dared to kill Xia Gu and his wife, and said such threatening words to the Lu family, he was really the same as the second child, they were all unreasonable Diao people, but what happened to the second child in the end?

Buried in the ground, gnawed by insects, there are no bones.

Knock knock~

There was a soft knock on the door, and Steward Lu said outside: "Second old lady, dinner has been prepared for you, will the slave bring it in for you, or will it be served later?" ”

After receiving the letter from Master Fang and Hu Guanzhu, the second old lady hid in the house, it had been an afternoon, and it was dark outside and had not come out.

However, Steward Lu was not worried, but could understand the second old lady's mood very well, after all, the letter sent was about the little masters, and the second old lady, his own grandfather, was naturally reluctant to put it down after reading the letter.

Second Old Lady Lu said, "Come in." ”

After staying in the house for a long time, he was also hungry.

"Huh." Steward Lu responded, pushed the door and entered, followed by six maids carrying food boxes.

The maids took out the tandoor smoothly, put charcoal fires in the six tandoors, and then took out the dishes and simmered on the tandoor. With such a meal, no matter how long the old lady Lu eats, the food is always hot, so that it will not be cold in the middle of eating.

After the maids set up the meal, Steward Lu came over and asked the second old lady Lu: "Please eat, and then continue to watch when you are finished." ”

He smiled a little lovingly and said, his eyes fell on the letter held by the second old lady Lu: "Every time the news of a few little masters comes, you always have to look at it for a long time, and you are worthy of being your grandfather." ”

The second old lady Lu folded the letter with a smile and put it in the brocade box on the side, which contained many letters, all of which were sent by Hu Guanzhu, and they were all about those children.

Steward Lu is right, he is now the grandfather of several children......

……

In a courtyard in Jinling Mansion, Zhan San listened to the steward's reply, and his handsome face turned white with fright: "Really, it's true?" How could Uncle Xia be such a person?! ”

When Xia Gu's news reached Jinning Mansion, the uncle and they couldn't believe it at all, but the second brother was still sick, and the uncle wanted to stay in Jinning's hometown to take care of the second brother, so he could only send him.

But Uncle Xia's incident was too big, Zhan Sansheng was afraid that Uncle Xia's matter would really implicate the Zhan family, so he didn't show up after coming to Jinling Mansion, but hid in the Zhan family's courtyard and waited for the news.

How did you know that you were waiting for such bad news?

Zhan San slammed, sat on the soft couch, and said, "How can it be true?" That's Xia Gu. ”

The steward of the other courtyard said: "The old slave can't believe that this is true, but Xia Erye and Xia Sanye personally took off their clothes to show those literati, and there really is no good meat on their bodies." The old slave was afraid that the rumors were wrong, so he also asked the doctor who showed Xia Erye Xia Sanye the old wound for questioning, and the doctor's rhetoric was similar to the rumors, saying that the wound was half an inch deep, and the hole wound on the body had been added for thirty years. ”

"Thirty years of adding?" Zhan San was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, he didn't expect Xia Gu to be such a person, his uncle also took them to see Xia Gu, what if Xia Gu wanted to abuse them?

"Go on." After Zhan San was afraid, he instructed the steward.

"Yes." The steward of the other courtyard continued to talk about the Xia family.

Speaking of Xia Gu's misery after his death, and when there were not many people to pay tribute after building a mourning hall, Zhan San sighed: "If it weren't for the fear of affecting the reputation of the Zhan family, I would definitely have to give him a ride, after all, I called him an uncle for so many years." ”

The steward of the other courtyard scoffed when he heard this, this third master was really sinister, and he didn't say this until the Xia family helped the coffin away, the second master was much stronger than him.

If the second master was here, he would definitely ignore the scolding of others, and ran to incense Xia Gu and send him on his last journey.

However, the steward of the other courtyard was just a subordinate, so he didn't say this, but said: "Third master, don't worry, the old slave has already asked a porter to pretend to be a literati and go to incense for the Zhan family, which can be regarded as a ride for Xia Gu." ”

Zhan San praised after hearing this: "Well done, go to the account room to receive a reward of twenty taels of silver." ”

The steward of the other courtyard was very happy, and hurriedly knelt down to thank him: "Old slave, thank you Third Master." ”

Zhan San waved his hand, let the steward get up, and said, "Put the carriage on your back, I want to go home immediately, my uncle is still waiting for news at home." ”

"Yes." The steward of the other courtyard hurriedly called someone to prepare the carriage, and after working for half an hour, Zhan San took his personal servant and left in the carriage.

rushed back to Jinning Mansion day and night, and as soon as he entered the house, he was caught by Master Zhan San and asked, "How is Brother Changyuan?" I heard from the people who came back from Jinling that Brother Changyuan committed suicide by swallowing medicine after poisoning his sister-in-law, but is it true? ”

Some literati in Jinning Mansion came back earlier than Zhan San, and they had already spread the news of Xia Gu. After Master Zhan San heard about it, he was very anxious, and wanted to make poems to scold these people, but he was afraid that the rumors were true, and in the end, the entire Zhan family would be laughed at.

And because of his relationship with Xia Gu, in the past few days, literati have come to the door of Zhan's mansion to scold angrily, and he doesn't even dare to go out of his house.

Zhan San nodded: "The rumors are true." ”

He told Master Zhan San about the Xia family.

After hearing this, Master Zhan San almost fell to the ground: "Really, it's true, Na Lu ......"

The affairs of the Lu family are still unspeakable, but Master Zhan San stopped in time.

Zhan San was not stupid, and when he saw this, he asked, "What does Uncle want to say?" ”

"It's nothing, you've worked hard this time, let's go back and rest first, don't go out recently, if someone asks about it, you just say that our family and Xia Gu only know each other, and the relationship is not deep." Master Zhan San explained, hurriedly went to Zhan Er's courtyard, and told him about the Xia family.

Zhan Er was still sick and needed to stay in bed to recuperate for a few months, and when he heard that the matter of the Xia family was true, he was so anxious that he grabbed Zhan San's hand and said, "Uncle, Uncle Xia is dead, what about the marriage between my nephew and Sister Xiu'er?" Who are you going to talk to about peace? ”

Zhan Er is selfish, although he is sad that Xia Gu is dead, but what he is most worried about is that after the death of Xia Gu and his wife, he has no reason to go to Tianfu County to find Gu Jinxiu.

"Uncle, my nephew wants to marry Sister Xiu, and I have to marry him when I die!" Zhan Er was afraid that the third master Zhan would see that Xia Gu was dead and felt that the identity of the Gu family's daughter was not worthy of him, so he dragged the third master Zhan and said: "Uncle, don't dislike Sister Xiu'er, you can help me, if you can't marry her, my nephew will die, cough cough!" ”

He spoke too quickly, and he was caught in a breath and coughed constantly.

Master Zhan San hurriedly said: "Little Er, don't worry, even if Xia Gu dies, the Gu family's family affairs can be settled." ”

He hopes to marry the Gu family more than Xiao Er, after all, several children of the Gu family are the blood of the Lu family, if it is just because Xia Gu is Cheng Ge'er's husband, he will not let Xiao Er marry the Gu family's daughter.

When Zhan Er heard this, he was overjoyed: "Really? ”

Master Zhan San nodded: "Really, uncle will definitely help you achieve your wish." ”

But he said this too soon, and a man broke into his yard that night.
