Chapter 372: Single Sword

Although Xu Xun had already made a fuss about the news that he had recognized Shen as his wife, even though he was re-spent, he still flocked to the nobles and nobles in the capital. "The reputation of the hereditary Duke and Marquis Bo is good, but to this day, it is no longer as popular as the founding of the country and Yongle. Otherwise, under the name of Chengguo Duke, he would not have betrothed his relative's daughter to Li Dongyang, which was not a second marriage but a third marriage. Therefore, even though Xu Liang simply hid out of the mansion in the name of Supervising Cao, there were no other mistresses in Xing'an Bo Mansion, but some people ignored Xu Xun's only person at home, and came to him to propose marriage to him personally, and there were also people who proposed marriage to Xu Liang. That day, he wanted to pull Xu Xun over to see others at three o'clock.

This kind of enthusiasm is also natural. The Duke and Marquis' Mansion often have their inheritance because of their lack of sons, but I have hardly heard of any generation without daughters. If you marry well, you can help your parents' family, so you have always been the best bargaining chip for marriage. As for those daughters, it is a first-class marriage to marry a noble prince who is of equal status, let alone Xu Xun, who is now a hot Xu Xun? At this time, no one cares about his bad deeds when he was young, and no one dares to mention whether the prodigal son returns or not. As for Xu Liang, there are still people who are over 60 years old, not to mention that he is less than fifty?

At this moment, Xu Xun sent Xuan Cheng Bo out of the second door and watched the person get in the car and leave. He breathed a sigh of relief. But before he could wipe his forehead, which was sweating due to the nagging for too long, at the corner of the corridor where the carriage had just disappeared, a figure rushed out in agile three steps and two steps.

"Young Master, Eunuch Liu is here!"

When Xu Xun learned that Liu Jin was coming, he was stunned for a moment. Thinking that as the uncle of Xuancheng had just left, he simply stood there and waited for a while. Sure enough, within a while, Liu Jin brought two little eunuchs to the front, and there was an inner envoy behind him carrying a load of things, and two small firemen carried a bamboo basket together. After they smiled and bowed to see him, Liu Jin smiled and said, "I am here today. I am on the order of the emperor to give you some fresh fruits. "There are plums in the bamboo basket, and that load is persimmon. It was all agreed by the emperor, so I asked me to give it to you. Without a word of gift, you don't have to thank you."

Knowing that Zhu Houzhao didn't care about the clichés the most, Xu Xun naturally asked Liu Jin to express his gratitude with a smile on his face, and asked someone to speak. Both of them were extremely familiar with each other, so Liu Jin said directly that he had just met Xuan Cheng Bo at the door and asked him about his intention. Seeing Xu Xun telling the truth with a bitter face, he couldn't help laughing.

"I said Brother Xu, others are worried that they can't choose the good ones. You are the only one who is willing to marry you, but you are unwilling to marry you! The emperor is the same. Since I used that trick and directly brought the person to Kunning Palace, Li Rong was so angry that he was defeated. He asked the emperor to see the women who should be chosen several times. The emperor said he had no time, but he pretended to be a little eunuch to see Zhou Qiniang twice. I definitely had a chance. I told the emperor that it was your idea. When the emperor was happy, he gave you these fresh fruits.

By the way, I have another good thing to tell you. The marriage of the eldest lady of the Shouning Marquis’ Mansion will be decided in these few days. The emperor said that he would be a matchmaker to give the marriage. The Shouning Marquis had just quietly handled a good job of military supplies, and another happy event came. It was really a happy event. And the Jianchang Marquis’ Mansion does not have a daughter of appropriate age, so you don’t have to worry about the Empress Dowager being randomly ordered.”

Speaking of this, seeing Xu Xun's face was very subtle, Liu Jin and Xu Xun are now wearing a pair of pants. When he said this, he squeezed his eyes again: "Brother Xu, that is the one who is the emperor who personally accompanied the eldest lady. It can be said that he is one of them in a thousand ways. He is said to be very favorable, but in the end, it will also relieve you of a big trouble. When the emperor is the matchmaker for you in the future, don't forget me, this person who is the red thread."

"I can't forget it, I will definitely give you a big red envelope from the Thanksgiving media at that time."

"However, I asked Eunuch Gao to snatch Li Rong in front of him. The old guy suffered a loss and seemed to be calm. These days, the new Fengyu Du Jin from the Silijian often sent him to the Shouning Marquis' Mansion. I don't know what he was planning. (") I'm out of reach that place, and even Lao Gu felt it was difficult. Don't you have a good relationship with the Shouning Marquis? It's better to plan ahead and inquire. Don't let him get caught off guard by any means..."

After sitting for a while, Liu Jin was thinking about the palace and naturally stood up to say goodbye. When Xu Xun sent him out, he asked about Liu Jin's family as if he was unintentionally. He learned that his two nephews had met Zhu Houzhao. Although he had not been appointed as an official, Zhu Houzhao did not take care of them. They each gave a ingot of gold. He immediately said to Tao Hong who was following him: "Go to the warehouse to take a look. I remember that there were a few pieces of auspicious patterns of satin before, and I went to pick it up."

