Chapter 41: Darkness Under the Light
Spring sleepiness, autumn and summer napping are said to be the drowsiness that people often make when the seasons change. In the afternoon, at the gate of the small courtyard of the Xu family, a young man sitting there with a small bench looked at the intersection with his eyes, and nodded his head lightly from time to time, and almost fell on his knees several times. It's just that every time a sedan car passes by, he immediately has a stirring spirit that comes to his senses, but every time he looks up, he lowers his head again in disappointment, but it takes a while to come back to his senses.
I don't know how many times he went on and on, but when he instinctively raised his head again, he saw an old carriage that was too familiar to be familiar. In an instant, he jumped almost straight from the bench and rushed straight over. However, when the curtain was opened, he saw a man with a bare head running down, and he didn't care about this guy, so he looked into the car again, but saw that it was empty, and there were still people.
"Where's the young master?"
Jin Liu shouted at the old horse pulling the cart and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the young master will be back in a while!" ”
Hearing this, Latham immediately became listless, and with a soft sigh, he went back to the place where he had been, and sat down, ignoring no one's words. Jin Liu was used to seeing him in such a posture, and when he saw that Huitong looked at the little guy like this, he coughed dryly and said: "Let him go, this kid has only been with the young master for more than a month, but he is just dead-eyed, and he always shakes his head when he is homesick." I didn't believe it before, but there are naturally loyal servants in this world, but now I can't believe it. ”
Huitong was surprised when he heard this, and saw that Jin Liu had gone to the stable to clean up the carriage and wash and feed the horses, he thought that there was nothing to do, and the surname Suo went to the door to stand against the door frame, and chatted with Ruisheng without a match. Although the little guy ignored him at all, and it was rare to answer one sentence out of ten, he still enjoyed it. Just asking, he looked Rayson up and down, gradually showing a thoughtful expression, and patting and joking with people as if he was familiar. After a long time, he left Latham and turned to walk inside, but when he reached the second gate, he turned his head and looked back again.
Rayson couldn't remember how many cars he had seen pass by in front of the door, and even saw the fat man he had seen twice yesterday, and he replied that his young master had not returned, and he was almost about to fall asleep again when he was awakened by the sound of galloping horses' hooves. When he saw a familiar figure jumping out of the car, he rubbed his eyes almost instinctively, and then jumped up and ran up.
Xu Xun came out of the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses, first took Wang Shikun's car and went to Yingtianfuya, and after a while in Xu Qu's place before coming back, this trip was the car that Xu Qu ordered people to send, and he also told him about the clan assembly. At this time, when he got out of the car, he rewarded the coachman with more than ten dollars, and when he saw that people were happily going, he turned his head to look at Ruichen. Seeing that the little guy's face was full of worry, he patted the little guy's head habitually, and then smiled: "Don't worry, isn't this a good end to come back?" ”
Latham grinned at this time, and said while following Xu Xun inside: "Young master, I have already made the standard cloth you asked me to buy last time to make clothes. I got a total of four cotton shirts, and I used less than a fifth, and there are a lot left, enough to make a few more autumn clothes, I put them all in the box, and I will use them next time......"
Whether in his previous life or in this life, Xu Xun had no experience in these trivial things at all, so listening to the little guy's babbling at this moment, he nodded almost without thinking about it. It wasn't until Rayson said that Wu Yuanwai had come again, that he suddenly stopped, thinking that although Wu Shouzheng was a typical rudder, he was very handy in using it. Thinking about it, he gently pressed the Fu Rongming thorn in his arms again, and his face showed a hint of caution.
For example, a high-ranking and powerful person like Fu Rong, even if he really saved this person's closest relatives, it may still be possible to send someone to investigate his roots in detail, but he will never meet him in person because of this, let alone send such a famous thorn! Therefore, try not to use this thing as much as possible, and it is very likely that the other side is still watching his movements. If he wants to get out of the current predicament, if he wants to take advantage of the opportunity to fight for the future, he has to do it as beautifully as possible. It's just that what is in the heart of that Da Jue?
For a lunch with Wang Shikun, Xu Xun was only stirred up by the monk Huitong after a few bites, and then declined Wang Shikun's invitation, and went to the government to have a good time with Xu Xuxu, and now he is naturally hungry when he comes back. casually asked Jin Liu's sister-in-law to make a bowl of noodles to fill the number, he wiped it out with three times and divided by two, and after a few circles in the house, he suddenly arrived in the east room, grinded half an inkstone, took out a small piece of paper, and dipped the pen in his left hand and dipped it in the ink, and after a little thought, he began to write.
"Brother Xu."
