Seriously speaking, among the many people in the Xu family, the most official position is naturally the old man of the Xu family, and the second is Xu Mingxu, a real fourth-rank official.

You must know that even the talents who are favored in the family since childhood and are focused on cultivating, even if they have not suffered many ups and downs in their official careers, they may not be able to achieve the fourth rank in their entire life.

Xu Mingxu was "lucky". When he first started his official career, he got registered in front of Uncle Zhang because of the cotton matter.Coupled with his own outstanding achievements, the official career will naturally prosper all the way.

The dandies are very clear that they can be powerful, all relying on these officials at home, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are their parents.

Seeing Xu Mingxu like this, people of the same generation and offshoots naturally didn't dare to say anything.

As a biological father, Xu Hongxuan, who is not even afraid of his own father, has an attitude of "giving his son face in front of outsiders" and is particularly cooperative.After drinking the ginger soup, he took a closer look at several "water mice" and recognized one of them: "Oh, isn't this the waste that snatches children's food during the day? They don't sleep so late and come all the way here to work nah?"

Xu Hongxuan is not very courageous, but he is not yet stage frightened when all the "enemies" are under control.

Upon hearing this, all the dandies also stepped forward to recognize her.Dudes don't have any other skills, the ability to read people's faces is first-class, and the ability to remember people's faces is also first-class, otherwise how can they say flattering words at any time?

Many boatmen and guards couldn't recognize the man pointed out. The dude was far away during the day, and the villagers could barely distinguish men, women, old and young at that time, but they were able to recognize him.

"That's right, it's this trash!"

The man's mouth was gagged, and he was covered in purple from the cold in the water, so he couldn't speak a word.

Xu Hongxuan frowned, and said to Xu Mingxu: "Clean them up first, don't die on the boat, it's unlucky."

Xu Mingxu just wanted these "teaching aids", not human life, and he didn't argue with Xu Hongxuan, so he said coldly, "Do it."

Hearing this, a group of boatmen and servants immediately stepped forward to clean up.Of course, it was impossible for them to take a hot bath and change into clean clothes. Instead, they took the person to a place where the nobles could not see, took off the wet clothes on the person, dried them casually, and took another gulp. Ginger soup, as long as the guarantor is still alive.

The dandies don't know, they actually got the explanation from Xu Mingxu and Tu Hao long ago, and in the daytime, these people will all be sent to officials.

As for these poor people, will life at home be more difficult after they are sent to the government?What does that matter to them?Wouldn't it be just because the water mice repay their grievances with kindness that they have to cut their meat to feed the eagles?

In the whole village that received their favor during the day, now there are more than a dozen people who come out to be water mice!

And what Xu Mingxu wants to tell the dandies is only one thing: not everyone knows how to repay their kindness, there are many bad people in this world who promote love and hatred.

Playboys are not idiots, but their previous living environment, the people around them mostly support them, so they always have the illusion that there are good people in the world, and their personality is relatively naive.

But ask yourself, among those "friends" they associate with, do they really treat them as friends, or do they want to use the banner of friends to take advantage of them?

Even thinking about it the other way around, do they really think that others are worthy of respect when they flatter and flatter some "friends"?Haven't they scolded these "friends" who are higher than them behind their backs?

The "friends" are all like this. These villagers are just people who meet by chance and accept their favor.Some of them will be grateful to them, and some will see the great wealth they have, and it is normal to have some bad thoughts because of it.

The reason why those former friends are friends is because they know each other well and dare not do anything.

The current villagers don't know their roots, let alone the consequences of doing it, but they dare to do it.

The Xu family's signboard is not common in all places.

The torches still burned brightly, but provided only light.On the boat moored by the river, the cold at night is not covered.However, the dudes of the Xu family all blushed, showing expressions of guilt or deep thought one after another.

Xu Mingxu also didn't intend to tell them some big truths. According to his thinking, this lesson should not be taught.Let them go to the place, and they will know how to be a person after suffering a few losses.

But it's also their luck. Since they met on the road, let's hit it in advance.

After a while, he opened his mouth and said: "Okay, it's so late, go back to the room and rest." All of them are delicate and weak, don't get sick after blowing the cold wind for a while.

Um?He discovered what he had overlooked before, and stopped a guard, "Call all the guards at home, I have something to order."

It's rare for the dudes to go back a little slower because of their heavy thoughts. When they heard such a sentence, they wanted to ask but dared not.At this moment, it is particularly obvious that the supreme commander on this ship is Xu Mingxu... No, it should be the little butcher.

But do they dare to gossip with the little butcher?

They dare not.

After seeing the dandies back to their rooms, Vice Commander Xu told the gathered guards: "When you get to the place, you have to urge the gentlemen to practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies. The conditions in the place to go this time are relatively difficult, and there is a lack of medical care. They are in poor health, if they get sick, it will be bad.”

The guards know their responsibilities, and protecting the safety of the gentlemen is the first consideration.At first, I thought it would be absolutely fine with my own strength, but now I heard what Xu Mingxu said, and they all felt that it made sense: "Shi Lang is right! We will definitely let the gentlemen study hard, and we must not let them get sick."

