The sun is three poles, and the sun is very hot.

The weather in Ling'an Mansion is like this, in winter, noon makes you feel like you are in the middle of summer. But the morning and evening winds are as sharp as knives, and the temperature is as low as being in an ice cellar.

Xu Changan walked to the door of the Zhao Mansion under the scorching sun.

The door of Zhao's mansion was covered with white cloth, and it was still at the door, so I could hear the voices of people inside, Xu Changan turned his head to look, and many wealthy businessmen and magnates gathered together to mourn for Mrs. Zhao.

However, although their faces were sad, the affairs between merchants could not be seen by their faces.

Maybe at this time, his eyes were hazy with tears and his face was full of sadness, but he was thinking about how to swallow the Zhao family, which was only left with orphans and widows.

However, Xu Changan is rarely in charge of these things.

He just wanted to step into the Zhao Mansion, but was stopped by two miscellaneous servants.

"The Zhao Mansion was mourned, and the idlers retreated. Xu Changan frowned, he obviously saw a young man in a gorgeous costume swaggering into the Zhao Mansion just now, and he didn't see anyone stopping him.

"I'm a friend of Old Madam Zhao. ”

The handyman glanced at Xu Changan with slanted eyes, and then turned to the side, not bothering to look at him.

Xu Changan didn't understand what this miscellaneous servant meant, and he didn't care about this miscellaneous servant, so he walked in directly.

After only two steps, the handyman said lazily, "What's the matter, don't you listen to persuasion?" As soon as the words fell, two sticks were placed in front of him.

The handyman walked up and said, "Do you know where this is? This is the Zhao family!" After that, he pointed to the 100 meters ahead, where the figures were scattered, and there was a faint sadness and music.

Xu Changan didn't speak, but he didn't retreat either.

"The largest Zhao family in Ling'an Mansion, the current head of the Zhao family, Mrs. Zhao, is your friend?

Xu Changan frowned slightly.

He was already handsome, fair-skinned, and his frowning brows looked so good-looking, although he wore a coarse cloth dress, he was not the slightest bit tacky.

The longer you cultivate, the more dusty your temperament becomes.

"Are you still frowning? If you say that you are the little white face of the prince, there is still some truth, the old lady has lived in a simple house for more than ten years, when did you meet her?

Xu Changan was slightly angry, he didn't say a word, but the other party chattered.

This person seems to be more broken and annoying than Chai Xintong.

"Get out of the way!" Xu Changan said in a low voice.

But the two sticks had no intention of taking them away, and instead quite a few handymen rushed towards them.

They all took sticks, lined up in two rows, and made a way, and a middle-aged man walked over, with two locks of beard on his mouth, bowed down, and walked over with his hands behind his back.

"What's going on, what's going on?"

The handyman who had stopped Xu Changan before immediately bowed and said, "Steward Zhao, this person said that he was a friend of Old Madam Zhao, so he had to come in." ”

The man's beard was cocked.

"When did you meet Madame?"

Xu Changan replied honestly: "Last night." ”

Steward Zhao laughed: "The lady you knew last night?" Then a trace of hideous color appeared on his face: "Fight out!"

At this time, two people happened to pass by the door. They all carried filial piety cloth and kept their heads bowed. When Steward Zhao saw the two of them, he immediately beckoned and greeted them with a smiling face.

"Yo, isn't this Junior Master Gui and Junior Master Mu, where are the two of you going?"

Gui Sheng was slightly displeased.

"Steward Zhao, why is it so noisy?"

Steward Zhao immediately smiled and said: "A kid who doesn't know the height of the sky wants to break into the Zhao family, a trivial matter, a trivial matter." ”

Gui Sheng beckoned, and the people surrounding Xu Changan dispersed.

Gui Sheng was stunned and taken aback, he didn't expect to see Xu Changan today.

A thought turned in his heart: "Could it be that this kid came to find Zhao Ergongzi?"

