Chapter 84 The Humble Gentleman Xun Wenruo
[Xun Yu, Xun Wenruo...... How did he come? ]
Seeing his mother very enthusiastically beckoning the uninvited guest to sit down, Xu Fu secretly complained in his heart.
You have to know who Xun Yu is? That is the young master of the Yingchuan Xun family, and the heir to the huge family business of the Xun family, including the Yingchuan Academy where Xu Fu once studied, which is also the academy founded by the Xun family.
When Xu Fu was nervous, Xun Yu and Zhang Huang were looking at each other. Finally, the kind and humble Xun Yu took the lead in arching his hand and said politely, "In the lower jaw Yin Xun Yu, if the words are ruling, I don't know what to call this little brother?" β
[It turns out that he is Xun Yu......]
Zhang Huang carefully looked at the head of the later Cao Wei State in history. In all fairness, Xun Yu's appearance is not handsome, but he is quite heroic, well-dressed, and extremely elegant.
If Cao Cao's perverse behavior left a deep impression on Zhang Huang's heart, then the eldest son of the Xun Yu Xun family in front of him, even if it was the first time they met, it made Zhang Huang feel a sense of closeness as if he was a close friend. Xun Yu's personality charm is even above Cao Cao.
"In Xia Zhang Huang!" Zhang Huang replied with a fist.
Xu Fu, who was present, secretly complained in his heart, he had already realized that something was wrong when Xun Yu asked, and Zhang Huang's self-introduction seemed to push him into the fire pit.
"Huh?" Sure enough, Xu Mu showed a confused look on her face. Look at Wen Ruo and then at Zhang Huang, and said in surprise, "Wen Ruo." Don't you know Xiaohuang? β¦β¦ According to my son, Xiao Huang is also a student in the 'big house' of the college......"
Hearing this, Xun Yu raised his eyebrows, stared at Xu Fu with a bitter face, and suddenly smiled, "Auntie, you are really too high-minded." If you want to say that it is a student of 'Xiaoshe', Yu can still recognize a few people. But if it is a student in the 'big house', there must be hundreds of people in the 'big house' alone, and that's it. How did Yu remember to come over? β¦β¦ However, after Zhang Xueyi said this, Yu was a little impressed......"
"......" Xu Fu and Zhang Huang looked at Xun Yu in surprise, obviously. This is Xun Yu relieving them of the siege.
"Wen Ruoke is the pride of our Yingchuan County. I heard someone say that Wen Ruo can carry a thick book of classical ...... under a stick of incense If only my son had this ability to remember. While praising Wen Ruo, Mother Xu couldn't help revealing a little envy in her tone, which made Xu Fu, who was a little surprised when she heard this, pouted her lips dissatisfied.
Xun Yu obviously saw the displeasure in Xu Fu's eyes, and said with a smile when he heard the words, "Auntie's words are embarrassing." Yu is the pride of Yingchuan County, and there are countless students in the private school who are far more talented than Yu, like Zhicai and Fengxiao. They are all geniuses that have not been born in a hundred generations, even your son, ...... "Speaking of which. He glanced at Xu Fu intentionally or unintentionally, and Zhengse said, "How can Yuan Zhi not have the talent to never forget?" It's just that his heart is a little impetuous, and he can't study knowledge with one mind, if Yuan Zhi can calm down and concentrate on learning, I'm afraid his achievements will be above Yu......"
"Listen to what your senior brother said!" Xu Mu unceremoniously knocked on Xu Fu's head.
Xu Fu naturally didn't have the courage to disobey his mother's words, so he nodded again and again, but in his eyes that he looked at Xun Yu, the gritted teeth couldn't hide it from Xun Yu and Zhang Huang present.
"Wen Ruo, my son went home to visit my aunt today, why didn't I go with you?" Xu Mu asked with some confusion, and her question once again made Xu Fu feel nervous.
