Chapter Seventy-Nine: Moving to a New House
The carriage entered the Beijing division leisurely, and in the distance, on the ancient city wall covered with moss, the two seal characters of "Yingtian" were impressively visible.
In the shaking carriage, Xiao Fan looked at Xiao Thrush with an indifferent face and smiled: "Let's live in this big city in the future, do you like it?" ”
Xiao Thrush's little face burst into laughter, nodded vigorously, and then pointed at Taixu again.
Xiao Fan understood what she meant, and said, "Well, yes, by the way, I will catch the master." ”
It's too empty and full of taste: "Why does Dao Ye think that he is so redundant?" It's like buying hooves and putting two taels of pig's head meat for nothing......"
Xiao Fan hurriedly said very sincerely: "Master is vain, and swear to the sky that he will never treat you as pig's head meat, just with your kung fu, you are much stronger than pig's head meat......"
Taixu nodded, and shook his head again: "Although it sounds a little comforting, why does the more Dao Ye listens to it, the more it tastes?" ”
Xiao Fan turned his head and ignored him, the hundred-year-old birthday star's emotions are fragile and sensitive, and it is appropriate to care more, but don't get used to him too much.
With Zhu Yunwen's brocade-clothed pro-army guards, the carriage entered the city smoothly.
After entering the city, the carriage turned to the right, and after a pillar of incense, it stopped, Xiao Fan lifted the curtain, but saw that there was a very wide street in front of him, the street was paved with bluestone, and there were houses on both sides of the street, the houses did not look particularly large, judging from the specifications of the gate, it was estimated that it was a house with two entrances, which seemed a little old, but full of quaintness.
Zhu Yunwen stood at the door of a newly decorated house in civilian clothes, saw Xiao Fan get out of the carriage, and greeted him and complained: "Why is it so long? I'm about to get someone to rush you......"
Seeing that Xiao Fan couldn't help but look around, Zhu Yunwen was so happy that his eyebrows were gone, and he said, "How about looking here?" I specially helped you find a house, you can live here for the time being, and I will talk about it when I have time......"
Xiao Fan said: "What does it mean to be free?" ”
Zhu Yunwen said with a gloomy expression: "Originally, I found a big mansion for you in Wuyi Lane, but when I inquired, that house was the courtyard of the Fifth Emperor Uncle King Zhou, hum!" You stay here first, and I will definitely find a way to get King Zhou's annex to send you......"
Xiao Fan was shocked: "No need, no need!" It's good here, I don't have the blessing to enjoy the prince's courtyard, so forget it......"
Xiao Fan was really shocked into a cold sweat, he had just entered the Beijing Division, and he almost offended the prince inexplicably, he was wronged!
Zhu Yunwen snorted: "How can that be done?" King Shu of Zhou Kaifeng, there is already such a big fief, and he doesn't come often in Beijing, why does he occupy such a good place? No way! I've got to get it for you, I can't get him cheap! When he doesn't have a fief one day, I'll give him a bigger mansion in Beijing. ”
Xiao Fan was shocked, Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou, was quite virtuous, and he did a lot of good things in terms of water conservancy, rent reduction, and agricultural work after the opening of the domain, but after Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne in history, he made a policy of cutting the domain, and the first vassal king to use the knife was the king of Zhou, should it be ...... Because of that big house, right? The poor prince of Zhou also confessed...... "Thank you for your care, grass people...... Uh, now it's time to be called a minister, there are few people in the minister's family, and he can't live in such a big house, so it's good, it's good, and the minister will live here in the future, and don't move anywhere else......"
"This can't be done, in the future, you will marry a wife and have children, and spread out for your Xiao family, will the children and grandchildren be crowded into such a small house? Don't worry, I will definitely help you get that big mansion, it's spring, seeing that the vassal king is about to enter Beijing to come to the court, when the time comes, I will personally ask the five emperor uncles to come, forgive him and don't dare not give it, otherwise when I ascend the throne, the first one will cut his feudal ......"
