Chapter 162 Xuening's Grandma's House
"As soon as Han Shiqi dies, there are probably not many people in the Yangzhou world who can check and balance Wang Jinhe..." The carriage has continued to move, but Li Fan murmured in the carriage.
He remembered the two boxes of gold and silver treasures that Zuo Cai Shen Peng Wuji gave him before.
It seems that he is preparing to take action and unify the world?
The reason why I gave so many jewelry was not just to buy it, but to hope that even if Li Fan did not support him, he would not object... After all, Li Fan now has too high prestige in the world. With a command, the entire world will follow, and almost all major sects owe Li Fan the favor.
"Such an ambitious person may not be a good thing to keep..." Li Fan sighed, but he didn't think much about it. Unless it was a force like the Demon Cult, or a Dayuan like Wen Baishan, who came forward, it would be difficult to unify the world! Even if the money gang is powerful, it would not be possible to complete it day and night! Time flies.
Soon, it entered the boundary of Yangzhou County.
The ancient city walls of Yangzhou City have appeared in front of them, with smoke and willows and painted bridges, and there are 100,000 families. Even if mid-autumn is approaching, it cannot cover up the prosperity and excitement of Yangzhou City.
The carriage boarded the Baqiao, entered the city, and followed the bustling street towards the Qin family.
"Selling books, selling books, Donglin County Hall's trial selection, the emperor personally gave the imperial pen, and the work of Li Fan, the most talented man in Donglin County!"
On both sides of the street, some children were hawking.
Li Fan couldn't help but lift the curtain and looked over. He saw a few children wearing shabby clothes carrying a cloth bag, which was filled with a bunch of books.
"Master, it's those little beggars who rewarded you to show them the way, and now they have become book sellers."
Xiao Liu followed the carriage and said with emotion, "Although this is not enough to make them rich, it can give them a full meal... If Xiao Liuzi had met someone like me back then, the little beggars around me might not have died so early..." Li Fan nodded slightly. Even if he had only changed a little, as long as he was making the world better, he would have been quite happy.
If you sell such a book repeatedly, the business may gradually become difficult to do. After all, the demand for the Donglin County Pavilion trial selection in Yangzhou is still limited... It is difficult for the children around you to sell a book for a long time.
Need some best-selling and frequently published works...similar to...serial novels?
An idea flashed through Li Fan's mind, otherwise, I would write some novels like the online articles I read in my previous life?
Or would it be called "History: Ten Girls Started"?
It will definitely be a best seller after writing... Li Fan's thoughts are floating and he fantasizes himself, but an idea really flashed through his mind. Perhaps it will be put into practice soon... In front of him, in the carriage where Zhao Xuening and his son are.
Zhao Xuening heard the voices of the book sellers around him. Although he had already obtained that episode and had read it many times, and had memorized the article "Encouraging Learning", he still couldn't help but unwrap the curtain and said to Bai Qingwan next to him: "Qingwan, go buy a copy."
Bai Qingwan then stepped forward and bought a copy soon after.
"Mother, look, his articles are very popular in Yangzhou City now. It is said that even the great scholars in the Yangzhou Academy and the Yangzhou Branch of the Taixue Academy are highly praised..." She handed the booklet to her mother.
Qin Xinxuan didn't open it at all, but just threw it over and said with a little displeasure: "The higher you hold it, the more you fall it will be.
Have you forgotten that three years ago, didn’t you also praise him for his excellent writing of poetry and great ambitions, so you chose him?
What's the result?"
"He is probably just lucky, but Wang Tianteng is a real talent and knowledgeable person. He has been proficient in poetry and prose since he was a child. He is a real scholarly family. He will definitely win three yuan in a row..." Alas... Listening to his mother's nagging, Zhao Xuening felt a little powerless. His mother was too paranoid in this matter.
Soon, Zhao Enlin's voice came from outside: "Madam, the Qin Mansion has arrived."
