Chapter 173: Prayers

The bachelor of Hanlin, to be precise, is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, who was a four-rank civil official in the Southern Tang Dynasty, specially designed for the saint and the prince to preach the scriptures, and prepare consultants to deal with it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

From Sipin's official position in Jiangning Mansion, the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty, where the power gathers, it is really not eye-catching.

However, due to the special position of the Hanlin Bachelor, he met frequently with the Holy Lord and the prince, so it could not be determined solely by his official position.

In particular, Jiang Fan, a scholar of Hanlin, is loved by the saints today, and often enters the palace to accompany him to read the scriptures and ask questions, and occasionally reiterates poems with the saint in the garden, and the holy favor can be seen.

Jiang Fan is about fifty years old, and outsiders say that he is extremely afraid of the inside, so there is only one wife in the family, or when Jiang Fan was not a scholar and the first time he married, the main wife Liu is not a lady, nor a person with a burning talent, but the daughter of a common man in the market.

There's another story in between.

Legend has it that Jiang Fan repeatedly failed to get the first place, and when he went to Beijing to catch the exam, he ran out of money, and he was poor, so he got the help of a cardamom girl in the market and gave him the money, so he fell in love with the girl at first sight, and finally made the girl marry.

It's just that the girl is also the Liu family, and she was born jealous, so Jiang Fan not only didn't accept a concubine, but she didn't even have a connecting room.

Naturally, this is a rumor in the market, and only the parties concerned know what the specific situation is.

Jiang Fan and Liu have two sons and a daughter, both of whom have already married, and his daughter Jiang Luo is the youngest and is very favored at home.

It's just a pity that since Jiang Luo married Fang Yong, Jiang Luo has no contact with his mother's family.

Su Fu wrote a letter of worship in the house, handed it to Gao Yang, and before he went to Beicheng, he turned to Xicheng and sent it to Jiang Fan's Mansion, and went with this letter, as well as the token that Jiang Luo asked for when she left Linchuan.

After all, Jiang Fan is an official, how could he see a little-known figure for no reason?

It was early autumn, but it dawned later than before.

Jiang Fan had breakfast in the main room, and Liu took the official uniform from the handmaid on the side and carefully changed Jiang Fan's clothes.

Liu has been changing his clothes for nearly 30 years, and his skills are already very skillful, but with a cup of tea, Jiang Fan in front of him appeared in front of her with great energy.

Jiang Fan squeezed Liu's hand, although there were many wrinkles on his face, the smile was exactly the same as thirty years ago.

Liu smiled back and said, "Let's go, don't miss the hour." ”

Jiang Fan just turned around, and almost bumped into the servant who was advancing with his head down, he frowned and scolded in a low voice, "Panicked, what kind of system?" ”

This servant is a little servant who follows Jiang Fan, and he knows what is most important, so he handed the greeting note handed over by the servant guarding the door in his hand to Jiang Fan, and said respectfully, "There is a fresh face outside the house, saying that he wants to visit the house tomorrow afternoon." ”

Jiang Fan didn't look at the prayer posts, there have been a lot of worship posts sent to the mansion over the years, and he didn't want to look at them again, so he simply frowned, and said, "I refused." ”

Zhishu didn't move, just spread out the jade pendant in his hand, and said, "This is that person's token, and it is said that the master will know it at a glance." ”

Jiang Fan subconsciously lowered his head, and when he saw the jade pendant in Zhishu's hand, his eyes were locked, and the hands that were very flexible in holding the pen and writing on weekdays were trembling at the moment, but at this moment he picked up the jade pendant, looked at it for a while, and then turned to look at Liu, "Madam, look." ”

Liu looked at the jade pendant in Jiang Fan's hand, and recognized it at a glance, this was their daughter and Lu's year, she gave Ah Luo's birthday gift, and the specially painted patterns were created by craftsmen, and there was no second piece in the world.

Now that Jiang Luo has been married for more than six years, goodbye to this jade pendant, Liu's past longing for the flood of the embankment is fully revealed, and the slightly cloudy eyes are full of tears.

Liu Shi looked at Jiang Fan, with complicated thoughts, "Master." ”

Thirty years of husband and wife, how could Jiang Fan not know what Liu was thinking.

He handed the jade pendant to Liu and said softly, "Everything will be said when I come back." ”

Then, he turned to look at Zhishu, "Let's go!" ”

It happened that he was going back to the palace, and the person who handed over the prayer note should still be outside the palace.

The person who delivered the letter was indeed still outside Jiangfu, but only Gao Yang.

Jiang Fan walked outside the mansion with apprehension, and looked at the person in front of him, his face was indeed unfamiliar, he made up his mind, walked to Gao Yang's side, and asked, "Do you want to see this official?" ”

Gao Yang bowed his head slightly, neither humble nor arrogant, just the right etiquette, "It's my family Langjun, because I am afraid that Bachelor Jiang will not be available today, so I asked me to send a letter of worship and ask Bachelor Jiang to meet at a time." ”

Jiang Fan was a little disappointed.

But now that he is so old, he has seen most of the things, and he will not do anything inappropriate just because he can't see him today.

Therefore, Jiang Fan looked at Gao Yang and said casually, "According to your family's Langjun's opinion, tomorrow afternoon, it will be past noon." ”

After Gao Yang listened, he lowered his head and responded.

Jiang Fan walked in front of Gao Yang, got into the carriage of Jiangfu, Zhishu followed behind, and went to Miyagi by the coachman.

After Gao Yang got Jiang Fan's letter, he lived up to Su Fu's expectations and drove the carriage to the ferry at the North City Gate.

Gao Yang was busy all day, and only returned to Dongcheng when it was close to dusk, and brought Jiang Fan's words to Su Fu.

Jiang Fan agreed to see her, which was completely unexpected by her.

Since she was going to see Jiang Fan, she naturally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity.

At noon on the second day, Su Fu packed up and drove to Xicheng by Hongying.

The servants guarding the door of the Jiang Mansion obeyed the orders of the master's family and let the two go.

Later, another servant took the two to the study in the outer courtyard.

Red Tassel was left outside the study.

She pushed the door alone and walked in, and saw Jiang Fan carefully wiping the only long sword in the study.

When she saw this scene, she didn't show a look of fear, but chuckled.

Jiang Fan raised his head and looked at the small Lang Jun in front of him who was blindfolded with a white veil and a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and instantly felt that this little Langjun was unusually handsome.

Jiang Fan closed the long sword in his hand, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Su Fu responded, "I'm laughing, Master Jiang seems to be intimidating me." ”

Jiang Fan frowned, he did have this thought, he didn't know what the purpose of the person was coming, but he first wanted to give the person who came a dismount, but it was useless for Ma Wei to meet such a handsome Lang Jun this time.

In fact, Jiang Fan cares about chaos, and when he doesn't figure things out, who will stab someone to death as soon as they meet?

Su Fu didn't know Jiang Fan at all, so she had to hold her ground and not let people look down on her.

Jiang Fan ignored this sentence and pointed to the seat on the side, "Sit." ”

Su Fu was not polite at all, so he sat down.

Jiang Fan is nearly fifty years old, and the aura of a humble gentleman in the past has not changed, and the polishing of time has made Jiang Fan more profound, such a person, regardless of age, is a very attractive person.

"Tell me, the purpose of your coming here, and also, the little girl's jade pendant, where did you get it?" Jiang Fan got straight to the point.

Su Fu naturally didn't beat around the bush, "I passed by Linchuan when I came to Jiangning, and a few years ago, Bachelor Jiang's daughter and husband went to Linchuan County, Fuzhou to take office, and Bachelor Jiang should know about it." (To be continued.) )
