Chapter 831 The Xu Family Discusses the Qin Mission

Hearing this "Mr. Dai" say this, the housekeeper did not answer, and said with a smile:

"There are a lot of guests in Zhuangzi today, and the master can't pull away, can't greet him in person, and I hope that Mr. Dai is not strange. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Mr. Dai stepped out of the carriage, dusted off the hem of his robe, and said with a chuckle:

"It's already a big face to have you come out to greet you, what can you blame."

Listening to the sound of horses' hooves outside, someone shouted hello, and it was obvious that someone had arrived again, but the chief butler ignored the guests who came back and just accompanied Mr. Na Dai to go inside.

Dozens of steps to enter is the cloister, the cloister is built on a large pond, the pond is not too much to say is a berth, quite vast, look down on the cloister, you can see the water fish swimming, in another place there are mandarin ducks and water birds playing in the water, it is really picturesque, beautiful.

This Mr. Dai is not the first time to come, but he still walks very slowly, looking left and right to admire, seems quite fascinated, is walking, there are several maids and maids in front of him, chattering and laughing non-stop, dressed elegantly, but the appearance and figure are first-class.

"With guests here, what do you look like?"

The housekeeper reprimanded with a tiger face, several maids hurriedly bowed their heads and ran over, Mr. Dai squinted and watched with a smile, and when the women walked away, he said leisurely:

"Women should be matched with the scenery, the scenery is quiet, the one who is elected is unconventional, the scenery is gorgeous, and the one who is elected is beautiful, Xu Ge laughed and talked that day, but he didn't expect Xu Shilang to do it."

"Mr. Dai is smiling, there are other people waiting in the house, and Mr. Dai will be invited to taste it when the time comes."

Xu Jie was the cabinet assistant of the year, and his eldest son Xu Fan was the squire of the Ministry of Works, responsible for the renovation of the Forbidden City Palace, and returned to his hometown.

Interestingly, Xu Jiedou defeated Yan Song, and he had Yan Shifan's power fraud, and Yan Shifan's position was also a waiter in the Ministry of Works, and the Yan family and the Xu family were quite similar.

Coming in from the gate, it took a long time to walk slowly, which is also the grand regulation of the Xu family's mansion, which occupies a vast area, Mr. Dai complained:

"If it weren't for the pleasant scenery of your house, I would really break my leg this way, what kind of people did you say about the guests from all sides, besides the old man?"

"Back to Mr. Dai's words, the abbot of Puyuan Temple in Huishan, Changzhou Prefecture, the Hong family in Qingpu, Yan Baihu in Chuanshabao, Qi Qianhu in Qingcun, and the Zuo family in Nanqiao, Suzhou Mansion and Changzhou Mansion all have acquaintances coming over."

When Mr. Dai heard these names, he frowned and said:

"Be too careful, wouldn't it be honest to make such a battle come out and fall in the eyes of those who have a heart."

"Don't hide it from Mr. Dai, the Qin messenger sent by the Jingshi, the more my lord inquires, the more frightened he becomes, this person is not the same as Hai Rui back then, this"

In front of it is the living room, and there are already servants running in to report, according to the rules and etiquette, the master has to go out of the living room to greet him, Mr. Dai shook his head and said:

"What's so frightening, no wonder Xu Ge Lao told the old man to bring your master back to Songjiang together, such an insight, in the court, I'm afraid I will also suffer a big loss."

The housekeeper didn't dare to answer this, and a young man wearing a robe came out of the door, hugged his fists and said with a smile:

"I haven't seen Mr. Dai for a few years, and the style is better than in the past, the so-called immortals are nothing more than that, please inside, please hurry inside"

"If there is no family for you, there is no talk of this fairy day, but Xu Shilang is polite."

"You and I are commensurate with each other, why call me so formal, if you call me a squire, I will ask you to give something."

Both sides laughed, hand in hand into the living room, the living room has a lot of people seated, these people look at the dress is quite varied, there are monks, on the right sitting a fat monk, full of light, the flesh on the chin is stacked in two layers, the robe on the body is actually woven with gold thread, luxurious and abnormal.

Looking at it this way, this monk is the most conspicuous one, and there is also a big man sitting upright at the end of the right, this big man is wearing a long shirt with a gold pattern and a red bottom, but this dress is not descript on him, the wind blows in outside, blowing the hem of this person's long shirt, and he is actually shorts and straw sandals inside, which is really awkward.

This big man is thin, but he is muscular, and he is extremely strong, except for the monk and this big man, the rest are all figures dressed as military attachés, although the robes and robes are full of fierce beasts, but the grade is not too high, it is nothing more than the military generals in the hundred and thousands of households guarding the fort in the local area.

In contrast, the characters on the left are much more magnificent, and several of them are dressed similarly to Xu Fan and Mr. Dai, and they are rich and wealthy at first glance.

Xu Fan and Mr. Na Dai entered the door, and when they saw everyone looking over, Xu Fan said with a smile:

"I would like to introduce you, this is Mr. Dai Fengxiang, the owner of Suzhou Mansion Xiangyuan, Mr. Dai is also a friend of the Xu family, this time the Beijing master sent someone over, and I have to ask Mr. Dai to come up with an idea."

