The car stopped at the Xiyuan of Zhutang. Lin Fu and Xiaoman got out of the carriage, took down the silver sword that Song Jia carried with him, and said to the beautiful woman in the car: "The Zhutang is a place for lectures. Carrying a knife is unlucky.
There is a quiet room specially set up for the female family members to listen in, separated from the lobby. Please invite the young lady, Miss She does not need to be restrained. If possible, please also ask the young lady to send a message to the She family on behalf of Lin..."
Song Jia didn't get angry because she was coerced by Lin Fu. She sat there quietly and listened to what Lin Fu had to say to the She family.
"Since ancient times, there has been a saying: Those who can eliminate harm to the people and bring them home are those who are democratic. Although the She family has different aspirations, they are cruel and unkind. They harm the world and kill people's livelihood for their own selfish desires. They want to bring the world back to their hearts. It is a whim.
.The She family is powerful, and they have an ingenious plan to abandon the land and go to the sea. At first glance, it seems to be an unstoppable trend. However, Lin Bing has no talent, is as weak as a mantis's arm, and wants to stop the carriage with crazy thoughts... The young lady conveyed these words.
Just give it to the She family."
Song Jia opened the car curtain and looked at Lin Fu's leaving figure; She Mingyue turned her little face to look out, then breathed a sigh of relief and said disdainfully: "What are he saying? He wants to swore an oath with our She family."
Stand?"
The coachman and the maid, who were unarmed, followed them in bundles. Standing beside the carriage, their faces turned pale with horror. Song Jia scolded her in a low voice: "Who dares to talk nonsense when you go back? Carefully cut out your tongue!" The coachman and the maid were busy.
He nodded, not daring to disobey the young lady's intention in the slightest. The young lady and the young lady were forced by the swineherd to ride in the same car. If the young marquis knew about the matter, he might get angry with the servants like them.
Song Jia sighed in her heart, thinking that Lin Fu's deployment on Xisha Island was really going to fight against the She family. She thought that even if she used Mingyue's marriage to recruit him, it probably wouldn't work, right? She seemed to let go of her worries, and Xian
Bai folded his hands on his knees and smiled with his sister-in-law She Mingyue: "A man who dares to speak boldly is always cuter than a submissive man..." He looked up at the curtain in front of him and saw the sign "Women's Room" written on it.
words, I thought that Hekou's power was still small, with only three to five hundred elite soldiers, which was not of a large scale. Lin Fu was also attached to Gu Wuchen, but his arrogance was faintly revealed, but few people could match it. I wonder if my father saw Lin Fu
How would you evaluate him?
*********
Sun Wenwan and Wen Pei were surprised that Lin Fu suddenly got into the carriage parked on the street and followed the carriage. Just outside the moon gate, they heard Lin Fu say what he said to Song Jia and She Mingyue in the carriage to express his position.
, was stunned for a moment, and waited until Lin Fu and Xiao Man, who was dressed in men's clothes and looked like a handsome young boy, came out of the room, then he panicked and took a half step back to bow.
When Lin Fu saw that it was Sun Wenwan and Sister Sun Wenpei standing outside the moon gate, he nodded and left without saying anything.
Sun Wenwan looked at Lin Fu's leaving figure and chewed on what Lin Fu said to the She family's sister-in-law: She was as weak as a mantis' arms, and she wanted to stop the car with her crazy thoughts, and she felt an inexplicable feeling in her heart.
Sun Wenwan thought carefully about Lin Fu's behavior in the past year when he entered Jiangning. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was always trying to block the car with his mantis arm. He fought with the vassal family, with Wang Xueshan, with the Qu family, and with the Donghai bandits.
During the fight, how often did he not bully the strong with the weak and block the car with his mantis arm? Like others, he regarded him as a powerful man who did not hesitate to gamble and take risks in order to win the favor of the Chu party, but he never thought about him.
Hidden in his heart is the great aspiration of "eliminating harm to the people and bringing them home".
Now he is desperately transporting all the resources in his hands to Xisha Island, and he also wants to block the East China Sea bandits, who are supported by the She family of the princes!
