Chapter 10: To meet his preferences (1) ()

Xu Xun had taken trains, cars, motorcycles, bicycles and bicycles in his previous life, but he had never tried a carriage. Today, he had been swaying in the carriage for less than an hour, and he felt dizzy. Now he got off the train again and stood on Fudong Street. He rubbed his temples and calmed down. Then he raised his head and looked at the lively Fudong Street outside the east gate of Yingtian Mansion, and looked at the many buildings that were vaguely visible in the high walls.

It is said that since ancient times, the yamen has a horoscope, so if you have reason or not, don’t come in. The main gate of this yamen has always faced north and south, so the east gate directly leads to the official government office of the Houya. At this moment, while listening to Jin Liu’s explanation, Xu Xun was distracted and looked around, and quickly revisiting the plan in his heart. After all, this Nanjing is not the same Nanjing, and Yingtian Prefecture Yamen is much more important than the Nanjing Municipal Government in later generations.

Since there is a government office next to the wall, there are many cars and horses parked under the wall on the other side of the East Street, dozens of brightly dressed coachmen and sedan chairmen are following each other and slamming their teeth. As for the east gate under the high wall, there are four doors standing there, looking like they are bored, but their eyes are all very profitable, and they are obviously well-trained.

Jin Liu, who was on the side, also looked at him quietly. After hearing this, Xu Xun looked around and walked slowly towards the east gate there as if no one else was around. He couldn't help but feel a little worried. The front door of the government office was a serious official, and the back door was a place where officials were in and out, and only this east gate was a place where all kinds of idle people were waiting to enter and exit. Even so, ordinary people would be scared when they saw such a high wall with majestic place. Even if he was familiar with such a place, he was a little uncomfortable now.

"I'm sorry, can you ask if Brother Zhu, the butler of Master Xu Liu, is here?"

When Xu Xun asked, he had a gentle smile on his face. More importantly, his hand huddled in his sleeves quietly stuffed something into an old man's hand. The old man was also an old man in this industry. He immediately tasted the taste, and his originally ignorant face eased a little.

If you want to meet the top bosses in the government office, even if they are the confidants of those bosses, the people in this brand name dare not act rashly. However, if it is just the experience of the business manager and the recent experience of being promoted, the manager of Xu Tiao will definitely get the errands.

"You have something to do with Butler Zhu?"

"I am Xu Liu's nephew, so I'll discuss something with Brother Zhu."

Knowing that Xu Tiao was promoted, the Xu clan was very enthusiastic about this. So the old disciple decided that it was not a troublesome thing, so he nodded at Xu Xun with a reserved look and signaled him to wait. He immediately waved to the other three disciples. The four of them gathered together and shared the benefits without saying a few words. He turned around and went to the inner room.

Seeing this, Xu Xun retreated to his carriage to avoid stopping the others who were asking for a visit. A gust of cold wind came, and he rubbed his hands to keep warm. Suddenly, he felt a thick sheepskin coat on his shoulder. When he turned his head and saw that it was Jin Liu, he smiled and thanked him.

Jin Liuyuan felt that the master had become a different person since the previous incident. Now he was deliberately trying to please him, so he was more bold and immediately laughed and said, "Young Master is so serious. How can the young man afford to say "Xie"? The young man used to think that he was very familiar with the world. When he saw the young master, he knew what it means to be a real master without a teacher. The car sedan waiting at the wall here, although they looked fresh and bright, their masters were all in the car sedan now! The door of Yingtian Mansion is difficult to enter, and the Wu Dayin is the most honest and square. It is said that he hates people talking about favors or asking for things the most. People who have always come here to ask for a meeting cannot go in for ten stops..."

Xu Xun didn't expect that just the response he had just made was worthy of Jin Liu's flattery. Although he was funny, he couldn't resist Jin Liu's spirit of folding his spirit and saying good things to please him. A smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth. Regardless of his past and present, he had not experienced such a continuous high hat for a long time, and at least relieved his tense nerves these days. Until the old door came out and waved at him, he patted Jin Liu's arm, returned the fur coat, and then quickly walked forward.

When he got closer, the old man gave in and pointed to a young servant behind him and said, "This is Tao Hong from Master Xu Liu's family. If you follow him, you will naturally see Butler Zhu."

"Thank you!"

After thanking him, seeing the old door making way, Xu Xun immediately lifted up the straight hem and stepped over the threshold to enter. The young servant named Tao Hong took two steps to greet him, but looked at Xu Xun with his eyes slanted, and then he frowned and asked, "Young Master, can you ask the emperor?"

"Why, my brother suspects that I am not a member of the Xu family, but I am confused?" Xu Xun looked at Tao Hong with a smile, and said slowly without waiting for him to speak, "Did Tao Hong's name be given to you by Uncle Six? That is Uncle Six Fengya. If it were other uncles in the clan, no one would have given such a good name."

When Tao Hong heard Xu Xun praise his name, he immediately smiled happily: "Does the young master think it's good? The master has only changed it for a few months, saying that it is derived from a good article by Han Changli."

Seeing that Tao Hong was moved, Xu Xun smiled and nodded: "Yes, it is the name of "The Biography of Mao Ying" by Han Changli."

Tao Hong was only thirteen or fourteen years old. His joy immediately threw his original vigilance and guard against him. While leading the way in front, he said with a thrill of spirit: "This is what the master personally raised when I was serving the young master. I was afraid that I wouldn't recognize him, so I wrote those two words to me. I went out to frame it and hung it on the bedside to watch it every day."

Xu Xun was full of smiles when he was said in the last sentence, and he could only echo the um, ah, and not show any joking expressions. He just asked casually, "You know that he has been practicing calligraphy since he was a child. The teacher who once taught him calligraphy for many years is famous for losing his bags. Once, he talked about Han Yu's "Biography of Mao Ying". When talking about Mao Ying's fingering pen, Chen Xuan was ink, Tao Hong was ink, and Mr. Chu was paper. He thought it was novel, so he went back to read it, but he didn't expect to use it this time.

So he smiled and told Tao Hong about the allusion of Mao Ying. Taking advantage of the little guy's vigilance, he asked indirectly that there was still Mr. Mao Ying and Chen Xuan around Xu Tiao. He heard that there was indeed Mr. Chu. As soon as he heard that there was, Tao Hong actually explained a few more words: "Mao Ying and Chen Xuan are all out with the master. In addition to serving the master, I also serve the pen in the study. Mr. Chu is a friend of the master. It was because Mr. Chu joked that the master changed his name to us."

Although these names are irrelevant, Xu Xun thought that he would use them later and didn't know when he would use them. On the contrary, he just took a rough look at the roads of the Houya Office of Yingtian Prefecture, and did not take it too seriously. After all, even if he came again, he would not be able to act like a gentleman on the Liang Dynasty. When Tao Hong led him to a room, he knocked on the door and heard a response. When he followed the door, he immediately cheered up.

"Master Zhu, this is the Young Master Xu who is asking for a meeting."

Standing in front of Butler Zhu, Tao Hong was completely speechless as he had just spoken in front of Xu Xun. While bowing his head in a regular manner, he looked at Xu Xun uneasyly. It was not until this time that the little guy remembered that he had forgotten to ask Xu Xun which room he came from and which one was ranked. If Butler Zhu asked, he would definitely not know about it. Therefore, when he saw Butler Zhu waved his hand at him, he felt like he was amnesty and immediately left Xu Xun and left the house without saying a word.

As soon as he left, Butler Zhu pulled down his face and looked at Xu Xun with a slight smile and said, "Young Master Seven is really capable. Do you know that other people in the clan are hard to talk to, so he simply walked to my master's place?"
