Chapter 461: The Old Man Under the Spring Sun
After discussing some usual matters from Dashanghui, Yang Fan had to return home empty. After the rain, the sky is clear, and the thunderstorm comes and goes quickly. When the carriage drove to the palace, he saw the figure sitting on the threshold, and was a little surprised why he had come.
"Why don't you come in and find me, what are you doing here?" Yang Fan asked, and he could see that the man was only recognized from that hand. The man took off his hat, looked up at the familiar face, and said, "Sir, this big mansion is so magnificent, the little one is afraid of going to the wrong place, if it is not Yang Ye, you will be in trouble." "The servants of the Nine Winds and Dust rushed over from Jinling, and the pockmarks on their faces were covered with dust.
It seems that he has been squatting for a long time, Gamble Jiu rubbed his neck, turned his head back, and said: "The master told me half a year ago that if he won't come, let me come to Jingshi to find you, and do a little bit of work." I went to the old shop street, and the guy over there told me to come here to find you. ”
"Jiu'er, I can't use your gambling skills."
Gambling Jiu smiled slightly and said, "Gambling in front of you, that is, playing a big knife in front of Guan Gongmen." In addition to some gambling skills, this is somewhat useful, and it is still okay to help you fight and chop wood. ”
Yang Fan is relatively modest, and the groom of the Guogong Mansion is not shy about chopping wood: "Chopping wood, there is no shortage of woodcutters in the Guogong Mansion, how much firewood can you chop in a day." Naturally, the groom didn't understand what Gamble Jiu meant by chopping wood, so he teased.
Yang Fan said: "Okay, let's go in." Tell me what's going on in Jinling. ”
Gamble Jiu took out the letter from his arms and said, "The fat master knows that I am stupid, and he knows that the master will ask." It's all written on paper so you can see it for yourself. ”
Yang Fan sat in the hall. Let Gamble Jiu also sit on the side and take a sip of the tea brewed on the table. After reading the letter written by Ma Fatzi, the business of this big business has now covered Jiangnan and Jiangxi. The silver received was also more, the circulation of red tickets was also recognized, and the Great Shanghui, as a symbol of the imperial merchants, had been based in the entire Jiangnan, and no one could shake it.
"Master, I'll tell you something. Last year, I beat an eagle, the one that was very powerful, you won't blame me. Gamble Nine said.
Yang Fan raised his eyebrows. "You did it yourself?" "That Hou Tianying is also the acquired realm, at the beginning, Chen Wangting said that it was a little tricky to deal with Hou Tianying alone, but gambling nine solved it by himself.
"I did it myself. The master taught farming, and naturally he also taught to chop wood. I was afraid that if I waited too long, the old Aquila would die, so I slaughtered it. Gambling Jiu smiled, when he placed Gambling Jiu in the manor, he told him that he had to have the ability to take revenge before going. Now it seems that the bet nine can indeed help himself.
After instructing the subordinates, prepare the guest room, and let the gambling nine take a bath.
When it was dusk. Before the meal arrived, his father-in-law hurried over again. His face was ugly again.
"You!" Xu Ji said, "Let's go to Xu's Mansion for dinner tonight." ”
"Eat? Father-in-law. Let's eat at my son-in-law's side before leaving. It's time for dinner, and my father-in-law rushed over from Beijing. It will also take a lot of time to go back to dinner. The hour was delayed. ”
Xu Ji scratched his head, seemed to be very irritable, and said, "I won't prevaricate back and forth with you." Although you are the protector of the country and the pillar of the country, you also understand that I am a straightforward person. Do you really want to go to Liaodi to be that thorn? At the beginning, the emperor was there, but now he is tied up as a loyal minister, and he wants to go? Aren't you stupid, do you still want to be used as a gunman? It's obviously a Hongmen banquet where sheep enter the tiger's mouth, and you still want to go? ”
Xu Ji pulled Yang Fan over and whispered in his ear: "Rong'er is pregnant now, if you explain to Liaodong, let Rong'er stay widowed for the rest of her life?" The nobles in the capital should be offended, basically let you offend Guangguang, and now you are sent to Liaodong, you say, do you still live a long time? Jingshi is one circle, and Liaodong is another. There is a dragon in this circle, you are the Shangzhu Kingdom, the protector of the country, and they don't dare to blatantly do something. The place in Liaodong is different. There was a pack of wolves, anxious, and no one could restrain them. ”
Yang Fan understood that Xu Ji was thinking about him, so he said: "Father-in-law, if this Hongmen banquet does not go to the appointment, and the Jiannu soldiers come to the city, what will happen when the time comes?" Do you still think that no one dares to stand up in the court that seems to be calm now, saying that I, Yang Fan, am greedy for life and afraid of death? ”
Yang Fan patted Xu Ji on the shoulder and said, "My father-in-law, you can take care of the accounts of the household department, don't take this Liaodong matter to heart, since I have the courage to go over, I am not afraid of those Jiannuer tricks." Of course, he couldn't tell Xu Ji that what he was going to do this time was more exciting than the Hongmen Banquet, that is, he was going to poke the hornet's nest.
……
……
The sunset is like a waterfall, and the tea, which has been added with a few waters, has become very light and a little bitter.
"Let's go, it's time for us to go home." Li Dao looked at the sunset in the west, and the golden sunlight sprinkled on his pitted face, a three-dimensional sense suddenly appeared. He has already unloaded his armor and returned to the field, Li Dao's retreat is undoubtedly the most secure rapid retreat, he has also been young, and he has done some unsightly things, he can wait for the official position, who has no means.
"I'm going to call a carriage." Li Yuhuan stood up and replied.
"No, not a few steps." Li Dao picked up the hat, put it on his head, and carried it with both hands. This time, it's really old. Li Dao stepped out of the inn first, felt a hint of strangeness, turned his head, and found Li Yuhuan looking at him. Under the sunset, this father and son, who have a big age difference, really looked at each other for the first time. If it was before, Li Yuhuan must have bowed his head and respectfully waited for his father to speak.
Li Dao smiled very gently, the sunset was like him, warm, Li Yuhuan felt this moment, a feeling of wanting to cry. Li Dao is like a sculpture, rendered by golden light, and his silver hair is also rendered golden.
"Not leaving? What do you see? ”
Li Yuhuan came back to his senses, didn't speak, and followed. He had never felt this way about his old father. His mother died early, and all along, he grew up under Li Dao's doting and strictness, and became a little submissive. After all, at that time, he was too bright in front of Li Yuhuan.
The peddler tore his throat, finished his last call, and began to close the stall and go home. The bird returns home, and the man goes home. Li Yuhuan gradually integrated the man's back into the traffic, and found that the back gradually became ordinary, without a trace of the majesty of Dali Temple. The setting sun retracted its last shred of mercy, and the sky turned red.
The streets began to glow with lights. The dancing candlelight makes it easy to hallucinate. (To be continued.) )
