Chapter 84 Subdued (1)
Chapter 84: Convinced (1)
The spring day in the south of the Yangtze River is the most pleasant. The gardens of rich families are colorful and compete for spring. In the courtyards of people's homes, the flowers and plants that withered in winter have regained their vitality, and even the weeds stick their heads out tensilely in the cracks of the stones. Therefore, in this spring when flowers are blooming, people are often unwilling to be stuffed in the dim house, but they will be more likely to be outside, blowing the wind, drinking tea, smelling the fragrance of flowers and listening to the birds. This is not only the enjoyment of scholars.
It was evening now, and the sun was setting, and the yin energy was getting heavier. Even if you were leisurely and elegant during the day, most of the room would sit and wait for dinner. However, in the spacious front yard of the Xu family, there were three stools. The three of them guarded each other, but no one spoke. Tao Hong came out of the second door and saw the three of them in this situation, he could not help but ask Jin Liusao.
"Sister-in-law Liu, those two are guests. Since Brother Jin Liu sat with them, he didn't wait to talk to the guests?"
"Who knows what crazy that day was going crazy!" When Jin Liushao thought of Jin Liu's nervous look in the past two days, she became angry. She picked up the copper pot and paused on the stove, and then turned around and glanced at Tao Hong. She didn't know where the interest came from. She turned around and walked over, "After that, Brother Tao Hong, you followed Master Liu for a good reason, but were suddenly sent to us. Don't you worry about your family and relatives who stayed there?"
"Of course I'm a little worried about the master and the young master." Tao Hong smiled honestly, took a candied fruit box handed over by Jin Liusao, and said without looking back before leaving, "However, I bought it from outside by the master and have no relatives."
Seeing Tao Hong pulling the curtain and leaving, Jin Liusao snorted from her nose: "Sometimes you regret it! Mr. Liu is an official after all, and our young master's future is still unparalleled. How could Eunuch Fu, who is like this, take a closer look at him, a young man?"
In the front yard, Jin Liu's big golden sword, which looked like a door god, sat with his back to the second door; Huitong was wearing a greasy monk's robe, sitting in the lower left and drinking tea leisurely, as if he didn't notice Jin Liu's knife-like eyes at all; Wu Shouzheng was sitting on the lower right hand, but he had no intention of sitting and drinking tea, and leaning out the door again and again. Almost when the flowers faded, he finally heard something in front of the door, and then jumped up, lifted up the hem of the robe and ran out.
"Seventh Young Master!"
Xu Xun, who was about to get off the car, suddenly heard the intentional long sound outside, and couldn't help but look up. Seeing that Wu Shouzheng's face was as if it was blooming, he almost stepped on the air. Fortunately, Ruisheng helped him, he finally stood firm. Seeing that the other party bowed deeply to the ground, he quickly reached out and pulled it, and smiled, "Mr. Wu hasn't seen him for a few days, why are you so polite?"
What days is clearly more than a month! You live in the eunuch's mansion and live a good life, of course you won't remember the time!
Wu Shouzheng slandered his slander, but there was a sunny smile on his face: "What are you talking about in the seventh prince? You are the one who is about to become a success just now. What kind of person is the name of the brand? I said that I have come here many times and I was vain. Yesterday, I heard that you came back and came here. Who knew you were not here? Fortunately, I was determined to go there again today..."
Before Wu Shouzheng finished speaking, seeing Tao Hong and Jin Liu coming out of the door, Xu Xun interrupted him and said, "It was also because I was busy and negligent before. Mr. Wu worked for a long time and even the money he borrowed from you was dragged back and forth. This time, since I came back, our account must be cleared."
Wu Shouzheng was stunned when he heard this, and then quickly refused: "Don't be anxious or not..."
"Tao Hong, go to the room to weigh thirty taels of silver."
Seeing that the servant he had just met today responded and turned around, Wu Shouzheng thought about Xu Xun's light tone again, and thought that he would have to borrow money for the time being to rescue him last time. Now Thirty taels are not taken seriously at all, and he is even more awe in his heart, and he must have tried his best to refuse. However, he did not notice at all. As soon as Xu Xun entered the yard, he saw the monk Huitong sitting there, whose careless expression changed slightly.
