There were no nine curves and eighteen turns, and there was no left corridor and right corner, a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper walked straight to the backyard with Wei Qiao.

With only two turns, Wei Qiao came to Fu Li's living room.

Wei Qiao once thought of several ways to meet, ignoring the study and pretending to be a profound psychological oppression, welcoming the kind old man who came out of the spring breeze in the study, and ignoring the lukewarm in the courtyard, all kinds of thoughts were thought about, but he didn't think of this kind of scene.

In the small living room, Fu Li sat at the table facing west and east, dressed in a simple light cyan robe, his beard stained with white porridge and rice grains was gently cocked, a few messy sticks to his chin, and his hands were dry holding a bowl of millet porridge, with two side dishes - he was eating with his head sticked.

This is an ordinary old man, who doesn't even have a serving maid by his side. Even, Wei Qiao still felt a little desolate when he saw it.

Wei Qiao looked a little stunned, and his footsteps stopped at the door.

Fu Li raised his head and took a sip of food, as if he saw a figure at the door, turned his head to look at Wei Qiao, put down the bowl and said with a smile: "Come, come in." ”

The corners of Wei Qiao's mouth twitched, his stiff expression showed a faint smile, and he walked in and saluted respectfully: "I've seen Fu Ge Lao." ”

Fu Lijiongshuo's gaze swept over Wei Qiao, and then nodded and smiled: "Well, yes, sit down." Give Liyuan a bowl of rice and add two more dishes. ”

Wei Qiao wanted to refuse, but he couldn't find an excuse to refuse. That kind of hypocrisy and politeness, Wei Qiao felt that it could not be used on the old man in front of him at all.

"Okay." Wei Qiao smiled lightly and sat down next to Fu Li.

Fu Li nodded with a satisfied smile, picked up the bowl again, ate again, turned his head to look at Wei Qiao and said with a smile: "People are old, their appetite is not good, I went to the court without eating this morning, I stood for a long time, I was hungry when I just arrived at the cabinet room, and I stayed up for a while, and then I came back to eat something." Hehe, I'm used to eating the old woman's food, and I can't eat it anywhere else. ”

The horror in Wei Qiao's heart had been suppressed, and he nodded with a light smile.

Soon, the servant brought a bowl of rice and added two more dishes - scrambled eggs with leeks and a fish, and the plate was not big.

Fu Li smiled and said: "This fish is not fried by the old woman, and the fish fried by the old woman is not delicious." ”

Wei Qiao smiled, picked up the chopsticks, and in the surprise in Fu Li's eyes, he took a breath, tasted it, and said with a smile: "Well, it's fine but not greasy, it's much better than our cook." ”

Fu Li laughed, seemed to be very happy, and said with a smile: "Okay, then eat, eat." ”

Wei Qiao smiled and nodded, picked up the bowl and really ate it.

The housekeeper outside had a look of surprise in his eyes, staring at Wei Qiao's back with a strange face. There have been many people in the Fu family, and it is not without this situation, but all of them were embarrassed to come out, and this Wei Qiao actually sat down and accompanied the master to eat?

The housekeeper knows the prestige of his master, and if this matter spreads, it may cause a lot of turmoil.

In addition to the surprise at the beginning, Wei Qiao has basically adapted now. Fu Li asked about Fu Yang while eating, Wei Qiao answered truthfully, and occasionally praised one or two sentences quietly, when it came to Fu Yang opening a restaurant, Wei Qiao quietly asked a few tentative questions, Fu Li was full of smiles, nodded and smiled from time to time, and also commented on one or two sentences, it seemed that Fu Yang was not angry at this 'big rebellion', but agreed very much.

"Well, yes, Yun Ya has been weak since he was a child, so it's good to exercise." Fu Li put down his chopsticks, his eyes flashed with a complicated light, and he said with a faint smile.

Wei Qiao also quickly took the rice in the bowl and said vaguely: "Yunya has made great progress, Elder Ge should go and take a look." ”

Fu Li smiled and said, "Well, I should go, when he opens, let him give me an invitation, haha......" It seemed that thinking of his son's embarrassed look when he gave him an invitation, Fu Li couldn't help laughing.

Wei Qiao imagined Fu Yang's embarrassed appearance, and laughed along.

Fu Li laughed for a while, turned his head to look at Wei Qiao, and said, "Have you eaten?" ”

"Well, almost." Wei Qiao smiled lightly and said, in fact, he was seven points full.

Fu Li didn't pursue it, stood up and said, "Then follow me to the study." ”

Wei Qiao immediately stood up and followed behind Fu Li.

Fu Li's study is not simply something that can be entered, it is really five steps, one post, ten steps and one sentry, and the defense is extremely tight. Wei Qiao looked at the murderous guards on both sides of the road a few steps away, and then thought about the hidden power, and nodded secretly, this should be a Shoufu's mansion.

Fu Li pushed open the door of the study and walked in.

Fu Li's study is very large, and it is also simple, with three or four bookshelves, full of books. In front of the bookshelf opposite is a table with all the four treasures of the study, and on the east side of the table is a bed with complete bedding on it, which is only enough for one person to sleep. Elsewhere, there are tables and chairs, as well as antiques.

"Sit." Fu Li walked to the desk and pointed to a chair facing east and west.

Wei Qiao sat down and began to look around the study. If you insist on picking something valuable, it is estimated that those books that seem to be rare and lonely, and those antique collections Wei Qiao estimates that they are not worth a few dollars - too new.

