The young man clenched the wooden stick, his eyes were red, he gritted his teeth and stared at the gate of the yamen of the military department, and raised his voice: "Old thing! You don't come out again! I'll go in and fight with you! ”

Several officials stood in front of the gate, looking at the young man's eyes full of helplessness.

It's the first time they've encountered this kind of thing, and they don't know what to do.

"Enough!"

At this time, a neutral voice came from the yamen of the military department.

Qian Haonan, the secretary of the military department in a scarlet robe, walked out, and his vicissitudes of life had no expression on his face.

"Do you know what the crime of trespassing on the yamen of the military department should be!"

Qian Haonan stared at his only son and asked coldly.

The young man snorted coldly, and said angrily: "Can you still punish the Nine Clans?" ”

"Arrogance!"

Qian Haonan let out an angry shout.

The young man looked disdainful and said, "Even if it is the Zhujiu clan, I am not afraid, it is a big deal to die together!" ”

When Qian Haonan heard this, a cloud of anger rose in his chest, and in a hurry, he wanted to draw a knife and give him two blows!

But!

Tiger poison still doesn't eat children, no matter how angry he is, he can't do it.

What's more, no one understands his son's temper better than him, who is an old man.

If his stubborn temper really comes up!

Even if you really cut him twice, it won't help, and you should still make trouble, unless you give him the money!

If you don't achieve your goal, you won't give up, even if you fight for your life!

It's exactly the same as when he was younger.

It's a pity that it didn't work on the right path.

Qian Haonan looked at his son, sighed in his heart, and opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

That's when it happened.

A magnetic voice was heard not far away.

"What a spirit!"

Qian Haonan was slightly stunned when he heard the voice, and then a trace of uneasiness appeared in his eyes, turned his head to look at the person who came, and saluted respectfully: "Meet Fang Xiang!" ”

When the officials and officials who were watching the excitement heard the word "Fang Xiang", they immediately became restrained, and followed with a salute: "The lower officials and others will meet Fang Xiang!" ”

Fang Xiu, who had just come out of the palace, passed through the six yamen all the way and saw the young man making trouble.

didn't want to meddle in Qian Haonan's family affairs, but seeing that their father and son looked like they were-for-tat and incompatible, they thought for a few seconds and still stood up.

"I'm not even afraid of the Nine Clans, I don't think there's anything you're afraid of in this world?"

Fang Xiu walked up to the young man, looked at him, and said with a warm smile on his face.

When the young man heard this, he stubbornly turned his face away and did not respond.

"Something that doesn't have long eyes! Fang Xiang asked you! ”

Qian Haonan walked up to the young man in a few steps and stretched out his hand to give him a head touch.

The young man was beaten and glared at his own Lao Tzu.

At this time, he suddenly noticed a trace of worry in his Lao Tzu's eyes.

"He's worried about me?"

The young man was slightly stunned, gritted his teeth, suppressed the anger in his heart, and did not choke back.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu smiled and said, "Your kid is courageous, your father is not as good as you in front of the prime minister, but unfortunately the war between the imperial court and the Zhou State has ended, otherwise the prime minister would like to send you to the battlefield to hone and hone your ......"

He said this casually.

In any case, this kid is Qian Haonan's only son.

If he is really sent to the front line, I am afraid that Qian Haonan will kneel in front of Xiangguofu and cry the next day.

"I want to go to the battlefield, but my father won't let me, just let me read some bullshit sage books at home, what use can those sage books be read!"

The young man glared at his Lao Tzu, gritted his teeth and said: "I didn't like to read before, and he also knew that he didn't care about me before, but now that I have grown up, I will be crowned after a while, and at this time, he is pretending to take care of me!" ”

When Qian Haonan heard this, his face turned angry and he scolded: "Dog thing! How can I talk to Fang Xiang! ”

The young man said angrily: "You say that I am a dog, then you gave birth to me, you are not also a dog, you are still an old dog!" ”

As soon as this remark came out.

Looking at the lively officials around, their faces were flushed, and they wanted to laugh but felt that it was not appropriate, so they could only endure it.

Qian Haonan's face also turned black in an instant, and he raised his rough palm and was about to hit it.

"Dare to talk back!"

This time.

Fang Xiu stretched out his hand to stop him, raised his eyebrows, and half-jokingly: "I think Qian Yong is right, you scolded him for being a dog, where did you put yourself." ”

"That's it!"

When the young man saw Fang Xiu speaking for him, he suddenly felt a little cordial to Fang Xiu, glared at Qian Haonan, and said, "Besides, I was talking to you just now, not talking to Fang Xiang, what are you talking about Fang Xiang!" ”

"You!"

When Qian Haonan heard this, his face was angry, but his heart was a lot more stable.

