In the Soahua Pavilion outside Jinling City, Xu Ye, Xu Yu and others saw off here, and several boats were parked on the dock in the distance.

There were many people to see off, mainly officials at all levels, but also some wealthy families, and ordinary people had other places to see them off.

Because there were too many acquaintances, the brothers kept going around, and there was an atmosphere of parting in the air.

Ancient people attached great importance to long-distance travel, the inconvenience of transportation, the underdevelopment of medicine, and the slow blocking of letters, often making relatives and friends who traveled are likely to be separated from each other.

It just so happened that Lu Zhen also chose to take up his post on this day, and looked coldly at Sun Yuegong, Xing Kuan and a group of people, and secretly hated it in his heart. The people in the officialdom are far less likely to see him off than there, and even if the two sides intersect, the officials stay there for far more time than here.

Not to mention the jealous Lu Zhen took the boat away, Lu Xiong held back the fire in his belly, staring at Gui Xian, who said goodbye to Xing Kuan with tears, his eyes kept rolling.

My parents and family left together, and because I didn't know when I would be able to return to Beijing, I sold the house. Lu Xiong and his wife Long chose to stay in the capital to live at their father-in-law's house, and hurriedly said goodbye to the Xu brothers and others, he rode a horse by himself, and his wife sat in a sedan chair and went straight to the Yamen of Dali Temple.

Father-in-law Long Ding is the right Shaoqing of Dali Temple in the fourth grade, ranked third, and learned that his son-in-law had arrived, because he only had one daughter, he treated Lu Xiong better than his own son.

Set up wine for his son-in-law to catch the wind, Long Ding comforted his son-in-law and said that although it will never be used, it is actually just a will of the saint, who can guess what will happen in the future? Needless to say, the court will eventually sell your father-in-law a face, and your father will be reinstated if he is not allowed to do so, with our two elders here, it is not impossible for your son to inherit his father's business.

Lu Xiong was submissive on his face, and he was worried about revenge. The next day, he took a few of his family members out of the yamen. Come all the way to the Qinhuai River, and inquire about Guixian's residence along the way.

Someone said: "It's a pity that Guixian doesn't accept guests now, and a few of them have sworn to guard a few people." Only a new Qing man named Yue Tang did not dare to call himself an immortal. It is said that this woman's appearance is no less than that of the Guixian sisters, and they all live in Taoyedu. ”

"Thanks, look at the reward."

Lu Xiong decided to go to the moon orange first, throw stones and ask for directions, so he took a small boat to Taoyedu, and there were rows of water pavilions and courtyards belonging to the Jiao Si Fang in front of him.

The servant stepped forward to ask where Yue Tang lived and entered the door. The servant who had been waiting for him led him into the room and sat down and brought him tea.

Out of it came a young girl with drooping hair, about eleven or twelve years old, who said hello and asked for her surname. Lu Xiong deliberately said: "I am the son-in-law of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and I came here. ”

The girl hurriedly said hello, Lu Xiong asked what your name was, and the girl said that her name was Yue'er, and she was Yuetang's sister. The appearance is clear and delicate.

Lu Xiong asked, "Where is the Yuetangi girl?" ”

Yue'er replied: "Sister Guixian next door invited her to go, and she won't come back until after dinner." ”

"Then I'll go for a walk too." Lu Xiong stood up.

Yue'er said: "No one is leaving over there now, the young master must see my sister, I will ask someone to pick her up." ”

"That's not necessary." Lu Xiong took Xing Kuan and left Beijing. Xu Ye and the others would not come here when they were idle, and said with a fearless smile: "I have heard the name of Sister Guixian for a long time, and it is rare that your sister is also over there, so it is better for me to teach it." What not to leave. It's just a cover for people's eyes and ears, and it's just a matter of raising your own value. ”

Yue'er hurriedly stepped forward to stop and said, "Childe." I really can't go. If his family closes you, both sides will say that my family is not the same. ”

Lu Xiong said unhappily: "Fart!" Left and right a prostitute, everyone in the world goes, what does it mean not to leave? You can't say this unless you are good. ”

didn't care about Yue'er, at that moment he walked out with his family, making Yue'er follow behind, and said repeatedly: "The slave family took my sister back first, which shows that it's not too late to go over." ”

Lu Xiong turned a blind eye, came out without looking back, turned a corner and arrived, saw that the door was closed, and stepped forward to bang on the door.

