Chapter 105: The Priest's Plan
Three days later, Fang Shiyu and Fang Xiaoyu prepared to leave Hangzhou by boat, pass through Weigu, and go north to the capital.
Before leaving, all the people in the family except for the elder Erniang Lan Sisi, including Fang De, Ouyang Sihai, Miao Cuihua, Ma Yumei, Yongning, Hengshan Shibingwei, Hengshan Jianshu, and Hengshan Sakura, everyone came to the dock to see them off.
Because these two children went out of the distant mountains for the first time, the women in the family naturally gave them a thousand advices, although the words were a little wordy, but the scene was quite warm, Fang De and Hengshan Mountain Shibei, naturally did not go to the same as those women to instruct them, but sat in the pavilion of the dock, watching the scenery on the dock on the side, as for the Hengshan Sakurako, Hengshan Jianshu is naturally standing by his father's side, compared to him, Fang De's side is a little lonely, and there is only one Fu Bo who is ready to follow his two sons north to the capital.
Yokoyama Shibei was surprised by Fang De's performance: "Father-in-law, don't you have anything to say to them, this is the first time they have gone far away, and this trip is likely to be two or three years." β
"Wrinkled eagle grows up, naturally to spread its wings and fly high, looking for their own world, although we parents are a little reluctant in their hearts, but when it is time to let go, you still have to learn to let go, wrinkled eagle does not experience a storm and rain, how can it be possible to show the majestic posture of the eagle striking the sky, find your own world, as parents you can not stay with them forever to take care of them. β
Yokoyama Shibei bowed: "You can see it if you are still a family member." β
Fang De smiled and said: "Brother Hengshan, what about you, you are Xiaoyu's father-in-law, Xiaoyu's departure is likely to be several years, don't you have anything to say to him, although you are engaged to Sakurako, but when you go outside, you will inevitably be confused." β
Yokoyama Shibei behaved very calmly: "What should be said and what should not be said, I have already told your stinky boy, what else can I say again? Even if it is in the past, it is just a rehash of the same old tune." β
"Sakurako, what about you?" Fang De turned his gaze to Yokoyama Sakurako: "Xiaoyu is your fiancΓ©, don't you have anything to say to Xiaoyu, if you want to say, just hurry over, there will be no such shop in this village, and it will probably take two or three years for them to come back when they go to Beijing this time." β
Yokoyama Sakurako hasn't spoken yet, and Yokoyama Shibei has already said on the side: "Listen to you say this, I'm really not at ease with your family Xiaoyu, this kid is really a talent, and there must be no problem in taking the imperial examination, but I heard that there is a popular list to catch sons-in-law in the capital, and many dignitaries and nobles will get involved, if this kid lets those people take away, the loss is really not ordinarily big, so I decided to let Sakurako go into Beijing with them." β
Fang De was stunned when he heard this: "Let Yingzi enter Beijing with them, you won't joke with me, right?"
"Am I joking?" Yokoyama Jubei asked rhetorically: "Even if the husband and wife are far away, this relationship will fade, let alone an unmarried couple, so I decided to let Sakurako go to Beijing with them, firstly, to cultivate feelings before marriage, and secondly, to prevent this kid from cheating mentally and physically." β
Fang De couldn't help but say, "I'm still going to teach Sakura the way of business, and you actually let him go to Beijing?"
"Business can be learned at any time, but if the son-in-law loses it, it will be a big loss. I decided to let Sakurako go to Beijing with them, and keep an eye on this kid, of course, I won't bother you with your behavior as a good teacher During this time, you can train me well. Yokoyama Shibei said: "However, you are really stingy, the children are going out for the first time, and they are participating in the scientific examination, what about you? I just gave them one hundred taels of silver, where is this one hundred taels of silver, the standard of living in the capital is not compared with Hangzhou, it is very expensive." β
Fang De smiled slightly: "Our Fang family's family motto is not to eat a day, so I am only responsible for their daily living expenses, if they want to live a good life, they have to rely on their own efforts, besides, didn't you let Sakura go to Beijing with them, I don't believe you will let her not take a penny?"
Hengshan Shibei naturally did not admit that he asked Hengshan Sakurako to bring five hundred taels of silver to Beijing: "Sakurako went to Beijing with them to keep an eye on your filial piety and prevent him from cheating mentally and physically, why did he bring so much silver, besides, even if she brought some silver, she would only use it as a last resort, as for Shiyu, he is not my son-in-law, I don't care if he lives or dies." β
Fang De smiled faintly: "Really?" Then he turned his gaze to Yokoyama Sakurako: "Tell your father-in-law well, how much silver did your father let you bring into Beijing?"
For Fang De's question, Yokoyama Sakurako naturally didn't dare to slack off, she looked at Yokoyama Shibei, and then said timidly: "Back to my father-in-law, my father asked me to bring five hundred taels of silver." β
"Five hundred taels of silver?" Fang De was really a little surprised to let go, Fang Xiaoyu's father-in-law was really not ordinary generosity.
