Chapter 252: The Lady

The process of leaving Zhang's Mansion was extremely smooth, and the entire Xiangfu seemed to have a defensive blind spot, Fan Jin went from the embroidery room to the back door, and then to the outside, without any obstruction, knowing that Zhang Juzheng must have made arrangements, otherwise it would not be so easy. In addition to complaining about this old man in his heart, he also has a little good feeling, and it is not completely unkind.

Recalling Fang Cai's love scene and Zhang Shunqing's haggard appearance, Fan Jin also felt a little guilty in his heart. In order for herself to be so low, she was so small that she was disappointed in Xue Wu's affairs.

Even if he still has enough strength to deal with Xue Wu after stealing the incense, Fan Jin doesn't have the idea of having Long Wangshu in his heart, at least tonight, he won't do anything to be sorry for Zhang Shunqing. As for the future, we can only take one step at a time.

When he returned to Zheng's house and entered the door, he saw Xue Sufang waiting for him with his hand holding his cheeks. Seeing him come back, he hurriedly got up to greet him, helped take off his coat, sniffed Fan Jin again, and said with a smile: "It seems that tonight's retreat is still to serve Miss Zhang, you are not afraid that a year later, you will marry your son?" ”

"If that's the case, I'm afraid that in less than a year, Zhang Xiang will take me to Shenhu." Fan Jin smiled, "I'm sorry, I ......"

"Needless to say, I understand. With a big beauty like Miss Zhang, it is impossible for any man to endure it. If you dare to steal incense in the Prime Minister's Mansion, you are really astringent. Come, I will serve you to lie down, and you can tell me how the eldest lady is doing. ”

This night, the two held hands and talked, but their hearts were as calm as water, and no one wanted to cross the chasm. Although Fan Jin was grateful for Zhang Shunqing's infatuation and couldn't bear to lose it, Xue Sufang was obviously also very satisfied with this atmosphere of spiritual love. In comparison, compared to the love between men and women, it is the mode of getting along in front of her that is more about her thoughts.

It's not that she averses physical contact with Fan Jin, but that contact is mainly to please her husband, not what she wants. In the Qing Building, she saw a lot of men who coveted her body, and she cherished more for the men who were distracted.

Because of her past experiences, she has to deal with men who want to possess her, and as she does now, sleeping with men and just talking like a confidant is the life she really wants. It's Fan Jin's worry, but it's not necessary, this level is much easier than imagined.

The next day, Fan Jin washed his face early and ate, Fang Zi went to the boxing, and Xu Jue came with someone again. This time, in addition to the people from the East Factory, there are also a few more craftsmen. Xu Jue pointed to the gate of destruction and said:

"This morning, I guarantee that this door is the same as new, if you are not satisfied, just order, this is the people of the Ministry of Industry, and it is the easiest to do this job." He said to Fan Jin again: "Master Fan, all the things you want are ready, will you come with us?" ”

"I'm tired."

Since he had made it clear to Xue Wu, Guan Qing and others, the people around him were in a very relaxed mood. The little girl of the Zheng family ran over early to help clean up the house, and just happened to see this scene, biting her fingers, not knowing what she was thinking about, but she smiled more happily.

The sedan chair still came to the small courtyard where he came yesterday, Feng Bao was still waiting there, and when he saw Fan come in, he first greeted him a few words, and then pointed to the table, "Fan Gongzi, please look, can these things still be used?" ”

On the table, linen, paint, brushes and other objects are very well prepared. Fan Jin originally brought some of these things with him, even if he didn't have them, he could use the top number he carried, he didn't want Feng Bao's methods to be so powerful, it was really so easy to get these. He nodded, "It's enough, but I don't know who described it?" ”

"Just talk."

Outside the door, a bell rang, Feng Bao hurriedly got up, Fan Jin knew that the identity of the person who came was unusual, and he hurriedly got up to prepare to greet him. The curtain of the door was lifted, and a gust of wind sent a scent in. The fragrance is not strong, but it is very long-lasting, refreshing, and you don't feel it at first smell, but later you can't help but take a few more breaths and smell more of the fragrance that is rare in this world.

With the fragrance walked in, a noble lady dressed in splendid clothes, and two delicate maids in Tsing Yi supported her on the left and right, for fear that she would fall. This noble lady is only about three years old, with a pink face and peach cheeks, willow eyebrows and a sandalwood mouth, although her appearance is extremely beautiful, what is more noticeable than her appearance is her temperament.

