Because he couldn't find Mr. Sheng, there was a cold wind in winter, and Xu Yu, who had been out for most of the day, decided to ride back.

On the way, I met Wen'er, who was galloping on a horse, and saw Xu Yu at a glance, and jumped off the horse skillfully.

Xu Yu also grabbed the reins and said, "I didn't see anyone, maybe I went somewhere else." ”

Wen'er said: "The little one went to look for it." ”

"Well, it's not early, I'll go back first." Xu Yu patted the horse and returned home.

Wen'er came over here, and also entered the Wanghu Tower, and the people were not in the building. As soon as I came out, I saw that it was not Mr. Sheng sitting in the pavilion, the other two were all famous scribes, the person sitting next to him was surnamed Xu Minghui, and the person sitting on his back was named Zhu Hao.

Wen'er ran over and said, "Just now, the second master of the Xu Mansion came here to look for you, saying that he couldn't find it, and he will go back now." ”

It turned out that Xu Hui, who had a good family, gave his white fox cloak to Mr. Sheng to wear, so Xu Yu couldn't recognize it, and the three of them were shocked and said: "It turns out that it is the second son of the Xu family, no wonder he looks handsome and extraordinary, just like Xu Gong, but unfortunately he didn't recognize him in person, so I couldn't talk to him properly." ”

Xu Hui, who is keen on fame and fortune, immediately made a decision and said: "This second son is amazing, I have read his poems, I really want people to worship his talent, the opportunity is rare, why don't we chase after it?" ”

Mr. Sheng, who had already been angry, saw that people took the initiative to find him, and he echoed and said yes, and immediately ordered the scholar to go to the back to lead the donkey, and the three of them got on the mule and horse, Wen'er led the way in front of the head, and the youngest Zhu Hao pressed the tail, and the group desperately chased over.

Hearing a crisp bell ringing in front of them from a distance, the four of them were overjoyed, Wen'er whipped a whip fiercely, and quickly caught up with Xu Yu, who was not fast. shouted: "People are coming, please slow down." ”

Xu Yu restrained the white horse in response, looked back, and rushed over a mule and two donkeys with a sigh, as the distance between the two sides approached. Xu Yu found out that it was the three just now, and both sides jumped off the horse at the same time, looked at each other, and laughed non-stop.

"Let me identify who is Mr. Sheng first." Xu Yu looked at it with a smile, stepped forward and grabbed Mr. Sheng's hand, "You must be an immortal." ”

Everyone laughed. Xu Yu asked kindly, "May I ask the names of the two gentlemen?" ”

"Childe is polite." Xu Huo preemptively said: "In Xia Xu Hui, the character Yuanyu, a native of Wu County, Suzhou, is now living in Jinling and preparing for the imperial examination. ”

"I've seen Brother Yuanyu." Xu Yu said with a smile.

Mr. Sheng pointed to congratulate Hao. helped to introduce: "This is Changzhou Zhu Weiqing, one word and one hao, missing the three points of water of Lord Lingzun." also came to Beijing to study, and the two of them are not like Sheng, who is shallow in learning, and is idle and wild. ”

"I've seen Brother Weiqing, the younger brother is young and frivolous, and he was rude before, and I hope the three brothers will tolerate it." Xu Yu gave up. Slightly bowed.

Needless to say, Xu Yu's family background, he is also a first-class Qingyi, and Zhu Hao is familiar with him at first sight. proposed to invite Xu Yu to his house to sit, and Mr. Sheng and Xu Hui also wanted Xu Yu to be guests at their home.

Xu Yu said with a smile: "It's better to go to the house and sit down today." ”

It would be great to be able to go to the famous British Mansion to see it, and now the four of them are on their own horses. Soon they arrived at the gate, and the butler escorted them out.

Xu Yu dismounted and invited the three of them into the gate. Through the hall, please sit in the East Flower Hall of the second hall.

The essence of the Xu Mansion is in the inner house, and of course, the outer house is already magnificent in the eyes of outsiders. But there's nothing special, it's just a decent arrangement.

Xu Yu bluntly said that no one would come. Please don't be restrained, and the three of them are all famous talents in Jiangnan, so they sat down politely.

"Please sit down, and I'll go in and take a walk." Xu Yu said apologetically.

As a junior, you must first greet your elders when you go home, which is reasonable, so no one minds. When Xu Yu came out of the inner house, it was already dark, and the entire Donghua Hall was lit up, and it was brightly lit inside and out.

Xu Yu apologized to the three of them first, and Xu Huo smiled: "The son was detained instead." ”

"Yes." Xu Yu was no longer humble, and resumed talking about leisure as usual. After a while, Xu Yu took Mr. Sheng's hand and asked him about Gusu, which suddenly touched the sadness of others, and Mr. Sheng was speechless with tears in his eyes and trembling lips.

Xu Yu felt so remorseful in his heart, he shouldn't have asked this as soon as they met, and said softly: "If you want to be sad, I won't say it." ”

Mr. Sheng hurriedly wiped away his tears and asked him, but Xu Yu shook his head and refused to speak. Mr. Sheng begged bitterly: "You sue me, I don't cry." ”

Xu Yu then muttered: "It stands to reason that I should write back to you, because I don't know anything about this, and I don't know how to put pen to paper." Or my cousin knows a little bit, saying that the young lady you are looking for is named Yinglian. ”

"Exactly, exactly." Mr. Sheng's spirit was shocked, "What did Sister Ling say?" ”

Xu Hui and Zhu Hao more or less knew Mr. Sheng's thoughts, and listened with bated breath, and saw Xu Yu say: "My cousin has a sister who changes the score and lives in Gusu, and Miss Ying Lian is a family. My cousin said that she should know the true whereabouts of the shadow girl, and that the smoke and water of the five lakes buried Xi Shi are not accurate. Who is the gentleman listening to? ”

Mr. Sheng sighed: "That's what her people said, how do you know if you can't do it accurately?" ”

"Miss Ying Lian and my cousin are also good sisters, but because they have been separated from each other for a long time, they are inevitably a little unfamiliar with each other, but my cousin and Aunt Gu, who changed scores, often correspond, and their friendship is still the same."

