41 Weak and powerless, suffocating the alliance under the city (2)
Tiger steps into the door, and the eye is a courtyard. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info the green cypress is green, and the end of the spacious stone road is the main hall, and there are small courtyards on the left and right. According to the guide, there is a main living room behind the main hall, a wing room, a garden, etc., and then a small courtyard behind it, with a back door leading to the back streets and alleys. There are five small courtyards around the main building, enough to house hundreds of servants.
Yun Fan nodded and said to the leader, "Go back and tell Zan Yu that I want this garden, not a temporary residence." As for the compensation, let him send someone to negotiate with my butler. Let's go. β
The main hall is very tall and is mainly used for entertaining, banqueting, gathering, and office. Walk through the hall, through the cloister, and into the courtyard. The front is a small living room, behind the living room is a large quadrangle, the left and right are wings, and the front is the main house of the owner, which is a two-story wooden building. It is not very old, the paint is brightly colored, the wood is compact, and the windows are embroidered satin on a white background instead of window paper, which has not yet been yellowed. There is a garden behind the wing and the main house. Yun Fan didn't care about the house, what he wanted was a long-term stronghold.
As a housekeeper, Pak Fu can be described as experienced and at ease. In a short time, more than 200 people were in their places in an orderly manner.
Everywhere Yun Fan went, the first thing he did was to wash. Without a maid, Yun Fan often does it himself. But after Bai Fu came, he resolutely stopped Yun Fan's unqualified behavior, and temporarily sent a few followers to be in charge. Buckets of water were sent in, and the two elders and leopards were all there. The second elder and the leopard were both forced, and there was a hint of sweetness in their wry smiles.
After washing, the meal was ready. A few people gathered in the dining room next to the small living room, and were about to start eating, when someone came to report that Zan Yu visited.
Yun Fan waved his hand, "Let him go." β
After a while, Sui Hu led two women in, and it was Zan Qing in front of him.
Yun Fan's face was not good, "What are you doing here?" β
Zan Qing's mouth was deflated, and he looked like he was going to cry or not, and said aggrievedly: "I'll send Mingfeng over." β
"Mingfeng." Yun Fan Huo Ran got up, and then noticed another woman, according to the rare appearance of Mingfeng in childhood. The eighteenth year of the female college has changed, and the thin little girl at that time has now become a big beauty, although she does not have the appearance of Zan Qing, she is also dignified and upright, and she is timid.
"Feng'er, are you Feng'er? Haha, I don't even recognize it. β
Yun Fan stepped forward, but Ming Feng stepped back, but immediately stopped, and his hesitant voice was lively, "Brother Fan? β
Yun Fan's appearance has also changed greatly, from more than thirteen years old to nearly twenty years old, which is the period of the greatest change in a person's life. The voice, height, and body shape are completely different, and only the traces of childhood can be seen from the shape of the face.
Yun Fan smiled: "Of course, can I still become someone else." Come on, come and sit, when will you come to Wuzhou? Hey, you're still hanging my mother's sword. β
When Mingfeng heard the last sentence, he no longer had any doubts, threw himself into a pounce, hugged Yun Fan and cried.
Yun Fan was a little embarrassed, although the two were nominally an unmarried couple, they had never had intimate actions. His hands opened, slowly retracted, gently hugged Mingfeng, and patted her back carefully, "Don't cry, don't cry." "The words of comfort are poor and weak.
Mingfeng cried even harder, "I thought... I thought, why don't you go home?" "The word 'you're dead' after 'think' is reluctant to be exported.
Yun Fan comforted: "Isn't it good for me." It's me who is wrong, which makes Feng'er worried. Don't cry, let's go home together. Yun Fan couldn't stop Mingfeng's venting crying, and looked at others helplessly.
Except for Zan Qing, everyone else looked at them with a smile. Yun Fan's heart moved, "Feng'er, my grandparents and sister are here, come, I'll introduce you to you." β
Mingfeng then remembered that there were other people present, and he was suddenly ashamed, and his crying stopped, and he lowered his head to wipe away his tears on Yun Fan's clothes, not daring to raise his head.
Li Yan saw the opportunity to speak out to solve the dilemma, "Mingfeng, come on, we have seen, do you remember me?" "When Li Yan was looking for Yun Fan, he went to Long Danjin, and naturally went to Ming's house, but he didn't show his identity.
Mingfeng was pulled to his side by Liyan, and with Yun Fan's introduction, he gave gifts to his sister, grandparents and Bai Fu one by one. Yun Fan does not regard Bai Fu as his subordinate, and has always been called Bai Lao. Zan Qing was left out in the cold.
Yun Fan asked, "Feng'er, why did you come to Wuzhou?" Are you alone? Only then did Mingfeng remember that there were still people who hadn't come in.
