Chapter 110: The nobles help each other and come from a good background
From May to June, people all over the city of Nanjing were talking about how happy the public trial of Yingtianfu was. The big boss of each ministry, Nanke Yanguan Nanxueguan, together with four other officials
Nanjing, which has a mountainous garrison, is more concerned about the current layout of Nanjing City. Although Peng Li, the governor of Nanzhili, has retired from office, the Zhao Qin case still implicates him, and there is even a trend of liquidation all the way up. In the end
It was the emperor who took pity on Peng Li and became an old minister and said that he had left and served you. This was the end of this case that had been pursued indefinitely. However, it was inevitable that the two guarding eunuchs Fu Rong and Zheng Qiang would become worse.
On this day, Xu Tao, the manager of the Yingtian Government Office, who was wearing a brand new robe, stood outside the magnificent former Kaiping Prince's Palace, quite uneasy. Until Xu Xun greeted him with a smile and led him inside.
Only then did he feel a little more at ease. He had never expected that this shocking storm would end in such a way. Looking back now, he still felt like he was in a dream, so he was absent-minded when he heard it for the first time.
Xu Xun didn't react to what he said, but he quickly raised his head.
"What did you say?"
"I said, I want to go to the capital. I want to leave my house in Taiping to Uncle Six to take care of it."
The Zhao family mansion belonged to Xu Xun, but Xu Xun changed hands and gave the house to Zhang Mao for use. Of course Xu You knew about this. While he was stunned by this generous move, he couldn't help praising his nephew for his cleverness and success.
At this moment, he heard that Xu Xun actually entrusted his house to him to take care of. He agreed without saying a word, but unexpectedly Xu Xun shook his head.
"Uncle Six, I'm not asking you to send someone to take care of it. What I'm saying is that the house is empty. It's better for you to let Aunt Six and the others move in, so as not to leave such a big house empty."
Seeing that Xu Tuo was about to refuse, Xu Xun said sincerely, "I won't be able to come back for a short period of time. If I leave, I will leave nothing." The sixth uncle's official house in Yingtianfu Yamen was not well off.
I have returned the ancestral home to you. "But you have many children, and Sixth Brother and the others are about to get married, so the little space may not be enough to live in."
, "How embarrassing..." If it were in the past, "Xu Xun would have refused for a moment and agreed, but now the situation is very different. Xu Xun seems to have attracted the attention of many noble people, and he might be there in an instant.
How could he take advantage of such a meaningless advantage if he could become a successful person? So, after thinking about it for a moment, he said, "If this is the case, I will calculate the annual lease payment separately..."
"If Uncle Six says that, I'll find someone else to look at the house." Xu Xun frowned, pretending to be dissatisfied, and then said with a smile, "Besides, shouldn't I find someone else to look after the house for free? Uncle Six wants to
I really want to make it up to me. I heard that the Xu clan is going to have a great meeting in the next two days, and Uncle Liu and several clan elders are going to take away my uncle's position as clan leader. I would like to ask Uncle Six to seek justice for Uncle Xu."
Xu You thought about it for a long time before he figured out who Uncle Xu was. He immediately knew that Xu Xun was going to settle the general account. Well, the fire in Taiping was a big fuss at the time, and it was clear that the chief conspirator of the arson was Zhao Qin.
He was so confident that he almost trapped Xu Liang in the Army and Horse Department of Nancheng. Now Zhao Qin has been hanged, and the eldest brother has no backer." And because Xu Dong was so eager to die, he happened to go to Yingtian Mansion to file a complaint that day, and everyone fell into a wall.
No matter what, he was just following the trend and acceding to everyone's wishes. He could definitely do this.
"It turns out it's such a small thing." 1Bu Qi, don't worry, I will settle this account with them!"
"Thank you very much, Uncle Six!"
Since Xu Xun came out of the clan, he could not justly interfere in the clan affairs, so he gently pushed the matter to Xu Youqiao at this time, and he was naturally reassured. He had nearly half the money Fu Rong paid him for doing things before.
Four hundred years ago, he actually asked Fu Rong to return it, but the guarding eunuch scolded him that his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes, so he naturally kept it in his bag. As for the other things, his land was donated and he just got it.
He borrowed the Zhao family's mansion, and he could never sell his own house in Taiping, but he had to seek justice for Xu Liang, who had nothing, so he had to make a plan to take advantage of his eldest son.
However, after he introduced Xu Xun to Fu Rong, the Duke of Wei sent someone to invite him, saying that it was Wang Shikun's birthday today, and Wei's wife Wang personally took care of it and asked Xu Xun to come and sit with him. So, he met Fu Rong.
He also sent him away with a smile, and asked him to take Fu Hengan with him who was on monthly leave today. He had no choice but to plead guilty and get up and leave. As soon as Xu Xun left, Fu Rong put away his previous smile.
, the eyes that looked at Xu Tuo were a little more critical and critical.
"Xu experience."
"I don't dare. Father-in-law, please just call Xu by his first name."
Xu Youmo didn't know what Fu Rong meant by his words. He was worried for a moment and bowed hurriedly.
