It's been almost a month since I came to this strange era in the blink of an eye, but after all, there is a five-hundred-year estrangement, and Xu Xun is still not used to being completely different. It's like at dinnertime, Jin Liu's sister-in-law sent the food with a food box with a smile on her face, and it seemed that there was a table full of dazzling dishes, but when she looked at the dishes inside, he really didn't have much appetite.

White radish mixed with carrots, fried shredded potatoes with bean sprouts, tofu soup, the only meat dish is a plate of marinated pig's head meat, which is obviously bought from a wine shop and restaurant outside, and it is definitely not the craftsmanship of Jin Liu's sister-in-law. Because these days, there are only three kinds of meat dishes he has eaten - stewed meat, steamed fish, and stewed eggs, even if these three dishes are cooked deliciously, they can be eaten so much that they can fade out of the birds, not to mention that the level of cooking of Jin Liujia is miserable, which makes people lose their appetite when they see it, and he forces himself to move chopsticks.

"Young Master, are you done eating?"

Seeing Xu Xun put down his chopsticks and stood up after pulling the meal, Ruisheng asked next to him as always, and when he saw Xu Xun nodding, he immediately happily cleaned up the dishes and put them aside to eat. He was eating sweetly, and suddenly he only felt that there seemed to be some movement behind him, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look, and saw that it was Xu Xun standing behind him, and he almost turned over the bowl in a panic. The next moment, he quickly stood up timidly, and before he could say anything, he was pressed down by Xu Xun and sat down.

Xu Xun had never noticed that Rayson was eating like this, he had done two major things today, and his heart was relaxed, and he didn't go for a walk in the yard immediately after eating, but took advantage of the excitement to write a few words in the east house. At this moment, when he was pacing out and preparing to walk around the courtyard, he heard the sound of eating here, and it turned out that he didn't know it, and it was simply breathtaking at first glance.

The three plates of vegetarian dishes were now left with only the leftovers, and the marinated pork head was simply mixed into the remaining half of the sea bowl rice, and the sauce dyed the white rice into an extremely rich color. And Latham Latham was standing there drooping his head uneasily, and the corners of his mouth were sauce and rice grains, looking extremely embarrassed. Xu Xun originally wanted to make a joke, but looking at his thin body, the words that came to his mouth unconsciously became a different scene.

"Eat slowly, don't be so anxious, if it's not enough, let Jin Liu's sister-in-law make more in the future, and make sure it's enough."

"Young Master...... No...... I...... I can eat my fill......" Latham stammered for a while before he could utter a complete sentence, and finally shook his head vigorously, "My mother has always taught me that it is faster to eat than to work, and if you dare to waste a grain of rice, you will starve me for a day, I am used to it...... Young master, don't go and tell Sister-in-law Jin Liu, do more and buy more, don't spend money! ”

Seeing that Ruisheng's face was flushed with nervousness, Xu Xun couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "This is not your family, and your father is too, why is he so unkind?" By the way, isn't your mother dead, so why do you still remember the lesson? Speaking of which, when it comes to your mother's sacrifice, you can also worship and worship. After all, the grace of birth and nurturing is as heavy as Mount Tai......"

Before he finished speaking, Ruisheng's eyes were already red, and he suddenly interrupted in a low voice: "This is not what my mother taught me, it is my stepmother!" My mother died three years ago...... The stepmother gave birth to a younger sister to her father, and the family became more and more tight...... She always says I eat too much...... Dad couldn't help it, so he sent me here......"

Rayson sobbed as she spoke. Where did Xu Xun deal with the situation of this half-grown boy crying bitterly, he was dumbfounded, and it took a while to react, hurriedly handed over a handkerchief, and then ran out of the house. Standing outside and blowing a cool breeze for a while, he couldn't help but look back, and suddenly a trace of doubt suddenly appeared in his heart.

To say that the countryside is the most patriarchal, even if Ruisheng's father married his stepmother and gave birth to a daughter, there is no reason to send his own eldest son who can work in the field to Nanjing City to call him. If the stepmother can't give birth to a son, who will provide for him in his old age? If only he was a very successful master, but in the past, "he" was a broken jar and a broken prodigal!

