The matter quickly reached Xu Lingyi's ears. He was secretly surprised.

Although my son is young, he has practiced both internal and external skills. It is difficult for three or five people to get close to him. How come he was beaten by a gangster on the street? Not to mention those gangsters on the street who are the most discerning and look at his extraordinary clothes.

, and there are guards in Suiyi, how could he do it casually? Or Brother Jin is arrogant, using this choice in advance

He was silent for a moment and asked Denghua: When did the singing father and daughter enter the house?

Denghua said respectfully: After the sixth young master and the second young master met, the second young master went out for a trip, and when he came back, he took the singing father and daughter.

The second young master Xu Lingyi was slightly startled.

Yes, Denghua said. I heard that the sixth young master asked the second young master to find a place for the father and daughter. The second young master didn’t have a good place, so he brought them back. Xu Lingyi was silent for a moment and told Denghua: The singing father and daughter

Let me see where you can get it

Denghua went to the group room and called the singing father and daughter over.

The father was only in his thirties, with handsome features. Although his complexion was yellow and skinny, there was a bit of arrogance between his eyebrows. In the middle of winter, he wore an autumn robe, carried a pipa on his back, and

He stood there upright, not like a singer, but like a scholar. The daughter, who was twelve or thirteen years old, followed closely behind her father, her head lowered, her body trembling, and she looked very scared.

Raising her head to speak, Xu Lingyi's voice was neither high nor low, with a faint sound of thunder. Her daughter raised her head in panic.

`

The father and daughter's facial features are very similar. The daughter's face is very pale, and her eyes are as clear as autumn water. She looks at Xu Lingyi pitifully. She is pitiful, and she is indeed somewhat charming.

What's your name? Xu Lingyi said calmly.

Having been reduced to such a state, he insulted the name of his ancestors and dared not use his surname. The father's voice, which seemed neither humble nor arrogant, was trembling, revealing his fear.

Xu Lingyi said: Listening to your tone, you are still a scholar.

The father remained silent and lowered his head, looking very ashamed.

Xu Lingyi asked again: I heard that you are from Jiangnan, why did you live in Yanjing and how did you start fighting with others?

I didn't meet my relatives and had no money to pay, so I had to sell singing to make a living. As the father said, his face turned red. Those people insisted on making the little girl sing a ditty. If the little girl didn't know how, they asked the little girl to accompany them to drink. After all, I can be considered a person who has read a book.

, it is a last resort to let my daughter appear in public. How can I let my little girl go to drink with her again? She said with anger in her eyes, and her eyes were filled with tears, so they started to argue.

The madam rewarded you with some silver to pay for your expenses. Xu Lingyi didn’t ask any more questions. You can go with Denghua and take your daughter back to your hometown.

The father's face was full of surprise.

Daddy, can we go home? The daughter asked her father excitedly. The father seemed to be overwhelmed by the huge joy. After a while, he came back to his senses and nodded to his daughter: "We can go back."

Xu Lingyi bowed his head.

I said a big favor without saying thank you.

From the beginning to the end, he maintained a dignity of being tough on the outside but on the inside, and faded away with the lanterns.

Xu Lingyi called Manager Bai in: Go and find out who are the people fighting with Brother Jin.

Manager Bai left in response.

Come and reply to Xu Lingyi in the afternoon.

It was Chen Ji, the son of Chen Bozhi, the Governor of Water Transport. Manager Bai thought about it. He had made great contributions to dredging the Huitong River. The emperor especially favored his son for commanding the Qian affairs. Chen Ji came to the capital to express his gratitude.

Xu Lingyi nodded, his expression very calm: What did the people from Shuntian Mansion say?

The fight had already been completed when I went there. Mr. Bai said, "They didn't see anything."

The people from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division said that they arrived later than the people from Shuntian Prefecture.

Xu Lingyi laughed and waved his hand: Got it

Manager Bai did not retreat immediately as usual, but looked hesitant and hesitant. "What else do you have to do?" Xu Lingyi said with a smile.

Manager Bai hesitated for a while and said in a low voice: Lord Marquis, do you want to say hello to Shuntian Mansion?

Although the Sixth Young Master has a somewhat reckless temper, anyone who sees such a thing would probably be filled with indignation. After all, he has done a good deed.

Xu Lingyi did not express his position, but suddenly said: After the Chinese New Year, the big shopkeeper in Shanxi will be sixty-three. He mentioned the matter of Rong Yang again this year. I think you and Brother Chen can discuss it and decide on a few candidates. I will take a look.

.The person who will be the big shopkeeper in Shanxi will be appointed in the beginning of next year.

During the day, the manager knew that Xu Lingyi was telling him to stop taking care of it, so he hurriedly said respectfully: I will discuss it with the Fourth Young Master right now.

Xu Lingyi said nothing.

After Manager Bai left, he stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back and watched the snow for a long time. Then he returned to Brother Jin. He sat down and asked his son.

Eleven Niang took the hot tea from the little maid and put it in Xu Lingyi's hand: It was said that someone else was looking for trouble with the singing father and daughter and wanted to send them out of the city personally. She sat down next to Xu Lingyi, why do I always feel something is wrong?

