Chapter 483: Pen and Ink Scholar
The night was deep, but the potter had not yet slept, he was holding a scroll of slips, which recorded some stories and classics made up by anonymous people hundreds of years ago.
Diao Chan and the child had already gone to sleep, and Mi Zhen also sent someone to greet the potter, intentionally or unintentionally, but asked the potter to go to her residence to rest.
But the potter didn't agree, but just asked people to call back and tell Mi Zhen to let her rest earlier.
It's not that the potter is diligent and readful, but that he knows that someone will come looking for him tonight.
Therefore, while he was reading to kill time, he also asked Pei Qian to tell the guards and doormen on duty what to do if there were guests coming.
The night was already deep, and not long after, the figure of your father and son appeared on a street outside the governor's mansion.
Your old man has a stern look on his face, and he walks in the lead with his hands behind his back.
You Heng followed behind you with a frown, with a gloomy face, completely lacking the arrogance and vigor of his usual days.
Throughout the afternoon, You Heng had already greeted the potter, Tao Qian, and the rest of the sixteen generations of Tao's ancestors with their father and son one by one.
Despicable and shameless means! It's simply inferior! It's outrageous.
Put such a method on yourself, a great man of the world's literary family, isn't the surname Tao afraid of being hit by five thunders from the sky?
But the problem is that even if you can vaguely guess that you are framed right now, you Heng can't do anything.
The reason why he dares to scold people at will, insult people at will, and abuse the personality of others on weekdays is simply because he is not afraid of death.
What can you do to a man who is not afraid of death?
The potter's method of dealing with him is simple: You're not afraid of death, are you? Okay, I'll make your life worse than death.
Today, after such a play, the scandal of abandoning his wife and children has spread in the official and cultural circles of Xuzhou.
One trick is not very good, ruining the reputation of a family for several generations and the future of the whole family of children and grandchildren, is this a matter that You Heng can do as soon as he dies?
He wants to die, and your old man won't let him die.
You Heng is sad in his heart, he can't pick up two simple knives at the moment, kill the general from the main gate of the Tao Mansion, go straight to the back door, kill him seven in and seven out, and then cut the pottery merchant himself into pieces and chew it in his mouth, and then spit on the ground and crush it twice with his foot, and finally set fire to it, Fang poured out the hatred in his heart.
But at most, he just thinks about it.
Since the incident in the morning, he and the You family behind him have been living with low eyebrows in front of the potters in this life.
The father and son came to the door of Tao's mansion and were stopped by the doorkeeper, but they saw that your old man was very humble and said to the doorman: "Your father and son came here in the middle of the night, and they really have something important to ask to see the Taifu. ”
The doorman went immediately, and when he was young, he saw Pei Qian personally come out to greet him.
"Your father, Mr. Zhengping, in Xia Pei Qian, he is the personal attendant of Taifu, it is unfortunate that the two of you came today, Taifu has already slept, if the two gentlemen have something, but tomorrow morning, how about it?"
When you heard this, you said, "Father, then we will come back tomorrow......"
"Shut up the old man!"
Your old man interrupted You Heng with a vicious remark, and then said: "Please also ask Pei Zhuangshi to be accommodating, my father came here late at night, but he has something important to tell the master." ”
"This?" Pei Qian seemed to be a little hesitant.
The old man shook his head at Pei Qian and pleaded, "Ask the strong man to help my father and son." ”
"You don't need to do this, I'll go in again."
You Heng is only twenty-three years old, and although he is proud and talented, he is not as transparent and sophisticated as your old man.
Don't look at it, there is only one night, but if tomorrow is white, the so-called official document of the potter is presented to the Son of Heaven in Fan Du, everything will be regretted too late.
Even if you can recognize your relatives with blood, but if you really act like this, then this matter will definitely spread all over the world more loudly, the so-called human words are terrible, and what will happen to this matter at that time, you old man has no score in his heart.
