Seeing Xu He's nervousness, Xu Yong hurriedly said: "Master He, don't be alarmed, the eldest master is getting better and nothing is wrong!"
Xu He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Xu Song was a supporter of him, and he was also the pillar that allowed the Xu family to stand firm in the complex world.
Therefore, Xu Song's safety affects the hearts of every Xu family member, including Xu He of course.
However, when he saw Xu Yong's serious expression, he knew something had happened in Hailing, so he led Xu Yong into the backyard.
As soon as he arrived in the backyard, he personally brought a cup of tea to Xu Yong and asked, "Uncle Yong, what happened?"
Xu Yong said: "I don't know the details. The elder didn't tell me much. It's just that the house was suddenly surrounded by people last night, and then someone asked to see the elder. After the elder saw that person, he waited for the person to leave and surrounded us. The people from Xu Mansion also evacuated!"
"The great master will ask me to come to Yangzhou to look for you early this morning!"
Xu He frowned and said, "Who are those people?"
Xu Yong said: "I didn't see the people who met the eldest master, but the people surrounding the Xu family were all military personnel!"
"A member of the military?" Xu He's first reaction was that the salt farm incident had happened and the emperor was settling accounts after the fall.
But when I thought about it, it seemed wrong. Xu Song had already transferred the Xu family's part of the outline to the Shen family. Although there were still some tricks in it, for the sake of the money from the Lianghuai Salt Industry, the emperor would not take it lightly at this time. Move the Xu family.
Moreover, Xu Song's strategy is to make it clear that I don't want to get involved in making money. If you want to make money, don't mess with me. This definitely has no interests with all parties. How could I get into this kind of trouble?
But since Xu Song is recruiting, there must be something big going on.
After eating, he asked Juan'er to help him and Li Sikui pack their things, and prepared to go back to Hailing.
When Wu Decao saw this, he muttered for a long time, as if he wanted to follow, but he was a little embarrassed.
When Xu He saw this, he knew that he must have spent all his money. Once he left, he would have no place to make a living, so Xu He smiled and said, "Brother Yaochen, how about you go to Hailing with me for two days?"
When Wu Decao heard this, he was surprised and said: "Okay, okay, when we get to the place, please let me know what's going on, but please give me your orders!"
Li Sikui curled his lips and said: "We are already in my senior brother's hometown, why do we need you as a foreigner [Qi Chi]? If you want to have a meal, just say so!"
These words immediately made Wu Decao blush.
Seeing this, Xu He frowned and scolded: "Sikui, brother Yaochen is my friend, how can you say such a thing?"
When Li Sikui heard this, he turned his head away obviously unconvinced, but he didn't say much!
Xu He turned to the embarrassed Wu Decao and said, "Brother Yaochen, Tong Yanwuji, don't take it to heart!"
Wu Decao laughed at himself and said, "Liangsheng, it really makes you laugh!"
"Friends have the meaning of making money, brother Yaochen, don't worry about it!" Xu He comforted.
When he returned to his hometown this time, the waiter's boat was missing, so Xu He asked Ding Ze to rent three cars from a carriage and horse racing agency. In one of them, he and Li Sikui sat in one, and in the other, Xu Yong, Ding Ze and Wu Decao were seated. In the last car, considering that Juan'er was a woman who had not left the pavilion after all, she rode alone.
Ding Ze had never seen a master spend so much money on a servant. He insisted on letting Juan'er ride in their car, so that they would have to hire one less car.
Xu He shook his head and said: "Juan'er is Brother Ding's sister. I have never regarded you brothers and sisters as servants. Then Brother Ding's sister is my sister. There is no reason for my sister to ride in the same car with a man."
Xu He's words immediately touched Ding Ze's heart, but he was taciturn and did not express anything in words. He just liked Xu He even more in his heart and secretly vowed to protect the master's family.
As for Juan'er, her impression of Xu He is even better.
Xu He was well-educated and sensible. He would never be like other men. When he met her, he would like to hang his eyes on her. Instead, he was really polite to himself, not as polite as he would treat his servants.
This moment made Juaner wonder if Mr. Xu was interested in her.
But after observing several times, Juaner found that Xu He seemed to be very polite to people around him. This made her relieved, but she felt a little disappointed.
Although the land route from Yangzhou to Hailing is not far, the trouble is that there are several rivers in the middle, and the carriages need to be ferried across the rivers one by one, which makes the speed much slower.
It was not until the city gate was about to close in the evening that Xu He entered the city.
Just after entering the city, Xu He asked Ding Ze to escort Li Sikui to stay at Shisheng Street, while he followed Xu Yong to Fenghuang Dun.
Xu He was really surprised to see Xu Song again.
After all, Hou Desheng is a famous doctor in Rugao, and his uncle's condition seems to be getting better day by day.
Although I could barely get out of bed a while ago, I still needed help to move around.
When I met Xu Song this time, he was able to sit on a chair in the hall to meet him.
When Xu Song saw Xu He, he couldn't help but smile and asked, "How's it going? Are you still used to it in government studies?"
Xu He is now very relaxed in front of Xu Song: "Everything else is fine, except that he eats too poorly and has to press his belly to fall asleep at night!"
"Hahaha!" Xu Song said with a smile: "Then next time we go, I will ask Xu Yong to send some meat over there every once in a while!"
Xu He would naturally not agree to letting a lame veteran go through such trouble.
The two chatted for a while, and Xu Song told the reason why Xu He came back.
"Prince Zhang Yan came yesterday!"
"Who?" Xu He almost thought he heard wrongly!
Xu Song repeated it again.
"What is he here for?" Xu He asked.
Xu Song said calmly: "Go to Baijuchang Pavilion in Yancheng County, Huai'an Prefecture to worship the Xiaoling Mausoleum on behalf of the emperor!"
Xu He suddenly realized that Zhang Shicheng was from Baijuchangting, Taizhou, but in this time and space, Baijuchangting belonged to Yancheng County.
At this time, Yancheng was not an administrative division at the same level as Huai'an and Yangzhou. Yancheng was under the jurisdiction of Huai'an Prefecture. In later generations, Baiju Changting Pavilion was located in Baiju Town, Dafeng District, Yancheng City.
Zhang Shicheng was not buried in Jinling after his death. The mountain mausoleum was built by him in his hometown.
Xu Song said at this time: "In addition to going to worship Taizu, the prince actually has another mission, which is to see how I am doing!"
Xu He said in surprise: "Your Majesty still has this heart?"
In his opinion, Emperor Zhizheng was a completely selfish ghost. How could he think of an old minister who became an official?
Sure enough, Xu Song smiled slightly: "It's not just the emperor's intention to see my body!"
Xu He's face was full of questions. He didn't know what the prince was up to.
However, Xu Song's next words almost made Xu He, who was sitting on the chair, jump to his feet.
"The imperial court intends to reinstate me as Minister of Civil Affairs!"
"What?" Xu He was stunned.
Not to mention that Xu Song almost died a while ago, but as soon as his health got better, the court became interested in him.
Then he asked a crucial question: "Who does this mean?"
