Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Powerful Prefect

When Xiaoyue proposed to let Liu Fan write poems on the spot to describe this experience, Mu Wanqiong was really a little nervous, Liu Fan has been stubborn all these years, and he knows eating, drinking, prostitution, and gambling all day long, although Liu Baiyuan invited a lot of private school teachers to teach, but he couldn't listen to it at all, and he changed the law all day long.

At the beginning, there were still people who were willing to teach Liu Fan, but in the later period, after Liu Fan's stubborn and domineering deeds spread, no matter how much money the Liu family paid, no one was willing to teach above, which also made Liu Fan notoriously unlearned.

In the past, Liu Fan was the most taboo for others to let him read and write, and there were several rich young masters who exposed Liu Fan's shortcomings in public and asked him to fill in the lyrics and compose poems, but Liu Fan led a group of followers to knock out his full teeth. Mu Wanqiong thought that Liu Fan would turn his face, but she didn't expect that he didn't mean to blame Xiao Yue at all.

Not only Mu Wanqiong was surprised, but even Liu Baiyuan and Guo Xiuyun looked at Liu Fan with a stunned expression, no one knew Liu Fan better than their couple, this kid had never read seriously since he was a child, and he couldn't listen to other people's knowledge crowding him, and now he not only didn't care about Xiaoyue's behavior, but also wrote poems on the spot, which was too unexpected.

didn't care what other people thought, Liu Fan should say Xiaoyue's words, and then got up and thought about which poem is appropriate? There are many famous poems that have been passed down through the ages in later generations, and he wants to choose a poem that suits the situation and take it out, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly thought of a poem, and then asked his subordinates to bring the board, and let people bring paper and ink.

After a moment of concentration, Liu Fan picked up the pen and gently twisted the tip of the pen, and then he wrote from the paper with an indifferent expression. The chest is drunk again, and it is easy to come. In just a few breaths, Liu Fan finished writing, put the brush back on the pen holder, he looked at the poems on the desk, and then asked the next person to lift the paper.

Down-and-out rivers and lakes carrying wine,

Chu's waist is slender and his palm is light.

Ten years of Yangzhou dream,

Won the name of / green / building Bo lucky.

At the beginning of the period, when everyone saw Liu Fan composing poems, they thought he was just joking, and thought to themselves what kind of poems would he write at his level? Just when everyone was about to watch Liu Fan's fool with the mentality of watching the excitement, the poems he made were unveiled, and everyone rushed to read Liu Fan's poems, and after reading them, everyone was stunned.

This poem is a poem written by Du Mu when he was self-deprecating, and now it is also very appropriate to use it on Liu Fan, before Liu Fan was young and handsome, but he has been doing nonsense, and he indulged in wine at a young age and couldn't extricate himself, looking at those dancing singers, he was deeply immersed in it and was obsessed, and he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy laughter.

Liu Fan, who was originally in a state of confusion, experienced the taste of being kidnapped and kidnapped by this time, and experienced the taste of the down-and-out rivers and lakes, and today he suddenly woke up, recalling the various acts of the previous ten years, it was simply ridiculous, Liu Fan often went in and out of the prostitutes' residences in the past, and his life was rotten and decadent, and his behavior was unbearable to look back on.

Reflecting on his previous life today, he not only had some self-deprecation in his heart, but he spent ten years of wasted time doing nothing, except for the name of Bo Xinglangjun from which singers, he got nothing. Looking back and thinking about his previous words and deeds, it is like the wind blowing people to wake up, he is no longer the shallow boy who floats on the surface.

"Shhh...... This is a poem by the second son? ”

"This was actually written by our second son?"

"Oh my God, the second son can really write poetry."

"How do I read it and feel like I want to change my ways?"

"This handwriting is so beautiful, when did the second son learn it?"

"Convinced, I finally understand what it means to be a real person without showing up."

Listening to the praise of those subordinates, Liu Baiyuan and Guo Xiuyun were stunned and also looked very surprised, they couldn't have imagined that their little son who didn't learn and didn't know how to have such a talent, this can be described as being reborn, looking at the modest and kind Liu Fan in the crowd, the couple all cried with joy.

"This ...... Can he write this kind of poetry? Satsuki was stunned.

Not only Xiaoyue was stunned, but even Mu Wanqiong was amazed by Liu Fan's poem, she suddenly found that she couldn't understand her little uncle, the current Liu Fan and the previous violent, arrogant, domineering second son are like two people, ten years to sleep Yangzhou dream, won the / Qing / Lou Bo Xing name. Is this the real you?

Just when the whole Liu Mansion was praising Liu Fan's poems, suddenly, the family in charge of guarding the gatehouse hurriedly ran in, and as soon as they met, they shouted loudly: "Master, old lady, no, someone from the prefect's yamen has come, they heard that the second son is back, and said that they want to bring the second son back to marry the prefect's daughter." ”

"What? The people of the prefect's yamen? How did they get here? ”

Hearing that the people from the prefect's yamen came to Liu Fan again, all the people in the house couldn't sit still, last time it was because of marrying the daughter of the prefect's family, forcing Liu Fan to jump into the river and commit suicide, I thought that the matter had passed, but I didn't expect the prefect to come again, if Liu Fan was forced to seek death and life, it would be troublesome.

