Chapter 17: Beginning in Jiangning (3)
After estimating the time of a stick of incense, the Xu family steward with a very familiar face appeared swaggeringly, with an indifferent expression, lukewarm, and beckoned from a few steps away: "Come in." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Like a dog.
Yan Lai and Wei Yang looked at each other, not too far from the plot they expected, it was simply a bull's head and a horse's mouth!
Did the Xu family or Nanjianmen suddenly feel that this marriage certificate was no longer important, and they didn't need to think about it anymore? Or did they have a lot of confidence at some point, and they weren't afraid that they would make trouble with themselves who now had the status of the warden department?
If it's the former, it's fine, at most it's a joke, and everyone laughs and laughs.
If it was the latter, could it be that Nanjianmen had expected that he would come to the Xu family, so he set up an ambush and prepared to do it all?
Thinking about it, this is possible, as long as the knife cuts through the mess quickly, and his death is not clear, even if the court wants to pursue it, I am afraid it must be an unsolved case, after all, there are too many personal grievances here, and in the end, it is nothing more than Nanjianmen and the Xu family casually handed over someone to deal with the matter.
Wei Yang poked Yan Lai, and thought about it in his heart, and then looked at the flowers and plants behind the gate, rockeries and rocks, and always felt that there were a few first-class masters in ambush, and even a grandmaster-level figure came.
Yan Lai swallowed his saliva, feeling that he not only underestimated Nanjianmen, but also exalted his current strength.
Thinking of this, he was a little hesitant to fall into the mouth of the tiger, after all, if there was such an elder of the Yuntian Sect who seemed to be the one he met in Canglan Mountain that day, he would really be thrown into the river to feed the fish.
Seeing the two of them standing outside the door and wandering, Steward Xu sneered, and said in his heart: I finally know that I am afraid, and I found a helper, oh, what if you just find ten or eight, I have already reminded you that you will hand over the marriage book, Nanjianmen is not something that a small person like you can afford to provoke, if you want to crush to death, it is as simple as crushing an ant, and now I understand that it is really a thing of a dog's brain.
"Come in, what are you afraid of, my uncle is not here, I won't embarrass you, since you are all here, let's put these old things aside, the master is already waiting in the living room, thinking of the old friendship, and I won't embarrass you later." ”
Steward Xu is too lazy to talk to him, the opportunity is given to you, it's your own business not to grasp it, it's hard to persuade the damn ghost with good words, and this is already the end of benevolence and righteousness.
"Why don't I wait for you outside?" Weiyang was also afraid that there would be an ambush inside.
Yan Lai sighed in his heart, fortunately, he had a back hand, at most, he would take out the marriage book and make a bad gesture, and he didn't think the other party would really embarrass himself.
"Let's go in together. "Since you have a plan, even if you want to die, you have to find someone to accompany you.
It stands to reason that Weiyang, who is accustomed to seeing wind and rain, will not worry about it, but on the one hand, considering that Yan Lai's cultivation is too shallow after all, and secondly, after the Warden Department made such a move, the other party was able to turn a blind eye like this, and it was not taken seriously, which can only prove that people are really confident.
"Enter, enter. "Saying that, I still instigated Yan to step on the door first.
"Your mother, how cool you are on weekdays, a small courtyard will coax you!" Yan Lai was a little angry.
"I'll coax, I'll do it, don't you instigate you to enter. ”
The porter looked at the two of them as if they were about to retreat, and said disdainfully: "In the end, I can't enter, I won't enter the door." ”
"Come in, go in, you're at the door, why don't you want to visit Shibo. Yan Lai was very shameless and shouted the honorific title first.
Salute first and then soldiers, salute first and then soldiers, originally they wanted to come to salute first and then soldiers, but now they hope that people will salute first and then soldiers.
Three steps and five steps to catch up with the Xu steward who was walking with his hands, the hearts of the two of them have been raised in their throats, paying attention to the surrounding flowers and plants, for fear that there will suddenly be a coughing person, or sitting there with fists and hands, fiddling with swords, and seeing them, they will be people in the rivers and lakes who cut their necks.
