Fan Chunyou was taken aback when he saw the greeting post sent by the Lu Mansion, the current Fan family dislikes dogs, and everyone wants to hide far away, and Lu Zifei's style of knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and preferring to the tiger mountain makes him not know what to say.

Fan Zhongyan resigned but had a lot more smiles on his face, as for whether he was really happy or pretending, outsiders don't know, he explained to his eldest son's incomprehensible question: "This is where the gap between you and him lies"

"I also ask the father to solve the child's doubts"

Fan Zhongyan couldn't help but think of the correspondence between the two people, and at first he didn't pay attention to Lu Zifei's words, and gradually he found that the momentum of the matter was out of his control, and the direction of development was just what the kid said.

"When his father was still in the court, he never came to visit in order to avoid suspicion, and now he has resigned from his position for his father, and he came to the door as a junior, so there is no melon field and Li Xia and political involvement, of course, he also has his own plans."

Fan Zhongyan's attention to Lu Zifei As the son who has been with his father for the longest time, Fan Chunyou knows very well in his heart that he is not jealous of himself, because he knows that what Lu Zifei has done will be difficult for him to do in his life.

"You want to say he doesn't want to confuse his ideas with yours?"

Fan Zhongyan said: "It's different, how can it be mixed up, although the ultimate goal is the same, but the process is very different." ”

Fan Chunyou was a little puzzled, but as a smart person, he didn't ask much, but he still asked casually about Lu Zifei's reception specifications, "Then Hanzhang is here tomorrow, do we want to make a big splash." ”

He understands what his son means, the Fan family is in trouble now, Lu Zifei's identity is very special, and coming to the door at this time can indeed bring different changes to the Fan family, so that those with ill intentions know that the Fan family has not yet reached the point of being bullied by everyone.

What kind of person is Fan Zhongyan, he would rather bend than bend for five buckets of rice, he smiled at his son's careful thoughts, and said softly: "No need, as long as your father is alive for a day, no one will dare to bully him, everything is as usual!" ”

If you want to say that Li Lin knows a lot about the relationship between Lu Zifei and Fan Zhongyan in this world, he is probably the only one who has personally participated in the process of getting to know Lu Zifei and Fan Zhongyan.

"I think it's better for you not to go, but now the situation is unclear, can't you go in a few days? I won't stop you then, the palace test is coming soon, what do you think about those people in the higher positions if you do this. ”

Lu Zifei said: "You think too much, the relationship between me and Fan Xiang is not a secret at all in the eyes of people with a heart, they want to talk about this and it will be petty, I will not fight an unprepared battle, I have rehearsed it in my heart." ”

Li Lin saw that Lu Zifei had no intention of changing his mind, so he changed the topic and said: "You are going to enter the imperial court as an official this year, and the position below my ass should also be changed, and the position of the young superintendent of weapons will not help you much." ”

Where do you change your position? Li Lin is a relative, and he is not from a serious imperial examination background, some important positions of dignitaries are simply impossible, and the position of young superintendent of ordnance is largely obtained through the back door.

"We have injected a lot of effort into the Ordnance Supervisor, there are a lot of new weapons and equipment in it, I really don't worry about changing people, you know how much damage those big killing weapons will cause to the Great Song Dynasty."

Li Lin also knows the urine nature of those people in the DPRK and China, and the Ordnance Supervision has developed from an irrelevant department to today's scale, and it is false to say that you don't feel distressed if you give up, just like a pot of flowers that you have worked hard to raise from seeds to the extent that everyone loves them, and then let people even take away the flower pots, how do you feel.

The two of them didn't discuss a reason, and after drinking a stuffy meal, Li Lin went home to continue his great cause of making people, he felt that it was more fulfilling to cook raw rice and mature rice, and he also had the confidence to negotiate with the Gao family.

The next day, at this time, Lu Zifei personally visited Fan Zhongyan for the first time, so everything had to be formal, and the carriage he didn't like to sit in let him turn out of the horns, but the clothes were still the blue Confucian shirt, and he would have a grudge with the Fan family when he wore a waiting suit.

The Fan family is not as arrogant as Fan Zhongyan said, the icing on the cake is easy, it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, and they are also treated with high standards when Lu Zifei arrives, Fan Chunyou, Fan Chunren and the youngest Fan Chunli are all standing there in a proper and obedient manner.

Lu Zifei, who got out of the carriage, saw this scene and walked quickly to Fan Chunyou and said, "Isn't this a torment for the younger brother?" ”

Fan Chunyou said: "The ceremony cannot be abolished, let me introduce it to you, this is my second brother Fan Chunren, and the youngest is my third brother Fan Chunli, you two have not seen the ceremony." ”

"The little brother has seen Wangbeihou"

Lu Zifei jokingly said: "Although Fan Xiang didn't accept me as a disciple at the beginning, you two don't have to be so angry, just call me Brother Shi." Then he took out two fine jade pendants from his arms and handed them to them and said, "I will give you a small thing to play with when we meet for the first time." ”

The love of jade of the Han people should start from the Han Dynasty, and the jade of the Song Dynasty, which paid attention to the literati, has become a must-have thing for the literati, but it is not an exaggeration to say that a good jade is sky-high in Bianjing.

