Chapter 262: Visit to Dong's Mansion (Part II)
The doors of the Dong Mansion were quickly opened, and there were still two of them. The middle-aged man was a little flattered, but he didn't expect the people of the Dong Mansion to value him so much that he actually opened two doors. In the past, it was polite to meet. If the low status wants to see the high status, then the post will be delivered. As for the opening of the door, there is also a doorway. If the other party feels that you are not an important person, then open a single door, or open a crack in the door and let you in. If it's important, the guest comes to the door, as it is now, and both doors are open.
After the old housekeeper of the Dong Mansion came out, there was still a person behind him. The middle-aged man was even more surprised. This...... This is not Dong Lao. The middle-aged man immediately felt an incomparable sense of pride. Dong Lao, Dong Lao actually came out to meet me in person. What a glorious thing it is.
Dong Qichang walked out slowly.
The middle-aged man arched his hand and smiled: "How can Xiaosheng be virtuous, let Dong Lao personally meet him, I really can't afford it." He stepped forward, however, when he met Dong Qichang, perhaps because the old housekeeper and Dong Qichang were a little behind their ears, they didn't listen to what he said in front of him, or they both paid attention to Yang Fan and passed by him.
The middle-aged man who had become a small man was petrified in an instant, Dong Lao, he ...... Don't you see me? Dong Qichang walked past the middle-aged man and arched his hand: "Yang Xiaoyou's visit, there is a loss of welcome, there is a loss of welcome!" ”
Yang Fan returned the salute and said, "I'm really embarrassed to bother Dong Lao to greet him personally." ”
"Where, Yang Xiaoyou, please inside."
"Old Dong, I'm ......," the middle-aged man behind him said with some embarrassment. Dong Qichang turned his head, only to remember that there was still someone to meet, so he smiled and said, "You are Huang Boren's...... ......"
"Oh, it's Huang Shilang's distant cousin's nephew, Huang Taoze." He hastened to make his identity clear. Dong Qichang smiled: "I'm really embarrassed." You may not be able to come until tomorrow, and you have something to do today, so I'm sorry. ”
"Huh?" Huang Taoze's eyes were about to fall to the ground, so he could only sneer: "That...... That little student will come to visit Dong Lao tomorrow. He mentioned the meeting gift on the side and said, "These are a little meaning of Xiaosheng, and please accept Dong Lao with a smile." ”
"Oh. This...... Lao Fu, keep it. Then he walked towards the mansion with Yang Fan. Huang Taoze leaned closer and asked, "Butler, who is this young man?" Why does Dong Laodu attach so much importance to it? ”
"He...... Linghe Bo Yang Fan, haven't you heard of the Qinyuan Spring that spreads all over the north and south of the river? I've heard of it. He took the gift box from the man's hand and almost flashed his old waist, "Scared." What's the stuff here, dead and dead? ”
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "This is some local products brought by my hometown, the taste is very good, sweet and fruitful, I want to taste it for Dong Lao." The old housekeeper frowned, picked it up with some difficulty, turned around, and went to the underworld while walking, asking the official to pick the door like this, he deserved to be poor for a lifetime!
……
……
"I should have come to visit Dong Lao a long time ago. At the beginning, Dong Lao gave food. I haven't made a special trip to thank you, this time to visit, the time is in a hurry, and there is no special gift, I hope you will forgive me. ”
Dong Qichang said with a smile: "As soon as Yang Xiaoyou arrived in Jinling, he came to visit someone Dong, which already gave someone Dong a lot of face, so don't be rude." Yang Xiaoyou's Jingshi matter, Dong someone also heard about it, and he was a little embarrassed. ”
"There's nothing to be ashamed of. I was tired of staying in the next place, so I came to Jinling to relax. ”
Dong Qichang smiled and said, "It's also great that Yang Xiaoyou can think like this. He glanced at Yang Fan. When I helped Yang Fan at the beginning, I did have some unintentional intention of inserting willows. And this time, Yang Fan lost power, but Dong Qichang had his own opinions. If Yang Fan really fell out of favor, then Zhu Youzhen would never allow a person who had mastered so many secrets, or even a rich granary, to let him go out of the capital wantonly. I think it's just to ease the situation, so that the antagonistic contradictions between the important ministers of the DPRK and Yang Fan will not break out too quickly.
"I don't know what the lord plans to do when he comes to Jinling?"
Yang Fan took a sip of tea and said, "Actually, this visit to Dong Lao is a reluctant invitation. So I also ask Dong Lao to help. ”
"Oh? Although Yang Xiaoyou said that if the old man can help, he will try his best to help. ”
"I heard that Dong Lao has a Zhonglou in Jinling City, which is specially used for book collection and meeting friends, I wonder if there is such a thing?" Yang Fan asked. He had already inquired about it, although it was not to the point where every inch of land was expensive, it was also very expensive. It's not that Yang Fan doesn't have money, but he wants to buy it right. To build a academy in a poor ditch and then to make a name for yourself, I really don't have that kind of effort.
"Hehe, it turns out that Yang Xiaoyou really has the idea of going down this study building." Dong Qichang smiled and said, "I don't know what is the use of Xiaoyou coming to Zhonglou?" He asked, brushing his beard.
Yang Fan said: "I can't hide it, I want to set up a academy below." After thinking about it, it is better to settle in Jinling City, but there is no good place, so I came to ask Dong Lao to cut his love and cede the study building to Zaixia. ”
"Running a college?" Dong Qichang was a little puzzled, and then muttered: "There are pavilions and pavilions after coming to Zhonglou, and that hill is used as a support, it is indeed feasible to set up a academy." It's just that the old man wants to ask Yang Xiaoyou, this academy is not like your character. ”
Yang Fan smiled and said, "These Dong elders don't have to worry, they naturally have plans in the future, and they have already invited a famous Confucian to sit in the academy, just wait for Dong Lao, your study building." In terms of price, Dong Lao said yes. ”
Dong Qichang stopped and said, "It's tacky to talk about money." The old age is old, and now he is retired, and he will return to Songjiang for retirement within this year. This Shangshu Mansion should also be let out, as for this Zhonglou, one can't find an object that can be trusted, originally wanted to let the juniors in the family come over and take over, and wait all year round. Now that Yang Xiaoyou wants to build a academy, it is really a good thing, such a good thing, how can the old man still need money? ”
"What does Dong Lao mean ......"
"It's for Yang Xiaoyou."
Yang Fan was a little surprised, so he got up and said, "How embarrassing is this." is to run a academy in the future, how can you make Dong Lao pay. This study building must not let Dong Laobai come out. ”
Dong Qichang stopped and said: "In this building, if Yang Xiaoyou wants to give one or two silver, the old man will not sell it." Since Yang Xiaoyou said that he couldn't harvest it in vain, the old man also had a shy old face, and asked a few juniors in the clan to come to you to study and study when the academy was set up. Yang Xiaoyou, how is this? ”
Since Dong Qichang gave a big face, Yang Fan would not refuse such a request, so he agreed: "Then thank you Dong Lao." When the time comes, the name of the academy must be inscribed by you yourself. ”
"Haha, good! Good! (To be continued.) )
