Chapter Seventy-Five: Gusu Xiao's Family
The Xiao family in Gusu City has existed in this ancient city since Gusu City was recorded, and it is even rumored that there was a Xiao family first and then there was this Gusu City. The Xiao family's mansion is located on the east street in the center of Gusu City, and the mansion stretches for miles and covers most of the block, and a high wall separates the Xiao family from the people in the city. There are thousands of houses in the house, row upon row in an orderly manner, pavilions, gardens, rockeries, verandahs and lakes are all from the hands of famous architects of the past dynasties, exquisite and beautiful than the Imperial City of Beijing.
If the Xiao family's compound is showing the world that this ancient family has a deep heritage and long history, then the Xiao family's restaurants, inns, and pawnshops throughout the entire Dongcheng show the world that it has strong financial resources. Even the Gusuzhou Mansion set up by the Great Zhou Dynasty was just a foil for the deep-rooted and flowery Xiao family. Although the imperial court set up the state capital yamen in Gusu City, the Xiao family still has the final say in the Gusu world. Even if it was the change of dynasties and the years of war, Gusu City was broken several times, but no iron cavalry soldier of the Son of Heaven stepped into the gate of Gusu Xiao's house once.
Hidden in the gloomy and solemn Xiao family ancestral hall in the deepest part of the Xiao Mansion compound, Xiao Wenshan, the current head of the family, and the heads of the few remaining branches and the clan children in charge of all the Xiao family's properties sat in the hall of the ancestral hall with a deep face, and the old servant Murong Chun stood in the center of the hall, slowly telling the events encountered today to several people in charge of the Xiao family.
Xiao Wenshan, the head of the family, carefully listened to every word said by Murong Chun, who had been worshipping in the Xiao family all his life, and asked about some details at that time from time to time, such as the appearance of the young man in the small shop outside the city, and the style of the ancient sword he was holding in his hand. It wasn't until the end that Murong Chun had recalled all the details that the head of the family, Xiao Wenshan, closed his eyes and thought carefully.
After a long time, Xiao Wenshan opened his eyes and said to everyone sitting in the hall: "According to Murong Chun's description, that young man is Han Fengge, a disciple of Kunyu Mountain who went down the mountain to Yunmengze at the beginning of the year and made a lot of trouble in the city on the way, yes, it's just why he appeared in Gusu City at this time, and why he found our Xiao family, but it is unpredictable, could it be that Xiao Wenjing on Kunyu Mountain instructed him? Otherwise, he would never have happened to appear in Gusu City when the Xiao family was about to elect the next head of the family." ”
Xiao Wenhai, who was sitting on Xiao Wenshan's right hand, couldn't sit still, got up and shouted: "Big brother, what are we afraid of him doing with a little doll now? Even if he has Xiao Wenjing's wild seed behind him secretly instructed, but in the past hundred years, our Xiao family has broken off with that wild seed. Even if he Xiao Wenjing is the son of the fourth uncle, he is no longer qualified to dictate the affairs of my Xiao family, if Xiao Wenjing dares to come this time, I, Xiao Wenhai, will kill him again. More than a hundred years ago, he was lucky enough to pick up a life, not only took away my Xiao family's ancestral "Kurong Jue", but also made my Xiao family's chickens fly and jump with his shameless mother, if he dares to come back this time, brother, I will definitely let him be buried with his mother!"
