When Fan entered and left the palace, it was already past noon, and Wanli specially rewarded two snacks to satisfy Fan Jin's hunger. Until Fan Jin left, he still felt itchy in his heart, and countless topics were stuffed in his heart before he could ask, and the person left, making him look forward to tomorrow's meeting.

For a long time, Wanli, who lives in the deep palace, has no friends. The eunuchs in the palace are not qualified to be his friends, and with his cold nature, even the eunuchs who have served him since he was a child are just slaves in his eyes. There is a certain distinction between master and servant, and naturally it is impossible to become friends.

As for his compatriots and siblings, Wanli hated him from his heart for taking away his mother's favor for him, and hated his health even more, but he was sick and had no good face for him, so naturally he couldn't talk about being close. Although there is a person like Empress Dowager Chen, who is close to her mother, there are no friends after all.

Fan Jin's paintings and stories fascinated him, and when he talked, he felt that he was a rare and wonderful person. As soon as he mentions a woman, he can tell himself a bunch of beautiful scriptures. Starting from the ancient beauties, and then talking about the beauties in the market along the way, it made Wanli's heart itch and the blood boiled all over his body, if it wasn't for his mother's authority, he really wanted to pull a palace maid to try that kind of thing.

He knew very well that if he found someone to talk about a woman in the palace, he would definitely be reported to his mother in the end, and then he would be unlucky. The minister will also think that his behavior is ridiculous and not doing his job, only Fan Jinken will talk to him about women, and he will talk to himself about so many things...... Fan Qing is really my confidant. Wanli thought about it, and his good impression of Fan Jin in his heart increased a lot, but he felt that he was too wronged to be a second-class passenger, if he had been forced to become a tanhua, it was obvious that he was in the Hanlin Academy, and it was even more convenient to be on call.

In front of the Empress Dowager Li, he only said the first half of Fan Jin's words, and did not mention the natural passing of women. Empress Dowager Li also felt that Fan Jin was really a loyal minister and a smart person. can persuade the king by chatting with the emperor, Yu insight and strategy have made the queen mother very agreeable, coupled with Li Cailian's relationship, she does not intend to prevent the emperor from being friends with Fan Jin. Just reminded the emperor that Yu Fanjin's reward should not be too early, and in the end, he had to wait for Mr. Zhang to get an idea.

In the courtyard of the Zheng family, Zheng Chan had already renovated a large table of banquets in one day as a gift to welcome Fan Jin. For the ordinary people of this era, the emperor is a god. Being able to enter the palace to accompany the emperor to study is no different from becoming an immortal. Zheng Chengxian and Zheng Guotai father and son all felt that there was light on their faces, and there was a scholar who could face the saint in their own home, which was the creation of several lifetimes, enough to boast in front of the neighborhood for decades. even took Zheng Chan to make a maid for Fan Jin, so he no longer objected.

Originally, the family felt that they owed Fan Jinende and were very respectful to him, but now they simply want to worship as a god. Zheng Guotai said: "Sister Cicada's husband's family is a businessman, how can she be compared to a scholar? What's more, Master Fan is now a saint who has seen Tianyan, and following him is worth ten years of life. You don't have to think about the family affairs over there, you can't let the good heavenly people not follow, and go there to be a housewife. ”

Zheng Chengxian also said: "Yes, Chan'er herself is willing to go with Master Fan, then it is up to her will." It's just that I'm worried that she comes from a small family, is clumsy, and won't serve people, if she doesn't take care of it well, Master Fan will have to bear with her. ”

Since Fan Jin still has to be in Beijing for a few days, this meal is not a good meal, and the atmosphere is quite harmonious. Fan Jin was just about to go back to the room, when suddenly Zheng Wan jumped out of the kitchen and called her brother, Fan Jin smiled: "It's so late, the little girl hasn't gone to sleep yet, be careful that you can't get up tomorrow." ”

"I can't sleep, I want to talk to my brother, and I'm afraid that my brother won't have time to pay attention to me, Sister Caiyin is still waiting for you in the room."

"Stinky girl is a big ghost, what nonsense." Fan Jin smiled and tugged at her pigtails, and sat on the kitchen threshold with the little adult, Zheng Wan said, "Brother, are you going back this time?" ”

"Come back, I'm coming back, but when it's not good to say, you can rent this house to someone else, and I don't have to keep my things."

