"Gao Chi, you three brothers live here, the courtyard has just been sprinkled and cleaned, and the bedding has been replaced with new ones."
Xu Huizu took the three Zhu Gaochi brothers to the residence and said lightly.
The scenery here is beautiful, the flowers and trees are sparse, the pavilions are elegant, there is a pool of spring water in front of the two-storey pavilion, the fish in the water are up and down, it is a good place to go.
It's just that Xu Huizu's face is a little cold, the three nephews are here, his relatives are visiting from afar, and they are relatives who haven't seen him for many years, which is a happy event, but now Yanwangfu is really a family that can't be touched, and others are afraid to avoid it, and he Xu Huizu can't avoid it if he wants to, so he has to draw a line as much as possible in his attitude.
Zhu Gaochi's surname is kind, he knows his uncle's difficulties, and seeing that his attitude is extremely cold, he is not annoyed in his heart, but he owes himself, and said respectfully: "Brother Gaochi, disturb my uncle." ” Xu Huizu said lightly: "What kind of polite words did the family say.
Okay, wash up and rest.
I have already instructed the government to prepare a dinner party for you, but unfortunately, my uncle will not accompany you tonight if he has made an appointment with several adults in the court to drink together.
You should be at home, you have to be more peaceful, and you can wait for the first emperor to say that the tomb of filial piety is sweeping, and don't provoke some right and wrong.
Gao Chi, you are the elder brother, you should be optimistic about the younger brothers. ” "Yes, Gao Chi must follow his uncle's orders."
Xu Huizu snorted and walked away.
Zhu Gaoxu said angrily: "Big brother, look" Zhu Gaochi's eyes widened, stopped his words, and said in a deep voice: "When I went to Beijing, you forgot what my father told me."
Zhu Gaoxu said indignantly: "It's just that you can stand him like this." ” Zhu Gaochi shook his head, and saw that Xia Xun had arranged the guards and was rushing over, so he stepped forward to meet him, Xia Xun hugged his fists and said: "Shizi, everything has been arranged here, the three princes should wash and rest first, if the three princes go out to play, please inform Weichen in advance, and the ministers can make some arrangements." ” Zhu Gaosui couldn't help but roar angrily: "Damn, when we came to Jinling, are we here as prisoners, you have to monitor the entry and exit."
"Gao Sui shut up" Zhu Gao stopped the third brother sharply, pulled Xia Xun away, lowered his voice, and said apologetically to him: "The second brother and the third brother are rude, surnamed reckless, and my father is worried that they will make a mistake, so he didn't tell them about Lord Yang. ” Xia Xun smiled and said: "No, the prince just needs to live in Jinling with peace of mind."
Since the minister has been entrusted by His Royal Highness King Yan, he will definitely find a way to send His Royal Highness back to Beiping safely. ” Zhu Gaochi said gratefully: "Lord Yang is kind and virtuous, and the Yan Wangfu will never forget it."
However, " He hesitated for a moment, and said with some difficulty: "If you have to do it, you still can't take risks, it's not that Gao Chi doesn't believe in Lord Yang's arrangement, it's true" Xia Xun smiled lightly, and said, "Minister, understand" Zhu Gaochi's "if you have to do it" means that unless you go through all kinds of efforts, it is impossible to go back through normal channels, and at the same time, it must be that Nanjing and Beiping have reached the time when the map is exhausted, and the two sides are already about to tear their faces, and only then can the three brothers leave.
Because the three of them came to Nanjing, it was originally to paralyze Zhu Yunwen and buy time for his father, if he fled before the time came, then he would not have used it at all.
But in this way, it will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of Xia Xun's task.
When they came to Nanjing, they were supposed to be closely monitored by the imperial court, and the Jinyi guards who were responsible for "protecting" them may not all be controlled by Xia Xun.
Once the time comes for Emperor Jianwen to show up in poverty, the three of them will become an important bargaining chip in Nanjing to Beiping, and the monitoring will inevitably be stricter.
Zhu Gaochi said, seeing that Xia Xun was still calm and calm, he couldn't help but secretly feel curious: "From Nanjing to Beiping, all the way, there are all the imperial court forces, if you don't get the emperor's permission, you want to go back to Beiping, unless you put on your wings, but look at his appearance, it seems that he has all the preparations."
"Haha, are Chi'er, Xu'er and Sui'er here, where are my three good nephews?"
With the voice, Xu Zengshou, who was wearing a first-class military attache uniform, was like the unicorn embroidered on his chest, and rushed into the courtyard with his teeth and claws, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he happened to bump into Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, two brothers, Xu Zengshou looked left and right, and said with great joy: "You must be the second and third, look at this head, you are really tall at a young age, which of you is Gao Xu, which one is Gao Sui."
Before the two brothers could answer, Zhu Gaochi had already taken a step, and during this rush, his fat body trembled.
Zhu Gaochi bent his big belly with difficulty, and said respectfully: "Nephew Gaochi, I have seen the third uncle." ” When Xu Zengshou saw it, he couldn't help but exclaim: "My grandma, you are high and blazing, when my uncle hugged you when I was a child, I said that you were too fat, and told you to eat less in the future, I haven't seen you for a few years, look at you, this is getting more and more amazing" Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui listened to it and couldn't help but snicker.
