Although Fu Rong said this with a smile and directed it at others, Wang Shikun still felt unspeakable nervousness. It wasn't until Fu Rong turned his head to look at him that he quickly put aside his worries about others.
He went and lowered his head in a hurry. Sure enough, the next moment, he heard Fu Rong's faint voice coming from the front.
"My good nephew used to have a reputation as a playboy. Our family has heard that our ears are calloused. The fact that you can come here tonight, even if it is the instruction of Mrs. Wei, is enough to show that not only do you have good intentions, but you are also a good person."
It's smart. Well, it's so late. If you go back and encounter the night ban, it will be troublesome to tell Duke Wei's name. Go back and rest first. Our family also understands what Mrs. Wei means, and we will definitely pay a visit tomorrow."
"Don't dare, I think it's time for my sister to visit my father-in-law." Wang Shikun hurriedly bowed and saluted, and replied with all his strength. When he straightened up, he turned his head and glanced at Xu Xun, and saw that the other party was smiling.
He nodded, and he asked out of nowhere, "Father-in-law, does Xu Liang, who is imprisoned in the Nancheng Army and Horses Department, want me to say hello again?"
"Can't you tell that Mr. Wang is still an enthusiastic person?" Fu Rong saw that Wang Shikun was silenced by her words, so he gave up the intention of joking again, waved his hands gently and said, "Our family has its own concerns about this matter.
As you said before, I'm sorry Zhu Laosan doesn't dare to embarrass anyone. Remember to say hello to Mrs. Wei when you go back, so that she won't worry about you."
When Wang Shikun retreated, Fu Rong turned to Xu Xun. Although he lowered his hands and did not look at her, the eye contact between Xu Xun and Wang Shikun just now, as well as the warm and proactive attitude when they first met him, plus the previous
Bit by bit, he didn't know the young man's character, so he immediately shouted angrily: "Stop pretending, now you know the rules. When you were full of tricks before, why didn't you know how to be respectful?"
Seeing Xu Xun suddenly raised his head and looked at him in shock, Fu Rong then straightened his face and said: "We are talking about the trick you played on your sixth uncle in the evening!"
"Father-in-law, how do you know..."
Hearing these few words blurted out, Xu Xun seemed to have seen a ghost, and then showed an extremely regretful expression. Fu Rong couldn't help but laugh, resting his elbows on the armrests, glanced sideways at Chen Lu and said: "Listen
Listen, this little guy thinks that your royal guards are all just doing it for free, and he thinks that what he does can be hidden from everyone!"
"Boy... boy..."
"Boy, what are you doing? You're really brave. Even if you pull off your sixth uncle's tiger skin to make a banner tomorrow, you must know that your family, the Xu family, is not without support. Your sixth uncle will be able to stand up to others as soon as they come out.
Live? Besides, you let that little boy servant pretend to be a big shot in the background. How do you plan for him to show up at the clan meeting tomorrow and how do you plan to have him deal with the wolves and tigers of your Xu clan? To be blindly bold is stupid.
!”
"My father-in-law taught me a lesson." Xu Xun lowered his head again, but said word for word, "This young man is helpless and has no choice but to make dangerous moves just like he did at the sixth uncle's promotion banquet in Kuiyuan Tower. Even if
If I can’t keep the little bit of property my father left me, I won’t let outsiders get it in vain.”
Fu Rong frowned suddenly and said displeasedly: "At a young age, you still want to imitate those scholar-bureaucrats who flaunt their loyalty and virtue, why would you rather live in pieces than in pieces?"
"Eunuch Fu thinks highly of me. I just do things based on my heart. How dare I compete with those loyal and good people who say one thing but do another? I only know that I will not offend others unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will offend them.
If you can't defeat the enemy, you will naturally knock the enemy to the ground; if you cannot defeat him, then create an opportunity; if it really doesn't work, it's not that you would rather be broken than destroyed, but that you want to take away my jade, I
Just throw the piece of jade first, and then break his teeth into pieces one day!"
What he said was so categorical, not to mention that Chen Lu, who was standing beside Fu Rong, looked shocked when he heard it. Even Fu Rong frowned into a big knot: "You have never thought about taking out our family's famous thorn to spend the day."
This level?"
"I've thought about it, but... the sixth uncle in my family is an official in the government. Even if he doesn't know this thing, the elders in the clan don't know it either. If he takes it out casually, others won't believe it at first, and... they will also...
