Since the news that Xu Xun, the Marquis of Pingbei, was going down to the south of the Yangtze River, all the dignitaries and dignitaries in Nanjing City were busy. Even if there was news later, the Tao came to worship Xiaoling and Liu Jin together, and in the end, it evolved into Zhang Yonggu's big man, Ma Yongcheng, Wei Bin, and Luo Xiang all came, but for Xu Jiancheng, Duke of Wei, Zhu Fu, the garrison eunuch Zheng Qiang, and Chen Lu, the commander of Nanjing Jinyiwei, even if the six tigers were added together this time, it was not as important as Xu Xun's.

Everyone knows that Liu Jin's threshold is getting higher and higher, and many Nanjing officials have also wanted to open his way to transfer back to the capital, or change to other foreign appointments, but thousands of silver dollars are no longer in his eyes, and even before he made a scene where he was severely reprimanded and questioned for giving gifts. And when it comes to the status of Xu Zhufu, Zheng Qiang, and Chen Lu, it is more practical to talk to those big people who had few friendships in the past, or to talk to Xu Xun, an old acquaintance. As for Qiu Ju, another former one of the Eight Tigers who was only transferred to the Nanjing garrison at the beginning of the year, no one paid attention to his depression and anger.

Among them, there is one who is even happiest, that is Xu Yuan, the real head of the Xu family in Taipingli. Even if the patriarch let someone else be the leader, as a miscellaneous official who is promoted by people, he has now climbed to a rank that his ancestors have never reached. At the beginning of the year, he moved up one level, and he was already a sixth-grade Ying Tianfu general sentence, in charge of the criminal name, and he was no longer a person who had experienced a case like the Division, and finally had a few capitals. And because of Xu Xun's generosity in the family studies, now the children of the Xu family are eager to learn and study hard, which makes him feel very relieved.

He still lives with his family in the house that Xu Xun gave him that day. As Lord Xu's title moved up one level again, his wife politely mentioned whether he wanted to move out, pack up the house, and let Xu Xun go back to Nanjing to have a place to live and find another good house for his family, but he just shook his head with a smile. On this day, he came back early from Yingtianfuya, and he paced back and forth in the courtyard, and suddenly couldn't help laughing twice.

"Sir!" Zhu Sihai suddenly rushed in like a gust of wind, and after standing still, he didn't have time to take a breath, so he hurriedly said, "Pingbei Hou is here!" ”

Compared with the last time Xu Xun returned to his hometown, Zhu Sihai is now much smoother, and the title of Seventh Young Master will naturally never come out again.

However, Xu Zhen's reaction was more intense than last year, and after being stunned for a moment, the whole person turned out to be a spirit, and then there was an ecstasy of renunciation. That time, Xu Xun took Lao Tzu and his daughter-in-law back to his hometown to move the tomb, although he was ordered to give leave, but after all, there are still Liu Jian Xie Qian and other elders in the court, and now he is back again to return to his hometown, and he is the right-hand man of the Son of Heaven.

"Quick, take me to meet me! Wait, I'll go in person, it's over, you go and call the eldest young master!" ”

When Xu Xun hurriedly went out, he saw that the street in front of the door had been cleaned up, but he didn't see half of the guard, and Xu Xun, who was standing behind his back, stood on the left hand side of a strange little guy, but he didn't see Tao Hong, who he sent out back then, and the other young man on the right hand side was also unfamiliar, looking at his face full of pimples, but he was dressed more gorgeously than the little guy. He didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.

If it was according to Zhu Hou's usual temperament, when he heard Xu Xun calling the sixth uncle with a smile, he would have asked curiously, but at this time, he could only pretend to stammer, and he didn't say a word. When Xu Xun's eldest son Xu Shao also hurriedly came out to greet him, he followed the first three surnamed Xu in front of him to enter, and he had already learned that this was the place where Xu Xun grew up, and he couldn't help but look around carefully, and when he reached the innermost point, he frowned a little disappointed. …,

It's a small house...... More aggrieved than the palace!

The last time Xu Xun came to see Xu Yu for the first time, it was to generously help the Xu family in Taipingli rebuild their genealogy, aiming to give himself a dozen reputations, so as to lay the groundwork for contacting Lin Han and Zhang Fuhua, and this time he originally didn't want to come to revisit the old place. After all, this place doesn't bring him good memories.

Thinking that in order to survive under the pressure of Zhao Qin, he donated his property to the house, and only then did he get a way out of the house at the cost of leaving the house. If he hadn't taken Zhu Houzhao to the Shen family to see the Yue family first, and confirmed his identity as Shen Yue's cousin, and by the way, let the Shen family take care of other aspects, so that he could take Zhu Houzhao around logically, and Zhu Houzhao heard that his old residence was near here and must come, he would not have come here again at all.

For him, there are no emotional factors and interest factors left!

