For several days in a row, no matter the upper-class officials and nobles, the middle-class people studying and doing business, or the low-level traffickers and lackeys, they were all overwhelmed by one incident after another. But what the people cared about was that
There were a few scandals, but things were different in the officialdom.
Ye Guang, the commander and colleague in charge of Fusi in Jinyiwei North Town, suddenly came to Nanjing on orders to handle the case. Everyone from the big bosses of the Sixth Department of Nanjing to the officials of the Ministry of Science and Technology were very dissatisfied. In addition, Zhao Qin was very popular on weekdays, so he took action again and again.
Being generous, it’s not like no one thought of saying a few words for him. However, when Nanjing Imperial Academy Jiu Zhang Mao publicly said at a cultural meeting of the Four Gentlemen of Nandu that he had misjudged Zhao Qin, he regretted that he should have impeached such a polite scum earlier.
After that, the people in the Qing Dynasty were silent for a while, and even the few people in the history who often wrote in the same mood as Zhao Qin remained silent.
Compared with other people's affairs, Zhang Mao really hated that he was blind in the first place, but he actually thought that Zhao Qin's words and deeds were consistent, and he was a trustworthy person. Because this incident also affected him
When he arrived at the Imperial College, he simply closed the door and reorganized it for three days. He finally took a break this day, but unexpectedly, a prison student suddenly stumbled in, knocked him to the ground and kowtowed. In surprise, he spoke.
He asked, almost getting angry at what this person said.
The so-called cheating of Fu Heng'an was actually brought to light after he received a gift of a hundred taels of silver from a Qing guest of the Zhao family!
Zhang Mao never expected that after decades of teaching, he had only seen poor students with noble character, but in the end he was fooled by others. This time, he was so clever that he didn't dare to use it all.
After hearing the letter, he immediately changed his official uniform and went straight to Nanjing Jinyiwei to see Ye Guang. After going around and around, he saw the Qingke of the Zhao family who was also in prison for the incident and questioned him fiercely. The man was afraid that he would take the blame, so he immediately turned Zhao Qin back.
Sold. After being released from prison, Mr. Zhang, who was filled with regret and regret, kept saying this to everyone he met.
"I have been treating people with sincerity all my life, but I was fooled by such a polite scum!"
Relying on Hao Mao's prestige among the scholars, such a strange news spread in an instant. In addition, Zhang Mao was also able to let go of his arrogance and actually went to the guarding eunuch's house in person. He also
Fu Rong was not seen, but Fu Heng'an was called out to meet him, and he apologized shockingly, which shocked the whole school, and Zhao Qin's crimes were indispensably added to his list.
Compared with other people, these various topics are just a little more talkative, but as one of the parties involved, Fu Rong's feelings are naturally different. On this day Xu Xun came to the door, and he immediately ordered the cook to set up a table at the waterside pavilion in the garden
During the sumptuous banquet, they actually took Xu Xun by the hand and walked around the huge back garden of their house. After they were seated, they personally held the pot and poured Xu Xun a drink.
"Father, how dare you do this!"
"Deserve it!" People are in high spirits during happy events. Fu Rong's face was full of spring breeze. He took the full glass of wine with both hands and stuffed it into Xu Xun's hand. Then he raised the glass in front of him and drank it all.
He smiled happily and said, "This is the first glass of wine that our family would like to celebrate your bold plan! Without Ye Guang and his people coming down from the capital, our family would not be able to see the light of day. But without your boldness to cause trouble, without your guidance to Heng'an,
When did Zhang Mao ever submit to others? With this alone, Heng'an will be able to behave like a human being from now on! Don't say that the prison student who came to Zhang Mao and cried bitterly and told the truth has nothing to do with you. Our family will not give it to you
You were fooled!"
"Eunuch Fu, you think highly of me. There was such a commotion in the Imperial College before, and Zhao Qin's case made a big fuss. The prison student did something wrong and was said to him intentionally or unintentionally by others all day long. How can he still do it?
Can he survive? As for the Qing guest in the Zhao family, he just accepted Zhao Qin's money. It is already unlucky to be in jail with him now. Is it necessary to take such a blame for someone else? Naturally, it is inevitable.
Tell the whole truth to that Chief Sicheng."
"Good fortune teller, good boy!"
It was rare in Fu Rong's life that he was able to express his skill to the fullest. At this moment, he couldn't even find anything else to say. After saying it twice in a row, he filled the pot again for Xu Xun.
Without waiting for Xu Xun to refuse, he pressed the opponent's hand without any explanation.
"This second cup, we respect you for keeping your word! Chen Lu said, Ye Guangyan offered you an offer, but you didn't agree?"
"Ah, how did Mr. Chen know..." Xu Xun blurted out. Seeing Fu Rong looking at him with a smile and gesturing to the wine glass in front of him, he raised the glass and drank first, and then said helplessly, "My father-in-law Ming Jian, Bei
Naturally, I am attracted by the name of the Zhenfu Division, but how old I am now, and I am not from a military background, which of the lieutenants below can convince me? People are self-aware, and my little cleverness is thanks to my father-in-law who trusts me.
I, Lord Ye, are just hearsay, if you really use me, you may regret it in the future, and won’t I be even more embarrassed then?”
When Fu Rong saw that Xu Xun did not take the opportunity to express his loyalty to him, the smile on his face deepened, and his eyes almost narrowed to a slit. He had seen many people who were arrogant and arrogant, but people with self-awareness came towards him.
