Huang's mother said while crying, under the intermittent explanation, Xu Liang understood a rough idea, the night before, when the business was very prosperous, a group of people suddenly broke into the Xinghua Building, holding on to a big knife and a long stick, led by a black-clothed and masked middle-aged man, rushed straight into the backyard of the Xinghua Building, and blocked the pillars on the roof of the Xinghua Building who wanted to jump out of the back window to escape after hearing the news. Originally, there was nothing to do with Huang's mother and Xinghualou, it seems that Lou Xian'er and the middle-aged man should know each other, in Huang's mother's opinion, it is purely a personal grudge. The bad thing is that although Huang's mother can see that people have personal grievances, Huang's mother is unwilling to let go of Lou Xian'er, so she twisted her fat buttocks and stepped forward to ask for two words of love for Lou Xian'er with a smile in front of the middle-aged man who was about to leave.

"This uncle, the fairy girl is the top card in our building, you just like it very much, and you have to pay attention to the mood, the fairy girl is not happy, and the uncle you don't have a good time. Why don't you let the fairy girl go first, and then go and persuade the fairy girl? Huang's mother said.

The middle-aged man turned his head and glanced at Huang's mother, his cold gaze was like a knife, stinging Huang's mother, only to hear the middle-aged man snort coldly: "Top card? Still want to pay attention to the mood? It's all a kiln nest where you guys hide dirt and dirt, and Lao Tzu will go to such great lengths to find the two of them! Come on, tear this dilapidated building down for me! ”

Then in the screams of Huang's mother crying and shouting, Xinghualou's chickens and dogs jumped......

Xu Liang mourned for Huang's mother for a while, and then reluctantly returned to the inn. By this time, the iron head had returned to the inn. Seeing that Xu Liang was back, he thought about it and finally solemnly walked up to Xu Liang as if he had made up his mind, and said, "Young master, I calculated that we don't have much silver on us, but we have to hurry up and go back to Wan'an." Otherwise, I'm going to walk back! ”

Xu Liang closed his eyes, was silent for a while, opened his eyes and asked, "Have you sent anything to Lord Huang's mansion?" ”

Tie Tou said: "It's delivered, I personally handed it over to the housekeeper of the Huang Mansion." ”

Xu Liang paced two steps, paused, sighed, and said, "Let's wait, if there is still no news from Lord Huang by this time tomorrow, then let's pack up our things and go back to Wan'an!" ”

"Good!" Seeing that Xu Liang finally agreed to go back to Wan'an, Tietou was so happy that he jumped three feet high, and went back to the room to collect his things in a hurry.

Xu Liang stood in the small courtyard behind the inn, looking at the gray sky in a daze, but his thoughts couldn't calm down for a long time. Pain, unwillingness, hope, disappointment, nervousness, calmness, all kinds of emotions are intertwined in the brain. Recalling that he hadn't slept for two days in a row before the autumn horse, the cat copied the cheat sheet in the house, and the determination of the dead horse to be a live horse doctor boldly used the words he guessed, but fortunately he was quite lucky, and he was lucky to get a lift. But God, if you gave me hope, why did you make me despair? Except for immediately releasing a petty official as a lifter, I, Xu Liang, have no way out. However, if you want to go out, you have to seize the opportunity and ask for the right person, and Huang Weizhong is the one who should ask for it. Only took advantage of the little incense that was established in front of Huang Weizhong during this time in Nanchang Mansion, and begged him to get an official for himself. Otherwise, when you return to the small county town of Wan'an, even if the county master is your own father, I am afraid that it will be useless.

Xu Liang heard that in the Ming Dynasty, people who wanted to get an errand as a person were a big deal. Some people have been lifting people since their early twenties, and they have not yet taken the turn to become an official and a half-time job until they are almost in their fifties.

If Xu Liang has to wait for more than ten or twenty years, it is better to die again and cross over again.

That night, Xu Liang kept his eyes open until dawn. As the sun gradually came to the middle, Xu Liang's face became more disappointed, and at noon, Xu Liang finally despaired, and in the begging gaze of the iron head, he jumped into the carriage he bought.

Is this going back to Wan'an? Xu Liang looked back at the tall Nanchang City Gate behind him, and said silently in his heart: Farewell, Nanchang......

When Xu Liang's carriage drove out of the Nanchang City Gate, the old lady Xu took nearly 40 people from the Xu Mansion to the avenue of Baijia Town to greet Xu Jiang, Xu Liang and others who had returned from Nanchang Mansion.

Xu Liang won the news of the promotion, and the whole Xu Mansion knew it a few days ago, although Xu Liang was promoted and the eldest young master Xu Jiang, who was pinned on by everyone, fell off the list, but no matter what, two children of the Xu Mansion participated in the Autumn Festival, and one of them was lifted, which is a very remarkable thing.

The magistrate of Wan'an County brought a group of officials who had come to congratulate him three days ago, and the squires and businessmen of ten miles and eight townships also rushed to say goodbye when they heard the news, and hundreds of tables were opened on the flowing water table alone. In the more than 30 years since the establishment of the Xu Mansion in Baijia Town, it is the first time that he has raised his eyebrows so much.

Mrs. Xu is happy, Uncle Xu, and the eldest lady are also very happy, and the second and third rooms of the Xu family, as well as the large and small housekeepers of the Xu Mansion, Ding Yahuan, are also all honored.

