In the back hall, Wu Shouzheng was sitting there drinking bland tea, but his eyes were always looking around. It was the first time in his life that he came back to Nanjing. In addition to knowing that Yin Wuxiong of Yingtian Prefecture was also from Renhe County, that is, Hangzhou Prefecture.
Those fellow villagers who do business here. But he has been in his hometown for many years, and those people have stayed in Yingtian Mansion for many years. In addition, the driver's roar offended people, so everyone ignored him, otherwise
He wouldn't have met Xu Xun at the east gate of the government office and was escorted out, and immediately pursued him until today when he made a special visit to his door.
However, three or four days were enough for him to find out the general details of Xu Xun. When he came today and saw the empty situation of the Xu family, he started to murmur in his heart. After absent-mindedly dealing with Jin Liu, he finally felt a little bit
Impatient, he pretended that he couldn't sit still anymore before leaving the chair. He saw the curtain move and Xu Xun came in. So he immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile, while Jin Liu took a look at Xu Xun's face.
, quietly withdrew.
Just now, after having a heart-to-heart talk with Xu Liang, Xu Xun was impatient to go around in circles with such a stranger anymore, so he simply opened the skylight and said frankly: "I thought I had never met Wu Yuanwai, but just now
I didn't know until I was sending the guests out that we had met at the east gate of Yingtianfu Yamen. Since Wu Yuanwai is here today, please feel free to tell me if you have anything to say."
Wu Shouzheng originally hoped that Xu Xun would not understand his origins, but at this time, the word "cannibalism" pierced the window paper, and he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable on his face. After a while, he coughed and said: "I'm here today.
I met the Seventh Young Master because I wanted to inquire about something. I wonder if the Seventh Young Master can introduce me to Mr. Xu Liu for me?"
Xu Xun clearly remembered that Wu Shouzheng's groom was yelling at the east gate of the government office. He clearly wanted to see Wu Xiong, the Yin governor of Yingtian, and he knew it in his heart. Now people said that asking to see Xu You was just an excuse, and he was afraid that
The real intention was to ask to see Wu Xiong. Just as he was thinking about how to reject this person, Wu Shouzheng came closer with a smile and lowered his voice.
"If the Seventh Young Master can accomplish this, I would like to give you fifty taels of tattooed silver as a thank you gift."
Although fifty taels of silver is a very large amount, even more than all the money Xu Xun has at his disposal, there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, so Xu Xun looked at Wu Shouzheng, his face not moving at all, and he was silent for a long time.
He smiled and shook his head and said: "Wu Yuanwai has found the wrong person. Although Uncle Six is my eldest brother, there are many layers between him after all. He is now an official of the imperial court. How can I see him just by asking?"
When Wu Shouzheng saw Xu Xun shirk it without even blinking, he thought Xu Xun was dissatisfied with the lack of money. He was secretly annoyed. He gritted his teeth and made another gesture, saying word by word: "Eighty taels!"
"Does Yuanwai Wu think this is a bargaining market?" Xu Xun finally darkened his face, stood up, cupped his hands and said coldly, "I can't help you with this matter, Yuanwai Wu, please come back!"
Seeing Xu Xun walk away without saying a word, when he saw the door curtain falling heavily, Wu Shouzheng swallowed the hundred taels that reached his mouth, feeling annoyed and regretful at the same time. What was annoying was this
Many days of hard work were in vain, and he regretted that he should not have exposed himself in order to lure the guests. So, when Ruisheng saw off the guests coldly, he couldn't help but want to use the trick of using money to open the way, but who would have expected
The stern boy didn't answer the question at all, so he had no choice but to get into the carriage angrily.
Seeing Lu Quan leaving in a hurry, Ruisheng, who had been silent as Xu Xun came out, finally couldn't bear it any longer. He took two steps forward and asked in a low voice: "Master, do you really want to break off the engagement with the Shen family?"
"Last time Butler Lu came over, didn't you hear it right next to you?" Xu Xun turned his head and glanced at Ruisheng, who had an awkward look on his face, and smiled unconsciously, "Why, do you think it's inappropriate?"
Ruisheng quickly shook his head: "What the young master wants to do must have his own reasons. How dare I think it's inappropriate, but... but the young master has withdrawn from this marriage, what will happen in the future?" He glanced at Xu Xun secretly and saw his own home.
The young master was not angry, but he still lowered his voice unconsciously, "Brother Jin Liu also told me this morning about the young master's appearance last night, and said that Mr. Shen would definitely think about it carefully. After all, the reputation of breaking off an engagement is not good.
With the help of the Yue family, the young master will not only be able to keep the family business in the future, but also make it prosperous... I thought that the young master would definitely change his previous mind..."
Seeing that Ruisheng's brows were frowning so tightly, and although he was stumbling when speaking, his face looked so worried that he was almost worried about the country and the people, Xu Xun couldn't help but laugh, and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to rub the little guy's cheeks.
With his eyebrows furrowed into a knot, he shrugged and said, "Whether it's preserving the family business or promoting it, the Shen family doesn't have to help. Some things can't be done through force, and how can the Shen family ever change their minds? You don't have to think about this.
Many, no matter whether I break off the engagement or not, I will definitely give you a lot of wives!"
"Master!"
Seeing Ruisheng's face suddenly turned red to the root of his neck, Xu Xun couldn't help laughing. In history, there are many people who have achieved success because of women, but it must be because the woman saw the man's potential, so not only did she agree to it,
He even lost money and paid back, but when things came to an end, it was a lot of trouble. But since he was already despised by the other party, it would be easier to cut the mess with a quick knife!
