Chapter 70: The Venerable Master's Joy (Part II)

Liang Pandi, who was in the jingchai cloth skirt, heard the greeting, and didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he rushed over to find someone, and a few servants at the head of the door didn't know why, so they stopped her and refused to let her in. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Liang Pandi is not a person who does not know the general situation, but when it comes to Fan Jin, it is inevitable that he will be concerned and confused, and he doesn't know what is going on inside, and the more he stops her, the more he wants to go in. The identities of the two brocade clothes were not close enough to the poetry society, and the servants who were in charge of supporting them outside the door refused to let them go, so the contradiction arose. Liang Pandi is quite tolerant of kung fu on weekdays, but today he is extremely anxious, the more noisy the two become, the more intense it becomes, if it wasn't for Fan coming in time, he would almost have a big fight.

When they walked into the poetry club, those Qinglou women looked at Liang Pandi, and then at Fan Jin, there were more interesting things in their eyes, and as for a few scholars, they were more disdainful. Fortunately, the people of Guangzhou are very different, and no one can say anything about these things.

The old man's servant beckoned Fan Jin over, and the old man looked at Liang Pandi, twisted his hair and smiled: "It's for her that Fan Xiaoyou is in a hurry to go out?" And then made a note of casual hand? You must know that the chessboard is like a battlefield, one son is wrong, and the whole game is lost. Aren't you afraid that if you go on with this hand, you will be defeated and you will lose your teacher? ”

Since he didn't really fight, Fan Jin was also relieved and said with a smile: "The old gentleman said that he laughed, the world is like a chess game, and if you go down in one step, right or wrong is not a word." Maybe it's wrong now, it's right to change things in the future, and even if it's wrong, it doesn't matter, just start over. Jiangdong disciples are talented, and the comeback is unknown, and a temporary victory or defeat may not be the endgame. ”

The old man pointed to the chessboard, "I have come with an army of 100,000 people, how can you guarantee that there is still a chance to make a comeback?" ”

"Wildfires can't be burned, the spring breeze blows and grows, and if you can't kill all the children, you will have the opportunity to fight again."

The old man laughed, "If you can't kill a good one, you can fight again, and it seems that some of our battles have been fought." ”

At this time, Sa Shizhong, the owner of the meeting, finally came late, and apologized to the people as soon as he came in, saying that his tardiness was really an accident, and he was busy with some idle things to delay the business. After greeting a few scholars for a while, he came to the old man again and saluted: "Old man, Shizhong is late, don't be surprised." ”

"No, you didn't come too late, if you came too early, the old man would have less pastime. I have been in Guangzhou for so long, and I have not found a suitable chess friend, but today I finally met and played a game of chess, which is a good thing. Playing chess with Fan Xiaoyou is much more refreshing than playing chess with you. ”

"What do you mean, old man?"

The old man took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Fan Jin, "I just said, if you win this game of chess, I will give you some worthless gadgets." Preface, you can talk about this thing. ”

Liang Pandi peeked at the side, she couldn't see what was written on the paper, but a very familiar thing on the envelope shocked her delicate body. On the envelope was a copy of the governor of Guangzhou.

The old man in front of him, who was able to take out the documents related to defense, was naturally related to the governor's yamen. The governor is a single official, without subordinates, and his temperament is not a servant, so his identity is most likely that Ling Yunyi, who patrols Guangdong with the title of right deputy imperial envoy.

The woman, who was not afraid of the world, shook her body like an electric shock at this time, and her legs were slightly weak and wanted to kneel. Fan Jin also gathered his clothes and was about to bow down, but the old man stopped him with his eyes, shook his head and said:

"A chess idiot is old, what is there to be afraid of? If you have something to say, I'll talk about it tomorrow in the yamen. Shizhong has already told me about the military rations, do it well, don't rush it. You have a lot of patience when you play chess, and you have to have that patience when you do things. If you want to ascend to the sky in one step, most of you will have to be defeated, and you can reap the full success by fighting steadily and steadily, step by step. Thinking about these words, I won't keep them. ”

Sa Shizhong and Fan Jin sent Ling Yunyi and another old man all the way out of the South Garden, and since Ling Yunyi had revealed his identity, he no longer concealed it, and made a gesture to them, "Let's all go back, we have to salute and give ginseng, and we will talk about it when we arrive at the Yamen tomorrow." Today is nothing more than a poetry club game, no need to be polite, and go back to deal with those non-Fu Yuanrong, don't worry about me."

