Don't panic, the family boss is busy farming

Chapter 134 Naked Ambition
When Xu Da returned to Wubao, it was at noon when the sun was the hottest.

The scorching sun hangs high in the sky, the sky is blue and windless, and it is stuffy and hot. It seems that a layer of dryness and depression has condensed over the entire Wubao sky, which cannot be dissipated. Even the air is dirty.

Gongsun's Wubao built two gates inside and outside by taking advantage of the surrounding mountains.

The inner ring is the private houses of Gongsun Yan and Gongsun Yu, and there are watchtowers around them, which can survey the situation in the whole Ubud at any time.

The outer ring covers a very large area, with fields all over it, and it is the place where tenants live.

The entire Ubud is a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack with the help of the mountain.

In the event of an emergency, the two doors are closed at the same time. Even if the outer door is lost, the strong inner door can be consumed by the invading enemies until reinforcements arrive.

However, the premise of this is that the owner of this ubau can know how to use this advantage and always make the most appropriate decision.

Xu Da rode in from the outer door, but the guard at the door was gone, only an old man with dim eyesight was watching the door.

Xu Da passed by, but he didn't even look at it, just stared at something, as if in a daze.

Gongsun Yue's death cast a shadow of death on the whole Ubud. White mourning banners hung high in Ubud, and the second-bedroom house was already in a mess.

When Xu Dama passed by the gate of the second room, he saw many people gathered at the gate, everyone's face was full of anger and fear, and they were shoving and clamoring with the guards of the second room.

It seems that the fact that the second lady Yan's hiding of the plague-infected slaves has been exposed, and people who feel the threat of death are driven by anger and come to trouble the master's family.

Xu Da only cast a glance, then walked past calmly.

When passing by the front of the three-bedroom mansion, the closed door suddenly opened a crack, the butler Uncle Rong poked his head out from inside, and called Xu Da in a low voice.

"Guan Xu, you are back, the master has been waiting for you for a long time!"

Xu Da reined in his horse and turned his head to look, and saw Gongsun Yu and Xu's couple standing behind Uncle Rong, looking at him anxiously.

Xu Da got off his horse and came to the gate.

Uncle Rong let him in, but Xu Da didn't go in.

Uncle Rong said anxiously: "The owner's family next door found out, and now the tenants are already making trouble, it's not safe for you to stay on the farm, quickly bring your children here."

Gongsun Yu and Xu Shi nodded again and again, their expressions of worry did not seem to be fake.

Xu Dachong and his wife saluted. Different from the anxious mood of the two elders, Xu Dachong was as calm as if the plague had never broken out in Wubao.

Thinking that his aunt had taken in many slaves before, Xu Da tentatively asked:
"Is your aunt's house okay?"

Knowing what he meant, Uncle Rong hurriedly said in a low voice, "I sent them away a long time ago. I got the news from the second bedroom this morning. The master's family was anxious and afraid, and ordered someone to fumigate the inside and outside of the courtyard and sprinkle vinegar. "

Xu Da rubbed his nose, no wonder he always felt a strange smell wafting into his nose, sour and astringent, almost thought it was the smell of sweat from Uncle Rong who hadn't bathed for a long time.

Uncle Rong didn't know that Xu Da thought of him so much, he looked back at the two masters standing behind him, got their reminders, and said to Xu Da:
"Guan Xu, I heard that Miss Yue'er was also infected with the plague, but is it true?"

Xu Da nodded, and waved his hand again, "The young lady has woken up, but she is not fully recovered yet, so she is inconvenient to move, so my nephew appreciates the kindness of my aunt and aunt."

"Don't worry, if it's really a last resort, my nephew will definitely come to disturb you."

When Mrs. Xu heard this, she glanced at her husband, saw that he didn't say anything, and thought she agreed to bring Xu Yue, who had been infected with the plague, to the house, so she nodded at Xu Da, and told him to take good care of her family, and didn't persuade him any more.

He just asked vaguely: "Xu Da, if Yue'er can wake up, is that the prescription left by Doctor Gu?"

Xu didn't say everything, but there was no need to say everything, Xu Da knew what Auntie meant just by looking at it.

He first looked at the house that had been smoked with wormwood and vinegar, thinking that after all, there were slaves who might be sick here, and now that no one in the family has symptoms, it doesn't mean they are not infected.

After thinking about it, he beckoned Uncle Rong to come closer, and told them the antidote that Xu Yue and Tech Tree had exchanged, and asked them to drink it as a precaution.

And said to Xu and Gongsun Yu: "With the strength of my aunt, these medicinal materials should be able to prepare a lot, right?"

Gongsun Yu, who had been silent all this time, finally answered him this time, and Fox asked, "What do you mean?"

Xu Da glanced at the second room, and then smiled meaningfully at the couple. Those deep eyes revealed naked ambition!

When Gongsun Yu and Mrs. Xu saw Xu Da like this suddenly, their hearts skipped a beat.

There was no words between the two sides, but everything seemed to have been clarified again.

The second wife Yan's management of the back house was harsh. Except for the eldest son Gongsun Yue, Gongsun Yan had only two daughters born from the concubine.

Now that Gongsun Yue is dead, the second wife has no successor.

According to ancient rituals, Gongsun Yan either let his eldest grandson inherit the family business, or he found a child to adopt him under the name of a brother next to him.

Gongsun Yue's health has always been poor. After ten years of marriage, there is only one prostitute daughter who is two years older than Gongsun Yun, and one concubine's youngest son.

And this youngest son from a concubine, like his father, is a medicine jar, whether he can grow up to adulthood smoothly is very much in doubt.

Calculated in this way, according to the general situation, the big house Gongsun Yuan and Gongsun Yan in Yuyang County are brothers of the same mother. If they are adopted, the first choice will definitely be selected from the sons of Gongsun Yuan's family.

But it was not for nothing that Xu Da worked as an accountant in the second room for a few months. The brothers Gongsun Yuan and Gongsun Yan were not as harmonious as outsiders seemed.

It is true that one mother is a compatriot, but this does not affect the two brothers who are not used to each other.

The first room took the official position, but the second room always felt dissatisfied.

It happened that the top had to manage things, so the second room had to send money to the big room every month for them to take care of things.

It's just that in this corrupt dynasty, no amount of silk cloth is enough. If things go on like this, Erfang complains that his elder brother makes things difficult for him, and even scolds himself for being worthless and ignorant of officialdom.

Da Fang also felt that his younger brother was disobedient, holding the money in his hand but not using it for himself. It was obvious that the money belonged to the family members, but the second house counted it as his own. He felt that his younger brother was becoming more and more selfish and disregarding the overall situation.

Xu Da had once heard that these two brothers, who were over half a century old, quarreled in the study to the point where they almost drew their swords and killed each other.

These two have a deep grudge.

Xu Dachong's aunt and uncle raised their eyebrows. He had already pointed out the road for them. It was up to them whether they wanted to go this way.
