CHAPTER XV. EXPEDITION Section 4 Colleagues
Before Fan Yuncheng went to take office, he first came to the household department to meet He Chen. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info He Chen took him quietly to a room behind the household that no one cared about, and he motioned for Fan Yuncheng to come in alone. Fan Yuncheng had no choice but to let Yan Fei stay outside the room and stepped into the hut.
He Chen pondered for a long time, not knowing how to speak to his junior brother. Fan Yuncheng didn't speak at this time, when he first entered the capital, everything that the senior brother did, now it seems that he really thinks about himself. It's just that this temperament that he would rather bend than bend has hurt himself and this senior brother.
"Senior brother, now in this Dali Temple, there are already two Dali Temple Shaoqing, one is Shi Tianyou, this Shi Tianyou used to be the teacher of His Royal Highness Xiao Ji, although he is not very old, but because of his deep relationship with His Royal Highness Xiao Ji, he has won the appreciation of the emperor today; When He Chen talked about this, he suddenly couldn't go on, he said so much, can this junior brother understand? Can he understand his own painstaking efforts for months?
"Senior brother...... I understand. Fan Yuncheng said in a low voice.
"When you were in Qiaozhou, none of the officials in the state said that you were not, and when you were transferred to Yongzhou, the people of Qiaozhou sent each other together, sending your whole family out of the ten-mile long pavilion...... I'm really happy for you for my brother. It's just that you're in the capital now...... Do you think that anyone who is an honest and honest official can go to Beijing to become a Beijing official? Isn't it against common sense for a person like you to be so honest and upright suddenly come to the capital to become an official?" He Chen said the suspicion in his heart, "Senior brother, didn't you notice it yourself?"
Fan Yuncheng didn't want to say anything at this time, what the senior brother said was strikingly similar to what Ling Xiao said, he knew in his heart that what they said was right, but how should he face it? What conspiracy was waiting for him behind this, he still didn't know anything.
"What kind of grievances do you have with Mrs. Na Hui?" He Chen asked.
Fan Yuncheng raised his head in surprise, he didn't expect that his senior brother would ask about her, he almost said it, but thinking of the consequences of saying it, he swallowed what he was about to say.
"Mrs. Nahui is very good to you, but she is extremely ...... to your younger siblings What the hell is going on?" He Chen remembered that when he talked to Madame Hui about their couple, Mrs. Hui had a completely different attitude.
"Senior brother, there are some things...... I don't know how to tell you that it doesn't matter what Mrs. Nahui does to me, but if she wants to hurt my wife, I will never let her go. Fan Yuncheng thought that she was going to be unfavorable to Ling Xiao, and the disgust in his heart increased.
"She has a very deep foundation in the capital, if you want to shake her, how easy is it? Now that you are in the capital, you must learn to be patient, don't provoke this Mrs. Hui again, Lord Shi is the emperor's person, Na Huo is the prince's person, you go to Dali Temple, you must be measured in your work, don't let the two of them be unfavorable to you. He Chen knew that Fan Yuncheng would definitely not say anything to himself at this time, he could only sigh secretly, and in the future, it would be up to his junior brother to create himself.
"Thank you for your concern, I will be more careful when I arrive at Dali Temple. Fan Yuncheng thanked his senior brother sincerely.
"Alas...... Go ahead, remember to tell me first if there is something, and don't make your own decisions. He Chen still couldn't rest assured.
"Senior brother, don't worry, after what happened to Jun'er, I will definitely be more careful!" Fan Yuncheng thought of the son who went with the army, and when he arrived in that bitter cold place, he didn't know how much suffering he had to suffer, and what happened to Fan Jun, he didn't know how much more would happen to his family in the future, so he naturally had to be more careful.
"If you think so, I'm relieved. He Chen took out two brocade bags from his arms and put them in Fan Yuncheng's hands, "These are two small gifts prepared by your sister-in-law for you, and they are meeting gifts for the two adults. ”
Fan Yuncheng hurriedly put the brocade bag back into He Chen's hand: "Senior brother, I must not let you and your sister-in-law break the bank. I need to give gifts to the two adults, my wife has already prepared them for me, so I don't have to worry too much about it. ”
"Oh?" He Chen was slightly stunned in his heart, he couldn't think of what he thought of, this Zhang Qifeng could also think of it, he pondered for a while, and asked, "I don't know what gifts my younger brother and sister prepared for the two adults?"
