Miss Wang Liu helped Wang Shu back to the house, she was also a little puzzled in her heart, and couldn't help asking, "Why is my father's attitude towards the other party different today?" It's not like usual to treat it as a foolish child. ”

Wang Shu looked at her daughter suspiciously, did she really care so much about Fang Yingwu? I can even perceive the change in my attitude towards the other party.

Seeing that her father didn't speak, Miss Wang Liu asked again: "I heard that the house slave said that Fang Yingwu was in the limelight today and helped his father a lot?" ”

Wang Shu snorted coldly, "It's more appropriate to say that it's rhetoric." ”

Miss Wang Liu's protector earnestly defended: "Fang Yingwu is a little smart and willful, but in fact, his nature is not bad, my father said it. ”

Wang Shu couldn't help but comment: "Young people are easy to be too superstitious about skills and tricks and lose their hearts, I think Fang Yingwu has this tendency." ”

Miss Wang Liu was very worried, "How can that be?" ”

Wang Shu replied a little weakly: "So I told him to leave Suzhou Mansion, and now this acre and three points of land in Suzhou is no longer suitable for him to continue to stay." ”

Miss Wang Liu lowered her head and thought about it, and pleaded with her father: "Why don't you ask your daughter to go north with him to find Qingzhilangjun?" ”

Want to go all the way? Wang Shu said angrily: "Nonsense! What is this system? Ask Fang Qingzhi to take a vacation, and go south to get married! ”

Then he instructed: "The old man is going to Tiger Hill in the next few days, and you go with your father." ”

Miss Wang Liu was very strange, why did her father suddenly want to go to Tiger Hill? But her father had a life, and she didn't dare to disobey.

Wang Shu's reason is very simple, it is most likely to have an accident when parting, and it must be strictly guarded. He secretly sighed in his heart: "The old man can do it for you." And that's all there is to it. ”

However, he said that Fang Yingwu was confused by Wang Shu's rebellion, and when he returned to his residence, it was already dark.

He called Fang Yingshi and Wang Ying's two entourage. Commanded: "Pack your bags tonight and tomorrow, and buy equipment for the journey." Rent a boat to sail north. ”

Wang Ying asked, "Want to leave Suzhou Mansion?" ”

Fang Yingwu nodded, "Yes, if you are ready tomorrow, you will continue to go to the capital the day after tomorrow." ”

Wang Ying deeply regretted the business model he had developed, and sighed: "The business of selling poetry is still very promising, so it's a pity to break it." ”

Fang Yingshi couldn't see his wealth obsessiveness, and said sarcastically: "Jingshi is bigger than Suzhou, and there are more dignitaries and nobles, maybe the price is higher." And it's far away from Suzhou. The same poem may be sold again. ”

"Great idea! It is precisely this reason, I can't imagine that Brother Ying Shi also has a bright head! Wang Ying praised, full of eager fighting spirit.

After the two entourages argued, Fang Yingwu took stock of his gains and losses in Suzhou. was detained by his cheap grandfather for nearly half a month, although he delayed the time to go north and affected himself to support his father, but Seong knew that it was a blessing to lose his horse, and gold always had to shine.

Suzhou has become an economic center and is destined to become a cultural center in the future. It is currently on the eve of this cultural and artistic explosion. He left a trace and made a reasonable criticism of Wu Chinese's poetry art, which is also stained no matter how you look at it. Maybe you can mix up the name of a pioneer.

Moreover, he greatly showed himself in front of the local gentry and magnates, and he had all his face--with the noble sentiments of the king and the lord. I don't think I'm greedy for my own merits.

In the southeast where money and grain are the most important, persuading the local tyrants to pay taxes evenly and appease the people, this is a big thing, and it is a real merit!

It would be great if it could be reported to the imperial court and recorded in the merit book of the Imperial Palace. As a showman, he is also half of the system, and he is qualified to be recorded. If you can enter the sea in the future. With this as the foundation, the starting point will be higher.

and the next day. The search for the boat did not go well, and the departure date was postponed by another day. When Fang Yingwu was waiting for a long time, Miss Wang Liu asked the maid to bring a letter and a package, both for her father.

Although Fang Yingwu was very curious why Miss Six didn't show up, he didn't think much about it.

The next day, at dawn in the early morning, Fang Yingwu and his party said goodbye to Governor Wang, and then went out to the water wharf. At this time, it was still early, and they were the only ones on the water's edge.

Fang Yingshi and Wang Ying first carried the suitcase cage to the ship, and then it was time to board the ship and set off. There is no one around to send it, so Fang Yingwu will not be used for poetry to meet the situation, which can be regarded as saving a little resource.

Syllable! As soon as Fang Yingwu closed the fan, he was about to raise his leg and guess the board to get on the boat, when he suddenly heard someone shouting: "It's not Fang Gongzi in front!" ”

Fang Yingwu turned his head to follow the voice, but saw a man and a woman more than ten steps away, both of whom were about forty middle-aged people, dressed in very shabby clothes, and all of them were coarse cloth clothes.

Fang Yingwu looked at it carefully, making sure he didn't know these two people, what were they doing here? Fang Yingwu pointed at himself suspiciously, "The surname is indeed Fang, are you shouting below?" ”

The middle-aged man stepped forward and said excitedly: "Today, I learned that Fang Gongzi is going to travel far away, and the younger husband and wife are here to see them off." ”

Fang Yingwu was even more puzzled, if there were a few beauties and famous prostitutes, or restaurant shopkeepers, or scholars and literati who were impressed by him, it would be understandable.

