Chapter 406: The Tradition of the Sect
Mei Feng came with a posture of protecting a calf, supporting Gu Yunji both inside and outside the words, and said that he was like a child who didn't know anything about the world, and Gu Yunji was uncomfortable listening to it.
Fu Zida was okay, he was just surprised that there was such a relationship between Gu Yunji and the governor, and he quickly accepted it. Recalling the previous contact with Gu Yunji, the other party has such a hard backstage, but they are approachable to get along, and they don't see the slightest arrogance, and they can't help but have a good impression of him in their hearts.
And Qiu Wugang's side was embarrassed.
A second ago, he was still throwing problems at Gu Yunji, arrogantly and unreasonably playing tricks in the mansion, and he had to come up with an explanation. Who knew that the senior brother of the family came to the door in the next second, it was still Mei Feng, the governor of Zhejiang, listening to the meaning of those words, it was obvious that he wanted to support his junior brother, and most of them were coming for him Qiu Wugang.
Qiu Wugang was born in a military household and was a hereditary military centurion, and later relied on his military merits to really rise to the command position. is indeed a capable person, and his behavior is always a little arrogant, especially those civil officials who don't look down on those who play tricks, every time he comes to the government, his attitude is very bad, and over time, Fu Zida is almost afraid of him.
But no matter how arrogant Qiu Wugang is, he has to be honest in front of Mei Feng. The imperial court is accustomed to using civil power to control the military, Mei Feng served as the governor of Zhejiang as a civilian official, although he did not personally go into battle to kill the enemy, but he commanded the military and political affairs of a province, and had great power in the administrative and military aspects.
Listening to Mei Feng's admonition, Qiu Wugang looked embarrassed, and laughed dryly: "Your Excellency, you are laughing...... Master Gu was on duty on the first day today, and his ass was not hot yet, who could bully him......
"Really? That's the best." Mei Feng raised her eyebrows, as if she was smiling, "Then again, what are you arguing about?"
Gu Yunji said: "It's just about building roads, and there are some difficulties at this stage."
Saying that, Gu Yunji introduced the road construction in the swamp pond in detail.
After listening to the whole story, Mei Feng frowned and said with a smile: "What else should I do, it's just a trivial matter. Speaking of which, isn't it just that the matter of stone is not easy to solve? This is easy, I will say hello to the officials of Jinhua Mansion and ask them to transfer the stone as soon as possible at the lowest price, and you can start building the road immediately."
Gu Yunji was flattered: "Wouldn't this be too troublesome?"
Mei Feng waved his hand generously: "What is this, Yu Gong is the official business of the Yamen, you bought the stones back to build roads, and the roads were built to transport materials to resist the Japanese invaders, in the final analysis, it was all for the people." The two state capitals are already close to each other, and the Japanese invade Shaoxing Mansion today, and they may flee to Jinhua Mansion tomorrow, and they should help each other."
"Speaking privately, I'm your senior brother, you're in trouble, why don't you help if I can? What's more, it's just a matter of words for me, and I don't need to take it to heart."
As he spoke, Mei Feng patted Gu Yunji's shoulder, and his movements were very affectionate.
Although they are brothers in the same sect, Gu Yunji and Mei Feng are meeting for the first time after all, no matter how good the relationship is, it is not so good that they can get along with each other as they want. Gu Yunji understood that Mei Feng did this on purpose, in order to tell Shaoxing Mansion and even the entire Zhejiang officialdom that Gu Yunji was covered by him, the governor.
Gu Yunji knew that in the imperial court, he was definitely the kind of official with a hard background and background, but it was the first time he had a real sense of it. In the past, both the Gu family and the Xu family were relatively low-key, and if it was not necessary, they would not show off their prominent power outside.
Like Mei Feng, he did not shy away from revealing his identity, and it was the first time that he clearly supported him.
Thinking that as soon as Mei Feng came, he easily solved a tricky trouble for himself, Gu Yunji was grateful, and when Fu Zida and Qiu Wugang left, he said sincerely, "Thank you, Lord Governor."
Mei Feng raised his eyebrows: "Governor?"
Gu Yunji hurriedly changed his words: "Senior brother, thank you, senior brother."
Mei Feng showed a satisfied look: "That's right, don't look at me more than ten years older than you, and my official rank is higher than yours, but we are brothers in the same school, and we are all taught by the teacher alone, how can we be so angry."
Gu Yunji smiled embarrassedly:
"I mainly think ...... After all, this is in the Yamen, and it is also the period of the upper duty, I am afraid that if I behave too close to you, people may think that the senior brother does not distinguish between public and private, and will bring unnecessary trouble to the senior brother."
Mei Feng said, "What are you afraid of? If this is called the separation of public and private, there will be more places to avoid suspicion in the future. No matter how I say it, I am also the governor of a province, such a big official, if I can't even protect my little junior brother, what is the use? I can't even explain it to the teacher."
"It's to scare those people, knowing that you are covered by someone, so that they don't dare to bully you. Look at that Qiu Wugang, who was so loud that he could almost shake the roof tiles down, but as soon as I appeared, I immediately became honest, isn't this a good example?"
Having said that, Mei Feng was too short-sighted, which made Gu Yunji cry and laugh.
Seeing that Gu Yunji didn't speak, Mei Feng thought that he was still struggling, and added, "Maybe it's because you apprenticed late, and you haven't felt it much, but in fact, protecting your shortcomings is our master's tradition, so you can get used to it."
"You must know that the teacher was a notoriously short-sighted back then, he was young and hot-tempered, and I was bullied outside, and he could lead me to the door the next day to settle accounts. Once, I had a fight with a classmate of Guozijian, and when the teacher found out, he insisted on taking me to the other party's parents to ask for an explanation."
"As soon as we were halfway there, we happened to meet the other party's parents who were also looking for us, and the teacher scolded the other party in front of so many people on the street, and finally had to flee in disgrace. After that, the teacher became famous, and everyone knew that I had a teacher who was not easy to mess with and protect, and no one dared to bully me anymore."
"It's that now that the teacher is older, his temper has been restrained a lot, and he is too lazy to conflict with others, so you feel that he is stable and introverted. But the teacher is introverted, but it doesn't mean that I have to be introverted, if I don't know, forget it, but you went to Shaoxing Mansion to be an official, and I am the governor of Zhejiang, if I don't care about you, the teacher will know in the future, I'm afraid I will have to punish me!"
Gu Yunji knew that Mei Feng was joking, but he still couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Gu Yunji didn't know much about Xu Chengyu's experience when he was young, and he felt very fresh for a while. But if you think about it carefully, this is indeed very similar to what Xu Chengyu can do.
Mei Feng is his eldest disciple, and Xu Chengyu must attach great importance to the first apprentice, and he is reluctant to let him suffer a little grievance, wishing that everyone in the world knew that Mei Feng was covered by him.
Mei Feng, who grew up in such an environment, naturally inherited Xu Chengyu's "mantle", and he is simply a short-term protector in the same vein, and he can't see his little brother being bullied.
