Lu Wenkuan was riding a tiger and couldn't take back what he said. It could be said that he was forced to become brothers with Ma Hanshan. He was very unhappy in his heart, but he accepted it for the sake of the bloody horse.
Ma Hanshan's skill in beating snakes and following the stick was superb. He didn't care what Lu Wenkuan thought. After the sworn vows, while dragging Lu Wenkuan to drink, he ordered Qi Nanyue to send wine and meat to Lu Wenkuan's garrison to invite a group of soldiers.
drink wine.
Therefore, before Lu Wenkuan returned to camp, the news of his sworn sworn relationship with Ma Hanshan spread throughout the city.
Lu Wenkuan and Ma Hanshan were sworn brothers. Of course, others didn't take it seriously, but Lu Xiangru was so angry that he almost died.
Who wouldn't be angry? He was obviously the same generation as Ma Hanshan, but now he was suddenly a generation younger. He could have been called Ma Hanshan's younger brother, but now he suddenly became his uncle. He was so depressed that he was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
Ma Hanshan became the younger brother of Lu Wenkuan, the general who defended the city. Now Ma Hanshan was very busy. The wealthy businessmen, gentry and officials in the city all came to congratulate him. The so-called congratulations were of course just an excuse, mainly to give him some gifts and get acquainted with him.
Get acquainted.
Although Lu Wenkuan is a military attache, he is currently in the limelight and is very likely to be promoted. Although a military attache cannot be promoted to a civilian official, Lu Wenkuan's power in the court is different. His brother Lu Wenda is the deputy prime minister, and his power is only
It's only half a level lower than Shi Liyuan.
Therefore, Lu Wenkuan has unlimited potential, and Ma Hanshan is Lu Wenkuan's younger brother. Of course, a "sensible" person will not let go of the opportunity to interact.
In this era, all officials accept gifts openly, let alone Mahanshan?
Therefore, Ma Hanshan would not reject anyone who came, and he would accept gifts and drink wine without mercy or refuse. Unfortunately, he did not get around to the beauty someone sent him until he left Xiangfan. It was really a pity in life.
Happy days are always easy to live. In the blink of an eye, Ma Hanshan stayed in Xiangfan for seven days.
"Master, Mr. Gai sent someone to invite the young master to come over for a drink." As soon as she got up that day, Shen Hua reported to Ma Hanshan that Gai Rancong had sent someone to invite him to have a drink, and the carriage had been waiting outside the door for a long time.
If others want to make friends with Ma Hanshan, they will naturally not let go of his "personal secretary" Shen Hua. In fact, many people with dirty ideas have long regarded her as Ma Hanshan's bed-warming girl, so gifts from her are naturally indispensable.
One serving.
As a girl, of course she is happy when she has something to collect, so she has been in a particularly good mood these past few days, and has been much gentler to Ma Hanshan. Ma Hanshan thinks she calls her young master very nicely these past two days.
"Invite me to drink? Huh, please ask me to help his people remove the stitches." Ma Hanshan lit a pipe of his tea cigarettes and said.
"I have prepared the things. Master, do you want to go now?" Of course Shen Hua remembered to go to the two government officials for follow-up examination today.
"Oh, let's go..." After washing up, Ma Hanshan slowly got on the carriage sent by Gai Rancong.
The carriage stopped at the back gate of the government office. Ma Hanshan did not expect that Gai Rancong and his son would greet him at the door.
"Master Gai, you're too polite." Ma Hanshan jumped out of the car and said.
"Haha, if you come in through the front door, I will definitely not wait for you at the door, but it doesn't matter the back door, no one will see it." Gai Rencong said with a smile.
"I don't dare, I don't dare, Mr. Gai is too polite... Sir, please..." Ma Hanshan really admires this old man Gai, because this old man is really capable and has no airs, and he really manages Xiangfan well.
.
"Master Ma, please..." Gai Rencong invited Ma Hanshan to the back office and ordered the banquet to be set, but Ma Hanshan said he would go back to the doctor first.
"Sir Gai, let's give them a follow-up visit first. I think they can remove the sutures. Once the sutures are removed, I have completed the task." Ma Hanshan made two chest expansion movements and said, "They are fine. I will do the same in the next two days."
gone."
"Master Ma is going back to the mountain?" Gai Rancong was very surprised.
"Haha, that's not the case. I told you that this trip is for traveling. I will go to Ezhou first, and then go to Lin'an." Ma Hanshan said with a smile.
"Ah...um...ok...Master Ma, I have a heartfelt request." Gai Rencong had wanted to talk about the Geshibo for a long time, but he never found the opportunity.
"Master Gai, please tell me." Ma Hanshan said with a smile.
Therefore, Gai Rancong said something that he had never dreamed of. Gai Rancong actually asked him to take Gai Shiren with him when he traveled.
Bring Gaspa? What do you mean, asking me to be a nanny? Ma Hanshan was really confused. Why did Gai Rancong have such a request? Did he have other meanings?
For Mahanshan, any behavior of anyone has a purpose, and no one can escape this law unless he is not a human being.
But now he couldn't figure out what Gai Rencong's purpose was.
"Master Gai, what did you say? Please say it again." Ma Hanshan asked in shock.
"I said, I would like to ask Master Ma to allow his son to follow you." Gai Rencong just said that he asked Ma Hanshan to take his son with him when he traveled, but now he said that his son should follow him.
What he said was more precise and straightforward, but Ma Hanshan didn't understand it even more. Why?
