After coming out of Zhongxinhou Mansion, Fang Yun found an inn run by his subordinate Mozi and stayed in it. He thought carefully about it all night.
This matter has been found out. Grandpa's old-fashioned character and nature were exploited by Marquis Pingding and Marquis Zhenguo to attack his eldest brother Fang Lin. Although the matter was bad, it was excusable after all.
Grandpa Liu Zhengxun is just old-fashioned and conservative, almost inhumane, and is not as hopeless as Fang Yun thought before. After all, he is still his own grandfather. My mother still sheds tears for a few days every year, precisely because she cannot
Obtaining his father's forgiveness. Fang Yun could ignore other people's feelings, but he could not ignore his mother's feelings.
And deep down, Fang Yun also hopes to repair the relationship between his grandfather, his mother and his father, and make up for his mother's shock. Neither father nor mother is suitable to come forward for this kind of thing. On the contrary, it is possible for the eldest brother and himself to repair the relationship between them.
.
However, now my grandfather is deeply prejudiced against his eldest brother and even filed a document to impeach him. The only one who can do this is himself.
"Human ethics, human ethics..."
Fang Yun stayed in the room, leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes, and meditated silently. This matter related to his eldest brother's title of marquis and his mother's wish, so Fang Yun had to treat it with caution. In this regard, martial arts were useless
The place of martial arts.
Fang Yun asked himself if he was not so lawless that he dared to attack his grandfather. First of all, this test was difficult to overcome psychologically and morally. Moreover, his mother would never spare him.
"I have ignored my daughter for more than 20 years, and even kicked my own child out of the house. I really don't understand how old-fashioned and conservative you are to make such a decision..."
Fang Yun murmured to himself that the lights were on in his room that night.
…………
"Tick! Tick!"
The carriage moved slowly, becoming more and more remote. This place no longer belongs to the imperial city.
Fang Yun sat on the carriage and looked out the window through the curtains. He was recalling the information about his grandfather in his mind one after another. His mother, Mrs. Huayang, also came from a scholarly family. Although she was not necessarily rich, it was also a big family with a long history of education.
.
The Liu family's family home can also be called grand. It would never be located in such a remote place. In fact, this is another residence of grandpa Liu Zhengxun.
After his mother betrayed his opinion and got together with his father Fang Yin, and his uncle abandoned literature and went into business, his grandfather became furious and kicked him out of the house. After that, he abandoned the Liu family's family home. He thought there were two houses there.
The place where the evil son and evil daughter were born did not want to be associated with them, so they moved outside the city and built a thatched cottage. From then on, they lived alone and lived in isolation. They almost lived a life isolated from the world.
Several clusters of plum trees stand beside the road, and in front of it is a row of tattered fences. In a patch of wormwood, stands a lonely thatched hut.
"parking!"
Fang Yun lifted up his robe and walked out of the carriage. He looked forward quietly. The thatched house in front was where his grandfather Liu Zhengxun lived in seclusion. Fang Yun glanced at the top of the dilapidated thatched roof and saw that the thatch was in a mess.
It has not been repaired for a long time. The stone steps are covered with moss, obviously no one has cleaned them for a long time.
Fang Yun thought of the information he had collected. When his grandfather left the mansion, he brought some servants with him. But because they said a few good things about his mother and uncle, his unkind grandfather drove them all away.
Go. I live here alone and have no one to serve me.
After all, the Liu family is also a scholarly family, and Liu Zhengxun is the former Yuanshi. Now he lives here alone, with no visits and no one to clean the yard. An old man living here alone makes people feel lonely and desolate.
"It's your own fault!"
Fang Yun sighed, but he couldn't be happy in his heart. The connection of blood cannot be severed. No matter how rigid Liu Zhengxun is, he is still his grandfather. The Fang family is a prince, and it is extremely noble for a while; his uncle Sun Zhongrong is even richer, but his grandfather lives in
How could anyone be happy in such a dilapidated thatched hut? Even if all this was caused by himself!
"Who is outside the door?"
At this moment, an old voice came from inside the mao. The tone was as cold as a hard stone.
Fang Yun pondered for a moment, lifted up his robe, and knelt down respectfully outside the hut: "My grandson Fang Yun pays homage to grandpa!"
Grandpa Liu Zhengxun could ignore his mother and uncle, and even scold and scold him. But Fang Yun, as a grandson, did not lose his etiquette.
Suddenly there was a cold snort in the room: "Huh! I, Liu Zhengxun, have no children. Whose grandson are you from? You are paying homage to your grandpa indiscriminately!"
Fang Yun's expression suddenly changed. These words were too much, but he still held back: "Below Yun, his father Fang Yin, Marquis of Sifang, and his mother Liu Shi, Tian is the daughter of the former Yuanshi Liu Zhengxun..."
"Shut up, I don't have such an unfilial daughter!"
An angry scolding came from inside the house.
A flash of anger flashed across Fang Yun's eyes, but he still managed to restrain it. His mother was his daughter, and he could scold her, but as a junior, he could not be rude to his elders.
Fang Yun didn't speak, and there was silence in the hut. It seemed that the old man in the house was also looking at Fang Yun.
"Hmph! They're all in the same boat! He's obviously angry in his heart, but he doesn't show it. He's also a treacherous person. - You're here for your elder brother Fang Lin, right? Humph, although I hate treacherous people like you the most.