Thinking of how she persuaded her father to escape from the battlefield with the foundation of the Xihe Society in mind during the Battle of Hekou, Sun Wenwan's face became a little hot. She thought that if Lin Fu was selfish in everything and ignored the overall situation, he would not provide disaster relief and resettlement for the refugees on Xisha Island.
The Huihui will fight bloody battles in Jiyang to repel the East China Sea invaders. When Jiangdong is in chaos, how can the Xihehui still survive alone?
Sun Wenwan felt ashamed and regretful at the same time, like a little girl who had done something wrong, looking at Lin Fu's leaving back, unable to do anything.
"Hey, Mr. Lin, don't you suspect that we came here deliberately to eavesdrop?" Sun Wenpei saw Wan Niang thoughtful and thought she was worried about this, "He is really serious, there are still women in the carriage, why did he get in?"
Doesn’t it seem that someone else’s carriage was done by someone other than a gentle gentleman?”
"Perhaps he has never bothered to be a gentleman..." Sun Wenwan came back to her senses and said quietly.
Although there is a special women's room in the Zhutang, Sun Wenwan and Wen Pei both dressed up as men. They didn't want to sit in the women's room separated from the lobby and listen to the lecture, so they walked around the lotus pond with broken flowers and leaves to the lobby.
***********
Lin Fu didn't go to the lecture hall. He still had some time, so he took Xiaoman to East Fujian first.
He set up the East Garden of Zhutang as a special place for collecting and sorting out materials, books and compiling the "Jiang Dian" and "Jiang Zuo Jing An Commentary". Ge Siyu, the director of the Jiangning Ministry of Industry and the deputy superintendent of the Longjiang Shipyard, specifically did not go to the official office today.
When he was on duty, he saw Lin Fu walking in, so he grabbed him and said, "Many scholars have come to the Xixi Academy, and Chen Mingzhe, who was ordered to return to his hometown to get married, is also among them. I'm afraid they are here to cause trouble..."
"If they dare to mess around, I'll kick them out. If it's about rolling up their sleeves and fighting, I'm still afraid of them?" Lin Fu rolled up his sleeves and said with a smile, "If it's about learning, what's there to worry about Shu Han?
of?"
Changsun Geng, Zhao Qinmin, Gu Siyuan, Zhang Yubo, Liu Xilin and others all gathered here and burst into laughter.
Zhao Shuhan was not too worried, and just smiled and said: "There are specialties in the art, and the sage also said, 'Three people walking together must have my teacher.' Who dares to boast that the knowledge in Haikou is all-encompassing? Besides, there is little chance that they will target me.
There is a high possibility that if you have a headache, it should be you."
Lin Fu smiled and said: "Then there is nothing to worry about. I don't like to argue with others and I don't use my words. Even if the Xixi Academy comes out in force, what can they do to me?"
At this time, a young man in green clothes came in and talked to Zhao Qinmin. Lin Fu saw that Zhao Qinmin's face turned ugly and asked, "What's the matter?"
Zhao Qinmin said awkwardly: "Ma Weihan and Gao Zongting also came together..."
Ma Weihan was the assistant to Wang Xueshan, Yin of Jiangning Prefecture. Zhao Qinmin once served as the same master with him. It would be awkward to meet him here. After Gu Wuchen became the inspector and consolidated his position in Jiangdong, the threat to Zhao Qinmin's life was eliminated. Wang Xueshan was no longer stupid.
It was impossible to do anything to anger Gu Wuchen at this time.
Both Ma Weihan and Gao Zongting were born in Juzi, but like Lin Fu, no one would treat them as insignificant pawns. Many times and on many occasions, Ma Weihan and Gao Zongting represented Wang Xueshan and Li Zhuo behind them.
.Perhaps Chen Mingzhe came on behalf of Yu Xinyuan or Chen Xiyan, but Chen Mingzhe himself is a world-famous number one scholar, and is clearly the leader of the younger generation of Xixi Society.
