Master Xu drove Xu Jin down, and saw that although most of the people at the main table were just laughing, in his eyes, he could see the sarcasm in the smile. So, he became more and more annoyed with this second son who had more than enough success and more than failure, and thought about how to remedy it in his heart, and on the other hand, he must teach a lesson after he went back, but before he could come up with a reason, there was a bang downstairs. He suddenly thought of Xu Jin, who rushed downstairs in a hurry, and suddenly shouted in his heart, and hurriedly rushed to the railing in three or two steps.

When he looked down, he saw that Xu Jin was yelling at Xu Xun on the table, and he was even more angry and his face turned blue. If it is in normal times, it is just a loser who is about to be expelled from the second room, and it doesn't matter if Xu Jin is angry, but this is not just in front of people, but in front of so many distinguished guests! So, he couldn't help but press the railing with both hands and rushed down his head and yelled: "Xu Jin, don't be embarrassed anymore, get home for me to reflect!" ”

"Daddy!" Xu Jin was convinced, and suddenly raised his head and looked up, "It was all he who pleaded with me, I bought that fake, I don't look for him to settle accounts with anyone!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Master Xu was immediately annoyed. However, his son's face was greatly disgraced, and if he could save a little face at this time, he would be able to go down the stairs at all. Therefore, he didn't care about the discussion behind him, and shouted at his head: "Then come up and make it clear, don't fool around!" ”

Without waiting for Xu Jin to come up and pick up people, Xu Xun smiled and nodded at the worried little girl, and then lifted the corner of his robe and went up the stairs. Xu Jin, who was behind, glanced at the little girl in annoyance, hesitated again and again, thinking that the carriage that this little girl took last time was clearly from the Shen family, and she didn't know what it had to do with Miss Shen's family, so she might as well save some face, and finally left her and went upstairs.

Seeing this scene, the little girl wanted to catch up with her in three or two steps, but she saw Xu Xun, who was going up the stairs, with his hands behind his back, holding a brocade box in one hand, and gently shaking it twice with the other. Seeing this scene, she was stunned, and finally bit her lip and returned to her seat and sat down, but her eyes were always fixed on her head.

Seeing that the brothers had come upstairs, Master Xu didn't care about the questioning eyes from all sides, and only glared at Xu Jin fiercely: "Say, what's going on!" ”

It was easy to seize such an opportunity, and Xu Jin naturally added fuel and vinegar to say the whole thing. In his mouth, he became an unlucky person who was coaxed into buying a fake by his rhetoric, and Xu Xun became a cunning man with ulterior motives, and at the end, he sneered viciously: "If you don't want people to know, unless you don't do it, see how you can quibble this time!" ”

Although under Xu Jin's reversed black and white words, countless eyes were focused on him at this moment, many of them were critical or contemptuous, but Xu Xun was still calm. It wasn't until others finished saying that he said unhurriedly: "Third brother, when it comes to reading, you read more than me; When it comes to calligraphy and painting, you see more than I do; In terms of affection, although you and I are brothers, it is difficult to even say a few words all year round. It's just that I happened to meet in a small shop, how can I be able to persuade you to buy this painting, third brother? ”

Seeing Xu Jin's face pale when he was asked, he paused, but still maintained this calm tone: "Even if this painting is a fake, the third brother will just look away when he recognizes it, the so-called gift is a goose feather gift of thousands of miles, and the important thing is the heart, not showing off and comparing." The sixth uncle is a humble gentleman, and the guests are also elegant people, how can they account for a little negligence compared to the younger generation? ”

Xu Jin's face turned red with anger, and it took a long time before he finally found the reason: "You still dare to rely on it...... You are obviously deliberately trying to lure me into buying paintings and raising the price with me! ”

Xu Xun listened attentively and found that someone seemed to be stepping up on the stairs, for fear that the little girl would rashly come up to testify, so he deliberately sneered. After laughing, he heard that the little girl did not come out impulsively, his heart was a little wider, and he still looked at the angry Xu Jin with a smile, and slowly told the truth about the matter of visiting the calligraphy and painting shop. Seeing that Master Xu's face was like a pig's liver, he said lightly:

