Chapter 65: The storm is coming

The day before yesterday, he had a long dispute with the Xu family in Taipingli, but within two days he visited the two former royal palaces of the Kaiping Palace, Zhongshan Palace. For Xu Xun, the world was instant and unpredictable. He just stepped into the gate of the Zhongshan Palace, thinking that Xu Da and Chang Yuchun were as famous as the past, but now the Xu family is indescribable, but now the Xu family is almost invincible, and even lost their ancestral home. Xu Xun felt a sense of change in his heart.

Compared with the Kaiping Palace, which has been renovated and rebuilt many years, the Zhongshan Palace is still as old as before. Even if you will build some houses in those open spaces, the front hall and the middle hall are still as good as the back hall, at most, the small repairs and small repairs use their brains. Entering from the West Corner Gate, bypassing the large screen wall with the pattern of the Eight Horses in the front, walking forward along the bluestone corridor, you can see a magnificent front hall inside the door from afar through the Yimen Gate. However, at this time, the central gate is closed, so he just took a break from his busy schedule.

The person who led the way was Wanquan who had visited the Xu Clan Ancestral Hall in the past. Seeing Xu Xun glanced over there curiously, he explained: "That is the front hall of our Duke of Wei's Mansion, with seven rooms, two buildings and nine buildings. It was built by the Ministry of Works during the Hongwu period. When King Wuning of Zhongshan was there, he wrote Shande. If there were civil and military officials who came to worship, most of them would be here to entertain guests, and their familiar relatives and friends would go to the master's outer study room to Shouchengzhai."

Speaking of this, he turned his head and looked at Xu Xun and smiled, "It is rare for the master to choose to meet foreign guests there."

Although because of Fu Rong and Xu Xun had sent his master a total of 400 acres of land, if Xu Xun had not been polite to him when he entered the door, and thanked him for helping him, Wan Quan would not have felt any more enthusiastic about his respectful attitude. After all, as a servant, he would not take a little money seriously at all. He cared about his face and future interests. Seeing Xu Xun thinking about this, Wan Quan walked over and said, "Also, for the sake of the seventh prince, the master specially invited his uncle to accompany him."

"It turns out that the prince is here too. If you want to say that the past is not too late to thank you. I have met the prince today, so I must thank him well. By the way, if Master Wan has time, can I take the time to give you a glass of wine?"

"Young Master Seven is so polite. I am just a servant, so how can I afford to be so polite to you!"

When Xu Xun put himself at the same position as Wang Shikun, Wan Quan laughed so hard that his eyes narrowed, but he refused. In the end, he couldn't help but ask for help again and again. Then he agreed as if he was reluctant to do so. When he arrived at the outer study room, Shouchengzhai, he saw two little book boys guarding the door from afar, so he slowed down and reminded him: "The master is a polite person and the most respectful thing. You should be careful when you see him. However, because you offered the righteous act of the fields, the squire finally let go. The master was in a good mood, so there was no need to be too restricted."

"Thank you, Mr. Wan."

After thanking Wanquan, Xu Xun was confident and walked forward to the outer study room. Seeing Wanquan standing at the door and reporting, he turned around and made a gesture to him. Then he stepped inside.

There are three rooms outside the study room. There is a Taishi Chair in the center of the Ming room, and two chairs on the left and right and footsteps. It is obvious that it is for guests, but it is empty at the moment. The curtains leading to the rooms on both sides of the east and west are hanging low, but there is no one there.

As hesitated, he saw that the dark green door curtain in the east was lifted open. It was Wang Shikun. The youngest young man in Jinling who once spoke nonsense on Qingping Tower was now in a proper manner and even exchanged glances with Xu Xun. His face was almost a different person.

"Brother Xu, please."

As soon as he entered the east room, Xu Xun saw a desk set up by the window, and the other three walls were staggered and arranged bookshelf, with sets of books on it. Xu Qi, Duke of Wei, did not sit behind the desk, but stood in front of the bookshelf with his back to him, flirting with something. It was not until Wang Shikun called his brother-in-law that he suddenly turned his head. When his eyes looked at Xu Xun, he saw that he bowed to him, and nodded slightly.

