Chang'an City, Xu Mansion.

As the Duke of Wei who followed Taizu to conquer the country, he naturally deserved a good treatment, so Taizu gave Xu Tiande a mansion located in the palace, but the mansions next to the palace were all small and pitiful, such as the Yang Mansion that seemed to be very large but was unknown in Chang'an City.

However, as Xu Tiande, who grew up with Taizu and followed Taizu to death at the age of eighteen, Taizu still felt indebted, and took the opportunity of marrying Xu Tiande's most precious eldest daughter to his fourth son, and divided most of the houses around the palace into Xu's mansion, completely ignoring the folds that flew like snowflakes on the table in the imperial study.

The Duke of Wei Guo, who is almost old, Xu Tiande sits firmly on the Taishi chair, and the old man who has just enjoyed the family fun of his grandson is now extremely satisfied.

With a cane in his hand, Xu Tiande slowly walked in this huge courtyard, not far away, several maids did not dare to step forward, so they had to lower their heads and put their hands on their stomachs, expecting that the old man would not move for a long time.

Xu Tiande walked at a celebration banquet of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, and Taizu drank wine and lost to his courtyard, and the white-haired Xu Tiande was full of emotion in his heart.

What is the mansion that he married his eldest daughter out of is nonsense, obviously he drank and lost to his own Taizu played a trick and sent his most distressed eldest daughter into the Yanwang Mansion.

"Come out. ”

Walking behind the old man in the moonlight, a man with a somewhat similar appearance walked out. The man was dressed in an official uniform produced by the Weaving Bureau of the Palace, threw his hat to the maid who served on the side, trotted to the old man's side, respectfully held the old man's hand without a cane, and strolled through the courtyard with the old man.

"Huizu, tell the old man about the recent movements in the court. ”

The old man, who had long since withdrawn from the imperial court, asked about the recent big things for the first time, and replied cautiously in the court with the eldest son of Wei Guogong, whose father was the eldest son of Wei Guogong.

"Dad, it's okay, except for the matter between Lord Yang and Zhang Shoupu a few days ago, the court has been peaceful. ”

Listening to his eldest son's answer, Xu Tiande struggled to pick up the crutches in his hand and hit Xu Huizu, "You are unproductive, do you really think that your father is confused?

Xu Huizu protected his head, but he didn't dare to dodge, so he had to accept his father's scolding. The old man was tired, put down his crutches, covered his heart, and gasped.

Seeing this, Xu Huizu hurriedly helped his father, put it on the chair next to him, took a cup of tea from the hand of the maid next to him, and put it into his father's mouth.

The old man drank tea, "I really thought you were just a smart person, and secretly went to Yanwang's Mansion to ask about my eldest sister, but I didn't even see you." ”

"I was kicked out, and I secretly ran to Yang's mansion. ”

Speaking of this, the old man paused slightly, "If you do this, outsiders will think that my Xu family has formed an alliance with Yang Zhao." ”

Xu Huizu was a little weak-hearted, "No, I'll go once." ”

The old man slapped his eldest son's head, and Xu Huizu, who was in pain, screamed.

"I don't care how many times you usually go, and I can't care about it, but recently you sent someone to the Yushitai to deliver a letter with your own guilt written on it, the more you remember, the better, but don't write it all, and write it if you don't find it serious. ”

As the saying goes, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the sons of mice will make holes. As Xu Tiande's son, he is naturally not a stupid person, and Xu Huizu immediately figured out the key.

"Dad, your trick is wonderful, this trick of self-blackening is really high. ”

Knowing that his son slapped his ass, but he still couldn't help laughing, the old man touched his beard that had just been pulled by his grandson and continued.

"Huizu, don't think that Dad is confused, learn a little, why Taizu favored your father and me alone back then, it makes sense. ”

Xu Huizu, who continued to pat himself on the side, had no choice but to nod and respond to the old man's words.

"Dad, what do you say the second and third brothers are doing in the border army now. ”

The old man sighed slightly, looked in the direction of the north, and was still a little worried.

