Although he had followed Huitong to "step on the point" before, it was still a novel experience for Xu Xun to actually visit the mansion on Changfu Street. Compared with the Zhongshan Palace, which is still magnificent, although it has been ruined for a while, but since the Hongxi period sent eunuchs to garrison Nanjing in addition to the nobles, generation after generation of eunuchs often spent the last years here, although they did not smash all the property on this, but it was enough to renovate the Kaiping Mansion in the past over and over again, no matter the pavilions and pavilions were all craftsmen and craftsmen, and even a chair in the study was often extraordinary.

However, for Xu Xun, who came from later generations and even visited the Forbidden City, what touched him more deeply was not so much the gate of the mansion with a deep courtyard, but the large number of well-trained subordinates. The carriage entered from the West Corner Gate, and the horse that drove was immediately untied, replaced by the human power pushing and pulling in front of the two people, and when it came to the second gate, it was parked, and immediately a sedan chair was carried over to travel for Fu Rong. It wasn't until Fu Rong waved his hand that the two sturdy men retreated with the sedan chair, and the rest of the people also retreated far away, leaving only Chen Lu and Xu Xun to accompany Fu Rong to walk in.

"Did you see the two sedan chair bearers just now?" Fu Rong asked without looking back, and when he heard Xu Xun agree, he smiled slightly, "If it is an ordinary rich and noble family, this inner courtyard is naturally full of women, but in addition to those servant women and girls in our family, there are also these purified people." Some of them were brought with them when they came out of the capital, some of them were made and sent to the capital after a while, and occasionally one or two of them failed to enter the palace but had good luck and voted for our family's eyes. All in all, those who have taken this road must have a good chance to meet noble people, such as our family, such as you. ”

"Father-in-law, the kid can't afford it."

"Deserved, to your little one, you're not a nobleman?"

Fu Rong didn't say much next, just took the lead and walked slowly in front. And Chen Lu, who was following behind Xu Xun, squinted at the side, and saw that people were always cold and indifferent, so he dismissed the plan to talk to people and get acquainted, and the surname Suo walked around and looked around to admire the architectural pattern of the mansion, flowers and trees, until there was a commotion in front of him, he raised his head, but he just saw a figure smiling and rushing into Fu Rong's arms.

"Dad, you're back!"

This coquettish dad screamed crisply and very pleasantly. And although Fu Rong said that he was unprepared for this surprise attack, he was used to smiling and hugging the girl's arm as if he was natural, and only after they were separated did he reproach: "I said that there is a sitting and standing phase, don't run and jump when you walk, it's a bit like a lady!"

"What's good about everyone's girlfriends, just like it!"

The girl who spoke had a double snail bun, a butterfly hairpin made of pearls in her hair, and two trembling silver threads on the top of the butterfly's head, which made her eyes bright and pretty. As if in order to match this hairpin, the big red dress on her body is also a hundred butterfly wearing patterns, and at this time, with her movements, the butterfly ring around her waist is also jingling. She hugged Fu Rong's arm coquettishly, and casually looked back, and saw that there was a stranger who came in with Chen Lu, and was stunned for a moment.

"I haven't seen you Brother Chen yet!"

The girl let go of her hand, stepped forward according to her words, smiled and said a blessing to Chen Lu, and Chen Lu immediately returned the salute. However, the girl did not just return to Fu Rong's side, but looked Xu Xun up and down for a while, and then blinked her eyes and asked, "Who are you, why haven't I seen you?" ”

"Boy Xu Xun, I've seen Miss."

