Chapter 355: Literary Girl
Zheng Chan is a typical Northland rouge, tall and big, Xu Liu is a standard southeast soft girl, small and exquisite, Zheng Chan's clothes are worn on her, and she looks smaller and smaller. She originally gave people the impression that she was a weak little girl, but now seeing her almost wrapped up in her big clothes, Fan Jin treated her as a big child in his heart. I didn't take the meaning of the Wei State Mansion to heart before.
Originally, the two were not too familiar, but through Zhang Shunqing's relationship, coupled with the previous experience in Tianhuazhuang, and then Fan Jin taught her to play games, flower arrangements and other things to open her mind, the relationship was always good. The matter of family affairs is illusory, and it is not clearly said, so it is not offended if it is not done. However, the friendship between the two has always been based on Zhang Shunqing as a bridge, and there are not many times when they meet alone now.
Listening to her brother-in-law's call, Fan Jin smiled: "To be honest, I am very happy that you call me so, but others may not be satisfied when they hear it." ”
"It's okay, I'm only calling it that in front of my brother-in-law. Anyway, I know my sister's affection for my brother-in-law, and you two are mandarin ducks who can't be separated. It's all written in the books, if you have a lover, you will eventually become a family, you must grow old, and it is right to call your son-in-law brother-in-law. ”
"Then borrow the auspicious words of Miss Six. But Miss Six is not in Jiangning, how did she get to Jurong? ”
"It's not just me, but many sisters have come to Jurong, brother-in-law, you should know, right?"
Fan Jin nodded, "I do know that there are many ladies and famous beauties, and there are also some wealthy businessmen in Jiangning City who have come to Jurong, and I heard that they are hiding from Feng Bangning." But you can't be afraid of him, can you? No matter how bold he is, he won't dare to provoke you, after you are a hereditary lord, although I know that Feng Bangning has a bad brain, but he has not been completely confused and has not yet reached home, and he will not look for death in you. ”
In the previous literary meeting, Fan Jin had heard the news from the local scholars and scholars that Feng Bangning had arrived in Jiangning, and he had made this capital a miasma. Thinking of the scene of meeting Feng Bangning when he was in Chongwenmen, Fan Jin couldn't help but feel that life is really impermanent.
It is said that after Feng Bangning arrived in Jiangning, he mixed with Huang Enhou's son Huang Jien, and recently became a famous female killer in Jiangning City. Huang Jien was a famous Huahua Tai Sui in Jiangning City before, but after all, he had some scruples and didn't dare to go too far, mainly just to act in a clear building woman and force a Qing man to go into the water. Feng Bangning's lower limit is lower, he doesn't like to go to Qinglou to find women, he only likes to find women from good families. Jiangning was originally an open city, and it was common for women to take to the streets, and some women also liked to form associations or hold small gatherings. This kind of social atmosphere encountered a villain like Feng Bangning, and tragedy naturally happened.
It is said that dozens of women have been humiliated, some have committed suicide, and some have gone to the yamen to complain. But Feng Bangning didn't just mess around, he would understand the other party's roots before he started, and only found those women who had no roots in small households, and the official eunuchs would never touch it. Therefore, although the behavior is bad, the actual impact is not particularly large. Ying Tianfu's officials couldn't blame Feng Bao for the people's daughter, at most they could only say a few words of mourning without pain, and then they hired a few famous actors to serve him. Feng Bangning's arrogance became even more arrogant, and his behavior became more and more presumptuous. In addition to ordinary folk girls, his hand has reached out to the women of the merchant family.
Although the merchants at this time already had some power, and the citizen class was also beginning to take shape, but in front of the overseer of Dongchang, this kind of social identity or strength was still far behind. Feng Bangning didn't really mess with those businessmen who had contact with important ministers in the court, he only looked for ordinary merchants, and at the same time, he would give benefits and cooperate while playing with the other party's daughters. Seeing that the family couldn't protect themselves, these businessmen and women were even more worried about exchanging themselves for benefits, so they could only run away. In a sense, this escape was a cheap local scholar in Jurong, many people were looking forward to a romantic encounter with these women, and some people were blind to Feng Bangning's evil deeds, and they generously made a speech at the banquet, and recently turned their grief and anger into alcohol.
Fan Jin already knew about this kind of thing, but there was no reason to interfere, after all, he was just a political practitioner and could not interfere in Jiangning's affairs. Besides, Feng Bao has always been on his side, and now that he jumps out to interfere with Feng Bangning, he is a bit unknown, and he just keeps it in mind. But Feng Bangning is not a stupid person, he can't do anything to a girl like Xu Liu, even if he does, he will be cleaned up, he can't figure out why Xu Liu ran to Jurong.
