Chapter 414 People have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries
I heard that it was a guest brought back by Shao Fang personally, and the person who had just scolded him immediately smeared oil on the soles of his feet. As for the others, some of them looked at the guests, and some of them came forward to talk to them and wanted to find out the origin, just when Shao Fang's front foot had just crossed the threshold, he heard someone shouting among the idlers behind him.
"I remembered, that middle-aged man turned out to be Xinchang Lu Gongzi, I saw it in Changzhou Mansion before!"
"Xinchang Lu Gongzi? Is it Mr. Xu Wenchang who wrote him a lot of poems back then? ”
"That's right, it's the Lu Gongzi who Hu Butang praised the warriors of the world back then!"
"This is really amazing, Danyang Shao Daxia vs. Xinchang Lu Gongzi, I don't know who loses and who wins if they fight...... Not! ”
The last person to comment on it covered his mouth suddenly, until he found that Shao Fang had entered the door with the guest without looking back, and he couldn't see it for a while, and the others outside were talking excitedly. As a result, this freshly baked news spread everywhere in a moment, and I don't know how many people hope that these two people who are extremely famous in the southeast can fight. It's just that more people are just gossiping and speculating, after all, the identities of Shao Fang and Lu Guangwu are there, even if there is a fight, how can ordinary people have the honor to watch?
However, because Xiaobei heard everyone's discussions, after entering the guest house and settling down, she quietly asked Lu Guangwu with great interest: "Uncle Lu, if you really compete with Shao Fang, who will win?" ”
"You girl!" Lu Guangwu couldn't help but laugh, "Who do you think will win?" ”
"Uncle Lu, of course." Xiaobei replied without thinking about it, and said with a fluttering eyebrow. "At that time, I will be able to speak for my father!"
"I think you want me to take Fu Lin out of a bad breath of being held hostage, right?" Lu Guangwu couldn't help but wonder. Seeing that Wang Fulin did not have the slightest self-consciousness of being teased. Take a look here and there in the room, and Xiaobei was choked dumb by himself, he couldn't help but feel more interesting, but he looked at Wang Fulin and said, "What about you, Fulin, do you want me to fight with Shao Fang?" ”
"Then it has to be done if people are happy, Uncle Lu, you are not here to kick the gym!" Wang Fulin came up with a new term. Then he knocked on a large vase with his hand, and said in response, "In other words, this courtyard should have been arranged by the Shao family for guests." It's not that I live in the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and there will be no brass in the room to listen, and all our conversations will be heard, right? ”
"What?"
Xiaobei jumped up from the chair at once, and immediately knocked everywhere as if he was facing a great enemy. And Lu Guangwu saw Wang Fulin throw such a question, so he came over and sat down by himself, he didn't know that Wang Fulin was teasing, and he couldn't help but sigh leisurely for a while: "Hu Gong was not perfect at the beginning. Although the war is decisive, it is convenient to resist the Japanese. There was a lot of military spending from the local gentry, and most of them were sent to the capital to honor the Yan family and his son, and he also kept a small half. But he is not old-fashioned, open-minded and bright, if he saw you before his death, he would definitely feel that he had a good spleen! ”
"It's a pity that it's a matter of fate." After all, when I was a child, I saw that time and didn't count.
Wang Fulin shrugged his shoulders with some regret, and when he saw that Xiaobei was still checking around, he whispered, "The result of the competition that Uncle Lu asked about just now, I am the same as Xiaobei, of course I bet on you to win." The reason is very simple, Uncle Lu is dedicated to studying civil and martial arts, and he has no distractions, and after coming out of Xinchang last year, when he visited talented people, he should have done a lot of work with people. And Shao Fang's utilitarian mind is too heavy, and the martial arts should be too relaxed, otherwise it would not be Uncle Lu, as soon as you show up in that black shop, his two companions can't wait to put a knife on my neck, for fear that you will rob people with the power of a pair of four to win a complete victory. ”
Everyone loves to listen to good words, especially the compliments of younger generations, and Lu Guangwu is naturally no exception, and he grinned for a while. Seeing that Xiaobei had checked everything, he came over to Wang Fulin to settle the account with him, and he had no choice but to say yes, and then stood up and said: "Being a guest at the Shao family, of course you can't just stay in this guest house." How about going out for a walk? The Shao family can't move around casually, if Shao Fang doesn't see anyone, we'll go to Danyang City for a walk! ”
"Good!" Xiaobei agreed immediately without saying a word, and then looked at Wang Fulin as if demonstratively and said, "Just find a secluded place and let Uncle Lu instruct someone in martial arts!" ”
Wang Fulin was afraid of such a small teasing, and immediately said with a smile: "It seems a little too reluctant for me to let Uncle Lu guide me alone, so it's only fair to add another you." ”
"Hmph, you know the scoundrel!"