"This ......" Xun Yu thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Yu also heard that Yuan Zhi went home to visit your aunt today, so I came to meet him." β
Mother Xu felt even more strange when she heard this, and asked suspiciously, "Why haven't you seen it for a long time?" Aren't they all in the academy? β
When Xu Fu heard this, the cold sweat on his forehead fell down, Xun Yu saw that he was amused in his heart, and after thinking for a while, he said, "It's such a lady, Yu has just taken over the academy recently, and she is thinking about making some improvements to the previous teaching methods, so she is quite busy with affairs on weekdays, and she rarely has time to get together with Yuan Zhi......"
"You've taken over the academy?" Xu Fu looked at Xun Yu in surprise.
Even an open-minded figure like Xun Yu couldn't help but show a little pride on his face when he mentioned this matter, and said a little, "Yes, a month ago, the sixth uncle finally agreed and officially passed on the position of the president of Yingchuan Academy to Yu. β¦β¦ Not in his position, I don't know how hard it is. Among so many students, there are always a few troublesome ......" As he spoke, he glanced at Xu Fu a few times, and Xu Fu was heartbroken.
"That'...... What about Master Tzu Ming? Mother Xu asked with a worried face.
It seemed that he saw through the worry in Mother Xu's heart, Xun Yu hurriedly explained, "Auntie, don't worry, the sixth uncle's body is still healthy, but the court once again handed down a summoning document to summon the sixth uncle to serve in the court, and this time the tone was quite tough. Although the sixth uncle has the heart to serve the country, but now that the court is filthy, the sixth uncle is unwilling to give in, so he resigned due to illness. In order to avoid telling the truth, the sixth uncle passed the academy to Yu and concentrated on writing......"
"Oh, that's right." Mother Xu was relieved at this time, patted her chest and muttered, "Master Xun is virtuous, he will be able to live a long life, a long life...... after speaking, she suddenly thought of something, and said enthusiastically, "While my son is here today, Wen Ruo might as well eat here, anyway, here are all your students from Yingchuan Academy, so you must be able to talk together...... Auntie, I'm going to the market to buy some food. β
Xu Fu couldn't wait to drive Xun Yu away immediately, where was he willing to leave him to eat at home, but before he could speak, he saw Xun Yu waving his hand and said apologetically, "Auntie, I'm really embarrassed to say it, Yu Fang just hid something from you, in fact, Yu came to find Yuan Zhi this time......
Xu Fu's nose was crooked angrily, and he said in his heart that I had been away from home for almost a whole year, and I only returned home today, and you still said that you came to me specially?
However, just as he was about to speak, he saw Xun Yu's eyes narrow, smiled and lowered his voice and said, "You won't want Yu to reveal the truth to the eldest mother." Right? β
[That's kind of a ...... Threatened, right? ]
Zhang Huang looked at Xun Yu with a smile in amazement, he never imagined that Xun Wenruo, who was known for his loyalty in history, would have such a dark side. Grab Xu Fu's handle as a threat.
"Xun Wenruo ......"
Xu Fu gritted his teeth and cursed quietly, but there was nothing he could do. After all, he didn't want his mother to know that the son she had high hopes for was actually no longer a student of Yingchuan Academy.
"Aren't you eating here?" Mother Xu, who came out of the kitchen, didn't hear Xun Yu's threat to Xu Fu, but her face showed a little disappointment. However, she quickly concealed the loss in her heart and said to Xu Fu. "Fu'er, even if the academy has something to do with you, you should go back quickly."
"Mother......" Xu Fu said bitterly. I had to nod slowly.
"Or else?" Xun Yu obviously saw the loss in Xu's mother's eyes, and said with a smile, "Auntie, or let's bother us today." Eat at your place. But after eating, you have to forgive Yu for taking your son away......"
When Mother Xu heard this, her eyes suddenly bloomed a little brighter, and she rubbed her hands and said, "Okay, then aunt, I'll go to the market to buy some wine and food." With that, she turned and walked into the bedroom, but when she came out again, there was a little worry between her eyebrows.
