Part 4 The intersection of the knots in the wind
Feng Jinjie was dragged by Fu Bo to go to the yamen to thank him, and he was thrown into the hall as soon as he was busy with business. The left can't wait, the right can't wait, is he a master who waits for peace of mind? The impatient expression on his face was undisguised.
Fauber was afraid that he would stand up and walk away, so he hurriedly took out a small amount of money and stuffed it into the only servant in the hall, asking him to see how long the adults would be busy.
However, Feng Jinjie's patience seemed to be exhausted, and he finally said, "Even if he is very busy, let's come back next time." And he got up to leave.
Fauber knew that this time he was going to go, and there would be no next time. hurriedly went up and dragged on, still glad in my heart, fortunately, there was no one else in this hall, otherwise this pulling and pulling would really make people laugh.
How did he know that there was a prankster big kid hiding in the back hall, holding a large plate of melon seeds in his arms, knocking on it, while peeking at the excitement.
He didn't know, but the wind festival was clear. He has also practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his ears and eyes are far superior to others, not only can he hear the sound of breathing in the back hall, but he can also hear the sound of eating melon seeds clearly.
He was angry, but he couldn't say it in court, he just wanted to leave, but Fuber pulled on it. While he was entangled, he heard the sound of people in the back hall quietly slipping away, and after a while, he heard footsteps coming quickly outside the hall.
He expected that Lu Dongli was coming, and when he was angry, he deliberately said something.
When others heard this, they might think that he was bold, or that he had extraordinary insight, but for him, it was just a vent of anger. For fear of Fuber's nagging, he was not good at scolding, so he had to deliberately say a bunch of specious truths.
He knew that in this era, even the most honest officials still had a pride in their bones that was higher than that of ordinary people. The so-called one parent, the so-called herdsman on behalf of the Son of Heaven. Even if he is a Qing official, he still puts himself in the position of a shepherd, looking down on the common people.
They can accept the people to scold the corrupt officials, they can allow the people to sigh about the corruption of the government, they can let the people resent, but they can hardly bear it, the people regard the officials as people like cooks and tailors, regard being officials as any kind of simple and ordinary profession, and regard their behavior of shepherding one side as the most ordinary business.
The pride in the bones of these Confucian scholars and the contempt for the common people made them inevitably angry when they heard such words.
Feng Jinjie had the intention to say this, but it was just to provoke the guy who let him go during the day, and to see what it was like for this Qing official to be angry.
However, these words were so angry that a person rushed in with a red face. It's a pity that the big boy didn't have time to say anything, and someone outside the hall laughed loudly and walked in.
Because he waited too long, the candlelight in the hall would be dimmed, and when Feng Jinjie raised his eyes, he saw that the person was dressed in green clothes, and he walked calmly from the starry and moonlight place, with a surprisingly young face, a surprisingly comfortable smile, and that surprisingly gentle and calm eyes, he was stunned, and the man had a long look in front of him: "Mr. has been waiting for a long time." ”
As soon as Lu Dongli walked into the hall door, he saw the Wind Festival.
After an hour of waiting, the candle shadow in the hall has dimmed, but the dazzling white clothes are eye-catching in this gloom. The young man in the world likes white clothes a lot, but there are very few people who can wear a simple white dress so freely, as if between heaven and earth, only he is worthy of this piece of noble white.
The lights in the hall were dim, but the man's eyebrows and eyes were soothing, and he was naturally free and calm, but he was in the bottom of his eyes.
Lu Dongli didn't feel that he was long, not like a county order to treat the people, but just a sincere respect for people of insight from the bottom of his heart, and said earnestly: "Mr. has been waiting for a long time. ”
Feng Jinjie on the opposite side seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then instinctively returned the salute.
Lu Dongli did not call himself an official, but said: "Dongli is busy with official business, and he neglects Mr." Sir, please take a seat, and I may apologize. ”
It's all said about this, Feng Jinjie also roughly guessed this waiting at this time, but I'm afraid that this Qingtian lord doesn't know, but has something to do with another big child, thinking back to what he did just now, he feels too stingy, and was about to say a few kind words, but unexpectedly the big boy ran to the guest seat, moved the chair down a few steps, and then led his hand, and said with a smile: "Feng Gongzi, please take a seat." ”
This move first startled Fauber, and he screamed in his heart.
Originally, the chairs of the guest and the host were facing each other on the left and right, which was in response to the statement of the chamber of resistance, but as soon as Lu Dongjue pulled it like this, the chair of the guest seat was pulled to the bottom.
In fact, Lu Dongjue's approach, in terms of etiquette, is not wrong.
The people of this era are the most respectful and humble in their hearts, and the guests are relatively exquisite.
Those who are small in the official will definitely sit down in front of the big officials, and those who are low in rank will definitely sit next to them in front of the people who are in high rank.
Ordinary people don't even dare to sit in front of officials, and it is natural for them to kneel down and knock their heads to the sky with the grace of Lu Dongli who received the grace of the Feng Jinjie, let alone sitting.
In this strict etiquette and rules, if the superior does not follow the etiquette law, people say that he is a virtuous corporal, and if the subordinate ignores the etiquette, others should say that he does not know etiquette and is ignorant.
Lu Dongjue just wanted to use this action that was completely in line with the rules of etiquette to remind Feng Jinjie that he was a businessman, and his status as an ordinary hundred students was far lower and more humble than Lu Dongliang, who was born in the imperial examination.
But Fu Bo, who has followed the Fengjin Festival for many years, naturally knows in his heart that his own master has never been the kind of master who knows etiquette and sensibility.