This kid still has a bit of eyesight, and knows that his father can be provoked, but Fang Xiang can't be provoked.

If he really loses his temper and quarrels with Fang, he will be in big trouble.

Although with the status and mind of Fang Xiang, it is impossible to deal with a child.

However, after the death of his old man, it is not necessarily whether his son can be protected by Fang Xiang and spend his life in peace.

"The family is unfortunate, except for such a scum, which makes Fang Xiang smile."

Qian Haonan didn't argue with his son, he turned his head to look at Fang Xiu, and he hated the way of iron and steel.

"I think that Qian Yong is not unreasonable, when he was young, you neglected to discipline him, and when he grew up, he suddenly disciplined him, which is inevitably annoying, and you can achieve the position of the secretary of the military department, and you don't just rely on reading sage books, why do you have to let your son read sage books vigorously?"

Fang Xiu looked at Qian Haonan and said leisurely.

When Qian Haonan heard this, he was silent for a few breaths and said, "The lower official is at fault." ”

Fang Xiu turned his head to look at Qian Yong again, and said in a gentle tone: "Your name, I have heard it many times, what are you doing today, this appearance probably understands, let's say, how much silver do you want, this appearance will give it to you for your father." ”

Qian Yong obviously didn't expect that this legendary high-ranking and decisive prime minister would be so kind.

After a short period of surprise, he shook his head lightly and whispered: "Fang Xiang has no relatives with me, I can't ask for Fang Xiang's silver, I only need my father's silver." ”

"Your father has been following Benxiang for six or seven years, from the squire of the military department to the secretary of the military department, they are all pulled by the prime minister, you are your father's only son, how can you say that you have no relationship with this prime minister......

To tell you the truth, because of the war, your father really can't get the money you want, no matter how much trouble you make today, even if you smash the yamen of the military department, your father still can't get the money!

Of course, Benxiang knows that you are embarrassed to take Benxiang's silver for nothing, so it's better to make a bet with you, if you can do one thing according to Benxiang's requirements, after completion, Benxiang will give you 10,000 taels of silver! How is it? ”

As soon as this remark came out.

The onlookers were stunned.

They obviously didn't expect that Fang Xiang, who was in charge of everything, would do such a thing for his subordinates' family affairs.

10,000 taels of silver is not a small amount!

Qian Haonan knew that Fang Xiu wanted to discipline the child for himself and pull him back to the right path, his face showed a touch of emotion, and he didn't open his mouth to stop it.

The other side.

Qian Yong hesitated and did not agree immediately.

He knew very well that pies would not fall from the sky, and Fang Xiang could not give him this ruined piece of silver for nothing!

It must not be easy to get this silver from Fang Xiang's hands!

But, on the other hand, he knew that Fang Xiang was right.

The money in the Qian Mansion was used by his father, and no matter how much he made trouble, it would be difficult to get the silver.

If he could really get 10,000 taels of silver from Fang Xiang's hands, it would be enough for him to squander it for a long time.

"Didn't you just say that you are not even afraid of the Nine Clans? The Nine Clans are not afraid, what else do you have to worry about? ”

Fang Xiu looked at the young man and said with a smile.

When Qian Yong heard this, his competitive energy surged up, and he said with a serious face: "What does Fang Xiang want me to do?" ”

Fang Xiu raised his eyebrows and said: "Benxiang has built a academy in the suburbs, called Mingxiu Academy, Benxiang hopes that you can stay in Mingxiu Academy for a year, during which you will not be expelled from the academy by the gentleman of Mingxiu Academy, it will be regarded as completing the task assigned to you by Benxiang, and Benxiang will personally send 10,000 taels of silver to you!" ”

"Spend a year in the academy ......"

Qian Yong's brows furrowed slightly, and he fell into hesitation.

"You should know that 10,000 taels of silver, if you earn it yourself, let alone ten years, even if it is twenty, thirty, or even fifty years, you may not be able to earn it, and now this is just to let you go to the academy for a year, and then give you 10,000 taels of silver, what else do you have to hesitate?"

Fang Xiu said leisurely.

Qian Yong knew that what Fang Xiu said was the truth, he was silent for a few breaths, no longer hesitated, nodded heavily, and said firmly: "Okay!" I promised to stay at Ming Xiu Academy for a year! ”

Fang Xiu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, the son can be taught...... It will take half a month for the Ming Xiu Academy to be completed, and this half month will be relaxed and relaxed, and then you have to do things according to the rules of the academy! ”

Speaking of this, after a pause, Zhengse said: "I hope you can be like your father, be an iron-clad man, and do what you say!" ”

"Isn't it just a year in the academy, it's not a big deal!"

Qian Yong said confidently.

"Okay, let's go back!"

