Chapter 180: Laughing it off
"If you don't believe it, I really want to be a rich young master, but my strength doesn't allow it! There is one more thing I have to tell you, you have said so much, you have never thought about why the swallow valve didn't trouble me? ”
Fu Xiaoguan picked up the teacup, Yuan Zhen's gaze froze, and Mrs. Yuan also frowned.
As a subordinate of the right Shilang, Yuan Zhen's official is not big, but he is in contact with almost all the major events in various parts of the Yu Dynasty.
As the highest administrative body of the Yu Dynasty, the twists and turns of the Yu Dynasty are all reviewed by the Zhongshu Sect and then submitted to the Prime Minister. Yuan Zhen has been serving as the right Shilang in Menxia Province for five years, although he has never been able to say a few words to Prime Minister Yan Beixi, but he understands what kind of person Yan Beixi is.
can live firmly in a country, Yan Beixi is certainly not a good person.
However, Yuan Zhen didn't realize that a small part of this matter in the court was not passed from the bottom to the top, but from the top down. This secret will not be passed on to Yuan Zhen's level, so there is basically no secret he knows.
For example, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess went down to see Dong Kangping.
For example, why did Dong Xiujin go out and be a platform.
For example, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and Prime Minister Yan Beixi once had a deep talk and reached a number of consensuses.
It's not Yuan Zhen's fault, it's his low status.
So Fu Xiaoguan asked, he was confused, yes, such a powerful Yan Valve, why didn't he trouble Fu Xiaoguan?
And the current situation shows that Dong Kangping agrees with the matter of these two people, is it possible that a person as shrewd as Dong Kangping will let Shulan marry because of Fu Xiaoguan's literary talent?
Yuan Zhen took a deep breath, very puzzled in his heart, but he still insisted on his opinion.
"As for why Yan Valve didn't trouble you, I can't control this matter. But I am Shulan's third uncle, and I can still say a few words about Shulan's marriage. Yan Xiwen and Shulan grew up in Jinling together, and they also studied in the same school palace, which can be described as childhood sweethearts. Yan Xiwen is the eldest son and grandson of Yan Valve, and he will inherit the position of the head of the Yan Valve family in the future. But what about you? Young people, people are precious and self-aware......"
Before Yuan Zhen's words were finished, he saw a door leading Yan Xiwen in.
Today, the eldest is in the first year of junior high school, Yan Xiwen doesn't understand why this Yuan Mansion handed him a post early in the morning, saying that there is an extremely important matter that needs to invite him to come to Yuan Mansion to meet.
Yan Xiwen thought about it and had nothing to do with this Yuan Mansion, okay, he was just curious about what was important, so he came.
Then, he froze.
What the hell!
Yuan Zhen, this old bastard, is so bad!
Dong Shulan is here, Fu Xiaoguan is also here, this is the biggest pain in Yan Xiwen's heart, he has already learned the ins and outs of all this from his father, and he has also known that there is no possibility between himself and Dong Shulan, he has been avoiding this, it's good today, this Yuan Zhen actually put this matter on the stage.
Yan Xiwen didn't show it, he looked kind, and gave Fu Xiaoguan a deep bow, this is the gift of that disciple.
Yuan Zhen and his wife opened their mouths in astonishment, looked at them in surprise, and saw Yan Xiwen walking towards Fu Xiaoguan, sat down next to Fu Xiaoguan, and said with a smile: "Brother Fu, I have been treated well by you when I was in Xishan, and I knew that you were coming to Shangjing, and I was still thinking about inviting you to go to the Sifang Building for a gathering in the third year of junior high school." It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun, seeing that noon is approaching, I will invite you to a meal at noon? ”
What's going on?
Yuan Zhen and his wife thought that this Yan Xiwen would definitely crush Fu Xiaoguan into slag as soon as he came, he would definitely show his mind to Shulan, as long as Yan Xiwen's attitude came out and then publicized it, because of Yan Valve's face, Yan Shidao would definitely go to Dong Mansion to propose marriage.
As long as this family matter is mentioned, Dong Kangping can't think about it, Dong Kangping can only agree, because Yan Valve can't afford to lose the face of being rejected.
But now Yan Xiwen not only didn't mention it, he even just looked at Dong Shulan apologetically, and then just sat and chatted with Fu Xiaoguan casually, and invited Fu Xiaoguan to have a meal at noon!
Where is the kind of hatred between the two like the hatred of taking their wives!
The two are like old friends who haven't seen each other for a long time!
Fu Xiaoguan thought for a while, it was not appropriate for Dong Shulan to go together, and he was not engaged yet, so he couldn't let Dong Shulan contact this guy.
So he smiled and said: "Thank you Brother Xiwen for your kindness, it's really not okay today, Shulan and I are visiting relatives, and we have to go back to the Dong Mansion to hand over this errand later." When are you going to Yao County? Why don't I set a table in the Sifang Building and invite Fang Wenxing and them to get together in the future? ”
"I had to leave on the fifth day of junior high school, and I shouldn't have come back, but I had to come back for some things in my heart. Then it's set for tomorrow, I'll go to the Sifang Building to set a table, you have to listen to me in this matter, after all, I'm a native of Jinling. Fang Wenxing and they have also made up for the real shortcomings, and they are about to leave Beijing on the fifth day of the new year to go to various places to take office, and it will be a little difficult to get together again in the future, hey......! ”
Yan Xiwen sighed and took a sip of the teacup, "That happy time is gone, in fact, I really hope to leave after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month." ”
"Want to spend more time in Shangjing?" Fu Xiaoguan was not surprised, because it was not easy to come back, and I am afraid that it would be another year to go.
