The judge of the Jinyuan shook his head and said vaguely: "My eldest son, Mr. Ge needs to be quiet."
"Oh." Xu Yuanchun understood.
After the Jinyuan judge put away the needle and resigned, Xu Yuanchun also said softly: "Grandpa, have a good sleep."
"Go home." Xu Jie hissed: "Leave now"
"The Imperial Physician Jin said that grandpa is sick due to shortness of breath, heart attack, and emotions. He should rest in bed as much as possible and don't move." Xu Yuanchun reminded in a low voice.
"Let's go!" Xu Jie slapped the bed board and said there was no room for negotiation.
"Okay, Grandpa, don't worry, arrangements will be made for your grandson right away." Xu Yuanchun shed tears and quickly went out to order people to prepare for the funeral.
The three cabinet ministers and Teng Xiang were also in the courtyard. After asking about the situation, Zhang Juzheng reminded him in a deep voice: "How to carry your father-in-law? You need a sedan chair."
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Lifting the throne is a chair plus two lifting poles. It's not that Mr. Xu Ge couldn't afford to sit in the sedan chair, but that the rules in the Forbidden City were strict and officials could only walk on foot as a rule. Sitting and raising the father-in-law are all the emperor's favor to the elders of the country.
?? Mr. Xu Ge is now half-dead. Should he be carried out for exhibition on a carriage?
Teng Xiang also said enthusiastically: "The Chief of Ceremonies has a sedan chair!"
Then he ordered his chamberlain to quickly remove the seats from the sedan chair he was riding in when he left the palace, put a mattress on it and then carry it over.
It¡¯s a good job and the sedan chair is ready. The four of them also told Xu Yuanchun to take good care of the chief assistant, and then evaded it first.
It is estimated that the old man just wants to be quiet now and does not want to see any of them.
Xu Yuanchun and his attendants carried Mr. Xu Ge out with his blanket, settled him in the sedan, then got up and left the palace
At this time, it was less than three hours since Mr. Xu Ge entered the palace, and it was just lunch time.
??Watching Elder Ge's sedan from a distance, disappearing in the direction of Donghua Gate.
The three bachelors all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Even people like Teng Xiang know that Mr. Xu Ge¡¯s career as prime minister is basically coming to an end today.
"Hey, what a misfortune." Eunuch Teng flicked his fly whisk, cupped his hands towards the three bachelors and said, "I'm going to rely on you three now."
The three of them all smiled bitterly and did not answer.
How do you respond? You can't laugh out loud, can you?
??~~
West Chang'an Street, the Prime Minister's Residence.
The sun is shining brightly today, and Xu Fan finally comes out of the shadows.
Although there were bruises on his face, he already had a smile.
Mrs. Ji also breathed a sigh of relief and ordered her servants to set the dining table in the courtyard, where she and her husband could enjoy the long-lost leisure time with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers and the gurgling water.
"Come on, madam, let's do it."
Mr. Xiaoge held the wine glass, touched it lightly with Mr. Ji, and said apologetically: "My husband is not feeling well these days. Thank you, madam, for taking care of me."
"Hey, that's all, it's over. Don't make grudges with others in the future." Mrs. Ji stopped quarreling with him, twirling her wine glass and said, "They all say 'harmony brings wealth'. This is true. You said that if you How nice would it be not to be angry?"
"Why did you bring that up again?!" Xu Fan was unhappy when he heard this. He put down his wine glass and said angrily: "Did I provoke them?"
"Isn't it?!" Mrs. Ji also darkened her face.
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, they heard a noise at the backyard door.
The couple followed the sound and saw the group of people who had entered the palace with Mr. Xu Ge in the morning, surrounded by people carrying a large sedan chair, returning dejectedly.
Xu Yuanchun also followed with a sad look on his face.
¡°What¡¯s wrong?!¡± The couple quickly stood up and went to meet him. "Come back so soon?"
"Grandpa, he" Xu Yuanchun burst into tears.
"Ah!" Xu Fan's eyes darkened, thinking that something had happened to the old man.
Fortunately, the long-term follower was quite smart and quickly stepped forward to explain the situation in a low voice.
Of course, he had no way of knowing the bullet from the second master.
"Oh, okay, okay" Hearing that the old man just fainted, Mr. Xiaoge breathed a sigh of relief and glared at Xu Yuanchun.