Regardless of whether this move was made by the potter or not, your old man deeply felt that this was a dead move, and there was no way to solve it.
And he is the only one who can keep your family's reputation.
Your father and son are not afraid of death, but they are afraid that they will have no face to face their ancestors after death.
After waiting outside the mansion for half an hour, Pei Qian finally appeared in front of them.
"Your husband has been waiting for a long time, the Taifu has woken up, please go to the side hall to meet you."
Your old man finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The father and son followed Pei Qian to the side hall, but they saw that the potter was dressed neatly up and down, and looked at Jian Mu with a refreshed face, where was the sleepy look of half a minute just getting up.
As soon as You Heng saw him like this, the old problem suddenly recurred.
"Taifu Tao, in the middle of the night, what do you mean by letting my father and son wait outside and snub the Magi!"
When the potter heard You Heng's tone, he frowned and said, "Get out!" ”
"What?"
"I'll let you out, when will you speak human words, come again!"
You Heng opened his mouth and wanted to pay homage, but he suddenly realized something and didn't make a sound.
You old man sighed, turned around and glared at You Heng, and then waved his hand.
The two of them walked out again, and after a while, they re-entered the side hall.
"I've seen Taifu."
The two of them looked at the potter deeply and said in a low voice.
The potter put down the slip in his hand, looked at the two of them with satisfaction for a while, and suddenly said in surprise: "Your father, Mr. Zhengping, why are you here?" ”
You Heng almost died of anger when he heard this.
Listening to this tone, it was as if he had just learned that the two of them were coming.
I don't know who the phrase "get out" was said to just now?
Your old man is quite into the play, and he is busy cooperating with the pottery businessman: "Taifu, please save my family." ”
Seeing this, the potter was surprised and said, "Your father, what do you mean by this?" ”
"Taifu...... My family has no grievances with you, so why do you want to kill them all? ”
The potter smiled slightly and said, "Your father, what you said is not right, what do you mean for me to kill them all?" Tao is a famous gentleman in the world, and he has never harmed others. ”
Your old man's face was suffocated, and he suddenly said: "As long as Taifu is willing to help my Taifu, my father and son are willing to go to the soup for Taifu, and from now on, only Taifu's order will be obeyed." ”
The potter looked at your old man's depressed and pleading expression, and his heart was somewhat unbearable.
Although your father and son's mouth was very smelly and their temper was quite bad, on the whole there was no major sin, and they did not cause any direct damage to the interests of the potter, and in some respects, the potter did want to use Youheng.
After pondering for a while, the pottery merchant suddenly spoke: "You Zhengping, Tao appointed you as the scribe Wenlang in my house, and he is responsible for writing and drafting various documents, documents, official documents, political dignitaries, etc., can you be convinced?" ”
When You Heng heard that the position assigned to him by the potter was actually a writer, he felt a little ashamed in his heart.
He was just about to say something against it, but the potter opposite him smiled and waved the slip in his hand at him, it was obvious that he would send someone to send a telegram to the Son of Heaven tomorrow.
By the way, there is also the angry and warning eyes of your father.
You Heng sighed and said aggrievedly: "I will receive the order below, and I am willing to write for the Taifu." ”
Tao Shang nodded and continued: "As for the report sent to Fan Du to the Son of Heaven, Tao will temporarily detain it and not submit it, and the mouths of the Xuzhou scholars and students will also be sealed by Tao Mou, as for the woman and child you know in Lu State...... Our brothers are so good, who is with whom? I will help you raise a woman, I will also help you raise a child, and when the child grows up in the future, I will send it directly to let you recognize your relatives, and as soon as you get out of the mountain, you can directly support you for the elderly, what do you think? ”
You Heng's heart was sour when he heard this, and he understood that the potter was planning to use this handle to govern himself for the rest of his life.
And if nothing else, as long as he dares to show his hair in front of the potter in the future, the handle in the potter's hand will be made public, unless he throws away his life, face, family future and reputation, otherwise he can only obediently act obediently.
