Chapter 532: Begging for Silver
In this way, Xu Yao and Geng Xian are even more masters and apprentices, and they are in good love. After several twists and turns, the Geng family finally found a good teacher, which was originally a happy event, but since receiving a letter from Wuling County a few days ago, the Geng family has been frowning all day long, sighing.
It turned out that Geng's deceased husband was a child of a big family in his early years, but his qualifications were not good, and he fell in love with the daughter of an ordinary family, so he fell out with his family and came to the mediocrity. After his death, he left behind a son, Geng Xian, but he was still considered his own son by the big clan.
It was only because of some overt and covert reasons that Geng Xian did not go to the Wuling County City to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. However, with this level of relationship, the Geng family's life in Shangyong City is naturally very good.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the clan wrote a post, saying that Geng Xian was getting older, and it was no longer possible to waste his days in Shangyong City, and the family thought about it again and again, and prepared to send the family servant to take Geng Xian to the county town to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. Although Geng was reluctant in his heart, it was really difficult to refuse, so he agreed for the time being, and he has been depressed for the past few days because of this.
Today, Geng's heart was depressed, so he sent someone to take his father Pu Yuanwai to discuss, as soon as Pu Yuanwai arrived, Geng said: "Now the clan wants your grandson, next year to the county town to recognize the ancestors and return to the ancestry, I read Xian'er is young, and there is no foundation in that place, in case of bullying, what should I do?"
Pu Yuanwai smiled slightly when he heard this, "Hey, the man's ambition is in all directions, the Geng family's family history is a famous family in Wuling County, and there are huge things such as Zangjian Villa in Wuling County, the stage is not much more mediocre than this, the sword is sharpened out, the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, it is a little bitter, the manly husband can also bear it, the man has lofty ambitions, and the daughter must not worry about it."
Geng's heart was also slightly relieved when he heard this, no matter what Geng Xian said, he was also a child of the Geng family who was recognized as an identity, and he was destined to suffer some white eyes, but his most basic safety and growth environment were not a big problem.
Being able to lay a good foundation in a big force is a blessing that some children from poor backgrounds can't cultivate, so what other complaints can they have? Putting Geng Xian in Wuling County will have better conditions than Shangyong, and the chances of becoming successful in the future will be greater, and as a mother, she will naturally not be able to hinder her son's future.
Seeing that Geng's section had been figured out, Pu Yuanwai turned the conversation around, "It's good that you can figure it out about this matter, but Mr. Xu's side is not very easy to do, this Mr. Xu has the talent to go through the heavens and the earth, and how hard he works to teach Xian'er to study, everyone has seen it in the eyes of him in the past six months, and he is humble and elegant."
Very, sitting in the museum for half a year, there is not a trace of error, in a hurry, how can I let him quit the museum? If this matter is not handled well, I am afraid that our reputation will be hindered."
When Geng heard it, it was really the truth, but he was full of thoughts about his son Geng Xian before, and he didn't think of this stubble for a while, after hearing his father mention it, he couldn't help but tilt his head sideways and think about it for a long time, but after thinking about it, he didn't come up with anything famous, and he couldn't answer anything.
This Geng thought about it for a while, but he really couldn't think of anything famous, so he could only say, "This is the call of the clan, and it should be accommodated if it is reasonable." Mr. Xu has indeed worked hard for half a year, but there is no shortage of gold gifts in our family, even if he is dismissed, it should be no big deal."
Pu Yuanwai was furious when he heard this, "Daughter, what are you talking about? A teacher for one day and a father for life, is Mr. Xu one of those ordinary Confucian students? Don't let me hear it a second time."
Geng saw that his old father was angry, and he immediately panicked, and hurriedly said, "Daddy is very right, the little girl has no words, and Daddy is angry for the time being".
Seeing that his father had eased his color slightly, Geng Shi pondered for a while, and then spoke again, "I think about this matter, it's better to be like this, when your son-in-law was doing business in Suzhou City, he was owed a batch of velvet satin by a shopkeeper surnamed Lu, which is equivalent to hundreds of taels of silver, and it has been nearly ten years now."
