Chapter Twenty-Three: Young Master Long'er (2)
The next day, they came to the Jade Dragon Paper Store again, and the net was also arranged. The hour has passed, and there is no shadow of the sharp voice. Ma Yuanwai couldn't sit still, he wondered if he had revealed his words yesterday, or if it was really like what the prince said, this person had seen him in the Internal Affairs Office. Fuyou was not in a hurry, fanning his iron-handled fan, chatting with Shopkeeper Zhou from time to time. Shopkeeper Zhou is really good, he is willing to help enthusiastically if he doesn't know him, it's not like some businessmen who are mercenary, and they don't buy things and drink tea here? I've been ignoring you for a long time.
It was already past noon, and Shrill Voice and his accomplices showed up. This is the hottest time and the fewest people. He changed into new clothes, wrapped things tightly with cloth, came to the store, and asked the shopkeeper Zhou in a low voice: "Is that Second Master Fu here?" ā
"It's coming," said the shopkeeper Zhou, "why are you here?" If you don't come again, people don't want to wait! ā
"To tell the truth, the thing is not mine, he is always hesitant, whether to sell or not, not to sell, still waiting for money, to sell, and afraid that it will not be sold at a high price. By the way, the owner of this thing said that he wanted silver. ā
"What? Cash? A total of tens of thousands of taels of silver, do you dare to bring it? Besides, you didn't tell anyone beforehand. ā
Fuyou walked out of the door, shook a big fan, and stood in front of a sharp voice: "Fu Mou is here, what do you call Mr.?" ā
"You don't have to call it, do you? I brought something under it, and I ask Mr. Fu to pay the cash. ā
"It's good to say, let's look at the goods a priori."
The shrill voice opened the baggage, and ten antiques were the same. Fuyou said to Ma Yuanwai and Shopkeeper Zhou: "Trouble two, look carefully." ā
Ma Yuanwai picked up the golden seal of the concubine, looked at it for a long time and deliberately said: "This one is a fake." ā
Screaming in a shriek: "Nonsense! This is obviously true, and it was used by the concubine Niangniang of the previous dynasty......"
"Did you see the concubine of the previous dynasty use it?" Fuyou smiled and said, "This father-in-law, it's not good to take things from the palace, right?" ā
The sharp voice was dumbfounded: "You, who are you?" ā
"You have to ask who he is?" Outside, two soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army escorted a white-haired bearded old man in: "Second Master Fu! Prisoners brought! ā
At this moment, Sharp Throat grabbed an antique and was about to throw it to the ground, Fuyou grabbed his wrist at once, and as soon as his hand was released, the red coral bowl was about to fall from his hand. Long Er caught the bowl at once. He then grabbed the four corners of the treasure bag not far from the sharp throat, and took it away, while the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army also twisted his arm. Fuyou nodded approvingly at Long'er.
Shopkeeper Zhou was shocked and cast an inquiring glance at Fuyou. Fuyou sat on the chair and looked at Shopkeeper Zhou: "Is it strange?" ā
Shopkeeper Zhou said, "Mr. Fu, what's going on?" How can there be a matter of father-in-law in the palace? ā
Fuyou said: "Unfortunately, Mr. Zhou said that the antiques were all stolen from the palace by the white-haired Shen Gonggong, and let these two help him sell them, and Fu and Mr. Ma are responsible for investigating this case." ā
Shopkeeper Zhou hurriedly asked: "Then you must be an adult from the Criminal Department?" ā
"No, Fu is just an idle person, just a favor. This case, thanks to the assistance of Shopkeeper Zhou and Young Master Long, especially Young Master Long protected these antiques at a critical moment, and Fu reported to the imperial court for a reward. ā
There was no time to elaborate, so Fuyou immediately resigned from the shopkeeper Zhou and went to deal with the aftermath of the case. He is a specific case-handling officer, and he must be present at the interrogation.
Emperor Shunzhi was very grateful to the imperial brother for arresting the criminals in such a quick time, and all the lost treasures were recovered one by one. Fuyou also told the emperor about the help of Zhou's shopkeeper and nephew, and the emperor immediately ordered the uncle of the Yulong Paper Store to reward the treasurer and nephew with two hundred taels of silver.
