Xu Xun had already roughly guessed that the old man in front of him was probably a first-class middle-class man, but he was somewhat surprised that he was such a big shot. He didn't know what the difference between the Nanjing eunuch and the eunuch in Beijing were.
The difference, but as long as the prince heard the word "Fu Gong" and immediately retreated as if he had seen a ghost, he understood the weight of it. At this moment, no matter whether he was willing or not deep down in his heart, he still left his seat immediately
He stood up and when he was about to salute again, he was held up by someone.
The person who helped him was naturally not Fu Rong himself, but the middle-aged man who had been accompanying him. After the middle-aged man helped Xu Xun up, he glanced at Fu Rong and pressed him down on the chair with a smile.
He went up, made another cup of tea and served it, and then smiled and said: "Just now you were chatting in front of my father-in-law, and now you are suffering from stage fright? You young man, I heard that you used to follow a group of wanderers and behaved wildly.
I'm not afraid of being beaten on my sleeves or getting my head bloody, but I can't tell that a person is still sincere."
Listening to the other party mentioning his past, Xu Xun knew that all his experiences were probably revealed in detail by the other party. He immediately agreed, said thank you and held up the tea cup. While tasting the tea, he couldn't help but use that
He looked at Fu Rong under the cover of the lid of the tea bowl. Seeing that the man who had the most say in Nanjing City was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, he tried hard to recall the person he had rescued, but no matter how he recalled it, he still wanted to
He couldn't bear to look at the other person's appearance and shape. After all, that moment was the most confusing moment in his memory. How many impressions were there?
"I am impulsive and sincere. After all, I am still a young man."
Fu Rong saw Xu Xun drinking tea without even daring to raise his head. He immediately smiled and said, "It's not easy for you to be a solitary child and still maintain an innocent heart. Yesterday, someone happened to be with us.
After attending your sixth uncle's promotion banquet, I recognized you again, and saw your calligraphy, so I suddenly got the idea and asked someone to give you a piece of our family's famous tattoo. Speaking of those two sentences, it's like
It’s really wonderful. Although there are many bosses on the ground in Nanjing, they don’t seem to be so passionate.”
When Xu Xun sent that calligraphy, he wanted to make the young and old in the clan think that he still had someone to rely on. He did not expect to meet a high-ranking boss like Fu Rong. Therefore, when the other party pointed out his past,
He quickly and carefully considered it, so now facing such a sudden problem, he could finally calm down, but a embarrassed expression appeared on his face.
"Eunuch Fu, that uncle... Actually, my father has been away for many years without any news. He has no old friends with him at all."
Thinking of the famous Dongchang and Jinyiwei these days, Xu Xun made a choice in the flash of lightning when Fu Rong first revealed his identity. Sure enough, when these words came out, Fu Rong was not surprised at all, but the middle-aged man smiled.
When he got up, he knew that he was on the right track this time. The people in Xu's family room might not check anything, but who were these two people in front of him?
Therefore, without waiting for others to ask further questions, he said with a hint of sadness: "When I was still working hard in the early years, I met a gentleman, and I learned that word from him. The words on this banner,
It was written by the boy himself, and it was indeed written by his left hand. As for the words, it was a chance coincidence in the boy's early years... The boy has indeed gone astray for a long time, but he doesn't want to be bullied like this, and he doesn't want the property that his father has accumulated all his life to fall into the hands of others.
.”
Xu Xun had vague memories of practicing calligraphy when he was a child, but he only remembered that the man died in poverty, and he spent some money to bury him. Since the person opposite was such a big shot, he must have investigated and found out the cause.
It is always safest to attribute it to the dead. As for the words, I don't think others can even find out who I met three or four years ago.
"That's it." Fu Rong looked at Xu Xun with a smile, his eyes flashing with an unpredictable light, "Those two sentences cannot be written by a person who has not experienced many vicissitudes of life. But it's just those words,
I really can’t tell that it was written by a young man like you. We did not misjudge the person. You are sincere and not one of those people who tell lies.”
Having said this, Fu Rong looked at the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man quickly leaned over and said, "My father-in-law studied in the Neishu Hall since he was a child, and has served Cheng Hua Ye and the current emperor for many years. Who can see people with this kind of vision?"
