Chapter 501: Revisiting the Old Place (I)
There was nothing to say all night, and in the early morning of the next day, Fang Yingwu woke up early and moved his legs and feet in the yard. He stood in the promenade, doing radio exercises while admiring the surrounding rockeries, flowing water, flowers and trees.
I have to say that there is a set of Suzhou man-made gardens, and in the places where Fang Yingwu has lived in his life, the garden scenery of this mansion will definitely be ranked first. It's the end of summer, and the assignment will probably end next spring, so it's a pleasure to be able to stay here for most of the year.
was thinking wildly, but saw Wang Ying come to his side, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped. Fang Yingwu ended this set of broadcast exercises, wiped his sweat and said to Wang Ying: "What are you holding back early in the morning?" If you want to say it, say it quickly! ”
Wang Ying hurriedly spoke: "The banquet in Suzhou Mansion is scheduled for tonight, and there seems to be no official business before?" All of you are coming to Suzhou Mansion for the first time, and you all want to see the world, so ask me to ask, I wonder if Lu Dao can let them out? ”
I see, Fang Yingwu suddenly realized. If strict discipline is really necessary, Fang Yingwu should be compared to the system of patrolling the imperial history, and there are many prohibitions.
But he is not a patrol after all, so there is no need to be so rigid. This is Suzhou Mansion, and it would be too inhumane to hold all the subordinates in the temporary government office on official business.
Fang Yingwu waved his hand in his heart and said: "This official is not so unkind, there is no official business left and right, they can go out to play in the past two days!" If you don't want to participate in this banquet tonight, you don't want to force it. ”
Wang Ying smiled: "I'll go and tell the officials, I think they will also be grateful." ”
After breakfast, Fang Yingwu had nothing to do in the mansion, so he changed into a scribe's robe. A fashionable Tang scarf was buckled on the top of his head. Then he called the two entourages of Ying Shi and Wang Ying above and quietly went out of the back door of the mansion to play.
Ever since he became a chincha. Fang Yingwu is a highlight-sighted person wherever he goes, and it is rare to have such a comfortable time. After all, not many people on the streets of Suzhou know him. The three of them walked away with the flow of the crowd, talking and laughing, walking all the way, and before they knew it, they were out of the gate.
Outside the gate, there are several water systems intersecting, to the south is the moat, to the west is the Shangtang River all the way to Fengqiao, and to the northwest is the line of Shantang Tiger Hill.
Walking across the Wulong Bridge where the five rivers converge, Fang Yingwu suddenly remembered something. Stretched out his hand to build a pergola on his eyebrow bone, stared into the distance, and sure enough, he saw a rather tall three-story building standing by the river in front of him. There are restaurant signs fluttering in the wind on the building, but the distance is too far to see the words.
Retracting his gaze, Fang Yingwu said to the two friends: "It's almost noon, let's go to the restaurant in front of us for a full meal!" When I first went to Suzhou Mansion six years ago, I ate there a few times, and maybe I could catch up with my hosts. ”
Wang Ying and Fang Yingshi don't care, just follow Fang Yingwu. Arrived at the door of the restaurant. Wang Yingcai raised his eyes and looked at the door plaque, which read the three big characters of Wangjiang Tower.
Fang Yingwu stepped into the lobby, did not respond to the greeting of the little guy in the hall, and looked towards the counter first. But he saw two people standing inside. Among them was a middle-aged man dressed in silk and wearing a Dongpo hat, who was pulling the beads of an abacus at this time.
Fang Yingwu has already recognized that this middle-aged man is Tang Guangde, the owner of this place. That is, the famous Tang Bohu father in history.
When Yingwu first came to Suzhou six years ago, he had several dealings with Daddy Tang. Thanks to Daddy Tang's hospitality, I have eaten a few meals in vain. I didn't expect six years to pass. Daddy Tang also opened a restaurant here.
