Chapter 124: Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed

Seeing Xu Xun kowtow to receive the order, the surrounding officials couldn't help but whisper. Especially Xu Li was even more stunned, he was one of the top nobles of the Ming Dynasty, of course he knew that the official position of this Xun Wei Sanqi Sheren began in the Taizu period, and the seal had always been the second son of the prince, but after that, the official was gradually abused, as long as the honorable people asked for the title for their children, they could get it out of ten, and this was also a necessary procedure before the other sons other than the eldest son asked for the title of military position. However, what does this have to do with Seo Hoon?

In front of everyone's eyes, Xu Xun got up with the order, but he asked Sun Bin, who was smiling, in the same confusion: "Father-in-law Sun, forgive the boy for being ignorant, this will ......."

As if he deliberately wanted everyone to hear, Sun Bin's voice was not small: "Oh, it's also a coincidence, the performance of Wei Guogong and other adults in Nanjing City was sent to the capital, and when the master of ceremonies and Gonggong Xiao was transferred to the emperor, it happened that the prince personally gave the emperor a bowl of soup, and the emperor was praising the prince's benevolence and filial piety, and he heard Xu Gongzi's filial piety, and he was naturally very happy." ”

As soon as these words came out, many people around suddenly nodded, and secretly said that this was the case. Only Zhang Mao frowned and asked: "The imperial court praises loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and kindness, and has always selected the best students, or the children of the country, how can they suddenly award the honor of the guards and the horses?" ”

"Our family wasn't here at the time, so I don't know." Sun Bin frowned in embarrassment, and then said with speculation, "However, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was next to him at that time, maybe it was...... The prince mentioned it casually? ”

At this time, even Xu Li, the Duke of Wei, was relieved. Today, Emperor Hongzhi favors Empress Zhang the most, so the two marquis of the Zhang family are unspeakably noble, not to mention the prince who is regarded as a treasure. It is said that the prince has a lot of strange ideas, and if this master really said it casually on the spur of the moment, there would be nothing strange about this will. Even so, because of such a will, the crowd that originally attended the meeting was just a lively crowd was naturally amazed, and almost everyone was talking about Xu Xun's good luck.

It wasn't until the crowd gradually dispersed that Sun Bin resigned from Wei Guogong and came out, and when he went out to get into the car, he saw Xu Xun and Xu Liang waiting on the side, so he asked for his surname and asked the two to get in the car together. As soon as he closed the car door, he saw that Xu Xun was familiar with the door and presented a letter of silver, and after he was stunned, he took it with a smile and didn't look at it in his arms. He is just a celebrant and a celebrant who writes, and he is far from being a very high-grade eunuch, of course, he can't use this proclamation to scrape the ground, but a little gain is not in vain.

"Xu Xun, you are really blessed, Grandpa Xiao doesn't know how much work it took for you to do this, don't let Grandpa Xiao down!"

Although Sun Bin let Xu Xun and Xu Liang down halfway and rushed back to Beijing without stopping, the sentence "Don't let Gonggong Xiao down" alone is meaningful enough. After all, Xu Xun finished the most critical volumes of the "Daming Huidian" in Fu Rong's library building, so of course he was sure that the title of Xunwei Sanqi Sheren was not rewarded by the emperor out of thin air, and the eunuch in the capital who was in charge of the seal of the master of ceremonies at least tactfully mentioned Xu Liang's origin to the emperor, or used other hidden small means.

And when he saw Fu Rong, who had been lying on the sickbed for several days due to the heat, Fu Rong didn't even ask Sun Bin what he said, he leaned on the pillow and said weakly: "Gonggong Xiao is the palm seal of the celebrant supervisor, and he can not leave the center after several ups and downs, naturally different from our family's rapid retreat, what he wants should not only be himself, but also the glory of his children and grandchildren, remember, it is glory rather than wealth." His family is big, and there are no less than ten nephews and nephews, among which there is even one who lifts a person and a showman, and it is said that the two of them have good schoolwork, and they may be able to enter the Jinshi in the future. As for the children and grandchildren in the palace who are recorded in his name, I am afraid that there are dozens of them, and there are two by the prince's side, but none of them are really loved by the prince. ”

Seeing Xu Xun's expression of sudden realization, Fu Rong casually picked up the cool towel on his forehead, motioned for Chen Lu to change it for him, coughed twice, and then continued: "The prince has been out of the pavilion to study for many years, but the master of the East Palace can't see the prince a few times a year. As far as we know, the prince has no intention of studying, he is interested in dancing knives and guns, he is also interested in amusement and frolic, and he is more interested in leaving the palace, but he is most disgusted with those ministers who are full of mouths. Among the eunuchs who served beside him, there were not many who came out of the inner study hall seriously, so although he still respected Gonggong Xiao, he couldn't mention it when he was close. ”

