Li Yuanchen took the opportunity to point out Fang Congzhe, and he behaved very casually, without the slightest pretentiousness. When Yue Su heard this, he really thought that Li Yuanchen was motivated.

"The name of the boss of the Fang Pavilion, the foolish brother has also heard of it, but he has never met him. Moreover, when the elder Fang Ge was presiding over government affairs in Beijing, the foolish brother was still in Guizhou, which was very regrettable......"

Fang Congzhe's fame, of course Yue Su had heard of it, as a court official, if he didn't even know Fang Shoufu's name, wouldn't it make people laugh. It's just that when Fang Congzhe presided over the cabinet, he didn't know what his political achievements were.

Then, Yue Su continued: "Brother Xian is not in the temple, why do you know so much about the old man of the other pavilion?" ”

"When Fang Ge Lao was the Guozi Eunuch's sacrificial wine, Tian Yi, the eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch Bingpen, once went to the door for his nephew and wanted to arrange people to enter the Guozi Prison, but he was sternly rejected by Fang Ge Lao, thus offending the eunuch. For this matter, Tian Yi later found an opportunity to embarrass the elder in every possible way, and the elder reluctantly resigned and went home. During the years in Fuxian's home, the elder of the pavilion traveled in all directions, and when he passed through Wuchang, he became acquainted with his father. My Li family is rich on the first side, naturally concerned about the changes in the situation, and my father is very appreciative of the old man's personality, so he intersects with each other, and the old man also feels the sincerity of his father, and is willing to hand it over. After a few years, the situation of the court changed again, re-entered the court as an official, and finally entered the cabinet to worship the prime minister, and was alone for three years, supporting the Ming Dynasty with his own strength. To tell the truth, the younger brother called Ge Lao his uncle, and he admired Ge Lao a lot, and originally wanted to gain fame, emulate Ge Lao, and be loyal to the country. However, he is the only son in the family, and there are many industries in the house, and after a hundred years of his father, he needs to be taken care of by his foolish brother, so he can't enter the office. Alas......"

In the end, Li Yuanchen sighed again.

What he said was not all untrue, Fang Congzhe was indeed made difficult to go into the wilderness because he offended the eunuch Tian Yi when he was the prince of the country to oversee the wine. And the Li family was able to make friends with Fang Congzhe, but it was not that Fang Congzhe traveled in all directions, and everyone got acquainted with Wuchang. But Li Wenzhang's eyes were vicious, and he saw that Fang Congzhe was definitely not a thing in the pool, and he spent a lot of money and tried his best to make friends. Moreover, Fang Congzhe was later able to enter the court as an official again and enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, among which the Li family also made a lot of efforts. didn't spend less money, and bought the spokesman to help.

From ancient times to the present, big businessmen have supported politicians, and that is everywhere. Only in this way can they stand tall and receive greater assistance, which is called political investment. Of course, there are risks associated with investing, and it is all up to your personal vision.

"I didn't expect Elder Fang Ge to have such deeds, he is not afraid of eunuchs and is dedicated to the country, which is really admirable. I just don't know, where did Fang Ge go after Lao Zhishi? Yue Su said with emotion.

"Alas......" Li Yuanchen sighed again: "When it comes to the return of the old man to his hometown, the little brother is sad. The elder of the pavilion is dedicated to public service, but who would have expected that the Donglin party members would use the red pill case to fight against the same party, weave the old cabinet charges, and force the old cabinet to be the official, this is really a crime that wants to be added. Ge Lao has now returned to his hometown in Zhejiang, and his father often has correspondence, the foolish brother has heard his father talk, saying that Ge Lao has a lot of feelings about the current situation, hating the Donglin Party and the eunuch party to mislead the country and harm the people, but regret that he is far away from the rivers and lakes, and he is powerless. Brother Yue, as soon as I talk about this, the foolish brother has something that should not be said, I don't know ......"

As he spoke, Li Yuanchen looked at Yue Su.