"The second brother is not worried, his skills have been put to use, and your second uncle will take care of it when he gets to the north. ”

"It's the third child, I was asked by your eldest brother-in-law, and I heard that it is not a good thing to enter the guards of Yanwangfu. ”

Xu Huizu has always been in contact with the eldest sister through his third brother, and now he subconsciously wants to say something for the third brother.

"Dad, it's a good thing that the third brother has entered the guards of Yanwang's Mansion, and he can dismiss the eldest brother-in-law, which is not good. ”

The old man found that his eldest son was still as stupid as ever, and it seemed that the idea of handing over the family business to him should be taken away for the time being. The old man slapped his eldest son's buttocks with a cane, "Let's go and see my grandson, I've been reading you for a day before I came back." ”

As soon as he mentioned his grandson, there was a smile on his face, and the old man sent away his eldest son, who wanted to see his son, and it was rare to be quiet. The old man took the cane to the maid beside him, took out his most precious Buddhist bead from the maid's hand, and slowly turned it in his hand.

The old man who killed countless people in one fell swoop, and when he broke through the capital of Great Wei, he was old, and finally remembered that he had killed too much, so in his later years, the old man who drank the strongest wine and ate the freshest meat on weekdays built a Buddhist hall next to the ancestral hall of his family.

On weekdays, when there is nothing to do, the old man will go there to atone for his sins.

After shielding the maids around him, the old man muttered in a voice that he could hear: "The third child came to sit with me for a long time before entering the Yanwang Mansion, but I ignored him, and I don't know if this kid will hold a grudge." ”

"A hundred-year-old family, the most important thing is to stand in line, but I, Xu Tiande and Taizu's lifelong brothers, can't do it, can't do it. ”

"If you do it, when the time comes, you won't have the face to go down to see my brother. But for the sake of the Xu family, for the sake of my grandson and son, I can't do nothing. ”

"Maybe this is the difficulty of both loyalty and filial piety, but old brother, you let my eldest daughter marry your fourth son, do you really think that Tiande I don't know what the intention is?"

"I understand it, but Tiande, how can I make it difficult for your most beloved grandson. ”

"I wish my old bones could do something for him. ”

While speaking, the Buddhist beads in the hands of some tired old men did not rotate and slowly fell asleep. And Xu Huizu, who went and returned, originally wanted to ask his father about the unfinished questions just now, but when he came back, he saw his father lying on the chair, already asleep.

Xu Huizu took off his robe, came to his father's side, and gently covered it to prevent his father from catching a cold.

The corner of the sleeping old man's mouth smiled slightly, and the old man who was not sleeping soundly felt his son's movements, and finally fell into a deep sleep.

After doing all this, Xu Huizu sat at the foot of the steps on the side, looked at his father's gray hair, and touched the beard on his chin, it turned out that he was no longer young, and his father was no longer in his prime.

Back then, he and his second brother and third brother were naughty, and they were tied to a bench by their father, who had just returned from victory, stripped off their pants, and whipped them a few times, and their skin was open.

And Taizu, who was on a private visit with Weifu at that time, saw this, just stood aside and laughed secretly, and did not show up. How did he know that he was Taizu at that time, and he was not wearing a royal robe, he only thought he was a guest who came to visit, and smiled at Taizu.

Taizu, who was hiding on the side, was slightly stunned when he saw this, strode out, stopped Xu Tiande, who was about to beat someone, and personally drugged himself, so scared that Xu Tiande did not break his head. At that time, he held Taizu's hand at will, thinking that Taizu was an ordinary doctor, and asked him to lighten it.

Xu Huizu scratched his head a little embarrassed, and then looked back at his side, there were no more second brother and third brother.

Thinking about the son who just coaxed him to sleep, it turns out that he is also a father.

Tomorrow, I will bring the best wine I stole from my father's wine store to see the third brother, and then see if the third brother's alcohol consumption has grown.

At the same time, Wang Yi and the people of the dart bureau left Ganzhou City and went to Xiangzhou, one step closer to Chang'an.

On the border of Shuzhou, there was a swordsman with a wine pot hanging from his waist, carrying his own long sword, and one person and one sword stepped into Shu again.

The last time he came here, he killed countless thieves with one person and one sword.

Entering Shu today, he wants to see how the sword path of the people of the Great Ming Demon Sect is.