"Over the years, there has been no news, only an empty coupon is here. A few days ago, a boatload of people came to me to send news that this shop had recently made a fortune, and I thought about sending someone to ask for it, but after thinking about it, there was no one to entrust. Now it is better to let Mr. Xu bring a subordinate who passed by to Suzhou to settle the accounts, and if he gets the silver back, it is not too much to thank him with a hundred and ten taels, I don't know what my father wants?"
When Pu Yuanwai heard this, he nodded and said, "Okay, good, good! Mr. Xu is naturally a person who can be trusted, and with Mr. Xu's talent, he must not have missed this matter." I also happen to have some tail accounts there, and I bothered him to take it by the way, and when the time comes, I will thank him a little more silver, and this matter will kill two birds with one stone, the icing on the cake, and it should be done."
After the matter was negotiated, the father and daughter both had joy on their faces, and they set up a banquet that night and invited Xu Yao to come, and Pu Yuanwai, Geng Shi, and Geng Xian all accompanied him during the banquet. After a few glasses during the banquet, Pu Yuanwai put down the wine glass and said, "My immature grandson, thanks to the cultivation of Mr. with great enthusiasm, is now very beneficial in learning, logically speaking, the family should be entertained for a long time.
When my grandson grows up. However, the clan personally recruited, and I had to go, next year my grandson will not be able to listen to the teachings under the knee of Mr.
Xu Yao said with a smile when he heard this, "Xiaosheng Quercus mediocre material, thank you for not giving up, I am really ashamed to be here for half a year, so that Sun Young is heroic, and now he is called by the clan, and Feihuang Tengda is just around the corner, and this is the call of blood relatives, Xian'er should be ordered." Xiaosheng has no merit and has been treated by the elders many times, and he is ashamed!"
After Geng Xian finished speaking, he suddenly put down the dishes and chopsticks, and interjected, "Mr. treats me like a son, and I have been taught a lot." But my mother asked me to go to the town of Wuling County, I don't know what my idea was? The Geng family in Wuling County is called my own clan, and over the years, even the obituary sent by my father when he died, but not a single word has been transmitted, what feelings do I have? The so-called blood is thicker than water, but it is just a joke like a mirror and a moon, and I can only coax a three-year-old child, sir, don't go, I will not go next year, and I will continue to study here with my husband in the future. ”
Geng's family was furious when he heard this, and scolded Geng Xian, Xu Yao also opened his mouth at this time to comfort, "The boy is ambitious in all directions, this is the call of your own clan, it is the time to learn a skill, you and I are a master and apprentice, and I will often come to visit you in the future." ”
After Geng's scolding, he took Geng Xian into the inner hall with a maid, and the three of them ate the wine and food on the table, the wine passed three rounds, and Pu Yuanwai will go to Suzhou to collect the account, and Xu Yao said in detail after listening to it, Xu Yao said, "Thank you for the generous gift of the elders, if Xiaosheng doesn't go, wouldn't it be a disappointment to the elders?"
Seeing Xu Yao's promise, Pu Yuan was immediately overjoyed, "The trust of the daughter is on Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu is willing to go, not only my deceased son-in-law is grateful to Jiuquan, but the old man also followed the blessing of Mr.!"
After returning to Jiang's house, Xu Yao told Jiang Wenlun about the matter, Jiang Wenlun frowned when he heard this, and complained to Xu Yao when he opened his mouth, "You shouldn't agree to this matter, although Suzhou City is prosperous, but it is not peaceful to go from Shangyong to the way, with Brother Xu's talent, it must be easy to get back this silver, but those strong people who cut the path are really a little difficult to do, in case there is a mistake, isn't it that the meat bun beats the dog and has no return?"
Seeing Jiang Wenlun's big opinion, Xu Yao smiled and waved his hand, "I have my own ideas about this matter, don't come to make trouble for me"
