Chapter 20 A few families rejoice and a few families are sad
Now that we have gone to the founding of the country, the night curfew, which was not loosened at all, has gradually become a dead letter for powerful people. Therefore, when the sky was completely dark, after the feast of Kuiyuan Tower was over, one lightboat after another sailed out on the Qinhuai River. Those painting boats that are almost quietly moored on some piers in the white sky are particularly bright under the reflection of the lights, and the beauties under the lights naturally give people a kind of seductive charm.
It's just that most of those well-dressed officials don't even look at those lightboats, so they get on their respective sedan chairs, and most of the other guests disperse, only those young people who are younger than the younger generation will look at the dreamlike lightships with nostalgic eyes, but under the control of the elders, after all, no one dares to take a step beyond the thunder pool on this occasion, and can only go home with the elders step by step.
Xu Xun, who went out at night for the first time in this life, looked at the Qinhuai River that seemed to be dotted with gold and jade, and then thought about the drunken gold fans under the neon lights in later generations, but he didn't show much amazement, but pressed his chest with one hand, still thinking about the origin of the big red thorn. You must know that when he returned to the table, he never saw the little guy again, and no one mentioned the invitation to him, so the more he thought about it, the more strange he felt. When there was a sound of farewell next to him, he dropped this thought.
Although there was a little bit of a mistake at the Gao Sheng banquet this night, on the whole, everyone was happy, and Xu Zhen, the host, was of course complacent. Standing in the cold wind at this moment, half of the wine on his head suddenly dissipated, so when he looked at Xu Xun, he remembered the origin of the words coldly, and his face naturally became complicated. Therefore, Master Xu and the others took the juniors to say goodbye one after another, he just barely managed to deal with a few words, and when the people were a little less, he beckoned Xu Xun to come up.
"Xiao Qi, I have received so many congratulatory gifts today, but you are the most ingenious." Xu Yiyan couldn't help but praise him, and when he saw Xu Xun humble, he smiled and said, "When you are free, your uncle will also introduce me to you." ”
"Sixth Uncle, it's not that I pushed it, it's really that Uncle Shi's surname is a little weird, and he is not very happy to see people, if it weren't for the fact that I thought of the sixth uncle's joy, I wouldn't be able to find a suitable gift for a while, and I wouldn't dare to disturb him." Speaking of this, Xu Xun turned his words around, and took out the big red name thorn from his arms, but he pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Speaking of which, when I went downstairs before, someone gave me such a name thorn, but I didn't even have a signature, I think it was also for the two wonderful words of that uncle, how can I afford it?" ”
Xu Zhen took the big red name thorn and looked at it, and saw that there was only a word Rong in the lower corner on the front, and there were four words of sincere worship on the back, which was really unsigned. Suddenly thinking of this thorn-colored joint, although he couldn't remember who the owner of this thorn should be, his face still changed suddenly, and his gaze at Xu Xun was naturally more kind. smiled and handed it back to Xu Xun to collect it, and he smiled and said: "It is said that the prodigal son will not change his money, and you have this fate, which is also your blessing." ”
"Yes, thank you Uncle Sixth for reminding me." Xu Xun nodded, and then asked in an extremely natural tone, "I asked Brother Zhu to convey the matter of the sixth uncle before, I don't know what the sixth uncle thinks, can you help my nephew?" ”
Although Xu Xun lowered his head, his eyes always observed Xu Xun's expression. Seeing that the smile on the face of the current pillar of the Xu clan was frozen like ice and snow, he took out another letter from his arms and handed it over: "I know that the sixth uncle is in a difficult situation, but I have regretted it after the previous incident. This is a letter from my father to me in the past, and he only hates me for being young and frivolous and ignorant, otherwise I would not have almost lost my surname. ”
Although everyone said that Xu Bian should be dead, although Xu Bian knew that it was an old thing from many years ago when he took the letter, but when he took out the letter from the envelope and saw that it was still a little familiar with the handwriting and tone, his heart was still tight. However, most of the letters on the page were only instructed to Xu Xun, and only at the end it was mentioned that Xu Xun was benevolent, and he might as well entrust him with something. He breathed a sigh of relief but was a little apprehensive, and after folding the letterhead and returning it to Xu Xun, he thought thoughtfully, and finally nodded.
