Chapter 108 to retreat

As soon as a trace of fish belly white lit up in the sky, Xu Heng was already dressed and ready to go out. "Yawen romance" He gently looked at Xu Lai, who was sitting on the side, and the four brothers Xu Zhi, Xu Zhuo, Xu Shu, and Xu Jie, who were standing below, and said softly: "This morning, I am going to resign from the position of scholar to the Holy Lord. He looked at the Yao family and other ladies on the other side: "Why this generous reward came, you should also understand." Brother Ying is about to marry into King Kang's mansion, and the dowry must be neat and rich, otherwise it will be the face of the Xu family. ”

Except for Yao, Xu Lai, and Xu Zhi, who could still maintain their composure, everyone else changed color. The second thing is okay, anyone can think that since Brother Xu Ying is going to marry into the palace, this dowry cannot be too thin. But the first thing is that the family relies on Xu Heng alone, but now he is going to work, which will have a great impact on the career of the family and children in the future.

Sun turned the rosary in his hand and said worriedly: "Big brother, has it really come to this point?" ”

It turned out that Brother Xu Ying married into the palace and had to exchange Xu Heng's official position, and it turned out that Brother Xu Ying wanted to use the money from the public to supplement her dowry. Mao Shi has a lot to say, she really wants to ask Changfang, Xu Zhi will inherit the title in the future, Xu Zhuo is out of office, and what about the future of Xu Shu, Xu Jie, and others who will soon become adults? Presumably the two boys would have liked the question she asked. But Xu Heng has been very unkind to see her recently, she doesn't dare, and she still has that big thing in her heart, and she is very nervous, so she doesn't dare to be too conspicuous, so she whispered: "This is really a gain and a loss." ”

Xu Heng looked at everyone's expressions in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "You have seen the scenery at home in the past few days, countless gifts have been sent in like a tide, and they have been received, but they can't be received, and they don't accept them, so they offend people." Since His Majesty has been given a gift, the family has no worries about food and clothing, and those who are courtiers cannot be too greedy. If you wait to be kicked down, then there is nothing. "The emperor may not be sure. But he always has to make the gesture he should have first. At the very least, I have to tell the suspicious old emperor that the Xu family has no intention of helping his two sons oppose his old man, and giving marriage will not change anything.

Listen to what he has to say. The ladies all turned white, and the boys, who were already sensible, were all worried. If you don't have a life, what do you want? It's still about saving your life.

Xu Lai knew about this last night, and was very in favor of the eldest brother's decision, and immediately stood up and was the first to say: "Everything the eldest brother has done over the years is wrong, and the eldest brother has made a decision, of course the younger brother has nothing to say." ”

The trend is one-sided. Xu Heng's resignation plan was unanimously approved, Xu Heng was very relieved and satisfied, and felt that his family was really united and friendly, and knew how to advance and retreat.

The sun rose in the east, shining on the seventy-nine sixty-three large brass nails on the gate of King Kang's Mansion shining, Mao Lian happily thanked the ugly gatekeeper of King Kang's Mansion with his nostrils facing the sky, and walked quickly to the side of Mao Yuchuan who looked sad behind him, and couldn't suppress his joy: "The third master promised to see us." ”

The lines between the eyebrows squeezed into the word "Chuan" by Mao Yuchuan were finally loosened, and since he got Mao's letter, he cheekily looked for Zhang Yizheng, and said that Zhang Yizheng was sick for the first two days. No outsiders. Yesterday, it was easy to take a look at the Xu family's banquet from a distance, but Zhang Yizheng just said goodbye quickly, and Hugh wanted to say that he could talk to Xu Lai's face, even if he looked twice. It's good to finally see you today. He himself has long been polished out of ambition, but son, he gently looked at Mao Lian's delicate eyebrows and eyes and the newborn fur on his lips, thinking of all the well-behaved, sensible and diligent of this son, his heart softened into a pool of spring water. But he also wants to make a gesture to scold Mao Lian: "What does it look like to be reckless?" Don't disgrace your uncle and aunt. ”

"Got it. The son listened to his father's orders. Mao Lian smiled and held his arm. With the little maid of the palace, he walked into the splendid Kang Wangfu. It is almost mid-autumn, and the newly blooming chrysanthemums of all colors on the side of the road are dew and frosty, and they are not splendid. The father and son walked and watched, the old sighed and sad, the little novelty admired, and stayed in a delicate courtyard. The little guy who led the way changed to a pretty maid wearing brocade jade, and then went all the way in, and the eyes were full of wealth, and the splendid pearls and emeralds were dazzling.

Behind the pearl curtain, Zhang Yi, who was only wearing a homely light robe, was half-crooked on the brocade couch, smiling and looking at the nervous and restless father and son of the Mao family opposite, and said cordially: "Please forgive me for being injured and sick, how rude it is." Xiao Mao, this is not the first time you and I have met, and it is not the first time you have come here, so treat your father well for me, and you must not be restrained. ”

If you count it from Mao's side, he can barely be regarded as Mao Chuan's nephew, but who dares to climb this relationship with him? It was enough for him to have such a cordial attitude, and he smiled boldly: "The third master is still the same easy-going." As he spoke, he gave his father a look of "Look, I'll say that this third master is a good person".

Mao Yuchuan thought that he was also a handsome noble son back then, although he was in a bad situation now, he still had some knowledge, and he knew that people were easy-going to give face, but he couldn't take it too seriously. At the moment, he glared at Mao Lian seriously, and respectfully hugged his fists at Zhang Yizheng and said: "The third master is sick, I didn't dare to bother, but I ......"

