Xu's father did not miss his son's flying yellow and Tengda, and he followed the chicken dog to ascend to heaven. After all, the things in the dream are not illegal, and it doesn't give people a little right to dream.

Of course, at first he had high hopes for his eldest son Xu Ao, but Xu Ao died in battle, so he could only Erlang and Sanlang.

The two brothers are also promising. Especially Erlang, who rose all the way to the third grade. Those who are only thirty years old from the three products, several times the entire court, are also a handful. Not to mention that his son climbed to this position completely on his own, but it is not comparable to those sons of families who rely on the shadow of the family and the protection of their elders.

Father Xu was quite complacent about this.

Who made it his seed? Isn't his seed a good birth, and isn't it glorious for him to be a father?

Not to mention that Xu Yi has today, it is also the result of his death at the beginning. Otherwise, he might still be a soldier in that barracks. Even if he has talent in arranging troops, he doesn't have the right time and place, and it is wishful thinking to become a military general from the third grade. However, on the road to the imperial examination, Xu Yi seems to have been born for these words. easily won the champion, and easily became from the third grade. Now it's even more incredible, he actually jumped three levels and directly became a second-grade master who can dominate a domain!

This is a veritable minister! Heavy-duty ministers! His Majesty's henchmen are here!

Father Xu's hands and feet trembled with excitement, and he couldn't catch Wang Kui handing him tea. He touched the teacup with his fingers, and the teacup flickered, and the green tea in it almost spilled. Fortunately, Wang Kui knew his master's temperament and body, and his hand did not take it back after handing out the tea, so that the tea cup did not spill out.

But it doesn't matter if you splash it out, who cares about these little things now!

The second son of his own family is out, and in the future, when the people of the Xu Mansion go out, everyone will have to take a high look. Whoever wants to bully the people of the Xu Mansion must also re-weigh their own weight.

One person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven, this sentence is by no means a joke. In this world, that is, a person can raise a family, a county, or even a state capital. It is definitely not an exaggeration to expand to the state capital, after all, there are many precedents for courtiers to protect their ancestral land. Therefore, the Xu family can also shelter Pingyang in the future, and even protect Shuozhou - this may have to wait for Xu Erlang to be more powerful, such as when he becomes a member of Zhengyipin. But again, who doesn't have the right to dream? It's not an exaggeration to imagine the future in advance.

The carriage that Xu's father was riding in finally galloped to Xu's mansion and stopped.

At this time, the official who came to deliver the letter had already left, but the matter of Xu Erlang becoming the governor of Liangjiang was also missing, and it spread throughout the capital in an instant.

Thinking that even Xu's father has received the news, those well-informed people must have received the letter earlier.

It's a big deal, and those officials can't afford not to care. Therefore, whether it is welcome, pleased, or simply come to congratulate, it will soon sweep in like the sea at high tide. The congestion in front of Xu's house is like a street market, and Xu's father can't even enter the house. Fortunately, the guards guarding the door saw their old lady and hurriedly welcomed people in.

Father Xu walked into the house in the eyes of everyone's admiration and envy, and he was stunned for half a tea all the way. If he hadn't been in a hurry to see the unfilial son and see if the letter was true or false, Father Xu would still want to stay here and continue to listen to the flattery of the audience.

However, there is no hurry, it is serious to see the unfilial son first.

When he was in the house, Father Xu took a look at the housekeepers who came to give congratulatory gifts from the various mansions arranged by the housekeeper, and those housekeepers didn't know which ones they were, but they looked very magnificent anyway. And there are so many people, you can open five or six tables. Father Xu looked at the basket of posts outside the door again, the basket was already full of posts, and a guard brought a new one, but in the blink of an eye, half a basket of invitations floated inside.

The Xu family is really up, think about it, although the Xu Mansion was also a city in the past, and there were many people who came to pay a visit, it would never be so much.

On the other hand, now, the housekeepers who came to Xu Mansion to give congratulatory gifts are obviously of a higher grade and have more people, which shows that the Xu family really got mixed into the circle of the upper city of the capital, which is really gratifying.

Father Xu felt that Xu Mansion had today's situation, and he made great contributions, so the pace towards Heyan Hall was a little floating.

When he was about to enter the courtyard of Heyan Hall, Father Xu suddenly sobered up, "What about Erlang?" Where is he, let him come and see me. ”

Wang Kui wanted to pout, but finally held back. Okay, anyway, this is also the second son's pro-Laozi. The master can talk as much as he wants, and he, a servant of the minion, will be a good man.

