Chapter 343: Three Lives

ΝΏ~ 0:G=[ 30 [ ctu F v k O UzSDqqvKnRI The post is very large, and the rooms are empty, so it is not difficult to arrange. Yao Ba invited Fan Jin to the guest room, only chatted a few words, and then quit. He has always had a good relationship with Fan Jin, and he must have his own deep meaning if he doesn't stay much at this time. Fan Jin didn't rush to undress and rest, just cleaned his face, sat there and waited, and sure enough, it didn't take long for a strange woman's voice to sound outside the door, "Fan Gongzi, are you inside?" ”

"Agul?"

Fan Jin was no stranger to this voice, after all, there was only one Persian woman he had met. Her identity is Zhang Juzheng's concubine, but she didn't actually give a name, and she probably didn't know the importance of the word name to women in the Ming Dynasty's inner house, and she didn't fight for anything, so far she is actually a big girl who sleeps with her. Fan Jin couldn't call her aunt, so she had to call her name. Fortunately, Persian habits are different from those of the Central Plains, and Agul was born as a slave girl, so she does not resentfully others calling her name.

Hearing Fan Jin's response, Aguli said again: "That's right, this is it." ”

Immediately, the door was gently pushed, a slight creak sounded, the door opened a crack, and then a slender figure was as flexible as a cat, and went directly into the room, and without saying a word, he threw himself into Fan Jin's arms.

"Xianggong!"

The fragrance of non-lanfei musk deer came to his nose, this figure, this voice and this aroma were all familiar to Fan Jin, not Zhang Shunqing.

This night meeting is different from the last time in the Xiangfu Garden, Zhang Juzheng will not be secretly watching, and the two are bolder. First they hugged each other tightly, then their lips and tongues tangled together, and then they collapsed on the wooden bed in the guest room. Fan Jin was very glad that he was busy with the funeral all day, and his body was full of the smell of the plain incense at the funeral, and Li Cailian's traces were all covered, even if Zhang Shunqing was careful, he couldn't detect it. His fiery enthusiasm also made Zhang Shunqing not have the slightest suspicion.

The two were intimate for a long time, and it was not until they discovered some of Fan Jin's intentions that Zhang Shunqing was a little embarrassed to refuse: "Retreat...... I...... I have filial piety, and I can't serve you. If you want, I'll go find a girl......"

"No...... I don't want anyone but Qing'er. I know that you have filial piety, and I won't force you to do anything, but I can't help it for a while, don't be weird. It's good that we just talk. ”

Zhang Shunqing's face was crimson, and she felt a little guilty about not being able to serve Lang Jun, so it was not good to ask if she was not in this time, except for Qian Caiyin, an old woman, whether Ai Lang went to steal food again. She didn't know what Fan was doing, but she believed that something big must have happened, and she didn't care about it at first, and now she can't do anything else, so she has time to speak. When she learned about the past, she cried softly.

"No! Fan Lang, you can't do this, and Daddy can't treat you like this. If you don't join the cabinet, if you miss the election, you won't be able to be a cabinet minister in the future! It's about the future of your life, how can you act like that? I won't let you go. You are not allowed to call the shots in this matter, I have to have the final say! ”

"Qing'er, listen to me, even if there is no such thing as Hua Lao, I don't want to enter the Hanlin Academy. Of course, I would love to be a minister, but I would rather be your husband than an elder. If I had to make a choice between the ministers and you, I would not hesitate to choose you, and if I said a big rebellious word, it would be the emperor's throne, and it would not be as good as my Qing'er. ”

Zhang Shunqing heard it with a sweet heart, "I know that my husband loves me." But what does this have to do with you being a minister? Why does the marriage between you and me have something to do with your minister's position? ”

"Absolutely. Although Shibo asked the second brother to take the imperial examination and become a Hanlin, I bet that the second brother would never be allowed to enter the cabinet. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there have only been fathers and sons, when have there been fathers and sons? Civil officials are not comparable to military ministers, and their positions cannot be hereditary. If the father dies and the son succeeds him, or if he passes on his son-in-law, what is the difference between this situation and stealing the country? Shi Boding is regarded as a reckless minister, and that is the disaster of the annihilation of the clan! Moreover, knowing the father and daughter, think about it, Shi Bo is such an unfaithful and unfilial person? The old man is an assistant to the government, just to repay the kindness of the emperor and the righteousness of the master and apprentice, how can he do that kind of thing that angers and resents people? So I either enter the Hanlin Academy and be a clear stream for the rest of my life, but I can't hold real power. Either...... can only have a fate with Shun Qingtian, if I want to use you to exchange for the position of a minister, how can I do this kind of loss-making business? The whole big tomorrow is in my heart, and the weight is not as good as yours, so I only need you, not the ministers. Not being in the cabinet this time is not a loss for me, but a benefit and harmlessness. Do you think, if Shibo feels very sorry for me, and thinks about it, there is nothing to compensate me, and agrees to let you marry me, won't I make a lot of money? Of course, this kind of thing is enough for you to let Shibo know that I am going to be killed. ”

