"This matter must not be listened to by those who have a heart, especially recently, there are many people talking, and people have no door to mouth, which is the most likely to be bad. It's a big deal to get to the emperor. ”

Gu Shi took Xu Bao's words to heart as a holy decree, and immediately ordered to go down, and a big stone in his heart could be considered to land.

Xu Bao came out of Xu's mansion, how to persuade Xu Ye, he had already made a draft, and just waited for Xu Ye to pour beans in the bamboo tube in the capital.

It's just that the Li family's intention of ordering someone to send a thousand taels of silver has always been incomprehensible to him.

When I passed by the teahouse, I heard the storyteller talking about the famous characters who cooked the cunning rabbit and the dead lackeys of the past dynasties, and instantly sobered up.

Xu Chen used to be Lord Li's eagle claws, if he was still of great use, how could Lord Li let Qin Jie's brutal punishment of Xu Chen?

It was obvious that Xu Chen was useless, and he was worried about revealing the truth about his manipulation behind his back, so he deliberately ignored it. It's a shame that he heard that Lord Li's mansion sent money, and he was still grateful in his heart, but it was a cat crying mouse fake mercy!

Xu Bao was walking, walking under the wall of the courtyard, and a basin of cold water that penetrated people's hearts splashed on it, his hair and clothes were soaked, and he was about to exert his might, looking up, where to see what kind of figure.

He was going to go to the duty room to test whether Master Li had any thoughts of being cunning against him, but he was watered away by this basin of cold water, and the people on the street were pointing fingers, so he hurried home to change his clothes.

I didn't want to bump into Xu Yuan at home, Xu was curious, although it was a good weather, the concubine was afraid of heat, and there were basins under the corridor in the courtyard, which were filled with ice cubes, and the wind hurt like a knife piercing the heart.

Xu covered his arms and asked, "Hanlin Academy can't be closed today, why are you at home at this hour?" ”

"I thought that the third uncle's house was busy, and my father was there alone, and he could take care of it here, and he forgot about it, so he took leave and came back."

Xu Yuan stepped forward and touched Xu Cover's soaked sleeves, and said strangely: "Dad fell into the water, why did he come back like this?" Or did the third aunt give you a look? If that's the case, we don't have to help! ”

Seeing that he had a strong face, he really didn't plan to go, Xu Hao hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I don't know which one who doesn't have long eyes splashes me with water on the street, if it's not in the way, you go to your third uncle's house to say hello, I'll come after changing my clothes." ”

Xu Yuan should get down and walk outside the door, and the steward inside hurriedly chased him out, his face was very ugly.

"Childe, the master fainted! I think it's because of the cold, the villain will go to ask the doctor, don't go to the third master's house for the time being. ”

It turned out that Xu Wei was frightened in his heart, and with a basin of cold water, the hot was born with a cold disease, and he never opened his eyes when he fell.

The concubine poured the decoction into her mouth every day, spit out more, swallowed less, and the disease was not good at all.

Jin Ting occasionally passed by the outside of Xu Courtyard, heard the little concubine's sobbing high and low, and said: "What is crying and crying like, the old man is even more annoyed when he hears it, but I am afraid that I don't want to get up." ”

Xu covered this illness, Hao Tingmei, Ren Shuhua and Shi Zhangbi came to visit, and the three of them raised money to buy a ginseng the size of a radish to chat and express their hearts, but unfortunately they still fed the quilt and pillow.

The next day, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu heard from Hao Tingmei that Xu Shu fell ill because of the matter of Xu Chen, and it happened that Li Chongshan heard it and proposed to take a look together.

Xu Yuan mentioned to the Ministry of Rites Shangshu in the study his wish to resign and return to his hometown on behalf of his father.

Li Chongshan sat aside and ate tea quietly, and when he heard the words, he asked: "Your father's illness is not unwell, and you will enter the cabinet to assist the emperor in the future. ”

Xu Yuandao: "Since my father heard the bad news of the third uncle, he has not slept well every night, and he told me a few days ago that he has the intention of returning to the farm. I didn't want to bump into a serious illness, and the student had the courage to make such a decision for his father. I begged the two teachers to see that the student's father was sick in bed, and he was afraid that he would not adapt to the feng shui of the capital, so let him go back to his hometown to recuperate.

The students knew that their father was favored by the two teachers in the old days, and his career could be smooth. When my father recovers from his illness in the future, if the two teachers still value my father's ability, they can reinstate him. ”

After that, Xu Yuan bowed his hand to kneel down for the Ministry of Rites.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Xu Yuan, "The man has gold under his knees, and you are the champion Lang, let alone this, how can we not know that you are filial." Master Li, why don't we just follow this child's meaning? ”

Li Chongshan said with a smile: "Lord Xu is your subordinate, and it is naturally up to you to decide whether he goes or stays, and I only take care of the affairs of my military department, and it is not appropriate to act as a substitute." ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu said with a smile: "I thought it would be okay for Lord Li to take care of it, Xu Bi Suri has a close relationship with Lord Li, and our Ministry of Rites guesses that he respects you as a general." ”

"Tell a joke somewhere." Li Chongshan put down the teacup and pointed at Xu Yuan with two fingers: "Lord Xu's son is the same as my family's Bozhang, I can treat Lord Xu as a brother, this elder can't deserve it, can't deserve it!" ”

The two high-ranking officials smiled and laughed for a while, Xu Yuan was sick in bed because his father was sick, his face was haggard, and he didn't have the idea of laughing, so he stood aside and didn't speak.

When the Ministry of Rites Shangshu left, he granted Xu Yuan's request.

……

While Xu Miao was sick in bed, Xu Yuan took a long vacation in Hanlin Hospital, and while he and his second uncle Xu Ye were in charge of Xu Chen's funeral, he had to go home to take care of Xu Mian when he was free, and the matter of visiting Ruan Miaoling was delayed for more than half a month.

When Xu Chen's funeral was over, Xu Ye said that Yunnan's business could not be delayed, and he planned to leave for home.

Gu Shi has not been able to talk to Xu Ye directly, Yuan Cheng hoped that Xu would help her, but he didn't think that he couldn't afford to get sick, and he planned to run away from the soup, so Gu turned his mind to Xu Yuan.

"Tuzhi, the third aunt has something I want to ask you for help, your father promised me before, but it's a pity that I can't do it because I'm sick. Seeing that your third uncle is about to return to Yunnan, this matter cannot be put on hold! ”

Gu thought that Xu Yuan had told Xu Yuan about the matter after Xu Bao went back, so he was relieved and bold.

Xu Yuan heard Gu mention Xu Ye, and he had already guessed what was going on, and pretended not to know, "Third aunt, forgive me, Tuzhi is a junior, and it is not good to open up to the second uncle." And the second uncle is committed to instructing the juniors, if I go, I will have to listen to the second uncle for three or five hours...... Third aunt, you have always been a bodhisattva, and you will never push your nephew into the fire pit, right? ”

Originally, Xu Yuan refused, and Gu Shi didn't like it in his heart, but then he heard him say a few good words, and his face softened slightly.

"It's too late for the third aunt to love you, but there is an important matter, and the third aunt can't find anyone to discuss, so she can't find you to help...... Your father may have mentioned to you that your third uncle had a mine in Yunnan, because he secretly ran it when he was an official, and now your third uncle is gone, and he is no longer an official. But there is no one in our family who can do things, and the third aunt sees that your second uncle's business is big and his skills are also very good, so she wants to ask him to help take care of it. ”