Zan Qing hurriedly replied: "There are still Ming Biao and others outside." β
Yun Fan said repeatedly, "Why don't you come in?" Hurry up, call in. β
The attendants outside immediately went to call people. After a while, a few big men came in, led by a burly man, nearly two meters tall, almost a head taller than Yun Fan, who was one meter eight. Yun Fan was still looking, and the man bowed and saluted: "I've seen Grandpa." β
Yun Fan finally recognized that it was Ming Biao, "Haha, it's you kid." Here's what it's for. He stepped forward and grabbed him, "Biaozi, good fellow, you look so strong." Raised his hand and patted Ming Biao's shoulder, "No, no, I have to settle accounts with Shi Niang when I go back, it's too partial, you see, Shi Niang raised Ming Biao so strongly, like a tiger, my Feng'er is so thin, it seems that all the delicious food at home is for you to eat." β
Where is Mingfeng thin, his body is fully developed, he should be fat, he should be thin, his face is ruddy, and his face is radiant. With the exposure of Yun Fan's identity, the status of the Ming family has risen to the sky, and life is not the same as before, just a gift left by the visitors is enough to enrich the party.
Everyone knew that Yun Fan was joking, and the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed and cordial. Ming Biao was no longer restrained, and let a few people behind him, "Let's see if you can recognize it." β
Yun Fan's memory is extraordinary, and with a little impression, he called out one by one, "You are Brother Zhao, Wednesday, Jiang Wa, stool." Not bad, yes, all of them are high-level. Hey, why are you a jinshi? "I didn't pay attention to it before, I only cared about recognizing people, and suddenly found that Ming Biao was actually a strong man.
Ming Biao said: "Feng'er is still a jinshi." It's all the exercises you left behind. β
"Where do I have any exercises?" Yun Fan was confused.
The active stool shouted, "Tai Chi." β
"Tai Chi?" Yun Fan was surprised. But now is not the time to discuss this, let people add dishes and chopsticks, and talk while eating.
Liu Sanbraid noticed the poor Zan Qing, walked up and grabbed her hand, "What a Peugeot beauty." Come, sit here. Their men's grievances have nothing to do with you, don't worry too much. β
Zan Qing's tears poured out, and he tried to blink and take them back, so he had to bow his head to cover it up and thank him softly, "Thank you, grandma." β
Yun Fan saw Zan Qing sitting, and he didn't say anything when he arrived, reminiscing about childhood anecdotes with Ming Biao and others.
Brother Zhao's name is Zhao Zhuang, the eldest grandson of the old mayor Zhao Qi. Wednesday is the third in the family, called Zhou Tie. Jiang Wa's name is Jiang Jin, and the family expects him to climb to the Jinshi class one day. The stool is called Feng Deng, and he is a carpenter at home, so he is jokingly called a stool. There is not much difference in age between several people, and they are playmates when they were children. There are not so many courtesies in the countryside, several people have never used other names, Yun Fan never calls Ming Biao as his brother, he is called Biaozi, Yun Fan's alias is Fan Wa, and everyone in the town shouts like this.
After a good meal, I finally figured out how they fell into Zan Yu's hands. After seeing Yun Fan, he sent a message to the sect and sent a message to Long Danjin.
As soon as Ming Feng got the news, he immediately wanted to go to Yun Fan. In the past few years, everyone's knowledge has been broadened, and several boys have gone far away. Of course, their far gate is only Longmen Town, which is hundreds of miles away. As soon as everyone discussed, they asked Ming Biao and a few others to escort Ming Feng to travel.
Ming Biao, this kid, don't look at the appearance of well-developed limbs, but his cultivation talent is excellent, after practicing the so-called 'Tai Chi', he actually came from behind, and his grandfather was not his opponent. In the eyes of the countrymen, with him, the number one master, there should be no big problem in terms of safety.
There are not many good mounts, for the sake of speed, only a few of them broke out like this, and they are really Longdan calves.
Zan Yu has to say that he is thoughtful and long-term. The craze for looking for Yun Fan subsided, including the Yun family, who gave up, but he still made people pay attention to Long Danjin's movements at all times, and he never relaxed for five or six years.
As soon as Yun Fan appeared, he noticed the whereabouts of Ming Feng and the others. So he asked people to induce Mingfeng and others to go to Wuzhou, saying that Yun Fan would definitely settle there. These rivers and lakes also fell into the tiger's mouth happily.
Zan Yu also has a back hand in case things can't be harmonized. Ming Biao began to call Yun Fan his grandfather, who was also taught by Zan Yu. If Yun Fan can't cross the Thousand Obstacles Plain, you can imagine the fate of several people.
Yun Fan didn't reveal the truth to these reckless guys, but he was very vigilant against Zan Yu in his heart, and secretly admired that his person could enter the Nine Great Ones and be established as the son of the Zan family, it was really not just based on his identity, he did have his extraordinary.
After a lively meal, Zan Qing still had no intention of leaving. Yun Fan asked, "Why don't you go back?" β
Zan Qing suddenly got up and saluted Yun Fan as a servant, "I heard that Changxing Dong Xin apologized for his sins and waited for his grandfather as a servant." The little woman is also willing to be a servant of my father-in-law, to atone for my brother's sins, and hope that my grandfather will be fulfilled. β
Yun Fan was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Zan Qing thoughtfully, "Zan Yu asked you to do this?" It's really... Hey, I don't have any adjectives. The concubine of the king of the south is a servant, and your Zan family will come by him. β
The reputation is not good, but the Zan family really doesn't care. Not to mention the status of women in Dongzhou, in some areas of Dongzhou, there is even the custom of sending wives and daughters to serve distinguished guests. As long as it can bring benefits, there is nothing that this kind of hero can't do, and this matter is beneficial and harmless to the Zan family.
