Chapter 124: The Wedding Date Is Set
King Yan left the Xiao Mansion, and there was a lot of blood on the floor tiles in the front hall, some of which were from Xiao Fan and some from King Yan.
This time because of Xiao Thrush's rivalry, the two were able to draw each other, and no one took advantage of it, but they had a tacit understanding of exposing the matter to each other.
However, Xiao Fan knew in his heart that after this incident, Zhu Di really hated himself, and the contradiction between him and Zhu Di had escalated to a very acute point, although there had been a small friction and conflict with him before, but it had nothing to do with his vital interests, Zhu Di was a person who did big things, and he would not take it too seriously. But this time is different, from his standpoint, his young daughter was "abducted" by Xiao Fan, and this hatred is not deep.
The beam is bigger, what should I do next?
Xiao Fan thinks, what should I do.
Since he is determined to stand on Zhu Yunwen's side, then he and Zhu Di are destined to turn their faces, and sooner or later there will be a battle between them in the future, and there is not much difference between turning their faces early and turning their faces late.
So after Zhu Di left, Xiao Fan seemed very calm, for him, this was just a small episode in life.
Lang Zhong invited him, and shook his head looking at the knife wound on Xiao Fan's left arm.
Xiao Fan was startled by Lang Zhong's expression when he saw a terminally ill patient, and said worriedly: "Won't it?" It's just a slash, and it's not saved? ”
Lang Zhong hurriedly smiled flatteringly: "My lord, the grass people are just condemning the wicked who cut you......"
Xiao Fan: "............"
Cao Yi was curious on the side: "How do you know that the adult was cut by someone else?" Maybe he accidentally cut it himself? ”
Lang Zhong smiled: "How is that possible?" Isn't it a fool to put a knife in his arm? ”
Xiao Fan was relieved: "The doctor has worked hard, wait for the housekeeper to get a reward of five taels of silver." ”
- Zhu Di should really be pulled over and let him listen to the voices of the people.
When Lang Zhong saw that there was a reward for money, he smiled happily, and the doctor was careful.
After applying ointment to Xiao Fan's injury, Xiao Thrush came over and pushed Lang Zhong aside, and then wiped his tears and bandaged Xiao Fan's injury without saying a word.
Seeing the distressed look on the corner of the thrush's mouth, Xiao Fan couldn't bear it, turned his head and smiled at her: "I'm fine, don't cry." Thousands of years later, there will be scholars who will prove that proper bleeding can promote human metabolism and be good for the body......"
Lang Zhong retorted very unfamiliarly on the side: "What kind of scholar said this? It's just nonsense, blood and qi are the root of the human body's survival, how can it be damaged? Not to mention the good for the body......"
Xiao Thrush's little face, which was originally crying with pear blossoms and rain, suddenly became more and more out of control.
Xiao Fan glanced at Lang Zhong and said coldly, "Is the doctor very interested in this topic?" Later, we will ask you to go to prison for a few days, and the official can demonstrate to you in detail whether bloodletting is good for the human body. ”
Lang Zhong was frightened, and then realized that he was now dealing with a group of murderous brocade guards, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, the grass people are not interested, they are really not interested." ”
After bandaging the wound, Lang Zhong and Cao Yi left one after another.
In the bedroom of the inner courtyard, Xiao Thrush hugged Xiao Fan's waist tightly, burying him behind his back and sobbing silently, the strength in his hand was very great, as if Xiao Fan would disappear as soon as he let go.
"Thrush ......"
"Uh-huh......" thrush sobbed and whispered.
"Can you let go a little bit......" Xiao Fan seemed very uncomfortable.
"No!" The thrush's hand tightened.
"But...... If you hold my waist like this again, my will be pulled into the crotch of my pants......" Xiao Fanjun's face turned red.
“…………”
After a long time, Xiao Fan pulled the thrush's shoulder, helped her wipe away her tears, and then sighed: "You and your biological father Yan Wang ......"
Thrush interrupted him very quickly and said, "Whoever hurts you is my enemy, and my father is no exception." ”
When the thrush said this, he was categorical, his expression was extremely serious, and his little face was full of stubbornness.
Xiao Fan was moved to hold her in his arms and was silent for a long time.
"My mother has died under his indifference, I can't allow him to hurt you again, I only have you in this world......" Thrush sobbed as she buried her head in his arms.
Xiao Fan sighed movingly: "Thrush ......"