"Is this important?" Fan Yuncheng was stunned.
"Of course it's important, the gift is light, it's better not to give it, this gift is to give a generous gift, and I naturally have to ask for my brother. "What He Chen said is also the truth, these people who are officials in the capital, the things they ask for are naturally extraordinary things, if there are no good things to send them, I am afraid that in the future, there will never be peace in this Dali Temple.
"My wife and I have not saved much silver taels on weekdays, and I have never received gifts from colleagues on weekdays, and this gift today is quite embarrassing for my wife. Fan Yuncheng remembered that Ling Xiao was busy these days, all to prepare these two gifts.
"I know what you are like on a daily basis, so I asked my sister-in-law to prepare something for you, but you don't want it. Of course, He Chen knew what he was like as a junior brother.
"Senior brother, this is a gift from my wife for the two adults. Fan Yuncheng took out two prescriptions from his sleeve and handed them to He Chen.
He Chen took these two prescriptions with some puzzlement, read them carefully, and suddenly understood what Fan Yuncheng meant, and he was somewhat relieved in his heart.
"This is Ling ...... Ah, these are the two secret recipes that your brother and sister have collected during this time, and she has learned that Shi Tianyou is a filial son, and his mother suffers from cough and asthma, and Lord Shi has asked around for a cure for cough and asthma. If this Lord Fang Shi gets it, he will be able to relieve his mother's pain, and the other prescription is a prescription for the deficiency of women's qi and blood, and Lord Huo's wife suffers from gynecological diseases and has no heirs for many years, which is a major event that Lord Huo has never been able to let go, so your brother and sister have found these two prescriptions, and hope to ......."
"Yun Chengna, my brother and sister think so thoughtfully, but it is a hundred times better than you. He Chen interrupted Fan Yuncheng's words, and his heart was excited, "With my younger siblings by your side, I can rest assured." I can't imagine that she is a woman, and she is as good as us men, alas...... Senior brother, she thinks much higher than my senior brother. ”
Fan Yuncheng didn't answer, because of these two prescriptions, he had argued with Ling Xiao, but Ling Xiao insisted that he take them to Dali Temple and give them to the two adults as a meeting gift. Now that Ling Xiao's approach is recognized, it is inconvenient for him to say anything, just listen to them.
"Enter the Dali Temple, you must be careful in everything, do not make your own opinions, if there is anything inappropriate, remember to send someone to send a letter to me, I will give you ideas in time as a brother. ”
"Thank you, senior brother, since the Yuncheng family entered Beijing, senior brother has considered everything for me, I ...... I don't know how to thank you. Fan Yuncheng said gratefully.
"Alas...... In today's troubled times, we must not be too upright. Have you ever seen a big tree and a small grass in the wind?" He Chen sighed, "The big tree will not bend when it encounters the wind, and the final outcome is that the tree with a weak foundation will be blown down by the strong wind, and the grass that grows on the ground will fall down with the wind after the wind comes, and it can stand upright again after the wind stops." After you have been an official in the capital for a few years, you will understand it. ”
"My brother is right, and I will definitely follow my brother's teachings. Fan Yuncheng answered him honestly.
“...... Go ahead, go to Dali Temple and you will understand why the senior brother spoke like this. ”
"Then I'll go first. ”
"Remember what I said, you have to inform me of something. ”
"Little brother has written it down!"
After Fan Yuncheng and He Chen said goodbye, they rushed to Dali Temple, and when they arrived at the gate of Dali Temple, the gatekeeper stopped them. Fan Yuncheng had to get the emperor's letter of authorization and submit it. After seeing the letter of instruction, the concierge hurriedly gave a deep salute: "It turned out to be Lord Fan, the little one doesn't know your identity, and I was offended just now." ”
"There's no need to be polite, but I don't know if Master Zhu can be in there now?" Fan Yuncheng hurriedly helped the porter up, at this time he just wanted to see his old boss.
