In the small side hall, Xu Yi, who was in his early twenties, sat on the first chair on his left hand, but he didn't have the heart to taste tea at all, and frequently looked out.

His father was a veteran of Flower Street and Willow Lane, and he died directly before he was thirty, leaving behind a hereditary military position and a pitiful family property. Fortunately, his grandmother left him with the marriage and the old family Ding from Dingxiangbo's mansion early, plus he was born a talent, and he married the only daughter of a childless rich family. However, since Xu Sheng was sick at home, and he had no children under his knees, he might have to leave an empty title when he died, and his mind became active.

In a place like the capital, if he has no power or power, even if he has money, he will be trampled underfoot, but as long as he has a title, his wife will not be able to threaten him with a dowry again and again, and he will have glory and wealth in the rest of his life.

Because of this, he not only used his brains here in Xing'an Bofu, but also spent a lot of money to ask people to inquire about what relatives he had left, and this time he found out that he still had a cousin Xu Liang. Even though it was just a poor old man who worked for a short time, he tried again and again. However, after buying off a staff member around Zhao Qin, he didn't expect Zhao Qin to fall like this in a blink of an eye; He was dazed and listened to the bewitchment of others, and desperately fed his grandmother's old children with money, but the result of the assassination was still a failure. To do this, people just don't suspect him, it's impossible, and he has no way back, so he has to go all the way to the dark.

It was easy to see a few figures coming over from a distance, Xu Yi hurriedly stood up and greeted him, and after saluting, he diligently went to support Aunt Dai's arm. Seeing this scene, although the old women retreated tacitly, Aunt Dai retracted her hand impatiently and said: "What are you doing, you and the master are cousins, don't you understand whether men and women are intimate or not?" ”

"Didn't I think my aunt was my sister-in-law?" Xu Yi has always had a sweet mouth, not only was he not annoyed when he heard the words, but he was more careless to help Aunt Dai in the house, and placed the person in the main seat, so he went to pour tea and serve the host. It wasn't until a cup of hot tea was delivered to Aunt Dai that he deliberately asked, "I just knocked on the back door, and I heard that Xu Liang's people posted at the front door?" ”

"You're well-informed!" Aunt Dai glanced at him with a smile, and then said slowly, "You don't have to worry, the master has already ordered people to be kicked out, and no one will be allowed to come to the door in the future, and even the report will be banned!" ”

Aunt Dai originally wanted to show her merits, but seeing that Xu Yi was not happy at all, she frowned more and more, and she couldn't help but say unhappily: "What, you are not enough?" To get the master to favor you, you know how hard it will take me to work! ”

"Of course I know my aunt's heart." Xu Yi thought about the news he had just discovered, and he didn't care about anything else, so he sat on the chair opposite Aunt Dai, "But do you know that early this morning, the grandfather of the celebrant went to Fangyuan, the mansion of the Duke of Wei, to pick up that Xu Xun, and the eunuch Zhangyin Xiao saw him directly in the private house!" ”

"What!"

Aunt Dai is a woman after all, and when she heard the news, she couldn't help but feel a little lost, and after a while, she asked in horror: "How is that good?" If Gonggong Xiao says a good word or two in front of the emperor, let's not ......"

"So, we've got to get things done!"

Xu Yi said this word by word, and immediately propped up the coffee table with his elbow, and moved his head closer to Aunt Dai: "Grandma should know that if Xu Liang's father and son are allowed to enter here, none of us will be able to please him!" ”

"I know, I know......" Aunt Dai, who was already out of order, wrung her fingers vigorously, and finally burst out with a sentence, "Whatever you have ideas, I will listen to you!" ”

"Today's emperor respects several cabinet elders the most, although this matter is a blessing, but it depends on the resolution of the cabinet. We can't do anything about this old man, but I went to inquire about the officials who attacked the seal, and it was easy to see an important person. The man said, my grandmother is a serious stepfamily, and I have a military position, which is my biggest advantage, but the bad thing is that Xu Xun is a person who has been praised by the emperor, unless I ruin his reputation, it is easy to be exploited. ”

Seeing that Aunt Dai's eyes lit up, as if she was moved by what she said, Xu Yi said softly: "He first came to the capital, and since the eldest brother drove his father's people back today, he can't hold this breath." I asked people to keep an eye on his whereabouts, waiting for him to go out, stirring up some disputes to stir him in, and then informing the soldiers and horses that he could not escape from the charge of provocation and brawl. His former reputation was originally very bad, and he somehow got over in Nanjing, and this trouble, Gonggong Xiao, who had earned him praise for saying good things in front of the emperor, couldn't hide from it! ”

Unexpectedly, Xu Yi wanted to implicate the eunuch who was the master of ceremonies, Aunt Dai was shocked and frightened, and asked hesitantly for a long time: "Are you ...... Isn't it too much? ”

"Auntie, there are people above me!" Xu Yi patted Aunt Dai's hand with a smile and said meaningfully, "Xiao Jing has occupied the position of the eunuch in charge of the seal of the celebrant for all these years, and others have long been unaccustomed to it. Therefore, you blow more wind in front of your eldest brother and let him quickly make up his mind. He is a serious Xing'anbo, and if the fold is up, the matter is decided! I don't say anything like filial piety to you, here is 500 acres of land, signed in the name of Xing'an Bo Xu Yi, as long as it is done, this name will be ironclad, and the title deed is yours! ”

It was a morning in Xiao Jing's private house, seeing that it was in the middle of the sky, Xu Xun was going to say goodbye, but Xiao Jing insisted on leaving a guest, and he accompanied this top Da Jue for lunch, but it was an ordinary four dishes and one soup, although meat and vegetables are not top materials, but they have a unique home-cooked flavor, which shows that the chefs of the Xiao family are quite standard, and they are by no means comparable to the half-like Jin Liu's sister-in-law. And when he got up to say goodbye, Xiao Jing said another word.

