Xu Yu invited Xu Run to make tea to eat, brought a bronze tea stove by himself, and fiddled with the tea set to wash and scrub, Xu Run watched his movements and said, "It's better to call Su Lan from Qiushuitang, she is very good at talking." ”

"Sulan?" Xu Yu thought for a while and said, "It's okay." ”

Half an hour later, Su Lan hurried over, and smiled from afar: "Yo! Today, the second master is so elegant, it must be that the elegant person is here, but with the addition of me, a layman, doesn't it make the elegant thing vulgar? ”

Xu Yu smiled: "Aren't you an elegant person?" Come and sit down. ”

"It's just a vulgar person." The well-dressed Su Lan walked closer, looked at the antique three-legged tripod curiously, and praised: "Seeing this tea set has quenched people's thirst." ”

"Sure enough, it's Yaren, please take a seat." Xu Yu poured her a glass of water.

"Thank you." Su Lan sat on the ground in a free and easy posture, Xu Yu expressed satisfaction, and the two said a few words. Suddenly, Su Lan said to Xu Run: "Why haven't you been staying at home recently, have you ever seen her?" ”

"Nope." Xu Run suddenly looked stunned, "How can she come out?" I don't know where I am. ”

Su Lan said: "Where can't you settle down? Besides, if she is a human being, how can she be wronged for a long time? ”

"Who are you talking about?" Xu Yu asked.

Su Lan explained: "I'm talking about a younger sister of mine, who entered the mansion and was by the side of the third young master before. ”

!

"On the third brother's side?" Xu Yu fanned the water vapor in front of him and said, "Although the third brother is not very considerate, he will not abuse people. To be honest, it's much more leisurely and comfortable than being around us. ”

"I don't think so." Xu Run sighed: "As far as I know, Xuan'er is inseparable from the rules every step of the way, and it is inconvenient for a person like Qin Yan who is idle and cold by nature. It was the last time, I saw Qin Yan come out to serve, and it was very reluctant, there was no way. ”

Su Lan said softly: "Who said it wasn't, now that she sees us, she is also alive, I think she is always depressed in her heart." ”

Xu Yu didn't know that Qin Yan had entered a corn garden. It's a younger brother's person, and it's not easy to say anything, so he sighed.

At this moment, the water was already boiling, he took out a jade tea jar, mixed four kinds of famous tea, brewed it with his own hands, and put the twelve washed purple sand teacups on the table, four for each person.

"I want you to make yourself yourself, I'm tired." After Xu Run finished speaking, he gave Su Lan a look.

Xu Yu said: "Can you taste it?" ”

Su Lan picked one up, blew on it, and tasted it. praised: "The fragrance is full of mouth, and it is really good tea." He turned to Xu Run and said, "Have you seen Master Xia recently?" ”

"I haven't seen him for two months." Xu Run frowned, "I originally wanted to find him, but who knew that he was out of the city." ”

Xu Yu smiled: "You are wrong, even if Master Xia is at home, he knows that you must be begging him to arrange for Qin Yan to come out, so he hid out." ”

"Oh." Xu Run's face couldn't help but darken.

Su Lan said, "You don't know what happened to Master Xia recently, right? ”

"What's the matter?" Xu Run asked.

Su Lan smiled: "This Master Xia used to be disgusted with Qin Yan, and I hated him very much in my heart. And even what happened later, it was not bad to be a person. I don't think he was a wicked man, but he was misguided, and I didn't know that he would have spoiled people in the past. Now it's also being ruined, and I probably won't have a face to see people in the future. ”

Xu Run and Xu Yu were both very surprised when they heard this, and asked in unison, "What's going on?" ”

Su Lan said: "You don't know that he begged the third young master, and the third young master turned to ask for Young Master Kun and the fourth master. Did you find him a money and grain master from the Governor's Mansion? Who knew that this had not been waiting for a few days, and he was pitted by others, and he was taken by the prostitute and sent to the criminal department by the prostitute. ”

