Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

Chapter 378 Concerns
At the banquet, there was good wine and good food, and many people were drunk. Uncle Xu was so drunk that he couldn't walk. He asked his son to carry him home, and kept mumbling, "What if I don't get married?" How great..."

Xu Huaixiao thought to himself, if he didn't get married, would Huaiyi be able to marry a daughter from a scholar's family if he acted like a slut?
Even so, they underestimated Gu Huanxi at first. They thought she only had a rich dowry, could read a few words, and had no other merits. Who would have thought that she would still have a treasure in her hands that could earn her a royal life.

Alas, let alone his father, even he has some regrets.

But he didn't dare to express his thoughts at all, for fear of adding salt to his father's wounds. His fourth uncle's mood was not quite right tonight either. He drank several glasses of wine and was obviously disappointed.

It can be said that the better Xu Huaiyi and his wife get along in the future, the more regretful and even regretful the Xu family will be.

Moreover, you have to endure the vaguely sympathetic looks from others.

Who wouldn’t laugh at them behind their backs?

Village Chief Xu was supported by his son and walked home unsteadily. He first hummed a few silly tunes, and then sighed, "Maoshan lost his composure tonight. It's no wonder. He originally had a mountain of gold and silver in his pocket. I have no worries about wealth and wealth in my life, but I just gave it away with my own hands. Who would it be that I wouldn’t feel bad if I changed it?”

Xu Changsong said, "It should be uncomfortable, but no one has the foresight. Just three years ago, who would have thought that Huaiyi would be as successful as he is now? Who would have thought that the Gu family would be as successful as it is today?"

If you really thought about it, the threshold of the Gu family would have been trampled long ago. How could it be the turn of the old Xu family?

Thinking of a few years ago, Village Chief Xu couldn't help but feel dazed for a moment. He found that he couldn't remember what Xu Huaiyi looked like before. All he could think of was his high-spirited features now. He couldn't help but say, "Things from the past, You are not allowed to mention it again, especially in front of Huaiyi, if there are people in the village who are mean-mouthed, keep an eye on them."

Xu Changsong was not stupid and nodded, "Don't worry, Dad, although we all are a little jealous and righteous, we admire him and appreciate him from the bottom of our hearts. No one will do anything to expose shortcomings."

There really is that one who doesn't have long eyes, just pull him out to establish his power.

Ever since Village Chief Xu took charge of the tofu shop, he devoted almost all his attention to it. Not only did he not take care of his family, but he also didn't put as much effort into the village affairs as before. After all, a person's energy is limited, so, He simply supported his eldest son.

Anyway, he had to hand over the position of village chief in the end, and the eldest son was in charge, so he felt relieved and the villagers were convinced.

Village Chief Xu patted him on the shoulder happily, "That's good. Remember what dad said, you must be good friends with Huaiyi."

Only in the future can the position of village chief be secure.

Xu Changsong responded helplessly.

His father had told him similar things countless times, but it was really difficult for him to rush to please Xu Huaiyi. He could get away with it, but he couldn't easily see anyone.

Seeing the expression on his eldest son's face, Village Chief Xu reminded him meaningfully, "Think about Hu Yingjie, he's already got there first."

It was a wonderful move to win over Gu's maid, but it was a pity that he didn't expect it and missed it.

Hearing this, Xu Changsong suddenly felt a sense of crisis. He did not dare to be perfunctory anymore and made a serious promise.

The same is true for several other companies.

The Gu family's life is getting better and better, who doesn't want to be as close as possible?
Xu Huaiyi also drank a lot, but fortunately he could hold on and sent away the guests, leaving only Sun Yongyan, the servants and guards who accompanied him.

The city gates were closed at this time, so he couldn't be allowed to live in the Sun family's villa on the outskirts of the city.

There are still many rooms in the house, and there are more than enough people to arrange for them. However, Sun Yongyan and Gu Xiaoyu "hate to meet each other late" and cherish each other. The more they talk, the more speculative they become. They wish they could "go out at night by candlelight" and have a long talk, so Xu Huaiyi simply let Sun Yongyan sleep. In his room, the Kang was very spacious, so it was no problem to sleep seven or eight people.

After settling in, Xu Huaiyi returned to the dormitory, took a shower in the RV, wiped his hair and came out, he was very surprised and sighed, "I didn't expect Xiaoyu and Yongyan to get along so well. I don't know, I thought they were two people." We have known each other for a long time, and we have truly fulfilled the saying that our heads are as old as before, and our hair is as white as new.”

Gu Huanxi was happy to see this happen, "It's a good thing to make friends. Moreover, based on the relationship between our two families, it's right for them to get closer, but the seniority is a bit awkward..."