Lin Fu said: "Master Zhao is giving the lecture today, so let's not overwhelm him. Si Yuan can go out with Master Zhao..." No matter how close he was to Gao Zongting, he couldn't get too close to him on such an occasion, lest he pass the news.
Signal errors to others.
Gu Siyuan bowed to Lin Fu, Zhao Qinmin, Zhang Yubo and others, and walked out with Zhao Shuhan.
Lin Fu glanced at Gu Siyuan's leaving figure, then pulled Ge Siyu aside to ask about the shipbuilding affairs.
No matter how cold their attitude is, Ma Weihan and Gao Zongting will send someone to socialize when they come over. Zhao Shuhan is the one who is giving lectures today, so of course he has to come forward. Lin Fu asked Gu Siyuan to go with him to socialize, which is also a gesture to acknowledge that Gu Siyuan is in the Gu family.
The young master's status allowed him to represent Hekou. After returning from Jiyang, Gu Siyuan became much more pragmatic, and his whole attitude became much calmer. He rarely had condescending or aggressive words and deeds; in other days, he would not be very
Perhaps even though he was present at today's occasion, he may still have a disapproving attitude towards the craftsmanship in his heart.
Lin Fu also knew that the estrangement between each other was difficult to eliminate, especially since he had his unwavering goal. At this time, the paths were aligned and we conspired, but what if the paths would not coincide with each other in the future? As for Gu Wuchen's goal at this time, he still thought about Wei Ji.
Due to his position as a minister, he was unable to escape from the trap of party struggle, and he had no courage to appoint young officials from other factions.
When Zhao Qinmin saw Lin Fu's arrangement, he just smiled and said nothing.
At this time, Gu Wuchen focused mainly on Dongyang Xiangyong, but Lin Fu was not allowed to interfere in Dongyang Xiangyong's affairs, so it was inconvenient to prevent him from transferring a large amount of resources to Xisha Island. In any case, those refugees took root in Xisha Island
After settling down, the strength of the Xisha Island rural camp has been strengthened, which is always beneficial to the situation on the eastern front. After all, the local training of rural troops is promoted by Gu Wuchen, so Gu Wuchen does not urge Lin Fu to transfer his manpower back from Xisha Island.
Even though Zhao Qinmin had been in Hekou for so many days, he still couldn't see how much strength Lin Fu had hidden. Gu Wuchen thought the same was true. For his subordinates who couldn't see through the details and showed such sharpness in the battles of Hekou and Jiyang, no one could
I dare not let go and use it.
The boy came in to report that Zhao Shuhan, Gu Siyuan accompanied Ma Weihan, Gao Zongting and others went directly to Xiyuan. Lin Fu, Zhao Qinmin and others walked through the corridor to the lecture hall.
Zhao Suangui'er led the craftsmen to build the bamboo hall. The bamboo hall, which covers an area of more than two acres, is integrated and surrounded by a long corridor. Although it is divided into east and west gardens, it is actually a single bamboo building, which is very spectacular. The place for lectures is
The Xuan Tang is sixteen steps square. Apart from the four walls and beams on the roof, there are no supporting columns for such a large room. This shows Zhao Zui Gui'er's clever use of bamboo.
More than a hundred people who came to listen to the lecture had gathered in the hall, including traders, footmen, scholars, and clerks. They were all mixed together. Lin Fu and the others were coming over. There was a noise at the door, and some shrill voices asked loudly toward another passage: "Su
Can Miss Mei show off her singing voice later?" But it was Su Mei who came over and walked through the passage to the girls' room.
Lin Fu felt as if there were eyes staring at him, so he turned around. Chen Mingzhe and other seven or eight Xixi scholars were gathered in the corner of the hall looking at him. In addition to Chen Mingzhe, there were two other people whom Lin Fu also knew.
, both of them passed the provincial examination together last year, but they went to Yanjing to participate in the general examination and failed. After returning to Jiangning, they also regarded Lin Fu as an alien and had no contact with him.
Even though their eyes were unkind, Lin Fu still clasped his fists and smiled, telling them: Just come and cause trouble.
