Chapter 44 True Face (1)
Chapter 44: True Face (1)
The Xu family courtyard seemed quiet under the night. Jin Liu and his wife in the front yard had been busy for a day and had already fallen asleep. The initial crunching sound of the wooden bed shaking was already inaudible. Instead, waves of snoring came from the cracks of the window and doors. Even the big black cat that Jin Liu's wife raised, who loved to appear at night, was curled up in the corner and slept very sweetly.
Although the backyard is quiet, the reason is completely different. On the guest bed in the east wing, a quilt is tightly covered by the bed from head to toe, with a large piece arched in the middle. If a person stands in front of the bed, he will never hear any sound. In the spacious west room of the main room, Xu Xun stares at the boy who kneels on the cold ground in front of him, and has been silent for a long time.
"Young Master..."
"Why didn't you say it earlier!"
Seeing Ruisheng's tears in his face, Xu Xun swallowed the next sentence he said, but gently tapped his forehead with his fist. He thought that the monk Huitong might be an exaggeration, but he couldn't get up in the middle of the night and quietly left the yard. He wanted to go to find the monk to ask clearly, but when he pushed the door in, he found that the person was actually pretending, but he was not there, so he couldn't help it anymore. He immediately went back to the house and woke Ruisheng up and then carried it in front of him. However, I knew everything, and with a few words of deception, the truth revealed by the little guy was enough to make him stunned.
"I'm afraid that the young master doesn't want me anymore!" Ruisheng suddenly rushed to the ground with his head desperately, and shouted in a crying voice, "Young master, don't send me back, I don't want to see my father, I don't want to see him! I'm not afraid of him hitting me, I'm not afraid of him scolding me, but I'm afraid of him sending me to that place again. I don't want to lie on the bed for a month or two and can't move, and I don't want to hurt there..."
"Stop crying! A man is a real man..."
Xu Xun just yelled, and it was obvious that Ruisheng was holding back his body and dared not speak out. Thinking that the six words "a man" man really could not be used on the little guy in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh dejectedly, and felt deeply disgusted and despised Ruisheng's father who had almost no impression of him.
No matter which dynasty, it was a way for poor families to find a way for their children to go to the palace. This book is understandable, but Ruisheng's family is obviously not so poor, but my son secretly sent him to castrate him. As a result, he encountered a lot of nails in his attempt to enter the palace. Finally, he simply threw his son to him and ignored him. What kind of beast is this!
Seeing Ruisheng's shivering look, Xu Xun stood up and walked for two steps. He opened the window and took a look at the quiet yard. He suddenly turned around and asked Ruisheng, "When did your father send you there?"
"My mother...after my mother died..."
"After your mother dies..." Xu Xun murmured at the sky where the moon was hanging high without stars, and suddenly asked without looking back, "Then will there be news from your father or your family after you arrive here?"
"No...no."
At this moment, Xu Xun missed the convenient computers and the Internet in the past - even though there were many books in his room, the Ming Lu did not. But even with that vague impression, he still vaguely remembered that it was a big crime to be involved in the past, especially when he was unable to protect himself, the matter was caught out enough to make him doomed. So, after standing in front of the window for a while, he turned around and saw that Ruisheng was already curled up on the ground. He sighed and walked up to drag the person up.
"If you are disabled, your ambition cannot be short. What kind of words are you crying all day long?" Seeing Ruisheng heard his words, he wiped his nose hard and tried to thrust his chest. He bent his index finger and middle finger to the head and gave it hard, and then said with a stern face, "You finally told the truth. If you had anything to hide before, just say it together. I don't want to have another next time."
"Young Master..." Ruisheng's head was vaguely covered with purple and floating ash left behind just hitting his head. He heard this, he instinctively wanted to cry, but looking at Xu Xun's stern eyes, he finally stopped for a while. After whispering, "I have nothing else to hide... I only remember that my mother had quarreled with her father several times before, and her father had attacked her. Later, when she was seriously ill, her father ignored her. After she died, she became more and more fierce to me. She even let her stepmother beat me and scolded me... Once, when she was drunk, she called me a bastard of the Xu family..."