"Huh?"
"Don't bite people when you fight with people in the future, it's very risky."
"What's that for?"
“…… I'll teach you a trick to tease your legs later. ”
"Good!"
At the time of the lamp, Taixu Lao Dao hummed a yellow song and staggered back.
Xiao Fan sat at the door of the moon in the inner courtyard with a gloomy face, and when he saw Taixu looking as happy as a fairy, he was angry.
The apprentice was cut down today and almost became the Condor Hero Yang Guo, you, the master, are still living happily outside, it's too psychologically unbalanced!
Taixu hummed a tune in his mouth, and as soon as he passed through the inner hall, he saw Xiao Fan sitting at the door of the moon with a gloomy face.
"What are you doing sitting here?" ”
Xiao Fan said with a straight face: "...... Count the stars. ”
Tai hummed: "It's really childlike, counting stars is your expression?" It's as if someone slashed it......"
"Master is really clever......
Taixu glanced at Xiao Fan's half-drooping left arm, and couldn't help but be surprised: "You were really cut off?" ”
Xiao Fan took the initiative and said coldly with a straight face: "Master, as the saying goes, master and apprentice are concentric, and their profits are golden, but now I am too disappointed in you, my apprentice was almost hacked to death with a knife at home, and when I was stabbed, you were good, and you ran outside to drink and drink brightly......
Saying that, Xiao Fan suddenly sniffled and smelled a strong fragrance of fat powder on Taixu's body.
Xiao Fan couldn't help but become more and more sad and angry: "...... And you're still drinking flower wine, Master, you're so sad for your apprentice! ”
Seeing Xiao Fan's injury on his left arm, it really didn't seem to be a fake, so he couldn't help but look at the old man, and lowered his head with a little shame.
Xiao Fan stood up and said sadly: "Master, it's wrong for you to do this!" How can you not be there when your apprentice is stabbed? Do you know that you almost sent a white-haired person to a black-haired person today? Ask yourself, are you worthy of this master? Have you ever felt a little bit ashamed of your actions, a little bit of guilt, have you ever ...... Hey? What do you have in your arms? Exposed......"
Xiao Fan stretched out his hand and pulled out the big red thing in Taixu's arms, and when he looked at it through the moonlight, he couldn't help but become more and more angry.
"Belly pockets? You...... Master, why are you getting more and more depraved? It's just a matter of drinking flower wine in the land of wind and moon, and you still pack it? You are more than 100 years old, how can you be more romantic than my apprentice? Can you be a man of integrity? Fooling around in those places, aren't you afraid of getting sick? If you die in the future, what should I write on your epitaph if you call your apprentice? ”
Taixu was so embarrassed by Xiao Fanshu that he lowered his head and said cautiously: "...... Fortune telling? ”
“…… By the way, intimidation business is also offered, right? Xiao Fan was speechless at this superb master.
He smiled dryly, rolled his eyes a few times, and then slipped out of the door.
"Wait! Give me the belly pocket, confiscate it! It's just disrespectful to the old, and it's psychopathic, so old, the girl is enough to be your great-granddaughter, right? ”
Xiao Fan snatched his belly pocket with dignity and glared at Taixu fiercely, "...... Is it original? ”
Taixu: "............"
…………………… He walked to the inner courtyard with too few eyebrows, looking very depressed.
Xiao Fanbai held back his anger for a while, and finally vented it, and his mood suddenly calmed down.
As soon as his mood calmed down, he thought of a very urgent question, should he learn some more advanced martial arts?
The deeper you go into the court, the more you feel that your life is not guaranteed, and there is always a sword and sword shadow under the peaceful appearance. And he will never be able to save his life just by relying on the fingers of his half-hung milk, and it seems that he must work hard to practice more advanced martial arts.
If his martial arts are a little higher, at least he won't be injured today, and a more optimistic estimate is that maybe he will chase and kill King Yan's guards in the front yard of Xiao Mansion today, why would he be injured?
Thinking of this, Xiao Fan's spirits perked up, and he secretly made up his mind to learn martial arts! Be sure to learn martial arts! In order to save your life in the future, you must learn a miracle skill!
The back of the too empty and godless was about to enter the wing, Xiao Fan hurriedly raised his voice and said, "Master, slow down!" I'm looking for you for something......"
Taixu turned around and shook his head, his expression was very depressed: "Amitayus Buddha, the poor road has no belly pocket......"
