"The Tiger of Natsu? Oh, that's the youngest son. The man replied with some spirit.

The deputy head quickly put down the hand that pressed the knife, slowly arched it, and said with great admiration: "Oops! Old lady! It's really a tiger father without a dog! Hello to you, little one! "Facing the old predecessors of the forbidden army, the old chief, he lost half of his temper. What's more, the two sons of the people, hey, Sensei said, one word, cow!

As he was talking, Xu Sheng led a few healthy soldiers and came in a hurry, but before he reached the front of the prince, he had already knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "My son is not filial!" Let the old father be frightened, please punish the father! ”

Xu Taigong stepped forward to help him up, stroked the filth from his armor casually, and said with relief: "It is your duty to command and defend the city, how can you abolish your personal interests for public service?" It was a good fight, and it didn't disgrace me. ”

Xu Sheng was a little excited: "If it weren't for the timely reinforcements of the ninth brother, Xia Jin would probably be out of luck." Dad, the ninth brother has made a great contribution this time! Zhijin Prefecture Zhang Gong wants to see him by name! ”

Xu Taigong, the veteran of the battlefield, couldn't help but be slightly surprised when he heard this. After the emperor of this dynasty ascended the throne, he promoted the county to the government, and sent courtiers to serve as the chief executive, and was also in charge of the military. That Jinan prefect Zhang Shuye is the favored minister of the Son of Heaven, why do you want to see my ninth child by name? Also, how could he Jinan Mansion send troops to aid Xia Jin?

After the end of the war, the first task is naturally to count the results of the battle, count the casualties, and reward and punish the merits. In this operation, if you talk about the merits, I believe that it is expected by all, and there is no suspense. The two brothers of the Xu family, one of them defended the city effectively, and the other was timely with reinforcements, and they were all great heroes. Therefore, Zhang Shuye, the prefect of Jinan, and the magistrate of this county sent people to Xujiazhuang and invited the old lady Xu Zhang.

Due to the arrival of Shangguan, the Xiajin County Ya was used as the marshal's mansion. At this time, on the flower hall of the inner ya, there is only one official sitting on the main seat, about sixty years old, with gray hair, but majestic and majestic, looking forward to life. Although he led the army, he was wearing civilian official clothes, and he was standing in the hall at this time, thoughtful. Hearing footsteps outside, he turned and walked out.

Mrs. Xu, Xu Sheng's father and son entered the hall, and Xu Sheng's military position was in his body, so he met with a great gift. After Uncle Zhang smiled and accepted the salute, he stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "No need to be polite." ”

That Xu Zhangxu Taigong, because he is a five-grade official, only bowed his hand to give a salute, and said: "I have seen the prefect ......"

"Brother, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, don't come to harm, right?" Uncle Zhang stepped forward at night and grabbed Mrs. Xu's hands, like a friend who was old, and he was very enthusiastic. Back then, Taigong Xu commanded the army in the northwest, and Governor Zhang also served in the northwest, and the two knew each other, but how deep the friendship was, it was really not light. Now, Mrs. Xu has gone to work, but he is a feudal official who guards the side of the Son of Heaven, so polite, it makes Mrs. Xu a little uncomfortable.

After coughing dryly, Xu Taigong replied: "It's about to die." ”

Regardless of whether it is true or not, Governor Zhang is always enthusiastic, and when he heard this, he had to laugh dryly: "What did the old brother say?" The old man is in the bush, with a thousand miles of ambition, and the martyr is in his twilight years, and his heart is strong. Now, Ling Lang inherits his father's will and joins the army, sooner or later, he will become a great weapon. Come on, come on, sit down and talk. ”

The three of them sat down, and Uncle Zhang said some scenes at night, which was nothing more than recalling the "fighting friendship" in the northwest back then, and praised Xu Taigong for "tiger father without dog son" Yunyun.

Xu Taigong was an anxious person, his joy and anger were all in shape, and the impatient expression on his face gradually revealed. Xu Sheng was secretly worried that the old father's temper was strong, straightforward, and easy to offend people. This meeting with the prefect is of great significance, but don't go on a business trip.

"I don't know how many sons my brother has under his knees?" Governor Zhang suddenly changed his words and asked.

"One daughter and two sons." Mrs. Xu replied stiffly.

"Oh? Then this must be the eldest son who served as a commander in the army of the Daimyo's mansion, right? Uncle Zhang looked at Xu Sheng and asked.

"Yes." Mrs. Xu really cherished ink like gold, and Xu Sheng beside him tightened his skin, for fear that his father would make a mistake.

Uncle Zhang bowed his head slightly and praised: "Jiangmen Huzi, the future is immeasurable." I don't know where the tiger of Xia Jin was who rushed to the county seat last night? Since Yang Yan howled in the city, "The Tiger of Xujiazhuang, the Little Overlord of Xiajin", Xu Wei's glorious deeds have changed a little today.

And the image of the old nine of the Xu family has also changed from a "gentleman" and a "scoundrel" to a "rare ambition", "informal", and even "reading the Spring and Autumn Festival at night" and "both civil and military".

"What a tiger of Xiajin, just a loser." Mrs. Xu actually listened very well to his heart, but there was still no expression on his face, and his tone was stiff and tight. Governor Zhang was enthusiastic, and when he saw that the other party was not in the oil and salt, his face gradually changed.

