laughed for a while, but Yu Guozhen didn't answer, Wang Zhaolin was a little embarrassed, he now felt that this young man was not as easy to deal with as he imagined, so he could only treat each other calmly.

"Your Excellency, the student is from the Tongcheng Wang family, and he has always been good friends with the Fang family, the Ye family, and the Wu family, I don't know who your Excellency is here to visit the elders?"

"Tongcheng Fang."

"Haha, then let's just come here, I'm here with Mr. Fang Yingqian from Guilin." Wang Zhaolin suddenly became much more affectionate: "Since he is not an outsider, the students still have one thing to ask for, please ask the young brother with a high surname?" ”

"The surname is Yu, and the name is ...... Jimin. ”

"Is there a meritorious reputation?"

"No credit."

"So, have you ever been in school?" Hearing that Yu Guozhen was not famous, although Wang Zhaolin still had a smile on his face, there was some contempt in his eyes.

He consciously judged well, this young man was really from a small family, maybe there were more than ten acres of thin fields at home, barely providing food and clothing for the family.

"I didn't go to school."

"Didn't go to school?" When Wang Zhaolin heard this, he was even more determined, if there is an official eunuch in the family, even if there are a few acres of paddy fields, how can there be a reason not to send his children to study! It must be known that at this time, it is a Hui businessman, who pays attention to a poetry and book heirloom, and if he does not enter school, it means that he cannot embark on a career in office, and he will be a flat-headed ordinary person all his life!

He looked Qi Niu up and down, secretly feeling a pity in his heart, and at the same time had an idea that he might be able to take this servant himself.

"Brother Jimin, your servant is born majestic and majestic, like a door god, I don't hide it, I want to go to Fang's house to ask for relatives, I have asked Mr. Ying Qian to be an iceman, I intend to use this servant for Your Excellency, and please Brother Jimin Don't be stingy, haha, after the matter is completed, I must invite Brother Jimin to a glass of wine."

Thinking of this, he was very affectionate, as if he had a deep friendship with Yu Guozhen, Yu Guozhen looked at him and smiled slightly: "I see." ”

This person is a typical scholar at this time, duplicitous and pretentious, and from him, Yu Guozhen also saw the arrogance of the gentry in Jiangsu, Anhui and northern Zhejiang at this time. Yu Guozhen pondered for a while, although the Fang family is a family of articles, but it is also uneven, like Fang Yingqian, who is good friends with Wang Zhaolin, Yu Guozhen heard Fang Yizhi mention it slightly, although Fang Yizhi praised him for his extraordinary knowledge, but he avoided talking about his private morality.

And Yu Guozhen has made friends with the Fang family, how can he not investigate the main figures of the Fang family, and the news he got that Fang Yingqian has a lot of behavior of robbing men and women and arsoning with servants and bullying others.

Even Fang Yizhi himself also took Hao slaves to run rampant in the city and countryside, and in Tongcheng and even the entire lower reaches of the Yangtze River, this has almost become the norm.

Of course, Yu Guozhen himself has lawlessness, but Yu Guozhen asked himself that at this time, it is completely impossible to achieve his goal through means that are in line with the legal system at this time.

It was the result of Emperor Chongzhen's diligence, and in the end it was the result of hanging on the pine trees in the coal mountain.

"Brother Jimin, this is just a matter of a gesture in Brother Tai, my Wang family operates silk in Jinling, if you get Brother Tai to help, Wang will be very grateful!" Wang Zhaolin looked at Yu Guozhen, and then spoke again.

In his opinion, Yu Guozhen, whether he is dressed or entourage, can only be regarded as a barely middle-class family, and there is no way to compare with him, a rich man in Tongcheng, and he promised to thank him, Yu Guozhen should of course agree.

"I don't know which room of the Fang family Mr. Wang is asking for?" Yu Guozhen did not respond in a hurry, but asked with a smile.

"It's to ask Mr. In-sik for this house."

Yu Guozhen's heart turned, Renzhi is the number of Fang Kongzhi, and there are almost no girls of the right age on Fang Kongzhi's side, the only possibility is Fang Ziyi.

The main purpose of his visit this time was to visit Fang Kongzhi and discuss the resumption of the society with Fang Yizhi. Yu Guozhen needs to use the power of the Restoration Society above public opinion to promote some of his truths. However, he also wanted to have more contact with Fang Ziyi, this girl and he met him before Liu Ruyi, and he was deeply impressed at that time, and the continuous correspondence since then made him feel quite familiar with each other.

The person in front of him actually wanted to ask Fang Ziyi for marriage!

And the one who came forward to call the shots was Fang Yingqian, the most disputable member of the Tongcheng Fang clan.

Yu Guozhen sneered in his heart: "It's not that I'm stingy, my servant is the most clumsy, and I can't speak, I'm afraid that I will miss Wang Gongzi's good deeds." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, he's just acting as a façade for me, and he's not a matchmaker, what do you want to do if you know how to talk!" Wang Zhaolin saw that his mouth was loose and said with great joy.

Yu Guozhen said to Qi Niu: "In this case, Lao Niu, you can accompany this Mr. Wang for the time being, and I will come later." ”

"Little official!" Although Qi Niu's reaction was not very fast, he suddenly shouted reluctantly.

"Go, go, don't talk nonsense, I'll be there later." Yu Guozhen smiled.

Qi Niu looked at Wang Zhaolin angrily, Wang Zhaolin felt a little strange in his heart, there was nothing special about this young man, but why was this tall and imposing servant so loyal?

"The petty officials are really not kind." After Wang Zhaolin and the others left, Shi Jingyan laughed.

