Chapter 43 Yan Shigu Sanfang Xiaofangzhuang
There are many interesting things in Chang'an City, especially the Yan family.
The Yan family has a son, the nephew of Yan Shigu's son, whose name is Yan Wuwu. As the grandson of Yan Shigu's second uncle, he is a good gambler, does not like Wendao, and does not do facial features.
Yan Shigu was angry with him, and then let it go.
But in the past few days, Chang'an City has gone crazy and gone to the Qinglou without worry, but he has not lived up to the silver taels.
This simply lost the face of the Yan family, if it was in the past, Yan Shigu would definitely reprimand Yan Wuwu fiercely, but at this stage, the Yan family had a bad relationship with the Qin and Chai families, and was also punished by His Majesty.
"It must be them, the dignified Tang Guogong, how can they act like this?"
Yan Shigu was really angry, so he ordered someone to prepare the car and go to the Yiguo Mansion to ask what he meant.
"Lord Yan, my lord said, I won't see you today!"
"Humph!"
Flicking his sleeves and leaving, Yan Shigu rushed to Huo Guogong's Horse Mansion again, but unexpectedly, the faces of the people in the Horse Mansion were even more ugly, and they didn't plan to pay attention to him at all.
What a gas! Yan Shigu had no choice but to call Yan Wuwu home and reprimanded him fiercely.
Yan Wuwu bowed his head and swallowed silently.
"Don't worry, do you know where the scandal that came out of Chang'an today came from?"
Yan Wuwu smiled bitterly, "Uncle, don't talk about your nephew, in fact, uncle, you know very well that your nephew is just a disaster, how wronged." ”
"Worry-free, do you hate?"
"Hate? Don't hate! The Yan family needs a prodigal, otherwise the Yan family is in danger. ”
Yan Shigu stood up in shock: "Don't worry, what do you mean?" ”
Yan Wuwu smiled bitterly: "A family without a handle, can Your Majesty rest assured?" It's the uncle, and the nephew is even more pitiful to the guy who endured this kind of rumor, I wonder if the uncle can introduce him for worry-free? ”
Yan Shigu was silent for a moment, and then slapped his palm on his face, "The old man is confused, worry-free, what do you think of this matter?" ”
Yan Wuwu asked rhetorically, "Uncle, what do you want this matter to end?" ”
"Oh? Worry-free, what do you mean? ”
"There are two ways, the first is for my uncle to go again!"
"Nonsense, how can the old man bow his head to that child?"
"The second way is even simpler, kill that kid!"
Yan Shigu frowned, "Worry-free, isn't this a mortal enemy?" ”
Yan Wuwu saluted respectfully, and then said with a wry smile: "Uncle, is there a third way?" ”
It's just that it sounds good on the face, it is called easing relations, judging from His Majesty's attitude today, there is a lot of bias towards Qin Qiong and Chai Shao.
One is to put down the body, and the other is that the Yan family must not commit.
"Uncle, don't forget, Yan's family motto! What did our ancestors say when they were alive? ”
Yan Shigu's body trembled suddenly, and the ancestor Yan Zhitui set up the "Yan Family Motto" to teach future generations, from all aspects of body, action, mind, wisdom, and morality, let them understand what is Confucianism, what is a person, and what is home!
Yan Shigu smiled bitterly, "The old man's reputation in this life is only afraid that it will be ruined." ”
Yan Wuwu had already left, and Yan Shigu, who was sitting alone in the hall, thought a lot, and only sat down to decide after hesitation.
"Looks like we have to go again!"
Three times a day, the old man is ashamed, he is worried with a child, and he has lost the identity of a great Confucian!
Courtesy, righteousness and shame, passed down from generation to generation; Fulfill their duties, and the country is like a solid stone; Respect the old and love the young, and make a name for yourself in the prosperous world......
The more he thought about it, the more Yan Shigu felt ashamed of that little child, and he couldn't hold back his anxiety in the mansion, and went to Xiaofangzhuang for the third time.
On the way, he had been thinking about how to reconcile with that Fang Chen.
As for the apprentices? Forget it, after all, this kid is clearly unwilling to apprentice, if he insists on doing so again, I'm afraid that it will be more troublesome in the future.
Fang Chen sat at home, and the old man came outside.