With Brother Jin's temper, most of the time he saved people, he just left his money and let the boys deal with the aftermath. But this time, because the singing father and daughter had no place to live, they returned to the house. She shook her head, I don't know what to think.

I don’t think it’s his way of doing things. And Brother Yu. He has always been steady. On the first day back.

She knew clearly that the wife would hold a banquet for him to wash away his dust, but he stayed up all night because of his classmates. She looked at Xu Lingyi with some worry, "Master Marquis, tell me, is there anything fishy in this?"

It's Chinese New Year and the children are all back. It's rare for a family to get together, so don't think about it. Xu Lingyi smiled and said, go change clothes quickly and we'll go to mother's place for dinner.

Could it be that I am too sensitive?

The thought flashed past.

Eleven Niang went to change her clothes and went with Xu Lingyi to the Madam.

Everyone is here except Xu Siyu and Brother Jin.

These two children asked him to come back early. Why haven't they come back at this time? The madam coughed.

Grandma, the sixth brother was afraid that the other party would not give up. No one said anything. Xu Sijie, who had always been quiet, suddenly laughed and said, "Everything must have a beginning and an end. This is also a good thing for the sixth brother. As for the second brother, the New Year is coming."

, and to find him from such a far away place, he must have something to ask for. Second brother can’t just leave him alone, right?

Everyone's eyes fell on Xu Sijie.

The madam just nodded: That’s what you said.

Yingniang saw Xu Lingyi give Xu Sijie a sharp look.

Her heart was pounding, her father-in-law couldn't have noticed something, right?

Grandma, she hurriedly approached the madam. Last time you said you wanted to embroider a glasses bag. I made a green tangled flower and a red one. Do you like the green one or the red one?

I like them all, I like them all. The wife smiled and said, but your mother made me a sapphire blue one with gold all over, it was very beautiful. After saying that, she asked the maid to get it, and handed it to Ying Niang proudly, you

Look, it looks good, right?

Just as Yingniang was about to praise her, Xu Siyu and Brother Jin walked in one after the other. Madam Tai immediately forgot about the glasses bag and hurriedly carried the two of them over, taking Brother Jin's hand.

: Let’s send them away. Did you freeze and ask Xu Siyu again, have you finished your work?

The two of them said in unison, one sent them off, and the other finished their work. Xu Lingyi stood up: "Let's eat then," and then stepped forward to help the wife. The big family supported the two of them and headed to the East Room.

Xu Sizhen pulled Xu Sijie and asked him in a low voice: What happened? Why are you covering for your second brother and sixth brother?

I'll tell you later. Xu Sijie answered quickly.

Xu Sizhen didn't ask any more questions. After dinner, everyone went to the West Room to drink tea. Xu Sizhen and Xu Sijie coincidentally ended up at the end.

I can't tell fourth brother now. Xu Sijie whispered, I will tell you after asking second brother and sixth brother if they agree.

Xu Sijie never criticized others behind their backs and was sincere and trustworthy. Xu Sizhen admired this very much about Xu Sijie.

Fortunately, he didn't ask again. While everyone was talking about how to celebrate the New Year this year, he kept paying attention to Xu Siyu and Brother Jin.

After half a cup of tea, Xu Siyu got up and went to the clean room. After a while, Brother Jin also came out. What happened? Xu Siyu was waiting for Brother Jin at the corner next to the ear room. What did the fifth uncle say?

Uncle Wu made me laugh.

Brother Jin was a little embarrassed and said that there was no need to go to such trouble. If the people from Shuntian Mansion couldn't find it, that would be fine. If they could find it and no innocent people were harmed, they couldn't afford to offend the two families, so they had to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

There is no need for us to find anyone. Not only will it alert the snake, but it will also weaken the momentum. Let us just leave it alone and do what we need to do. We’ll talk about it when something happens.

Xu Siyu couldn't help scratching his head: This is too negative. Now we are hiding and they are hiding. We have all the advantages and we can't let them come to the door like this.

I think so too. Brother Jin discussed Xu Siyu in a low voice, Second brother, what do you think about me handing the sign to the palace tomorrow? Then he said, I have been helping the eldest princess look at each other these days, so I should go to the palace and talk to the eldest princess.

The result of the mutual inspection. Not bad, not bad. Xu Siyu said with a smile, just say that because you were beaten by Chen Ji, there were wounds on your face. Although you found a reason to resolve the matter, you can only worry about it in the future.

You can't go out casually like now. The eldest princess will definitely ask you what happened. Just tell the eldest princess the truth. He also said that it is best to tell King Yong about the nephew of the Minister of Rites. King Yong

Fighting is much better than making a fuss like this.

Brother Jin nodded.

Seeing that Brother Jin no longer insisted on helping the eldest princess, Xu Siyu breathed a sigh of relief.

Brother Jin asked Xu Siyu: Didn’t the singing father and daughter reveal their secrets?

Seeing that brother Jin agreed, Xu Si gave a sigh of relief.

What happened to them is true. But the person who saves people has changed from Fang Ji to you. Don’t worry.

Seeing that the matter was resolved, Brother Jin showed a happy look on his brows.

Second brother, you should go back first. Two people are missing suddenly, lest they find out the clues.

Okay, you should go inside early, it's too cold outside.
Chapter completed!
