Chapter 2: The Waves of Beginners
"Zongnan, the border defense of Fangcheng seems to be invulnerable, but in fact, it is broken as soon as it is attacked. The general is the brother-in-law of the country's uncle Yao De, and he handles it impartially for fear of offending this country's uncle, and if he lets him go, he will be sorry for the people of Qingtian. Xiangye Wang Jingtian had solemn eyebrows, and his tone was worried, he looked at Liu Zongnan who was sitting next to him and said in a deep voice.
Liu Zongnan put down the teacup, bowed down and said: "Xiangye, you can handle it impartially, you are worthy of the people of Qingtian, and you are worthy of your selfless dedication." Now that the situation between the DPRK and China is unclear, Uncle Guo is a party of the prince, if he can use this matter to knock the mountain and shake the tiger, he may be able to help His Royal Highness King Ning slightly attack the prince's party, and have a slight chance of winning. ”
Xiangye Wang Jingtian got up and paced, his sharp and deep eyes looked into the distance, standing with his hands behind his back, and his figure was stretched long, "Zongnan has worked hard to arrange people to investigate, if the evidence is conclusive, this prime minister will not spare the generals who defend the city, and he will also participate in the uncle of other countries." ”
"Father, the child Jiaer has come to see you." The prince Wang Jiaer and Liu Fuqing waited outside the door of the study for a long time, but they didn't see Xuan, so they had to ask to see each other. "Come in!" Xiangye Wang Jingtian sat on the Taishi's chair and glanced at Wang Jiaer with a majestic gaze.
"Garr, have you made progress in your studies lately? What is the teaching level of the old master? Wang Jingtian asked directly. Wang Jiaer stepped forward and bowed down and replied, "Back to my father's words, Jiaer has been studying diligently with the old master recently, and the old master is also very appreciative of his studies. ”
was not close to his father, but Wang Jiaer, the son of the family, couldn't find more greetings, so he had to say directly to Wang Jingtian, "Father, the child still has something to ask for." Fusu's younger sister is talented and intelligent, and hopes that her father can allow her to enter the church. "Xiangye Wang Jingtian's eyes are like torches, knowing that his son is Mo Ruo's father, this son must have been accepted by the elf girl in Fusu.
Liu Zongnan looked at Wang Jiaer and Wang Jingtian in surprise, although his daughter was indeed very smart, if she could enter the business school of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it would be their blessing. So, Liu Zongnan bowed down and thanked him, "The subordinates thank the prince for raising the little girl." ”
Xiangye Wang Jingtian didn't say anything, just looked at his son quietly. Wang Jiaer blushed slightly, and the slight sweat wet his sideburns, "Father, the housekeeper Uncle Liu is loyal and conscientious, and our Prime Minister should also be promoted accordingly." Please father, my lord, to do it. ”
Liu Zongnan just stood quietly, as if what they were talking about had anything to do with him? Xiangye Wang Jingtian looked at this once talented, personable, and world-renowned talent, and now he could only condescend to his mansion to be a wise and self-protecting staff, and the guilt in his heart arose.
"Zong Nan, I look at Fusu, this girl is more and more smart, and she is very smart. I want to ...... Xiangye" Xiangye Wang Jingtian said in a much calmer tone and said to Liu Zongnan. "Thank you, Xiangye, let your subordinates go back to Nanyuan to discuss with Humble Jing, and then come back." Liu Zongnan said calmly.
After a long time, Liu Zongnan came out of Xiangye's study, and hurriedly walked back to his Nanyuan. Nanyuan is the residence of Xiangye Wang Jingtian to Liu Zongnan's family, not into the slave status of Xiangye Wang Jingtian, it is Xiangye Wang Jingtian's respect for their family, which is also an elegant and warm courtyard.
The courtyard gate is open to the north, there is a stone bridge in front, and it is connected with the promenade, a bay of pond water is from west to east, when the pond water lotus is waiting to be released, the courtyard is laid out with the mountain, the entrance is the rockery between the earth and stone, the ancient trees and new branches on the mountain are vibrant, and the green bamboo is swaying in between. In front of the courtyard vacant land, in the year when Fusu was born, Liu Zongnan and Nalan Rongruo got married, and planted a few Xinyi flower trees with their own hands, and now they are blooming one by one, which is very beautiful and amazing.
When Liu Zongnan's handrail walked to the rockery, Liu Fusu happily jumped out and hugged him, and said coquettishly, "Daddy, you are back, my mother misses you, sitting under the Xinyi flower tree every day and stroking the qin, Daddy, did you bring me any interesting things back this time?" ”
Liu Zongnan touched this elf-like daughter lovingly, and said with a smile, "Did Fusu listen to your mother's words?" Are you so angry with your mother? Liu Fusu stuck out his tongue, smiled clumsily, and replied: "Daddy, you know, my daughter can't sit still." ”
Liu Zongnan pretended to smile helplessly and walked back to the living room with the little daughter in his arms. As soon as he sat down, Liu Fuqing came over to greet him, "Welcome Daddy back." Nalan Rongruo and Xiaoya Huan Rujin were stir-frying in the kitchen, and it didn't take long for a table to fill the table with good dishes.
"Husband, you're back! It's time to eat. Nalan Rongruo said softly to Liu Zongnan, she changed her husband's shoes, "You two wash your hands and eat, don't pester your father." ”
Liu Zongnan looked at the warm home, and felt a lot more relieved in his heart, the fame and fortune that people pursue in this life are not as good as the words of their wives and children at home. The former Huai Cai is not encountered, but it is just a floating cloud.