However, "The servant just asked the porter to inquire, and Lord Su and several adults who had been friends with the adults came over, and the adults should be entertaining them in the flower hall now." ”

Father Xu was suffocated, a little unhappy, but a little happy. is unhappy because he was "cut off", which made him a little unhappy; I am happy because someone can only raise the status of Xu Mansion by heating the stove.

Father Xu frowned for a while, but what he said, "Then don't call him first, wait for him to send the guests away, and then let him come to Heyan Hall." Tell him that I have something to say to him, and let him come over every day and night. ”

Wang Kui hurriedly responded, and then found a small servant to go over to the flower hall to star, and he followed Father Xu into the Heyan Hall, waiting for Father Xu step by step, looking at the attitude, he was also more attentive and thoughtful than usual.

Xu's father was going to go to his courtyard, but he didn't know what to think, so he turned around and went to see Xu's mother. However, before I saw Mother Xu, I first heard the unfilial son Saburo boasting there, "I'll just say that my daughter-in-law is a good one, mother, you see, this was just hired yesterday, and today my second brother's errand is decided." It's still a second product!! How many second-rank officials are there in the entire court? My second brother has this time in his life, which is worth it. After that, it doesn't matter if you can go up or not, it will be enough to bless future generations. But this is also a blessing that my daughter-in-law brings to the family, so mother, when my daughter-in-law enters the door in the future, you must be kind to her. This is a lucky star, if you are good to her, the Buddha will bless you. ”

Mother Xu was almost surrounded by San Lang, her eyes were a little blindfolded, and she was dazed and confused, "Really? ”

"That's absolutely true. Otherwise, you see that my second brother has been reporting in the capital for a few months, but there must be no movement on the errand. As a result, Jiayu was given a dowry yesterday, and today the matter is settled. Mother, you taste, you taste, if there is nothing to do with this, I will screw your head off and kick it as a ball. ”

Mother Xu's body shook, but Jinniang was very calm. Xu Chong has done all the unreliable things, so he blamed Xu Erlang's errand on the blessings that Jiayu brought to his family...... Okay, for the sake of him being Erlang's younger brother, and now he is pitifully begging her subordinates to be merciful, she won't tear down the stage. But when you turn around, you have to warn Saburo, don't say anything bald.

A younger brother's daughter-in-law brings good luck to the uncle, which is easy to say and not good to hear. Not to mention that things are not like that at all, it is completely a coincidence.

So let's just do it once, not for example.

Jin Niang glared at San Lang twice, which can be regarded as erasing the matter. But she doesn't care, there are people outside the door. Seeing that Xu's father breathed fire, he walked into the flower hall quickly, pointed at Xu Chong's nose and scolded, "You turtle son, whose credit is it for Erlang's promotion to the second rank of the senior member?" Why do you think your husband and wife have such big faces? Without me and your mother to give birth to Erlang, for Erlang to study and apprentice, can Erlang have today? We have worked hard to raise the children, and we have done everything we need to, and now that the planted saplings have blossomed and borne fruit, you have come to grab the ready-made fruits. Xu Chong, Xu Chong, why are you so shameless! You say your face is bigger than a basin, why don't you go to heaven! ”

Father Xu didn't say enough to relieve his anger, and he still wanted to do it. He remembered that there was a feather duster hidden in the flower hall, but he couldn't find it anyway, his angry hands were shaking, and he picked up a cup and was about to smash it on Xu Chong's body.

Xu Chong dodged lightly, and the teacup fell to pieces on the ground.

Mother Xu didn't react when she saw this, but just pouted in disgust. Jin Niang wanted to step forward, but in the end, this was her father-in-law, father-in-law and uncle were "fighting", and she couldn't fight, so she could only hurriedly give Qinghe a look, and quickly call Chang'an Changping to come to help.

Qinghe hurriedly went out, and Xu Chong also got on top of Xu's father. He didn't give face to Xu's father. The point is that this father is a little shameless in his words, what do they call them to raise their children with hard work? To be reasonable, when did he and his mother take care of him and his second brother? The eldest brother and they took care of it, but when it was his turn to be with the second brother, their husband and wife were indifferent, and they spent all day drinking and enjoying the prosperity outside; One was disheartened, because his father was still angry with them, so he snubbed them.