"Our family thinks that Gonggong Xiao should take a fancy to your bold but meticulous surname, as well as the experience of being in the market for many years, plus such a background, so I hope you can pull the prince's heart back, if you can make the prince grow a little, then the emperor will naturally credit him. In addition, before this will arrives, our family has already received the news, and Gonggong Xiao made it clear to the emperor that you used to be foolish and that you almost lost your life and changed your past mistakes, so the emperor made this unbelievable will. Whether or not your father Xu Liang's title can be obtained will fall on you! ”

This heavy joint made Xu Xun dumbfounded. After all, he could only speculate and judge according to the clues one by one, and Fu Rong was simply familiar with Xiao Jing's experience and surname. Squinting at Xu Liang, who looked even more shocked, he took a deep breath, and then took the cool towel handed by Chen Lu and put it on Fu Rong's head.

"Why did Gonggong Fu say so thoroughly to me?"

Fu Rong didn't answer this question, but suddenly asked, "Xu Xun, our family is good to you?" ”

Seeing that Xu Xun nodded without saying a word, he smiled and said: "Gonggong Xiao summoned you to the capital, and it was done, he is indispensable to the credit, but if it doesn't work, it doesn't hurt, and it can even be pushed on the non-people recommended by our family." But our family is different. Although our family is younger than him, this body is already old, and I don't know how many years I can earn, and although Heng'an's surname is much better than before, there are still shortcomings to welcome the door, and this Fu family needs support. Chen Lu can take care of it, but he doesn't have any other support, so our family will help you, but it's not unconditional. ”

He sat up straight, looked at Xu Xun with his eyes, and said word by word: "As long as you really sit firmly, with you, take care of Heng'an and Jin'er, and ensure that Chen Lu can still manage Nanjing Jinyiwei, can you do it?" ”

Xu Xun originally wanted to say a few words of humility or something, but in the face of Fu Rong's naked gaze, he finally stood up and said deeply: "Father-in-law, please rest assured." ”

"Good!"

Fu Rong glanced at Chen Lu, and when he saw Chen Lu stepping forward to help Xu Xun up, he leaned back again, and said lazily: "You just went to the capital like this, you didn't know that you were swallowed alive by life." Do you remember the old servant who led you to the "Daming Huidian" in the library last time? His name is Mu Huaien, because he admired his father-in-law Huai during the Chenghua period, so he gave him such a name. Our family has a great kindness to this man, so although he is quite knowledgeable, he still stoops to be a servant. In addition, Jing Bule, who taught Rayson etiquette, is an apprentice of our family, and he is very familiar with the personnel in the court and palace, and has sorted out the documents to and from the capital for our family. Both of these are given to you. Then, we will give you eight more strong guards, and from now on, they will all be yours. As for Rayson & Sherson, our family has already agreed with Father-in-law Xiao that he will directly accept Rayson when the time comes, so as not to worry about this little guy being bullied in the palace......"

This confession was a whole hour, and when Xu Xun and Xu Xun retired, Fu Rong drank half a cup of hot tea in one go, and then rested for a while before looking at Chen Lu and saying, "What, do you think I love him too much?" ”

"When a father-in-law does something, he must have a deep meaning."

"Less sycophants!" Fu Rong sneered, and saw that Chen Lu took off the towel with his own hands and went to the copper basin on the side to re-twist it and put it on, so he sighed, "I know you have to ask, since you have gambled all these together, why don't you consider what Heng'an said just now and marry Jin'er to him." To be honest, I used to think so, but then the relationship between him and Xu Liang became full of uproar, and Jin'er got rid of a girl who had been serving her for six years because someone chewed her tongue, and I gave up the idea. This girl is too arrogant, and she can't get along with smart people like Xu Xun, so it's better to stop than to complain about her husband in the future. For example, our family almost wanted to send him to the palace study...... Ahem, these are not things you want me to do, so it's better to do less. ”

"But my father-in-law should talk about the benefits and disadvantages to Jin'er, she should be able to ......"

