Fang Yingwu arrived at Li Dongyang's mansion, entered the hall to meet him, and after saluting, he asked directly: "I heard that the teacher is going to take leave and return to his hometown?" ”

Li Dongyang sighed, "I don't want to be like this!" There are some things that are powerless to stop, and I can't bear to see them, so I just avoid them, as the so-called out of sight and out of mind! ”

Fang Yingwu persuaded with a straight face: "When my generation acts, we should face the wind and frost sword, and uphold our hearts until the last moment." What does the teacher think? ”

Li Dongyang asked rhetorically: "You came here today to persuade me?" Well, then wait until you really have time, and it's not too late to return home! ”

Li Dongyang is also a delicate character, thinking that this side has always been accurate, and it is definitely not untargeted to persuade himself today, and he will not lose anything by listening to it, it is nothing more than leaving a few days later.

Fang Yingwu said: "The teacher has always been a role model for students, I heard that the student was going to be recommended to the East Palace, and he became the teacher in the same class, and then I asked the teacher to give advice." ”

Li Dongyang only sighed when he heard this: "Where can I teach you anything, it is still difficult to know how the fate will be in the future." ”

In front of Fang Yingwu, Li Dongyang didn't have too many division commanders. First, Fang Yingwu has a strong father; the second is that Fang Yingwu himself is also famous in the government and the opposition; The third is that the East Palace is about to fall apart, what else is there to pay attention to; Fourth, he, Li Dongyang, only became a room tester of Fang Yingwuhui, not a more noble teacher.

However, Li Dongyang didn't understand why Fang Yingwu was close to Li Dongyang if he was close to Xu Puruo, the main master of Xinchouke in the seventeenth year of Chenghua. Even if you only look at the official position, Xu Pu, who is only one step away from entering the cabinet, is more developed than him Li Dongyang.

Thinking of this, Li Dongyang said with emotion: "Chenghua has been a seventeenth year of Xin Chouke. There are fifteen people in this room, but you are the only one who has come to the door recently. ”

Fang Yingwu, who successfully burned the cold stove once, said with a smile: "There are still many laypeople in the world. The teacher doesn't have to mind, he has his own time in the market. But the teacher is a hospitable person with a wide open door. The literati of Jingshi are all proud to get to know their teachers. ”

"There are rumors that Liu Ge has the idea of retiring from his family?" Li Dongyang suddenly asked thoughtfully.

"This rumor is not credible." Fang Yingwu said righteously: "I have delayed the daughter of the Liu Mansion for several years, so I naturally have to be responsible for it to the end, how can I live up to the beauty for life?" ”

Li Dongyang regretted that he would have done it earlier.

After chatting with Li Dongyang for a long time, Fang Yingwu said goodbye. If the crown prince is sure that he will not be deposed, but Li Dongyang is not in Beijing, it is called unlucky; He stopped Li Dongyang from leaving. At that time, presumably Li Dongyang will remember his benefits again, and he will not say anything.

After that, Fang Yingwu returned home, and just sat down to drink tea, but someone from Liu's mansion came, and it was rumored that Liu Mian invited him to come over tomorrow, and there were some things that needed to be discussed.

Fang Yingwu frowned and thought about it, Liu Mian probably wanted to find himself for advice, such as how to attack Yin Min. But Fang Yingwu didn't want to go. He is not fit to be too aggressive right now.

First, his own weight is too light, his father has been demoted, and he is an alternate official of the East Palace who is about to hit the street in the eyes of everyone, and the consequence of being light is often that the initiative is small. The effort is not proportional to the benefit.

Second, it's better to keep a low profile now. Of course, if you don't let yourself keep a low profile for objective reasons, then there is no way, people can't help themselves. In the past, there have been too many things that subjectively wanted to be low-key, but in the end they were forced not to be low-key

Third, I want to take a shelf, and I can't let Liu Mian feel that he is too easy to be moved. In the past, I was too attentive and casual to give Liu Mian ideas. As a result, Liu Mian did not cherish it very much, and this degree must be mastered.

