There was silence in the huge box.

Xu Xun had already roughly guessed that most of the old man in front of him was a first-class nobleman, but he was somewhat surprised that it was such a big man. He didn't know what the difference was between the celebrant eunuch in Nanjing and the celebrant eunuch in the capital, but as long as he saw that Wang Gongzi immediately retreated as if he had seen a ghost when he heard the word Fu Gong, he understood the weight of this. At this moment, whether he was willing or unwilling in his heart, he still immediately left his seat and got up, and when he was about to salute again, he was held up.

It was naturally not Fu Rong himself who helped him, but the middle-aged man who had been by his side. After the middle-aged man helped Xu Xun up, he glanced at Fu Rong, pressed him on the chair with a smile, made a cup of tea and sent it, and then said with a smile: "I was talking in front of my father-in-law just now, and now I have stage fright?" You young man, I heard that in the past, I followed a group of prodigal people to do nonsense, and you were not afraid to roll up your sleeves and fight people until your head was bleeding, but you can't see that people are sincere. ”

Listening to the other party point out his past, Xu Xun knew that his experiences were only afraid that the other party would understand them in detail, so he agreed at the moment, thanked him and picked up the tea cup, taking advantage of the tea taste, he had to look at Fu Rong under the cover of the tea bowl lid. Seeing that this big man who said everything in Nanjing City was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai posture, he tried his best to recall the person who rescued him, but no matter how he recalled, he couldn't remember the appearance and shape of the other party. After all, that moment was the most confusing moment in his memory, where how many impressions were there?

"Impulsive, honest and honest, after all, he is still a young man."

Fu Rong saw that Xu Xun blindly drank tea and didn't even dare to raise his head, so he immediately smiled: "You are a lonely child, and you can finally maintain a pure heart, which is not easy." Yesterday, someone happened to go to your sixth uncle's high promotion banquet and recognized you again, plus when I saw your handwriting, I suddenly made people give you a famous thorn in our family. Speaking of those two sentences, it is really wonderful, although there are many bosses on the ground in Nanjing, but it seems that there is no such pride. ”

When he sent out that letter, Xu Xun wanted to make the people in the clan think that he still had a backer to rely on, and he didn't expect to meet a high-ranking boss like Fu Rong. Therefore, just when the other party pointed out his past, he quickly and carefully considered it, so at this moment, in the face of such a sudden problem, he was finally able to calm down in his heart, but there was an embarrassed expression on his face.

"Grandpa Fu, that uncle...... In fact, my father has been away for many years and has not heard from him, and he has no old friends at all. ”

Thinking of the famous Dongchang and Jinyiwei in recent years, Xu Xun made a choice between the electric light and flint of Fu Rong's identity at the beginning. Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Fu Rong was not surprised at all, but the middle-aged man laughed, and he knew that he was blocking the right thing. The people in the Xu family's room may not look up what pen and ink, but who are these two people in front of you?

Therefore, without waiting for others to ask any more questions, he said with a little gloom: "When the boy was working hard in the early years, he once met a gentleman, and he learned that word. The words on this banner were written by the boy himself, and they were indeed written by his left hand. As for the words, it was a coincidence in the boy's early years...... The kid has indeed gone astray for a long time, but he doesn't want to be bullied like this, and he doesn't want his father's lifelong belongings to fall into the hands of others. ”

Xu Xun vaguely had that memory of practicing calligraphy as a child, but he only remembered that the man died of poverty, and he spent a little money to bury him. Since the person opposite is such a big man, he must have checked it, and it is always safest to attribute the cause to the dead. As for the words and phrases, I don't think it is possible for others to find out who they met three or four years ago.

