Chapter 53: Counterattack
After the three patriarchs of the small clan left, Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The status of these three small clans is second only to the three major families.
Even so, the combined population of the three of them could only barely compete with the Yin family.
After all, the population of the three major families accounts for two-thirds of Xinyi.
"This Xinyi is really mixed. A small Gongyi, there are seven or eight families...... Xin smiled bitterly, this is all because his ancestors have been gentlemen for generations, as long as they defect to Xinyi's family, they will not refuse!
In other cities, there are basically only one or two, and at most three or four families.
Most of them are in a single family.
"Zuo, go and call Xiao Wu." Xin shouted again, his face not very pretty.
As soon as Osaku went out, Hara Shou and Hara walked in.
"Gentleman of Xinyi." Yuan Shouguo said hello.
"Sikong-sama! Come in! Xin hurriedly saluted Yuan Shou again.
"Hey, don't be so formal, I'm just here to tell you, I see that the road is basically clear, and I'm ready to leave early tomorrow morning." Haraju aisle.
"Lord Sikong is really a pillar of the country, so I won't keep the adult anymore, after all, state affairs are important." Xin said again.
Yuan Shouguo nodded: "It's not a secret, if I have time, I really want to discuss math and some created French styles with the gentleman." ”
"If I have a chance in the future, I will definitely go to the royal capital to visit Lord Sikong." Xin said again.
"I have also heard a little about what the gentleman did in the village school yesterday." Yuan Shouguo laughed.
It turned out that Hara was hiding in the corner of the township school, and wrote down the whole process and told it to Haraju.
"Oh...... There is no way to manage the city, which makes Lord Sikong laugh. Xin smiled bitterly.
Yuan Shouguo smiled slightly: "Gentlemen don't have to mind, such things happen everywhere." However, the gentleman dealt with this matter yesterday, quickly and neatly, and forced the third elder to hand over his right to do business, which really makes me admire. ”
"It's also a helpless strategy, and in the end, everyone just takes a step back." Xin said again.
Fan Boyu is still the teacher, and Fan Mi is still Situ.
In Xin's opinion, he had taken a step back.
In the eyes of others, Xin has once again gained the upper hand.
"Next year will be the triennial big competition in the township, Situ Chengyu of Muxiang has an old friend with me, and I can recommend a gentleman to him when the time comes." After Yuan Shouguo finished speaking, he hesitated again: "But your Muxiang is the same as Xinyi, there are many family forces, and Chengyu also has many concerns, so I can only try my best to speak for the gentleman." ”
"Thank you so much, Lord Sikong!"
Xin hurriedly returned the salute again.
If you can be recommended in the township competition and become a "gentleman", you can directly serve the Son of Heaven.
Even a small historian is above the temple.
The opportunities there are much better than staying in Xinyi!
seemed to feel that he couldn't stand the son of this old man, and Yuan Shouguo took out a palm-sized jade from his arms.
"This jade is my token, if Xinyi encounters any difficulties, you can use this jade to find Situ Chengyu in your Muxiang."
Xin took the jade bi again and carefully put it away.
He knew that the reason why Yuan Shou Guo was like this was definitely not because he helped Yuan Shou Guo pull the carriage out.
It's because his dead cheap daddy Xin is not sick.
Maybe it's also because of the two-wheeled carriage he made.
In short, Yuan Shouguo is very optimistic about Xin, but as a foreign court, he can't directly meddle in Xinyi's affairs, so he can't help much.
"As for the matter of making Xinyi a Zhou city, I think it shouldn't be a problem to have a double-wheel oxcart as a tribute." Haraju aisle.
After that, Yuan Shou Guo said goodbye to Xin You, and returned to his house, ready to leave tomorrow.
As soon as Yuan Shou Guo left, Yu Zuo came in with Xiao Wu.
Xin sat in the hall again, Xiao Wu just wanted to step forward, Xin said sharply: "Kneel down for me!" ”
Xiao Wu shuddered and knelt directly in the courtyard.
"Little Wu, do you know why I want you to kneel in the courtyard?" Xin asked again.
