Chapter 117: Desperate Scheme!
Xu Xun lent the house to Xu Yu, and Huitong, who had been living here, naturally had to move away. Only now Xu Xun has a lot of money in hand, so he directly gave him two hundred taels, so Huitong rented a small courtyard at the corner of Mafu Street and Liren Street, and summoned those who were displaced to Nanjing, as well as several young students who were cultivated one after another.
These dozen or twenty people were summoned, and Huitong finally had a little bit of the scenery of following Wei Ying and Wu Shou in front of the general flag in the West Factory, and for a while, the small courtyard was full of people coming and going. On this day, he was sitting on a chair with a golden knife and training the two apprentices to the point of disgrace, and someone outside probed his brain and said, "Master, someone is looking for you outside." ”
Huitong has gradually grown his head these days, but his head, which has been slipping for more than 20 years, has only grown a layer like a fluffy hair, which looks extremely funny. At this moment, he didn't raise his eyelids, and asked impatiently: "Didn't you say it earlier, you can deal with it if it doesn't matter, and bring it in again!" ”
"Master, that person said that he was your old friend Xu Ba......"
"Why didn't you say it earlier!"
Huitong jumped up from the chair at once, took three steps and two steps to the door, pulled the curtain open, and shouted angrily: "What about people? Remember, if this person comes back in the future, he will lead him into the door immediately, and if it is a mistake, see how Lao Tzu teaches you! ”
Seeing that Huitong left these words and hurriedly walked out, the young man couldn't catch up, so he hurriedly raised his voice and shouted: "Master, no one came in, saying that they were waiting for you at Qingping Bridge." ”
Although he couldn't understand how Xu Liang could suddenly be so ghostly, Huitong still rushed over as he said. As soon as he arrived at Qingping Bridge, he saw that an old man and a young man were standing at the railing of the bridge, pointing and talking and laughing with their backs to him, he couldn't help but be angry, and shouted after stepping forward quickly: "Okay, I hurried over when I was so busy that my feet didn't touch the ground, you two are free!" ”
"Ghost of all, of course it's important to call you here!" Xu Liang and this monk were never polite, and without looking back, they elbowed to block the iron fan-like slap that hit behind him, and immediately looked at Xu Xun and said, "Xun'er, I have to quarrel with him before I can say two or three words, you tell him." ”
At first hearing this weird title, Huitong almost didn't glare out of his eyes, and he was even more surprised when he saw that Xu Xun was so willing. When Xu Xun lightly explained the truth of the matter, he was relieved, staring at Xu Liang with a strange expression for a while, and he suddenly smiled and said: "Xu Ba, such a son can actually give you a light and clever scoop, you are so blessed!" ”
"That is, my blessings have always been better than yours!" Xu Liang didn't seem to be able to hear the ridicule in these words, and raised his eyebrows and said, "Besides, what is our identity at the moment, what is the identity of others, it is self-defeating to carry it, and I have long since given up the idea of marrying a wife and having children." Without further ado, what exactly are you bylaws? ”
Although Huitong has had a few friendships in Beijing and Nanjing, he has never moved the idea of starting a family, so he is so alone and dangling, so Xu Liang said this, he only snorted, but he agreed very much in his heart. Seeing Xu Xun looking at him, his heart moved, and Suo stepped forward with a smile and said, "Xu Qishao, monk, I have sold my life to you, what to do next, you just have to speak!" ”
Xu Xun saw that Huitong and Xu Liang were bickering, but in front of him, he looked like he was playing a correct role, knowing that the beating after the defeat of the previous treasure map had worked, he smiled slightly, and then said concisely: "It's very simple, it's the same as Zhao Qin's case before, it's still one word, trouble!" You can let people knead us as dough, but you can't really recognize it as dough, after making a fuss about it, it's good to warm up, but the most important thing is that others can't easily take this matter as a handle in the future! ”
Moreover, this is the last chance, he really hopes that the father Xu Bian who has seen the head and the end of the dragon can appear!
"Is it just a nonsense?"
Huitong has always felt that when he dealt with Zhao Qin before, he didn't make any other contributions except for a fake treasure map, and when he heard this, his eyes rolled, and he immediately thought of a desperate plan to kill two birds with one stone, and immediately said with a big package: "Cheng, Xu Qishao, you just need to take care of Gonggong Fu's end, and the rest of the things are all wrapped up in me, and the custody will be kept to your satisfaction!" ”
For Xu Zhen, if he was left in the past, he could see a big man at the level of Fu Rong, it was something he couldn't ask for, and he couldn't wait to make people remember him deeply. However, at this time, he just thought that time was passing slowly, and he was sitting on pins and needles in the study. He wanted to speak several times, but he shrank back under Fu Rong's impatient gaze, and as for Chen Lu, who had always been gloomy, he didn't dare to provoke the other party to say anything.
I don't know how long I have been suffering in this stuffy room, but when he was cautiously planning to propose that it would be better for Xu Xun to meet a few Xu family elders, someone from outside finally reported that Xu Xun and Xu Liang had returned together. Seeing that Fu Rong's expression turned from cloudy to cloudy, and after the "father and son" entered the house, hearing the affectionate name that Xu Liang inadvertently revealed and the cloudy turn to sunny, Xu Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief, and took advantage of the situation to retire.