When he is willing, he can say one set of great truths after another, but in his bones, he has never been a reasonable person. On the contrary, he is self-willed to the extreme, but he can use countless truths to explain his own willfulness
?? took advantage of the trouble, and others were still confused by him, admiring his righteousness
In the final analysis, it was just because he refused to be threatened by Liu Ming, but because he was willful in his bones, he would rather spend ten times more silver and a hundred times the effort than solve the problem in a simple way.
Just such a person, you dare to humiliate him to his face like this, I really don't expect him to do anything?
At this moment, Fu Bo's face turned pale, and Lu Dongli frowned, and was about to reprimand Lu Dongjue, but he heard a long laugh in his ear, Feng Jinjie smiled, but there was clearly arrogance in his eyes: "Lord Lu, there is only the wind of capital crime in the world, but there is no wind and strength to sit on." ”
Fu Bo breathed a sigh of relief, the sun came out of the west, when did the prince speak so well, he didn't have a seizure, but he just expressed his attitude.
He felt that Feng Jinjie was already very polite, but Lu Dongjue felt depressed, and secretly gritted his teeth, he was so crazy, he was really crazy.
This sentence was full of arrogance, and Lu Dongli was stunned at first, and then smiled. He didn't apologize, nor did he scold Lu Dongjue for putting the chair back in place, but he just stepped forward and reached out his hand, but he didn't avoid the signs and took Feng Jinjie's hand.
Feng Jinjie was stunned again, only to see Lu Dongli smiling calmly: "Tonight, the moon is bright and the wind is high, Mr. Yaren, I am willing to travel with Dongli hand in hand, talk about the world, and express my heart." ”
Feng Jinjie glanced at him deeply, and he smiled unconsciously, this county official is really a rare and interesting character.
He didn't shirk his words, so he walked out with Lu Dongli.
Alone Fu Bo and Lu Dongjue stood in the hall in a daze.
Fu Bo looked out, his eyes were a little straight, this county master is really a good person, he has no shelf at all, such an embarrassing situation, his way of breaking the siege is so natural. However, today's son is really easy to talk to. Although he usually has a lot of guests and countless friends, he just laughs and drinks together, except for the beautiful maids around him, he rarely gets so close to people. It seems that Childe's willfulness is only on the surface, and he must still be very grateful to Lord Lu for his kindness.
The old servant nodded with satisfaction.
And the little son of the Lu family is already angry and grinding his teeth secretly.
What is Feng Jinjie, but he is just a country rich man, at best, he is a very rich, handsome country rich man, do you need his eldest cousin to be so polite to him, a lot of tolerance?
I really wanted to jump up, rushed over and pointed at the nose of the rich man and scolded a few words, and remembered the warning eyes of the eldest cousin who glared viciously before leaving the hall just now, so I had to stare in the hall in a loud voice.
One old and one young, two completely different moods, stood in the hall, looking out.
Under the starry moonlight outside the hall, the two of them have a green shirt and a white robe, the green shirt is free and easy, and the white robe is elegant.
I don't know what they are talking about, only the gentle night breeze that brings the clear laughter into my ears.
A long, long time later, when the story of Feng Jinjie and Lu Dongli was made into a legend, when people called them confidants in later history books and folk books, there were a lot of speculations and praises about this night.
Some people say that they sang poetry and sang together this night, and they admired each other's amazing talents, and some people said that they discussed the general trend of the world and the way of rejuvenating the country with business, and each other was overwhelmed by each other's opinions and minds. Some people say that after this night, they have the same heart and ambition, and they will spill their blood with the common people in the world, and they will become friends of life and death, and they will never give up.
However, at that time, on that night with a gentle night breeze and beautiful stars and moons, the door of the Wind Festival was forced by the old servant and was unwilling, and Lu Donglian's reception was because of the prank of the little cousin, who was also unwilling.
The first time they met and walked under the moon, it was just a temporary idea that Lu Dongli came up with because he felt embarrassed by the scene, even if he moved the chair back, it would not look good.
That night, they actually just gossiped a lot.
However, both sides are smart people, who know each other by hearing gossip. They all know that the other party is talented, knowledgeable and capable, but they also know that the ambitions, ideals, and ways of dealing with people on both sides are 108,000 miles apart.
And after that night, Lu Dongli and Feng Jinjie have not seen each other for a long time.
Both sides are busy. Lu Dongli was busy dealing with all the official affairs under Liu Ming's backlog of more than half a year in office, and after the backlog of cases, he still had a lot of official affairs on hand, and he was busy with the most basic things in his duties, and there were still many things that could not be done, but he had to do things that were always beneficial to the people.
Lu Dongli was busy with business, of course Feng Jinjie was busy, he was busy eating, drinking, and having fun, and he was very busy.
Since he was released, all his friends have come to congratulate, and the tenants under his industry, everyone has come to the house to say goodbye, that is, the idle and poor households in the county, and they want to reward money, and they also come to congratulate more.
Outside the Fengfu, there is a lot of traffic. In the Fengfu, the banquet flows, and the flowing water banquet has no end.
Feng Jin Festival is busy drinking wine, eating delicacies, appreciating the singing and dancing of beauties, and enjoying the tenderness of red sleeves. In his spare time, he drank and sang with his friends, wrote poems and paintings, and then listened to a group of Qing guests and idlers, everyone applauded, and praised his poems and pictures as high as the sky.
Or with two or three friends, but with more than ten attendants, dozens of servants, mighty and mighty, playing in the mountains and rivers, enjoying themselves.
His life was colorful and enjoyable, as for the old man Lu Dongli who rescued him from prison and was busy for the people of the county, he was quickly left behind.
