Chapter 12: Turning against each other ()

The person who had been shouting in front of him was thrown to the ground like a dead dog in a blink of an eye. Jin Liu's pride was not mentioned. On a whim, he couldn't help but use his most proud skill in driving a car. He waved a whip and drove through the streets and alleys in an old carriage that could be calculated to be an old carriage. This was a pity that another carriage that was behind him had barely turned three turns and lost the trace of the target ahead. He was naturally scolded by the owner.

But these are naturally not within Xu Xun's consideration. He went out early in the morning to deliver a letter to the Shen family, and then performed such a scene in Yingtianfuya and Zhu Sihai. After being bumped back and forth by the carriage, he felt that he almost lost his airs. But he was tired, but the gains from going out this trip today were quite big. At least, he had already taken the first step. Thinking of this, a hint of relaxation appeared on his face, and he unknowingly fell asleep on his backrest.

"Young Master, Young Master?"

It was unknown how long it took for Xu Xun to wake up with repeated calls. He opened his eyes tiredly and saw that the curtain of the car was beaten high. Jin Liu, who was standing there, smiled with a smile. He could not help but move his numb arms and sit up straight, then lowered his head and got out of the car. Before he could enter the door, Jin Liu threw the carriage and followed him up.

"Young Master, my wife just said that someone from the Shen family came. It was the butler Lu who was waiting at home. It is said that he had been waiting for half an hour." Seeing Xu Xun suddenly turned around, Jin Liu hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Count the time, it should be that he came here shortly after we left the Shen family, but he didn't know what it was for."

Xu Xun knew that the Shen family would probably come, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly. When he looked around, he found that there was indeed a carriage parked against the wall. The coachman was wearing a felt cloak and a hat on his face, and was sitting there napping. When he moved his heart, he nodded at Jin Liu.

"Well, I understand. Thank you for your hard work today, so you can rest first."

Although Jin Liu was interested in inquiring why the butler of the Shen family suddenly ran to his house, Xu Xun left him and walked straight inside. He remembered the scene of Zhu Sihai sending him to him at the east gate of Yingtian Prefecture before, and felt that the young master was unfathomable. Seeing Xu Xun about to enter the screen door, he saw a box of thousand-layer pastry in his hand. Suddenly, he immediately followed him and shouted loudly: "Young Master, you forgot something. This is the thousand-layer pastry pastry given to you by Butler Zhu!"

Jin Liu's shouting was extremely loud. Ruisheng, who didn't know how many cups of tea had been brewed for Lu Quan in the room, heard it immediately. He forgot that the person sitting beside him needed to serve him well. He rushed to the door in three steps and two steps. He opened the curtain and saw Xu Xun take the box in Jin Liu's hand, then turned around and walked over. He quickly crossed the threshold and left the house, and stood under the eaves. Until Xu Xun approached, he grabbed the person and then leaned over and muttered in a low voice.

"Young Master, please be careful. Butler Lu has been waiting for a long time and has been stern and will definitely be in a bad mood."

"I know, I know." Xu Xun nodded casually and opened the box in his hand, "I'm so anxious to wait at home. Have you hadn't eaten yet? First try a thousand-layer crispy pad. Butler Zhu said it was made by the new chef from Uncle Six's house. It was so praising that you can taste what it tastes like."

"I?"

Ruisheng looked at Xu Xun, and saw his young master's face full of instigation, he nodded hesitantly, reached out his hand and picked out one of his fingers, put it beside his mouth and bit it. The fresh fragrance immediately made him look at Xu Xun and ate it in big mouthfuls. In a short while, he wiped out a large piece of Thousand Layers crispy.

Seeing Ruisheng eating so voraciously, his shiny eyes didn't blink, and there were several sesame seeds in the corner of his mouth, but he didn't know it. He couldn't help but laugh and handed over the whole box with a smile: "Okay, don't be this greedy look, if you like it, take it first!"

"Ah, how can this work?" Ruisheng couldn't help licking the fragrant sesame seeds on his lips. Seeing Xu Xun looking at him, his face suddenly turned red. He hurriedly reached out and pushed the box back, "Butler Lu is inside. The young master got good things, just for the guests. I'm content with eating such a piece, and I dare not be greedy..."

"It's just a box of snacks, why do you even have greedy words? Besides, there's nothing good in the Shen family. It's a joke to take this little thing to the guests!" Xu Xun stuffed the box into Ruisheng's hand without saying a word, and said, "Take it to Jin Liu and his wife, and drive out early in the morning, waiting and leaving, thanks for his hard work."

