Zhou Di was stunned for a moment, unable to follow Jiang Fan's train of thought.
Zhou He was somewhat able to adapt to Jiang Fan's way of chatting after being baptized in the Lin family.
So when he saw his father cast an inquiring look, Zhou He could only say: "He's just like this. He never refuses to talk properly. It's really a bit out of tune."
"Haha, okay, let's talk about it. In fact, at my age, I have no interest in so-called stories. But since it is Mr. Jiang who wants to tell it, it must be different, right?"
Zhou Di said with a smile.
"Hehe, I can't say it's different, but it's a bit trivial."
Jiang Fan touched the tip of his nose and continued with a smile: "A rich man wanted to get married, and there were three candidates. The rich man took them outside a room, gave each of the three girls a piece of money, and told the three girls to use
Use this money to buy things and see who can fill up the room with what he buys."
"The first girl used all the money to buy rice, but the rice could only fill one corner of the room. The second girl used the money to buy cotton, but the cotton filled half the room and disappeared.
.But the third girl bought candles, and then lit all the candles, filling the room with light. So...the prince thinks, who did the rich man choose to get married in the end?"
Zhou Di raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and suddenly felt that this story was really interesting.
After touching his chin and thinking for a while, he said: "Logically speaking, the rich man must have chosen the third girl. After all, this girl is very smart and has fulfilled the requirements of the rich man. But if it is really that simple, you also
They won’t ask me. So I think the first girl is more likely. After all, things like rice cannot be wasted no matter what."
"Where is His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Jiang Fan looked at Zhou He again and asked.
Zhou He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "My father and I have the same idea. If a rich man wants to marry a rich woman, good housekeeping should be the first priority, so the girl who bought rice is more likely to do so."
After saying that, Zhou He and Zhou Di looked at Jiang Fan at the same time, obviously waiting for Jiang Fan to give his answer.
Jiang Fan sighed and said innocently: "The rich man... chose the one with the biggest breasts."
ha?!
Zhou He:???
Zhou Di:???
The father and son stood stunned at the same time, looking at Jiang Fan stupidly, especially Jiang Fan's innocent look on his face, which made Zhou Di have the urge to vomit blood.
After his chest heaved, Zhou Di gritted his teeth and asked, "Mr. Jiang, if the rich man's attitude has nothing to do with his request, then what's the point of filling the room he mentioned?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. My attitude has nothing to do with whether you want me to be that city captain, so if you ask me if I have any complaints...what's the point?"
Jiang Fan spread his hands and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Zhou Di: "..."
Zhou He opened his mouth instantly and looked at Jiang Fan with a dumbfounded expression, his eyes full of admiration.
I just said you were incompetent...so I was actually praising you?!
How dare you tease my father in front of me?! Are you tired of living this life?!
"Master Jiang is really...unexpected..."
Zhou Di took a deep breath, shook his head, and continued: "However, Mr. Jiang expressed his dissatisfaction clearly, so Mr. Jiang... really has complaints?"
"That doesn't really count. After all, I am a fourth-grade official. How many people have been striving for a height that they can't reach in their whole life, and they just hit me on the head like this. If I don't say I have any complaints, it is really hypocritical. But after all,
No one likes to have an arranged life, so it’s really just a bit unpleasant.”
Jiang Fan said with a smile.
Zhou Di raised his eyebrows, then laughed and said: "Unpleasant? What an unpleasant feeling! I haven't met such an interesting person as Mr. Jiang for a long time! Heyang City Captain is not easy to do, so you have to be careful about what you say, but
There is no need to be too cautious, after all, I am standing behind you, and whether you like it or not, this cannot be changed. Therefore... don't embarrass me!"
Jiang Fan owes his body to him.
Zhou Di didn't say anything more, but did the same thing as Gu Yan did before - serving tea to see off the guests.
Zhou He stood up in person to see them off, and sent Jiang Fan and Tieniu out of Prince Wu's Mansion before returning.
When he found that his father had already walked outside the living room, he hurriedly greeted him.
"Let's go for a walk in the garden."
Zhou Di put his hands behind his back, said something, and walked towards the garden.
Zhou He naturally followed his father, about half a body behind, lowering his head and remaining silent.
After a while, Zhou Di suddenly said: "This Jiang Fan... I can't see through him."
"Uh...what does father mean?"
"Many, this Jiang Fan has a kind of self-confidence and cynicism that is incomprehensible. From his eyes, I can't see the awe that Ding Dian should have for me as a prince. It seems that my identity as a prince has nothing to him.
It means nothing."
Zhou Di said in a deep voice.
"Is this... normal? Most scholars will always have the temper to despise the powerful. Although Jiang Fan often behaves too philistine, he... is still a scholar after all."
Zhou He asked with some confusion.
"It's different. No matter how much other scholars despise the powerful, it's just a deliberate gesture. The purpose is just to raise their status so that they can receive more attention. Whether they are scholars or martial artists, there is not much difference.
Unless you reach the realm of a master and have the strength to dominate the world, then it is possible to truly transcend. Otherwise, if you are in the world of mortals, you will definitely be contaminated by the world of mortals. Who can truly be transcendent?"
Zhou Di shook his head and continued: "But this Jiang Fan, he really doesn't care! Despite what he said just now, I can see that he doesn't pay attention to this fourth-grade official at all. In this world
Is it true that there are people who regard fame, fortune, and wealth as dirt?"
"Even if it is true, then why doesn't Jiang Fan even care about my identity? I am the prince of Dazhou after all, but it seems that to Jiang Fan, the title of prince is not worth mentioning!"
"And today is just the first time he has seen me. He doesn't know my temperament and personality at all! Isn't he worried that I am a violent person and may kill him because of my disrespectful attitude? His
What exactly is the confidence?”
Listening to his father's rather confused inquiry, Zhou He was silent for a moment.
Because he didn't know how to answer.
Even if he was lent a hundred brains, he would not be able to guess that Jiang Fan was not from this world, and of course he was not sensitive to anything in this world.
Zhou Di exhaled and said in a deep voice: "Forget it, let's take it slow. There will definitely be a conflict between him and Gu Yan. We can always see clearly bit by bit, what is going on with Jiang Fan...
