"Mr. Lu, I am so surprised and admired by your views on mathematics. I can even bet that with your knowledge of mathematics, even in our Europe, you are a first-rate mathematician. ”

After some academic exchanges with Lu Fatzi, Nan Huairen was completely impressed by Lu Fatzi's mathematical knowledge - no way, Lu Fatzi was more than 300 years ahead of him, and he was full of praise for Lu Fatzi, and he was almost a tea apprentice. And Xiao Mazi, who also likes mathematics, was even more dumbfounded, stammering, and exclaimed again and again, "Wonderful, it's so exciting!" I only learned today what it means to learn endlessly, what is it to have mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people! Lord Lu, you are really the first person in my Great Reckoning Technique! ”

"Long Gongzi has won the prize." Lu Fatzi replied to Xiao Mazi lightly: "These are just side doors, KitKat silver skills, self-cultivation Qi family rule the country and level the world, and we have to rely on our Qing Dynasty's book of sages, the doctrine of the sages." Although Lu likes this technique, he doesn't dare to put the cart before the horse. ”

"Master Lu is still modest, three hundred and sixty lines, the best in the line, you can ponder arithmetic to this point, it is rare." Xiao Mazi laughed happily, and asked curiously: "Lord Lu, if I remember correctly, you seem to be from Dali Mansion in Yunnan, and you are in the inland, how did you learn these Western doctrines?" ”

"Long Gongzi doesn't know." Lu Fatzi had been prepared for this problem for a long time, and said nonsense: "Dali is inland, but Nantong Myanmar Tianzhu, north of Tibetan Province Sichuan, rich in products, the production of marble and Xiaguan Tuo tea is famous at home, often businessmen from all over the world to Dali business. Lu was lucky, his father was the richest businessman in Dali, and he had many contacts with foreign businessmen. ”

"Could it be that Mr. Lu learned a Western language from the merchants of the East India Company?" Nan Huairen's eyes lit up, and said: "The British East India Company has established a trading post in India more than 50 years ago, almost monopolizing most of the East Asian trade, I came to China to take their company's ship, Mr. Lu, the British businessmen you contacted in Dali, ten are the merchants of the East India Company, I don't know if Mr. Lu remembers their names, maybe I still know them." ”

"Most of them don't remember." Lu Fatzi continued to talk nonsense: "But there is a fat teacher who is relatively short, I am very impressed, and I still remember his foreign name is Sirwinstonleonardspencerchurchill. ”

"Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill?" Nan Huairen casually translated into Chinese, and said in surprise: "Can't be wrong, this is an authentic British name, it seems that the foreign businessman who taught you these things must be English." ”

"Priest Nan, I have something to ask for below, and I hope you will agree." Lu Fatzi was afraid that Nan Huairen would continue to ask, so he quickly changed the topic and said: "Priest Nan, I think you also know that the "Geometric Original", a Western arithmetic masterpiece, has a total of fifteen volumes, and my "Geometric Original" of the Great Qing Dynasty has only translated the first six volumes, and the last nine volumes have not been translated into my Qing Dynasty for various reasons. Lu took the liberty of begging Priest Nan to provide Lu with a set of English versions of the full version of "Geometric Originals". ”

"Mr. Lu, do you want to translate the last nine volumes of the Geometric Originals into the Qing Dynasty?" Nan Huairen asked with a smile.

"Yes, exactly." Fat Lu nodded and said solemnly: "Lu's wish in his life is to translate this set of Western arithmetic masterpieces into Qing Chinese and dedicate it to my Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, so as to wish me a long life for the Kangxi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, prosperity and prosperity of the Qing Dynasty, and eternal prosperity!" Priest Nan, if you can help Lu fulfill this wish, Lu is willing to thank him with half of his family property! ”

"Lord Lu, do you really have this plan?" Xiao Mazi was very excited, so excited that every pockmark on his face radiated light, and he couldn't wait to pounce on Lu Fat Man and kiss him fiercely. And Lin Tianqing, Suo Etu and others, who had never dared to speak over there, subdued Lu Fatzi to the bone - the sycophants can be photographed to this point, which can be regarded as unprecedented and unprecedented.

