Lin Fu and others were dining in a small private room in the small pavilion of Xiaofan Tower. When they were getting very hot from drinking, Yuan Jinqiu, the prince of the Marquis of Yongchang, came uninvited.
Yuan Jinqiu walked straight in and bowed to everyone at the banquet: "I heard that all of you are drinking here, so I came over to ask for a glass of wine. Don't you think Jinqiu is intrusive?"
Everyone stood up to return the favor to Yuan Jinqiu. This was the first time Lin Fu met Yuan Jinqiu. He was similar in appearance to his younger brother Yuan Jinqiu, but he was four or five years older, about twenty-four or five years old, and had a swollen lip on his lips.
He has a neatly trimmed short beard and clear, lively eyes. Looking at his appearance, it is hard to imagine that the world would have such an unfriendly opinion of him, while his younger brother Yuan Jinsheng is like a moral role model.
Lin Fu had never had a good impression of the moral model Yuan Jinsheng. Seeing Yuan Jinqiu barging in casually and asking for a drink, he bowed and said with a smile: "The prince is joking. If you know that a glass of fine wine can easily invite the prince here, Lin Fu
Fu has already come to invite me..."
Su Mei stood up, asked the waiter to take away the cups, and brought up a pair of bowls and chopsticks. Between her and Chen Qingqing, Chen Qingqing was a guest, and she was considered a half-landlord in Xiaofan House. Thinking from another level, today is
Lin Fu was hosting a banquet here, so it was time for her to give up her seat to Yuan Jinqiu, who came uninvited. She and Xiaoman stood aside holding the wine flask, and served the guests wine in person.
"Fine wine alone is naturally not enough," Yuan Jinqiu said with a smile, "There are also Master Zhao's wonderful lectures and Master Lin's theory on the Black Mountain Dog... In view of the tragic memories I brought to Xixi Academy, I dare not go in person today
I went to the school to stir up trouble, but I had Master Zhao’s lectures and Master Lin’s witty words copied into a book. I just read it and it was so wonderful that I couldn’t help but come over and disturb me..." Yuan Jinqiu took out a book from his sleeve.
I folded the draft, shook it, and showed it to everyone present.
Fan Ding walked in at this time, Lin Fu frowned at him inadvertently, thinking that the people inside the Yongchang Hou Mansion had no good impressions of this dissolute prince who stayed in brothels all day and never returned to the Hou Mansion, so he ignored him.
Fan Ding only smiled and said to Yuan Jinqiu: "I didn't know that the prince was interested in such trivial academics as miscellany and craftsmanship..."
"Nowadays, there are so many bandits. Jinqiu has always been confused. Is it because the education is weak or the warehouses are unreliable?" Yuan Jinqiu asked, "Although the miscellaneous craftsmanship is regarded as a low-level skill by the world, it is not a journey.
"
"The prince has this question, which greatly confuses Mingzhe." Chen Mingzhe appeared at the door and directly passed Yuan Jinqiu's words. "If the refugees know how to educate, stick to their homeland and cultivate the land, and know the moral order of their parents, how can they be like thieves?"
Overgrown grass?”
Chen Mingzhe was still the number one scholar favored by the current emperor. He was regarded as a disciple of the emperor and a casual official of Xuande Lang, the seventh rank. He suddenly took the words. As the prince of Yuan Jinqiu Yongchang Hou, he could not be called rude. He looked at Ma Weihan
, Gao Zongting stood up and bowed to greet each other. Lin Fu didn't want to, and he would not be too rude. He stood up, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "The number one scholar also wants to come over and have a glass of wine?"
"Master Lin, what do you think of what I said?" Chen Mingzhe looked at Lin Fu aggressively and said, "But with Master Lin's reputation in Jiangning, most likely he will not agree with what I say."
"Xuan Delang is the number one scholar in this subject. The emperor has recognized that you are the best in articles in the world. Whatever you say is what it is. How can others refute it?" Lin Fu chuckled lightly and ignored Chen Mingzhe and sat down.
