Winter goes to spring, and three years have passed in a blink of an eye. In August of the third year of Yuanfeng, Murong Fu took off his filial piety clothes, worshiped Mrs. Murong in the company of the four ministers, and hoeed grass for her tomb, and drank defilement wine, and the three-year filial piety period was over.

When everyone returned to Yanziwu, Deng Baichuan sent all the accounts of the Murong family's business in the past three years to ask Murong to take a look. Murong Fu has been an otaku for three years in three years of filial piety, and in addition to practicing martial arts and books, he is also the enlightenment teacher of Wang Yuyan and Azhu Abi, and he has been passive and slack off on Murong's sugar trading for a long time. In the past three years, he has "invented" five new candies and five new pastries like a difficult birth, and he has never even taken out the most basic financial management tool "modern accounting and bookkeeping" as a traverser, so he is naturally unwilling to worry about the start-up capital of this great cause of recovering the country as soon as he is filial. I saw him take the account and put it aside casually, and said lightly: "As the so-called employment is not suspicious, the suspect does not need to use it, what is the reinstatement about your brothers?" You don't have to look at the accounts, Brother Deng roughly said a few words. ”

Deng Baichuan was sincere, Murong Fu said this, he really thought that this was the master who had to meet the heart and soul, and responded respectfully at the moment: "Master Yu, in the past three years, we have opened two shops in Gusu City, named 'Jinxiutang' to specialize in this candy business, and so far we have earned more than 300,000 taels of silver......

Before Deng Baichuan finished speaking, Murong Fu had already lost his voice and shouted, "What did you say?" 300,000?! "Murong Fu has lived in this era for seventeen years, so he naturally understands today's prices. In the Song Dynasty, a family of 3,000 guan was regarded as a middle class with a car (horse-drawn carriage not a donkey cart), a house (garden villa), and a servant (who controlled the life and death of a servant), and 300,000 guan had obviously stepped into the ranks of the top rich.

Deng Baichuan nodded and said sincerely: "It is indeed 300,000 yuan, the son is a great talent!" Regarding Murong Fu's gaffe, Deng Baichuan and others were not surprised. In fact, when they first saw the booming business in the store, when they calculated the income of the first year, they had such a gaffe or even more. Although the Murong family was once the emperor's family, they have been working hard for hundreds of years to restore the country, spending money like flowing water, and when Murong Fu inherited Yanziwu, he was already a strong outsider, and all the belongings in the family did not exceed 100,000 yuan. In less than three years, this total asset has more than tripled. "At present, these kinds of sugar made by the prince are all over the north and south of the river, and we plan to set up one more shop in Shandong in the second half of the year, so as to facilitate the collection of news on the rivers and lakes, but if this continues, this workshop will inevitably be too busy, and it will take ......more time to find reliable manpower."

Murong Fu couldn't listen to the rest of the words anymore, so he only sighed in a low voice and said to himself: I would rather not have this great talent! It is said that Song Shi was rich, but now that he has seen it, a small candy can make such a big deal. Just thought that in real history, only half a century later, the prosperous and wealthy Northern Song Dynasty would eventually die under the iron hooves of a foreign race, and Murong Fu, who was also a "foreign race", was a little uncomfortable. He came back to his senses in a daze, waved his hand, and said with a forced smile: "Brother Deng has done a good job, and he doesn't bother the two masters, and these things will still be handled by Brother Deng in the future." He pretended to be tired and lifted his forehead, "Today ......"

Before Murong Fu finished speaking, Ah Zhu hurriedly walked in again and said softly, "Son, Lord Wu is here." "This Lord Wu's name is Xizhong, and he is the parent official of this Suzhou Mansion. Because the Murong family carries the name of the chief scoop of Taihu Lake, he has always been polite to the Murong family, but he cherishes Ling Ming and never has any contact with the Murong family on weekdays. Visiting in person today, Murong Fu was naturally very surprised.

Bao Wei, who was also standing in the hall, listened to Azhu's reply, and immediately slapped his forehead in annoyance, and said repeatedly: "How did you forget him!" Yu Gongzi, this Wu Zhixian said last month that he was coming to visit, saying that he wanted to commend Gongzi for his filial piety for his wife for three years. Speaking of this, he suddenly raised his eyebrows proudly and whispered. It's not about the amount of business taxes we have paid over the years! The Murong family's honest tax payment is because Murong Fu learned the bloody and tearful lesson of Alcapone, the godfather of the American mafia, but Wu Xi himself was also rewarded by Shangguan for this.

