People sent by others are unreliable, Xu Xun has this view from beginning to end. "I would rather believe in the evil-minded monk Huitong, I would rather let Jin Liu come to the capital on his own initiative, I would rather bring A Bao from the canal on a whim."
, he was also reluctant to use the people given to him by Fu Rong and Wang Shikun. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Tao Hong was someone he had already dealt with with his sixth uncle Xu You, and had the opportunity to donate books, he wouldn't be at ease.
Stay with me.
If Yong'an and Chang Fu went to Xu Liang to recover their lives and then complained in the concierge, he would have given them some leniency. But if they didn't even care about their lives being restored and just stayed in the concierge chattering, he naturally couldn't tolerate it. Therefore, even if
Yong'an, who was smart by nature, knelt down pitifully and begged for mercy, but he remained unmoved.
"Stop kowtowing! Tell the truth about what happened when you went to Xing'an Bo Mansion to post a message!"
Yong'an raised his dusty head and saw that Chang Fu was still holding his head in silence. He immediately complained secretly and hurriedly lowered his head and said: "Reporting to the young master, I and Chang Fu went to Xing'an Bo Mansion to deliver the post. First,
The concierge ignored him, and then he finally agreed to report it. Not long after, someone came out and threw the message in our faces. Chang Fuxing couldn't argue with them, but in the end, people came out and chased us and threatened us.
They said they were going to let the dogs out... It wasn't that the little one didn't come back in time, it was because when he came back, he happened to meet the fourth young master going out, saying he was going to Dingguogong's mansion. There were too many things and not enough manpower. He happened to see us coming back, so he called the two concierges.
When I went out to deliver things to him, Xiao Xiao and Chang Fu were ordered by the fourth young master to stand on the door and watch."
After hearing this, Xu Xun looked at Chang Fu: "Yongan has already said it, what else do you have to say?"
"Young master, I have nothing to say." Chang Fu kowtowed and said with a dark face, "You can beat or scold me as you please."
Although he was very angry at Xing'an Boyu's hostile behavior, Xu Xun could not tolerate such a stubborn character like Chang Fu. I remember that it was Chang Fu who complained outside that he was with the wrong master, and he immediately said coldly: "
Since you met someone else's bastard, I can't blame you entirely for everything that went wrong today. Yong'an, please explain it clearly. You can stay, Tao Hong!"
Tao Hong, who was following Xu Liang out, didn't notice. Ruisheng, who was following Xu Xun out, was just thinking about what he was calling himself. He was immediately startled and hurriedly responded loudly: "Young man is here!"
"Take care of Chang Fu when he goes to see Prince Wang and tell him it's me. I have enough people around me now to return him to Zhao intact."
Tao Hong himself was deeply uneasy when he was given to Xu Xun by Xu Tuo, so he always took good care of the two newcomers. However, the Wang family was an in-law of the Duke of Wei in his previous life. How could he think highly of him?
He didn't care as he ignored Zangzi. At this moment, he heard that Xu Xun was about to return the person to Wang Shikun, and saw that Chang Fu was stunned and Yong'an's face was pale. He instinctively felt that this
The consequences were not good, so he rushed forward and gave Chang Fu a hard push.
"Why don't you beg the young master for mercy? If you just go back like this, Prince Wang will definitely not be able to retake it!"
Although the idiom "little guy" was not appropriate to use here, Chang Fu still understood the low-pitched reminder. But he was a son of the Wang family, and he couldn't bear to be handed over to others all of a sudden. At this time, he suddenly thought
Still silent. Seeing him in this state, Xu Xun shouted at Tao Hong: "Since he doesn't accept your favor, why are you so angry? Take him to see Mr. Wang!"
Seeing Xu Liang open his mouth as if to help and plead, Xu Xun suddenly turned around and held his arm, saying warmly: "Dad, let's go into the house to talk. It's really a coincidence that I went here today. Not only did I meet I got the palm print of Eunuch Xiao, and I also saw Eunuch Li of Bingbi..."
Tao Hong watched the old and young masters enter the house. He looked back at Chang Fu and saw that the man had already walked to the courtyard gate and was pulling the door open. He wanted to give some more advice, but he could only chase after him. Yongan alone was running around anxiously in the yard.
Behind the door curtain of the east wing, Shen Yue, who had been peeking at the situation here, put down the hand holding the door curtain, turned around and walked inside.
After Ruyi, who had been watching her for a while, caught up with her, he couldn't help but whisper softly: "Miss, you are just a young man who doesn't know how to show appreciation. He is not worth anything. You..."
"Not only does he not know how to praise, he is simply the most stupid person in the world. Look at Yong'an and he is still smart. Tao Hong has already reminded him of this idiot, but he still wants to go back. He doesn't think that Wang Gongzi and Xu Xun are so good. It's easy to beat him half to death with a wooden board. It's possible to sell him directly! I was thinking that if I had known this, I would have picked a few suitable people from among the clerks and brought along the two apprentices trained by my godmother. It’s more reliable, lest Xu Xun suffer the idleness of such a fool!”
