Chapter 137: Forgiveness
When he entered the study and saw He Fangzhen who was sitting in the circle chair, Wu Fanhui was instantly shocked. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
However, more than a year later, when he saw this old man more than a year ago, although he was a crane with a childish face, he was in good spirits and spoke loudly, but now he was showing his old age.
Ma Jigang and Wang Baofu were in the hall, and He Yixuan personally accompanied him, such a face was enough, Wu Fanhui also understood what it was to come to He's house today, but he didn't expect that He Fangzhen would become like this.
"Qian Jue greets Patriarch He."
"Qian Jue, don't be polite, speaking of which, you are the same generation as He Siyao and He Sijun, and you are also my junior, but in front of you, my elder can't straighten his waist, you readily agreed to come yesterday, I really didn't expect it."
"Patriarch He is Qianjue's elder, and it is appropriate to come to visit."
"Polite, fifteen-year-old age, is the township test Xie Yuan, not only outstanding in learning, but also different from the ordinary, the Wu family has a child like you, it is difficult not to prosper."
In He Fangzhen's words, he revealed his high praise for Wu Fanhui, and even more so his envy for the Wu family, but Wu Fanhui was not fluttering, the moment he entered the room, he was always thinking, He Fangzhen is like this, it is impossible to last for a long time, maybe it will be within a few days, and the next thing should be He Luoxuan inheriting the position of the patriarch of the He family, then there is a big gap between the patriarch of the He family and the patriarch of the Wu family, plus his Wu Fanhui's excellence, It was only a matter of time before the Wu family overwhelmed the He family.
He Fangzhen is over seventy years old, I don't know how much wind and rain I have seen, I hold my head high when I should look up, and I don't hesitate when I should bow my head, such ability and belly, it is difficult for ordinary people to have, I don't know how many heroes and heroes, just because they don't know how to bow their heads, they were finally plotted, and their reputation was ruined.
Wu Fanhui quickly thought of the story of the death of Yao Chong's calculation and living Zhang Shuo, Yao Chong and Zhang Shuo were both officials in the same dynasty, both were prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and there was a deep discord between the two, and there was a deep estrangement, Yao Chong thought before he died, his family would encounter Zhang Shuo's calculations, so he designed that after his death, let his son give Zhang Shuo a large amount of property in exchange for the epitaph written by Zhang Shuo, and engraved the epitaph on the tombstone, so that Zhang Shuo could not do anything to Yao Chong's family.
Today's scene is quite similar.
He Fangzhen is a person from the past, he would never have thought that Wu Fanhui in front of him is also a person from the past, and he is familiar with all the tricks.
However, Wu Fanhui did not intend to completely calculate the He family at all.
Since it has set an extraordinary goal, it is necessary to focus on the big things, there is no need to be entangled and minutiae, which will delay the big things, from the current situation, the He family has been unable to pose substantial harm to themselves and the Wu family, it is unwise to do it at this time, and such calculations are also stains on themselves, on the contrary, take advantage of this opportunity to envelop the He family, so that they can use it for their own use, this is the best way to deal with it.
Wu Fanhui, who wanted to understand, had a smile on his face, and he wanted to find out the matter.
"Patriarch He's praise, Qian Jue didn't dare to be, yesterday Qian Jue had already said to Brother Huai Yu, indicating his attitude, Qian Jue thought, when is the time to repay grievances, Patriarch He is also for the interests of the He family, do a lot of things that are not good for the Wu family, whether it is a family or an individual, if you want to grow stronger, it is absolutely impossible to have no mind and mind, if this world is full of grievances that will be retribution, wouldn't it have been messed up a long time ago."
He Fangzhen's face showed a hint of redness, he tried to prop up his body, looked at Wu Fanhui, and his eyes really showed fear and doubt.
"Qian, Qianjue, it's a pity that you are not a child of my He family, I have a lot of experience in my life, I never thought that a fifteen-year-old boy could have such foresight and wisdom, with such wisdom, if the He family wants to be your enemy, it is self-defeating, since Qian Jue has made it clear, then I have also made it clear."
Because of his excitement, He Fangzhen coughed a few times, and his face turned pale again.
"The He family used to calculate the Wu family, including the calculation of Qian Jue, you are all decisions made by me, and it has nothing to do with other people in the family, and it has nothing to do with He Luoxuan, He Siyao and He Sijun, etc., if Qian Jue has a grudge in his heart, even if he comes to me, I also believe that you will not care about all this, these things are not a matter in your eyes."
"If you want to settle accounts, the He family can only accept it, everything He Luoxuan said to you yesterday is what I meant, what the He family has done before, you should bear it, I will not be resentful, and I will tell He Luoxuan and others, asking them not to have the slightest complaint."

He Fangzhen said a lot in one breath, obviously a little tired.
