Chapter 172
"Master, there are two greeting cards."

Yan Gu's old entourage respectfully handed him the invitation from the concierge.

Yan Gu was warming his hands with the newly bought anthracite at home from Xujiazhuang, and then suspiciously accepted the invitation from his old entourage.

The people came together, but they handed over two copies of the greeting card. It was not the first time this kind of incident happened, but it was the first time that he found it difficult to handle.

One is the son of Gongsun's concubine, the third master's family, and the other is a new celebrity under General Gongsun who is in charge of the three counties.

The newly promoted celebrity, the uncle of the Great Confucian clan sent someone to sternly warn him not to meet him.

Otherwise, scholars all over the world probably think that they are afraid of that reckless Gongsun Zan.

As for Gongsun An, he had already heard from Gongsun Yuan, and it was not easy to see him.

It's just that the uncle of the clan has the status of a great Confucian, so he is not afraid of offending others. He is a white body who resigned from office and returned to his hometown, but he still can't offend someone like Xu Da.

Yan Gu hesitated, and the time went from noon to mid-afternoon.

Xu Da seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and asked Old Wutou and He Zeng to take out the straw mat charcoal basin on the carriage.

Spread the straw mats on the ridge in front of the house, place the warm charcoal basin, set up a small table, boil hot tea, and while drinking tea, tell my daughter about the deeds of the great Confucian in the Yan clan in his early years.

In Xu Da's words, Gongsun An is just a fool.

So as a simple person, I didn't feel a little anxious when I came to ask for a meeting but couldn't get started.

Seeing that Xu Da looked like he was coming for an outing, he who was still a little nervous immediately relaxed.

Relying on his work in the county government office, he has heard many anecdotes and strange things, so he naturally told stories to Xu Yue.

Uncle Rong, who was sent by the Xu family to watch over Gongsun'an, looked at the leisurely two big and one small in front of him, and was so anxious that he could only circle around in front of the gate of Yan's house.

Old Wutou looked familiar, and kindly comforted him: "Housekeeper Rong, come and have a cup of hot tea together, it's still cold, drink a cup of tea to warm up, let's wait slowly, the master of the Yan family may have something to do If it is delayed, it will always come out when it is free."

Since it is a protracted war, we must preserve our strength.

Old Wutou, who has followed Xu Da to block the gate many times with this "shameless and invincible" method, thought calmly.

Xu Yue was discussing with her father the possibility that she could abduct a Yan family member back to Zhuangzi, when the tightly closed door of the Yan family opened slowly with a creak.

Yan Gu's old attendant walked out of the gate, and when he looked up, he saw Mr. Xu Dazhong sitting on the field sill at the gate, drinking tea leisurely.

This is completely different from the imaginary anxious pacing and eager expression!

Thinking of the killing of the Bohai Great Confucianism, the old attendant was shocked, and looking at the young man holding his teacup and turning his head to smile at him, he couldn't help feeling that this great general was really different from the new celebrity.

The old attendant came over, bowed his hands first, and then returned the greeting card.

Old Wutou took it, and he, who had just learned a few words, recognized at a glance that it was his master's greeting card that was returned, and his expression suddenly became a little ugly.

Xu Da waved his hand, waved away the old black head, led his daughter, and led Gongsun An over.

The old attendant smiled awkwardly: "Please invite Young Master Gongsun into the mansion."

Gongsun An looked at Xu Da in surprise: "Cousin, let's go in!"

Xu Da nodded, holding his daughter and going into the mansion with Gongsun An, the old follower saw it and was shocked, what kind of operation is this?
He obviously returned the greeting card to Xu Da, why did he still follow?

But Xu Da didn't look at his surprised old face at all, and just followed Gongsun An into the mansion together.

When the old attendant came to his senses and tremblingly rushed forward to intercept him, Xu Da pointed at Gongsun An and said solemnly:
"I'm with my cousin, what's wrong?"

The implication is that I am not using my name Xu Qingyang, I am just a supporting role following my cousin.

Seeing Xu Da's indifferent face, the old attendant was dumbfounded, I didn't expect you to be like Xu Da!

Xu Da smiled at him, then took his daughter and walked away on his own.

It was Yan Gu who reacted quickly. Hearing the servant's report, he knew that Xu Da had squeezed in and brought a daughter with him, so he hurriedly called the old mother and asked her to go and take care of him.

After all, he really didn't dare to offend Xu Da to death, since he had already entered the mansion, if he made an act of driving him away, Xu Da might turn out to make him look good.

I haven't seen the prefect of Hejian before, but Xu Da threw him into the toilet for an hour-long personality humiliation just because he made things difficult for Xu Da before he made a fortune?

Xu Da himself probably didn't know this statement.

If he knew, he would definitely throw this bastard who spread rumors and slandered him into the pigsty to feed the pigs!
As soon as Xu Yue followed her father to the gate of the second courtyard, an old woman who was seven or eight points similar to the second wife Yan came to meet her.

Judging by age, she is more than ten years older than the second wife. If there is no accident, this should be Yan's old mother, Yu Shi.

Old women in their 60s are rare in this era. They are used to being pampered. Coupled with their advanced age, their actions seem a little slow.

Supported by the two daughters-in-law, she wobbled towards Xu Yue.

As expected of Yan's mother, the two of them had the same face, and they both looked equally gloomy, like witches who specialize in catching children in ghost stories.

Although she tried her best to show a kind smile and waved to Xu Yue, she was not as kind as the two ladies beside her with downcast eyes.

Fortunately, Xu Yue was not an ordinary child, and she didn't shrink back because of the old lady's appearance. She stepped forward, blessed her, and gave her name.

"Master is already waiting in the study, you two adults can rest assured, we will take good care of Miss."

Yu's eldest daughter-in-law said with her head in her mouth, she never raised her head from the beginning to the end.

Xu Da looked at Xu Yue worriedly, and Xu Yue smiled at her father, expressing that she was fine, Xu Da and Gongsun An then left.

After the men left, the three women were obviously relieved, and they were much more at ease, and dared to raise their heads to look at Xu Yue.

Seeing that she was dressed in weird ways, but upon careful observation, she could see the exquisiteness and preciousness of the clothes, so she frowned in confusion.

"What does Yue'er like to eat? Caramel or pastries?"

Yu's second daughter-in-law came to hold Xu Yue's hand, lowered her head and asked with a smile.

Children only make choices, Xu Yue sweetly replied: "Both~"

"Uh..." The second daughter-in-law obviously didn't expect it, she was taken aback for a moment, then she nodded with a smile and asked the servants who followed her to prepare.

Xu Yue followed them to the backyard, where the walls were built very high and a few big trees were planted. The courtyard that should have looked spacious was cramped and gloomy.

Xu Yue thought at the time, if women lived in such a place all their lives, would they suffer from depression?

Thinking of the only second lady's courtyard that I have been to once, it seems to be so dark and suffocating.

Xu Yue immediately rejoiced that her cousin was not punished by this rich lady for abiding by the rules.