Zhang Yizheng waved his hand, simply stopped what he was going to say later, and said cordially: "It was I who thought Xiao Mao was good before I opened my mouth with Mrs. Xu." Mr. Mao is also a famous talent, and it is a pity to be delayed like this, but it just so happens that my father is in urgent need of talents, so he took the liberty of inviting him. I'm glad you're here. After a moment's notice, he said, "I heard that you have a letter to me?" ”

Mao Yuchuan was really a little comfortable listening to his kind words, and neatly took out the letter that was neatly wrapped by the Jiang family from his arms and handed it over with both hands.

A pretty maid in a pale pink Luo skirt stepped forward to take the letter, carefully cut it with a golden knife, and respectfully handed it to Zhang Yizheng. Zhang Yizheng just took out the letter paper from the envelope and smelled a crisp and faint fragrance of plum, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips with irony, and looked at it indifferently.

Mao Lian secretly looked at Zhang Yizheng's expression, first saw his eyebrows jump twice, his face was a little gloomy, he was a little worried and afraid, and then he saw him staring at the letter for a long time, and his eyebrows were furrowed, so he became more and more nervous and worried, secretly speculating that his aunt didn't know what to say to him, is it very embarrassing? Mao Yuchuan also felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly stood up and said, "If the third master is busy, we will come back another day." ”

A sweet smile slowly appeared on Zhang Yizheng's face: "I'm not busy, and I can't be idle anymore." It's just that I wasn't in Beijing before, so I didn't have time to tell my father about this, and I asked Mr. Mao to wait for two more days, and I couldn't just find an errand and wronged you. As for the little risk. I think he's still a little younger, and he has a bright future, and it's ...... to go to the next level when he is looking for a famous teacher."

It was almost noon, and Mao Yuchuan and his son left King Kang's mansion satisfied. Go straight to Xu's house.

"None of them could laugh this morning." While staring at Xu Xuehong, Mao complained in a low voice to his mother's brother and nephew: "This marriage is not cost-effective, as soon as this eldest man resigns from the university, what can he do with this title alone?" Is there still one less broken household with a title in the capital? That's it, that's it, it's not polished. ”

Mao Yuchuan is a bird that frightens the bow, although I feel sorry. But he was still busy saying: "Sister Shenyan! As the saying goes, stay in the green mountains without worrying about running out of firewood......"

Mao Shi was just talking casually, but when he saw this, he laughed: "Brother is too cautious." With a wave of his hand, he motioned for Minghe to take Xu Xue down, lowered his voice and said with infinite anticipation: "What did he say about my letter when he saw me?" ”

"Good news!" Mao Yuchuan suppressed the joy in his heart, recounted the experience softly, and continued: "Let me listen to the news the day after tomorrow and listen to what it means." You can't treat me badly! I took a name card for Ah Lian and asked me to worship Wu Pingzhi as a teacher! ”

"Allenke should cherish it!" This Wu Pingzhi is extremely good at the imperial examination, and he has been quite famous in recent years. It's just that the threshold is very high, and it is rare for ordinary people to enter his door, and Mao's is also a little happy, but it is not enough: "What about the others?" The third master didn't say anything else? Is there impatience, is there anger? Zhang Yizheng saw in the letter that she explained the origin of Xu Ying's brothers and sisters so clearly, she should have been touched, right? How can a woman of unknown origin be the wife of this emperor and grandson! Xu Heng and others are desperately trying to hide it, and it will also be a crime of deception in the future!

Mao Yuchuan touched his beard and said with a smile: "It's gone." I didn't see him angry, he was smiling all the time. Polar and gas. ”

？ The question mark in Mao's head, that's all? Could it be that Zhang Yizheng really likes Brother Xu Ying to this point? But when he saw a sudden spirit, he whispered a little embarrassedly: "I remembered!" When they went out, the third master and his nephew said that Aunt Lao was concerned. Since learning of the marriage of the Holy Lord, most of his injuries have been cured. Thinking of the dangers of the past, although it was thrilling, I felt that it was really worth it. When he is well, he will get rid of those who try to disagree with him......"

Mao Yuchuan frowned and said, "This is a little inexplicable. ”

Only Mao Shi could hear the threat in it, this was Zhang Yizheng threatening her not to talk about it, otherwise he and her would not be finished. Is that why do you still like it so much? As soon as Mao thought about this, he suddenly had no interest, that is, Zhang Yizheng felt that there was an extra layer of gloom in the arrangement of his eldest brother and nephew, more like he had ulterior motives to hold firmly in the palm of his hand. After a thousand turns, Mao Shi felt sour, and he was extremely envious of Brother Xu Ying.

The ruby-like pomegranate seeds jumped happily into the white jade porcelain plate through Xu Yingge's smooth fingers, and the red and white contrasted with each other, looking really lovely. Brother Li sat aside with his chin propped up, and said with a sad brow: "Second sister, do you think the Holy Lord will approve the eldest uncle?" They really don't hide such a big thing from the two of us, and they treat us like children. ”

Brother Xu Ying's hand paused, and he continued to peel the pomegranate steadily: "Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, whether it is allowed or not, it is excellent for the family to live in peace." ”

Suddenly, I heard the bell outside shouting vividly: "Hello two grandmothers." The two sisters hurriedly stood up and looked at the two grandmothers who came in with cold faces with a smile: "Grandma is good for a nap...... On the first day of the new year, I wish everyone to receive more red envelopes and laugh haha. Strive to get married during the Spring Festival holiday.
