Along the way, Xu Dai sat on a sedan and followed the Grand Master's sedan.
The task of accompanying the Grand Master fell on Xu He. He supported the sedan and introduced the scenery along the way to the Grand Master through the sedan window.
As soon as they left Xujiacun, the Grand Master asked: "A few days ago, I heard that there were bandits in Hailing that were disturbing the city. These bandits also broke into the Baoba Laboratory. Is this possible?"
Xu He couldn't help being shocked when he heard this.
A noble official like the Grand Master may have heard about the incident of the batch inspection office being breached by thieves, but to be able to tell such an accurate story about the small place Baoba, it seems that the other party made a special trip to inquire about it.
However, Xu He thought about it and realized that it was nothing. When the Grand Master came to a place, especially a place like Hailing that had just been attacked by thieves, he must check whether it was safe or not. It might be during this period that he learned about the batch of The laboratory is located in Baoba.
So he reported back: "Bao Dam is not far south of Xujia Village, but we are heading towards Hailing County and can no longer see it!"
The Grand Master in the sedan was unconvinced when he heard this.
Next, Xu He introduced Wanghai Tower and some of its allusions to the Grand Master. It was not difficult to talk like this along the way. Soon, the group arrived in front of the Xu Mansion in Fenghuang Dun.
At this time, the central gate of Xu Mansion had been opened long ago, and everyone in the Xu family lined up in two rows outside the courtyard to greet the Grand Master.
Xu Dai got off the sedan and came to the Grand Master's sedan, leading him into the mansion.
The Grand Master smiled and said, "This is a private visit, so there is no need to make such a big show of it."
After entering the Xu family, he first went to Xu Fanling to offer incense and pay homage. Unexpectedly, there was a teacher-student relationship between the two of them. The Grand Master worshiped very solemnly, which made a group of Xu family members around him wipe their eyes with excitement.
After paying homage to Xu Fan, the Grand Master went to Xu Song's residence, walked to the door, turned around, waved to Xu He in the courtyard, and went in first.
When Xu He entered, the Grand Master was sitting beside the couch, holding Xu Song's hand and choking with sobs: "Little Shi Gong, I didn't expect you to be so thin after not seeing me for such a long time. This is so embarrassing for an old friend!"
Xu Song was not as excited as other members of the Xu family. He was leaning on the bed and smiled weakly: "Uncle Yi, you have become much thinner and darker since the last time we said goodbye in Beijing!"
Only then did Xu He realize that the great master's name was Uncle Yi, presumably because he was the second in the family, but he didn't know what his real name was.
After sighing with emotion, the Grand Master pointed at Xu He and said: "Today I was studying Linhai Ling's official and social studies, and I didn't expect to meet a young man named Lang Tianzong."
Xu Song turned to look at Xu He. In fact, before the great master came, his subordinates had already reported everything to him about the clan studies. He was very satisfied with Xu He's performance and nodded: "The great master is talking about Xu He, right? The young man doesn't know how to restrain himself, but his uncle is laughing at him!"
Unexpectedly, the great master shook his head: "I assert that as long as this son works hard, it is a sure thing that he will be famous in the apricot list. I would like to congratulate Mr. Xiaoshi on adding a Jinshi to his family!"
Xu Song smiled faintly when he heard this and did not answer.
The pleasantries were exchanged, Xu He was dragged to find a topic, and the topic was over. However, seeing that Xu Song always looked indifferent, the great master didn't know how to speak.
Fortunately, although he has full authority in front of outsiders and appears to be unapproachable, he has been in official circles for a long time and is still good at handling such embarrassing situations and raising topics.
He smiled and said: "After I received God's grace and came to the capital to take up the post of Xuedao, my teacher Yong Xingong specially asked me to come to Hailing to greet Xiao Shigong."
Xu He immediately became energetic after hearing this.
He searched in his mind who this Yongxin Gong was. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly remembered that Xie Kun once said when commenting on the figures in the court that Xia Yangqiu, the second assistant to the cabinet, was from Yongxin County, Ji'an Prefecture, Jiangxi Province.