Xiao Wenshan looked sad, shook his head helplessly, and said: "Second brother, you are still so reckless, if it wasn't for your greed for wine and leaking the news, so that the mother and son got the news, at this time, our Xiao family would not be afraid of a little doll." Today's Xiao Wenjing is different from the mourning dog who was kicked out of our house a hundred years ago, but he has the support of Kunyu Mountain behind him. ”
As soon as Xiao Wenhai heard his eldest brother mention the old past, he immediately lowered his head and said: "Big brother, don't mention those things again, after all, I don't know what magic that shameless woman has to make the cheap woman in her room obey her, and she is willing to fight for her life to ventilate the news." Hmph! Now that I think about it, it was so cheap to just bury that alive at that time. ”
Xiao Wenshan became angry when he heard this, and scolded this brother who was a fellow mother: "Hmph! If you could control the birds in your crotch and sleep less women, you wouldn't have messed up that thing back then." In the future, you will teach Yuchuan less messy things, and our Xiao family will have a fairly good seedling now, but it can't be destroyed in the crotch like you. ”
Although he was scolded by his eldest brother, Xiao Wenhai still laughed and said: "Don't worry, eldest brother, my eldest nephew is very well-behaved, young and strong, there is no problem in sleeping with a few more girls, maybe I can give you a few more grandchildren, hahaha." ”
Xiao Wenshan, who was sitting on the main seat, heard him talk about his son, and the company commander said to Xiao Wenhai with a slight smile: "You, the second uncle, have to watch more Yuchuan recently, he has suffered a loss after fighting with that young man, I am afraid that his temperament will not give up, if something really goes wrong with Yuchuan, our Xiao family can be regarded as having no successor." ”
Xiao Wenhai laughed and said: "Big brother, don't worry, I will take a good look at my eldest nephew these days, don't let him run out to find trouble with that kid, and wait for that kid to leave Gusu City before letting Yuchuan go out to be happy." ”
Xiao Wenshan shook his head with a wry smile when he heard this, and then said to Xiao Wenyuan, who was now in charge of the Xiao family's industry in Gusu City: "Wenyuan, I estimate that the Kunyu disciple named Han Fengge will enter Gusu City tonight, you confess, you have to treat him well, and if you can miss one thing at this juncture, you will miss one thing, after all, our Xiao family is different from the past, it is better to be careful." ”
Xiao Wenyuan, who has been the shopkeeper of the Xiao family for decades, said with a smile: "Don't worry, the head of the family, Wenyuan knows it." ”
Xiao Wenshan looked at his fourth uncle's cousin who survived in the internal strife and fought that year and nodded with a smile, he didn't mention the things of the year all these years, and was willing to be his own housekeeper, and he didn't dare to stab himself at this juncture.
Lanyue Tower in the east of the city is the largest green building in the city of Gusu, and it is also the most profitable industry of the Xiao family. In the Moon Shadow Pavilion in the backyard of Lanyue Tower, Xiao Yuchuan was holding a wine glass and drinking with a middle-aged man dressed in black and a grim face opposite. Two women with good faces and attractive figures sat beside him, the younger ones were fifteen or sixteen years old, in the prime of their youth, with red lips and eyebrows, and their delicate fingers were holding a peeled lychee between their lips and lightly dipping the rouge between their lips, and then slowly stuffed it into Xiao Yuchuan's mouth. And the older one gently pillowed his head on Xiao Yuchuan's thigh, his plump fingers swiped back and forth on his legs, and his small mouth opened slightly, rubbing his slightly disheveled hair against Xiao Dagongzi's abdomen, which was only wearing a thin shirt. Although the young woman is in her thirties, she has a plump body, white and tender skin, and is very well maintained, and her appearance is very similar to the girl in the arms of the eldest prince Xiao.
The ruthless middle-aged man sitting opposite looked at Xiao Dagongzi, who was so good at enjoying the wine glass, and the mother and daughter who knew how to serve men very well, and felt envious and jealous.
On the table is a blood-like grape wine from the Great Wan Kingdom of the Western Regions, which is said to be drunk only in the imperial palace.
The middle-aged man held a transparent glass glass cup filled with wine and asked Xiao Yuchuan on the other side with a smile: "Why does Xiao Gongzi have time to drink with me today?" I remember that your Xiao Gongzi has never had any trouble that cannot be solved and needs me to help you deal with it. ”
Xiao Yuchuan carried the wine glass, pressed the young woman lying on his lap into his arms with one hand, and said lightly: "On weekdays, this son really doesn't need your Mr. Yin to help me deal with trouble, because all the troubles in this Gusu City are not troubles for me Xiao Yuchuan." But today is different, today's trouble is not the trouble in Gusu City, and the elders in the family do not allow me to solve the trouble by myself, so I thought of finding Mr. Yin, a master who specializes in kicking people to deal with trouble and has always been a master who misses. ”
Although Yin Shu was holding a wine glass, there was no drunkenness in his eyes, and he stared at Xiao Yuchuan and said, "Oh, then Xiao Gongzi, let's hear it, what kind of trouble can make you Xiao Gongzi think of me as a guy who can't get on the stage." ”
Xiao Yuchuan put down his wine glass, and told him how he got to the small shop outside the city during the day, how he fought with the young man from the countryside, and the name of the young man's appearance to Mr. Yin, who was extremely famous in the Huzhou cultivation world opposite, but few people had seen his true face, who specialized in solving troubles for others.
