Chapter 110 - Chapter 111: A noble person helps him and has a good background
From May to June, the people around Nanjing were talking about how the public trial of Yingtian Prefecture was so satisfying. The bosses of various departments and courts, Nanke Censors and Nans Supervisors, and the four Nanjing garrisons with their own mountains, were more concerned about the current situation in Nanjing. Although Peng Li, the governor of Nanzhili, retired, he was still involved in Zhao Qinzhi's case, and even had a trend of liquidation. In the end, the emperor pityed Peng Li and Chenghua's old minister, and said he had gone to Ren Yuzhi, which ended the case that had been pursued infinitely. However, it was inevitable that the two eunuchs, Fu Rong and Zheng Qiang, were in danger of rising.
On this day, Xu Tiao, wearing new clothes, stood outside the magnificent Kaiping Palace, and was quite nervous. It was not until Xu Xun smiled and brought him into it that he felt a little relieved. He had not expected this shocking storm to end in this way at first, but now he still feels like a dream when he thinks about it. Therefore, he is absent-minded and he hasn't reacted when he hears Xu Xun's words, but he quickly raised his head.
"What did you say?"
"I said, I'm going to go to the capital, and I'm in Taipingli, I want to ask Uncle Six to take care of the house."
The Zhao family mansion was returned to Xu Xun, but Xu Xun turned his hand but gave the house to Zhang Mao for use. Of course, Xu Tiao would not know about this matter. While smacking his big move, he couldn't help but praise his nephew's intelligence and become more intelligent. At this moment, he heard that Xu Xun had actually entrusted his house to him for care. He agreed without saying a word, but Xu Xun shook his head.
"Uncle Six, I'm not asking you to send people to take care of you, but said that the house is empty and it's better to let Aunt Liu move in, so as not to let the huge house be empty there." Seeing Xu Tiao's refusal, Xu Xun said sincerely, "I shouldn't be able to come back for a short time, and it's also empty. Uncle Six is not well-off in the Yingtian Prefecture Office. Although the clan returned the ancestral house to you, you have many children and Brother Liu and the others are about to get married. That little place may not be enough to live."
"How can I be so embarrassed..." If it were the past, Xu Tiao refused for a moment and agreed, but now the situation is very different. Xu Xun saw that he had cast a lot of favors from noble people, and he might have become a success in an instant. How could he take such a boring advantage? So, after thinking about it for a moment, he said, "If this is the case, I will calculate the annual rental money..."
"If you want to say this, I'll find someone else." Xu Xun frowned as if he was dissatisfied, and then he said with a smile, "Besides, can I find someone else to see the house for free? If you really want to compensate me, I heard that the Xu clan will re-open the conference in two days. Uncle Six and several clan elders will give up the position of the eldest uncle as the leader. I want to ask Uncle Six to seek justice for Uncle Xu."
Xu Tiao thought for a long time before he figured out who Uncle Xu was. He immediately knew that Xu Xun was going to settle the account. The fire in Taiping was a hot topic. The Changfang was clearly the mastermind of setting fire, but because Zhao Qin was supportive and was almost trapped Xu Liang in the Nancheng Military and Horses Department. Now Zhao Qin has been hanged and the Changfang has no backer. He happened to go to Yingtian Prefecture that day to complain. The wall fell and everyone pushed him. He just followed the situation and responded to everyone's wishes. This matter can be done.
"So it's this little thing. Xiaoqi, don't worry, I will calculate the account with them!"
"Then thank you Uncle Six!"
Since Xu Xun had a clan, he was not good at interfering in clan affairs legitimately, so he gently pushed the matter to Xu Tiao, so he naturally felt relieved. Fu Rong had given him nearly four hundred taels of money to do business before, but he had asked Fu Rong to return it, but he was scolded by the eunuch who was guarding him, so he naturally took it in his pocket. As for other things, his land was donated, and the Zhao family mansion he had just obtained was borrowed. He must not sell his house in Taipingli, but he had to seek justice for Xu Liang, who had nothing, so he had to plan to scrape a layer of oil from the eldest house.
However, after he introduced Xu Tiao to Fu Rong, the Duke of Wei sent someone to invite him, saying that it was Wang Shikun's birthday today. The wife of Wei, Wang, personally, took Xu Xun to sit together. So, seeing Fu Rong also sent him with a smile, and asked him to take Fu Hengan, who happened to be on a monthly vacation today, he had to sue and get up and leave. When Xu Xun left, Fu Rong put away his previous smile, and looked at Xu Tiao's eyes with a little more scrutiny and picky look.
"Xu experience."
"I dare not, father-in-law, please call Xu's name directly."
Xu Tiao couldn't figure out what Fu Rong meant, and he was worried and hurriedly bowed. Fortunately, after he said this, Fu Rong's face seemed to ease a little, but then he heard the other party ask about Xu Bian's affairs back then, but he was really surprised. He answered carefully, and saw that Fu Rong seemed to be unsatisfied, he couldn't help but complain.
"My father-in-law is Xu Xun's father, that is, my second brother Xu Bian has not returned to his hometown for many years. When he came back from time to time, he was only a handful of people staying at home. I heard that he and his first wife were not in harmony, so Xu Xun was raised in the outdoor room."
