After careful consideration, Fang Yingwu decided to forgive Mr. Xiang and not put him back in jail. After all, he had been in jail for a day and had no idea what was going on outside. His heartless behavior was understandable.
.
However, Fang Yingwu found that he was a little envious of Mr. Xiang. Now he and Xiang Chengxian were not much different in terms of their own conditions. They were both famous for their success, but Mr. Xiang could live such a happy life, unlike him.
Worrying and worrying.
After thinking about it, is it because I subconsciously have a curiosity and yearning for the superstructure that I don't want to miss the opportunity in this life? In my previous life, I often laughed at myself and said that Chinese people like to talk about politics, and I am not immune to it when it's my turn.
Or maybe it’s because I majored in Ming history in my previous life, and after time travel, I saw that what I had learned in my life could be put to use, and I felt anxious. Otherwise, what would I have learned? If I don’t use my dragon-slaying skills, what’s the value of life?
Silent all the way, Fang Yingwu and Xiang Chengxian taunted each other while wandering back to Xicheng. When they were about to get home, Fang Yingwu suddenly slapped his forehead, suddenly remembered something, and said to Xiang Chengxian: "You go alone first
When I go back, I have to go to another place."
After that, Fang Yingwu didn't explain much, and walked in another direction without looking back. "It's quite mysterious..." Xiang Chengxian didn't pay attention, and after muttering a few words, he shook his head and returned to his residence.
Another quarter of an hour later, the sky had already darkened, but Fang Yingwu appeared outside the gate of Grand Scholar Liu's Mansion. Of course, this Liu Mansion was Liu Mianmian's Liu Mansion, not Liu Jue's Liu Mansion, and Fang Yingwu didn't have the guts to do so.
Go and break into Liu Jue's house.
The reason why he rushed here in a hurry was because Fang Yingwu suddenly thought that Liu Mianhua was a cabinet bachelor. If he saw the memorials of Yu Yushi and Zhang Bulang, or if the news about himself and Liu Ergong spread to Liu Mianhua,
When it arrives, what will he think?
So far, Liu Mianhua is the most likely future father-in-law. And when a father-in-law looks at sexy news about his son-in-law, his mood and perspective are definitely not the same as when other people look at sexy news about unrelated people...
..
What's more, Fang Yingwu is currently in a critical period of investigation. If Liu Mianmian feels that he is not respected and does something irrational in anger, then Fang Yingwu will lose more than he gains.
Even if Liu Mianhua was generous and did not blame him, Fang Yingwu knew that he had to go to the door and explain carefully as soon as possible. At least this was a sign of a correct attitude after making a mistake.
Liu Mianmian is a meticulous person. It is impossible for such a person not to care about details. If Fang Yingwu fails to come to the door, it is a kind of detail error, and he will definitely be blamed.
Gossip aside, Fang Yingwu's treatment in the Liu Mansion is quite good, almost close to the treatment of relatives. As the saying goes, the prime minister has a seventh-rank official in front of him, but the Liu Mansion's gatekeeper is very polite, and Fang Yingwu does not show the seventh-rank official.
shelf.
Fang Yingwu only showed his face to the concierge, and was led smoothly to the study room in the inner courtyard. After waiting for a while, Liu Ji, wearing a home satin robe, walked in leisurely from behind the curtain of the study room.
Sitting firmly on the couch, Liu Ji casually asked the other party: "I haven't seen you for a few days, how have you been studying? Now that spring is less than half a month away, how are you preparing?"
Fang Yingwu replied in a very formulaic manner: "I have been studying hard behind closed doors for many days, trying to figure out the current situation. I have no other thoughts but to do my best."
Liu Ji nodded, "Don't disappoint me."
Fang Yingwu had the urge to ask. So what if I disappoint you? But he definitely couldn't ask, not because he was afraid of hearing a depressing answer. The main reason was because it seemed too childish to ask, which affected Liu Mianhua.
perception of oneself.
After the greetings were completed, Liu Mianhua asked again: "You suddenly came at this time. Something urgent happened?"
When Fang Yingwu opened his mouth, he felt that he was really embarrassed to talk about it, but he had to say it. He gritted his teeth and told the story of what happened today in detail. The details were the performance of Mr. Liu Er, briefly.
It was the details of his relationship with Miss Du Xiangqin. Then Fang Yingwu shut his mouth and waited quietly for Liu Mianhua's reaction.
