When Xu Ge Lao woke up, he found that he had returned to Zhilu.

The Golden Court of the Tai Hospital was pulling the golden needles off his face one by one.

"Grandpa, you're awake." Xu Yuanchun looked at Xu Ge with a worried head, and his head was like a hedgehog.

"......" Xu Jie turned a deaf ear, and only looked at the top of the tent, as if this world had nothing to do with him.

"Imperial Doctor Jin, can't my grandfather hear me?" Xu Yuanchun asked worriedly.

The judge of the Golden Court shook his head and said vaguely: "Eldest prince, the elder needs to be quiet. ”

"Oh." Xu Yuanchun understood.

After the Golden Court sentenced him to collect the needle and quit, Xu Yuanchun also said softly: "Grandpa, let's sleep well." ”

"Go home." Xu Jie hissed: "Let's go......"

"Doctor Jin said that grandpa was angry and emotionally sick. Try to stay in bed and don't move. Xu Yuanchun reminded in a low voice.

"Let's go!" Xu Jie slapped the bed board, which was not negotiable at all.

"Okay, grandpa, don't worry, grandpa will arrange it." Xu Yuanchun touched a handful of tears, and hurriedly went out to order someone to prepare to carry the public.

The three members of the cabinet and Teng Xiang were also in the courtyard, and after asking about the situation, Zhang Juzheng reminded in a deep voice: "How to carry the public opinion, ask for a sedan chair." ”

Lifting is the Taishi chair plus two lifting rods. It's not that Xu Ge can't afford to sit in a sedan chair, but the rules of the Forbidden City are strict, and officials can only walk as usual. It is the emperor's grace to the elders.

Xu Ge Lao is now half-dead, is he carrying it out for exhibition?

Teng Xiang also said enthusiastically: "The celebrant has a sedan chair!" ”

He instructed the chamberlain to quickly remove the sedan chair he was riding in when he left the palace, spread the mattress, and carry it over.

After a busy meal, the sedan chair was ready. The four of them told Xu Yuanchun that they must take care of Shoufu, so they avoided it first.

It is estimated that he is an old man, and now he just wants to be quiet, and he doesn't want to see any of them.

Xu Yuanchun and Chang followed, carried Xu Ge Lao out of the quilt, settled in the car, and then got up and went out of the palace......

At this time, it was less than three hours before Xu Ge Lao entered the palace, and it was just lunch time.

Looking at the old man's sedan chair from afar, it disappeared in the direction of Donghua Gate.

The three scholars all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Even goods like Teng Xiang know that Xu Gelao's career as prime minister is basically coming to an end today.

"Oh, that's unfortunate." Gonggong Teng shook off the dust, arched his hand towards the three scholars, and said, "It's up to the three of you." ”

All three of them smiled bitterly and did not respond.

How do you respond? You can't laugh out loud, can you?

~~

West Chang'an Street, the Prime Minister's Residence.

The sun is shining today, and Xu Fan has finally stepped out of the shadows.

Although he had bruises on his face, he already had a smile.

Ji also breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered someone to put the dining table in the courtyard, and enjoyed the long-lost leisure time with her husband with the fragrance of birds and flowers and the murmuring of water.

"Come, ma'am, let's do it."

Xiao Ge Lao held the wine glass, touched it lightly with Ji's, and said apologetically: "It's not good for my husband for a while, thanks to my wife's care." ”

"Hey, that's it, it's all over, let's don't grudge with others in the future." Mrs. Ji didn't quarrel with him anymore, twisted the wine glass and said: "It is said that 'harmony makes money', this is not false at all, you said that if you don't get angry, how good?" ”

"Why are you mentioning that stubble again?!" Xu Fan was not happy when he heard it, put down the wine glass heavily, and said angrily: "Did I provoke them?" ”

"Isn't it?!" Mrs. Ji also darkened her face.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, they heard a noise at the backyard door.

The couple followed the prestige, only to see the group of people who entered the palace with Xu Ge in the morning, hugging the big sedan chair, and came back dejected.

Xu Yuanchun also followed aside, with a sad face.

"What's wrong?!" The two of them hurriedly got up to meet them. "Coming back so soon?"

"Grandpa, he ......" Xu Yuanchun's tears flowed down.

"Ahh Xu Fan's eyes darkened, thinking that something was wrong with the old man.

Fortunately, when the long-term follower was quite clever, he hurriedly stepped forward and whispered the situation.

Of course, he had no way of knowing the bullet from the second master.