Yue Su said with a smile: "Although the virtuous brother is outspoken, the foolish brother listens. ”

"That's the case, the current situation in the DPRK is complicated, the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party have made trouble in order to seize power, and the decisive battle between the two parties is imminent. The elder brother is a lonely minister, dedicated to the country, but he has made too many enemies, but in the end, whoever can win the two parties and hold the power will finally make a move to the elder brother. It's better for my brother to prepare early, so as not to make a mistake and fall into a place of no return. Li Yuanchen said movingly.

Especially when the word "lonely minister" was mentioned, the tone was slightly emphasized, as if he had a deliberate reminder of Yue Su.

Yue Su nodded and said, "What Brother Xian mentioned is that Brother Fool is indeed a lonely minister, but Brother Fool is indeed His Majesty's lonely minister. Speaking of this, he rushed to the north and said: "The foolish brother is blessed by the emperor's knowledge and reuse, and he only wants to do his best for the emperor, and he will prosper the Ming Dynasty, as for whether he is a lonely minister, it doesn't matter." ”

Li Yuanchen had long expected that Yue Su would be like this, after all, now, the conflict between the two parties has not been too involved in Yue Su's head, and Yue Su can still be left alone. What Li Yuanchen has to do now is to remind you that when you feel the crisis, you will remember what I said, and it will not be too late for you to form a gang again.

He bowed his hand to Yue Su and said, "The elder brother is benevolent and righteous, loyal to the monarch and loves the people, which really makes the younger brother admire." The words of the right person are that the younger brother is too worried, and the elder brother must not mind. ”

"Where, where...... Is this also a kindness from the virtuous brother..."

The two exchanged politeness again, and Li Wenzhang finally came back. Actually, how could this old guy ever go out of the house, but he has been playing chess with Fang Congzhe in the West Courtyard. Seeing that the time was about the same, the son had already done everything he wanted to say and do, so he came forward.

After showing his head, he first asked his subordinates to prepare wine and food, and then mentioned the things that Yue Su said yesterday about buying food and winter clothes. I just said that I have said hello to my friends in the business, and everyone will help together, and we will definitely prepare all the required materials in the shortest possible time.

After dinner, Yue Su said goodbye and returned home, he naturally did not mention Li Qiongying, took the guards, and walked directly. On the way back to the house, it was still rare to see people, and when he passed by the restaurant at the entrance of the Fuya Street, he took a look inside again and found that there were still a lot of guests, twenty or thirty.

"It seems that the business of this house is really good, I won't go to the Li Mansion tomorrow, and I will take Aoyue and them to lunch."

Having made up his mind, Yue Su returned to the yamen and entered the back house, but there was no one in sight, but he vaguely heard the sound of the piano coming from the garden.

At home, Du Shi Niang played the piano well, tactfully like a yellow warbler, and the same was true of the sound of the piano in the garden, thinking in my heart, maybe Shi Niang was in a good mood today, enjoying flowers and playing the piano in the garden with Aoyue.

With such an ear blessing, Yue Su was willing to miss it, and walked towards the garden. When I walked through the Moon Gate, spared the rockery, and walked to the Peony Pavilion in the depths of the Meihai Sea, I finally found the source of the sound of the piano. It is indeed Du Shi Niang who is playing the piano.

It's just that by Du Shi Niang's side, in addition to Ruan Aoyue and Mei'er, there seem to be two more people. Looking at these two people, Yue Su was taken aback. These two people are none other than Li Qiongying and the maid Lan'er.

"Why did they come by themselves......" Yue Su rubbed his eyes, realizing that this was not an illusion.

At this time, I suddenly heard a person say: "The master is back......"

The one who spoke was Mei'er. Then, I heard Lan'er say, "Say hello to Lord Yue." ”

"Husband, you're back." "Sir, you're back." ...... "Brother Yue...... Hee-hee...... I came to see my sister-in-law myself......" Finally, Li Qiongying laughed triumphantly.

