A second โ of small โณ said ยง net.. Wonderful novels to read for free!
Originally, Fan Hongdao didn't want to talk about this issue in depth, but Miss Zhang's words made him a little unhappy. If someone else said this www.biquge.info he could pretend that he hadn't heard it, but when Miss Zhang said this, he couldn't help but want to refute a few words.
So Fan Hongdao deliberately pretended to be stupid again, and asked rhetorically: "It's just looking for a person who knows the goods, can there be any trouble?"
Miss Zhang Chongxiu emphasized that "everyone thinks that you are the old person of Shen Ge. In this case, if you are used by others like this, what will Elder Shen Ge think?"
Fan Hongdao sneered lightly: "You mean, if I vote for someone else, Shen Ge Lao will feel a little betrayed?"
Miss Zhang nodded, "That's what the concubine means." โ
Fan Hongdao asked, "Why?"
Miss Zhang replied, "Just because he is the first assistant." โ
The ritual of superiority and inferiority is regarded as a kind of order, which is firmly engraved in the world's concept. The difference between the upper and lower levels not only represents status and etiquette, but also represents right and wrong.
In the default of the world, the superior and the noble often represent the right, even if you are different, you must actively move closer to the superior and the noble, which is called maturity.
Fan Hongdao asked again, "In your concept, does the monarch want the minister to die, and the minister has to die? So no matter what, it must be fought to the death?"
Miss Zhang sighed: "To be a man, you always have to be loyal, and you will always be underestimated by people when you change the court." What's more, Shen Ge Lao has also helped you. โ
Fan Hongdao retorted: "Only from the perspective of people, the source of a person's loyalty is nothing more than two points, either the superior gave him glory and wealth, or gave him the grace of knowledge, so he repaid him with loyalty, which is the duty he should have!"
Then did Shen Ge give me these? Don't say that he helped me obtain the qualification of a prisoner, it was also in exchange for my heavier merits, not from him!"
Miss Zhang didn't understand Fan Hongdao's thoughts, and said very bluntly: "No matter how he treats you, he is the first assistant after all, and you probably can't find a more suitable person to take refuge into." โ
Fan Hongdao still didn't agree, and replied: "All in all, there is an equal exchange relationship between me and Shen Ge Lao, and there is no relationship similar to that between the monarch and the minister, so there is no loyalty at all. โ
When Miss Zhang heard this, she suddenly found that Fan Hongdao still seemed to have a side that she didn't understand, and she originally thought that she was familiar enough with Fan Hongdao.
It turned out that in Fan Hongdao's heart, he regarded himself and Shen Shoufu as equal objects, rather than a subordinate, and there was no difference between superior and inferior. Therefore, Fan Hongdao will not grovel to please Shen Shoufu, and after being rejected, he will not be nostalgic.
Therefore, Miss Zhang was confused again, where did this kind of self-confidence in Fan Hongdao come from? Zhang Siwei was not in his eyes, Wang Shizhen was not in his eyes, and he refused to lower his figure even in front of the first assistant in power, how did this confidence come about?
"Don't understand?" Fan Hongdao said proudly: "You are all just people living in the three-dimensional world, but I can see the four-dimensional world!"
Zhang Chongxiu was a little worried, Fan Hongdao was a politically reliable and talented person she admired in her heart, and Shin Shoufu was her asylum and the inheritor of her grandfather's political legacy, and she sincerely hoped that the two sides could cooperate instead of parting ways.
In the end, Miss Zhang persuaded Fan Hongdao: "I will recommend you to Shen Ge Lao again, you must not act rashly." โ
Fan Hongdao said very indifferently: "It doesn't matter if you persuade or not, it's not my loss anyway." โ
When bidding farewell to Miss Zhang and returning to the Homecoming Inn, Fan Hongdao met the Li family's father and daughter, who also came back from outside. During this time, the father and daughter of the Li family went out early and returned late every day, and they had less time to meet Fan Hongdao than before.
Father Li said hello and complimented: "Mr. Fan is really famous now, I have been in the city to inquire about the news, and I have heard Mr. Fan's deeds many times. There are also many people who say that Mr. Fan's poetry is excellent. โ
Fan Hongdao smiled bitterly: "Maybe you have to be burdened by fame." โ
Li Xiaoniang suddenly asked: "I don't know if Mr. Fan still goes to study in Guozijian?"
Fan Hongdao replied truthfully: "I still have to go in the future, but now I have to avoid the limelight and not go for the time being." โ
"That's good, too. Little Lady Li whispered to herself. Although Fan Hongdao heard this, he didn't understand, what's so good about this?
Thinking of the purpose of the Li family's father and daughter coming to the capital, and the risk of implicating themselves, Fan Hongdao asked with great concern: "These days, you have been running to the city every day, have you found out any news?"
Father Li sighed: "The capital is so big, I don't have a clue yet. It's just that I have to go into the city every day, and the journey back and forth is a waste of time, and I'm thinking about moving to the city. โ
Fan Hongdao didn't say anything, but Li Xiaoniang stopped doing it, and rushed ahead to complain: "Dad! What else do you have to think about? We can live here."
First, the rent in the city is expensive, and the money in our hands is still saved; second, the government in the city is strictly controlled, so it is better for us to hide from such an identity, and the southern city is loosely managed, which is more suitable for us to hide. โ
Father Li was speechless for a long time, his daughter, he was afraid that something would go wrong.
After dinner, Fan Hongdao flipped through the book when he had nothing to do. Suddenly, a messenger came to visit, saying that Zhu Gongzi had returned to Beijing and asked Fan Hongdao to meet tomorrow.
Of course, this Zhu Gongzi is the county lord of Zhu Shufang, and it seems that she has almost sorted out the affairs of the Hedong salt industry, so she came back. Fan Hongdao welcomed this, and in his current situation, it is not a bad thing to have a potential help.
After sending away the people who had sent away Lord Zhu, Fan Hongdao was about to continue reading, but several courtiers came together and came to visit together, Fan Hongdao felt a little surprised.
If it was a single person, it would still be within the normal range of communication, but a few pilgrims came together, and they were also the people with the largest business in the neighborhood, so they were afraid that something would happen.
Is it for the sake of the salt industry in Hedong? Fan Hongdao thought. A few years ago, he had promised to lead these merchants outside Chongwen Gate to enter the salt industry together, and now that spring has begun, it is also the right thing for these merchants to move their minds.
After taking a seat, it is a compliment as usual. Sun Chao praised and said: "Mr. Fan has recently become famous in Beijing, and we are honored to wait for the neighborhood!"
Fan Hongdao said modestly: "Chao Feng's words have passed!"
Sun Chaofeng said with a smile: "Mr. Fan is a famous person, and I hope to help each other in the future, and don't dislike us for being copper-smelling people." โ
Fan Hongdao replied: "Where is this, I live here, I am more kind to the neighbors, and I should do my best when I encounter problems." โ
Sun Chaofeng took the opportunity to say: "Speaking of which, we have indeed encountered something now, and we are here to ask Mr. Fan to help with the planning." โ
