Chapter 19: Precursors

Regarding Xiao Ding's hints, Xu Zhai naturally knew what he meant. It's nothing more than letting yourself think of a good rhetoric, and if someone is embarrassed tomorrow, you won't be caught with pigtails.

"Yes, the old minister understands. Your Majesty rest assured, tomorrow, no one will be able to slander the Xu family. ”

"It's so good, playing chess with Xu Lao is really comfortable. This game is inferior, it's getting late, Xu Lao, please go back. By the way, the queen made a new set of dresses for Hua'er, I see that the material is good, you can bring one back and give it to your little granddaughter. ”

"The old minister thanked His Majesty for the reward for his granddaughter, and the minister retired."

Xiao Ding stared at the chessboard until the footsteps disappeared. Deyu stepped forward and said softly,

"Your Majesty is still very kind to the Xu family."

Xiao Ding snorted, and the chess pieces in his hand were still on the chessboard,

"In the end, I have always followed me, the Xu clan of the East China Sea, loyal enough and capable. If I want to sit firmly in the troubled times, the Xu family is indispensable. In this case, I also have to help him grasp the position of this powerful minister of the court. ”

In Xiaoxiang Pavilion, as soon as Xu Qingyang entered the door, Mama Wang greeted him.

"The girl is back."

Xiangling took off her cloak for Xu Qingyang, turned around and retreated with her cloak.

"Well, I've been to see Mr. Wen, and I saw that he was a little restrained, so I chatted for a while."

Mama Wang handed the freshly poured tea to Xu Qingyang.

"The girl did the right thing, but after all, she is a man, and the girl should pay attention to proportion."

"I understand, how is Mo'er?"

When it comes to her daughter, Mama Wang also feels a pain in her heart, but she still pretends to be relaxed and says,

"It's okay, the medicine given by the girl is good, and I will be back to serve in two days." It's getting late, so let's rest early. ”

This year's midsummer seems to be exceptionally hot, and Xu Jian stood under the eaves, looking at the sky with a sad face.

In the past half a month, Wen Chenan has gradually become accustomed to the life of Yongwen Pavilion, and he gets up early every day, waiting to go to the school with Lu Shixian.

"Big brother, aren't you busy today?"

Xu Jian turned his head and saw that it was the high-spirited Wen Chen'an, and he couldn't help but smile on his face,

"Yes, Mu Xiu today. How's your homework lately? ”

"Mr. is very good, although I am not qualified, but I can understand."

Seeing that Wen Chen'an was in good spirits, wearing a newly made blue robe, his face was ruddy, and he was already judging the two of them when they first met. Xu Jian's mood suddenly improved,

"That's fine. Later, when I am free, I will ask the third uncle about your homework, and if you don't behave well, I will punish them one by one, and I will be merciless. ”

Wen Chenan just wanted to get something back, and Lu Shixian's voice came from behind him,

"Brother Wen has been waiting for a long time, and I have seen the eldest brother."

Xu Jian nodded slightly, and Wen Chenan and Lu Shixian nodded at each other.

"Alright, it's not too early, you two go to the academy quickly."

In the school, everyone arrived one after another.

Xu Qingyang, who had just arrived, felt extremely helpless when he saw Xu Su sitting crookedly in his seat and chatting with the freshmen with his legs that were not perfect.

Xu Qingyang sat on the far right, with a screen on his side, and no one behind him.

On the other side of the screen, there are men, and in the middle row from front to back, there are Xu Qian, Xu Su, Lu Shixian, and Wen Chen'an.

On the far left is the grandson of Ming Zhongzheng, Ming Xuan. The son of the Grand Captain Wang Shouyi, Wang Ranyi. The son of Li Wei, Li Bowen. The son of the cavalry general Song Yi, Song An.

Except for the three brothers and sisters of the Xu family, everyone else is a freshman. Several people gathered around Xu Su and listened to him tell about the glorified leg injury.

Lu Shixian and Wen Chenan walked in side by side, and the two of them invariably waved at everyone, except for Xu Su who didn't get up, the rest of them all stood up and saluted.

Xu Qingyang was hindered by the number of courtesies, so he had to return the salute through the screen.

"Everyone is together, let's go to class."

Without waiting for everyone to greet each other, Xu Qi walked in with steady steps.

Everyone hurriedly returned to their respective positions, and after Xu Qi looked around, he just opened the textbook, and a group of uninvited guests came.
