Chapter Twelve Three Questions(1/2)
It was three o'clock in the morning and the sun was very hot.
The weather in Ling'an Mansion is like this. In winter, you feel like you are in midsummer at noon. But the wind in the morning and evening is as sharp as a knife, and the temperature is as low as being in an ice cellar.
Xu Changan walked to the door of Zhao Mansion under the scorching sun.
The door of the Zhao Mansion was covered with white cloth, and while still at the door, he could hear the roar of people inside. Xu Changan turned his head and looked around. Many wealthy businessmen inside gathered together to mourn for Mr. Zhao.
However, although their faces were sad, the business between businessmen could not be revealed by looking at each other.
Perhaps at this moment, his eyes were filled with tears and his face was full of sadness, but he was thinking in his heart about how to devour the Zhao family, which left only an orphan and a widowed mother.
However, Xu Changan rarely cares about these matters.
He just wanted to step into the Zhao Mansion when he was stopped by two servants.
"Zhao Mansion is in mourning, idle people retreat." Xu Changan frowned. He clearly saw a young man in rich clothes swaggering into the Zhao Mansion just now, and no one stopped him.
"I am Mrs. Zhao's friend."
The handyman glanced sideways at Xu Changan, then turned aside, not even bothering to look at him again.
Xu Changan didn't understand what the handyman meant, so he didn't care and walked in directly.
After taking only two steps, the handyman said lazily: "What's the matter? You don't want to listen to advice, right?" As soon as he finished speaking, two sticks were placed in front of him.
The handyman walked up and said, "Do you know where this is? This is the Zhao family!" After that, he pointed to a place a hundred meters in front, where there were scattered figures, and there was a faint sound of sadness and music.
Xu Changan didn't speak, but he didn't retreat either.
"The Zhao family is the largest in Ling'an Mansion. The current head of the Zhao family, Mrs. Zhao, is your friend? Why don't you take a pee and look in the mirror? You are dressed in coarse cloth. Do you think you are a knight with a sword on your back?"
Xu Changan frowned slightly.
He is already handsome, with fair skin, and his frown looks so good-looking. Although he is wearing coarse clothes, he does not have the slightest bit of tackiness on his face.
The longer you practice, the more your temperament becomes more pure.
"Are you still frowning? It would make sense if you said that you are the young master's pretty boy. The old lady has been living in seclusion for more than ten years. When did you meet her? Was it when you were wearing crotchless pants?"
Xu Changan was slightly angry. He didn't say a word, but the other party kept chattering.
This person seems to be more garrulous and annoying than Chai Xintong.
"Get out of the way!" Xu Changan shouted.
But the two sticks showed no intention of moving away. Instead, many handymen rushed towards it.
They all held sticks, lined up in two rows, and cleared a way. A middle-aged man walked over with two tufts of beard on his mouth, bowed at the waist, and walked over with his hands behind his back.
"What are you yelling about? What happened?"
The handyman who stopped Xu Changan before immediately bowed and said: "Butler Zhao, this person said he is a friend of Mrs. Zhao and insists on coming in."
The man's beard stood up.
"When did you meet Madam?"
Xu Changan answered honestly: "Last night."
Butler Zhao laughed loudly: "The madam you met last night?" Then a ferocious look appeared on his face: "Fight her out!"
At this time, two people happened to pass by the door. They both carried Xiaobu and lowered their heads. When Butler Zhao saw the two people, he immediately waved and put on a smiling face to greet them.
"Hey, aren't these Mr. Gui and Mr. Mu? Where are you two going?"
Guisheng was slightly unhappy.
"Steward Zhao, why is it so noisy?"
Butler Zhao immediately apologized and said with a smile: "A kid who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth wants to break into the Zhao family, it's a trivial matter, a trivial matter."
Guisheng waved, and the people surrounding Xu Changan dispersed.
Gui

Sheng was stunned and surprised. He didn't expect to see Xu Changan today.
A thought came to my mind: "Could this guy have come to see Second Young Master Zhao?"
Although he knows that Xu Changan is not simple, he does not know the real gap between Xu Changan and them. People are often like this. He feels that he has similar conditions to most others, but when he is treated differently, he will always feel strong jealousy.
.
But if he truly understands the gap between himself and others, he will look up to him with submissiveness.
Jealousy and arrogance often come from ignorance.
Guisheng calmed down his emotions very well, but Mu Qing was a little surprised.
"Could it be that the two young masters know this person?"
Guisheng gritted his teeth and made up his mind that Xu Changan would not be allowed to see the second young master Zhao today: "I don't know, but you also know that the Zhao family has a great business, and there are always people who come to randomly seek relatives, give him a few taels of silver, and send him away.
