Chapter Eighty-Four: Fang Zigui Leaves

In the warm closing speech of Lu Xianzhi, the governor of Hangzhou, the amusement party ended. In the afternoon of the same day, Xu Chengyu took everyone back to Luxi Academy, and after the students rested for a few days, the academy continued to hold classes, everyone went on a step-by-step basis, and life was back on track.

Since that night, Gu Yunji has never seen Fang Zigui again, and the people around him don't know where he went. asked Xu Chengyu, he only said that he would take care of everything, so that he didn't have to worry about it, and Gu Yunji no longer paid attention to this matter.

In the late autumn season, the fallen leaves fall one after another in the bleak autumn wind, spreading the golden yellow all over the ground, looking at it from a distance, it is like gold pouring down, pouring down, bright and splendid.

On this day, Gu Yunji walked on the way back to the dormitory, and saw a lot of people standing outside the No. 1 Lizi Building, as if they were looking at something lively. He glanced at it casually, his footsteps didn't stop, and he was about to avoid them, but he saw Su Qi in the crowd beckoning to him:

"Yunji, this way! Come here! ”

Gu Yunji paused, and then walked towards Su Qi, and found that a few small people in the dormitory were moving things, which was not unusual. He lost interest a little: "What's so nice about this, and it's worth you to drill here?" ”

Su Qi looked at Nunu in front of him, and his expression was meaningful: "Well, this is Fang Zigui's dormitory, he is leaving the academy, I heard that he is still the person who came to pick him up in person." ”

Gu Yunji raised his eyebrows: "Scholar Fang is an important minister of the imperial court, and he is busy with official duties on weekdays, so he will go all the way to Hangzhou to pick him up?" ”

"Otherwise, how could there be so many people watching the excitement? Not only to pick him up, but more importantly, to make amends to Xu Shanchang. Su Qi sneered, "Fang Zigui did such an evil thing, if he had been someone else, he would have been sent to the government a long time ago." That is, Xu Shan has a good heart, and he cares about his friendship with his father, so he saves some face. ”

While speaking, the little guy had already packed up his things, and Fang Shu came out of it with Fang Zigui, ready to say goodbye to Xu Chengyu who had just come over.

Fang Shu's eyes were complicated, and there was a lot of shame on his face when he looked at Xu Chengyu: "Brother Xu, the son is not the godfather's fault." In the past, it was I who neglected the teaching of the dog, and this is why he got into trouble. I don't dare to ask Brother Xu for forgiveness, I just hope that those who will celebrate the New Year in the future will be able to have more letters to move around, and don't dilute the relationship between the two families for many years. ”

Xu Chengyu's expression was light, and his tone was indifferent and detached: "The old man has lived for most of his life, and he has gradually lost his attention to any social interactions, and all he wants is the well-being and joy of his children." Master Fang is busy with official business, so it's good to take time to teach Ling Lang more, and don't worry about our family nested in the mountains. ”

He left no room for guns and sticks in his words, and he sarcastically made Fang Shu so sarcastic that he couldn't hold it on his face. But after all, it was his son who was sorry for others, Fang Shuyu was speechless for a long time, but after all, he still didn't keep anything, and bowed to Xu Chengyu:

"So...... That way, there's no more bothering. The dog's mistake, I will compensate Xu Shanchang on his behalf, thank Xu Shanchang's subordinates for mercy and give him a chance to change. From now on, I will strictly control and teach him carefully, and I will not let him do any more evil things. ”

Hearing this, Xu Chengyu lifted his eyelids and accepted Fang Shu's salute in silence.

Gu Yunji looked at Fang Shu's behavior, like a reasonable person, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "I see that this Fang scholar is not bad, how did he raise Fang Zigui such a son?" ”

"Most of them are with his mother!" As soon as he mentioned this, Su Qi had anger in his chest, "Bachelor Fang is very busy on weekdays, and he didn't go out on business at every turn in his early years, so he didn't care much about his son. Fang Zigui has no elders around him since he was a child, and he inherited his bad temperament as a lowly mother, isn't this slowly growing crooked? ”

"In addition, because of my aunt's matter, Master Fang felt sorry for our family, and he didn't renew the string for so many years, and only a few concubines served. After that, several of his children all died, and Fang Zigui was more than ten years old, so he reacted to cultivate this lone seedling, but unfortunately it was too late. ”

Gu Yunji said with emotion: "It is rumored that Fang University won the champion in the year of the weak crown, and his spirit is incomparable. The world praises him for his erudition and talent, upright, and can be a model for students in the world, who would have thought that Fenghua had half a life in the past, but he had planted a heel in his son's education, and he was afraid that he would have worries in the future. ”

Speaking of these, Su Qi also fell into the memories of the past, and his eyes were far away: "Master Fang was the dragon and phoenix among people when he was young, otherwise my aunt would not have taken a fancy to him." Who would have thought that something would happen in the back......"

