Upon hearing the news, Xu Da knew that Dafang was secretly using Yan's help to put pressure on Gongsun Yan.
This actually aroused the resentment of Gongsun Yan, who was still struggling.
When Xu Da came back, Gongsun Yan gave him a clear message. As long as he was not from the big house, anyone he supported could be chosen by Xu Da!
The meaning is obvious. Gongsun Yan doesn't want to engage in internal fighting with these Pang relatives anymore. He wants to single out Gongsun Ao's collateral line and go out alone.
And Gongsun Zan, who belongs to the same ancestor and is now in the limelight, is an excellent candidate anyway.
The old man's operation really surprised Xu Da.
He is not afraid that his partner is an old man who is half dead and may one day burp, but he is afraid that this old man will really accept his old age and no longer have any ambitions.
Even Gongsun Yu couldn't help but asked in fear after hearing this: "Second brother is like this, aren't you afraid that if... something happens to that one, is he framed by the entire family?"
Who it is, everyone present knows it well.
Youzhou Mu Zhao Yu is both the current leader of Youzhou and a member of the royal family. Can Qin allow Gongsun Zan to act arrogantly on his own territory?
If Gongsun Zan is gone and Gongsun Yan abandons his people and goes out to work alone, wouldn't he end up very miserable?
Thinking of this, Gongsun Yu couldn't help but want to persuade Xu Da not to be the leader, so as not to become the target of public criticism.
What's more, after this, he regretted a little and didn't want to send his only son to Gongsun Yana.
However, it seems a bit unwilling to give up like this.
After all, who wants to stay down and be a kid until they die, unable to straighten their backs and take a breath?
Gongsun Yu fell into entanglement and flinched a little.
However, Ms. Xu knew very well that she could not let go of her children without trapping the wolf. She was more than ten years younger than the second wife. If she took good care of her body, she would be the final winner.
So, he hurriedly asked his servants to bring him some decoction to replenish his energy and nourish his heart. He urged his husband, and the couple finished a bowl of it.
"I'm going to open a warehouse to prepare generous gifts. Tomorrow I have to trouble my cousin, thank you for your hard work, and take your cousin to Longyang!"
Mrs. Xu slapped the medicine bowl with all her might, got up and went to the warehouse to pick out gifts.
Longyang Town is the territory of the Yan clan, thirty miles away from here. The Gongsun clan's clan school is also there, and Xu Yue's younger cousin and younger cousin are studying there.
As soon as Mrs. Xu slapped the bowl, Xu Da understood that he could just talk to his aunt in the future.
As for that aunt, let it go. Honest people don't embarrass honest people, so just let him go. Anyway, the key to the warehouse is in the hands of his aunt.
Xu Yue listened for a long time, and when she saw that the results were out, she yawned and asked her father in a low voice with misty eyes:
"Can I go with you tomorrow?"
Xu Da originally sent his daughter home first before going to Longyang. Now when he heard her asking, he looked at this confused but serious little face and nodded lovingly.
He knew what this little girl wanted to do, and every day he heard her clamoring for "a strong man and a strong woman from heaven", which showed that she was already thirsty for talents.
However, scholars in this era were very arrogant, and he was only worried that his little daughter would be so angry that she would cry.
"Then let's agree first, it's not okay to cry." Xu Da reminded.
Xu Yue nodded, "No, I'm not a child."
"Aren't you a child?" Xu Da rubbed his daughter's little head in a funny way, picked her up, and the father and daughter happily went back to the guest room to rest.
Early the next morning, Mrs. Xu prepared three carts of rich gifts, and repeatedly told Gongsun An to follow his cousin Xu Daxue, and then he let the few people go out uneasily.
Externally, several people said that they were going to take Mrs. Liu, mother and son home, but the second lady, Mrs. Yan, didn't notice at all.
Only Gongsun Yan vaguely guessed the trend and secretly hoped that Xu Da would succeed.
Thirty miles is not that far in future generations. It can be reached in half an hour on the expressway. Even if you switch to a national highway and drive slowly, it will not take more than an hour.
But now this is equivalent to the late Eastern Han Dynasty, when road traffic was inconvenient. The roads were always good and bad. The journey was thirty miles, and Xu Yue and his party walked all morning.
Entering Longyang, you can clearly feel the literary atmosphere here.
A mile or two away you can see a farming and reading family, and a few hundred meters away you can see the handsome figure of a young man reading by the river.
It's like all the scholars in Yuyang County have gathered here.
Xu Yue looked all the way, and her heart became more and more itchy. If the situation had not allowed it, Xu Da would have no doubt that his daughter planned to get out of the car and knock the person unconscious to resist him.
Looking at those green eyes, those who didn't know thought she was that hungry wolf who covets beautiful women.
But don't tell me, these scholars do have a temperament that ordinary people don't have. Even if they don't have outstanding looks, they look pleasing to the eye when they wear that Confucian shirt and that Confucian scarf.
As the carriage moved forward, Uncle Rong, the housekeeper of my aunt's family, turned around and said, "The village in front is the residence of the second lady's natal family."
Then he pointed to the houses around Zhuangzi and said: "To the east is the school of the Yan clan, to the west is the residence of the Yan clan, and to the north is the guest house where the students who travel to and from study temporarily stay."
Xu Yue got out of the carriage after hearing this and looked at it curiously.
She was not wearing a skirt, but was wearing a set of clothes that in Uncle Rong's eyes could be called strange.
She wears a double-breasted long coat with narrow sleeves, and the standing fur collar is dyed a beautiful orange-red color, echoing the light yellow long coat. The color is bright, showing her liveliness at this age.
The lower body is a pair of light orange-red trousers, which are narrowed at the ankles and fit right into the small leather boots.
Without the restraint of her sister, she directly combed her hair into two long braids, and put a jade bead on her forehead to wipe her forehead. The whole outfit did not look like a Han lady, but more like a foreign dress from further north.
Uncle Rong and Gongsun An thought it was strange, but they had to say that such a little girl seemed to be shining brightly, making it difficult to look away.
The carriage stopped in front of a large house. Xu Da got out of the carriage first, turned around and stretched out his hand to take his daughter down.
With that proud look, she wanted to let the whole world know how beautiful her daughter was.
It is strange to say that neither Xu Da nor Wang's appearance is particularly outstanding, but the three children born to them are each more beautiful than the last.
Especially Xu Yue, with exquisite facial features and naturally fair skin, she looks good no matter how she dresses up. No wonder Xu Erniangshe can't put it down.
Moreover, in an environment where 90% of the population suffers from severe lack of nutrition due to hunger and cold, and is dry and yellow, the appearance of girls who can be well fed and clothed will naturally stand out.
Xu Yue feels pretty good about herself. She is not proud of her appearance, nor does she deliberately hide the advantages of her facial features. She is elegant and generous.
As for wearing strange clothes, let it be strange, as long as it is convenient for movement, warm and comfortable.
As soon as the father and daughter appeared, their unfamiliar faces and unique temperament that were incompatible with the surroundings immediately attracted the attention of everyone around them.
But just after Xu Da sent the greeting card, something embarrassing happened.
