Xu's father was finally persuaded to stay at home for breakfast.

When Mother Xu got up and went outside for a walk, she saw the old man sitting bored in the flower hall waiting for dinner.

The husband and wife went through the farce of the day of the "tea ceremony", and they were tired of each other for the past two days. They are still acting when the children are present, but there are no children...... Who cares which onion you are.

Father Xu saw Mother Xu snorting and walked over from the door of the flower hall, and wanted to jump angrily, "Look at her like this, what kind of body she has become." Does she still have a little bit of femininity? This is not a nose for me all day, and the eyes are not eyes. I didn't know that I thought she was the serious lady of this family, and I was the son-in-law who was angry with me. ”

Wang Kui: ...... If that's what you think, there's nothing I can't do.

Wang Kui's heart was bitter, and Wang Kui didn't dare to say it.

Both of them are the big heads in this house, and even if there are more of them, it is not something that his moths can blame.

The most important thing for people at the moment is to live a long time and be valued by the main family, and the most important thing is to pretend to be deaf and dumb and be informed and interesting. He did a good job in this regard, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to eat, drink and enjoy himself with the master for a lifetime.

Wang Kui's "alas" should be, not to say one more word. Father Xu was successfully disgusted by him, so he simply kicked him, and then sat down and sulked.

Fortunately, breakfast was served quickly, and Father Xu just cared about filling his stomach and hurriedly went out to collect the bets, so he didn't get angry with Wang Kui, the minion.

He didn't have an appetite at first, but this wonton noodles were really refreshing and delicious, and Father Xu couldn't help but add some after eating a bowl. When he was full of food and drink, he put down his chopsticks and greeted Wang Kui with satisfaction, "Let's go, go out and collect the house." ”

Father Xu was full of spirits, his face was red, and he had already figured out how to open the house in his hands and how he would manage it.

If you rent it out, you can earn a few hundred taels of silver a year, and the money comes too slowly, which is not cost-effective. If you sell it, you can buy a few shops - a few old friends I met last time introduced him to a good business, but unfortunately he had little money at that time, so he said that he would consider considering it and declined. Now I can think about it again, and if it is suitable, I can open two such shops.

Father Xu has now dreamed that the shop is making money every day, the business is prosperous, and the customers are pouring in, and he has become a hen that everyone is envious of and can lay golden eggs.

He was so generous that he could casually take out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to buy a five-entry mansion for each of his grandchildren, and his son would live by looking at him......

"Sir, look, is that person an official of the Ministry of Officials?"

Xu's father was thinking about it when he was suddenly interrupted by Wang Kui. Realizing that it was all his imagination just now, Father Xu was immediately annoyed, "What is the dog slave calling blindly, and then I startled the master, the master chopped you up and fed it to the dog." ”

"Oh lord, the slave has this old bone, and the meat is all firewood, even if you feed the dog, you don't like it. Master, don't talk about the old slave, let's see if the official who was brought over is the right servant of the ministry? The minion's eyes are not very good, but when he looks at that person, he feels familiar, do you say that is the right squire himself? ”

The right attendant of the ministry also has some reputation in the capital, and it is a famous flower, especially fond of beauties. It is said that when he got married, he specified that he wanted to marry a wife. He didn't care about his wife's background, but if his wife's color was not up to par, then no matter how virtuous this person was, he didn't want it. Sure enough, after that, the right attendant married a famous beauty in the capital, but this was not enough, and then he accepted dozens of concubines in a few decades. There are twenty or thirty concubines in his mansion alone, not to mention those nameless maids and the like.

This person is really flowery, but he is also ridiculous in women, and the rest of the dirty things are not touched, and he is slippery and quite capable of means, so he sits very firmly in the position of the right waiter. Even if someone wants to catch his pigtails, they have a feeling that they can't do it, which is also convincing.

The reason why Wang Kui knew this right waiter was because he was too famous in the capital. Father Xu himself was distracted, and his health was not good, and he did not delay him to find flowers and ask willows. Everyone is a fellow believer, and it is inevitable that someone will mention the right waiter, and then many people will envy him.

Father Xu and Wang Kui were in this situation, and they were pointed at the right waiter twice. But just these two times, because they admired each other too much, the two also remembered the appearance of the right waiter clearly.

Father Xu saw clearly that it was the right waiter who was attracted by the little servant, and immediately trembled with excitement. Father Xu didn't know the word "idol", but his gaffe at this moment was not much different from the fans who saw the idol.

But in the end, the person was still awake, so soon Xu's father realized something.

Saburo has a fearless attitude, and there is the arrival of the right attendant today......