"Hanzhang, your gift is a bit expensive, you won't be sincere!" After Fan Chunyou finished speaking, he glared at the two younger brothers, meaning that the two of you will accept such a valuable gift from someone for the first time you meet, okay?

Lu Zifei said with a smile: "Brother Shi knows that I went to sea once two years ago, and there are a lot of these things at home, and they are not valuable things. ”

Fan Zhongyan, who was sitting in the living room, heard this and scolded with a smile: "You cautious stinky boy, the worthless things in your eyes have been praised to the sky in the capital, and it is said that there is no good jade in the Great Song Dynasty, and the good jade is in Lu Hou's house, I, Fan Xiwen, have watched countless people in my life, and only you have planted a big heel." ”

"Three years have passed in a flash, and Fan Xiang's demeanor is still like a spring breeze, which makes the kid fascinated." said that I made a courtesy for juniors to meet elders, and making this action shows that I am here as a junior today.

Fan Zhongyan sighed: "Yes! When I first saw you, the picture was still like yesterday, a young man in the army who wore a sinful body said to a powerful envoy that he wanted to apprentice, everyone felt that it was a joke, and in the blink of an eye, he fulfilled the promise of the day, who would have expected it! ”

"The kid wasn't so sad at that time, and when he returned to the tent, he secretly cried for a while?"

A joke made several people laugh, and the rhythm of the chat was brought back to the right road by him, Fan Chunren and Fan Chunli thanked Lu Zifei and then retreated, leaving Fan Chunyou alone in the living room to serve tea and pour water.

Fan Zhongyan said with a smile: "It's a great honor to make Lu Hou cry, it's not something anyone can do." ”

Lu Zifei said: "Your current appearance is not in line with the temperament of the kid's impression, and the gambling contract in the letter, whether Fan Xiang should also be." "Lu Zifei will live like a market vendor.

"I also want to go to Luoyang to be a teacher who has no quarrel with the world, to be honest, this is really my dream, as long as you can do the work of the emperor, I will fulfill the gambling contract immediately, how about it."

Fan Chunyou's face was confused, what kind of gambling contract, how could he never have heard of it, seeing that the old and the young were chatting excitedly, he didn't dare to disturb, honestly doing the duties of a waiter, diligent, fast-handed, not talking, not curious.

Lu Zifei said: "Then do you have any follow-ups?" And that's the end of it? ”

Fan Zhongyan instructed Fan Chunyou to close the door, and then said, "Didn't you find anything different about the change of law?" ”

Lu Zifei said: "This matter was raised by the emperor, and the emperor's attention was relatively high in the first month, and then it gradually evolved into not asking, which is the first thing that the kid can't figure out." ”

Fan Zhongyan nodded with satisfaction and said: "It is worthy of being a person valued by the old man, and his vision is still so sharp, I have only thought about this issue after thinking about it in the past few days, and finally came to the conclusion that the emperor did not think that our change would be successful from the beginning." ”

"Impossible, what is the emperor's reason for doing this, a change implemented with the power of the whole country, not to mention the loss of money and labor, what is the benefit of the emperor in the end, there is no reason!" Lu Zifei said in disbelief, because he had never thought of this.

Fan Zhongyan said: "This is my guess, and it may not be correct, but I have a great certainty, and the reason is not difficult to guess, the emperor needs to give the people of the world an attitude, of course, it is not unrelated to the birth of King Yong." ”

Lu Zifei thought of Zhao Zhen's attitude towards the change in a flash of inspiration, even if he failed, he didn't show much disappointment, he relied too much on the memories of history and the official historical records of his previous life.

"Then didn't you and a few important ministers become victims, is this ending really cost-effective?"

"Does politics have anything to do with whether it's cost-effective or not? It's really naïve, to achieve the goal is to win, it seems that your master has not told you about this matter. Fan Zhongyan scolded.

The two of them simply said this about the change, and the rest of them talked about it in the letter, and it was just a repetition, and Lu Zifei asked the court who could become the prime minister after this reshuffle.

Fan Zhongyan said: "Yan Xiang came to power for the smooth progress of the change, and now that the change has failed, then there will be no more seats under his ass for a few days, and it is inevitable that Jia Changchao will replace Yan Xiang, but Jia Changchao must not be able to sit for long with two faces and three swords, Zhang Dexiang, Song Qi, Wang Yaochen, Pang Ji, and Zeng Gongliang all have the opportunity to take a step forward, it depends on what the emperor thinks." ”

Lu Zifei said: "Did Fan Xiang forget someone?"

Fan Zhongyan smiled and said contemptuously: "Hanzhang is talking about Xia Zhu!" Zhenzong Dynasty Xia Zhu has already emerged, several times the prime minister has been regarded by him as a bag, and in the end he has passed by others cheaply, just because everyone does not recognize his character, and the means of doing things are too despicable, how could the emperor let him get his wish. ”
