In the teahouse, compared with the tavern, it is less noisy and more separated. People are separated by their stomachs, their faces, and their hearts, and they speak gently, but they don't say a word, "Little Er, serve the wine!" "It's a straightforward come.

The bamboo curtain is pulled down, or separated. Yang Fan sat opposite Xu Ji. He didn't care much about this before, and he was always under the glory of Xu Guangqi. Never once met him alone. Now that the girder of the Xu family has fallen on him, naturally, Yang Fan's eyes are also on this old man who is over half a hundred years old.

Xu Ji is Xu Guangqi's only son, and now he is also a household servant, and his reputation in the imperial court is not bad, but Yang Fan always feels that he still does not have Xu Guangqi's personality charm.

"Coming?"

"Yes." Yang Fan secretly said in his heart, isn't this nonsense.

"Sit down."

However, Yang Fan had already sat down.

Originally, it stands to reason that Yang Fan is the governor of Jiliao and the marquis of Ning Guo, this Xu Ji doesn't say that kneeling is so serious, so he has to get up to greet him, although Yang Fan doesn't mind, but there is always some discomfort.

If Xu Guangqi and Sun Chengzong were like this, he wouldn't be able to do it at all, however, this old man doesn't seem to have put himself in the right position.

"I'm in the court today."

"See. Originally, Yang Fan should have come to visit him, but I didn't expect that it was Uncle Xu, you came to me first, dare to ask, is it a business or a private matter today? Yang Fan looked up at Xu Ji.

Xu Ji took a sip of tea and said slowly: "There are both public and private affairs." It's still early, so let's talk slowly. Yang Fan was a little speechless, he was going to go back to Limin to see if Fu Bo and the others were okay. I didn't expect such a show.

"This morning, I also followed the advice."

"See." Yang Fan remembered everything that was not admonished. As for who admonished, Yang Fan didn't care. Twenty or thirty people, those who don't know each other, their faces have changed, and they are mixed together, so they see that Xu Ji is more familiar, so they naturally see it. He took a sip of tea slightly, "Could it be that Uncle Xu wants to persuade me?" ”

Xu Ji shook his head and said, "Your ability, the old man knew it back then. How could I not see it? It's just that you're not smart at what you're doing. Do you think that the Manchu Dynasty and the ministers have been offended all over again, and it is very majestic? At the end of the day, it's still immature. Such recklessness, how do you make me believe that you can take charge of yourself and succeed as the governor of Jiliao? ”

Yang Fan nodded yes. Xu Ji said: "You are also a talent for rejuvenating the country that my father is optimistic about, and before the old man died, he called you to his side and entrusted him with agricultural books." But you can't go any crooked ways. ”

"Uncle Xu is talking about my attachment to Mongolia?" Yang Fan also thought about this matter in advance. It is to tie the Chahar Department and himself together, so that Huang Taiji can step up his efforts to exterminate the Chahar Department. In this way, Lin Dan Batur can be forced to break the boat.

"It's good that you know it in your own heart. Who is he Lindan Batur? Seeing the money, the ungrateful man was originally in Datong, Shanxi. Nearly 10,000 civilians were killed, all of whom he did here, and you are still making deals with him. Beware of eating until you don't have even your bones left. ”

Yang Fan smiled and continued to drink tea.

Xu Ji counted a large stack of the Mongols' crimes. Anyway, I got the last word. Even when he felt that Yang Fan was not listening, he coughed a few times, changed his words, and said, "Next, let's talk about Rong'er." ”

"Yes. Uncle Xu, just say it. This should be considered a private matter, Yang Fan put down the teacup in his hand.

"You also know that Rong'er is also the age to get married."

"Clear."

"I've always loved her. I want to find her a good family and hope she is happy. Xu Ji took a sip of tea and cleared his throat.

"This, the little nephew understands."

Xu Ji raised his eyebrows, "No, you don't understand." What you have done makes me feel that you are walking a tightrope, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss and never recover. I've already found a home for her. The third son of Yu Zecheng's mansion, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, is the same age as Rong'er. ”

Yang Fan's face sank, this is to ......

"So, what do I mean...... You'd better not see each other again. ”

Yang Fan's attitude immediately dropped to the freezing point, "Lord Xu, dare to ask Rong'er if she is willing?" ”

"As his father, can't the Lord do this?" Xu Ji froze, feeling the chill in Yang Fan's words, and was also a little angry, and immediately retorted.

"Blame me for being rude, dare to ask Lord Xu, does Rong'er agree to this marriage?"

"She must agree!" Xu Ji's voice raised the tone, "The Yu family's marriage books have been exchanged, so I almost set the date, and then give a dowry and marry Rong'er." So, you'd better die of this heart. Maybe I'm a little heavi, sir, don't be surprised. ”

Yang Fan frowned, that is, there is no negotiation? He sneered, making Xu Ji feel a little hairy in his heart. The bamboo curtain was no longer separated, the man's face was torn off, and his speech was finally bright.

"I thought that Lord Xu called Ben Hou here today, because there was something important. If it's these trivial things, I'm sorry, Ben Hou still has entertainment tonight, so I won't accompany Lord Xu to drink it again. Yang Fan stood up, bowed over, deliberately pressed Xu Ji's ear, and said with a smile: "Since Lord Xu has the ability to go his own way and handle the marriage, then in the future, he will also have the ability to make this marriage unsuccessful." ”

Yang Fan lifted the curtain and strode outside.

"You!"

Xu Ji was so angry that his beard was cocked, his cuffs flicked, and his body, which had bounced up, sat down angrily, drinking stuffy tea, and just said that people were immature, and he was not angry. How can Yang Fan be stimulated so much, if he says it in a good voice, there will be no such thing.

……

Yang Fan walked out of the teahouse, his face was still ugly. He sent someone to send a letter to the Fu Bo who was in Limindang, and asked them to say goodbye, saying that they were gathering tomorrow. Then, the carriage hurried back to Honglu Temple, put on his purple gold python robe, and drove down.

happened to meet Luo Yangxing, standing by the carriage with a knife.

"Is there something wrong?"

Seeing Yang Fan's posture, Luo Yangxing asked rhetorically: "Should I ask Master Hou if you have something?" ”

"Say it quickly."

"You guessed it right, Shi Heng was humiliated by you in court and almost hanged himself at home tonight. Fortunately, we squatted early and were saved. Please go to Jinyiwei and have a few cups of tea. ”

"Where is he now?"

"I'm afraid that he will hang himself again, and he is still commanding the envoy to suppress it. Why don't you go and meet him? ”

"What did the Holy One say?"

Luo Yangxing shook his head and said, "How else can I say that he wants to insist on seeking death, and the saint can't stop him." And this time it was to save him, it doesn't mean that this old man can be saved this time. ”

Yang Fan nodded and said, "I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

"What are you going to do at such a late hour?"

"Wife-snatching!" (To be continued......)
