Chapter 20 Biography of Xue Xun
Following the sharp questioning of the Xuan Zhi eunuch, the buzzing yard fell silent for a moment, and everyone was waiting for Xue Xun's answer.
Xue Xun kowtowed and bowed again, prostrated himself on the ground, and said: "The Xue family's job is valuable to merchants, and they are not good at court affairs. They are useless and have no virtue. Xue Xun dare not accept rewards." Although the man knelt on the ground humbly, his back was straight, I saw only the bones of bones.
The atmosphere suddenly condensed.
The eunuch Xuanzhi lowered his face, wondering how to make things right.He didn't expect Xue Xun to be so ignorant and stubborn, but last time Xue Xun refuted His Majesty's will, and this time His Majesty announced the decree in front of the public, making a face for Xue Xun, obviously to use him, And it must be Xue Xun.The Xuanzhi eunuch is speaking harshly now, but if Xue Xun can bear it, then next time he wants to use Xue Xun, in addition to more generous rewards and praise, the more important thing is to let go of him, a "bullying" eunuch. up.The Xuanzhi eunuch thought for a while, he represented His Majesty, if he was so weak, would His Majesty feel that he was incompetent, and thus lose his sacred heart.What is the difference between falling out of favor now and dying later.But, thinking about it again...
The Xuanzhi eunuch was fighting fiercely in his mind, and he couldn't think of a solution for a while. Shi Gui watched from the side, and hurriedly said: "Your brother is noble and upright, and he imitates the sages who say three times and make three concessions, which is admirable. Father-in-law, today is the full moon of the Xue family. Talk about family affection, don't ask about state affairs, and invite father-in-law to take the seat, let me be equal to Mu Tianen."
Shi Gui gave the steps, and Eunuch Xuanzhi laughed dryly and said, "Our family congratulates Young Master Xue on his full moon. Master Xue please get up quickly. Today you are the host."
No matter how stiff it was, the scene finally came back. Uncle Zhong waved his hands and asked the stage to dress up and sing, and the guests who came to congratulate him also wanted to cover up their volume and laughed loudly, as if to let the lively atmosphere dissipate the thrill just now.
Wang Ziteng stood up silently and accompanied the last seat respectfully. He also visited Xue Wang on behalf of his natal family this time, but he didn't say a word, just observed quietly.
Eunuch Xuanzhi was so generous with face that he left after drinking water and wine.
As soon as Mr. Xuanzhi left, the courtyard became quiet again. Seeing that everyone was uncomfortable, Xue Xun did not force the guests to stay. He stood up and bowed his hands to salute, saying: "My son, I am grateful that you have come to congratulate me. I am busy today, sorry. You will not be left behind."
"Master Xue, you are being polite..." The guests who attended the banquet were also very humble, and they all bid farewell.
Uncle Zhong, as the butler, sent off the guests on behalf of the master, and the guests did not pick on Xue Xun's etiquette anymore. Now it was not only Xue Xun, they all wanted to rush back to the study to discuss with the elders, family members and Qing guest's staff.
The courtyard that was still very lively just now was gone in an instant, Shi Gui put down the wine glass in his hand, and said: "You can't change your donkey temper, don't die!"
"Brother, why did you say that? You just followed the trend." Xue Xun smiled wryly, "You take it for granted."
Wang Ziteng sat at the main table all the time, and then he smiled and said: "Brother Yuzhong, don't worry, my brother-in-law must know something in his chest, we are waiting to help him. I am afraid that my sister does not know the news in the inner house, I will tell her, by the way Look at my nephew."
"Alright, sorry to trouble the second uncle, you haven't seen A Su until today, just to talk about the relationship between brother and sister." Xue Xun smiled and told Yinshuang: "Take the second uncle to see the wife."
As soon as Wang Ziteng left, Shi Gui asked curiously: "Isn't Ziteng a bit strange?" They Jia Shi Wang Xue's four families are old relatives, and their peers are often referred to as brothers. Shi Gui also knows Wang Ziteng.
With a wave of Xue Xun's hand, he asked the maid who was about to clean up the leftovers to leave. The Golden Beast knew that the master had something to say, so he directly asked the staff of the Secretary of General Administration to close the door of the hospital, so that the serving servants could leave completely. The coming opera sound also gradually stopped.In the entire spacious courtyard, only Xue Xun and Shi Gui were still sitting at the central table.There is no more intimate place for conversation, better than a study.
"The first uncle plays around in the world and doesn't want to be fettered by the world. The second uncle is also a descendant, but he was born a few years later, and all the family resources are no longer on him. What you can't ask for yourself is abandoned by others like a piece of paper. No one can change it." I can't be happier." Xue Xun sighed.
"But what did you find out?" Shi Gui was terrified, and tragedies such as brother cannibalism flashed through his mind. He also knew about the Secretary of the General Administration.
"When I went back to the capital, I found out that Uncle Shi was seriously ill and he kept a pot of flowers with a strong fragrance. My brother said what I could do. They are all my relatives, so I can only hint to Uncle Shi in front of the two uncles. I only hope that an outsider like me will point it out, they are so unanimous to the outside world. Unfortunately, it seems that it has no effect now." Xue Xun sighed, and it is still Wang Ziteng who is acting on behalf of the Wang family.
Xue Xun didn't know Lord Wang's hard work, he found out that the second son was playing tricks in front of him, pushing out his elder brother, isn't it a happy thing?He scolded, scolded, taught and taught, but if there is any way, he broke it apart and talked about it. Instead, Wang Zisheng cheered, and he wanted to hand over the burden of the next Patriarch to Wang Ziteng.Wang Zisheng knew very well that he himself did not have the ability to deal with the court, so he took the initiative to give up his position to his second brother, which gained a good reputation. In the future, his second brother will only be there for him. No matter who it is, as long as he can keep going through everything Don't worry about the dandy life, he is willing to follow that person's lead. Now he is the father, and he will be the younger brother in the future, no difference.
