Chapter 258: A Short Journey (I)
The sun was shining brightly, and the warm sunlight shone into the room through the window paper.
As a martial artist, although Xue Sufang was born in a family of eunuchs and later fell into the Qing Building, she did not develop the lazy sleep problem that those women often have. Insist on getting up before dawn every day to practice martial arts, rain or shine. Even when he was sick, he insisted on practicing martial arts, and his martial arts were honed in this way. Today is the first time that an exception has been made.
A beauty who is a first-time woman, looking at the sky, has a shy and sweet smile on her face. I am a woman with a husband, a husband, not a benefactor. was sold to the Department of Teaching Workshops when his family changed, but he was able to keep his innocence to serve his beloved, and God treated him really kindly.
Feeling the man's even breathing, he looked sideways at Fan Jin's handsome face, thinking about the madness of last night, Xue Sufang's face smiled even more. I really should let Zhang Shunqing take a look now, who of the two of us won this man. Although her appearance is better than herself, and her family is stronger, she is definitely not her opponent when it comes to serving men.
Because she has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and later followed Feng Mingqi to practice superior martial arts, Xue Sufang's physical fitness is far better than that of ordinary women, and her well-maintained fine skin and tender flesh are exactly the ideal image of a chivalrous woman in the scholar. Ma Xianglan specially taught her the art of inner charm, although she never had the opportunity to practice, but she mastered the skills. After all, the women in the courtyard are from low backgrounds, and if they want to get a good home in the future, they must have a few skills to tie up Lang Jun.
No matter how beautiful the daughter of the prime minister is, or how high she is in her education, she is definitely inferior to herself in this regard, not to mention that a weak woman is better than her own body. Xue Wu, who was a first-time wife, only felt that her waist and legs were weak and her limbs were weak, thinking about Zhang Shunqing, whose body was not as good as his own, he secretly said in his heart: He definitely didn't dare to work so Zhang Shunqing, only Fan Lang, who I could serve, was satisfied, and it was useless to have more feelings over time.
Her hand gently ran over Fan Jin's chest, feeling the strong and powerful body. After last night, she knew very well what a strong physique this seemingly weak scholar had. Even a woman who has learned kung fu can't bear it, let alone someone else?
Both civil and military, can not only bow down and be a little to please women, but also make people happy like a fairy, such a man is a good match no matter how you look at it. Regardless of whether he is successful or not, he has to go to Jiangning with him, go to the old sisters for a walk, and let them know that Xue Wu has found Ruyi Langjun, and his persistence that day has finally paid off.
Fan Jin also opened his eyes in her groping at this time, reached out and grabbed her fingers, and snorted, "Naughty." Wake me up, are you responsible for the aftermath? ”
Xue Wu's face flushed slightly, and he whispered: "It looks like a white-faced scholar, but it's actually a big bull." ”
"What did you say?"
"I said that I had found a wild cow to be my father, and I would give birth to many calves for this wild cow, spread branches and leaves, and continue the incense. I knew I wouldn't have been with you for the past few days, but I put up with you for so long, and I almost broke me up last night. I don't even want to move now. ”
"It's okay if you don't move, I'll serve you."
Seeing Fan Jin get up and dress, Xue Sufang said, "Are you serving me like serving the eldest lady?" ”
"Of course. The guarantee is the same. In fact, I also treat the concubine in my family the same. It's just that everyone is different, like Sister Hu who doesn't let her live, as soon as I serve her, she cries, and she has to serve me. ”
Fan Jin got up, changed his clothes, fetched hot water and twisted a towel to wipe Xue Sufang's body. Xue Sufang is a popular woman in the Youlan Pavilion, so naturally someone serves her, but she also knows that even the wife of a large family can't enjoy this kind of service from her husband. If you say that Zhang Shunqing is like this, it is necessary to take into account the other party's family background, and there is no need for this kind of thing for yourself, which must be sincere.
It is easy to ask for priceless treasures, and it is rare to have a lover.
A woman from a hospital doesn't have the idea of being a wife. All I want is that a man is talented and good-looking, and it is best to have money, and the rest is to be good to himself, so as not to be oppressed and abused by his wife. The Fan Jin in front of him is the most perfect object for Xue Wu, even if he is an outer room, it doesn't matter.