Liu Ji was indeed surprised. He was stunned for a moment, and then his slender eyes suddenly widened into round shapes, and he almost roared: "I think you are a young man with talent and character, so I have always valued you very much! But!
I didn’t expect that you also have problems with your character!”
Fang Yingwu was greatly confused. What kind of language was Liu Mianhua talking about? Why couldn't he understand it? He could only subconsciously explain vaguely: "What does this... have to do with character? Boy, I just suffered a lot today."
It was an unforeseen disaster, it was just an accident. I am still me, and my character is still very strong!"
Liu Mianhua was not polite and continued to scold: "What is character? When you risked your life to save your father, you were loyal, filial, and righteous. This is called character; when you were at the frontier, you were not depressed and had the courage to make contributions. This is called character!"
You dare to go around alone and expose the corruption and bribery of officials, this is called character!"
Fang Yingwu suddenly realized that his character was nothing compared to character. The character Liu Mianmian mentioned refers to the character in other people's mouths, that is, the reputation and reputation he has created.
But Fang Yingwu still didn't understand. The reaction of Academician Liu was too strange. Why didn't he care about whether he could live up to his expectations, but only cared about his "character", and was even more anxious than his client? He
You've always been very sensible, don't you think you're overreacting this time?
As if seeing Fang Yingwu's doubts, Liu Mianhua snorted coldly: "I don't lack fame, wealth, power, and wealth. What I value most is your character. Why don't you love yourself so much? If you lose your character,
What else do you have?"
Fang Yingwu is indeed a person who can understand Liu Mianhua well. He understands Liu Mianhua's meaning instantly. The so-called "valuing character" is just a beautification. In fact, the original meaning should be "coveting for fame."
.
Although Scholar Liu was ridiculed by the scholars as a piece of cotton, his desire to clear his name never changed. The last time he was willing to save his father was also for the purpose of gaining fame, but the effect was not ideal.
On the contrary, my father and son are both well-known clean streams. They have been to prisons and flowed across borders. They are all strong in all indicators, and they are also linked to Wang Shu, a famous official in the country.
Marriage with the Fang family, for Liu Mianhua, who is only two steps away from reaching the top, isn't it a good idea to learn from each other's strengths? There is no need to use this to clear his name, it is not a bad thing to have another relationship with Qingliu, because one more relationship means one more path.
It can even be said that this is a pre-arrangement for the future. Imagine that one day, Qingliu Zhengren counterattacks and the Fang family father and son become trend-setters. Can they kill Liu Mianhua? So the opponent should respond.
Liu Mianhua takes reputation very seriously, even more important than his own reputation.
It turns out that Liu Mianmian's layout has this layer of thinking... Fang Yingwu thought it over thoroughly and sighed secretly. He is worthy of being a roly-poly who dominates the political arena, and he cannot refuse to accept it. Compared with his old man's cultivation level, he is indeed inferior.
A cut.
After Liu Mianmian was angry, he returned to his calm state, stroking his beard and saying: "It's useless to scold you at this time. If something goes wrong, just do your best to make it right. You must find a way to not affect your reputation. And you have to double up."
Be careful of Liu Shuwen's schemes, he is a very face-saving person and will do whatever it takes to save face."
Liu Shuwen is the second assistant Liu Jue, also known as Shuwen. There are few people in the world who can directly call him Liu Shuwen. Liu Mianhua, who has a similar status, is one of them.
"Yes, yes." Fang Yingwu responded. Since Liu Mianhua deliberately pointed out that he should be careful of Liu Jue, it must not be for no reason. So he considered in his mind whether to ask Liu Mianhua for specific guidance again? After all, Liu Mianhua was more familiar with it.
Liu Jue’s temperament and behavior pattern.
At this moment, Liu Ji suddenly slapped the case, which shocked Fang Yingwu. He didn't know what happened to Liu Mianhua.
Liu Mianhua suddenly had an angry look on his face, pointed his finger like a halberd, and scolded Fang Yingwu: "I value you so much that I have the idea of recruiting you as my son-in-law, but you actually went to look for flowers and women, and caused such a big scandal. How disrespectful to put my Liu family in this place.
It’s all in your eyes, do you really think that I have to marry my daughter to you?”
Fang Yingwu was choked and speechless for a long time. This is like the words and actions of his future father-in-law. Did you just react now? What were you thinking about when you said all those words?
The thinking mode of high-end politicians is indeed different from ordinary people... They analyze the pros and cons in advance and then have various emotions. It seems to have become almost instinctive. (To be continued...)
