Reborn I want to be a giant

Chapter 74

"Long time no see, Lord Xue." Xu Ye didn't answer the other party's question directly.

"How is Jiancheng Xu?"

"Lord Laoxue is concerned, father is well."

Before the banquet started, the two tacitly walked to a place where there were few people.

Xue Youzhi's series of courtesies originally included asking the other party where he lived, how long he stayed, and whether he had visited any places, but the obvious alienated attitude of the other party made him feel that it was unnecessary.Xu Ye is so smart, since he knew it was polite, how could he reveal anything seriously.As for the residence, it is not difficult to guess.

They were in a small garden of the Jing family at this time, Xue Youzhi's face was indifferent, and he pointed out: "This kind of thing is only common in Jiangnan..."

Xu Ye followed his gaze, and understood, "It's normal in the capital, but the relationship is not good." Taking the Xu family as an example, if Xu Ze held a banquet full of high-ranking officials, and sent out posts, unless he couldn't walk, he would basically I won't miss my appointment.But Xu would not do such a thing, there is no need.What's the point of drinking a lot of wine with each other's ghosts.

Most of the Beijing officials and clan relatives have this mentality, which is more realistic.

Xue Youzhi became interested, "Which one do you think is plausible?" Is it the purely superficial Beijing officialdom, or the Jiangnan officialdom with some geographical friendship.

Xu Ye raised his chin slightly in the left corridor, "What do I care about?"

Xue Youzhi turned his head, and when he saw the picture in the corridor, his face darkened.

There were two young officials and three elders over there, crying and laughing, holding each other's hands tightly, but because they spoke a dialect and spoke at a fast speed, it was not easy for them to hear what they were communicating with from a distance away.In fact, Xue Youzhi has been used to seeing it all these years, but the more he is like this, the more he cares.At the same time, he also understood the meaning of Xu Ye's words, the emperor would not like to see Jiangnan's officialdom like this.

"Be confident."

Unexpectedly, Guan Jing would show his emotions bluntly one day. Xu Ye thought it was funny, but he didn't say anything.

Because there was an "outsider" Xu Ye present at the banquet, the other guests restrained themselves after taking their seats.Xu Yequan pretended not to know, he should eat and drink, and when someone came to toast, he returned the gift, inquired about the court bureau and Xu Ze, and he handled it seamlessly.Only then did Xue Youzhi realize that he really underestimated the other party.

Xu is the eagle, and Xu Ye is the chick under his wings, with pure blood and a good growth environment.Under the stack of these unmatched conditions brought by Xu Ze, Xu Ye naturally possessed talent and fame.But after today, it is difficult for Xue Youzhi to easily define this boy.

What he said was superficial, but he only wanted to impress the impression of a dude who played with cats and dogs and played with birds and horses.Now Xue Youzhi began to doubt whether Xu Ze himself knew what his son was like.

"Nonsense." Jing Yuanjia cursed the servant who rushed to report something.

"What day is it today, who are these people? Don't look for trouble."

After the servants left in despair, Jing Yuanjia toasted everyone with a smile.It's just that this harmonious atmosphere didn't last long, and an unexpected guest came to the banquet hall.

Wu Ziqi stepped in with a few children from aristocratic families, saying perfunctorily, "Hello, elders." But her eyes swept over every seat politely, and finally stopped somewhere.

As soon as Xu Ye put a piece of fruit into his mouth, the small single table in front of him was kicked over.Of course, his ability to predict the crisis is excellent, and he avoided the soup splash first.

Jing Yuanjia stood up when Wu Ziqi made a move, angrily stepped forward to stop him, but it was still too late.Without scolding Wu Ziqi, she turned to Xu Ye first, "Is Master Xu all right?"

Xu Ye stood up with his usual expression, "It's nothing."

Jing Yuanjia didn't dare to relax, ordered someone to pull Wu Ziqi out, and then immediately cleaned up the mess and re-arranged a position to come out.But he obviously underestimated Wu Ziqi's unreasonable heart.The servants all knew that the other party was the young master of the Wu family, so who dared to use all their strength.

Wu Ziqi broke free from restraint two or three times, and punched Xu Ye, but she was thrown to the ground almost by mistake.It was Guang Zhi who had been wandering outside before making the shot.I saw that he didn't intend to let Wu Ziqi go, and just punched Wu Ziqi in the forehead.The beating made Wu Ziqi squirt blood, and those present who had never seen such a scene were stunned.

Xu Ye grabbed Guang Zhi, knelt down and patted Wu Ziqi's face, "Do you know what crime it is to attack a court official? If it is light, you will be imprisoned, exiled, or beheaded. Jinling is not a place outside the law." If Guang Zhi hadn't confiscated it Wu Ziqi's head was shattered after that punch.

Xue Youzhi didn't give Jing Yuanjia a chance to play tricks, he directly greeted the accompanying officials outside, and brought Wu Ziqi and a few children from aristocratic families who came to make trouble back to the yamen.

"Master Xue..." Jing Yuanjia suddenly realized that as an official, he couldn't do anything at the moment.

Xue Youzhi left without looking back, while Xu Ye leisurely walked up to Jing Yuanjia, "If I remember correctly, that should be the young master of the Wu family. The whole room was full of foreign officials... please tell me, Mr. Jing, is your Jing family dissatisfied with me or my father?"

Jing Yuanjia turned pale, "This matter has nothing to do with the Jing family."