Yin Shu, who was sitting opposite, shook the wine glass with one hand and looked at the wine flowing like blood in the glass, and after listening carefully to Xiao Yuchuan's description, Yin Yin smiled and said: "Oh? This is the trouble that Xiao Dagongzi said? Then do you know that the young man you are talking about came out of Kunyu Mountain, and no matter how many wild cultivators chased and killed him, he couldn't do anything, and even Song Qiuhong, the master of the Yuanying Pavilion of Jiangzhou Star Picking Pavilion, was even in big trouble with his life?"
Xiao Yuchuan smiled slightly: "Of course I know that this young man is a big trouble, otherwise I wouldn't have found Mr. Yin, what's the matter? Mr. Yin is scared? Of course, it is normal for Mr. Yin to be afraid, after all, Kunyu Mountain is not something that anyone dares to provoke." If the gentleman is afraid, the business will be settled. ”
That Yin Kill looked at the bright red wine in the cup and smiled: "Is this Xiao Dagongzi provoking me? That's not necessary, Yin is a killer, and the killer is doing this life-threatening business that others dare not do, if everyone dares to do it, it won't be a trouble, so what do you want me Yin to do? It's just that this business is indeed the most dangerous business that Yin Mou has received, this kind of thing that plays with his head, Xiao Dagongzi has to add money." ”
Xiao Yuchuan's eyes lit up and said, "Oh, as long as Mr. Yin is willing to help me solve the trouble, it is not a problem to add money, let's make a price." ”
Yin Shu smiled lightly and stretched out a finger: "According to the rules, double it." ”
Xiao Yuchuan laughed and said, "Haha, is Mr. Yin saving me money? As long as you do it, I will add you twice as much." ”
Yin Shu accepted the arrogance of the eldest son Xiao in front of him, after all, the family is big, and people are willing to give more money, and there is really no reason to cut the price back as a hard-working person, but he still said: "It doesn't matter if you add money, Xiao Gongzi is happy, but Yin has an additional requirement." ”
Xiao Yuchuan said with a smile: "What do you ask Mr. Yin to say, if you don't feel embarrassed, I, Xiao Yuchuan, am by no means a stingy person." ”
A smile appeared on the corner of Yin Shu's mouth: "It's nothing, it's just that Yin has taken a fancy to these two beauties in Xiao Dagongzi's arms, I don't know if Xiao Dagongzi can cut his love?"
Xiao Yuchuan said with a smile: "Just now, I saw Mr. staring at the big fish and the small fish, and it turned out that he had taken a fancy to them." No problem, I, Xiao Yuchuan, am very generous, these two beauties will accompany Mr. for a few days. ”
Yin Shu stretched out his finger and shook it gently: "It's not a few days, Yin has taken a fancy to this mother and daughter, and what Yin wants is that these two people will belong to me in the future." ”
Xiao Yuchuan looked down at the woman who still had charm, and his eyes were full of reluctance, and then he gritted his teeth and said in pain: "Okay, this son will send the mother and daughter to Mr." After speaking, he pushed the mother and daughter to Yin Kill on the opposite side.
Yin Kill picked up the plump young woman who fell in front of him with one finger, looked at her slightly flickering eyes and smiled: "Not bad, yes, it's really a stunner in the world." Now that the deal has been negotiated, Xiao Dagongzi will wait for Yin's good news. After speaking, he laughed and pulled up the two mothers and daughters and left the Lanyue Building.
In a small inn in the west of Gusu City, the young woman with a sultry demeanor who was still lying next to Xiao Yuchuan was sitting on the chair of the hut with tears in her eyes at this time, and the girl who was standing next to her along the way with a numb face finally stared at the middle-aged man who knelt in front of them and was still extremely evil just now.
The middle-aged man Yin Shu knelt down in front of the young woman, reached out and gritted his teeth to break off the fingers that had picked up his wife's chin earlier, and sobbed: "Sister-in-law, it is too late for my brother to save each other, so that my sister-in-law and niece have been wronged for so many years, and my brother has to live up to the eldest brother's entrustment!"
The woman didn't burst into tears until she saw the man in front of her cut off her fingers, and she hugged her daughter and cried for a long time before she got up and helped Yin Shu, who was kneeling on the ground, and said: "Uncle doesn't have to be like this, it's our mother and daughter's life, and I can't complain about my uncle." ”