Xu Run was taken aback. Busy asked, "Is there such a thing?" Why did you send it to the Criminal Department? ”

"I don't really understand." Su Lan tilted her head and recalled: "I also heard what Zhang Zhongyu said, and it has been about two or three days. That day, Master Xia invited his boss to drink at the rich third master's house, and the rich third master remembered something and went out. The bored Master Xia asked the little maid to call a sister and borrow the little maid's house for the night to spend the night. Nearly two watch days, still drinking and singing in the house, a city patrol officer came to check the night, Master Xia saw that he knew him, and had eaten and listened to the same table before, so he relieved himself and invited people to sit down, but the officials refused, so Master Xia joked with others. Who knows that the official changed his face and said Lao Xia, don't joke today, do you know how to do business? ”

At that time, Master Xia didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "What is a business or private matter?" Don't put an official on your face, I am from the Xu Mansion, and it is common for the third master of Xu to drink prostitutes. Sit down! ”

The other party sneered: "Don't say it's you, today I was ordered to patrol the night, even if Xu Sanye is sitting here, I will also take him." ”

With a wave of his hand, several military servants stepped forward and threw the chain around Master Xia's neck, pulled it out and left, and locked the little maid and the prostitute. Poor Xia Jue, dressed in a new official uniform, was tied to the horse's ass by them, and ran away all the way.

Speaking of this, Xu Yu said, "You go on. ”

Su Lan continued: "At that time, it was taken to the place where the night patrol was settled, and it was directly interrogated. One of Master Xia's subordinates was clever, dragged a bookkeeper from the quilt, explained one hundred and sixty taels of silver on the spot, wrote a note to find a guarantor, and unlocked it. Both sides made a set of false confessions, which wrote that the little maid stayed with Master Xia to eat, and when the little maid's married sister came home to visit her younger brother, she did not eat and drink at the same table, but mixed men and women. ”

Xu Run wondered: "This is also considered to be dealt with in the past, why did it alarm the Criminal Department again?" ”

Su Lan said: "I heard that it was the commander of the city patrol above who learned that the people below were cheating and dirty, and they made false confessions and released people, so they reported the case and sent it to the Criminal Department. ”

"So Master Xia is in the prison of the Criminal Department?" Xu Yu shook his head slightly, "Then he will definitely ask the third brother to come forward, thinking that he is a small official who does not enter the stream, and he will be punished for a year, and he will come out." ”

Su Lan said: "According to Zhang Zhongyu, it's probably too embarrassing, and it's not a big crime, so Master Xia wants to hide it from the house." I also heard that Master Xia made a point from the ninth grade, if the criminal department decided the case, then I am afraid that the reputation will be gone. ”

Xu Yu didn't take it seriously, but Xu Run remembered Master Xia's kindness when he took the piano and went out of the house to visit him, and said hurriedly: "How is this good?" I have an uncle who is also messing around outside, going to prostitute in the summer, and even his clothes are stripped by the inspection department, and the punishment of demotion is very unsightly. Relatives and friends know about it, but they still can't hold their heads up. ”

"Who made him commit a crime against the wind?" Su Lan didn't have much sympathy, "If a good master doesn't do it, the official is obsessed, and such a person is an official, and the people will suffer." ”

Xu Yu nodded and said, "Su Lan is right, Master Xia dares to talk about my father, I have to go and warn the third brother immediately, if you dare to come forward, see if I don't tell my father about this." ”

After saying that, he stood up and left, Xu Run was stunned for a moment. He complained, "What are you talking about?" It's okay now, I can't see Qin Yan again. ”

Su Lan smiled: "I'm just for Qin Yan!" The second young master saw that I was well-informed, and he would naturally think of me in the future, and I would be able to come over from time to time, so it would not be easy to find Qin Yan in Yisu Garden? ”

Xu Run suddenly raised his thumb in surprise and joy, and praised: "You still understand, admire." ”

He sent Su Lan back to Qiushuitang to meet a few friends. I got home very late. When she went to the upper room to greet her mother, Mrs. Xu's face was a little unhappy, and Xu Run didn't dare to say anything, so she stood aside in a daze.

