Xu Song and Xu He didn't speak for a while, they were all eliminating the people who did it one by one.

But although he knows some inside information, it is a pity that the information is only superficial after all, and it is not helpful for judgment.

Since there is no way to figure it out, let's put it aside for the time being.

"Uncle, when you were in Beijing, did you hear of Gonggong Zheng?" Xu He was curious.

Xu Song shook his head: "The prince's house has almost no contact with our court officials, let alone eunuchs. This eunuch surnamed Zheng is estimated to be Lu Heng's mother, that is, the wife of the British duke, who serves by the eldest princess's side! The eldest princess is quite respected by His Majesty, and it is estimated that this relationship will end here! ”

Xu He nodded, although the eldest uncle had the same guess as himself, he always felt that things were not so simple, but the only thing that could be confirmed was that it was Lu Heng's help.

Thinking of this, he decided to write a letter to Lu Heng after he went back, asking about it, and by the way, he would send some stories about "Liao Zhai" in the past.

At this time, Xu Dai walked into Kong Huaitang with a smile and said, "Big brother, Liangsheng, go, I have prepared a table of wine, and I will wash the dust for Liangsheng!" ”

Xu Song wanted to refuse, at this time, it was not good to set up a table and drink, but when he thought of Xu He running around for so long, he said softly in his heart: "Okay, let Xiaohe catch the wind and wash the dust!" ”

A few people came to the table, and Xu He realized that the so-called banquet was a little cold.

The dignified Xu family, a family that can be said between the two Huai, now a banquet, the most meat dish is only one fish, and the rest are vegetarian dishes.

Xu Dai was stunned when he saw Xu He, rubbed his hands and said a little embarrassed: "Liangsheng, don't say that your second uncle treats you harshly!" The food at home has been pulled to the tea, and your uncle's two meals a day are all vegetarian dishes! ”

Xu He said with a smile: "Cooking mountain vegetables in the morning is beautiful, and rinsing the stone springs in the afternoon." Lu Fangweng lived to be 85 years old, he just likes vegetarianism, and it is good to be vegetarian, especially when he is older, it is better to be vegetarian! ”

Xu Dai was stunned when he heard this: "There is still this statement? The villagers spread that [eating meat to help the elderly], Liangsheng, your point of view is quite different from theirs! ”

Xu Song said at this time: "It's good to eat some vegetarian food, cook porridge with coarse grains every day, and moisten it after drinking and sleeping, don't feel uncomfortable!" In the past, I was used to eating big fish and meat, and I refluxed acid in my stomach every night! ”

After the three of them sat down, there was no toasting or other ceremony, they were all family, and it was good to be casual.

At the table, Xu Dai said excitedly: "Oh, Liangsheng, if you can come back a day earlier, you can watch a good show, Huang Dewang's house in the east of the village, hey......"

After that, he regretted again: "I want the second uncle to say, you, you are still too merciful, those big families who followed Huang Dewang behind him, pulled out and cut down, every wronged ......"

Before he finished his words, Xu Song glanced up at him.

Suddenly, Xu Dai smiled and said, "I won't say it, I won't say it!" ”

Xu Song said lightly: "What do you know?" Xiao He's very good move. ”

Xu Dai said disapprerovingly: "There is still knowledge here? ”

Xu Song smiled slightly and said: "If you have a lot of knowledge, I will say three, the grain of those big families has now entered Yongfeng Cang, although some of it has been allocated to the salt farm, but if something happens before the autumn harvest, what will the county take to support?" If the people are snatched away, Chen Hua will probably not be able to sleep well in the next few months! ”

When Xu Dai heard this, he suddenly realized: "Take precautions, what else?" Eldest brother! ”

Xu Song said: "It's all local, and it's ruthless to offend others, what's the benefit of our Xu family?" ”

Xu Dai patted his thigh and said: "That's right, I heard that the son of the old He family in the north of the city is now the son of the Shaanxi political envoy!" That's also an official from the sixth grade! ”

Xu Song nodded and said: "Also, when the time comes, Chen Hua will explain the response to the flood in Hailing, if only the Xu family gives porridge and relief in his recital, and all the other big families are rich and unkind, what will the court think?" ”

Xu Dai was frightened into a cold sweat by the eldest brother's words, and whispered: "I will think that our Xu family invites people to buy people's hearts and collude with the local government." ”

"Therefore, being kind to others is also being kind to yourself, don't think about doing everything, you, the biggest problem is here, if you follow your heart, you will dig out your heart, if you don't follow your heart, you will put it on your face, and you want to get rid of it quickly! Think about it! ”

Xu Dai was reprimanded by his eldest brother in front of his juniors, but thinking about it, this is really the case.

For example, this time, he was moved by the strength of the stoves, and he couldn't wait to take out all the brains that he could eat at home to others.

But it turns out that it was because he didn't plan before, that the food is now unsustainable.

If Xu He hadn't gotten the food, in a few days, maybe he would have to do bad things with good intentions, not only would people not think of his goodness, but maybe they would suspect him of becoming a picker.

Thinking of this, Xu Dai shook his head with a wry smile and said: "No wonder eldest brother, you said in your early years that I can only be a minor official as an official, indeed, if I am in charge of the party, something will definitely happen." ”

The elders spoke, and Xu He put down the dishes and chopsticks to listen.

Xu Song's evaluation of Xu Dai is indeed very pertinent.

However, Xu Song still has one less thing to say about dealing with large households.

That is to prevent the main thing called Huang Wangwang from looking for trouble in the future.

aimed at the Huang family, one is to clear the scourge of hiding in the shadows and waiting for trouble for him, and the other is to help Lao Hu solve the trouble.

Why are some of the big families rich?

In this era, they can be mixed like this more or less because of the background.

And Xu He let them go by a yard, so that they could unite and use the background behind them to not only make the Huang family stink, but also rely on the Huang family, and the head of the household department, Huang Wang, will continue to do it.

Incumbent officials, conniving at their families, and abusing the township, are to be suspended from their posts and pending participation.

And even if it's okay, your future career will be greatly affected.

Just imagine, you are honest and honest, but your family is bullying people in your hometown, and if you say it, the reputation of officialdom and Shilin will stink!

When Lao Hu asked him for help, he couldn't take care of Huang, who was thousands of miles away.

But I'm sorry, if your family dies, then you can only be jointly and severally liable.

"What should I do after the tea? Now the food from the government has arrived! Our fields and canals haven't been repaired yet? Also, irrigation and washing of the ground also require manpower, and when the cooks leave, this field will be put there half-hung? "Xu Dai is most concerned about his field now.

Before Xu Song could speak, Xu He replied first: "Second uncle, although there is no canal irrigation on this day, our water town will not be too far from the river!" The hard work of farming is to organize the strong men to repair the canals by themselves in their spare time! ”

Xu Dai was surprised: "What? That's half of it, don't do it? ”

Xu He nodded and said, "We did this before, it was called cash-for-work, if you still do it now?" Let's not talk about food first, just when the cooks are willing to help you repair the canal, what will the outside say about our family at that time? ”

Before Xu Dai could figure it out, Xu He said, "Ask for retribution!" ”