"I also figured out when the third brother suddenly competed for paintings, since the shopkeeper kept saying that it was the real work of Li Zhizhao, why would he sell such low-priced goods to others? This kind of deception is easy to lure people into at first, but if you think about it carefully, you can understand it. I persuaded you, since you don't listen, how can you blame me? Of course, I have to thank the third brother, if it weren't for your action, maybe I would have been coaxed by that annihilator. ”

"Enough!"

This happy man made such a small episode, and the most annoying person was none other than Xu Yu. are all his own sons and nephews, that is, to distinguish between right and wrong, which still gives people the truth of the Xu family's infighting, so he had to drink, and then he sank his face and said: "No wonder others have poor eyesight, San Lang, you have been studying for many years but you are so clumsy, you should go back and reflect on it!" As for Xiao Qi......"

Maybe it's because Zhu Sihai has been nagging about the hundreds of acres of land in the second room every day in the past few days, maybe it's because Xu Xun's calm words and deeds just now are more about his spleen and stomach, Xu Xun actually called Xiao Qi instinctively, and he also spoke back to protect one or two, and when he realized that this title was too close, it was too late. At this time, Zhu Sihai waited for an opportunity to come up, and said with a smile: "Master, since the Seventh Young Master has come up, why don't you see what good things he has to congratulate the master?" ”

"Ridiculous, don't look at this time!"

When Xu Zhen was scolding Zhu Sihai, Xu Xun unhurriedly took out a scroll from behind his back, and said with a smile: "The sixth uncle is happy, I specially found a very relevant scroll, so as to congratulate the sixth uncle on his great ascension." ”

Without waiting for Xu Yu to speak, he unfolded the scroll in his hand without taking care of himself. Liu Fucheng, who was already a little careless sitting there, only glanced at it and showed surprise, and Wu Qigongzi was even more of a young man, so he blurted out a good praise. He said this well, even other people who didn't care at first had to look at them carefully, and some even read it out loud.

"Xiongguan Mandao is really like iron, and now we are stepping forward from the beginning!"

"Sure enough!"

With this chanting, the four of them fell silent at once. Even Xu Zhen couldn't help but turn around and carefully study the ink-drenched cursive, chewing on the meaning of these two sentences, but it was Shen Tuiguan who stroked his beard there and laughed.

No wonder the virtuous nephew said that this volume was quite relevant. Brother Xu walked calmly and lightly this time, didn't he pass the iron male pass, and from now on he will enter a smooth road? ”

Everyone here, except for the younger generation or those who don't know anything about officialdom, suddenly realized. It is necessary to know that the seventh and eighth grades on the career path are a real hurdle, and the seven grades below are not in the stream, and even if they struggle for a lifetime, they are just a word. And on the seventh grade, he is a real court official, even if the promotion is slow, as long as he tries to plan slowly, he may be able to get a six-rank title when he arrives, and then there will be an edict, and his wife, parents, children and grandchildren are among the protection.

Although the words are quite stylish, they are not as auspicious as the meaning of these two sentences, and the full of praise made Xu Xun have a lot of face, so he looked at Xu Xun with a little more kindness in his eyes. With a smile on his face, he took the scroll and sent it to everyone to read one by one, and he asked kindly, "You wrote this scroll?" ”

"Uncle Sixth laughed, where can I write such eloquent words?" Xu Xun was relieved to see that many of the Xu family members on the seat were relieved, and the guests at the main table all looked like this, and even exchanged their heads, only Wu Qigongzi looked curious and asked who did it, so he slowed down his tone.

