Chapter 128: The Old Man's Change
"Coming back? I heard that there is a new head catcher in your yamen today? ”
The old man looked at Xu Rong with some concern in his eyes.
He knew very well what Xu Rong had done, and naturally he knew that his grandson was promising, and he was really getting ahead.
It's just that Xu Rong is young after all, and the old man is a little worried that he will clash with the newcomer because of power issues.
In officialdom, it is not necessary to be capable, but the background and behavior are very important.
If a person often does things that disrespect his boss and overrides his boss, will others dare to promote him?
The answer is obvious, no one wants such a subordinate unless they have other plans, or they have a bag on their head.
"Master, don't worry, I know the measure, and at the same time I understand the thoughts of the county magistrate, I will handle this matter well, and there will be no other things."
Xu Rong didn't want to talk about this at home, so as not to worry the old man, so he changed the conversation.
"Master, how are you practicing the Black Snake Transformation Jiao Fist?"
Speaking of this, the old man stood up from the recliner and moved his muscles.
"Since practicing this Black Snake Transformation Jiao Boxing, my legs and feet are becoming more and more neat now, and my energy is getting more and more vigorous, as if I am more than ten years younger."
Xu Rong looked at the old man carefully, compared to before, the furrows on the old man's face were much lighter, his skin began to tighten, his complexion was ruddy, and his gray hair became black and white.
If you don't look at it every day, you will definitely find that it has changed dramatically, and it is indeed many years younger.
Such a result is exactly what Xu Rong wants to see.
"Since it has an effect, then grandpa, you have to insist on practicing, with your body and bones, maybe you can beat a few young guys at that time."
Xu Rong's words made the old man couldn't help laughing.
Then the old man said seriously: "Speaking of which, my martial arts have recovered a lot now, and I can really deal with idlers!" ”
The cultivation of the physical body realm is all in the physical body, and when the old age and body are decrepit, the qi and blood decay, and most of the martial arts will naturally be abolished.
Now that the old man's physical fitness has recovered a lot, his martial arts will naturally come back.
Even because of experience, his skills are a little more powerful than when he was younger.
Seeing all the changes in the old man's body, Xu Rong was very satisfied, and it was not in vain that he deliberately gave the big black snake to the old man.
"By the way, Xu Mo came here once before, saying that he was looking for you for something, but you happened to be away, and he said that he would come again in the evening."
Hearing this, Xu Rong raised his eyebrows: "Master, do you know what the matter is?" ”
Xu Mo has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and if it is not something important, there is a high probability that the old man will convey it.
Only this time the old man shook his head and said that he didn't know, proving that this matter was not ordinary.
"Then wait until he comes in the evening."
Xu Rong sighed slightly, "Xiao Xing, prepare a few more dishes tonight, there are guests coming." ”
"Got it, young master."
Xiao Xing heard the order, so she left to prepare.
"After having Xiaoxing and Xiaolan, you don't have to worry about the trivial things at home."
The old man sighed, and then suddenly said, "Ah Rong, when do you plan to get married?" ”
"Master, why did you suddenly talk about this?"
Xu Rong didn't expect that he would face marriage urging so early.
In his previous life, he was only after the age of twenty-six that he had to face the embarrassing situation of urging marriage, so that he didn't want to go home to face the nagging of his family and relatives during the Chinese New Year.
And now that he is only sixteen years old, he is facing a marriage urging, which is a bit outrageous.
The old man looked at Xu Rong's face and knew what he thought.
"People start a family first, and then start a business, and now you can be regarded as having a successful career, plus you are seventeen years old after the New Year this year, and Mao is eighteen, it is time to start a family."
"With your current status, you are asking to marry the daughters of those high-ranking officials, and with your potential, there is a high probability that people will agree."
In the old man's concept, at this age, Zhang Luo should have started a family a long time ago, but Xu Rong has been busy all the time, and he doesn't seem to have this idea.
Xu Rong sighed in his heart, and quickly organized the words in his mind.
"Master, I'm not in a hurry about this marriage, and there's no need to be too early."
The old man was about to continue to persuade, but he saw Xu Rong say seriously: "You listen to me finish speaking." ”
Clearing his throat, Xu Rong said: "Think about it, with my current age, coupled with the appreciation of the county order, and even the appreciation of the people of the Demon Suppression Division before, it is estimated that I will be able to be promoted in a year or two, and maybe I will go directly to the county." ”
"In this way, my status is different, how can my wife help me now?"
"There are not many people in this city who can speak in the county town, and people may not be able to take a fancy to me at this time."
After listening to Xu Rong's words, the old man had to agree.
Because what Xu Rong said is very reasonable, and Xu Rong has no background, if the woman's family can't help him, it is indeed not suitable to get married.
A girl from a good family can save Xu Rong countless troubles.
Thinking of this, the old man also sighed: "You just have to know it in your heart, and our family is indeed from a poor background, so we can't help you, otherwise you don't need to think about so many things." ”
Xu Rong smiled: "Master, your ability to take me in is already the greatest kindness to me." ”
His words were just a rhetoric that he didn't want to get married.
A person can live a chic life, why should he find a burden?
With a family, many things have to be looked forward to, and he doesn't want that kind of life.
Even if you want to get married in the future, you can find a strong woman who can go hand in hand together.
It can only be said that the two have different concepts.
The old man shook his head: "Since you know it in your heart, I won't talk much, but you still have something in mind about it." ”
"Master, you don't have to worry, if you have the ability, you're afraid that you won't be able to marry a daughter-in-law?"
Xu Rong's words made the old man feel that this was indeed the case, as long as Xu Rong continued to be promoted, others would only keep pushing women on him.
"Young master, the head of the Xu Mo family is here."
Xiaolan walked over quickly and reported the news.
Xu Rong bowed slightly: "Master, I'll go to the door to greet you, so as not to let others say that I take it big." ”
"Go ahead, but he should have something important to look for, and you should think more about everything, and don't be deceived."
The old man was a little uneasy.
Xu Rong nodded: "Don't worry, I have also dealt with a lot of old foxes, so I won't be so easy to suffer." ”
"That's good."