After a long time, Fu Li came over with two cups of tea, put them on the table, and sat down with him, looking at Wei Qiao with a smile and saying, "That kid in Yunya has a good eye. ”

Wei Qiao respectfully took the tea and said with a light smile: "The elder praised it." ”

Fu Li smiled, looked at Wei Qiao seriously, nodded thoughtfully, and said, "What's the matter with coming today?" ”

Wei Qiao was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashed slightly, he wanted to take out the hand in his arms, and said with a smile: "I've always wanted to come to visit the elder pavilion, but I'll come here when I'm free." ”

Fu Li smiled faintly, he knew that Wei Qiao should be on duty at the Yushi Observatory today, but he didn't ask, and said with a smile: "Can you understand my painting?" ”

Wei Qiao sat up slightly, and said very honestly: "Let the elder see the smile, the younger generation has been thinking about it for a long time, and still has no clue." ”

Fu Li smiled lightly and nodded, it didn't seem strange, looked at Wei Qiao and said with a smile: "I painted an identical picture to Wang Yuanhui before, he looked at it for three years, and then became the son-in-law of King Jin." ”

"He understands?" Wei Qiao's eyes flashed in surprise and said.

Fu Li sighed and said, "I understand, it's only because I understand that he became the son-in-law of King Jin." ”

Wei Qiao frowned slightly, a little incomprehensible.

Fu Li glanced at Wei Qiao, didn't explain, and said with a smile: "The sword is out of the sheath, and there is no blood and no return." This is the answer that Wang Yuan will give me. ”

When Wei Qiao heard this, he shook his head slightly, this sentence was obviously not the moral of the painting, it should be Wang Yuanhui's answer to the painting.

Fu Li seemed to have some disappointment in his eyes, and said with a light smile: "Wang Yuanhui is indeed a smart person, he has indeed seen through my thoughts. ”

Wei Qiao thought about this sentence, and groaned, without squeaking.

Seeing that Wei Qiao didn't speak, Fu Li smiled and said, "Don't think about it so much, it's just a painting, it doesn't matter." ”

Wei Qiao shook his head in his heart, Fu Li must have wanted to hint at something, but he still couldn't guess it.

Fu Li glanced at Wei Qiao, and said, "You are much stronger than Wang Yuanhui back then, even if you are better than Ming Zheng." I don't know what the emperor thinks, but what I want to tell you is that the peace and stability of the court are not easy to come by, and once this peace is broken, whether it is the chaotic interior of Daqi or the Huns who are about to move outside, it is enough to make Daqi doom and the people suffer. ”

As soon as Fu Li's words fell, Wei Qiao's originally clogged brain suddenly cleared up—he somewhat understood what Fu Li meant.

Daqi is like a sharp sword that has been unsheathed, this sword can hurt others and hurt oneself, implying that Daqi is now very dangerous. 'Qing' and 'Jing' should represent the two forces in Fu Li's heart, Fu Li doesn't care if you are 'Qing' or 'Jing', the word 'stability' he asks for is a balance, maintaining the balance of stability in the upper echelons of Daqi!

'The sword is out of the sheath, and there is no blood to return', and Wang Yuanhui he doesn't want this balance, he wants to break this balance, so he chooses King Jin!

Wei Qiao understood Fu Li's thoughts, and a stone in his heart suddenly disappeared, thought about it, and carefully considered the wording: "Rest assured, the stable situation of Daqi is not easy to come by, and no one should break it easily." ”

According to Wei Qiao's understanding of history, there are generally only two best ways to deal with this situation: boiling the frog in warm water and cutting the mess with a quick knife. In this case of Daqi, the fast knife will definitely be in chaos, so you can only take your time.

Fu Li listened to Wei Qiao's words and smiled with satisfaction, his old expression showed a look of relief, and said: "Well, the disaster in the west is not abating, your Wei family, as a big merchant in Jinling, should you express it?" ”

Wei Qiao was stunned for a moment, looking at Fu Li with puzzled eyes, completely unaware of how he suddenly shifted the topic to disaster relief in the northwest.

Could it be Wang Yuanhui's business?

Wei Qiao's heart turned, and he smiled lightly: "Well, our Wei family is also considering donating 50,000 taels of silver to the northwest for rice and grain for the victims." ”

"Fifty thousand?" Fu Li looked at Wei Qiao and repeated.

Wei Qiao looked at Fu Li's silent expression, his heart was strange, he frowned and thought about it, and said: "We will do our best, if we squeeze it, there should be no problem with a hundred thousand." ”

Fu Li's expression was still unmoving, and he said lightly, "One hundred thousand? ”

Wei Qiao's heart was even more strange, and said: "Then, the whole Wei family should be able to make up enough for 150,000." ”

"One hundred and fifty thousand?" Fu Li frowned slightly this time.

Wei Qiao was about to cry in his heart, you can say as much as you want.

Wei Qiao frowned, this time he really frowned, "Well, then, give 250,000 with all my might." ”

Fu Li's face showed a hint of displeasure, and said: "You kid is very good at everything else, but he is too picky, so let's make 800,000 yuan and set an example." ”

When Wei Qiao heard this, his heart suddenly jumped up.

800,000? Although the Wei family has a big business and has a big business, it is no problem to make up 800,000 yuan, but 800,000 at once, it does not mean that it can be taken out, and now it is still at a juncture, and 800,000 yuan can be withdrawn at once, and something must happen!