Although Shao Fang didn't set up any brass to listen to this kind of thing in the guest house, after all, once it was discovered, it would become a big scandal, but of course he would not forget to order people to closely monitor all movements in the guest house. Therefore, when he learned that Lu Guangwu took Wang Fulin and Xiaobei out, and heard that he couldn't meet guests for the time being, he went out to Danyang City first, Shao Fang hugged his three-year-old son Shao Yi on his knees, and couldn't help frowning. When he came back to his senses, he asked the maid Fuyun standing in front of him, "After I leave, can my uncle come?" ”
"Uncle has been here no less than ten times." Fu Yun hurriedly replied respectfully, "Every time he comes, he will ask when the master will come back, and he will play with the young master for a while." If it weren't for the master's orders, he would still plan to take the young master to live in Wujin for a while. ”
Shao Fang saw his only son babbling and grabbing his hair to call Daddy, and couldn't help pinching his pink cheeks, but he didn't want to listen to his incomplete sentences, but asked again: "Has my uncle ever said that this year's scientific expedition is ready?" He is not young, if he is ranked second in the scientific examination, he will be able to take the township examination next year. When the time comes, I asked people to inquire about who is the main examiner in Jingshi, and he has a great hope of being promoted in the examination. ”
Fu Yun is the maidservant daughter of the Shaw family, Shao Yi lost her mother not long after she landed, and it was she and the nurse who raised the child together. Shao Fang was worried that the child would follow the nurse all the time and would be made by the wife when she turned around, so she sent out the nurse after weaning, and only let Fuyun, who gave birth to the child, take the child. At this moment, when she heard Shao Fang's explicit statement, she only felt that it was her father-in-law who cared about her son-in-law and was accustomed to it.
But thinking about the signs that Shen Yingkui showed when she came several times, she hesitated for a moment and said truthfully: "Master." It's not that I'm talkative. My uncle didn't seem to want to go on a scientific expedition. What else do you say that the talent in the examination was the ancestor of the accumulation of virtue...... I followed my master's instructions and gave him the collected collections of current writings, and my uncle flipped through them and threw them aside with great disinterest. ”
Although he knew that his son-in-law was this kind of character, even many well-off scholars in the southeast were like this, after taking the Xiucai exam, he knew that it was difficult to break through in the thousands of troops, so he enjoyed the privilege of being exempt from servitude while enjoying the privilege of being exempt from servitude. But Shao Fang had high hopes for Shen Yingkui after all, and couldn't help but be a little angry at this moment. He was about to get angry, but he didn't want his youngest son Shao Yi to suddenly press his fleshy little hand on his mouth, shouting: "Daddy is not angry, brother-in-law is a good person!" ”
Hearing the little guy's words at first glance, Shao Fang's previous pent-up annoyance and hatred along the way all disappeared. He didn't have a son until he was in his early forties, so he naturally cherished his heirs more than ordinary men, and at this moment, he handed over his son to Fuyun to hold, and he said: "Next time, you teach Da Lang some words, let him go and say it to his uncle." Maybe he heard his brother-in-law expecting this. Will change his mind. ”
Otherwise, he will have no successor, and ten or twenty years later, when his son needs support. Who else can you rely on?
Fu Yun hurriedly agreed. Seeing that Shao Fang had nothing else to say, she took the child and withdrew. However, Shao Yi was obviously reluctant to leave like this, waving his hands indiscriminately and shouting: "Daddy, I want Daddy!" ”
Although Shao Fang values her son, she understands that she doesn't have the capital to be warm, so she ruthlessly snorted at Fu Yun, and waited until she couldn't bear to take away Shao Yi, who was crying, he rubbed his eyebrows and called the housekeeper in. Being able to take care of his son as soon as he enters the house is already his father's indulgence to the maximum. Sure enough, after the housekeeper entered the door and saluted, he lowered his voice and said several groups of people in the capital, and finally said: "Huguang Lei served the emperor to sue the master, and the old man of the high pavilion ordered someone to send a message, so that the master can only rest assured, and there is no need to worry about it." ”
Hearing the words "worrying indiscriminately", Shao Fangdeng almost got up in anger. However, he did not lose his temper in the end, but carefully asked how many people came to carry the letter, what kind of attire, but there are names and surnames, and after these questions, he suppressed his stomach full of anger, and asked the origin of several other groups of messengers, and learned that among them was the godson of the eunuch Meng Chong, who was the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, saying that he had fallen off the plate on the way down to Jiangnan on a business trip to fight the autumn wind, and he couldn't help but scolded his mother angrily.
It is no wonder that although Meng Chong was favored by Emperor Longqing, in the final analysis, he was just a eunuch of Shangshan, Gao Gong recommended Meng Chong because he looked down on Feng Bao, the commander of Dongchang and the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, who was born in the inner study hall, and was afraid that he would be good friends with Zhang Juzheng, for fear that he would become the palm seal of the master of ceremonies. Others don't know, he has dealt with Meng Chong for a long time, he is vulgar and unliterate, vicious and greedy, can this kind of person fight Feng Bao? ”
While secretly harboring fire, Shao Fang gritted his teeth and asked, "How much did you send him?" ”
"That little father-in-law is holding the waist card of Father-in-law Meng." The housekeeper deliberately explained more, for fear that Shao Fang would think that someone was swaggering and cheating, so he smiled bitterly, "He asked for a thousand taels when he opened his mouth, or I finally sent it away with eight hundred taels on the grounds that the master was not there." ”
It didn't matter how much money Shao Fang spent, but when he thought that Gao Gong thought he was worrying indiscriminately, and Meng Chong's godson was so greedy for money, this combination of external and internal ministers made him feel deeply worried. However, there were mistakes in Huguang and Huizhou one after another, and Lu Guangwu and Wang Fulin all arrived in Danyang, he didn't want to do anything for the time being, so he waved his hand to let the housekeeper retreat. It wasn't until he was alone in the empty room that he let out a long breath of depression on his chest.
Maybe it was too smooth sailing before, so that from the end of last year to this year, the year was unfavorable and encountered obstacles again and again? Even so, he was not willing to give up easily. He wanted to bring Wang Fulin to Danyang before, and he didn't think about hurting his life, but now that Lu Guangwu is with him, he is far from being helpless.
Thinking of this, he immediately raised his voice and shouted: "Come on, go and call Ah Wang and Ah Cai!" ”
Let them stare at Wang Fulin's three first!