For his daughter's answer to Fang De's question so honestly, Yokoyama Shibei naturally felt a little faceless: "Dead girl, you can't lie while lying, won't you say that you don't have a penny, so that your father-in-law can have an extra share of money?"
Fang De smiled: "Honesty and trustworthiness are the basic rules of life, Sakura is so honest, this can only show that your daughter taught Yokoyama Shi well, and I have to thank you for teaching a sincere and good daughter-in-law to our Fang family, now I estimate that they have talked about it almost, let's go over together." β
Ouyang Sihai, Miao Cuihua, Ma Yumei, Yongning, and the instructions of Fang Xiaoyu and Fang Shiyu on the other side lasted for more than half an hour, especially Yongning finally secretly stuffed Fang Xiaoyu with a silver ticket worth two hundred taels:" When you go out, you need money everywhere, don't treat yourself badly, the price of goods in the capital is very expensive, these five hundred taels of silver are my little aunt's thoughts, when you get to the capital, you must not treat yourself badly, if someone bullies you in the capital, you will report the name of the little aunt, even if it is with the fat man, he does not dare not give me a little thin noodles. β
Ouyang Sihai was very helpless about Yongning's instructions, his son went to Beijing to take the exam, but listening to her tone, it seemed that they were going to the capital to cause trouble: "Okay, okay, they went to the capital to take the exam, but not to cause trouble, now the time is almost up, hurry up and let them get on the boat." β
By the time they finished talking, Fang De had already walked over with Fu Bo, Yokoyama Shibei, Yokoyama Sakurako, and Yokoyama Kenki.
Seeing them coming, Fang Xiaoyu and Fang Shiyu called out respectfully, "Dad!"
"It's all said that it's fun, when it's over, Dad will introduce you to you, Fu Bo came to see the two little masters. β
When Fu Bo heard this, he walked over and greeted Fang Xiaoyu and Fang Shiyu: "The two young masters are well." β
Seeing Fu Bo's old dragon clock, Fang Shiyu couldn't help but be a little worried, what the hell is he doing again, look at this Fu Bo's old dragon clock, it looks like it will fall down when the wind blows, and let them take care of them, it is better to let them take care of him: "Dad, I know that Xiaoyu and I are the first to go out, but don't worry, Xiaoyu and I can take care of ourselves, so I will trouble your old man to send someone to take care of us, and besides, Fu Bo is already old, you can let him enjoy a few years of happiness at home." β
"Why do you look down on people?" Fang De said with a smile: "Fu Bo has followed your grandfather, the old man of your grandfather, he also traveled from south to north back then, and he is well-informed, this is to let him enter Beijing with you, the main thing is to be afraid that you will cause trouble outside, let him keep an eye on you, he didn't dislike you, you dislike him." β
Fu Bo also smiled at this time and said: "Old slave, I also know that I am old, and I am not stronger than you young people, but since the young master has ordered me to give me this old bone, I can only ask the two young masters to stutter with a thick face, and I will never cause trouble for the two young masters." β
Fang Shiyu wanted to say more, Fang Xiaoyu was already very respectful and said: "Grandpa Fu, you are too polite, it is our blessing to have you accompany us to Beijing, and we still need you to mention more along the way." β
Fu Bole said hehehe: "It's still our little master's words that are pleasing to the ear." β
"You're too polite, Sakurako, and you haven't come to help Grandpa Fu get on the boat. β
Yokoyama Sakurako heard this, and immediately came over and supported Fu Bo with Fang Xiaoyu, but when he was about to get on the boat, Fang Shiyu was a little disappointed in his heart, none of the people in Qionghua Academy, including Hong Xiguan, Emperor Hu, Yan Wing Chun, and Li Jinlun, came to see him off, so he couldn't help but say stupidly: "We are about to enter Beijing with a group of unrighteous guys, and they don't even come to see them off." β
"Alright, alright, don't blame them, they can get up after last night's party and drink so much. β
Fang Xiaoyu was persuading Fang Shiyu on the side, and before he finished speaking, he faintly heard the voice of someone calling them, and with the reputation, he had already seen Hong Xiguan, Hu Dedi, and Li Jinlun They had already run towards them from a distance, and they were all shouting the names of Fang Xiaoyu and Fang Shiyu while running.
"It's time to be satisfied, they're all here. Fang Xiaoyu said.
"Count them with a conscience!"
Seeing that Emperor Hu De, Hong Xiguan, Li Jinlun, and the three of them came in a hurry, Fang Shiyu's mood suddenly improved a lot.
However, when the three of them ran over, Fang Xiaoyu and Fang Shiyu both saw that they were carrying burdens and holding a whistle stick in their hands: "What are you doing here, come to see you off, there is no need to be fully armed." β
Li Jinlun immediately gave him a big roll of his eyes: "What do you say? You and Xiaoyu are the leaders of the imperial court, and so are a few of us, since we are participating in the entrance examination in the capital for the coming year and winning glory for Fujian and Zhejiang, how can this kind of good thing be indispensable to us? Since we are entering Beijing, let's go together, and the road will be more lively." β
Fang Shiyu seemed very happy: "With you all on the way to Beijing, it naturally won't seem too lonely." β
Fang De looked very calm: "Since they are all here, let's all get on the boat, don't delay the time when the boatman is still preparing to sail." β
After a stick of incense, the merchant ships going north left the dock and headed north with Fang Xiaoyu, Fang Shiyu, Emperor Hu De, Li Jinlun, Hong Xiguan, Yokoyama Sakurako, and Fu Bo.