As soon as he got into the carriage out of the eunuch's mansion, he felt as if his clothes were soaked, and how uncomfortable it was to stick to his body, and he sighed lightly for a while.
"It's really scary to deal with such a big person!"
After sighing, thinking of the suddenness of this matter, remembering Fu Rong's instructions when he saw him several times, and thinking of Xiao Jing, the eunuch who was the master of ceremonies and eunuchs mentioned by Fu Rong, the doubts in his heart deepened for a while. Xu Xun's kid's ability is not small, and he has won the blue eyes of several nobles, but now these individuals have to insist that he is not the son of the second brother Xu Bian, could it be that the second brother Xu Bian has committed something outside these years? Or, what's strange about the identity of Xu Liang, who seems to be a bad old man...... Fortunately, he just said to the three rooms and the four rooms that things are getting big now, and the two of them have also said ruthless words at the beginning, and it is difficult to collect the water, so it is better to take the word adoptive father seriously. Looking at Xu Liang and Xu Xun's situation just now, he should have figured it out, and he did this well, and Fu Rong would definitely remember this credit.
"It's finally not in vain......
In and out of the yamen, the Xu family's room was greatly damaged. Mrs. Xu lost face, but she finally blocked the word divorce in the clan, so she became even more mean at home. As soon as she came back, she asked for the surname to sell the remaining servants of the death deed far away, leaving only a few to marry, and bought a few newcomers to come in.
And Xu Jin, who was originally short-tempered, was not to mention. If it weren't for Master Xu who used a lot of money, the eighty big boards would definitely be able to beat him to death. But even if he survived, the pain was not something that he could endure as a pampered son. When the doctor invited to scrape off the rotten flesh on the thigh, he fainted several times, and now he can't even turn over in bed on a hot day, and this breath is inevitably sprinkled on the people who serve, and only a few days later, he poured tea and scalded one and injured another, that is, the milk brother Da Zhou can still speak in front of him, and he can't help but persuade one or two.
In the evening of that day, he was full of resentment, and he was slamming his bed board and shouting to vent his anger, and a figure flashed in outside the door, it was his brother Da Zhou. drove the serving little girl away, and Da Zhou sat down on the pedal in front of the bed, and then lowered his voice and said, "Young master, do you know what good news Xiao Di heard?" ”
Xu Jin stood up in a hurry, and shouted, "Good news? What other good news can there be, could it be that my eldest brother suddenly came back from the Jinshi, can he avenge me? ”
"Third Young Master, you are angry, although this little news is not as good news as first-class good news, it is almost the same!" Da Zhou stood up and leaned close to Xu Jin's ear, and said softly, "I heard a rumor that Xu Xun, who caused the young master to suffer so much, is indeed not the second master Xu's own son, it is said that he is the son of the poor ghost Xu Liang!" That Xu Liang was poor and destitute, so he planned to use such means to make his son happy! ”
"Is that true?" Xu Jin's eyes lit up, but the next moment it dimmed, and he suddenly gave Da Zhou a slap, "What's the use of saying this now!" If there had been this news, I thought that I could have made that dog thing unpleasant, but now that he has hooked up with those nobles of Gonggong Fu, and this patriarch has been replaced by the old thing of the third uncle, what else can I do with him? ”
After receiving this heavy slap for no reason, Da Zhou suddenly covered his face and lowered his head, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes, but then he raised his head with a smile on his face: "That's not what I said, young master, think about it, how could Zhao Qin's case be so big?" It's not because of the troubles that the bitter masters don't want to die, and it's not because Miss Shen jumped into the Qinhuai River! Although we can't learn this, we can let people spread the news everywhere, as long as Xu Xun's reputation stinks on the street, won't the young master be able to take such a breath? ”
"Bad for his reputation? This is not enough, I want him to kneel in front of me, I want him not to die well! ”
Xu Jin tore open his throat and shouted loudly, but then he took a deep breath, nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you!" No matter how much it costs, I want him to be infamous in the city of Nanjing! ”
He fumbled under the pillow and found a purse and a piece of jade, and stuffed it into Da Zhou's hand, "Here is three hundred taels of money, it's not enough, just say." But if you dare to fool me......" He suddenly grabbed Da Zhou's wrist and said word by word, "You are a servant of my family, if something goes wrong, your family will not be happy at that time!" ”
"Although the third young master can rest assured, if he has this desperate plan, if Xu Xun knows, can the little one still be able to please him?"
Da Zhou agreed repeatedly, but when he got out of the house, his face immediately became gloomy, and he stood there for a long time covering his face that still had a slap print. Although he had known for a long time that Xu Jin was not a master of affection, this slap knocked him away with the last bit of loyalty. Now that the money is in hand, he just needs to do the corresponding things according to the man's instructions, make a big fuss, and then take the family and children away to fly high.
He didn't believe that there was only an empty shell left in the long house, which could withstand the revenge of that Xu Qishao afterwards, and he could still have spare time to track him down!
