Although the Jinyiwei of the Hongzhi Dynasty have long lost the prestige of their predecessors, in folk rumors, these three words still have an unusually sinister reputation. So, it was as if a cold wave suddenly swept through this small courtyard.
Yes, those clamors and questions were all frozen in everyone's mouth. Especially Mr. Xu, who fell down on his chair at this moment, his face turned blue and white, and even his lips were trembling slightly.
Xu Jin stood up. Xu Jin, who had just opened his mouth to question, was hit by such an obscene remark. Although he was young and strong and was not dizzy, he couldn't help but take several steps back under Chen Lu's gaze.
His father and younger brother were both useless. Xu Dong saw that Mr. Xu San and Mr. Xu Si were both silent, and saw Zhao Qin's face was ashen and silent. No matter how reluctant he was, he had no choice but to step forward and cup his hands.
Said: "Commander Chen, what happened today..."
"What happened today?" Chen Lu raised his eyebrows playfully, and glanced sideways at Zhao Qin, "Didn't someone just take out the autographed letter from Xu Bian? If the elders in the clan are unkind, give her mother's surname
, it’s okay to leave the clan. Since so many elders from the clan leader to the lower ones feel that Xu Xun has acted rebelliously, then it’s okay. From now on, he will no longer be a member of the Xu clan in your Taiping! But it’s the same thing.
If the Duke of Wei wants to write a letter of commendation after reunification, then we should continue as usual."
Relying on his composure gained from years of experience in the Duke of Wei's mansion, Wan Quan remained silent since the eunuch talk suddenly broke out, until Chen Lu appeared. When he heard these words, he suddenly laughed,
He nodded repeatedly and said: "Mr. Chen is absolutely right. One thing is another thing, and the promise and invitation of the Duke of Guo will naturally remain as usual."
"That's good." Chen Lu then turned to Xu Xun, nodded slightly and said, "Xu Xun, your father asked you to take your mother's surname in that letter. Do you know what your mother's surname is?"
"Master Chen, although my father left that letter, I can leave the clan. From now on, I will no longer be a member of the Xu family in Taiping, but I will never change my surname. No matter when, I will always be my father's son.
, naturally my surname is Xu!”
Seeing Xu Xun lowered his head, but his respectful words showed a bit of stubbornness, Chen Lu unconsciously showed a smile of appreciation on his cold face, and immediately said: "Okay, it's up to you. Only those fields
Just donate it if you donate it. No matter whether your father is here or not, he will definitely not blame you when he learns about it. As for the house, naturally it is still yours."
"Isn't it inappropriate for Commander Chen to be so arbitrary?"
Zhao Qin just said something, and he saw Chen Lu's eyes suddenly looking at him. There was ridicule and sarcasm in his eyes, but more of it was as chilling as a night owl. His reasonable and reasonable expressions
His excuses were actually suppressed. At this time, Chen Lu just looked around at the Xu clan members who were either dumbfounded or afraid to look directly, and said lightly: "It's just a broken yard. If there are still people in your clan who are grievances,
, feel free to send someone to my accounting office to collect the rent!"
As soon as these words came out, even if there were still people who were thinking about Xu Xun's yard, they didn't dare to say anything more for a while. So many people in the Xu family had no choice but to watch Xu Xun, a half-grown man, walk away like this.
After a long time, the stunned people heard a cough.
"Brother, do you still want to worship the ancestors today?" Xu Tao looked at the ashen-faced Mr. Xu and said sarcastically, "I think if the eldest brother is not in good health and cannot support it, it would be better to postpone the ancestor worship today for a few days.
! When such a big incident occurs, our Taiping family’s Xu family’s face will be truly disgraced! I still have something to do in the yamen, so I won’t stay any longer!”
Seeing Xu Hao just fluttering his sleeves and walking away, before Mr. Xu could move his lips and say something, Mr. Xu San and Mr. Xu Si all laughed dryly and excused themselves for being unhappy. For a while, the other brothers of the same generation and so on
After feeling the taste, they all said that they had other important matters, and even the younger ones below were joking: "Isn't this clan meeting just to drive Xiaoqi out? What are you wasting here when everyone is gone!"
"That's right, who will compensate us for how much we will lose if we delay this day's work!"
"Even the land for the second bedroom is gone, how can the elder brother get the money to fill it up!"