A woman opened the door and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"I'm looking for a moon orange." Lu Xiong broke in directly, and the woman hurriedly said, "Hey, hey! You son is so rude, why did you break in? ”

Lu Xiong walked quickly to the courtyard, and saw four or five women talking in the pavilion, and he stepped forward with a smile on his face and said, "Xiaosheng, how fortunate is it, I can see Zhuqing today, and I hope that my sisters will sit down." ”

Gui Xian suddenly saw a few guests coming, and he was about to avoid it when he got up, but the sister named Narcissus had a bad temper, and suddenly said: "The people outside don't care about anything, why don't outsiders stop him when they break in?" Where did the daredevils come from, the family members are here, they don't know how to advance or retreat, and they don't want to drive him out? ”

A few little guys ran over, grabbed Lu Xiong's sleeve and pushed him out, and shouted: "You are probably a madman, do you know that all the people who live here are the outer rooms of the imperial court?" Calling the people and places in the sect is to be done as a daylight, so hurry up and get out. ”

Originally, Lu Xiong had an old grudge, but at this moment, seeing that they didn't put themselves in their eyes, he couldn't help but smoke, and gave the little guy in front of him a mouthful, pointed at Gui Xian and others and scolded: "Damn prostitute, who doesn't know what you do?" Young master, I'm happy to visit, and it's considered decent, but you dare to contradict it? It's just relying on the power of some people, and I don't believe in this evil. ”

As he spoke, he was about to rush up and beat the girls, but fortunately, a few little guys hugged him to death, and Gui Xian and the others were so frightened that they all ran into the room.

The furious Lu Xiong scolded endlessly, instructed the family to smash the courtyard and the house, and even beat the old bustard who ran out and scolded him so badly that his nose and face were swollen.

Lu Xiong stepped on the old bustard's face, pointed at her and threatened: "Old shrew, you are careful, this matter is not over, and I still ask you to learn my methods." After speaking, he took the family with great strides.

The chickens and dogs jumped one after another to help the bustard, Gui Xian and the others came out cautiously, and the surrounding neighbors and the priest also rushed to hear the news.

The old bustard's face was swollen like a pig's head, and he said angrily: "Where did the bastard Wang Ba come from, indiscriminately hurting people, I will definitely get out of this evil breath." ”

The big guy hurriedly asked the reason, Yue'er explained in a frightened heart, and said: "Mother Liu, you are a veteran, you shouldn't be so tough, we pay attention to coaxing people to die in this business, he came here, how can he just leave?" Why don't you say a few perfunctory words and ask a girl to accompany you casually. Wouldn't it be okay to send the plague god out of the door? If you are worried that he will come back next time, some will treat him with soft means, so why bother to provoke others. ”

Neighbor Wang Laobuar also said: "The girl said that she is the son-in-law of Lord Long of Dali Temple, it is not easy to find your family's bad luck?" There will be trouble in the door in about three or five days, so according to me, let's get out and avoid the limelight. ”

In this way, you say a word to me, and the old bustard is afraid, after all, the most relied on backer is not in Beijing, as for Xu Yu and other nobles, I am afraid that I can't even enter the gate when I go for help, and I regret it at the moment. These days, the tail is about to rise to the sky.

The old bustard lost his temper, Guixian Narcissus and the others were scared when they thought about it, and they didn't want to blame anyone, they looked at each other and didn't dare to speak, everyone had a ghost in their hearts.

Seeing that the others were fine, they dispersed, and Yueju led Wu'er home as well. The old bustard asked someone to move the broken objects aside, and while sending someone to Dali Temple to inquire about the news, he asked Guixian to write a letter. She remembered who to turn to.

took the car to the countryside, happened to be at home, and knew that Xing Kuan entrusted Gui Xian to his young master when he left, and he didn't say a word at the moment. Pat your chest and promise to send it in.

At the same time, Xu Yu was chatting with Zhu Mingzhi's sister in Nuanxiangwu, and the little girl outside the window shouted, "Please second master." ”

Chunyan asked, "Who invited?" ”

Ai'er came in and said, "Sister Yingchun sent someone to invite her, saying that she would go to the room to call the second master." ”

"I'm going to ask what's going on." Xu Yu stood up. Zhu Mingzhi didn't say anything, and when Xu Yu walked into the courtyard, he suddenly said through the window, "You come back." ”

"What's wrong?" Xu Yu asked.

Zhu Mingzhi said: "You haven't combed your hair today. Come on in. ”

Xu Yu smiled: "You all annoy me one by one, who is willing to comb it for me?" ”

"You're saying those snarky things again." Zhu Mingzhi was angry and funny, "Then you can go whatever you want." ”

Xu Yu turned around with a smile, leaned over to Zhu Mingzhi's side and said with a smile: "Good sister, you and I can comb your braids, I won't talk about this anymore." ”

Zhu Mingzhi only ignored it at first, and said after a while: "It's really what I owe you in my previous life, and I don't have to say it, Chunyan, you broke up with him, I'll comb it." ”

Zhu Mingmei, the nine-year-old princess of Zhending, smiled, innocent, looked at her sister, looked at Xu Yu, and always felt that there seemed to be something more between her brothers and sisters.

