Chapter 748: Suspicious
After this shout, Wan Shoufu felt a tragic feeling gushing out of his heart, he no longer just wanted to rectify Fang Yingwu, but saw this as a struggle against fate.
Wan Shoufu has such an illusion, that party should be like stepping on the general trend, every move represents the way of heaven, and the general trend is invincible. Looking back, Fang Yingwu seems to have stepped on a crucial node with every step, constantly messing up his own major affairs. Instead, he is a person full of tragedy, sinking and struggling in fate.
But he has worked hard all his life, is it just a stepping stone for those who come after him? He was unwilling to accept such a fateful arrangement, nor did he want to serve his old age, let alone look at Fang Yingwu's scenery.
If he was ten years younger, how could there be a place in the court, and if fate was so unfair, he would have to go against the sky once! I have to say that there are too many things that the seventy-year-old Shousuke can't let go, and he has fallen into another obsession.
Immediately dug up the first assistant and poured ink, personally wrote a number of invitations, and sent the servants to send them one by one. The people who received the invitation were all Wan Shoufu's henchmen, and looking at the invitation, they couldn't help but be surprised. Because according to the convention, when Lao Shoufu wanted to summon his henchmen, he only needed to send a servant to call out, and he didn't want to be so solemn this time, so he even wrote a handwritten invitation.
It is precisely because of this unusualness that everyone does not dare to be contemptuous, let alone pretend to be deaf and dumb, and the old Shoufu personally wrote an invitation, which means that it cannot be refused. Once refused, it is a break with the old Shousuke.
Although tomorrow's sun has determined that there is someone else, it is still necessary to pay attention to the present, if it angers Wan Shousuke. Whether or not you can see the sun tomorrow is a question, and looking up at the stars is indispensable to keeping your feet on the ground.
So press the invitation time. Everyone rushed to Wanfu on the evening of the second day, and none of them could not find an excuse. There is a time for this. And why displease the very sensitive Wan Shoufu for a little problem?
During this time, Fang Yingwu was fully busy with marriage, and he didn't have any extra thoughts on Wan An. Fang Yingwu knew that this Shoufu was about to reach the end of his rope.
Even if you don't do anything, you will automatically get out of the way as soon as you reach Wan'an, and you just need to wait for this time to come. In this case, it is likely to be less wrong, more wrong, and not good.
However, in his busy schedule, Fang Yingwu still found time to meet his stand-in Zuo Changshun, and specially set up a banquet for Zuo Changshun. I also invited a few friends to accompany me. This is human nature, Zuo Changshun is kind to himself after all, and he can't leave a cold and ruthless reputation on it.
Speaking of which, Zuo Changshun is just a down-and-out literati with no fame, reduced to proofreading manuscripts in the Zhongyi Bookstore of fellow villager Yao Qian for a living, and occasionally ghostwriting some words. This identity is very far from Fang Yingwu, and Fang Yingwu's battle today is enough to express his great gratitude.
Fang Yingwu solemnly invited Zuo Changshun into the upper seat, and thanked him: "Mr. Gaoyi, instead of suffering from punishment." In the fifth sense of the next inscription, I don't know how to repay. ”
"Fang Gongzi's words are serious, why worry about the effort of raising his hands, and besides, I don't get nothing." Zuo Changshun smiled heartily. "I am a drifting person who can't study, and I live in the world without a name, and Fang Gongzi has the hope of the world. It's not the same as my generation.
I came forward to prevent the disaster for Fang Gongzi this time, but it took a little hard work. But he won the respect of the Jingshi people as a righteous man, and he became a celebrity for a while. It's like a fish leaping over the dragon gate. At this point, what more can the husband ask for? Maybe it should be me who in turn is grateful to Fang Gongzi for giving me the opportunity to become famous. ”
Zuo Changshun said interestingly, everyone couldn't help but laugh a few times during the banquet, it does mean so much, the person who stood up out of "righteous indignation" is not a righteous man?
Xiang Chengxian interjected: "I can't say that, the future of this matter is unclear at first, and I really want to thank Mr. for taking the risk and coming forward, especially when our friends can't help." ”
Fang Yingwu nodded approvingly, Xiang Chengxian was right. Previously, he needed a "fake" stand-in, and his friends were obviously not suitable, and it was impossible for a person like Xiang Dayushi to throw away his official position and pretend to be crazy and stupid regardless of it.
Therefore, this can only be done by a small person, and a small person can also be used by a small person. At that time, the situation was unpredictable, and the risks were also extremely high, but I was afraid that Zuo Changshun's heart was not as easy as he said.
Yao Qianyao, the owner of Zhongyi Bookstore, was also at the banquet, and Zuo Changshun was recommended by him to Fang Yingwu, and he also smiled at this time: "Mr. Zuo is acting as a substitute for Fang Gongzi this time to do hard labor, don't worry about the future, and serve with peace of mind." When the punishment is over, a qiē package will be wrapped around us, and Mr. Zuo will not be embarrassed. ”
Fang Yingwu raised his glass when he heard this: "Mr. Zuo is especially grateful for the hard labor he endured in Xiagan. But he is not an ungrateful person, and he will be rewarded in the future. It is said that it is three years, but in fact, it may not have been such a long wait. ”
"You and I are both fellow villagers in Zhejiang, it is normal for people to help each other, why do you need to see Fang Gongzi, I am fortunate to be able to help the son above." Zuo Changshun hurriedly raised his glass and replied.
This person's conversation is not bad, and his mind seems to be sober, no wonder Yao Qian would recommend this person to take on the role of a stand-in, Fang Yingwu secretly thought, maybe he can use it around him in the future.
In this banquet, everyone was under no pressure, so they were naturally relaxed, and after half a day, they dispersed, and then continued to be busy with their own things.
Fang Yingwu was agitating for the marriage, Xiang Dagongzi continued to hear about it, Yao Yuanwai was pondering a new way to make a fortune, and Zuo Changshun was escorted to the street hall as a prisoner to start his life as a substitute.
On this day, Fang Yingwu was about to go out to Liu's house to communicate with Liu Mian about the wedding, but as soon as he walked to the gate, he was blocked by Xiang Dayushi who came in a hurry.
But seeing that Xiang Da Yushi's face was grim, the other party shouted: "Brother Fang Xian! There's something big! ”
Fang Yingwu knew that Xiang Dayushi had a problem of liking to make a fuss, so when he was bluffing again, he asked indifferently: "There is nothing big about it recently?" What is it that makes you so flustered? ”
Xiang Chengxian didn't joke with Fang Yingwu, twisted his eyebrows and said, "Do you know that Zuo Changshun is dead!" ”
He's dead? Fang Yingwu was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "How could he die?" ”
Xiang Chengxian replied in detail: "The imperial history of the Nancheng patrol city personally told me that I heard that when the flood ditch was dredged in the southern suburbs yesterday, Mr. Zuo accidentally fell into the water and drowned before he could save him. ”
Fang Yingwu was in a trance for a while, the person who was talking and laughing with Yan Yan a few days ago heard the news of his death today, how could he be embarrassed. What's even more puzzling is whether this happened by accident or was it deliberately artificial? (To be continued......)