"Not bad." Fat Lu nodded again, and said solemnly: "This is not only Lu's life wish, but also the common wish of my military and civilian people in Yunnan in the Qing Dynasty." As he spoke, Fat Lu pointed to Lin Tianqing and said: "It's like the former Yunnan Governor Lin Tianqing Lin, after I told him about this yesterday, he also applauded loudly, and said on the spot that he would do his best to help me to help the lower officials achieve this wish." ”

Seeing Xiao Mazi's admiring gaze turning to him, Lin Tianqing was so excited that he also wanted to kiss Fat Lu, so he quickly stood up and said to Nan Huairen: "Priest Nan, that's right, if you can help Lord Lu complete this magnificent masterpiece and dedicate it to Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, the old man is willing to thank him with ten thousand taels of silver to help Lord Lu fulfill his long-cherished wish." ”

Although he knew that Lin Tianqing was deliberately patting on the back, when he heard Lin Tianqing's words, Xiao Mazi still nodded appreciatively at Lin Tianqing, and had a little good impression of Lin Tianqing. It's a pity that Nan Huairen spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Lord Lu, Lord Lin, I understand your feelings, and I am also happy to help, but unfortunately, at present, I only have a set of Latin version of "Geometric Original" in my hand, and it is not the full version, so I really can't help." ”

"What? No? Lin Tianqing and Xiao Mazi were both disappointed, although the disappointed expression on Fat Lu's face was more serious than theirs, but he was secretly happy in his heart - Lao Tzu estimated that you are not a Belgian, if you really have, Lao Tzu will have a heavy hemorrhage.

"Father Nan, can you help me ask if the foreign missionaries in my territory in the Great Qing Dynasty have an English version of this set of books?" Fat Lu seemed to be very reluctant to ask.

"I can help you with this." Nan Huairen nodded, and said hypocritically: "If not, I can also ask someone to help you bring it directly from the UK, but you have to wait for a while longer, thousands of miles away, and you can't do it in three or five years." ”

"Cheng, whether it's three or five years, or ten or eight years, I'll wait!" Fat Lu gritted his teeth, took out two hundred taels of silver tickets from his sleeve, held them in front of Nan Huairen with both hands, and said respectfully: "Priest Nan, this is a little meaning, please don't be too little." After the matter is completed, Lu must still be grateful. ”

"This can't be done, no matter what, I am also a Qing official, and I am also an errand for the emperor, how can I accept your money?" Nan Huairen didn't want to accept it or not, of course he had to excuse himself in front of Xiao Mazi, and Lu Fatzi was resolute in the fortress, and Lin Tianqing over there also ran up to join in the fun, and bowed to Nan Huairen, forcing Nan Huairen to accept it, Nan Huairen resolutely refused to accept it, and the three of them, one old, one fat and one foreign, almost scuffled together for this, making the sacred and solemn church very lively.

Seeing such a scene, although Xiao Mazi tried his best to be silent on his face, his heart naturally blossomed, and although Suo Etu and Kong Sizhen and the others were jealous in their hearts, they were not too disgusted - after all, their special relationship with Xiao Mazi was placed here, and no matter how much Lu Fatzi and Lin Tianqing were two big sycophants, it was impossible to threaten their status and power. Only by betraying his hue to Kong Sizhen was exchanged for Zhou Chang and Zhou Peigong, who accompanied Xiao Mazi today, the limelight was robbed, and he secretly gritted his teeth, and hated Lu Fatzi to the core, but he was helpless - no way, although he was good at scheming and familiar with scripture and history, he didn't know anything about Western academics.

After pushing for a long time, it was Xiao Mazi who spoke, and Nan Huairen accepted Lu Fatzi's silver ticket, and promised to find a way to get an English version of "Geometric Original" for Lu Fatzi as soon as possible. And at this time, the time has passed noon, Xiao Mazi and Lu Fatzi should also say goodbye and leave, when parting, Xiao Mazi also smiled meaningfully at Lu Fatzi: "Lord Lu, we should break up, but I believe that we will meet again soon, when the time comes, I hope you can bring me more surprises." ”

"Surprise? What surprises? Fat Lu asked confusedly.

