Chapter 21 A Spring Thunder
Chapter 21 A spring thunder moves
After a feast, guests and hosts returned home one after another. The mansions went from busy to silence, and finally most of them were shrouded in the darkness, with only one or two lanterns left to illuminate them. The same is true for the big mansion in the Xu family's house. The front door and corner door had been closed, and there was no movement at all, as if they were sleeping up and down. The clouds in the night sky gradually thickened. As time went by, the stars and moonlight disappeared, and the sky was cloudy as if it was about to rain.
I don’t know how long it took, a slight noise came from the back door. Not long after, the door slowly opened. A man poked his head out to peek at the movement, and then called softly to the back. Soon, three people came out one after another. A man poked his head out and greeted him softly. He immediately closed the door. After a while, the sound of the door bolt came again.
It was not until he walked out of the dark alley that a servant took out a fire and lit it. He lit a glass lantern in his hand that was not afraid of the wind. Under the dim light, Xu Jin's face was gloomy and he was standing at the intersection in a daze. After a while, the servant next to him saw that this was not the case, and he came forward with courage and asked, "Young master, it seems that it is going to rain. Shouldn't we go too far?"
"Hmph, when is it your turn to make the decision?"
Hearing this hum, the servant holding the lantern immediately smiled and said, "Young Master, don't listen to him making a fool of himself. It's a good thing that it really rains for so long... By the way, should we go to Qingping Tower to listen to music, or go to Wangjiang Tower to watch dance, or go to Yinyue Tower to try your luck, and if you are younger, go and arrange it immediately?"
"Young Master, I want to watch Madam Xiao dance song, can you do it?"
Xu Jin sneered, and saw that the two servants were embarrassed, he left impatiently. But after walking for a few steps, he remembered that the stable was locked tonight due to the instructions of his father and brother, and there was no car at all at night. He didn't want to walk to the Qinhuai River for fun, and stopped in a fit of anger. He was just angry when he heard a slight sound of horse hooves and wheels behind him, and soon a carriage came out of the dark night.
As we approached, the carriage suddenly stopped. Then the coachman got out of the car without saying a word and opened the door. He rolled up most of the curtains quickly. Then he smiled inside and said, "Is it Mr. Xu San?"
"Who are you?" Xu Jin was holding his head and exposed his tail, and snorted coldly and walked upstairs. He looked into the carriage. He recognized the person with the small lamp inside and was stunned. Although he had a violent temper, the one inside had seen him twice as his father and brother saw him, so he hurriedly bowed, "It turned out to be Mr. Luo. I'm sorry, boy is shy, I didn't expect it to be you..."
"You are so polite, please come up and talk!"
The man in the car chuckled and said, and the groom immediately took out the car and put it in front of the car. Xu Jin hesitated and immediately bent down and got on the car. Seeing that the coachman put away the car and pedaled, he drove the car forward. Seeing this, the two servants hurriedly followed. The two of them chased each other and panted, hating that their parents gave themselves less legs.
After talking about greetings and other clichés in the carriage, Mr. Luo looked at Xu Jin and said, "I have heard of everything tonight."
Xu Jinyuan came out to relax. When he heard someone mentioning what happened tonight, his face suddenly became dark. He couldn't express it too much in front of Mr. Luo, so he could only snort: "I don't know where the prodigal son found a poor and silenced words, and even made many people praise him. Is there no good words in the world?"
"My nephew, if it is just a few wrong words, no one will take them seriously. But there is a saying that it is a person's ambition or even situation from which one can see a person's nature, ambition and even situation." Speaking of this, the goose feather fan in Mr. Luo's hand stopped suddenly, and then said word by word, "It is not a person who has experienced great setbacks, but a person who has great opportunities to take power after the great setbacks, or the person who holds great power cannot make such a word!"