Xu Huaiyi took off his shoes and went to bed, and said nonchalantly, "What's so awkward? It's just a title. What I'm really worried about is Xiaoyu's identity. If one day he is exposed in front of others, you say, the Sun family On the other side, will they suspect that we are deliberately hiding it and dragging them into joining the eldest prince’s camp?”

After asking, without waiting for Gu Huanxi's response, he couldn't help but murmur, "That would be troublesome. One day, if I can't argue with you, they will definitely suspect that I deliberately attracted Master Sun's attention and designed him to accept me as his disciple." Well, wouldn’t it mean that the relationship between master and disciple will darken in an instant?”

Gu Huanxi glared at him angrily, "Don't scare yourself. Did Xiaoyu tell us his identity clearly? No, he never tore the window paper from beginning to end. Everything was just speculation and testing between us, and he It’s just a roundabout admission, what are you doing with all this nonsense just to be exposed someday?”

Xu Huaiyi blinked, "In other words, we will never admit that we know Xiaoyu's identity, right? But what if others don't believe it? Master Sun is not easy to fool, let alone an old fox like Master."

Gu Huanxi rolled his eyes speechlessly, "So what? Do they have evidence?"

"But……"

"No but, the Sun family will believe it. After all, who can believe that a kid picked up on the road is a prince? We dare not make up such an outrageous plot in the storybook. We saw that Xiaoyu had no one to rely on, and he was smart and good-looking. Then he took it back to raise it himself and pass on the incense to the Gu family. As for other things, it is simply beyond the knowledge of us country people. We couldn't take it into consideration in the past. Now that we have feelings, we won't take the initiative to explore anything. Besides, Xiao A fish is trying to protect itself, so it won’t reveal its identity to others.”

Xu Huaiyi was enlightened, "You are right, what do I have to feel guilty about? I have to be confident. Everything is God's will and destiny. What does it have to do with me? I accept it passively and have never harmed anyone. It is also fate to worship Sun Yu as my teacher. It is mutual success. I am not rushing to win over the Sun family for Xiaoyu, and I can't win over either."

Gu Huanxi nodded, "That's right."

Xu Huaiyi laughed. He almost struggled to death over this matter before. He had an open temper and hated hiding things from his relatives and friends around him. He could not help but feel guilty. Now he is more open-minded.

Gu Huanxi frowned again, "Everyone in the Sun family must have seen Mr. Jiang sitting at the banquet tonight. He is famous, and there must be many people who have seen him. The Sun family will most likely recognize him. ”

Hearing this, Xu Huaiyi couldn't help but sit up straight, "Doesn't that mean that Mr. Jiang's seclusion here can no longer be concealed?"

Gu Huanxi glanced at him, "Shouldn't you be worried that Xiaoyu can't hide his identity as Mr. Jiang's closed disciple?"

Xu Huaiyi's eyes widened and he slapped his thigh fiercely, "Yes, if this thing comes out, wouldn't Xiaoyu be targeted by many people? Then can his identity be preserved?"

Gu Huanxi didn't know either. From what Xiaoyu meant, very few people in the capital had seen him. He rarely left the prince's mansion. Even in the mansion, not everyone knew what he looked like. Besides, almost a year later, he His appearance has also undergone some changes, his skin has become a healthy wheat color, his height has also grown a few fingers, and his originally thin body is now much taller and stronger. Furthermore, she also taught him how to put on makeup, which is like a hair-changing technique. As long as he doesn't admit it himself, it's impossible for others to recognize him.

But once the master-disciple relationship with Mr. Jiang is exposed, the risk will inevitably increase.

"Let's ask what Mr. Jiang meant later. He appeared in front of the Sun family today without hesitation. Maybe he doesn't want to live in seclusion anymore. Xiaoyu is his apprentice, so he should have other plans."

Xu Huaiyi sighed, "That's all we can do."

The next day, Xu Huaiyi went back to the college to attend classes, took Sun Yongyan with him and sent him home.

When the classmates learned that his daughter-in-law had been awarded the title of Liupin'an, they all congratulated and cheered for him to treat her.

Xu Huaiyi readily agreed, and arrangements were made at noon. Su Zhe was also called, and the location was set at Shuiyunxuan.

Seeing Su Zhe again, there was no unfamiliarity between the classmates and they were still laughing and playing as before.

Su Zhe didn't show up either, and even made some insults about himself, livening up the atmosphere.

After eating and saying goodbye to each other, Su Zhe said to Xu Huaiyi, "I've let the news out."

Xu Huaiyi understood immediately, "Can we find out what happened to you?"

Su Zhe said nonchalantly, "Even if we can't find out, my father, Su Rui, and Su Xuan will think it was me. The evidence is not important."

"Then you will bite your tongue and refuse to admit it."

Su Zhe smiled and said, "I understand. I won't let anything slip."

Xu Huaiyi patted him on the shoulder, "Then I'll wait for your good news."