About 20 years ago, Wu, a maidservant girl in the Fangfu Mansion in Beijing, gave her master an aphrodisiac, climbed into bed while she was drunk, and then gave birth to a son who was raised as an aunt. Who knew that Wu was greedy and vicious, so he was still not satisfied, and he actually poisoned and assassinated the mother of the house, causing her to die of depression.

Under the grief of the young Dingguo Gong, it was difficult to accept the fact of his sister's death, thinking that there must be something strange in it, and once he knocked on the door, he stirred up the Fang Mansion to the bottom, which revealed the true face of the Wu family and revealed the truth.

This incident caused a sensation in the capital and shocked the heavens. The first emperor personally issued an edict to give the Wu family death, appease the Duke of Dingguo, and reprimand the Fang family. Fang Shu was not strict in governing his family, and he was demoted to three levels in a row, and he was a magistrate who had been out for many years, and it took several times to return to Beijing with difficulty.

If not, Yi Fang's knowledge and ability should have been like Xu Chengyu, who would have sat in the position of the first assistant of the cabinet, instead of being able to enter the cabinet a few years ago.

Xu is voice was a little loud for the two of them to speak, which attracted Fang Shu's attention. He looked over seemingly unintentionally, the color in his eyes was clear for a moment after seeing Su Qi, and then he walked over and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few months, you have grown taller again." Last time I was by His Majesty's side, I didn't talk to you, but today I finally have a chance. How's it going, how were your days at Deer Creek Academy? ”

Su Qi snorted for a while, and finally said awkwardly: "I've seen Fang...... Aunt, uncle. ”

What happened back then was not what Fang Shu wanted, his beloved wife died, and he was depressed for several years before he slowly came out. What's more, because of the guilt in his heart, he helped the Su family openly and secretly in the court, although Dingguo Gong was still a little concerned, but he gradually lost his anger and no longer put on his face with him all the time.

The relationship between the two families is currently quite passable, and there are many contacts during the New Year's holidays, even if Su Qi doesn't like Fang Zigui, he can't be angry with Fang Shu, so he is embarrassed at this time, or honestly call him uncle.

Fang Shu nodded with a smile, his gaze fell on Gu Yunji on Su Qi's side, and he said tentatively: "You are Gu Yunji?" ”

Gu Yunji staggered his gaze, and said without humility or arrogance: "I have seen Lord Fang, the student is Gu Yunji." ”

The last time the emperor drove to Fang Shu, he only glanced at Gu Yunji from a distance, and only then did he look at him carefully, and saw that the other party was calm and unhurried, and his bearing was extraordinary, and he sighed and admired in his heart, but he also did not stand up, and said directly: "Fang Zigui made a big mistake, and he was embarrassed by Gu Gongzi several times, and I will make amends to you on his behalf." ”

Gu Yunji turned sideways to avoid his salute, lowered his eyes and said politely: "Lord Fang's words are serious. ”

It's still a grudge, but it's also human nature. Fang Shu saw his reaction in his eyes, didn't say anything, and after chatting with Su Qi for a few words, he took Fang Zigui to Xu Chengyu and left.

I don't know what Fang Zigui experienced after that night, today he didn't say a word the whole time, only followed behind Fang Shu silently with his head down, and he couldn't see any expression on his face.

Looking at the distant backs of the Fang family's father and son, Su Qi breathed a sigh of relief, the whole person felt unprecedentedly relaxed and happy, and couldn't help shouting: "Fang Zigui, this plague god, is finally gone, and he will never see him in the academy in the future, it's really cool!" ”

Gu Yunji smiled when he saw this, but the big stone in his heart did not completely fall.

The grudge between each other is still there, and Fang Zigui is a character who must be avenged, not to mention that he has a meritorious reputation, and he must continue to take the imperial examination. Even if you can't see him for a while, maybe in the future when you go to the officialdom, Gu Yunji will have more time to deal with him.