Xu Yu sorted out the conversation with Zhu Mingzhi and continued: "Recently, I have frequently communicated with Gusu, and my cousin has also combed through the past letters, and found that after the shadow girl left, she wrote to inform me that my cousin had come to Jinling and walked around Qinhuai and Mochou Lake alone. According to the calculation of the time at that time, it can be seen that the rumors in Gusu that the Yangtze River capsized were false. ”

Coincidentally, the mouths of the three literati grew bigger and bigger, and Mr. Sheng especially trembled with excitement.

Xu Yu continued: "I have already sent someone to Gusu to investigate, there should be news back in the next few days, where is the person now, I still need to wait patiently for a while." Even my cousin also wrote to her cousin, and I haven't seen a reply at this moment, about my cousin's cousin is not at home, who made them have a landscape fetish? Traveling around all year round, going for a year or two, and not going home for a month or two is hard to say. Anyway, based on this inference, my cousin Miss Ying also has this habit, and maybe it is difficult to protect herself overseas, so don't be sad, sir. ”

This remark, Mr. Sheng didn't believe it, Ying Lian had traveled to many places, and he was sad and attached his love to the mountains and rivers, and he was hidden in the red dust of the world, so he was convinced of this.

Shocked to hear that his cousin was still alive, Mr. Sheng, who was very pleased, was naturally ecstatic, so he begged Xu Yu to mobilize the forces of the Xu family to search at home and abroad.

Xu Yu smiled bitterly: "I can only say that I will do my best, but it will be difficult to obey the order when I alarm the government." ”

"That's, that's." Mr. Sheng was a little impressed.

Xu Youzhen came over and teased: "Don't blame the second son now, right?" ”

Suddenly, Mr. Sheng blushed, Xu Yu smiled when he saw this, and said, "It's human nature for Mr. Yu Xian to blame me, why don't I blame him?" When we meet today, we feel so close, which shows that we have made friends and have a bit of a fate in our previous lives. ”

Xu Huo laughed when he heard this, and said, "That's a good thing. The three of us, he didn't recognize Zhu Weiqing at the beginning, Zhu Weiqing didn't recognize me, and I didn't recognize him, everyone was just famous for each other. I don't know how to gather in Jinling, surrender to each other, play together every day, and look for each other if you don't see each other for a day, why not find anyone who can't find anyone? I went to him, he came to me, everyone came to look for him, and when they met, they didn't have a serious face, they either quarreled or complained about their distress, which made everyone unhappy, and then they shed tears for a while, and they went home and got sick. ”

Zhu Hao and Mr. Sheng both laughed, Xu Yu also laughed, and said that Mr. Sheng's talent is needless to say, and the one who can call him a confidant must not be a layman, this short and sturdy Xu Huo speaks very funny, I thought he didn't like to talk much.

However, Zhu Hao, who had been fighting with Mr. Sheng before, basically didn't open his mouth after he came, and he seemed a little restrained, so it was good to be familiar with it. I didn't expect to meet three people who fit my spleen and stomach today, and there is nothing happier than this.

In the study, Xu Hao, who had not long returned to Beijing, was writing, and heard Zhang Shou say that his son had three friends, one was Sheng Yuxian, one was called Zhu Hao, and the other was Xu Hui.

Hearing Xu Hui's name, Xu Hao raised his head and said, "It shouldn't be from the same clan, right?" However, with the same surname as Xu, the ancestors are all a family. ”

"Yes." Zhang Shou secretly said in his heart that the old man is really enough to spoil the second son, if this Xu Hui can step into the official career, the master who loves the house and Wu will never be stingy to wish him a hand.

Xu Hao never expected that this Xu Hui was the famous cabinet chief assistant Xu Youzhen in the history of the Ming Dynasty, the key figure in planning the restoration of Ming Yingzong, and the key person who falsely accused and killed Yu Qian.

Zhu Hao is not an ordinary person, but the grandfather of Zhu Zhishan, one of the four famous talents in Jiangnan, as for why Zhu Hao and Xu Youzhen intersected when they were young, it is definitely not made up by Xiaochai, because Xu Youzhen is Zhu Zhishan's maternal grandfather.

Human nature is the most complex, especially the famous people in history, and there is no need to go into details. In short, everyone's thoughts are changing all the time in the process of growing up, and they are full of unpredictable decisions.

Xu Youzhen can't simply say that he is a bad person, of course, he is indeed a villain in the process of fighting for power.

Zhu Hao is a kind person who does his duty, he can't find any shortcomings in doing things in a proper way, he was a little wild when he was young, he was very shrewd when he was an official, and he read sage books all his life.

In contrast, Xu Hui is very smart, the Four Books and Five Classics are not a problem, all astronomy, geography, the art of war, water conservancy, yin and yang, physiognomy, all study, is a knowledgeable and talented person, this is the capital that he was able to sit in the first assistant later.

As for the decent Zhu Hao, he is only tired of participating in politics in Shanxi, and it can be said that character determines fate, and it is impossible for non-human elites to enter the center. (To be continued) R466
