Chapter 43: The Opponent
Xu Fan saw that his father's face was gloomy, for fear of self-defeating, he didn't dare to play tricks anymore, and said: "This person is fifteen years old, quite bold and quick-witted, and his scientific name is Yuan Zuo. ”
Xu Jie's face turned slightly pale, and he turned curious: "Yuan Zuo? Which house is it? ”
Xu Fan has an excellent memory, and he has never forgotten it after hearing Xu Cheng say it once. The moment recounted: "His father's name is He, and he is a child in the county. The ancestral name is An, the great-grandfather is the crown, and the ancestor is in the name. It is the second son of Gao Zu Xiangong. ”
The Songjiang Xu clan became a Gaozu with Xu De. Xu Decheng has a son, Xu Xian, and Xu Xian has four sons: benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom.
Among them, Xu Ren and Xu Zhi died without a queen, and these two rooms can be regarded as extinct.
For the remaining two rooms, Xu Li entered the Huang family in the county town, and Xu Yi returned home to move to Sijing. Therefore, the Xu family has lived in two places since the third generation, one is the Sijing Xu family of Xu Yi, and the other is the Xu family of Xu Li's Fucheng.
Xu Li is Xu Jie's grandfather, and he gave birth to four sons, the eldest son Xu Huang, the second son Xu Huang, the third son Xu Mian, and the fourth son Xu Yan. Xu Hao gave birth to four more sons, namely Xu Long, Xu Jie, Xu Chen, and Xu Zhi.
The most important thing in Huaxia is to "chase the distance in the end", and people with a little family background have family ancestral halls. Under the Ming Dynasty, if you want to participate in the imperial examination, you have to go to the three generations of your father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, and Xu Xian is Xu Jie's great-grandfather, so he is naturally among them, so it is impossible not to know.
In this way, Xu Jie and Xu Yuanzuo's grandfather Xu An are cousins, and they are relatives according to the sixth generation, and they are still relatives in this generation.
Xu Jie sighed and said, "It turned out to be the Xu family in Sijing, and he was only fifteen years old, which is indeed considerable. ”
When Xu Kun heard Xu Yuanzuo's name, the anger in his heart was provoked again, and he said coldly: "I don't know where the wild man came from, and he climbs his relatives with the surname Xu." ”
The Xu family is not a hairpin family and has no genealogy.
In fact, Xu Xian died early, thirteen years earlier than his father Dechenggong. The four sons migrated abroad precisely because the family was poor, and Xu Li had to join the Huang family, which is even more evident. Although Xu Hao is an official, he is not a jinshi, and in the end he is just a Bapin County Cheng, and there is no contact between his brothers, where can he take care of Sijing's cousins?
As for Xu Yi's house, he has never even been a petty official of the eighth grade, and he has been farming for generations, and it was not until Xu An, the third generation, that he accumulated some family business. Among them, many children were scattered in the fields and cut off contact. If you want to find out the origin of the pedigree, you have to spend a lot of manpower and material resources.
Since Xu Jiezai ruled the world, the Songjiang Xu family wants to kiss him. There are even many people who are not surnamed Xu at all who want to pretend to be Xu, so Xu Kun said that someone is clinging, and it seems that he has a point.
Xu Fan said: "Xu Hekao Tongsheng has reported to three generations of families, and Lu Mou, a student in this county, is guaranteed for him, who dares to say nonsense?" Besides, it was only when my father asked me that I replied, but no relatives came to my door. ”
Xu Jie didn't want to listen to the fight between his two sons, and said, "Who is this son apprenticed to?" ”
"He's just a buddy." Xu Kun saw that his father was interested in Xu Yuanzuo, and he became more and more displeased: "It was just collected on the counter, and it is under Xu Cheng's management." He doesn't seem to be a clever person. The day before yesterday, he also smashed the gourd bottle of the Dao Ancestor who was given by the Imperial Ancestor, and he should have been expelled a long time ago. ”
Xu Jie didn't care about a bottle. He has been in the center for many years, and the reward he has received has long been lost. Just wondered: "How could a man break something in the house?" ”
Xu Kun didn't know how to answer.
