Chapter 11: Doing What He Likes (Part II)
The room that Zhu Sihai saw was not very big, and it was cut by a few partition doors in the middle, but there was only a chair in the center. When he spoke, Zhu Sihai didn't even stand up at all, sitting there with a teacup in one hand, looking at Xu Xun with a smile on his face, where did he look like a servant.
was pierced by someone's intentions, but Xu Xun still had a decent smile on his face: "Brother Zhu is half right, today I am here to take the door, but I am not here to find the sixth uncle, I am here to take the door of Brother Zhu." ”
Although he is only a subordinate, there is a way for a person to ascend to heaven and his own master to ascend to heaven, Zhu Sihai is not only honored, but also sees that those Xu family members who don't even look at themselves are flattering to him, and he enjoys this feeling very much. But after all, those people flattered him for the sake of the master behind him. However, even if he had been with Xu Yi for more than ten years, he knew his master's surname well, and he didn't dare to make noise in front of his master. So at this moment, Xu Xun actually said that he would go his way, and he frowned when he was stunned.
"The Seventh Young Master also thinks too highly of me, your business may not be effective even if the master comes forward, let alone me?"
What's more, why did he help this unproductive kid for no reason?
Just looking at Zhu Sihai's disgusted and disdainful expression, Xu Xun still didn't understand how the former master was an unpopular character. He took a deep breath, and immediately showed remorse: "Brother Zhu, I know that I used to do nonsense, and I don't ask the elders in the clan to open up. I was seriously injured this time and almost lost my life, although I was fortunate to have the doctor's wonderful hand to rejuvenate and pick up a life for me, but after all, it was a big injury to my muscles and bones...... In short, I brought it on myself. But I still have a marriage contract with the Shen family, if it goes on like this, it will inevitably delay the Miss Shen family, so I want to ask Brother Zhu for help and try to withdraw from my marriage with the Shen family. ”
Zhu Sihai initially listened to Xu Xun's remorseful words casually, only to hear Xu Xun say that he was hurt and his vitality was greatly injured, and the corners of his mouth were picked up, but he sneered more than pity. However, when Xu Xun said the last sentence, he suddenly came back to his senses, and his eyes widened for a while, looking at Xu Xun as if he was looking at a nerd.
"What did you say, you want to get out of the marriage?"
"Exactly!"
"Do you know what you're talking about?" Zhu Sihai raised his voice suddenly, "The Shen family hasn't mentioned the divorce to you yet, but you took the initiative to send it to the door, aren't you crazy?" ”
"Brother Zhu, I mean it."
Seeing Zhu Sihai looking at him with the eyes of a madman, Xu Xun smiled in his heart, but his face showed a more and more sincere expression: "I inquired, the engagement letter and the dowry were paid, if the man repents of the marriage, the dowry given out that year will belong to the woman, as long as there is no objection from both parties, the government will not chase and ask." Brother Zhu has been by the sixth uncle's side, do you know if this is the case? ”
"That's a good word." Zhu Sihai's face was cloudy, and then he looked Xu Xun up and down, "But you probably don't know, the sin of repentance is not small, the man regrets the marriage, if the woman sues, it will cost eighty rods!" ”
"How can the Shen family sue if they can't ask for something?" Xu Xun saw Zhu Sihai's face move, so he sighed softly and said, "Don't hide it from Brother Zhu, I almost lost my life this time, I already know that I was wrong." But it's too late to talk about this now, in addition to the marriage with the Shen family, I have another thing to ask for, that is, the family business left by my father. If I mess with it for a few more years, I will probably lose all these fields. Rather than this, I might as well ask a decent elder to send someone to take care of those fields, after all, I am young, and I don't know how to use people, if those lands are barren, how can I be worthy of my father. ”
As soon as these words were said, although Xu Xun did not squeeze out a few tears, just with his serious expression, Zhu Sihai changed from the initial disapproval to the current heartbeat, and even showed a rare smile on his face. He is an old man, and if he can't hear the interests in it, he can wipe his neck and hang himself. So, he immediately nodded cordially, and said approvingly: "The prodigal son does not change his money, but after a few days of hard work, the Seventh Young Master is really impressive." Come on, come on, this is not the place to talk, we talk in the room! ”
Although the room outside was spacious and bright, there was only a chair in the center, and just now Zhu Sihai saw Xu Xun come in, and he didn't even stand up. But as soon as he arrived in the back room, Zhu Sihai immediately beckoned Xu Xun to sit down with a smile on his face, and went to make tea in person. Xu Xun didn't know if the other party wanted to determine whether he was talking empty words, but his purpose today was just to impress Steward Zhu, and the main master Xu Xun couldn't see it, of course he wouldn't talk too much, and his words were vague.
But the more this is the case, the more enthusiastic Zhu Sihai becomes, when Xu Xun said that he planned to go to Kuiyuan Lou to congratulate Xu Xun on his promotion, but the elders of the clan had objections, he agreed to take a big package, and said earnestly that Xu Xun would go out to meet friends at this time and leave Xu Xun to eat at home. Where was Xu Xun willing to agree, insisting that he would come back next time, Zhu Sihai had to personally send Xu Xun out of the door.