Fan Jin, who finished cleaning the battlefield, came to the desk, spread out the four treasures of the study, splashed ink, and painted something on it. Xue Sufang, who was neatly dressed, got off the ground and came to Fan Jin's side to look over, but saw that the woman in the painting was wearing a strong suit and dragging a long cloak behind the hilt of the sword, with a majestic demeanor and expressive eyebrows, which was the same as herself.
This is the romance at this time, Xue Sufang has seen a lot of talents, but no one can match the man in front of him in terms of Danqing's means, his heart is excited, and he hugged Fan Jin from behind and said: "Retreat, in your eyes, am I so beautiful?" I want this painting, and I am not allowed to give it away. ”
By the time the painting was completed, it was already noon, Sister Gui cooked the porridge and brought it over for lunch, and said that the men had all drunk too much yesterday, and they didn't even get up today. In other words, only Fan Jin and Xue Sufang know about themselves, and it is not very clear outside. I will also keep my mouth shut and will not leak any news.
Fan Jin thanked him and said, "Actually, it's nothing if it leaks." Sooner or later, this matter will be put on the table, and besides, Shun Qing is not an unreasonable person, she should be prepared for this matter. I want to say it in the future, but it's better to say it now. ”
Sister Gui shook her head and said: "Master Fan, what the concubine thinks about Miss Zhang is one thing, what we do is another, this kind of thing will not be happy even if a reasonable woman is happy, I'm afraid it's not good if you say it." ”
Xue Sufang smiled, "When we were leaving, what she said to me actually contained the meaning of letting me serve Fan Lang. She is shrewd, and she knows that she can't stop it left and right, so it's better to be a favor, which not only shows that she is generous and considerate, but also demotes my status to a girl. When the marriage is completed in the future, she will throw me out casually, and will not let me enter the door, and there will be no threat to her. ”
She snorted when she said this, and said disdainfully: "I really can't see this little bit of caution? If there was no dim sum in that place in the Youlan Pavilion, it would have been cleaned up a long time ago. I can't afford to mess with her, can't I hide from her? I don't go in the door, just the outer room, and see what she can do with me. Sister Gui, don't be afraid, when you go back to Jiangning with my godfather, I guarantee that your husband and wife will be reunited. In the future, Zhang Shunqing will bring a maid to fight, and she will only kill me, and she will not implicate you. ”
Fan Jin shook his head and said, "I won't let her beat you, of course, you can't beat her either." ”
"Well, I know that Fan Lang will protect me, I have trusted you. Besides, I will be easy to fight, even if I don't fight back and let her fight, it won't be so easy to beat me to death. ”
The two talked and laughed for a while, and at this time, someone outside the door came to hand over the post, but it was the Guangdong Association that sent someone to invite Fan Jin to participate in the Guangdong Student Cultural Meeting organized by the Association today.
The imperial examination is not only an opportunity for a son to gain fame, but also an opportunity to marry, develop a social circle, and broaden his network. Some of them who know that their knowledge is not enough to pass the examination also come to participate in the examination, the purpose is to use this opportunity to meet more people, make more relationships, and take care of them in the future, whether they are doing business or other things.
Fan Jin didn't take the initiative to participate in the literary meeting, but when the literary meeting came to the door, it was difficult to refuse. Moreover, the Guangdong Association organizes a hometown association, which cannot be refused. It is also reasonable to do a career in officialdom and find fellow villagers as a foil.
When Fan Jin left, Sister Gui pulled Xue Wu into the room and said in a low voice: "Miss Xue, Miss Zhang has her thoughts, and you have to deal with it." I have an opinion on the matter with Master Fan, and I don't know if it's right or not, so you can listen to it. ”
This cultural meeting activity initiated by the Guangdong Association is actually a hometown association to put it bluntly. The exams are over, and everyone is not in a good state to engage in serious 800 writing activities, at most they are writing some poems and songs to spice up the atmosphere and improvise some word games. Invite some Qinglou women to perform to liven up the atmosphere, after all, the four major irons in life, in addition to passing through the window together, there is also a ticket together, so what's not?
Due to the fact that the level of culture and education in Guangdong is only stronger than that of Fujian, in the eyes of the Qinglou women, the status is half low and not high. Of course, Guangdong's cultural and educational level is higher than that of several northern provinces, but under the three-volume entry model of the north, south, and middle, it suffers from congenital losses.