Sure, it's because of this.
This hapless boy!
Xiao Fan glanced nervously left and right, and saw that the Jinyi pro-army was guarding from afar, and there were no living people around, so he frowned and said: "Your Highness, even if you are the identity of the grandson, you must be cautious when you speak, whether you want to cut the domain or not, this kind of thing can only be buried in your heart, and it cannot be declared, and it is the right way to slowly draw it in the future. ”
Zhu Yunwen smiled nonchalantly: "You are the person I believe, and there are no outsiders around, tell you what is the matter......
No outsiders? Do you think all of them are loyal? I don't know how many pairs of ears are supporting to listen to your words, this guy is still too simple...... Xiao Fan saw that Zhu Yunwen looked unrepentant, he couldn't help but stare at him, and as soon as he raised his right hand, he was waiting to give him a blow to split Huashan and make him wake up.
Zhu Yunwen saw Xiao Fan's color change, and knew that something was wrong, so he covered his forehead very quickly, and then jumped back a big step, shouting in his mouth: "I was wrong, I was wrong!" Don't hit anyone......"
Xiao Fan smiled, this guy was really beaten down.
Zhu Yunwen was obviously not interested in taking Xiao Fan to visit this small old house, and explained a few words to Xiao Fan, asking him to go to Chunfang to order a book after the morning was dispersed the next day, and then apply for the waist card.
After explaining, Zhu Yunwen led the pro-army guards away.
Xiao Fan squeezed his eyes at Xiao Thrush and said with a smile: "New home, new atmosphere, the door of our house will be pushed open by you, and it will be a good start, and it will be auspicious." ”
Xiao Thrush nodded excitedly, jumped forward, and stretched out his hand to push open the door of his new home.
After the door opened, the three of them were taken aback, and saw a group of people standing neatly inside the door, old and young, men and women.
Under the leadership of an old man, everyone respectfully saluted Xiao Fan and the others: "I've seen the old lady, the master, the lady." ”
Xiao Fan and the three of them were so frightened that they took a step back together, and Xiao Fan hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, we went to the wrong door......"
The old man led by him stepped forward and said with a smile: "The lord is not wrong, when His Royal Highness Taisun bought this house, he hired an old man to be a housekeeper for the master, and also bought a few miscellaneous servants, maids to serve the master's family, His Royal Highness the grandson said, the house should be expensed, all by the East Palace." ”
Xiao Fan's heart warmed, it was difficult for Zhu Yunwen Emperor Sun Guixuan, but he was so careful and thoughtful in doing things, he should be better to him in the future, at least try not to beat him.
The old man bowed down and said: "The old man's surname is Zhang, if the old man has anything to do in the future, just tell the old man, and the old man will do his best to do it properly for the master." ”
After speaking, Steward Zhang led the handymen and maids to kneel down and kowtow to Xiao Fan, which was regarded as officially recognizing the master.
Then Steward Zhang got up and said to the maids: "Don't you hurry up and carry your wife into the inner courtyard, you must serve the old man's family wholeheartedly in the future, if you are negligent, be careful of your flesh and skin!" ”
The maids stepped forward tremblingly, holding Xiao Thrush's arm left and right, and quietly moved towards the inner courtyard.
Xiao Fan opened his mouth with difficulty: "Hey, she's not my ......"
Before he finished speaking, he saw that Xiao Thrush's face was tense, and he deliberately pretended to be a majestic woman, but his eyes revealed joy and pride in the title of "Mrs.", Xiao Fan's heart softened, and he sighed, forget it, Mrs. is Mrs., the little girl has been with her for so long, there must be an explanation, right? What is the name of the lady if you don't call it? Sister? Such a beautiful little Lori, she will be a beautiful woman in a few years, how can she be a girl? Madam! Just Madame, a must!