Fang Yingwu stepped forward and knocked on the counter and shouted, "Tang Yuanwai!" I haven't seen you for a few years, but I still have the same demeanor, but I still know the old people! ”
Tang Guangde raised his head and looked at Fang Yingwu very stunned, he only felt that Fang Yingwu was very familiar, but he didn't remember who it was for a while. After all, Fang Yingwu was only sixteen years old six years ago, and now Fang Yingwu is twenty-two, and his temperament has changed a lot.
However, Fang Yingwu's performance was too amazing at the beginning, and a rural boy suppressed the younger generation of Suzhou scholars with a raised hand, Wang Quan, Zhu Yunming, Yang Xunji and others were all defeated, making Suzhou scholars disgraced and gloomy, which was extremely impressive.
So after being stunned, Tang Guangde recalled, patted his forehead and shouted: "It turned out to be Fang Fang Fang Gongzi!" Please go upstairs first! ”
The setting of this Wangjiang Building is very distinctive, ordinary people are on the ground floor, the rich and powerful are on the second floor, and the scholars can go to the third floor, which shows that Tang Guangde likes to make friends with the character of the readers.
Then Tang Guangde personally led Fang Yingwu to the third floor and chose the location near the window. Fang Yingwu saw Tang Guangde's diligent help to pull and arrange the dishes, and said: "Just call the little guy in the hall to come and say hello, don't dare to work outside the Tang people!" ”
Tang Guangde wiped his sweat, "Fang Gongzi is here, and the small shop is shining, how dare you not be unsatisfied." But did Fang Gongzi come by himself? The old man knows that his identity is not enough to entertain guests, can he let the dog come to accompany him? ”
Tang Guangde's son is Tang Bohu, and Fang Yingwu asked with interest: "What age is Ling Lang this year?" Can you ever be enrolled? ”
Tang Guangde said with a smile: "It's fifteen this year, and I'm still studying, and I'm probably going to take the exam this year and next year. If it is convenient for Fang Gongzi, he can teach a lot of lessons. ”
Fang Yingwu said: "I can't talk about advice, but I heard that Ling Lang is very talented, and he will definitely be a rising star, so it's okay to call them to chat together." ”
Tang Guangde was overjoyed, "Thank you Gongzi Fang for appreciating the light!" Lao Yu also heard that "Song of Tomorrow" is Fang Gongzi's masterpiece, and Lao Yu is willing to make a pen and ask Fang Gongzi to leave Mobao, so as to motivate the dog to make progress. ”
Fang Yingwu waved his hand and said, "It's just a few words, it's okay!" Tang Guangde went down, and while arranging wine and food, he asked the little maid to call his son to accompany the guests.
Fang Yingshi sent Tang Guangde downstairs, and the other party said: "Brother Qiu'er has a big face, it seems that he is going to eat and drink for nothing today." ”
Fang Yingwu sighed: "It's nothing more than pity for the hearts of parents in the world!" This Tang member is so attentive, most likely it is also to pave the way for his son. He is just a businessman, and he wants to send his son to Shilin, can he not do his best to socialize with scholars? ”
In history, among the so-called four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River, only Tang Bohu was born in a merchant family, but he was able to make friends with Zhu Zhishan and Wen Zhengming, who were born in official eunuchs, and it is difficult to say that there is no role of Tang Guangde.
But besides, if Tang Yin wants to take the Xiucai exam in the past two years, he can really help. Because at this time, Nan Zhili mentioned that the scholar had a lot of relationship with him, and arranged for a showman to be captured.
Wang Ying looked around and said, "Six years ago, Brother Qiu, it was here that you forced several very famous young people in Suzhou Mansion to collapse, and then became famous in a battle?" ”
Thinking about the scene when Zhu Zhishan and Yang Xunji were ravaged by themselves with their golden fingers when they were young, Fang Yingwu couldn't help but smile, "It's all about the past, don't mention it!" (To be continued......)