The duck he got in his hands flew!

Father Xu didn't know whether to be happy or worried for a while.

The son is out of breath, rising step by step, the door of the Xu family is getting taller and bigger, his long-cherished wish for decades has been realized, and he should have happily gone to give his ancestors a few sticks of incense. But when he thought of the house, shop, silver, beautiful flowers, and the envy and compliments of the world that were about to arrive, Father Xu couldn't help but want to shed tears of vicissitudes.

Father Xu wanted to scold at this time: The sky is unfair!

Why should Saburo get what he wants, but not let him make money every day? Why can't you have both fish and bear's paws? Why is that?

The right waiter soon arrived, and Father Xu showed an expression that seemed to laugh and cry. Seeing this, the right attendant was still a little surprised, and then he was a little surprised.

I've heard before that Lord Xu's father seems to have had a stroke, and he said that he was recovering well, but there was an exaggeration in his words.

You see, the expression on this face is uncontrollable, and the hands and feet are trembling, where does this look like a healthy person?

The right attendant turned a thousand times, but his face did not leak. He warmly complimented Xu's father very warmly, and then explained his intentions.

As Xu's father expected, San Lang was promoted to a guerrilla general of the fifth grade.

At this time, Xu Erlang and San Lang, who heard the news, also came over quickly. The two brothers met at the gate of the second courtyard and came here together.

Xu Chong couldn't help but mutter, "It's the right waiter who came, and it's not the official secretary at the same level as the second brother, so there's no need for the second brother to come forward to entertain him in person." ”

Xu Chong's promotion naturally did not need the Ministry of Rites to personally send him a letter of transfer, and he was also promoted to the role of letting the Ministry of Officials solemnly wait. However, the official position of the right attendant of the Ministry is not low, it is second only to Shangshu from the second grade, Xu Erlang solemnly came to entertain guests in person, which is the proper meaning.

At that time, he glanced at San Lang, "In officialdom, even if you can't make friends, it's best not to make enemies." ”

Xu Chong's scalp was numb and he was preached by his own brother, and he regretted that he talked too much.

He said that he really pouted, but in fact, he also knew the severity in his heart. He was addicted, but he was caught preaching by the second brother, which was a bit wronged.

The two entered the flower hall, and when the right attendant of the ministry saw Xu Erlang, he quickly got up and saluted, "Lord Governor." ”

Xu Erlang replied with a half-salute and said, "I'm tired of the waiter, and I'll run it myself." ”

The two politely exchanged words for a long time before they got to the point.

Xu Chong used to be a sixth-rank official, but now he has been promoted to two levels and has become a guerrilla general of the fifth-grade.

It seems like a lot to be promoted by two levels, but it is not enough to see that he is more than three levels higher than his second brother. Besides, Xu Chong has not been promoted for many years, his qualifications and military merits are there, and he didn't get promoted before, I don't know if someone above deliberately pressed it, or Xu Chong didn't mention it for other reasons.

Anyway, he has qualifications, and the number of enemies he has killed is enough to intimidate, and his military achievements are great. This can be regarded as accumulation, this official position is promoted, anyway, there is no room for others to beak.

The servant of the ministry personally came to deliver the transfer letter, so someone must be left for dinner this morning.

Jin Niang didn't prepare in advance, and when she received the letter, she simply asked people to go directly to the restaurant outside to book a good banquet, and by the way, she brought an urgent pot of wine.

With Xu Erlang and San Lang personally accompanied, this scene is enough. Anyway, in the end, when the right attendant of the ministry left the Xu Mansion, the whole person was drunk and dizzy, and he walked floating. And his attitude towards Xu Erlang is not to mention how affectionate he is, even towards Xu Chong, and he is also a virtuous brother. The affectionate, those who don't know think they are long-lost brothers.

After sending people out of the door, the brothers returned to Heyantang. At this time, Xu Mu went to the Buddha Hall to recite the scriptures to the Bodhisattva. She felt that Saburo had such an opportunity, although his own efforts accounted for the vast majority of the credit, but there must also be a role in the blessing of the Bodhisattva.

Mother Xu believes in Buddhism, and all good things rely on the Buddha. If you have nothing to do, you have to go to the Buddha hall to read a few scriptures and pick up the Buddha for a while. Now that the toddler who worries her the most has also become an official in the stream, is she not happy? So I guess I have to contribute the rest of the time to the Buddha today.

Xu's father......

Father Xu's face is not too good-looking.

Be reasonable, change any father, and be so fooled by his son, then he won't be happy.