Zhang Shunqing has never thought about this, but he feels that his sweetheart is a talented person, and he should enter the cabinet to worship his skills. At this time, listening to Fan Jinfen, she also had to agree that what Fan Jin said made sense, but then she was a little aggrieved for Fan Jin.

A noble girl from the prime minister's court actually values the importance of her position of authority far more than ordinary people. In her position, the benefits of authority are seen even more. Whether it's money or beauty, as long as you have authority, it's not a problem.

With Fan Jin's appearance and talent, it is not difficult to marry. As long as he wants, the women of the Manchu Dynasty and even the noble families can also be chosen by him. On the contrary, he has lost his claim to him, and is no longer as precious as before. My father sabotaged the marriage several times, and if he retreated, it would really be my father's wish not to marry him, and it would not be my fault.

With his talents, if he really gave up on himself, it would not be too difficult to become a minister of Hanlin. In other words, he insisted on marrying himself at the beginning, and in addition to risking the anger of his father, he gave up his bright future.

No matter how proud Zhang Shunqing is, he will not think that he is more important than a cabinet old position. In other words, if Fan Jin really becomes a cabinet minister, it is not difficult to want a young and beautiful woman, or even a good family. Ailang has been silently sacrificing for himself, but he doesn't let himself know, compared to what is his struggle during this time?

As soon as she thought of this, Zhang Shunqing's nose was slightly sour, hugged Fan Jin tightly, and choked up: "You...... Why are you so confused. I'm your man on the left and right, I have a bad temper, I'm overbearing, and I'm not a virtuous wife. You should choose a lady to be a lady, and then go to be a cabinet minister. It's a big deal that after I get married, I will get along with you, be your woman, and don't give up my position as a minister for me...... It's not worth it. ”

Fan Jin also hugged her tightly, and the two seemed to hug each other tightly with the power of life. "I know Qing'er's character, if you are allowed to do something like that, no matter how happy you pretend to be, you will blame yourself and regret it in your heart, which is not good for your body. I can lose my position and authority, but I can't let you lose your health. In fact, there is nothing wrong with not being a cabinet minister, breaking the family and knowing the county is too guarded, and being a magistrate is very majestic. If you don't become a Beijing official with oil and water, you will also make a fortune. It's just that you have been wronged, you can't be an old lady, are you still willing to marry? ”

"Yes! Willing! Thinking about sacrificing so much for me, I can't say that if you can't be an old lady, you will become a cloth cloth in the future, and I am also willing to accompany you with coarse tea and light rice for the rest of my life. You have paid so much for me, so let me use the rest of my life to compensate Lang Jun, I will work hard to learn to be a qualified wife, and I will not be as unreasonable as in the past. If I don't do anything well, Lang Jun...... Just punish me. In front of you, I'm not a prime minister's daughter, just your lady, a little woman who has mistaken your future. ”

The two lips and teeth are entangled, but this time it was Zhang Shunqing who took the initiative, no matter what time she was in mourning or in what period, as long as her lover needed it, she was willing to give her all. On the contrary, Fan Jin finally kept his senses and knew that now was not the time to do such a thing, and besides, with Li Cailian, a noble girl, by his side during this time, he would not be in a hurry to do this. The two hugged each other and talked about love, only to feel that time passed quickly, and before they knew it, the window paper faintly turned white.

Fan Jin hurriedly said: "You hurry back to the room, it's not good to be known by Shibo." ”

"I'm not afraid." Zhang Shunqing bit her lower lip, "If you know, you know, if my father refuses to agree to you and me this time, I will cut my hair and become a nun and find a nunnery to become a monk!" During this time, I have begun to practice the Yijin Sutra taught by Xianggong, and others who dare to marry me will see that I don't beat him all over the ground looking for teeth! ”

"Okay, so my Qing'er is going to become a chivalrous girl?"

"That's right, who let my Lang Jun take peach blossoms for his life, and I have to learn some martial arts for my wife, so that I can beat those fox spirits to the point of bleeding before I can get angry."

"Then you should hit the culprit first, not those victims, just ask Mrs. to show mercy, and when the time comes, you will be merciful and use a few percent less strength."

