Chapter 37: Drizzle (3)

The light in the room gradually dimmed, the window paper "clicked", Xu Fu got up and pushed the window open, and said softly: "It's raining." ”

Zhao Huang sat silently at the table, looking out the window at the half-dim and half-bright sky and the rain, his mind full of the strange spontaneous combustion of the thousand-pleated skirt made of xiaxia-like veil. Since he started to want to marry Brother Sakura, there have been constant troubles, and everything is tricky, is it that the soul of that person doesn't want to watch him and Brother Sakura fly together? A cool breeze mixed with the smell of earth rushed towards him, and he couldn't help but shiver.

Xu Fu didn't pay attention to his expression, and only continued: "I have checked, when King Chen rebelled, King Kang's Mansion was clear and protected himself, and he never got involved in it from beginning to end. The Cui family has nothing to do with King Kang's Mansion...... Of course, there may be any secrets that we don't know, although the Cui family has nothing to do with King Kang's Mansion, it is difficult to ensure that other people in King Kang's Mansion have anything to do with his family. "Otherwise, how could the person who secretly helped the women and children of the Cui family enter King Kang's Mansion lightly and skillfully?

Zhao Huang cheered up and said, "I heard that Wang Huaixu's nerd was released by Wang Zhongcheng. "Wang Huaixu is a friend of Cui Cheng, King Cheng has his own second son in the imperial history, when the Cui family was involved in the Chenwang rebellion case, he ran around for the Cui family regardless of his own safety, the Xu family quit the marriage, he stopped Xu Heng on the street and insulted the Xu family for treachery, fell into the well, and also looked for Zhao Huang and Xu Fu to help, and after being rejected, he scolded him in front of him for being unkind and villainous. Later, he was severely beaten by his father and locked up in time to avoid disaster to the family.

Xu Fu thought of the stubborn nerd, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and smiled faintly: "I also heard about it, and I went to meet him the day before yesterday, although I was a lot sluggish, I was still stubborn." ”

Zhao Huang was surprised by his well-informed place, but these years of friendship can be regarded as the surprise and unpredictability of Xu Fu, so he didn't ask him where the news came from, but said: "Can we meet?" How did he react? ”

Xu Fu said: "No." He has long regarded me as a despicable villain who seeks good fortune and avoids evil, and falls into the well, why should I be bored? It's just a glance from afar. ”

Zhao Huang was silent for a moment, and said tentatively: "In this case, I will send people to stare at him to see if he has any movement." ”

Xu Fu nodded and said, "I'm going to get married, and I will go out after I get married." ”

"I don't know who my sister-in-law is in the future? Can you decide where you want to go? Seeing that he did not refuse to participate in this matter again, Zhao Huang was in a better mood, and secretly decided that he had to successfully solve the current deadlock.

"It's the niece of Lu Yuanwailang of the ancestral hall." Xu Fu didn't hide it from him: "If there is no accident, I should go to the department of the criminal department to be in charge." ”

The head of the Criminal Department, from the ninth grade, has just entered the stream. But in terms of Xu Fu's identity and Xu Heng's temperament, it is almost like this, Zhao Huang happily congratulated Xu Fu: "With the talent of the fifth brother, he will be able to show his ambitions." ”

Xu Fu was a little gloomy, if it weren't for his family feud, he should have taken the road of the imperial examination in a bright and bright way, instead of taking the road of recommendation. Now that his brother and sister are adults and are about to start a family, he can no longer rely on Xu Heng as before, and must stand on his own as soon as possible.

Zhao Huang knew that he had no choice but to put down his arrogant side, so he comforted: "It's just the current situation, since the establishment of the dynasty, six or seven out of ten new entrants in the court are recommended and come from the shadows. ”

Xu Fu didn't want to say anything more about this matter, smiled slightly, and turned the conversation around: "It's not early, it's time to go home, let's go together?" ”

Zhao Huang had already made up his mind, so he went to the earlier anxiety and anxiety, and went downstairs with Xu Fu calmly.