In the distance, two carriages appeared on the avenue, and the Xu family flag on the front of the carriage fluttered in the wind. Xu Liang, the head of the Xu family, oh no, it should be the third young master Xu who has returned home!

Old lady Xu led someone to greet him with a smile. Stretching out his hands, he was ready to give his competitive grandson Xu Liang a warm hug.

The first person to jump out of the carriage was the eldest young master Xu Jiang. When he saw such a big welcoming scene, he couldn't help but blush, and whispered to his grandfather, father, and mother, and hung his head and waited to be trained, but when he saw that everyone didn't look at him at all.

When Mrs. Xu saw Xu Jiang getting off the first car, she was even more happy after a while, and secretly said that it was rare for Xu Liang to be so knowledgeable and respectful of Brother Dà, and let the eldest brother Xu Jiang sit in the first carriage.

The smile on Mrs. Xu's face was even stronger, he took everyone around the first carriage, came to the back of the carriage, saw the curtain on the carriage swinging, knew that Xu Liang was going to get off, immediately opened his arms, stepped forward and hugged the person who got off the car, and shouted affectionately: "Liang San'er, it's so good, it's too much for the face of the Xu Mansion, Grandpa I want to thank you on behalf ......of the Xu Mansion."

Old lady Xu suddenly felt that the atmosphere was not right, why was it so quiet behind him, and when he looked back, he saw that everyone behind him was opening their mouths wide, looking at the people who got out of the car blankly.

At this time, the person in the old lady Xu's arms spoke up, and said with a duck-like voice: "Uh, old lady, you are mistaken, the little one is Yang Lin, not the third young master......"

Old lady Xu was so shocked that he let go, his old face turned red, he coughed lightly in embarrassment, stepped forward and pulled the curtain of the carriage, saw that the car was empty, and hurriedly ran to the first car, opened it and saw that the car was also empty. Stunned for the moment, he glared at Xu Jiang and Yang Lin, and asked in a hissed voice, "What, what about Xu Liang?" Didn't he come back with you? ”

Xu Jiang and Yang Lin glanced at each other, and seeing that everyone was looking at him with inquiring eyes, Xu Jiang only felt that his scalp was numb, and he said to the old lady Xu stubbornly: "Third brother, he said...... He won't participate in the exam, and he wants to find Senator Huang to get an errand with Master Huang......"

"What? Monkey business! Old Lady Xu was so angry that his chin and beard trembled, and he saw that forty or fifty people around him were looking at him, some were surprised, some were disappointed, and some were happy. couldn't help but be even more annoyed, raised his eyes and glared at everyone and scolded: "What are you still standing on this avenue for?" The owner hasn't come back! Quickly dispersed, dispersed! ”

In the old lady Xu's room in the courtyard of the Xu Mansion, the old lady Xu sat in the middle, the eldest lady Xu Changkun stood on the side, Xu Jiang and Yang Lin stood in front of the old lady Xu with their heads down, and they didn't dare to come out.

Old lady Xu asked what happened, and was so angry that she swept the table with her right hand, and the teapots, cups, and vases on the table rolled down to the ground, snapping a few times, and shattered into a slag.

The old lady trembled her lips and scolded, "It's just nonsense! It's just that I don't want to go further, get a jinshi, and fight for an orthodox background, but I want to get an errand and be a firewood soap officer! I can't get into the water! ”

The old lady scolded for a while, then glared at the eldest man Xu Changkun standing next to him, pointed at the tip of his nose and scolded: "Look at what kind of material you have in this big house, the big ones are not angry, the small ones are angry, and the brains are not good!" ”

Xu Changkun shrank his neck when he was scolded, and said helplessly: "Dad, Liang San'er has been weak and sick since he was a child, I didn't agree to raise him at the beginning, you have to protect him......"

Bang! Old lady Xu slammed the corner of the table and scolded: "Bastard! You are also the current head of the Xu family, how can you say such irresponsible bastard words! I don't care, you hurry up and go to Nanchang and bring back the more bastard Liang San'er to the old man! ”

Xu Changkun frowned deeply when he heard this, and hesitated: "Dad, I still have a lot of things here!" ”

When Old Lady Xu heard this, she was even more angry, slammed the table into a bang, and roared, "Go immediately!" You are not the only one who is in charge of the Xu Mansion! ”

The eldest lady heard that Xu Changkun was going to pick up Xu Liang in person, and while packing up for Xu Changkun, she said unhappily: "Master, there are so many things in the Xu Mansion, how can you do it when you leave, there are so many people in the Xu Mansion, you can just send someone to go, and you really have to go in person." ”

"Just say a few words." Xu Changkun was frightened by the old lady Xu, listening to the old lady's meaning, if he wants to go this time, this Xu family will not be his turn to be in charge in the future? "This time the old lady is angry, everything has to follow him."

When the eldest lady heard this, she was silent, and said: "Alas, this child who has lacked his mother's education since he was a child is just ignorant, and he can't figure things out. She turned to Xu Jiang who was standing by the door and said, "Jiang'er, you can't be like that Liang San'er in the future, just don't get into the exam, if you are admitted, you can take a long-term view, and feel at ease to fight for the orthodox background of a jinshi." She saw that Xu Jiang was sullen and absent-minded, so she said in an accentuated tone: "Don't take the words of your mother as the wind in your ears, although your mother doesn't understand the great truth of being an official, but my mother knows that in our Ming Dynasty, an orthodox Jinshi identity can benefit you for a lifetime!" ”
