The big tree in the "Shazhou Bieyuan" was unlucky, and Fan Xian took the emperor's sword to let go of the king's spirit, and cut off countless bark. The reason for this is all because our young imperial envoy is very upright, it is impossible to show a bad face in front of his wife, and it is impossible to rush to Beijing to scold his own sister's teacher right away, so he always Find a way to vent your anger.
Fan Xian is not that boring boss who likes to beat and scold his subordinates to decompress. It just so happens that in his previous life he lay on the bed and watched readers. He once read a sour story that made him cry, so in this life he learned about that story. hero.
The hero who loves to pour the footwashing water got angry at his wife and endured it for N years, always sneaking out in the middle of the night and smashing trees by the river in order to seek poor psychological balance.
Fan Xian didn't smash the tree, he used the dignified four-look sword formula to cut the tree, gritting his teeth bitterly while cutting.
When the trees in the yard turned gray overnight, and the clothes were all shredded, revealing a humble and naked body, Fan Xian and his party left in a carriage and returned to Peng's Manor by the West Lake.
※※※
There are quite a lot of people waiting for the imperial envoy and the princess princess by the West Lake. It is not convenient for the two governors in Suzhou to come in person. The governor of Hangzhou, whom Fan Xian admires secretly, is not polite. A third of the embankment was sealed to make it easier for Fan's carriages to enter, and he led a group of subordinates to wait around, for fear that the two big shots might be dissatisfied.
For this flattery, Fan Xian accepted it comfortably. After all, Wan'er's health is not good, and she really needs to be quiet. After everyone in the mansion met, Sisi and the daughter-in-law of Master Teng naturally took care of Wan'er to rest. Fan Xian took the time to meet with the Hangzhou magistrate and gave some words of advice. But on the second day, he asked Tiger Guard Gundam to block all the wives of these dignitaries from the backyard.
Mrs. Fan didn't see any guests.
…
…
Wan'er looked at Fan Xian pitifully, her brows had already frowned into soft willow leaves in the wind, her eyes were crying like crying: "Good husband, please forgive me."
Fan Xian smiled and said, "Hey, just drink the medicine, otherwise you'll get a spanking."
Wan'er had nothing to do, so she could only drink the medicine in unspeakable misery, and couldn't help but sigh deep in her heart, thinking how could she be so stupid? He told Fan Xian all the reasons, and with his temperament, of course he would not allow himself to do this. If he had known this, he would not have gone to Jiangnan at all, and would have stopped taking the medicine secretly in the capital.
Suddenly she felt a little ashamed, if she didn't go to the south of the Yangtze River, she would stop taking the medicine and remove the toxins in her body, but... without him, how would she have a baby
Fan Xian was wiping the medicine stains from the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, when he suddenly saw the blush on his wife's cheeks. Like this?"
Wan'er rolled his eyes at him, then hummed and said, "I won't tell you."
She quickly changed the subject. This trip to the south of the Yangtze River was a matter that had been agreed years ago, and there was another important matter that needed to be discussed with Fan Xian. She was absolutely worried about letting the servants pass on these matters.
Seeing that she was serious, Fan Xian frowned slightly, put his ear to his ears, and listened to his wife whispering in his ear, his heart became more and more heavy, but there was no change on his face, and he was still quiet. He comforted and explained: "I thought it was a big deal that made you leave Jiangnan in such a hurry... Those elders in the palace are used to talking about people's right and wrong, so they don't care too much."
During their days in the capital, the young couple had an excellent tacit understanding, and they had also made it clear that Wan'er is now a wife and a daughter. In such a complicated relationship, Fan Xian felt pity for her and did not want her. Too much getting involved in these dirty things, even Wan'er can actually help him too much.
For example, the evening conversation between the couple on the day the eldest prince visited Fan's residence.
But having said that, Wan'er can't pretend that nothing happened around her, let alone blindfolded, pretending not to see that her husband-in-law is at war with her not-so-close mother.