When Tao Hong ran away, he smiled at Liu Jin and said, "Don't laugh at me for not giving me any valuable things. Your two nephews have just picked it up. Let's get a good lip service first. These pieces of satin have a good name, called "upgrade three levels in a row, and I took them back to cut some clothes for them, hoping that they all have a good future."

It is true that Liu Jin loves money, but he hopes that his two nephews can have a hereditary future, so that they will not have to worry about food and clothing, and that their descendants can enjoy the shade. Therefore, Xu Xun's good verbal color immediately made him smile. When Tao Hong brought two servants to carry two pieces of material out, he vaguely saw that the pattern on his head was three long halberds in a vase. He immediately realized the origin of the homonym. He couldn't help but smile and thanked him. He asked the eunuch who was accompanying him to carry something, and then he smiled and then got in the car and left.

After seeing Liu Jin off, Xu Xun thought about his reminder and couldn't help but go back to the study room thoughtfully. After sitting for a while, he ordered someone to summon Jin Liu and asked directly: "I heard that Mrs. Shouning Hou believed in Buddhism and respected Taoism?"

Jin Liu was a person who was idle. He always liked to inquire about news from various families in Jinling, so Xu Xun naturally thought of asking him about this kind of news that did not involve major events in the court. Sure enough, Jin Liu did not disappoint him and immediately nodded and responded: "Young master is right. Mrs. Shouning Hou's belief in Buddhism and Taoism are famous all over the capital. She did not believe in only one family like others, but she also enjoyed rain and dew. Even those who were famous in the capital but were not as famous as Taoism and Buddhism, she often called to meet her, but after she submitted her fate, she was not stingy at all. It is said that every year, the Shouning Hou Mansion would spend at least a few thousand taels of money. I heard that the Shouning Hou had also taken on a good job with great wealth these days, and Mrs. Shouning Hou was even more generous at the hands of her."

A good job with abundant oil and water? Thinking of Liu Jin's mention of the Hou Shouning in the military supplies, Xu Xun was careful when he heard this, but he only smiled and nodded: "So that's it."

After asking this, Xu Xun asked some questions about the inside story, but then asked Jin Liu about other nobles. Seeing that he classified the hearsay rumors, he was very evident. He couldn't help but smile, paused and asked again, "It is said that your brother and sister-in-law followed Tao Hong into Beijing this time?"

Jin Liu didn't expect Xu Xun to ask about this, and then nodded embarrassedly: "There is such a thing. I said I wanted to adopt one. They insisted that they didn't know my preferences, so they brought all my nephews. I also knew that they were watching me follow the good master's house and they inevitably had plans to cling to each other... I had warned them, let them rent a house nearby, and gave them the capital to open a small shop selling oil."

Seeing that Jin Liu was slick in his answer, Xu Xun knew that he was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of a rope being driven out. Therefore, he did not do anything for himself. He asked Jin Liu to choose a child to adopt him and enter the mansion. He gave a few more words, but ordered him to go out and prepare a car and wait at the side door. He sorted out the rumors about the Shouning Marquis' Mansion just obtained in his mind, and he quickly became a little skeptical. So he went back to the room and changed his clothes, took Abao and went straight to the side door of the house.

Jin Liuqing knew that Xu Xun would not ask him about the nobles in the capital for no reason. At this moment, he would definitely have something secret to him. Therefore, he dressed up very simply, but he was afraid that others would recognize him. He lowered a big hat on his head. After approaching Xu Xun, he heard Xu Xun report an address that was still somewhat impressive. He immediately realized that he did not say a word along the way. He stopped the carriage in an alley where few people passed by as he ordered him to take the carriage out of the carriage. Seeing Abao get out of the carriage and hurry out, he soon brought a middle-aged man who looked around and looked carefully. Although Jin Liu didn't look up, he still glanced at him from the corner of his eyes, and suddenly remembered the conversation when Xu Xun came to find this person last time.

This seems to be the confidant of Li Rong, the eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor. Last time, Xu Xun made people pay attention to the selection of concubines!

Jin Liu, an outsider, was beating wildly at this moment. When Du Jin got in the car, he didn't have to mention his uneasiness. Although Xu Xun just asked him lightly how he chose 300 of the thousand people, most of the people selected were from where and what about family background, he was sweating from these extremely simple questions. When Xu Xun finally asked a question, his face turned pale.

"Eunuch Li often asks you to go to the Shouning Marquis Mansion to run errands these days. What is the big deal?"

If Xu Xun asked this as soon as he opened his mouth, Du Jin would have been perfunctory to make a reason, but at this moment, Xu Xun suddenly came straight into the trap after those trivial questions, but he felt a little panicked. Under that sharp gaze, thinking about Li Rong's current old attitude, and thinking about Xu Xun's newborn calf could make him suffer a loss at Linqing Chaoguan. Now he is even more powerful, and he swallowed hard without hesitation.

"Eunuch Li asked me... Eunuch Li asked the young man to search for Shouning Hou, saying that if he could establish a queen who was devoted to the Zhang family, he would at least protect the Zhang family for twenty years."

It turned out that Li Rong knew that it was impossible to please Zhu Houzhao, so he had this idea!

Xu Xun's heart was so clear that he looked at Du Jin with a kind look and said, "Eunuch Du, Eunuch Li is old. Just watch more by his side, and don't let him, the ancestor who has been in charge of several dynasties, die."