He and his second brother were completely raised by the eldest brother, and when the eldest brother went to the barracks, he got it, then he was like a child without a father and a mother, no matter how to get into trouble, no learning and no skills, no return at night, no one cares anyway, just feel free to go to heaven.

As a result, the second brother is now out of luck, and his father came over to grab the credit, is this a human officer?

Xu Chong said whatever he wanted, and immediately said what was in his heart.

Father Xu's face was red and his neck was thick, although he knew in his heart that what his son said was the truth, but could he admit it? To admit it is to have no compassion and not to be worthy of the glory brought by his son. But if you don't recognize it...... Yes, he just doesn't admit it.

Go outside and ask, didn't the father treat his children like that when he was young? He cares that the children eat and drink well, and that they are not hungry and not tired, is already fulfilling his father's responsibility. You can't force him to ask about his son's affairs in every detail, that's what an incompetent father does, as for him, he is so busy every day that his feet don't touch the ground, where can he have so much time to share with his children?

When Father Xu thought of this, he instantly became less heartless, and he became arrogant again. Even if his whole strength was exhausted and he was a little panting, this did not delay him from continuing to compete with Xu Chong for power and profit.

Erlang can have a few days, it must be the credit of his old son. As for Chen Jiayu, what gospel can he bring to the house before he has passed the door?

Father Xu sneered and said to Xu Chong, "If the Chen family is really blessed, why don't you see her to protect you?" You've been a six-rank lieutenant for five or six years, when do you think you're going to rise a liter? It doesn't make sense that Chen is your daughter-in-law, but he can't be blessed with you, do you think that's the truth? ”

Xu Chong was really asked by Xu's father, but the fact that he was not promoted was really not something that could be explained in a few words.

However, he was about to be promoted, so it would be better to take the opportunity to get promoted.

Xu Chong frowned, thinking about it. He made a gesture of "stop the war", and then said to Xu's father, "You don't believe in Jiayu's blessings, but I go on a blind date." So, let's make a bet. Just bet that I will definitely be promoted before and after I get married to Jiayu, don't care how many levels I can go up at that time, anyway, as long as I am promoted, you will be convinced that Jiayu has great luck. And in the future, I sincerely regard Jiayu as the daughter-in-law of Xu Mansion, and I can't dislike her. ”

Father Xu pursed his lips, wanting to say that he really didn't believe that Chen Jiayu had this ability.

He had only seen the girl once, and he had the impression that she was a somewhat gloomy, excessively thin, wooden, and unpleasant girl. Compared with the second daughter-in-law, Jinniang, it is far inferior. Even compared with the earlier Da Lang's daughter-in-law Wu, it is much inferior.

is such a small town girl, her net worth is not outstanding, there is no help behind her, and she has no ability herself, so he will see why she is a lucky star.

Xu's father happily agreed and made this bet with Xu Chong.

Jinniang and Xu's mother, as witnesses, also signed the "gambling contract" written by the two.

These two people are also interesting, and they also specially wrote a bet contract for this matter and indicated the bet.

If Xu Chong responds, the "reward" is what he just said, if Xu's father wins, Xu's father doesn't want anything else, as long as the house with "Chen Mansion" hanging on the lintel.

Obviously, Father Xu doesn't care about the affairs of the family on the surface, but the affairs in Xu's mansion are still more or less remembered by him.

The house in Mao'er Hutong has changed from "Xu Mansion" to "Chen Mansion", and Xu's father certainly knows. It is precisely because of knowing that my heart is becoming more and more suffocated.

Before the daughter-in-law got married, tens of thousands of taels of house were sent over as a dowry, and the plaque of "Chen Mansion" was hung openly, and San Lang turned his elbow outward.

Father Xu was very dissatisfied with this.

It's your own thing, and you have to leave it to your children and grandchildren. My family now has five grandchildren, and that house is not enough at all. He also wanted to start a business and buy a house for his grandchildren in his lifetime, so that they could enjoy the shadow of his grandfather. Unexpectedly, he didn't think of the way to make money to his family, and Erlang Saburo began to scatter his wealth.

Father Xu has a very good opinion on this, and now that he has the opportunity to get the house back, of course he will not be soft.

The contract was made, and Xu's father was satisfied, glared at the unfilial son arrogantly, threw his sleeves and left.

After Xu's father left, Xu Chong cried and laughed and said to Xu's mother and Jinniang, "When did my father become a wealth obsesser?" He didn't look at anything before, and he really wanted to empty our storeroom so that he could mess with his friends. Now that I know how to cherish things, this is a change of sex? ”