Taixu stepped forward and said with a wicked smile: "Poor Dao has already calculated that you will have good luck today, you see, when you enter Beijing as an official, you will immediately have a house, not to mention these many servants, but also pick up a lady for nothing......"
Steward Zhang bowed down and said with a smile: "The master has worked hard all the way, whether to enter the inner courtyard to rest for a while, the old man will give the old man and his family Zhang Luo food, and it will be fine immediately." ”
Xiao Fan nodded, and went straight into the inner courtyard, but saw that the Xiao thrush in front of him was supported by the maids, and her little head was raised higher and higher, and her nostrils were facing the sky.
"Load! Pretend to be a pot-bellied woman again, and I'll beat your ass and bloom! ”
Xiao Thrush grinned, shook off the maid, and ran away in the blink of an eye.
Early the next morning, Xiao Fan officially wore a six-grade official uniform, ordered two miscellaneous servants to lead the way, and took a carriage to Chunfang.
Chunfang is on the west side of the East Palace, it is the place where the crown prince of the previous dynasty studied and studied, it belongs to the Hanlin Academy, the guards outside the Chunfang are strict, and it is controlled by the Beijing camp under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Mansion of the Left Army.
After entering the Spring Workshop and passing through a bamboo forest, I saw a rather exquisite palace, where Zhu Yunwen studied.
There were eunuchs guarding the pavilion outside, and when they saw Xiao Fan coming, the eunuch led Xiao Fan in.
It's the middle of the day, the lecturer who is teaching has not yet come, Zhu Yunwen is sitting behind a scroll bookcase, there are all kinds of snacks and snacks on the bookcase, he is eating with relish, seeing Xiao Fan coming, his eyes lit up, and he beckoned: "...... Have you eaten it? ”
It is really a familiar and warm greeting, and it is estimated that this sentence has become a common greeting phrase for Chinese people for hundreds of years.
Xiao Fan said: "I didn't eat it." ”
"Didn't eat a little ......"
"Do you have mixed sauce noodles?"
"No, will the meat muffins be made?"
"That's it."
The greeting procedure is over.
Xiao Fan took a big bite of the meat muffin, and the two of them ate happily.
There was a cough outside the door, most likely because the lecturer was here, Xiao Fan and Zhu Yunwen hurriedly sat upright.
As soon as the light at the door dimmed, a middle-aged man wearing a four-rank official uniform walked in slowly with his beard stroked.
When Xiao Fan saw it at first glance, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then his face was full of resentment.
Zhu Yunwen sat next to him, leaned over and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Xiao Fan stared at the middle-aged man and said, "Do you remember the last time I played against Your Majesty, and two middle-aged uncles demolished my platform?" ”
"Remember, what's wrong?"
"Didn't you also say that you would help me beat him up when you met him in the future?"
Zhu Yunwen nodded fiercely, "Yes!" Hit him! ”
Xiao Fan smiled, pouted at the middle-aged uncle above, and whispered, "Do you see the guy above?" He's one of them, and we'll find all the sacks and sticks later, find a place where no one is, put the sack on his head, and ......."
Xiao Fan made a smacked motion.
"Huh?" Zhu Yunwen was dumbfounded, and then shocked: "Beat him? No, absolutely not! He can't be beaten......"
"Why can't he beat him? Didn't you say you wanted to help me? Xiao Fan was unhappy.
Zhu Yunwen cried and said with a sad face: "Master Manjing, you can beat anyone, but you can't beat him......"
"Why?"
"Because this official is Huang Zicheng, the official of Chunfang, and His Royal Highness Taisun and your teacher, this official can beat you, but you can't beat this official."
I don't know when, Huang Zicheng has quietly stood in front of the two, slowly brushing his beard and replied, although the movements look elegant and calm, but his hand brushing his beard has trembled slightly, I don't know if he is angry with Xiao Fan, or happy because of Xiao Fan is such a good student.
Zhu Yunwen hung his head and echoed: "...... Yes, too. ”