Yan Xiwen shook his head. "It's not that I'm nostalgic for home, but because of the Shangyuan Poetry Club on the fifteenth day of the first month. I want to win a game against you, I'm convinced that the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Club will lose, but I won't necessarily lose to you again at the Shangyuan Festival Poetry Meeting, right? It's a pity, I'm afraid this game will be difficult to get back, if you make any good poems at the Shangyuan Poetry Conference, remember to send a letter to me and tell it. ”
Yuan Zhen and his wife are even more confused, I invited you to come for you and Dong Shulan's affairs, you actually used me to reminisce about the past!
Is it going in the wrong direction?
And looking at the chat between these two, it seems that there is still friendship between the two!
What the hell is going on?
Yuan Zhen didn't dare to ask, even if Yan Xiwen was just a small county magistrate, he still didn't dare to ask, and even at this moment he could only listen.
Dong Shulan felt that Yan Xiwen seemed to have changed a lot, this person is indeed a good person, I hope he can find someone he likes in the future.
Fu Xiaoguan didn't expect Yan Xiwen's purpose of wanting to stay in Shangjing, he touched his nose and smiled: "Brother Xiwen, if you want to say that you want to govern a place, I don't think it's as good as you, but if it comes to poetry and articles...... Brother is not bragging to you, you really can't catch up. ”
Yan Xiwen glared at Fu Xiaoguan angrily, then deflated, and sighed again: "Do you know? In fact, I could have gone directly to any state governor, but grandpa didn't allow ......" Then he looked at Fu Xiaoguan incomprehensibly, "I'm afraid you don't believe it, grandpa said to me like this: In terms of poetry and articles, you are not as good as Fu Xiaoguan, and in terms of the way of governing the world, you are not as good as Fu Xiaoguan." Then, like your father, start from the land of a county. ”
"Listen, I wonder if it's my grandfather or yours! How can there be a reason for his grandfather to praise others for harming his grandson! ”
Fu Xiaoguan is happy, this kid has been a county magistrate for two months, and he has a lot of ruffian breath.
However, these words sounded like a thunderclap in the ears of Yuan Zhen and his wife, what? This Fu Xiaoguan actually got such a high evaluation from Yan Beixi?
Why is he?
Just that disaster relief strategy?
"Brother Xiwen, you have to believe what your grandfather said, after all, Jiang is still old and spicy, right?"
"Get out!"
"Hahaha......!"
The sun was shining outside, and the two teenagers were talking and laughing.
Where there is hatred, where there is any jealousy and bullshit.
Yan Xiwen was born in a political family and understands the word politics. There is nothing wrong with him liking Dong Shulan, but when he knew the truth behind a small part, he already understood that there was no possibility between himself and Dong Shulan.
He didn't know why Fu Xiaoguan was favored by Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, nor did he understand why Fu Xiaoguan was favored by Shang Guifei, he didn't need to know the reason, as long as there was this result, he would already be able to judge a lot of things.
This time, the Yan family also suffered losses in investigating the corruption of ink, but compared with the other five valves, the loss of the Yan valve was the smallest, because Yan Beixi simply broke his wrist and reached some agreement with Shang Guifei behind his back.
As the initiator of this incident, Fu Xiaoguan, Yan Xiwen has begun to pay enough attention to him.
Fu Xiaoguan is a chess piece, which he knows very well, he used to think that after the investigation of the corruption of ink, Fu Xiaoguan's chess piece would be abandoned, but what happened afterwards seems that he was not only not abandoned, but also very likely crossed the river and became a pawn who could walk sideways.
Because of that disaster relief strategy, and because he was going to envoy to the Wu Dynasty later, he was even very likely to go to the wasteland with Her Royal Highness the Third Princess at the end of the year and serve as the envoy of Nahe.
These don't seem to be important, but an old fox like Yan Beixi, who is keen, can smell a different flavor in it.
"In the court of this Yu Dynasty, the officials and guards are intertwined, it seems that Your Majesty doesn't want to endure it anymore. This kid responded to the situation and appeared at the most opportune time, but I was afraid that ...... When the storm comes, this kid will turn into a dragon for a while! ”
This sentence was said by Yan Beixi to Yan Shidao, just last night, Yan Xiwen naturally heard it, he understood what his grandfather meant, but he still didn't see why this kid was able to turn into a dragon.
"How long are you going to stay in Shangjing?" Yan Xiwen asked.
"I'm afraid it's going to be a long time."
"What about Yao County's investment? But don't forget! ”
"Don't worry, I remember the money most clearly, I have written a letter to my father, and my father will go to your territory with Steward Zhang to see it in the new year. But let's talk about the ugliness ahead, I won't miss a penny of the taxes that should be paid, but you must not interfere with my business methods. ”
Yan Xiwen laughed, "Are you so idle with me?" Okay, I'll see you at noon tomorrow. ”
He stood up as he spoke, and said a word to Yuan Zhen: "You, I think you are just idle!" ”