Putting aside those who don't know each other, everyone got up and said hello with a smile, and Mr. Dai also smiled and nodded, but sat on the left.

There were also people below who whispered, "Who is this Mr. Dai", but there were also people who knew, and someone immediately replied:

"It's the one who received the gold and brought down Hai Rui in the court."

The voice was very low, but when it came to this, everyone suddenly realized, Hai Rui came to Jiangnan to investigate and deal with it as the governor of Yingtian, and Hai Rui stared at the encroachment on the fields in Xu Jie's mansion, it is said that the Xu family used 30,000 taels of gold to bribe Dai Fengxiang, Dai Fengxiang participated in the impeachment of Hai Rui and forced his wife and concubine to death, so that Hai Rui was dismissed from office and let the Xu family escape.

However, this Dai Fengxiang also accepted it when he saw it, and he did not continue to delay in the DPRK after receiving this huge amount, and a year later he also resigned and returned to his hometown, built a garden in Suzhou Mansion, and lived happily.

Seeing everyone sitting down, the servants brought tea and snacks, Xu Fan waved his hand again, the people in the house all retreated, the housekeeper went to the door and put down the bamboo curtain, and stood outside and waited, Xu Fan cleared his throat and said:

"Everyone, the news from the Jingshi side must have already known, the father and uncle of the family bought this foundation, hoping to pass it on to the descendants of the Xu family, so that the Xu family will not worry about food and clothing for generations, but there is always that treacherous villain, who covets the wealth of our Xu family, in Beijing, in front of the saint, the evil words are hurt, Emperor Mu Zongzhuang at that time, there was Hai Rui for Bo a clear name, come here to provoke and make trouble, I thought that more than ten years have passed, there is nothing to do, who would have thought that there will be another Wang Tong, alas, I really don't know how to be good, please come, I would also like to ask you to help me with an idea. ”

Hearing him say this, everyone present exchanged glances with each other, what is going on with the Xu family's purchase of family business, in the Jiangnan area, who doesn't know who has a little status, but it's just a matter of knowing this kind of thing, there is no need to be more serious.

After Xu Fan finished saying this, a rich man on the left got up and said:

"What Master Xu said makes sense, we, the people in the south of the Yangtze River, saved money in our ancestors to get this little industry, relying on this to support the food and clothing of the family, so that the children can study the imperial examination, but how can these people in the north not see our hard work, but they always stare at those little things, Master Xu, this time the Beijing master is not good, if you check your mansion, I am afraid the next step is to stare at us."

As he spoke, this rich man became excited, and said in a red voice:

"My family's bastard generally spends the family's silver, but I don't see him speak when I encounter such things, I have asked the family to send him a letter before I come, even if he doesn't do it, he has to go to the emperor, and he has to explain the suffering of our Jiangnan people."

"It's not easy to be outside the stone, don't be angry, everyone came here, didn't you just want to discuss and get an idea."

Xu Fan comforted him a few words, and the stone clerk sat down out of breath, but one of the people sitting next to him said in a deep voice:

"There are a lot of boats from Songjiang Mansion and Jiaxing Mansion and Hangzhou Mansion to Tianjin Wei, and there is also a lot of news about Wang Tong brought back over there, this Wang Tong achieved this position at a young age, not relying on favor, this person is a shrewd character, and those scholars who can only move their mouths are different."

"Indeed, I originally thought that this Wang Tong was just a child, or there was a master behind him, but now I look at it, Tianjin Wei Kaihai, a card is set up on the canal, and he sells alkali, not to mention these big victories, they are all scenes made by his own punches and kicks, such a person comes"

"Why are you worried about this, could it be that you haven't heard about the marriage?"

"The will to give marriage has been withdrawn again, and now that matter is rumored to be a beautiful conversation, now that Hai Rui is sparse, and he will immediately send this king out of Beijing."

Looking at the arguments of the people below, Xu Fan's brows furrowed, but Dai Fengxiang on the side took a sip of the tea unhurriedly, and after taking a sip, he seemed to praise the good tea and tasted it carefully.

While arguing, the fat monk opened his mouth angrily, and when he opened his mouth, his voice was quite loud, and he suppressed the voices of all the people in the room:

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's windy and rainy right now, the river is not peaceful, and there are drowning people, Lao Liao knows a lot of heroes on the river and the sea."

"Abbot of Puyuan, Abbot of Puyuan, be cautious."

An officer of a hundred households on the side hurriedly interrupted the monk's words, and everyone looked over, and the hundred households paused and said:

"If something really happens, it is inevitable that there will be entanglements everywhere, the Jinyi Wei in Nanjing and we are not dealing with it, besides, these days are calm, what kind of wind and waves are there when walking on the river."

The big man who had not spoken out said in a deep voice:

"When you cross the river, or when you cross the Taihu Lake, there is a lot of wind and waves over there."

Speaking of this, several people dressed as military attaches were silent, but the fat monk asked with great interest:

"Lao Liao, let's be clear, don't be so appetizing."

"Ridiculous, ridiculous"

was talking happily here, and suddenly heard Dai Fengxiang slam the teacup on the coffee table.
