Chapter 428 Eat your fill
“Uncle~~~”
What is a natural beauty? Uncle Zheng has finally seen it this time. Compared with the woman in front of him, the woman in the pavilion outside is The Twelve Beauties who hold a poetry meeting are simply a group of junior high school students.
Zheng Fan felt that he was a person with strong self-control, but at this moment, he could no longer control himself.
Siniang is not here again,
The meat that was brought to your mouth for free
If you don't take a bite, you may fail Fan Zhengwen's kindness to you. At the same time, it may also affect your cooperation with the Fan family and the subsequent success or failure of Princess Jie. It will affect the Yan-Chu War, and then the overall situation in the East, and ultimately the pattern of the entire world.
Liu Ruqing didn’t know why she was so afraid of the man in front of her.
When his eyes fell on her,
she would instinctively feel a kind of fear.
It was as if a wild beast had put its fangs on his shoulders, making him unable to control himself.
This is actually a very normal thing. Although the Fan family is a slave of the Qu family, the Qu family is one of the top aristocrats in Chu, otherwise they would not have the status of Zhuguo. Therefore, Fan Although the official "political status" of the family is not high, in the secular world, it is already a very famous and noble family.
Living in the Fan Mansion, Liu Ruqing usually only interacted with the girls in the manor. How could she have the chance to see the real Qiu Ba, let alone Uncle Zheng, who actually walked out of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood? He was awarded the title of General for his military achievements.
"What does Miss Liu want from me?"
"It's... Ruqing, on the orders of my grandmother, came to ask for my uncle's diagnosis and treatment."
"Oh, okay, let me diagnose your pulse first."
"No, no, no, uncle, Ruqing is here to ask your uncle to diagnose and treat your old grandmother."
"Huh? ”
Think about it,
Fan Zhengwen has arranged an identity for himself in the mansion. He is a doctor, or a famous doctor.
Moreover, Zheng Fan still doesn't know who called Liu Ruqing this way. It seems that if he is the same generation as Fan Zhengwen, Liu Ruqing can call him uncle, and if he is a generation higher than Fan Zhengwen, he can also call him uncle. uncle.
But, no matter what, it sounds good to hear Liu Ruqing call him uncle anyway.
If possible, let Liu Ruqing stand beside her bed and call her uncle dozens of times before going to bed every night. The feeling will definitely penetrate into her bones.
But who is the old grandmother of the Fan family?
Is she Fan Zhengwen’s mother? It seems to be the grandma generation.
Take care of what you have come. After one day of moving in, Zheng Fan is quite satisfied with Fan Zhengwen's arrangement. There is no greasy meal stacked in front of you to share the wine with you. Instead, there are small dishes, large dishes, cold dishes and hot dishes displayed there. Take whatever you like.
"Then please ask Miss Liu to lead the way."
"Uncle, please follow me."
"Okay."
Zheng Fan followed Liu Ruqing walked out of the house and saw Zheng Fan coming out. All the beauties in the pavilion outside stood up and saluted Zheng Fan.
Zheng Fan waved his hands to them. After all, he had never had any specific interactions with them. Previously, he had only watched them through the window as they prepared food.
Fan Mansion is very big, but if you are not a servant but a guest, you will not feel tired because of its size. There are scenery everywhere here, even in winter, you can still enjoy the scenery. It’s dizzying.
The yard where the old grandmother of Fan Mansion lives is about the same size as Qingfangzhai, but it is winter now, and as soon as you walk into her yard, you can feel the heat wave immediately.
At the same time, the yard is full of flowers. Where is the midwinter scene?
An old woman was sitting on the steps. Looking around, there was no servant in sight;
The old woman held a small shovel in her left hand and soil in her right hand. Apparently, she was picking up flowers and plants just now.
Don’t think it’s hard for her,
Because in this season, there are countless old people huddled in the corner shivering in ragged cotton wool that is not very warm. Even they themselves don’t know whether they can Survive this winter;
At this time, it is an extremely rare luxury to be able to wear only a coat and go to the ground to pick up flowers and do small jobs.
"Grandma, grandson's wife brought uncle here."
Granddaughter-in-law?
It seems that she is really a grandma.
The woman in front of me is Fan Zhengwen's grandmother, because Liu Ruqing is the wife of Fan Zhengwen's younger brother.
