Do factory guards still have such a miserable situation?
Although he couldn't believe it, the fact was before him. A relatively prosperous figure in the former West Factory was now standing in front of him wearing clothes that were slightly better than the tattered wanderer. He even relied on an ultimatum to live a peaceful life until now.
Therefore, although Xu Xun wanted to laugh, he thought that the person who pushed him to the point of almost jumping over the wall was not so much the Xu family, but a rather famous Qingliu, commonly known as Hehe Zhongliang. His smile
It turned into a sigh.
"I mean, monk, what happened to the other two things I asked you to ask about?"
"The other two things?" Huitong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, and immediately sneered, "Ruisheng, that bastard, I packed up my bed and ran away without a trace a few days ago, even leaving my mother-in-law and daughter behind. That mother-in-law didn't
Ye Suo quickly remarried someone else without waiting for two days. As for whether she knew about Ruisheng's affair, the time was too short to inquire. As for the rest of the matter, you have no time to take care of yourself, so why are you asking about these disasters?
Yingtian Prefecture, Fengyang Prefecture, Luzhou Prefecture, and nearby Chuzhou and Hezhou have been experiencing drought for several months. It rained a little in the past few days. The drought is inevitable. The state and county officials are rushing to repair water conservancy for this purpose.
As for household apportionment, Duke Wei Guogong is in charge of Nanjing. He is worried about picking up a hot potato. He is very worried. The price of food on the market has increased by 50%... But these are businessmen's affairs, the court's affairs, and ours.
What’s the connection?”
"Of course it's related." The previous time, after listening to Mrs. Jin Liu's words, he temporarily asked Ruisheng to inquire about the price of grain and cloth, but this time Xu Xun did it intentionally, so he didn't look at Huitong's puzzled expression.
He said softly, "If there is really a drought, profiteers will regard this as an opportunity to make money, but we can also regard this as an opportunity for us to turn around."
"What did you say?"
Before Huitong could think about this, Xu Xun suddenly changed the topic and asked: "By the way, great monk, are you sure that Eunuch Fu has almost no staff in the palace?"
"That's right." This official business was Huitong's specialty, so he quickly put aside his previous confusion and nodded sharply, "It is a wise saying that people go to the capital of Nanjing to drink tea.
It's just for old age, so don't expect to have much influence on the emperor. Therefore, except for two smart sons who are now getting along just fine, the rest of Eunuch Fu's godsons have long since become useless, and there is no one around the prince.
I can't get it together. In recent years, Eunuch Fu has sent several groups of people from Nanjing to Beijing, but I heard that they were like nothing. Hey, maybe Eunuch Fu is interested in you because you have no father.
If you don’t have a mother to control, if you castrate yourself and send her to the palace, maybe you can give birth to a powerful eunuch?”
Seeing that Xu Xun didn't even blink when he heard this, and was silent for a long time while tapping the bark of the willow tree with his fingers, Huitong finally couldn't help but asked: "Speaking of Xu Qishao, are you planning to let me take my willow tree with you?"
Are the only members of my team going to join Eunuch Fu?"
Xu Xun, who was thinking about it, almost choked on his own saliva when he heard Huitong's words. He finally stopped coughing for a long time, and he said angrily and funny: "Master, you think too highly of yourself.
!Even if Eunuch Fu has left the center now, he is still considered a prominent figure in Nanjing. Even if Chen Lu has limited manpower, if something happens, he can still dispatch the Jin Yiwei. Others only need to think carefully, you, the old Xichang department
It’s been so many years, and there are still people here, what do you want to do?”
"Then why did you choose to come here?" Hui Tong found it unbelievable. He glanced at the silent screen again and lowered his voice and said, "And you want Rui Sheng to sit in there with such a terrible status? I
I really don’t know what you’re thinking, but you insist on letting me leak the things about Ruisheng and Xu Ba to the people under Chen Lu. Do you think you guys didn’t die quickly enough? If you really messed up, I...
…”
At this moment, Huitong suddenly saw a carriage in the distance and woke up slowly. He squinted his eyes and immediately nodded to Xu Xun and said, "It's your sixth uncle!"
"Okay, leave it to me here. Get the letter I asked you to concoct as quickly as possible. Don't worry about anything else!"
Xu Xun immediately took a breath, winked at Huitong, and walked straight to the small teahouse opposite. After entering the small teahouse, he went straight to the seating area separated on all sides. He walked around behind the screen and gently
He patted Ruisheng's shoulder lightly and then said softly: "Don't be nervous, just do what I told you before."
"Young Master..." Ruisheng held his hands, his upper and lower teeth chattering. It took him a while to calm down under that gaze, but he still couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "If you can just find someone outside, wouldn't it be much better than me?"
"
"I can't trust others, but I can trust you." Xu Xun saw Ruisheng froze for a moment, so he had to gently press his shoulder again, "Besides, after practicing for so many years, it's fun to just sneak around behind your back. How can it be fun?"
