Chapter 66: Elders

When Uncle Zhang heard this, he knew that the other party had seen through it. If you cover it up any longer, it will look like you are hiding your head and showing your tail. originally concealed Xu Wei's identity, but he was also afraid that these important ministers would look down on him and were unwilling to talk to him. Now it seems that these two adults have the meaning of approval, but they don't say it truthfully. Then he replied: "I can't hide it, this son is a native of Xiajin County, a daimyo, surnamed Xu Mingwei, and his family is nine." At present, he is the deputy envoy of the 'Zizhou regiment training' and the commander of the 'Yongying Battalion of Jingsui Township, the Daimyo Mansion'. ”

"Governor Zhang still doesn't know? He has been promoted to the position of 'deputy envoy of the supply and reserve treasury', and his official residence is seven grades. The official laughed, and didn't seem to mind Zhang Shuye's hiding of Xu Wei's identity.

When Taiwei He heard the word "Xu Wei", his face changed, and when he heard the "Commander of the Township Yong Battalion", he was even more surprised, and looked at Xu Wei and asked: "You are the leader of the Township Army under the Daimyo Mansion to suppress thieves?" A few days ago, I went to Shandong to help in the war, defeated Wang Shan's thief department in one fell swoop, and killed the bandit leader with your own hands, and you are also you? ”

Xu Wei was a little confused, how come I know all these two things? Although he said that he won the battle, it may be a matter to put it in the Daimyo's Mansion, but this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, what is it? He arched his hand at the two officials and replied, "It's Xu Wei." ”

Uncle Zhang was also surprised, isn't it, Xu Wei also has such a big reputation in the capital? If that's the case, then why do you bother to recommend it? I was quite relieved in my heart, and smiled at Xu Wei: "This is your great creation!" Come on, come on, introduce you, this is Xu Shaobao, a member of the Privy Council. ”

Xu Wei stepped forward and was about to salute, but Xu Shaobao blocked it, and said with a smile: "Xu Jiu, you have to salute, it can't be a salute from a subordinate official to a superior official, you have to give a salute to a nephew." ”

Uncle Zhang was shocked at night, how could this Xu Shaobao raise Xu Wei like this? The gift of a son and nephew, that is, he regards himself as Xu Wei's elder, not his superior, and this relationship is not ordinary. In the court, since the reform of the imperial examination, there has been no teacher and protΓ©gΓ©, and this son and nephew are the most intimate. Seeing that Xu Wei was still standing there puzzled, he hurriedly urged: "Xu Shaobao lifted you, why don't you thank you quickly?" ”

Taiwei He next to him saw some clues and asked Xu Shaobao: "If the lower official remembers correctly, Shaobao's hometown seems to be ......."

"Haha!" Xu Shaobao laughed heartily, "The two of you don't know, this Xu Wei's father, Xu Zhang, is the brother of my mother's compatriots. Xu Wei is my own nephew. ”

Xu Wei was speechless when he heard this, and after a long time, he wrote a letter to summon the third uncle who came to Tokyo. I said that it looks a little familiar, and the old man is a brother, and it is rare to look so similar. When the prefect He Taiwei heard this, he laughed out loud, hey, it turned out to be a family after talking for a long time! But at the same time, I feel a little strange, Xu Wei has been standing here for a long time, why didn't he even say hello to your uncle? This is not sensible, right?

Xu Wei didn't say a word, and stepped forward to give Xu Shao a salute. That Xu Shaobao saw that he was neither humble nor arrogant, neither flattering because he was in a high position, nor deliberately indifferent because of family grievances, and he was amazed in his heart. The last time I saw him, he was only a few years old, and it was called a bold and reckless act, which made Xujiazhuang a chicken and a dog jump. In front of the Xu Mansion, there are people queuing up to complain every day. I didn't expect that when I grew up, I would be so promising, it's rare.

After he finished saluting, Uncle Zhang introduced to He Taiwei again: "This is Taiwei He, the Marquis of Bu Shuai, the capital of Yu. ”

His voice fell, and Taiwei He also smiled and said: "Xu Wei, although I have never met your father, he also served as the Marquis of Bu Shuai Si Du Yu in the past, and he is my senior. It's up to you to do this ceremony? ”

When Xu Shaobao heard this, he only raised his nephew in front of his face, and hurriedly moved out of the posture of the elders and said: "Old Jiu, hurry up and give the gift of the nephew." You are the commander of the township, and there will be little place to rely on Captain He in the future. ”

Hey, why did you become my elder? I'll give you a salute, will you give a red envelope? However, let this sentence go, my uncle is better than the old man, no wonder he climbed so high that he actually got mixed up with Shaobao. After giving the salute to Taiwei He, Uncle Zhang came to the Central Plains one by one at night, which was a last resort, and asked the two officials not to blame.

"Xu Shaobao, your nephew is a young hero, so good, how about letting him be transferred to my Bu Shuai Division to experience and experience?" When Taiwei He said a word, Xu Shao felt very useful. It's a pity that the second brother with an elm head is not there, otherwise how should I feel when I see this scene? You have fought bloodily all your life, and when you are old, you will worship the Marquis of Duyu. Until Zhishi, Xu Wei was a white body, and later he made up for the official with his own ability. What role do you play in this son of yours? If you want to climb up, don't you have to rely on me as an uncle?

"Xu Wei, did you hear it, why don't you hurry up and thank the captain for his promotion?" Xu Shao has entered the role of "uncle", with the tone of an elder.

