle the matter if a lawsuit starts.

After thinking about it, Xu Zhangzheng said: "Lao Jiu, you have to send people back." ”

"Dad, if I send September back, it will hurt her!" Xu Wei said loudly.

Xu Sheng saw that he was emotional, and soothed: "Ninth brother, we can find another way in the future, but tonight, you have to send people back." Otherwise, once things get out of trouble, it will not be a good thing for the He family and the Xu family. ”

Xu Wei's chest couldn't help but rise and fall, and he didn't say a word. He knew that this matter was really embarrassing for his father and brother, so he should take care of his own affairs! As soon as he thought of this, he bowed to his father and brother, and then pulled out and ran out.

"Ninth brother! Ninth brother! You're back! Hi! Xu Sheng shouted anxiously. I was trying to chase it out, but I was stopped by my father.

"Lao Jiu's temperament is like this, you can't stop him." Xu Zhang said, groaned slightly, took the robe and put it on his body.

"Father, what are you ......?" asked Xu Sheng puzzled.

"I'll go talk to your third uncle." Xu Zhang said that, and also walked out, and Xu Sheng hurriedly followed behind.

It's been nearly three watches, and two sedan chairs are moving quickly in the streets of Tokyo, but fortunately there is no curfew in Tokyo, although this pedestrian must be taken. However, if you know the identity of the people in the sedan chair, I am afraid that there will be a curfew, and no one will dare to take them. One is the privy envoy Xu Shao, the ruling officer, and the other is the captain Xu Zhang, the marshal in the army. What kind of late-night outing of two old brothers is? Or for the Xu family's demon king.

Xu Zhangda knocked on the door of his brother's house in the middle of the night, and Xu Shao was taken aback when he learned that the second brother was visiting late at night. After hearing his brother's intention, he was taken aback again. Lao Jiuping Suri's style of action is known as a young man, why is he so reckless this time? Hey, the little thing is still a lover.

It's just that when it's not a joke right now, Xu Shao only thought for a moment before saying to his brother. Now that the little one has run away with someone, the two of us old ones have to go to He Guan Mansion in person. Regardless of whether the reason is right or wrong, we must tell He Guan about this matter as soon as possible through our mouths, so that everyone will not hurt the harmony, so as not to make an uncontrollable situation.

Xu Zhang was so angry that he stomped his feet, how could he have such a misfortune, he thought he had become more sensible in the past two years, but he didn't expect such a thing to come out! At that moment, he sat in a sedan chair with the third brother and went straight to He Mansion outside Xuande Gate.

When they went to Hefu, they asked their subordinates to call the door, and the two brothers waited outside the door of Hefu. In addition to being angry, it is also funny to think about it, I am a scholar and a martial artist, two important ministers of the court, for the sake of the affairs of the juniors, I actually came to knock on the door of another important minister in the middle of the night. In the end, it is Xu Jiu, who has done all the big things vigorously, and even marrying a wife has made chickens and dogs jump.

"Second brother, I saw He Guan later, I can't say that the girl came to the door, only that Lao Jiu met him in the city. Then, the woman proposed to go back to Xiajin, and Lao Jiu went to see him off, trying to blame Lao Jiu as much as possible, so that there was room for turnaround. Taking advantage of the gap between waiting for the door, Xu Shao reminded his brother.

When Xu Zhang heard it, why? Obviously, it was the woman who came to the door and provoked my son to follow the devil, and I still blamed myself for the fault? Am I full? Xu Shao explained, first take care of He Guan's face, and then we can talk. Although He Guan is a military minister, he is a person who understands, and he will know how to advance and retreat.

When Xu Zhang heard him say this, he reluctantly agreed. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw He Guan coming out of the mansion in a hurry, and Lao Yuan arched his hands: "I don't know what happened when the two ministers came to visit late at night?" In fact, he asked knowingly, Xu Wei's father and uncle have arrived, what else can he do? It must be for Xu Jiu and September's marriage! It's just that that girl in September has such a big face? actually made the Xu family have the posture of not marrying and vowing not to give up! This cardinal minister, a captain, actually came to the door in person to ask for a kiss? Or in the middle of the night? Broken, broken, broken! Now let me find somewhere to go!

Xu Shao and Xu Zhangdu politely returned the salute, and the two brothers glanced at each other, and couldn't help but smile bitterly at the same time, not knowing where to start. When He Guan saw it, he hurriedly turned sideways and asked, "Two adults, please wait for tea inside." Then he led Erxu and went straight into the flower hall, and ordered the sleepy-eyed Yahuan to serve tea. The three dignitaries of the court were all holding teacups, and no one spoke first, and they didn't know what to say when they spoke, alas, this matter was ...... In the end, Xu Zhang put down the teacup and arched his hand: "Disturbing Shaobao late at night, I really shouldn't be, it's just a ......" looked embarrassed, and couldn't go on.