But think about it and feel that I am too petty, to the level of a master, how can I do such tasteless things, now I need to worry more about whether I will meet a certain handsome boy, swinging a fan, like the steward in front of him, leisurely walking, or in the pavilion that turns, there is an elegant old man, playing chess with the elegant guest opposite, and there is a beautiful woman playing the piano next to him.
It's a pity that despite all the preparations for meeting the masters, in the end, as he imagined before coming to the door, none of the scenes went according to the plot at all.
Until they got closer and closer to the living room, Yan Lai and Weiyang didn't see any high-ranking people, but the more this is the case, the more scary they think about it, if Nanjianmen or Xu Jiazhen arranges a master to sit in charge, it proves that people are still afraid, after all, this kind of thing is also aimed at evenly matched opponents.
But now it's business as usual, and that's an anomaly.
People don't take you seriously at all, so the direction of the wind is not right, which means that the other party no longer cares about what tricks they play here, in short, everything is under control, whatever you want to dance, wait for you to dance, and then clean you up.
Fortunately, I came to the door to pretend to be this force, otherwise I don't know how to die.
Yan Lai was a little afraid, and the only explanation could only be that Nanjianmen and the city's supreme existence, Wang Xie and the two families already had a close relationship, so they could explain the attitude of the Xu family now.
"This is Erlang, I haven't seen him for many years, and I'm afraid I won't recognize him when I walk on the road. ”
Xu Fu is fifty miles away, with three short beards, wearing silk and satin clothes, but there is nothing eye-catching, the smell of businessmen is very strong, and every gesture is a situation of meeting with customers.
Seeing him walk out of the hall door and wait, Yan Lai immediately said: "It must be Xu Shibo in person, and the younger Yan Lai is polite." ”
"Hehe, get up. Xu Fu straightened him very enthusiastically, behaved like a familiar elder, patted Yanlai's arm, and said loudly: "Sturdy, you're an adult, look at your dress, now you can be regarded as half a person in the rivers and lakes, I heard Xu Song say that you went to Luoyang a year ago, and I still think that this is far away from the mountains and rivers in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see the son of the old man again, hey, I didn't expect you to come back, come on, don't stand, this is a friend of the nephew, come on, come on, sit down together." ”
As soon as the other party came up, he shouted and asked for warmth, and did not mention the unpleasantness in the past, which made Yan Lai even more sure that the Xu family's confidence now is not ordinary, and there is no need to play with you at all.
"The younger generation is not a sheep. Weiyang also said hello obediently, and followed in without a smile.
Sitting there restrainedly, waiting for the next person to bring the tea, Yan Lai could speak: "It's still the fragrance of tea from my hometown, and I smell it." ”
"Huh. Xu Fu stroked his beard and smiled: "What the nephew said is right, this is the best Longjing before the rain, the new tea just produced this year, it is rare elsewhere, or it was brought by the storm a few days ago, saying that it is a friend from Hangzhou, a disciple of Yuntian Sect, hehe, although your father and I are also people who go south and north, but when it comes to popularity, we are businessmen and peddlers, how can we compare to them who wander the rivers and lakes, it is different, it is different." ”
Yan Lai smiled reluctantly and agreed: "Yes, when you come out to wander the rivers and lakes, you have to travel widely, the brother Jingtao that Shibo said, but?"
Xu Fu nodded and said with a smile: "It's my aunt, hehe, see the smile, see the smile." ”
Speaking of this, he reminded him with an interesting look in his eyes, as if he was telling Yan Lai, it's time for you to express it, it can't be today, as if I have to beg you.
Yan Lai was not blind, so he naturally saw the other party's hint, laughed a few times, and suddenly said: "Oh, I was in a hurry just now, I was almost, Weiyang." ”
Seeing that he immediately made a move, Xu Fu and Xu Song, the steward who was standing next to him, looked at each other and smiled: Look, it's still very good.
Young man, it's not good, it's too arrogant, I don't listen to any persuasion, I really have to be hard, ruthless, no, my uncle still has the means, and he took someone down for a spin, and this kid was immediately cowardly, how dare he not come to the door to apologize.
However, it's not a glorious thing after all, so if you can handle it properly, you can handle it properly.