Although he knew that Xu Changan was not simple, he didn't know the real gap between Xu Changan and them. People are often like this, they feel that most of their conditions are similar to others, but when they are treated differently, they will always have a strong sense of jealousy.

But if he really understands the gap between himself and others, he will look up to him.

Envy and arrogance often stem from ignorance.

Gui Sheng put away his emotions very well, but Mu Qing was a little surprised.

"Could it be that the two masters know this person?"

Gui Sheng gritted his teeth and made up his mind that Xu Changan was not allowed to see Zhao Ergongzi today: "I don't know, you also know that the Zhao family has a big business, and there are always some people who come to climb relatives indiscriminately, give him a few taels of silver, and send him away." ”

He always thought that Xu Changan was here to please Zhao Ergongzi. After all, no matter how high the kung fu is, it is difficult to move an inch without money.

A trace of consternation flashed on Xu Changan's face, and he didn't speak, watching the two walk away.

Steward Zhao glanced at Xu Chang'an and said, "Look at what, then, hurry up and get out, the Zhao family has a big event today, don't come to make trouble." ”

Xu Changan looked at the few taels of silver that Steward Zhao threw on the ground, and was a little angry: "I am from the Confucius Temple." ”

After all, he is the housekeeper of the Zhao family, and the Confucius Temple itself is in charge of some things that the government can't handle, so the Zhao housekeeper naturally knows the Confucius Temple, and has heard of the people in the Confucius Temple.

And as far as Chai Xintong's reputation in Dechun Building is concerned, there are few wealthy businessmen and dignitaries who don't know Chai Xintong.

"Are you from the Confucius Temple? I'm still Mr. Chai Xintong's master? What are you kidding? If you want to deceive people, you have to find a better reason. ”

Steward Zhao waved his hand impatiently: "Blast, break a leg!"

......

Not far away, Chai Xintong and Xiao Tong each held a string of rock sugar gourds, and they squatted at the foot of the tree and looked at Xu Changan.

"Little sir, will Xu Gongzi be fine?"

Chai Xintong took a bite of the rock sugar gourd, seemed to have some sour teeth, and handed the rest to the child. He casually removed a branch, picked his teeth and said: "You underestimate him, he is not much lower than your little gentleman, if he can't teach this person, there is still a need for this Shushan to exist?"

The little boy lowered his head and ate the rock sugar gourd, ignoring Chai Xintong. Chai Xintong patted him on the head, and Xiao Tong covered his head aggrievedly: "Little sir, what's wrong?"

"What's the matter? We came out to look at this stunned blue-headed, you only know how to eat!" he said, regardless of whether there was sugar on his hands or not, and pinched the little boy's slightly chubby face.

"Isn't Gongzi Xu going to be fine?"

Chai Xintong saw that the miscellaneous servants in the distance had already picked up the sticks and hit Xu Changan, he grabbed the little boy's ear, and didn't care about the little boy's screams when he was in pain, and walked towards the Zhao Mansion.

"Tell you to read more books, and you like to go and herd pigs with the children in the next village every day. I was stunned, I was afraid that he would really slaughter the Zhao family if he didn't pay attention. ”

was dragged by Chai Xintong like this, and the rock sugar gourd in Xiao Tong's hand also fell, and what he couldn't figure out was: "What does Young Master Xu have to do with him reading books and herding pigs?"

......

Steward Zhao looked at the family who was sleeping on the ground and wailing with his legs, fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on his head, he really didn't expect a person to come out casually, and more than a dozen handymen fell to the ground without seeing the figure clearly.

At this time, a white-robed young man came in the distance and walked over with a child, Steward Zhao saw it from a distance, his eyes lit up with hope, and he immediately trotted over: "Mr. Chai, someone is pretending to be a member of the Confucius Temple." ”

Chai Xintong didn't speak, and Xiao Tong glanced at this Steward Zhao with sympathy.