Xiao Mazi laughed and didn't answer, but just gave Suo Etu a look, Suo Etu understood, stepped forward and smiled at Lu Fatzi and said: "Lord Lu, Suo Mou is going to hold a banquet in the mansion at noon, please come over the house to talk, I don't know if you can enjoy the light for a while?" ”

"This ......, isn't it right?" Lu Fatzi was embarrassed and said: "Xia Guan is a person from the Pingxi Palace, and he went to your mansion for a banquet for no reason. ”

"Lord Lu, what are you afraid of? When friends get together, is the prince of Pingxi more accountant? Suo Etu smiled and said: "If Lord Lu is really afraid, don't tell the prince of Pingxi that it's okay, Suo can guarantee that the prince won't know about it." ”

"It's not going to work." Fat Lu shook his head categorically and said, "How can you make an ungrateful act to hide something from the prince of Pingxi?" ”

"Master Lu, why are you so dead-eyed?" Lin Tianqing was in a hurry, so he hurriedly grabbed Lu Fatzi's sleeve and said, "Lord Suo, please come over to the house to talk, it's just a gathering of friends to talk about some things, what is there to scruple about?" - Well, if you're really worried, tomorrow the old man will accompany you to Lord Suo's mansion, so that the prince won't have any opinions? ”

After that, Lin Tianqing couldn't wait to turn to Suo Etu and asked: "Master Suo, the old man and your father Suo Zhongtang can also be regarded as friends, the old man clearly said that he was cheeky to accompany Lord Lu to your mansion to disturb you, Lord Suo won't mind, right?" ”

"Haha, it's easy to say, Lord Lin can visit together, and Suo is even more desperate." Suo Etu laughed, agreed, and said: "Then it's decided, tomorrow at noon, Suo Mou swept away the marquis in the mansion to welcome the two adults." ”

After that, Suo Etu followed the smiling Xiao Mazi and the others to leave first, and Lu Fatzi complained at Lin Tianqing, Lin Tianqing just smirked and didn't dare to refute it, and in desperation, Lu Fatzi had to turn to Nan Huairen and asked, "Priest Nan, will you go with you tomorrow?" How about we go to Lord Suo's Mansion tomorrow and continue today's topic? ”

"I'm so sorry." Nan Huairen shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Lord Lu doesn't know, I was sentenced to exile because I offended the people of Ao Zhongtang, and now although I am sick and have not been driven out of the capital, I can't leave this church one step away, so I really can't accompany you tomorrow." ”

"Really? That's a shame. Lu Fatzi shrugged his shoulders in the appearance of Nan Huairen, and had to arch his hand and said: "Since this is the case, then we can only change our words and study arithmetic together, and we will have a period in the future, and we will leave." ”

………………

On the way home, Lin Tianqing had to find an excuse to squeeze into Lu Fatzi's carriage, and took advantage of the opportunity of no one to ask Lu Fatty: "Lord Lu, you really don't know the true identity of that Longde Hailong Prince?" ”

"Isn't he the brother of Lord Soethuso?" Fat Lu asked suspiciously, "What?" Do you know him, Lord Lin? ”

Lin Tianqing didn't answer, just stared at Lu Fatty's eyes, staring at Fat Lu in confusion, helpless, and didn't find the slightest flaw Lin Tianqing then put away his gaze, sighed, and said: "Lord Lu, you are so blessed, the old man can conclude that your future in the future will definitely be above the old man." ”

"Lord Lin laughed, the humble position is now the seventh grade, and it is still a full ten levels away from your second grade." Fat Lu laughed heartily and said: "Don't hide it from Lord Lin, in fact, there is no greed in the official position, the only greed is to be able to leave a name in history, and leave a good reputation like Hai Rui Baolongtu, and be satisfied." ”

"Lord Lu is really ambitious, enough to be a model for all officials in my Great Qing Dynasty." Lin Tianqing complimented casually, and snorted coldly in his heart-People Hai Rui and Bao Longtu won't be like you. Hmph, Lin Tianqing suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "No, Lord Lu, didn't you say before that you can go through the door for the old man in front of the emperor?" Now why do you say that you don't know Longdehai Dragon Gongzi? ”

"The younger generation can go through the door in front of the emperor, and the younger generation doesn't know Long Gongzi, what's wrong?" Fat Lu asked with a puzzled face.

