Chapter 401: Doubt
It was getting dark, and the lanterns were hung in the garden, and everyone who had just come to inquire about the news did not leave, but stayed for dinner.
It was already late October, and the future generations were already going to wear down jackets, Xu Wei asked people to bring copper hot pots, and they were feasting in the main hall while talking about tomorrow's court push.
On the other side of Suiyuan, in the Qian Family Restaurant, there are also many people talking about the same thing at the banquet.
In the private room in the small courtyard, an official in his thirties was looking sad, and the food in front of him did not move at all, only knowing that he was drinking sip after sip of wine.
"But don't worry, Brother Xiu, Xianju is close to Jinhua, even if the Japanese invaders wantonly raid Taizhou, the boss will definitely be safe and sound."
It was Zou Yinglong who spoke, and after being kicked twice by Qian Yuan, he quickly became a recognized Xu party...... In fact, Xu Jie's attitude towards him was very ordinary, so that he didn't get any good position when he was elected as an official, and entered the pedestrian division.
But unexpectedly, Xu Fan and Zou Yinglong have a very good relationship...... Uh, that's understandable, beaten by the same guy.
At first, Xu Fan still had fantasies, but within a few days, he understood that even if he was his father-in-law, it was useless, and Qian Yuan didn't take himself in his eyes at all.
So, when Zou Yinglong flattered him, Xu Fan was logical...... Later, there were Huating Jinshi Dong Chuance, and Taizhou Xianju County Jinshi Wu Shilai, several people often come to the Qianjia Restaurant to drink...... Anyway, Xu Fan can owe money.
The "only brother repair" in Zou Yinglong's mouth refers to Wu Shilai, who is a jinshi in the 32nd year of Jiajing, elected as a magistrate in Songjiang Prefecture, and transferred back to Beijing this year to serve as the criminal department.
"Taizhou Governor Tan Zili is both civil and military, and Ning Shaotai's general Qi Jiguang can be called a famous general, and Taizhou Mansion should be worry-free." Dong Chuance said slowly: "The Japanese rebellion in Taizhou was mainly concentrated in Songjiang, Suzhou, Jiaxing, Shaoxing, and Ningbo, and Taizhou did not see a few war reports. ”
"Qi Jiguang? Star? Xu Fan, who was a little drunk, snorted, "Isn't that guy making a name for him in Beijing!" ”
Dong Chuance's face did not change, and he raised his glass and said: "In all fairness, Qian Zhancai's vision is indeed good, just look at Suiyuan Shizi." ”
Dong Chuance is a native of Huating, and he has visited Suiyuan several times, and he has a good relationship with Yang Quan and Lu Yipeng, who are Huating Jinshi among the scholars in Suiyuan.
Zou Yinglong saw that Xu Fan's face was unswerving, and quickly changed the topic, "Tomorrow, I don't know which boss will go south......"
While speaking, Zou Yinglong looked at Xu Fan's expression, he had already seen that the eldest son of the second assistant of the cabinet was a person who couldn't hide his words.
Xu Fan was about to speak, but Wu Shilai, who had been drinking sullenly, rushed in front and said: "On the seventh day of October, Lu Bo's army defeated Pinghu, and on the tenth day of October, His Majesty ordered Ruan He, the governor of Zhejiang, to enter Beijing, but after more than ten days...... It is really incomprehensible that he did not promote the post of governor of Zhejiang. ”
Xu Fan listened in a daze, Dong Chuance explained in a low voice, under normal circumstances, it is understandable that the governor of Zhejiang, a feudal official, has left his post, and the DPRK and China have not determined the successor for a while, but now it is wartime, and Ruan He was convicted and imprisoned, so he should immediately promote the next governor of Zhejiang.
Dong Chuance glanced at Xu Fan and said tentatively: "The most puzzling thing is why Your Majesty has an order and will push it tomorrow." ”
Xu Fan thought for a moment before saying, "It should be related to the battle report sent today?" ”
Not to mention Wu Shilai and Dong Chuance, even Zou Yinglong complained in his heart, this sentence is nonsense, the key is why the war report sent today is related to the governor of Tingtui Zhejiang.
I couldn't find any news from Xu Fan, and the thoughts of gathering and drinking were also light, and they dispersed after a while, and Xu Fan returned to Xu's mansion with a red face.
As soon as he entered the main courtyard, he heard the sound of crying and crying inside, Xu Fan frowned, rubbed his eyebrows and coughed loudly twice, seeing that a maid went in to report, and then slowly paced in.
Sure enough, although my sister collected her tears, her eyes were red and swollen, and Zhang's face was angry, and when she saw Xu Fan coming in, she immediately mocked: "Your son-in-law has made great achievements again, and what else is he doing, it is quite a good match to be a general." ”
In such a gentry's house, it is already humiliating to say such things...... Now it is not as good as the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, nor is it better than the end of the Ming Dynasty, and now the civil officials regard the military generals as slaves and do not pay attention to them at all.