"I'm not afraid of that villain, but my friends have all reached Jurong, and I'm bored in Jiangning alone. Besides, Jurong is not a paradise, what if that villain also comes here? I'm here, and I can protect everyone, as long as they're with me, the villains won't dare to mess around. ”
Seeing such a villain saying that he wanted to protect everyone, Fan Jin couldn't help but laugh: "I can't see that Miss Six is still a woman." ”
"She's not a woman. It's that everyone has made a club together, everyone supports me and recognizes me as the leader, and of course I have to protect my sisters in the same society. Besides, I'm a monk now, and I'm neither a woman nor a sixth lady. ”
Fan Jin was stunned for a moment, she knew that she was going to become a monk before leaving Jiangning, but she thought that it was nothing more than a decision made under the successive blows and emotional uncontrollability at that time, and after a long time, she would naturally change her mind. How could a pampered woman who had been pampered since she was a child endure the hardships in the temple, and no one in Jiangning City would be so bold to shave her.
I didn't want her to talk about being a monk at this time, Fan Jin looked at her hair, and Xu Liu said: "I am a cultivator with hair, and I haven't shaved my hair." Master said that when I am old, it is not too late to shave again. However, my master himself did not shave the degree, anyway, the master said that the cultivation of the mind is not about external objects, and whether the shaving is just a form or not, it does not matter. ”
"Then who did you follow to become a monk?"
"An aunt in my own family, she died and became a monk. Everyone calls her Nun Xu, and doesn't call her real name. ”
"Then who taught her the Fa?"
"I heard my aunt say that she has never apprenticed to anyone, and she is all self-taught."
Fan Jin nodded, and said in his heart: It's easy to do this kind of nun who brings her own dry food, and Xu Liu's master is not a nun at all, not even a layman who cultivates at home. Such a noble lady in Baoming Temple slept several times by herself, but her husband was in a bad mood when she died, and she couldn't get along with her husband's family, so she took her share and put on the name of a monk. has the money to build a family temple, even if it is a nun, no one actually admits it. Such a wild fox Zen official will not be recognized, and Miss Six can advance and retreat freely, so it is a good thing that she will not miss her life because of impulse.
Although she doesn't have a deep relationship with Xu Liu, and she is a noble child, she is much better off than most women nowadays in terms of life, but seeing her weak appearance now, Fan Jin still can't help but want to pity her, and can't bear to really let her be a nun. He looked at the veil on Xu Liu's face and said, "Miss Sixth is still wearing this?" Aren't you stuffy on such a hot day? ”
Xu Liu lowered his head, "I'm too ugly, if I don't wear this, I'm embarrassed to speak." ”
"I'm afraid what Miss Six said is not the truth. Thinking about Miss Six's appearance and moon appearance, even Shun Qing said that she was quite inferior to Miss Six, how could she say an ugly word? Presumably you call me brother-in-law on your lips and look down on me in your heart, so you wear a veil to remind me that you are not worthy of looking at Miss Six's face, it must be like this. ”
When Xu Liu heard this, he only thought so about Fan Jin, and hurriedly said, "No, I really don't mean that!" I came today to ask my brother-in-law to see what I wrote, how dare I look down on my brother-in-law. ”
"If you don't think so, then take off the veil. Otherwise, I'll treat you as a despise me. ”
"Good...... All right. ”
The two mothers-in-law glanced at each other, and said in their hearts: My own lady said nothing at home, this veil will not be taken off to death, whoever wants to take off her veil will cry and make a fuss, even Mrs. can't do anything about her, when she meets this brother-in-law, she is like a little pitiful being pinched, it seems that one thing is one thing, and it is no wonder that Mrs. does not prohibit Miss from associating with this Fan Gongzi.
Xu Liu carefully took off his veil at this time, looked up at Fan Jin, and lowered his head with inferiority. "Isn't it ugly, it must frighten my brother-in-law."
Fan Jin shook his head and smiled: "That's wrong." If the sixth sister is such a beautiful lady, it is wrong to say that she is frightened, it should be said that she is beautiful and bad. ”
Xu Liu's face is already fair, plus he doesn't work all year round, and he always wears a veil after smallpox, so he is even more white and tender. At this time, after receiving Fan Jin's praise, I saw two red clouds spread on my face, spreading all the way to my ears, red as clouds, and even more lovely.
In fact, her appearance is also very beautiful, but it is different from Zhang Shunqing's alluring and unusually flamboyant beauty, she belongs to the gentle and lovely type, which is very attractive. At this time, wearing an ill-fitting long coat, coupled with this shame, it is even more pitiful, obviously a big girl, but like a child. He bowed his head and cowardly muttered something, but he couldn't hear it clearly.
Seeing that she was embarrassed, Fan Jin hurriedly changed the topic and said, "What kind of club did Miss Fang Cai Sixth say?" I only know that the Southeast scribes like to do the society, and the women are also interested in this? ”
"That's it...... Even if men do it, we will do it too. Xu Liu's voice was lower than Fang Cai, and he couldn't hear it clearly if he didn't listen carefully, so he didn't dare to look at Fan Jin, so he only lifted the wooden box that he had been holding in his arms and put it on the table. A few of us women formed a Begonia Club to make poems and write scripts. Xiaomei is the head of the club, and she has written two articles during this time, which have been stereotyped and printed, and the works of several sisters are also in it, please brother-in-law...... Upper wrist. ”
Only then did Fan Jin understand that what was in this wooden box was a manuscript written by this little girl herself, no wonder she cared so much. In fact, you don't need to look at Fan Jin to know that there are no good goods here. Xu Liu's own literary talents, but it does not mean that he can write, and the so-called colleagues led by her are most likely to value the wealth of the Wei State, and find a financier to facilitate publishing, and how high can his own knowledge be.