He Guan was also embarrassed: "Where is it, I am preparing to go to the government office tomorrow to compensate Tianfu Gong." ”

After Xu Zhang pondered for a while, he sighed and said straightly: "Xu will not beat around the bush, I will send a matchmaker to the house to propose marriage during the day." This marriage event is all on the orders of my parents, and since Shao Bao has already replied, I don't dare to force it. I thought this was the end of the matter, but I don't know...... Alas, my evil obstacle is unwilling, and I am restless, and I don't think about tea and dinner. Later, I ran into Ling's niece on the street, and I ordered him to immediately return her to Shaobao. Who knew that the rebellious son dared to disobey his father's order, saying that he would return to Xiajin in September, and he would personally escort him. Alas, it was originally a happy event, but when it came to such a situation, Xu was here to compensate for Shaobao. ”

As soon as Xu Shao and the other brothers finished speaking, they immediately said: "I, as an uncle, also have the fault of lax discipline, and I will make amends together." ”

He Guan listened, and thought in his heart, how can there be such a clever thing in the world, a huge Tokyo with a population of 100,000, and the two small ones have met? I'm afraid that I will go to find Xu Jiu in September, and now the Prime Minister Lieutenant is saying this, but he is just taking care of my face. However, Xu Zhang has a sentence that is very reasonable, he was originally happy, but he actually got to the current situation, who is responsible, I am afraid he knows better than anyone else. But fortunately, the girl in September finally has a whereabouts. Now that Xu Jiu is with him, he thinks it's fine, but now, he has to think about how to end it.

As soon as he thought of this, he smiled bitterly: "Don't tell you two, there are still more than a dozen servants in the house looking outside, lest my niece have three long and two short." Alas, I don't have an idea now, or else, please ask Xu Shumi to decide? ”

When Xu Shao heard it, what is this called? I'll put up a shelf and you'll go up? In order to take care of the reputation of your He family, my brother said that, are you welcome? Then he smiled and said: "This is a bit embarrassing, I want my niece to be promised, my nephew is too ignorant, and what he does is too ridiculous." I, as an uncle, am helpless except to come to the door to ask for sin. ”

He Guan was blocked back, and he was speechless for a while, he really fucking lifted a stone to shoot himself in the foot! Obviously, there is no marriage, but it is not said that someone is promised! It's good now, it's a dilemma! A woman's family, with long hair and short knowledge!

Laughing embarrassedly twice, He Guan said helplessly: "I can't hide it, my niece, in fact, didn't allow anyone." ”

Xu Shao's face suddenly changed, and he didn't have his previous polite appearance at all, and asked in a deep voice, "Why is that?" Could it be that Shaobao looks down on my Xu family? Think that marrying Xumen is insulting to the prestige of Hefu? ”

"The cardinal is angry, and he has no intention of doing so! It's true, it's really ......" He Guan complained bitterly, but family affairs are not enough for outsiders.

In fact, it is not that no one knows the unspeakable secret of He Guan Chinese Wu. At least Xu Shao was clear, seeing his appearance, he didn't say anything at the moment, and sighed: "I won't mention it in the past, the most important thing now is how to end." In front of the elders on both sides, I have a way, whether to listen or not, whether to succeed or not, is up to the two to decide. ”

He Guan was stunned, aren't you the parent representative of the Xu family? How did you turn into a peacemaker again? Although he thought so in his heart, he said: "Please be considerate of the privy councillor." ”

"Since the man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, the two younger ones are affectionate. Why don't you turn this evil event into a happy event, and let this family go? Xu Shao said, first looked at his brother, saw Xu Zhang nodded, and then looked at He Guan, but saw him silent. Then he added, "To tell the truth, if this matter is publicized by good deeds, I am afraid that the faces of the Xu family and the He family will not be disgraceful." ”

He said this quite lightly, if the matter is spread, Xu Wei is a man, and people will say that he is frivolous and prodigal at most. But what about Zhang Jiujiu? What about the Ho family?

He Guan thought for a long time, and suddenly slapped the coffee table: "Since the privy minister is the mediator himself, how can there be any reason to refuse from a humble position?" This matter is a foregone conclusion! I am determined to marry Xu Wei in September! No remorse! ”

How did I become a matchmaker? Is there an uncle who is a matchmaker for his nephew? Okay, you don't forget to put gold on your face at this time!