It has ruined my father-in-law’s reputation.”
"Hahaha, our family has forgotten this! Just a word "rong" and a big red gold-gilded name badge, others may not be able to recognize it." Fu Rong actually laughed again for a while, then stood up suddenly, but said meaningfully.
Looking at Xu Xun, he said, "But don't underestimate this thing. Take it out when it's time to use it. You and Xu Liang saved our adopted son. Our family's face is in Nanjing. No.
I say I can guarantee you a fortune, but I can still guarantee you safety!"
"Thank you, father-in-law."
Seeing Xu Xun bowing to the ground again, Fu Rong nodded slightly and went straight out of the door. Until Chen Lu followed and helped him, and Xu Xun escorted him out again, he didn't say a word until the carriage slowly started.
After driving a long way, he told Chen Lu next to him: "Tomorrow, you come to the house to pick us up. We want to see what tricks this kid is planning to play then."
Chen Lu was a little unbelievable for a moment: "What tricks does father-in-law really believe he can pull off tomorrow? It should be noted that he doesn't know that there is an engineering department behind the long house for Zhao Qin... Speaking of which, why didn't father-in-law tell him the identity of the little boy servant?
, and Xu Liang’s…”
"There is no need to tell him about Xu Liang for the time being. As for the little boy servant, instead of panicking him at this juncture, it is better to see if anyone will make an issue about it tomorrow. If not, that's it. If there is, then that's it.
, and let's take a look at how he will decide when the time comes." Fu Rong stretched as he spoke, and then said with a half-smile, "I have been extremely bored in the past few years since I left the capital, and it is rare to see a folk show.
But it’s not bad. We have explained everything clearly. Let’s see if he understands what we mean. Don’t let us down!”
Furong and Chen Lu left in a carriage. As soon as Xu Xun returned to the main room, Huitong rushed in. As soon as they met, he slapped the table several times with great sorrow. I saw the poor
The table made a creaking sound under his palm, and finally stood firm without falling apart.
"I say Mr. Xu Qishao, you managed to get Eunuch Fu to come to your house. You can't speak, right? You have to take everything on yourself. Why do you have to take care of things that others can just talk about?
Carry it yourself?"
"You heard it too. What Eunuch Fu said was to keep me and Uncle Xu safe, not to keep us rich. But with the word "safe", what are we afraid of now?"
Seeing that Huitong was suddenly stuck, Xu Xun sat down on the chair with his hands folded: "It is enough to repay the previous life-saving kindness by keeping us safe, but what about us after that? I remember what you said to me last time
He said that Eunuch Fu no longer has many connections in the capital. He is very old, and his adopted son has not yet been able to support his appearance. What he is most worried about is the future. Uncle Xu is now a laid-back man, but in fact he comes from a well-known family. At this time, he is helping
If you give Uncle Xu a favor, how can Uncle Xu not repay the favor in the future?"
Huitong's eyes gradually widened when Xu Xun said that, and he sat down opposite Xu Xun. He looked at him up and down for a while, and then asked word by word: "Is this why you asked me to leak the news to
Chen Lu’s reason? But this is Xu Ba’s matter, what does it have to do with you?”
"You don't know what kind of temper Uncle Xu is? If it weren't for our help, Eunuch Fu would be in Nanjing and out of reach of matters in the capital. Would it be possible?"
Xu Xun asked back angrily. Seeing that Huitong was speechless for a moment, he turned around and went back to the east room. To say that he had no father, no mother, no one to rely on, it was not impossible for Fu Rong to make fun of Huitong.
As mentioned at the time, Xu Liang was lucky enough to have such a life experience. If Fu Rong really thought about the benefits of this matter, then his chance would come!
There are so many top relatives in the Xu family, plus Zhao Qin, who has ulterior motives, and he has no skills in eight-legged essay except writing. It is simply a fantasy to take the imperial examination. He cannot afford to wait for those many years, only
He tried to make progress by taking the wrong path. Fortunately, God was helping him. Wang Shikun came early today and the matter was already settled. Otherwise, if Fu Rong had kicked people out, where would he have found them?
When we meet on a narrow road, the one who is prepared wins! He doesn’t want to be as unknown as a fallen leaf in the Ming Dynasty and rot away in obscurity!