When the ship went offshore, Li Shuangting and Yim Wing Chun appeared on the river embankment, watching the boat carrying Fang Xiaoyu and others.
In her eyes, Li Shuangting naturally saw some reluctance and nostalgia.
In fact, she is also very optimistic about the young man Fang Xiaoyu and Yan Wing Chun, but who knew that Fang Xiaoyu suddenly killed a fiancΓ©e, and this fiancΓ©e is very unusual, if you want Japan to have a prominent family background, Yan Wing Chun is undoubtedly much worse at this point, she is just a businessman's daughter, how to fight with others, and she can only regret it at the moment: "Since you are reluctant in your heart, it means that you still have feelings for him, why don't you go to Xiaoyu." β
Yan Wing Chun said stubbornly: "He is already a person with a fiancΓ©e, what else am I going to do to make a scene." β
She walked away.
Li Shuangting was also helpless about this.
In this matter, Fang Xiaoyu and Yim Wing Chun are not wrong, if there is a mistake, it can only be said that it is a creation to make people.
Fang De sent his two sons and left Hangzhou to go north to Jingshi, and did not hide it from Dai Duo and the Holy Mother of the White Lotus: "This Fang De is really worthy of a generation of wise men, he knows that if his two children stay in Hangzhou, those who are hostile to the other family will definitely make a move against their two sons, so he will send people away first, but the wind and rain are coming and the rain is full of buildings, and this wind and rain of the Fang family is not something that he can avoid by sending his son away or auctioning Fang Long, as long as that thing is still in the Fang family, this wind and rain is inevitable." β
"You're talking about ......"
"Chifeng Holy Sword. β
"Chifeng Holy Sword?"
Dai Duo replied to the White Lotus Holy Mother: "Chifeng Saint is still the Holy Ancestor Emperor, and he orders the three armies to match the sword, so that the sword can be justified in Prince Rong, otherwise he will succeed and it will be difficult to convince the public." β
"And you're still helping him?"
"With this sword, he can fight to the death with Qianlong's father and son, and we will have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. β
Dai Duo's answer was somewhat helpless.
Our Lady of the White Lotus was silent, and after a long time, she changed the topic: "By the way, your senior brother Tang Wenshan was abolished by Wudang Baimei, do you want to go and have a look?"
"Forget it, if I see him, he will definitely force me to avenge him and deal with the Fang family and Wudang, but they can deal with it so easily, although the Fang family is just a merchant family, but they have a lot of power in the court and the opposition, and it is not something we can afford to offend, this kind of person we can only use, not the enemy, even if we want to do it, it should not be up to us, as for the Wudang faction, it is even more impossible to provoke, what kind of person is that white eyebrow, that is a martial idiot, if you provoke him, he will definitely hit the door, deal with this kind of person, either a blow will kill him, or hide far awayγ β
The Holy Mother of the White Lotus nodded, Dai Duo was right, Bai Mei and the Fang family were not characters they could provoke: "But since Tang Wenshan knows that we are coming to Hangzhou, if we hide and don't show up, the Kongtong faction will not be able to explain, or I will go and see him for you." β
"Forget it, everything is important, we came to Jiangnan this time, mainly to take over the inheritance of the Sun and Moon Society in Jiangnan, although the Sun and Moon Society was hit hard by Ordo, but the wealth accumulated by his people is still there, and the Red Flower Society has only taken over part of it, we must get this wealth, with this wealth, in the future, we will recruit troops and buy horses when the world is in turmoil, and oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, otherwise with our own strength, the anti-Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty are just empty words. β
"Then why don't you keep the Red Blade Sword in your hand?"
"This is also no way, now the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is becoming more and more stable, the people's hearts have long been out of mind, we want to restore the country, we must first provoke the infighting of the Qing court, the meaning of the red blade sword to Prince Rong is not trivial, without this sword, he could have fought with Prince Rong, if they don't fight, otherwise we don't even have the last chance, only the harder they fight, the greater our chance. β
Dai Duo's answer was also a little helpless.
Our Lady of the White Lotus looked at Dai Duo's eyes full of tenderness, these years Duo for the anti-Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty to the Qing court, it can be said that he has worked hard, in order to gain the trust of Prince Rong, he has killed a lot of anti-Qing righteous people, and even the title of executioner on his back, sometimes even he himself forgets, he has another identity, he is Zhu Lingming, a descendant of the former Ming royal family:" I know the bitterness in your heart, I understand, you can rest assured, although the road of recovering the Qing Dynasty is very difficult, I will definitely accompany you and go on, even if everyone abandons you, I will accompany you all the way. β
"Thank you!"
Only these two words came out of Dai Duo's mouth. β
If we are to bear me, we must be financially supported by him.