The convoy had stopped! Zhao Xuening and his son got out of the car, and the Qin Mansion had already received the news, and people were lined up at the door to greet him lively.
"Second sister, you and Xue Ning's niece have finally arrived. Mom has been talking about you for a long time!"
A middle-aged man in brocade clothes came up to him. He was quite powerful and had an extraordinary appearance.
This person is Zhao Xuening's third uncle, Qin Shangjian.
The Qin family has a great career. In addition to the second daughter Qin Xinxuan marrying Zhao Nantang, the legitimate son Qin Shangran is the chief of the Civil Literature Department of the Zhili Prefecture of Yangzhou, and the real power clerk. Qin Shangjian is the chief in charge of the Qin family's industry and is also a first-class capable person.
"You are getting more and more energetic. How's your mother's body?"
Qin Xinxuan was really happy to see her younger brother.
"Mom is all right, just thinking about her granddaughter!"
As he said that, Qin Shangjian's eyes fell on Zhao Xuening, and he was very happy in his eyes, "I heard that Xuening's niece was finally separated from the waste?"
Good thing, good thing! Look, as soon as the waste left Zhao Mansion, Xue Ning was really getting more and more beautiful!"
Zhao Xuening had a slightly embarrassed face and whispered: "Third uncle, Li Fan... He is also here in Qin Mansion this time."
Upon hearing this, Qin Shangjian's face changed instantly.
Li Fan... is here too?
He immediately looked back.
Li Fan got out of the car at this moment.
At first glance, it is a luxurious house with stone lions on both sides, vast courtyards and continuous red walls, and it is obvious that it is a wealthy family.
"The second time I'm here..." Li Fan's mind flashed through memories.
Three years ago, after Li Fan and Zhao Xuening newly married, they brought Li Fan to the Qin Mansion once. However, that time, Li Fan was ridiculed by the mansion, which made Li Fan extremely embarrassed. Since then, Qin Xinxuan came back to visit relatives and only brought Xue Ning, not Li Fan.
...When his thoughts were flying, he felt a cold look. Looking back, it was Qin Shangshang.
Tsk, this gaze was full of hostility... Li Fan not only did not get angry, but instead smiled indifferently, walked forward, and bowed: "Greetings to my third uncle."
Meeting with my third uncle! Upon hearing this, Qin Shangjian's face changed instantly and he said angrily: "Who is your third uncle?"
You, a waste, dare you call me third uncle?
Are you looking for death?”
He was angry and did not give Li Fan any face! At the same time, he even issued an order to expel guests: "What are you doing when you come to my Qin family?
My Qin family doesn’t welcome you!”
Damn... this hostility... is too much! "My third uncle... it was my father who asked him to come together!"
Zhao Xuening hurriedly said, "Li Fan is the head of the museum examination in Donglin County. It is highly valued by my father. This time he is also coming to Yangzhou to participate in the provincial examination. My father was worried that he was not familiar with Yangzhou and delayed the imperial examination, so he asked him to come to his house to live..." "Hmm?"
Qin Shangjian frowned immediately and glanced at Qin Xinxuan.
Qin Xinxuan's face was also a little ugly, but she nodded and said, "It's what Nantang means."
"This..." Qin Shangjian hesitated, Li Fan?
He didn't care at all, but he didn't dare to give face to Zhao Nantang's words! Although the Qin family is strong, it is just a local family force in Yangzhou, Zhao Nantang?
That is a real authority figure in the court.
"Hmph, since that's the case, let's choose a single room for him to live in!"
He waved his hand, "Asan, go and pack up a servile room!"
The servant room! That is the place for slaves to live... This is a naked humiliation! Li Fan's face became more and more gloomy.
"how?
Are you not happy?
If you are not happy, you can get out."
Qin Shangjian sneered, but there was a cold light hidden in his eyes.
He just wanted to humiliate Li Fan and let Li Fan retreat! This time, after finally seizing the opportunity, the relationship between the Qin family and the Wang family can be further improved, and he must not be disturbed by any unstable factors... Li Fan raised his eyebrows, but looked at Xue Ning, suppressed his anger, and said slowly: "Thank you."
