Chapter 37: Entrusted by Others

The wine jug in Tang Ming's hand shook it before pouring the wine, and a smell of wine suddenly wafted along the spout. After Fang Xiaoru heard this, his nose twitched slightly, and his eyes unconsciously stared at the wine jug.

Fang Xiaoru's slight movements naturally couldn't escape Tang Ming, who was always paying attention to him, and seeing that he had begun to take the bait, he was even more confident in what he was going to do next. took out a small wine glass from the food basket, deliberately poured it slowly, and then leaned under his nose to take a deep breath, shaking his head and sighing: "Good wine!" ”

Suddenly, he raised his head, drank the wine in the cup, took a sip of wine with a satisfied expression, picked up a piece of roast mutton with chopsticks and chewed it. Tang Ming's performance skills at this moment can be called unprecedented, and the Adam's apple of the always calm generation Fang Xiaoru keeps moving up and down, and his action of swallowing saliva is already obvious.

When people are depressed and frustrated, the most direct and easiest way to vent in the subconscious is nothing more than to get drunk and relieve a thousand sorrows. Wine strengthens your nerves and numbs your nerves, especially spirits. Tang Ming grasped this characteristic, so he wanted to take a generation of people to see if a generation of people would also be tempted by it.

After pouring the second glass of wine, it was too late to perform again, and Fang Xiaoru, a generation of everyone, took the lead in speaking: "Did you come to visit the prison like this?" Sure enough, if the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, what kind of teacher will teach what kind of disciples. If this is what Yao Guangxiao wants to see, then you can go back and make a difference. The old man was really tempted by the wine at that moment just now, and the old man understood the teacher's beauty. ”

The tone was full of grievances, so much so that Tang Ming couldn't react for a while, and he was stunned in an instant.

Fang Xiaoru couldn't wait for a response, and was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at his eyes for a while, he was a dignified generation of Confucianism, but now he was sitting in a prison cell. But he couldn't tolerate being ridiculed by Tang Ming so vertically, so he immediately stood up tremblingly, and was about to scold Tang Ming as soon as he pointed at him.

The benefits of the literati's mouths have been seen since ancient times, and if you want to fight with them, Tang Ming thinks that he has no place to die without a complete body. Seeing that he was already angry, he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly pinched ninety degrees and spoke first: "The kid is rude, he should compensate the adult first, and the glass of wine just now should be a wine test for the adult." I hope that adults must take care of their bodies, don't be angry for the kid, it will be very inappropriate. ”

Fang Xiaoru's reaction just now was much beyond Tang Ming's imagination, causing him to be a little caught off guard just now, but fortunately, he had already made an excuse for his first glass of wine, otherwise he really didn't know how to deal with it at this moment.

Especially when you meet someone like Xiaoru above, you can only follow his wishes, and you must not have any doubts about him. Most of us live in our own world, and faith and thought are the unswerving pursuit of our lives.

Fang Xiaoru suddenly became angry, and was blocked by Tang Ming's words like this, and it was really difficult to attack for a while, so he had to reluctantly shake his hand and turn away. However, he began to re-examine Tang Minglai in his heart, and his slippery head and wit had to make a generation of Confucians look at him differently.

Seeing Fang Xiaoru turn his back, Tang Ming touched his nose and didn't dare to say anything more, poured another glass of wine in a proper manner, and sent it to him, hehe smiled: "My lord, please use it slowly, this wine is the kid's own distilled spirit, you can taste it." ”

Smelling the aroma of wine again, Fang Xiaoru turned around, sat directly on the ground, picked up the full wine glass and drank it all. 'Ahem, cough, cough' had never drunk such a strong wine, Fang Xiaoru was choked, and coughed a few times before he eased his breath.

"Tang Ming, right? Yao Guangxiao's meaning is understood by the old man, but you don't need to waste your tongue, since ancient times, you have become a king and defeated a coward, but it is a pity that the pen and ink are not as ruthless as the sword and gun, and the article is not as good as the sword and halberd. Zhu Di, a tyrant like Zhu Di, now has won the world, which is really my Ming's misfortune! Fang Xiaoru drank a few glasses of wine in a row, and his face suddenly turned red.

"The kid is only shallow in learning, and he doesn't dare to judge lightly, but since he was a child, he has traveled all over the world with his family teacher, and he has also seen and heard a little about the people. Now the Ming Dynasty is embattled, and all the countries outside the country are ready to move, if the monarch is too merciful, my Ming will suffer misfortune. Literature can govern the country, and military can protect the safety of the country, and only when the two complement each other can we achieve the demeanor of a great country. Tang Ming was silent for a moment and replied.

"Since the ancient roads, they are not conspiracy, what Xiaoyou said is naturally reasonable, but Zhu Di's name is not right, and he has committed such a conspiracy, and he still talks about governing the country and strengthening the country. Let's not talk about it, Emperor Jianwen has gone, the old man will not live in the world, and now there is only one thing to worry about, and I ask Xiaoyou to help a little. Fang Xiaoru didn't seem to want to talk to Tang Ming about this.

In fact, he fully understood Yao Guangxiao's intentions, but the arrogance in his heart always drove him to not be able to bow his head in front of Zhu Di. What's more, in order to repay the kindness of Zhu Yuanzhang and Emperor Jianwen, it is inevitable that he will not succumb to Zhu Di.

"My lord, but it doesn't hurt to say it, the kid will do his best." Tang Ming's face was straight.

The title from Zhuzi to Xiaoyou has changed a little quickly, but this is also Fang Xiaoru's affirmation of it.

Fang Xiaoru took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Tang Ming and said: "This is a letter to the little girl, the little girl Fang Jialan is fourteen years old and is the adopted daughter of the old man. His father was a good friend of the old man, and he was the only one left in the family when he suffered a catastrophe, and his friend was left alone with me before his death. Now the old man is also unable to protect himself, so he asks Xiaoyou to take care of him. ”

Fang Xiaoru's expression at the moment seemed to be a little ambiguous, no matter how Tang Ming looked at it, it was not as simple as he said, looking at the envelope in his hand and then looking at Fang Xiaoru with a smile on his face, he had a feeling of being calculated.

But this is not a big deal, Tang Ming also nodded and agreed: "The adult can trust the boy, it is the blessing of the boy, the boy should arrange this matter properly, the adult can rest assured." I don't know where the young lady lives now, please let me know. ”

"There's a Hutchison garment shop on the main street in the city, you just have to hand the envelope to the shopkeeper and she'll take you there. The little girl's surname is Chen, in order for her not to be implicated by her husband in the future, you can ask her to revert to her surname. Fang Xiaoru brushed his long beard and said with a smile.

Tang Ming should take care of this matter, clean up and leave. From Fang Xiaoru's words, he already understood that he didn't need to say much, he died vigorously in history, and there were countless people implicated. If you can't reverse history by yourself, then you can only go with the torrent.

After leaving the prison cell, he followed Li Jinglong out of the palace again, and then said goodbye and walked alone on the streets of Nanjing. Thinking of the woman he was about to meet, and thinking back to Fang Xiaoru's words at that time, he was a little confused. The old fox's trust will never be so simple, otherwise why would he choose himself alone.
