Chapter 332: The Beauty of Adulthood
Feng Jing still had important business in the afternoon, so he couldn't accompany the Su family and his son, and it happened that Fan Ning and the Su family hit it off at first sight, so he asked Fan Ning to entertain the Su family and his son for him, and he resigned and returned to the court first.
Seeing Feng Jing leave, Su Xun showed a hint of disappointment in his eyes, he originally wanted to get to know Xiangguo Fubi through Feng Jing, Feng Jing left, it is estimated that it will be no fun to know Fubi.
Su Shi understood his father's thoughts, took a sip of tea and said lightly: "Father, according to the original plan, let's go to Jiangning early tomorrow morning!" ”
After Su Xun met his old friend, he originally planned to go to Jiangnan early tomorrow morning, but he heard that Feng Jing's father-in-law who he once knew was Xiangguo Fubi, and he couldn't help but have some ideas, can he ask Feng Jing to introduce Fu Xianggong for his two sons.
In the Great Song Dynasty, learning is important, but connections are equally important, connections mean fame and relationships, otherwise even if you are admitted to Jinshi, you have no connections, you have to be an alternate official first, and you don't know how many years it will take, just like Su Shi, if there is no Ouyang Xiu's connections, how can he have a chance to become famous in the capital.
Su Xun knew this very well, so he found Feng Jing according to the address Feng Jing gave him in the past, Feng Jing invited their father and son to lunch, and brought them here to drink tea.
Su Xun understood what his son meant, so he nodded, "Then let's leave Beijing according to the original plan!" ”
Su Zhe didn't say anything, just lowered his head to eat refreshments, and he was really a little disappointed in his heart.
Fan Ning saw the loss in the eyes of the father and son, so he smiled and asked, "Uncle originally had something to do?" ”
Su Xun smiled bitterly and said: "I originally wanted to ask Feng Guanren to introduce the rich minister, but now that I think about it, I am embarrassed to trouble others, after all, it is the minister, how can I have so much time to meet ordinary people?" ”
Fan Ning suddenly understood that Feng Jing's departure had cut off the hope of the father and son.
What Fan Ning admired most in his previous life was Su Dongpo in front of him, and he also wanted to find a chance to make friends with Su Shi.
He thought about it for a moment and smiled, "It just so happens that I'm going to visit a Shibo in the afternoon, why don't we go together?" ”
"I don't know who Brother Fan Xian is going to visit?" Su Shi asked curiously.
Fan Ning smiled faintly, "Ouyang Xiu! ”
........
Coming to Ouyang Xiu's mansion, Su Shi kept sorting out his clothes and crowns, he looked a little nervous, he didn't care much if he didn't see Fu Bi, after all, Fu Bi only represented power, but Ouyang Xiu was different, that was the leader of the Great Song Dynasty literary circle, the star and guiding light that these literati admired very much, how could Su Shi not be excited and nervous.
Fan Ning saw Su Shi's nervousness, so he smiled and said, "Brother Zizhan, don't be too excited, in fact, I haven't seen Ouyang Shibo for several years, and I don't know if he is at home now?" ”
Su Xun didn't follow, he went back to the inn first, and only let his two sons follow Fan Ning to see Ouyang Xiu, Su Xun is more sophisticated, he is old, and visiting Ouyang Xiu will make it difficult for people, unlike young people, you can participate as a gift to younger generations, and it's not good to go too many people.
Fan Ning came to the gate of Ouyang Mansion, the gate was covered with a crack, Fan Ning shouted, and immediately walked out of it A person who looked like a housekeeper, he looked at Fan Ning, it seemed a little familiar, but he couldn't remember, the two young people behind him definitely hadn't seen it.
"May I ask what is the matter with the officials?"
Fan Ning smiled: "I am the nephew of Ouyang Daguan, is he at home?" ”
"My master is at home, what do you call the official?"
"Under Fanning!"
"Oh-"
The housekeeper suddenly realized, how did he look a little familiar, it turned out to be Fan Ning, who was the first place in the children's test that year, and he had seen it himself when he was wearing red and praised the street, and he was very impressed.
This housekeeper has been here for a few years, and he doesn't know the relationship between Fanning and the master, so he doesn't dare to rashly invite Fanning to the guest hall, in case the master refuses to see him, wouldn't it be embarrassing.
He hurriedly said, "Please come in and wait for a while, I'll go and report to the master." ”
Standing at the door when he went in and waited, Fanning smiled and shook his head, "I'll just wait here, no need to go in!" ”
When the butler saw that he would not come in and wait, and that he was not reluctant, he hurried to inform his master.
Fan Ning turned around and smiled at the Su family brothers, "I haven't been here for several years, I'm as nervous as you!" ”
Su Shi understood that Fan Ning was explaining to himself why the housekeeper didn't know him, so he smiled slightly, "I want to thank Brother Xian today for letting us meet Ouyang Daguan." ”
Su Zhe was a little sluggish, he thought that Fan Ning's status in Ouyang Xiu's eyes was not high, so the housekeeper didn't dare to invite him in to sit first, but Su Zhe was not reckless, he didn't dare to say anything if he offended people, he just stood behind his brother and kept silent.