Seeing this, Xun Yu stood up. Said softly to Mother Xu, "Auntie." Borrow a step to speak. β
"What's wrong, Wen Ruo?" Xu Muqiang smiled reluctantly.
"That's right, in fact, Yu is here this time, not just for your son...... Last month's salary, it's time to settle it to you, auntie. As he spoke, Xun Yu took out a fluttering money bag from his arms, took out a silver ticket from it and handed it to Xu's mother, and said in a low voice, "This is the fifty taels of silver tickets issued by my Xun's bank, and my aunt keeps it as an application expense. As for the rest of the wages, Yu has the courage to convert it into rice for you, or the old rule, on the first day of every month, my Xun family will send someone to send rice to your aunt......"
"Fifty taels, that's too much...... Mother Xu frowned when she heard this, and said, "Auntie, I just washed some clothes for the students, where did I use so much?" Ten taels ...... as ever"
"That's right." Interrupting Xu's mother's words, Xun Yu smiled and said, "These are all Yu's senior brothers and younger brothers, how can I ask the eldest lady to break the bank?" β
"It doesn't cost a lot of ...... to eat a meal"
"Auntie, you have the right to borrow a treasure from you, and invite a few of my junior brothers and junior brothers to have a meal. β¦β¦ As the young leader of the Yingyin Xun family, how can you invite guests to dinner? You don't want to lose face, do you? β
"This ......" Xu Mu hesitated, nodded for a long time and said, "Okay, aunt, I heard that everyone in the county praises the cinnamon wine, I'll bring some back when I go back." β
"Wonderful, wonderful!" Xun Yu stroked his palms and smiled, arched his hand and said, "There is Aunt Lao." β
"Where does Wen Ruo speak." Mother Xu said with a smile, the previous melancholy between her eyebrows disappeared without a trace, and looked back at her son Xu Fudao, "Fu'er, go to the market for your mother, and you will entertain a few of your students for your mother." β
"Save the child." Xu Fu stood up and said respectfully.
"Ah Zhi, trillion, Xuan Gao, Ziyi ......" Zhang Huang made a look at several brothers at this time, Chen Zhi and the other four people understood, followed Xu Mu and said, "Auntie, we will help you...... There are so many things that you can't get by yourself. β
said, regardless of Xu's mother's polite words, she followed and left.
At this time, Zhang Huang took the time to look at Xun Yulai again. At the moment, he obviously guessed that the reason why Xu's mother came out of the bedroom with a little worry in her eyebrows was nothing more than embarrassment, but Zhang Huang didn't realize this at that time, but Xun Yu saw the embarrassment in Xu's mother's heart and came forward to resolve it.
This ability to observe words and colors is really amazing!
[It is worthy of being the pillar of Cao Wei's side in history, and he is not inferior to Zhuge Liang's national soldiers......]
Zhang Huang was convinced and praised secretly from the bottom of his heart.
As soon as Mother Xu and the four of them left, the room suddenly became silent, Xu Fu was silent and did not speak, thinking about the scene in his eyes.
After a long time, Xu Fu asked in a low voice, "You...... When did you find an errand for your mother? β
Xun Yu thought for a while, and said slowly, "That day, you fell out with the sixth uncle and left the academy in a rage...... At that time, Yu Jian Lingtang was alone at home. Thinking that life may be embarrassing, so ......"
"Those clothes hanging outside?"
"Yes......"
"......" Xu Fu was silent, of course he knew that no matter how he washed and dried clothes, he would not be able to earn ten taels of silver a month. Not to mention that there was enough rice for her mother to eat. You must know that these ten taels are not the official silver that Li Tong ate to satisfy his hunger, which is no different from waste paper, it is the local silver ticket of the Yingchuan Xun family, which says ten taels is ten taels, and there is no possibility of depreciation. There is only one explanation for this, Xun Yu is looking at the feelings of the past bureaucrats and taking care of Xu's mother on his behalf.