These two seem to be either farmers or hired laborers, and they don't know each other, and they have nothing to do with their own eight poles, why did they come to see them off? It's inexplicable.

The middle-aged man bowed deeply to Fang Yingwu, "The little couple makes a living by renting official land outside the gate, and they plant ten acres of land every year. It's just that the official rent is too heavy, and the pain is unspeakable, and he has to pay six or seven stones a year, and the rest is less than enough food for a family of six.

The day before yesterday, I heard that Fang Gongzi spoke up for us and other small people, and refuted the big households in this house, and I heard that the master of Futai wanted to adopt Fang Gongzi's words, and this year's official rent will be reduced by two buckets per mu, and the previous arrears will be exempted.

In this way, my family's ten acres is two stones, just one more person, the small one can't speak, and I don't know how to thank him. I only knew that I had to come to see off Fang Gongzi, and I couldn't let Fang Gongzi feel that the people of Suzhou were not grateful. ”

Hearing him say that he was farming in Fengmen, Fang Yingwu was very surprised. Suzhou City is a big city, with a circumference of forty or fifty miles, and where I am located is the Changmen Gate near the northwest. But he came from the east side of the gate, which is not close. Maybe I'll get up on the fourth watch.

I also heard him say that it was because he proposed to reduce or reduce official rents and put forward feasible proposals. and refuted the big opponents, so when he came to thank him and bid farewell to him, Fang Yingwu was a little moved.

What a simple man! Fang Yingwu thought silently.

He didn't know what to say, he did a little good deed, although the purpose was more complicated, and he was not a direct favor to others, but he didn't expect that someone still remembered it in his heart, and personally rushed over to thank him in person. This kind of gratitude is really flattering.

While talking. The middle-aged woman in the back also stepped forward and took out a bamboo basket, which contained more than a dozen rice balls, all carefully wrapped in lotus leaves.

The middle-aged man pointed to the bamboo basket, "The small family is poor and can't be repaid, so I had to make more than a dozen rice balls overnight for Fang Gongzi to eat on the road." ”

Fang Yingwu was even more moved, a dozen rice balls were nothing, but maybe they were saved by their family from a few days' rations. There is a lot of affection in it.

He sighed and tried his best to excuse himself, "How can this be done? How can I take away your rations, how can I bear it in my heart! ”

The middle-aged man was in a hurry, and said with a red face: "Gongzi Fang doesn't accept it." Don't you dislike the small? ”

Fang Yingwu repeatedly excused himself, and the middle-aged man forced the bamboo basket into Fang Yingwu's hand.

Fang Yingwu had no choice but to let his entourage collect the bamboo basket. And he gave the fan in his hand to the middle-aged man. "It's also in the next little thought, it's not worth much. Take it back as a souvenir! ”

An ordinary fan is really worthless, and the middle-aged man accepted it very happily.

Then Fang Yingwu felt that he couldn't bear the other party's gratitude. I had to nod and say, "I'm leaving, please stay!" ”

The boat sailed away from the shore, getting farther and farther away from the pier, until it turned along the waterway, Fang Yingwu could still see the middle-aged couple standing on the shore and waving frequently.

He suddenly thought that he had taken stock of the gains and losses in Suzhou Mansion, and he had taken stock of the gains and losses for his personal interests, but he had never taken stock of this aspect.

Did you ignore it intentionally or unintentionally? Or do you have shortcomings in your own thinking? Or is it out of the ground?

However, the true feelings of the people from the bottom of their hearts, it turned out to be so touching Fang Yingwu estimated that he would never forget this incident in his life, and he had never encountered this kind of thing in his two lives combined.

When Fang Yingwu used to do research and look at historical materials, he didn't believe that when the Qingtian magistrate left office, there would be things where the people and the officials would cry against each other, and he always felt that it was too fake. Like the umbrella of the people and the plaque of merit, these records are deliberately praised and exalted.

Now it seems that the historical records may not be all artistic exaggerations, didn't I have a feeling of excitement just now?

In Suzhou City, in the lobby of the governor's line, Mr. Wang Shu sat behind the public case, stroked his beard and sighed: "There is only so much that the old man can do for you." ”

The person who knelt in front of Wang Shu and replied was none other than the middle-aged farmer who saw Fang Yingwu off

Fang Yingwu was in Suzhou Mansion this time, and there were only ten days before and after, and he came and went quickly, but he left a deep impression on the people of Suzhou. It's still the same sentence, a meteor-like teenager.

When Zhu Zhishan's father-in-law, former Shaoqing Li Yingzhen, and Wen Zhengming's father, former Zhixian Wenlin, were drinking, they commented: "Fang Yingwu definitely has a future, there is no doubt about it." If Zhu Yunming can have half of him in the future, he will be worthy of the spirit of his father and ancestor in the sky. ”

Wen Lin laughed and said: "This is too exaggerated, who dares to say that the road to fame is full?" Township test 30 to take one, will try to take 1 out of ten, Ren is a genius dare not say that he will be able to win. ”

Mr. Li shook his head, "You can broaden your horizons, even if the business of that party is not successful, but do you think that with his clever intelligence and handling skills, he is afraid that he will not be able to find Bole, and he can be a guest of honor!"

How much money do you think it would cost to get such a staff member? As long as there is a little experience, it will not be a problem for the superintendent to compete for heavy sums of money in the future, and then the power may not be small. ”

Wen Lin was silent, and had to admit that it made sense. (To be continued.) )