"She? She looked at the wind and fire, and she had a big idea, so it was better to pick one that could go her way, and finish her life in a plain way. ”

Fu Rong waved his hand to signal Chen Lu not to say any more, and immediately said: "If it weren't for the fact that Xu Xun, this kid is still a person who values love and righteousness in his bones, I wouldn't have gambled on it in one go." You are in the palm of your hand, don't you tell me that this time he and Xu Liang made such a big disturbance, it's just that the mother and son in the Xu family's room are going crazy? Since he can give up those fields to find his father's whereabouts, he will not be at the mercy of others this time, and this turmoil does not hope that his son Xu Bian will appear. It's a pity that Xu Bian seems to be really dead, and they may be real father and son, plus Xu Liang is out to save people, and he is desperate to build momentum for him, which really moved him. ”

People's hearts are flesh and blood, and they will gain as much as they give!

Fu Rong didn't say this, but Chen Lu could certainly think of it. And Xu Xun, who left Fu Rong's room outside, also had this thought in his heart. When he walked to the secluded place of Fu's mansion, he suddenly stopped when there was no one on all sides, and hugged him vigorously without waiting for Xu Liang to react, and only let go after a while. Even so, Xu Liang was still frightened, and only after a while did he stammer: "You...... You ......"

"Dad, I haven't been able to find a chance to tell you before...... Thank you! ”

Xu Liang reacted at this time, and saw Xu Xun looking at him with a smile, and there were no outsiders around, so he said unnaturally: "Thank you...... If you want to say that I am the burden on you. I am too familiar with the whistle, when my step-grandmother married in, there were four generals from the Dingxiang Bofu who had been married by me, and I had secretly learned their battle array martial arts when I was young. They often use this kind of whistle to inform each other of their enemies, and this time they are not only disciples and grandchildren. So ......"

"How can a father say anything to his son, and it doesn't affect him." Xu Xun interrupted Xu Liang's words with a smile, and then naturally held Xu Liang's arm and said, "All in all, we will remember this account first, and then we will calculate it when we get to the capital!" ”

Listening to the deep confidence in Xu Xun's words, Xu Liang couldn't help but be stunned for a while. I don't know that he was supported by Xu Xun for a long time, and he showed a smile of relief, and unconsciously leaned on Xu Xun's body, and his heart was warm and ironing.

It feels like a son...... That's nice!

Yuzi passed quickly day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it was Yuzi where Xu Xun set off for Beijing. Xu Zhen wanted to send two people to express his closeness again, but seeing that Fu Rong had allocated eight guards to Xu Xun in one go, and Wang Shikun, who wanted to go to the capital with Xu Xun and others to visit Xu Yongning, the Duke of Dingguo, also sent Xu Xun a pair of small servants, so he dismissed his original idea and reluctantly sent one hundred or two Cheng Yi instead. As for Fu Rong, in addition to the people he had agreed in advance, he also asked Xu Xun to bring a lot of gifts from all the big people in the capital, and he also gave an additional 1,000 taels of entanglements. And Zhang Mao was still the true character of the teacher, and gave Xu Xun a whole box of books, in addition to the Ten Commandments of the Gentleman written by himself, and asked Xu Xun to bring a private letter to Xie Duo, the priest of Yanjing Guozi.

Because of his wife, Xu Li, the Duke of Wei, who was quite fond of his brother-in-law, was also personally sent to the dock on this day. He didn't care about his own concubine Xu Xu, but he gave a stern advice to Wang Shikun, but he was not enthusiastic about Xu Xun. Not only did he speak politely, but he even gave Xu Xun 600 taels of Chengyi as soon as he made a move, which surprised Wang Shikun. Before he could set off, he pulled Xu Xun and muttered quietly.

"Xu Xun, you have a good ability, you can make my brother-in-law who can't get in and out of me bleed so much. When I went to the capital this time, my father gave me three hundred taels of silver, and my eldest sister gave me another seven hundred taels, a total of one thousand. It's not big, but it's almost enough. But do you know how much my brother-in-law gave my cheap nephew Xu Xu? Three hundred taels! ”

Wang Shikun made an extremely exaggerated gesture, and then squeezed his eyebrows and said, "He asked Xu Xu to go to the capital to visit the Duke of Dingguo, and the medicinal gifts he bought were not more than two hundred taels in total, but Cheng Yi for one person was six hundred taels!" I don't know if my nephew is so hated that he wants to vomit blood, his treatment is not as good as the goods on the ship! ”

Of course, Xu Xun knew that Xu Li's big gesture was out of early foreshadowing, and after dealing with Wang Shikun with a smile, he walked to his own big boat, and thanked Wu Shou who came forward with a smile on his face, which made this benevolent and wealthy man smile.

Although it cost a lot to hire this big boat to send Xu Xun to Beijing, as the price of climbing to Nanjing to garrison Fu Rong, this little money is nothing!
