Chapter 103: Discredited, famous
After a few days, whether it was the court officials and nobles at the top, or those middle-class families who studied and did business, or the peddlers and pawns at the bottom, they were all overwhelmed by one thing after another. It's just that the people care about those turmoil, but the officialdom is different.
For Ye Guang, the commander of the Jinyi Weibei Town, who was in charge of the Fusi, suddenly came to Nanjing to handle the case, from the bigwigs of the Sixth Department of Nanjing to the officials of the Daoyan Department, they were all very dissatisfied, plus Zhao Qinping said that he was very popular and generous, and it was not that no one thought of saying a few words for him. However, when the priest of the Nanjing Guozi Jiu Zhangmao publicly said at a literary meeting of the four gentlemen of the Southern Capital that he had misjudged Zhao Qin and regretted that he should not have impeached such a Sven scum earlier, Qingliu was silent for a while, and even the later people who were often in the same breath as Zhao Qin kept silent.
Compared with other people's affairs, Zhang Mao really hated himself for being blind at the beginning, and actually felt that Zhao Qin was consistent in his words and deeds, and he was a person who could be friends. Because this turmoil also affected the country, he closed the door and reorganized it for three days, and it was easy to steal a leisure, but unexpectedly, a prisoner suddenly staggered in, fell to the ground and kowtowed. Surprised, he asked, almost being angry at what this person said.
The so-called Fu Heng'an's cheating was actually a gift from a Qing guest of the Zhao family with a hundred taels of silver, so this was raised!
Zhang Mao never expected that he had been teaching for decades, and he had always only seen poor students with high character, but he was stunned by others. This time, he didn't dare to believe it, so he immediately changed his official uniform and went straight to Nanjing Jinyiwei to see Ye Guang. Going around and around, I saw that the Zhao family Qingke who was also in prison because of the incident questioned him fiercely, and the man was afraid that he would carry the black pot, so he immediately sold Zhao Qin backhandedly. After Mr. Zhang, who was full of chagrin and remorse, got out of prison, he was talking to everyone like this.
"The old man has been treating people with sincerity all his life, but he was fooled by such a Sven scum!"
With Zhang Mao's prestige in Shilin, such a strange story spread in an instant, plus Zhang Mao could also put it down, he actually went to the town guard eunuch's mansion in person, he didn't see Fu Rong, just called Fu Hengan to come out to meet, and made amends in shock, which made Shilin even more shocked for a while, and Zhao Qin's crime had to add another stroke.
This is just a little more than a little talk to others, but as one of the parties involved, Fu Rong's feelings are naturally different. When Xu Xun came to the door, he immediately ordered the kitchen to set up a sumptuous banquet in the water pavilion in the garden, and he actually took Xu Xun around in his huge back garden, and after he sat down, he personally held the pot and poured a cup for Xu Xun.
"Father-in-law, how dare you do this!"
"Afford it!" People are in good spirits on happy occasions, Fu Rong is full of spring breeze, and he picked up the full glass of wine with both hands and stuffed it into Xu Xun's hand, he raised the cup in front of him, and smiled happily after drinking it, "This first cup is our family's bold plan to respect you!" If Ye Guang didn't bring people down from the capital, our family wouldn't be able to see the clouds; But if you don't have the audacity to make a fuss, and if you don't have your attention to Heng'an, when will Zhang Mao be too soft to others! With this article alone, Hengan will be able to stand up and be a man from now on! Don't say that the prisoner who cried and told the truth in front of Zhang Mao has nothing to do with you, our family won't fool you! ”
"Father-in-law Fu thinks highly of me, Guozijian made such a scene before, plus Zhao Qin's case was in an uproar, the prisoner did something wrong, and was said by others intentionally or unintentionally all day long, where can he still hold on? As for the Qingke of the Zhao Mansion, he just received Zhao Qin's curtain money, and it was unlucky enough to accompany him to the prison at this time, so if he still had to carry such a black pot for others, he naturally had to confide the truth to that big Si Chengyuan. ”
"Good boy, good boy!"
Fu Rong has rarely had such a hearty time in his life, but he couldn't even find other words at this time, and after saying it twice in a row, he once again filled the pot for Xu Xun. Without waiting for Xu Xun to push back, he couldn't help but hold down the other party's hand.
"This second cup, our family respects you and does what you say! Chen Lu said, Ye Guangyan recruited you, but you didn't agree? ”
"Ah, how does Lord Chen know......" Xu Xun blurted out, seeing Fu Rong looking at him with a smile, and gestured to the wine glass in front of him, he raised his glass and drank it first, and then said helplessly, "Father-in-law Mingjian, I am naturally tempted by the name of Beizhen Fusi, but how old am I now, and I am not from a military family, which of those captains can serve me?" People are self-aware, and my little cleverness is also thanks to my father-in-law's willingness to believe in me and use me, but Lord Ye is just hearsay, if he really uses me, he may regret it, and I will not be even more embarrassed at that time? ”
Fu Rong saw that Xu Xun did not take the opportunity to show his loyalty to him, but the smile on his face deepened, and his eyes almost narrowed into a slit. He has seen a lot of people with honey and swords, but self-aware people have always been rare, after all, people can see others clearly in the world, but it is the most difficult to see themselves clearly. So, after nodding, he put away his smile and leaned back on the wicker chair.