Xiao Wu hung his head, and it took a while to squeeze out two words from between his teeth: "I know ......"
"Do you think I'm doing the right thing?"
"Xiao Wu betrayed the gentleman, the gentleman can punish me however he wants."
Xin didn't speak again, but looked at Xiao Wu outside.
Yu Zuo is confused, what's wrong with this little five? How did he betray the gentleman?
Fang was in the township school, and Xin Wuzuo originally wanted to work with Fan Mi and Yin Rong to oppose Xin's distribution of grain to the countrymen.
But a sentence from a Xin's disciple made Xin Wuzuo indifferent.
In the end, what happened in the entire township school did not affect Xin Wuzuo at all.
This matter is very strange, and Xin suspected Xiao Wu from the first time.
Xin Wuzuo heard anything, and he didn't have to think about it.
Someone must have told him or the hard work behind him about the fact that he had gathered enough food.
Since there is already food, no matter how much the three elders oppose it, it can only increase the disgust of the countrymen.
Xin Duan received the news as soon as possible, so he asked someone to tell Xin Wuzuo and asked him not to act rashly.
Sure enough, the Fan family and the Yin family stood on the opposite side of the Chinese people in this national discussion.
The only one who knows how much food Xin has borrowed and can tell Xin Duan the news is Xiao Wu.
This is not a big deal, and Xin is not ready to take Xin Wuzuo for surgery.
But Xin couldn't tolerate having a hard spy by his side.
"Tell me, did Xin Duan ask you to report the situation of the business, or did you take the initiative to go yourself?" Xin said again.
"I'm going there myself." Xiao Wu answered truthfully.
For some reason, Xiao Wu always had a feeling that he would always be found out if he lied in front of Xin Di.
So he chose to tell the truth.
"I went on my own...... That's not bad. Xin said again.
Xiao Wu raised his head, and Xin You's words made him a little confused.
"You were raised by your uncle since you were a child, and it is natural for you to want to help him." Xin said: "If you want to go by yourself, it means that you are only because of filial piety." If I had asked you to go, then I wouldn't have been able to keep you here. ”
Xiao Wu told Xin Duan the details of his liquor sales, which was actually expected by Xin You.
Xiao Wu has been with Xin Duan for so many years, if he doesn't even care about this kindness, and sees Xin Duan suffering, it also means that Xiao Wu is just a person with a cold nature.
Xiao Wu went to tell Xin Duan the details of selling wine by himself, just out of his concern for Xin Quan, which shows that Xiao Wu's nature is not bad.
If Xin Duan took the initiative to find Xiao Wu to investigate, and Xiao Wu Wu and Wu 10 said it.
There are two scenarios.
Either Xiao Wu still regards himself as a hard-working person.
Either Xiao Wu has some handle in Xin Quan's hands.
In either case, Xin didn't like it.
"Gentleman...... Uncle has no ill will towards the gentleman, he has also helped the gentleman a lot, we are both members of the Xin clan, don't fight anymore......"
Xiao Wu said sincerely.
In fact, he had been observing Xin again for so many days.
This doctor is not as high as he imagined before, and he does not eat the fireworks of the world.
Xin is smarter and more courageous than his junior.
And he is willing to share his interests with the people.
These things are all things that hard work, Fan Mi and the like can't do.
With Azure Wine alone, Xiao Wu already felt that Xinyi would get better in the future.
So he had already made up his mind to follow Xin again.
It's just that over there is the hard work of nurturing grace, if the two have a conflict, who should they help?
Xiao Wu didn't know.
He could only pray for reconciliation with Xindu.
"Did you say that to Xin Quan?" Xin said again.
"Said ......"
"And what did he say?"
Uncle said...... It is enough for Xin to have him alone......"
Xiao Wu lowered his head, he knew that after this sentence was said, the contradiction between Xin and Xin Duan would not be easy to reconcile.
"Hey...... I don't blame you all for this. Xin sighed again.
Some memories of the past came back to my mind.
If you talk about the contribution to the Xin family in recent years, the large sect where Xin is located is really not as good as the small sect of Xin Duan.
Xin never denied this.
There is no denying it either.