Fan Jin didn't remember that there were any famous female families in the Ming Dynasty in this era, so he was not optimistic about the articles of the Begonia Society, but it was inappropriate not to see the identity restrictions, so he had to open the wooden box and take out a few books inside.
These books are beautifully bound and the quality of the paper is also of high quality, and in the form of a book, most of the books are so good that they will not make much money. Fortunately, the Wei Mansion didn't expect this gain, and no one cared if it was all lost, mainly to make Miss Six happy.
Fan Jin flipped the pages of the book casually, and saw that the content inside was really as he thought, it was nothing more than the back garden of Miss Qianjin, the champion of the fallen son, there was nothing unusual, and the text was relatively immature, and it was estimated that the author's age was not very old, and there were many places where traces of excerpts from others and even the whole paragraph were copied.
After reading a few articles, just when Fan Jin felt bored, he was suddenly attracted by the latest article in front of him. First of all, the text is very beautiful, and there is a world of difference compared to the writing of the previous articles, and secondly, the subject matter has bright spots. Although it is still the son's trouble, and the father-in-law regrets the marriage, but the young lady who has been married since childhood has passed away, and the grass on the grave is already several feet high, how can this be round? Could it be that the fake death stalk came out later? Or is it a substitute for a stalk? But there is only one son and one daughter outside the staff, and there is no one available.
Fan came in and became interested and continued to flip, but before he read a few articles, he slammed the book on the table and said to Xu Liu: "This ...... Who are you in this society? What is this written! Why are the scholars and brother-in-law together, and ...... I also gave birth to a baby! What's going on! And it says that two men are doing those things together...... You dare to look at it even a little girl? ”
Xu Liu said with an innocent face: "What's wrong with this?" My brother-in-law also went to Beijing to take the exam, how can I not know Hanlin Feng? If my brother-in-law enters the Hanlin Academy, it will be like this. Besides, I'm not a little girl, I've read all those things, and I've written some of them myself, so what's the matter? Brother-in-law, hurry up and read me, see if I write well? ”
She is the leader, and the article is at the end. Fan Jin's brain was still in a state of lightning strike, and he didn't reflect it at once, and after a while, he paid attention to Xu Liu's works. I saw that the topic was: domineering brother-in-law and ugly aunt, my heart relaxed a little, it's good that I am not a domineering brother-in-law and a pretty brother-in-law.
Looking at the content again, Fan Jin has to admit that although Fang Cai's article is very scorched on the outside and tender on the inside, it is much better than Xu Liu's article in terms of writing. Xu Liu's writing reveals the naivety and youthfulness of a little girl, and belongs to the level of text ticket holders. The story is even more high-fashioned as his domineering owner who fell in love with me, wrote a handsome and amorous brother-in-law, married a beautiful eldest lady, and then this eldest lady had an ugly and simple little sister to live with them.
The ugly little sister is ugly and stupid and can't be loved, but the domineering brother-in-law is like being blind, and he doesn't love his beautiful wife, and he is attracted by this little sister who either loses his precious books or breaks his beloved Zihao. The little sister-in-law did everything she could to prevaricate, until one thunderstorm night, the domineering brother-in-law couldn't control himself and forcibly occupied the little sister-in-law's Qingbai. After that, it was a sadistic and bitter love, my aunt ran away, got pregnant, and met a warm male second, but in the end I was caught back by my brother-in-law again, and after a hundred postures, I followed my brother-in-law with all my heart. Later, my sister became seriously ill, and before she died, she entrusted her husband to the care of her aunt, and the family of three lived a happy life......
In addition to the writing, just looking at the content, Fan Jin also felt that something seemed wrong, and looked at Xu Liudao: "Why do you want to write my sister to death, she doesn't seem to be wrong." ”
"Originally, the little sister wanted to write about the sisters and the queen and the princess, but the other members said no, it's not true. said that no matter how good the sisters' relationship is, when it comes to the father-in-law, it must be a fight to the death. They also have to write about how their sister abused their sister, and in the end, their brother-in-law found out their true face, and their sister committed suicide in shame. The little sister weighed one or two and felt that writing like this was the most compromise. ”
Fan Jin only felt that there was a feeling of five thunderbolts, what kind of people are these people, why did my sister commit suicide in shame in this matter, it doesn't make sense! And why is the heroine a little sister-in-law, Xu Liu called another brother-in-law, what is the situation?
Just when he was suspicious in his heart, Xu Liu said again: "Brother-in-law, sisters all want to see you as a talented person, after all, without you, there would be no Begonia Society." My little sister has already made a package ticket in front of my sisters, and my brother-in-law won't let me lose face, right? ”
