Seeing that it was Xu Xun, the young master came over with a smile. Compared with Xu Xun's shabby appearance, he was dressed in a sky-blue silk trousers and a turban with a bit of jade, so his appearance was quite impressive.
He looks older than Xu Xun, and is a head taller. His eyebrows are two or three points similar, but he often squints his eyes, which makes him look even more sinister.
When he got closer, he sneered and said: "Seventh brother, I thought you would have a better memory after suffering a loss once, but I didn't expect that you still hang out with such a lowly person. It's true that birds of a feather flock together!"
Remembering that this was Xu Jin, the eldest son of Mr. Xu, who ranked third in the clan. Xu Xun raised his eyebrows and immediately said with a half-smile: "Since you think this place is humble, what is the third brother doing here?"
"This is my territory, why can't I come?" Xu Jin looked around and said with a sarcastic sneer, "Give that good old man a message. If he takes it within ten days,
If you don’t pay a hundred gu in rent, get out of this peaceful place!"
Seeing Xu Xun frowning, a young man behind Xu Jin immediately jumped in and said proudly: "My young master just spent one hundred and twenty guan to buy this yard. From now on, this yard belongs to my young master! That good old man
He still owed one month's rent, plus the next year's rent, so the young master will only charge him a hundred guan to show his mercy! If he can't pay it back, then pack up and get out as soon as possible!"
Regarding this kind of little trick, Xu Xun, who has been born in two generations, was very clear in his heart, but he smiled slightly and said: "I see. Third brother has a good sense. The location of this yard has good orientation and good feng shui. Third brother bought it. Could it be that
Are you planning to renovate and move in here when you get married in the future?"
Xu Jin was furious when he heard this, and almost touched Xu Xun's face with his finger: "How could I, the young master, like such a shabby place?"
"In this case, Third Brother is willing to spend money!" Xu Xun's expression did not change at all. When he saw many passers-by on the street casting curious glances, he deliberately raised his voice and said, "In a shabby yard, Third Brother is actually spending money."
I paid more than a hundred guan to buy it, which is really rich. Although the Xu family's house is not short of the two money, they spent so much money to buy a shabby yard. The last time they renovated the clan school, they said they had no money to refute it, which is very strange.
"
"You..." Xu Jin saw more and more eyes looking around, and couldn't help but feel angry. Thinking that a big thing was about to happen, and if he acted rashly, his father would definitely give him another good beating when he went back. He could only snort and yell at the two children.
The boy hooked his hand and said, "Come on, I don't have time to argue with you, and I don't bother to waste time on this shabby place! You two, come and collect the bill on time. If you don't get the money, you can demolish this shabby yard for me.
!”
"Yes, Master!"
Seeing the three masters and servants walking away angrily, Xu Xun was about to turn around and go back to the yard. When he turned his head, he found that Xu Liang, who should have been drunk on the bed, had come out from nowhere, and was just standing at the gate in a daze. You two, you
Looking at me, Xu Xun saw that Xu Liang's face was still red and the smell of alcohol was still on his body, so he stepped forward apologetically.
He just called him uncle, and Xu Liang waved for him to come in, then closed the courtyard door, and then sneered angrily: "A few old customers stopped hiring me to fetch water a few days ago. I knew someone was causing trouble."
, Now it seems that it is indeed the case. My shabby yard originally only cost three hundred cash per month to rent. If he wants to buy it, he can buy it. At worst, I will go live with my old friend next door for a few more days."
"No, no, no, I don't want such a nasty guest to come and ask for a hundred dollars of rent!"
Hearing such a voice, Xu Xun looked up and saw a bald head protruding from the wall over there. At first glance, it was fine, but when he took a closer look, he found a few ring scars on the bald head, which made him laugh.
He was startled. Immediately afterwards, the bald man pressed the wall and jumped to the ground. The invisible clothes on his body seemed to be a monk's robe. Before he could ask, the middle-aged monk gave him a
Shi Ran came over.
"I originally thought that Xu Ba was unlucky. He met a noble man who treated him to drinks and meat. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a man who caused big trouble. Xu Ba, I'm sorry, I still want to live in peace here.
I’ve been living here for a few years, and I don’t want to offend the Xu family, the local gangsters in Taiping. Also, Xu Qishao, don’t just wander around like there’s nothing wrong with you, you’ll be in much bigger trouble than Xu Bake!”
Seeing that Xu Liang, the person concerned, was rejected by the monk, he didn't take it seriously. He just shrugged with a wry smile. Xu Xun, an outsider, naturally would not get angry and stand up and accuse others of not being loyal enough. As for the last reminder, he felt a move in his heart.
, but the monk’s friendship was shallow and deep. He couldn’t figure out the root cause for a while, so he didn’t ask. He just nodded and understood. However, when he didn’t ask, Xu Liang grabbed the monk and asked angrily.
Said: "Don't speak half-heartedly. What's the trouble with Brother Xun? Why don't I know?"
"Believe it or not. Although you walk around the streets in Taiping all day long, the people you meet are all unworthy people. Of course, there is no place to get this information."