Sister-in-law Deng knew that although this was true, she couldn't say it in front of Murong Fu, so she scolded sharply: "Third child, be careful!" The son's grandfather and mother are filial piety, and the world can learn from them, how can they not deserve this commendation? ”

As soon as Sister-in-law Deng said this, Bao Wei immediately bowed her head and said nothing. In the past three years, Murong Fu has lived in a thatched hut with leaky wind on all sides, worn coarse linen clothes, eaten green vegetables and tofu, and even drove the servants and servants who served the living and cooking on the fire. It was a secular rule that the mother had to marry and keep filial piety for three years, but it was extremely rare to really be able to do it in a down-to-earth manner without any discount like Murong Fu.

Murong Fu knew that Bao Wei had always been a bad person, and he didn't care about his tongue, seeing that Wu Xi of Zhixian County came from afar with several officials and several respected elders in Suzhou Mansion, he hurriedly walked down the main hall to greet him, bowed to Zhixian and said: "After the end of school, Murong Fu has seen Lord Zhixian!" ”

Wu Xi has heard of the Murong family in Yanziwu for a long time, but it is the first time he has met Murong Fu. Murong Fu called himself "the last to learn", but Wu Xi knew that the Murong family's money was not very clean. It's just that there have been droughts in the past few years, and Wu Xi's tenure will be full of people who will not be able to complete the assessment, but the Murong family suddenly wants to wash their hands and change careers to start candy trading. Wu Xi relied on the business tax of the Murong family to enter the eyes of Shangguan, this year was his last year in Suzhou, the evaluation during this term of office, whether the career is smooth or not depends on the results of this last year, for his own future, he must not be close to Murong Fu with Guang Tongchen. Using Murong Fu to commend him in the name of his mother's filial piety is to repay the peach and the bone.

Helping Murong Fu up, the two looked at each other, Wu Xi was stunned immediately, and sighed with a smile for a long time: "Today's trip, I saw a lot of pearls and jades." "In ancient times, as an official, not only did you have to be highly educated, but you also had to look good. And just based on Murong Fu's appearance, Wu Xi knew that if Murong Fu was not a straw bag, the examiner who would take the imperial examination in Japan would definitely not be able to bear to dethrone him.

Wu Xi is a local parent official, and the local elders are naturally willing to welcome him, not to mention that Murong Fu was indeed born rich and handsome, and the light reflects people, and the words of praising Murong Fu's beauty for a while are endless. This was originally a characteristic of the times, but Murong Fu was really uncomfortable, and after barely coping with two sentences, he hurriedly changed the topic and asked the county lord to sit down with the elders in the hall.

The old people present naturally saw Murong Fu's discomfort, looked at each other and smiled, and followed Murong Fu into the main hall. After Azhu Abi served fragrant tea, Wu Xi got down to business. "Murong Gongzi has been filial piety for his mother for three years, and every ten days he will hand-copy a volume of Buddhist scriptures and burn them in front of Ling Ci's grave. As he spoke, two officials carried a plaque, on which were the four big characters of "filial piety and filial piety" written by Wu Xi himself.

Murong Fu hurriedly left the table to thank him, he was not a person who was clumsy in words, but this time he couldn't say anything else except Lian Cheng. He asked himself if he was more ashamed than filial piety for Madam Murong, because he didn't think he deserved such recognition.

Wu Xi didn't know the depth of Murong Fu, but he thought that Murong Fu was intimidated by his official authority, and said with a smile: "The so-called son of man ends with filial piety." Since this official has given you these four words, you naturally deserve it. It is also a note in the county chronicles, so that future generations can know that my Gusu City is also the hometown of filial sons and grandchildren. ”

As soon as Wu Xi said this, Murong Fu's eyebrows jumped immediately. Wu Xi is just a seventh-grade official, and his reputation is not good, and it is not a big deal to send this plaque. But the so-called "recorded in the county chronicle" is very different, the people who can be listed in the county chronicle are all outstanding figures, and in ancient times, there has always been a custom of seeking loyalty to the filial piety gate, and Wu Xi's intention to carry it is self-evident. This kind of treatment is undesirable for any student who is obsessed with officialdom. It's just that he is Murong Fu, a descendant of the Xianbei Murong clan, born in a family that is determined to revive Dayan, do you want him to change his career to take the top prize? The joke was a little bigger.