"Then how do you go through the door for the old man in front of the emperor? Do you know the emperor? Lin Tianqing asked.

"A lowly seven-grade official, that is the opportunity to see the face of the sky?" Lu Fatzi flatly denied it, and said: "The reason why the younger generation said that he had a way to go through the door for Lord Lin in front of the emperor was because he knew Lord Suo Etuso and Long Dehai Long Gongzi, and Long Gongzi was okay, that Lord Suo Etuso, but the current queen's uncle, the emperor's relatives, once gave a waist card to the lowly position, saying that as long as the lowly position took this waist card to meet him, he would definitely meet him, and the lowly position was to take away his relationship and move for Lord Lin. ”

Saying that, Fat Lu also took out the waist card that Suo Etu handed over to him as a witness, Lin Tianqing suddenly realized, and then stabbed the fat on Lu Fatman's waist, and said with a wicked smile: "Lord Lu, there is no one else here, since you know that Lord Suo Etuso is a relative of the emperor, do you plan to use Lord Suo's mouth to tell the emperor about your loyalty to the emperor?" ”

"Lord Lin Shengming, there is a little bit of caution in his humble position." Fat Lu's fat face turned red, and he lowered his head a little embarrassed. At the end, Fat Lu asked again: "Lord Lin, what did you think about what I told you when I came?" If you can guarantee that the minimum salary of the prince of Pingxi is 3.5 million taels of silver, then you can guarantee that you will do your best to move the position of governor of Yunnan for you. ”

Lin Tianqing hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Lord Lu, the old man is completely convinced of your ability, but what the old man is worried about is that if this number is reported to Ao Zhongtang and the emperor, in the end, they will know the truth, and the old man will not be able to talk about his official position, but he is afraid that he will not be able to keep his head." ”

"Lord Lin, it's not that the juniors said you, what are you afraid of?" Lu Fatzi lowered his voice and said: "The real military salary limit of the prince of Pingxi, I'm afraid only the prince of Pingxi and the prince of Pingxi know about it, will they tell the emperor and Ao Zhongtang?" Since it is impossible for them to tell Ao Zhongtang and the emperor that you reported 3.5 million taels, how could they know that it was fake? ”

"That's just as well." Lin Tianqing thought about it carefully and found that what Lu Fatzi said was indeed very reasonable-as long as Kang Mazi and Old Man Ao didn't know the real number and reported a fake number by themselves, who could prove that it was fake?

"Also, Lord Lin, you also have to think about your future." Lu Fatzi observed his words and looks, and saw that Lin Tianqing was already tempted, so he lowered his voice and said: "Even if you really find out the hole cards of the prince of Pingxi, and truthfully report to the emperor and Ao Zhongtang, and successfully take over as the governor of Yunnan - but have you thought about it, when you arrive in Yunnan, do you still have a good time?" Do you dare to close your eyes at night when you sleep in Kunming City? ”

Lin Tianqing shuddered, and then remembered that he was betraying Wu Sangui - Wu Sangui's old thing's heart is not a bodhisattva's heart! When Fat Lu saw him wake up, he bewitched: "Lord Lin, so the younger generation thinks that if you really want to be the governor of Yunnan, and you want to be the governor of Yunnan comfortably, you will be loyal to the emperor and the prince of Pingxi, understand?" ”

"Thank you for your advice." Lin Tianqing arched his hand, gritted his teeth and said: "Thank you Lord Lu for your advice, the old man understands, please rest assured that Lord Lu will do what Lord Lu instructs, and the old man's affairs will be completely entrusted to Lord Lu." After the deed is completed, the old man will definitely not be able to treat Master Lu badly! ”