After dinner, Liu Zongnan took out a red sandalwood abacus from his baggage and handed it to his brother Liu Fuqing, and said solemnly, "Fuqing, there is a skill in the troubled times that you can't go hungry when you go to the world, you have to learn the way of business and government management in the school." ”
Liu Fuqing seemed to have a heavy burden on his body, he straightened his posture, bowed down to Liu Zongnan seriously, and said, "The child should remember his father's teachings!" Don't disgrace your father's hard work. Liu Zongnan nodded with satisfaction.
Liu Fusu's eyes widened when she looked at this strange gift, so she ran to her father's arms, pretending to be sad and said, "Dad, you are the best!" I want it too! ”
Brother Liu Fuqing just took his abacus to his sister, "Sister, I'll give it to you!" Liu Fusu just wanted to take it over and take a look, but her father took out a more delicate red sandalwood abacus from the package and gave it to Liu Fusu, and Liu Fusu suddenly became happy and giggled.
Nalan Rongruo smiled warmly, and looked at Liu Zongnan with disgust, "Husband, you are about to spoil the two of them!" In the future, they will have to be obedient. ”
Liu Zongnan laughed, "Madam, our children are our treasures, we can spoil them as much as we want!" When children grow up, they will fly far and wide. Nalan Rongruo smiled and nodded.
How could Liu Zongnan forget his delicate little lady, he carefully took out a step from his sleeve, and Nalan Rongruo naturally lowered his head slightly and let him gently insert it into his bun.
"My mother is so beautiful, my father is fascinated," Liu Fusu said to his brother Liu Fuqing with a smile. Nalan Rongruo smiled shyly like a girl, and said happily in her heart: "It's just that your little girl is very troublesome." "When a family reunites after a long absence, that's how happy it is.
Liu Zongnan took a sip of hot tea and solemnly asked the two brothers and sisters to stand in front of them. "From tomorrow onwards, you will have to learn abacus hard, Fusu, and my father will ask Xiangye to let you enter the hall. The two of you have remembered that the abacus in your hands is the ability to make your life in this troubled world. Liu Fuqing and Liu Fusu also replied seriously: "Follow Daddy's teachings!" ”。
"Husband, since ancient times, there has been no reason for women to learn to do business, and Fusu is still ......young," Nalan Rongruo had doubts in her heart, and asked her husband without thinking.
Liu Zongnan understood what his wife was worried about, so he said to her, "This is an example of ancient and modern times, madam, the world is now chaotic, and my daughter has to live in peace, and it is not a bad thing to have one more ability." We will grow old as parents after all, how can we shelter Fusu from the wind and rain at that time? When I returned home today, I had already heard about Fusu's incident in the school some time ago, and the prince also asked Xiangye tonight to allow Fusu to enter the hall. Tomorrow, when Xiangye returns home early, I will ask Fusu to enroll in the hall. ”
Liu Fuqing also said to her mother anxiously: "Fusu is already talented, so he should learn more skills." The old master was satisfied with Fusu's performance that day, but he repeatedly said that it was a pity that Fusu was a woman. Liu Fusu squeezed his eyes at his brother, and whispered to his brother, "It's good to treat me, my sister will repay me when she has the opportunity." ”
"Xiangye, my subordinates have something to ask for." Liu Zongnan took a cup of tea, handed it to him, and asked indifferently standing in front of Xiangye Wang Jingtian. Xiangye Wang Jingtian glanced at him deeply, took a sip of the tea, and took a sip of the tea, "Zongnan, why do you and I need to be so separated, the two of us are out of the same school, if it weren't for fate, I wouldn't have been able to achieve such a career." ”
Liu Zongnan stood up more respectfully, "Xiangye, this time is different from the past, since we have a master-servant relationship, we should have a master-servant relationship, you are Xiangye, and I am your staff and slave." ”
Xiangye Wang Jingtian sighed deeply, with a trace of regret and pain in his eyes. "Can't we really drink and write poems and walk the world with swords like we used to?"
Liu Zongnan lowered his eyes and hesitated, then shook his head with relief, "Since the day of the subordinate's marriage, it has been impossible to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion, let the past of Xiangye pass." People always have to look ahead, don't they? ”
Xiangye Wang Jingtian closed his eyes and shook his head gently, "That's it, that's it, Zongnan, what do you say, can this appearance help?" Liu Zongnan bowed down and said, "Xiangye, my subordinates want Fusu's child to be able to enter the hall like Fuqing, I don't know what Xiangye wants?" ”
Xiangye Wang Jingtian smiled heartily and said, "Zongnan, what kind of embarrassing thing does the prime minister think is it that you can speak out to help deal with it." Liu Zongnan also smiled easily, he knew that the matter had been done.
"Zongnan, Fusu, Fuqing, you two children look really like, Fuqing stayed by the side of Shizi Jiaer and also went to school, Fusu, this girl won my heart, I want to recognize her as a goddaughter, I don't know if you couple are willing? It's time for Fusu to go to school and be sensible. Xiangye touched his beard and said to Liu Zongnan sincerely.
It turned out that Xiangye already knew his thoughts, and since this was the case, it was also a good thing. Liu Zongnan only nodded at this time, his senior brother still cared about some friendship with his fellow disciples.
