Chapter 452: Reckoning
In the capital of Dayan, Fan Shou walked out of his home and was about to go to the market to buy vegetables to cook for his father. After meeting Zhuge Chen, his originally embarrassing life suddenly became rich, and Zhuge Chen put all the countless real money and silver in the mustard seeds in another mustard seed and handed it to him. At first, Shang Xue didn't want to accept such a precious gift, especially after knowing the wealth contained in it, he even refused. But Zhuge Chen just frowned, and after taking out at least ten mustard seeds that he was carrying with him like a trick, Shang Xue finally accepted it.
Although the son he serves now is a cultivator who treats mortal money as dung, this is not a reason for him to squander, so he only has three meals a day and just dips some meat oil on the green vegetables, and only during the New Year's holidays will he buy a piece of meat, and he has to eat it carefully for a few days. It is difficult to go from luxury to frugality, although he also feels in his heart that there will be a day when he will fly to the emperor Tengda by Zhuge Chen's side, but the habit that goes deep into his bones will not be changed for a while, so he can only do it first. In fact, what makes him happiest is of course not this, but his father's body is getting tougher and stronger. If we continue like this, we may be able to build a spiritual path. Although I won't become a cultivator with a high enough realm because of this opportunity, it is still excellent for the increase in lifespan. It doesn't matter how many years it takes, it is enough to see him marry a wife and have children, but it is an old man's wish.
As the old man said, it is indeed their blessing to be able to meet Zhuge Chen.
Fan Shou was walking down the street, but suddenly turned around, and from the moment he came to the market, a strange feeling had always surfaced in his heart. He looked back suspiciously, and saw that almost all of the people in the sea were ordinary people, and occasionally some cultivators were also extremely low-level rangers. Muttering to himself what a strange thing, Fan Shou came to a meat vendor. Today is his father's birthday, and the old man has spent his whole life in hardship, and it is rare that now that his family is solid, he naturally has to pay respect. After some haggling, Fan Shou bought a piece of fine pork belly. After taking it home and steaming it, it will definitely be able to make the two of them feast.
Just as he was in a trance, a middle-aged man came and collided with him. Fan Shou looked up vigilantly, only to find that the person turned out to be a colleague from before, named Hu Xian. To be honest, the two don't know each other well when they see each other, although it can't be said that they only have a one-sided relationship, but there are not many opportunities to talk on weekdays. Unexpectedly, the other party was so enthusiastic at this time that he opened his mouth and said to him: "Isn't this Fan Shou? I haven't seen you for a few days, where is Gao now?"
Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, not to mention that the two don't have any grudges. Fan Shou smiled lightly, and then said: "There is no high achievement, it's just to be a son's entourage and earn some money to support his family." ”
Hu Xian nodded thoughtfully: "Fan Shou, don't be modest, I've heard about you, it is said that you have been lucky and resigned from the guard errand." It's hard to get mixed up with an official and a half-job, and it's impossible to give up easily, so don't be modest. ”
Fan Shou, who was already wooden, stood in place and didn't know what to say. The two talked for a long time, and Fan Shou was finally ready to say goodbye and go home. Unexpectedly, Hu Xian actually stopped him and insisted on inviting him to drink, and the meaning between his words was that he wanted Fan Shou to find an opportunity to introduce Zhuge Chen to him and share the blessings.
couldn't refuse, so he had to follow Hu Xian into a restaurant. He didn't notice that when he turned his head sideways, Hu Xian had already reached out and put a note in the hand of the shopkeeper. It's not just that something is so simple, after taking the note, the shopkeeper put down the flask in his hand and trotted all the way upstairs. After opening the door of a room, there were more than a dozen guards in heavy armor. If Fan Shou was standing here, he would definitely be able to tell that these were once his peers.
And the one sitting on the chair with his back to the shopkeeper is Fan Shou's former boss. He was drinking the wine on the table, and it was lying down his neck, but he didn't notice it. Hearing only a cold snort, this person smashed the cup viciously on the ground, and then said: "Fan Shou, this guy, dare to betray me." I thought I treated him well, and I just left a letter and wanted to cut us off. How can there be such an easy thing in the world? Today I want you to escort this bold Fan Shou to me, I want to ask face to face which son's son he is doing now!"