"Lord Zhu will return to his hometown and province, and it will take more than a month to come back. However, Lord Shi Tianyou and Lord Huo Siming are both inside, Master Fan can come with me, and I will take you to meet the two adults. The porter replied hurriedly.
Now there is a Zhengqing and two Shaoqing in Dali Temple, according to common sense, there is no need for him Fan Yuncheng to serve as a Shaoqing in Dali Temple. Now that the emperor has given him such a dispensable official position, what kind of scene will he have in Dali Temple, Fan Yuncheng has already thought about it in his heart, but now he has no way out, so he has to go forward.
The porter took Fan Yuncheng to the two adults and reported loudly outside the door: "Lord Shi, Lord Huo, Lord Fan Yuncheng has arrived." ”
Shi Tianyou and Huo Siming, who were holding the approval documents with a red pen in the house, heard Fan Yuncheng's name, glanced at each other, hurriedly walked out, and greeted each other: "Master Fan, look up for a long time!"
"The two adults, I failed to meet the two adults in time, and I admit that it is rude. Fan Yuncheng hurriedly returned the salute.
"Lord Fan is polite, you are also new to the capital, and you have something to do at home, this ...... We all know that we don't have to be so polite. Huo Siming preached without yin or yang.
Shi Tianyou glanced at Huo Siming slightly from the corner of his eyes, he has been an official with Huo Siming for many years, and he already knows his intention to speak like this at the moment, he is now very close to Xiao Hong, this Fan Yuncheng refused to marry his son in the palace, he has already offended the prince Xiao Hong, and this Lord Huo will naturally be unhappy for Xiao Hong. It's just that this matter has nothing to do with him, he can't offend this Fan Yuncheng because of Xiao Hong, and he won't speak to the sixth prince who will only cause trouble for the current emperor.
Fan Yuncheng took out the two prescriptions from his sleeve, one handed to Shi Tianyou, and the other to Huo Siming: "Two adults, this is a meeting gift from Humble Jing to the two adults, and I hope the two adults will laugh!"
Shi Tianyou took the prescription and looked at it, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, the prescription he had been looking for for a long time all these years was in his hands at this time, how could he not like it? He was filial to his mother, and everyone in the capital knew about it, and it seemed that this Fan Yuncheng was by no means what those people with ulterior motives said, and he was pedantic.
Na Huo Siming took the prescription in his hand, looked at it carefully, and muttered for a long time. His original wife has not given birth to a boy and a half girl for himself over the years, and he naturally has a lot of displeasure in his heart, but this lady has a great background, and she is a distant cousin in the family of the sixth prince's wife, he is hindered by Xiao Hong's face, so he naturally does not dare to take this lady away, let alone neglect her, if he goes to the prince's mansion to cry so many times, then he is afraid that he will not be able to keep it sooner or later. When he saw the prescription, he was naturally very grateful in his heart, but thinking that this person and Xiao Hong were secretly in a situation of fire and water, he naturally couldn't reveal his true thoughts.
"Mrs. Fan is so polite, how can the old man be grateful. What Shi Tianyou said was also true.
Fan Yuncheng smiled and waved his hand: "The two adults must not be so polite, this is a little bit of the heart of the clumsy Jing and Yuncheng, the courtesy is light and affectionate, and I hope the two adults will accept it." ”
"What Master Fan said, you and we will be colleagues in the future, and we will get along day and night in the future. Huo Siming also hurriedly responded.
"It's just...... Lord Zhu returned to his hometown and relatives, but I am afraid that he will not be able to come back in the next few days, Lord Fan...... As for how to arrange you, you still have to wait until Lord Zhu comes back...... I also hope that Lord Fan will have more Haihan. "Shi Tianyou is indeed a little embarrassed, the things in this Dali Temple are all arranged by Zhu Muzhi, and now that he is not coming back, this Fan Yuncheng is afraid that he will not dare to arrange it.