"Good, you're good. Let's tell you the truth, I think when our family was under house arrest by that Fei Kai in the house, I heard that Zhang Mao, the eunuch of the country, was going to be a moth again, and I hated you the most. You must know that if it wasn't for your big words, our family would have taken Hengan back a long time ago! Now that time has passed, seeing that our son is not only cheerful, but also no longer the taciturn appearance in front of our family, I am very happy, indescribably happy! No matter how prominent I am now, I will be a pile of loess as soon as I let go, so he is the most reassuring. He can be sensible, and I am even happier than the palm seal of the celebrant who was immediately promoted! ”
Fu Rong can only call himself me to his family, and now he can't help but change his name when he is talking about it, and even some incoherent, Xu Xun can't hear it. So, he hurriedly drank the glass of wine in front of him, snatched the wine jug and poured a glass for Fu Rongman, and held it with both hands, then smiled: "In fact, Fu Gongzi is just too pure in heart, and there is always a little inferiority, but now his heart is the same as before, but he is much more confident, and he will definitely be able to support the Fu family in the future!" ”
"Well said!"
After Fu Rong took Xu Xun's wine, he saw that he poured himself a full drink, and he had to tilt his neck and drink it dry. After three cups in a row, sweat gradually appeared on his forehead, and he was about to get down to business after a few laughs, but he saw a little eunuch guarding outside quickly coming in and kowtowing: "Master, the eldest young master and the eldest lady are here!" ”
"Hengan is actually back?"
Fu Rong was stunned and turned his head, and when he saw Fu Hengan and Fu Jin entering the water pavilion one after the other, he immediately smiled. Xu Xun hurriedly got up, and when the brother and sister stepped forward, he was about to meet, but they might as well give him a deep salute at the same time. Stunned, he quickly reached out to help, and returned the courtesy.
"Brother Xu, listening to your words is better than reading for ten years, so I heard Fang Mo say that you are coming today, so I specially asked Da Sicheng for leave to rush back."
Xu Xun unexpectedly thought that Fu Hengan had rushed back specifically to see him, and he was stunned. Fu Jin on the side interjected with a smile: "I not only thank Gongzi Xu today, but also apologize to you." My eldest brother is a nerd, and he doesn't think it's embarrassing to say it, so he honestly told Mr. Zhang what happened. What did he say that he almost wanted to commit suicide for fear of embarrassment, but he was slapped by Xu Gongzi and taught him a hard lesson, and then Xu Gongzi stole into the Guozijian several times and talked to him, if it weren't for the old gentleman who was not so stubborn now, just Xu Gongzi sneaked into the Guozijian, big brother, you would make trouble for others! ”
Fu Hengan disagreed: "Even if there are some violations of the rules, but they are all frank and unscrupulous, Da Sicheng is not a person who sticks to the rules, not only is he not to blame, but he is also very interested, saying that he is here to meet Brother Xu!" ”
God, this Fu Hengan is too honest, right, he actually told Zhang Mao all those things?
At this moment, Xu Xun was only glad that he had not revealed his bold plans to Fu Hengan when he stole into the Guozijian a few times later, otherwise with the virtue of this nerd, he might have sold himself instead. And Fu Rong couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw Xu Xun's expression, and after a long time, he ordered two pairs of dishes and chopsticks to be added for a pair of children to accompany him. It's just that Fu Jin is a woman after all, and after sitting for a while, she retired with a smile, and looked at Xu Xun with interest for a while before leaving.
After all, Fu Hengan has been a stuffy gourd surname for many years, but now he talks a lot but is limited, and most of the time it is Xu Xun who is talking. Because of this Fu Gongzi, he naturally didn't dare to say anything serious, and only picked up some gossip such as interesting things there to talk about, until a little eunuch came in and laughed and said that Mrs. was thinking about the eldest young master's return, Fu Hengan got up and said goodbye, and when he left, he pulled Xu Xun and asked him to try his studies to make a name, which made Xu Xun extremely embarrassed for a while.
"Hengan is this surname, you don't say those words when he is! It's all because of our family's spoilage, thinking that other eunuchs are all three or four adopted sons under his knees, but later he made a lot of trouble for the family business, so he only focused on raising him and Jin'er. Fu Rong was also made crying and laughing by his adopted son, and explained with a smile, he suddenly said casually, "Xu Xun, you have met our daughter a few times, what do you think of her?" ”
Fu Rong suddenly mentioned his adopted daughter Fu Jin, Xu Xun was suddenly a little caught off guard, but he still tried his best to say in the most natural tone: "Miss Fu? Miss Fu is the pearl of her father-in-law's palm, naturally smart, smart, generous and decent......"
"Hahaha, you're going to pick up nice ones! Only the girl is not left, my fair lady, the gentleman is good, and I don't know who will be lucky enough to marry her in the future. ”
If it was just a bad premonition just now, then Xu Xun was really a little like sitting on pins and needles at this time. Just as he was thinking about whether to tactfully pass this way, or whether Suo took out his marriage contract with Shen Yue to block it, a voice like fairy music came from outside for him at this time.
"Father-in-law, someone in the Xu family is rumoring outside that something has happened at home, please go back quickly!"