It was hard to guess what the girl was thinking, but in this matter, she always wanted to find a way to protect Fan Xian without putting both parties in an irreversible situation.
It's just, it's hard. It was hard for Fan Xian to figure it out, and it was the same for Wan'er.
So she had no choice but to carefully inquire about the news in the capital, to analyze the mysteries of women's politics for Fan Xian, relying on her detached identity and the privilege of entering and exiting the palace without hindrance, to help Fan Xian who is far away in the south of the Yangtze River contact the people in the palace. Folks, remove some of the resistance that can be removed.
Fan Xian knew about these things, and knew that he couldn't stop her, so he had no choice but to let her go. And sometimes, Wan'er is really needed to act as a lubricant in the middle, just like the trip to the palace after the Chunwei incident.
…
…
Because of Fan Xian's opposition, Wan'er's ability was not brought into full play, and her natural sense in politics and court affairs was suppressed even more, but this does not mean that she did not understand these things, so when you know that After the story, she resolutely came to Jiangnan.
Contrary to everyone's imagination, the young mistress of the Fan family did not go to Jiangnan to see that Northern Qi saint named Duo Duo, but to remind Fan Xian of certain things in person.
"The elders in the palace... can influence a lot." Wan'er looked at Fan Xian worriedly, and said softly, "The queen mother is the queen's biological aunt, and the relationship between the two cannot be separated no matter what... The queen arranges someone Go into the palace and tell the story of the story of the stone to the empress dowager, the danger hidden in it, you must not be too careless."
Fan Xian fell silent, and a trace of anger welled up in his heart. Back then when he copied the Stone Records in Danzhou, he just wanted to find some games for himself and Sisi, seek some entertainment for Ruoruo, and at the same time satisfy his youthful thoughts. I didn't take it too seriously. Because although he knew that Lao Cao's writing was indeed somewhat illegal, but when he thought that these two completely different countries, two worlds, would not violate the prohibition, he became a little careless.
No one expected that such a big change would take place in one's life experience and one's own experiences later on. Every word and sentence in the Dream of the Red Chamber... seemed to be expressing one's unwillingness and resentment.
Especially the rhetoric about sister Qiao.
Anyone can write this book, but I can't be myself... But in today's world, everyone believes that this book was written by me.
The resentment in the book seems to be expressing my dissatisfaction with the affairs of the old Ye family back then... The empress arranged for someone to enter the palace to give lectures to the old empress. Disagreement
The affairs of the royal family are all about the heart. If the heart is suspicious, people will be suspicious. If the heart can be punished, people can be punished.
Fan Xian thought about it quietly for a while, and found that this was indeed a problem he was about to face. If the Empress Dowager really thinks that she is unwilling and wants to redress the past, then the temporary silence of the old lady may no longer exist. Today's Qing Kingdom governs the world with filial piety, whatever the Empress Dowager says, my own emperor Lao Tzu always expresses it.
But... it's not a big problem. Fan Xian has been in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, and his strength has reached a certain level. These small storms will not make him very vigilant. He gently patted his wife's hand, and said gently: "Don't worry, even if that old woman suspects me... so what? I haven't done anything, and she can't just ask His Majesty to cut my official position."
Wan'er smiled wryly, couldn't help but shook her head, poked his brow lightly with her finger, and spat: "That's my grandmother, and your grandmother... Why is it that old woman shouting like an old woman."
Fan Xian grinned and said, "Speaking of which, when I met you in the Qing Temple, I never would have guessed that you would be my cousin."
"Hmph... I don't know who kept it from me for so long." Lin Wan'er pursed her lips and muttered.