Jin Liu had just rushed out. Although Xu Xun just nodded to him and did not give anything more instructions, he still felt relieved. Seeing that Huitong was so arrogant, he wanted to give people eye drops. He immediately took the opportunity to approach Xu Xun and whispered: "Young master, this monk came back in the afternoon. He treated himself as his master. He went to the room to sleep without saying hello. After waking up, he asked for hot water and refreshments. He was so arrogant. Mr. Wu came when he asked Brother Tao to take him into the room to wait, but the monk was also blocking me with the words. Mr. Wu just waited outside. Is it, Mr. Wu?"
Wu Shouzheng lived for most of his life and immediately heard that Jin Liu's words meant badly. However, he was still an outsider who wanted others, so he dared not to speak this. He immediately pretended not to hear this, and just smiled and chatted with Ruisheng. After tossing and turning, Ruisheng was tormented for no reason. Although Xu Xun understood Jin Liu's petty heart, he saw Huitong's posture of a big golden sword, and he moved his heart. He nodded slightly at the moment, and then turned his head to look at Jin Liu.
"Keep these tongues less. Tonight I will keep Mr. Wu for dinner, so that your wife can show off her skills and make two more delicious dishes. And people from Mr. Wu should not let someone blow the air in the carriage, and they will call in to enter and entertain the door, and it should be closed."
“Yes, yes, yes…”
Seeing Xu Xun greeting Wu Shouzheng, who was flattered, he entered the room. Xu Liang, who was at the end of his head, couldn't help but look at Huitong who was sitting there frowning. After thinking for a while, he ignored the monk and chased the people in front of him into the second door. Until Jin Liu rushed straight into the kitchen, Huitong, who was left alone, put down her legs and then patted the corner of her robe and stood up.
He suddenly acted like this today because of the Imperial College storm that he learned about after returning to the city today. He thought he had learned about Xu Xun's boldness. Even so, the facts he analyzed from the information summarized by several spies' eyeliners really shocked him. For the sake of Fu Hengan, Xu Xun's brain could find a safer way, but this kid made a lot of trouble in the city, pulling all Fu Rong and Xu Qiu and the Imperial College sect all down! Obviously Fu Rong was furious because of this, otherwise how could Xu Liang and Xu Xun Ruisheng suddenly moved back to their homes at this moment? He didn't say that he had enough time to make a comeback!
So, he couldn't help but clench his fists viciously, and cursed in his heart, "When is it now? This kid still has time to put on airs with me!"
Xu Xun naturally didn't know how Huitong was outside, so he invited Wu Shouzheng into the room. First, he asked Tao Hong to bring the silver to pay back the money. Seeing Wu Shouzheng holding the silver ingot and looking left and right, finally, he couldn't even turn his eyes when he looked at the mark. He coughed lightly and said, "Mr. Wu, you have helped me so much, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Wu Shouzheng was originally staring at the five-character pattern of Nanjing Imperial Prison on the silver ingot and was stunned. When he heard this straightforward question, he immediately came to his senses and hurriedly folded his spirit and smiled with a smile: "Seventh Master is asking, I dared to speak out. It's because of my previous business..."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Xun suddenly heard a puff sound. When he looked up, he found that something was coming towards him. This time Huitong was not around, and he almost turned his head instinctively. The thing hit the wall directly, and then rebounded and landed, but he jumped several times. At this time, he didn't have time to pay attention to the expressions of Wu Shouzheng and Ruisheng who was serving him, so he quickly stepped up and picked up the thing. Seeing that it was a ball of paper, he immediately spread the things flat and held the stone inside in his hand.
"Fe Kai, the Minister of Dali Temple, arrived in Jinling. He is here today. It seems that it is because of Eunuch Fu. The Zhao family forced the Shen family to set the wedding date. I hope you can make more solutions." After the left hand character, there are two lines of fly-headed small calligraphy. "The monks living in the mansion seem to have something to do with the West Factory in the past, so please be careful."
Although the note was short and the handwriting on both sides was different, the content was quite extraordinary. Therefore, after Xu Xun finished reading it, he looked up at the small hole in the window paper and couldn't help but take a deep breath. He thought to have forgotten to ask the little girl before, which master of the Shen family had the ability to throw hidden weapons. Before he could figure out what was going on, the curtain was suddenly lifted open, and Huitong rushed in.
"Young Master Xu Qi, I have something to say to you!"
