Now that the founding of the People's Republic of China is far away, the night ban that once had not been loosened has gradually become a piece of paper for the powerful. So when it got completely dark and the banquet at Kuiyuan Tower was over, the Qinhuai River sailed out
One after another, the lightships. Those painting boats that were almost moored quietly on certain piers during the day, now look particularly bright under the light. Coupled with the beautiful women under the light,
Naturally, it gives people a fascinating charm.
However, most of the well-dressed officials didn't even look at the lightships, and just got into their cars. Most of the other guests dispersed. Only the younger generation of young people who knew how to use
He looked at the dreamlike lightships with longing eyes, but under the control of the elders, no one dared to take a step beyond the limits on this occasion, and could only follow the elders home step by step.
Xu Xun, who went out at night for the first time in this life, looked at the Qinhuai River that was dotted with gold and jade, and then thought about the revelry under the neon lights in later generations. He didn't show much awe, but pressed it with one hand.
On his chest, he was still thinking about the origin of the famous red thorn. It should be noted that when he returned to the table, he never saw the boy again, and no one mentioned the invitation to him. Naturally, the more he thought about it, the more strange he felt. When there was a cry of farewell from beside him,
When he heard the sound, he gave up this thought.
Although there were some minor glitches in the Gaosheng Banquet that night, overall everyone was happy, and Xu You, the host, was certainly very satisfied. Now, standing in the cold wind, half of the drunkenness in his head was instantly gone.
So when he looked at Xu Xun, he suddenly remembered the origin of the calligraphy, and his expression naturally became complicated. Therefore, Mr. Xu and others took the junior Lu to leave, and he just managed to deal with a few words.
, and when there were fewer people, he waved to Xu Xun and called him up.
"Xiao Qi, I received so many congratulatory gifts today, but yours is the most original." Xu Yuanyan praised him sincerely. Seeing Xu Xun's humble words, he smiled and said, "When will there be a gift?"
Kong, your uncle also introduced me to me."
"Uncle Liu, I'm not trying to refute him. It's true that the uncle has a weird temperament and doesn't like to meet people. If I hadn't thought that Uncle Liu would be overjoyed, I wouldn't have been able to find a suitable gift for a while, and I wouldn't have dared to disturb him.
." At this point, Xu Xun changed his tone and took out the big red name card from his arms, but he pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Speaking of which, when I went downstairs before, someone gave me such a name card.
It was given to me, but it didn’t even have a signature. It was probably because of the uncle’s two wonderful words. How could I afford it?”
Xu You took the big red thorn and took a look. On the front, there was only the word "Rong" in the lower corner, and on the back were the words "Sincerely Pay Respect". There was really no signature. He suddenly thought of the joints with the color of the thorn. Although he couldn't remember the name of the thorn.
Who should be the owner, but his face suddenly changed, and the look he looked at Xu Xun naturally became more cordial. He handed it back with a smile and asked Xu Xun to keep it, and he smiled and said: "They say that a prodigal son returns with gold, but you can't buy it back."
Having this fate is also your blessing."
"Yes, thank you Uncle Six for reminding me." Xu Xun nodded, and then asked in a very natural tone, "I asked Brother Zhu to convey Uncle Six's matter. I don't know what Uncle Six thinks. Maybe he can help his nephew."
Bundle?"
Although Xu Xun lowered his head, his eyes were always observing Xu Hao's expression. Seeing that the smile on the face of the current pillar of the Xu family was as frozen as ice, he took out another one from his arms.
The letter was handed over: "I know Uncle Liu is in trouble, but after what happened last time, I already regretted it. This is a letter my father gave me a long time ago. He only regretted that I was young, frivolous and ignorant, otherwise it would not have happened.
I almost lost my life.”
Although everyone said that Xu Bian was probably dead, and even though Xu You knew it was an old thing from many years ago when he took the letter, when he took it out of the envelope, he saw that there were still some familiar handwriting and
His tone was still tense. However, most of the page of the letter contained only instructions to Xu Xun. Only the last one mentioned that Xu Xun was a kind-hearted person and that he could be entrusted with anything. He breathed a sigh of relief but was a little nervous at the same time. He folded it
After returning the letter to Xu Xun, he thought about it thoughtfully and finally nodded.
"Forget it, let me think about this matter."