"Let's not talk about belly pockets, let's talk about martial arts......"
"What do you mean?"
"The apprentice has been very self-motivated recently, and suddenly wants to learn a few advanced martial arts from you, Master......," Xiao Fan smiled flatteringly.
It took a long time for him to react, and then he looked up to the sky and smiled, and there was an indispensable taste of raising his eyebrows in his laughter.
"Why is Master laughing?"
"Hahahaha-belly pocket return me!"
Inside the Imperial Palace Wuying Hall.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were half-closed, and his old face showed a very tired look.
Recently, he feels more and more powerless, after the elimination of Hu Weiyong, Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the thousand-year-old prime minister system, and the affairs of the whole country are decided by the imperial court and the emperor, at that time he has to deal with thousands of copies of the manuscript every day, and he can still deal with it, but now, his physical strength and energy are not as good as before, and he can only pick important state affairs every day to deal with, and other small matters are handed over to Zhu Yunwen for approval, and Zhu Yunwen is ordered to deal with the national prison case.
First, Zhu Yuanzhang wants to reduce the pressure on himself, and second, while he is still alive, he can teach Zhu Yunwen how to govern the country and how to deal with government affairs.
No one is born to be an emperor, the huge Ming Empire, all the appointment and dismissal of officials, the balance of power, farmland grain and mulberry, river labor, border armaments, etc., are complex and cumbersome, all of which must be decided by the emperor alone, as big as the implementation of the national policy of the court, as small as the people dress and eat, these have to be the emperor's heart, if there is no Zhu Yuanzhang to teach Zhu Yunwen by hand, Zhu Yunwen is young, how can he be a good emperor?
Outsiders see the emperor sitting on the dragon chair, enjoying the worship of hundreds of officials and all countries, the scenery is infinite, and the world is alone, but only the emperor himself understands what kind of hard work and fatigue are hidden behind the glamour.
Behind the dragon chair, Zhu Yunwen gently rubbed Zhu Yuanzhang's temples, and Zhu Yuanzhang showed a comfortable look on his face.
"Yun Wei, I heard that King Yan's arm is injured, what's the matter?"
Zhu Yunwen's movements paused, and then continued to rub Zhu Yuanzhang's head, and said softly: "I heard that there was a conflict with Xiao Fan......
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned: "Why is it Xiao Fan again?" What's the matter with this man? Since he entered the court, no matter what happened, it always had something to do with him, and this courtier was inevitably too restless. ”
Zhu Yunwen listened to Zhu Yuanzhang's dissatisfaction, and hurriedly smiled: "Imperial grandfather, this time I can't complain about Xiao Fan, the fourth emperor uncle provoked first, he led the guards to break into Xiao Fan's mansion, I don't know what happened, the guards of the four emperor uncles drew a knife and injured Xiao Fan first, and then the fourth emperor uncle saw that the matter was too big to clean up, so he injured himself to make amends." ”
Originally, Zhu Yunwen wanted to tell the matter of the county lord of Changning, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly thought of the various grievances between Changning and the fourth emperor uncle, if he told the emperor's grandfather at this time, Chang Ning insisted on refusing to return to his ancestors, and it was not beautiful when things were stiff, so Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but didn't mention it.
Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "King Yan injured Xiao Fan first?" ”
"Yes, Imperial Grandfather."
"What's going on?"
"This ...... The grandson doesn't know yet. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed long: "This Di'er, it's too uneasy, it turned out that I saw that he had outstanding military achievements, and he was very commended, but I didn't expect his surname to be so high-flying, and he broke into the house of the minister of the court with his guards, and actually cut the minister...... Did he do the same in Peking? ”
“…… The grandchildren don't know. ”
"Yun Wei, in the name of me, drafted a decree, first, severely reprimanded King Yan, ordered him to think about it behind closed doors and bow down to reflect on himself. Second...... gave Xiao Fan a hundred taels of gold, and there was no need to explain the reason. ”
"Yes."