Before Fan Xian could comfort her, Wan'er continued to speak seriously, "Even if there is no harm in this matter for the time being, what about the Ming family's affairs? The lawsuit you have in the south of the Yangtze River has already spread to the capital. Today's Song Shiren can be regarded as Really famous, actually saying that the eldest son has no natural inheritance rights... This touches the bottom line of many people. Although Song Shiren is helping Xia Qifei in the lawsuit, everyone in Beijing knows that you are their backer, so you can't help it. I will ask one more question in my heart... our little Fan, what is he thinking?"
Fan Xian frowned and said, "What can I think?"
Lin Wan'er looked at him and said, "As for the appearance, you want to help Xia Qifei get back the property of the Ming family... Wouldn't the queen mother suspect you? What's more, there is the disadvantage of the previous story of the stone... A hatchback, anyone will I thought you wanted to take back the inner treasury."
"Whose is Koneku?"
"Who is the eldest son in our palace?"
Lin Wan'er sighed: "The things you did when you went to Jiangnan really put yourself on the opposite side of the prince's elder brother, and even on the opposite side of the queen mother."
After being silent for a while, Fan Xian decided to express his true thoughts: "That's right... But in fact, I deliberately created this kind of atmosphere so that people in the palace would feel that I have a different heart."
Lin Wan'er parted her lips slightly in surprise, feeling that it was not his character to be so aggressive.
"You came a few days late, so I don't know that His Majesty sent eunuchs to announce the decree." Fan Xian smiled and said, "In a few days, Beijing will know my attitude. I am on the side of the third child. "
Lin Wan'er was a little puzzled and nervous, and said softly, "You're going to let the third child fight in the ring...but he's still just a child."
"This child is not simple." Fan Xian lowered his head slightly, and said with a chuckle, "His ability is not bad, and I have great confidence in my ability to recognize people, and I also have confidence in my level as a teacher. Guys, it's not going anywhere."
"But... you still didn't explain why you want to create the current atmosphere." Lin Wan'er frowned. If this situation is allowed to continue, the two sides will gradually lose any chance of reconciliation, and will force... She raised her head suddenly First, looking at Fan Xian in surprise, he said slightly startled, "Are you... going to force them to do it?"
…
…
The bedroom was quiet for a long time, Fan Xian nodded slowly, and said softly: "Many people ignore the Queen and the Crown Prince, but they and I are very clear to each other, and only one of us can survive... Now that the Emperor Your Majesty still cares about me, I just want to force the hidden disaster to erupt in advance."
Lin Wan'er's expression gradually became bewildered and dimmed. Although she knew that the struggle between the emperor's family was always merciless, but when she thought that one of her dearest husband-in-law and the prince's elder brother in the palace would die, she still I couldn't help but feel a little cold.
Fan Xian's eyes were colder than his wife's thoughts, and he said slowly and indifferently: "I don't want to kill people, but they have killed people decades ago, and they can't let me go now, so I'll do it This matter."
Lin Wan'er was silent for a long time, and then said: "Then... what should she do?"
The she in these words is naturally the biggest problem between Fan Xian and his wife, the eldest princess who has been unwilling to settle down.
Fan Xian's eyes drooped slightly, he gently hugged Wan'er into his arms, and said gently: "Your Majesty's thoughts are too deep, I don't care about them, and your mother's thoughts are too big, it's not my turn to care about them... This is her relationship with her." For the war between His Majesties, I just need to play the side drum...I can't guarantee anything else, but I assure you, I will not do anything to her personally."
Is this guarantee credible
"The emperor's uncle has always loved me very much..." Lin Wan'er was like a wounded kitten, lying in Fan Xian's arms, speaking weakly, but watery eyes gradually appeared in her eyes, if the eldest princess really had the courage to do that Afterwards, even with Fan Xian's strength and status, Lin Wan'er would not be implicated in any way, but... her status among the royal family would become embarrassing and dangerous.