"What's the matter with me?" Xu Fu did not use the self-title of 'Xiaosheng' this time, and it is not difficult to see from this that his mood at the moment is very complicated.
"Looking for you? It's just in time! Xun Yu chuckled. Immediately, the smile on his face retracted, and he looked at Xu Fu Zhengse and said, "Yuan Zhi." Come back! β
"Impossible!" Xu Fu categorically rejected Xun Yu's invitation and said coldly, "I said when I left that it would be impossible to return to the academy in the future!" β
"You...... Alas! Xun Yu let out a long sigh when he heard this. Asked with a frown. "Is it because of my sixth uncle? β¦β¦ Did you know that you were one of his most important students? Do you know that after you left, Uncle Six stood in the corridor for three whole days, standing in a daze in the place where he quarreled with you that day? β
Xu Fu's face was slightly moved, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "The Tao is not the same!" β¦β¦ Xun Ciming cherishes his reputation more than a qiΔ. There is no talent to learn, but he does not want to contribute to the world. Say what the court is dark. He alone can pull back ...... If you haven't done it yet, how can you say that it won't work? He just cherishes his reputation, for fear of being poked in the backbone and scolded him for doing nothing after taking the throne! β
"You ......" Xun Yu frowned, his face flashed with displeasure, and he patiently persuaded, "But what the sixth uncle said is right, now that his relatives are in power, and there are ten permanent servants and other treacherous evils, the clear stream in the DPRK can only protect itself, how can we talk about reviving the dynasty?" β¦β¦ Yuan Zhi, listen to Yu's persuasion, in the current situation, we should bend down and guard our points, and wait for the time, not to fight with fate! In the future, when the court is clear, we will have the opportunity to realize our ambitions! β
"Humph!" Xu Fu snorted coldly when he heard this, looked at Xun Yu and said disdainfully, "It's this set of rhetoric again...... You guys are not even as good as Xu Zhao! β
"Xu Zhao?" Xun Yu's face was puzzled, and after Xu Shu's simple explanation, his face was full of anger, and he scolded, "The thief of that country is also!" Why is Yuan Zhi so insulted? β
"Insults?" Xu Fu sneered and said, "Although he is a thief, Xu Zhao at least dares to be the world's dare not do, and raise an army to resist the dim court in a county, who dares before this?" β¦β¦ And you guys, who claim to be the country's heroes, are at this time, at the darkest time in the court and even in the world, Mingzhe protects himself...... Hey! Xu Fu is not talented, he is willing to use the blood in his heart and the sword in his hand to split a bright world for the world! β
Xun Yu was moved by the words when he heard this, let out a long breath, shook his head and said, "Yuan Zhizhi's ambition is to be convinced." β¦β¦ Ran Yuanzhi's approach, in Yu's opinion, is just a husband's ambition! Do you think that just a few of you and a few swords can change the whole situation? As he spoke, he glanced at Zhang Huang intentionally or unintentionally.
Zhang Huang obviously did not intend to get involved in the argument between Xu Fu and Xun Yu, after all, he could see that Xun Yu was also well-intentioned, so he stood up and pretended to look inside the room to show that he would not intervene in the two.
"Why can't it? At least I'm doing it, and as long as I'm doing it, it's possible...... It's better than staying in the academy one by one and talking ridiculously about the situation in the world, right? Xu Fu was slightly excited.
