Chapter 175 Jiangnan Xia Family
Chapter 175 Jiangnan Xia Family
Jiangnan, in the evening, the sky is full of clouds.
Far mountains, rivers, green trees, green grass, and the winding and faraway roads are all covered with a faint golden yellow.
Suzhou Xiajia, the mansion is in Dongcheng, Suzhou. The house is very large, three in and three out. But it's not how magnificent it is. Because this house was handed down during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, it is an ancient building and is not easy to build a large-scale construction.
Of course, this is only an obvious reason. The Xia family has done a lot of business in recent years, and it is not too much to make money every day. The style of Xiafu is still much more spectacular than that of many rich families. The gate of the vermilion copper ring, the stone steps, the white wall of Daiwa, the high wall and the deep courtyard, the flying eaves and wing corners are magnificent.
Xia Yufeng stood at the gate when an old man in his sixties greeted him. He was wearing a long coat and full of silver hair. He looked very different in the bustling troubles. He trotted to Xia Yufeng and bowed and said, "Young master!"
Xia Yufeng nodded with a smile and said, "Xia Bo, has your family always been good?"
"Okay, everything is fine. The master often talks about you." Xia Bo said with a smile.
Xia Yufeng walked into the door, and the children of the Xia family greeted him one after another. There are not many servants in the Xia family, much less than the rich family of the same family.
When Xia Hong heard that the eldest brother was back, she ran out with a smile and shouted sweetly, "Big brother, you're back."
"I'm back. I'm not at home. Aren't you naughty?" Xia Yufeng said lovingly and took her sister Xia Hong's nose.
"No, when I came back from Jiazhou, I was suffocating. Brother, take me with you." Xia Hong pouted her little mouth, which was very cute. Compared with the usual enchanting and charming, it is like the difference between heaven and earth.
Xia Yufeng smiled and said, "Don't play this for me. I'll stay for a while when I come back this time."
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the business? Xia Hong was shocked when she heard the words. Xia Yufeng came back to live for a short time each time, usually no more than a week. I have to stay for a while when I come back this time. Needless to say, I know what happened.
Xia Yufeng was upset, sighed and said, "I'll go to talk to the old man and take you out to play in the evening."
"Really! That's great." Xia Hong jumped happily, because the Xia family had big rules and was very strict with the younger generation. In particular, the women of the Xia family are not allowed to go out without the permission of their elders.
Xia Yufeng came to the crescent arch, tidyed up his clothes, and walked away.
The pavilions and pavilions in Xiafu are magnificent, the trees, mountains and rocks are lush, and the scenery is very beautiful. However, Xia Yufeng is not in the mood to watch it at this moment. After passing through the middle yard of the front yard, turning into the backyard and bypassing the corridor, he saw a corner of the red building exposed in the sparse flowers and trees directly opposite, and the eaves were exposed. This is the place where Mr. Xia usually lives. The scenery is beautiful and very elegant.
"Grandpa, Sun Eryufeng, please give grandpa a good call." Xia Yufeng came to the door, said respectfully, and then knelt down.
After a while, an old man's cough came from the room.
"Is it Yu Feng? Come in quickly."
Xia Yufeng pushed the door in, and a heat wave came to his face, making his whole body warm. There is a fully automatic mahjong table in the middle of the room, and four old people are playing mahjong. It is not difficult to see that these old men are worth a lot from their auspicious silk and satin.
Mr. Xia smiled and looked up at Xia Yufeng and said, "How are you doing recently?"
"It's all good." Xia Yufeng stood behind Mr. Xia and whispered.
"Well, go find your third uncle. He has something to do with you." Mr. Xia said lightly.
Xia Yufeng answered and retreated silently.
Xia Yufeng's third uncle's name is Xia Kangyong, which is very valued by Mr. Xue. He basically takes care of everything in the family. Xia Yufeng knew that the third uncle must have something important to find him, so he quickly walked to the middle court.
Xia Kangyong urged the younger generation to practice martial arts. When he saw Xia Yufeng coming, he gave him a look and motioned him to avoid it first.