A few days later, the case was over, and Fuyou and Tian Liang came to the Jade Dragon Paper Store again with the emperor's reward. When the shopkeeper heard that it was a reward from the emperor, he was grateful, and quickly kowtowed to thank him. At this time, Shopkeeper Zhou and Long Er realized that this Second Master Fu was not an ordinary errand officer who handled the case, and those who could talk directly to the emperor were definitely not idle people. The two nephews and uncles were busy bowing again with a big bow and changed their names to "Fu Daren".
Fuyou picked them up and said, "How to call them is secondary." Fu often hears people say that most people in business are treacherous, and this is definitely not the case with your nephew. Fu is a person in Buddhism, and he knows that whether a person is developed or not does not lie in how to calculate others, but in the innate blessings. I hope that you will continue to apply your kind, kind, and helpful ways of doing things in business. Fu Moujian yƬ you expand the storefront, increase the identification, evaluation of antiques, calligraphy and painting business, give full play to a skill, it is likely to develop in the future. ā
Shopkeeper Zhou and Young Master Long were very grateful to Fuyou for proposing the establishment of yƬ, and said that they would use the emperor's reward to expand the storefront.
Fuyou said: "Fu is a martial artist, although not on horseback to grow up, but also half a life from the martial arts, since entering the customs, gradually like and advocate the Central Plains culture, Chinese culture for 5,000 years, long history, broad and profound, Fu very much want to be a learned person. I also want to make friends with the two of you, I wonder if the two can accept it? ā
Shopkeeper Zhou knew that Mr. Fu was a man and was deeply moved by his sincerity, and hurriedly said: "Master Fu is so polite and virtuous, and I am willing to become a close friend with you." ā
Fuyou also said: "Although Young Master Long is much younger than Fu, his knowledge and talent are beyond Fu's reach, can you be willing to make a good friend with Fu?" ā
Long Er blushed, but said very cheerfully: "Long Er is willing." ā
When asked about his age, the shopkeeper Zhou was the eldest, forty-three years old, followed by Fuyou, thirty-seven years old, and Long'er was the youngest, seventeen years old.
Fuyou asked: "Mr. Zhou's appreciation of antiques must be a family history?" ā
"Where, in the next is He Long'er's father, that is, he is the brother-in-law who is below, and he is a well-educated person. As soon as Long Er could speak, his brother-in-law taught him to read Tang poems and Song Ci, and when he could hold a pen in his hand, he began to write and draw. By the age of five or six, you will be able to read a lot of famous articles. Later, he taught him to appreciate antiques, and now Long'er is not a scholar but also a scholar who is a scholar of three teachings and nine streams, and a scholar who collects miscellaneous studies. "I don't know if he's praising his brother-in-law or praising Long'er.
Fuyou stretched out his thumb and praised Long Er and said, "I didn't expect you to be young and knowledgeable." ā
Long Er blushed again: "Don't listen to your uncle's nonsense, what does Long Er know?" ā
"What did your father do? Is it an official or a business? ā
"My father once edited in the Hanlin Academy, but because he was too upright, he offended his boss and was let go, and now he is the magistrate of Zunhua."
"May I ask what he is called?"
"Chen Jingzi Dabin."
"Chen Dabin? Your father is Chen Dabin? Fuyou suddenly stood up and grabbed Long'er's wrist, "Is your father really Chen Dabin?" ā
Long'er felt that his wrist was about to break, and he grinned and shouted, "Mr. Fu, Mr. Fu, Long'er's wrist ......"
"I'm sorry, Fu lost his temper." Fuyou hurriedly let go of Long'er and smiled.
Long Er rubbed his wrist and said, "Your hands are so strong!" ā
"Fu Mou also has this strength. Son, is your father tall and skinny? Danfeng eyes, hanging eyebrows? ā
Long Er laughed: "Exactly, is Long Er very much like his father?" ā
"Like some, not all. The first time I saw you, it felt familiar. Is your father well? Do you have a chance to enter Beijing? Would love to meet him. ā
"Coincidentally, in a few days, my father will go to Beijing to report to the Ministry of Officials."
