Chapter 28 Chapter 99 Professionals Who Recognize Their Ancestors

Xie Chuanzhong was holding a top-quality Mongolian stone flower with a twenty-column bill of one tael, and asked with a smile: "Autumn is coming soon, have you prepared all the annual gifts for the Duke?" There are still two things missing, master, don't worry, you can't miss the time, you don't have to worry about buying things, it's just that the top grades are hard to find, and the concubine has a heart! A pretty woman responded with a smile, and walked to his side with a pretty willow. This woman is only seventeen or eighteen years old, with willow eyebrows and almond eyes, a graceful figure, and rosy skin. The whole person is like a ripe peach, and water will flow out with a light pinch.

This woman was originally a red girl from Bichuntang in Yanjing City, her boudoir name was Xunran, she was later redeemed by Xie Chuanzhong and accepted as a little star.The girls there are understanding and know how to serve others. Since they came to Xie's mansion, they greeted the old Xie like Zhu Bajie who ate ginseng fruit and felt comfortable all over.The red girls in the brothel are all good at poetry, painting, and financial management. Since then, not only have they become Lao Xie's bedside pets, but many things in business have also been entrusted to her. Lao Xie knew that he was ignorant of culture and had a rough temperament. According to his taste, the festival gift he had prepared for Yang Xu, the Duke of Fu, would not be able to come up with it at all, so he told Xun Ran the matter. She knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and poetry. She is a real talented woman, and she is no less than many young ladies from rich families.

You old man, just have a few spare cash, burn it! Mrs. Huang came in, and when she heard her husband's order, she said angrily: "The Lord of the Kingdom just came to Yanjing City a few days ago. How about you come to see me and send your heart to me face to face?"I still have to make preparations, and when the Chinese New Year is approaching, I will be sent to Jinling, and I will be poor! elder sister! Seeing his wife coming in, Xun Ran hurriedly took away the hand on Xie Chuanzhong's shoulder, and bowed obediently to Mrs. Huang. Although Xie Chuanzhong dotes on her, she dare not be rude in front of Xie Chuanzhong's first wife.Don't look at the wives fighting happily in the Gongdou drama. In fact, few concubines dare to challenge the wife of the wife. After thousands of years of development, social families have their own perfect order. Concubines can be favored, but It is impossible to endanger the status of the wife of the first wife, on the contrary, the wife of the first wife wants to punish her, but there are ways.Especially for the women in the brothel, it is not easy to find a good family from a good age, let alone be proud of being favored.

Mrs. Huang rolled her eyes and said: "You are also messing around with the master, so you don't know how to persuade him!" Xun Ran felt a little aggrieved, but she didn't dare to contradict her, so she had to lower her head. Xie Chuanzhong glared at his wife and said: What do you know?The Duke of the State came to Yanjing, and the emperor came on a pilgrimage. He has time to take care of you, huh?You give the gift to the Duke, and the Duke will take it to Liaodong?What's more, when Grandpa Guo is here, how many pairs of eyes are staring at him, why are you going to make trouble for Grandpa Guo?There are a lot of doorways here, if you don't give gifts to the point, isn't that flattering to the horse's hoof?

Xun Ran wanted to laugh when she heard this, but in front of his wife, she didn't dare to laugh out loud, she just suppressed her pretty face until it flushed, like two peach blossoms just blooming. After listening to Mrs. Huang, she also felt that what her master said was reasonable, so she stopped arguing. She sat down on the chair next to her husband, thought for a while, and suddenly said: "I said, it turns out that the old man gave it to our family. The business in Liaodong is much more than now. Liaodong goods are mostly handled by our Xie family, but now it is different. Liaodong mountain goods go by sea more, and our family earns less money.Did you tell me about this when someone gave gifts to Jinling?

Xie Chuanzhong sternly said: Another bad idea!You can't take all of this benefit, can you? He looked around subconsciously, leaned slightly, and said in a low voice: I heard that the sea boats on the Shandong side of the Kanto are all named Peng, and they belong to Mrs. Qi's family. Give us all the benefits, Xie Jia?Speaking of which, the Peng family is the father-in-law of the Duke, so they are much closer than us, aren't they? Mrs. Huang sighed and said: That's true!Hey, you said that the daughter of our big girl's family is thirteen this year, if Xie Chuanzhong's nose was almost crooked, and he said angrily: I told you what's wrong with saving money to your eyes?With the appearance of your granddaughter, is she worthy of someone else's father-in-law?Even if you deserve it, you can't!Madam Fei is our little aunt, what kind of generation is your granddaughter called!

Xun Ran couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly bowed to the two of them: Master and Madam chat first, Xun Ran went to check the accounts! After walking out of the room, Xun Ran covered her mouth with her sleeve and giggled. At this time, the old steward of Xie's mansion ran over in a gust of wind, saw Xun Ran at a glance, quickly stood up, and hurriedly said: "Madam Ran, the Duke has come to our house!" This nonsensical sentence stunned Xun Ran, and said in a daze: Who are you talking about? The old steward said: "Master of the State, Lord of the Fu State, the husband of our Aunt Xie, the Lord of the State Fu!