Chen Mingzhe saw that Lin Fu was too lazy to talk to him, which made him unbearable, as he regarded himself as aloof. His face was gloomy, and he glanced at Su Mei, who was standing next to Lin Fu holding a pot, without saying a word. The person behind him was silent.
Unable to hold himself back, the toothy young man was frustrated in the bamboo hall and had no courage to rush forward again. A dark-faced scholar squeezed in from the door and said to Lin Fu: "When a guest comes to the door, Xuanyi Lang sits down alone.
It’s so rude…”
"You might as well use your sharp tongue to keep me polite. Let's see whether your tongue is rotten or my butt is raised." Lin Fu sneered. He was very capable of ridicule and spoke viciously.
Without looking at the people in Xixi at the door, he turned to Yuan Jinqiu and said with a smile, "I was still thinking about why the prince was kicked out of the Xixi Academy, and now I know a little bit about it. The sages have a saying: people who are practical in the warehouse know etiquette.
Only when you have enough food and clothing can you know honor and disgrace. We must first have the premise of "sufficient barns and sufficient food and clothing" before we can talk about education and make people know etiquette, honor and disgrace. Although this principle is very simple, how can someone who doesn't know how to farm or know the grains know it? Zhongzhou
During the great famine, the hungry people changed their sons to eat. Can it be explained by just one sentence: "People's hearts are not ancient, and the world is in ruins."
How helpful is it to the worldly affairs?"
Lin Fu's words were extremely rude, and Chen Mingzhe and others looked extremely ugly. If Lin Fu hadn't been wearing a saber on his waist, and the battles at Hekou and Jiyang had spread his reputation for bravery, otherwise they would have rolled up their sleeves long ago.
He rushed in and started a fight with Lin Fu.
Yuan Jinqiu shouted happily, feeling that Chen Mingzhe and others were an eyesore standing here, so he ordered Fan Ding: "These people came uninvited, they are an eyesore, and they will be kicked out." He wanted to retaliate against the slaves in the first place.
The hatred unleashed by Xixi Academy.
Fan Ding narrowed his eyes and said, "Harmony is the most precious thing, and academic disputes are at their peak. Don't let everyone get angry because of this."
Yuan Jinqiu saw that the envoy could not move the vassal tripod, and he was used to it. He took the wine pot from Su Mei, poured wine for Lin Fu and said: "This is the most pleasant thing Jinqiu has ever heard in his life. Please sit down and please
Let me offer you three glasses of wine just for these happy words."
Lin Fu also happily pushed the wine glass forward and asked Yuan Jinqiu to pour the wine. He thought that Hou Yuan of Yongchang returned to power in his prime, and the bad relationship between Yuan Jinqiu and his father also made the entire Hou family not take this prince seriously. But Yuan
The reason why Jinqiu and Yuan Guizheng had a bad relationship is not known to outsiders.
Although Yuan Jinqiu was dissolute and even competed with his elder Mu Guogong for the favor of the famous prostitute Chen Qingqing, which made him the laughing stock in Jiangning City, he was not a dandy. Speaking of which, although he respected the title of the prince of Yongchang Hou, his words and deeds were even worse.
Civilian freedom and debauchery may be the will to resist that he can show.
Chen Mingzhe and others were so angry that they couldn't stop scolding and beating them, so they threw up their sleeves and walked away. Ma Weihan, Gao Zongting and others still stood there very politely to see Chen Mingzhe and others off. Of course,
He would not have a bad relationship with Chen Mingzhe and others just because Lin Fu invited them to this meal.
Speaking of which, Ma Weihan, Gao Zongting and others felt that Lin Fu's words were very pleasant and very in line with their thoughts.
Ma Weihan and Gao Zongting were both scholars, but they were not successful in the scientific examination, so they took the path of Mu Bin. Although they also recommended Wang Xueshan and Li Zhuo for honors, and they also had six or seven ranks, but compared with Menyin and the scientific examination
, "recommendation" is not the right path, and is somewhat looked down upon by those who come from a scientific background or a family background.
