Chapter 017: Act IV, Beating

The rain has not stopped, and the farce has been closed!

Huang Shilang flicked his wide sleeves, left Xu Fuji in a menacing manner, and boarded a carriage parked at the end of the street.

The second uncle of the Xu family rushed to chase after him, but he accidentally tripped on his left foot and fell on his right foot and fell into the mud, which was extremely embarrassing.

Xu Baizhi finally couldn't hold back and laughed.

Half an hour later.

Xu Baizhi took the carriage back to Xu's Mansion in Xishui Lane.

Mrs. Xu started from scratch and worked hard for more than 30 years before she saved a huge family business in the capital.

Now in the entire Xishui Lane, there is only one Xu family.

There are countless houses, buildings, and attics in Xu's mansion, and I heard that there is a lake with a good scenery inside.

"Where's my father?"

The little guy at the door didn't dare to look up, and bowed his head and replied, "The master is in Shuiyue Tower." ”

Xu Baizhi nodded, lifted the hem of her skirt, and walked straight towards Shuiyue Tower.

Shuiyue Tower is a two-story building with a good view in Xufu.

Looking at the lake from the window, the scenery is the best, there is rain today, the scenery is on a higher level.

Soon, Xu Baizhi came to Shuiyue Tower alone.

Push the door, lift the corner of the skirt, and slowly ascend to the second floor.

Mrs. Xu was sitting cross-legged on the couch by the window, with a small pear blossom case in front of her, a pot of bluegrass and a pot of hot tea on the case.

Since Xu Baizhi took over the reins of the family, Mrs. Xu's life is like this, he has no other hobbies, he prunes the bluegrass in his spare time, tastes tea, and looks at the scenery outside the window.

Hearing the sound, Mrs. Xu turned her head and saw who it was, so she showed a kind smile: "Bai Zhi is here, come and sit, sit." ”

Xu Baizhi blessed herself a little at the door to show courtesy, and trotted to Mrs. Xu, still like when she was a child.

Sitting opposite, Xu Baizhi poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip to quench her thirst and moisten her throat, and patted her panting chest.

"What's the matter, what did you like to do?"

Old lady Xu smiled, he knew his eldest daughter too well. If there is nothing to be happy about, she will definitely not be like this, looking at the current breathless appearance, I am afraid it is a great thing.

Xu Baizhi did not hide it, and told Mrs. Xu what happened on Guangshun Street at noon.

After Old Lady Xu found out, she frowned meaningfully, and said, "It's not you, is it the second girl who did it?" ”

The entire Xu Mansion is very opposed to Xu Fuji's selection as an imperial businessman.

Except, of course, the second uncle of the Xu family.

It wasn't the eldest daughter who did it, it was only the idea of the ghostly second daughter.

Xu Baizhi shook her head lightly and pouted at the corner of her mouth: "Bai Lu? I'm afraid it's not her, she's still sulking in her own room for her father to recruit a son-in-law for her so early. ”

Old Lady Xu also nodded after hearing this, stroked her beard by the way, and said with some sorrow: "Who will do it?" This matter is strange, the person behind the planning is clearly trying to smash our Xu Fu Chi's signboard and make our reputation stink, although he just took an old bartender to open the knife, but in front of the court, I am afraid that this time it will make a big mess. ”

On the other hand, Xu Baizhi didn't care at all, she touched the leaves of the orchid grass on the case with her fingers.

"It's better to make a big fuss, why should the foundation laid by my father be taken away by some inconsequential people."

"Now it's okay, we Xu Fuji don't have to be afraid of being worried about the emperor anymore."

"You, you." Old lady Xu pointed at Xu Baizhi and smiled: "Everyone else is thinking about how to be an imperial businessman, but it's good for you to think about how to avoid it." ”

"It's not the same with my father."