Besides, Fang Yingwu's resentment against Liu Mian has not been completely eliminated. So Fang Yingwu asked Wang Ying to go to the front to pass the word to refuse, saying that he was not in good health and was inconvenient to go out - this excuse for refusal was not easy to find, whether it was to say that there was something else or to directly say that he wanted to keep a low profile, he could only excuse himself if he thought about it.

sent away someone from Liu's mansion, but it didn't take long for someone to come again and bring an invitation. This made Fang Yingwu very curious, who would openly invite him now?

If it was placed in the past, it would have been normal for the Fang family to receive invitations, but today is different from the past. Not to mention those snobs who see the wind and steer the rudder, even like-minded people will not meet casually during such a sensitive period, so as not to invite accidents.

Opening the invitation, Fang Yingwu glanced at the person's name, and couldn't help muttering: "Qingyun Hou Zhou Shou? ”

It turned out that tomorrow was Qingyunhou Zhoushou's birthday, so he posted a post to invite Fang Yingwu to be a guest - to be honest, this way of inviting people is very nonsensical, but it is also in line with the nouveau riche characteristics of the Zhou family.

It is said that this Zhou Shou's status is precious, and he is the sibling brother of the Empress Dowager Zhou, the biological mother of the Son of Heaven, and he has never had a good reputation. To put it simply, he is insatiable and arrogant, and has been impeached and attacked by civilian officials, and is often caricatured in private as the biggest nouveau riche in this dynasty.

And the Fang family has the identity of Lin Qingliu, and rarely has any dealings with Xun relatives, and has never dealt with the Zhou family, but unexpectedly Fang Yingwu received such an invitation today. Therefore, Fang Yingwu was very strange in his heart, and after thinking about it, the only connection between himself and the Zhou family might be the current prince.

The Empress Dowager Zhou is the actual guardian of the current crown prince Zhu Youji, or the protector of Zhu Youji, and has a deep relationship with Zhu Youji, so the Zhou family is an absolute princeling, not to mention that the estrangement and contradiction between the Empress Dowager Zhou and Wan Guifei's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are very deep. And the father and son of the Fang family, not to mention, are iconic figures of orthodoxy and morality, and the wolf who was tossed for the matter of the East Palace is unbearable.

Fang Yingwu didn't know what would happen if he went, but he knew that if he refused, it would be not to give Zhou Shou face, after all, Zhou Shou specially placed an invitation, and if he refused, it would be a slap in the face.

After careful consideration, Fang Yingwu replied to the post and said that the day would come. There was nothing to say all night, and the next day Fang Yingwu went out after washing, and asked Wang Ying and Fang Yingshi to follow and mention the birthday gift.

The Qingyun Marquis Mansion is in the northwest of Jingshi, covering a vast area, which is not comparable to the general Wenchen mansion. The road in front of the house was already full of people at this time, and the people who came to pay their respects almost filled the streets and alleys.

Inside the gate, there was a gentleman in charge of the register, Fang Yingwu stepped forward to return the invitation, and presented the birthday gift for registration, and then a servant wanted to lead him to the door.

At this moment, a large-scale instrument came from the procession to the gate and dropped the sedan chair, and then a vermilion-robed member flashed out of the sedan chair. The well-informed people immediately recognized it, who is this not the second assistant Liu Ge Lao?

Liu Mian raised his head and stepped forward, just in front of Fang Yingwu, who had not yet left, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and quickly stepped forward and pointed at Fang Yingwu and said, "What a child, is this your poor body and difficult to move?" Is there no distinction between distant and close relatives? ”

"Uh" Fang Yingwu didn't expect that the birthday scene of Marquis Zhou would be so big, and even Liu Mian was invited. He was accused by Liu Mian on his head, and when he came back to his senses, he thought of something, and asked rhetorically: "Old Taishan, you said that you want to discuss things with me, but I'm afraid it's not honest enough?" ”

"Uh" Liu Mian was embarrassed for a while, he didn't know that Zhou Shou actually directly invited Fang Yingwu for this small role. Originally, he wanted to take Fang Yingwu as a follower, and use the fame of the Fang family to help him fill the façade (to be continued......)

PS: It's not that I didn't keep my word, but I fell asleep when I was almost finished...... I woke up at two o'clock in the middle of the night and hurried to make up for the update. In addition, there are a lot of plots to write, and I don't know where to start, so I have to think of where to write, so don't be confused!
