The Marquis of Zhenyu had already confessed, before Wei Guogong returned to Nanjing, no matter who met Xu Xiaogong, he had to "open the net", and this account would naturally have to wait until Wei Guogong came back to settle it together. Therefore, Zhao Amao is reasonable, neither too polite, nor a trace of stammering. It was only for the patrolling soldiers to disperse the crowd, and for most of the hour, the streets and alleys that were flooded gradually returned to calm. Seeing the crowd of onlookers gradually disperse, Xu Wenjue's face returned to blood.

"You, are you really no longer embarrassed, embarrassed by this little grandfather?"

Zhao Amao said with a smile: "Little Grandpa Xu is himself, I still have official business, I have to patrol the city, now the market is not peaceful, little grandpa is still less good to wander on the street!" ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Amao blew the whistle in his mouth, and dozens of soldiers of the Three Guards lined up and walked away with neat steps, and it was only then that Xu Wenjue seemed to have returned to his soul, and spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm at their backs.

"What's rampant? Sooner or later, I want you to kneel in front of this little grandfather and beg for mercy! ”

Having said that, Xu Wenjue was worried about giving gifts to Jiang Yueguang's mansion, but now the old ginseng in his hand has been completely destroyed, and he is so embarrassed without gifts, how can he come to the door empty-handed?

Xu Wenjue had no choice but to go home first, and he always had to ponder an unexpected rare object to conquer this old man for his own use.

Unexpectedly, after returning home, Xu Wenjue had a high fever, and the matter of giving gifts to Jiang Yueguang's mansion was delayed.

Early the next morning, Xu Wenjue once again made the headlines of the "Bulletin", ignoring the wartime orders, galloping on horseback, clashing head-on with the Three Guards, and finally relying on his own identity to leave. For a while, it made public opinion in the city boil to the extreme. People have obeyed the order, why did Xu Wenjue dare to make an exception? Could it be that it is by virtue of Wei Guogong's father?

There are not a few nobles in the city, and how many of them dare to be so obedient and gallop on horseback? However, it was really because of the prestige of Wei Guogong, no one dared to stand up and openly accuse him, so he could only exchange a few words in private, and then sighed. It is said that Grandpa Xu is the rhythm of death.

Xu Wenjue was sick for three days in a row, but he didn't see any former fox friends come to visit him. At first, he thought that the old housekeeper was afraid that the gang would disturb his recuperation, so he blocked back. So, Xu Wenjue called the old housekeeper to explain: "In the future, don't stop anyone who comes to visit me, I am nothing at all, it's okay, it's okay!" When Daddy comes back, he'll be alive again! ”

As he spoke, Xu Wenjue symbolically raised his leg again to show that he was really fine. The old housekeeper was also overjoyed to see that the little grandfather was fine, but he still felt strange about Xu Wenjue's words.

"The old servant has never stopped the old man who comes to visit? Did the little grandfather hear it wrong? ”

Xu Wenjue was surprised: "No one came to visit the patient? Not a single one? ”

"No, not one!" The old butler's expression was very affirmative.

Xu Wenjue suddenly became angry and threw the pillows and quilts on the couch to the ground.

"These people who have no conscience show their loyalty in front of Lao Tzu on weekdays, but now it's good, Lao Tzu has only been in bed for three days, where is their loyalty? Come, help me up! ”

The little grandfather suddenly went crazy, and the old housekeeper's heart hung again, and he couldn't help but comfort him bitterly: "The little grandfather didn't hurt his leg, Lang Zhong said that the little grandfather's leg was not good to raise, yes, there is a danger of lameness?" ”

"What? Cripple? ”

The old housekeeper's words really worked, and Xu Wenjue's mind immediately appeared that he was limping, and the fox friends around him covered their mouths and laughed, obviously laughing at themselves for becoming cripples. Xu Wenjue shuddered sharply, and suddenly stopped, although he was angry that those people had no shadow at the critical moment, but he was always most concerned about his own image, if he became a cripple, how would he see people in the future? I'm afraid that I won't even be able to inherit my father's title.

With the words of the old housekeeper in front, Xu Wenjue's attitude towards the injured leg also changed, and he carefully wanted to bring back the injured leg that was supported outside the couch. Several maids rushed up to help, but he drove them away one by one.

"Go aside, you clumsy people, what if you move the legs of this little grandfather, I'll do it myself!"

At this time, Xu Wenjue didn't believe anyone, only himself.

A family member ran in and said that the son of the city's wealthy man needed Yongji to visit. This person is one of Xu Wenjue's fox friends and dogs, and he is also the most generous and righteous. Xu Wenjue was immediately overjoyed, "Quick!" Bring me in! ”

After a while, Xu Yongji entered the door under the guidance of Jiading, and went around the screen to the couch in the inner room.

Xu Wenjue didn't get up, just leaned on the couch, and said to him with great relief: "You are still a brother, you are particular, I don't want those who have no conscience, I heard that this little grandfather was injured, and I didn't even look at it." ”

Xu Yongji was a little cramped in front of Xu Wenjue, obviously the status of the two people was different, but because they were used to eating, drinking and having fun together, they always had a good relationship, and he excused others a few words.

