Chapter 74: No More Advances

For this result, the stepmother Granny Li was prepared for a long time.

She clenched Fan Yu's arm and said, "The old man took out the gold bead and showed it to Bao Qing, and he already knew that it would be like this." This matter started because of me, and the old body does not embarrass you. However, Yu'er has already proven his innocence, so what reason does Bao Qing have to limit him? ”

Since Fan Yu had proven his innocence at this time, there was no pressure on his body, and he said with a smile: "Mother, Bao Qincha must have his reason for arranging it like this." Since the child is innocent, he is relaxed. It's also okay to take care of your mother here. ”

When Granny Li, the stepmother, heard Fan Yu's words, her face immediately burst into laughter, "Yu'er, the sins you suffered with your mother, in the future, your mother will repay you doublely." Never let you, a filial child, suffer the slightest grievance. ”

"Mother is talking nonsense again." Fan Yu Zhengse said: "At the beginning, the child had the idea of relying on his mother for his life, but what did he covet his mother? Now that our mother and son don't worry about eating, drinking, being safe and happy, we have to repay our mother. The child is filial to his mother, is it to repay it? ”

Granny Li just patted Fan Yu's arm vigorously and said, "Okay, good, my mother depends on you." Your eldest brother is also a little promising, so let him treat you better then. ”

"At the beginning, I asked my mother who my eldest brother was, but I never thought that it was the current official family." Fan Yu smiled: "It scared me, but now that I think about it, I'm really happy for my mother." ”

"The poor official family has been separated from me for many years, and now that I have seen it, I am afraid that it will be very divided." Granny Li said worriedly.

Fan Yu comforted: "Mother, don't worry, children often hear that the official family is benevolent and filial, and he is a wise man." In this case, how can there be no reason for unfilial piety, my mother is a little cowardly. If my mother is not used to living in the palace, let's come back to live. ”

Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce listened to the mother and son talking next to them, and only felt that the two of them were a little redundant. But he still had something to do, so he had to interrupt Fan Yu's mother and son's words.

"I stayed with Fan Yu, naturally there is a reason. Since Mrs. Li said it, let him arrange the family properly. Bao Zheng pondered for a moment, then agreed to Granny Li's request, and continued: "But there is one point, this time, Mrs. Li and Fan Yu are going to return to Beijing with this official. Especially the identity of Mrs. Li, whether it is true or not, it needs to be confirmed by the deceased. ”

Fan Yu knew that Bao Zheng actually believed that the identity of his stepmother was true. Otherwise, I wouldn't have agreed to let myself go home and arrange things. But this is just Bao Zheng's attitude, and after entering Bianliang, there must be many unknown troubles.

If it was just the stepmother who entered Beijing alone, there might not be any variables. But with one more self like an oil bottle, things may not go as expected.

However, Fan Yu is also mentally prepared for this. At present, some things are uncontrollable, so you can only go with the flow and let them develop. But as long as you don't have much to do and don't cause trouble, I'm afraid it won't be much of a problem.

"It's all up to Baucin to decide." Fan Yu said to Bao Zheng.

Bao Zheng nodded and said to Granny Li: "Mrs. Li should be tired, but go and rest first." The official has something to talk to Fan Yu. ”

Fan Yu didn't know what Bao Zheng wanted to say to himself, so it must be inconvenient to talk about it in front of his stepmother.

"Mother, don't worry about the child. I think there are some things that Bao Qincha has to ask me. Fan Yu persuaded.

Gongsun Ce went outside and called the two sisters, Chen Fang and Chen Yuan, to come in, and helped Granny Li to rest. When he came in, Zhan Zhao was also called in.

Zhan Zhao looked at Fan Yu and looked at it all over.

"Little Brother Fan, your stepmother, is really Concubine Li Chen?" Zhan Zhao couldn't help asking.

I was also asking about something, when Bao Zheng and Fan Yu looked at each other and said, "When your stepmother called herself Concubine Li Chen, the official didn't look much surprised at you, which was very strange. Could it be that you have long known that Mrs. Li is the first emperor's concubine Li Chen! ”

Fan Yu's heart was also moved, he still didn't hide it, and he was seen by Bao Zheng.

But he couldn't admit it so happily, "I don't know that my mother is Concubine Li Chen's business." ”

Bao Zheng sneered, paced two steps before saying, "This official thinks that you have seen the gold beads hidden by Mrs. Li before. Recognize the imprint of the imperial system, so that Mrs. Li will be recognized as her mother-in-law, so that she can become rich and wealthy in the future! If so, his heart can be punished! ”

Fan Yu opened his mouth and stammered, he had indeed never seen his stepmother's golden beads before. But knowing her identity is true, because she came through time.

In the face of Bao Zheng's inference that his purpose of recognizing his stepmother was impure, he was actually trying to achieve greater wealth.

"Bao Qincha, if I am greedy for wealth and wealth, can I put the gold bead back when I see it? I'm afraid that it will not be difficult to sell for tens or hundreds of dollars. Fan Yu shook his head slightly and said, "Could it be that I really go to gamble, is my stepmother the real Concubine Li Chen?" Then what year and month will the stepmother recognize her relatives? Instead of waiting, I might as well take the gold beads, which is easier and more affordable. ”

Bao Zheng nodded and said: "What you said also makes sense, but why didn't you feel much surprised when Mrs. Li revealed her identity, how can this be explained?" ”

Fan Yu smiled bitterly, he really didn't hide it, but this question must be answered.

"Bao Qincha, my stepmother treats me like her own child, what will she hide from me?" Fan Yu made a helpless look and said: "My stepmother has already told me about this, but I didn't take it seriously. Today, my stepmother saw Bao Qincha and took out the gold beads that she had collected closely, which made me believe a little. ”

I have to say that Fan Yu's explanation is more reasonable, and it can also remove some of Bao Zheng's doubts.

"This is the end of the matter." Bao Zheng glanced at Zhan Zhaocai and continued: "I heard Brother Zhan say that you have set up a pot-making workshop. Although it is called making pots, it is used by the military. Tomorrow, you will stop this pot workshop. After returning to Beijing, this official will play the Ming court, which can compensate you. ”

Fan Yu looked at Zhan Zhao, and Zhan Zhao nodded to him and said, "Junior Brother Fan, your organ is very important, I think it's better to stop demolishing it." ”

"Bao Qincha, Brother Zhan, it's just a pot-making workshop, it's a bit exaggerated." Fan Yu turned his eyes to look at the two of them and said, "If you make a pot, you will make a pot, and you won't use it to make armor, so why worry." ”

"No, if the people of Xia and Liao know that they can make armor, then my Great Song Dynasty will be in danger!" Bao Zheng said in a deep voice: "You are still young, and you don't know the importance of this statement. ”

Fan Yu disagreed with Bao Zheng's words, if there is a little technological progress, he must hide it. Then this new technology, as long as it takes a long time, is very likely to be lost.

Moreover, technology is such a thing, which should be used. The more technology is used, and the wider the scope of use, the greater the potential for progress.

"Bao Qincha, this pot workshop is just a way to live for two hungry families, don't be serious." Fan Yu shook his head slightly and said, "This thing is not complicated, and it is not so easy to use it to make armor." Moreover, it is only when you use it a lot that you know the pros and cons. How can it be that Xia Liao and the two countries can learn it with a few glances. If it is shelved and forbidden to be used by the people on the grounds of secrecy, there will be no more progress. ”
