After eating the wine and meat, it was already late. The Xiang brothers, who had long been used to wandering around, simply lived in Xiang Kang's room. The next morning, Xiang Kang was first woken up by the wife of Xiang Bo, the wife of the third uncle who came to deliver the meal. Then he suddenly learned about the origin of the wine and meat provided by the Xiang brothers yesterday. It turned out that the Xiang brothers heard that there was a dead beef sold in nearby Caoting. After slandering, they stole the pearls and jade left by their ancestors from their third uncle's house for money, bought cows and wine to reward themselves, and also pulled Xiang Kang into the theft gang...

The third aunt is not the kind of particularly difficult square dance aunt. She yelled and scolded the Xiang brothers without knocking on the basin and buckets. She just knelt on the ground stove and kept crying, sobbing and cleaning up the end of the banquet left by the Xiang brothers. She never said a word to blame the Xiang brothers. However, the more this happened, the Xiang brothers who knew the situation at home lowered their heads and dared not say anything, and they didn't know how to talk to their uncle, how to comfort their husbands, who killed someone, and left a family to take care of her.

Xiang Kang stood up without hesitation, saluted to his third uncle and said, "Auntie, it's all my nephew's fault. After falling into the water and being injured, my nephew was weak and slandered. He wanted to eat some good food. My brother and others compassionate to me, so he did this. Although my nephew really didn't know that they bought the wine and meat like this before, the matter was caused by my nephew. I was willing to take the blame and asked my uncle to punish me."

When the third uncle, who had been heartbroken at the moment, looked obviously better and wiped his tears and said, "I don't blame you. You are just in a good state. You need to make some food. Have breakfast soon. In the evening, my uncle will make you millet crust."

After saying that, the third uncle left with an empty wine jar and dirty bowls and chopsticks. The Xiang brothers were all relieved and gave Xiang Kang a thumbs up, praising Xiang Kang for being loyal and able to speak. At the same time, the Xiang brothers gradually changed their impression of Xiang Kang - being able to speak and being loyal, and their eyes were unique when looking at things. None of their brothers seemed to be able to compare with these advantages.

In the evening, the third uncle really brought Xiang Kang a large bowl of millet made of millet and fat meat to nourish Xiang Kang, who had just recovered from his illness. However, after the dinner, Xiang Kang was unable to eat such good food again. The reason was that the family's financial situation did not allow it, and the other was that seeing that Xiang Kang was able to move freely, the Xiang brothers began to walk around every day, wandering around, and eating whatever they returned home. Of course, the two aunts did not have to deliberately prepare good food and food to feed the Xiang family's children and the slutty boys.

After moving east from his original fiefdom of Chenjun, Xiang County, to Xiaxiang, the Xiang family has always lived in Shilingting Pavilion in the northeast of Xiaxiang County. It is quite far from the county town. It is not that easy to go to the city. However, this distance is no problem for the children of the Xiang family who are bored every day. Xiang Kang followed his brothers and entered the city three times after only four or five days. Unfortunately, the county town of this era is not attractive to Xiang Kang, who has been used to the prosperous scenes of later generations. He just takes a quick look and is not very interested in entering the city every time.

The key reason why Xiang Kang was not interested in shopping in the city was that he had no money. Although it was getting colder in the autumn, Xiang Kang, who had only two sets of clothes in his room, needed to buy some winter clothes. There were also green and natural dog meat and mutton for sale in the county restaurants and markets, but he couldn't take out half a copper plate, so Xiang Kang could only look from a distance, swallowed the saliva in his mouth, and rubbed his whisper, and continued shopping with his brothers.

The Xiang brothers sometimes hate it. They were obviously too poor to show off the genealogy of Chu nobles with swords at any time, and they were spitting and ridiculing the farmers who were harvesting in the fields, despised the merchants who seemed to belong to the untouchable class, and were like a group of down-and-out Han Xin who were ready to beg for food from Piaomu at any time - of course, it was just like Han Xin who could crawl through that period of time from others at any time.

Now, when we went home with Xiang Kang for the third time, we had just drunk a bowl of millet porridge in the morning and were so hungry that we were already so hungry that we were still on the back. Xiang Bo's eldest son Xiang Ju was still pointing at several carts on the road and laughing, saying, "Look, the cart of the Yu family is the head of the Qianshou, and when he gets rich, he is still the same commoner's elephant. He is willing to use a cow when he pulls a cart, and he can't even use a horse."

Xiang Kang looked silently and with the memory left by Xiang Kang, he found that the ox carts loaded with goods were indeed owned by the famous wealthy family of Yan Jiting. Yan Han, who was next to him, said impatiently: "The Yu family has several carts, but they are all carts for people to ride. They use ox carts to pull goods. Let's go quickly, my stomach is almost hungry."