After dropping these four words, he paused slightly, and then continued to write intently, actually writing to Xu Zhen in the tone of the Shibo he had fabricated. The letter did not mention the strange fire last night, but only mentioned that Xu Bian sent charcoal in his snow back then, praised the high righteousness and boldness of this second master Xu, and then said that the second master Xu had said that the trip was difficult and dangerous when he left, but if there was a gain, it was enough to shine on the lintel, but it was a pity that the old friend has not heard from him for many years. At the end, he added a few meaningful words.
"I heard that the Xu clan affairs, Jurong Zhao Qin has a lot of advantages. Xu's family affairs, Xu's rule, what is the hand of a fake outsider? Although the Zhao clan is a big family, is it involved in the internal affairs of the Xu family? Brother Bian used to praise Brother Xu's talent and righteousness, but the clan was based on his lineage, but the clan was old and refused to let go of power, so that the Xu family in Taiping was in a slump. Now my brother is proud of his career, would he rather use the clan as a constraint? ”
Drying the ink-drenched notepaper, he took out the envelope, and asked Ruisheng to invite Huitong to come, and first mentioned to him that the soldiers and horses of Nancheng had already been taken care of, and he would definitely not let Xu Liang suffer, so he handed the letter over: "You managed to send this letter to the east gate of Yingtianfu Ya, and named it to my sixth uncle." You've only been there today, try not to recognize you. ”
Huitong is so slippery, just listen to it and taste the taste, and immediately smiled: "Xu Qishao means, as long as people don't recognize me, it doesn't matter if you alarm people who shouldn't be alarmed?" ”
This shrewd thief monk! Xu Xun sighed secretly in his heart, and immediately nodded and said: "That's right, if you want to be public, you have to have a degree, and the great monk must grasp the proportions of this." ”
Huitong smiled, and immediately took the letter and walked out without saying a word. When he came to the door, he suddenly stopped, glanced back at Xu Xun in front of the desk, and then said thoughtlessly: "Xu Qishao, you Xu family members must know that you are really forced to be like this, and sooner or later you will regret it!" It's just that you don't just care about the troubles outside, since ancient times, there has been a truth that the lights are dark, and you pay more attention to the people around you. ”
Dark under the lights? Who is this guy talking about?
Seeing the curtain falling, listening to this specious words, Xu Xun wanted to use his brain more, but from last night to today, from seeing Fu Rong to coming back to encounter a fire and many aftermath responses, he didn't sleep well, not only did his head not move a little at this time, but he didn't even bother to lift a finger. So, he thought about waiting for Huitong to come back and ask, Suo went to bed, and Xu Yu actually fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took for him to be woken up by a call in his ears, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Monk Huitong standing at the head of the bed with his hands crossed, and his head outside the window had moved west. Huitong, who was dressed in a short dress, coughed lightly, and then said with a smile: "Xu Qishao, I have done what you have to do." The letter was sent to Xu Liuye's hand steadily, but a new door happened to come to the east gate to put Diao, so he made trouble for a while, and he wanted to come to Xu's house to find out. ”
Seeing that Xu Xun only nodded lazily, he remembered the content of his peeping letter, and finally couldn't help but sigh in amazement: "I can't see that Xu Qishao has such ability, that Xu Ba is a pair of Shibo who is talked about by the neighbors, you actually made it up!" ”
From entrusting Huitong to do this, Xu Xun knew that this monk was very capable of getting things done, but most of them would not let go of the content of the peeping letter, so at this time, the other party pierced it, he didn't even blink his eyelids, he neither admitted nor denied it, just yawned and said: "Just send it." ”
Huitong has walked the world for half his life, and people who can't slip have seen a lot, but at this moment, he was angry for the first time: "Xu Qishao, you trust me so much?" If I spread the word, your reliance will disappear in the blink of an eye. ”
"Listen to me." Xu Xun slowly swallowed the bed and stretched, then looked at Huitong and said, "It doesn't matter if this reliance disappears, then Wang Shikun is genuine." Since you are well-informed, why don't you inquire about it, since he is the younger uncle of the Wei State Mansion, the character who walks sideways in Jinling City, how can he run to my sixth uncle and wait to apologize to me? ”
Seeing the banter on Huitong's face froze there, he asked with a smile: "I want to ask, what you just said is dark under the lamp, I don't think it means that Jin Liu's two sons, is there any joint in Ruisheng's family?" ”
"It turns out that Xu Qishao, you are not knowledgeable about astronomy and geography at the bottom." Huitong snorted coldly angrily, and then said lightly, "You go and ask your little servant yourself." Xu Ba's crime is forty or fifty small boards, and others can only make a fuss about the punishment, as for him...... Although most of the sins were created by his old son, if there is a trouble, it will not be him alone! ”