Wu Fanhui looked at the old man, who was already unusually sluggish, shook his head lightly and spoke.
"Patriarch He, Qian Jue's speech has always been a word, Qin Jue's attitude yesterday was very clear, they are all villagers in the township, there is no need to worry about so many things, if you care, I am afraid that the He family does not have the peace it has now, Patriarch He's experience and knowledge are not something that Qian Jue can compare, Patriarch He thinks of many things in the future, Qian Jue can also understand, this file of things, there is no need to mention it in the future, the Wu family will not be accounted for."
When Wu Fanhui said this, He Fangzhen's mood was a little better, and he took out a bag from the circle chair and put it on the table.
"Qian Jue, it's me who thinks too much, my old bones, always think a lot, the things I have done, always like a shadow, always by my side, I often think of it, in recent times, the He family did to the Wu family, I can't forget it, you are about to go to the capital, this is a small gift prepared by me, please accept it."
Wu Fanhui looked at He Fangzhen, stretched out his hand to put the bag into his chest, he knew very well that only by accepting this bag would He Fangzhen really rest assured, after all, He Fangzhen was a person who had come from the past and was well-informed, and he would not fully believe in the promise.
After returning home, Wu Fanhui took out the bag, opened it, and gasped.
Inside the bag are five ingots of gold, ten taels of ingot gold, a total of fifty taels of gold, equivalent to six hundred taels of silver, plus the five hundred taels of silver sent yesterday, the He family has really made a bloody investment this time, thinking about easing the relationship.
Wu Fanhui put away the tips, and the housekeeper came to the house.
Wu Mianqing was waiting in the wing room of the ancestral hall.
As soon as Wu Fanhui entered the wing, Wu Mianqing couldn't wait to speak.
"Qian Jue, I saw He Fangzhen."
"Returning to the patriarch, I saw it, Patriarch He is not in good health, I'm afraid he won't be able to last a few days."
"Oh, He Fangzhen wants to see you, is he begging the Wu family to let the He family go."
"That's true."
"So what did you say?"
"Qian Jue promised Patriarch He."
Wu Mianqing stood up suddenly.
"Qian Jue, this is He Fangzhen's strategy, how can you agree, over the years, the He family has calculated my Wu family, I don't know how many dirty things I have done, just say that you participated in the government exam, if you don't deal with it very well, I don't know what the ending is, these things, it's hateful to think about, how can you promise Patriarch He."
Wu Fanhui's face was very calm.
"Patriarch, in fact, before Qian Jue went to the He family, he knew the purpose of the He family, but even if the He patriarch did not plan to intercede, Qian Jue would persuade the patriarch to let the He family go, Qian Jue did this, but also for the Wu family, in this Mizhi County, the Wu family gradually became stronger, completely overpowering the He family, it is a matter that everyone knows, if the Wu family calculates the He family at this time, what will outsiders think, and how will they talk about it, and today's He family is not comparable with the past at all, It is impossible for them to restore the past situation, and it is impossible for them to become opponents of the Wu family. ā
"The patriarch showed a gentle attitude at this time, what he gained was a good reputation of the family, and the benefits that the family would get from it in the future would be greater, not to mention that there were still people in the He family who were officials outside, once they knew what was going on, they would also repay the favor."
"Qian Jue thinks that the growth of the family still depends on its own strength, and completely calculates others to expand its own strength, and it is difficult to maintain such a strong strength, and the He family is a good example."
"Qian Jue's understanding may be biased, but this is also Qian Jue's true thoughts."
Wu Mianqing looked at Wu Fanhui and shook his head helplessly.
"Qian Jue, your idea is very good, and it is also taught in this book, but the reality is not the case at all, he will become an official in the court, you will never be able to have such a simple idea, you are merciful, the other party may not be merciful, he will be even worse."
"The affairs of the He family, since you have agreed, I will handle it according to your wishes."
Wu Fanhui didn't speak, he knew that what Wu Mianqing said was right, kindness to the enemy is cruelty to himself, he would hardly do such a thing, this time it was different for the He family, the He family who lost He Fangzhen was equivalent to a tiger without tiger claws and sharp teeth, and a person with lofty ambitions must have a gentle heart, and everything will be retribution, and it will be difficult to have a big future in the future.
Wu Mianqing's vision is definitely not as good as his Wu Fanhui, after all, Wu Mianqing is only a meritorious person, that is, he has been a county minister for several years, and he has not done anything in the government and the governor's yamen, let alone entered the imperial court.
There is a very clear truth, three stinkers beat Zhuge Liang, no matter how wise and powerful a person is, he needs to get help from others, and it is difficult to make a forest without a drop of water.
In terms of his attitude towards the He family, Wu Fanhui believes that his decision is correct.