"Okay, my wife, Xiaosi's family, go down and tell the kitchen to prepare some mung bean soup, but it's too hot for me."
"Yes, grandma."< br>
Liu Ruqing went down, leaving behind waves of fragrant wind as she passed by Zheng Fan.
Not greasy, and satisfies cravings.
The old woman looked at Zheng Fan and cursed angrily:
“You are still an uncle, have you never seen a woman?”
Zheng Fan smiled, Without any embarrassment, he entered his own state in an instant and said:
"No, I have never seen such a beauty."
"Old lady, I don't like the word beauty. It always sounds like treating women as playthings."
>"Yes." Zheng Fan nodded.
"Sit down, uncle, there are melons there, pick them and eat them yourself."
"Okay."
Zheng Fan sat down and reached out to pick a cantaloupe. There was no need to wash it, as the skin was not eaten anyway. He could just peel it open and eat the fruit inside directly.
The juice is sweet, fragrant and delicious.
The old woman put the small shovel in her hand against the steps, looked at Zheng Fan, and said:
"Old lady, how do you feel about my little courtyard?"
"The atmosphere, "Be particular about it." Zheng Fan wiped his mouth and replied, "The last time I entered a place like this was in the palace of Emperor Qian."
Qianhuang also has a greenhouse, which is extremely warm in winter.
Of course, if you want to create this "paradise" in winter, the cost must be huge.
No one is surprised that Emperor Qian can afford it, and that Fan Mansion can also enjoy it. It is inevitable that people will think of the four words "wealth can rival the country".
The old woman smiled "haha" and said: "After living for so many years, I have grown up now, and I can be put together with the official of Qianguo."
Zheng Fan had told A Ming before that he guessed that someone in the house wanted to see him, and the attitude was visible or invisible. He thought it was the old grandmother of the Fan family.
The old woman pointed around and said:
"Look, it's a hot energy, but the real effort below is actually all money. In this world, the only thing that can really make people feel warm is Money."< br>
"What the old lady said makes sense."
"Oh? Uncle, you see it this way too?"
"The most painful thing is when money is grinding against your hands. Ah.”
"That's not true, haha, by the way, how did my uncle feel when the child Ruqing called me uncle?"
We have been foxes for thousands of years, so there is no need to argue with "Liao Zhai".
Uncle Zheng could tell that the old woman was unusual, so he was very free and easy when dealing with her.
“It’s really numb to my bones.”
“Hehehehe.” The old woman laughed, reached out and grabbed a handful of mud, and threw it at Zheng Fan. Of course, it was just for show. He laughed and scolded: "We are all uncles, how can we be so shameless towards our niece?"
"Don't say that my uncle is just an inexplicable person. Even if he is a real uncle, what does it matter? It is said that in a wealthy family, there are as many scandals as there is gold and silver."
"It seems that Uncle Zheng only knows one thing but not the other. "
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."
"It seems that the Fan family is like this. They are extravagant, but they are fried in a fierce fire. As the slaves of the Qu family, it stands to reason that the Fan family should give a large portion of the harvest to the Qu family. Even if they can keep it from their books, they really can't. That's a lot.
Today's great wealth is due to the Qu family using the Fan family as a starting point to attract people's attention.
If it weren't for the fact that the Fan family still had some private business, the Fan family at this time would be nothing more than a pink-faced skeleton. ”
What the old woman means is that it is the Qu family that makes the Fan family look so wealthy. This is a card;
The emperor wants to win people’s hearts and needs to give generous treatment to his ministers and generals who are loyal to him. , the same goes for big nobles like Qu.
But for the sake of pliers. The Zhifan Mansion became powerful, and eventually the situation arose where the slaves bullied the masters, so the Fan family was forced to be rich and wealthy. In addition to the fixed amount of money turned over to the Qu family every year, the remaining money of the Fan family had to be squandered
<. br>It makes you look prosperous, but in fact you are just a puffy empty frame
This should be the check and balance policy that Qu had set up a long time ago, but there are policies above and countermeasures below. Now the Fan family has finally risen, and the details hidden underneath are enough to surprise Qu.
The old woman threw the small shovel in her hand into the flower garden in front of her,
said:
"In the end, if the Chu Kingdom is not broken, our Fan family will never be destroyed. In the early days, rich people stayed rich for a long time, and some, Will give birth to diseases of wealth and wealth, some, he is not sick, but more incurable than the sick;
Because he actually thinks, why should I grovel in front of you, why should I be the same for all generations? Do I have to be a slave for you?