Fan Xian remained silent, knowing that Wan'er's lament was true. After getting married and walking in the palace, he clearly felt that his emperor Lao Tzu really loved Wan'er very much, and that Wan'er's status in the palace was indeed higher than that of ordinary people. The chief of the county is much taller... Thinking of this episode, he couldn't help sighing, the emperor married his most beloved niece to his illegitimate son, was it considered compensation for him
"It's okay, it's all about the elders." He said with a smile, "Let them make trouble."
Although the words are easy, the content is not easy. In the next year, if the dragon chair of the Daqing Dynasty does not change its owner, or there will be a bloodbath among the royal family, and what will happen to the young couple Fan Xian and Wan'er? ? If it's the former, Fan Xian believes that his whole family will be buried with the emperor, if it's the latter... how should Wan'er face it
At such a moment, Fan Xian suddenly felt that it was a very boring thing for him to force the other party to do something earlier, but he had to do it in order to protect himself and the people around him.
"The old cripple probably thinks the same way, right? I hope he can have some better ideas."
Fan Xian patted Wan'er's back lightly, looked out the window at the quiet lake, that green hill, that fishing boat, that willow branch, and his thoughts drifted to the distant capital.
※※※
In that cool imperial palace in Kyoto, the maids and eunuchs walked quietly, and occasionally some young maids would laugh a few times, and were immediately reprimanded severely by the old mothers. The thick spring is over, the early summer is here, the trees in the palace are lush, but the people in the palace still don't have a little freedom.
Guangxin Palace was the bedroom of the Eldest Princess. When the Elder Princess secretly communicated with the Northern Qi Dynasty and betrayed the senior officials of the Overwatch Council, Uncle Wuzhu's words revealed that the most beautiful woman in the legend of the Qing Dynasty withdrew sadly. After leaving the political scene in Kyoto, I went to the deserted palace.
Although she could faintly influence the situation in the palace in Xinyang Li Palace, it was not as convenient as coming from inside the capital, so in the sixth year of Qingli, she finally persuaded the queen mother to move back to the capital. At this time, the sensational Yanzhi incident that year had long since disappeared from people's memory.
But not long after returning to the capital, Junshanhui's strength in the south of the Yangtze River annoyed her in front of the emperor's brother, so the emperor ordered her to move into the palace again, called reunion, but in fact it was a nearby surveillance.
However, after all, the eldest princess has been in the palace for a long time, and she is the queen mother's favorite little girl, and her relationship with the queen has always been close, so no one can stop her from entering and leaving the palace. Successfully fooled many people.
Of course, in order to reassure the emperor, it is not convenient for her to go out of the palace too much, and she has been in close contact with the ministers below, so now her most frequent activities are to chat with the queen mother in the palace, and get together with the empress. Study some embroidered cloth such as flowers, birds, insects and water.
I'm afraid it's not cloth embroidered.
…
…
The situation in Jiangnan has been settled. Regardless of whether the eldest princess Li Yunrui is convinced or admits it, it is hard to be sad. In short, Jiangnan, which she has been running for more than ten years... has been completely taken over by her "successful" son-in-law !
The old lady Ming is dead, Master Sanshi is dead, the Ming family is silent, the Jiangnan officialdom is suppressed by Fan Xian and Xue Qing, and there is not much rebound. They were all pulled out by Fan Xian. Although those officials were still respectful in their letters, they had no way to move under Fan Xian's despotic power.
The momentum of public grievances and indignation that was finally created has quietly dissipated for some reason. As a result, the blood books of thousands of people sent all the way to the capital and the old Confucianists who filed lawsuits before the imperial court became rootless trees, posing no threat to the imperial court at all.
"Penalty salary?" Eldest Princess Li Yunrui squinted her eyes slightly, a playful look flashed in her beautiful phoenix eyes, "Tell me, is their old Fan's family still short of this money?"
Sitting next to her was the dignified and luxurious queen. The queen smiled and said: "Your Majesty loves the Fan family. Didn't the matter of checking the household department a few days ago end in the same way?"
