Chapter 131: The Ancestor of the Ceremony Superintendent
"Du Jin, Du Jin..."
Li Rong opened the kit and saw that the golden amulet inside was shiny and warm. It was indeed not brand new. It was obviously an old thing that had been rubbed for many years. So he was deeply moved and couldn't help but uttered the name several times. The only disciple in his name was disciple.
Don't worry, it's too much. I can't remember it at the moment, but I can't express it in front of Xu Xun and Xiao Jing, so I just coughed dryly.
, "It's hard for him to be so filial!"
Xiao Jing knew that Li Rong couldn't remember it at all, so he said jokingly: "Brother Li, please don't worry about your affairs. Du Jin has only been serving as Linqing Tax Supervisor for a few months.
, the transfer of money was much more timely than the previous ones, and the head of the Household Department and the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who worked with him were not even impeached, which was really not easy. By the way, there was also Fu Song'an's affection, Mr. Li
I am the elder, but please choose first."
, "Hahaha, Eunuch Xiao, you really praised me. Since you are so generous, we are really not polite to you!"
When an insignificant person under his name was praised like this by Xiao Jing, Li Rong laughed so hard that his eyes narrowed.
At that moment, he completely forgot about the previous topic about Ma Wensheng, and carefully picked out everything in the box. Then he called the accompanying young eunuch in with a smile. In the end, he really didn't have the slightest courtesy to take most of the things in the box.
Moved away.
After personally delivering the person to the second door and watching Li Rong get into the car and leave, Xiao Jing breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Xu Xun and said approvingly: "Thank you for your cleverness, otherwise Eunuch Li might not have found our home."
How long have you been nagging?"
Bie Bin was just held back by Li Rong and couldn't even report the news. Although Xiao Jing didn't explicitly blame him, there was already some meaning in his words, which was inevitably a bit sarcastic. What Xu Xun disliked the most was
Offending someone for no reason, he immediately said humbly: "Eunuch Xiao, thank you for the award. If my father-in-law hadn't reminded me that Eunuch Li is the most religious believer in Buddhism, I wouldn't have moved this box of things alone. Moreover, it was also thanks to Eunuch Fu that the things were prepared."
complete."
Xiao Jing glanced at Bie Bin quietly, and then said, "Fu Song'an has always been careful.
After many years in Nanjing, I still haven’t changed my old nature. By the way, according to you, is there anything else in the car?"
, "Yes, there are ten pairs of summer socks, ten pairs of spring and autumn socks, and ten pairs of winter socks that Eunuch Fu specially ordered from the Jiangnan Weaving and Dyeing Bureau on the carriage outside. These are all specially customized according to my father-in-law's size. They are for summer socks.
The ones are made of Songjiang Youdun cloth, and the spring and autumn socks are made of thickened double materials. As for the winter socks, a layer of cashmere lining is specially added inside. In addition, there is a box of folding fans, a box of fan covers, and a box of purses, all of which are worthless.
It’s a little gadget, my father-in-law is enjoying it for the people below to play with.”
Xiao Jing is now in a high position, and there are many people who want to send gifts to this house. Even if Fu Rong is a former colleague of the Chief of Ceremonies, he has to be a little cautious. At this time, he heard that what Fu Rong sent was not
The silks and satins were not gold, silver or jewelry, they were all inexpensive but thoughtful things. His face was foggy, but his heart was calm.
, "Fu Song'an's kindheartedness is really rare. Our family will definitely have the confidence to thank him in the future."
With this digression, Xiao Jing's attitude towards Xu Xun became more cordial. When the box was moved in, he saw that the boy Xu Xun had left behind had not been sent out. He looked carefully and understood immediately.
This was the kid Fu Rong had mentioned to him in the letter. He waved him over and asked him for a few words. Although he was a little nervous, there was a sense of naivety between his eyebrows. He was obviously an honest person.
When he learned that Xu Xun had taught him how to read some characters, but he could only write two to three hundred words now, he couldn't help but laugh.
, "It doesn't matter, if you follow our family, you won't be blind!"
, "If my father-in-law cultivates him, it will really be his blessing." Xu Xun saw Ruisheng looking at him,
There was undisguised reluctance and sadness in those eyes, and this scene clearly fell into Xiao Jing's eyes. He couldn't help but bow his body and said, "Father, when the boy was seriously injured and about to die,
He is by my side and will never leave me. Moreover, he is a little crazy. If he behaves inappropriately, please forgive me because he is young and ignorant." "Isn't it because you are afraid that he will only miss his old master?
Don't you think your family is dissatisfied?" Xiao Jing smiled, and his eyes softened as he looked at Ruisheng. "When you have a second master, you will forget about the previous master. If your conscience is bad, it will be useless no matter how good you are. It's like
Although Lu Bu is brave, the reputation of these three surnamed servants has been with him all his life. If he was really of such a character, our family would still look down upon him! He will stay here with us, and we will take him with him when we return to the palace.
Go up. He is too young and is a black man in the palace. Let him learn from our family for a year or two."
Xu Xun truly loved and cared for Rui Sheng, but once the eunuch's identity was revealed, there was absolutely no reason to stay by his side. Therefore, even if Fu Rong said that Xiao Jing would definitely take care of Rui Sheng when he entered the palace, he still felt uneasy.
When he heard this, he let out a sigh of relief and immediately knelt down to thank him.
