Chapter 82 A few things
After leaving the Prince's Mansion, Chu Mo did not go home directly, but went to the Xu Mansion first. Xu Fufu, who came out after hearing the news, looked at Chu Mo with a sad face: "You guy... actually ran to the Prince's Mansion. You have lived there for so many days. I said, what benefits did that old thief give you?"
"Huh? You're not called him a bastard?" Chu Mo asked in surprise.●⌒
"..." Xu Fu was covered in black lines: "Is this the point of the problem? Since you were heard by others that day, those who look down on Xia Jing now use the word "old thief" to call him privately! It's really hard to say, these two words are... so exciting!"
"..." Chu Mo was also full of black lines and looked at Xu Fufu: "How is the Qingzhou Mu... going on?"
"What can it do?" Xu Fufu sneered: "The guy who came to ask for someone over there was arrogant at first and was so arrogant. When he saw me, his legs became weak. I scolded me and drove me back. Three days later, Zhang Chong secretly arrived in Yanhuang City. When I saw him, I scolded me again."
Chu Mo suddenly interrupted, "He promised you a few beauties?"
Xu Fufu widened his eyes and looked injured: "Ten...but of course I can't agree, Chu Xiaohei... You just don't believe in my integrity?"
Chu Mo sneered: "I don't believe in Zhang Chong! He must think that for guys like you, using beauties is more effective than using anything else!"
"He failed this time, brother, I have a limit. Do you think there is only women in the eyes of the Xu family?" Xu Fufu rolled his eyes and said, "The old guy wanted to defend his son at first, but I scolded him. I said that if my brother hadn't reacted quickly and had a kind heart, he would have been shot and killed by an arrow from the Prince's Mansion!"
"What did he say?" Chu Mo said.
Xu Fufu looked admiring: "That old guy is really a fry who has been immersed in the officialdom for a lifetime. He is so smart. After hearing what I said, I will say that the archer will never be sent by the prince, saying that the prince cannot do such a thing."
Chu Mo nodded. It would be normal for Zhang Chong to have such a reaction. If he could turn against each other and curse Xia Jing at once, that would be a ghost.
Xu Fufu said, "The old guy is not provoked by me, but he has accepted our favor. He said that after he goes back, he will be very disciplined and will never let his son come out to cause trouble."
"It's all over?" Chu Mo glanced at Xu Fufu, feeling that it didn't look like Mr. Xu Shi's style.
Xu Fufu sneered: "How is that possible? That idiot dares to scold you and not let him lose a layer of skin. Can I give up? Hey, I gave that letter to Zhang Chong, and what Zhang Qingyu said at that time, all of them were told to the old guy. Hey, Zhang Chong was almost so angry that he vomited blood. I guess that idiot Zhang Qingyu recovered from his injuries after he returned home, and he still had a beating!"
Chu Mo sighed in his heart that this matter could only be the case. Even if Zhang Chong knew who was behind the attack on Zhang Qingyu, he would probably have traveled as far as he could, and he would definitely not have the courage to face His Royal Highness faced the prince.
Although the provincial governor is already very powerful, he will definitely be crushed to the point where he will not even be left with a scum when facing the prince.
The palace struggles of any dynasty are an extremely terrifying vortex. No matter who it is, once it is swallowed by this vortex, it may be rare to have a good ending.
"From your appearance, you seem to be a little dissatisfied with this result?" Xu Fufu knew Chu Mo too well, and when he saw Chu Mo's reaction, he immediately asked.
Chu Mo shook his head: "We beat someone's son and made a lot of trouble. It's already great that Zhang Chong can still owe us a favor."
Xu Fufu raised his eyebrows: "It's like you ruining that bastard Xia Jie, and then Xia Jing even treated you as an uncle?"
Chu Mo glanced at Xu Fufu: "I have the ability to make him surrender. Otherwise, do you think he would treat me like that?"
Xu Fufu looked at Chu Mo and sighed: "Brother Xiao Hei, to be honest, you have changed a lot when you come back this time. If it were someone like Xia Jing in the past, you would never have cooperated with him."
Chu Mo was silent for a moment and said, "I have become indifferent to good and evil and have no position... is it?"
"No, I've become very mature! It's much more mature than me. In the past few days, my grandfather, who never talks during dinner, has raised you at the dinner table less than ten times! Every time I talk about you, I have the expression of why you are not his grandson..." Xu Fufu said with some depression: "The number of times I've been scolded in the past few days... has also risen sharply!"
Chu Mo laughed: "You deserve it, you should have done some serious business!"
Xu Fufu rolled his eyes and said, "I have done a lot of serious business these days!" Then he lowered his voice and leaned into Chu Mo's ear and said, "Sister Yi Niang... has contacted the one-armed uncle in your mansion. Now, there are hundreds of people in our hands! But... if we really want to play a role, it will be the New Year after that."
