For the first time, Xu He came into contact with the dark side of this country head-on.
When he heard Xie Kun talk about these things before, he thought the things were far away, but as he stayed in this world for longer and longer, everything that happened here refreshed his understanding of the world.
The thieves broke into the county seat, killed officials and robbed silver; they harassed Hailing again and burned the roots. The instigator of all this turned out to be the fourth-rank Yangzhou magistrate appointed by the imperial court.
Zhou Yi is dead, Ge Youli is dead, now there is peace, but the big shots in the court are like sharks smelling blood, swarming in, and suddenly appear in this small Hailing County. Senior officials such as the Minister of War and Ti Xuedao, and the people standing behind them were even more terrifying. They were directly the cabinet ministers and the prince.
"No wonder my uncle is cynical. For such a court, it is wise to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests and swim under the springs. It is wise to protect yourself!" Xu He sighed.
At this time, Hou Desheng walked in from the door and was obviously stunned when he saw Xu He in Xu Song's room. Then he realized that they were all Xu family members, and it was not unusual for Xu He to appear here.
"Master Doctor Hou!" Xu He bowed and said: "Master Doctor Hou, Master Xinglin, please be sure to cure my uncle!"
Unexpectedly, Hou Desheng, who had been smiling just now, suddenly turned bitter: "If your uncle can rest like your aunt, I can't guarantee that he will recover, but at least he won't be in danger of his life!"
The implication of this sentence is that your uncle is too easy to worry about, which is not good for treatment.
Xu Song sighed and said with a smile: "From today on, I will move to a clean place and no longer interfere with trivial matters. Don't blame Doctor Hou!"
"Little Shigong!" Hou Desheng said with a smile, "We have an agreement!"
Xu Song smiled and said: "It's a deal!"
Xu He knew in his heart that his uncle wanted to avoid the prince and the king of Qi, so he continued to treat him and avoid having too close contact with them. In this way, although both sides were not in good terms, it was better than the team behind him, who completely offended the other side.
Of course, the other party would not set Xu Song as a political enemy just because he thanked the guests behind closed doors, but Xu He was in dire straits. Although Yang Yinqiu had nothing to do with Xu Song, but the Xu family was so unwilling to give him face, he would definitely take advantage of it. Taking advantage of the opportunity to take the exam, he beat up the young students in the Xu family who were taking the exam, thereby forcing Xu Song's team.
This is why Xu Song called Xu He into the room and gave special instructions, so as not to cause Xu He to become alienated from his family.
Xu He naturally knew the priorities of the matter. He was still young anyway, and the worst he could do was not take the exam. Thinking of this, he quickly brought a stool and put it on the bedside, and asked Hou Desheng to diagnose Xu Song's pulse.
When Xu Song saw this, he thought to himself: "This son knows the general situation and is a person who can be entrusted with family matters!"
Just when Hou Desheng's fingers touched Xu Song's wrist, suddenly there was a noise in the courtyard. After a while, Xu Luan rushed into Xu Song's room with red eyes like an angry cow.
As soon as he entered the door, he threw Xu Dai's hand away and said: "Uncle, this little eldest son Xu He just slapped me in front of so many people, please ask uncle to expel him from the Xu family!"
Xu Dai was furious behind him: "Luan'er, your uncle is ill. Don't disturb him with such trivial matters!"
"Little things?" Xu Luan laughed nervously: "Dad, do you think I'm making trouble unreasonably?"
"Damn it! Your behavior is like that of a girl who quarreled with her boyfriend!" Seeing his behavior, Xu He thought of a grown man crying softly under Zhou Tianxiong's crotch, vomit!
Xu Song had long known from his servants what Xu Luan had learned in the clan today, and seeing his hysterical look, he was immediately extremely disappointed with this second brother's treasure.
He didn't say a word, just lay on the bed and looked at Xu Luan coldly.
"Uncle!" Xu Luan still wanted to speak.