"Get up." Xu Qi put down the book casually, turned to the back of the book desk and sat down. Then he raised his hand to ask Xu Xun to sit down. Then he said slowly, "I met Xu Tiao in the morning. I have heard about you. Can you understand such a righteousness? All the short-sighted elders of the Xu clan in your Taiping are comparing. Yesterday they drove you out of the sect, and there are times when they regret it in the future! Today I asked you to come, to ask, what are your plans in the future?"

Xu Qi was naturally very skillful in asking this question. According to his inquiry from Xu Tiao, Xu Xun really gave his all this time and did not leave a little bit for himself. Therefore, he had to make some gestures and inquire about the relationship between Xu Xun and Fu Rong. Sure enough, under his bright eyes, Xu Xun immediately owed her body.

"Report to the Duke of the Kingdom, Eunuch Fu plans to let the kid go to Beijing in some time."

Although Xu Qi had thought about how Fu Rong might have helped the young man before the question, when he heard the word "Shangjing", he immediately realized that he still underestimated the relationship between the two. He had been through the sea for a long time and nodded and asked, "You are young, you should walk and see more. I heard that you were confused and indulged in a while, but now you are just a prodigal son? Shi Kun used to be, and they were all uncontrollable people. You have experienced similar experiences and are similar in age. You should be good at intercourse, so as not to be idle and do whatever you want, the No. 1 young man in Jinling, who is idle and erratic all day long!"

Although Wang Shikun had a good impression of Xu Xun, his brother-in-law only said good things about others, but he belittled him to a corner. He was immediately dissatisfied, but he could not show it on his face and could only respond with a humming response. Xu Xun saw this scene in his eyes, so naturally he would not just look at people's hearts.

"The prince is so polite. The boy has no parents' teaching since he was a child. Then he was tempted by a traitor and went astray. How could he be as strict as Brother Wang's parents and elder sisters? Brother Wang was called the most youngest in Jinling, but it was just a joke. Those reputations are mostly spread by rumors. The boy knows his own experience. In fact, if he really wants to hang out with those people in the market, he may not do anything extraordinary. But three of them become tigers, and a pot of dirty water is poured on, even if the clean people are clean, we will be dirty. What's more, we have a verbal statement in the eyes of others?"

When Xu Xun actually defended Wang Shikun like this, Xu Qi glanced at his brother-in-law who was still under twenty and immediately laughed. When he smiled, Wang Shikun finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly smiled beside him and said, "Brother-in-law, this is what he said. I did something wrong, and those people magnified it ten times. Can my reputation be good?"

"Okay, you have some misbehavior, otherwise how could you have such a reputation!" After scolding Wang Shikun, Xu Qi had to ask Xu Xun some other things, from books he had read since childhood, to his usual preferences, etc., he even wrote a few words on the spot, and finally said inadvertently, "Your sixth uncle calls me uncle, you might as well call me uncle..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he caught Wang Shikun's smile and suddenly realized that there was something wrong with it. He immediately changed his words: "But, your seniority and Shikun are still different, so he can interact and help..."

He took out his elders' airs and said it well. Xu Qi, Duke of Wei, was about to ask about what Fu Rong had arranged for Xu Xun again, and suddenly a call for a visit came from outside. When Xu Qi ordered someone to come in, a book boy walked in quickly and kowtowed and said, "Master, there is a messenger coming in from the capital."

Hearing this, Xu Qi immediately looked upright and immediately ordered Wang Shikun to take Xu Xun around the outer courtyard, and then he sent a messenger in. After asking the messenger for a few words, he answered the letter, and then he turned it off and opened the letter himself. After reading a few lines, he frowned and then immediately stood up.

It would be fine if Ding Guo Duke Xu Yongning was seriously ill. The Wei Ding family had only relatives left. Xu Yongning lived in vain for many years and had no influence in the court. However, the news of the court's censors and others asking for the redundant staff to be eliminated has become increasingly popular. The eunuchs' descendants and families have added officials, and now they have been caught and have been caught. Even the abuse of the children of the nobles have been brought up for someone to find out the old accounts.

The two honor guards who served the crown prince were reprimanded for their so-called arbitrary arbitraryness. Several noble children who were studying in the Imperial College were reprimanded by the school officials, and his legitimate grandson Xu Pengju was among them! What happened to this sudden wind?