"Li Fan, I am willing to live in a servile house!"
He agreed! The other party was so anxious to drive him away, probably because there was a conspiracy. Li Fan also heard about the last words of the old man from the Qin family. Even if he was a little aggrieved at this moment, he would never let Xue Ning be in the Qin Mansion alone! For Li Fan, protecting Xue Ning... is the most important thing! More important than life! Seeing Li Fan so firm, Zhao Xuening trembled slightly on his beautiful face, and words seemed to flash in his beautiful eyes, but he didn't say it after all, but just clenched his fists gently, and somewhere in his heart was even stronger.
A surprise flashed in Qin Shangjian's eyes. Unexpectedly, Li Fan could endure such humiliation... "Haha, okay, then let's do it."
He didn't say anything anymore. Anyway, after entering the Qin Mansion, there was a chance to let Li Fan get out! "Second sister, Xue Ning, come quickly, I'll take you there, my mother has been waiting for you for a long time..." Qin Shangjian immediately enthusiastically led Zhao Xuening, and Qin Xinxuan and his son walked in, but they didn't care about Li Fan any more.
"Master, we won't live here. I'll order him to the Qin family tonight!"
Beside Li Fan, Xiao Liuzi spoke angrily, his eyes full of hatred.
Already clicked...?
Li Fan was stunned for a moment and took a photo of Xiao Liuzi, "Are we such cruel people?"
Go and take Chen Youting and the others to find a quiet place to stay and take care of them. If you have something to do, I will call you."
After saying that, he calmly entered the Qin family as if nothing had happened!... And at this moment.
The distant Donglin County.
At the mansion, his wife and daughter had already left. In the evening, Zhao Nantang walked alone in the garden. When the autumn wind blew by, he suddenly felt a slight loneliness.
He was old after all... He sighed slightly.
"General, by time, at this time, the wife and the lady should go to the Qin family in Yangzhou."
Lao Qi stood behind Zhao Nantang, with a hint of confusion flashing across his face, and he couldn't help but say, "General, you have always been not very happy with the connection between the Qin family and the Wang family. Why did you take the initiative to let your wife and lady visit relatives this time?"
As he said that, the doubt in his eyes became more and more intense, "And let Li Fan follow him..." This was also the most puzzled thing about him. If the lady went there, it would be fine, what did Li Fan go to do... This is too abnormal.
"In recent years, the Wang family has been in the court. Whenever the new policy is new, they will inevitably charge forward. Although they are powerful, they are the ones who can get along with others, so I don't like it.
Moreover, although Wang Zhibing of the Wang family is the Minister of Rites, he is the Lord and the Sect. Naturally, I will not let my daughter marry his Wang family."
Zhao Nantang spoke calmly.
Lao Qi nodded. This is understandable. Zhao Nantang is a tough guy. Even if he unites with the Wang family, he may have greater benefits. Zhao Nantang will not give up his position because of this.
"I don't want to care about Qin Tuming and the old man of the Wang family, nor can I control it."
"I don't even care about those people in the Qin family who want to climb the high branches of the king's arm."
Zhao Nantang continued.
Upon hearing this, Lao Qi's face became even more puzzled. Since that's the case, why bother to let Qin Xinxuan and his daughter go and bring Li Fan with him... "But, the border will change."
A solemn expression appeared on Zhao Nantang's face, "When the war comes, we will definitely charge outside. At that time, who will help the aid of the country?"
"Why did the general fail back then?
To a large extent, there is no one in the court.”
He sighed deeply.
Even if you have great skills and are separated from the entire civil service group, it is not wise, especially in wartime, which is more likely to happen.
Lao Qi's heart was shocked. Could it be that this change in the situation has caused his general to change his mind and want to marry the Wang family?
In exchange for the support of the King's Arm in the Court?