"Hey, since ancient times, heroes have been teenagers, why be too modest?" Governor Zhang chuckled, and then continued, "Old brother, your eldest son has been favored as an official, and the younger son must have stayed by his side to serve and support the elderly, right?" ”

Xu Taigong didn't react yet, but Xu Sheng was overjoyed when he heard it, but one side was Shangguan and the other side was Lao Tzu, how could he intervene? But I was worried that my father had always been upright, and he had offended this Zhang Governor and made things worse. After thinking about it again, I wanted to speak.

"The mud can't support the wall, so I can only stay by my side, and after a hundred years, I will live with the meager property at home." Xu Taigong didn't seem to hear the meaning of Governor Zhang's words, and replied casually.

Governor Zhang obviously disagreed with this, and said with a smile: "The man is ambitious in all directions, how can he waste his years in the township? Haven't you thought of a way to find a future for him? When I said this, I felt a little troubled. But thinking about the eventful time of the country, when the court employs people, it can't be taken care of. This Xu Tianfu was famous for his stinky temper in the army in his early years, and he didn't need to be as knowledgeable as him.

Xu Sheng was afraid that his father would say something to disgrace people, so before he answered, he stubbornly interjected: "Please be more considerate, I will ...... for the ninth brother Xu Wei."

"My boy has a stubborn temperament and is not of great use. If you step into officialdom, sooner or later there will be trouble, so this idea will be dispelled. Besides, if you don't have the ability, even if you are sheltered by your ancestors and ask for an official position, you will be laughed at and can't hold your head up. It's better to stay in the township and live in peace. Mrs. Xu thought that Governor Zhang's words were sarcastic that he had no way to seek a future for his son, so he said such a high-sounding reason. But as soon as this speech came out. Not only Xu Sheng was so shocked that he was on pins and needles, but Uncle Zhang also changed color at night!

This Zhang Zhifu is the veteran minister of the Zhenzong Dynasty and the great-grandson of Zhang Qi, the Duke of Xu, who was shaded by the door, stepped into the official career, and joined the army as the first secretary of Lanzhou, step by step to today. Being an official by the shadow is naturally not as good as being born on the right path of the imperial examination, and the ups and downs of the sea for decades, because of the identity of the "shadow official", I don't know how many blank eyes I have seen and how much ridicule I have received. Mrs. Xu's words were stepping on his sore feet, how could he not be angry?

Fortunately, Governor Zhang's mansion had some stomach, and secondly, he knew Xu Zhang's temper early, so he endured it and didn't have a seizure. Gotcha, my hot face sticks to other people's cold butts, it's boring for me, other people's sons, what do I care about? After a few more polite words, he deduced that the military affairs were busy and issued an order to expel the guests.

Out of the flower hall, Xu Sheng complained bitterly! That Uncle Zhang is the favored minister of the Son of Heaven, and people look up to our Xu family, so they took the initiative to ask about the future of the ninth brother, but they didn't make it clear. If you can ask him for a favor, not to mention finding an official and a half-position for Lao Jiu, it is to send a good errand, and there will be hope in the future. Dad refused to put down the shelf, besides, people took the initiative to ask, and they didn't let you whisper to him, right? Even if you don't want to owe this debt to someone, you don't need to be offended and make people unable to come to the stage.

Although he is full of complaints, there are all parents in the world, and he naturally can't blame Lao Tzu as a son. I have to feel sorry for the ninth brother and miss such a good opportunity.

The father and son didn't say a word, they left the county office, and when they went down the steps, Mrs. Xu suddenly stopped and asked, "Do I have some ......?"

Xu Sheng sighed secretly in his heart, but did not answer, Xu Taigong hesitated for a moment, but still raised his feet and walked out. Although he himself realized that he might have offended someone just now and missed an opportunity for his son to come out, the temper he had cultivated for decades still made him unable to pull this face.

As soon as he turned out of the county office, he met Yang Yan and Zhang Qing accompanied Xu Wei in stride. After entering the city last night, the county lieutenant Liang Heng disappeared, and Xu Wei was temporarily ordered to command the Xujiazhuang township soldiers to maintain law and order, and he has been busy until now. I heard that Governor Zhang was receiving me, so I rushed here.

Xu Taigong looked at his son, full of armor, heroic and extraordinary, and thought of his achievements, if he had to pay more attention to himself, his future would have been decided. Thinking of this, I regretted it more and more, but his temperament would never confide in anyone, when Xu Wei stepped forward with a smile on his face, he didn't say a word, but he left.

Seeing his younger brother standing there inexplicably, Xu Sheng knew that his father had regretted it. stepped forward and patted his brother on the shoulder, and said with a forced smile: "It's okay, go and see the prefect, remember, it's good to deal with it, don't be abrupt." "Let's go, chase after Taigong.

Xu Wei is not so easy to be fooled, the old man looks like he is fine?

Above the county yahua hall, Uncle Zhang was sulking at night. I'm also a "Zhijin Mansion with the Levy Pavilion Servant System", a serious four-grade official, you are a five-grade military attaché, I read the old feelings, I am polite, take the initiative to show goodwill, you give me a shelf of old qualifications. This stinky temper has hurt me enough, and I have to catch my son?

Originally, I was thinking, I worked together in the Northwest at the beginning, which is old, but now that your son has made meritorious contributions, I will send a favor to help you, big and small, to find an errand for your son, it can be regarded as having a serious background, and it will be good for Xu Tu to develop in the future. Hmph, since you don't appreciate it, I don't have to this bird's heart!

Before his anger subsided, he saw his attendant shrinking outside the door, unable to advance or retreat, so he shouted, "What is the one who hides his head and tail?" ”

The attendant trotted in and said cautiously: "Official, Xu Wei has arrived, do you see it?" I think he just heard the dispute between Xu Taigong and the prefect, so he was so entangled.