Xia Xun couldn't help but show a slight smile on his face, just watching Xu Huizu's attitude towards his three nephews coldly, Xia Xun couldn't help but secretly be cold.
But at this moment, seeing that Xu Zengshou did not avoid suspicion, as soon as he heard that his nephew was coming, Xing Chongchong rushed back from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, Xia Xun also felt warm in his heart, people in this world are not all mercenary after all.
It was late at night, and Xu Zengshou, who was burping and smelling of alcohol, had just sent his three nephews back to the room to rest.
In order to avoid suspicion, Xu Huizu refused to eat together even when his three nephews arrived at his home, but the third Xu Zengshou didn't care about this, he accompanied the three nephews, and called out his son and nephew, and the family drank so much this night.
Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui are not very old, but they are also good drinkers, but they usually have strict family rules, and they can only drink a little secretly occasionally, but now they have such an unobtrusive uncle instigated them, and they don't listen to the dissuasion of the eldest brother at all, and the little brothers get drunk, and finally they are carried back.
It's the boss Zhu Gaochi, his alcohol consumption is actually very good, although he drinks extremely modestly, but under the persuasion of his uncle and a group of cousins in the Zhongshan Palace, he didn't drink less wine this night, but when he walked back to the bedroom, he was still calm and stable, and his face did not change.
"Yang Xu, my three nephews, you have to take care of me, you can't ask them to do the kind of pickled things his father encountered in Jinling.
If something happens to them, I'll just ask."
Xu Zengshou blasted the eldest nephew back, and when he walked under the moon gate, he happened to see Xia Xun guarding there, so he stopped and instructed Xia Xun seriously.
At the beginning, Xia Xun and the Yang family had a lawsuit, and Huang Zicheng, the teacher of the imperial grandson, was also involved, Xu Zengshou helped Xia Xun a lot at that time, and afterwards Xia Xun also had a greeting sticker and gifts, and went to the Zhongshan Palace.
Because of this relationship, Xu Zengshou did not treat Xia Xun as an outsider.
Xia Xun bowed and said: "Governor Dadu, please rest assured, the lowly will take good care of the three princes and never let them be harmed." ” "Hmm" Xu Zengshou nodded, and with the intention of drinking, he said a few pointed words: "I know, if some people want to be unfavorable to my three nephews, you can't manage it if you want to, do your best, there is really something embarrassing, you are not good at doing it, I hope you tell me, they are my own nephews, if something goes wrong under my nose, I will not have the face to see my eldest sister in my life." ” Xia Xun's heart was hot, and he bowed and said, "Yes, I know it."
There is one more thing to be reported to the Governor. ” "Hmm" Xu Zengshou's eyes swept away with drunkenness, and he asked solemnly: "What's the matter?"
Xia Xun originally wanted to hide this secret in his heart, and when King Yan and Emperor Jianwen broke openly, it would not be too late to say it, but seeing that Xu Zengshou was a person who attached great importance to family affection, and was not like his eldest brother who was a cold-blooded politician who only cared about the gains and losses of interests, Xia Xun was moved in his heart, and finally told the secret hidden in his heart: "The little county lord is safe and sound now, and the governor of the capital should not be too worried." ” Xu Zengshou grabbed his shoulders and said with joy: "What did you say, you have seen my little sister, where is she, is everything okay?"
Xia Xun said: "A few days ago, I went to Beiping to investigate the lawlessness of the subordinates of Jinyiwei, and I happened to meet the county lord on the way.
At that time, the lowly post planned to send the county lord back, but the county lord insisted on refusing, and the lowly post had no choice but to take her to Beiping. ” Xu Zengshou was stunned for a moment, let go and said: "So, she is now at the eldest sister's house" Xia Xun shook his head and said: "No, now Yanwangfu is simply the target of everyone, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at Yanwangfu."
The county lord was worried that her appearance in the Yan Wangfu would cause inconvenience to the Yan King and the Yan Princess, so after arriving in Beiping, she never got in touch with the Yan Wangfu, but was arranged by the humble position to temporarily live in a rich businessman. ” Xu Zengshou muttered: "My little sister has grown up and is sensible."
Xu Zengshou sighed for a moment, suddenly glared again, grabbed Xia Xun's shoulder and scolded: "How many days have you been back to Jinling, why didn't you say it until now?"
Xia Xun said helplessly: "The stakes are very high, if it weren't for the fact that I saw the true feelings of the Metropolitan Governor today, I would not have said it." ” Xu Zengshou snorted, and Xia Xun said again: "Actually, the little county lord also said to the lowly position, she said that the third brother is the best to her, and he spoils her the most, so that after the lowly position returns to Nanjing, tell the governor of the capital her whereabouts, so as not to worry the governor."
However, please forgive the Metropolitan Governor, the county lord is young after all, and he still dare not say these words until he sees what the Metropolitan Governor has done."
