Chapter three hundred and sixty fifth sense of security (seeking the moon
Shang Ming's matter is a minor matter for the time being. No matter what, Fang Yingwu doesn't have much time to think about it at this time. There are some more important things at the moment. After calling Fang Yingshi back to the team, Fang Yingwu continued to walk towards Liu's Mansion.
Fang Yingshi followed and asked weakly: "Brother Qiu, why don't you go to the West Factory first and talk to Eunuch Wang about the situation? Even if he doesn't let Eunuch Shang go, don't let the little boy get hurt."
Fang Yingwu slapped his face angrily, "Who am I? If I am not fully prepared and others see me looking for Wang Zhi, what will I think? So I won't go looking for him publicly! Don't worry about this, wait.
When you get home, just repair the book and explain it to Wang Zhi.
Also, when Shang Ming sent a girl to come to you and pretend to be pitiful, do you really think that he is in a critical situation and can be manipulated by others? He just sacrificed his body and deliberately lowered his head to show his intention to make amends! If you think that he
He is already in danger and may collapse casually, which would be a big mistake. As long as the emperor does not give up on him, it will not be easy to win over him!"
Fang Yingshi touched his forehead and said with a sad face: "It's such a waste of time. I don't want to think about it anymore. Brother Qiu, just worry about it for me!"
But when it came to the Liu Mansion, Liu Mianhua was reading in the study at this time. When he saw Fang Yingwu come in, he accepted Fang Yingwu's salute with a smile on his face, and then motioned for Fang Yingwu to sit down on the Taishi chair next to him.
Fang Yingwu took the initiative and said: "A few days ago, my son-in-law and I were in prison and had no contact with the outside world. I think Lao Taishan must have worked hard in the temple to protect my son-in-law. Now that I have been released from prison today, I
My son-in-law came here specially to say thank you."
Liu Ji put down the book and waved his hand gently. "If we don't speak the same language as the other families, why are we talking about these things? But you are indeed in danger this time. Fortunately, God has favored you and asked Lao Qingyunhou to save you in a dream.
You may not have such good luck in the future.”
While Liu Mianhua was talking, he secretly looked at Fang Yingwu's demeanor. Looking left and right, he couldn't tell... Is the dream entrusted by Marquis Qingyun real or did he make it up?
If there is really a dream, it means that the son-in-law is blessed with good luck and protected by gods; if the dream is made up, how did Fang Yingwu know where Zhou Jixiang, the youngest brother of the Queen Mother, is?
The emperor has been searching for more than ten years but has not found it. Why can Fang Yingwu know his whereabouts so easily? The ability hidden behind this is even more terrifying.
With Liu Mianhua's knowledge, experience and vision, as well as his understanding of Fang Yingwu, he increasingly felt that there was a mysterious power behind Fang Yingwu that he could not understand, and it was also a mysterious power that could not be described in words. Could this be what the history books said?
Destiny? Liu Mianhua thought suspiciously.
Of course Fang Yingwu understood that Lao Taishan wanted to know the secret, but he would definitely not tell it, and he could not tell it. He could only let him be suspicious.
Then I heard Lao Taishan say: "Speaking of it, the day after tomorrow is the day of marriage... Although you are in prison these days, our Liu family is still preparing for the marriage. Even if you cannot be released from prison, we will send the couple to
I will marry you in prison!"
Regardless of whether Liu Mianmian is doing it out of political judgment or he is really emotional and trustworthy, this attitude is enough. Fang Yingwu was moved and replied: "Old Taishan's love for my son-in-law is really worth mentioning."
Even if I try my best, I will never be able to repay you!"
Originally, Fang Yingwu came to the door, intending to mention the matter of getting married first. After the marriage was confirmed, the family relationship became stronger, and then he would talk to Liu Mianhua about becoming the county magistrate in the future. You know, looking for a backer to help.
, it is also a very technical matter.
Now Liu Mianmian took the initiative to talk about the marriage, which saved Fang Yingwu a lot of words. After the preparation was completed, there was nothing else to do next. Fang Yingwu asked for help: "My son-in-law's future is gradually becoming clearer now. I'm afraid that he will die in a few days."
You have to go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to get your certificate of prosecution. You don't have to leave the city to take office, it's easier.
It's just that Wanping County is located at the foot of the emperor, and there are many things to do in the palace. My son-in-law is worried that he won't get it right and will miss the government's entrustment. I hope that Lao Taishan will give me some support and help me get on my horse and start my journey."
Academician Liu didn't have any objections. He nodded and said, "What the wise son-in-law said is absolutely correct."
When they were about to have a deep conversation, suddenly the steward of the Liu Mansion rushed in with a dusty man. Then the man threw himself to the ground and cried loudly: "Uncle! The great master of the family is gone!"
Fang Yingwu understood immediately when he heard it. This must be the death of University Scholar Liu's father, and his nephews and nephews came from Baoding Mansion to report the funeral!
Although he had long heard that the old gentleman was critically ill, he had not heard the bad news for a while, so he had forgotten about it. But he did not expect such a coincidence that he would pass away at this critical moment...
What an unexpected event! No matter how you look at it, this is not a good thing for you.
Looking at Bachelor Liu again, he saw that he had a dull look on his face and was standing motionless in the room. Fang Yingwu did not dare to touch him for fear of being startled. The same was true for the manager of the Liu Mansion, so a circle of people surrounded Liu
The Grand Maester also remained motionless.
I don't know how long it took, but Liu Ji came to his senses and sighed sadly. Suppressing his grief, he said to the manager of the Liu Mansion: "You go to Zhangluo Mansion to hold the funeral. First, set up a mourning hall to pay homage to your relatives from a distance."