On the way back to the Poetry Society, Sa Shizhong couldn't stop compensating Fan Jin. "This meeting is what Dazhong Cheng meant, and I just follow orders. He has the style of Meng taste, is a good monk, and likes to recruit some talents in the shogunate. In recent years, he has been patrolling the provinces and has collected some talents. After arriving in Guangzhou, let's recommend some capable people and invite them to the scene. Brother Fan's painting Dazhongcheng was full of praise after seeing it, and he had to arrange such a meeting, but we were not allowed to leak the news. It's about Dazhongcheng, who dares to let the joints go out casually. ”

Fan Jin also understands that today's poetry club gathering is actually a job fair in the Ming Dynasty, and he is not the only one who is qualified to be invited to the shogunate by Ling Yunyi. Those high-minded talents are all candidates. In order to cover up his identity, it looked like a normal party on the surface, and even asked Ji Nu to be a cover. And most of the places for this recruitment are only one.

The expenses of the shogunate came from the governor's own pockets, so the number of people was uncertain, not that if Fan Jin was hired, no one else could be used. As long as Ling Yunyi wants to, everyone present today can be included in the curtain. Obviously, those scholars who talk loudly are not liked by Ling Yunyi, because they don't know the situation, and Fan Jin, who is cautious in his words and deeds, has the most appetite for Ling Yunyi.

Fan Jin naturally couldn't refuse the invitation from the governor, and it was necessary to have some understanding of the temperament of the future proprietor. From this incident, it can be roughly figured out how much Ling Yunyi is a person, and the future can only be explored by himself.

Liang Pandi's hands have been very cold, and even his steps are a little unsteady, walking inside, and asked in a low voice, "I ...... just now Almost with the governor's people? ”

"Yes, third sister, you are too powerful, you dare to fight anyone you meet. He is the governor's guard, and his martial arts are very powerful, have you ever fought? ”

"I didn't mention martial arts to you, I mean, that's the governor! Governor! If this is to blame, how can it be good? ”

"I even gave the relevant book, what to blame." Fan Jin pointed to himself, "That's the letter opened by the governor, and he hired me to be a copywriter." I'm a master, what else will he blame? ”

"Huh? If you are hired as a master, will you still be able to test your fame? ”

The two muttered, the person had returned to the poetry club, and Sa Shizhong's perfunctory methods were very clever, and he laughed and laughed with a group of scribes, so that people could not feel that the old man who had just left was such an important person, and these people would not understand what they had missed. On the contrary, because of the appearance of Liang Pandi, several Qinglou women returned to Xiangshan scholars, which made these people's interest even higher.

Sa Shizhong was very good at dealing with these people, talking and laughing with the scholars cordially, as if he was a confidant with everyone, and he was polite when talking and laughing with those women. It seems that this is an ordinary literary meeting, and the identities of the two old men have not attracted anyone's attention.

After waiting for a while, he came to Fan Jin and Liang Pandi, looked at Liang Pandi a few times, and said, "Brother Fan has already explained the matter of military rations to Miss Liang, right?" This time is no longer than last time, and the amount of time required is also larger, and more importantly, there must be no mistakes. If there is any more moldy grain, or a lot of sand and gravel, I am afraid that it will be difficult to explain it to the army. Girl, I'm afraid you have to work harder, put more effort into it, I won't let the girl be busy in vain, and I will have a share in return. ”

Brother Liang Pandi had just met the governor, and he was not so afraid of Sa Shizhong, so he nodded generously, "Don't worry, Sa Gongzi, I won't be half-hearted." No matter how much grain is on the ship, I will not inspect it less, and ensure that there is no stale grain and rotten rice into the warehouse, you just have to rest assured. ”

"Cool! People like girls, as long as there is an opportunity, I think within a few years, we will have you among the businessmen in Guangdong. After the completion of this grain business, I made a deed for the girl in the yamen, and I also opened a tooth. Silk tea, grain and wood, do whatever you like, and rest the rest is on me. ”

The meal is opened in the poetry club, the wine is the best rose dew, the dishes are mainly seafood, the scholars only pointed out the military machine, and the slaughter of crabs and shrimps is also brave. In addition to the drunken ears, the literary atmosphere and the smell of wine and fish and shrimp are overflowing, or chanting poems or making fu, and the women are playing the piano and flute, and the scene is very lively.

Fan Jin hadn't seen Liang Pandi for a long time, so he specially told Sa Shizhi to take a leave of absence and wanted to send her back. Sa Shizhong did not mean to stop it, but only reminded that there was a banquet at home at night, and Fan Jin must participate.