Unexpectedly, Xu Wei bowed to Taiwei He, and said: "Thank you Taiwei for your kindness, it's just that my father is old and sick, and my brother is in the army, if I leave again, there will be no one to take care of me at home." The grace of Taiwei's support, Xu Wei remembered it in his heart and did not dare to forget it. ”

In this world, I don't know how many people want to find an official position in the city of Tokyo. It's good that he is here, and people are interested in promoting, but he actually refused. Xu Wei is naturally not stupid, progress Shuaisi? Pull it down, with his current qualifications, no matter how much he is promoted, he is an errand role. Maybe after three or five years, the qualifications are enough, and then go up. If I had crossed over ten or eight years earlier, I would have hugged this thigh tightly.

The problem is, it is now the seventh year of the Great Song Dynasty Xuanhe, and the seventh year of the Golden Heavenly Society! The Jurchens waved their troops south and defeated the Northern Song Dynasty this year! I ran to your Bu Shuai Division as a dispensable petty official, and watched the Jin army come over and break through the city of Tokyo? When the time comes, I don't have a single soldier in my hands, and I will hit the Jurchen horse's ass with my head?

The most important thing now is not to think about promotion. Instead, they recruited troops and expanded their strength, in order to gain a firm foothold and develop in the chaos of the Song and Jin Wars. In troubled times, life is as cheap as grass, and if you have a knife, you are the king of grass! At that time, are you still afraid that there will be no official work? But the other party has good intentions, and if he refuses directly, he will not only refute the other party's face. It will also leave the other party with the impression of arrogance and no one in their eyes, which is absolutely unacceptable. Therefore, filial piety is the best shield.

Sure enough, when Taiwei He saw him refuse, instead of being angry, he praised it and praised: "Not bad! That's great! Xu Shaobao, your nephew is ...... day by day" nodded incessantly, the meaning was already obvious.

Xu Shao didn't think so in his heart, and He Taiwei raised it, obviously to save his face. Xu Wei refused because he was influenced by his father and was unwilling to borrow his own light. Alas, in the end, it's your Lao Tzu's seed, the same dead brain. After this village, there is no such shop. Let's go, it's your family's business, what do I do as an uncle? Besides, your stubborn old man didn't treat me as a brother for a long time, even if he helped you, he wouldn't remember me, why should I bother? You cross your single-plank bridge, and I'll take my Yangguan Road.

After talking for a while, Mrs. He couldn't stop praising Xu Wei. Xu Shao only thought that he was currying favor with himself, and he didn't take it to heart. After a while, he stood up and said to Uncle Zhang: "What we are discussing today, let's take a long-term view, and we must not be in a hurry." Let's get here first, the Privy Council has something to do, so I will take my leave. ”

Although Governor Zhang was anxious, he was helpless, and bowed down and said, "Send Shaobao." ”

"Uh, Xu Wei, I'm going to the Privy Mansion, if you have nothing to do, you can go to the Mansion to see your aunt and a few brothers and sisters, and I'll talk about it when I come back." Xu Shao dropped this sentence, said goodbye to the other two officials, and left on his own.

Uncle Zhang sent him away at night, and was waiting to see off Taiwei He, but when he looked back, he saw him say to Xu Wei cordially: "Since you have arrived in Tokyo, you must spend some days in the future, and you are not in a hurry to meet the elders at this time." How about it, go with me? "Look at this meaning, I want to ignite Xu Wei.

Uncle Zhang frowned slightly, this fart is too much, right? Xu Shaobao is gone, what are you still doing here with other people's nephews? Hey, Taiwei He himself has been friends for many years, it doesn't seem to be such a person, right? How long has it been since I was transferred to the Beijing Division, and I have learned the number of ways to slap the horse and hug the thigh?

Xu Wei also saw that this Taiwei He probably didn't really appreciate himself, but wanted to slap the third uncle's ass through himself. was about to excuse himself, but Taiwei He grabbed his hand and said half-jokingly and half-frankly: "If you don't go, I really won't want to go." ”

Uncle Zhang sighed secretly at night, who am I discussing big things with? Alas, when the national disaster is at hand, these people still put their minds on these vain things, the Great Song Dynasty, is it really not guaranteed? This depression makes me feel bad, and I can't wait for Captain He to leave quickly. Then he said to Xu Wei: "Go ahead, let's go, let Lord Taiwei enlighten you, and this career will go smoothly." Taiwei He didn't seem to hear Uncle Zhang's sarcasm, so he pulled Xu Wei and left. Leaving Uncle Zhang there alone, looking at the sky and sighing, worrying about the country and the people. Loyal ministers, it's really not good.

Out of the inn, Taiwei He ordered his entourage to fetch Xu Wei's horse, and the two of them saddled together. Along the way, Captain He asked about military affairs, Xu Wei had something in his heart, and he didn't say a word, and even the bustling street market in Tokyo City didn't bother to watch. Governor Zhang's Mansion gathered the old discussion, and did not come up with a reason, once this road is blocked, where should I start? That's a bit tricky......

Walking through the streets and alleys, about the time of tea, I came to a mansion. Xu Wei looked up, what is the house? Why did this Taiwei He bring himself to his house? Could it be that the sycophants are too hard to marry my daughter? Don't let me come to Tokyo, I won't do anything, but I'll get a daughter-in-law back.

The two got off the horse, and since the people from the He Mansion came to lead them, Taiwei He led the way in front and went straight into the mansion. The servant girl, when she saw the old man coming back, stopped and saluted. Taiwei He only nodded, led Xu Wei to the flower hall, and ordered someone to serve tea.

"Please use tea." A girl put down a teacup on the wooden table next to Xu Wei. Where have you heard this voice? Looking up, it's not such a coincidence, right?
