"You are right." Fu Rong nodded in agreement, and then sighed, "It's just like you. With your talents, whether civil or military, as long as you start from scratch, you deserve this position now.
, but the bad thing is that you are called an internal minister. Brother Chen is the person that our family admires most in our life. Although he has passed away, the emperor recalled the past friendship and promoted you three children of the Chen family, especially
It’s your stepson…”
"I am an orphan in my family. If my late father had not taken me under his knees, how could I be where I am today? My father-in-law praised me for my talent, but I really feel ashamed. If it wasn't for my late father's protection, I would have taken the right path in the imperial examination and become a scholar.
It's amazing." Chen Luna showed a trace of confusion on his face, and then he said seriously, "Not to mention me, my father-in-law seems to appreciate Xu Xun very much, but you still have to think about it. After all, you are in Nanjing now.
, it’s thousands of miles away from the capital, but it’s hard to predict the situation accurately.”
"Well, let's take a look again!" Fu Rong sighed wanly, then leaned back on the chair and suddenly laughed, "Listening to his tone before leaving, I guess he should know who the rescuer is and us.
Our family only has one heir, and he has only one grandchild. He happened to be drunk that day and actually 'slip' and fell into the moat! He was a child, and if he hadn't been in the house,
How could Xue be so devastated and so drunk that he almost lost his life when he was ridiculed by those disciples who claimed to be from a scholarly family?"
Fu Rong suddenly emphasized the word "slip". Chen Lu understood and immediately lowered his head and said: "Don't worry, father-in-law, I will definitely investigate this matter to the end and give you an explanation."
"I can rest assured that you are doing the job, but if we continue to investigate this matter, it won't be settled." Fu Rong sighed in dismay.
Seeing that Fu Rong looked bad, Chen Lu quickly changed the subject and said: "Looking at the way Xu Xun looked when he first met my father-in-law, I guess he didn't expect your identity at all. The only people in the world who can be assassinated with big names, except those in the Imperial Academy, are not my father-in-law.
These heroes from the inner study hall?"
"What a handsome man, our family has long been old!" Fu Rong sneered, and then said lazily, "You should also keep an eye on the Xu family, but don't interfere in his affairs. Let's see how he uses our family.
The famous red thorn."
"My father-in-law didn't take back the famous thorn, so it was for this reason?" Chen Lu saw Fu Rong showing a complacent look, so he leaned into Fu Rong's ear and whispered, "Let him, an insignificant person, hold this thing, father-in-law."
But you want to see his character?"
"Yes, that's right! If you can risk your own life to save others, fabricate a noble uncle, and tell the truth in front of our family, if you still know how to use this thing, you will be able to enter the palace in the future.
You won’t eat people until they have no bones left! What kind of things are there serving the prince? Some of them have never even been to the inner study hall and don’t know a single Chinese character. It’s no wonder that the civil servants in the court are so verbose in admonishing them.
stop!"
After laughing, seeing that the table was full of dishes that were almost untouched, Fu Rong waved his hand and told Chen Lu to sit down and take a few bites at will. Seeing that he was taking each dish one by one without picking or picking, he smiled and said: "That little guy
I don’t know if he regards you as a servant, but he might be surprised if he knows that you are the commander of the Nanjing Jinyi Guard."
"I'm not a big shot. It doesn't matter whether he knows or not." Chen Lu finished pulling the rice in the bowl, immediately put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth casually and stood up, "It's getting late, I'd better take the lead.
Escort father-in-law back first?"
Fu Rong was about to answer when he heard a rapid knock on the door from outside the box. Seeing Chen Lu go to answer the door, he frowned slightly. After a while, he simply turned around and saw Chen Lu and a follower outside the door.
They were whispering something to each other, and looked very unhappy. He couldn't help but lower his face and shouted: "Is there anything you can't say in front of our family?"
Chen Lu made a gesture and told his entourage to go out, then closed the door himself and turned around. Seeing Fu Rongduan sitting there with a displeased face, he swallowed back the word "it's okay" when he said it, and the next moment he
He said frankly: "Father, the criminal department impeached Shi Zhongshihou, the engineering department impeached Zhao Qin, and several other Qingliu. Please ask the emperor to remove the three of us Chen family from their official positions."
"Bah, are they finished yet?" Fu Rong was furious for a moment, and he pressed the table fiercely and stood up, "Seeing that the emperor was so angry, he played up one sentence after another, what he really wanted to say
They don’t want to abolish Dongchang and Jinyiwei, but they want the emperor to rule the world with the scholar-bureaucrats like the emperors of the Song Dynasty, but they don’t care about their virtues! If it weren’t for Chen Zusheng, where would the current emperor be?
