Lin Fu and Zhou Pu harnessed their horses and followed Yang Shi to Gu Mansion.
Compared with the past few days, there were a few more guards in military uniforms with swords in the gatehouse in the front yard of the Gu family. Yang Shi called the leader of the school and said to him: "This is Lin Juren..." To introduce, no
If he said anything, he led Lin Fu to the house, while Zhou Pu was waiting in the front yard with his horse.
Yang Shi caught a woman on the way and asked if Gu Wuchen was in Jinyuan, so he took Lin Fu towards the back house. Only then did Lin Fu find out that Jinyuan was the small garden in the back house of the Gu family. Gu Wuchen gave him an elegant
Lin Fu entered Jinyuan from the Moon Gate and saw several wintersweet trees standing in front of him. He heard someone calling from behind: "Dad, I'll give you back the book you want to read..."
Lin Fu stood up strangely and looked back, only to see Gu Junxun holding up a corner of her skirt, revealing the embroidered shoes and flowered jacket trousers under her skirt, running over happily, holding a few books in the crook of his other arm.
When Gu Junxun saw Lin Fu turn around, he realized that he had called the wrong person. His face turned red with embarrassment and he had no shame to say hello to Lin Fu. He lowered his head to get ahead of Lin Fu and went to the garden. He tripped on the doorstep and almost fell down.
, the book was thrown all over the floor, she managed to hold on to the tree branch and stood still. She was even more embarrassed and embarrassed and did not dare to look at Lin Bing. Her face was so red that it was bleeding, and her ears were flushed. She looked at the book and it was on Lin Bing's side.
At her feet, seeing Lin Fu bending down to pick up the books, she didn't have the nerve to go over and pick them up. She only summoned up the courage to whisper: "These books are what my father wants to read..." She turned around and ran out of the garden.
Lin Fu burst out laughing. He had never met such a shy girl in a thousand years. He picked up a few books and found "Comments on the Seven Classics of Martial Arts". This did not refer to a book about fists and kicks, but
This is a collection of previous works on the art of war, compiled and annotated by Su Jinshu, the famous founding general of this dynasty. It can be said to be a collection of contemporary military works. This set of books is prohibited from being printed and sold by private bookstores. Lin Fu wanted to buy a set at a high price but was unable to do so.
It’s not surprising that the Gu family has such a book. Gu Wuchen has been in exile in the army for ten years. It’s normal for him to be interested in military art. He didn’t expect that Gu Junxun would borrow this set of books from his father to read. Could it be that he is so shy?
Do girls still dream of becoming a female general?
Yang Shi took the book from Lin Fu and said, "Miss, she really yells without looking at people..." Compared to the past, his words were much more polite to Lin Fu.
Lin Fu smiled, and after reading several thick volumes of "Commentaries on the Seven Classics of Martial Arts", he felt moved in his heart, and followed Yang Shi into the garden.
There is a warm pavilion in the corner of Jinyuan, and Gu Wuchen and his son Gu Siyuan are sitting in it to have a meal. Gu Wuchen saw Lin Fu coming over and greeted: "Come, come, come, sit down and have a bowl of porridge without breakfast..."
Lin Fu didn't feel angry, so he sat down and asked the woman waiting beside him to help him fill a bowl of corn porridge and eat it.
"Si Yuan said that you invited Zhang Yubo from the Jiangning Army and Horse Division to have a drink at the feudal palace last night?" Gu Wuchen asked.
"Well," Lin Fu guessed that Gu Wuchen called him here early in the morning for this reason. He thought that if Gu Siyuan didn't tell him, Gu Wuchen would also hear about it from other people. He said, "Uncle Zhang Yu is serving as the Military and Horse Division of Jiangning Prefecture.
Before Zuo Sikou joined the army, he served as a governor in the Inspectorate for three years. Lin Fu was afraid that he would follow the master to the Inspectorate because he didn't know the rules, so he asked Zhang Yubo to come out to meet him. In addition, Lin Fu had a deep impression on Zhang Yubo from the Dongyang Township Party.