Boom-
Even though he was in the carriage, Xu Jin still felt the dazzling white light, and the loud rumbling followed him suddenly made him shudder. The white light reflected Mr. Luo's face, which seemed to be smiling, actually caused him to shivering again. After a while, he said unwillingly: "Mr. Luo, you said that, may this matter be forgotten?"
"Of course not." Mr. Luo leaned forward and approached Xu Jin a little, and his voice was very low for a while. "No matter who that person is, he doesn't care about it for many years, and he thinks that his friendship is limited. In this case, if you do things with nothing, it will be difficult for others to intervene. For example, instead of spending a lot of money to buy the house of Old Man Xu Liang..."
Mr. Luo shook the goose feather fan and made a gesture. Seeing Xu Jin stunned for a moment, he ignored his dumb chicken and shook his feather fan lightly and said, "According to the laws, even if you are not interested, you will have to beat forty. As for the heavier level, you will be beaten fifty. As for the most sin, it is squeezing. Of course, there is a moat around the palace, so things are too extreme to do, but now there is already thunder outside, and it is probably raining soon. As long as the weather is still wet, it will naturally be controlled. Do the third young master feel it?"
Although Xu Jin was very brave since childhood, he had harmed the girl beside his mother at the age of thirteen. At the age of fourteen, he saw a gambler who had lost eyes cut off two fingers in one go. At the age of fifteen, he stole the reddish light boat on the Qinhuai River. Even with his temperament, facing Mr. Luo's silent design, he couldn't help but feel cold in his heart. It took him a while to swallow hard.
"Didn't Mr. Luo just deal with my father and elder brother?"
"Your father is old." Mr. Luo sighed. Seeing that Xu Jin was completely fine after hearing this, he shook his head and said, "As for your elder brother, you are safe and enterprising, I am afraid that the scholars are the top of the imperial examination. Although you don't study, you have a momentum. Isn't it better to have a title of a supervisor and take care of the good family's property and study hard for a lifetime? Moreover, you made a joke in public tonight, this hatred of arrows..."
After the thunder that started, the lightning and thunder outside never stopped, but it was still better to start the thunder. Gradually, it started to rain lightly, and the two servants behind the carriage were so angry that they chased each other. Seeing that they were about to fall, the carriage finally stopped. When Xu Jin got off the carriage, the two wanted to meet him, but their instinctive reaction was that they fell to the ground. However, Xu Jin did not look at his two unpromising servants, but just stared at the carriage.
"Don't worry, if you say something, it's hard to pursue."
"good!"
Although the rain was not small, Xu Jin pushed off the oil-paper umbrella handed over by the coachman and turned around and walked into the fine rain curtain. Facing this scene, the two servants looked at me, and even though they were wailing in their hearts, they had to get up and stagger and chase after them. The carriage stopped there for a long time, and then slowly started to move again after a while. When they arrived in a quiet alley, the carriage stopped in front of the door of a house. However, the coachman did not go forward and knock on the door, but opened the door and rolled up the curtain.
"This method does not seem to be the same as Mr.
He bent down and got out of the car while stepping on the stirrups and covered his body under the oil-paper umbrella. Mr. Luo first carefully sorted out the wrinkles on his clothes, but he yawned lazily.
"This is not for the prodigal son, but for Xu Liang. If it weren't for such a small matter from the Xu family, I wouldn't know that the old man was still a little bit behind. Someone in the capital was not long, and someone in Jinling was planning. Since Zhao Huijian took over the task, why would I not push me? By the way, the verbal battles have become more and more powerful. The four gentlemen of Nandu relied on Qingliu, chasing the children of the eunuch party all day long, and their children also learned it. The water became more and more muddy. Zhao Huijian was also Qingliu, and he would disturb him. He would not end the matter as soon as possible, but I was afraid that there would be more dreams. Of course, I was very interested in the person who wrote to the prodigal son. If he could force people out, it would be great!"
When he said the last sentence, Mr. Luo's face showed a deep look of fascination, and he murmured softly: "I don't know what talent or color it is for such a passionate and ambitious words..."