Xu Ye didn't spend any more time talking with him, but Wu Ziqi's disturbance gave him a chance to leave early.

The Chinese New Year was coming soon, Jing Yuanze was so busy that he didn't even have time to pay attention to the family affairs.So when he learned what happened during the day, he was rarely bored.The trouble this time is different from that of my aunt, Xu Ye is by no means as talkative as Cheng Fu.Especially when he heard that Wu Ziqi was seriously injured by a punch, and now his life and death are still uncertain, Xue Youzhi allowed the Wu family to send a doctor in for treatment, but he didn't allow Wu Ziqi to leave the Yamen, so he knew that the Wu family had completely offended Xu Ye, and indulged Wu Ziqi to make trouble The Jing family must also be implicated.

"It's not that you said it has nothing to do with the Jing family, so it really has nothing to do with it." Jing Yuantian is the eldest son and the future head of the family. He assists their father in managing the Jing family's family affairs. He is away from Jinling for at least half a month in a month. Jing Yuanjia has been an official in Jiangzhou since he passed the Jinshi examination five years ago.Among the three brothers, only Jing Yuanze has been in Jinling, and he is the only one who knows the situation of the Jinling family best.

Master Jing Er's face was not good-looking, but he was much calmer than his sons. "Now let's find out how Wu Ziqi got in, who should be held accountable, and then explain to that Xu Hanlin. Also, no matter who it is, they must abide by the rules of the Jing family."

Cao felt sorry for his sons suffering from this innocent disaster, and hated everyone in the Wu family, "Isn't that right, the Wu family can come and go freely in our Jing family, what do you think?"

After explaining, Master Jing Er called Jing Yuanze outside.

"I heard that Xu Hanlin lives in Cheng's house. You have contacts with Cheng Fu on weekdays. Tomorrow, you should walk around first. Just accept any compensation you want."

Jing Yuanze took a look into the room first, and made sure that his mother and his two elder brothers were far away, and said to Master Jing Er, "Father, you don't have to worry too much. It's enough for the second elder brother to behave well, and Cheng Fu is easy to talk to." As long as The little girl made sense here, so Xu Ye probably wouldn't care too much about the Jing family.

Master Jing Er snorted coldly, "She is talkative? What happened to your cousin and aunt?"

"Father, if you were Cheng Fu, would you be able to bear this tone?" It's normal to protect one's shortcomings, but if right and wrong are not distinguished, what good will it do to oneself and the family?In the future, all the younger generations will follow suit, so the Jing family will lose face? "Besides, what Jing Yingyao did was not for my aunt." The matter of stealing something from him and giving it to Wu Zhenzhen still haunts him.

Master Jing Er was dissatisfied, "Why are you turning your elbows all the way out, what are you doing, do you want to marry Cheng Fu? Don't even think about it."

"Being old and disrespectful, I'll tell mother." Jing Yuanze made a gesture to turn around and go in to find Mrs. Cao.

"You...you come back!"

Jing Yuanze was dragged by him to go further away, "Are you good at anything other than being able to sue?"

"Father, Cheng Fu is only 12 years old, and he will only be thirteen after the new year. Don't say whether I have that kind of meaning, even if I do, if I have the surname Jing, I am doomed to fail."

Master Jing Er stared at his son's impatient face, "No prospect, you are you, your aunt is your aunt, if she is sensible, she should distinguish clearly."

Jing Yuanze saw that the second master Jing was going too far, so he hurriedly changed the topic, "Father, take this opportunity to dispose of all the slaves with multiple surnames who are hiding in our house. We'd better not get involved in the affairs of other families in the future."

"What do you mean?" Master Jing Er had never thought of this, so the younger son said this, which surprised him, and even his first thought was to beat him up.

"Father, Xue Youzhi has been in Jinling for a long time, who of you pulled him off?"

Master Jing Er was silent.

"I received news a while ago that Jinling is planning to come for a newcomer, and it's from the prince's side. Which of you dare to say that you know the prince better than the emperor? Dad, people can't be too greedy. The state owns the fortune of the country, and the family has the spirit of the family. If the second brother We still want to be this official, and the Jing family still wants to last for hundreds of generations, we have to make a choice now."

Jing Yuanze spoke earnestly, and Master Jing Er had a complicated look on his face.Before today, he had hardly thought about these questions.

"Is your news reliable?"

Jing Yuanze nodded, "Wu Ying told me."

Master Jing Er was surprised, "Wu Ying?" If it was news from that kid, he would really believe it.

"The crown prince's position is not stable. Once he makes a move against Jiangnan, no one can shake him from now on. Father, I told you this news, not to let you talk to other people, do you understand?" .

Master Jing Er was a little hard to accept, "Let me think about it."

Jing Yuanze didn't force him to make a choice right away, "It's still early, I'll go to Cheng's house. Please tell Second Brother not to worry too much."

"...Ah, good, you go."

At the same time, the Wu family slowly regained some sanity after learning that Wu Ziqi's injury was stable.Wu Lingzuo felt strange about Wu Ziqi's going to Jing's house to deal with Xu Ye. Although Wu Ziqi was not generous, she was very busy every day. In addition to studying, she had to study family affairs and meet friends who returned to Jinling from other places.As long as Xu Ye doesn't appear in front of his eyes, he won't be able to spare time to actively find fault.

So all the servants around Wu Ziqi were tortured that night.