, but 'filial piety' is a Confucian meaning, but I cannot ignore the Confucian meaning. Since you want to plead for your eldest brother, just come up with this."
"Snapped!"
A roll of white rice paper flew out and landed not far in front of Fang Yun.
Fang Yun glanced at it, and suddenly his eyes shrank. The lines on the outside of this roll of rice paper were clearly the paper supplied by the imperial court to the princes' families. Although my grandfather was a Yuan scholar in the previous dynasty, Confucianism and military strategists were different. The paper they used was different from this.
The species are different.
He said he was going to test his own pairs, and immediately threw out a roll of written pairs. It was clearly prepared for him. How could he know that he was coming and prepare such a thing.
Fang Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, and a series of thoughtful glances flashed in his eyes. Then a look of anger flashed across his eyes: "Marquis of Zhenguo, Marquis of Pingding..."
The rice paper obviously came from the home of Zhenguohou and Pingdinghou. My grandfather, a rigid and conservative Confucian scholar, could not have expected that he would come. There must have been guidance from an expert. Fang Yun subconsciously thought of Zhenguohou and Pingdinghou.
But I had a vague feeling that something was wrong. These two princes should not be so careful.
Fang Yun stood up, took a step forward, grabbed the rice paper, opened it, and saw a line of text.
"The father is reckless, the son is reckless, the father and son are reckless!"
“What an extravagance!”
Seeing this line of words, Fang Yun's expression suddenly changed. When his grandfather Liu Zhengxun strongly opposed his father and mother being together, the reason was that he was a reckless man.
The father is a reckless man, and the son is a manghui. They are clearly satirizing themselves and their father. They are both reckless men who lead troops outside and only know how to fight and fight, but do not know etiquette and education.
"The father is a reckless man, the son is a reckless man, the father and the son are a reckless man", this kind of couplet is quite simple, and in a certain sense, it cannot even be called a couplet. Grandpa Liu Zhengxun obviously did not really want to test any pair, but wanted to use it to humiliate
I am a father and son.
This kind of pairing seems easy. It is easy for two completely unrelated people to fight against each other, even to taunt each other and humiliate each other. However, the special relationship between Fang Yun and Liu Zhengxun makes this simple pairing become more complicated.
Got to be complicated.
Grandpa's daughter is Mrs. Huayang, and she is his mother. Fang Yun retorted and made a fuss about the relationship between father and daughter, which was immediately unfilial and treasonous. Grandpa's son was his uncle Sun Zhongrong. If Fang Yun took advantage of his grandfather and his wife, he would have nothing to do with it.
When the uncle made a fuss about it, my cousin Sun Shikun couldn't forgive him first. And it also seemed unkind to him.
In this kind of couple, the best match is "husband and wife", but grandma has passed away long ago. Making an issue about the late grandma is not what a grandson should do.
This blood connection between the two people immediately made Fang Yun's second line no good. When they faced each other, it seemed that he was unkind, unjust, unfaithful and unfilial. This was much more serious than the humiliation of "reckless man". When word spread,
I am afraid that the great scholars in the imperial court would not like to see me anymore.
And if you choose a pair with some other themes, it won't hurt or hurt, and it will appear that you are incompetent. Grandpa will immediately underestimate it. In any case, the blood connection between the two makes this simple pair become complicated.
There were a lot of them, which was extremely headache-inducing.
"Why can't you come out? If you don't come out, just leave! Although my hut, Liu Zhengxun, is dilapidated, it cannot be entered by people who do not understand poetry and calligraphy and do not know etiquette!"
The voice in the hut said coldly.
A look of anger suddenly flashed across Fang Yun's pupils. How could he give up so easily?
"Are you going to let me write the second couplet of this couplet on the back with pen and ink? Or are you going to let me recite it orally?"
"The pen and ink can only be used by those who know the book and are polite, and understand poetry and articles. If you are a man, you should recite it orally."
The implication is that Fang Yun is a reckless man and is not qualified to use pen and ink.
Fang Yun didn't argue with him and cupped his hands: "In that case, I will just recite it orally."
"I'm listening." The person in the room said coldly.
Fang Yun pondered for a moment and then said: "You're all right - Master Furu, apprentice Furu, master and apprentice Furu!"
Grandpa Liu Zhengxun was in trouble in many places. Fang Yun was polite first and then fought. He realized that he had done enough etiquette and no longer held back. As soon as he opened his mouth, he immediately showed his quarrelsome nature. Grandpa sarcastically criticized his father and son for not knowing poetry and being a martial artist and a reckless man. Fang Yun
He was accused of being a corrupt scholar, and even the teacher who taught him poetry and essays was scolded.
As the saying goes, every teacher must have a disciple. My grandfather was so rigid and unreasonable. His unknown master was obviously related to him.
"presumptuous!--"
In the hut, Liu Zhengxun was furious. Confucianism attaches great importance to the relationship between teachers and students. Although Liu Zhengxun is old-fashioned, but because of this, he becomes even more intolerant of others and accuses his own teacher. Fang Yun directly accused him of being a corrupt Confucian, and even the teacher
He was scolded, how could he not be angry?
"Why, this pair doesn't match neatly?"
Fang Yun sneered.
There was silence in the hut. After a moment, he snorted heavily: "Come up!"
