Chapter 442: Xu Wenjue's Invitation
Sure enough, as Xu Wenjue said, he sent someone to invite Liu Fan to Xu's mansion early the next morning. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Liu Fan had already expected the change in Xu Wenjue's attitude, but he didn't expect him to be so impatient. According to Liu Fan's guess, why do you have to wait for three or five days!
The sooner Xu Wenjue agreed, the more beneficial it would be to Liu Fan, and the happier Liu Fan would be. There are really not many things that money can't solve in this world, and cooperation with the Xu family is definitely not one of them. In order to win over the Xu family, Liu Fan paid a full fifth of the profit, more than 1.5 million taels of silver, and it was inevitable that Liu Fan himself would be moved, let alone the Xu family.
Sure enough, as Liu Fan expected, after coming to Xu's house, Xu Wenjue not only happily agreed to cooperate, but even agreed to Liu Fan's previous request to worship Xu Da. and personally took Liu Fan to the ancestral hall of the Xu family to worship Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan. After that, he pulled Liu Fan to discuss some details of cooperation, and then let Liu Fan leave.
In the next few days, Xu Wenjue repeatedly sent people to invite Liu Fan to Xu's house as a guest, and sometimes he would come to Tianfu to talk to Liu Fan in person. After several exchanges, Xu Wenjue himself admired Liu Fan's extensive knowledge and novel and peculiar ideas, and Liu Fan also had a good impression of this gentle and elegant family child, and the relationship between the two quickly warmed up in just three or five days, and they became good friends who talked about everything.
Early in the morning of this day, Xu Wenjue ran to Tianfu to find Liu Fan with great interest, "Jimin, brother, I heard that Qinhuai River has been lively recently, how about we go and join in the fun?" ”
"Qinhuai River?" Liu Fan was stunned, then carefully glanced out of the door, and found that the three girls were not there, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly shook his head and said, "I don't go to that kind of place!" ”
Xu Wenjue hurriedly persuaded, "Hey? It's not a big deal to just go out and have fun, and even if your brother and sister know about it, she won't blame you! ”
"It's not Ying'er's reason!" Liu Fan shook his head and explained, "It's not that you haven't seen the situation at the door, does Brother Xu think I can go out?" ”
Seeing Liu Fan's refusal without hesitation, Xu Wenjue couldn't help but feel a little anxious. His father had told him that he must have a good relationship with Liu Fan, and Xu Wenjue has done the same in the past few days. But after a long time, Xu Wenjue became clawless, although he is a child of a family with extraordinary knowledge, but after all, he is a martial arts family that can't compare to those scholarly families, it is okay to dance knives and guns, but he is not good at talking about the past and the present, and the little work in his chest has been almost taken out in a few days. In desperation, Xu Wenjue had no choice but to invite Liu Fan to visit the Qinhuai River. Men, things can bring each other closer to each other.
Thinking of this, Xu Wenjue made up his mind to pull Liu Fan out, so he said, "Aren't they just some stinky scholars, you can send some family members to drive them away, this is also Jimin, you have a good temper, and if it were replaced by my Xu Mansion master, I would have already greeted them with sticks!" ”
"Uh" Hearing Xu Wenjue's words, Liu Fan was speechless for a moment, is this matter that simple? Liu Fan also knew very well who was taking the lead at the door. For Chen Zhenhui, Fang Yizhi and Liu Fan also know something about the situation of the two of them, after the death of the "future" Ming Dynasty, Chen Zhenhui chose to retreat to the countryside, and never worked for the Manchu Qing Dynasty in his life. Fang Yizhi even went to Yunnan, and still ran for the great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty under the most difficult circumstances, until he became a monk in frustration after the fall of the Southern Ming Dynasty. Such two loyal people for the country, to tell the truth, Liu Fan is not too annoying, even if they block the door every day, Liu Fan does not have much resentment. Because Liu Fan knew very well why the two of them opposed him, think about it from another perspective, if Liu Fan was also a member of Donglin, he would not have any good feelings for a warlord.
The most important point is that the two of them were quite restrained, and they did not lead people to attack Tianfu, but they kept suppressing those students who were about to move. If there is no need, Liu Fan doesn't want to break this "balance", just surround it, anyway, they are just surrounding the gate to "demonstrate", and they are not completely blocking themselves.
Seeing that Xu Wenjue was still unwilling, Liu Fan explained to him seriously: "What reputation I have in this Nanjing City, I guess Brother Xu is also very clear. In this case, if you go out to attract bees and butterflies, won't you tell people loudly that I'm here to come and cut me? ”
"Poof" Xu Wenjue suddenly sprayed when he heard the sip of tea he had just drunk, and looked at Liu Fan with a flushed face, "It's not as serious as you said!" No matter how you say it, you are also a dignified and first-class chief military officer, who would dare to cut you? Don't want to die? Besides, your guards aren't vegetarians, Ann, Ann! No problem! ”
Worried that Liu Fan would refuse again, Xu Wenjue hurriedly persuaded, "It's really because your reputation is not very good now, so we should take the initiative to attack, are you just watching them block here every day like this, and keep ruining your reputation?" Now you can't even get out of the door, even if you and I have the ability to reach the sky, we can't do anything! You sit at home every day and let others curse, I know that you are good at forbearance. But would anyone else think so? Will our allies think so? If you don't fight back, then the forces we have worked so hard to build will collapse due to the loss of confidence! ”
Liu Fan couldn't help but hesitate a little, and was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Brother Xu, do you have any good ideas?" ”
Xu Wenjue's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Jimin, you stay in the north all the year round, and you may not know about the affairs in the south of the Yangtze River. Guozijian is the territory of the Donglin Party, and people don't welcome us two martial artists, but Qinhuai River is different. Open the door to do business, can you still push out a gold owner like us? Only when we make trouble in the Qinhuai River can we attract the attention of all people with ulterior motives in Nanjing, so as to show our determination, and attract everyone's attention so that it is convenient for us to arrange secretly, which is not the best of both worlds? Speaking of this, Xu Wenjue couldn't help but admire a little of himself, he was so witty!
"Storm and storm? I think it's adding fuel to the fire! Although he was a little contemptuous of Xu Wenjue's excuse, Liu Fan still considered Xu Wenjue's suggestion very seriously. The others may not be very good, but there is a sentence that Xu Wenjue can be regarded as a point, Liu Fan can't be so passive anymore, he must take the initiative to attack. Otherwise, those wall-grass forces may really fall apart as Xu Wenjue said!
"Well, I'm convinced by you! Brother Xu, where are you going? ”