A group of guards claimed to be, then pulled out the long knife on their waists, and was about to go downstairs to capture Fan Shou. But when he was about to act, he was stopped by the man: "Don't be so anxious, let him Fan Shou spend the last time of his life peacefully!"
Fan Shou downstairs naturally did not have a premonition of the coming crisis, under the effect of fine wine, he had already emptied his mind at this moment, and he had a good time with Hu Xian. TXT Book House
Hu Xian looked at the other party's appearance, and couldn't help but start spying on the intelligence: "Fan Shou, although the two of us didn't have anything to do with each other before, I have always regarded you as a confidant in my heart." Drinking together today strengthened this idea in my heart. ”
It is said that there are fewer drinks for a thousand confidants, but for Fan Shou, who usually does not drink alcohol, but likes to be unscrupulous when drunk, in the face of the rare opportunity of the moment, he still nodded heavily. In the past, life was difficult, although he was a small leader among the guards, but after all, his father had been sick and lying in bed, and every day he asked for precious medicinal materials to relieve the pain, and often could not make ends meet. Even if Fan Shou is greedy, he will not use the extra money to buy wine and drink. Because in this way, the father and son can't even fill their stomachs. Although he is no longer a child, the father who sells it still often talks about my family's Fan Shou being the most sensible.
When the snow falls and then melts, it is the coldest day of winter. Fan Shou didn't have the money to buy coal that could warm up their dilapidated house, so he could only buy a slightly worse one with the silver money, and just light the fire in his father's house, while he stayed in the leaky house on all sides, and it didn't matter whether he was covered or not, in short, it was cold to the bone. Although he is a cultivator, the steep spring cold is something that an ordinary grandmaster can endure. I fell asleep in a trembling mood, and I don't know how many times I would wake up in a night.
Now that the days are good, this wine should be regarded as a practice for the past self!
Fan Shou thought like this, so he said: "Brother Hu's meaning is just like me, you know me!"
Hu Xian saw that Fan Shou had already been set, and then continued: "Dare to ask Brother Fan, who is the prince you are serving now? Could it be that the heirs of those executives in the capital whose ancestors held important positions in the imperial court? If this is the case, I, Hu Xianke, have to congratulate you." But you don't know that our big boss is notoriously jealous. If the identity of that son can make the leader jealous, if not, you will suffer!"
"Thank you Brother Hu for reminding me, but this issue is not a cause for concern. Fan Shou burped, picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, and couldn't hide his proud expression: "The son I serve is not simple, and in our eyes, the means of the head and the end are naturally hands and eyes." Compared to my son, he can't be put on the table!"
Hu Xian was naturally taken aback when he heard this, he knew that Fan Shou was not the kind of person who liked to speak wildly, and the two had been diligent and diligent when they worked together, and he didn't know the twists and turns of observing words and expressions in the officialdom. To be able to achieve the original position, it depends on your real strength.
On the one hand, because of his family background, he was not only born in a family family, but also the son-in-law of the current military department. The position of commanding the guards of the capital seems to be small, but it is indeed a lowly and powerful position. In any case, it is also at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and it is even more common to send others to prison according to their own preferences. Not only that, but the sworn brother of this big boss is one of the court's worshippers, and the silver jade plate in his hand is still in his hand, which makes him even more unscrupulous at this time. When I was young, I walked sideways in this capital, and I don't know how many ribs of the children of the family were broken with my own evil slaves. Although the punishment after that was indispensable, he still lived peacefully to the present. In the final analysis, it is still the ability to see the wind and make the rudder, and even a little stronger than yourself will never be provoked, and you will pick soft persimmons to pinch.
Thirty years ago, the head of the young evils in the capital was this Zhu Kuang.
"It's so better, I look forward to Brother Fan being able to make a name for himself in the capital in the future!" Although he said so, after thinking about it, Hu Xian still didn't believe it. If you really want to think about what Fan Shou said, it is not that there are no such children of the family in the capital, but they definitely don't look down on Fan Shou. A guard who was originally a heavenly base and is now lucky, although it can't be said that there is a lot of money among those long-inherited families in the capital, but in short, there are a lot of them. His heart was ready to see the next good show, so he poured himself a full wine, squinted and smiled.
Fan Shou didn't know what to do, and after clashing glasses with Hu Xian, he drank them all, and then heard a noise coming from behind him. Just as he turned around, he heard a strange voice behind him: "Fan Shou, is he quite capable, he can't even betray himself?"