Zan Yu's plans are far-reaching, and he has already analyzed the current situation. A temporary halt to the fighting is just a trade-off, and that is because of the helplessness of the parties that do not have an overwhelming advantage. Except for the Niyun Palace, which is full of women, none of the other forces, large and small, will stop there. It depends on the methods and strategies of each family, as long as there is a clear difference in the balance of forces, annexation is inevitable.
Now no one can swallow the entire Dongzhou in one bite, and they all retreat to the next best thing and strengthen themselves.
Long Danjin is the heartland of the Zan family, no matter how small it is, it is still a knife if it is not good. Now you can't take it back from any aspect, so find a way to control it. Sending Zan Qing to Long Danjin will also have an excuse to infiltrate.
Zan Yu is naturally not stupid enough to let Zan Qing be a spy, but for Zan Qing, it is logical to send some people to take care of daily life, or set up a Zan family shop in Long Danjin. Putting his hand in the name of righteousness, with Zan Yu's wisdom, he believed that Long Danjin not only could not do anything, but on the contrary, he gained a lot, and it was not even impossible to turn Yun Fan's principality into a vassal of the southern kingdom.
As for Zan Qing, it is very easy for Zan Yu to persuade her, since she admires Yunfan, her brother is happy to fulfill it, but it is not suitable to propose marriage at present, so it is better to go to him first. With Yun Fan's talent position, I don't know how many women will throw themselves into their arms, and they must seize the opportunity, otherwise they won't even be able to get the title of a Ji (the women of the upper-class aristocratic men in Dongzhou are divided into five types: wives, concubines, concubines, servants, and servants according to their status).
said that it was a servant, but in fact, Yun Fan's concept was very abnormal, what equality was advocated, servants and nobles were treated equally, so it was just a saying, he would never let you suffer. Moreover, the younger sister dedicated herself to atone for her brother's sins, and her reputation was not damaged, but was praised. At the same time, making friends with Yun Fan is also very beneficial to my Zhan family's hegemony. This is the best strategy for both public and private purposes.
In this way, what else does Zan Qing have to say, Zan Yu has always been the smartest man in Dongzhou in her mind, of course, now Zan Qing has to add one more Yun Fan in her heart.
Zan Qing lowered his head and replied, "It can't be considered nonsense." First, Qing'er is voluntary, you and my brother are both heroes in the world, Qing'er doesn't want you to be hostile, and second, my second uncle also agreed. β
Yun Fan was amused, "Zan Yu is definitely not your brother." β
Zan Qing replied: "Grandpa is really wrong, my half-brother is the same one, and the other brothers are not mothers." β
"It's really ruthless, it's a shame for him to do it." In terms of age, Yun Fan is also a 'calf', but he has more than 20 years of experience in his previous life, and has a lot of memories of Fenggu, and he has suffered major events for more than half a year, and his thoughts are no longer so simple and naΓ―ve, and he can guess a thing or two about Zan Yu's thoughts.
Yun Fan said: "I don't agree, you go back." He really never wanted to marry Zan Qing, and he could talk to Zan Qing at that time because of their cool personalities, not reserved or twisted, as well as the love of beauty, the nature of men, but it does not necessarily have to rise to the point of possession.
In addition, he is not so clear about the meaning of "servant". The servant is only a little higher than the slave, in addition to not being able to buy and sell, the male master of Dongzhou has the right to take and ask for the maid, and he can give it away.
Zan Qing was sad and wanted to cry, and Ying Ying begged for each other.
Liu Sanbraid couldn't imagine that it was so complicated, she only had one thought, to collect more beauties for her grandson, the more the better, so as to spread out and achieve a brilliant family. Now it's not that there is no commensurate honorable status, so if there is a mistake, I will never let it go, even if Mingfeng is present, don't say that Feng has not yet married, that is, the status of the wife has been determined, and there is no right to beak on this matter.
When Yun Fan was about to speak, Liu Sanbraid ignored it and directly pulled Zan Qing up, "Go, follow me back to the room, follow me first." When he left, he also glanced at Yun Fan, which made Yun Fan cry and laugh.
The Zan family came to discuss the matter of compensation, but Yun Fan ignored it after giving a sky-high price, and always brought Bai Fu to come forward to negotiate on behalf of Yun Fan. As an elder sister, she has the right to represent Yun Fan, her identity is different from that of ordinary women, and she used to be one of the nine great exercises, a high-level spiritual priest, and her status is naturally very different from that of other women. Pafo is in charge of bargaining, which he is not good at.
Yun Fan is not idle, now that he has an idea, he needs to arrange some hand tails. All the visitors, except for the Zhan family, met one by one and had a good conversation. He had a long discussion with Yun Miao, the director of Wuzhou of the Yun family, and Rong Wan, the director of Wuzhou of Niyun Palace, and made preparations for possible cooperation in the future.