"In the past few days, they have all been under house arrest at home by their own adults, and they are all involuntarily, don't blame them!"

After listening to Xu Yongji's explanation, Xu Wenjue felt that it was reasonable, and half of the anger in his heart had already disappeared.

"Or brother, you are particular, you haven't fought crickets for a few days, did you take that general with you, let's kill a good game!" At the same time, Xu Wenjue ordered the maids around him to bring his Lanling King, he wanted to kill the Quartet to relieve the pain of boredom in the past few days.

The old housekeeper felt embarrassed on the side, so he was about to retire, but before he could speak, Xu Yongji spoke first.

"Little grandfather, villain, villain didn't come with crickets this time......"

"Didn't bring it?" Xu Wenjue's face immediately showed a look of disappointment, he quickly noticed the unnaturalness on Xu Yongji's face, and saw that he had spoken in a slurred manner, and he was displeased.

"If you have something to say, let it go if you have a fart, like a!"

Xu Yongji replied with an embarrassed face: "Recently, my father's business turnover has not been good, I don't know, I don't know, does the little grandfather have a lot of money?" The money that was given to you half a year ago is just due and can be used for emergency ......"

Before these words landed, the smile on Xu Wenjue's face froze as if it had suddenly been petrified. He thought that Xu Yongji was coming to visit his psychological side and sighed, it was really a good grass, and he saw the hearts of the people for a long time, it seems that only the son of this businessman is the most affectionate, who said that businessmen are all heavy on profit and light on parting?

But after a long time, this Xu Yongji turned out to be here to collect debts, which made Xu Wenjue feel that his throat was dry, and he called the maid to bring tea. Xu Yongji, who was harmed, was startled, thinking that Xu Wenjue was going to serve tea to the guests, and beads of sweat the size of beans had rolled off his head.

"Little grandfather, it's not that the villain is urging you to be urgent, it's really my father's business that has reached a critical point, otherwise the villain will definitely not come to open this mouth to the little grandpa!"

This sentence also blocked back the coping words brewing in Xu Wenjue's stomach, half a year ago he borrowed 30,000 taels of silver from the son of this rich merchant, half of which was used for squandering, and this Xu Yongji in front of him did not lack to eat it and drink him. Of course, these words can't be said explicitly, and there is also the other half of him who is also released as principal, wanting to make some usury to earn some pocket money. In addition to a thousand taels of silver in Xu Wenjue's hands now, how can there be 30,000 taels to plug this hole?

The Xu family has properties in Jiangnan, but those are in the hands of Wei Guogong, although Xu Wenjue is the eldest son of the family, he has no right to dispose of the property, where will he go to get these silvers for a while?

At this time, Xu Wenjue suddenly thought of crushing the two old ginseng yesterday, if it was offset, it would not be 30,000 taels of silver, but it was a pity that this damn Xu Yongji didn't come to collect debts yesterday, but came over today.

When he was scratching his ears and cheeks, Xu Wenjue looked up and saw the old housekeeper with a face full of hatred for iron and steel, and said in his heart that he knew about this, and his father must know sooner or later, why didn't he think of driving him away first and then talking to this Xu Yongji just now.

The old butler seemed to read his consciousness from Xu Wenjue's eyes, and said a word of guilt in a rather dissatisfied tone, turned around and strode away. Before going out, a cloudy old tear rolled out of his dry eye sockets, and his hot face was hot and painful.

"I said, brother of this family, you give me a few more days, there is indeed not so much cash in the house now, and when it is ready, it will be sent to the house in person."

What he said was vague, he didn't say a date or period, and he didn't say where to get the money, Xu Yongji was determined to get it here, and how could he be easily fooled.

"Little grandpa, when I borrowed money, it was written clearly in black and white, and the principal and interest were paid off after half a year, 30,000 taels of silver is not a decimal number, if there is no way, why should the villain bother the little grandpa? Now that the little grandfather has spoken, he will waive half a year's interest, and only need to pay the principal? ”

In today's borrowing money, it has always been to pay the interest on the loan period in cash, although the interest agreed with Xu Yongji was not high, but he still sold face and allowed Xu Wenjue to pay off the principal and interest after it expired.

However, it was this common bargaining sentence that annoyed Xu Wenjue. On weekdays, Xu Yongji nodded in front of him, shook his head and waged his tail, how could he ever use today's tone to compare with himself? What is this for yourself? Can't afford to pay for the show? He is a public palace general who has enjoyed more than 200 years of prestige! A feeling of being insulted came over me.

Xu Wenjue's little grandfather's temper immediately exploded, what money is not money, if his father is still in Nanjing, just rely on you Xu Yongji to dare to come to the door to ask for money, it is really upside down.

"How can this little grandfather's words never count? Don't make any more noise, you go back first, and when the principal and interest are enough, you will naturally be repaid together, and there will be no less money! ”