After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked again: "The marriage between your imperial sister Jiangdu County Lord and Geng Xuan, Qin Tianjian can choose a son?" ”
Zhu Yunwen sighed secretly in his heart, and said: "It's decided, Qintian Prison is choosing two sons, one is the seventh day of the next month, and the other is the eighteenth day of July, both of which are auspicious and feasible to marry." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Then it's set on the seventh day of the next month." ”
Zhu Yunwen was surprised: "The seventh day of the next month? Can...... Imperial grandfather, there are only ten days until the seventh day of the next month, isn't it...... Too hasty? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and shook his head: "Don't be in a hurry, let's go on the seventh day of the first month of next month, and Zhang Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the Zongren Mansion hurry up and prepare to go." ”
There are still four months left in July, Zhu Yuanzhang has been weak and sick recently, he himself doesn't know if he can survive through July, for this eldest granddaughter who has always been loved, Zhu Yuanzhang certainly hopes that before he dies, he can see her marry a good home.
Zhu Yunwen's heart was heavy, and he was full of worries.
Ten days later, the imperial sister and Geng Xuan got married, but ...... Isn't it Xiao Shi who she likes? If the royal sister marries someone she doesn't like, will she still be happy in the future?
"Do you know how difficult it is to be someone else's master?" He stroked his beard and sighed infinitely embarrassed.
Xiao Fan shook his head: "I don't know, I just know that it's not easy to be someone else's apprentice......"
Tai Xuan squinted at him, and snorted coldly: "Poor Dao also came from other people's apprentices, and I didn't think it was easy to be someone else's apprentice." ”
Xiao Fan sighed: "The surname of our apprentices is different, I dare to guarantee, master, when you are an apprentice, your master will definitely not be so lacking in virtue, go to dig up the apprentice's silver, and it will cost three thousand taels as soon as you dig it......
Taixu's face was gloomy, and then he roared a little annoyed: "Isn't it just three thousand taels of silver?" You're a big official in the court, are you so unproductive? Cough twice, the money will come! Stingy! It's not atmospheric at all, and the eyes are open when you see the money...... Wrong, it's not just that you see the money eyes open, you see the money asshole is open, no, you can't call it open, it's just a rage......"
Xiao Fan wiped his sweat and quarreled with the master who made a living by telling fortunes, and he didn't seem to be very wise...... "Master...... Off topic. Xiao Fan hurriedly interrupted Taixu's endless number of falls, and said pitifully.
Tai Xu: "Oh? Off topic? Where did you just go? ”
"You said that it is not easy to be a master, but the disciple thinks so!"
Taixu showed a satisfied smile: "The son can be taught!" If the son does not teach, the father is wrong, the teaching is not strict, and the teacher is lazy...... Look at how much pressure Master is on! ”
The old face of the void floated a little bitter. The gaze becomes deep and deep.
"Teachers, preaching and teaching to solve doubts, silently and selflessly teach what they have learned all their lives to their apprentices, regardless of remuneration, regardless of hard work, cold and summer, rain or shine, just like ...... Just like the oil lamp, it silently ignites itself and illuminates others, and the faster it burns, the faster the oil will be consumed, until the oil runs out and the lamp withers......"
Taixu withdrew his far-reaching gaze and stared at Xiao Fan with emotion: "...... You know how profound Master's meaning is, right? ”
Xiao Fan nodded vigorously with a touched face: "Got it,...... Master is not a fuel-efficient lamp. ”
Taixu: "............"
When he was discussing with Taixu what kind of martial arts to learn to defend himself, there was a commotion at the gate of the front yard.
Then there was a loud bang, Steward Zhang was pushed and staggered, and a slender figure flashed in, rushing towards Xiao Fan in the courtyard.
Xiao Fan's brows furrowed, and his heart became angry.
What's going on with Lao Tzu's mansion? There are always people who break in rudely, could it be that the entire Beijing division is known as Lao Tzu, and this brocade guard is muddy? Whoever wants to bully can be bullied?
In the past, Zhu Di broke through, and now someone broke through, Xiao Fan was thinking about whether to find a way to clean up a few ministers in Beijing and establish his prestige.
The people who broke into the mansion were getting closer and closer, Xiao Fan looked at it, and his anger suddenly turned invisible.
For beautiful women, he doesn't mind people breaking in, not only does he not mind, but he welcomes them.
It was a girl who broke in, she was wearing a palace dress of water lake green, her hair was coiled into two small buns, and her face was very pretty.
The girl ran a few steps with an anxious face, and when she saw Xiao Fan in the courtyard, she immediately showed a happy expression, hurriedly walked in front of Xiao Fan, saluted him, and said crisply: "Maid Moyu, I've seen Lord Xiao." ”
Xiao Fan scratched his head in a daze and said, "...... When have you seen me? ”
Mo Yu: "............"