At the root of the east wall of Fudong Street, Jin Liu sat in front of the carriage and waited and waited, only to see that most of the people who came forward to ask to see were unceremoniously sent back tickets, even those big families who were covered in silk and satin, but Xu Xun didn't come out for a long time, and he couldn't help muttering more and more in his heart. But no matter how he guessed or pondered, he couldn't think of what Xu Xun was going to talk about this time, so he could only stretch his neck again and again to look inside.
Suddenly, his vision was blocked, followed by a whip that someone had volleyed in the air, so so hard that he almost didn't slip off his seat.
"Look, don't move your broken car yet, don't get in the way of my master!"
Jin Liuyi was stunned, and found that in front of him was a carriage covered with dark blue satin stalks, the seams in the middle were stitched with a sheepskin, and the horses in the carriage were also very strong, not as good as his own horse. He was a knowledgeable person, and he knew that most of these rich people could not afford to provoke him, so he hurriedly drove the carriage to vacate a place, and then laughed and gave people a smile.
Although he lowered his posture, the brightly dressed groom snorted coldly and did not look at him at all, until he set up the pedals and went up with a full face to help people get out of the car. However, the curtain of the car only opened a corner, and a middle-aged man in it looked around, and saw that there were sedan chairs everywhere, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he made a gesture, but he didn't get out of the car at all, and only made a gesture to order the horseman to go to the east gate of the mansion first.
Jin Liu made room for others, and seeing that the east wall was full of sedan cars, and he had nowhere to go, he couldn't help but panic. When he was at a loss, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of someone coming out of the door, and after a closer look, he found that it was Zhu Sihai who personally sent Xu Xun to the door, and he almost didn't stare out of his eyes.
You must know that the last time he met Ying Lao'er of the third master's family, it was at the east gate of Yingtianfu Ya on this East Street of Fufu, and there was the fourth young master of the third master's family next to him. In front of this Steward Zhu, not to mention the most rappy Ying Lao'er, even the fourth young master was polite and polite, and he was still ignored. But at this time, how close is this Steward Zhu to his own young master?
Although Jin Liu was dumbfounded, his action of rushing forward was not slow at all. When he got closer, he laughed and shouted, Xu Xun only nodded at him, but Zhu Sihai smiled back, and then took a box of things from the hand of the scholar Tao Hong behind him, and handed it to Xu Xun with a smile, because he said with a smile: "Seventh young master, this is a mille-feuille cake made by a new cook in the family, even the old man who doesn't like sweets is full of praise, you can take this box back and eat it slowly." ”
"Thank you Brother Zhu for your trouble."
"Where, it's just a box of food."
"My master is the same clan of Lord Wu, what kind of person are you on the brand name, you dare to stop it!"
Xu Xun and Zhu Sihai were saying goodbye, but they suddenly shouted loudly next to them. Looking sideways, seeing that it was a brightly dressed groom pushing and shoving with three young men, Zhu Sihaiden was furious, and said to the frowning old man on the side: "When did the old brother's surname become so soft!" There are such nonsense people all year round, don't throw it out quickly, if you disturb Wu Dayin, who is recuperating, who will be guilty! ”
Since Fu Yin Wuxiong took office, there are fewer and fewer items on the door, and the old man is already full of displeasure, at this time, a horseman in this district also dares to go to Fudong Street to spread wild, Zhu Sihai teased again, and he immediately made a gesture to the other three. The next moment, I saw the three men holding their hands at one end and breaking their feet at the other, and threw the people out with two flicks. Seeing that the groom had fallen in the middle of the road and ate, Jin Liu immediately laughed in relief, and the crowd at the base of the wall over there laughed even more.
"Hillbilly!"
"Think you're a nobleman if you wear a good dress? This is Yingtianfu Nanjing City, not a small county town! ”
"Who is not richer and more decent than your master?"
Xu Xun didn't pay much attention to this sudden episode, he only glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze, and talked to Zhu Sihai for a few more words. When he got into the car, he saw that Zhu Sihai was still holding on to the curtain of the car, and he didn't forget to remind him: "Seventh Young Master, within a few days, I will definitely give you a letter, you can rest assured." ”
"Then thank you Brother Zhu, I'm waiting for your good news."
Although Jin Liu didn't understand what Xu Xun and Zhu Sihai were talking about, seeing that the groom who had fallen and had a blue nose and swollen face couldn't get up for a long time, he suddenly raised his whip triumphantly and shouted. He had gone far away in this carriage, and the horseman in the carriage got up in embarrassment, and stood beside the carriage with his head down. Before he could speak, the curtain of the car was lifted, and the middle-aged man inside gave him a big slap.
"Shameful thing, you got kicked in the head by a donkey? It's a good thing to mess up for you! ”
"Master, damn it...... small"
"What are you doing here, go after that carriage just now! Just now, it was personally sent out by the people in the yamen, and he said that what kind of young master is it, and there is a doorway to keep it! ”