Seeing that Xu Xun only arched his hand, unlike the kowtow worm like ordinary people, the girl's eyes suddenly lit up, but she just nodded reservedly and quickly retreated to Fu Rong's side. As soon as she helped Fu Rong to walk inside, she leaned close to her ear and asked in a low voice, "Dad, who is this Xu Xun?" Is it going to be sent to the palace? ”

"Nonsense!" Fu Rong stopped his steps suddenly, stared at the girl in front of him and said angrily, "You are a girl, who told you about this mess?" ”

Seeing that the girl stuck out her tongue and drooped her head without making a sound, Fu Rong suddenly had a headache, and waved his hand after a while and said, "Okay, I don't need you to accompany me here, I want your eldest brother to talk, and I have to accompany the guests to say something important." By the way, when I saw your eldest brother instructing him, don't know that you are holding those sage books all day long. There is a trick to reading, and I didn't expect him to give me a top score! ”

Xu Xun saw that the girl agreed obediently one by one, and when he turned around to leave, he suddenly glanced back at himself, and his eyes were clearly a little difficult to understand, although he was a little funny, but it was not good to look at other people's adopted daughters in front of Fu Rong, so he just didn't see it. However, when it was time to follow Fu Rong on another road, Chen Lu on the side suddenly opened his mouth.

"Jin'er is the adopted daughter of Father-in-law Fu." Chen Lu didn't seem to notice Xu Xun's strange gaze when he suddenly looked sideways at him, and said to himself, "Coincidentally, when I came to visit Grandpa Fu, everyone at the door in front of me happened to be noisy because they found an abandoned baby, so I took the child in on a whim. Don't look at her father-in-law indulging her, she can't go out twice a year. ”

"There are so many ill-intentioned people outside, her eldest brother will fall into the water with a good end, let alone a girl's house?"

Fu Rong in front of him somehow heard this, and snorted coldly. Suddenly, he just stopped, then turned to look at Chen Lu and said, "You don't have to accompany our family here, go to the Nancheng Terracotta Division and bring Xu Liang to our family here." ”

"Of course, the Nancheng Terracotta Division does not dare to disobey the will of the father-in-law, but ......"

"Let's just say that he is the one who saved our son. We haven't investigated the matter before, if we still have to hold on to such a trivial matter, can they afford the result at that time? ”

"Yes."

After Chen Lu agreed, he hurriedly turned around and left, Fu Rongfang beckoned Xu Xun to step forward to help him, but did not continue the topic on the carriage just now, but said to himself: "Let's ask you again, did you really donate all your belongings to the Wei State Mansion before?" ”

"It's all donated."

Seeing that Xu Xun answered without thinking, Fu Rong couldn't help but smile dumbly: "You kid is willing!" If you exchange it for money, the real money will be enough for you to spend the rest of your life. Didn't you fool that Wu Shouzheng? Didn't you think about lowering the price of the field and giving it to him, and then running away with the money to buy a household registration and be happy? ”

"My father-in-law laughed, this field was left by my father, and now I can buy him a good name, which is exactly what my son should do. As for taking the money and flying away, you must know that Wu Yuanwai, who is as rich as that, is still regarded as a foreigner in Nanjing, not to mention that I am so young and have a lot of money, and when I go to other places, there may be someone who seeks money and kills. If for the sake of these things outside the body, you will have to live incognito and tremble for the rest of your life, it is better to be clean and refreshing than today! ”

Fu Rong did not doubt that Xu Xun would dare to deceive him. Such a trivial matter, as long as Chen Lu went out to Shuntian Mansion to check, everything would be clear and clear, and the Wei State Mansion would definitely give him an accurate number. Therefore, he was even more satisfied with such a decisive decision, and after walking a few steps, he asked: "Then if you think about it now, don't you feel distressed or regretful?" ”

"I feel sorry, but I don't regret it." Xu Xun still answered simply, and even added an extra sentence, "The poet fairy Li Taibai said it well, I was born to be useful, and I will come back when my daughter is gone!" ”

From the carriage all the way to here, it was only at this time that Fu Rong really made up his mind. He glanced sideways at the young young man beside him, and only after a while did he turn his head to stare at the Tantu Avenue in front of him, and said word by word: "Xu Xun, if our family says that you will go to the capital to seek a great fortune, do you dare to go?" ”