"Two adults, Yun Cheng came here today to learn from them, and if there is anything that needs to be promised, the two adults can open their mouths to Yun Cheng. ”
"Actually...... There's really nothing that Master Fan needs to do...... However, in this warehouse, there has been no one to manage it for a few years......" Huo Siming squinted at Shi Tianyou, and Shi Tianyou groaned for a while and did not answer. The warehouse has indeed been tidied up for a while, and Master Zhu has not been at home recently, if Fan Yuncheng can go to the warehouse and tidy up, it is indeed an excellent thing.
"Two adults, if you need Yun Cheng to go to the warehouse to help for a few days, Yun Cheng has nothing to do, and he is looking for something to do. Fan Yuncheng didn't understand what Huo Siming meant, let him do whatever he wanted at this time, he just didn't want to wander around here every day and waste a lot of time.
"Then if Lord Fan sorts out the warehouse, it will be an excellent thing......" Shi Tianyou had to follow Huo Siming's meaning and continued, "In this case, Lord Fan, please come with me, and I will take Lord Fan to the warehouse." ”
"There's Lord Laoshi!" Fan Yuncheng hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"Master Fan doesn't have to be polite, come with me. Shi Tianyou put the recipe into his sleeve and motioned for Fan Yuncheng to follow him to the warehouse.
After Fan Yun waited for Shi Tianyou to leave, he put the heavy string of keys in his hand into his sleeve bag, and slowly stepped into the warehouse covered with a thick layer of dust. In the warehouse, there were piles of copywriting reported by various states and counties over the years, and old copywriting was piled up everywhere on the shelves, desks and corners.
Yan Fei, who followed Fan Yuncheng into the warehouse, also frowned, this room is indeed dirty and messy, and even the corridor is full of copywriting, how can this be cleaned up?
At this time, Fan Yuncheng didn't care, he picked up a feather duster on the old case, took it outside the house and gently dusted it off, and then began to clean up the layers of pavilions.
"Big brother, do you really want to listen to the two of them and sort out the copywriting here?" Yan Fei asked puzzled.
"Brother Yan, what's wrong with sorting out these copywriting here? First, it has relieved a troublesome thing for the two adults, and second, it can pass a lot of time......" Fan Yuncheng didn't say any more, he had to desperately find something to do, so that he could not think about his son who traveled with the army.
Yan Fei didn't say anything more, and began to carry the copywriting scattered on the ground and help him clean it up. Although Fan Jun is not his child, for twenty years, they have been like father and son, and no one can replace the relationship between them.
Since Yuwen came back from outside in a hurry, Na Qingying quietly withdrew from Madame's room, she knew that this master would meet with Madame alone whenever he encountered an emergency, and would never allow others to be around.
After listening to Yu Wendu's words, Mrs. Na Hui was speechless for a while. This Yuwendu's words, although a little alarmist, but she is also skeptical, if the news is from Yongzhou, it is very likely that there is such a thing. But things are so strange, I have been in Yongzhou for nearly a month, that Zhang Yuanzhi has never met with him, how to know his true identity, and how to learn the news that the sixth prince Xiao Hong is going to rebel, these things are too strange to think about, and it makes people feel uneasy again.
"Madam, this news is absolutely reliable, I'm afraid that Zhang Yuanzhi will really leave any clues, we must start early, find the letter, if we start late, I'm afraid that there will be extraneous branches." Of course, Yuwen didn't want anything wrong with the sixth prince, once something happened, he and the lady in front of him, I am afraid that it will be difficult to continue to cover it up.
"I don't know where this news came from now, what are you anxious about?" asked Lady Hui with a frown.
"Madam, this matter is related to your and my lives, how can you not be in a hurry? If that Zhang Yuanzhi mentions you, me, or the prince in the letter, I am afraid that if there is a sentence that has anything to do with the rebellion, you will all die without a place to be buried. ”
"Master Yuwen, this word rebellion, I am a woman, I would never think about it, but Master Yuwen, many years ago, I thought of this matter. Mrs. Na Hui said coldly.