The two were talking and laughing when Aguli pushed the door open and entered. Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao talked all night, and she also happened to have time to guard the door for Fan Jin for one night, and heard six or seven points of the words of the two, and she admired Fan Jin a lot. In the dark corridor, she thanked the gods more than once, gave the young lady the best husband, and decided to help the pair of gods and relatives as much as possible.

She walked in and smiled at Fan Jin first, looking like an elder looking at her son-in-law, and said to Zhang Shunqing: "Miss, let's go back to the room first, the master will lose his temper if he catches you here." Fan Gongzi should also go back to Beijing. ”

"Yes, Hua Lao's funeral is not over yet, why do I have to go back and continue cooking."

Zhang Shunqing remembered that Fan Jin was going to help Ling go south as soon as he finished the funeral, and he had to take the land route this way, but he took the water route, but he couldn't see it. There were countless lovesickness in my heart, so I had to turn into some warmth, and then I left with the red-faced Aguli.

Zhang Juzheng also made arrangements here, wrote the recital for Zou Yuanbiao's intercession, and handed it over to Feng Bao to bring back. In addition, a secret post was prepared, which recorded in detail Fan Jin's view that he did not create heroes and resolutely did not engage in court staffs, and played the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven in his own name. This is a unique power of the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, and this chapter is played in the form of secret disclosure, without going through the general administration department to attend the meeting, and the first assistant hand enters the emperor's eyes, and no one else can know.

To expound Fan Jin's views in this way is naturally not to take credit, but to endorse Fan Jin. After all, Fan Jin is a political scholar, this kind of thing can be said to Zhang Juzheng, but it is not enough to make this kind of suggestion to the queen mother and the emperor.

For Fan Jin, Zhang Juzheng didn't say anything, only told him to be careful on the road, and he looked a little cold. But it is this kind of coldness that reveals the real closeness, the relationship between Fan Jin and the Zhang family has reached the point where there is no need for extra politeness or verbal thanks, or in other words, Fan Jinli's merits and contributions are not a few words of verbal appeasement that can be rewarded, and there is no need to use this routine to perfunctory.

Hua Zhengfang's funeral was very magnificent, under the control of Fan Jin. First of all, the officials of the Kedao system, and then the officials of the yamen of all sizes in Beijing, and even the lord's mansion, also sent people to come to offer condolences and condolences, until the palace came to express condolences on behalf of the Son of Heaven, Hua Zhengfang's glory was pushed to the peak.

Outsiders don't know, but Hua Zhengfang's upright reputation has finally been rewarded as he deserves, and this honest and honest old man finally got the treatment he deserved after his death. But Sha's mother and son know very well that Hua Zhengfang's popularity and official position are not enough to make him have such a grief after his death, this time the face is so big, and the scene is so sufficient, it is all due to Fan Jin.

After all, the old man was honest all his life, and in order to keep the Qing officials decent in the last journey of their lives, these people who came to mourn only offered incense and saluted, and then condolences, and occasionally sent something was worthless, far less than the expenses needed to entertain them.

In the tent, Fan Jin's abacus beads were dialed quickly, and the crackling sound was like a series of slaps on Sha's face, making her face red. People have nothing to do with themselves, so why spend so much money? After living in Beijing for so long, the truth that human affection is as thin as paper has long been understood. She knew that she was in debt, a debt that she could never afford to pay, but she had to pay it back for the sake of her husband.

She is an extremely shy woman and is not good at socializing, but a man and a woman have been in the tent for too long and are afraid of causing criticism, so they have to ask boldly: "Fan Gongzi, a total of ...... How many taels of silver were spent? ”

"Sha Niang doesn't have to care about numbers, these are my questions, and they won't make it difficult for you. I have already borrowed 200 taels of silver from Feng Ji Qian Zhuang, and with my friendship with Feng Gonggong, it is easy to borrow a few hundred taels, and there will be no problems with the funeral. Also, Huijurong also needs to pay for the journey, and I will find a way to find this part of the silver, Sha Niangzi only needs to take care of Jiyin, and the rest does not have to be taken care of. ”

Two hundred taels ...... Hearing this number, Sha Shi only felt dizzy for the first time, and the twenty taels of Beijing debts made Hua Zhengfang breathless, so an upright old man had to accept the ridicule of those shop guys. Two hundred taels, with the current family situation, how should I pay it back?

She knew that the man had no intention of asking her to pay back, but this kind of personal debt was much heavier than the monetary debt. She silently thought in her heart: The master must have blessed us in heaven, so that his mother and son met the No. 1 good person in Beijing. Living Bodhisattva, this is really a living Bodhisattva!