Because of this status, Ma Weihan and Gao Zongting naturally rejected the empty talk and Confucianism advocated by the Xixi Society. Besides, their knowledge of Confucianism was also a weakness. It was precisely their pragmatic spirit that made them outstanding.
It was their ability and talent that made them respected by Wang Xueshan and Li Zhuo. Lin Fu's words made them feel sympathetic, but at this time they were each their own masters, so naturally they would not show any sympathy for each other.
Zhao Shuhan, Zhang Yubo, Ge Siyu and other officials who had close contacts with Lin Fu certainly knew that what Lin Fu said was his purpose of establishing miscellaneous craftsmanship in Hekou. He did not read poetry or chant wind in Hekou.
Yue is arty, but she is very devoted to farm work such as raising pigs and vegetable gardens, crafts such as house building and blacksmithing, and women's work such as yarn spinning, embroidery, and weaving. It can be said that she has a big heart that regards "a solid warehouse and sufficient food and clothing" as the fundamental.
Chen Qingqing glanced at Su Mei inadvertently and smiled softly in her heart when she saw that her thoughts were focused on Lin Fu and she had not even glanced at the departing Chen Mingzhe.
Yuan Jinqiu took his seat, and the wine was about to be poured again. At this time, Ao Canghai walked in and handed Lin Fu an official letter. Lin Fu glanced at it, and his face suddenly turned ugly. He handed the official letter to Zhang Yubo beside him, and Zhang Yubo read the official letter.
His expression changed drastically, and he handed the official letter to Zhao Qinmin, Gao Zongting, and Ma Weihan in order for circulation.
Chen Qingqing saw that their expressions changed drastically, and couldn't help but ask on behalf of Yuan Jinqiu: "What happened to make you all panic?"
Although Yuan Jinqiu was the noble son of Yongchang Hou, he was not allowed to hear about state affairs.
"Tens of thousands of Dongbu broke through the Xuanhua border wall, crossed the mountain pass, and marched towards Yanjing. Yanjing is in danger!" Lin Fu said.
Everyone here changed their expressions. After the defeat of Chentangyi, the imperial court finally redeployed more than 200,000 troops in Jibei, Xuanhua and Datong towns at the northern foot of Yanshan Mountain. They thought the defense line was strong, but how could they have expected it to be so easy?
Let the Donghu cavalry penetrate Yanjing?
"In order to prevent the discussion in Jiangning from being disturbed, this matter must not be known to outsiders for the time being." Lin Fu said, and then spoke to Gao Zongting and Ma Weihan, "All of you should gather at the garrison general's mansion. Let's go directly to wait for the news..."
It is hard for everyone to get rid of old grudges against each other, but the urgent matter in Yanjing is urgent. Jiangning, Jiangdong County and even the Jiangning Ministry have to work together in the same boat. The ship is about to capsize, and those on the ship are fighting and fighting.
What's the meaning?
Zhao Shuhan, Ge Siyu, Yuan Jinqiu and others were unable to participate in actual military and political affairs and could only wait for news at the mouth of the river. After Lin Fu, Zhao Qinmin, Gao Zongting, Ma Weihan and others left, it was boring for them to drink in the small private room.
After a while, we went to the Bamboo Hall together.
Chen Mingzhe and others were sitting in the private room of the small pavilion. They saw Lin Fu and others leaving in a hurry first, and then met Yuan Jinqiu. Zhao Shuhan and others had no intention of staying to drink anymore. They didn't know what happened. When they saw Su Mei
She and Chen Qingqing followed the others and left the wing. Someone came to the private room and greeted: "Miss Su, please come and have a glass of wine..."
"I'm feeling unwell today, so I can't drink. I'll apologize to you some other time." Su Mei bowed and left the small vassal building without any delay.
