Chapter 137: The Mystery of the Seven Years
Looking at the stunned Xu Fan, Xu Yun felt that her words had an effect, she was overjoyed, cleared her throat, and continued: "Mother went to the land of the outer domain this time, but she was also forced to be helpless, if you don't go, the shop will not be able to operate normally, and after a long time, it may be uprooted by other shops."
When that time comes, will you count on your father's poor fortune to provide you with food and clothing? If one day, my father retires from officialdom and returns home, even the little money he has will no longer exist.
Do you know that the beggars you see today are your shadows in the future...... My father cooked so much food in the morning for you, but you didn't pay attention to it.
If you give it all to them, it may be the best meal they will ever have in their lives...... If you still don't listen to what I've said, I'll let you experience the misery of being a beggar now. ”
Xu Fan looked at the ragged and dirty beggars, especially their expectant eyes for passers-by begging for alms, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and stammered, "Dada...... Big brother, I'm ...... I know it's wrong, but ...... Cacao...... But when the mother left, it was for ...... Why didn't you tell me? ”
Xu Yundi raised her eyebrows: "Say? What do you say, just because I was worried about what you look like, I didn't tell you, otherwise, can you still make it? ”
"Oh, I'm ...... I get it, I'm ...... I'll go to dinner right away, big ...... Big brother, can you ...... Can you let me go? Xu Fan pointed to the collar of his coat that Xu Yun had pulled up.
Xu Yun didn't expect that her nonsense would really make Xu Fan believe it, and she couldn't help but let out a long breath, let go of Xu Fan's collar, and her expression relaxed a lot.
Xu Yun's tone of voice was also much gentler than before: "As long as you are obedient, you are still my good brother." Let's go, big brother will accompany you to dinner. ”
"Oh!" Xu Fan peeked at Xu Yun timidly, and honestly let Xu Yun grab his hand and walked towards the flower hall in the mansion.
……
When Xu Ze saw the brothers coming back, he was full of joy and quickly adjusted the chair: "Fan'er, I'm hungry, hurry up and sit down and eat." ”
Xu Fan looked at his father's charitable face, and once again remembered the scene where his father knelt down not long ago, and he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable self-blame in his heart.
Xu Fan knelt beside Xu Ze with a plop: "Father, it's me who is ignorant and has broken your heart these days." Don't worry, I will never do this again in the future, I will definitely listen to you and my eldest brother obediently as before, and I will no longer fool around and make you angry! ”
Xu Ze cried with joy and nodded incessantly: "Okay, good!" Father remembers your words. Silly boy, get up and eat. ”
The father and son all sat down separately, Xu Ze picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the dish and put it in his mouth, and found that the meal was already cold: "At this time, although the weather has begun to be a little hot, the food is no longer warm, but it lacks a lot of taste, why don't we eat it later, let the next person take it to the back kitchen to heat it up." ”
Xu Yun was stunned for a moment: "No need, eating like this makes it cooler." Isn't it, Fan'er? ”
Xu Fan smiled indifferently, and said while eating: "Yes, yes, what the eldest brother said is right, father, you don't have to trouble anymore when you are old, hurry up and eat, don't you still have to go to the household department, later, it's not good if it's late." ”
"By the way, what about Xiao Lingzi's girl, why didn't you come back with her?" Xu Ze suddenly remembered Liu Ling.
Listening to the nursing home at the door, she quarreled with Xu Yun and ran away from home, and Xu Yun had already chased her out to find it.
But when I saw Xu Yun coming back alone, I always felt that things were not good: "That kid is also good-looking, if it weren't for the family blockage, it would be more than enough for you."
Our Xu Mansion lacks attention to her, and she didn't even give a decent wedding to others, and it was difficult for that child.
If she has a little temper, you, as a man, should let her do it, don't always be petty and calculating.
You couldn't convince her to go back to the house this time, don't be discouraged, hurry outside after eating to buy some good things for girls, and then go and sincerely please, you know? ”
At this time, Xu Yun was reminded by Xu Ze, remembered what Liu Ling had explained, and nodded: "What my father taught me is that I will definitely make her change her mind...... By the way, how is Yoo Hyun-fang's case? ”
As soon as the case was mentioned, Xu Ze always felt panicked in his heart, put down his chopsticks, and sighed: "Last time, because of Xiao Lingzi's reminder, I immediately sent someone to check Feng Kaiyuan's southern hometown Fuyi Town, Feng Kaiyuan has no father and mother, and has been growing up with his honest uncle. His uncle was a widower, with no two daughters, and only relied on the two acres of land left by his ancestors for Feng Kaiyuan to study.
Later, when Feng Kaiyuan was fifteen years old, his uncle died of illness, and Feng Kaiyuan didn't even have the only support, although there were still two acres of land to starve, but he didn't want to face the loess with his back to the sky. He quit his studies, sold his land, and left home.
Since then, no one in the neighborhood has seen him again. Where Feng Kaiyuan went and what he did, we have no way to find out.
Later, Feng Kaiyuan, who disappeared, suddenly appeared in the Zhejiang examination room, and won the championship in one fell swoop, became a lifter, and made a local seven-grade county order. He was about twenty-two years old at the time, that is, twenty-three years ago.
In the next two years, he was re-elected as the prefect and the prefect, and until now he is the right servant of the household department, during which he can be said to be like a fish in water in the officialdom, and how unusual it is, he is no different from other officials.
Speaking of problems, it can only be the seven years when he has not heard from him, but unfortunately, even a few of his close friends who grew up with him don't know what he did in those seven years. ”
Xu Yun frowned, pursed her lips, and asked, "What does my father mean, this investigation, did you return in vain?" ”
Xu Ze shook his head: "However, what Xiao Lingzi said more than twenty years ago, we didn't find anything, but it didn't fall short.
Feng Kaiyuan basically made friends with those few close friends and ate wine in Yanyang Building. This time, a month ago, I went to a restaurant called Yan Shuangtian for the first time and went straight to the most upscale private room.
According to the recollection of the restaurant's restaurant, the private room was set by a man in a robe, but unfortunately, his entire face was covered and he couldn't see his face clearly.
Soon after Feng Kaiyuan entered, there was a fierce quarrel inside, and about half an hour later, Feng Kaiyuan came out of it with a fierce momentum and walked away. Immediately afterward, the man in the cloak also left. ”
"The man in the robe, since he can't distinguish his face, he may have different characteristics from others."