Xu Fan pursed his lips and reluctantly bowed, for more than half a year, he was tired of listening to it every morning and dusk every day, and he was tired of listening to it.
"My little sister is also older, and she hasn't decided to marry yet." Xu Fan obviously drank a little too much today, and said with a big tongue: "I look at that Zou ......"
Before he finished speaking, Xu Fan burped, and Miss Xu Si turned around and walked back...... Zou Yinglong has been tempted several times.
But don't say that Miss Xu Si refuses, even Zhang's refusal...... I'm not afraid of not knowing the goods, I'm afraid of comparing goods, although he is a jinshi in the same year, but Qian Yuan is a Jishi, and you Zou Yinglong only enter the pedestrian division.
Qian Yuan is famous all over the world, Jane is in the heart of the emperor, and the name of Suiyuan has been heard all over the world with the word of mouth of the new science and technology scholars and the fallen scholars, and Zou Yinglong is unknown and born in remote Lanzhou.
Qian Yuan has the art of Tao Zhu, Qian Yuan is handsome, and Qian Yuan is twenty years old...... The more I thought about Zhang, the more unhappy I became.
What makes Zhang angry the most is that Zou Yinglong is married and has children, and his wife died the year before last...... I'm a continuation, and my daughter has to do it too?
Not so bullying!
The final result was that Xu Fan was scolded so bloody that he came out disgraced, and before he could go back, Xu Jie sent someone to call him to the study.
"I've been honest at home for the past two days, don't go out......" Xu Jie looked down at the letter, and when he looked up, he saw Xu Fan, who was still drunk on his face, and shouted: "Going to drink again?!" ”
Xu Fan was excited, and most of the alcohol immediately faded, since last year's trouble, the family law has officially changed from a ring ruler to a rattan.
"It's with Zou Yinglong, Wu Shilai, and Dong Chuance at the Qian Family Restaurant." Xu Fan immediately replied: "The latter two are from the southeast, and they intend to listen to tomorrow's court push." ”
Xu Jie sighed, looking at the jumping lanterns in a daze, after Li Mo got out, Yan Song covered the sky with one hand, the most important thing is that he didn't expect that Wu Peng, who took over as the secretary of the ministry, was actually Yan Dang!
You must know that Wu Peng is a native of Xiushui County, not far from Huating, and if you are stubborn, you can be regarded as half of Xu Jie's township party, not to mention that Wu Peng is a Jinshi in the second year of Jiajing, and he is the same year that Xu Jie's eight classics are in the same year.
Moreover, Wu Peng and Cao Bangfu, who was strongly recommended by Li Mo, had a very good relationship, and the two had worked together to exterminate Shi Shang Zhaojun, and they had the friendship of comrades.
The most important thing is that the Wu family and Xu Jie's nonsense can be related to in-laws.
Xu Jie's second son and Lu Bing's third daughter were married, and Lu Bing's third son took Wu Peng's daughter.
Xu Jie didn't expect that after Li Mo got out, the pressure on his shoulders increased instead of decreasing, and the university scholar Lu Ben temporarily completed the Beijing inspection in just ten days, and the Yan Party forces were unscathed, and Wu Peng happily threw himself into the arms of the Yan Party......
Xu Jie's eyes revealed a hint of ruthlessness, it seems that one Yang Jisheng is not enough...... The few people mentioned by Fan'er just now can be used, Zou Yinglong is too slippery, Wu Shilai and Dong Chuance ......
At this time, Xu Fan cautiously asked: "Ruan Yingxuan was dismissed, and there has been no court push for more than ten days, why will the court push tomorrow?" ”
Xu Jie turned his head and glanced at his stupid son casually, Xu Fan's drunkenness completely faded, and he retreated lightly.
The same problem arose in Yan Shifan's courtyard.
Facing Dong Fen, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, who was full of doubts, Yan Shifan crossed his feet and said: "In the past, the Japanese invaders wantonly raided all parts of Susong and Jiaxing, cutting off the north-south canal, so that the war report was cut off, and Ruan Que is still on the way. ”
"Now the pirates are gradually receding, and the canal is unobstructed, so?" Dong Fen didn't understand.
"For the affairs of the southeast, what Your Majesty doesn't believe the most is the war report of the Ministry of War, and the most detailed thing to read is the memorabilia submitted by Lu Bing, but the most trusted is Qian Zhancai's letter." Yan Shifan yawned, of course he knew that Qian Yuan's letter could go straight to Xiyuan, "Look at it, there will be a lot of trouble tomorrow!" ”
Obviously, Qian Yuan has been too good at mixing over the years, and his entry into Beijing last year left too deep an impression on too many people.
Although he only let the guards enter Beijing in advance to inform him, in the eyes of some forces, his whereabouts are not a secret.
