Tobero

After Mr. Xu came back, he knew his old lady's decision and did not object. He called the housekeeper and ordered to arrange the opening of the ancestral hall: "It just so happens that this Mid-Autumn Festival, all the clan elders are here, let's take care of things together."

It is still very grand to open the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Of course, the importance of worshiping ancestors cannot be compared with that of Huahuahui.Even if Liu Shi is the head of the house, she can't interfere.

After all, the current patriarch of the Xu family is still the old man, not her incompetent husband.

Xu Mingxu has always been a transparent person in Xu's family. When he was a child, he was used as a punching bag by his brothers and sisters. Later, when he studied well, he was told by the teacher to the old man. This was regarded as a bit of attention, but he became a thorn in the side of his peers.

But even if Xu Mingxu entered the Guozijian, he would not have any status in the family, he would even dare to bully a servant.

Now that the ancestral hall is opened, Xu Mingxu's name on the genealogy has been changed, and these older brothers and sisters who are sixteen or seventeen are really confused.

Of course, they didn't take it seriously at first, until after the ancestor worship was over, the old lady called Xu Hongxuan and Xu Mingxu into the house to discuss matters.

That's where it gets interesting.Although it is true that these two are the parties involved in the matter of adoption this time, they are of different generations after all.If they want to discuss things, since they called Xu Mingxu, at least they should call Xu Hongxuan's eldest son, Xu Mingjie.

But at this moment, the old man and the old lady didn't speak, and Xu Hongxuan didn't say anything. Even Liu Shi, who usually regarded his eldest son as a treasure, was in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.Xu Mingjie's face froze, he followed two steps forward, stopped, snorted coldly, and turned back to his yard.

The father and son who were called into the room sat opposite each other, and the old couple sat at the top.The servant girl immediately brought tea, and then quietly retreated.No one knew what they said, anyway, no matter whether it was Xu Mingxu or Xu Hongxuan, it was the same when they went in and the same when they came out.

Mrs. Liu sent people to inquire, but of course they couldn't find out anything. Reminiscent of the old lady's words asking her to accompany her to eat vegetarian food and pray to Buddha, she was anxious and angry, but she couldn't say a word.

Xu Yingxin walked in, saw her mother clutching her chest in anger, and hurriedly stepped forward to give her some comfort: "Mother, aren't you just a wild bastard? Are you worthy of being so angry?"

As soon as Mrs. Liu grabbed her eldest daughter's hand, she waved her hand to let the servants who were serving beside her leave, and then said: "That bastard is very capable now. Do you think it's just a matter of changing your own father? Originally, your father was the only one at home. This house, after the old man and the old lady went, naturally all the property left behind belongs to our family. But now it will be divided into two for no reason..."

Such a conspicuous account, anyone can calculate.

She wanted to say something more, but suddenly felt a burst of force, and her whole body fell directly to the ground as if riding a cloud.After being dazed for a while, she felt pain all over her body and buzzing in her ears. She didn't know what happened, and she couldn't hear who was saying what.

Xu Yingxin was on the side, but she could see clearly and hear clearly.Her father came out of nowhere, and slapped her mother to the ground with one slap.Although the little girl is usually a big sister at home, she often beats and scolds the servants, but where has she ever seen her mother being beaten by her father?Immediately, he froze in place with a pale face.

On the other hand, Xu Hongxuan stood there as if nothing had happened, and still said in a frivolous tone: "A good daughter taught by the Liu family, her parents-in-law are present, so let's take care of the old man's affairs first. The Xu family is Are you short of food or short of your drink, you want to calculate like this? What kind of family wealth is it that you bought after you got married? Those who come from a small family are not on the table."

Liu Shi understood the last sentence clearly.She was furious immediately, and forced herself to stand up from the ground: "I knew it, since you got married, you have disliked my low birth!"

Xu Hongxuan snorted coldly: "Then you did something that I don't dislike? Why are you putting on airs like a lady from an official family from a scholarly family? Can you talk about poetry or compose fu? What about female celebrity? Don’t tell me about the butler, who in the whole capital doesn’t know the joke about the mistress blocking the concubine’s entry? You’ve lost face and lost your realm. But you have to lose face, Don't drag the Xu family with you. With a aunt like you, no wonder others look down on our children."

"Then don't you lose face? Your children are about to start a family and start a career, and you still drink flowers and wine all day long. Have you ever done serious business?"

Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Xu family's eldest family was noisy.But these have nothing to do with Xu Mingxu.He is now a second-hander.A yard has been set aside in the mansion, which is about the same size as the place where the old man and the old lady live.The old lady took Xu Mingxu and taught her little by little: "These things should be done by the head of the house. But you work harder, there are not too many people now, first choose a few family members who need to use them, and set up the shelves, and the rest Take your time." It's better than living with parents in the big house, and it's better to live without parents.