Xu's adoptive parents' home is in an alley in the northwest corner of Shangjing, with two pomegranates planted in front of the courtyard and the backyard. Now the pomegranate has hit the flower bones, and the largest flower bone in the sun has quietly cracked, poking out half of the red silk-like petals. Xu Fu's adoptive father Xu Che was gossiping with his wife Zou about Xu Fu's family affairs and future in the room, and when he heard the sound of footsteps outside, he couldn't help but ask the little maid with a little joy: "Is the fifth master back?" ”

The little maid Hanlian was only twelve years old, but she was very clever, she had already opened the curtain, and said happily: "If you go back to the master, it is the fifth master who has returned." ”

Xu Che and Zou closed the conversation, and looked at Xu Fu who had just entered the door with a smile: "It's still raining outside?" Wet? Zou instructed Han Lian: "Hurry up and bring ginger soup to the fifth master to ward off the cold." ”

Xu Fu saluted Anbi to his adoptive parents, and said with a smile: "Parents don't have to worry about it, my son is dressed in oil and has never been wet." ”

Zou smiled and let Xu Fu sit beside him, and said, "Today, your eldest aunt accompanied me to the Lu family, and discussed the decision on the tenth day of the next month." I'm discussing with your father that it's time to clean up the house. ”

Xu Fuhe said kindly: "It's hard work, parents." Then he handed over a wooden box to Zou with both hands: "It is made for my mother, and my mother will see if she likes it?" ”

Zou opened the wooden box and took a look, and was dazzled by the yellow gold and red gems, and his heart was extremely happy, but he said with disgust in his mouth: "You kid, didn't you just play a set a year ago?" How do you break the bank? I'm not a decent official wife, so I've thrown all these good things to me, so I'll keep them for you to marry your daughter-in-law. ”

Xu Fu said sincerely: "If a mother wants to go out, it is her son's filial piety to always be decent. ”

Zou still wanted to shirk, and Xu Che on the side said: "Since the son is filial, the old woman should not say much." As he spoke, he looked at his heir, but the more he looked at it, the more he loved it.

He and Zou have been close for nearly ten years, and he has never seen any movement in Zou's stomach, so he gritted his teeth and bought a concubine, but another ten years have passed, and Hugh wants to say that his son, even his daughter has not seen half of it, so he had to obey the arrangement of his brother Xu Heng, and succeeded Xu Fu as an heir from his hometown in Jiangzhou, Hedong. Xu Fu was fifteen years old when he came, and the husband and wife did not dislike Xu Fu for being too old, but this place is far away from home, their family has no permanent property, and they have no ability, Xu Che has been in the mix for many years and is just a junior official who has just entered the stream, and the family relies on the clan brother to live, and they can't easily refuse, so they have to reluctantly bear it.

Later, the more I get along, the more I feel that Xu Fu is good, not only sensible and considerate and filial, but also especially able to endure hardships and be good at management. Not to mention, because of the poverty of the family, the Zou family not only had to take the concubine Liang to do laundry, cooking, and housework, but also spin and weave cloth and do needlework to subsidize the family. After Xu Fu came, it was only three or four years of hard work, and the family changed to a good house, bought someone to serve, and the days since then have become more and more prosperous, and the clansmen have more respect when they see it. The fly in the ointment is that Xu Fu has too many ideas, and he refuses to become his own son earlier and takes the business path. Now Xu Fu will marry the daughter of an official eunuch as a wife, and he will also become an official, thinking that according to Xu Fu's ability and the attention of his brothers, Xu Fu will inevitably have a bright future. Isn't that bittersweet?

Xu Fu noticed his adoptive father's fiery gaze, and when he raised his eyes, he knew what his honest adoptive father was thinking, so he couldn't help but smile slightly, and said softly: "Dad, my son has made an appointment with Yun Jinxuan's ready-to-wear master, and he will come over tomorrow to make new clothes for the second elder." ”

Xu Che was satisfied: "Okay, the old man will enjoy the blessings of his son for the rest of his life." He repeatedly told Xu Fu: "It's okay to go to your uncle's house to take a look, see if there is anything that can help, don't be lazy, we owe your uncle too much." ”

Xu Fu respectfully agreed, and when he saw that it was raining outside, he said that he had something to go out of, and he might not come back at night. He is used to taking ideas, and he is the pillar of the family, Xu Che and his wife can't control him, so they can only order the little maid Layue to serve well.

