Chapter 25: Revisited

The carriage stopped at the intersection of West Street, and Li Dafu lifted the curtain and was about to jump down, but his movements suddenly paused, and he muttered: "Why is he here?" ”

Su Ximei had already lifted the curtain and looked out, but she was also stunned, and a little surprise flashed in her eyes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

I thought I would never meet that person in my life, but I didn't expect to meet him after going around and around.

Across the street is a silk shop, where Zhang Cheng is carefully selecting among a stack of silks. There was a beautiful woman standing beside him, and the woman was also upright and in her prime, wearing a pink narcissus gown with a plain white shark gauze skirt, and when she laughed, she was charming and delicate, and she couldn't hide her shyness between her eyebrows.

It was Fang Wanru, the second lady of the Fang family, if it wasn't for the second wife of the Zhang family, she wouldn't have known that Zhang Cheng was going to marry Fang Wanru as his wife.

It turned out that the Zhang family was hiding from her! In a fit of rage, she ran to the door of the Fang family's mansion to ask for an explanation, and happened to bump into Zhang Cheng who diligently helped Fang Wanru to get into the carriage and leave......

"You know him?" Su Ximei asked softly, her eyes as calm as water.

Li Dafu lowered the curtain and sat back.

"How could Ben Gongzi know that kind of goods!" There was disdain in his tone, "But I know him, he is a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and I heard that he is going to marry Miss Yan of the Fang family on March 15." ”

March 15th? Isn't that the month?

I thought that he had already married Miss Fang and was the uncle of the Fang family.

Su Ximei looked back with a hint of puzzlement in her eyes.

Li Dafu thought that she had never heard of the Fang family in the capital, so she explained patiently.

"The Fang family is a scholarly family, and there have been two second-class members in the clan, but later the clan was not angry and lost the family business, at that time, the Fang family moved to the capital after the division of the clan, and the eldest son Fang Hongwen finally won the list for ten years, and the Fang family has today."

Li Dafu saw that Su Ximei was still staring at him in a daze, so he added: "Fang Hongwen is the current head of the Fang family, the Shaoqing of the Taifu Temple who lives in the fourth grade. ”

Su Ximei nodded, and then put down the curtain in her hand.

It's no wonder that a dignified and high-ranking member will look down on the young master of the Zhang family, who is just a national supervisor and a scholar.

There are probably too many similarities between their pasts.

Although the Zhang family is a small family, it has also produced a few high-ranking officials who have won the imperial court. Later, the Zhang family also declined in the same way, although there were two or three children in the clan, but it did not play any role in the development and inheritance of the Zhang family.

After the division of the sect, the descendants of the Zhang family moved their family to the capital, even if they smashed the pot and sold iron, they had to find a good future for the eldest young master of the Zhang family.

The Zhang family's past is not as good as the Shang family, but such a similar experience may make Master Fang feel compassion.

What's more, although the Fang family looks beautiful today, if you think about it carefully, you will find that the Fang family's reputation in the court is declining day by day.

It can be said that Master Fang supported the entire Fang family alone.

And among the descendants of the Fang family, only two sons in law have the qualifications to enter the Guozijian, and Master Fang will definitely do his best to attract the up-and-coming students of the Guozijian for the future of the Fang family.

Without the support of younger generations, even if the current scenery is infinite, I am afraid that it will repeat the mistakes of the past in a few decades.

"Master Fang is a clear-minded person." The corners of Su Ximei's mouth hooked slightly.

Li Dafu snorted coldly, "It's just a mere scholar, Fang Hongwen's old fox is also an important minister of the imperial court, and it is really strange that he would agree to this marriage." ”

Although everything is inferior, only reading is high, but it also pays attention to a good match.

The Zhang family is indeed too far behind the Fang family.

However, among the scholars of Guozijian, the sons who are in the limelight either have a rich family background or have the support of the family behind them, only the Zhang family has nothing, probably this is the reason why Master Fang chose Zhang Cheng.

If Zhang Cheng wanted to have a good way out, he had to rely on the Fang family and serve the Fang family wholeheartedly. At that time, the Zhang family and the Fang family will be two families with the same spirit.

Master Fang got rid of his views and worked for the Fang family for a hundred years, and he was indeed a far-sighted old fox.

Su Ximei looked at Li Dafu's expression as if he had swallowed a fly, and couldn't help laughing.

"Did he offend you in some way? You seem to be prejudiced against him. ”

When Li Dafu heard this, he grinned and said: "That kid is unscrupulous in order to climb the high branches, I heard that he originally had a wife who didn't pass through the door, but somehow, suddenly there was no news, and I don't know what means he used to force people away." ”

"And what did he say?" The smile on Su Ximei's face was still there, but her eyes seemed to be bottomless.

If a wife who didn't pass through the door suddenly disappeared, that person must have something to say.

"What else could he say!" Li Dafu pouted and said, "Doesn't it mean that fate is over, people have a better home, leave a letter and leave, anyway, I don't believe it." ”

"Did he really say that?" Su Ximei looked at him with raised eyebrows at the corners of her mouth, but her eyes were even deeper.

"When did I lie to you?" Li Dafu looked indignant, "That kid is a complete villain, you must not be deceived by his polite appearance, how can his dirty mind escape the fiery eyes of this son!" ”

The two little girls laughed out loud. Yuan Xiang snorted in his nose, "Li Gongzi, I don't know who is pretending to be a weak person with a missing arm and a broken leg, and I am embarrassed to say that I am not deceiving!" ”

"Who do you say?" Li Dafu's face was suddenly full of anger, and he roared at Yuanxiang.

"That's you! You big liar! Yuanxiang's round eyes widened, and she held her neck up, not to be outdone.

Li Dafu was so angry that his eyebrows were raised, "Anyway, what I said is true, that kid's wife who has not passed through the door has only been away for more than half a year and can't wait to marry Miss Fang, didn't she hook up with it a long time ago!" It's a pity that some people just can't understand it, and they think how affectionate he is, his wife who didn't pass through the door left a book and ran away, and he waited for half a year, what an infatuated person he must be! ”

Li Dafu said the last sentence with cynicism in his tone, Su Ximei laughed softly, then raised her hand to lift the curtains, and her eyes fell on the silk shop across the street.

Zhang Cheng was still choosing the silk, Fang Wanru looked at him with a smile on her head, as if she was listening to what he was saying, and nodded slightly.

――――――――――――

"Even if what you say is the truth, you can't deny that you are a big liar!"

Yuan Xiang picked up the curtain of the car and snorted at Li Dafu outside, Li Dafu was jumping under the carriage, when he heard this girl's words, his eyelids were trembling with anger, and he accidentally broke his foot.

"Fourth Brother Tong, let's go." Su Ximei commanded lightly.

Tong Hai is a sincere person, and when he heard Miss Seven's instructions, he raised his horsewhip. As soon as Li Dafu turned around and was about to say something, the carriage left like a gust of wind, and almost hit his nose, which he thought was handsome.

Li Dafu was startled and shouted at the carriage, "The master and servant are all bad-tempered, and they will only bully honest people like Ben Gongzi!" ”

Sure enough, it's not a family that doesn't enter the door! I didn't see the carriage so fast!