In official circles, it is customary to refer to high-ranking officials by their place of origin.
Based on what the great master just said, he is also from Ji'an Prefecture in Jiangxi Province. When he was young, he once received the favor of Xu Fan from Jiangxi Province.
In this way, this great master is not only a student of Xia Yangqiu, but also a fellow countryman, so he must be Xia Yangqiu's person.
"Yongxin Gong also asked me to ask Xiao Shi Gong, what do you think about the burning of the roots of the Baoba batch inspection office?"
When Xu He heard this, his heart moved. This time, Xia Yangqiu, the assistant, still clung to Yinggen. He should be thinking of taking the opportunity to attack the King of Qi and the first assistant and his party.
But... what Xu He couldn't figure out was that his uncle Xu Song and his chief minister Qin Yan were in the same year, and they had been exchanging letters over the years. They seemed to have a good relationship. The other party was obviously opposed to Qin Yan, so why did he find Xu Song? Song here.
Also, what does the other party want from the Xu family?
When Xu Song heard this, he shook his head and said immediately: "I have been an official for a long time, and I spend most of my time on the sickbed. I am not very clear about the things outside. Uncle Yi, what are you talking about?"
The Grand Master was anxious when he heard the words, but considering Xu He's presence, he immediately held back the words.
Seeing this, Xu He cupped his hands and said, "Uncle, Grand Master, I'll be waiting outside!"
The Grand Master nodded, seemingly satisfied with Xu He's knowledge.
When Xu He walked into the courtyard, Xu Luan saw him coming out and sneered: "It's just a dog that clings to my clan!"
Xu He originally didn't want to argue with such a petty [woman], but he dared to curse such words. Xu He was no longer prepared to coddle him. In front of all the members of the Xu family, he suddenly made a move and said, "Pa!" He slapped Xu Luan on the face.
Xu Luan was just a talker. How could he have expected that Xu He would suddenly take action? He subconsciously turned to look for his father.
But Xu Dai was taking care of him outside the hospital at this time and did not come in.
"Xu He, you, you, your little prince dare to hit me?" Xu Luan covered his face and his eyes were red.
Xu He looked at him with disdain: "Ignore you, and you're getting into trouble with your nose? What's wrong with the little eldest son? Is this the reason why you teamed up with Zhou Tianxiong to harm me?"
"Is this why you make things difficult for me everywhere you see me?"
"Is this the reason why you are embarrassed in front of the Grand Master today?"
"Who do you think you are?"
"If you weren't born in Da Zong, you wouldn't even be qualified to carry my shoes, do you understand?"
After Xu He spoke in a low voice, everyone in the Xu clan in the courtyard was stunned.
But everyone was concerned about the great master who was talking to Xu Song in the room, so no one spoke up.
Xu Luan finally recovered from the shock. Just when he was about to fight with Xu He, an elder in the clan said coldly: "If you make trouble again, I will punish you to kneel in the ancestral hall and you will not be allowed to come out for ten days!" "
The elders of the clan are highly respected and senior people in the family. Although their status outside is not as prestigious as that of the Xu brothers, within the clan, their words are still useful.
Sure enough, Xu Luan did not dare to move after hearing this, but the eyes he looked at Xu He were filled with resentment.
Just when tensions were rising in the courtyard, a burst of noise suddenly came from outside the courtyard. After a while, Xu Dai led another person into the Xu Mansion.
When he came to the court, he didn't know that his son had been beaten by Xu He, and there was a look of excitement and pride on his face: "Master Fan, this is a member of our Xu family."
Then he turned to look at Xu He and others: "This is Master Fan Shouji, the right minister of the Nanjing Ministry of War."
"Nanjing Military Department..." Xu He was surprised when he heard this.
It's really weird today.
A great master came and a minister from the Ministry of War arrived. Has the feng shui of Hailing County changed for the better, or has the feng shui of the Xu Mansion changed for the better?