Mrs. Xu said slowly: "Your father has a letter back from home. He knows what you do, and I can't teach you a lesson when I blame me. Forget it, see for yourself. ”

"Yes." Xu Run took the letter with both hands and read it respectfully. Immediately, his face flushed.

Mrs. Xu doted on her son and felt pity for him in her heart, but she sneered on her face: "You know that you are afraid? It's up to you to learn well in the future. If you don't learn well, it's up to you, I can't look at you for a lifetime. It's just that if you don't learn well, you may not be willing to follow when you come back. ”

"The child knows it's wrong." Xu Run looked ashamed, he didn't dare to sit or go.

Mrs. Xu was not comforted, and asked casually, "What are you doing outside today?" ”

Xu Run said: "Today, I talked to Yu'er's nephew Pin Ming in the house. ”

"And Xu Yu?" Mrs. Xu's face looked much better, and she said with a smile: "Brother Yu is a good boy, don't listen to their jokes that people are not proactive, are you spending all day drinking, gambling and prostituting outside, and making some friendly friends and dogs?" Xu Ye is like her mother, a decent person who is both civil and military, but the older she gets, the more mediocre she becomes, but Xu Yu is like his father carved out a mold, he didn't like to socialize when he was a teenager, he blindly hid at home and messed with his sisters, and he seemed to be full of fat and powder, but if you take a closer look, which of those girls in his garden is not talented? Which one is not a good mentor or friend? Isn't this exactly the same as Xu Hao back then? According to me, sooner or later, one day, Xu Yu will already be a blockbuster, just because he is Xu Hao's son. ”

Xu Run didn't expect his mother to have such a high opinion of Xu Yu, among the three brothers of the Xu family, Xu Yu's reputation has become worse and worse in recent years, and he has almost become synonymous with an incompetent gold powder son. Now that I think about it, isn't it a discipline to stay at home and fool around? In a sense, it can be regarded as a big hidden in the city.

"Mother, what do you think of Xu Xuan?" Xu Run is very curious, in the past year, Xu Xuan suddenly became keen on making friends, and changed his withdrawn personality when he was a child, who doesn't know the name of Xu Sangongzi recently?

I don't want Mrs. Xu to say: "It's just a layman, at most, it's nothing more than Xu Wen and Xu Song are first-class and decent." Among the generations of the Xu family, only Master Tai and Xu Hao can be called the best among the people, I only hope that my son can be admitted to the top prize, and let us be a nobleman. ”

"Yes." Xu Run saw that his mother was happy, so he said: "Master Xia doesn't know who he offended, he was sued, and now he is in the prison of the Criminal Department. ”

Mrs. Xu was taken aback and asked, "Who said this?" For what? ”

Xu Run said casually: "It's a person I know, it's Master Xia's friend Zhang Zhongyu, and he doesn't understand it very clearly, it seems that the prostitute was taken away by the officials for drinking." ”

Mrs. Xu scolded angrily: "Make things!" He did something that didn't love his face. Anyway, he also recognized me as an aunt, let me ask you, don't you care about him in the house? ”

"I heard that he hid from the house to find a Jiupin, lived outside the city in the past few months, and changed his surname to Li, calling himself Li Cai, but everyone knows that he is Xia Qi." Xu Run wanted to laugh a little, but he couldn't hold back his laughter.

Mrs. Xu's face turned red with anger, and she dared to think of her unsuccessful mother's brother, and said angrily: "Okay, they are all bastards who are not angry." Your little uncle is also not at home every day, I don't know what to do outside, and I may not be serious when I think about it, and I can't talk about him. Xia Jue's matter, probably he knows the details. (To be continued......) R1292