"There is nothing good when I go back. In the morning, I heard from my second mother that I would eat bean soup tonight." Xiang Ta said lazily, and said, "But today at the market, I saw the wife of the head teacher in our Shilingting Pavilion buying meat. Her family might eat meat tonight, so why don't we go to her house and have a meal?"

"Feng Zhong didn't invite us again? Why?" Xiang Zhuang said angrily: "We want to whisper to a small pavilion chief like those common people in Guizhou to have a meal, nod and bow?"

Xiang closed his mouth, while Xiang You on the other side looked at the wine jar full of wine on a Yu family ox cart with envy and said, "It would be great if the Yu family and our Xiang family had any friendship. If you visit his house, the wine and meat will definitely be full."

"When our Xiang family first arrived at the lower court, the head of the Yu family, Lao Yu, wanted to have a friendship with our family." Xiang Zhuang said casually: "However, the Yu family was born into a commoner, and Lao Yu was a little stingy and was not at all happy to do things. Both uncles looked down on their Yu family and didn't want to pay attention to the Yu family at all, so our Xiang family had no contact with their Yu family."

"It's a pity that my father and second uncle should be condescendingly to make friends with the Yu family." Xiang You, the second son of Xiang You, said regretfully: "I heard that this Yu Gong not only has a wealth of money and a generous family, but also has two more..."

"Dear Uncle Ji, the second father and the others look down on the Yu family and don't want to make friends with the Yu family, but we, the younger ones, don't care." Xiang Ta interrupted Xiang You and said with some whimsical thoughts: "Can you make friends with the Yu family? Let's get us a rich family that can move around? When we are too hungry, there is a place to eat and drink."

"Xiang, say less embarrassing words." Xiang Zhuang scolded: "Eat and drink as a diner? You don't have to worry about losing face to our Xiang family when you say it!"

"I mean to be a guest, go to the Yu family as a guest." Xiang Ta argued: "We make friends with the Yu family and go to his house to be a guest. How can his house treat us with delicious food and drink?"

"It's easy to say." Xiang Sheng, who was tall and tall, was quite self-aware, and said, "What did the Yu family treat us as guests? Not to mention that uncles and the others have been slow to treat Mr. Yu. In our current situation, why should the Yu family treat us guests?"

"We are the descendants of the famous family of Chu!" Xiang Ta continued to argue and said, "Just this point, the Yu family should respect our Xiang family's children as guests of honor!"

"Then you go and tell the Yu family that we are willing to make friends with them and let his family respect us as guests of honor." Xiang Sheng said impatiently.

"I am a junior, you are an elder, you should come forward with such things."

Xiang Ta, the youngest senior, cunningly refused, and the Xiang family's children were booed everywhere. Only Xiang Kang did not boo. After careful consideration, Xiang Kang also said: "Dear brothers, I think Xiang Ta's idea is good. We are a little down and out now, but our Xiang family is famous after all, and the Yu family is only a civilian. We go to make friends with him to give their Yu family face, a question of whether we are willing or not, not a question of whether their Yu family is willing or not."

Xiang Kang dared to say this, of course, because Xiang Kang remembers some history and knows that the old Xiang family still has a lot of prestige among the people of Chu State - even when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were uprising, they shamelessly forced the Xiang family's signature and took the banner of Xiang Yan's subordinates. Unfortunately, the Xiang family's children were treasured and did not know it. After hearing Xiang Kang's words, none of the other Xiang family's children sneered, and said, "Then you go and make friends with the Yu family. As long as his family agrees, we are willing to be friends with the Yu family."

Out of the expectations of the Xiang family's children, combined with the Xiang family's fame in history and the current social atmosphere, he carefully calculated the time. Xiang Kang, who was actually a little competitive, made up his mind and said, "Okay, I'll give it a try and see if it can be successful."

"Uncle Ji, are you really going?" He was surprised and said, including the first person to mention this topic.

"Xiang Kang, don't lose our Xiang family's face." Xiang Zhuang frowned and said, "I would rather starve to death than beg for help in a low voice."

"It's not asking him, it's going to make friends with the Yu family on an equal footing." Xiang Kang replied: "I will find a way to make the Yu family treat us as VIP guests, not to treat us as beggars."

"Xiang Kang, what do you think of?" Xiang Sheng asked curiously.

"I haven't thought about this yet, you have to help me." Xiang Kang replied with a contemplation.

"What are you doing?" Xiang Sheng asked, and said again: "But I have something to say first. If I ask me to ask the Yu family in a low voice, you won't even think about it."

"Of course, there is no need to ask someone in a low voice." Xiang Kang smiled and said, "I don't know much about the Yu family. I just need to tell me the situation of the Yu family as much as possible. Let me come up with an idea first, and then see if you want to help."