You are not a corpse-eater, so why bother with them!"
Even when he just talked about his adopted son, Fu Rong had a good-natured look on his face, but now he was suddenly angry and extremely fierce. Chen Lu stood beside him silently until Fu Rong sat down slowly on the table.
Then he said softly: "Eunuch, don't worry too much. After all, this is not the first time. The emperor will definitely reject it."
"We can't go on like this. They say that everyone in the court today is a gentleman, but they just beat Li Guang to the ground. After all, that guy deserves to die, but they still keep pulling the tails of our family, and they want to kill them all.
It’s intolerable and intolerable!”
*********************************
After leaving the Qingping Building, Xu Xun naturally didn't know that there was a different scene in the private room in the building. It was already late at this time, but the Qingping Building was by the Qinhuai River, so it was naturally not like the other buildings that changed from noisy to noisy as soon as night fell.
The streets and alleys became silent. At this moment, light boats were everywhere on the Qinhuai River, and cars and sedans were flowing continuously around him. Most of the people who caught his eye were wealthy people covered in silk and satin. Most of the cars and sedans that pulled over to listen were also bright, so he relaxed
They found Jin Liu's carriage, but Jin Liu was nowhere to be seen.
Surprised, he looked in all directions for a moment, but all he could see was a sea of people everywhere, and he couldn't find anyone for a while. Just as he was hesitating, a familiar-looking carriage suddenly stopped in front of him. The driver jumped out of the car.
After opening the car door and placing the pedals, someone got out of the car with a smile on his face. Who else could it be if it wasn't Wu Shouzheng?
"Seventh Young Master, are you going back?"
Compared with when they met in the morning, although he was still smiling, Wu Shouzheng's mentality was very different at this moment. In the morning, he just treated him as a young boy who could be bought with a mere amount of money. Even if things didn't work out, it didn't matter.
But when he saw that scene upstairs, heard those words, and found out the identity of the so-called Mr. Fu, his heart was filled with fear rather than awe. So, he wanted to have a look on his face.
It was extremely flattering, even though Xu Xun just nodded casually when he heard the words, he still diligently opened the car door and brushed the pedals under his head with his sleeves.
"I'm just on my way, can I give the Seventh Young Master a ride?"
Since Jin Liu couldn't be found, I was afraid that he would inevitably encounter a night ban while walking back. Although the big red famous thorn in his arms was still there, taking it out to clear the way for everyone was like killing a chicken with a knife. Therefore, Xu Xun
Without thinking much, he bowed his head and got into the car with a thank you. After sitting down, he saw Wu Shouzheng coming up and closing the car door. He then brought a box over with a smile. He waved his hand and said, "No need to work, just now
I'm already full thanks to Eunuch Fu's hospitality."
"That's it, that's it."
When Wu Shouzheng saw Xu Xun mentioning Eunuch Fu when he said this, his tone did not change at all, and he was even more horrified. He secretly complained that he was blind and could not see Mount Tai, and was annoyed that the prince saw no use in him.
It was a silver gun head. So, he had to put all his energy into flattery, but no matter what he said, Xu Xun just said yes or ah vaguely. He just felt that the young man opposite was all slippery and had nowhere to start, and he was annoyed.
, he suddenly noticed a cry of surprise coming from outside, and then the carriage actually stopped.
"what happened!"
Just as Wu Shouzheng asked, he saw the car door being opened violently, and then the coachman suddenly stuck his head in and shouted: "Master, there's a house on fire ahead!"
As soon as he said this, Wu Shouzheng gave it up, but Xu Xun raised the curtains and looked at the surrounding environment. Without saying anything, he immediately jumped out of the car and looked into the distance. When he could clearly see the direction of the fire, he was worried.
Jumping, he immediately turned around and shouted sternly at the stunned horseman: "Quick, get to the place where the fire happened immediately!"
The groom was still hesitating, and Wu Shouzheng, who had come to his senses, shouted angrily at him: "What are you doing standing still? Just do whatever the Seventh Young Master says, hurry up!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Xu Xun in a flattering manner, pulled him into the car, and then patted his chest and promised: "Seventh Young Master, don't worry, my car is specially made by the craftsmen in the county. It runs smoothly and stably."
Hurry, we’ll be there in a minute!”
