Idle courtiers

Chapter 391 The way between men and men
After arriving at Xu Jie's mansion, Zhou Nan sent a famous assassin to see him.

The concierge naturally knew him, and knew that Mr. Zhou was a celebrity in front of Xu Xiang before, so his attitude was very affectionate.He said: "Master Zhou came by coincidence. Xu Xiang happened to be off duty in Xiyuan today, so Shen Shi went back to the residence. Otherwise, I'm afraid you will make a futile trip. I will report to Xu Xiang right away, please wait."

After finishing speaking, he took the post in with a smile.

After a while, the porter came out and said in a low voice: "My lord, Xu Xiang is reading a book and doesn't want to be disturbed. Let you wait in the porter now, and let you in to talk after he finishes reading."

"Okay, Zhou Nan is waiting here." Zhou Nan nodded, went into the concierge and sat down on a chair.

Menzi hurriedly asked someone to make tea and serve it.

After waiting for an hour, Zhou Nan had already drank his tea, feeling impatient, and asked: "Sir, what book is Xu Xiang reading, why haven't you finished it yet?"

He looked up and looked outside the house, it was already dark.

"Master Zhou, Xu Xiang is reading "Zihui" and copying word by word, so don't worry." Menzi was also surprised, knowing that Zhou Nan was very popular in Xu's residence before.Every time he comes over, no matter how busy Xu is, he will meet him as soon as possible.

It's really weird to leave him here for an hour today.

I also remembered that Zhou Nan hadn't come here for more than a month, and felt that something was wrong.

Hearing Menzi's words, Zhou Nan stood up angrily. "Zihui" is a dictionary. Old man Xu read the dictionary and copied it word by word. This clearly means that he knows that I have something to ask him, and he has to make it right.

This old tortoise is really hateful.

No, I can't let old man Xu torment me like this.

It doesn't matter to toss me, I'm afraid to toss until the end, Xu Jie said that he was tired from reading, and asked Zhou Nan to come back tomorrow, then this person would be disappointed.

Zhou Nan decided to make a fuss.

So what should I do? This concierge has a pretty good relationship with me, so I can't even bother him!

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a sedan chair parked outside the gate, and someone shouted again: "The elder is back."

The grand master of the Xu family is naturally Xu Jie's eldest son, Xu Fan, who is Ah Jiu's father.I used to participate in politics in a province before, but was dismissed from my post because of something bad and recuperated at home.Xu Jie got Yan Song, and after taking over the power, he intended to find him a good job.

But a while ago, Xu Jie and Gao Gong were fighting for the position of the chief assistant of the cabinet. In order to avoid controversy between the government and the opposition, this matter will not be discussed.

It is estimated that Xu Fan is also aggrieved.

The sedan chair stopped, and a handsome middle-aged man in his forties came out from inside.

This man was born with sparse eyebrows and bright eyes. He was a handsome old man, and his face vaguely had the shadow of Ah Jiu.

The porter hurried up to meet him and was about to speak.Suddenly, a shadow behind him took a step forward, cupped his hands and said: "My son-in-law has seen Mr. Taishan."

Cold sweat dripped from Menzi's forehead.

That's right, this person is exactly Zhou Nan who is waiting in the house.

At the same time, Menzi was also puzzled, when did Lord Zhou become the son-in-law of the Grand Master, isn't he already married?

Could it be that Xu Xiang appreciates Zhou Nan's talent and writing, and wants to give him a granddaughter as a concubine?In the past, the Prime Minister would have promised Ah Jiu to Yan Song's grandson, so it's not surprising that he did such a thing.

However, at that time, Yan Song was so powerful that Xu Xiang couldn't force him to do so.

Mr. Zhou is an official as big as a sesame mung bean, Xiang Xu will not ruin his reputation just to win over him!
Weird, weird!

Seeing Zhou Nan rushing out of the gatehouse and calling him father-in-law in front of so many people, Xu Fan was startled at first.Then his face turned purple with anger: "Shut up, you traitorous villain, you dare to come here today with the cheek, what is your intention?"

Zhou Nan: "My son-in-law is busy with business, and I haven't visited the house for a month. I miss him very much, so I came to visit Mr. Xu and Mr. Yuezhang."

Hearing him talk about this matter, I was afraid that Zhou Nan would talk about the scandal of Ah Jiu's pregnancy.Xu Fan was furious: "You bastard surnamed Zhou, you're not going to let him die, come here, throw him out!"

The concierge rushed to pull Zhou Nan's arm: "Master Zhou, please!"

But he didn't want to be staggered by Zhou Nan.

Zhou Nankang said in a loud voice: "Master Yue Zhang, I know that I have a low status and you don't like me. However, Miss has a deep affection for me, and Zhou Nan will never abandon her. No one can separate us, and neither can you. If the father-in-law does not agree, the son-in-law will not offend you. Today we will solve the problem between men and men, Lord Taishan please!"

As he spoke, he pinned the hem of his clothes to his belt, and made a gesture of invitation with fists.

This is to make friends with myself, to be a dignified scholar, to participate in politics in a province and fight with others like a reckless man, is it reasonable?Xu Fan was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and kept yelling, "Someone is here, someone is here, hit me!"

All the servants looked at each other, not knowing what to do?
Although their status is humble, the prime minister's family is a seventh-rank official, and they still have basic political literacy.Mr. Zhou is an official of the imperial court of the sixth rank, representing the face of the imperial court, how can he be beaten?

If we start to act later and this matter spreads, the papers of impeachment of the Prime Minister will flood the cabinet early tomorrow morning.The speech officials at Yushitai are all vultures. How can you see the smell of blood and impeach the cabinet minister? That is a great political achievement.

Seeing that his family refused to do anything, Xu Fan was furious.

While they were making noise, suddenly, a man who looked like a butler ran out in a hurry.Then smiled and bowed to Zhou Nan: "Master Zhou, Xu Xiang has finished his studies, please go in and talk."

Zhou Nan sneered in his heart, if I hadn't made such a fuss, you, old tortoise, would probably still hold me for an hour.He deliberately asked: "Have you finished reading Xu Xiang's book? Didn't you mean that the old man is copying the dictionary? How can there be such a fast one? I don't want to disturb the officials, so let's wait here first."

The butler felt embarrassed: "It's over, it's over, Mr. Zhou please."

Zhou Nan nodded: "The housekeeper, please lead the way."

The housekeeper turned his head and waved to everyone. Xu Fan had already calmed down, and shouted at everyone in a sharp voice: "No one is allowed to mention what happened just now, otherwise the family law will follow."

He is not a kind person, he was fierce and domineering in his hometown of Songjiang when he was young, and not one or two of his servants were maimed by him.In the real history, after the Xu family father and son failed in the political struggle and were dismissed and returned home, Xu Fan ran rampant in the village, causing some troubles, which caused the local officials a headache.

Under the leadership of the butler, they walked only two steps to a cool hall. Xu Jie was writing. He stopped and looked at Zhou Nan sharply.

It is only fifty or sixty steps away from the gate.Obviously, every move by the concierge fell into the eyes of Xu Jie.

Zhou Nan scolded the old fox in his heart, and stepped forward to salute: "Your official, Zhou Nan, has met Xu Xiang."