"Miss, you said this again." Ruyi smiled, then winked and said, "Didn't Mother Li say it a long time ago? If you are not a family for a day, there is no reason for him to use your people. Otherwise, it will be fine now." , when the future is bad, he thought your people were secretly spying on him. "Bah, bah, bah, a dog's mouth can't spit out ivory! Stop talking nonsense, the godmother has already gone out to find out what industries are easy to manage in the capital. Although he brought I have made a lot of money, but I can’t just sit back and have nothing. It’s better to find a safe business.”
"Him? Which him?"
"Little girl, how dare you make fun of me? I've turned against you!"
While the master and servant were bickering softly in one room, Xu Xun helped Xu Liang into the room, and today when he went to see Xiao Jing, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, he met Li Rong, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony. The situation came one by one. Seeing Xu Liang’s frown suddenly relax when he heard the details of the gift, he smiled and said: “Fortunately, I have an extra foresight today, thinking that if Eunuch Xiao dies in the house, There are others, who are not worthy enough, who would have bumped into Eunuch Li by such a coincidence. This is good, I gave Du Jin's gift lightly and cleverly. If Eunuch Li felt that someone was giving him a face, he would be promoted. This good relationship has been forged."
"I bet you had already laid the groundwork for this when you were at Chaoguan in Linqing?"
Xu Liang looked at Xu Xun in disbelief. When he saw him smiling and nodding, he couldn't help but pat his head hard, but he didn't know what to say at all. He just felt that his son had become a spirit. Therefore, when Xu Xun Xun also said that Xiao Jingyan asked them to move to Fengcheng Hutong and asked Mr. Xu Xun to go out in preparation for being summoned. His eyelids jumped immediately.
"Eunuch Xiao means...,.
"That's what you guessed, dad. There is a chance that the emperor will summon him. However, Eunuch Xiao is not a roundworm in the emperor's stomach after all. We can only try our luck. As for the Xing'an Mansion being so lighthearted today ...Didn’t the monk take his people to find a place to settle down first? Let him find out what happened later, and remember this account first!"
"Master... the prince is here!"
The father and son discussed for a long time...Tao Hong's voice came from outside. Xu Xun quickly walked to the door and opened the curtain. He saw Wang Shikun striding into the courtyard door, and two healthy servants behind him were holding Chang Fu in.
As he walked out of the door, the young man who had been sullen in front of him now had swollen cheeks. It was obvious that he just had a big meal... His mouth was tightly blocked, and he came forward as soon as his eyes moved.
.
"Xu Xun, I really didn't expect this kid to be so shameless...that's why I asked him to teach him a lesson. If you don't want to, I will immediately ask someone to come over...and sell him out!"
Chang Fu shuddered as he was being carried. However, he had a ball of rag stuffed in his mouth and wanted to beg for mercy, but he couldn't speak. He could only let out waves of vague whines. Yong'an on the side saw this.
The scene suddenly became silent. Even if Chang Fu looked over again and again, he did not dare to go up to plead for mercy. He just stood there with his hands lowered and his head lowered.
Xu Xun's original intention was to send the person back. Wang Shikun beat him, scolded him, sold him, and kept him out of sight. Anyway, he was never a good person. However, Wang Shikun slapped the person in the mouth and sent him back.
He had a headache. At that moment, he shook his head angrily, and then said: "Forget it, just stay, I have something to tell you."
Without even looking at Chang Fu, who was put down by the two healthy servants, he bowed Wang Shikun into the main room with his bare hands. Then he said that Chang Fu and Yong An went out to Xing'an Bo Mansion today and encountered a problem.
Xu Xu sent him to the concierge with a word, and finally said: "So there are ten or twenty people in my group..." It is really inconvenient to live here. Eunuch Xiao said that there is a house in Fengcheng Hutong.
, asked me to move there, so I plan to pack up and leave tomorrow."
"This fourth child!"
Wang Shikun's face turned ugly when he heard this. After all, Xu Xu had always been silent in the Duke's Mansion of Wei before, but now he is a serious master here, and it is inevitable that he will show a bit of the arrogance that he had restrained in Nanjing.
He really wanted to retain Xu Xun, but Duke Xiao made it public. He was really under someone else's care here, so he couldn't find anything to say. He suddenly got up and strode out, but he didn't go far. He was in the yard.
After asking a few questions to a servant, he turned around again after a while.
"I've asked. It's very close to Fengcheng Hutong. You just need to cross Xuanwumen Street and then go two or three alleys to the north. In short, if you need any help, just ask, otherwise my trip to the capital will be in vain.
Run away, I’ll settle the score with you later!”
Although Wang Shikun and I were not on the same boat along the way, whenever the canal was blocked, Xu Xun often set up on the boat to have a look. In addition, they spent some time hanging out in Nanjing, so Xu Xun and Wang Shikun were already
They were almost buddies. Faced with Wang Shikun's teasing, he immediately agreed without thinking.
"Don't worry, I'm totally blind in this capital. Who else can I look for if I don't look for you?"
"Master, Li Qianhu from Beizhen Fusi is here!"
Almost at the same time that Xu Xun finished speaking, Tao Hong's loud voice came from outside. At this moment, Wang Shikun immediately snorted viciously: "A black eye? I just arrived in the capital yesterday, and it was early this morning.
The Chief of Ceremonies sent someone to call you over, but it was Eunuch Xiao, the eunuch who summoned you. At this moment, people from Beizhen Fusi came again. If you have a black eye, I will simply be blind.