Chunyan didn't hear it, Xu Yu had to ask her to break up his hair for him, and Chunyan was satisfied with it. Then Xu Yu walked to Zhu Mingzhi's side, turned his back on his face, and said good things in his mouth.

The princess picked up the ivory comb, struck him lightly on the neck, and pouted, "You are really my grandfather." I'm going to get this out, and I'm really shameless. ”

Xu Yu smiled: "What is there between my sister and brother?" Doesn't the princess eat the fireworks of the world? Don't have a close cousin? The common people thought that the princess had a straight face all day long, and she did not smile in everything, just like the Bodhisattva offered in the temple, which was really ridiculous. ”

"Humph! That didn't give the princess a braided hair to her brother's brother. Zhu Mingzhi glanced at it, seriously and slowly combed his hair, first rooted it with gold thread, then divided it into three strands, made a few turns, and added a pink umbrella thread, hit the ends of the hair, flipped the umbrella thread, and made a simple lotus dreadlock, then put it down and said: "Okay." ”

Xu Yu looked in the mirror, was very satisfied, and thanked him. Zhu Mingzhi asked, "Have you eaten a snack?" ”

Xu Yu smiled: "I haven't been hungry for a long time, but I forgot." ”

Zhu Mingzhi immediately asked Chunyan to bring the bird's nest porridge, Chunyan came back with three bowls, and the three of them ate together. Seeing that Xu Yu was still sitting and not leaving, Zhu Mingzhi said: "It's been a while, you go first, and I'll come to greet my wife in a while." ”

So Xu Yu went out of the warm incense dock by himself, took a shortcut, and went to the West Courtyard first, and asked Xu Ye and his wife to say goodbye, not wanting Xu Ye to go to work and not come back, Ripple and Ye Qin also went to Huchun Hall to ask Mu Ningxue for peace.

Xu Yujing came to Jieshoutang, but was blocked by Lian'er in the inner house hanging flower door, and told the reason. Xu Yu frowned and said, "I know, you go and comfort me first, and we will discuss it carefully in the evening." ”

Lian'er was ordered to leave, Xu Yu took it for granted that no matter who it was, it was impossible to make trouble again, so he went to Jieshoutang and entered the door, and saw a group of deacons standing on the verandah, like there was something.

When the big guy saw him come in, he shouted: "Second master." "It's kind of a greeting.

Xu Yu asked, "What's the matter?" ”

One of Xiao's companions, Zhang Shou's first reply: "Mrs. is going out." ”

"Oh." Xu Yu is not very familiar with the older generation, only knows that the other party was not in the house before, and in the past ten years, he somehow moved his family to defect, and Zhang Shou soon became a housekeeper.

Today's Xu Jiaguang has seven or eight housekeepers, and Zhang Shou and his family are specially responsible for running errands for the Xiao family.

Xu Yu walked around the verandah and saw seven or eight big girls standing under the canopy outside the main house, one was Xianglian next to Xu Xiangyue in Xifu, and the other two were Ruilan and Qiu Ping, the eldest sister Xu Yunsu.

Those are the third sister Xu Yunning's Xiaotao, Xiaozhu, Xiaohong, and Xiaocui, and those are the second sister Xu Yunyu's fourth son, Pei'er, Qing'er, and Xi'er.

When the maids saw Xu Yu coming in, they all greeted him with a smile, and they were all delicate and delicate, and almost none of them looked ugly.

Xu Yu responded with a smile, walked directly into the middle hall, and saw that his sisters and sisters were there, except for Xiangyue and Bing Lan, the seven or eight-year-old girl of Qingyishui was sitting on the side in a proper manner.

Xu Yu first greeted the Xiao family, and then said hello to the sisters.

Xiao called him to his side, hugged him, and complained: "You only came here, what are you busy with?" ”

Xu Yu smiled and asked, "Where is my wife?" I'll go too. ”

Xiao Shi said: "Good boy, you can't go today, you have to do your classwork." ”

Xu Yu said: "No matter where it goes, grandmother, tell the child to listen, if it's not a good place, I won't go." ”

"This kid." Xiao touched the face of his baby grandson and said with a smile: "Today is the birthday of the old lady of the Zhu family, I didn't go, but your sister Xiangyue said that she was going to visit her sisters and sisters, so I went with her to have a good time, and also led your sisters to meet the parents."
