When Xu Da returned to Wubao, it was the hottest time of the noon sun.

The scorching sun hung high in the sky, the sky was blue and windless, stuffy and hot, and the whole sky over Wubao was like a layer of dry air that could not be dissipated, and even the air was dirty.

Gongsun's Wubao, with the help of the surrounding mountains, built two gates inside and outside.

The inner ring is the private residence of Gongsun Yan and Gongsun Yu, and there are watchtowers around it, so that you can survey the situation in the entire Wubao at any time.

The outer ring is very extensive, with fields all over the place, and it is a place where tenants live.

The entire Ufort, with the help of the mountainous terrain to build defense, is an easy to defend and difficult to attack place.

In the event of an emergency, two gates and one gate, even if the outer gate is lost, the strong inner gate can be consumed by the invading enemy until reinforcements arrive.

However, the premise is that the owner of this castle knows how to take advantage of this advantage and can always make the most appropriate decision.

Xu Da rode in from the outer gate, the guard at the door was gone, and only an old man with dim eyes was guarding the door.

Xu Da walked through it, he didn't look at it, stared at somewhere, as if he was in a trance.

Gongsun Yue's death cast a shadow of death over the entire Wubao, the white mourning banner hung high in the Wubao, and the two-room house was already a mess.

When Xu Da Da Ma passed in front of the gate of the second room, he saw many people gathered at the gate, everyone's face was full of anger and fear, and they were pushing and shouting with the guards of the second room.

It seems that the second lady Yan's hidden infection with the plague slaves has been exposed, and the people, who feel the threat of death, are driven by anger to come to the master's house.

Xu Da only glanced at it lightly, and then calmly walked over to the side.

When passing in front of the three-room mansion, the closed door suddenly opened a crack, and the housekeeper Rong Bo poked his head out of it and whispered to Xu Da.

"Steward Xu, you can count it back, the master has been waiting for you for a long time!"

Xu Da Lerma stopped, turned his head to look, and saw Gongsun Yu and Xu Shi and his wife standing behind Rong Bo, looking at him anxiously.

Xu Da dismounted and came to the gate.

Rong Bo turned sideways to let him in, but Xu Da didn't go in.

Rong Bo hurriedly said: "The owner of the house next door only knows that now the tenants have made a fuss, and it is not safe for you to stay in the village, so bring the children of the family with you." ”

"Sun and Moon"

Gongsun Yu and Xu nodded again and again in the back, and their worried expressions did not seem to be fake.

Xu Dachong and his wife saluted, and unlike the anxious mood of the two elders, Xu Dachong was as calm as if the plague had not broken out in Wubao.

Thinking that his aunt and grandmother had also taken in a lot of slaves before, Xu Da asked tentatively:

"Is my aunt's house okay?"

Rong Bo knew what he meant, and hurriedly whispered: "I have already sent them away, and I got the news from the second room this morning, and the main family is anxious and afraid, and has ordered someone to smoke the mugwort and sprinkle vinegar on the outside of the courtyard." ”

Xu Da rubbed his nose, no wonder he always felt a strange smell wafting into his nose, sour and astringent, and almost thought it was the smell of sweat from Uncle Rong's lack of bathing for too long.

Rong Bo didn't know that Xu Da thought of himself like this, he looked back at the two masters standing behind him, got their reminder, and said to Xu Da:

"Steward Xu, I heard that Miss Yue'er was also infected with the plague, but is it true?"

Xu bowed his head and waved his hand again, "The young lady has woken up, but she is not completely well yet, and it is inconvenient to move, so the kindness of my aunt and aunt, my nephew understands it." ”

"Don't worry, if it really comes to the point of last resort, the little nephew will definitely come to the door to nag."

When Xu heard this, he glanced at his husband, saw that he didn't say anything, and thought that he also agreed to bring Xu Yue, who had been infected with the plague, to come to the door, so he nodded at Xu Da and told him to take good care of his family, but did not persuade him again.

just asked vaguely: "Xu Da, Yue'er can wake up, is the prescription left by Dr. Gu ......?"

Xu didn't say everything, but he didn't need to say everything, Xu Da only knew what his aunt meant by just looking at it.

He first looked at the house that had been smoked with wormwood and vinegar, thinking that after all, there were slaves who might have been sick here, and that no one in the family was sick now, which did not mean that they were not infected.

After thinking about it, he beckoned Rong Bo to come closer, and said the antidote prescription that Xu Yue and the Science and Technology Tree had exchanged, and asked them to drink it first to prevent it.

And said to the Xu family and Gongsun Yu: "With the strength of my aunt, these medicinal materials should be able to prepare a lot, right?" ”

Gongsun Yu, who had never spoken, finally answered him this time, and the fox asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Xu Da glanced at the second room, and smiled meaningfully at the couple's lips, and those deep eyes revealed naked ambition!

Gongsun Yu and Xu Shi saw Xu Da like this, and their hearts jumped in unison.

There were no words on either side, but everything seemed to have been made clear again.

The second lady Yan's management of the back house was harsh, except for the eldest son Gongsun Yue, Gongsun Yan only got two daughters.

Now Gongsun Yue is dead, and there is no successor to the second room.

According to the ancient rites, Gongsun Yan either let his son-in-law and eldest grandson inherit the family business, or find a child from the name of the brother next to him.

Gongsun Yue's health has not been very good, and she has been married for ten years, and she only has a concubine who is two years older than Gongsun Yun, and a young son.

And this young son, like his father, is a medicine jar, and it is very suspenseful whether he can grow up to adulthood smoothly.

In this way, according to the general situation, Gongsun Yuan and Gongsun Yan are brothers of the same mother, and if they succeed, the first choice will definitely be chosen from the sons of Gongsun Yuan's family.

But Xu Da has been in the second room for a few months, and it is not for vain that the two brothers Gongsun Yuan and Gongsun Yan are not as harmonious as outsiders seem.

It's true that the same mother is sibling, but this does not affect the fact that the brothers are not used to seeing each other.

The big house took the official position, and the second room has always felt unconvinced.

But the top has to be dotted, so that the second room has to send money to the big house every month, so that they can do it up and down.

It's just that in this corrupt dynasty, no amount of silk cloth is enough, and in the long run, the second room complains that the eldest brother is embarrassed by himself, and he also scolds himself for being unproductive and not understanding officialdom.

Dafang also felt that his younger brother was disobedient, holding the money in his hand but not using it for himself, obviously these money were all in the clan, but the second room was counted as his own, and he felt that his younger brother was becoming more and more selfish and disregarded the overall situation.

Xu Da had heard that these two brothers, who were over half a hundred years old, quarreled in the study to the point that they almost drew their knives to kill each other.

These two have deep grievances.

Xu Dachong's aunt and uncle raised their eyebrows, he had already pointed out the road to them, whether they wanted to go on this road or not, it was up to them.