The monk raised his eyebrows, and then shook his sleeves to free himself from Xu Liang's hand: "The elders of the Xu family are working together to hold a clan meeting to get rid of Xu Qishao, a thorn in his side. It is said that they have also won over the Shen family. Shen
Isn’t he engaged to me? Nowadays, many properties under his name are getting more and more prosperous. If he sees a prodigal son, he is naturally happy to follow him and add insult to injury. "
"That old bastard? Mr. Xu Er helped him a lot back then, and he treats his benefactor's son like this?"
"Oh, now and then, you see Xu Qishao didn't even blink an eyelid. Why are you, an outsider, making noise?" The monk said, walking up to Xu Xun with a half-smile, holding his hand in front of Xu Xun.
His eyes flickered, "Xu Qishao, do you really not care, or are you so angry that your lungs explode and you can't speak?"
Although the words spoken by the monk were unpleasant, Xu Xun had heard all the mean words in his previous life, so he didn't care about them. If the attitudes shown by Mr. Xu and Xu Jin made him wary, then,
The news at this time undoubtedly represented a severe existential crisis. Looking at the playful monk, he looked at the monk intently and suddenly asked: "I wonder what the Ming Dynasty Law has to say about breaking off the engagement?"
"The Law of the Ming Dynasty?" The monk was stunned by Xu Xun's question, and then he laughed dumbly, "I don't know, you are quite capable, and you are better than that old guy like Xu Ba! If you really follow the Law of the Ming Dynasty, the man must follow the Law of the Ming Dynasty.
To break off the engagement, all the previous betrothal gifts will go to the woman. If the woman is unwilling to go to the government to file a lawsuit, the man will be given eighty cents. But if the woman wants to break off the engagement and the man is unwilling to go to the government, then even the person who marries her in the future will be unlucky.
That being said, if it really gets into trouble with the government, it depends on which side has a stronger backstage."
Speaking of this, the monk suddenly paused, and then smiled thoughtfully: "However, Mr. Shen probably doesn't want to make things worse and ruin his reputation. This is actually a little trick. As long as you start to change it,
Go out, you are not a descendant of the Xu family. Even if the marriage certificate is still there, this marriage has nothing to do with you. Is it possible that the Xu family is willing to find an outstanding match for their daughter? "
The previous explanation just solved Xu Xun's urgent need to understand the law of the Ming Dynasty, and the last sentence was even more meaningful. He understood it as soon as he thought about it. When he was thinking about it, Xu Liang punched him drunkenly.
Hitting the wall: "It is said that people from aristocratic families kill without blood. I didn't expect that even a small family like the Xu family can be so vicious!"
After hearing the complaint, the monk shrugged indifferently: "You have lived a long time to understand this truth? Isn't the reason why you suffered such a disaster because you saved Xu Qishao's life?
Otherwise, he will be dead for a long time, and others will just sit back and enjoy the results!"
"It's okay, uncle, don't worry. There will be a road for the car to reach the mountain, and it will be straight for the boat to the bridge." In just a short while, Xu Xun calmed down. He has never been a person who only gets angry when things happen.
On the contrary, he comforted Xu Lianglai. When the drunken old man impatiently unbuttoned his clothes and opened his arms, he said, "Uncle, if you hadn't saved me, I wouldn't have caused so much trouble."
"Brother Xun, what are you talking about? The old man only knows how to live up to the conscience of heaven and earth, so he doesn't care about these troubles!" Xu Liang snorted at the monk angrily, then turned around and said, "Besides, I am an old man
Bones, you don’t have to stay here with Monk Huitong to make a living. If you have this strength, where can’t you find a job? In short, Brother Xun, please go back and worry about your own affairs. I have nothing to worry about, so it’s easy to handle!
"
Eager to digest the news he had just received, and with Xu Liang's repeated urging, Xu Xun left without staying too long. As soon as he left, Xu Liang was about to get angry at Monk Huitong, but unexpectedly, his old friend opposite him suddenly
Laughed.
"Xu Ba, if your child hadn't died, would he be about the same age as him?"
Xu Liang's face suddenly darkened and he scolded in a rough voice: "I just looked at him and thought about my past, what does it have to do with my poor child! Besides, it was his father who helped buy a thin coffin at that time.
He also helped me with a few thousand dollars, but I am not like that old bastard from the Shen family, I will remember all these kindnesses!"
"Okay, okay, even if it is like this." The middle-aged monk shrugged and skipped this problem, then suddenly winked and said with a smile, "Then how about we make a bet?"
Upon hearing the bet, Xu Liang immediately became vigilant and frowned at the other party: "What are you betting on?"
"I'll bet that your old friend will definitely be able to pass this test. What do you think? Do you want to bet?"
"Bah, bah, bah!" Xu Liang spat on the ground angrily, and then said viciously, "If I fall into your trap again, my surname will not be Xu! I am very good at judging people, old man, and he will never be like this.
Unlucky, of course I bet he will turn the bad luck into good luck!"
"Then it's over? Why are you still angry at me?" Monk Huitong chuckled, shook the sleeves of his broad monk robe and said, "If he passes this test and is angry with you for saving his life, you will be counted as one."
This house has been taken over, and he will most likely invite you to live with him. Why do you still care about my poor place?"