"It's the adoptive father, not the father, you should remember this one." Fu Rong thoughtfully tapped the table with his fingers. When he saw Xu Tiao, he replied repeatedly. Then he said lightly, "Since the Xu family in Taiping has already left the clan, whether you take over as the clan leader or not, you should smooth this one for our family to avoid any trouble. You should also know that when the imperial court praised him before, the word "adoptional father" was clearly stated in the decree issued by the imperial court."
"My father-in-law means..."
Xu Tiaosu was accustomed and agile, but at this moment he really felt that his mind could not turn around. Until Fu Rong lowered his face, he quickly responded timidly, but he made up his mind to turn around and think about it. However, what he didn't expect was that Fu Rong explained a few words in a moment, and he almost didn't stand up on the spot.
"My father-in-law is saying, my second brother...my second brother actually..."
"That's right. In short, Eunuch Xiao, the chief of the Beijing Municipal Literature, sighed greatly and then reported it to the emperor, so the emperor would approve the cabinet such a commendation."
"Yes, the official understands, understand..."
Fu Rong was already a person that Xu Tiao could not stand up to before. At this moment, Fu Rong mentioned the top boss in the capital again, and Xu Tiao agreed repeatedly. Not long after he wiping his sweat while leaving, Xu Liang, who had been cleaned up, was led to appear in front of Fu Rong. Although it was not as cramped as when he first met, after sitting down in front of Fu Rong, Xu Liang still felt uncomfortable. However, when Fu Rong spoke the first sentence, he was stunned on the spot.
"Xu Liang, do you want a son like Xu Xun?"
Even though Xu Liang had already engraved all the etiquette teachings of those days into his mind, the embarrassing days of the past thirty years still engraved something deeply into his bones. Therefore, he almost subconsciously stood up, took two steps back before he lowered his head and asked carefully: "Brother-in-law... what does this mean?"
"Our family is asking you, if our family says Xu Xun is your son, would you recognize him?"
"ah?"
Xu Liang, who was completely confused, stood there unable to move. At that moment, the scene of Xu Qi carrying his little son out flashed in his mind, the scene of himself crying in front of the grave, and the days and nights that had been in a daze for many years... I don't know how long it took him to say in a difficult voice: "Did you say... Is Mr. Xu not dead when he carried my son out, and after half a year, he took the person back and took it as his son to support him?"
"That's right, that's what our family means!"
Fu Rong didn't expect that before he could suggest this, Xu Liang thought of it first. For a moment, he felt that this old man was still a little jealous. Seeing Xu Liang sitting down suddenly, he would not addictively to saying that he had prepared all the evidence. If he didn't believe that there was someone to prove it, he would stand up like that.
"Anyway, think about it yourself. If you are willing to recognize him and come back, our family will do the rest! But before the matter is done, don't reveal a word in front of that boy Xu Xun. He is too smart and knows that it will be bad if it is too early!"
When Fu Rong walked out of the house slowly, Xu Liang suddenly collapsed on the backrest, and he didn't know how many thoughts had changed in his heart. From the hope that arose from the initial shock to the countless reverie afterwards, he went from excitement to confusion, from confusion to suspicion, and from suspicion to helplessness, and finally those thoughts turned into a deep sigh.
He thought that he would continue to live in a daze for the rest of his life, and in the end he died silently and disappeared into this world. Now he still has the opportunity to fight for it in a grand manner, but he still wants to do so much? When he was drawing water under the Dazhong Bridge, did he think about going to Xuxian to have a son for himself? Besides, if Xu Xun is really his son...
Thinking of the many ups and downs he experienced these days, Xu Liang gradually smiled. He was straight, but he was not stupid. Apart from his background and his brute force, there was nothing else that big people could value, but Xu Xun was different. What the little guy lacked was just a good background and a good opportunity...
The West Garden of Duke of Wei’s Mansion.
In Shuixi, Xu Xu, the fourth young master of the Duke of Wei, who had always been friends with Wang Shikun, was having a lot of talk with the other young men invited. However, Xu Xun was sitting with Wang Shikun fishing in the shade of the water. The two of them were not at all focused on the fishing rod, and their heads were almost tied together.
"I had such a great opportunity before, but because my brother-in-law restrained me from letting me go out, he missed such a bustle. This time, I was so tired of my mouth that I would definitely let my elder sister agree to go to the capital with you! I have already thought about it. Isn't this Duke Ding just one breath away? No matter how suitable it is to go to the Duke of Wei's Mansion, it will be gone. If my elder sister doesn't let me go, I will drag Xu Xu and call me uncle!"
"You really want to go?" Xu Xun, who was caught by Wang Shikun and complained for a long time, looked at Wang Shikun with a stubborn face. He remembered that this was a good man who helped make trouble. After thinking about it, he swallowed the words of advice into his stomach. "Okay, I only have one condition. When I arrive in the capital, I will listen to me!"
"make a deal!"
Seeing Wang Shikun reaching out his hand with a smile, Xu Xun smiled and reached out and held it up. The two slapped each other loudly, and then burst into laughter at the same time.