"I thought something was wrong, let's see what I doPick you up! "
He quickly carried Mr. Xu Ge into the bedroom, and after he was settled properly, Xu Fan came out with a dark face and looked at Xu Yuanchun coldly.
Xu Yuanchun couldn't help but shuddered, and his buttocks began to hurt slightly.
"What's going on?!" Mr. Xiao Ge shouted and asked, "It's fine when you go out!"
"It's the second grandpa"
¡°Second uncle? What¡¯s wrong with him?!¡±
Xu Yuanchun quickly told his father what he saw and heard.
After hearing this, Mr. Xiaoge's eyes darkened again, his face changed several times before he stabilized his figure, took out the feather duster, and roared: "I'll beat you to death, you idiot!"
Xu Yuanchun was so frightened that he squatted on the ground with his head in his hands. After a while, he realized that his father was not hitting him, but a picture of "Xiyuan Summertime" hanging on the wall.
What is painted above is the scene of Xuge Lao Ding enjoying family happiness with his children at home when he was worried.
The most conspicuous part of the scroll is the figures of brothers Xu Jie and Xu Zhi, sitting on the Arhat bed and playing chess leisurely.
Xu Fan¡¯s feather duster was whipped more than ten times in a row, beating Xu Zhi¡¯s portrait to pieces. Of course, accidental injuries were unavoidable, and Mr. Xu Ge's face was hit completely.
??~~
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Xuge Lao had been lying there for three days and three nights without eating a grain of rice or touching a drop of water Finally, he was so thirsty that he couldn't stand it anymore and drank some water in his son's arms.
"Father, don't be too sad. There may be some misunderstanding here." Xu Fan comforted his father softly.
It has only been three days, but the rosy-faced and energetic Mr. Xu Ge has already sunken eyes and a withered appearance.
Now, even if he is said to be 80 years old, some people believe him.
"There is no misunderstanding. He has hated me all his life." Xu Jie rolled out a drop of turbid tears from his left eye socket and murmured: "My younger brother is better at reading than me, but he has been spoiled by your grandma since he was a child. That's You can¡¯t afford any loss.¡±
"In the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing's reign, your second uncle went to Beijing to take the examination. The examiner at that time was Sun Yizhai, my close friend from the same hometown, so I hope he can take the exam again three years later."
Xu Fan nodded. Sun Yizhai was Sun Chengen. He was the minister of the Ministry of Rites. Not only was he close to the Xu family, but the two families were also related by marriage.
And at that time, my father had just ended his years of wandering and was promoted back to Beijing by Xia Yan, the chief assistant.
At that time, the struggle between Xia Yan and Yan Song had reached a fever pitch, and if anything went wrong, they would become victims of political struggle again.
Therefore, given my father¡¯s cautious character and unwillingness to cause trouble, it is completely understandable.
In fact, a few years later, the imperial court decided to make Xu Fan the prefect of Changsha, and all the officials issued letters of appointment. However, Mr. Xu Ge refused abruptly and asked the court to arrange for him to be reassigned to a casual position in Beijing.
But Xu Fan can understand his father, but Xu Zhi cannot understand his brother
"Your second uncle disagreed and insisted on participating in the competition. In the end, he ranked among the top 250. This ranking is not bad, but he was arrogant and always thought he had the talent of number one. Later, I heard from somewhere He said that he originally ranked fifth in the exam, but his father instructed Sun Yizhai to knock him down to fifty places to avoid suspicion."
"It turned out that he blamed his father for failing to be elected as a Shujishi. He thought that I was jealous of him and was afraid that he would win the first prize in the imperial examination, so he had his ranking lowered. At that time, he kept arguing with me all day long. , forced me to promise again and again that after the end of my political watch, I would definitely give him a good official position, and then I calmed down a little bit."
"Unexpectedly, the next year, my mentor Xia Guixi was abandoned. As my mentor's beloved disciple, I was also in danger. Your second uncle was somehow implicated and was assigned to the Nanjing Pingren Division, which no ghost would want to go to." Xu The step leader sighed and said:
"Now he completely hated me. He went home and cried to his mother, causing the wife to become seriously ill. He also wrote a letter calling his father worse than a beast"
ps: Friendly reminder: At that time, I called him "Section Chief", not a random word. Let¡¯s put it this way, I have carefully chosen the words and phrases used in the dialogues between the characters. Before you find it strange, you might as well search it on Baidu first. Well, if it¡¯s not available on Baidu, I won¡¯t be able to use it. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