Alas, to put it bluntly, it is all caused by overeating. "
Zheng Fan nodded after hearing these words.
" Uncle, you think so too? ”
“That’s the way people’s hearts are. "
"Yes, that's just how I feel. Zhengwen has already told me everything. Whatever my uncle wants to do, the Fan family will help him to the end.
To be honest,
It would be no pity if all the current Fan family were to pay for it. As long as the Fan family can survive one or two direct descendants, alas, there will also be side branches.
In the end, with the care and support of Uncle Uncle and His Highness the Sixth Prince, it will not be difficult to build a Fan family again. At that time, at least you can be an upright person, right? ”
“You think so clearly. "
"Transparent? Haha, that’s all I’m talking about. My parents in the text have left long ago, but I’m still alive at a very old age. It’s a lie to say that I live a clear life, because I actually don’t want to die. .
Utensils get tired after being used for a long time, and they always want to slow down the taste, but people are not like this. Generally speaking, the longer people live, the more afraid they are of death.
Uncle, don’t blame me for nagging you. Actually, I didn’t expect you to come to Fan Mansion. After all, you have a distinguished status. According to your ability, you have a thousand soldiers under your command. , if something really happens, go to Mengshan Qishan, who can beat your chest and say that they can control you?
But uncle, you are here after all. Now that you are here, old lady, I have to come to see you and talk to you. Regardless of whether these words are useful or not, we have to show some attitude. "
"Yes. "
"Uncle, can you trust the art of metaphysics? ”
Zheng Fan smiled, shook his head and said:
“I don’t really believe it.”
The old woman nodded and said: “Actually, I don’t really believe it, old lady, but it happened to be a coincidence. Old lady, I haven’t believed in fate since I was a child, yet I was said to be a mysterious practitioner. The fortune-telling was done while playing haphazardly, but it turned out to be successful in the end.
When he was young, his grandfather divined, and the divination said that this man would have a prosperous wife. "
“Is there still a prosperous wife?”
"If you have a prosperous husband, you will naturally have a prosperous wife. It's just that most men in the world regard women as foils, so they don't really take them to heart.
Back then, I thought, that's okay, get married. Give it to him, and at least he will be safe and smooth in this life.
Who can pat their chests and guarantee that the next sixty years will be smooth and smooth for the rest of their lives? Is there anything bad that can happen to Jian Jian?”
“No.”
“So, I got married. At first, his grandfather didn’t like me. I was just a little nun at the time, and although I thought I was pretty good-looking, Grandpa Renzhengwen already had a well-matched lady
As for me, I cast a curse. The first time I cast this thing, the lady died suddenly. "
The old woman recalled the happy life of her youth with a peaceful face;
"Then what happens next? "
"How can it be possible? The Fan family was also very popular at the beginning, and the Qu family's slave family seems aggrieved now. Back then, it was a first-class brilliance.
After two more deaths, his grandfather couldn’t stand it anymore;
The first one can be said to be unlucky, the second one can only be said to be unlucky, and the third one can be said to be a fool's fault.
He came to Taoist Temple to seek peace of mind. At that time, he was thinking about becoming a monk, but how could he? So he was drugged by me and slept with me. "
"Oh? "
"Two months later, I became pregnant with Zhengwen's father. "
"Yo? ”
"In another month, Zhengwen's grandfather returned home and secretly married me into the Fan Mansion. Marrying a nun and getting pregnant before marriage was ultimately disgraceful, so I didn't do it without any banging.
But who said I had a good life? I had a husband who was very happy with his wife. Not long after I got married, my mother-in-law left. That mother-in-law didn't like me very much at first, and she always wanted to set rules with me. "
“Huh?”
“Hey, I didn’t curse my mother-in-law. Am I that kind of person? She left on her own. The first child was born to Zhengwen’s father. The eldest son was pregnant, and the status was decided.
For the next few years, I lived my own life smoothly.
Until today. "
"Envy. "
"Yes, in this life, some people want to see big winds and waves, but I just like to be smooth and comfortable. ”
“Yes. "
"But guess what, my uncle came into the house yesterday, and I made another fortune-telling on a whim. ”
"What hexagram?"
