Strategy to develop champions

Chapter 73

The Hu family is a wealthy family in Heqiao Town, and their ancestors were landlords. In the generation of Mrs. Hu, who donated a squire, they can be regarded as a respectable family in Heqiao Town.

It's a pity that Mr. Hu's son is not successful, so he recruited a son-in-law like Mr. Liang, but he didn't expect the investment to be successful.Although Mr. Liang is not good at reading, it is rare that he has some experience in the officialdom. He has been a master for more than ten years, and now he has become a county magistrate.

There was a son-in-law who was a county magistrate, and Mr. Hu became more and more proud. In addition to his son's incompetence, he gradually ignored his son and only locked up his own grandsons and grandsons.

When this happened yesterday, Mr. Liang really didn't find any good fruit to eat.He was praised by the people in the court, and he had to kneel on the washboard all night when he returned home.However, this incident has already happened, and there is no room for retaliation. Mr. Hu was so angry that he almost couldn't hold his breath, and finally shouted: "That naughty son... that naughty son, let him die outside."

This morning, Mr. Liang had not yet gone to Yingmao, the county government office, when the servants of the Hu family called him over.Mr. Hu didn't sleep all night, from hair to eyebrows and beard, it seems to be a little whiter than usual.His daughter, Mrs. Xian Tai Ye, was on the sidelines and stared at Mr. Liang fiercely, looking like a tigress about to show her might.Master Hu drank the medicine Madam Liang handed over, and waved his hand to signal her to back down: "I still have something to talk to Jingyi, you go out first."

Mrs. Fu, the magistrate of the county, pushed him out, and Mr. Hu leaned on the bed, pointing to the table and chairs beside him for Master Liang to sit down: "Jingyi, I didn't sleep all night last night, Ah Fu is not alone, but that child is Innocent, I don’t know it, but now that I know it, how can I let him live outside again!”

Mr. Liang is also scalp numb at this time. Someone went to the county government early this morning to report that they found the body of Tofu Xishi. Now that the criminal has committed suicide in fear of crime, if the matter of Hu Fu is truthfully reported to the Shuntian Mansion , I'm afraid the chance of survival is not great, besides, it's the time when he is going to be promoted, if he gets involved because of this matter, the loss outweighs the gain.

Mr. Hu thought for a while and continued: "Ah Fu's matter, you just resign yourself to fate. You have failed in the imperial examinations, and it is not easy to get to this step. Our Hu family can be regarded as relying on you in this Heqiao town. If you hadn’t turned a blind eye all these years, Ah Fu wouldn’t know how many people he would have offended, I’ve noticed all of this.”

Mr. Liang has always thought that the old man is a very strict person, and he relied on the Hu family to get what he is today, so he has always been respectful in front of the old man. Now hearing what the old man said, he suddenly felt that he had been humbled in front of his wife all these years It's all worth it.

"Father-in-law, don't say that. If I weren't old, I wouldn't be where I am today. Although the edict from above has not come down, Master Kong told me that there is a good county in the south. Let me stay there for a few years. Jiangnan That is a land of fish and rice, I still want to bring you and mother-in-law to live together for a few years."

Master Hu just shook his head and said: "I've lived in this Heqiao Town all my life, and I don't think it's bad. Although Jiangnan is good, it's too far away after all. Besides, even though your brother is gone, how many people are still in front of me?" I'm a child, but now there is one thing I want to ask you to do."

Mr. Liang saw that Mr. Hu was serious, and he only said seriously: "Father-in-law, please tell me."

"That child, I met him at the temple fair last year. He is indeed somewhat similar to Ah Fu. They live in Jilong Alley and rarely come out, so we don't see them often here. If we meet, I'm afraid the rumors will soon spread. It spread."

Mr. Liang nodded and asked, "Father-in-law asks me to do anything, just tell me."

Master Hu said: "You can go there yourself, or send someone to bring the child back. After all, it is your brother's seed."

Mr. Liang just nodded, not feeling well in his heart. Although Mr. Hu got a grandson for nothing, it was not a happy event after all.

"That's fine, the son-in-law will arrange it now."

Mr. Liang was about to go out, but the old housekeeper just ran in and said, "Master, the child is here!"

Master Hu was taken aback for a moment, and asked randomly, "Which child is it? Is it that one?"

The old housekeeper just nodded vigorously: "That's right, it's the one at Old Man Yang's house in Jilong Hutong. It's in the living room right now, and the old lady has already greeted her personally."

It turned out that Hu Fu's family married a wife, who was also famously powerful, and Mr. Hu had a very strict family education, and he was not allowed to have three wives and four concubines.So this Hu Fu did all kinds of bad things outside, but he didn't dare to disobey at home. On the contrary, he was a little afraid of himself like Mr. Liang.