.”
He always thought that Xu Changan was here to please the Second Young Master Zhao. After all, no matter how good his skills were, it would be difficult to move forward without money.
A trace of surprise flashed across Xu Changan's face, he said nothing and watched the two people walk away.
Butler Zhao glanced at Xu Changan and spat: "What are you looking at? Then, get out of here. There is a big event in the Zhao family today. Don't come and cause trouble."
Xu Changan looked at the few taels of silver that Butler Zhao threw on the ground, and became a little angry: "I am from the Confucius Temple."
After all, he is the housekeeper of the Zhao family, and the Confucius Temple itself takes care of some things that the government cannot handle. Housekeeper Zhao naturally knows about the Confucius Temple and has even heard of the people in the Confucius Temple.
And in terms of Chai Xintong's reputation in Dechun Tower, there are few wealthy businessmen and dignitaries who don't know Chai Xintong.
"Are you from the Confucius Temple? I am also the master of Mr. Chai Xintong and Chai Xiao? Are you kidding? If you want to lie to others, you have to find a better reason."
Butler Zhao waved his hand impatiently: "Blast out and break one leg!"
…
Not far away, Chai Xintong and Xiaotong each held a bunch of candied haws. They squatted at the foot of the tree and looked at Xu Changan.
"Sir, will Mr. Xu be okay?"
Chai Xintong took a bite of the candied haws, and his teeth seemed a little sore, so he handed the rest to the child. He casually removed a branch, picked his teeth and said: "You underestimate him, after all, his cultivation level is smaller than yours."
If you, sir, are not much lower than someone like this, and you can't teach him a lesson, is there still a need for Shushan to exist?"
The child lowered his head and ate the candied haws, ignoring Chai Xintong. Chai Xintong patted his head, and the child covered his head in grievance: "Mr., what's wrong?"
"What's wrong? We came out to see this stupid kid, and you just want to eat!" He said, not caring whether his hands were stained with sugar or not, and pinched the little boy's chubby face.
"Isn't Master Xu fine?"
Chai Xintong saw that the handymen in the distance had picked up sticks and hit Xu Changan. He grabbed the child's ears and walked towards the Zhao mansion regardless of the child's screams in pain.
"I told you to read more books, and every day you liked to go and herd pigs with the children in the next village. I was afraid that the stupid young man would kill the Zhao family if he didn't pay attention."
Being pulled like this by Chai Xintong, the candied haws in the child's hand also fell out, and what puzzled him was: "What does Master Xu's beating of others have to do with his reading and herding pigs?"
…
Butler Zhao looked at the servant who was sleeping on the ground, hugging his legs and wailing, and beads of sweat gradually appeared on his head. He really didn't expect that a person would randomly come out, and more than a dozen servants fell to the ground without even seeing the figure clearly.
On the ground.
At this time, a young man in white robe came from a distance and pulled a child. Butler Zhao saw it from a distance, and his eyes were filled with hope. He immediately ran towards him and said, "Mr. Chai, there is someone pretending to be from Confucius Temple."
people."
Chai Xintong said nothing, and the child glanced at Butler Zhao with sympathy.
Chai Xintong passed directly over Butler Zhao and bowed to Xu Changan in the astonished eyes of Butler Zhao:
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"I've seen Mr. Xu." Chai Xintong said this. Not only did Butler Zhao open his mouth in surprise, but Xu Changan and Xiaotong were also stunned by Chai Xintong's words.
The corners of Chai Xintong's mouth curved nicely, and he made a "please" gesture towards Xu Changan, and then glanced at Butler Zhao: "Can we go in?"
At this time, Butler Zhao not only had beads of sweat on his head, but also his legs were trembling.
"Of course... of course... please..."
Butler Zhao ran and crawled to lead the way, stretched his neck, and shouted out of breath: "Your... distinguished guest has arrived!" The second young master Zhao was kneeling in front of the soul. Butler Zhao's voice was extremely disturbing.
It's so rude and people who don't know better think it's a wedding.
Not even the master of Ling'an Mansion sent people to shout like this.
His face immediately darkened, and even Mrs. Zhao's expression changed.
But when everyone saw the three figures at the door, they all felt that they should, and even others looked at the Zhao family a little higher.
Although they have never seen those legends about taking people's heads thousands of miles away, the Holy Dynasty has set up such an institution, and its power vaguely exceeds that of the palace owner. Based on this, they businessmen have to pay attention to the Confucius Temple and the Confucius Temple.
People are full of awe.
When the old lady of the Zhao family saw Xu Changan, she immediately stood up and bowed deeply: "I thank you, Master."