As soon as these words were said, Ruisheng was still burst into tears, and Xu Xun's face became even more gloomy. Although Ruisheng is already twelve or thirteen years old, he has always been in the countryside and is not very versatile and has a little scheming. Perhaps he may not understand the strangeness behind his father's attitude, but how could he not guess from these words and deeds? But now there is no DNA, who knows the truth?
"Okay, stop talking!"
He stopped Ruisheng again with a deep voice, and Xu Xun had to pace back and forth in the room again. Since his rebirth, he has not had much ties in this life, and Ruisheng can be considered one. The little guy is so serious that he is so loyal that he is stubborn. Although he is not as slick as Jin Liu, he is always true to do his best to him. Is it true that anyone who left behind in the Xu family has left behind? What’s important now is that anyone who knows this matter will use this matter to make trouble?
After thinking about it, Xu Xun, who was in a state of confusion, simply pushed the window open and the boss. As a gust of wind inside the outside, he happened to see a figure gently falling to the ground and then looked at him. While looking at each other, although the man was dressed in a night-dressing dress, he knew it in his heart and immediately showed a meaningful smile to the person.
In the past, he lived alone and was used to going out for a while in the middle of the night. However, now he has only been staying in the Xu family for two days. This time, when he returned from the middle of the night, he was caught by Xu Xun. Huitong naturally felt extremely upset. After thinking about it, he grabbed the hat on his head, ignored the white light reflected in the moonlight, and walked over.
"So late, Mr. Xu Qi, aren't you sleeping?"
"The monk went out while the moonlight was so beautiful. Could it be that he wanted to tell me to enjoy the flowers, the moon and the beauty?"
As soon as Xu Xun opened his mouth, he snatched everything he wanted to say. Huitong was stunned for a moment. He walked up to glance through the window and vaguely saw Ruisheng standing in the room with his head hanging down. He immediately understood. He wanted to make the topic on Ruisheng, but Xu Xun coughed and ordered: "Ruisheng, go back to sleep first, let's talk about your affairs tomorrow!"
When Ruisheng agreed with his head down, he stood up and turned around and walked out of the room three times. Xu Xun went up and closed the door, and stood at the window and looked at Huitong and said, "Monkey, we are not secretly talking. I know you have secrets and don't want to ask so many questions. But since you want to save Uncle Xu, should we be honest in some things? You know Ruisheng's hidden information and have the skills to keep me inseparable? You should know what the crime would be if his affairs were seen."
Huitong put his hands on the window frame and said seriously: "Of course I know. In the fifth year of Hongzhi, the emperor issued an imperial edict. In the future, if you dare to cleanse yourself, you will be executed by someone who will do anything, and the whole family will be expelled from the army. The neighbors and the exile family will not raise their heads to question. There are elderly people in the sect, and they still have to visit them from time to time. However, even if such people are arrested and sent to the officials, they will be punished together without forgiveness."
He seemed not to think how weird it was to repeat an imperial edict in his original form, and just looked at Xu Xun with playful eyes: "Young Master Xu Qi, on the one hand, your own problem has not been solved, and the clan meeting will be held the day after tomorrow; on the other hand, Xu Ba is still escorting the military yamen in the Nancheng Military and Horses Office; on the other hand, there is the trouble of this little guy. To go all in one go, don't you think you overestimate your ability? For example, on the other hand, you send someone away quietly..."
When Xu Xun heard Huitong easily retell the imperial edict as if he was eating and drinking, he remembered the scene of this person rising from the middle of the night. He couldn't help but have two terms in his heart. However, thinking about the fact that the factory guards of Hongzhi were no longer like Huitong now, he thought quickly, and asked back when he smiled.
"When it comes to Uncle Xu's affairs, if you let them use those tricks to get him out, what will happen in the future? You two are really evil people for life? As for Ruisheng, if someone knows about him as if you were insincere, and intercepts the person halfway, or takes his father out as a certificate, then I will be confirmed. Even you who have lived with me may not be able to get rid of the crime easily, right?"
"Why didn't Mr. Xu tell me about your own situation? Do you really think that a person like Eunuch Fu will really add to your eyes because of your righteous act of saving people?"
You are looking at me, as old and young, Huitong couldn't help but burst into tears when she saw Xu Xun gradually showing a sly smile. Sure enough, the next moment, he saw the young man opposite him squeezing at him.
"It would be a pity for the great monk to be so well-informed that he wouldn't be eyelining the factory guards."