Xu Mingxu's eye circles were reddish, he was really touched: "Don't worry, grandma, grandson will save."

"Don't worry, grandma is still in good health. You concentrate on your studies in the Imperial College. What happens to the Xu family in the future depends on you."

"The grandson must live up to grandma's expectations."

The three-day holiday passed by in a flash, and Tu Hao specially let the carriage go around to Xu's house. Seeing that Xu Mingxu was sent out by a carriage, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and leaned out the window to say hello, "Brother Mingxu!"

Now that the autumn is cool and refreshing, Xu Mingxu hung up the curtains of the carriage and felt a little uncomfortable facing the unfamiliar carriage. Hearing Tu Hao's cry, he immediately jumped off the carriage, and the driver was taken aback: "Seventh Young Master, you Take it easy! What if you fall down?"

In fact, as soon as the carriage left the gate and the horse hadn't taken two steps, it wasn't considered moving at all.Even if it is moving, it is not easy to run a horse in the capital, and the speed is just a stroll.Although Xu Mingxu didn't learn martial arts, almost all boys at this age have the ability to climb trees and climb over walls. What is jumping a carriage?

"It's okay." Xu Mingxu went back to the coachman, and without using a stool, he jumped into Tu Hao's carriage with his hands slightly supported, and hugged the little mouse, whom he hadn't seen for three days, into his arms, listening to the child's happy smile He called him "brother" softly, and laughed along with him involuntarily.The depression at home these past few days can be regarded as vomited out, I just feel extremely happy, and raised my voice to tell my coachman, "Come along."

This coachman is full of calculations, that is, he has just met the Seventh Young Master for a long time, and now it is naturally what the master tells him to do. He will follow the carriage obediently behind the carriage of the Tu family, and then follow the servants of the Tu family to bring the horses from home. moved into the courtyard together.

He was not surprised to see Xu Mingxu and Tu Hao living in the same room.Children have a good relationship, and it is common for them to share the same bed.It's those old men who chat speculatively, don't they often talk about it?

Before leaving, according to the old lady's instructions, he stuffed Qi Qi with a bunch of odds and ends: "Our young master's bookboy hasn't found a suitable one yet. I have to take care of you more usually. The family has prepared I don’t know if it’s suitable for a little thing, so you just settle for it.”

As Tu Hao's school boy, Qi Qi naturally has a lot of face in the Tu family.But no matter what, he is still a kid whose stature is not high enough for a man's shoulders, but this time he is said so by a man who is old enough to be his father, and he feels very good in his heart.But he was more embarrassed: "Why are you being so polite? Young Master Xu treats our young master well. Besides, I usually don't help Young Master Xu with anything..."

Standing in the yard, Tu Hao listened to Qi Qi and the coachman's polite way of coming and going. He pursed his lips in amusement, and pulled Xu Mingxu and whispered, "You coachman is interesting."

Xu Mingxu also followed suit with a smile: "Grandma is looking for someone. Let's go give gifts to the gentlemen first?"

There was no one living in the small courtyard for three days, so there wasn't much dust in fact.But Qi Qi Leng refused to let them in, saying that the house had to be cleaned first.All the things I brought were piled up in the corridor.

This time, Xu Mingxu had more things, while Tu Hao had less.

But Xu Mingxu also knew that he had all these things.Tu Hao always has a lot of things, so he must use a donkey cart to bring them later, maybe one cart or two.

Sure enough, except for a small box of snacks, all the items in front of me were gifts.

Xu Mingxu picked and picked, and gave the smallest and lightest box to Tu Hao: "The little mouse takes this, and holds it with both hands." For the rest, he pocketed them in his left hand and his right hand, with both hands fully grasping them. , took two steps forward, and felt uneasy without holding the child's hand, so he slowed down and walked side by side with Tu Hao, not forgetting to tell, "Go slowly, don't jump."

"Can you hold it?"

"Tell my brother when you are tired, and my brother will help you."

"Little mouse is so good, brother will take you back later."

Tu Hao looked down at the two-two-weight can of tea in both hands, and thought: Ahhh, what should I do if it is swollen?He really wants to say that Erliang is a tea thief, he is too young to hold it, so he really wants to be hugged by the beautiful boy!No, no, no, no, no, he has been a man of four in his two lifetimes combined, so show some face!

Thinking of this, he stopped and raised his head: "Brother?"

Xu Mingxu followed and stopped: "What's the matter, are you tired?"

"No. Brother's things are heavy, let's rest first."

Xu Mingxu's heart was very tight, he stopped in a good manner, put his things on the ground, and watched the little mouse rubbing the red marks on him that were pressed by the heavy objects.Sure enough, he still really wanted to keep the little mouse in his home, and it was best to carry the little mouse with him every day!