"After all, Wei Guogong Fangyuan has not had a master for many years, and it is inevitable that the slaves below will not be controlled, and there will be many people. Fengcheng Hutong is next to the east of Fengcheng Houfu, there is an empty house, not big or small, just right, you find a day to move over as soon as possible. Also, if you have time these days, go out less in case you are summoned. ”

Although Xiao Jing didn't say who the owner of the house was, nor did he say whether the house was lent to him or given to him, Xu Xun immediately agreed without saying a word, and then bowed down and retreated, and Sun Bin sent it all the way.

As soon as he went out and quit Sun Bin, he saw that Jin Liu, who came out of the car today, was chatting with the coachman who lent him by Fangyuan's money manager, so he coughed, and the two immediately stopped talking and laughing, and Jin Liu even slipped away to greet him. When he put down the pedal and helped Xu Xun to get into the car, he found that Latham really didn't come out, so he gave the driver a smug look.

Jin Liu made up his mind to come to the capital this time. If Xu Xun is disgraced on this trip to the capital, Fu Rong and the others will definitely take care of him after he goes back, and his loyalty will naturally not be in vain; But if Xu Xun is developed, he is a hardcore old family, even if he is given to the dead monk to catch up, but wouldn't everyone in the future have to respect his qualifications? Because of this, he had been stumbling with Xu Liang since he was in Nanjing, completely forgetting what he had done to the poor old man in the past. Just now he boasted about the coachman from the Duke of Wei's mansion, and it was precisely for the convenience of his young master, after all, he was still blind to the road to the capital.

Sitting in front of the carriage, he was still talking to the coachman, what Nanjing garrison Fu Gonggong gave to the young master, what Guozi priest Jiu Zhangmao almost confiscated the young master as a closed disciple, and what Wei Guogong entrusted his son-in-law and brother-in-law to the young master, which shows the trust...... At the end, he smiled again.

"If you don't believe it, do you see the little guy who just followed the young master? The person didn't come out, but it was Gonggong Xiao, who was palm-stamped by the celebrant supervisor, who was going to go! Hey, there's someone above our young master! ”

Xiao Jing's private house is not far from the Wei Gongfang Garden, after all, most of the houses chosen by the powerful are the same, but they seek an elegant one. Xu Xun listened to Jin Liu's nagging outside, and he didn't think it was annoying, after all, even if he sent someone under the fence, he didn't want to be underestimated. The return journey was only two quarters of an hour's journey, and the carriage stopped at the west corner gate of Fang Yuan. Just as he was about to go in, Xu Xun heard two complaining voices from inside, and immediately opened the curtains.

"I used to be so embarrassed with the young master, and I was kicked out by someone so decent, I was really angry!"

"Isn't he just an earl? I actually dared to throw the post out and shout to drive people away, I really thought I was amazing! It's all our bad luck, with the wrong master, I really want to go back and beg the young master to take me back......"

"Whoever is talking in the porter, come out for me!"

With Xu Xun's shout, two people soon flashed out of the porter, it was the two little guys that Wang Shikun gave to Xu Xun, they looked a little similar, one was called Yong'an, and the other was called Changfu. Seeing Xu Xun looking at them from the car window, the two of them glanced at each other, their faces were a little pale, Yongan pulled Chang Fu smartly, and the two of them knelt down together.

"Young master, the little confessor shouldn't chew his tongue here......"

Seeing that Yongan still kowtowed after kneeling, Xu Xun glanced at the two of them coldly, and then dropped the curtain and said, "Don't be embarrassed at the door, come in with me!" ”

When he stepped into his small courtyard, when he turned around and saw Yongan and Chang Fu following him with their heads drooping, Xu Xun ordered Jin Liu, who was probing his head to probe his brain, to close the courtyard door. At this time, Xu Liang also came out of the upper room, and saw that the two little maids he had sent to Xing'anbo Mansion to post in the morning knelt down with sad faces, he suddenly chuckled in his heart, and immediately walked quickly to Xu Xun's side.

"Xun'er, I sent them to Xing'an Bofu to post posts, why did they come back with you?"

"Dad, I passed by the porter when I came back and heard the two of them complaining, so I called them in and asked."

After explaining to Xu Liang, Xu Xun immediately looked at the two of them, and asked in a cold tone: "If the matter is messed up, you will complain at the concierge if you don't return to your life, this is how the Wang family taught you the rules in the first place?" ”