There are many types of beauties, such as Xue Wu and Zhang Shunqing, who are cold, and Wang Xuexiao, who is also childish. This woman's appearance is solid, and her temperament is also very easy-going, like the eldest sister next door, gentle and lovely. At first glance, you will feel that this woman is very easy to get along with and easy to approach, and even willing to be close to her from the heart. But when you take a few more looks, you will find that although the woman's beautiful eyes have a sense of affinity, there is also a solemnity that should not be lightly offended. If anyone has a blasphemy towards it, only being glared at by this eye, most of them will dissipate seventy percent of the fire.

Most of the women with this temperament are women with status, and they are the kind of transactional women who are responsible for daily affairs and have specific contact with the people below. But there is a lot of fireworks on such a woman, and it is not like this woman floating in the dust. Its first feeling to Fan Jin was: a man among the gods.

On her forehead, a red cinnabar was lit, and if you looked closely, you could see that it was a lotus pattern. Dressed in a snow-white mink fur cloak, when he was unloaded in the room, he was wearing a snow-colored jacket skirt, which was generous and generous, and looked pure and pure, not stained with any dust.

Feng Bao hurriedly rushed over to salute at this time, "The slave maid asked Mrs. to say goodbye, and it was really a sin to alarm Mrs. Fa Driving, and I hope Mrs. will forgive me a lot." ”

The woman smiled at Feng Bao, "Feng Daban is polite, the concubine is just a grass people, how can she be compared with Da Companion." The big companion has a trick, how dare the concubine not come? ”

"Madam, you are blaming the old slave by saying this, you can tell me if you ask your child to say something wrong, just say that the old slave must have paid for him."

"Sin. My Buddha is compassionate, and I don't kill evil. It is inevitable that Otomo will kill and create evil for the country, which is a helpless move, and he should repent and not do ordinary things. If the great companion is used to killing people one day, and wants to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot, it will be very difficult. ”

She looked at Fan Jin again, beckoning to Fan Jin like an elder looking at a junior, "Come over and let me see it clearly." ”

Fan Jin didn't dare to disobey, so he had to walk over obediently, and the woman looked up and down for a while, nodded and said, "Good face, he is a blessed person." You must cherish your own blessings, and do not do anything wrong and ruin this hard-won blessing, you know? ”

"Remember, students."

Feng Bao introduced at this time: "Madam, this is Fan Jin, you already know. Fan Gongzi, this is Mrs. Li, and Cisheng are sisters of the family, and now they are sealed with the second order, copying scriptures for the Queen Mother in Baoming Temple, praying day and night for my Daming. The person you asked to explain was Madame. ”

Fan Jin hurriedly gave a salute when he heard this, but was stopped by the woman, "You don't have to be polite, people outside the party don't talk about many vulgar etiquette." As long as you have respect in your heart, you don't need to stick to the form. Moreover, Fan Gongzi is rich and rich, and he will be the pillar of the court in the future, so why should he worship me, an ignorant woman, who can't speak, can't speak. ”

After the two guests sat down, Mrs. Li and Fan Jin talked a few words of homely things, and then asked: "Master Fan, your ability in poetry and articles is naturally very good, but you don't know the Buddhist classics, can you dabble in it?" ”

"Not really."

"That's a pity. Fan Gongzi has lived thousands of people with cowpox, which is a great merit, and he is really a person who is related to the Buddha. In fact, the Buddhist scriptures, like the study of the saints, are all teachings on how to establish oneself and behave in a way that is one's life. Compared with Confucianism, Buddhism is closer to the common people, and ordinary people may not understand the teachings of the sages, but they can understand the theory of karma in this life and the next life. Learning the study of Buddhism well, it should be more beneficial to educate the people in other days, and Fan Gongzi should learn more when he is free. ”

"Madame taught me that the student wrote it down."

This woman's temperament is very noble, but in conversation, she often considers herself an outsider, and the female monks nowadays are not necessarily nuns, and there are also female crowns with hair, but it is rare to dress up like her. The transcendent temperament on his body should be exercised in Buddhism, a professional demeanor, not a temperament that he was born with.

Thinking of this, Fan Jin's evaluation of this woman lowered a few levels, I thought that there was really a fairy-like character in this world, but now it seems that it is just man-made, which is not valuable.

Listening to Feng Bao's description, she should be the mother of today's son's biological mother. The Li family is from a poor family, the kind of woman in the family, that is, the village girl level, this woman's noble lady demeanor, which has been practiced in recent years, is still inferior to the daughter of a civil servant like Zhang Shunqing.