"Shi Weng why did he say this."

"Haha." Shi Jingyan smiled, but didn't say anything more.

Yu Guozhen turned his gaze, but saw the man who was called Huang Wending by Wang Zhaolin's housekeeper, ripped his clothes, exposed his whipped back, hissed and sang out of tune, and slowly walked away. Yu Guozhen frowned slightly, Wang Zhaolin's words that wanted to motivate Qi Niu were listened to by this man.

They hired a porter at the docks, picked up the bags left by Qi Niu with their burdens, and then slowly walked towards Fang Yizhi's villa.

The place where Fang Yizhi lives is to turn over the floating mountain, which is located under the two rocks of Danqiu and Heili at the western foothills. This was built by Fang Yizhi's grandfather Fang Dazhen, and later Fang Dazhen gave it to Fang Yizhi's father, Fang Kongzhi, and after Fang Yizhi got married, Fang Kongzhi gave it to Fang Yizhi. Fang Ziyi liked that it was quiet and far away from the hustle and bustle of the family in the city, so he lived here with his brother, and Fang Kongzhi himself occasionally lived here for a while.

A family like the Fang family has villa villas all over Tongcheng, and the Bailu Villa where Fang Kongzhi lives is even more large-scale, with mountains, land, rivers and lakes, which is much larger than Yu Guozhen's fine willow courtyard. Even Fang Yizhi's residence in Lushanzhuang is far bigger than the Xiliu Courtyard, and Yu Guozhen is envious every time he comes here.

When they arrived, Wang Zhaolin and Qi Niu were waiting in front of the courtyard gate, Qi Niu kept looking at Yu Guozhen, while Wang Zhaolin just bowed his hand from afar.

"Brother Jimin and I are waiting here for a while, the porter has already gone to Tongyu, presumably there will be no more than one person, someone will come out to greet him."

Hearing Wang Zhaolin's words, Yu Guozhen smiled and did not answer. What Wang Zhaolin didn't like the most was his expression, because he couldn't judge whether Yu Guozhen was disdainful or shy.

The servant standing in front of the village knew Yu Guozhen, and when he saw Yu Guozhen coming, he immediately greeted him: "It turned out to be Young Master Yu." ”

This attitude made Wang Zhaolin slightly stunned, and then, he was surprised to see that Yu Guozhen led Shi Jingyan and the porter and walked straight in, and the servant in the porter didn't stop him at all!

"This ...... Why is that? Wang Zhaolin felt a buzz in his head, he seemed to have made some mistake, and without waiting for him to speak, the housekeeper who followed him grabbed the doorman who wanted to guide Yu Guozhen diligently: "Why can't my son-in-law enter, but he can?" ”

"You said Yu Gongzi? He is a close friend of my eldest son and uncle, and a good friend who has entered the house, and if I stop him at the door, I will have to take a beating. The porter sneered and said: "He can naturally enter, don't say that this is the study of my eldest son, he can enter!" ”

"Ahem, I and Yu Gongzi are also close friends at first sight, I don't know if I can go in?" Wang Zhaolin panicked in his heart, and the vague uneasiness made him can't wait to go in and meet the master of the Fang family.

"If it's a close friend, Yu Gongzi will naturally speak, if it's just a nodding friend, hahahaha......" The doorman smiled a little contemptuously.

Wang Zhaolin snorted in his heart, how could he not hear the mockery in the words of the porter servant, but he was scheming and knew that this was not the season to attack. He was extremely curious about Yu Guozhen, and tried Qi Niu's style many times along the way, but Qi Niu was a stuffy gourd, no matter what he said, he didn't respond, which made him feel a little depressed.

By this time, he vaguely felt that he had been tricked.

After a while, a steward came in a hurry, and when he saw him, he arched his hand: "Your Excellency is Wang Zhaolin Wang Gongzi?" ”

"Exactly."

"My master invites you in."

The one who came out to greet him was just a steward, Fang Yizhi himself did not come in person, Wang Zhaolin settled down, thinking of the heavy gift he had given to Fang Yingqian, so he asked again: "Mr. Yingqian is here?" ”

"Uncle is in the back hall, talking to the old master." The way of the steward.

Hearing that Fang Yingqian was there, Wang Zhaolin felt a little confident in his heart, the Fang family is also a big family in Tongcheng, and the Fang family has always been strict in selecting sons-in-law, perhaps, this is a test for the Fang family to give themselves.

He followed the steward through a heavy courtyard, and then entered the main hall of the Fang family in Luzhuang, and only when he entered the door did he hear the sound of laughter inside, and then he saw Yu Guozhen and two other people standing in front of the porch.

He hurriedly took two steps forward and slammed to the ground: "Student Tongcheng Wang Zhaolin, meet Brother Mi." ”

Fang Yizhi smiled and waved at him, while another boy beside Fang Yizhi who looked similar to him but was much younger, at most thirteen or fourteen years old, snorted.

"Brother Wang, please be polite...... Hey, isn't this Lao Niu, today you are also here with Brother Guozhenxian? ”

It turned out that Qi Niu also followed into the courtyard gate, Fang Yizhi recognized him, and he was very familiar with him, he also once beat Qi Niu's idea, and wanted Yu Guozhen to give Qi Niu to him, but Yu Guozhen refused, and Qi Niu himself shouted that he refused to live or die.

Qi Niu tucked his abdomen and straightened his chest, and gave Fang Yizhi a salute suddenly, this is Yu Guozhen's guard holding his fist, he is extremely standard, this action is done neatly, Fang Yizhi hasn't said anything yet, but the thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy next to him is eyes lit up.
