Chapter 20: Several families are happy and some are sad
Chapter 20: How many happy and sad ()
Now that the founding of the country is far away, the night ban that once had no looseness has gradually become a piece of paper for the powerful and powerful people. Therefore, when the sky was completely dark and the banquet at Kuiyuan Tower ended, one light boat after another sailing out of the Qinhuai River. Those pleasure boats that were almost quietly anchored on certain piers during the day looked particularly bright under the lights. In addition, the beautiful people who were radiant under the lights naturally gave people a charm of fascination.
However, most of the well-dressed officials didn't even look at the light boats, and just got on their own car sedans, and the rest of the guests dispersed. Only those younger generations of young people would look at the dream-like light boats with nostalgic eyes. But under the control of the elders, no one dared to step beyond the line in such an occasion, and could only turn around and go home with the elders step by step.
Xu Xun, who went out for the first time in this life, looked at the Qinhuai River, which was dotted with gold and jade. Thinking about the debauchery under the neon lights in later generations, he did not show much amazement. Instead, he pressed his chest with one hand, and was still thinking about the origin of the big red name thorn. It is important to know that he never found the servant when he returned to the table, and no one had ever asked for him. Naturally, the more he thought about it, the more he felt strange. When a farewell sounded from his side, he left this thought aside.
Although there was something wrong with Gaosheng Banquet that night, everyone was generally happy. The host Xu Tiao was of course proud. At this moment, when he stood in the cold wind, the wine in his head suddenly dissipated halfway. So when he looked at Xu Xun, he suddenly remembered the origin of the letter, and his face naturally became complicated. Therefore, Master Xu and others took the juniors to say goodbye one after another. He just barely responded to the spirit of the deal. When the fewer people were, he waved and called Xu Xun up.
"Xiao Qi, I have received so many gifts today, but you are the most unique." Xu Diyan praised insincerely. Seeing Xu Xun being humble, he smiled and said, "When will you have time, your uncle will introduce me to me."
"Uncle Six, it's not me that I'm rude. It's really that Uncle Shi's character is a bit weird and not very happy to meet people. If I hadn't thought of Uncle Six, I wouldn't find a suitable gift for a while, and I wouldn't dare to disturb him." Speaking of this, Xu Xun turned his lyrics and took out the red famous thorn from his arms, but he said it in a vain way. "I said that when I went downstairs before, someone gave me such a famous thorn, but I didn't even sign it. I think it was just for the sake of the uncle's two wonderful words, how could I bear it?"
Xu Tiao took the big red thorn and saw that there was only one word on the bottom corner on the front, and the four words "honor" on the back were sincere, but there was no signature. He suddenly remembered the joints of the thorn. Although he couldn't remember who the thorn's owner should be, his face suddenly changed. His eyes naturally became more friendly when he looked at Xu Xun. He smiled and handed them back to ask Xu Xun to put them away. He smiled and said, "It is said that a prodigal son will not change gold. If you have this fate, it is also your blessing."
"Yes, thank you for your reminder." Xu Xun nodded, then asked in an extremely natural tone, "I asked Brother Zhu to convey the matter about Uncle Six. I wonder what Uncle Six thinks, can I help my nephew?"
Although Xu Xun lowered his head, his eyes were always observing Xu Tiao's expression. Seeing that the smile on the face of the pillar of the Xu clan was frozen like ice and snow, he took out another letter from his arms and handed it over: "I know that Uncle Six is in a dilemma, but I regretted the incident before. This is a letter my father gave me in the past. I just regretted that I was frivolous and ignorant at the time, otherwise I would not have almost lost my life."
Although everyone said that Xu Bian should be dead, and Xu Tiao knew that it was an old thing many years ago when he took the letter, when he took out the letter from the cover and saw that there were still some familiar handwriting and tone, he still felt nervous. However, most of the letters on a page were just instructed by Xu Xun, and only the last mention that Xu Tiao was kind and might as well entrust him to something. While he breathed a sigh of relief, he was a little stunned. After folding the letter and returning it to Xu Xun, he thought about it thoughtfully and finally nodded.
"Well, let me consider this matter."
While Xu Tiao and Xu Xun's uncle and nephew were talking in the wind, a loud slap came from Master Xu's carriage. Although the groom driving was thrilling, he did not dare to be distracted. He only drove the carriage steadily and tried his best not to listen to the sound in the rear carriage. However, the direction of the sound was not something he could dominate. The next moment, he was scolding him and walked through the curtain and through the car door, and drilled into his ears word by word.
"Damn it, idiot, you are a thing that is not enough to make a mistake!"
After cursing for a while, Master Xu took a breath, but seeing Xu Jin covering his face with dissatisfaction, he couldn't help but feel angry again. His fingers almost hit Xu Jin's nose: "I spent so much money to buy a fake, and you don't know if you buy it and you don't know if you can check it out? I've lost all my face!"
"Dad, the third brother is just blinded." Seeing that Master Xu's voice was too loud, Xu Dong had to persuade him from the side. His eyes looked at Xu Jin were full of blame, "Third brother, you have to have a limit on doing things. Sixty stagnant is not a small amount, you should always discuss it with your family. A few days ago, you went to the accounting room to use more than one hundred stagnant of money, right?"
Xu Jin didn't expect that his elder brother suddenly came out again and was stunned. His expression naturally added a little more anger to Master Xu's eyes. Master Xu almost completely forgot that he was on the carriage driving. He pounded the wall of the carriage heavily and shouted: "Strange, tell me quickly, what's going on with that more than 100 guan?"
"Isn't it just that I bought the house of the good old man and want to drive him away?" Xu Jin glanced at his brother in anger, and then he stopped turning his head and said unwillingly, "If the old man had nothing to do, there would be so many troubles in the water to save people, there would be no such many troubles now!"
"You dare to say it!" Master Xu was furious and pointed at Xu Jin's hand and even trembled slightly. "You actually spent so much money for such a small thing... for such a small thing, you prodigal son!"
"Dad, my third brother is just ignorant, please calm down!"
Xu Dong naturally hurriedly persuaded Master Xu. Seeing Xu Jin sitting there with a stubborn look on his face, he couldn't help but sneer. The males of the eldest family are two brothers, but the mother loved the youngest son and wanted to take Xu Jin into the second house and inherited these things. However, before the second house's property was obtained, Xu Jin was spending money very hard, and what he deserved in the future! That's it, his mother still felt that he had treated his younger brother badly!
After Xu Dong's repeated persuasion, Master Xu finally calmed down. But at this moment, Xu Jin suddenly asked, "Dad, isn't it that what happened today? You can't see that boy Xu Xun riding on our heads, right?"
It would be fine if Xu Jin didn't say it. After he said this, Master Xu suddenly thought of the ugly things he made tonight. Xu Xun was so good that he was furious. He suppressed it hard and could not help but snorted heavily.
"You dare to say it! If it weren't for the incident you made today, this matter would have been done easily!" He said this, and then said word by word, "How can he get away with it so cheaply? It's nothing if he has someone to rely on it. If I didn't think about this kid being treacherous, how could he have appeared tonight? Let's stop now and contact Mr. Luo first! No matter how cunning the prodigal son is, he can't beat the people behind Mr. Luo!"
Xu Dong understood it and immediately asked in a low voice: "Will Uncle Six obstruct?"
"A mere seventh-rank official, if he really meets a big man, he should give up! Today's big scene is to give him face, and I think he won't overestimate himself!"