"That's it!" Old lady Xu looked out the window and said, "As a father a few years ago, I put the power in your hands, you can do it yourself." ”

The father and daughter looked at the rain outside the window together, the lake rippled, the duckweed gradually rose, and the two seemed to have really returned to their childhood.

"This matter has to be investigated in detail!"

After a long time, Old Lady Xu suddenly spoke.

Xu Baizhi sighed and said angrily: "Father still concentrates on watching the scene, just leave these things to his daughter to do." ”

Old lady Xu squinted her eyes, in this life, she can't finish her heart.

He looked at his eldest daughter, asked more, and said, "How is Wen Cheng there, is he getting better?" ”

Wen Cheng, Li Wencheng.

is Xu Baizhi's husband.

I don't know why, or God can't see the family happy.

Xu Baizhi's husband who has been married for five years actually got tuberculosis and coughed all day long.

Talking about Li Wencheng, Xu Baizhi's expression became indifferent.

She opened her mouth and said, "It's still the same, I invited a doctor to come over a few days ago, and I changed the prescription again, but the cough is getting worse day by day." ”

After that, Xu Baizhi stretched out her hand to support her forehead, very melancholy.

Old lady Xu didn't ask much, but said indifferently: "Did Dad do something wrong back then?" He shouldn't have been chosen. ”

Xu Baizhi pursed her lips, grabbed her father's hand, and shook her head: "It's not my father's fault. ”

Old lady Xu sighed and didn't speak for a long time.

In his eyes, there was only a curtain of rain outside the window.

……

Kwong Shun Street, Hsu Fu Chi, backyard.

Qian Dazhong was called to the backyard alone by Shopkeeper Liu, and he had a few words to explain.

Qian Dazhong was lame and limped, and he was bitten by the woman Chunxiu.

Shopkeeper Liu looked at the old man in front of him, and he was reluctant in his heart, but there was a trace of disgust in his heart.

Why do you want to go to the kiln when you are so old?

Shopkeeper Liu took out a few silver tickets from his cuffs and stuffed them into Qian Dazhong's hands.

Qian Dazhong was stunned, and looked up puzzled: "Shopkeeper, what does this mean?" ”

Shopkeeper Liu sighed helplessly: "Let's go, Xu Fuji can't tolerate you, leave early." ”

"Shopkeeper, I've been here for half my life, you can't do this."

"You still have the face to say? Today, you have caused a big disaster, let me protect you, if you don't leave, we will suffer from Xu Fuji on Guangshun Street. ”

Qian Dazhong held the silver ticket and shouted that he was wronged: "Shopkeeper, I am really wronged, today's incident, it is clear that someone has framed me." ”

Shopkeeper Liu didn't listen to these explanations, and he didn't want to listen to them.

Although he really wanted to find out what happened to this matter, the people above didn't want to, and the second uncle of the Xu family didn't want to.

He was also under pressure from above, so he had to drive away Qian Dazhong, if he didn't leave, he didn't know how Qian Dazhong died, just because he was alone, ruined Xu Fuji's entry into the imperial business.

If he is caught by the Xu family, he will not be able to pay back a hundred heads.

Qian Dazhong looked at the firm look on the face of the shopkeeper Liu, and then looked at the thick pile of silver tickets in his hand, sighed, and finally chose to compromise.

In fact, for him, this ending is not bad, at least there is a lot of money to settle in.

Simply packing his luggage, Qian Dazhong did not dare to go to the front door, but left through the back door of Xu Fuji with an umbrella.

This is the end of a generation of bartenders!

Holding an umbrella, Qian Dazhong walked on the street, feeling extremely depressed.

"Found it!"

There was a childish voice behind him, Qian Dazhong just wanted to look back, but it was dark in front of him, and then there was a burst of punches and kicks, and he didn't know what happened after that.

On a remote street, Xu Zhou and He Bao took down the sack on Qian Dazhong's head.

"Big brother, this is too ruthless, it's not necessary."

Xu Zhou didn't speak, kicked Qian Dazhong a few more times, and then left.
