Summer dawns early.
At half past four o'clock, the white fish belly was faintly visible on the horizon.
Duke Xu put on his court clothes, packed them up, and walked all the way to the sedan hall, ready to go to court.
The sedan bearer respectfully invited him to get on the sedan. The small door on the side creaked and someone came in.
Xu Guogong subconsciously turned his head to look. When he saw the appearance of the person clearly, his anger rose.
"Stop!" Xu Guogong said sternly.
Su Ke immediately stopped and scratched his head at his father, looking like he was trying to please him.
Xu Guogong stepped forward, leaned over and smelled it, and his head was swollen by the vulgar aroma again.
"You kid, did you turn a deaf ear to what I said?" he scolded, "I told you to stop, and you didn't come back until dawn?"
"Don't worry! I heard it, really!" Seeing his father's anger rising, Su Ke hurriedly said, "How can there be a clean break in one sentence? Didn't you say that there was still half a year left? I am doing this in a roundabout way and step by step. . I’m afraid that if I’m too cruel, I’ll be resented by others and leave trouble in the future, really.”
Xu Guogong looked him up and down.
Su Ke simply raised his hand to swear.
"What's it like!" Xu Guogong slapped his hand. Seeing Su Ke crying out in pain and laughing at the same time, he snorted, "I'm in a hurry to go out and I don't have time to settle accounts with you. You'd better be aware of it!"
Su Ke held Xu Guogong's arm and led him to the sedan chair: "It's important for you to go to court in the morning."
Xu Guogong stepped onto the sedan chair and sat firmly. Before the curtain of the sedan chair could be lowered, he nodded again: "If I dare to cause trouble, I'll break your legs!"
Su Ke responded well and ran to open the main door himself. He stood in front of the door and watched the sedan leave. Then he yawned and went home to rest.
What bad luck!
In the past, I always entered through the corner door, but today I rarely used the front door, but my father bumped into me.
If he hadn't been quick-thinking and made up an excuse immediately, he would have been scolded.
By the way, is the smell that great?
Lifting up his cuffs and tugging at his collar, Su Ke smelled it carefully. The sweet and intoxicating floral fragrance lingered in his breath.
The smell is a bit strong, but isn’t it quite fragrant?
It's all romantic, swaying like the little widow's waist.
My father was so disgusted and didn't understand appreciation at all.
Outside Xu Guogong's mansion, two young men who were watching whispered a few words, and one of them went back to Qingyu Hutong to report to Chen Gui.
Chen Gui just got up and wiped his face with a clean handkerchief. After hearing what the boy said, he was stunned for a while, then took the handkerchief into the water and wiped it hard on his face.
He didn't put a cold handkerchief on his face often, as he was afraid that the blood would come to him!
What the princess said was absolutely correct.
Then Young Master Su is doing random things every day, how could the elders not know about it?
Su Ke went in with his front foot, and sent Xu Guogong to court with his back foot. The two father and son faced each other in the sedan hall at 4:30am. Could it be that Xu Guogong was less experienced than Chen Gui?
This family, father and son, are not good people!
"The King of Hell wants people to die at the third watch, and will never leave anyone alive until the fifth watch." Chen Gui hung the handkerchief on the shelf, with murderous intent in his eyes, "Liao Zi, follow what I taught you, and let that bastard know it today. The consequences of provoking people here and there!"
When Liao Zi heard this, he quickly asked: "Are you sure that Mr. Su will go to Yanzi Lane in the evening?"
Chen Gui is not sure.
"He can't stay idle, he will go somewhere eventually, and there is only so much distance to go around," Chen Guidao said, "As long as he steps into Yanzi Lane, it will be the King of Hell who wants to kill him!"
Liao Zi took the order and returned to the outside of Xu Guogong's mansion, continuing to stare.
In the afternoon, the person guarding the west corner door came to deliver a message, saying that someone had gone out from that end.
They watched Su Ke for several days and learned from experience. They knew that this man would first have a good meal with his friends and then go to a certain house.
As expected, I followed the search and found the person.
After waiting for a while, Liao Zi saw with his own eyes that Su Ke stepped into the door of the little lady in Yanzi Lane. He geared up and said: "I really asked the boss to make it right. The king of hell has urged me to do it! Go to the street corner and inform the boss that I will Go to Willow Alley.”
At night, Liushu Hutong is more lively than during the day.
Liao Zi looked at the brightly lit houses on the left and right and clicked his tongue: "People of the same species gather together, so they are all settling here!"
He walked to the place and knocked on the door.
After a while, the woman came and opened the door a crack: "Who is it?"
"Mom," Liao Zi said with a smile, "my master asked you to find the ball a few days ago."
As he spoke, he took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and slowly showed it in front of his mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law's eyes were glued to the ingot, and she followed from left to right.
"Our master has a few words for you, young master." Liao Zi held the ingot in the palm of his hand. "When I finish speaking in person, the ingot belongs to the young master, and there is also a thank you gift for mother."
If you say this before, the person who comes has an agenda. The mother-in-law can see it clearly, but she is still interested in money, and there is a bit of hesitation on her face.
"Young master, don't you have good ears?" Liao Zi said again, "A runner like me wouldn't dare to enter the master's house, so I'll say it in the yard. Don't worry, mom, people like us know the rules best, how can we be so casual?" Where is the person who is looking to make a great career?"
The mother-in-law said "wait a moment" and closed the door.
Liao Zi knew there was something going on. After waiting for a short while, the door opened again and the mother-in-law motioned for him to go in.
There was no sign of the young man in the yard.
Liao Zi was not surprised. He followed the mother-in-law's instructions and stood on the porch: "Our master is a host and would like to treat the young master to a drink."
The place was much brighter. The mother-in-law carefully looked at Liao Zi's clothes and posture, and said: "I have met many people, but your host's family is not like this."
Liao Zi smiled secretly.
Of course not the Chen Dong family, and none of them who run errands are either!
"The master is not, but the noble is," Liao Zi said with a serious face, "The master works for the noble. I happened to see the young master that day, and I knew that the young master can make the noble's eyes shine."
When the mother-in-law heard this, she recalled the appearance of the old man.
Judging from his clothes, he was a relatively wealthy businessman, but his behavior had the bearing of a noble family.
Now that I think about it, it makes sense. He is a businessman who relies on the guidance of noble people to do business.
However, how noble can the noble person behind it be?
Can he be more powerful than the third son of Duke Xu?
The mother-in-law suppressed her heartbeat and said: "Our master is a well-behaved man. I think your master may have misunderstood us."
"What mom said, if it was really a misunderstanding, you wouldn't have let me come here to talk nonsense," Liao Zi exposed it directly to her, "I'm just doing one business, not a second one, and I'm already clinging to Young Master Su. , I won’t do that kind of thing that’s right and left.”
The mother-in-law's face turned ugly instantly.
"Since the master is interested in introducing the noble man to the young master, he will naturally make an investigation." Liao Zi pretended not to see it and said to the side of the room, "The third young master Su has been engaged to the girl from Chengyi's house. After the marriage, the uncle's house will Can you let your uncle do such a thing?
For the sake of harmony between the two families, Xu Guogong's mansion would not let Third Young Master Su act. No matter what Third Young Master Su thought, he could not trouble his elder parents.
Unlike our nobles, who set up their own families and make their own decisions, as long as the young master serves him properly, he can get good results.
Our master wants to tell the young master that the key to taking this path is youth, and the young master should not waste time. "