Xu Xun said while paying attention to the movement inside. Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, a heavy cough came from inside. Knowing that the butler Lu was impatient, he didn't say much, and made a gesture to Ruisheng and then put a curtain in his own door.

The room was naturally not lit during the day, but the window paper that was covered with windows had not been changed for many years. There was a thick layer of putty on it, so it was dark everywhere. Xu Xun, who had just come in from outside, squinted his eyes gently. After a while, he got used to the change of vision, and then he saw the person sitting on the first chair in the lower left.

I saw that the man was in his early forties and had a slightly fat figure. In sharp contrast to his thick eyebrows, his sparse hair was his hair. Seeing that his master entered the door, the man still sat for a while before slowly standing up.

"Young Master Seven is back!" Lu Quan, who stood up, bowed slightly, and said nothing more than that politeness. "If I don't come back, I don't know how much tea I have to fill my stomach!"

"I'm sorry, I really didn't expect that Manager Lu would come. In addition, it was too late to be delayed outside for a long time." Xu Xun smiled and never mentioned the four words "Yingtian Prefecture Office". He raised his hand and asked him to sit down in the main seat. He said first, "Man Lu is here, but for my previous job of going to the Shen family to submit a letter?"

Manager Lu originally planned to exchange greetings, and then whispered around the bush and started to the point again, but Xu Xun was straightforward. He couldn't help but feel a little sad. But he followed Mr. Shen for decades, and calmed down in a moment. He immediately asked with a smile: "Young Master Qi knows that the word "breaking off the engagement is not a small matter. If he goes to court, he will be beaten?"

"The Ming Dynasty law has strict orders for breaking off the engagement, but I have already inquired about it. If the people do not procure, the officials will not investigate it. But that's the case?"

"Even so, such a big thing is not counted if Master Qi said nothing. If Emperor Wu Zun came forward, I'm afraid..."

"What if I have an elder who is willing to come forward?"

Seeing that Xu Xun answered faster than he asked, Mr. Lu thought it was a young man who was acting irritable for a while, or was discouraged and threw the jar, but he couldn't help but feel suspicious. Although the 100-yuan bill in his arms was still there, he did not take it out rashly, pressing his hand on his chest and just gently rubbing his clothes. Suddenly, thinking of some of the contents in the letter before, he raised his head and stared at Xu Xun's eyes intently.

"I still have something unknown. Why did Young Master Qi want to break off the engagement?"

"Didn't Mr. Shen always want to break off the engagement?" Seeing that Lu Quan's face suddenly froze, Xu Xun said slowly, "My father has no news for many years. I used to be a young man and did a lot of wrong things. Naturally, I couldn't match Miss Shen's family, so I just wanted to break off the engagement. Butler Lu doesn't have to worry about what I want to blackmail."

Xu Xun even said the word "blackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackblackb

Before he finished speaking, he saw Xu Xun stand up suddenly, and was shocked and felt a little regretful. Shen Guang sent him here in the hope of cutting the mess with the smallest cost. But Xu Xun's words were beyond his expectations, but he actually said everything in his heart, which was really unwise.

"It's my business, so the Shen family won't worry about it."

The clay Buddha also has a three-point fire character, not to mention that Xu Xun originally intended to take the initiative, not really afraid of the Shen family. At this time, looking at Lu Quan who was a little uneasy, he said lightly: "The matter of breaking off the engagement is originally big or small. I think the Shen family originally intended to not want things to cause trouble and ruin Miss Shen's life. As for whether the Xu family's clan conference will open me, I think Manager Lu would better understand it!"

He paused, and then sneered: "That is, no matter what, my father and Mr. Shen's marriage letter are still there. At that time, the clan will naturally not look at the second wife's queen. He will have to pick someone to join the heir. The one who joined the heir would never let go of such a good marriage. That person would be fine. If that person is not good, the eldest lady of the Shen family has just broken away from the tiger's mouth and fell into the wolf's claws! Instead of seeing the face of the Xu clan at that time, it would be better to break off the engagement cleanly now. As for whether my surname is Xu or not, what should I do with the Shen family in the future? However, since Manager Lu insists on taking my kindness as a scheming, I will not accompany you. Come and see the guests!"

With this loud shout, Ruisheng almost opened the curtain and rushed into the door quickly. He strides to Lu Quanxia's first stop, but he said in a stiff tone: "Please, butler Lu!"

Lu Quan's expression became worse and worse at this time, and he hated himself for not thinking that Xu Xun was a slutty prodigal son who had no knowledge. Every word hit his heart, and he didn't know how to answer.

"Master Lu, please do your own thing!"