Xu Xun didn't know that Xu Xun didn't want to come here, and talked for a while about the good development momentum of the Xu family in Taiping for more than a year, and seeing that Xu Xun didn't seem to be interested, he coughed a little embarrassed and said: "It's all me Meng Lang, Hou Ye is now in a high position, but it is humiliating for us to say this little bit of Jinyi...... By the way, after Eleven Lang went to Jiangyin, a few letters came back and made great progress! Mr. Xu is recommended by Hou Ye, and he is vigorously cultivated, if it weren't for Hou Ye, Shi Lang would not be today, I am really grateful! ”

Seeing Xu Zhen saluting gratefully, Xu Xun had no choice but to reach out and help people up, seeing Zhu Houzhao's appearance of being happy, knowing that he was not much interested in staying here for a long time, he coughed dryly and said: "Tomorrow is the official entry into the city, I came today just to revisit the old place to meet my father-in-law, mother-in-law and the sixth uncle, only talk about the family ceremony and nothing else, the sixth uncle does not have to see the outside so much." Tao Hong stayed at home this time, and his father also needed a proper person by his side, otherwise he would definitely be happy to see the sixth uncle. ”

Although he really wanted to stay with Xu Xun to sit for a while, Xu Xun couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he saw that Xu Xun didn't throw out big things to discuss as soon as they met last time, and knew that people really just took care of the old feelings and sat down by the way. However, after all, he is a handful of old oilers in officialdom, and he will never show this emotion on his face at this moment, and after a few polite words, he plans to beg for his eldest son again, and see if he may get some more money. However, before he could speak, he saw that Xu Xun's little servant who had just left outside suddenly broke in.

"Young master, I just got the news that the ship has arrived at the Waijinchuanmen Wharf, and Grandpa Qiu has gone out of the city to see Grandpa Liu!"

As soon as these words came out, not only Xu Xun was taken aback, but even Zhu Houzhao was surprised. Since there is such a fork, the two of them will naturally not stay here any longer, Xu Xun instructed Xu Zhen a few words, and when he went out, he took a burden handed by one of the guards who suddenly appeared in front of the door, and after handing it to Xu Zhen, he smiled slightly: "I forgot about it in a hurry just now, this is what my father asked me to bring to the sixth uncle." I know that you have some old cough disease, this is the best gastrodia from Yunnan......"

When Xu Xun and Zhu Houzhao boarded the car one after another, and the carriage gradually set off on the way out of the city, Zhu Houzhao finally couldn't help but say: "This old guy looks like a very calculating old oilman, an old treacherous and cunning, and he obviously wants to borrow your strength again in that tone just now." Besides, he didn't help you much in the past, but it was thanks to you that he climbed to where he is now. ”

Seeing that Xu Xun was respectful and respectful, Zhu Houzhao thought about Xu Xun's cunning and couldn't spare his hands, and he didn't need to remind himself to snort lightly and said to him: "But your old residence is really not good, it is in tatters, and the Dazhong Bridge is famous, but just when you go up and walk, it's just a stone bridge!" ”…,

"Without that house, there would be no me. In the same way, without the stone bridge, there would be no me. Xu Xun smiled slightly, remembering that he and Xu Liang became attached to the big middle bridge, and the first good thing he did by mistake also allowed him to make the first popular capital in his life. It's just a little interesting to think about it, Fu Rong's original plan at that time was to let him clean himself and enter the palace to serve Zhu Houzhao, who was still the prince at the time, but now he didn't get stabbed, but he still developed through Zhu Houzhao.

As he was thinking so, Zhu Houzhao suddenly snorted softly and said, "If you want me to say that there is no me, let alone you now!" ”

Seeing Zhu Houzhao looking at him proudly, Xu Xun nodded with a smile again, and said in a loud voice: "Yes, yes, there is no emperor, and of course there is no me now!" ”

"That's pretty much it." Zhu Houzhao smiled with satisfaction, but after the carriage swayed for a while, he suddenly realized a major problem, and immediately said suspiciously, "No, why does this sound so awkward...... No matter, anyway, you keep in mind that you promised me to see all the great rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty together, and don't want to prevaricate in the future! ”

The words "good and good ......" are getting more and more awkward! Even though he knew that the little emperor didn't mean that, let alone that hobby, Xu Xun couldn't help but shudder, and snorted perfunctorily.

When the carriage quietly went out of the city from the Taiping Gate, it did not cause any commotion, and after the guards saw the waist plate of the commander of the Nanjing Jinyi Guard, they immediately let it go without even inspecting it. And when everyone went around in a circle and arrived at the Waijinchuanmen Wharf, they saw that several official ships and accompanying boats that were supposed to arrive tomorrow morning had already stopped there, and people came down one after another on the board. As for the dock, there were more than a dozen brightly dressed people standing in a row, and the fat man at the beginning was vaguely familiar, but when Xu Xun recognized people, he only heard Zhu Houzhao muttering beside him.