Hearing the report, he was very surprised, why did Yan Shigu come again?
When he went out to greet him, Fang Chen's face was very strange, what's the matter, he came here to scold himself for being angry? Forget it, I really seemed to be a bit too much last time, this kind of joke is made on Datang officials, even if Qin Qiong and Chai Shao protect him, it is a big problem.
"The kid doesn't know that the boss is coming, and he misses the distance, and he hopes that the boss will forgive his sins."
"Excuse me, the old man has to apologize to you."
Fang Chen was very surprised, "Boss, what does this mean?" ”
Yan Shigu said with a smile: "The two rumors a few days ago are related to the old man, and it is also the old man's moral loss that led to the later events, you kid don't pretend to be confused!" ”
Fang Chen's heart was extremely shocked, in fact, his main consideration was to avoid the connection with the Tang Dynasty and the court, so he didn't consider the consequences of doing these things, but he didn't want this Master Yan Gu to be so open-minded.
"The boss can't help it, if the boss appreciates his face, he can enter the house to taste a cup of tea."
Yan Shigu stroked his beard and smiled, "Very good." ”
Twice! didn't even enter the door twice, Yan Shigu was still questioning that this kid really wouldn't be able to treat people?
Now it seems that I am afraid that I am still short-sighted.
An old man and a young man walked into the house, and the people began to get busy in a hurry.
Young Master Yu said, let the kitchen spend some effort today and cook a delicious meal, which can be regarded as compensation for Lord Yan.
entered the main hall and knelt down at the table, and Xuan Yi was arranged by Aunt Liu to be the person who poured tea and served.
Fang Chen was not used to drinking cinnamon to make tea, so he had to collect a little tea and let his men fry it, and it took two days to succeed, and he stayed and waited for others to use it later.
"Please, sir!"
Following Aunt Liu, Fang Chen also learned some Tang etiquette, so there would be no ugliness.
Yan Shigu was a little uncomfortable, is this tea? What about cinnamon? What about anise?
twitching the corners of his eyes, he picked up the pale yellow water, hasn't this kid been relieved yet?
Forget it, the sins you have created yourself will naturally have to bear them yourself, and pour them into your mouth.
"Huh?" It was not as unpleasant as he imagined, but there was a faint sweetness, with little bitterness and abundant aroma, which made him can't help but look at it twice.
"This tea?"
Fang Chen said with a smile: "The kid has lived a hard life since he was a child, and he can't get used to drinking good tea, so he can only get a little to satisfy himself, if the boss doesn't like it, the kid can arrange for someone to re-brew tea for you." ”
Yan Shigu waved his hand, "No need, this tea is very good!" ”
I drank another cup, and then someone brought in some refreshments, most of which were made of glutinous rice flour, with sugar filling in them, and when I bit into it, it was soft and glutinous, and it was not sticky to my teeth.
Yan Shigu said in his heart, he really came to the right place, just with this tea and this snack, he can be regarded as a loss.
After a few simple small talks, the relationship between the two has changed from stiff to close.
Confucianism pays attention to benevolence, forgiveness, sincerity, and filial piety, and after the last trace of mustard with Fang Chen disappeared in his heart, Yan Shigu and Fang Chen chatted more and more speculatively.
To say why? It can only be said that Fang Chen wants to compensate this old man from the bottom of his heart, after all, Aunt Liu has already told him the news that His Majesty was beaten with ten sticks in the court.
It is better to settle the dispute than to settle it, so Fang Chen tried to talk along with the other party's words.
Yan Shigu was very happy, first stopped Fang Chen's behavior of continuing to serve tea, and after drinking it, he felt panicked, and then asked, "Fang Chen, old man, is it okay to call you Chen'er?" ”
"Of course, it's an honor."
"Chen'er, why did you treat the old man like that before?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed on Fang Chen's face, and then he smiled bitterly: "It's a floating animal, how dare you enter the deep sea!" ”
Yan Shigu sighed, how could he not understand this, as soon as he entered the court, it was as deep as the sea.
"Chen'er, I'm afraid of this whirlpool, you are the most difficult to escape!"
With Qin Qiong and Chai Shao, plus the saints, Yan Shigu felt that Fang Chen would definitely enter the court.