Since Fan Jin was here, most of the attention of those Qinglou women was on him, and his farewell was quite popular with these scribes, and no one kept him. Walking out of the South Park, Liang Pandi looked back, let out a sigh of relief, and then pulled Fan Jin to ask with a serious face: "Why did you get involved with Jinyiwei?" If my eldest sister hadn't told me, I wouldn't have believed it. These people are not easy to provoke, if you don't do it, you will lose a layer of skin, you are a student, don't have too much contact with them. ”

"What can I do, people can't come to me, can't I give face, right? Let's go, go home first, and have something to say. Your home is packed up, and you have to think about moving when you go back, and you will have to do big business in the future, and it is inconvenient to live in that place again. Sa Shizhong gave four hundred taels by himself, and Zhang Weizhou had some silver for the joints. With this money turnover, we don't have to pay anything, we can make a lot of money back. After all, tens of thousands of stone of grain, one stone of grain to earn one catty, is also tens of thousands of catties, the profit is very large. It's that the third sister has to work harder, tens of thousands of catties of rice to earn, and the whole person is afraid that she will have to lose a few points, so I'll be fine, sit on the ground and collect money, and eat your white food. ”

Liang Pandi shook his head and said: "You shouldn't say that, you have taken the sponsorship of a Confucian scholar, this is the first priority, which one can compare." The silver of the Sa family, my strength, how can it be worth more than this recommendation? If you want to tell the cost, you still have the most money. The third sister touched your light last time, and got in touch with Chen Ji Yaxing, although she didn't make military rations later, but when the grain ship docked, someone still asked me to come forward and say that there was still money to be made. This time, tens of thousands of stone grains are made, and my sister is afraid that she will make a fortune. ”

"It's good to make a fortune, and it's good to make a fortune to support me."

"I don't dare to say that, you have to go to Zhongcheng to be a copywriter, how can you still use the third sister to raise." Liang Pandi looked at Fan Jin and kept nodding,

"I knew that Jin Tsai was so smart that he wouldn't die of old age in a place like Xiao Fanzhuang. Follow Zhongcheng well, study hard, and be a big official in the future, we will have face with you. Sister is responsible for earning money, and you are responsible for studying hard and doing business. Those who are big officials, I heard that this is what they do, one person is an official, and others do things, which will not affect their reputation, nor delay their wealth, killing two birds with one stone. We have to learn something from them. ”

Fan Jin nodded and said, "I listen to the third sister, whatever you say, I will listen to you." Let's move things first, those useless and stupid things, throw them away, and when you get rich, you can replace them with new ones. ”

"A ruined family, a broken family is worth a thousand yuan, where is it so easy to throw it. Besides, where are you going to live? ”

"I'll live in my yard first...... Don't hit...... I'm afraid I'm going to live in Sa's house recently, and I won't be able to go back for a while, so the third sister will help me take care of it. Although the courtyard was originally rented, is it now...... I think it's almost mine, and I'm going to have to get it alive when I get back. ”

Liang Pandi walked for a while before asking: "Those women, they seem to admire you very much, of course I know that my son is the best, and they should admire you." But you must be measured and not damage your body. But just now I smelled that you didn't have the smell of those women, you are good, and you will be rewarded when you look back. ”

"Reward what?"

"Give you a big fist!"

The two of them laughed and walked forward, both feeling that time passed quickly. I didn't think I had to walk for long, and I had already come to the place where Liang Pandi lived. If Nanyuan is the face of Guangzhou, it can be regarded as the acne of Guangzhou.

A slum clinging to the city walls, close to the docks, makes it easy to do business on a daily basis. The so-called houses are built by the nearby villagers themselves, wood and bamboo plus thatch or reed mats, a house can be built in a very short time, the quality and living environment are not discussed, and the safety is not guaranteed, and there are no rich people living here. Coolies, maidens, small merchants, plus some men and women of unknown origin. The layout of the buildings is chaotic, and the gaps between the houses form paths, which are chaotic like a labyrinth.

In this environment, the only rule is that the fist is big enough. If it weren't for Liang Pandi's good kung fu, in this kind of place, I am afraid that he would have been eaten long ago and there would not even be bones left. Even the yamen don't come and go here when they are idle, and if something happens, they only find the local boss to solve it.

At the entrance of this block, a thin figure was looking down and waiting for something, like a lonely goose waiting for his companions to come back and look for it.

It looks like this represents a weak existence, and if you stay in this kind of place for too long, it can easily be swallowed in one bite. Fortunately, a tall and strong man nearby was guarding her, so that the nearby city fox society rats did not dare to take half a step.

Liang Pandi and Fan Jin recognized the identity of the lonely goose almost at the same time, "Sister Hu? And beside her, who served as a bodyguard, it was Liang Pandi's partner Guan Qing.

The two walked over in a few steps, and Liang Pandi asked, "Eldest sister, what are you doing here?" This is not the place where a girl like you should come, how can there be a reason to lead people here after clearing you as a decrepit person? ”

"Boss, it's none of my business, it's the eldest sister who wants to find you. I said you were in the South Park, but she refused to go, so I had to bring her here. ”

When Sister Hu saw Fan Jin, she took two steps back a little crampedly, turned around and seemed to be leaving, Liang Pandi grabbed her, "I have something to say home, what is the matter, I will help you clearly." ”