"Lord Lin, rest assured, the juniors will do their best." Fat Lu casually agreed, and the fat head full of bad water couldn't wait to start, "The best time to get rid of Nan Huairen seems to be tomorrow - today I just spent a lot of money to ask Nan Huairen to find the English version of the full version of "Geometric Original" for me, no one could have imagined that I would attack him every other day!" And there is another point, Xiao Mazi appeared in the Xuanwumen Church with me today, and if the local government investigates it, it will have to be a little scruples...... ”

"Wait, Nan Huairen's death may be able to be used again. At that time, Nan Huairen was imprisoned by the old man Ao, and now the goal of the old man Ao and Kang Mazi is to reduce Wu Sangui's military salary as much as possible, if I can blame Nan Huairen's death on the old man Ao, then Kang Mazi will have to turn his face against Ao Bai for everything, and as soon as they turn their faces, they will naturally have no way to join forces to deal with me and Wu Sangui in the matter of military salary....... ”

"And tomorrow and Lin Tianqing will go to Suo Etu's house, Suo Etu and they are ten likely** The idea of buying the cage for Kang Xiaomazi, when the time comes, how should I deal with it? And how can we take advantage of this opportunity............? ”

………………

Thinking about it, Lu Fatzi and Lin Tianqing returned to Wu Yingxiong's house together, and after arriving home, Lin Tianqing had to brag about Lu Fatzi's pedantic genius in front of Wu Yingxiong, and intentionally or unintentionally concealed the matter of meeting Xiao Mazi and Suo Etu and others in the church.

After the banquet was dispersed, the fat man Lu who had something to do casually found an excuse to go back to the room to rest, and after nesting on his kang for nearly an hour, the fat man Lu finally finished all the plans and called Xiao Erlang, Fang Shiyu and the Liu brothers into the room, and let the other two old family Ding brought from Dali stay outside the door and discuss with them privately.

"Today's hall, have you stepped on it well?" Fat Lu's mouth was full of black words, like the tone of a boss in the rivers and lakes, "Have you figured out the situation of the church?" Are you sure that you can touch it without knowing it, and then you can touch it out without knowing it? ”

"Back to the young master, we have figured it out." The brothers of the Liu family replied in unison, and Liu Zhen said again: "And we also figured out a very important point, that foreign devil named Nan Huairen lives in a room under the Guantiantai (Observatory), young master, if you want us to beat him or arrest him, you can do it at any time!" ”

"No, I don't beat him, I don't arrest him." Fat Lu gritted his teeth and said, "But I want you to kill him!" ”

"What?" In addition to Fang Shiyu, Xiao Erlang and the Liu family brothers changed color on their faces together.

"You must ask, why did I kill him?" Lu Fatzi glanced around at the dogs, and when he saw the dogs nodding, Lu Fatzi continued: "This reason, I can't tell you now, what I can only tell you is that killing this foreign devil is worthy of the ancestors of heaven and earth, worthy of his wife and children, worthy of heaven and earth, and worthy of conscience!" Do you believe me? ”

"I believe it." Fang Shiyu was the first to say: "My father and mother have told me, Brother Lu, you are a great hero who stands up to the sky, I want me to listen to you and learn from you, whoever you want me to kill, I will beat him to death with one punch!" ”

"I am the young master's family slave, and the young master's family raised me, and the young master is my heaven and my land." Xiao Erlang also said categorically: "I will do whatever the young master wants me to do, even if it is murder!" ”

"What about you?" Lu Fatzi turned to the three brothers of the Liu family, and seeing their hesitation, Lu Fatzi said in a deep voice: "Liu Zhen, Liu Xu, Shen Xin, I understand your thoughts, if you are afraid, I will definitely not be reluctant, I will also give you three hundred taels of silver, let you leave freely, in order to thank you for saving your life in Fujian." ”

Speaking of this, Fat Lu paused for a moment, and said solemnly: "But what I have to tell you is that I have prepared a perfect plan, and after you do it, no one will find out!" And after the matter is completed, I will definitely not be able to treat you badly, you will be my brothers, my confidants, as long as I Lu Yifeng still have a bite to eat in the future, I will never let you starve! If I am developed, you will also be developed together, and he said that I will enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, and you can at least get a glorious ancestor and a wife! ”

