Chapter 221: Tianfu Gathering
On the fourth day of the first lunar month, the day of the sheep, the legend says that Nuwa created a man, the first day of the first month is a chicken, the second day is a dog, the third day is a pig, the fourth day is a sheep, the fifth day is a cow, the sixth day is a horse, and the seventh day is a human. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info In the old imperial calendar, the sheep are occupied, so it is often said that "three sheep (yang) Kaitai" is a symbol of auspiciousness. Today's two-day entertainment has made Liu Fan tired, and the maids in the house are also tired enough, so early this morning, Liu Fan took Shuying and a few personal soldiers to quietly slip away from the back door and went to visit Tianchou Mansion.
When they came to Tianfu, Liu Fan and the others first saluted Tian Chou, and then they were warmly greeted by Tian Chou to the living room to speak, and the three of them sat down, but Tian Chou said with a little reproach, "Jimin, Ying'er!" Why are you two here today? The old man has been waiting for you to come to the door since the second year of junior high school, and he has been waiting for two days. Have you forgotten that there is still me as an old fellow? ”
Liu Fan smiled bitterly, and hurriedly apologized: "Uncle, you have also heard about the Zhengdan Dynasty Meeting!" Originally, I wanted to take Ying'er to visit my uncle in the second year of junior high school, but I never thought that the whole incident would have such a big impact, and the officials up and down the court didn't know what was crazy, and I blocked the door early in the morning from the second year of junior high school, and I couldn't get out! I hope my uncle will forgive me! ”
Liu Fan's words were reversed, but he still understood that such a big thing happened to his family's "son-in-law", could he not know? The answer is yes, seeing this, Tian Chou didn't want to blame anything, nodded and said, "Hmm! I've heard about it too! The reputation of Jimin spread all over the capital, and it was reasonable for those who tended to be attached to the society to come to the door to disturb them. There is a way that the king of Hades is good, the little ghost is difficult, the water in this capital is deep, it is better not to offend these officials or not to offend! Jimin is doing a good job! ”
Liu Fan arched his hand and said, "Uncle said yes!" Liu Fan has been taught! ”
Tian Chou waved his hand and said, "You and I are both family, don't say it politely!" Then he turned to Tian Shuying and said, "Ying'er! Didn't you keep nagging to see your mother? Now she's waiting for you in the room, go ahead! ”
Sook-young exclaimed, "Mother is here!?" Are you sure? Hee-hee, that's great! Brother Jimin! Father! You talk first. I'm going to see my mother! After speaking, without waiting for the two to answer, he ran out of the house like a whirlwind with the horns of his skirt.
Liu Fan was also shocked and said, "Auntie has arrived in the capital?" Then Liu Fan should have a visit! Saying that, Liu Fan was about to get up and chase Shuying.
Seeing this, Tian Chou hurriedly stopped: "Jimin, come slowly!" Ying'er and her mother haven't seen each other for a year, so let's talk to them! You'll meet at luncheon! Jimin, sit down first, the old man still has something to tell you! ”
Liu Fan thought about it, it is indeed the same, it is indeed inappropriate for the mother and daughter to whisper that they are an "outsider" in the middle! I could only sit down again and said, "Uncle is right, I was abrupt!" ”
"Jimin is also a piece of filial piety! How could the old man not know! Let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about business first! Tian Chou took a sip of the teacup and said, "Jimin, do you know that Hou Sui is selling his property in the capital and is preparing to return to his hometown?" ”
Liu Fan shook his head and said, "I don't know!" "Liu Fan rarely cares about Hou Sui's affairs, a loser doesn't need Liu Fan to bother and work hard, besides, he is too busy these days, how can he be in the mood to care about what Hou Sui is doing, it is better to accompany Ying'er with that idle time, at least he can gain the favor of the beauty. What can I get by caring about Hou Sui?
Seeing Liu Fan's indifferent look, Tian Chou frowned, made a distressed expression, and said loudly: "Jimin!" Do you know how dangerous your situation is right now? Although Hou Sui is not the current leader of Donglin, his status in the Donglin Party is not much inferior to Qian Qianyi. The most important thing is that Hou Sui did not commit an unpardonable sin during his tenure as the head of the household department, but now that he has been removed from office because of your impeachment, what will those people in the Donglin Party think of you? I'm afraid you are more hateful in their hearts than the eunuchs! You don't know how powerful the Donglin Party is? If they start a fight, they won't be able to bring you down, but your reputation will be ruined! Even the old man has to suffer! ”
It's not that Liu Fan doesn't know what Tian Chou said, but he doesn't care too much, who is the Donglin Party? It's just some interest groups composed of sour Confucianism, will Liu Fan be afraid of them with military power in hand? But considering that Tian Chou was also kind-hearted, Liu Fan had no choice but to explain, "Uncle, I know what you said, since the Wu Weiye incident the year before last, I have been on the opposite side of the Donglin Party, what can I do with one more Hou Sui?" There is Your Majesty in the Donglin Party those people can't do anything to me! I know this in my heart, so I don't have to worry too much about it! ”
Seeing this, Tian Chou sighed, "Alas! Helping the people! The old man has been in Jiangnan for a long time, most of the literati in Jiangnan are Donglin party, and its power is unimaginable, even the old man has to be afraid of three points, Your Majesty can protect you for a while, can he protect you for a lifetime? ”
Liu Fan spread his hands and said, "I'm offended, what do you say, uncle?" ”
Tian Chou choked, feeling quite embarrassed in his heart, in fact, he didn't know what to do, the Donglin Party was not too interested in him, the national abbot, even if he was a lobbyist for Liu Fan with a thick face, people would not necessarily sell him this face. He said, "Uh! This old man doesn't know that reconciliation is impossible, but you can't be so heartless! Something has to be done! ”
Liu Fan groaned, "Hmm! Can't be provoked, can afford to hide! When Ying'er and I get married, we will leave the capital, a place of right and wrong, and go back to Jiaozhou, the power of the Donglin Party will not be able to catch up with Jiaozhou! ”
"Alas! That's all there is to it for now! Tian Chou sighed.
The rest of the conversation was deliberately avoided by both men, and only discussed the wedding for a while, and the conversation did not end until the beginning of the luncheon.
Because it was a family banquet, there were only four people at the banquet, Tian Chou and his wife and Liu Fan Shuying, and Liu Fan also saw Shuying's biological mother for the first time at this banquet. Maybe it's because the time to marry Tian Chou is late, Shuying's mother looks very young! From a distance, the black hair is like a waterfall, the skin is snow tender and porcelain white, the eyebrows are lightly swept away, the black hair is pulled into a high bun, which looks dignified and cold, and the gestures reveal a noble lady's demeanor, elegant and subtle, standing with Shuying like a pair of beautiful sisters. Liu Fan sighed in his heart, no wonder he was able to teach Tian Xiuying and Tian Shuying, two excellent daughters, because they were rare strange women.
I don't know what Shuying said to her mother, anyway, Liu Fan feels that Shuying's mother is very satisfied with him, and she has the feeling that her mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law. During the banquet, he asked for warmth, caring, and enthusiastic, which made Liu Fan a little overwhelmed! (To be continued.) )