Fang Xiu reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

"Farewell!"

Qian Yong arched his hand at Fang Xiu and turned to leave.

From beginning to end, he didn't look at his Lao Tzu again.

"Fang Xiang, Xia Guan ......"

Qian Haonan stood in place, with crystal tears in his eyes, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Fang Xiu looked at him, sighed in his heart, and said leisurely: "Qian Yong has become like this, his true appearance is also responsible, everything was handed over to you back then, so that you don't even have time to accompany the child, if you can give you some time back then, go home to accompany Qian Yong, discipline one or two, and you will not develop such a stubborn character......

"It is the duty of a courtier to be loyal and conscientious to the court."

Qian Haonan said with a touched face: "Fang Xiang can do this step for the lower officials, and the lower officials are already grateful, and there is nothing to repay." ”

Fang Xiu said: "Saying these words, it is inevitable that he will be divided, although Qian Yong, this child is a little stubborn, but his essence is not bad, he has never done anything that hurts nature and reason, and he has never bullied men and women, with a little guidance, he may be able to become a pillar of the court like you in the future." ”

When Qian Haonan heard this, his gratitude burst out, he couldn't restrain his emotions anymore, shed tears, and said in a trembling voice: "Fang Xiang's great kindness, the lower officials are grateful!" ”

Seeing him like this, Fang Xiu didn't want to say anything, just waved his hand and said, "Benxiang still has something to do, so I won't chat with you, half a month later, let Qian Yong come to Xiangguo's Mansion to find Benxiang, and Benxiang will send him to Mingxiu Academy!" ”

"Xia Guan understands!"

Qian Haonan stood in place and bowed respectfully.

Fang Xiu nodded, said no more, and walked away.

When he passed by Qin Xingyan, he suddenly thought of something, looked at him, and asked, "I heard that you have been having a headache about your son's affairs recently?" ”

An embarrassed smile appeared on Qin Xingyan's old face, and he said, "If you go back to Fang Xiang, Xia Guan has indeed had a headache these days. ”

Fang Xiu said: "Qin Yongxin took the initiative to ask Ying to go to Huizhou for disaster relief, it is a good thing, he has been with Hai Rui in Qingzhou disaster relief before, he has experience, this time he will hone and hone his temper, if the errand is done well, he may not be able to be promoted exceptionally, let him go to your household department to be a foreigner." ”

When Qin Xingyan heard this, his eyes lit up, and then he thought of something again, his face was worried, and said: "The lower official has no expectations for what position he can go, I just hope that he can be safe." ”

Fang Xiu was silent for a few seconds, and said, "Parents, most people have such thoughts, but when the children are older, they have their own ideas, and as elders, they must let go and let them break out of the world by themselves." ”

When Qin Xingyan heard this, he was slightly stunned.

Fang Xiang is not very old, and he doesn't have any children of his own, how can he have such a profound understanding of life.

What he didn't know was that what Fang Xiu had just said was the change in his mentality towards Wu Mingkong.

From the beginning, I wanted to do everything for her, but later I chose to leave Chang'an and give her some free space, so that she could also show her strengths.

"Fang Xiang's lesson is that Xia Guan should not influence Yongxin's thoughts, since he is going to Huizhou for disaster relief, let him go."

Qin Xingyan said.

"I haven't heard from Shouyang for a while, what is he doing now? Still staring at the stones? ”

Fang Xiu asked with some curiosity.

Speaking of Qin Shouyang, Qin Xingyan's face became a lot more ugly.

He sighed and said helplessly: "He recently got a bunch of idle books from nowhere, what is it called Xinxue, he has been reading all day long, and he gave him money to set up a academy before he went down, and he didn't go to lecture, and now they are all about to be abandoned." ”

When Fang Xiu heard the word "Xinxue", he was slightly stunned, and thought, is it Wang Yangming's Xinxue?

If it is true, this Qin Shouyang may be able to become a great thinker and promote the progress of the great cadres.

It's just that......

Compared with Wang Yangming, who can be called a saint, Qin Shouyang is much worse in all aspects, and he has not experienced any setbacks since he was a child.

He wants to comprehend Wang Yangming's mind on his own, but I'm afraid it's not so easy.

"It may not be a good thing to study idle books, and he may not be able to become a saint in the future."

Fang Xiu said half-jokingly.

Qin Xingyan squeezed out a smile and echoed a few words, but said silently in his heart: Fang Xiang, you don't have children, where can you understand how difficult it is to be a parent.

Fang Xiu chatted with him for a few words, then didn't say anything more, and walked back to Xiangguo Mansion.

The entrance of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

A familiar figure stood there, apparently having been waiting for a long time.

Fang Xiu was slightly stunned when he saw him.

"Uncle Guo? What did he come to do? ”