While Xu You and Xu Xun's uncle and nephew were talking in the wind, a loud slap came from Mr. Xu's carriage. Although the driver's heart skipped a beat, he did not dare to be distracted and could only keep his head steady.
He was driving the carriage carefully, trying not to listen to the sounds in the back compartment. However, the direction of the sound was not something he could control. The next moment, a full-faced rebuke passed through the curtains and doors, and got in word by word.
in his ears.
"You bastard, you idiot, you are a failure who has little success but failure!"
After cursing such a series of words in a fit of anger, Mr. Xu just took a breath, but when he saw Xu Jin covering his face and looking unconvinced, he couldn't help but get angry again, and he almost touched the finger with his outstretched finger.
On Xu Jin's nose: "You spent so much money to buy a fake, and you didn't know how to let people check it after you bought it? I've totally embarrassed you!"
"Dad, third brother is just being deceived by others." Xu Dong saw that Mr. Xu's voice was too loud, so he had to persuade him from the side. His eyes when he looked at Xu Jin were full of reproach, "Third brother, you are doing something."
There must be a limit. Sixty guan is not a small amount, and you should always discuss it with your family. A few days ago, you went to the accountant to spend more than 100 guan?"
Xu Jin didn't expect his eldest brother to suddenly come up with this thing again, and was immediately stunned. Seeing his expression in Mr. Xu's eyes, it naturally added a bit of anger. Mr. Xu almost completely forgot that this was a moving carriage.
He went up, punched the wall of the compartment hard, and shouted: "Nie Zhan, tell me quickly, what's going on with those more than one hundred sticks?"
"Isn't it because I bought that good old man's house and wanted to drive him away?" Xu Jin glanced at his brother angrily, then turned around and said with a look of reluctance, "If it weren't for that old man pretending to be a good person,
Save people, there are so many troubles now!"
"How dare you say that!" Mr. Xu was so angry that he even trembled slightly with his hand pointing at Xu Jin, "How dare you spend so much money on such a trivial matter... on such a trivial matter, you prodigal son!"
"Dad, third brother is just ignorant, please calm down!"
Naturally, Xu Dong hurriedly persuaded Mr. Xu. Seeing Xu Jin sitting there with a stubborn expression on his face, he couldn't help but sneered secretly. The eldest son of the generation was his two brothers, but his mother favored her youngest son.
He had taken a fancy to the land and real estate of the second house and wanted Xu Jin to inherit it. However, before the second house's property was obtained, Xu Jin was spending money lavishly, and all he spent was the family property he would deserve in the future!
Even so, my mother still felt that he had wronged his younger brother!
After Xu Dong's repeated persuasion, Mr. Xu finally calmed down a little. But at this moment, Xu Jin suddenly asked: "Dad, is this the end of today's matter? I can't watch that boy Xu Xun riding
On our heads?”
It's okay if Xu Jin didn't say it. When he said this, Mr. Xu suddenly thought of the ugliness that had happened to his family tonight. Xu Xun was so good. He was furious in his heart. He suppressed it even though he tried hard to suppress it, but he couldn't help but snorted loudly.
"How dare you say that! If it hadn't been for what you caused today, this matter would have been done easily and skillfully!" At this point, he paused, and then said word by word, "How could it be so cheap?
He got away with it. It doesn't matter that he has someone to rely on. If I hadn't thought about this kid's treachery, how could he show up tonight? Let's stop for now and contact Mr. Luo first! No matter how cunning the prodigal is, he can't fight against Mr. Luo.
The person behind it!”
Xu Dongxin understood the idea and immediately asked in a low voice: "Will Uncle Six stand in the way?"
"If a mere seventh-grade official really wants to meet a big shot, he should give up and retreat! Today's big event is to give him face, so I don't think he will overestimate his abilities!"
Seeing that his father and brother were only talking to themselves, and had completely abandoned themselves, Xu Jin's eyes flashed with deep dissatisfaction, and he twisted the chair cushions into a mess with one hand.
ps: What do you want to say... By the way, it's the annual selection. I haven't published a new book for almost a year, and I really don't have the nerve to ask for votes, so everyone can just vote for free. It's really embarrassing to spend money. For example
When I refreshed the page before, I inexplicably found out who voted for 200 yuan. That’s 200 yuan, I feel bad...