Father Xu did not stay in the flower hall to entertain guests, when Xu Chong and Xu Erlang stayed in the flower hall to entertain the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials, Xu's father pondered about Xu Chong's promotion in the room.

The more he pondered it, the more he felt that there was something strange in it, and the more he pondered it, the more he felt that he had been fooled by the unfilial son Xu Chong.

Otherwise, from where to explain this "coincidence"?

Oh, he went to collect the house today, and the right waiter came to deliver San Lang's transfer letter. One day earlier or one day later, Father Xu would not be so angry, but it was such a coincidence, it was to extinguish the fire of desire in his heart, how could Father Xu not hate.

If he had learned about this a day earlier, the house would not have been in hand, and he would not have been so annoyed. If it is a day late, he will definitely make a move on the house, even if the unfilial son is promoted and wins the gambling contract, he can also mess around and say that he will not wait.

But it's such a coincidence, him, that's such a coincidence.

If there is no unfilial son's handwriting, Father Xu can pull his head off and kick it as a ball. But he was sure that this was the unfilial son who deliberately buried him and set him up.

Father Xu was so annoyed, his annoyed heart was on fire, and he couldn't suppress the anger on his body after drinking three cups of sour plum soup.

Wang Kui watched from the side and beat the drum in his heart, the master's body was in tatters, it was like a sieve with thousands of holes, and he was usually worried about something going wrong with careful maintenance. Today is good, first with great joy, then with great anger. Joy and anger hurt the body, not to mention that the old man was still stubborn to drink ice sour plum soup...... What's going on? If the old man is really sick at night and can't get up, will he still be alive?

Just when Wang Kui was thinking of a way to protect himself, Xu Erlang and Xu Chong sent the guests back. Father Xu waited for the two boys to come in to see him, but the two boys went to see their mother first.

Okay, he'll bear with it.

Then, at last, the two boys entered his door.

Father Xu couldn't suppress it anymore, so he directly picked up a boot and smashed it on Xu Chong's body.

Xu Erlang avoided it quickly, and Xu Chong was not far behind.

Now that the daughter-in-law is not around, no one cares if the bitter meat is tricked. He cherishes his body so that he won't let his father smash it.

It doesn't hurt, but it hurts face.

Xu Chong's sensitive sideways ...... I didn't go sideways.

When the boots fell on his body, Xu Chong looked at the second brother who held him in disbelief, "Second brother, I am your own brother." ”

Xu Erlang said indifferently, "That's also your father." ”

The subconscious meaning is very clear, you fooled him, let him smash his anger, and you flattened it.

Xu Chong's eyes widened, and he was suddenly convinced. Okay, who made you high in kung fu, who made you prestigious, you are the boss, what do you say.

Xu Chong was smashed to the chest by a boot and felt very aggrieved, but Xu's father didn't feel angry, so he tore off the other boot and threw his son.

Xu Chong couldn't bear it anymore, "Old man, you just want to do it." Your son is also a five-grade official now, and he will be embarrassed when he goes out. It's true that you are my son, but you beat the court officials and let the imperial history know, and the imperial history will not care that you are my father and let you go. ”

Xu's father was even more ruthless, "Bastard, I'm beating you." also used the court law and imperial history to press your father, you are really scared to be your father. Let me tell you, he is the emperor Lao Tzu who came, and Lao Tzu did not make mistakes. ”

Xu's father searched around the house for things, and then saw his crutches again. He picked it up and was about to be executed, but at this moment, Xu Erlang had already let go of Xu Chong, so San Lang would not be stupid to stand in place and let his father beat him, and he jumped out of the house like a rabbit.

Then he stood outside and said to Xu's father, "Dad, you are my father, my father." You said that you were going to clean me up at both ends in the past three days, did I give birth to me, or did I pick it up from outside? Alas, the sons have also married daughters-in-law, and the sons are shameless? Dad, I know that I have become a positive five-grade now, and you are happy in your heart, and you want to do something to vent. Then you can take out your private money and give two months' monthly money to each person in the house. This is so festive, and it can also make the big guys follow suit. It's useless for you to beat me, what's the use of it except for hurting yourself. ”

"Alas, I've said everything I need to say, Dad, I'll go back and give good news to my daughter-in-law. Dad, if you are really happy and can't sit still, you can give your ancestors a few sticks of incense and report the good news. ”

After finishing speaking, he ran outside Heyan Hall, and then suddenly remembered something, and turned around and yelled, "Don't think about that house, it's my dowry for my daughter-in-law, what's the matter with you taking it back?" I think the plaque hanging Chen Mansion is quite compatible with the temperament of the house, if you don't like it, you will go to Mao'er Hutong less in the future. ”