"I don't understand." The old woman shook her head.
“For whom?”
“For the Fan family, of course.”
“A doctor does not heal himself.”
"But I can always have something in mind."
"That's right."
"In the hexagram, the future of the Fan family is uncertain, and there is a vague risk of overturning."
< br>Hearing this,
Zheng Fan narrowed his eyes,
He smiled and said:
“What do you mean?”
The meaning of the old woman’s words was obvious.
"Guess what I did next? I got excited again and made another fortune for myself. You know, I haven't made another fortune for myself since I married Zhengwen's grandfather. Hexagram."
"What do you say about this hexagram?"
The smile on the old woman's face gradually faded,
Finally,
turned into a desperate calmness,
word by word:
< br>"Ominous in old age."
Zheng Fan took a breath, nodded, and said:
"This is amazing."
"Actually, I don't believe in fate." The old woman said.
“You have to keep this tradition well.”
“But my hexagram has allowed me to live a smooth and stable life for more than a month.”
"Then what do you mean?"
"People just can't eat too much. If they eat too much, they will easily think about their thoughts."
"You said this before "
"The text is too full."
"This is a blessing."
"No, it's not luck. Uncle, you said you don't believe in fate."
"Yes, I don't believe it. Didn't Master Zang go to Yanjing to cut the dragon's veins back then? But what is the situation in Dayan now? It’s not like you can’t see it.”
“Because some people, he. His Majesty, Emperor Yan, is such a person. His destiny cannot be changed by others. He can even affect the life of anyone who comes into contact with him.
Uncle, uncle. In fact, you also have this fate.”
“Me?”
"Because since you came to Chu, my life and the Fan family's life have been changed."
"Do you blame me?"
"Yes."
“Be reasonable.”
“I am a woman.”
"But you are old."
"Is it possible that only young women have the right to be unreasonable?"
"That's not true."
The old woman nodded, suddenly He smiled and said, "Uncle, are you scared?"
"A little bit."
"You lied to me. My uncle has seen great battles. How could he be afraid of an old woman like me?
Everyone in the world knows that Xuan Xiu is good at playing tricks, but people also know that we Fighting is impossible.”
“This is the Fan Mansion after all.” Zheng Fan pointed at his feet.
"Uncle is right, this is Fan Mansion after all."
The old woman slowly closed her eyes,
Said:
"Old lady, I'm tired. I'd like to ask my uncle to go find Ruqing later and tell me that it was me who asked you to help regulate her blood. This girl has a miserable life, and it's me who My grandson is so lucky that he can't stand her."
Uncle Zheng rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said:
"Why are you so embarrassed?"
"Old lady, I just told you that you have a tough life and can bear it."
"Oh."
Uncle Zheng sighed and said
"Well, if I don't go to hell, who will?"
Uncle Zheng stood up and
walked out of the small courtyard with the wind rustling and Yi Shuihan's momentum.
At the entrance of the courtyard, Uncle Zheng stopped slightly, stretched, and then continued to move forward.
A few moments,
A group of dead guards armed with sharp blades and dressed in black walked out of the garden in the small courtyard. These were bred by the Fan family and were extremely loyal.
Fan Zhengwen also walked to the entrance of the small courtyard, looked around, waved his hands, and the dead soldiers retreated.
Immediately,
Fan Zhengwen walked into the small courtyard.
The old woman is still sitting on that step,
He opened his eyes slightly,
glanced at his eldest grandson,
and said:
"There is a legend in the world that when the Marquis of Jingnan committed suicide and destroyed his whole family, he personally invited the old man to Uncle went to die;
What happened,
Do you want to learn from him? "
Fan Zhengwen said: "My heart yearns for it. "
"Are you also worthy of Hotan Wujingbi? "
"My grandson is not worthy. "
" Haha, I still have some idea. Let me ask you, if I had taken action against that uncle Hirano before, what would you have done? ”
Fan Zhengwen raised his hand and said slowly:
"Help grandma answer the divination to prove that grandma has no plans left."
It will directly make you unlucky today in your old age.
"Heh...hehe...hehehe..."
Fan Zhengwen stood there, saying nothing.
The old woman took a deep breath and said slowly
"Being a dog, the whole family can live well, what's wrong with it?"
Fan Zhengwen reached out and touched his chest,
replied:
"But the grandson is already full."