"Nope! This house is where my brother lived, and no one can live in it! Whoever dares to live, I will fight with whom! There are also the beds and quilts that my brother slept in, and no one else is allowed to use them! ”

"The little girl is so fierce, beware that she won't be able to marry in the future. Speaking of which, the next time I go back to Beijing, you may all get married. Don't be so stubborn, there's nothing useless and useless, everyone meets is fate, and reunion is also fate. The next time I go back to Beijing, I will probably already have my own house and don't need to rent a house. So you can rent anyone. Besides, it's not that I don't live here, so I don't have contact with everyone. Your eldest sister is still a girl by my side, and we are still a family. ”

Zheng Wan nodded, "That's right, you are Wan'er's eldest brother, so we are naturally a family." Brother, people say that girls go to other people's houses to be maids, and they all have to sleep with their masters. Does Sister Chan also want to sleep with her eldest brother? What should Sister Caiyin do? ”

Fan Jin smiled dumbly and said: "The stinky girl is open-mouthed, let your eldest sister hear and see that she doesn't take off her shoes to beat you." ”

"I'm not afraid, I just want to ask."

Fan Jin shook his head and said, "You shouldn't ask this kind of thing, it's not time." When you're older, you'll understand. Besides, it's useless for me to say it, things are always changing, maybe in the future, your eldest sister doesn't want to be a maid by my side, and maybe she wants to marry someone and be the main house. ”

"If that's the case, I'll be a maid for my eldest brother." Zheng Wan raised her head and said solemnly: "If the eldest sister is not appropriate, I will be the one, I sleep very honestly, and I will not grab a place with Sister Caiyin." Eldest sister, she is not honest when she sleeps, she often screams for help or something in her dreams, and beats people. ”

Fan Jin smacked her head, "Don't talk nonsense in the future, you are my sister, how can you be a maid?" Okay, go back to your room and go to bed, my brother is also going to talk to your sister Caiyin. Remember, no matter what time it is, I am your brother and you are my sister. ”

Zheng Wan, who was half coaxed and half driven to the backyard by Fan Jin, looked at Fan Jin's back and said softly: "I will grow up, and when I grow up, don't be your sister." I'm going to be a maid! ”

For three days in a row, Fan Jin went to the palace in the morning to study, and rushed back to the Hua family in the afternoon to do the final stage of the funeral. In the past, Hou Shouyong had a deep friendship with Hua Zhengfang, but this time he didn't contribute much to the funeral, which was a bit weird. Only Fan Jin guessed some clues in his heart, and took the opportunity to mention a little to his teacher: "The Sha family is very pitiful, and when the northerners reach Jurong, most of them are unaccustomed to the soil and water, and it is unbearable." Besides, she couldn't even understand the southern dialect, and she would suffer when she went there. If she could find a home that knew her roots and didn't dislike her, she wouldn't refuse. At least the disciple was sure to convince her. ”

Hou Shouyong's reaction was very special, and he did not reprimand him like thunder, nor did he agree. Instead, he glanced at Fan Jin twice, and said in a low tone: "Retreat, I envy you very much for your free and uninhibited nature." There are many things that dare to think and do, but being a teacher is absolutely impossible. Remember when I taught you to follow the rules? Although most of the rules in my heart have been broken, there are always some rules that my bottom line cannot be broken. Friends and concubines are indestructible, and I have a lot of dealings with Brother Hua, if I do anything at this time, what is the reputation of my old friends under Jiuquan? These things are teachers...... Nothing can be done. You just have to remember to take good care of her and do your best not to let this good woman be wronged. Also, you are not allowed to use any brains against her, otherwise the teacher will not spare you! ”

Recalling the attitude of his mentor, Fan Jin also felt a little embarrassed in his heart, not everyone is as bold as himself, and the woman he likes has to get it no matter what. The teacher obviously has affection for the Sha family, but he has to take into account public opinion and his friendship with Hua Zhengfang, so he doesn't dare to confess, even if he doesn't even want to seize the last chance, he can only break up gloomily.

The Sha clan was kept in the dark from beginning to end, where did she think that there were these entanglements, but she was a responsible person and a little cowardly, even if she was dissatisfied with Hou Shouyong, she would not say it in front of his disciples. For Fan Jin, she only has the word guilt, and she deeply feels that her family owes her too much, especially now that Fan Jin has entered the palace to accompany him, he has a good future in the future, and he dares to drag down his benefactor.

Now that the funeral has come to an end, the next step is to help the soul return to his hometown, even though he knows that there is basically no hope for his mother and son to go on the road, but Sha still gritted his teeth and proposed to Fan Jin that he would take his son to send the coffin back to Jurong.