Unexpectedly, Xu Dai, who knew his eldest brother best, had already seen his serious disgust. He was cruel and slapped his son on the face again: "I don't know the general things. Your uncle's health is more important than your suffering. ?”
Look, Xu Dai is a former official, and his words are full of routines.
What does "suffering some grievance" mean?
Xu He cursed in his heart: "Isn't this all done by your daughter? What does it have to do with me?"
Xu Luan received another slap in the face, and it was slapped by his father who always loved him. He stood blankly on the spot, with tears gathering in his eyes. After a while, the teardrops fell like a broken bead curtain.
"Dad, you hit me, you hit me? My son has never been beaten by you since he was a child, and you beat him for an outsider?" Xu Luan complained hoarsely, "You also said that I don't know the general situation. This Xu He just showed up in front of so many people. I slapped me for the sake of the Xu family, for the sake of you and my uncle, and I didn’t want to embarrass myself in front of the great master, so my son endured it, you know? You still said that I don’t know the general situation! "
Suddenly, there was a sound of beating the bed, and the veins on Xu Song's temples on the bed jumped suddenly. He was panting angrily. He pointed at Xu Luan in the room and said: "Get out of here, get out of here, the ancestors of the Xu family." Your face has been completely humiliated, don’t think that I don’t know about your scandals, if you become the second generation ancestor in the family again, believe it or not, I will kick you out of the Xu family!”
Xu Luan was dumbfounded, Xu Dai was dumbfounded, and Xu He and Hou Desheng on the side were also dumbfounded.
Hou Desheng and Xu Dai didn't know what scandal Xu Song was talking about.
Xu He didn't expect Xu Song to know everything.
When Xu Luan heard this, he froze on the spot, and there was no longer the crazy look on his face.
Xu Dai turned to look at his son and asked in surprise: "What's going on? Luan'er, what is the scandal your uncle said? What on earth did you do?"
Xu Luan was silent, just hanging his head and crying.
Seeing that he couldn't get an answer from his son, Xu Dai turned to look at his elder brother: "Brother, what happened to Luan'er?"
Although Xu Song rarely got angry, he estimated that Hou Desheng's presence saved Xu Luan and the Xu family a lot of respect, so he closed his eyes and did not answer his brother's question.
Xu Dai was crazy with anxiety. As a father, he didn't know what happened to his son.
He shook Xu Luan's body and shouted: "Tell me, tell me! What did you do?"
Xu Luan gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Son, my son is in love with Zhou Tianxiong, the son of Zhou Yi, the former governor of Yangzhou!"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Dai had not yet recovered, and murmured: "Zhou Yi's son? Is he getting better?"
Suddenly a thunder exploded in his ears, his son actually had the habit of Longyang!
My son actually has the habit of Longyang...
Xu Dai is crazy. His eldest son is in prison in Nanjing. The one he loves most is Xu Luan, who has been by his side since childhood, and his expectations for Xu Luan even exceed his expectations for his eldest brother.
Unexpectedly, I never expected that my youngest son would end up with a man...
Thinking of this, he blushed and looked at Hou Desheng and Xu He who were silent in the room. He was filled with anger and used the greatest strength in his life to slap Xu Luan in the face, knocking Xu Luan back two or three times. step.
Then he cursed hysterically: "Get out of here, I don't have a traitor like you!"
Xu Luan was slapped one after another, and it was in front of Xu He, a small character that he looked down upon. This made him even more embarrassed than if he had revealed his Longyang habit.
He covered his face and looked at everyone present, including his uncle and father who used to love him, and the doctor who was a stranger, as if their eyes were full of disgust.
By the way, there is also Xu He. He is calm on the outside, but he must be laughing at me on the inside.
"Laugh, laugh, sooner or later I will let you know that I am the future of the Xu family, and I am the one who can make the Xu family dominate again!" Thinking of this, Xu Luan gave everyone in the room a hard look, He turned around and ran out.
