Chapter 22 One after another (1)
Chapter 22: Flocking in (1)
Kuiyuan Tower is only separated by two alleys from the Xu family, so Jin Liu and Ruisheng did not follow this night. Although the person did not go, both of them were uneasy. Not only was Jin Liu the gatekeeper looking around in front of the door, but even Ruisheng ran out to ask about the movement. In the end, Jin Liu became impatient and simply brought a small stool for Ruisheng. The pair of gatekeepers and the servants sat face to face, while waiting while joking their teeth. As they were talking, Jin Liu mentioned Ruisheng's father.
"I said Ruisheng, I have been in Nanjing for so long, do you miss your father?"
"In no mood."
"Tsk, do you really want to do it or not? I would like to remind you that although you have to be loyal to your servant, if you lose even filial piety, be careful that the young master will not like you. You have never left me since you were a child, so how could you not think about it?"
"I said I don't want it, but I don't want it!"
Ruisheng was annoyed, and suddenly stood up, left Jin Liu and walked out in anger. But as soon as he walked out of the door, he saw a figure coming in from outside. He was overjoyed and hurriedly rushed forward, blurted out and asked, "Young Master, are you okay?"
Jin Liu, who heard the movement, also came out of the house. He glanced at Xu Xun's expression and knew that it would be very smooth tonight. He hurriedly stepped forward and flattered him: "Looking at the young master like this, the gift I gave today is very good to Mr. Liu's stomach, and he must have received praise!"
It was enough to make people tired after being weak all night. Xu Xun didn't want to continue this topic at this time, so he waved his hand immediately. After asking Jin Liu to lock the door, he asked the two of them if they had dinner. After learning that they had eaten it, he thought about it and said, "Is there any fermented glutinous rice? Go and make a few fermented glutinous rice eggs. I just drank too much and was a little hungry. Make a few more. You can wait until now, and you will be empty. Have some late-night snacks to cushion them."
Since Xu Xun said this, Jin Liu naturally couldn't ask for it, so he hurriedly ran to the kitchen to instruct his wife. Ruisheng followed Xu Xun into the second door, but finally couldn't help asking: "Young Master, you are really not angry at Kuiyuan Tower today? If the master and the others say something bad, you will go back to the room and scold me later, no one will hear it!"
Although Xu Xun really wanted to joke that you are not someone else, looking at Ruisheng's serious face, he had to smile and pat his thin shoulders: "I'm very happy today. Besides, if you get angry, you swallow your anger and dare not speak in person, and you jump behind your back and curse. What is that? You are a real man. You can bend, stretch and find the place again, that is serious."
When his young master said so happily, Ruisheng naturally felt relieved. After following Xu Xun hurriedly, he was very unhappy with a smile on his face. When two bowls of fermented rice glutinous rice were served, Xu Xun pushed the bowl with the two eggs in front of him. He was even more flattered and refused for a long time before he happily lowered his head and started eating. Xu Xun looked at the cute eating look and suddenly couldn't help asking: "Ruisheng, you came to Nanjing because of your deceased mother's words?"
Hearing this, Ruisheng, who was just swallowing the food, stopped suddenly. He stared at the rice bowl for a while, and then he whispered without raising his head, "Mom said, the young master is a good person."
This was a grammatical symptom. However, looking at Ruisheng's silence, he thought of the night that he made the little guy cry. He sighed for a moment and stopped asking questions. After eating, he threw down the bowls and chopsticks and returned to the house. Lying on the sturdy bed, he thought about Xu Tiao's attitude when he heard his entrusting the matter with the land, and couldn't help but ponder.
Nowadays, the government has gradually won't be able to report a fish scale book for selling land. However, he found out that the household registration yellow book system of the Ming Dynasty was extremely strict. He even took the money for selling land and could not go far without a road. Unless he was planning to be a fugitive without a household registration, the power of the clan would be enough to make him doomed. Therefore, today he had to take a step forward and steadily. Not only the young master Wu Qi, but others also had an impression of him, and even attracted others to send the big red name thorn. As for those acres, they would be delivered to Master Xu Liu, and see how this person would deal with it. If the other party had a little bit of heart, it would be fine if he was too dark...
Then let them fight against each other first!
This night was probably the most stable sleep after Xu Xun came to the Ming Dynasty. When he woke up, he felt that it was extremely bright outside in a trance, so he struggled to sit up. He screamed for Ruisheng without reaction. He felt strange, so he put on his clothes and pulled his shoes off the bed and screamed again. After waiting for a long time, a figure knocked open the curtain and rushed in.
"Young Master!"