Fan Jin looked at the woman's face, and secretly felt sorry for his teacher, such a woman is said to be enough to take care of his teacher for the rest of his life, he has to take care of these worldly eyes and give up, it's a pity. The face was very kind, "Sha Niangzi, but what is there about Fan that makes Sha Niangzi unhappy?" If so, please say it clearly, and Fan should apologize. ”

"No, no...... What did Eun Gong say? You are so generous to your concubine that it's too late to be grateful to your concubine, where can there be any unhappiness, isn't it a thing without conscience? There is absolutely no such thing, but ...... It's just that the concubine can't delay the future of the son. It's a long way to go, and once the son goes, won't his fame and future be wrong? ”

Fan Jin nodded and said, "If I lie to you, I can say that it doesn't matter, but this is not frank enough." I don't want to deceive Sha Niangzi, as you said, if I go to Jurong with you, I will lose a lot. Include...... An opportunity to enter Hallym Academy. ”

Sha Shi was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Don't you dare!" If it is for the sake of my family's affairs, if the son cannot enter the Hanlin Academy, even if he is a cow or a horse in the next life, he will not be able to repay the favor of the son, such a great kindness, where do we dare to accept it. ”

"But if I don't send it, how are you going to go back? First, coffins are generally not accepted on board, and coffins are not welcome on cargo ships or passenger ships. One is tasteful, and the other is unlucky. Second, the money is not expensive on the way back, and the old bag is empty, how do you go? Third, Jiyin suddenly lost his family and was depressed. It's nothing more than that the child is sensible and doesn't show it in front of you, if you don't eat well along the way, and then suffer from the cold, you will get sick. At that time, you were in the field and called the heavens and the earth not spiritual, if there are more bad people coveting it, how can you keep the face of the old man? And how to preserve his blood and bones? ”

After all, the Sha family is just Hua Zhengfang's concubine, or she has been turned from a girl to a regular person, and she doesn't even have a ceremony, so Fan Jin doesn't need to be too polite to her. A series of questions were like a series of cannons, which made her dizzy and red-faced, some of these questions were too sharp, which made her feel shy, but she also had to admit that every question Fan Jin had was very reasonable, and it was not something that she could avoid or pretend to be an ostrich to dodge.

"Perhaps...... Maybe there will be a way, there are always good Samaritans in this world......"

"Of course, there are good Samaritan people in the world, but there are also many bad people. It can't be done without a man with you. Fan Jin stood up, faced the window and said: "The eldest husband has a promise, since Fan Mou promised Sha Niangzi to escort you and the old bones back to his hometown, he must do it." No matter how much the price is paid or how much is lost, Fan is willing, and he will not use this as a condition, what do you want Sha Niangzi to repay, please rest assured. ”

Sha's age is not small, but it is not big, it is indeed a little worried about traveling thousands of miles, Fan Jin used this as a threat to repay himself, and at that time, he couldn't help but refuse. At this time, Fan Jin was broken, but she felt that she had the heart of a villain in the belly of a gentleman, and she was so ashamed that her face burned like fire, and she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, thinking in her heart: It's a pity that Jiyin is a boy, how good would it be if it was a girl?

Fan Jin said again: "Sha Niangzi doesn't have to think too much, Fan will take care of this matter, and he will call the court to ask for his resignation." Then we can go, I won't ask you anything along the way, and I hope that Sha Niangzi will promise me something. ”

"Eun Gong just commands...... The concubine did not dare to disobey. ”

"It's not an order, it's for convenience. It is inconvenient for both men and women to travel together, so I want to climb a family with your family, so that I don't have to talk a lot about it. Jiyin's child is very cute, Fan is very close to him, and wants to include him in the door wall and be one of my disciples. In the future, Jiyin will succeed in his studies, and Fan will rely on this disciple to help him more in his later years. ”

Sha Shi hurriedly said: "Engong is serious. Jiyin Huangkou children, what can they do? Being able to be Master Fan's disciple is his creation, according to the concubine's opinion, if you let Jiyin worship Master Fan as a father-in-law, and ask Master Fan to accept him as a righteous son, it will be easy to take care of him along the way. ”

"That's for the best. On the other hand, all the entertainment points along the way are made by Fan, so Sha Niangzi doesn't have to show up, I don't know if Sha Niangzi is willing? ”

"This is exactly what you can't ask for, concubines are most afraid of dealing with men, and it's best not to be able to get out. Thanks to the kindness of the father, otherwise it would be difficult for a person to die just by socializing along the way. ”

Fan Jin learned from Hou Shouyong that the Sha family was the first to be a maid for a big family, because he answered a few words from the eldest young master in the family, and the eldest young master thought that he was intentionally seducing, so he took advantage of the wine and dragged him into the firewood room, and later was driven out of the house by the housewife of the family, and suffered in vain. Since then, she has been a little resistant to talking to men, and she really won't refuse this request.

Take the power to socialize along the way, whoever wants to make a fuss about it along the way, or understand what the situation is, can't do it. As for taking Jiyin as a righteous son, the situation is also the same as that of a hostage, and with this relationship, even if the Sha family thinks of something in the future, they will never dare to tell the truth. Hua Zhengfang's corpse admonished Zhang Juzheng, even if it completely sinks to the bottom of the sea, there will never be a reversal. The next thing to do is how to walk the scenery and become a famous Beijing teacher. This good person can't be in vain, he has to make a little bit of money before he can get on the road.