"I see." Fu Rong looked at Xu Xun with a smile, his eyes flashing with an unpredictable light, "Those two sentences are not people who have been through vicissitudes for a long time, and they really can't be written." But it's that word, I really can't tell that it was written by a young man like you. Our family is not wrong, you are true and sincere, not those who are full of lies. ”

Speaking of this, Fu Rong looked at the middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man hurriedly bowed and said: "My father-in-law has studied in the inner study hall since he was a child, and he has served Chenghua Ye and the current emperor for many years. After Xu Xun bought paper, pencil and new ink, he didn't go to another house, and the scroll was indeed from his hand. Speaking of which, when he was young, he was also good at calligraphy, but it is a pity that those people in the Xu family saw that he did not have the support of his parents, so he looked down on people, otherwise he would definitely have a great success if he studied hard. ”

Although the middle-aged man only said a few words, Xu Xun was keenly aware that the other party's investigation of him was indeed unusually careful. Seeing Fu Rongwei groaning, as if he was a little sorry, although he wondered in his heart, it was not easy to reveal it. It wasn't until the freshly cooked delicacies were delivered from outside again that Fu Rong raised his hand to signal to move the chopsticks, and he put his mind on these delicacies.

Just now, he only used snacks to pad his hunger, and then he was fighting to deal with Fu Rong's interrogation, and he was naturally hungry for a long time. Horizontal and vertical praised the sincerity, and he threw all the emotions such as uneasiness out of the clouds, and he should eat and drink unambiguously. It wasn't until his stomach was almost full that he raised his head, and he saw Fu Rongzheng looking at him with interest. Knowing that this high-powered Da Jue had barely touched his chopsticks just now, he should have looked at him for a long time, and he had to get up in full clothes.

"Grandpa Fu......"

"Okay, okay, don't say anything!" Fu Rong waved his hand casually, and then said with a pleasant face, "It's a good thing that you can eat at a young age." By the way, didn't you tell Mrs. Xiao before that you should go back as soon as possible? What's going on at home? ”

Those conspiracies and calculations in the clan only flashed in his mind, and Xu Xun pressed the words to the eunuch who had just met him, so he bent down respectfully and said: "Father-in-law Fu, it's okay at home, it's just that three o'clock is the time of the night fast, although it is a quarter of an hour's journey to go back from here, but if you can't catch up with the hour and violate the night curfew, it will be a great deal, so the kid said that he should go back as soon as possible." ”

"Well, then you can go back." Fu Rong bowed slightly, and immediately looked at the middle-aged man beside him, "Chen Lu, pick someone to give him a ride, this is already two o'clock in the morning, in case you don't catch up, you will have a saying if you meet someone from the Soldiers and Horses Division patrolling the night." ”

Since Fu Rong spoke, Xu Xun was not polite, but he couldn't thank him, and when he arrived at the door, he suddenly turned around again, with a hesitant expression on his face, and then walked back, and took out the big red name thorn in his arms and handed it over with both hands: "Father-in-law Fu, you can't keep such things, please take them back." ”

"Hey, the things we send out have never been in the habit of taking them back!" Fu Rong waved his hand casually, and then said meaningfully, "Besides, we have this thing in our family, but for you, it is very useful." ”

"Yes, thank you, father-in-law." Knowing that he was in the right place for Fu Rong, Xu Xun was greatly relieved in his heart, and was about to say goodbye again, when he suddenly remembered something and asked tentatively, "Father-in-law Fu, I don't know ...... that prince."

"Don't worry, I've already reported our family's name, I don't think he will go to you for trouble, and he's not that kind of person. It's a pity for Wei Guogong's brother-in-law, the eldest sister married early, and many people around her flattered her, and she took a good child badly. ”

Seeing that Xu Xun showed a relieved expression, he left after giving up his hand again, and when the middle-aged man closed the box door and turned around, Fu Rongcai smiled and said: "This kid, thanks to your careful investigation, he is indeed a sincere person." Can write a good hand, this is also a desirable, but it's a pity that you said that he was enlightened in the family for three years, and then the books were read intermittently, although there are still a lot of books left by his old son at home, but after all, it is a little worse. Moreover, he is really a few years older. ”

"That's what my father-in-law said." Chen Lu lowered his head respectfully, and then said with a smile, "But if you don't read, although it matters, it has not yet reached the point where it is essential, what matters is the character of the surname." After so many years of fooling around, the prodigal son suddenly turned back, and he was able to come up with the idea of falsely quoting Austrian aid when the clan was plotting to expel him from the clan, but in front of his father-in-law, he could recognize the situation and tell the truth. Such a person will lift one or two, so that he will not hurt himself. ”