Xun Ran was taken aback, and hurriedly said: Then why are you still standing there?Hurry up, hurry up and open the door to welcome in!Ouch! Before she could say a word, she realized that as the Duke of the country, there was no reason to rush in without the head of the family to greet her personally. She immediately ran back in a hurry, rushed into the house, and shouted: "My lord, madam, hurry up!" Come on, come on, come to the mansion to greet me, the Duke of the State has arrived at our house! Just now Huang said in displeasure: You are yelling, after you heard the next sentence, she stood up abruptly, and exclaimed: "What are you talking about?"

When Xunran said it again, two whirlwinds immediately blew up beside him. Xie Chuanzhong and his wife, Mrs. Huang, were already running towards the front as if they were running a race. greeted out from behind Alright, alright, it's done after taking the Duke of the country into the mansion, go and go, they all disperse! Seeing the whole family surrounded Xia Xun, which made Xia Xun smile bitterly, Xie Chuanzhong immediately felt that something was wrong, so he rushed the whole family out, and ordered: "Xun Ran, quickly serve tea to the Duke!" yes sir!Xun Ran agreed, and hurriedly followed her out.

When the room was empty, Xia Xun couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief. The whole family, young and old, gathered around, which was really overwhelming. Xie Chuanzhong asked Xia Xun to sit up, half-bent in front of him, and said humbly: "My lord, what orders do you have? Just let someone greet you, and I will pass. How can I trouble you to move over." Xia Xun smiled and said: Hey, family, there is no need to be so polite. As he spoke, he took a look at this flower hall. The carved gate, the hall is magnificent, the doors, windows, tables, chairs, desks and screens are all elegant and generous. Could it be that the candlestick is an expensive thing, but one can only see the grace and grandeur, and cannot see the nouveau riche demeanor of wanting to hang all his belongings on his face before, so he couldn't help laughing and said: This hall, the current layout is very good!

Xie Chuanzhong laughed and said: "The Duke of the State praised it. This is all arranged by Chuanzhong's concubine Xun Ran." Just as he was talking, Xun Ran took the tea tray and walked into the hall, Xie Chuanzhong hurriedly said: Oh, that's her! Xia Xun glanced at the woman who brought tea in, and nodded slightly.Knowing the rules, Xun Ran came in with tea, secretly glanced at this big man whom she had known for a long time but had never met before, and then gently backed out. Xie Chuanzhong glanced at his Mrs. Ru with satisfaction, approached Xia Xun and said, "Master Guo, what are your orders for your visit this time?" Xia Xun looked serious, and said: Chuanzhong, sit down and speak slowly! Xie Chuanzhong was included in the genealogy of Xie's family in Chen Jun, so in terms of seniority, Xie Yufei must be called her aunt, and Xia Xun is Xie Yufei's husband, so she can naturally call her by his first name. Seeing his expression, Xie Chuanzhong felt uneasy. How big a deal would it be to make a prince feel a headache, and to come to the door in person to find the things he entrusted? Xie Chuanzhong sat down on the chair with half of his buttocks owed, leaned over and said: "Master Guo, tell me!" Xia Xun coughed and said solemnly: Chuanzhong exist! At the beginning, you invited many famous people from the north to research the family lineage and origin for you, right? Xie Chuanzhong's heart skipped a beat, and his complexion suddenly changed. In the past few years, he had long forgotten about it, and even he himself completely regarded himself as a descendant of the Xie family in Chenjun. Filial piety, there is nothing else to ask for in this life. Today, the Duke came to the door in person, but suddenly asked about it. Could it be that he sensed something wrong and came to ask the teacher for his aunt? Xie Chuanzhong quickly stood up and said: Yes, Chuanzhong Xia Xun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the word yes, and said, "Okay!"Find these people for me, since they are all experts in this field, no!Not only these people, through them, continue to inquire, there are also talents who are proficient in geography, clan branch, population research, find them all for me, I will be of great use! Xie Chuanzhong was stunned when he heard this: Mr. Guo's tone doesn't sound like he's troubling me. What is Mr. Guo trying to do?oh Xie Chuanzhong suddenly realized, and looked at Xia Xun with ambiguous eyes. Don't ask, this must be a very famous Duke, who has both rights and powers. He also wants to find a great ancestor for himself. It's normal, it's normal. !Even my emperor Taizu, someone helped him climb up to Zhu Xi, a famous scholar in the Song Dynasty. If the Duke is looking for a famous ancestor, it is likely to be the general of the Yang family. Xie Chuanzhong nodded in agreement while thinking wildly. Xia Xun didn't know that Xie Chuanzhong thought of his heart and came up with such a powerful reason for him. He just saw a shop of the Xie family on the road, and suddenly thought of Xie Chuanzhong's attachment to the Xie family in Chen County.Thank you for telling him about this matter from beginning to end, and he knows it all.Xie Chuanzhong is Yanjing's top dog. The people he found who specialize in understanding the local customs, geographical changes, and population movements, and helping the rich and powerful to find their ancestors, aren't they the best helpers for him in the lawsuit? Xia Xun said: "This matter is urgent, very urgent!"If some people pretend to be self-confident and refuse to come, you can report my name and say that I am the Duke of Fuguo!Right now, put everything else aside and start handling this matter immediately. I will give you two days, only two days. Within these two days, you can coax, persuade, rob, or steal. Invite all these people back to me as much as possible, and I will come to see them in two days!
