Chapter Ninety-Five: Making a Chance Encounter
Hearing this, Song Yifeng also followed Mu Liancheng's gaze, and sure enough, he saw Liang Yushu, who had only met not long ago, standing in the alley opposite, talking to the little beggar who was squatting on the ground in front of him.
"What is he doing?"
Then, I saw Liang Yushu take out a piece of silver from his sleeve, stuff it into the little beggar's hand, and rub the little beggar's head with a smile, and walked away.
The silver was the one Song Yifeng bought the painting before.
"Sure enough, he is a gentleman, a rare good man." At this moment, Song Yifeng was full of praise for Liang Yushu, and he said to the two people beside him with a proud face: "How is it?" I'm not wrong, am I? ”
Mu Liancheng didn't react, Feng Qingfang just sighed silently, Liang Yushu had already sold his paintings for silver, it stands to reason that he should have gone home a long time ago, how could he still be wandering around here?
Apparently he was waiting here on purpose, maybe it was just a joke.
What is the truth, just ask Qin Luo when the time comes.
After a while, Liang Yushu walked out of the alley, and Song Yifeng walked over happily.
"Brother Liang, you have donated the only ten taels of silver on your body to others, have you ever thought about what you should do?"
"Song Gongzi." Liang Yushu arched his hand, "I saw that the little brother was lonely and had not eaten for a few days, so I couldn't bear it, so I wanted to help, but I didn't think so much, I ...... I'll figure it out when the time comes. ”
Song Yifeng teased: "Do you want to paint another painting to sell?" ”
Liang Yushu smiled embarrassedly, and suddenly noticed the suspicious gaze of a girl not far away, and quickly lowered his eyes.
"That's it, the ten taels of silver, even if I donated it to that little brother," Song Yifeng took out another ten taels of silver and generously handed it over, "These ten taels are the reward for my paintings." ”
"How does this work?" Liang Yushu waved his hand again and again, refusing to answer anything, "Isn't Childe going to be ashamed of doing this?" Childe should take it back. ”
Song Yifeng saw him twisting like this, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, so he immediately lowered his face and said, "Since Your Excellency refuses to accept it, then I am embarrassed to ask for your painting, you can take it back." ”
"This ......" Liang Yushu was in a dilemma, and after thinking for a long time, he finally accepted the silver, "When I raise enough money in the next day, I will definitely return it to my son." ”
Song Yifeng As long as he accepts his help now, he doesn't care about the rest.
"Whatever you want."
After the two parted, Song Yifeng returned to Mu Liancheng and Feng Qingmad.
"If this person can successfully go to high school and be used by the imperial court, he will definitely become a pillar of the country in the future."
Mu Liancheng quickly poured a basin of cold water: "A good heart may not be able to do things, and a good literary talent may not necessarily have the talent to govern the country, it is too early to draw conclusions." ”
In his opinion, employing people must first talk about talent, and then talk about morality, besides, this Liang Yushu may not be virtuous.
"I said, His Royal Highness the Prince, why do you look down on Liang Yushu so much? I don't know where this prejudice comes from, three girls, tell me, did he deliberately go against me? ”
Song Yifeng is childish when he is serious, and he is a child when he is not serious, which makes Feng Qingqing can't help laughing.
"I'm sorry, I'm on His Highness's side this time, although I don't know Liang Yushu either, but everyone is multifaceted, you've only seen him twice, how do you know if he's good or bad? I advise you to observe for a period of time, and don't introduce it to Mrs. Song, lest he scold you for not knowing anyone. ”
This guy has a big nerve, and Liang Yushu made such an obvious encounter, he didn't suspect it at all.
Song Yifeng snorted and said, "Forget it, the two of you sing and harmonize, I can't say it, what happens to the horizontal and vertical Liang Yushu will be revealed in the future." ”
No matter what Feng Qingmad and Mu Liancheng said, he still insisted on his opinion, so as soon as he returned to the mansion, when he learned from his subordinates that Song Taifu had returned to the mansion, he immediately took Liang Yushu's painting and went over.
When Song Yifeng walked into the study, Mrs. Song was sitting in front of the bookcase to deal with government affairs.
"Daddy."
Mrs. Song raised her head slightly, changed to another official document, and said lightly: "I'm back, is there something wrong?" ”
"I went out today and met a scholar, quite talented, and I asked for a painting from him, and I wanted to show you." Song Yifeng unfolded the painting and put it on the bookcase.
Mrs. Song stopped his pen, glanced at his son who was proud of the spring breeze, and picked up the painting to look at it carefully.
"Xiaoshan Night Rain ......"
Song Yifeng didn't dare to disturb his father's appreciation, so he just stood aside and didn't say anything, silently observing the changes in his old man's expression.
"This painting and calligraphy is really good, the painting is good, the poem is even better, especially the small seal of this hand is beautifully written, it seems that the person who painted this painting is indeed good."