"It was I who went to visit one of my father's former best friends yesterday, and begged him for ink treasure because of the sixth uncle's ascension, and he couldn't help but beg me, so he wrote it to me with a splash of ink." Xu Xun lowered his head and said such a sentence, seeing that the VIPs at the main table suddenly realized, while the others from Master Xu and below froze there all of a sudden, but put on a more humble expression, "Originally, I didn't have that kind of face, thanks to my father's kindness to that uncle, and the matter of the sixth uncle made that uncle quite happy, saying that it was such a happy event that glorified the lintel, so I wrote this sentence." ”

"This word, this idea, is indeed written only by people who are full of ambition in their prime!" Liu Fucheng immediately laughed when he heard this, "It's just that Xu Qilang, compared to this word, the words are worse!" ”

"Yes, Liu Fucheng has good eyesight." Xu Xun bent down and said respectfully, "That Shibo happened to have an injury to his right hand, so this painting was made by that person with his left hand." ”

"Left hand!" After waiting for a while, he was amazed, and when he looked at it again, such a well-informed person as Fang Zhizhong confirmed that this was really left-handed cursive, and he was appreciative at the moment. Several of the highest-ranking officials even whispered in that whisper, and a breath of self-satisfaction came to the face of the words, thinking that the master was just when he was complacent, and he decided to be a famous scholar and a celebrity in the officialdom.

Xu Xun had just drunk a lot, and he was naturally even happier at this time, so he didn't have time to think about anything, so he only smiled and encouraged Xu Xun a few words. And although Wu Qigongzi is the grandson of Fu Yin Wuxiong, he is a nerd who loves poetry, and he sat beside Xu Xun stubbornly, and repeatedly asked curiously if those two wonderful words could have a source, and asked Xu Xun about the origin of the twenty-eight paintings.

Although Xu Xun's poem is actually memorized, where will he take it out at this time to show off, he only humbly deduces that he doesn't know, only saying that the twenty-eight painters are the number of the Shibo, and the rest is never mentioned. After three rounds of drinking, he quietly escaped with urine. It's a pity that when I went downstairs, the little girl sitting at the table downstairs didn't know when she had disappeared.

After standing for a moment in the wind at the door, he let out a long sigh of relief.

This is not the Tang and Song dynasties, not the era when one or two poems can move the world, even the famous Tang Xie Yuan and Tang Yin collapsed because of a lawsuit, let alone him? If he had written it himself, he would have had a reputation as a prodigal son, or worse, he would have been said to be an imposter and had nothing to gain. But if it is attributed to the father who no one can find, the meaning is very different - because it means that he also has a backer that no one else knows about!

However, before he could think about going back, a little guy suddenly rushed out of the Kuiyuan Building and went straight to him, but he bowed respectfully and said, "Xu Qigongzi, this is the name of my master." My master said that in the evening of tomorrow, I would invite the seventh prince to Qingping Building on the Qinhuai River for a gathering. ”

"Me?" Xu Xun had just had a few more drinks with Xu Xun, slightly drunk, "Dare to ask which master it is?" ”

"The Seventh Prince will know when he goes!"

Xu Xun pondered for a moment, saw that the thorn was bright red, his heart moved, and he immediately accepted it, and after saying a few polite words, he saw that the little guy went back to Kuiyuan Building by himself, and he followed in his heart. It's just that after entering the door, the little guy is already gone, and he doesn't know who sent it.

As soon as he entered the Kuiyuan Building, a carriage on the side of the road opposite the carriage immediately opened the curtain, and a brightly dressed middle-aged man shouted to the groom: "Don't be stunned here, go inside and inquire about the situation of the Xu family's banquet." ”

When the groom agreed to slip away, the middle-aged man lowered the curtain of the car, but muttered thoughtfully: "The big red name thorn, I actually use the big red name thorn in normal times!" It seems that this Xu family child really has some face! ”

PS: Two points to note. First, about the name change. It's very simple, because Huangming is the brand of people's solar water heaters, although I want to endure this, but I found that it is still unspeakable, so I gritted my teeth and changed it. Second, regarding the update, there are two updates per guarantee, which break out from time to time. Today, the first three thousand five, please click to recommend!