Thinking of getting acquainted with Yan Shun, Xu Fu didn't plan to embarrass the other party anymore, and there would be no more dealings in the future, so there was no need to be too mean, as the saying goes, it's good to get together and disperse, and he's used to doing business.
Yan Lai took the red gift from Weiyang's hand and said embarrassedly: "Some small pastries, hehe, are not valuable things." ”
Xu Fu nodded: "It's okay, it's okay, the courtesy is light and affectionate, and the nephew is too polite." ”
Steward Xu thinks that this kid is inkblotting, and he doesn't directly take out the marriage book, what is he doing with these foreshadowings.
However, seeing that his butt sat back on the chair and didn't make any other movements, Xu Fu, who was waiting for the main event, began to feel that something was wrong, and signaled to the henchman next to him.
Steward Xu bowed slightly, coughed, and said, "Erlang, what is the matter with coming to Jiangning this time?"
Yan Lai put down the teacup and replied: "There is nothing particularly important, first, I came to the yamen to be idle, and I came out for a walk, and secondly, I heard that Jiangning is a hero, I want to come to the meeting, see if I can make more friends, by the way, when I came out of Changling, I saw Uncle Gou, his old man is not decreasing, and he is very alive and well, if he didn't say it, the little nephew didn't know that the Shibo family not only moved to Jiangning, but also prepared to marry Shimei on the first day of April, which is really gratifying." ”
"Huh. Xu Fu didn't know why this kid suddenly mentioned this, what he was thinking, and looked at Xu Song.
Steward Xu understood that this reasonable thing was arranged by him, which was nothing more than to give some silver, and asked him to find a few mothers-in-law to create rumors in Changling County to slander the widow of Yan Li's Nasao.
"This is reasonable, when I was young, I didn't know how many people I offended because of that broken mouth, and I was still so unserious when I was old, I told him a long time ago, you have to accumulate virtue under your mouth, don't listen to the wind is the wind, listen to the rain is the rain, and arrange people in the back, this time he also came to drink the wine, I have to talk about him. ”
It seems that this kid doesn't see the rabbit and doesn't scatter the eagle, okay, I'll give you a little more understanding, so rest assured.
"That's what Uncle Xu said. Yan Lai looked satisfied: "His mouth, it's true that he has lived for a long time, but chewing his tongue is such a thing, heh, it's a small place, it's not strange to see more, after all, no matter how much you talk, it's just over to listen, don't worry about it, I'm afraid that those who say it don't count, but also have to do it, hehe, this is a bit of a bully." ”
Yes, I was really scared, I went around in such a big circle, I said why.
Steward Xu smiled again, nodded with his master, motioned for this kid to be done, and continued: "A while ago, my uncle did go to Changling, and I also accompanied him to go around, alas, you also know that those people in the rivers and lakes are all righteous words first, and it is inevitable that they will be more enthusiastic, and I also told my aunt that these things between our two families can be solved behind closed doors, there is no need for this, you can rest assured, this wedding day is only a few days, and then this unpleasant thing will pass, and no one will go to Changling to harass you." ”
Yan Lai breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and arched his hand and said: "Shibo is not ambiguous, and the little nephew has nothing to say, this time it is indeed for these things, since there are these words, the little nephew will be able to feel at ease, so as not to disturb Shibo, I wish Shimei and Brother Jingtao a hundred years of good together, and give birth to a noble son early." ”
After speaking, he squeezed his eyes at Weiyang, meaning that we are going to leave.
"Nephew you?!" No, this is leaving? What about business? Xu Fu didn't understand why this suddenly turned around.
Yan Lai turned his head politely and waved his hand to insist: "No need to send it, no need to send it, just a few steps, we just go out by ourselves." ”
"Yes, yes, yes, no need to send it. The sheep also mixed with him.
"I'll send you mom!" a hysterical shout came from Steward Xu's mouth, and the tail note was still trembling.
He stomped his feet, not caring at all that he was in front of the master, pointed at the two sluts, and said viciously: "You two will stop for me! The surname Yan, you have the ability to step out of the door of the Xu family and try it!"