In a moment, hurried footsteps sounded, the door opened, and Ouyang Xiu's hearty laughter came, "Virtuous nephew, I thought you had forgotten me!" ”
"How dare the little nephew forget Shibo, the little nephew was only busy with business this morning, and he came to visit Shibo in the afternoon."
"That's pretty much it!"
Fan Ning handed a piece of packaged ambergris to Ouyang Xiu, and said with a smile: "This is the spice produced in Kunzhou, I brought back two catties, and the other half was given to my cousin, and the other half was given to Shibo." ”
Ouyang Xiu took it and sniffed it, and said in surprise: "Ambergris? ”
Fanning smiled and nodded, "I hope Shibo likes it!" ”
"Good boy, ambergris is a pound, you Kunzhou Zhizhou is not easy to do!"
"Let Shi Bo see it, this is what I got from the Kun people with a dagger, or the year before last."
"You kid, you're out of business!"
Ouyang Xiu has always been angry about not taking Fan Ning under his door, and he can't imagine that this kid is running too fast, he is only nineteen years old, and he will be appointed as an official and subordinate to Wupin, this is the posture of being a Xiangguo in the future!
He looked at the Su brothers behind Fan Ning again, and asked with a smile, "Who are these two?" ”
"It's my friend, all of them are high, and I brought them to Shibo to see."
The Su brothers hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Meishan Reserve will learn Su Shi and Su Zhe to see Mr. Ouyang!" ”
Ouyang Xiu had never heard of the names of Su Shi and Su Zhe, but since he was a good friend of Fan Ning, Fan Ning, who had never recommended people to him, spoke highly of him again, and Ouyang Xiu was also a little interested.
"Let's go inside and talk!"
Ouyang Xiu warmly invited Fan Ning into the house, and everyone came to the guest hall in the atrium, and at the moment when Fan Ning walked into the guest hall, he suddenly saw a skirt flashing at the side door of the atrium, Fan Ning was slightly stunned, he suddenly remembered Ouyang Qian, the last time he saw her was six years ago, and he had just come to the capital to prepare for the imperial examination the following year.
The reason why Fan Ning didn't have a deep friendship with Ouyang Qian was because Ouyang Qian was three years older than him, and it didn't hurt that he could mix for five or six years, but Ouyang Qian couldn't wait that long, not to mention that the person he identified in his heart was Zhu Pei, the Song Dynasty didn't say that he would marry two wives, or he would be a concubine, and Ouyang Xiu would allow his daughter to be someone else's concubine? So you don't have to think about this kind of thing.
Since that time, Fan Ning has not gone to Ouyang Qian again, and Ouyang Qian has not come to him, so they are all here, and after six years, Ouyang Qian should have married early.
"Virtuous nephew, please come in!"
Ouyang Xiu urged him inside, and Fan Ning collected his thoughts and walked into the guest hall quickly.
Although Fan Ning is already a high-ranking official from the fifth grade, he is a junior after all, he can't sit with Ouyang Xiu, but sits at the bottom, the Su brothers sit under Fan Ning, the seat next to Ouyang Xiu is empty, and a maid comes in and serves them tea.
Ouyang Xiuxian didn't care about the Su family brothers, and asked Fan Ning with a smile: "When I went to court today, Xianggong Wen proposed to increase the disaster relief expenditure, on the grounds that Kunzhou escorted a million taels of silver, and everyone was curious, is Kunzhou's silver mine very rich?" ”
The fact that the Great Song Dynasty sold soldiers to earn a lot of silver to Japan is still a secret, and only a very small number of important ministers know about it, although Gao Ruone also knows about it, but he is a person who has done Xiangguo, he knows that if this matter is publicized everywhere, it will not be Fan Ning's face, but in the bad reputation of the Son of Heaven, once the Son of Heaven knows that he did it himself, he is afraid that he will not be able to eat and walk around, so in this matter, Gao Ruone remained silent.
Everyone thought that the silver that Fan Ning escorted back was produced in Kunzhou.
Fanning smiled and nodded, "Generally, where volcanoes are active, the output of gold and silver is very large, and there are volcanic groups near Kunzhou, so there are indeed more gold and silver mines." ”
"It seems that Kunzhou is really a treasure land, not only producing horses, but also gold and silver, which is really the blessing of my Great Song Dynasty!"
After greeting and greetings, Fan Ning clearly felt the anxiety of the two great talents next to him, so he pulled the topic back, turned back to Su Shi and smiled: "Brother Su, why don't you ask Senior Ouyang to give you some guidance on poetry?" ”
Today, because he wanted to ask Feng Jing to introduce Fu Xianggong, Su Shi took some of his works with him, and after listening to Fan Ning's reminder, he hurriedly took out a volume of poems and presented them to Ouyang Xiu respectfully.
"I beg Senior Ouyang for advice!"