What’s the use? If you can do it in front of others, then that’s called a unique skill!”
Thinking of the years of hard work he had endured in the countryside, of the fragrant white rice he had every day when he arrived in Xujia, and of the young master who had occasionally scolded him at first, but now even though he knew about it, he still treated him as before, Ruisheng suddenly swallowed hard.
He spat, nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry, young master, I will try my best to act!"
"Well done!"
At this moment, the monk Huitong outside the teahouse had disappeared to nowhere. The old shopkeeper was still dozing behind the counter with his eyes narrowed. Only the young man was feebly wiping the table, until Xu Tao, who was alone, crossed over.
Come in through the threshold.
Seeing a guest, the young man greeted him skillfully, nodded and bowed and called "guest officer". Xu You looked around the teahouse when he came in, and said he had an appointment. The young man immediately led him to the teahouse knowingly.
A small private seat. Xu Hao, who lowered his head to enter the room, saw Xu Xun standing beside him, and a screen was blocking it in a corner. He couldn't help but be slightly startled.
"Uncle Six." Xu Xun stepped forward and bowed, then glanced at the screen in embarrassment, then lowered his head and said, "Uncle Shi had some minor injuries a few days ago and it was inconvenient to see people, so he can only do this.
In this situation, please forgive me, Uncle Six."
Remembering that the calligraphy sent to him and the subsequent letters were indeed written in his left hand, and that Fu Rong even met Xu Xun in person for this calligraphy and even gave him a big red tattoo, although Xu Hao was unhappy, he still nodded.
He nodded, then cupped his hands towards the screen and said, "I've met Brother Shi."
"Sixth brother, please sit down."
A warm voice came from behind the screen. Xu You's eyes jumped, and the figure of a gentle scholar was immediately outlined in front of his eyes. After he sat down, he saw Xu Xun personally making tea for him, and then he lowered his hands and stepped aside.
He suppressed the anxiety, suspicion and other emotions in his heart, lowered his head and drank tea. After a slight sound inside, a gentle hoarse cough finally came from the small place.
"The reason for inviting Sixth Brother here today is for the Xu clan meeting tomorrow." The voice behind the screen paused for a moment, and then said unhurriedly, "Xu Xun, you go and watch outside. I have something to say to you.
Your sixth uncle said."
Hearing this voice, Xu Xun couldn't help but glance behind the screen, and saw that Ruisheng was acting as if no one was around and didn't even look at him. His face was motionless, but he was indescribably nervous in his heart, but he still bowed.
He quietly exited the seat and closed the door. As soon as he turned around, he saw Zhu Sihai, who was sitting against the wall, getting up in a hurry, hurriedly waving his hand and walking forward with a smile.
"Brother Zhu, I didn't expect that you would come with Uncle Six in person."
"It's all because of my love... Ahem, no, no, it's because I'm afraid of disturbing others."
Zhu Sihai didn't expect that Xu Xun would come out at this moment, and he was caught off guard and was a little incoherent. After a long while, he finally sorted out the uneasy mood, and talked to Xu Xun with a smiling face. It was different from the smiling face in the past.
Compared with the contempt in his heart, he finally had a little more awe from his heart at this moment, and he was also cautious when testing.
In the past, Xu Xun would naturally have wished for it, but at the moment his mind was not on Zhu Sihai at all. Every time he turned his head to look at the closed box door, his back vest was already soaked. Because he was afraid that the little guy would not remember the performance and screw up.
, he didn’t teach Ruisheng many words, because he was afraid that Ruisheng would make a mistake and not follow the set script, or that Xu You’s words and deeds were beyond his expectations. In that case, he could only use Fu Rong’s name.
If you move out early, the next scene will be difficult to sing.
Fortunately, the ordeal didn't last long. After a while, the door of the box was suddenly opened. Xu You's face was as dark as water when he walked out of it. Even if Xu Xun came forward to greet him, he just nodded slightly and then rushed to Zhu.
Sihai moved his chin slightly. Zhu Sihai understood the idea and hurried out of the teahouse to hail his carriage.
"Your father made many good connections back then, but it's a pity that he never reaped what he sows melons and beans." Xu You said this without thinking, and then suddenly turned his head and looked inside the box, "You...
Blessings are hard to come by, so you have to cherish them!"
Seeing Xu Hao put down his words, he strode out of the teahouse with his hands behind his back and got on the carriage that stopped at the door. Xu Xun was stunned for a moment and then chased after him until he saw the carriage disappearing.
He hurriedly turned back, paid the bill with the shopkeeper, and then turned around and entered the box. Going behind the screen, he saw Ruisheng sitting there blankly, his upper and lower teeth were chattering.
After thinking about it, he stepped forward and patted the little guy on the shoulder: "Good job, let's keep up the good work tomorrow!"
After hearing this, Ruisheng immediately lay down on the table in front of him, his whole body completely softened: "There is still tomorrow..."