Now Liu Fan has become like this without hesitation, if he changes back to the previous virtue because of this matter, then Liu Fan will never have peace, thinking of this, people have turned their eyes to Liu Fan, and persuaded him to run quickly, even Liu Baiyuan and his wife anxiously urged Liu Fan, let him go out and hide quickly.

"What, you want to run when you see us coming?"

While speaking, a man wearing a four-grade court dress, a strong body, and an ordinary appearance slowly walked into the living room, this person was none other than Xiang Tutuo, the prefect of Yangzhou, and beside him was followed by a woman who was obese, weighing about 300 pounds, and her face was covered with freckles and pimples, she was Xiang Tutuo's daughter Sunflower.

Xiang Tutuo's father and daughter were followed by two rows of officials, more than ten errands on the left, and more than ten catchers on the right, under the escort of these people, Xiang Tutuo swaggered to Liu Baiyuan's side, as soon as they met, he smiled and said: "In-laws, this is your fault, the child is back, why don't you tell me." ”

"The prefect is serious, and this old man is ashamed. Although the dog had a marriage contract with Gui Qianjin before, but on the day of the wedding, the prefect had already rejected the marriage of the two families in front of the squire's father. Liu Baiyuan said angrily.

"Well...... cough cough ......" Xiang Tutuo heard Liu Baiyuan mention this matter, his face showed a little embarrassment, and he coughed a few words, he said a little embarrassed: "This official was angry at the time, so he ruined the marriage contract of the two families in public, and then thought about it carefully, and felt that the original decision was a little hasty, so he came here to visit."

Liu Yuanwai, you are one of the largest households in Yangzhou Prefecture, and this official respects you very much. In fact, you should understand that if it weren't for the official covering you behind your back over the years, your business would not have been so smooth, and it is said that Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and there are really many rich businessmen and giants who want to replace you in the territory of Yangzhou Mansion.

This official looks at the friendship with you Liu Yuanwai, so he ignores those ambitious wealthy merchant families, but well, our two families are not related to each other, why should this official protect your Liu family? But if Brother Liu and this official form a family of children and daughters, then the situation will be different, I think I have already said it clearly enough, so ......"

"So the prefect wants to break his promise once again and let me renew my relationship with your daughter, right?" Seeing that Xiang Tutuo's words implied a threat, Liu Baiyuan was forced speechless by Xiang Tutuo's threat, and Guo Xiuyun and Mu Wanqiong, as female dependents, couldn't intervene, at this time, Liu Fan stood up.

He walked up to Xiang Tutuo, and gave a salute to Tutuo without humility or arrogance, and at the same time smiled politely at Sunflower, and after the salute, he looked at Xiang Tutuo on the other side, and said unhurriedly: "Lord Prefect, you are an official, we are the people, there is a way for the people not to fight with the official, according to the little nephew's opinion, let's get together and disperse, and do not hurt the harmony."

You've already rejected our two family's marriage contract in public, and now that it's happened, why don't we go with the flow? The little nephew has a bad temperament, and if you break the contract, people will only laugh at the little nephew for not being blessed, and will not hurt the reputation of the daughter. But if we repent of the marriage, I am afraid that it will damage your reputation in the future. ”

"You kid is really different from before, the last time you saw me, you didn't even dare to breathe. When you see me today, you can look directly at the official, not to mention anything else, just your current courage and calm momentum make the official look at me differently. Xiang Tutuo looked Liu Fan up and down, and was surprised.

Glancing at Liu Fan, recalling what Liu Fan had just said, Xiang Tutuo showed a sneer: "Boy, although you have grown a little bit, but in the eyes of this official, you are still just a waste of wood that can't support the wall, if it weren't for the official's daughter, do you think you are qualified to stand in front of the official and speak?"

What else do you say that you will repent of your marriage? Hum... You are also worthy. This official doesn't have time to spend time with you here, now that everyone on your side is here, let's save unnecessary red tape, we don't want the dowry, and the wedding will not be held, and tomorrow at noon, set up a few tables of banquets, and inform the squire colleagues, they are considered husband and wife. ”

"Lord Prefect, old man...... If you don't agree to this marriage, my Liu family is also a face-saving person, how can you let you drink like this? If you want to choose a good son-in-law, please go somewhere else, my son is not suitable. Liu Baiyuan stood up angrily and objected.

"Not suitable?" Xiang Tutuo looked at Liu Baiyuan coldly, and said gloomily: "This Yangzhou Mansion is under the rule of this official, in this territory, this official said yes, since my daughter has taken a fancy to your son, he has to be suitable even if he is not suitable, Liu Baiyuan, don't be embarrassed, believe it or not, this official will destroy your Liu Mansion with a snap of his fingers." ”

"You...... You ......" Hearing Xiang Tutuo's threat, Liu Baiyuan and his wife, Mu Wanqiong and others were all speechless with anger, and their faces were full of grief and indignation.
