Chapter 57: Reasons for Refusal
Although moving in modern society is troublesome, it is not difficult to make a decision if necessary, especially for someone like Qian Yuan, who is not too old.
When Qian Yuan first arrived in Shanghai, he couldn't buy a house because of purchase restrictions, so he could only rent a house, and he changed it three times in a year, but for him, just tidy up and pack it and hand it over to the moving company, at most it will take some effort to go back and arrange.
So it is difficult for Qian Yuan to imagine the attitude of the ancients towards relocation, they had too many things to consider, not just living habits and the cost of buying a house.
In Qian Yuan's impression, his mother Tan is a woman with a weak personality and no opinions, and she implements that set of guidelines very standardly, obeying her father at home, her husband when she marries, and her husband obeys her son when she dies.
But in this matter, the Tan family rarely showed a tough attitude, and shook his head no matter what reason Qian Yuan came out.
You can't put a knife on your family's neck and force them to move...... The distressed Qian Yuan tried to save the country, and he couldn't listen to his own words, but his uncle Lu's words could always be listened to, not to mention that his uncle was also on the list of relocation plans.
After finding a few good pieces of silk and satin, and carrying some Longjing brought back from Hangzhou, Qian Yuan took Li Si out.
Although the family has been separated, the relationship between the two families is close and frequent, and the Lu family regards Qian Yuan as his own son because he has no children, so after Qian Yuan enters the door, the servants and maids say hello endlessly.
It is not uncommon for good people to do good deeds, but bad people can win praise for doing good deeds, and even get a praise of "the prodigal son does not change his money".
So before Qian Yuan was bitter and mean, had a strange temperament and was sure to repay him, but now he has changed, with a smile on his face that never seems to fade, which has won him the reputation of "gentle as jade".
Hearing the word "warm as jade" coming out of the mouth of Lu's personal maid, the thick-skinned Qian Yuan could still hold on, and the corners of Li Si's mouth twitched behind him...... He felt that the young master's temperament had not changed essentially.
This can be proved by the father and son of the Jin family under Jiuquan, Zhang Siwei, and Gui Youguang, who was scared to his feet.
"Brother Yuan is here." Lu Shi beckoned, looked at the silk and smiled: "Where can I wear such a bright color." ”
"Royal blue, it's a good fit." Qian Yuan handed the silk and tea bags to the maid on the side, "This year's Longjing in front of the Ming Dynasty took a little effort to get it." ”
"Why bother bringing it if you keep it for yourself to drink or entertain guests."
"Hey, my nephew is still used to drinking pineapple tea."
"Okay, okay, I'll bring some back later." Lu Shiyuan's face was full of smiles, and he couldn't wait to say: "I thought you were just trapped in Jiading, but I heard that the Kunshan Great Confucian Zhenchuan Gong praised you a lot in the article these days, but I didn't hear Zhi'er mention the details until yesterday......"
Qian Zhi is the only daughter of the Lu family, and she married Sun Chengen's nephew the year before last, so she knows more about the inside story, and she went back to her parents' house yesterday to chat with her mother Lu with great interest.
Lu Shi praised: "No wonder, those guards you brought, armed with guns and knives, are all fierce and vicious, as if they came down from Liangshan." ”
What kind of metaphor is this, Qian Yuan was also speechless, "Now that the southeast coast is full of widows, it is a good thing to have more homes at home." ”
"But I heard that you went out of the city in person, Brother Yuan, the gentleman will not stand under the dangerous wall." Lu put away his smiling face, "You are only a man in this generation, if something happens, what do you let the elders do?" ”
"It's my nephew who is reckless." Qian Yuan sighed, "But I was also forced to be helpless." ”
"It's reckless." Lu picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, "But it can be praised by Zhenchuan Gong, it can be regarded as some gains, it is said that there are a lot of visitors to the house these days?" ”
Qian Yuan patiently chatted with his uncle and aunt for a while before getting down to business, but he didn't expect Lu's attitude towards this to be unexpected.