For example, after Xu Xun bought paper, pen, and new ink, he didn't go to any other house. The scroll was indeed written by him. Speaking of which, he was also good at calligraphy when he was young. It's a pity that those in the Xu family
It’s because he doesn’t have the support of his parents, so he looks down upon others. Otherwise, if he studies hard, he will definitely have a bright future.”
Although the middle-aged man only spoke a few words, Xu Xun was keenly aware that the other party's pursuit of him was indeed unusually careful. Seeing Fu Rong ponder slightly, as if he was a little regretful, although he was puzzled in his heart, he couldn't express it. Until
Freshly cooked delicacies were delivered again. Fu Rong raised his hand to use his chopsticks, and then he focused on these delicacies.
He had just eaten some snacks to satisfy his hunger, and then he was trying his best to cope with Fu Rong's interrogation. Naturally, he was already ravenous. People praised him for his sincerity, so he simply put all his uneasiness and other emotions out of the sky.
, there was no ambiguity about whether he should eat or drink. He didn't raise his head until his stomach was almost full, and saw Fu Rongzheng looking at him with interest. Knowing that this powerful man had barely moved his chopsticks, he should
After looking at his eating appearance for a long time, he had to straighten his clothes and get up.
"Eunuch Fu..."
"Okay, okay, there's no need to say anything!" Fu Rong waved his hand casually, and then said pleasantly, "It's a good thing that you can eat well at a young age. By the way, didn't you tell Madam Xiao before that you should eat as soon as possible?
Are you going back? Is there anything else going on at home?"
The conspiracies and calculations in the clan only flashed through his mind, and Xu Xun pressed down on the idea of telling the newly met Quan Jian, and thus once and for all, he bowed down respectfully and said: "Eunuch Fu, at home,
It's okay, it's just that it's night time at three o'clock in the morning. Although it's only a quarter of an hour's journey back from here, if you miss the time and violate the night time, it will be a big deal, so I said you should go back as soon as possible."
"Well, then you go back." Fu Rong nodded slightly, then looked at the middle-aged man beside him and said, "Chen Lu, pick someone to give him a ride. It's already two o'clock in the morning. If you don't catch up, you will
It would be nice to have people from the Army and Horses Division patrolling at night, so there is an explanation."
Now that Fu Rong had spoken, Xu Xun was not polite, but thanked him a little. When he came to the door, he suddenly turned around again, with a hesitant expression on his face, and then walked back and took another
He took out the big red thorn in his arms and handed it over with both hands: "Eunuch Fu, I can't keep this kind of thing, so please take it back."
"Hey, our family never has the habit of taking back the things we give out!" Fu Rong waved his hand casually, and then said meaningfully, "Besides, our family has plenty of these things, but for you, I want to use them.
But it’s very big.”
"Yes, thank you very much, Eunuch." Knowing that he had deceived Fu Rong, Xu Xun was greatly relieved. Just as he was about to leave again, he suddenly remembered something and asked tentatively, "Eunuch Fu, I don't know what happened?
A prince..."
"Don't worry, I have already given my family's name. I don't think he will come to trouble you. He is not that kind of person. It's a pity for Wei Guogong's brother-in-law. The eldest sister got married early, and there are so many people around her who are flattering her.
A good child has been brought up bad."
Seeing Xu Xun showing a relieved expression, he handed over his hands again and left. When the middle-aged man closed the box door and turned around, Fu Rongcai smiled and said: "This boy, thanks to your careful inquiry, is indeed an honest man. He can write.
A good word, this is also a good thing, but it is a pity that you said that he studied for three years in the ethnic studies, and then read books intermittently. Although there are many books left by his father at home, but
After all, it’s quite a bit different. Besides, he’s really a few years older.”
"What my father-in-law said is true." Chen Lu lowered his head respectfully, but then smiled and said, "But whether you study or not, although it is important, it is not indispensable. What is important is character and character. What a nonsense.
Many years ago, the prodigal son suddenly turned around, and when his clan members were plotting to expel him from the clan, he came up with the idea of falsely recruiting help. However, in front of his father-in-law, he could clearly understand the situation and tell the truth. It was clear that he had a pure heart when he walked away, but
They are not lacking in intelligence, and they also have respect for people and their dealings. Only by giving such people a thumbs up will they not hurt themselves."