*********************************************

Whether it was Xu Xun who went to Yingtianfu to see Xu Xun's housekeeper Zhu Sihai, or the Shen family's housekeeper Lu Quan came to see Xu Xun, the Xu clan did not know. After all, no one thinks that a helpless loser can make a name for himself, so naturally he won't stare at this side. And Xu Zhen and Shen Guang are just housekeepers, and the bigwigs in those clans will not pay attention to it. So, this night because of Xu Xun's actions, it was difficult to decide, and there were only two families.

Although Yingtianfu occupies most of the blocks west of Fudong Street, in addition to the main hall, two halls, three halls, etc., there are also places for a number of officials to do things, so although the Houya official party occupies a large area, it can be divided by a large number of officials, and there are not many houses left. Although more than 100 years have passed since the era of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, many officials do not live in the official house, but Yin Wuxiong of Yingtian Mansion, who is in the position of Yin of Zhengsanpin Mansion, is nested in that small place with his family, not to mention other subordinate officials?

So, Xu Yuan's family also nested in that narrow yard. It's just that since the news of his promotion came out, the ancestral house that was occupied by people back then was immediately vacated, and the clan even sent someone to clean and renovate it, saying that it could move in at any time. Although Xu Yi didn't want to move, he planned to let his wife move out with two sons and a daughter. However, this night was originally to discuss the matter of moving the house, but because of the letter brought by the housekeeper Zhu Sihai, he immediately left the matter of moving behind.

At this moment, he sat on the Taishi chair behind the desk, his brows furrowed, unfolded and frowned. Zhu Sihai, who was standing on the side, didn't dare to make a sound, but it was too tired to stand there bent over slightly, so he could only quietly change his center of gravity to one foot every once in a while, until Xu Zhen coughed lightly a few times, and then he hurriedly took the tea and sent it to his hand.

"Do you think he is credible?"

"Naturally believable!" Xu Zhen opened his mouth, and Zhu Sihai naturally breathed a sigh of relief, "Master, what is his situation now, how dare he dare to lie to the master?" I saw that he was talking listlessly today, and he was obviously disheartened, so I sent him away, and I went to the doctor to inquire about it myself. It is said that he was almost out of breath when he carried it back at that time, and then he tossed in the water again, and even if he didn't die, he would definitely be seriously injured. Besides, everyone else in the clan is thinking about driving him out, he must hate those guys, who else can he trust except the old man who has always been fair and honest? ”

Xu Zhen didn't answer, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Although I have found this seemingly beautiful position, there are too many people in the clan who covet the second room, so it's better to take a look at this matter for the time being." ”

Zhu Sihai was quite unimpressed when he heard this. Xu Zhen is the master, even if he is really willing to come down, it is he who really comes forward to take care of it. He had already inquired about those hundreds of acres of land, and it was said that they were all high-quality fertile fields, and he didn't know how many benefits there were when he got his hands on them. So, unwilling to give up, he lowered his head and said softly: "Master, forgive me for saying something that shouldn't be said, your promotion this time, the clan said that it was a celebration of the celebration of the compliment, but how much is the real benefit?" What is a dividend, a total of a total of dozens of taels of silver a year, but how much is the field rent of hundreds of acres of paddy fields in the south of our Yangtze River? ”

"Enough!"

Xu Yi drank Zhu Sihai in one gulp, but his eyes became deeper and deeper. After a while, he said lightly: "In addition to saying that he wants to divorce the Shen family, he also said something else?" ”

"Nothing else. After the fourth day, Kui Yuan Lou held a banquet, and the children of the clan should come at that time, and he said that he wanted to come to congratulate the lord. ”

Xu Yu remembered that there was indeed no Xu Xun on the list sent by Master Xu, and after thinking for a while, he finally nodded: "Okay, then let him come." ”

Seeing Xu Zhen speak, Zhu Sihai nodded understandingly, and then tiptoed out of the study. When he reached the bottom of the steps, he immediately stretched out his hand and beckoned Tao Hong.

"Tomorrow, you go to Xu Xun's house and send a post over." Seeing that Tao Hong was a little surprised, Zhu Sihai slapped him on the head angrily, "It's the one who came here today, not far from the edge of Dazhong Bridge." Remember to tell him, four days later, a banquet will be held in Kuiyuan Tower to celebrate the master's ascension, let him prepare well! ”