Qinglou women will also calculate, at this time it is natural to know more Jinshi than to make more friends with some people, and it is more cost-effective to make friends with famous people than to make friends with ordinary people, even in terms of wealth, most of the Guangdong lifters are not as rich as the southeast lifters. Generally speaking, the popular Oiran can't be invited, and most of the people who come are second- and third-rate characters and outdated leaders. A large part of the reason for inviting Fan Jin was to use his name as a signboard to deceive a few more leaders to participate in the event.
As soon as Fan Jin arrived at the place, he found that the hall was very lively, with a large group of warblers and swallows, flowers and flowers, and there were some delicate women in it.
These women have different styles, either reserved or bold, some of them talk cordially with the scholars, and some of them are more cold and do not talk much. But as soon as he heard Fan Jin's name, all the women's eyes looked at him, and several women rushed out from the surrounding scholars, and went straight to Fan Jin, saying as they walked: "Which one is Fan Gongzi?" Which one is the Fan genius who ransomed Xue Wu from Jiangning, and his daughter was scattered just for the red face? ”
There are sources in the flower world, and they don't care so much about who invented cowpox, but who is famous in the industry, who is out of fashion, and what their movements are.
The news of Xue Wu's arrival in Beijing has quietly spread, at first these women thought that they had come to Jianglong to grab the dock, ready to fight with her, but then they heard a news that Xue Wu had settled in Congliang, and it was said that Fan Jin was the one who paid the money.
Due to the power of the Xu family and the Zhang family in the whole matter, it didn't actually cost much to ransom people, but they just asked the relevant officials of the Ministry of Rites to do some pointing, and went through the formalities. But if you tell the truth, how will the Ministry of Rites make a fortune in the future? Therefore, it is rumored that Fan Jin, a talented man in Guangdong, ransomed Xue Wu as a concubine with 3,000 taels of silver. This price can be regarded as astronomical at the moment, and of course there are people who can come up with this money, but there are not many people who are willing to use this money to buy a maid as a concubine.
In order to pull more women to come, the initiator of the Wenhui also deliberately made publicity, vigorously publicizing that Fan Jin opened a restaurant in Guangdong, and heard that the family has a big business. also helped Ling Yunyi with military affairs, and I don't know how much net worth he has accumulated. The two news are combined, and it confirms that Fan Jin is a rich and astringent local tyrant.
He is talented, good-looking, young and rich, and he is the best benefactor in the eyes of a good girl, and more than half of the beauties on the scene came in for Fan, and as soon as people came, they all came around.
While entertaining these women, he laughed and chatted with several acquaintances, and soon discovered Xie Yuanlin Mengchu of this department. Fan Jin has read his article, and it is indeed more solid than what he wrote, but the problem is out of place. His style of writing does not match the current mainstream appreciation tastes, especially Zhang Juzheng's preferences, and it is a little difficult to say whether he can win this subject.
Looking at his face, it was also found that Lin Mengchu's mood was not high, and there was a gap between him and his high-spirited appearance when he was in Guangzhou. stepped forward to say hello, and Lin Mengchu saluted Fan, "Brother Fan, I want to congratulate you." ”
"What is there to congratulate? It takes twenty-seven to be on the list, so it's too early to congratulate, right? ”
"The night of the candles in the cave room, and the title of the gold list, are all great joys in life. The reason why Brother Fan is late, the younger brother already knows a little bit about it, there is this good marriage, you Kebijie Nangong. We people are waiting for fame, but your fame is already in the bag, so you don't have to be polite. ”
Fan Jin was stunned, "Brother Lin, where did you start with this?" Where did the news come from? ”
"Brother Fan, everyone is from Guangdong, although I am Chaozhou Tsai, everyone is Cantonese here. Even our accent is laughed at, no matter who comes out, it is all for the sake of the hometown, why should you hide it. The title of the gold list, you have to marry a wife, we can't envy you, no one will be jealous, you just have to rest assured. ”
He patted Fan Jin on the shoulder, "Congratulations, Brother Fan." Those of us who still have a rabbit in our arms now, and you are as stable as Mount Tai in your heart, you are the most relaxed person in today's cultural meeting. ”
Fan Jin shook his head and said in his hometown accent: "Maybe it was like this just now, but after listening to your words, I am afraid that there are more rabbits in my heart now than anyone else." ”