Xu Fu didn't want Layue to follow, went back to the room and picked up a package and rode away. As soon as the rain stopped, the street was wet, and there were not many pedestrians, so he turned left and right, went around from the west of the city to the south of the city, sat in a tea shop in the south of the city for a while, and went around from the south of the city to the east of the city, and had a meal alone in a restaurant in the east of the city, and when it was about to get dark, he took the package back to the south of the city, entered a brothel and left the horses, went out through the back door, and walked to the nearby Anjifang.

In the west of Anjifang in the south of the city, there are all poor people who have no permanent property and work part-time jobs to sell water and firewood, and the running sewage in the alleys is cross-flowing, and chickens, ducks and dogs are everywhere, so they have to pad some broken bricks for people to walk. Xu Fu didn't think about it, and walked to the door of a family at the end of Lane 37 with a light car, stepping on broken bricks, and gently knocking on the firewood.

After a long time, Fang heard a shrew scolding: "Mother, which short-lived son who is not long-eyed came to knock on the door of the old lady?" Want to be stabbed, don't you? ”

Xu Fu was not annoyed, and only raised his voice: "Sister-in-law Hu, I heard that you have a good craft and can weave good clothes." I have a skirt here to ask my sister-in-law to help, as long as it is repaired well, the price is negotiable. ”

The firewood was pulled away from it with a "clang", and a woman with a fleshy face and greasy hair poked her head out and complained loudly: "Don't you see that it's getting dark?" How to make up? I have to boil the lamp and burn the oil to hurt my eyes! He took Xu Fu's package angrily and opened it to check the Xia Xiang Yarn Thousand Pleated Skirt inside.

Xu Fu said cautiously: "I'm in a hurry." ”

The woman rolled her eyes: "Double the price!" Then he slammed the door shut, dropping the phrase: "Come and get it tomorrow morning!" ”

A neighbor quietly opened the door and whispered to Xu Fu: "This mother-in-law is very evil, why should the son suffer from her idleness?" ”

Xu Fu shook his head with a wry smile and left: "I heard that she is the only one who has this skill." After that, he left Anjifang on broken bricks as usual, returned to the brothel, asked for a table, a room, and slept with his head covered until dawn.

In the early morning of the next day, Xu Fu went to the 37th Lane of Anjifang again, this time the fat woman did not give him any anger, and carried the package in one hand and stretched it out with the other. Xu Fu put a heavy money bag in her hand, the woman opened it and looked at it, and Fang said lightly: "The former Heavenly Daoist can retreat from the enemy with fire talismans, but he can't protect himself. It's nothing more than a genus of ghost fire. ”

Is it a trick? It's exactly what he thought. If there are really ghosts in this world, why didn't the parents, brothers and sisters who died unjustly never dream and ask for their lives? Then there really is, he is not afraid of the living, is he still afraid of the dead? Whoever it is, let him come! A sneer appeared on Xu Fu's lips, and he turned to leave.

Then there is a very serious routine publicity activity that must be carried out before the book is put on the shelves: "Good Son-in-law" is about to be put on the shelves, in this world where piracy is justified and piracy is flying all over the sky, being an online writer is very humble and small, because one person or a small group of people has no way to compete with this big society, otherwise, the result of grievance and anger is not to write. But I want to keep writing, as long as people still read it, and as long as people like my story, I want to keep writing. I don't want to talk about how hard I worked in the process of writing the story, how hard it was, and how many problems I had because of it...... To put it simply, I want to keep going because I like it, but I really need encouragement and support from you, and you know that my confidence and motivation really come from you, and this is a fact that can't be more true. Here, Xiaoyi sincerely hopes that you can support the genuine subscription as much as possible, it doesn't cost much money every month, less than 5 yuan, maybe in today's soaring prices, in some cities, this money can't even buy a bowl of noodles, only enough to buy a Chinese cabbage. But just such a little money can make Xiaoyi feel warm and encouraged, and he is more energetic and confident when he writes.

After shouting, don't say much, I hope to see this paragraph, the website forums like to move the article, delay 48 hours to move the article.