Chai Xintong directly crossed Steward Zhao and bowed to Xu Changan in Steward Zhao's stunned eyes: "I've seen Mr. Xu." As soon as Chai Xintong came out like this, not only Steward Zhao opened his mouth in surprise, but even Xu Changan and Xiao Tong were stunned by Chai Xintong.

The corners of Chai Xintong's mouth curled in a beautiful arc, and he made a "please" gesture towards Xu Changan, and then glanced at Steward Zhao: "Can we go in?"

At this time, Steward Zhao not only had fine beads of sweat on his head, but even his legs were trembling.

"When...... While...... Correct...... Please ......"

Steward Zhao ran and climbed in front to lead the way, pulled his neck long, and shouted out of breath: "Gui...... "The second son of Zhao is kneeling in front of the spirit, and Steward Zhao is extremely rude with such a voice, and people who don't know think they are doing a happy event.

Even the Ling'an Mansion Lord sent someone to come and never roared like this.

His face immediately became gloomy, and even Old Madam Zhao's face changed.

But when everyone saw the three figures at the door, they all felt that they should be, and even the others looked up to the Zhao family a few points.

Although they have not seen the legends of taking people's heads thousands of miles away, the Holy Dynasty has set up such an institution, and its power is faintly beyond the lord of the house, and on this basis, they merchants have to be full of awe of the Confucius Temple and the people of the Confucius Temple.

When the old lady of the Zhao family saw Xu Chang'an, she immediately stood up and bowed deeply: "The old man thanked the son." ”

Xu Chang'an's sleeves were gently passed, and the old lady of the Zhao family felt an invisible force and helped her up.

"Has Old Madam Zhao not taken care of the affairs of the Zhao family for many years?" Xu Changan didn't have any greetings, and went straight to the point. Now he is a little more impatient than he is in Shushan, and the more things he knows, the less he can be as heartless and happy as Chongqian.

He learned to think and think a lot.

Why did Taishi Fu ask him to come to Ling'an Mansion, but there was a general mound in Ling'an Mansion. He had to believe that Master Fu knew a lot, including those arrangements, and it was even possible to know where Uncle Shi was.

There were a lot of questions in my heart, so I became impatient, especially after listening to the story of the old head of the Zhao family.

The old lady of the Zhao family nodded.

"The old man hasn't been to the outer courtyard for more than ten years, if it weren't for something happening to the master, it is estimated that he would not have taken a step in his life. ”

After last night's meeting and rumors, Xu Changan admired the old lady a little, so he came up and asked such a question.

Then he looked at Zhao Ergongzi.

Zhao Ergongzi's heart trembled, although he was the son of the Zhao family, but he not only teased Xu Changan, but even wanted to take him into his tent, these things are really a bit of a bastard.

Zhao Ergongzi lowered his head.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you ......"

Xu Changan interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "I didn't come today because of the matter of Dechun Tower. ”

Zhao Ergongzi breathed a sigh of relief, although the surrounding guests didn't know Xu Chang'an, but seeing Chai Xintong beside Xu Chang'an and Xu Chang'an's attitude towards Zhao Ergongzi, they immediately retreated slightly, looking at the attitude of the people in the Confucius Temple towards the Zhao family, they seemed to be distancing themselves from the Zhao family.

"I'm here today because I have two questions to ask Second Prince Zhao. First, whether the Zhao family invited Wang Xiaoming to your mansion in the name of world friends. Second, whether the Zhao family has taken Wang Xiaoming's things. ”

Hearing these two questions, Zhao Ergongzi's heart trembled, and his hands trembled slightly.

Chai Xintong glanced at Zhao Ergongzi, then looked at Xu Changan, who was expressionless but very serious, sighed, and then asked: "I have a third question, Steward Zhao, can't I enter the gate of your Zhao family's Confucius Temple!"

Since you want to ask, and don't knock on the side, then it seems stingy, vicious, and it is best to scare out.

When Steward Zhao heard this, he knelt on the ground with a "poof".

"Two masters, ask for two masters Haihan!"
