Make a long-term worker as an old attack

Just as Xue Zhaoqing was about to exclaim, he saw a familiar face looking at him with a smile under those hands.

"Quick, come out quickly." Xue Zhaoqing took Niu Geng's hand and pulled him out of the small cave.

"The ability to dig holes that I learned in the army before, I have come to use these days." At the feet of the two, there is a cave that can accommodate about one person. On the other side of the cave, there is a camouflage made of weeds and mud. The cover, at first glance, doesn't look much different from the weedy field beneath your feet.

"Brother Niu Geng, hurry up, it will be troublesome if people see it again." Xue Zhaoqing pulled Niu Geng and ran towards the low wall.

"Qing'er, did you find the letter?"

"Found it! I will discuss with Uncle Fu in the next few days about what to do next!"

"That's good!" After Niu Geng said, he quickly jumped up the low wall, turned over and left.

Xue Zhaoqing breathed a sigh of relief, and after confirming that there was no one around, he went back to the yard where he was working.

That night, Tian Degui knew that there were thieves breaking in during the day, and the people of the whole house couldn't even catch up with half a person, so he immediately became angry in the room.

"You dog slaves, do you feed delicious food and drink into your mouth on weekdays, and it turns into feces and urine?! In broad daylight, people break into the mansion like breaking through an empty door. How dare you You all know! Are you guys worse than dogs!"

After saying that, the white jade porcelain vase in front of him shattered with a crash, and some of the fragments hit the servants in the front row. For a moment, the whole yard was silent, and no one dared to breathe out.

"Get out! You useless bastards, get out of here! I'll be annoyed when I see you!" After finishing speaking, a boy in the courtyard heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly stepped out of the courtyard gate. middle.

Tian Degui tugged at his collar. The scorching hot weather made his already depressed mood even more gloomy. After pouring a pot of cold water into his stomach, Tian Degui shook his hands and walked to his cousin's room.

"I just heard someone say that you made a big fuss with the young man at home?" Xue Tian was sitting in the shade of the courtyard to enjoy the cool air, when she saw Tian Degui coming, she didn't get up, she just drank tea by herself,

"Yeah." Tian Degui snorted angrily, and sat on the side: "Those guys are so useless, they have to find a reason to drive them all out later."

"Hmph." Xue Tian sneered: "It's not that they are useless, it's because of this matter that they don't want to spend that effort. It's just a concubine and a side uncle, so how can they bother to waste that work?" Hard."

"what do you mean?"

"This meaning couldn't be more obvious. How many years have I been in Xue's mansion, I have survived like this. Although I am the master, I am inevitably despised by the servants! Over the years, I have not even eaten at the table in the side hall. Not at all, I bring a girl and woman to serve them every day. Right now, not to mention the stealing of underwear, but one day my concubine is lost, and the servants in the family don’t know if it’s true It's time to clap your hands!"

"Cousin, what do you want now?"

"Now, only by inheriting the family property dignifiedly in the ancestral ancestral hall according to the text, and truly becoming the masters of the Xue family, can we really turn around!"

"I also know that. Now, Xue is hanging there like an old man. I don't know where Xue Zhaoqing has gone. It is natural and right to inherit the family business according to the text, but Xue Fu, that old bastard, is unwilling to take it out even if he is killed. With San Qi coming, I have nothing to do!"

"...I plan to talk to him tonight, whether it is soft or hard, even if he is unwilling to hand over the three deeds, he must call the uncle of the family branch and give Zhaowen a temporary right to speak first! Fortunately, you and I have more dignity in the Xue residence."

"That's good too, save you from having long nights and dreams."

Xue Tian took a sip of tea and said: "I don't know why recently, I always feel flustered, as if I'm being watched by a pair of eyes. Right now, I can only feel a little bit at ease if I quickly let Zhaowen take a firm seat." Some."

It was night, Xue Tian came to Xue Fu's house alone, she thought that this pedantic old housekeeper would reply in one bite, but before she could say a few words, Xue Fu agreed.

"Why is the butler so reasonable today?" Xue Tian's words seemed half doubtful.

"This old slave only wants someone surnamed Xue to be in charge of this big house. Under the current circumstances, if the Second Young Master no longer has real power in his hands, I'm afraid that the huge Xue residence will fall into the hands of someone else surnamed." This is what he said. He couldn't understand it any better, but Xue Tian was not annoyed after hearing it.

After all, she and Tian Degui are just using each other. For her, her son can take power, which is much better than that unreliable scoundrel.

The next day, Xue Fu personally took a family to visit the uncles and elders of various branches of the Xue family around Sanyuan County. Three days later, they would choose orthodox people from this generation in the ancestral hall of the Xue family.

"Uncle Fu, tomorrow at the ancestral hall..." Xue Zhaoqing, still dressed in disguise, secretly appeared in Xue Fu's house. Tomorrow is the time for Xue's parents and seniors to gather in the ancestral hall. After a long time of preparation, Xue Zhaoqing is still unavoidably nervous.

"Young master, when this old slave was feeding the master these days, I secretly told the master these things. I thought that in the current state of the master, I would not listen to these things, but I never thought that this afternoon, the master was alone in the room. When he was in the bed, a candlestick that was originally placed on his bed was knocked down, and I saw that the master could not speak, but his face was flushed red, after thinking about it, the old Nu thought that the master probably wanted to see you."