Amidst the commotion, Mr. Xu, the clan leader, did not need to say anything. The people in the courtyard that were originally crowded dispersed in a hurry, and after a while, only three or two kittens and puppies were left. Faced with this scene,
, Mr. Xu, who was already furious, pressed his chest tightly, but after all, he held his breath too hard, and he fainted when his head tilted. Then, he inevitably started yelling and screaming again.
, no one even noticed when Zhao Qin and Mr. Luo left the yard.
"You bastard, damn it!"
As soon as he got on the carriage, Zhao Qin could no longer maintain his demeanor in front of others and cursed several times. Then he sighed dejectedly and said with annoyance and resentment: "A nest of snakes and rats, really a nest of snakes and rats."
!That old eunuch has been humiliating for many years, but this time he actually jumped out to fight against me!"
This was the first time Mr. Luo saw Zhao Qin acting so rude. He remained silent at first. It was not until Zhao Qin scolded the old eunuch angrily that he said lightly: "Dong Weng, Eunuch Fu was in the palace back then.
At that time, he was also the number one person. This kind of people have not made a move for many years, but now they are attacking Dong Weng. You need to be careful of the drunkard who is not interested in drinking. "
Zhao Qin was about to reach out for his beloved purple clay pot, but when he heard these words, his hand froze in mid-air. After a while, he retracted his hand, looked straight at Mr. Luo and asked:
"Brother Luo, do you mean that what happened today was the result of the old eunuch's deliberate plan and that he came here just for me?"
"How can I dare to say for sure, it's just a possibility."
Seeing Zhao Qin's complexion suddenly change, and then he closed his eyes and showed hesitation, Mr. Luo couldn't help but smile, and opened his mountain and water folding fan twice as if nothing happened. He was sure that Zhao Qin would definitely go deeper on this road.
consider.
It's a surprise that such an insignificant prodigal son of the Xu family can actually cause such a fierce collision! However, that kid is really cruel, whether to others or to himself!
*************************************
Following Chen Lu out of the Xu family ancestral hall, he first said goodbye to Wan Quan, the general manager of Wei Guogong's palace. Xu Xun couldn't help but let out a long breath. It would be an exaggeration to say that he felt refreshed. He seemed to have paid a heavy price today.
He succeeded in getting rid of the greedy relatives of the Xu family, but compared to winning the bet, the price was really not worth it. In order to achieve such a dramatic effect today, he had to die and use up many brain cells.
With so much energy, all the baggage on my body was finally thrown away!
"Hello!"
Unable to show this kind of ease on his face, his steps became more and more brisk. At this moment, a call suddenly came from his ears. Seeing Chen Lu in front of him, he also suddenly stopped walking. The eagle-like
Looking around, he noticed the source of the sound first, apologized to Chen Lu, and immediately walked to the car parked under the opposite wall.
"Are you here again?"
"What do you mean again!"
A slender hand opened the curtain angrily, and what was immediately revealed was a familiar pretty face. But at this time, her face was full of anger, and the eyes staring at Xu Xun were even more angry.
anger.
"If the eldest lady hadn't asked me to come here to see how you are doing today, I wouldn't have made this trip! My kindness will not be rewarded!"
"You still have such a bad temper at this point. I just said one sentence and you said so much in one breath." Before the little girl ran away again, Xu Xun smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm going to do this today."
The test has passed safely, and from now on, I will have no connection with the Xu family."
"Don't worry, who is worried about you..." The little girl snorted angrily, but the relief on her face could not be concealed. Seeing Xu Xun looking at her and laughing, she immediately let go and threw down the curtain angrily.
He turned his back and leaned against the wall of the carriage, "As long as you pass the test...wait a minute, what does it mean to no longer be related to the Xu family?"
Seeing that the curtains that had just fallen suddenly were lifted up again, and there was a surprised face in front of him, Xu Xun couldn't help but smile. However, he had already caught a glimpse of Chen Lu waiting over there and frowned, so he had to keep the story short.
: "I will tell you the details when I have time later. Since you escaped secretly, don't wait too long and go back early! Otherwise, you will be found out later and you will be beaten and punished if you don't tell lies.
It’s too late for you to complain.”
Shen Yue, who was holding the window, looked at Xu Xun and turned around with a smile, and couldn't help but retorted: "I know I'm just talking nonsense, I came out with my godmother seriously..."
"Which family has such a rule that the girl has to dress up as a man every time she goes out?"