Of course, it must be admitted that Li's basic quality is good, his appearance is good, and he should marry not badly, and he may be a role with a bit of identity when he is in his in-law's family. Wait until you have the status of a royal family and your status is improved, and then you will have appropriate contact with some high-level social circles, as long as you are not too stupid, how can you have this kind of temperament.

Feng Bao was making an introduction on the side, and during the greeting between the three of them, Fan Jin almost figured out the identity of this woman. She is the cousin of the current Queen Mother, a close relative, and has an excellent personal relationship with the Queen Mother. In Baoming Temple, it is not only to copy the scriptures, but also to replace the queen mother's monk.

If it is placed in the Qing Dynasty in later generations, this is called a substitute monk, and the status is respected, and ordinary people cannot afford to provoke it. Although the Ming Dynasty does not have such a systematic system, but a cousin of the Queen Mother and the identity of a monk in place of the Queen Mother are enough to deter ordinary people, no matter how powerful Feng Bao is, it is only reasonable for the emperor's slave to be polite to this Li family.

Li has read books, and has been influenced by the environment in Baoming Temple, and has a bit of a fairy temperament. Compared with well-educated people like Fan Jin and Feng Bao, the background is worse, but with the support of identity, he can still be outstanding. After she appeared, the direction of the entire meeting was controlled by this lady, and Feng Bao and Fan Jin could only agree.

After greeting for a while, the woman took the initiative to lead the topic to the scripts written by Fan Jin. The words written by Fan Jin are divided into many categories, such as chivalrous golden darts, and the main focus is Wanli, a second-year teenager who knows some words. And stories such as Miss Zhu's Martyr's Tale and Luo Saiao's jealousy and falling into the family are aimed at women like Mrs. Li, who are free, rich and know how to read. It can also be seen from her reaction that she is very interested in these scripts, and today's meeting is very fan-like to see the author.

After discussing the plot and character views in the book, the woman looked at Feng Bao, "Companion, it's not early, there are still so many things in the palace, the concubine doesn't dare to stumble your legs here and miss the official business of the celebrant eunuch." You just have to get busy, and leave the things you want to do to the concubine. ”

Feng Bao nodded, "The slave maid is trying to take leave with you, you also know it, it is the exam period, there are too many things, and the slave maid can't sit still here." The fans outside are left for you, and if Madame has anything to say, just call them. ”

"No need. Fan Gongzi is a gentleman, and you left a bunch of rough blanks with knives and swords here, which is really a bit killing. Let them retreat out of the courtyard, and no one will be allowed to come in without me. ”

"The slave obeys."

Feng Bao gave Fan Jin two more instructions, nothing more than doing everything according to his wife's orders, and then got up and left. The silence in the courtyard was still there, and the Dongchang fans came or went, but there was no movement, as if they had never existed. The woman came to the window, looked out, nodded with satisfaction, turned her head to look at Fan Jin again, and smiled slightly, "Master Fan, you are going to take the exam in this subject, right?" ”

"Exactly."

"It is said that at this time, Juzi is mostly studying, and I am really embarrassed to pull you to do things. But don't worry, I won't let others suffer. As long as you work hard, you will be rewarded for your fame. Feng Bao told you, I came to Fan Gongzi to ask you to paint a picture, but you can't see that person. ”

"Exactly. It all depends on the description of the lady, and the little student still draws it. ”

The woman smiled slightly, "Say, I can't tell, I'm not a reader of you, and I don't know so many words." You can draw a picture in my image, and I'll see what Childe does. Come, you two wait. ”

The two maids in Tsing Yi untied their bags from behind, and after entering the screen with the lady, it didn't take long for them to turn out from behind. It's just that the dress has been greatly improved, the woman in the middle is dressed as a goddess of mercy, and the two maids are dressed as a dragon girl, and the other is dressed as a protector of the Dharma. She smiled at Fan Jin and said, "Master Fan, work your big money." ”

"Don't dare, it's time for a small effect."

After about half an hour, Fan Jin put down the pen and handed the canvas to the woman. On that canvas, a portrait of Master Guanyin has been completed. Behind the Buddha's light and feet, there are lotus flowers at his feet, and his appearance is almost the same as that of this lady. The one who made the change was to paint this woman more beautifully, a little more beautiful than the real person. Due to the use of oil painting techniques, the Li family in this painting really has a bit of a god and Buddha temperament.

The woman looked at the painting repeatedly, nodded her head, and said, "Good! Fan Gongzi really has a good means, Feng Bao can be regarded as finding the right person this time, then you can slightly change it according to this painting, and then paint another one. If this painting is painted, Mrs. Ben will ensure that you will be prosperous and prosperous. ”