Jiyunshe wants to establish a foothold in Jiangning, and hopes to rely more on Zhang Yubo... We met yesterday very happily. After leaving the feudal lord, we also found a deep alley hotel with Zhang Yubo. I heard that the mutton gizzard meat in that hotel is excellent.
, I didn’t eat it yesterday, but the smoldering mutton is good. Whenever you have some free time, Lin Fu will invite you to drink wine and eat mutton." There is no need to talk about the affairs of the feudal lord, so I will briefly talk about the matter with Zhang Yubo.
"..." Gu Wuchen was a little worried just now. Hearing what Lin Fu said, he laughed and said, "Okay, eating mutton is the most suitable thing to keep away the cold in this weather. Remember to call me when you go next time."
Gu Siyuan was sitting aside and saw Lin Fu in an understatement and did not mention that he threatened the young master of the vassal building to cause trouble last night, so he said: "I didn't expect you to be so leisurely. I came back last night and told my father, and my father also let me
Uncle Yang will take people to Donghuamen Street to look for you..."
Lin Fu put down his bowl and chopsticks and said to Gu Wuchen, "Your Excellency, you care so much. Lin Fu has nothing to do in return." He stood up and bowed in salute.
"Sit down, I'm worrying too much..." Gu Wuchen said, letting Lin Fu sit down and continue drinking porridge, and then ignored the matter.
Gu Siyuan felt depressed, thinking that his father called Lin Fu here early in the morning, didn't he want to warn Lin Fu not to be too arrogant and domineering in Jiangning in the future? After all, judging from the discussion he heard in the feudal mansion yesterday, Lin Fu in Jiangning has already
Labeled as a Gu family.
Gu Siyuan ate breakfast in silence. He was a Guozi student. After following Gu Wuchen to Jiangning, he transferred to Jiangning Guozi School. Only after he took the Guozi exam next year and got a top grade, could he work in the Yamen and wait for official vacancies. At this time, he still had to be an old man.
Go to the Guozi School honestly and accept the teachings.
"I'm leaving first after finishing my meal." Gu Siyuan put down his bowls and chopsticks and prepared to get up and leave.
"When you first arrived in Jiangning, I think you should focus more on Wen Shu." Gu Wuchen ordered Gu Siyuan to leave. After a while, he said to Lin Fu, "I didn't know until Yang Pu came back last night and told me.
Last night, Siyuan was led by Yuan Jinsheng to the Fan Tower to meet with the Young Master of the Fan Tower and Prince Fu Yin's young master. After all, this kid couldn't help me share my worries..."
"Your Majesty, you are too worried. Shaojun is very smart and has a sense of propriety in doing things. Lin Fu cannot match that." Lin Fu said.
"Don't say good things for him," Gu Wuchen said, "The relationship between the feudal lord and the Yongchang Marquis Mansion is unusual. You have heard about it before last night, right?"
"Well," Lin Fu nodded, "I thought that I would never be the same person as the Fan family in the future. There is really no need to swallow my anger and compromise. I didn't expect to worry you..."
Lin Fu thought that Gu Wuchen, as a new upstart of the Chu Party, came to Jiangning to serve as the deputy inspector. He would not just become an official and make a fortune. He could not always be at peace with the original forces in Jiangning. Those who sent Gu Wuchen to Jiangdong to serve as deputy inspector
Even the Chu Party officials in the position would not want to see Gu Wuchen come to Jiangning to live in harmony with Jiangning local gangsters. However, Gu Wuchen has Gu Wuchen's difficulties. First of all, the Chu Party has not yet fully gained power in the court, and the other is that Jiangning's high-ranking officials show their nobility.
Everywhere, even the governor of Jiangning was a dignified third-rank official. Gu Wuchen was only a fourth-rank official and it was difficult to control the situation.