The eldest princess smiled, blinking her long eyelashes with a youthful look far beyond her age, and said with a chuckle: "Fan Shangshu has made great contributions to the country, how can we women compare?"
She sighed and said, "In the final analysis, my sister and I have no children, and I don't care much about giving birth to a daughter. Why do I care about these things? When autumn comes, I still ask my mother to reply to Xinyang. Go live."
The queen thumped in her heart, and secretly scolded this vixen for pretending to be tender, and then heard that the other party was retreating to advance... But in the current situation, if Li Yunrui really quit, he and the prince can't resist Fan Xian at all. And the momentum on the third side. Of course, the queen is not a fool, knowing that it is absolutely impossible for the eldest princess to give up the power in her hands, so she left. When the other party said this, it was nothing more than wanting to gain the upper hand on the scene.
The empress smiled with a hint of caution that should never have been there: "What is my sister talking about? Although I am a dull woman who doesn't know state affairs, I also know that my sister is the pillar of the country and has helped our Daqing Dynasty. I don't know how many benefits... If you really go to Xinyang, His Majesty the Emperor will be the first one not to agree."
Today, the conversation between these two women still cannot be separated from that chair, but no one has the guts to speak too bluntly about this kind of thing before it is activated.
The eldest princess was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "Mother is old, and she is always easy to be deceived."
The queen nodded and said with a smile, "Take your time."
The two were silent, raising their teacups and sipping, the queen suddenly asked tentatively: "I heard...Fan Xian did a good job in Jiangnan, but recently a master suddenly came and cut down half a building in Suzhou city?"
It is impossible to hide the matter of cutting half a building with a sword for too long, but it was still passed back to the capital and passed into the palace.
The eldest princess knew what the queen wanted to ask, but she refused to tell the other party the truth. She smiled with a hint of arrogance and said, "I don't know much about Jianghu."
If a great master stands behind the eldest princess, then the queen will have a clearer understanding of where she should stand in the cooperation between the two. Of course, this will also greatly strengthen the determination of the queen and the prince .
Seeing that the eldest princess refused to speak out, the queen cursed a few words in her heart, then left.
Looking at the slightly lonely back of the mother of a country, the princess's eyes flashed with pity and contempt. She thought that such a role would actually want to take a share of the pie. I really don't know where the confidence came from.
Neither Huang Yi nor Yuan Hongdao, the chief counselors of Xinyang, could enter the palace, so at this time the confidant next to the eldest princess was an eunuch, and the eunuch stood aside and whispered the question in the eldest princess' mind: "Empress... don't you know this?" yes… ?"
"Seek skin with a tiger." The eldest princess said the four words that her cronies were inconvenient to say, and said with a sneer: "My palace is a tiger, so she has to stand by my side, otherwise if the third child is really in power, Fan Xian Want to avenge Ye Qingmei... Who will help her stop?"
She slowly closed her eyes, and said: "For the time being, she and I put aside the question of whether it is Chengqian or the second child... because she knows that if it happens, she will not be able to compete with me, and she only wants a way to survive."
"Over there in Jiangnan?"
"Don't worry about it anymore." The eldest princess sighed, "My son-in-law made preparations before he went to Jiangnan. The natives in Jiangnan are no match for him."
She shook her head, and said quietly after losing her mind for a while: "Thinking about it now, I really made a big mistake at the beginning. If there was no matter of Niulan Street, how could there be such a trouble between me and Fan Xian... If He stands by my side, who else in this world can stand against us?"
Before the eunuch could reply, she laughed self-deprecatingly again: "It's really fantastic. If Fan Xian and I didn't have such a deep hatred, how could my emperor brother dare to use him so much?"
The eunuch was listening, not daring to make a sound.
"I was wrong from the very beginning." A trace of indifference and determination flashed across the beautiful face of the Eldest Princess, "No matter how powerful Fan Xian is, he will still be lifted by his limbs by the strings in the palace. Why should I care about this puppet? What I want to deal with should be the one holding the thread."
