5. Eavesdropping
"Okay," Xue Wenlong stood up, his round face was calm, "You are a little guy, what are you going to do outside, are you being beaten?" ”
"Uncle, how can you say that," the little guy's face was unhappy, "Even if we are a little guy, we are also a little guy of the Xue family." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"Okay, okay, I forgot, the little guy also has ideals," Xue Wenlong stretched his waist and stood in place again, "Uncle Ben can't look down on you, what's your name?" Called Zhen'er? Zhen'er, why isn't it called a fake? Okay, okay,"
Xue Wenlong continued, "No kidding, hurry up, put on my boots, change my clothes, and I'll go out and have a look." ”
"Didn't Uncle just say that he would support himself?" Zhen'er said suspiciously, "Why do you need to change clothes in a small way." ”
"This is a chance for Zhen'er to perform," Xue Wenlong said calmly, "If I do it myself, what will you do if you lose your job in the future and have no monthly money?" Doesn't that hurt you? ”
Because she was afraid that she would lose her monthly money if she was unemployed, Zhen'er worked hard to change Xue Wenlong into a clean plain clothes, and tied the filial piety cloth on Xue Wenlong's head very tightly, for fear that she would not do a good job, Xue Wenlong bared his teeth, shook his head, and followed the little guy out of the room with a blank body.
I don't know if it's a special period, there is no figure in the mansion, only Zhen'er took Xue Wenlong all the way through the flowers and willows, going around east and west, and after a few clicks, Xue Wenlong was dizzy and panting, "I said, why is our mansion so big?" ”
"Uncle, you forgot, when our Xue family was in the Taizu Dynasty, they donated military funds to Emperor Taizu, Emperor Taizu was very happy, after Dingding Central Plains unified the world, he gave us the hereditary official position of the scholar in the middle school, and let us be the imperial businessman, after many years of prosperity, what is this mansion so big," Zhen'er looked proud, "Seventy or eighty years of heritage, naturally it is so big!" ”
"Okay, okay," Xue Wenlong muttered secretly, "What does this have to do with you, really, what's so much about being blind and proud!" ”
Coming out of the sleeping place at the back, to the front, there were gradually many people on the road, although the servants had a panicked look on their faces, but in the end they behaved as usual, seeing Xue Wenlong and the two of them, they acted separately after saying hello, Xue Wenlong kept nodding, well, the tutor of the Xue family seems to be very good, and the people below are quite well-behaved.
Zhen'er explained quietly, "The housekeeper is waiting in the mourning hall, and he should have come out to greet him." He pointed to the hall with a white cloth hanging in front of him, the white cloth swayed in the wind, and there was a faint cry in the hall, Xue Wenlong couldn't stand still, "Come in and take a look." ”
He took Xue Wenlong into the mourning hall from behind, Zhen'er thought about it and hurriedly walked to the main hall, but was pulled by Xue Wenlong, "Let's listen to it in the back first, what is going on." ”
Xue Wenlong stood behind the screen, listening carefully, only to hear a low sob, and then someone spoke.
"His third uncle, five uncles and eight uncles, not long after the old man passed away, this is the first seven, I thought that you originally came over, probably the meaning of the memorial, but you actually took other things to say, this was originally nothing, but in the end the old man passed away, should not say this in front of the spirit, if it is the head of the family's business, let's change the place, carefully discuss that is, they are all their own people in the family, and I will never do things by myself without discussing with the big guys."
This voice is Xue Wang's family, his mother, Xue Wenlong listened with his ears pricked up, in the mourning hall, there were obviously not only a few people, after all, there were low sobs and coughing and sighing one after another, not like there were few people.
Someone coughed and cleared his throat, "Madam, reasoning, I shouldn't have said this in front of the spirit when the eldest brother was not buried, but in the end, our family should also have an idea, the eldest brother has passed away, but the family has to deal with the errand above, which is indispensable, not to mention anything else, there is more than a month, the offering of one million taels of silver is to be handed over, but because the eldest brother was seriously ill before and could not be a director, so this matter has been delayed for a long time, and if it drags on, it is nothing if you can't pay the errand, and you will lose money." ”
"But what we want to supply to the imperial court, if we delay, we can't say that we will raid the family and exterminate the clan, the eldest brother has worked hard for so many years, pulling the Xue family up from the ordinary imperial businessmen in the past, and pulling it to the head of the current imperial businessmen, the big guy, the brothers are very grateful, originally thought that they would listen to the orders of the eldest brother for the rest of their lives, and continue to do the errand business well, but the eldest brother is not eternal, and he died young, and the big guy is heartbroken, hey!"
This voice is very gentle and gentle, and the sigh is extremely painful, it seems to be really very sad, Xue Wenlong was also quite moved when he heard it, but Zhen'er leaned into Xue Wenlong's ear and whispered, "This is the fifth master, the fifth brother of the master, who is separated from the room, don't look at him as if he has a good heart, in fact, he is the most treacherous, don't take it seriously!" ”
As soon as the fifth old man sighed like this, many people also sighed, and there seemed to be other female dependents in the mourning hall, hearing such sad words, he couldn't help but sobbed again, and Xue Wang also said in a nasal voice, "His fifth uncle, what you said is good." Your big brother, hey! ”
"Mrs., please mourn, what the eldest brother was thinking about before his death was to carry forward the Xue family, speaking of which, it is still useless for a few brothers, and you can't share the burden of the eldest brother, eldest brother," the fifth old man said with a crying tone, "I was dragged to death by us!" ”
said that he wanted King Xue to mourn, but he himself was about to cry, King Xue was the most compassionate, and at this time he comforted him, "It doesn't have to be like this, the master values your younger brothers the most, there is no such thing." ”
"Yes! Be! The fifth master seemed to blow his nose very hard, Xue Wenlong saw Zhen'er on the side with a disdainful expression, and he said to Xue Wenlong with a message, "Old fox."
"What Mrs. said is very true, so the brothers think about the eldest brother's last wishes, and always have to help, no matter what, they fight for their lives, and they also want to keep the career left by the eldest brother, but next, we have to prepare for the worship, the deadline is coming soon, if it can't be completed, we can't earn silver, that's second, but it's a bad errand, the internal affairs government and the household department are angry, if the time comes, go up to the heavens, and rain down the wrath of thunder, then I'm afraid that our Xue family will not be able to eat and go around!"
After the fifth master's words were finished, there was silence in the mourning hall, and the Xue Wang clan was obviously panicked, "In that case, how can it be good?" You brothers still have to think of a way to come out. ”
Xue Wenlong looked disdainful, what did I say, it turned out to be a matter of internal faction within the family, and it was really such a bullshit affair in all dynasties and dynasties.
"It's not that there is no way," the fifth master said slowly, "I'm afraid that you won't want to be your wife." ”
"How do you say this, how can I have a reason to refuse."
Oh, my old lady, Xue Wenlong hated iron and steel, and people were waiting for you to do this!
