Although the elders are kind, they don't know how to get close to them.
With the holy purpose, Rui Tuxian believed that Xia Chengxuan was his good son-in-law, and he naturally regarded him as one of his family members. However, at this time, the two of them were not yet consummated, and the public was more concerned with etiquette than private. He had been growing up in an official's family since he was a child, and had always respected the etiquette, and now he did not dare to abolish the public for private purposes. Therefore, he still insisted on it in the hall. Give a courtesy.
Although the young man is respectful, he doesn't know why.
The Jaw Palace is now in turmoil, and Xia Chengxuan has also vowed to avenge his father within five years. It can be said that life and death are unpredictable, and he really doesn't want to implicate the Rui family and Rui Xiaoling anymore. In the past few months, Xia Chengxuan had been diligent in going in and out of Rui's house, and he and Rui Xiaoling had already fallen in love with each other. He was instinctively more respectful to his father when he acted and behaved, and he even bowed before he knew it. Just when he lowered his head, he remembered this section and was in a dilemma.
"Haha, your marriage to Xiao Ling has been decided. We are a family, so we don't stick to these false etiquette." Seeing Xia Chengxuan's dilemma, Rui Tuxian comforted him with a light smile.
family?
Xia Chengxuan felt a soreness at the tip of his nose and a warmth in his heart. He bent down deeply and said softly, "Yes."
... ...
Although Lingchengzhai covers an area of 100 acres, it is indeed hidden in a forest in the south of the city. It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to find this place. No sect in the world can match the ability of Zhaixing Pavilion to track people down. Even if Jiudian wanted to kill someone, sometimes they would have to buy information about the victim from Zhaixing Pavilion.
Zhang Suiguang still had unfinished business in the capital and had not deliberately concealed his whereabouts. It would not be difficult for Zhaixing Pavilion to find him.
On the trail south of the city, the two riders rode fast, and finally reined in their horses and stopped outside a dense forest. A man in black jumped up and saw him take something out of his pocket, go to several big trees and mess with it for a while, and then go back.
"Mr. Xu, wait a moment." The man in black stood in front of the man on horseback and bowed to report.
Xu Chenye jumped off his horse, looked at the big trees, then looked at the man in black in front of him, and asked in a daze: "What were you doing so much before?"
"This? I can't tell you." The man in black lowered his head further, wondering, "If I tell you, the second master will definitely punish me severely."
Each sect in the Jianghu has its own rules. The Zhaixingge sect has been established for hundreds of years and has endured for a long time. The strict sect rules are one of the reasons.
"Your second master listened to me. I told him to take me to Zhang Suiguang. Didn't he just ask you to bring me here?" Xu Suye said thiefly, "Your second master is afraid of me, so I called you Tell me, he will definitely not refuse, you just have to say it."
He holds An Ruqing's handle and has been using it to blackmail him for the past few years. It can be said that he has tried repeatedly and has tasted all the benefits.
"I lied to my sister to marry you, and you don't have a sister to marry me. If I don't recover some capital from other places, I will suffer a big loss." Every time the second young master of Zhaixing Pavilion was frustrated, Xu Jinye always said Saying this to myself, I really feel no guilt at all.
"Stop delaying and tell me quickly. I won't tell your second master about this. Even if he finds out, I'll have to take care of it. Why bother?" Xu Jinye grinned and cursed.
The man in black thought that this was not an important secret, and Mr. Xu was the second master’s brother-in-law, so he was not considered an outsider. Even if the second master knew about it, it wouldn’t matter, so he softly replied: “The secret of the Salt Gang The passwords have been set up everywhere. Well, those three trees have dug holes under them, and there are people who know the passwords below. If you have not checked the passwords with them, or if you rush in without matching the passwords, you will be in trouble. If you collide with someone, that would be a big deal, I'm afraid there will be a fight."
"With such a reason, no wonder we can't find him." Xu Jinye sighed, "Then what is their code?"
The man in black's expression tightened, he lowered his head again, and replied in a serious voice: "Mr. Xu, this matter is confidential. I forgive you for not being able to tell me without the second master's permission."
This man is an old man, so he naturally knows what can be said and what cannot be said.
Seeing his sonorous words, Xu Jinye knew that his threats and inducements were useless, so he didn't ask any more questions.
At this moment, a man in green clothes walked out of the forest, bowed to the two of them and saluted, and said: "Dare you ask your distinguished guest's name? I'd like to inform you."
"Ruozhou Xu Family——Xu Suye."
"Oh, it's Young Master Xu. I'm going to report it now, please wait a moment." The man smiled, obviously he had heard of Xu Jinye's name, and he quickly disappeared into the forest without a trace.
... ...
After talking for three rounds, the host and guest finally had all their worries gone.
"Chengxuan, what are your plans for the future?" Rui Tuxian asked.
What to do next? Xia Chengxuan has been asking himself this question in his mind these past few days. The father's hatred must be avenged, and the living people must not live up to it. This was the answer he gave himself.
"Yuan Chen has left the city today to greet his father's coffin. The first thing I have to do is to arrange the funeral of his father." Three years. After thinking about it, I finally feel that formal etiquette is not that important. Taking good care of the people in front of me is what my father wants to see. Yiyi, Yuanchen, Xiaoling and I are all engaged, so why don’t we choose a date to get married? , to celebrate happiness instead of keeping filial piety. I have written to Uncle Mei, and I think he also thinks the same."
Hearing this, everyone's faces were filled with joy. Rui Tuxian looked at his daughter and saw that she was lowering her head and blushing.
"The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable. This third party naturally seeks an enemy to avenge this great hatred!" I also mentioned in my uncle's letter that I wanted Uncle Mei to return to the capital. Uncle Mei is the most trusted person of the father, and Yuan Chen is the adopted son of Prince Jia's palace. Moreover, his and Yiyi's wedding is approaching, and the two families are not in the same league. Share it with each other. If you want to mediate with the enemy, I'm afraid Chengxuan's strategy is not enough. With Uncle Mei's help, you will naturally have more chances of victory."
In fact, he asked Mei Siyuan to return to the capital. In addition, he was naturally worried about his safety. Previously, the Anxian Salt Transportation Government Office was attacked one after another, resulting in heavy casualties. The Mei family in Jinzhou was also attacked from both sides and struggled to support itself.
Divided we are weak, combined we are strong. The same is true for Prince Jia's Mansion and Mei's Mansion. Combining them will benefit both sides, and dividing them will cause two harms.
"Chengxuan, although the Rui family is no longer what it used to be, it is still of some use. Not to mention that you and Xiao Ling are about to have a good time, but in view of His Highness the King of Jaw's kindness to the Rui family, we will definitely advance and retreat with you. Let's share glory and disgrace." Rui Tuxian came here today because he wanted to tell Xia Chengxuan that no matter what he did, the Rui family would stand behind him.
The Rui family came to express their stance? This is something Xia Chengxuan never dared to think about before.
You know, my grandpa knew that he was hesitant to deal with Prince Zhi's palace, not to mention the Rui family, who had not had a close relationship in the past and only relied on an imperial edict to make a marriage contract.
Xia Chengxuan clenched his fists and responded softly, "Okay."