Mrs. Song praised without hesitation, and a pleased smile appeared on the old man's face, "What's this person's name?" You said that he was a scholar, could it be that he was a candidate for this year? ”
Song Yifeng replied: "Yes, it is the candidate, named Liang Yushu, said that he is from Yunzhou, because he was exhausted, he had to paint this painting to exchange money, and today I met him by chance on the street, I saw that he was talented and well-behaved, so I bought his painting and wanted to help this future pillar of the court." ”
"Liang Yushu ......" Song Taifu stroked his beard and nodded, "With this person's talent, even if he can't enter the top three, he must be the top three, if he is really good and has political talent, he is a malleable talent, Feng'er, you can pay attention to this person in the future." ”
"Yes, I will." Song Yifeng felt that his father's vision was the most in line with him, so he turned around and walked out of the study with the painting.
In the evening, Feng called Qin Luo back and asked him about Liang Yushu.
"When Liang Yushu was selling paintings on the street today, you followed him in the dark, right?"
Qin Luo nodded and said seriously: "Yes, the girl asked me to protect him secretly, how dare I be disloyal to my duties?" ”
"Is that really his painting?" Feng Qingfang's face was puzzled, now she not only doubted Liang Yushu's character, but even his talent was a little unoptimistic.
"The painting is indeed made by him, I have seen him paint with my own eyes, and there will be no fake." When Qin Luo said this, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and hesitated, "However, he didn't go to sell paintings because he had no money, and today's encounter with Song Gongzi was actually not accidental, but he had planned it a long time ago." ”
Qin Luo replied, "Sure enough. Feng shook his head wildly, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, Song Yifeng admired this person so much, if he knew that people were planning to use him to get close to Song Taifu, I don't know how he would feel.
After thinking for a while, Feng asked again, "Who has he been in contact with during this time?" ”
"He tried his best to get close to a few officials who presided over the scientific expedition in the DPRK and China, but he couldn't see those big officials with his own eyes, and he only had some contact with their relatives or subordinates, and sent a lot of money out."
"And after that?"
"There was no response after that," Qin Luo shrugged, picked up the apple on the table and gnawed on it, "It's not that I said, the little money he gave out is not enough for those big officials, the other candidates are all sent tens of thousands of taels and hundreds of thousands of taels, where can people value his money?" ”
"Having said that, Liang Yushu is just a poor and sour talent, and he shouldn't have so much money, but I did the math, he sent a little bit from the east and a little from the west, adding up to tens of thousands of taels, which is really strange."
That was all Feng Qingyun's savings...... Feng Qingyun couldn't help but feel sympathy for Feng Qingyun, she had saved money for so many years, and it was just like that.
"In this way, Liang Yushu had no way to serve elsewhere, so he turned around and set Taifu Song as a target."
However, as the prince's teacher, Song Taifu's vision is not ordinarily high, and I heard that Song Taifu is indeed very talented, but he is upright, and he hates favoritism and fraud the most, even if he likes Liang Yushu's literary talent, he will not do anything from it.
Besides, if he learned that Liang Yushu had used money to bribe officials, he was afraid that he would dislike this person, let alone promote him in the future, it would be good not to suppress him.
From this point of view, Liang Yushu did so many things deliberately, but in the end he was busy in vain.
"Girl, you don't seem to like Liang Yushu very much, and you don't know him well, so why do you want me to protect him?" Qin Luo looked at Feng Qingfang, his beautiful face full of puzzlement.
Before, he was worried that the Lin family would be unfavorable to Liang Yushu, so he asked Qin Luo to protect him, but now that the Lin family has gone to the family temple, he can't set off any more wind and waves at this stage, so he doesn't need to protect it anymore.
However, Feng Qingyan had a new task to hand over to Qin Luo.
"From today on, you will be responsible for secretly monitoring Liang Yushu, if he is in danger, of course you will come to the rescue, if he has any inappropriate behavior, you will tell me."
"Does the third girl suspect that Liang Yushu will do anything bad?" Qin Luo raised his eyebrows and asked.
Feng said with a solemn face: "It's not counted, he's just a scholar now, he can't do anything, I think this person is not simple, and he needs to be observed." ”
After all, Feng Qingyun is the sister of the original owner, and now she has a good relationship with her, just if she doesn't meet her, if she does, she should pay attention to her, and she can't watch her marry a person with bad character in the future.
Qin Luo said distressedly: "Okay, then I'll continue to stare at Liang Yushu, and if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asks, the third girl will have to speak for me." ”
Feng lightly patted her on the shoulder and said with a smile: "If he blames you, you will put the blame on me, saying that I forced you to go, isn't it?" ”
The next morning, Feng Qingfang went to Feng Qingyun's yard.
When she entered, Feng Qingyun was sitting under the porch drinking tea and reading a book.
"The third sister is here, come and sit down, I'm also thinking about going over and talking to you."
Feng walked over frantically, took a seat across from her, and glanced at the book in her hand, as if it were a collection of poems by some poet.
"It's the Duanyang Festival in a few days, and the palace banquet in the palace must be very lively, will the big sister go?"