Xia Yufeng was so enthusiastic that he turned around and came to the living room to wait. After a while, Xia Kangyong came.
"Yu Feng, how are you doing?" Xia Kangyong asked.
"Thank you, Uncle, for thinking about it. Everything is fine." Xia Yufeng got up and saluted.
"Sitting down and talking, I heard that you have something to do with the Xue family?" Xia Kangyong asked.
"Yes, that person's name is Xue Xiaobao, the only seedling of the Xue family." Xia Yufeng mentioned that Xue Xiaobao couldn't wait to kill him, but there was no expression on his face, as if he was talking about a person who had nothing to do with him.
Xia Kangyong nodded and said, "The legendary jade pot appeared in Hebei. Come with me at the beginning of next month."
"What?" Xia Yufeng was shocked when he heard the words and looked at Xia Kangyong in surprise.
Xia Kangyong's face was heavy. He suddenly got up and walked away. He hesitated for a moment and said, "It's time to come. Yu Feng, the Xue family took a step earlier, but I heard that something happened to the fourth brother of the Xue family. This is a good opportunity for our Xia family. We must not let others take the lead.
Seeing that what the third uncle said was true, Xia Yufeng immediately said solemnly, "Everything is arranged by the third uncle."
"Well, first, don't use outsiders this time. Second, Xiao Jian and I will take people down. You and Xia Hong will respond outside. If something happens to us, you must not come down and tell the old man. Xia Kangyong said righteously.
"Third uncle..." Xia Yufeng was about to refute. He did not sponsor the third uncle's adventure, because the Xia family could not take care of the third uncle. Unexpectedly, the third uncle took the lead.
Xia Kangyong waved his hand and said, "That's it. You don't have to say more. The fourth brother of the Xue family is not an ordinary person. He had an accident, and the danger inside can be imagined. You and Xia Hong must be careful. I heard that the fourth brother of the Xue family cooperates with others. If you find that the situation is wrong, kill it!"
Hearing this, Xia Yufeng's face condensed, and his eyes flashed fiercely, revealing his murderous spirit.
Next, their uncle and nephew discussed the details in detail. However, Xia Yufeng didn't know that Xue Xiaobao was also going to Hebei, but he was still on the same day as them, at the beginning of next month.
It's a good saying, it's not that the enemy doesn't meet. There is an unavoidable competition between the Xue family and the Xia family. Of course, it is a competition between their younger generation.

During dinner, Mr. Xia did not come out for dinner, but called Xia Yufeng into the study to talk. This time, the conversation was very long. It was not until about ten o'clock in the evening that Xia Yufeng came out of the study. It's just that his face was ugly, and the brothers and sisters of the family did not dare to ask.
As soon as Xia Yufeng returned to her room, Xia Hong came in with the food.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Xia Hong asked softly.
"It's okay. Why don't you go back to your room to rest?" When Xia Yufeng saw his sister, he squeezed out a smile.
"Humph!" Xia Hongjiao snorted and said, "You haven't eaten yet. They will bring you food."
"Let's put it there. I'll eat it in a while." Xia Yufeng said absent-mindedly.
"Brother, what did you say?" Xia Hong put down the meal and sat opposite Xia Yufeng.
Xia Yufeng looked up at her sister and smiled and said, "I'll take you out early next month, but you have to be obedient. If you are disobedient, don't blame me for driving you away."
"Wow! I must be obedient. I'm the most obedient." Hearing that she was going out to play, Xia Hong danced happily.
"Alas! When will I grow up?" Xia Yufeng muttered, and then picked up the meal and ate it.
"Eat more, but I'll serve it!" Xia Hong said sweetly.
"I know. Go back to your room and have a rest. I'm very tired today." Xia Yufeng said while eating.
"Okay! Brother, go to bed early." Xia Hong spoke, got up and left.
As soon as she left, Xia Yufeng put down her bowls and chopsticks, sighed, and said to herself, "Why is the "Twelve Doors" so complicated? Who can you believe?"