Then Liu Ji walked to the desk and picked up the pen to write something. Fang Yingwu knew that he was going to write a memorial to Ding You, so he quickly stepped forward to polish the ink. No matter what official, as soon as he receives a funeral report of the death of his parents, he should write it immediately
Ding Youzuo Shu, this is a prescribed action.
However, University Scholar Liu's hands shook and he wrote a few strokes that could not be written. Then he put down his pen and said to the other party: "I dictated, and you will write for me."
Fang Yingwu picked up the pen again and respectfully took over the writing for Academician Liu, trying his best to write as neatly as possible. Half an hour later, after finishing the memorial of several hundred words, Liu Ji took it over and read it again, and then folded it up.
Seal it.
Fang Yingwu wanted to know in his heart, did Lao Taishan really want Ding You now, or was he planning to write Ding You's memorial and work secretly to win his love, even at the cost of infamy? With Liu Mianhua's ability and face,
It will work successfully, history can prove it.
Although Fang Yingwu felt that he had a confidant relationship with Liu Mianhua, it was inappropriate to ask this question at this moment, and it really seemed ignorant. After enduring it, he still did not ask.
Nothing happened next. The Liu Mansion was busy preparing, and Fang Yingwu had not officially married Miss Liu Mansion. He was not considered a relative, so he could not help, so he could only say goodbye and leave, and come to pay his respects at another time.
When parting, Grand Scholar Liu said to Fang Yingwu: "God is not kind to me. This marriage is not at the right time. I'm afraid it won't be possible for the time being, but the engagement is still valid."
Good things come in a long way. There are twists and turns... Fang Yingwu said helplessly: "Save it for me, son-in-law."
Academician Liu thought for a while and then said: "Besides, I have a desire in my heart." With Liu Mianhua's eyesight, he could certainly see what Fang Yingwu was thinking, so he took the initiative to express his thoughts.
There is no need to hide it at this time, otherwise it may lead to misunderstandings, especially when it comes to Fang Yingwu, who has a very thoughtful approach. However, Academician Liu only explained his plan and did not explain the detailed reasons.
Fang Yingwu was stunned for a moment and replied again: "Son-in-law, don't worry."
Originally, his attitude towards whether Liu Mianhua was Ding You was indispensable - if Liu Mianhua went against the trend of history and Ding You really returned to his hometown, then he could use the opportunity to get rid of Liu Mianhua's influence and create his own banner; if Liu Mianhua was Ding You,
He refuses to worry about Ding and still insists on being in power. That is not necessarily a bad thing, at least he has a very practical backer.
But the prerequisite for being able to have both sides as mentioned above is that if you hold a clear position in the court, you can comment on the government's affairs when you advance, and you can be unable to retreat when you retreat. If you can advance and retreat freely, you can achieve enlightenment.
But now the situation is different. He is about to serve as the magistrate of Beijing County with complicated affairs. He has to deal with countless high-level people. The benefits of Liu Mianmian staying in Beijing are obviously greater than the benefits of Ding You returning to his hometown.
Fang Yingwu boldly asked: "If old Taishan Dingyou returns to his hometown, what will happen to the marriage?" Liu Ji replied with great sadness: "My daughter is only fourteen this year, and she will only be seventeen in three years. She is still a good match.
....."
After coming out of Liu's Mansion, Fang Yingwu walked along the alleyway with his head lowered, speechless all the way, and found himself immersed in inexplicable fear.
If you serve as an official in Guo County, the capital city's most complex ecological environment, if you don't think about making progress or seeking improvement, you can still get by. The worst-case scenario is that you will be judged as incompetent or mediocre.
But he Fang Yingwu is not this kind of person. He has stepped into the superstructure after many years of hardship. How can he miss the opportunity to strive for the upper reaches and make a difference? In this way, he can live up to the great Ming Dynasty, so he does not want to sit down and eat nothing.
However, without the support of strong people, it is impossible to make a difference in Jingxian County. It is even difficult to be the county magistrate safely.
In one-third of an acre of land in Wanping County, there are not even ten thousand but thousands of people with higher grades than other places. If a person is crushed to death by a senior official, how many people can crush him to death? And the county magistrate is not like Qingliu, who is a sinecure.
As long as you stay out of trouble and don't cause trouble, you'll be fine. You can't avoid those chores!
Let’s just say that among the three pavilion veterans, apart from Liu Mianmian, which one is easier for me to get along with? Without Liu Mianmian, then...
Originally, Fang Yingwu didn't have any intuitive feelings, but now when he thinks that Liu Mianhua will be away for two or three years, he feels a little guilty. Is it true that you can only appreciate something when it is lost? And now, Fang Yingwu can't feel it anymore.
He is no longer a fearless young man who goes barefoot and is not afraid of wearing shoes.
By this time, it was getting dark. Seeing that Fang Yingwu was not in a good mood, Wang Ying chatted and said, "The eldest master has probably returned home from the Yamen. Brother Qiu, you should be able to see me when you return."
No! Fang Yingwu suddenly stood still, then turned around and headed further north. Two followers quickly followed and asked, "Where are you going, Brother Qiu?"
Fang Yingwu replied without looking back: "Go to Lingji Palace West Factory!" Fang Yingshi behind him was stunned when he heard this, and asked: "Brother Qiu, didn't you say during the day that you had to pay attention to your status and it was inconvenient to go to Wang Gong?
What?"
Wang Ying hurriedly hit Fang Yingshi on the head, "Idiot! Brother Qiu has his own ideas, don't you know the truth of this moment and that moment!"
Fang Yingwu found that he was extremely eager to see the Admiral of the West Factory at this time. Without Liu Mianhua, Wang Zhi was probably the only one who could give him a sense of security and real help. As for his father, it would be nice if he didn't get tricked by him...