After talking in a low voice, the three brothers of the Liu family stood up together, knelt down on Lu Fatzi's knees side by side, and Liu Zhen said: "Young master, when our three brothers were about to starve to death, it was you who didn't think we were lowly, took us in, rewarded us with a mouthful of food, and rewarded us with a piece of clothing!" Our three brothers are not people who don't know how to repay their kindness, since you have spoken to this point today, then you can give an order, from now on, our three brothers are your own brothers, and we will do whatever you tell us to do! ”

"Young master, in fact, we have long seen that you are not just a county order, you are a person who really does great things!" Liu Xu and Shen Xin said in unison: "Follow you, we can rest assured, and we also feel that there is a rush!" Young master, don't worry, from now on, we will do whatever you want us to do! ”

"Good." Fat Lu nodded with satisfaction, got up and picked up the three brothers of the Liu family one by one, held their hands one by one and said: "Good brother, today we are brothers, I, who is the eldest brother, will never let you call the eldest brother in vain!" Share the blessings and the difficulties. ”

After picking up the Liu brothers and sitting down again, Lu Fatzi asked everyone to sit down around the charcoal basin and whispered to them, "Listen, tomorrow at noon, I will go to Suo Etu's mansion with Lin Tianqing for a banquet, and then you will follow me first, and when you reach the destination, you will find an excuse to leave Suo Etu's house, and then ............." ”

………………

Just as Fat Lu and the doglegs were discussing those sins that hurt heaven and reason, in a luxurious room in the inner city of Yanjing, Kong Sizhen had already hugged Zhou Peigong with a frank hug on a warm fire pit covered with expensive fur, and finally satisfied Kong Sizhen, after the passion, Zhou Peigong licked the crimson strawberry on Kong Sizhen's chest, and asked: "Sigege, you said that in the church today, that Fat Lu really didn't recognize our Long Live Lord?" ”

"It shouldn't look like it." Kong Sizhen gasped and said: "A seven-grade sesame official, if he knows the identity of the emperor and sits side by side with the emperor and talks eloquently, then how can he talk freely and behave as usual?" If you are a little timid, I am afraid that you will be scared down a long time ago. ”

"What? Do you suspect that Lu Fat Man already knew the identity of the emperor? Kong Sizhen's two snow-white thighs wrapped around Zhou Peigong's waist, and he rubbed unsatisfiedly and asked, "Do you see any flaws?" ”

"Humble is so suspicious." Zhou Peigong admitted it calmly, and said distressedly: "But the humble position just can't see the slightest flaw!" In short, that Lu Yifeng, if he didn't really know the identity of the emperor, he must be a cunning and unfathomable! ”

"But you can't produce evidence, what can you do?" Kong Sizhen said helplessly.

"Sigege, humility is a method, and it can definitely expose Lu Yifeng's true face." Zhou Peigong let go of the strawberry on Kong Sizhen's chest, leaned into Kong Sizhen's ear and muttered in a low voice, "Tomorrow, when that fat man Lu arrives at Master Suo's house, Sigege can ...... like this." ”

"Lack of virtue ghost, you can think of such a method!" Kong Sizhen smiled suddenly, and asked with silky eyes: "But even if you expose his true colors, what use can you have?" The master can use him now, even if he knows that he is pretending, what can he do with him? ”

"At the very least, the emperor can see his true hypocrisy clearly!" Zhou Peigong said viciously: "After the emperor saw his true face clearly, Long Yan was furious, and he would not appreciate him so much, we can also take the opportunity to find out the truth of Fu Honglie Fu's case!" ”

"And you can take the chance, right?" Kong Sizhen pinched Zhou Peigong's face and scolded with a smile: "You little white wolf, your heart is quite narrow, I can't see that Fat Lu has stolen your limelight, right?" ”

Zhou Peigong smiled awkwardly, which was a tacit acquiescence. Fortunately, Kong Sizhen didn't continue to care, just opened her legs, and said with a smile: "The slave family can help you with this, but the slave family has helped you so much, should you repay the slave family well?" ”

"That's what a minion should do." Zhou Peigong smiled, took two steps back with his hands and feet, then knelt up, lay down on the black spot between Kong Sizhen's legs, stretched out his tongue and licked it carefully.