"There will be hundreds of people so soon?" Chu Mo was a little surprised and very happy, saying, "The New Year will be in three days, and it will be very good to play a role after the New Year."
"Brother Xiao Hei, I found that... Sister Yi Niang is not only very concerned about this matter, but also seems... she is also very suitable for this! It seems that Taotie Tower is about to change its boss. Because she has been in a long time, she will definitely not be able to take care of both sides. That's too tiring." Xu Fufu said.
"Then let Sister Mei take the lead!" Chu Mo said with a look of course: "She should be completely familiar with the process of Taotie Tower now, right? What a pity for such a smart woman to make her idle?"
Xu Fufu said angrily: "She is proficient in both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so she is the owner of the restaurant... don't you feel sorry?"
"Then where do you think she should go?" Chu Mo glanced at Xu Fufu: "I know you are pitying, but have you ever asked her what she thinks? How can you be sure she is unwilling?"
"Huh? Chu Xiaohei... I found that you seem to know a little about girls now? Could it be... I met a girl this time, right?" Xu Fufu looked at Chu Mo with a curious look: "When you talk about women, you have always been away from home."
Chu Mo's face turned slightly dark and he said angrily: "It's all your business! Is grandpa at home?"
"At home." Xu Fufu immediately closed his mouth.
This is the benefit of knowing each other. Knowing where the other party’s bottom line is, although Xu Fufu was so curious that he was like a cat scratching, he would never take the initiative to ask about this matter.
Because he could see that his brother had a story!
Then, Chu Mo came to Xu Zhongliang's study again.
The old man looked very busy and did not greet Chu Mo too much, and got to the point: "A few things, first, you have to attend this year's New Year's dinner, and before the dinner begins, there will be a small, short... medal awarding ceremony!"
Xu Fufu was on the side and looked at Chu Mo with envy. After so many days, even if Xu Zhongliang didn't say it, it was not difficult for the dignified Young Master Xu Shi to find out what happened on the grassland in the west.
Xu Zhongliang did not hide it from his grandson, but told him the inside story, and he also wanted to inspire Xu Fufu.
"Hero Medal! When can I get one?" Xu Fufu murmured softly.
Xu Zhongliang glanced at his grandson, didn't want to attack him, so he ignored him, and continued, "Second, at the New Year's dinner, you... will be the representative of the military to toast His Majesty."
"Ah?" Chu Mo looked at Xu Zhongliang with a surprised look, his mouth twitched, and said, "Grandpa Xu... I'm afraid this... isn't right?"
Xu Zhongliang looked at Chu Mo: "What's wrong?"
"I'm not a soldier..."
"But you have great contributions! Moreover, your contributions can only belong to the military! Otherwise, that old person in Fang Mingtong would definitely go crazy." Thinking of Fang Mingtong's expression when he heard about this, Xu Zhongliang still had the urge to laugh. It was really satisfying!
"But others don't know!"
"It's enough for Your Majesty, I, and Marshal Fang to know!"
"I'm so young... I'm pushing me out like this, how many people will be jealous of me in their hearts? Isn't this equivalent to baking me on the fire?"
"You little damn, do you care about the jealousy?"
"I don't care...but..."
"Nothing but!" Xu Zhongliang waved his hand vigorously: "You little thing, no one can ask for it, but you push it around and say you are mature... I think you are too mature, how can you learn to be as smooth as our old guys? You are a passionate boy, why do you care about so many things? This is obvious, Emperor, Marshal Fang... and I, I want to hold you together! With us, what are you afraid of?"
Xu Zhongliang said, glaring at Chu Mo with a reluctant look: "You can even play with the Prince of Daxia in your palms, are you afraid of other challenges?"
"Don't talk nonsense, you old man, the dignified prince... can't I, a little kid, play with you?" Chu Mo said honestly.
"Do you still know?" Xu Zhongliang sneered at Chu Mo: "If your grandfather is not around, I have to take on the heavy responsibility of discipline you. Do you really think Xia Jing is an easy person? He is a prince who can sit in the position of chief of the cabinet for so many years. He will be a person without means and scheming? If you dare to underestimate him, you will definitely lose very badly in the end!"
Xu Zhongliang said, his tone eased, and he said earnestly: "You are still young, your prospects are too bright. Don't be affected by some messy things. Don't participate in the broken things between the palace."
"What's going on in the palace?" Chu Mo was shocked and looked at Xu Zhongliang.
"That archer, grandpa used some means to investigate. It was found that he was a personal guard secretly accepted by His Highness Xia Hao, the third prince, more than ten years ago. Later, he used means to send it to the prince's mansion." Xu Zhongliang looked at Chu Mo: "When this archer left the prince's mansion without authorization and wanted to shoot Zhang Qingyu and blame you, do you think... Xia Jing is really unaware of it?"