It is true that they can prevent others from assassinating Lang Jun, but can they prevent Lang Jun from getting sick?Can't.In particular, most of these gentlemen have been hollowed out by alcohol and sex, and they are more likely to get sick than ordinary people.Decisiveness is still the most reliable way to strengthen your body by practicing martial arts.

You really deserve to be Xu Shaolang!

The guards looked at Xu Mingxu with admiration, and couldn't help asking another question: "After all, we are just servants. What should we do if the gentleman doesn't listen to us?"

They do have a way of training.They themselves trained according to the "civilian version" of the imperial army, and lowered their own training methods to a level, which is just suitable for gentlemen.For example, they usually run ten miles in the morning and evening each day, and the young masters will make half of it, so they will run a total of ten miles in the morning and evening, plus the necessary boxing and archery practice, it should be almost the same.

Xu Mingxu didn't think it was a problem: "They can't beat you. It's fine if you don't kill or maim, and the clan won't have any objections." Which elder would not be happy that his favored descendants are strong and strong?

Beat to death?The guards swallowed: "Isn't it right?" How could they hit the gentleman?

"There's nothing wrong with it. I'll make an agreement with them at that time." Xu Mingxu said lightly, and when he sent a dandy off the boat the next day, he explained it to him with his fists before handing him over to the guide. "Be obedient, I will come to see you next month."

Xu Shiliu with a bruised nose and swollen face: No, you'd better not come.

What the passenger ship docked at was not a bustling ferry, but a dilapidated old ferry that even fishing boats couldn't see.Xu Mingxu had already made an arrangement. The appointed guide brought his son and drove two ox carts to fill Xu Shiliu's salute, and barely vacated a seat for Xu Shiliu to sit in.

As for the maids and servants he brought with him, they could only follow along.

The father and son of the guide were relatively taciturn, and they drove the car away after pulling them up: "Mr.

Xu Shiliu touched the wound on his body and asked in a hissy voice, "Go buy a horse later, and buy two donkeys."

You can't buy a good horse, and there shouldn't be any good horses in this place. It should be okay to buy a bad horse.He must have someone who can transport him when he goes out, right?

The guide pondered for a while and said: "The donkey can still think of a way." The implication is that horses cannot be bought.

Holding a thermos cup in his hand, Xu Shiliu took a sip of warm water. He seemed to have finally taken a breath. He thought he hadn't spoken clearly, so he repeated it rigorously: "I just want to buy a nasty horse."

The guide shook his head silently.

Xu Shiliu laughed twice: "No way?" Can't even buy a poor horse?Even buying a donkey has to figure out a way?If the thermos cup inscribed "Made by Jiang Dan" in his hand was not made of genuine materials, it might be crushed immediately.

At that time, Xu Shiliu, a rural teacher, hadn't realized that the place where he could find a way to buy a donkey was already a rare good place in the countryside.After all, if there is an idea to let children learn to read and write, most of the daily needs can still be guaranteed.

The guard walking beside took out a piece of paper from his pocket and said to Xu Shiliu, "Mr. Lang, it's time, you should endorse it."

Xu Shiliu's eyes darkened: "This, doesn't this start when we arrive at the place?" He thought that the little butcher gave him the schedule alone, so why did he have guards?

The next thing he saw was a scene that broke him down even more - all the maids and servants had a schedule in their hands, and said to him: "Master, start memorizing? You can memorize a little slower, and you will be punished if you make a mistake." Then kindly Kindly took out the small ruler.

Unaware of Xu Shiliu's "strive to make progress", the passenger ship did not stop and continued the scheduled voyage.

For ten days or so, Tu Hao and Xu Mingxu, like parents sending children to school, sent them to their destination one by one, and then handed them over to the arranged guide to take them away.Before leaving, Xu Mingxu didn't forget to beat them up one by one.

Relying on his own father's status, Xu Hongxuan stayed on the boat for a long time. He was quite happy to see his son beating people, but he was also a little puzzled: "If you beat them like this, aren't you afraid that they will complain when they go back?"

Xu Mingxu said coldly: "Then someone has to believe them." It will take at least a year or two before he can find enough people to take over. .Even if they went back to file a complaint, it was nothing more than empty talk.

Xu Hongxuan thought it was interesting, and asked: "Then what if someone believes it?"

Xu Mingxu was already too lazy to talk to him, but now that he heard this, he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he smiled and asked, "So what if you believe me? What can you do with me?"

Xu Hongxuan was startled.

"Brother." Tu Hao didn't hear the conversation between the two of them. He just went to the deck to take a breath. Seeing the smile on Xu Mingxu's face, he had a bad intuition, "What are you and uncle talking about? Is the black chicken soup stew ready?" ? I'm a little hungry."

No matter what time it is, Tu Hao always ranks first in Xu Mingxu's heart.He didn't care about venting his anger with Xu Hongxuan, and walked quickly to Tu Hao's side and gently hugged him in his arms: "It should be almost there. I'll go and see, do you want to eat on the deck?"

"Well, take a breath."

Xu Mingxu felt relieved after touching his hands and face, and said softly, "Then wait a while."

"Okay." Let's get my wife away first, and then I'll see what my uncle is doing in a while.