Mr. Wang also wanted to teach the prince a lesson, but time waited for no one. Now that the situation was changing like a storm, he couldn't guarantee that he would stand still.It's too late to train anyone now, and still can only let Wang Ziteng act on behalf of the Wang family.
"Hey, what are you talking about about the Wang family? Don't change the topic. I won't be fooled. I should talk about why you refused to accept the imperial decree." Shi Gui suddenly reacted, patted his forehead and said.
"Aren't I up for grabs? Last time I was only a third-rank official, but this time I'm going to be a marquis. If I keep my reserve, my brother said next time I should be a duke and a king." Xue Xun joked. .
Shi Gui slapped him on the back with a slap, and reprimanded: "Your majesty, do you have the slightest awe? You are also in the officialdom. Could it be that the king's land under the whole world, and the king's ministers on the shore of water and soil don't understand the truth?" Is it?" Shi Gui was so angry, did he really think that the emperor had a good temper?He refuted him time and time again, no matter how capable Xue Xun is, the royal family just doesn't need it, and there are so many talents in the world, isn't there anyone who can clean up the situation?
Look at those famous Confucian scholars who have been passed down through the ages. Some of them put on airs and did not become officials, but they came later.snort!If you slap the royal family in the face, you will be a mountain villager for the rest of your life.Learning literary and martial arts, goods and the emperor's family, how many people have followed suit, prostrate on the ground, humbly waiting for the royal appointment.
"Brother, don't worry, I have what no one else has. There is only me in the world who can accomplish this, so don't worry." Xue Xun smiled confidently.
"Then you can think about it in the future, when you are useless, won't His Majesty remember the arrogance and rudeness of today?"
"Brother, you are too eccentric. The royal family wanted my things, and the imperial decree came down immediately. Did you discuss it with me? Is it because he is rude to act like a robber, but because I am arrogant?"
"Don't do Tai Chi for me. If you don't think about yourself, don't you think about your younger siblings?" Shi Gui slapped the table angrily and said, if he is reasonable, he is not a royal family.
"So, I will make myself useful all the time. Don't worry, brother. At least a hundred years of peace can be guaranteed." Xue Xun leaned close to Shi Gui's ear and whispered the word "a hundred years".
"You..." Shi Gui turned his head and stared at him blankly, speechless for a while, is this still Xue Xun who grew up together?How come they don't know each other anymore, and there is also Wang Ziteng who covets the position of Patriarch, and his young companions have been transformed beyond recognition by time in places where he can't see.
Xue Xun said with a smile: "Second Uncle was right in saying something just now, I am waiting for Elder Brother to help me, what would Elder Brother wish?"
Shi Gui drank the tasteless vegetarian wine in front of him, Xue's family was still in the filial piety period, this seemingly vigorous banquet, the wine was also tasteless.Shi Gui sighed: "Speak."
"I also ask my brother to serve as the commander of the naval battle capital."
Shi Gui gritted his teeth and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Brother, where are you thinking? I am also a citizen of Daqing, and I will not do things that are collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. What brother should ask is what does the emperor want? What does he want after so many times?"
"Can you tell me?" Shi Gui mocked.
"He wants the Xue family to re-establish the southern market, stabilize prices, pacify refugees, develop livelihoods, and restore prosperity. After that, he will drive the Xue family into the dust to repay today's negligence." Xue Xun said leisurely.
What else did Shi Gui want to persuade, but Xue Xun raised his hand to stop him and said: "Now that the game has reached the middle game, there is no possibility of turning back, brother, you don't need to persuade me. You should think about the matter of commanding and envoys first, think about it." Reply to me when it is clear, I can wait."
After Xue Xun finished speaking, he walked out of the courtyard in big strides, followed by the Golden Beast with small steps, and when he got to a place where no one was around, the Golden Beast asked curiously: "Master, when did we have a hundred-year plan?"
"No, did I say so?" Xue Xun looked back innocently, with the expression that you must have misheard from standing too far away.
The golden beast silently swallowed a mouthful of old blood, well, if the master said no, then there would be no, presumably it was just an excuse to stabilize Master Shi and drag him onto the pirate ship.
Xue Xun strode towards the main courtyard. So many things happened today, he had to explain clearly to Mrs. Xue. In his wife's communication, her attitude represented the Xue family's attitude.
"Brother Hao, come and sit down. I have something to ask you for advice!" As soon as Xue Xun entered the door, Mrs. Xue Wang rushed to greet her. She was only confinement today, and her forehead was still tied on her head, because she wanted to entertain guests , dressed in a silver-red dress, beautifully dressed.
"It just so happens that I also have something to say to A Su, come on, you talk first." Xue Xun smiled and helped her sit down, he got used to it, Xue Wang's figure has not recovered yet, but he does not avoid Xue Xun affectionate.
"Brother Hao, what's going on outside today? I didn't understand the yelling. And the second brother just came to tell me a lot of interesting things in the boudoir, and told me to get along with you well. You know, I am Concubine, even the elder sister gets along less than the two elder brothers in her boudoir, I can't remember all the funny things the second elder brother said today. Besides, the second elder brother has never been so close to me, but what happened?"
Xue Xun kowtowed and bowed again, prostrated himself on the ground, and said: "The Xue family's job is valuable to merchants, and they are not good at court affairs. They are useless and have no virtue. Xue Xun dare not accept rewards." Although the man knelt on the ground humbly, his back was straight, I saw only the bones of bones.