"Isn't this Qiu Ju? Why does it look fatter than Gu Dayong? ”

The enemy was very red when they met, and this word could not be more appropriate to describe Liu Jin and Qiu Ju who had met again. was sent to Nanjing, a place where he was in a panic, Qiu Ju borrowed wine to kill his sorrows and eat all day long, but he grew thirty pounds of meat in half a year, and he almost thought that he would never have the opportunity to face Liu Jin face to face in his life. However, I don't know if it's God's help, Nanjing Jinyi Guard commander Chen Lu is very kind to him, if there is any news, I will bring him a copy first, whether Liu Jin was squeezed by Xu Xun to go down to the south of the Yangtze River to worship the filial piety tomb, or the ship secretly set sail from Zhenjiang to Nanjing today, he was the first to know, so he was the first to arrive at this time.

So, he looked at Liu Jin with a smile, arched his hand and said: "Father-in-law Liu, I didn't expect that there would be a chance to see each other again in this life and this life, God really has mercy on me!" The land of Nanjing, both in terms of weather and customs, is much better than that of Beijing, and I hope that Gonggong Liu can stay for a long time this time. ”

Dare to curse me to your face, Qiu Ju, you simply don't want to live!

Liu Jin's eyes showed a fierce light, and he was about to ridicule him, but he was not the only one who got off the boat, and Zhang Yonggu Dayong and Ma Yongcheng, who found out early in the morning that Liu Jin had ordered someone to drive the boat first, and they could only rush over after persuading them. At this moment, Ma Yongcheng smiled and said: "Lao Qiu is right, Nanjing is a good place, Lao Liu, don't you always say that the weather in the north is too cold, and your scalp will be numb in winter, why don't you just go back and write to the emperor to stay in Nanjing?" ”

"Hey, I heard that Zheng Qiang, the eunuch of the Nanjing garrison, is almost old, this son is ready-made, and no one needs to move it!" If this was in the capital, Wei Bin wouldn't dare to have a hard top with Liu Jin in person, but now that he was in Nanjing, he couldn't help but answer a sentence in a weird way, and then patted Qiu Ju's shoulder affectionately and said, "Old Qiu, don't be discouraged, no one has taken over this Dongchang now, a little rabbit cub with the same surname as me before wants to make waves, so he will give a knife click, let's talk good things for you in front of the emperor together, and I will transfer you back!" ”…,

Luo Xiang also echoed: "That is, everyone says the Eight Tigers, and Father-in-law Gao is still struggling to support the celebrant with illness this time, how can he let the Eight Tigers be one less?" ”

Liu Jin was almost fainted by the squeeze of your words and my words, but this time, although he brought several henchmen and eunuchs, his grade was still a little bit hot, and he and Ma Yongcheng were afraid that they would be trampled to death directly. This is not in the capital, he also collected a large number of henchmen to wave their flags and shout under his command! The more he thought about it, the more he regretted this errand, gritted his teeth for a while, and was about to swallow this breath, but unexpectedly, Zhang Yong, who had been watching the excitement on the side, and Gu Dayong walked over together.

"Hey, brothers, the emperor also watched that a few of us have been nesting in the capital, so give this trip a leave to wander around, don't hurt the harmony of your brothers, Lao Liu, don't you say?" Zhang Yong glanced at Liu Jin with a smile, but patted Liu Jin's shoulder with great strength, and saw that the person showed a grinning expression, he just looked at Qiu Ju and said, "Lao Qiu, what Lao Ma said is what Lao Gu and I want to say, catch up with the opportunity, we will definitely speak for you in front of the emperor!" By the way, we are not pompous people, too lazy to let the subordinates put up a guard of honor to greet that set, simply, let's live in your garrison mansion? ”

Seeing that Liu Jin's face was blue with anger, and the other five people all clearly expressed their attitude of supporting him, and he suddenly felt that his heart was ironing and relieving his hatred for a while, and he couldn't wait to look up to the sky and laugh three times to express his happiness.

As soon as he heard the garrison mansion, he glanced at Liu Jin and said with a smile: "That's good, it's just that I'm used to living in a good house in the palace, just don't dislike my ugly room." But I don't have to worry about entertaining Pingbei Hou, he can be regarded as most of the landlords in Nanjing City! ”

Where is Liu Jin willing to live in Qiu Ju's house. However, when he heard this last point, he only felt a chuckle in his heart, and suddenly became a little suspicious. Xu Xun was born in Jinling, he wants to live in other places, don't be yin by this kid's tricks!

When Xu Xun waited until the group of people gradually got into the carriage and left, and ordered someone to call one of Zhang Yong's servants who were waiting for him to come over, and learned that Liu Jin actually swallowed his anger and really lived there Qiu Ju, he couldn't help laughing for a while. After laughing, he said to Zhu Houzhao: "Cousin, are you interested in appreciating the essence of Jiangnan gardens?" Wei Guogong is in the West Garden of Wei Gong in Phoenix Terrace, but it is known as the first garden in Jinling! ”

Although Zhu Houzhao wanted to see the gathering of the six tigers, Xu Xun's four words of Jiangnan Garden immediately attracted him. Almost without hesitation, he nodded emphatically and said, "Okay, they gather theirs, let's play ours!" (To be continued.)