Even though he took the bearer with him and learned it for a month or two, with Ruisheng's ignorant character, if he was really assigned any task, he would definitely suffer a lot. It would be far worse than following Xiao Jing to experience it.
A year or two!
, "Thank you, father-in-law!"
, "Ruisheng, help your young master."
When Xiao Jing saw Ruisheng immediately stepped forward to help Xu Xun up, he smiled happily and said, "Fu Song'an said in the letter last time that you survived all the passes at Xu's Ancestral Hall.
In this small
Someone took advantage of this guy, and in a moment of panic, he was dragged into the water. Our family didn't believe it at first, but we believe it when we saw it today. It's great that a young boy who is waiting around can be so caring and considerate, let alone
Talk about close relatives and benefactors."
Anyone who is in a superior position likes the people below him to have some shortcomings, especially those who are sincere and affectionate. This way, promotion and win-over will not be easy to be backlashed, and secondly, if there are weaknesses, they will be easier to control.
At this time, Xu Xun knew that Xiao Jing was no exception, so he was sincere and humble, but did not say anything to express his loyalty.
After all, there must be many people who want to serve as the eunuch, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony.
…………………………,
Xing'anbo Mansion is located in Wu'anhou Hutong next to Xicheng South Bridge, next to Wu'anhou Mansion.
It is believed that the two mansions were originally given to the two nobles, Hou Xing'an Bo of Wu'an, so the two families became neighbors. However, the name of the alley was spread among the people, and it was naturally based on the title. Nowadays, both families have
The glory of the Jingnan nobles during the reign of Chengzu is no longer the same. Although the life is still good, it is difficult to live in this huge capital with the annual lumi alone. The Wu'an Marquis Mansion has many heirs and expenses are high, but the Xing'an Bo Mansion is exactly the same.
On the contrary, it is not that wives and concubines have never given birth to sons, but the sky has changed, and they have died of illness. Now that Xing'an Bo is ill, there is not even a son with an illness in front of his bed.
Xu Sheng, the uncle of Xing'an, had married two wives, and his first wife and step-brothers were all dead. Now, Aunt Dai, who was in her early fifties and had been with him for many years, was in charge of the affairs of the uncle's house because she had given birth to a daughter.
Housework. She is not a serious lady. Now that Xu Sheng is ill, the servants are all acting up. Although she has some tricks, she has a bad reputation. She is harsh and mean in her daily life, and she has some problems.
She was so panicked that she couldn't control it at all. Xu Sheng's nephew Xu Yi just ran diligently three or five times and gave her a mouthful of rice soup, and she naturally had a bias in her heart.
At this moment, she personally took Xu Sheng's medicine and tucked him into a gauze quilt. She sat next to him and said with tears, "Master, Brother Yi came again yesterday and said it was Xu Liang and his son.
We have entered the capital. You are sick now, but the younger one has been granted the title of honorary guard. Isn't this a drunkard's desire to drink? I am a sonless person, and I can't say that I have any preferences, but who is Xu Liang?
If you are not good at literature or martial arts, it is said that in Amkyo you even have to do part-time jobs fetching water for people to make a living. That little boy
His life experience is even more questionable! In contrast, Brother Yi at least has favored Qianhu, the avant-garde of the government army, and has a serious military position, and you have watched him grow up..."
,"alright!"
Xu Sheng was old and childless, and now his illness was even more depressing. Hearing these words, he felt a rush of panic in his heart. He immediately drank impatiently. Although Aunt Dai was in bed, she was still wiping her tears.
, he couldn't help but snorted coldly: "Why cry, I'm not dead yet! Even if they want to choose someone to inherit the title, the court can't go past me!"
Just when he said this, a mother's voice came from outside: "Sir, someone posted a message outside the door, saying that it was sent by your cousin Xu Liangxu from Nanjing..."
…”
, "Master, look at it, the one who just arrived yesterday is here today. This is obviously bullying you because you are sick and there is no wife in charge of the family!" Aunt Dai thought of Xu Yi's promise, and then thought of what it would be like to be a stranger.
After entering the throne, my old concubine was either kicked out or sent directly to the family temple. Suddenly she was in an even more miserable and pitiful situation. She actually fell on Xu Sheng. "Master, if this day comes, I might as well
As you "..."
, "Stop talking!" After drinking Aunt Dai in one gulp, Xu Sheng banged the bed board angrily, and then ordered in a deep voice, "What Mr. Xu Liangxu, what kind of cousin, how dare he, who has lived in poverty for many years, dare to
If you come to my place to show off your authority, kick people out and tell me that I don’t have such damn relatives. If you come back again in the future, just beat them away without reporting them!"
Aunt Dai was overjoyed when she heard that Xu Sheng was so tough, but she still covered her face with a handkerchief and sobbed. It wasn't until Xu Sheng turned around exhausted and fell asleep that she sat next to her and comforted Xu with gentle words.
Yi was so good that she kept talking about the various officials and colleagues who had sent people to deliver medicines and so on these days. It wasn't until she was sure that Xu Sheng was completely asleep that she stood up and asked the girl to take good care of her.
Tiptoeing out the door.
As soon as she left the upper room, her confidant mother came to greet her. After bowing, she looked around and leaned close to her ear and said: "Auntie, Master Yi is here. I have already led people to