"Then you must go to Fu's house to talk about it. By the way, the horse clerk who handled the case with Fu was still your father's high feet. You don't know? When the time comes, he will also be invited, your nephew and uncle, and your mother, all come to the house, and everyone will be lively! ā
Long Er said, "Definitely, definitely." However, we still don't know your official secrets, where is the house? ā
Fuyou hurriedly said: "Look at me, it's not bad to say that it's a martial artist!" Fu is called Fuyou, and there is a Fuyuan General's Mansion in the north of Xisi, that's it. ā
"General Fuyuan's Mansion? Bliss? You, you are the Lord of Rui! "It's time for the dragon to lose his temper this time. He grabbed his uncle and knelt down first: "The prince forgives the sin!" ā
"King, lord?" Mr. Zhou's jaw was about to hit his feet.
"Long'er, Mr. Zhou, please get up, we're already friends, aren't we?"
"You are the second master Fu that my father said had the grace of knowing him! Forgive the sins of disrespect to the younger generations! It's really rude! Long Er knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times: "The benefactor is above, please accept the little nephew!" ā
"Don't do this, you kid! Fu and your father have a fate and become close friends. Hurry up, hurry up. Outside, they all call me Fu Erye. ā
Shopkeeper Zhou was very happy: "Lord Wang, tell me bluntly, Long'er is actually a girl." Her real name is Chen Ruiyun, and she came out to do business with her, which was not very convenient, so she wore men's clothes and called a boy's name. The small shop under it is named after her small characters.
"Not to mention, Young Master Long played by Long Er is really very chic and handsome."
"You're wrong. In this way, it is time for Long'er to call you Uncle Fu, and Long'er has changed back to Yun'er. Uncle is above, please be worshiped by my niece! Yun'er said a blessing to Fuyou. Fuyou laughed.
"Yun'er dares to ask Uncle Wang, how many young ladies are there in your house? Oh, it should be called Gege. Yun'er is the only daughter of her parents and would love to have a sister. ā
"Son, my uncle's only flaw is that he still has no children."
"Didn't your wife give birth?"
"Nope. We've been married for almost twenty years, and she hasn't had children. ā
"Where's your side room? Also childless? ā
"Uncle didn't take the side room."
"You are the prince, will there be a side room?"
"Uncle and Mrs. were very affectionate, and did not think about the side room. It's okay not to have children, worry-free. It's not early, for fear of delaying your business, Fu said goodbye and hoped to go to the house another day. ā
"Definitely, definitely! When my father comes to Beijing, Yun'er's father and daughter and uncle will definitely come to visit! ā
"Okay, that's it? Fu took his leave. Fuyou clenched his fists and walked out of the room.
"Congratulations to the prince."
The three of them left, Shopkeeper Zhou wiped the cold sweat on his head, sat on the chair, poured half a cup of tea and drank it, and said with palpitations: "Obediently, this is too inch, right?" Mr. Fu is actually the prince! I didn't say anything unfavorable to the court. Thanks to you Yun'er, why didn't my uncle think of it? I have long heard that there is a prince who is called 'King Xiaoyao' whose name is Fuyou, and our Han people also have the surname Fu, so I think he is a Han person, and then he said what the Central Plains culture is, only to know that it is a Manchu person, and even a Manchu person did not expect him to be a prince. ā
"Look at you cowardly, that's what you say, we should also be 'those who don't know don't blame', we helped him, and he turned around and arrested you?"
"It's hard to say, the Manchu royal family has a very grudge against the old and young of the former Ming Dynasty, and we have to be charged with the crimes of the remnants of the former Ming Dynasty. I'm not going to go to his house. ā
"Evian'er, I think you really should make friends with this Rui Wangye. I heard my father say that Prince Rui has a very good reputation in the court, even if he doesn't go to the court, he also helps the emperor to observe the people's feelings. It was when he was drinking tea in a teahouse, he met his father who was admitted by two errand officials, and he had to be taken to the criminal department, and was rescued by this Rui Wangye, and beat the two errand officials with an iron-handled big fan to the head full of bags, gurgling......"
"You're still laughing! My uncle was scared to death. ā