…
…
In Hanguang Hall not far from Guangxin Palace, the Empress Dowager was half-closed and sleepy. After all, the old man is old, his spirit is not as good as before, and his determination to kill is not as good as before.
"Stop, stop." The old woman stopped the storyteller in the palace in disgust, glanced at the book in the hand of the palace lady, and said nothing for a while.
"It's all nonsense, and I don't know why so many people like to read it in the market." An old nun next to her said flatteringly.
The queen mother shook her head, and after a long while said softly: "Children... It's always normal to be a little bit unconvinced."
The old lady didn't dare to say anything more.
A trace of complicated emotions flashed in the queen mother's eyes. In fact, she didn't know what the queen asked her to read the story of the stone. Although she was indeed very angry at Fan Xian's resentment, she was even more angry at the queen's actions.
No matter how wrong Fan Xian's mother was, Fan Xian was a descendant of the royal family after all, which was what the old lady valued most.
"How long has Chen'er been gone?" The old queen suddenly thought of her favorite granddaughter and asked the people beside her.
"The princess should be in Hangzhou now."
"Well... I have also been to Jiangnan, the place is beautiful, but those women are too presumptuous." The Queen Mother frowned, and ordered: "No matter how hard the Fan family prepares, it will not be as good as the things in the palace. People go prepare some things and send them to the south of the Yangtze River."
The old woman thought for a while, and then said: "Write to girl Chen and ask her if she's used to living by the West Lake. If she doesn't like it, let her move to the palace on the mountain."
The old lady quickly responded.
…
…
In the imperial study room, His Majesty the Qing Emperor, who had just finished the imperial meeting, rubbed the center of his brows wearily, took a sip of warm ginseng tea, and frowned in disgust as he watched the scene outside the window that never seemed to change.
"Hong Zhu..." the emperor subconsciously yelled, and only after he yelled did he remember that Hong Zhu had been transferred to the East Palace for half a year, so he couldn't help laughing self-deprecatingly.
"Your Majesty, what are your orders?" the chief eunuch beside him asked respectfully.
The emperor shook his head, coughed a few times, the echo echoed in the imperial study, he couldn't help but startled, thinking that maybe he was really old, listening to the echo of coughing, he found himself so lonely.
"Go to the small building to have a look."
As soon as he brushed his dragon robe, he straightened his chest and walked out the door. The eunuch behind him hurriedly followed, only in time to hear His Majesty sigh faintly: "When will you be free, let's go to Danzhou again?"
…
…
The Qing Dynasty this year is no different from the usual years. The palace is still lonely and dirty, the palace is still bustling, the court is still arguing, the six ministries are still fighting, and the Overwatch Council is still silent. And hideously, Dean Chen is still enjoying singing and dancing in the Chen Garden, and Fan Shangshu is still busy in the household department.
The common people are struggling to survive, looking for some happy things to comfort their numb minds while surviving.
For example, the east family married a girl, the west family died an old man, there was no flood in the south this year, and there seemed to be wars in the west again, Mr. Fan did not write poems, did the Northern Qi saintess meet the young mistress of the Fan family
All the way down from Kyoto, Jizhou, where the river will flow into the river, is a lively and busy scene on both sides of the river embankment. The people who repaired the embankment worked hard like ants to carry sand and stones. This year, the Qing Dynasty was lucky. It was harsh, but after all, a lot of wages were paid, so the motivation of the peasants to work was also much stronger.
Yang Wanli's face was dark, he was wearing coarse clothes, and he was standing in the bamboo shed with deep frown. Although the current situation is good, the autumn flood is the most terrifying thing. The silver is going, so the mental pressure is extremely huge.
And to rush to repair the embankment and divide the water, although he didn't understand these things, he put down his body and carried out it himself. Days of exposure to the sun finally washed away the last sliver of bookishness on this student of the Fan family, turning him into a real official.