It's strange, after all, people can see others clearly in the world, but it's hardest for them to see themselves clearly.
So, after he nodded, he put away his smile and leaned back on the wicker chair.
, "Very good, you are very good. We might as well tell you the truth. I remember when our family was under house arrest by that Fei Kai, when we heard that Zhang Mao from the Imperial College was going to do something wrong again, what I hated the most was
You. If you knew it wasn't your big talk, our family would have brought Heng'an back a long time ago! Now times have changed, and I am very happy to see that our stupid son is not only cheerful, but also no longer taciturn in front of our family.
I'm so happy that I can't tell you! No matter how prominent I am now, I will be nothing but a pile of dust once I let go, so the one I can't worry about the most is him. I'm actually happier that he can be sensible and successful than if he were to be promoted to the Master of Ceremonies right away!"
Fu Rong would only call himself me when talking to his family, but now he couldn't help but change his self-identity as he spoke, and his words were even a little incoherent. Xu Xun couldn't tell. So, he quickly drank the glass of wine in front of him and grabbed the jug.
He poured a glass for Fu Rongman, held it with both hands, and then smiled and said, "Actually, Mr. Fu is just too kind-hearted and always has a bit of inferiority complex. Now his heart is the same as before, but he is much more confident. He will definitely be able to support himself in the future."
Get up with the Fu family!"
,"well said!"
After Fu Rong took Xu Xun's drink, he saw Xu Xun pouring himself a full drink, and he drank it all with his neck tilted back. After three drinks in a row, sweat gradually appeared on his forehead, and he joked a few words before getting down to business.
, only to see a young eunuch who was guarding outside quickly come in and kowtow: "Master, the eldest young master and eldest lady are here!"
, "Heng'an is back again?" Fu Rong was stunned and turned around. Seeing Fu Heng'an and Fu Jin entering the water pavilion one after another, he immediately laughed. Xu Xun quickly stood up, and when the brother and sister came forward, he was about to
They wanted to meet each other, but it was no surprise that they both bowed deeply to him at the same time. He was stunned, and he hurriedly reached out to help him, but failed to return the courtesy.
, "Brother Xu, listening to your words is worth ten years of reading. So when I heard from Fang Mo that you were coming today, I specifically asked for leave from Da Sicheng and rushed back."
Xu Xun didn't expect Fu Heng'an to come back specifically to see him, and was stunned.
Fu Jin on the side smiled and interjected: "Today I not only went to Mr. Xu to thank you, but also went to you to apologize. My eldest brother, an idiot, didn't mind telling the truth and told the whole story honestly to Mr. Zhang.
I’ve already said it. What he said was that he almost wanted to commit suicide because he was afraid of being embarrassed, but he was slapped by Mr. Xu and taught him a lesson. Later, Mr. Xu sneaked into the Imperial Academy several times to chat with him. If it weren’t for the old gentleman, he is finally not so stubborn now.
Well, just because Mr. Xu sneaked into the Imperial College, you have caused trouble for others!"
Fu Heng'an disagreed: "Even if there are some violations, they are all done openly. Da Sicheng is not a rigid person. Not only did he not blame him, he was also very interested. He said he wanted to meet Brother Xu in the future.
!”
God, this Fu Heng'an is too honest. He actually told Zhang Mao all those things?
At this moment, Xu Xun was only happy that when he sneaked into the Imperial College several times later, he did not reveal his daring plans to Fu Heng'an. Otherwise, with the virtue of this nerd, he might have sold them all after changing hands.
Fu Rong couldn't help but laugh loudly when he saw Xu Xun's expression. After a long time, he ordered a couple of bowls and chopsticks and asked a pair of children to accompany him to the table. But Fu Jin was a woman after all. After sitting for a while, she smiled and left.
He also looked at Xu Xun with great interest for a while.
After all, Fu Hengan has been a dull person for many years. Nowadays, he can talk a lot, but his words are limited. Most of the time, Xu Xun is talking. Because of Mr. Fu, he naturally does not dare to say anything serious and only picks up some interesting things.
They chatted freely until a young eunuch came in and joked that his wife was thinking about the eldest young master after she learned that he was back. Fu Heng'an stood up and said goodbye. Before leaving, he pulled Xu Xun and asked him to try to study and gain fame. Xu Xun temporarily asked Xu Xun
Extremely embarrassed.
, "Heng'an is like this, just think that he didn't say those words! He was spoiled by our family. He thought that other eunuchs would have three or four adopted sons under their lap. As a result, he ended up having a big fight over the family business.
, so I only focused on raising him and Jin'er." Fu Rong was also made to laugh and cry by his adopted son. He explained with a smile, and he suddenly said casually, "Xu Xun, you have met our daughter a few times.
What do you think of her?"
Fu Rong suddenly mentioned his adopted daughter Fu Jin. Xu Xun was caught off guard, but he still tried his best to say in the most natural tone: "Miss Fu? Miss Fu is the apple of my father-in-law's eye. She is naturally smart, smart, generous and decent."
, "Hahaha, you do know how to say something nice! This is a beautiful girl, a gentle lady, and a gentleman is very jealous. I don't know who will be lucky enough to marry her in the future."
If it was just a bad premonition just now, Xu Xun was really on pins and needles at this moment. Just as he was wondering whether to tactfully divert the words, or simply hold out the engagement contract between himself and Shen Yue to block it, outside
There came a voice that was like celestial music to him at this time.
, "Eunuch, someone from the Xu family sent a message outside that something happened at home. Please