"Oh, it's okay......" Hearing that the old man just fainted, Xiao Ge Lao breathed a sigh of relief and glared at Xu Yuanchun fiercely.

"What do you think is wrong, look at how I clean you up!"

Hurriedly carried Xu Ge Lao into the bedroom, and after settling down properly, Xu Fan came out with a black face and looked at Xu Yuanchun coldly.

Xu Yuanchun couldn't help but shudder, and his buttocks began to ache faintly.

"What's going on?!" Xiao Ge Lao asked in a low voice, "It's okay to go out!" ”

"It's the second grandfather......"

"Second uncle? What happened to him?! ”

Xu Yuanchun hurriedly told his father what he had seen and heard.

After hearing this, Xiao Ge Lao's eyes were dark again, and his face changed several times before he stabilized his figure, brushed out his feather duster, and roared: "I'll kill you turtle grandson!" ”

Xu Yuanchun was so frightened that he squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, and after a while, he realized that his father was not beating him, but a picture of "Xiyuan Summer Picture" hanging on the wall.

The picture above is the situation when Xu Ge Lao Ding was worried, enjoying the joy of family with his children at home.

The most conspicuous position of the picture scroll is the figure of Xu Jie and Xu Zhi brothers sitting on the Luohan bed, leisurely playing against each other.

Xu Fan's feather duster was pumped more than a dozen times in a row, beating Xu Zhi's portrait to shreds. Of course, it was inevitable that he would be injured by mistake and lose Xu Ge's face.

~~

Xu Ge's old grain rice did not enter, and it did not stick to the water, and he has been lying for three days and three nights...... Finally, I couldn't stand the thirst anymore, so I drank some water in my son's arms.

"Father, don't be too sad, there may be some misunderstanding here." Xu Fan comforted his father softly.

It's only been three days, and the red-faced and energetic Xu Ge Lao has already sunken his eyes and is withered.

Now it is said that he is eighty years old.

"There's no misunderstanding, he's hated me all his life." A cloudy tear rolled out of Xu Jie's left eye socket, and he muttered: "The younger brother of the old man is better at reading than me, but he has been spoiled by your grandmother since he was a child, and he can't eat it at all." ”

"In the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing, your second uncle entered Beijing to participate in the examination. At that time, the main exam was the old man's fellow villager to Sun Yizhai, so the old man hoped that he could take the exam three years later. ”

Xu Fan nodded, Sun Yizhai is Sun Chengen, the official to the Ministry of Rites, not only has a good relationship with the Xu family, but also the two are in-laws.

And at that time, my father had just finished many years of exile and was promoted back to Beijing by Shoufu Xia Yan.

At that time, the struggle between Xia Yan and Yan Song had become white-hot, and the slightest mistake would once again become a victim of the political struggle.

Therefore, with his father's cautious character, it is completely understandable that he is unwilling to provoke right and wrong.

In fact, a few years later, the imperial court decided to release Xu Fan as the prefect of Changsha, and the officials all issued letters of appointment. But Xu Ge refused stiffly, and asked the court to arrange for him to be reappointed to an idle post in Beijing.

But Xu Fan can understand his father, but Xu Zhi can't understand his brother......

"Your second uncle disagreed, insisted on participating in the big competition, and finally ranked in the top 50. It is said that this ranking is not bad, but he is arrogant and has always thought that he has the best talent. Later, I heard from somewhere that I originally took the fifth place in the exam, but my father instructed Sun Yizhai to beat him down to 50 to avoid suspicion. ”

As a result, he counted the account of losing the election of Shu Jishi on his father's head, thinking that I was jealous of him and afraid that he would win the palace examination, so he let people lower his ranking. At that time, he was messing with me all day long, forcing me to promise again and again that after the end of the political observation, I would definitely help him with a good official position, and then it stopped a little. ”

Who knew that in the second year, his mentor Xia Guixi was tragically abandoned in the city, and the old man, as a mentor and apprentice, was also in deep danger. Your second uncle was somewhat implicated, and was assigned to the Nanjing Pedestrian Division, which ghosts don't want to go. Xu Jie sighed and said:

"Now he hated the old man completely, went home and cried to his mother, causing Mrs. Tai to fall seriously ill, and wrote a letter to scold him for being a father and a beast as ......"

ps: Friendly reminder: At that time, it was called 'section chief' in the matter, not nonsense. Let's put it this way, the words I use in the dialogue between the characters are all well-thought. Before you think it's weird, you might as well take a look at Baidu. Well, if Baidu doesn't get it, I won't use it.