On the river embankment, several people came from afar, and they should be officials who went to other places to be officials.
The group of people began to shout into the bamboo shed from a long distance away.
Yang Wanli pulled up his skirt, wiped the sweat off his face, looked over there suspiciously, and finally saw who was coming, and couldn't help but welcome out of the shed in surprise.
"Brother Ji Chang? Brother Jia Lin? Why are you here?" Yang Wanli moved forward to meet him and grabbed the hands of the visitor.
The visitors were Hou Jichang and Cheng Jialin among the four sons of the Fan family. These two have been working in other counties since Chunwei. Thanks to Fan Xian's support and their own efforts, they improved quite quickly. In just over a year, they actually completed a few jumps and passed the first hurdle of the seventh rank.
It's just that the place where these two officials are located is far away from the land of Jizhou, so Yang Wanli couldn't help but be a little surprised when he was pleasantly surprised.
Hou Jichang didn't have time to answer his words, but just held those callused hands, looked at Yang Wanli's dark face, and said emotionally: "My lord's letter just said that you have arrived at the governor's office of Heyun, but you didn't expect...to be so miserable." .”
Cheng Jialin on the side was already a little bit embarrassed.
Yang Wanli chuckled, not knowing what he was thinking of, and said sternly: "Usually Wanli would only talk about political affairs, but it wasn't until he came into contact with these people's livelihood matters that he didn't know how difficult the life of the people in my Daqing Dynasty was... The teacher asked Wanli to come and fix it. He, it is really the trust and cultivation of Wanli... Only after experiencing this incident, can I know that under the seemingly indifferent face of the teacher, there is really a heart that cares about the country and the people."
The three of them fell silent, and it was Hou Jichang who broke the silence, and said leisurely: "According to rumors, the reason why your lord was able to convince that Northern Qi saint was all because of what your lord said in the Northern Qi palace."
Speaking of Haitang, the Holy Maiden of the Northern Qi Dynasty, even though these three were all Fan Xian's students, they still couldn't help snickering.
Yang Wanli suppressed a smile and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Hou Jichang turned around, looked at the laborers on the embankment under his feet, looked at the roaring river not far away, and sighed: "First worry about the world's worries, and then enjoy the world's joy... I was thinking, back then We seem to have underestimated adults."
Worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joys later.
The three of them chewed this sentence in their hearts, and a wave of respect emerged spontaneously.
"Teacher... Although his face is tired and lazy, he actually has a pure heart." Yang Wanli thought about what he had seen and heard in the past few months, about Fan Xian's emphasis on the river transport, and about the changes in Jiangnan because of Fan Xian's arrival, and he endured it. Can't help but say in admiration.
Beside the bamboo shed on the levee, there were other officials from the Heyun Yamen. Hou Jichang noticed that Yang Wanli had been using the word "teacher", and couldn't help coughing twice to remind him: "In front of outsiders, it's better to call you an adult, lest the court say that we Form a party."
"A gentleman is a friend and not a party, but if you really want to form a party, Wan Li is willing to be a dog for the teacher." Yang Wanli smiled, and said with a calmness different from his previous years: "Everyone knows that we are the four sons of the Fan family. As long as we are Why do you care what other people say when you are working for the benefit of all people in the world?"
Hou Jichang was slightly taken aback, and then laughed loudly: "That's true, I'm still being a bit deliberate for my brother. It seems to Wan Li that he has made a lot of progress in the past six months. Being with the teacher is really good for self-cultivation."
Cheng Jialin also said enviously: "We are officials outside, you are in Jiangnan, who knows that the teacher will go to Jiangnan."
Yang Wanli said with a smile: "I didn't accompany the teacher for a few days, but that kid Shi Chanli... If you go to Suzhou, you will know how much he has been changed by the teacher."
At this point, Yang Wanli remembered to ask, "Where are you going?"