"Really?!" After entering Xue's mansion, Xue Zhaoqing wanted to visit his father in his room countless times, but there were many people in Xue's mansion, including many aunts and Tian Degui's cronies, Xue Zhaoqing was afraid of showing his feet. I have been enduring it.

"Well, tonight, the Second Madam and the others are busy with tomorrow's ceremony, so they shouldn't be so scruples, young master, please wash off this attire first, and come with me in your servant's clothes."

After tidying up, the two saw that the night was quiet and the lights were not on, so they hid their figures in the darkness and walked along the path.

After Xue Fu pushed away the two guards in front of the gate of the courtyard where Xue Gan lived, he waved to Xue Zhaoqing who was hiding aside, and led him into the courtyard he was very familiar with.

It's just that this courtyard has lost the magnificence and dignity it once had, and it has become a bit depressed in just a few months.A few strands of gray-green moss crawled up from under the stone bench in the courtyard, and a thick layer of dust also piled up on the perfectly round and extremely smooth stone table.Xue Zhaoqing couldn't help touching the round table with his fingers, the tentacles were rough, and two deep finger marks were printed on the light gray round table.

"Since they gained power, no one else was allowed in except for the two young men guarding the door. At first the second lady came to have a look, but then she stopped coming. Only the old slave came to serve the master every day. Meals, occasionally scrubbing the body, or pushing the master to bask in the sun."

"According to the text? Daddy like this, why doesn't he come and see?"

"Don't mention it, the second young master only visited the master once, and he never appeared again after that."

"He!" Xue Zhaoqing gritted his teeth and said, Xue Zhaoqing can still understand the mischief of his aunt and Tian Degui, but the younger brother who has been playing around behind him like a meatball since childhood, has become so unbearable and unfilial .

"Master, people's hearts are so... don't be sad." Xue Fu said, took Xue Zhaoqing's hand and went into the house.

In the huge room, only two candles were lit at the entrance, and the warm yellow lampshade shrouded the dim candlelight, but people could not feel the slightest temperature.

There was a slight smell of traditional Chinese medicine in the room, as well as a mildewy pungent smell. Taking advantage of the weak candlelight, Xue Zhaoqing walked towards the still magnificent bed at the corner.

Lying on the bed was a person who could barely feel his breath, his face was gray, his cheeks were thin, his eyes were closed, his brows were slightly furrowed, and the hand exposed outside the quilt was almost bloodless, like a withered hand in winter. The branches are ruined.Xue Zhaoqing walked forward step by step, but the further he walked, the more sore his nose became, and the heavier his steps became.

He has never seen his father look like this, lying on this small bed like a dying person, he never thought that one day his straight spine would bend down, unable to carry the huge piece of the Xue family. world.

"Eldest young master, the master should be asleep right now, do you want to wake him up?" Xue Fuli asked from the side.

Xue Zhaoqing shook his head: "Let him rest, dad is indeed too tired."

After finishing speaking, Xue Zhaoqing gradually squatted on the side of the bed, and tightly held Xue Qian's cold hand that was exposed outside like a dead person with his warm hands.

However, at this moment, Xue Gan, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, seemed to feel the temperature, and slightly opened his closed eyes.He couldn't move his head, so he couldn't see who was leaning on the bed, but he could vaguely feel the hands holding him, which were very familiar.

"Master? Master, are you awake?" Xue Fu stood aside, unable to see clearly. At this moment, Xue Gan was struggling to even open his eyes, and there was only a gap between his eyelids.

Hearing this, Xue Zhaoqing stood up immediately, at this moment Xue Gan could see clearly who was holding his hand.

All of a sudden, thousands of words were blocked in the throat that couldn't speak a word. Xue Gan tried his best, but he couldn't even utter a word. I could only take a few heavy breaths.

"Dad, dad, don't worry, don't worry." Xue Zhaoqing held Xue Gan's hand tightly, comforting him in a low voice, with some sobs in his hoarse voice: "I know, I know what you want to say, don't worry , I have my family affairs, and Uncle Fu."

"Huh, huh, huh..." Xue Gan was still panting heavily, Xue Zhaoqing felt movement between his hands, and gently opened his tightly clenched fingers, Xue Zhaoqing watched Xue Gan's index finger, middle finger, and ring finger stand erect, While the other two fingers are struggling to bend.

"Father, are you...?"

"Master, don't worry, the three deeds are still in my hands and have not been handed over." Xue Fu immediately understood.But Xue Qian didn't seem to want to hear this answer, he opened his palm again, and grabbed Xue Zhaoqing with great effort.

"Master, are you...?" Xue Fu was surprised: "Could it be that you want me to leave the three deeds to the young master?"

After Xue Gan listened, he breathed a sigh of relief, and the breathing was not so heavy anymore.

Xue Fu understood in his heart that this was the last words the master left for himself in advance, Xue Fu responded: "Master, don't worry, even if you put all your strength into this old slave, I will do my best to ensure that the young master is safe and can inherit the family business smoothly!"

After hearing this, Xue Gan seemed to be relieved, and quietly closed his eyes that were struggling to open, like the living dead, leaving only a gossamer, and lay quietly on the bed.