Murong Fu was stunned, and Wu Xi had already mentioned that he wanted to take a look at Murong Fu's homework. The four ministers all felt that Wu Xi's request was inexplicable, but Azhu Abi, who was accompanying him, was already happy at the same time, and hurriedly took out Murong Fu's homework in the study and asked Wu Xi to take a look.

Wu Xi was a pure literati, and he thought that Murong Fu would one day take the imperial examination. His official position is low, and he doesn't need to think about the name of the teacher, but it's not impossible to fight for a good reputation of discerning people and form a good fate. How did he know that he had just seen Murong Fu's homework and was shocked again, and couldn't wait to point to the practice post and ask, "Which famous master did Murong Gongzi learn from in this calligraphy?" ”

Murong Fu knew that his calligraphy was good, but it was still far from the level of calligraphy. He didn't understand why Wu Xi was so excited, so he only replied casually: "Students in the countryside, how can they have the blessing of learning from famous masters." The student was originally Xi's face, and he was not good at learning, which made the adults laugh. ”

How did Wu Xi hear what he said, and asked in disbelief: "So, this font was actually created by you?" ”

Wu Xi's aggressive questioning was excessive, and the four ministers all glared at him angrily when they heard it. Only Murong Fu carefully studied the notebook in Wu Xi's hand for a while, and suddenly came to his senses, and secretly said that it was not good.

It turns out that Murong Fu learned the most common Song style characters in later generations, this font structure is dignified and elegant, stretching the atmosphere, and Tang Kai has another breakthrough in the same line, which can be regarded as blue out of blue and better than blue. But the most terrible thing is that in today's era, Song characters have not yet been officially finalized. In his previous life, Murong Fu lingered on the sickbed for many years and was accompanied by books, and he was very well-read and memorized, so he naturally knew that this Song character was a product of the times and should not appear at this time. It's just that his Songti characters have been written from his previous life to this life, and he has long been accustomed to nature, and it has become a blind spot in his thinking. And the four ministers are all martial artists, and they don't understand the value of watching Murong repeat for so many years. Until today, the appearance of Wu Xi.

Seeing that Murong Fu was stunned for a while, Fang smiled bitterly and said: "Student essay plays, it is difficult to be elegant, how dare you say 'body'?" ”

Wu Xi shook his head and said, "How can this be said to be a play?" Murong Gongzi's handwriting is already in its own style, and in time, it will surely open up a mountain and establish a faction that will be famous for centuries. ”

In the Song Dynasty, everyone in the world was good at calligraphy and poetry, and several elders who came with Wu Xi heard him praise him so much, and immediately gathered around to read Murong Fu's homework, and after watching it for a while, they were amazed, but this exclamation was more sincere than praising Murong Fu's beauty. When Wu Xi saw Murong Fu's calligraphy, he was already convinced that it was not Meng Lang who mentioned that he had just mentioned that Murong Fu's filial piety would be included in the county annals.

Murong Fuzheng secretly regretted that he had not found the problem with the font, but he had a strong nature, and since Wu Xi had taken the exam for his homework, he did not want to deliberately hide his clumsiness to make everyone's faces gloomy, so he answered several questions fluently. It wasn't until Wu Xi asked him to write a poem with high interest that he hurriedly refused. Murong Fu traveled from later generations, and naturally he has read a lot of excellent poems that have been passed down through the ages. After crossing, every time I pick up the pen to create my own creation, I can no longer write a word when I think of those famous articles. But if he wanted to plagiarize the masterpieces of his predecessors to achieve his own reputation, he couldn't do it anyway, so he only shook his head honestly and said: "My lord, forgive me, the student is really clumsy with Shifu, so there is no need to be ugly." ”