"Well, let me think about it."
****************************
When Xu Zhen and Xu Xun's uncle and nephew were talking in the wind, there was a loud slap in the carriage of Master Xu. Although the groom's heart jumped, he did not dare to be distracted, and only steered the carriage steadily, trying not to listen to the sound in the back compartment. However, the flow of the voice was not something he could control, and the next moment, the scolding of the head and face penetrated through the curtain and through the door, and into his ears word by word.
"Bastard, fool, you thing that doesn't do enough to do more than fail!"
After scolding such a series of words in a fit of anger, Master Xu took a breath, but seeing Xu Jin covering his face and looking unconvinced, he couldn't help but be angry again, and his outstretched finger almost pointed at Xu Jin's nose: "After spending so much money to buy a fake, you don't know if you buy it and let people check it?" I've lost all my face to you! ”
"Dad, the third brother is just being deceived by others." Xu Dong saw that Master Xu's voice was too loud, so he had to persuade from the side, but his eyes were full of reproach when he looked at Xu Jin, "Third brother, you have to have a limit to what you do." Sixty is not a small amount, and you should always discuss it with your family. A few days ago, you went to the account office and used more than 100 yuan, right? ”
Xu Jin didn't expect the eldest brother to suddenly turn over this stubble again, and he was immediately stunned. His expression was seen in the eyes of Master Xu, which naturally added a little anger. Master Xu almost completely forgot that this was on the moving carriage, and slammed the wall of the carriage and shouted: "Evil obstacles, tell me quickly, what's going on with the more than 100 passes?" ”
"Didn't I buy that good old man's house and want to get rid of him?" Xu Jin glanced at his brother angrily, and then he turned his head and said with an unwilling face, "If it weren't for the fact that the old man had nothing to do and went into the water to save people, how could there be so many troubles now!" ”
"How dare you say it!" Master Xu was so angry that he even trembled slightly when he pointed at Xu Jin's hand, "It's actually for such a trivial matter...... Spend so much money for such a trivial matter, you scumbag! ”
"Dad, the third brother is just ignorant, you are angry!"
Xu Dong naturally hurriedly persuaded Master Xu there, and when he saw Xu Jin sitting there with a stiff face, he couldn't help but sneer secretly. The men of the long house are the two brothers, but the mother prefers the young son, and she takes a fancy to the land and real estate of the second room and wants to inherit Xu Jin into the heir, but the property of the second room has not yet arrived, and now Xu Jin spends money lavishly, and the money is still the family property he deserves in the future! That's it, my mother still thinks that he has wronged his younger brother!
Under Xu Dong's repeated persuasion, Master Xu finally calmed down a little. But at this time, Xu Jin suddenly asked, "Dad, is that all for today's matter?" Can't we watch Xu Xun's kid ride on our heads, right? ”
Xu Jin didn't say that it was okay, but when he said this, Master Xu suddenly thought of his own ugliness tonight, Xu Xun was good, and he was furious in his heart, and he couldn't help but snort coldly after pressing it again and again.
"How dare you say it! If it weren't for the incident you made today, this thing would have been done lightly and skillfully! Speaking of this, he paused, and then said word by word, "How can it be so cheap for him to get by." It's nothing that he has someone to rely on, if I hadn't thought about this kid's deception, how could he show up tonight? For now, let's stop talking, contact Mr. Luo first! No matter how cunning the loser is, he can't fight the people behind Mr. Luo! ”
Xu Dong comprehended, and immediately asked in a low voice, "Will the sixth uncle obstruct it?" ”
"A mere seven-grade official, if he really wants to meet a big man, he should know the difficulty and retreat! Today, such a big scene is to give him face, and he won't be overwhelmed! ”
Seeing that the father and brother were only talking to themselves, but they completely left themselves aside, a trace of deep dissatisfaction flashed in Xu Jin's eyes, and one hand twisted the chair cushion into a mess.
ps: What do you want to say...... That's right, it's the annual selection. I haven't released a new book for almost a year, and I really don't have the face to ask for any votes, so everyone votes for free, and I'm really embarrassed to spend money. For example, when I refreshed it before, I inexplicably found out which one voted for 200 votes. That's two hundred yuan, and it's distressing......