Su Zhe said, "I won't let you down."

After returning to the academy, he paid attention to this matter. Before he heard any gossip about the Su family, he was called by Sun Yu.

Although the master and apprentice met every day, there were not many opportunities to sit down and talk seriously. Xu Huaiyi was busy, and Sun Yu seemed to have no time to spare. Apart from teaching, he was rarely seen in the college during the rest of the time.

Although Xu Huaiyi was curious, he had never inquired. Just like Sun Yu, he would not keep an eye on his every move. This kind of relationship seemed not close enough, but they kept the distance and left enough space, making each other more comfortable.

Sun Yu picked up the cup and took a sip of tea. His eyes fell on the apprentice opposite him. He first casually asked a few questions about yesterday's rewards and orders, and then said abruptly, "Did you have dinner with Su Zhe at noon? The recent hit. That tabletop Cuju game, I heard it was created by you two again?”

Xu Huaiyi was surprised. He thought he would ask about Jiang Yong. Who would want to turn the tables on Su Zhe, "Yes, master, are you interested? I'll send you some pictures later..."

Sun Yu was not polite and nodded, "Su Zhe is a good businessman. You can't lose money by partnering with him. Judging from his performance in the past six months, he is still sincere and reliable, but the Su family behind him..."

After a pause, he continued, "Although Su Jian appreciates Su Zhe's talent and ability in business, he does not support him as the head of the family. Although the Su family has always had the rule that legitimate sons and common sons compete for the top position based on their own abilities, but In fact, almost every head of the family is a legitimate son."

Xu Huaiyi said, "Well, my disciples have also heard of it. Speaking of it, this is also the hypocrisy of the Su family. It not only gave the bastards hope and gave birth to their ambitions, but secretly eliminated their opportunities to compete and cut off their ideas. Too That’s cruel, aren’t legitimate sons and concubines both descendants of the Su family?”

Sun Yu said, "Although they are all descendants of the Su family, there is a huge difference between the direct descendants and the common descendants. There are unwritten rules for high-ranking and powerful families and large families. The eldest son can inherit 70% of the family business, and the title is also passed on to the legitimate son. Su House rules can only be found in merchant homes, and..."

"And what?"

Sun Yu smiled meaningfully, "Besides, those rules are also for training the legitimate son, not really for fair competition."

Xu Huaiyi said clearly, "Let the concubine serve as a whetstone for the legitimate son?"

Sun Yu said "hmm" and reminded again, "So, Su Zhe doesn't have much hope of becoming the head of the family."

Xu Huaiyi blinked, "Master, are you worried that I will get involved and work in vain?"

Sun Yu asked, "Isn't it?"

Xu Huaiyi chuckled, "I didn't get involved much, I just gave some ideas on the side. It was all out of friendship. You can't let your friends stand by and watch when something difficult happens to them, right?"

Sun Yu chuckled, "You haven't gotten involved much yet? Why does Su Zhe have the confidence to compete for the position of president and head of the family? One of the reasons is that he is ambitious, and the other is because of you!"

Xu Huaiyi did not take the blame. He opened his eyes wide and shouted that he was wronged, "Master, my disciple has never provoked him, let alone given him any hint."

Sun Yu said, "You don't need to cajole or hint. You cooperate with him to make him show his face in front of the second prince. Having a place is a threat to Su Rui's position. Su Rui used to be able to tolerate Su Zhe, but now he just wants to Get rid of it quickly. He was assassinated a few days ago. Wasn't it Su Rui's fault? "

Xu Huaiyi could not refute and listened to the instructions honestly.

Sun Yu continued, "Su Rui and other descendants of the Su family are pressing forward step by step. Su Zhe has no way out and has no choice but to fight for it. He arranged a marriage for himself with the Zhao family and set his sights on the position of president of the Chamber of Commerce. Now In order to go all out and cut off all escape routes, he didn’t even come to the academy. What does this mean? It means that he can only win, but he can’t lose, but what do you think his chances of winning are?"

Xu Huaiyi shook his head.

Sun Yu said, "With your master in the position of president, the second prince is wary and most likely will not interfere. After all, in his eyes, they are all descendants of the Su family. The Su family is used by him. It doesn't make much difference who is in the position." In the past six months, Su Zhe has actually done several beautiful businesses with you as a noble person here, so if he really wants to compete based on his ability, he still has hope..."

Then, he changed the subject, "But the premise is that Su Jian doesn't suppress him. No matter how capable he is, a word of filial piety can suppress him from holding his head up. For example, if Su Jian wants that position, he will be his son." Can he still compete with his father? If word spreads, he will no longer have a foothold in the capital."

"It's undoubtedly a joke to worry about the identity of the head of the Su family when you can't sit as the president of the Chamber of Commerce."