Xun Yu was silent for a moment, and said quietly, "Self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country and leveling the world...... If you calm down and specialize in learning, and one day you will be assisted by the Lord, will it not be better than if you have only a few men and a few swords now? β
"What if you don't meet the Lord? Is it not like Brother Feng Xiao, who complains so much every day before getting drunk and flowers? β
"This sentence Yu has to tell SΓΉ Fengxiao ......" Xun Yu's little joke made Xu Fu stammer, and then said in a deep voice, "Yuan Zhi doesn't have to worry about this, Yu has already inquired around." β
"Thanks, but not necessarily." Xu Fu sneered, and then said in a deep voice, "I...... I've found someone to follow! β
"......" Xun Yu's face was full of astonishment when he heard this, and he subconsciously looked at Zhang Huang, who was avoiding the argument between the two of them, and sighed for a long time, "Since Yuan Zhi has made up his mind, Yu is not easy to persuade again, but Yu still has to say something...... A few of you alone can't change the overall situation of the world! β
"It's man-made!"
Xun Yu sighed and shook his head, and said, "Okay! However, Yu still hopes that you can go back to the academy, even if it is only for a few days......"
"I said ......"
Interrupting Xu Fu's words with a wave of his hand, Xun Yu said with a smile, "Yuan Zhi, you don't want Yu to reveal the truth to Aunt Xu, right?" β
Xu Fu's voice suddenly stopped, and he looked at Xun Yu through gritted teeth.
It didn't take long for Mother Xu to come back with Li Tong and others, bringing quite a sumptuous meal of wine and food. But perhaps because of Xun Yu's relationship, Xu Fu's interest was not high.
After dinner, when Xu's mother was satisfied with her son's cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Xun Yu said goodbye to Xu's mother.
"Fu'er, when you go back to the academy, you have to study hard."
"Yes, mother, that ...... The child will come to see you in a few days......" Xu Fu didn't dare to have the slightest disobedience in front of his mother, and respectfully agreed.
"What's there to see? If you have a mother at home, you can study with peace of mind...... Wen Ruo, this is the dirty laundry you brought last time, and I have washed them all my aunt. After admonishing her son, Mother Xu handed over a large bag of washed clothes to Xun Yu.
"There's Aunt Lao." Xun Yu respectfully accepted it, and then led Zhang Huang and the others to the carriage he parked outside the courtyard of Xu Fu's house.
"Get in the car." Xun Yu looked at Xu Fu with a look of sorrow on his face, and said in a low voice, "If Yuanzhi escapes halfway, Yu will return here immediately......"
"......" Xu Fu pointed his finger at Xun Yu and nodded a few times, but finally he was not defeated by Xun Yu's 'threat', and boarded the carriage angrily.
Seeing this, Xun Yu turned back to Zhang Huang and the others, "A few people are also invited." β
Li Tong and the others stepped into the carriage one after another, but Xun Yu, as the owner, did not get into the carriage, but put the bag of clothes in the corner of the carriage, and then took out another bag of clothes. Moreover, Zhang Huang found many bags of clothes piled up in the corner of the carriage.
[What is he doing here?] ]
Zhang Huang poked his head out of the car window and looked at Xun Yu suspiciously.
Then, what made Zhang Huang stunned happened, only to see Xun Yu take the other bag of clothes to the place where no one was, grab a handful of soil from the corner of a house, smear it on those clothes, and then it became a mess, and walked into the courtyard of the Xu family again.
"Aunt Xu, look at Yu's memory, I almost forgot it...... This is this time. β
"Okay, if you put it here, I'll ......wash it when I go back to my aunt."
"Don't rush, don't rush...... It's freezing these days, and it's not convenient to go back and forth, so you can't wait until a month later, so you can take your time. β
"Okay, okay...... Wen Ruo, remember to discipline my son well for my aunt......"
"Auntie, don't worry, Yu can save it."
Looking at Xu Mu and Xun Yu talking in the courtyard through the fence wall, Zhang Huang looked at Xun Yu again with admiration in his eyes.
[Xun Yu, Xun Wenruo, really worthy of being a humble gentleman of virtue! ] β¦β¦ A little bit of a black belly, though? ]
Glancing at the sullen Xu Fu in the carriage, Zhang Huang felt a little funny. (To be continued......)