Seeing that Xu Xun had already got out of bed, Ruisheng was about to explain, but Xu Xun waved his hand and asked when he was about to ask. After learning that Si Zheng had passed, Xu Xun smiled bitterly after being surprised. He knew that he had relaxed and eased sleep, so he rarely slept. Under Ruisheng's service, he put his clothes in order. While sighing that he was now standard clothes to reach out and eat, he asked, "Why, is there a guest outside?"
"How do you know, Master?"
Xu Xun was asking casually, but unexpectedly revealed the facts, and he was surprised: "Who is here?"
"Reply to the young master's words, Grandpa Liang came to see him early in the morning and left when he learned that the young master had not gotten up. Later, another guest came, but I didn't recognize him." Ruisheng shook his head honestly, thought for a while and said, "Brother Jin Liu seemed to have a wrong look when he saw the carriage in the guest. I think maybe he recognized him."
He was dizzy when Ruisheng said something or not, and Xu Xun didn't ask any more questions. After washing up, he took some breakfast and hurried to the front. As soon as he entered the small downing hall, he saw the middle-aged man sitting in the guest seat standing up with a smile and called him Seventh Master familiar. After searching all the memories, he had no impression. He was even more surprised. When he met, he asked the other party's name and surname, but the other party claimed his surname Wu, who came from Renhe. He became more and more sure that this person should have met him for the first time.
Because the middle-aged man surnamed Wu seemed to be afraid that others would not know, he emphasized that he had donated the title of "State" and Xu Xun called him "State" Wu. However, after a few words, the other party never mentioned the serious matter, but asked about his family background in a roundabout way. He couldn't help but have doubts. At this moment, Ruisheng leaned in and said that Xu Liang had come, so he took this opportunity to sue him and leave the house.
"Young Master, Grandpa Liang is on the stable, what should I do?"
"You go and accompany you." Xu Xun said casually. Seeing Ruisheng's face suddenly turned bitter, he suddenly remembered that this servant had never seen the world and was not suitable for dealing with such an old man, so he changed his words and said, "In this way, you go to the door and come for Jin Liu and ask him to talk to others. As long as you draw the details, I will get a reward when you look back!"
With a word of praise, Ruisheng's eyes widened, and Xu Xun didn't care about the boy who was hiding in money, and immediately hurried to the stable. It was said that it was a stable, but in fact it was just a straw shed set up beside the vegetable garden. The slow horse pulling the cart was eating grass leisurely inside at this moment. Xu Liang, dressed in short, was walking down and suddenly raised his head when he heard the sound.
"Uncle!"
"Brother Xun!" Xu Liang walked over quickly, looked at Xu Xun for a while, and suddenly grinned, "Okay, I heard about it early this morning. You made a lot of face last night! But why didn't you say that your father has an old friend, and a uncle? Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked the stinky monk to help me pay attention to the news and owe him a favor!"
Although he knew that Xu Liang could trust him, Xu Xun still couldn't say that his old friend Shiwang was fabricated by his own falsehood, so he could only smile like this: "I'm sorry, let the uncle worry about me."
"There is no worries. I am a rough man, and I can't help you even if I want to help you." Xu Liang seemed a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and coughed, "I came today to tell you. The person who drew water from Dazhongqiao with me was leaking his mouth. He said that Mr. Xu sent someone out early in the morning and rode a horse. Yesterday he lost such a big face, maybe he won't give up. In short, be careful."
Xu Liang came here twice in the morning, but for such a thing, Xu Xun naturally felt grateful and immediately thanked him. However, Xu Liang didn't just say that it was right. Instead, he curiously asked more details about the Kuiyuan Tower yesterday, and then smiled and said that he wanted to say more among the neighbors in the villages. Xu Xun knew that the old man had such a straight temper, so he smiled and just let him go. When he was sending someone out, he remembered that Xu Jin had let go of harsh words and wanted to drive Xu Liang away, and he felt unconscious.
"Uncle, you live in a house from my third brother's family after all. Even if the rental money is no longer the high price of 100 yuan, it is inconvenient. You might as well move to me." Before Xu Liang refused, he smiled and said, "I only said that I hired you to do work, so no one will choose! Only four people live in such a big house. When the uncle moves in, I am more lively here, right?"
Xu Liang was originally insisting on refusing, but when he heard the latter sentence, he remembered the words of Monk Huitong earlier, and his expression gradually loosened a little, but he didn't agree, saying that he was looking back and thinking about it and said that he would leave with a smile. Xu Xun sent the person to the door and saw a gorgeously decorated carriage parked there. The coachman looked around on the seat. When he saw him, he was stunned at first, and then he immediately pulled up his hat, wishing to shrink his whole body under the hat. But the swaying carriage was in front and the coachman looked behind. Xu Xun thought for a moment and immediately remembered the encounter at the east gate of Yingtian Prefecture.
Isn’t it just the groom who claims to be the master of the Yingtian Prefecture Chief Wu Xiong?