Gu Wuchen is in a dilemma. If he wants to gain a foothold in Jiangning, he needs Jiangning's gangsters to maintain harmony on the surface. They cannot break off the relationship all at once. They must have enough time to allow him to form gangs in Jiangning and form Gu Wuchen himself.
However, he also wanted to show his fangs to let the Chu Party officials far away in the capital see that he would not compromise with the local gangsters in Jiangning.
However, Gu Siyuan, as Gu Wuchen's son, did not understand these principles.
As for the affairs between the feudal lord and the Yongchang Houfu, and what the Yongchang Houfu’s intentions are in secretly supporting the vassal family, we really cannot delve into this issue at this time.
Gu Wuchen stared at the tips of the silver-inlaid chopsticks, thinking that apart from his poor calligraphy, everything about Lin Fu was unsatisfactory. If he had a conflict with the young master of the feudal building yesterday, it was just a moment of righteous indignation and passion.
, it's really nothing, he's just a reckless young man. What's rare is that he completely understands the situation, and his scheming and bravery are no worse than others.
Gu Wuchen does not mind that young people are better and more scheming than him. If he wants to control the situation in Jiangning, he will not be able to rely on mediocrity. Gu Wuchen is quite satisfied with Lin Fu's performance during this period, and his multiple relationships also make him
He was willing to treat Lin Fu as one of his own. Gu Wuchen thought to himself: Jiangning is still the southern capital of the Dai Viet Dynasty. In addition to the normal Tang newspaper system to report the military and civilian situation, the central government must have another eye to keep an eye on Jiangning.
Everything that happened in the feudal palace has been written down and sent to the capital. He should also let his colleagues in the Chu Party who stayed in the capital and stared at Jiang Ning know more clearly: Lin Fu is his.
Even here in Jiangning, we must let those local snakes know that I, Gu Wuchen, am not an easy bone to chew. Thinking of this, Gu Wuchen turned his head to look at Lin Fu and asked, "Please think about what I told you a few days ago.
No?"
"Well, I have been thinking about how to serve you more attentively." Lin Fu was thinking about how to persuade Gu Wuchen to agree to let him go to Jiangdao Prison as a prison guard.
There is a great ambition to improve the administration of officials and improve military equipment..."
"Hmm..." Gu Wuchen snorted softly without comment and motioned for Lin Fu to continue.
"In the matter of official administration, Lin Fu has little fame, but it is difficult to squeeze into the ranks of the clean rivers. I am afraid that he will not be able to help you much. Lin Fu encountered bandits in Baisha County this autumn, which was considered a great disaster in his life. From then on, he hated the bandits on the river.
To be honest, Lin Fu also complained in his heart that the local military equipment was slack and the bandits were so arrogant. He wished he could use his gun and ride the horse to attack the bandit Shu Zhi. Lin Fu did not dare to expect to be in charge of military equipment and supervise military affairs in his life. When he first arrived in Jiangning,
Passing by the mouth of the Jinchuan River, he saw the Jiangdao Prison of the Procuratorate. Looking at the situation on Jiangdao, Lin Fu actually had some delusions: The Jiangdao Prison was just a hundred miles away, and it had always been a place where Jiangning harbored bandits and captured bandits. Lin Fu wanted to
Lead the jailer and the island guard, protect the prison well, and let the Jiangyanghu bandits never think of disturbing Jiangning from the mouth of Jinchuan River... Also let the raging 30,000 Jiangning garrison watch, what about the three to five hundred elites?
Reject bandits from outside the country!"
Yang Shi, who was standing aside, raised his brows when he heard what Lin Fu said. He felt disdainful in his heart. He and his father had followed Gu Wuchen in the army for ten years. He grew up in a military camp and had some knowledge of the military, but he didn't think Lin Fu was so...
A Confucian scholar who thinks he has read a few pages of military books knows what military service is.
Gu Wuchen was very interested and said: "Come, come, come, even if we are just talking on paper, tell us how we can hold the Jiangdao prison with only three to five hundred elites, and also prevent the Jiangdao bandits from harassing Jiangning from the mouth of Jinchuan River."