Yes, why should you follow yourself? Only celebrities and great Confucian masters can be followed? What on earth does Gai Rencong want to do?
"Gai...Lord Gai...I...I understand, but...but I don't understand even more...I'm just a commoner, nameless and hopeless, who deserves to be followed?" Ma Hanshan said with a blank look on his face.
"Haha, there's nothing I don't understand. Children are not good at studying. If you follow the horse master, you may be able to learn some survival skills." Gai Rencong paused and said, "I am old and have to become an official. He is dressed in white...
Alas, please don’t refuse, Master Ma..."
"No, I heard that Mr. Gai is going to be promoted. Why do you talk about becoming an official? Where do you start talking about this?" Ma Hanshan finally understood Gai Rancong's idea, which was to find a way out for this incompetent young son.
.
Once a person like Gai Rencong leaves the officialdom, even if he is not killed by his political opponents, as long as the enemy gains power in the court, his descendants will never have a good life, especially those who have no fame. It is really difficult for them.
He is a fool, so letting the Gestapo follow the monster-like Mahanshan is not a bad idea.
At least, you won't starve to death, and Mahanshan can make money.
"Master Gai, you are too pessimistic." Ma Hanshan said helplessly.
"It's not pessimism, it's reality." Gai Rancong said with certainty.
Ma Hanshan can really understand that the struggle in the temple is similar to the factional struggle in the society. If you are mediocre and a low-level official who follows the crowd, you can definitely "retire" safely.
But if you want to do something, have your own ideas or support a certain party's ideas, then you must have the consciousness to be cannon fodder, and you must have the spirit of sacrifice. Therefore, many such people do not end well.
"Lord Gai, can I refuse?" Although Ma Hanshan understood Gai Rancong, he did not want to take a dude like Ge Shibao with him.
"No, but you can make conditions." Gai Rancong was also surprised and insisted on giving the Unparalleled Treasure to Ma Hanshan.
"Master Gai, I really don't know how to arrange him, let him be a follower? I dare not even if he is willing, Master Gai is a person I respect." Ma Hanshan said sincerely.
This is really a problem. If Ma Hanshan had not sworn sworn vows with Lu Wenkuan, Gestapo might have become opposite-sex brothers with Ma Hanshan. But now that Lu Wenkuan has sworn sworn vows with Ma Hanshan, Gestapo must not take this path. Otherwise, where would Lu Wenkuan's face be?
?
"I know that all the disciples of Master Ma are capable people with knowledge and skills, so I don't dare to let Master Ma accept him as a formal disciple. Or, let him be a registered disciple?" Gai Rencong thought about it.
Let’s talk about it.
Registered disciples are disciples outside the sect, similar to underground lovers... This is what Ma Hanshan understands.
Ma Hanshan thought to himself, well, this is a good arrangement. It not only maintains the relationship with Gai Rencong, but also does not cause any problems in terms of seniority. More importantly, if Gai Rencong is really suppressed by the other faction, he will not
He would be too implicated. And if Gai Rencong would not be suppressed, the friendship with him could be maintained.
"Since Mr. Gai thinks it's good, I won't say anything. However, the rules of the science sect are very strict. Everyone has to live and learn. Moreover, after returning to the village, they have to exercise every day.
Just keep going, rain or shine." Ma Hanshan nodded and approved Gai Rancong's proposal.
As for going out for exercise every day and so on, Ma Hanshan just vaccinated Gai Rancong in advance, which means that since you have given your son to me, don't be heartbroken.
"As the saying goes, once a teacher is always a father, although Xuan Ling is only a registered disciple, he must also abide by the rules of the science sect and must obey the master in everything." Gai Rencong said seriously.
"Okay, then...Gespao...you are a registered disciple, so you are exempted from the apprenticeship ceremony, and you are not required to kowtow. But the oath is indispensable. Mr. Qi, give him the oath..." Taking an oath is absolutely impossible.
It's not feudal. Even in the world of Mahanshan's previous life, all organizations and even joining a certain industry required an oath.
What Ma Hanshan didn't expect was that Gestapo was very happy to complete simple ceremonies such as taking an oath.
After a lot of trouble, Geshibo became the registered disciple of Mahanshan, the leader of the science sect. Ma Hanshan did not need Geshibo to change his name to teacher or master, but still asked Geshibo to call him boss. He, a person from another time and space, didn't care at all.
It's a small thing to call him. However, although he is still called "big boss", Geshibo obviously feels that it feels different and he always feels a little shorter.
"Little Gai..." Originally, Ma Hanshan felt that calling him "Little Gai" was a bit...a bit exaggerating, but now he felt that the name was worthy of the name. He said with a smile, "Little Gai, you have a good talk with Mr. Gai today, and we will move in tomorrow.
Go ahead and go, maybe we will set off tomorrow."
"Yes, boss." Gestapo was very happy, at least he looked very happy.
But in his heart...he was also laughing in his heart, because by staying with Ma Hanshan, there would be more opportunities for revenge.
After Ma Hanshan left the government office, he went to the city garrison camp. He was leaving tomorrow. He had to talk to Lu Wenkuan and give him some gifts.
This so-called meeting gift was supposed to be given when they became sworn friends, but he was in a hurry and it was an unexpected thing, so he was not prepared. Now that he is ready, it is just right to give it before leaving.
What gift did he give? Of course it was a big gift, a shareholder card made of jade. It looked like a jade sign to others, but it was a Zuixianjiu shareholder identity card. He wanted to give Lu Wenkuan half of Zuixianjiu's shares.
