Chapter 40: The Seed
Xu Qingyou was originally following Lin Moran and Jing Ning behind, who knew that the two of them walked faster and faster, as if they were deliberately trying to get rid of him and Ah You, and finally the two disappeared in front of the General's Mansion, leaving Ah You and him, who were panting, and could only look at each other in front of the door.
Forget it, fortunately, the Xu Mansion and the General's Mansion are very close, but they are separated by two streets, so let this little girl named Ah You go back to her house tonight.
He deliberately didn't bring his entourage when he went out this time, so before entering the house, he specially instructed Ah You, be quiet, the old man of their family has come back in the past two days, and the rules of the family have become strict again, he is such an adult, and he can't violate their curfew.
What's more, if you take a girl back to the house without permission, you will be ruthless and unwilling, and you will inevitably be interrogated by the old man.
However, this time it's okay, I haven't been discovered by the old man, or the fact that the old man has to work too much recently, I don't have time to worry about him.
There is also a possibility that Old Man Xu has always been angry about Xu Qingyou's lack of achievements in the court.
A few days ago, the king asked someone to summon him into his palace overnight.
At first, their whole family thought that the king was going to summon the old man, and in the middle of the night, the embarrassed old man had tidied up his clothes, but they were told that the king had asked the prince of the Xu family to go to the palace to talk in detail, and the expression of the whole family was like seeing a ghost.
Xu Qingyou was also very surprised, since he had very little contact with the king in the court, now, what can the king summon for?
When he came back from the palace, the old man was still sitting at home waiting for him, still holding a rattan in his hand, as if it had been determined, the king summoned Xu Qingyou this time to ask Xu Qingyou about the guilt, but because of the old man's face, he did not put him Xu Qingyou, a gentleman, in prison.
Old man Xu was holding a rattan and was preparing to kill his relatives in righteousness, breaking one of Xu Qingyou's legs, so that the king could understand the sincerity of their family.
"What has the king called you?" The old man has always claimed to convince people with reason, and he must calm down before fighting, ask the truth of the matter clearly, and beat him Xu Qingyou to understand.
"It's nothing, the king has given me some tasks, grandfather, it's late, I'm afraid it will be dawn in a few hours, rest early." After Xu Qingyou finished speaking, he turned around to leave, and his appearance made the old man more sure that Xu Qingyou must have been in trouble.
"Stop!" The old man angrily waved the rattan in his hand, and the sound of the rattan cutting through the air was loud and terrifying.
Over the years, Xu Qingyou has suffered a lot from rattan since he was a child, and every time he hears this voice, his hairs stand on end.
"What's wrong, grandpa?" He cautiously asked, why is the old man so atmospheric?
"Bastard, don't tell the truth, say, what kind of trouble have you caused again, and it has alarmed the king?!"
Grandpa's questioning for no reason completely made Xu Qingyou confused, "Why does the king blame me, this meeting is entirely because the king handed over the matter of this negotiation with Qi State to me, and I didn't make any mistakes?" ”
"Is what you say true?" The old man will be suspicious, after all, as the prime minister, why didn't he hear any rumors and it was about his grandson.
"Do you think I lied to you about this kind of thing, and as soon as you and I go to court tomorrow, my words will be verified to be true or false, is there any point in this kind of lie?" Xu Qingyou felt a little funny, what kind of person did he become in his grandfather's heart, so stupid that if he wanted to lie, he wouldn't even tell a lie?
The old man was powerless to refute, and after thinking about it, he let him go to rest, and on the second day, he went to the palace to verify before Xu Qingyou finished cleaning up.
When he returned to the house, he was smiling, and he kept saying that his grandson had finally grown up and knew how to serve the country, and his grandfather was at ease.
Since that day, the old man has not controlled him so much.