Murong Fu thought that Wu Xi would be disappointed when he heard what he said, in this era, poetry is like a pop song, even the people in the market will also chant poems against him. Who knew that Wu Xi was right in the middle of what he heard, Murong Fu was dignified and knowledgeable, if he could still say poems and sentences casually, it would be almost demonic. Now this situation is just right for him to show goodwill, and he immediately smiled and said: "Murong Gongzi's scripture and righteousness are already extraordinary, presumably because Yu Shifu has not yet comprehended it. Fortunately, you are still young, so you are not in a hurry, not in a hurry! This official has been an official for many years, but he has not saved gold and silver but has saved two rooms of books. ”

As soon as Wu Xi said this, the eyes of the several elders who came with Wu Xi barely erupted with fire. After they saddled up for Wu Xi, their own sons and nephews had never been treated like this, and they didn't want to let a nobody take the lead, but when they thought about Murong Fu's words, they were all gloomy. One day, the title of Murong Fu's gold list is whether Wu Xi will bring Murong Fu or Murong Fu will bring Wu Xishang. Wu Xi's kindness, Murong Fu naturally understood, although he was unwilling, he couldn't brush the face of his parents in public, and only gave a deep salute to thank Wu Xi for his cultivation.

After sending Wu Xi and the others away, Ah Zhu and Ah Bi immediately cheered in unison: "The prince wants to take the top prize!" Tour Jinming Pond and drink Qionglin Feast! "Over the years, Murong Fu has rarely mentioned the restoration of the country to them, and in terms of current values, he is naturally the most glamorous high school champion.

Sister-in-law Deng's heart in her own son-in-law's future is naturally more than a champion, it can be seen that the cheerful appearance of these two girls is also Wan'er, and she can't help but think of Murong Fu's demeanor when he beat his horse and whipped around the royal street one day. Unexpectedly, a trace of a smile on the corner of her mouth had not yet disappeared, and Gong Yeqian, who was standing beside her, suddenly rebuked angrily: "Ridiculous! ”

This "absurdity" was like a sharp knife piercing Sister-in-law Deng's heart, and the reverie in her heart disappeared in an instant. When she woke up, Azhu Abi was already hiding behind Murong Fu like two frightened birds, her fingers tightly tugging at his robe, and she whispered, "Childe......"

Murong Fu stroked the arms of the two of them soothingly, and motioned for the two to leave first. It wasn't until Azhu Abi's figure disappeared outside the door that he said to Gongye: "Second brother Gongye, Tong Yan is unscrupulous, why be angry?" ”

Gongye Qian retracted his gaze from the door angrily, and said with dissatisfaction: "The prince is too indulgent to treat these two girls!" ”

"If I can't even accept these two girls, how can I talk about the world?" Murong Fu only casually twitched his cuffs, "Getting back to the point, I'm afraid I won't have to travel recently." ”

As soon as Murong Fu said this, everyone was shocked, and said in unison: "What does Gongzi mean by this?" ”

"Lord Wu's cousin today, all the brothers have seen it, if I don't leave, do I really want to worship him as a teacher and go to the top exam in the future?" Murong Fu said in a deep voice, "I, the Murong clan, am determined to rule the world, but I still don't know anything about what this world is like, so it is only right to take this opportunity to see it." ”

Only then did the four ministers understand Murong Fu's intentions, and said in unison: "The prince is wise!" ”

Murong Fu remained silent, and finally said: "Since this is the case, this travel matter will bother Brother Deng and Sister-in-law Deng to make some arrangements for the reinstatement." With that, he took his hands and walked away.

Sister-in-law Deng was stunned for a while, and for some reason suddenly chased after Murong Fu under the corridor, and asked in a hesitant manner: "Son-in-law, son-in-law...... Could it be true, I never thought about it......" She originally wanted to ask Murong Fu if he had ever thought about entering the imperial examination, since even Lord Wu said that he was extraordinary. It's just that when the words came to his mouth, he was ashamed, so he had to change his words, "Haven't you ever thought about learning poetry?" ”

Murong Fu shook his head and said coldly: "The country is unfortunate and the poet is fortunate to be endowed with vicissitudes of life. Why should I learn? ”

"The unfortunate poet of the country is fortunate, the unfortunate poet of the country is fortunate to ......" Sister-in-law Deng silently repeated this poem twice, and said to herself, "It turns out that the poetry of the prince is also very good...... "She knew that she should be happy because of this, but for some reason there was a trace of indescribable sourness in her heart.