Fortunately, after he said these words, Fu Rong's face seemed to soften a bit, but when he heard the other party ask about Xu Bian's past, he was really surprised. He answered carefully, and saw that Fu Rong seemed to be still...
Not satisfied, he couldn't help but complain in his heart.
"My father-in-law, it's actually Xu Xun's father, my second brother Xu Bian, who has not returned for many years and his whereabouts are unknown. Even when he came back from time to time, he only stayed at home a handful of times. I heard that he and his wife were not on good terms. Xu Xun
They were raised in the outer room."
, "He is an adoptive father, not a father. Keep this in mind." Fu Rong tapped the table with his fingers thoughtfully. Seeing Xu Hao immediately responded, he said lightly, "Since the Xu family in Taiping
He has been brought out of the clan. Regardless of whether you take over as the patriarch or not, you must smooth this out for our family to avoid any complications. You should also know that when the imperial court praised him before, the decree issued also included the Qing Dynasty.
The word "adoptive father" is clear and unmistakable."
"What father-in-law means is..."
Xu Hao always prided himself on being astute, but at this moment he really felt that his mind was a little hard to turn around. It was not until Fu Rong's face darkened that he hurriedly agreed, but in his heart he made up his mind to go back and think about it carefully. However, let
What he didn't expect was that Fu Rongxu explained a few words in an understatement, and he almost didn't stand up on the spot.
"My father-in-law is saying that my second brother...my second brother actually..."
, "That's right. In short, Eunuch Xiao, the chief minister of etiquette in the capital, was greatly lamented about this matter, and later reported it to the emperor, so the emperor then approved of the cabinet's award of such a commendation.
"Yes, I understand, I understand..."
This Fu Rong was already a figure that Xu Tao could not reach before. Now Fu Rong once again mentioned the top boss among the rich and powerful in the capital. Xu Tao agreed repeatedly. After he wiped his sweat and resigned, he left.
Not long after, Xu Liang, who had tidied up, was led to Fu Rong.
Although he was not as embarrassed as when they first met, Xu Liang still felt uncomfortable after sitting down in front of Fu Rong. However, when Fu Rong spoke the first sentence, he was stunned.
On the spot.
"Xu Liang, do you want a son like Xu Xun?"
Even though Xu Liang had engraved all the etiquette teachings of those days into his mind, the nearly thirty years of embarrassment still deeply ingrained something into his bones. Therefore, he almost subconsciously left his seat and left.
He took two steps back before lowering his head and asked cautiously: "Father, father-in-law, what do you mean?"
, "We are just asking you, if our family says that Xu Xun is your son, are you willing to recognize him9"
"Dan"
Xu Liang was completely stunned and stood there unable to move. At that moment, the scene of Xu Chu carrying his little son out flashed through his mind, and the scene of himself crying in front of the grave flashed through his mind.
After many years of hazy days and nights, he didn't know how long it was before he said in a difficult voice: "My father-in-law said that when Mr. Xu took my son out, my son was not dead.
After more than half a year, he took him back and raised him as his own son?"
, "Yes, that's what our family means!"
Fu Rong didn't expect that Xu Liang had thought of it first before he hinted at it. For a moment, he felt that this old man who looked like a bad old man still had some sharp eyesight. Seeing Xu Liang sit down blankly, of course he didn't
He will go all out and say that he has prepared all the evidence. If he doesn't believe that he has the physical evidence, he will just stand up.
"In short, think about it for yourself. If you are willing to admit him back, we can take care of the rest! But before the matter is done, don't say a word in front of Xu Xun. He is too smart.
I knew it would be bad if I did it early!"
When Fu Rong slowly walked out of the room, Xu Liangcai suddenly slumped down on the backrest, and he didn't know that his fertile thoughts had changed in his heart. From the initial hope that arose between the spirits, to the countless reveries that followed, he was no longer excited.
〗 From excitement to confusion, from confusion to suspicion and then from suspicion to helplessness, in the end those thoughts turned into a deep sigh.
He originally thought that he would continue to live in confusion for the rest of his life, and in the end he would die silently and disappear from this world. Now that he had a chance to fight in glory and glory, why did he want to do so much?
When he was fetching water under the Dazhong Bridge, did he ever think about renewing his relationship and giving birth to a son for him to keep in the future? Besides, if Xu Xun was really his son, thinking of the many ups and downs he had experienced these days, Xu Liang gradually revealed a hint of
Come smile.
He is a straight person, but he is not stupid. Apart from his background and his brute strength, there is nothing else that can make big people value him, but Xu Xun is different. What that little guy lacks is just a good background and a good opportunity.
…
……………………,
The Western Garden of the Duke of Wei State.
In the waterside pavilion, Xu Xu, the fourth young master of the Duke of Wei who had always been friends with Wang Shikun, was chatting with several other young masters who had been invited. In the shade near the water, Xu Xun was sitting fishing with Wang Shikun. There were only two of them.
All of his attention was not on the fishing rod, and his heads were almost together.
"It was such a great opportunity before, but it happened because my brother-in-law restrained me and refused to let me out, so I missed out on such excitement. This time I just broke my mouth.