The inside and outside are not connected, otherwise the family style is suspicious.
Making things difficult for Xu Cheng is the black hand behind Xu Kun's back, how to explain letting people take care of the garden but not even allocating a slave? And how to explain that the garden is also counted as an industry, and it is enough to install an empty title of "shopkeeper"?
Xu Fan smiled, seemed to be relieving his younger brother, and said, "It's just that the adults are too extravagant, so this garden is not placed by other slaves, and it will be handed over to Xu Cheng to take care of together with the old mansion." Xu Cheng had no way to be separated, so he asked Lu Sheng to hire a reliable guy in the township to take care of this place, which was Yuan Zuo. ”
Xu Jie nodded slightly: "Although there is no distinction between inside and outside, it is also a method." Nowadays, there are many things in the country, and even though I am at home, I really can't see extravagance. Several old men praised one after another, saying that the old man of the pavilion was free and easy.
Xu Jie and the others finished complimenting, and went through the couplet again in their hearts, and said casually: "Since you are in the garden, you can call it to look at your qualifications." ”
Xu Fan got up and agreed, turned around and ordered to summon Xu Yuanzuo.
Although Xu Cheng was excluded, no one could stop him from staying outside the flower hall with his qualifications. Even Xu Qing, the current big housekeeper of the Xu Mansion, can only do it secretly, and he has to be polite on the surface.
Seeing Xu Fan come out to explain, Xu Cheng's heart moved, and he got up first and said, "The little one will go." ”
Xu Qing had already heard about Xu Yuanzuo's deeds, and secretly felt that that kid was really a misfortune. Since he dares to fight against Xu Sheng, he must have Xu Cheng's support, how can Xu Cheng be allowed to use chicken feathers as an arrow at this time?
"Such a trivial matter, just call your legs and feet to go quickly, let's still eat and drink." Xu Qing grabbed Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng saw that a clever little guy ran out, flicked his sleeves, and said, "Master's orders, it's better for me to go safely." Regardless of Xu Qing's ugly face, he chased after the little guy.
Xu Yuanzuo was finalizing the deed with several squires in the winter garden at this time, that is, the deposit was collected dozens of taels, which can be described as proud, and suddenly broke into a small house, and said loudly: "Xu Yuanzuo is here?" Something tells you to go to the Autumn Garden Flower Hall. ”
This little guy shouted his name in front of so many people, it was nothing more than to step on Xu Yuanzuo's face, so that everyone would know that this person's status was low, and he was not as good as a small guy.
Xu Yuanzuo's heart was clear, and when he saw it, some big families immediately slowed down, obviously suspicious of his identity.
Such deeds and seals are undoubtedly undoubted if they are taken out by the steward, but it is very suspicious that they are signed by a similar person.
It can't be a scam!
Xu Yuanzuo straightened his waist: "Who told me to come over?" Who are you? ”
The little guy was about to have a seizure, when suddenly the wind rose in the back of his head, and he only heard a snap, but he was slapped hard.
This person is Xu Cheng who is chasing.
"Yuan Zuo, the lord is entertaining guests in the flower hall and calling you over to talk." Xu Cheng smiled: "You have to let go of something here." ”
As soon as these words came out, the entire Winter Garden was like a thunderbolt transit. After a short period of suffocation, everyone said: "Brother Shi, since you are the elder of the pavilion, how dare we delay you?" Let's go. ”
Xu Yuanzuo was quite grateful to Xu Cheng, thanked him first, and then waved to everyone: "Please wait, the kid will come back after listening to the teachings of the elder pavilion." ”
"Go quickly, go quickly, the matter of the elder pavilion cannot be delayed after all." Everyone was enthusiastic, and they couldn't wait to send Xu Yuanzuo to Xu Ge Lao in person.
Xu Yuanzuo followed Xu Cheng to Qiuyuan and asked in a low voice, "Shopkeeper, I don't know what is the summons?" ”
Xu Cheng said: "I don't know what it said, but the uncle personally came out to call you." ”
Xu Yuanzuo suddenly realized, and said secretly in his heart: Xu Fan finally found an opportunity to take out that couplet.