"Why move to Hangzhou?" Lu said lightly: "Is it for the Japanese to invade Chuansha?" ”
Seeing his nephew nodding, Lu said with a smile: "At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there were Japanese Invaders, and Jin Shanwei was set up for this purpose back then. ”
Qian Yuan suppressed the irritability in his heart and explained in detail: "But this time is different from the previous rebellion......
"It's all made up of maritime merchants in Ningbo and Shaoxing, I know." Lu shook the fan in his hand, "What does this have to do with Songjiang?" ”
Qian Yuan's face was a little ugly, although he didn't speak, but the meaning of opposition was overflowing.
Unlike the Tan family, the Lu family knew more about the nephew who had changed a lot now, got up and personally put the fruit plate on the case beside Qian Yuan, and asked softly: "Even if there is a big disturbance, Huating will definitely be fine." ”
Qian Yuan squinted and asked, "Why?" ”
"If Xu Huating can't even keep the land of Xiangzi, where can he still have the face to stand on the court?"
Qian Yuan is also drunk, Xu Jie's is a king eight, and he is only a king with no lower limit, what can't he do?
After hesitating for a moment, Qian Yuan whispered a recount of the conversation between himself and Wang Chen, the governor of Zhejiang, and said: "The facts of the next few months also proved this, if it weren't for Yu Dayou and Lu Bo all going north, Songjiang Mansion would have been on fire everywhere. ”
Pinched a grape in his hand, played with it for a while but didn't put it in his mouth, Qian Yuan paced back and forth in the hall, "Yu Dayou is the deputy general of Zhejiang, Lu Bo is a general in western Zhejiang, it is impossible to be stationed in Songjiang Mansion or Jiaxing Mansion for a long time, once they leave, Songjiang Mansion ......"
Looking back at the Lu clan deeply, Qian Yuan said in an accentuated tone: "You must know that Governor Yingtian does not concurrently serve as the commander of military affairs, so he has no military power, will he only rely on Jin Shanwei at that time?" ”
The so-called Yingtian Governor theoretically governs the twelve prefectures of Nanzhili, but in fact, the main scope of authority and responsibility is Suzhou and Songjiang, so there is also a title of "Susong Governor".
Lu frowned tightly and thought about it, and after a while, she came up with a reason that Qian Yuan couldn't refuse.
"I went to Hangzhou to avenge my father and brother, and then went out of the city to fight thieves in Jiading and won the praise of Confucianism." Lu sat firmly on the chair and said slowly: "Brother Yuan, if others ask why you want to move to Hangzhou, how do you answer?" ”
Before Qian Yuan could speak, the Lu family quickly continued: "For more than 100 years, the Qian family has taken root in Songjiang Huating, not to mention the ancestral house and ancestral grave, the new funeral of your father and brother is still in the filial piety period, but you have to move to other places regardless of it, Brother Yuan, do you know what this means?" ”
Qian Yuan sat back expressionlessly, this is also the most important reason for his mother Tan's refusal, his father's and brother's graves are still outside the city, and they have to go to worship regularly, how could Tan have the patience to leave Huating.
But unlike the emotional Tan, the rational Lu did not come up with this reason.
"In this case, move to Hangzhou because of the wokos to avoid trouble?" Lu smiled mockingly, "Zhenchuan Gong praised you for your wisdom and bravery, and your integrity, at that time, where did you get your integrity?" ”
In the face of this completely different remark of three views, Qian Yuan was speechless.
In the eyes of ordinary modern people, in addition to life and death, life is the most important thing.
But in the eyes of ancient people, especially scholars, integrity was more important than life and death.
The main reason for Qian Yuan's fame now is that he helped the officers and soldiers defend the city in Jiading City.
Organizing his troops, making plans, making the right decisions in a pinch, and refusing to flee and go out of the city to fight thieves in armor earned him the so-called "integrity".
What seemed insignificant to Qian Yuan was regarded by the Lu family as the foundation of his existence.
There is a father of a two-list jinshi and a husband of a two-list jinshi, there is no doubt that Lu's thinking mode is infinitely closer to the direction of scholars.