Cheng Jialin responded with a smile: "In the past six months, the teacher has rectified the administration of officials in the south of the Yangtze River, and there have been many vacancies, so the Ministry of Officials transferred me to Suzhou."
Yang Wanli nodded happily, knowing that Cheng Jialin went to Suzhou, and it would definitely help Fan Xian.
"how about you?"
Hou Jichang smiled and said, "I'm going to Jiaozhou to be a pawn."
Yang Wanli was startled, thinking that this kind of transfer was relegation, and he didn't understand why Fan Xian had such an arrangement.
Hou Jichang didn't explain anything, he only knew that Mr. Fan must have deep meaning in letting him go to Jiaozhou, and according to what the teacher said in the letter, among the four of them, he was the only one who could handle such a grave funeral. Barely did.
…
…
"Worry about the world before?" In the water town of the south of the Yangtze River, on a big boat, Fan Xian lay on a bamboo chair on the plank of the boat, looked at the sky full of stars, and couldn't help sighing: "I came to this world , is here to enjoy the blessings, not to worry about the country and the people."
On such a night, the big boat sailed on the river and had already left Hangzhou.
Spending the summer by the West Lake for one month, Fan Xian carefully researched the medicine left by Fei Jie, and found to his annoyance that what Ku He said should be true. It's just that Fei Jie seemed to feel guilty, he didn't say a word about Fan Xian's letter and invitation, and he didn't know where that old pervert was hiding.
It's just that Wan'er insisted on drinking the medicine, so her body gradually recovered. Fan Xian's mood improved a lot, and his hatred for Beiqi Kuhe also decreased a lot. As for things like having a baby, he was not in a hurry. Less than twenty, hurry up.
After everything in Jiangnan was settled, he took everyone around him, boarded the big boat provided by the navy, and started traveling along the waterways in Jiangnan.
The destination of tourism is nothing more than Wuzhou, Jiaozhou and Danzhou.
It was late at night, and Wan'er, the third prince and the others had already fallen asleep, and there were only Fan Xian and Lin Dabao lying side by side on the quiet board, and even the six swordsmen and the tiger guards who had always been hiding in the dark. Was called down by Fan Xian.
Fan Xian couldn't sleep, and Dabao slept too much on the boat during the day, so he could endure it. The two lay side by side, talking nonsense while eating delicious Jiangnan pastries.
The world has never understood why Fan Xian has such a good relationship with that idiot brother-in-law. In fact, even Fan Xian himself can't explain it. Maybe it's just because talking with Dabao can bring unprecedented ease, without having to think about anything. Nothing is taboo.
And there is no need to talk about politics, the world, right and wrong, black and white, good and evil, the death of others or one's own death, Baiyufang, and stinky sewers.
Just talk about something as simple and pleasant as eating. For example, the stars dotted in the night dome on the top of the big ship at this time.
The river is windy, the water is calm, the big boat is parked in an unknown big lake, the surrounding reeds are still far away, there are no water birds singing at night to disturb, and there is silence. The starry sky above his head was lonely and far away. Fan Xian looked at the starry sky above his head and said to Dabao beside him, "Tell me, what are the stars in the sky?"
"It's sesame seeds." Dabao gestured with his big and fat palm, "The moon...is sesame seeds, and the stars...is sesame seeds...Xiaobao said so."
Little Treasure was the Second Young Master Lin who died at the hands of Uncle Wu Zhu. Fan Xian was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, pointed at the stars and crescent moon in the sky and said, "I don't know if it's sesame seed cakes, I just know that this celebration There is also a moon in the starry sky of China, and there are also those stars, and... Strangely, there is also a sun in the daytime."
The sun is out during the day, and the stars and moon are out at night. This is definitely not strange. This is common sense that children understand.
But Dabao nodded seriously, and said, "Xiao Xianxian, I also find it very strange."
Fan Xian sighed and said, "Yeah, it's so strange. I discovered it when I was a child. Jiedier... is still the earth."