Why did Li Qiongying come uninvited, it all started with the note that Li Yuanchen handed her. The content of the note reads, "Sister, my father is now out, if you want to go to Brother Yue's house, take this opportunity to leave quickly." I've set up the porter so that they don't pass it on, and I've prepared a sedan chair, so you can set off as soon as you get to the door. ”

Li Qiongying read this passage, how could she not be happy, she ran to the gate with Lan'er, and saw that someone had prepared a sedan chair, and the porter did not stop her, it was the first time she slipped out of the house with such fanfare. However, how could she know that this was basically a bureau set up by her father and younger brother, and Li Qiongying was placed in Yuesu's mansion first, anyway, Li Qiongying had already lived there in Yuesu for a long time, and it would not be bad to live for a while. Then, wait until Fang Congzhe's return to the dynasty is completed, and then Fang Congzhe will ask the emperor to give him a marriage, after all, the daughter of the Li family has been in your Yue's mansion for so long, how to marry someone in the future, if you want to marry or not, it will not work. As long as the emperor gives marriage, it will be a supreme glory, not only does no one dare to make irresponsible remarks, but even the prestige of the Li family will be raised to another level.

Now that everyone is here, what can Yue Su say, squeezed out a smile, and said: "I originally wanted to talk to your sister-in-law after returning home, so as to prepare and prepare, but I didn't expect you to come by yourself." That's good, that's good......"

When he said that, he secretly complained bitterly in his heart.

Ruan Aoyue was open-minded, and said with a smile: "Husband, I didn't expect the Li family's sister to be so cute when she changed into women's clothes. If she hadn't reported her name, I wouldn't have believed that this big beauty was the handsome 'Li Ying' brother at the beginning. ”

"No, Miss Li is so beautiful, and Lan'er is also very good-looking. Hee-hee, Lan'er, I really wish you could stay in our house for a while longer, so that you can also help me with some housework. The old man is the most picky, and the maids and servants arranged by the Kaifeng prefect have been sent away, and the work in the back house is actually done by me alone. If it weren't for the fact that Tie Qi always helped me ......."

Speaking of this, the little girl hurriedly gagged her mouth. His face flushed, and he hung his head.

This girl is also familiar with Yue Su, seeing that Yue Su is amiable, she even lets herself serve it when she eats at home, so she mixes and mixes, and she is also familiar. Some jokes, dare to say it. However, Yue Su never blamed her for this, and sometimes made up a joke or two, and the little girl became more and more bold, and she didn't treat herself as an outsider.

"No......" Lan'er originally had a smiling face, but as soon as she heard that she was going to let herself work, she immediately turned into a bitter gourd face.

It was Li Qiongying who laughed and said: "What's not going to be, don't you just do some work, everyone Mei'er can do it, why can't you do it." I really can't do it, you won't go to the golden cicada for help. ”

"Miss......" This time, Li Qiongying said Lan'er's thoughts in front of so many people, and Lan'er was so ashamed that she almost didn't find a crack in the ground to get into.

Yue Su also laughed and said, "Who said that your master slammed the door, today I saw a good restaurant, tomorrow I will invite you to go and have a hard meal, and you can order whatever you want." Then he will also call the golden cicada and the iron chopper. Lan'er girl, do you say it's good......"

"Good ......" Lan'er was just about to cheer, when she found her young lady staring at her with a wicked smile, and quickly lowered her head and stopped talking.

People say that three women in one play, this is really true, although there were three Ruan Aoyue, Du Shi Niang, and Mei Er in the back house, but Du Shi Niang and Ruan Aoyue are both mature and stable, not like Mei Er girl like to mess around. But now, with more Li Qiongying and Lan'er girl, it's different. Lan'er is almost the same as Mei'er, they both love to talk and make trouble, and Li Qiongying, a young lady who can dress up as a man, will not be a gentle girl, but also a clever and lively trickster. The identity was announced first, and the three girls who like to mess around get together, and they can not be lively.

Long before Yue Su returned home, the three of them had already joined forces, and they just started to pretend in front of Yue Su, and after a while, they laughed again. Mei'er talked about it with a tie, Lan'er ridiculed each other, talked about the golden cicada, and Li Qiongying also joined in the fun, which was really a laugh.
