Chapter 588: Reality is as cold as ice

"Back then, I was accepted as a disciple by Mr. Meng, and the disciple was grateful. To be honest, for the Lin family, I don't feel the warmth of home. But since I joined the school, I feel at home. In my mind, my husband and sister are my parents, and my sister is my ...... Sister. My respect for my husband and wife, and my love for my sister can be expressed every day. If there is something in this world that I can protect with my life, Mr. and my sister will be among them. The students also want to be looked up to and respected like Mr. and Master Yan. But this is the difference between people, students yearn for it, but they can't reach it. In this life, students may only be able to do some trivial and trivial things, or they may only be able to make some small profits for themselves. But the student thought that as long as the student did not do anything that harmed the country and the people in his life, he should live up to his teachings. The rest of the things, students really can't do. ”

What Lin Jue said was also his heartfelt words, but he also clearly told Fang Dunru, if you want me to become a person like you, I am afraid it is absolutely impossible. I am who I am, and I go my own way. You force me, it's useless. I just hope that these things don't ruin the relationship between our master and apprentice.

Fang Huanqiu was silently crying while listening. During this time, she also knew some contradictions between Lin Jue and her father. Especially the conflict between Lin Jue and his father in order to save the second uncle of the Lin family, and his father also said it a few times at home. Every time, he was heartbroken, saying that Lin Jue had failed to live up to his expectations. As far as Fang Huanqiu is concerned, she naturally can't judge who is right and who is wrong, but she understands that if the relationship between Lin Jue and her father continues to deteriorate, then the matter between her and Lin Jue will become more and more slim. Huanqiu has the most innocent hope, that is, he hopes that his father and Lin Jue will still be the same as before, like father and son, and will not give birth to mustard. But she also knows that it will be difficult. Today, Lin Jue said these sincere words, which naturally moved her, but at the same time, she also realized that the problem between her father and Lin Jue was more serious than she imagined.

Fang Dunru listened to Lin Jue's words and felt slightly disappointed in his heart. However, Lin Jue's words came from the bottom of his heart, which made Fang Dunru feel a lot better. Looking back on the past few years, Lin Jue has indeed respected and filial piety for himself everywhere. And I didn't really help him much. Although Lin Jue has been a little out of the ordinary in recent matters, in the final analysis, it is because he wants to save Lin Bonian. It can be seen from this that Lin Jue is actually practicing the persistence in his own heart and protecting the relatives around him. As he said, if he or his wife and children suffered, Lin Jue would definitely rush out to protect him desperately. Fong firmly believes this.

"Look, what's something that can't be solved through good communication? After listening to the dialogue between your master and apprentice, the old man was moved. It's a pity that I don't have that patience, otherwise I would have wanted to take in a student. Hehehe. Yan Zhengsu said with a smile.

Fang Dunru did not ease up because of his solemn words, he stared at Lin Jue and asked in a deep voice, "Lin Jue, as a teacher, I believe that you are sincere to us. If you don't say these things, we all know them. However, in the face of the invitation of Master Yan and his teacher, you chose to refuse. Can you tell me why you're doing this? Could it be that you even think that Master Yan and the teacher have done something wrong about changing the Fa? Don't bother to be with us? ”

Yan Zhengsu's face also became solemn when he heard this, and both of them looked at Lin Jue and waited for his answer.

Lin Jue sighed and said in his heart: "It's finally here, this is the main topic I have to face when I am invited here tonight." ”

Lin Jue pondered how to phrase it to explain it clearly, and his tone was more tactful. He knew that this matter was definitely not a trivial matter, it was a major matter related to the position. Judging from the current situation, Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru will never compromise on their positions, and if they express themselves the slightest carelessly, they may be classified as one of the factions that oppose the reform of the law. Then, the relationship between himself and Fang Dunru will take a turn for the worse, and no matter how warm he says, it will be difficult to bridge. Lin Bonian's incident has explained everything, Mr. Fang and Lord Yan have poured all their efforts and enthusiasm into changing the law, and they can't turn back.

"The meal is ready, let's go inside and eat." Mrs. Fang stood at the door and shouted, breaking the almost frozen tense atmosphere in an instant. It also made Lin Jue breathe a sigh of relief.

"Sir, Lord Yan, let's talk while eating in the house." Lin Jue got up and smiled.

Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru also stood up and walked side by side into the house, which was originally cooler outside. But these things are a bit sensitive, and it is not appropriate to talk outside. Although there is not much walking in the box, it is better to be careful.

The dishes on the table are actually just ordinary home-cooked dishes. Two plates of green vegetables, a plate of cold thistle sprouts, a pot of fish, a pot of river shrimp, and a pot of egg and bean curd soup are all appetizers. The wine is not bad, it is the good wine that Lin Jue brought last time. Lin Jue naturally took on the task of holding the pot, holding the wine jug and pouring wine for Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru.

Fang Huanqiu moved a chair and sat on the side two feet away from Lin Jue, holding a fan in his hand and fanning it gently, while sending a cool breeze to Lin Jue, he also sent a wisp of fragrance from the girl's body to Lin Jue's nose.

Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru touched a cup and drank it dry. After Lin Jue continued to serve the glass, he picked up the wine glass and got up to toast Fang Dunru. Fang Dunru sat still, folded his arms and frowned.

Mrs. Fang thought that Fang Dunru hadn't seen it, and reminded, "Lin Jue will toast you." ”

Fang Dunru said: "I'm not blind, I can see it." But I can't drink it. Lin Jue, tell me first, why do you refuse to come to the new yamen to serve? I want to know the real reason, don't prevaricate me. Then I decide whether to drink this wine or not? ”

Mrs. Fang said angrily: "How can you drink so much exquisiteness, it's really inexplicable." Lin Jue, my wife will accompany you for a drink. ”

Mrs. Fang picked up the wine cup. Fang Dunru slapped it on the table and shouted, "Women's family, what are you mixed with?" Sit on the side. ”

Master Fang's hair exploded, and her eyes were about to hair, Lin Jue hurriedly said: "Master, if Mr. and the student have something important, Master and Mother will rest first." Sister, accompany my wife to the yard to cool off. ”

Fang Huanqiu hurriedly agreed, stepped forward and grabbed Mrs. Fang's arm and pulled it out. Mrs. Fang said angrily: "Who provoked him again? Tantrums at every turn? Is it not pleasing to look at our mother and son? Catch Ming'er and Qiu'er back to their parents' house, or go back to Hangzhou. Out of sight, out of mind......"

Yan Zhengsu smiled bitterly and arched his hand: "Sister-in-law, don't be angry with Brother Dunru, this time is too busy, many things are annoying, and Brother Dunru is in a bad mood." Thank you for your understanding. ”

"Phew! Ming'er washed her clothes by herself. Mrs. Fang walked to the door and turned around to add a sentence, but was pulled out of the door by Fang Huanqiu.

In the room, Lin Jue was also a little embarrassed. The atmosphere that was supposed to be good suddenly took a turn for the worse. Fang Dunru's reaction to his refusal was so great, which made Lin Jue a little surprised.

"Sir. The reason why the student refused was for the sake of Mr. and Master Yan. I'm your student after all. Entering the new yamen will leave the cronyism of Lord Yan and Mr. Yan. This would damage the prestige of Lord Yan and Mr. Yan. Hence ......"

Lin Jue was halfway through his words, but he was interrupted by Fang Dunru in a cold voice: "Don't come to this set." It's obviously not for this reason, but you say it so high-soundingly. Everyone knows that our Dunru and Lord Yan are both people who are right about things and not about people. We only use the people who are available. If you are not suitable, we will never transfer you to the new yamen. You say this, but you are just perfunctory. ”

Lin Jue scratched his head in embarrassment, this was indeed his perfunctory words. But do you want to say your reasons directly? Wouldn't that be a big offense?

"Lin Jue, you tell the truth. You don't have to go around these bends. Or if you don't support the change of the law, just say it. The new yamen is set up for the reform of the law, and those who do not support the change of the law are useless even if they are only eight buckets high. The reason why this official transferred you to the post is precisely because he has read your article and knows you well, and knows that you should have a supportive attitude towards the change of the law. If the judgment of the official is wrong, then it is not too late to take back the fate. However, the official wants to hear the truth from you, not from a lie. You don't blame Brother Dun for taking this matter so seriously. You don't want to think about it either. The reform of the law has just begun, and now is the time for official agitation and publicity. At this moment, as a student of Brother Dunru, he refuses to serve in the law reform body, what kind of public opinion will this bring? Think about it from your husband's point of view, and you'll understand. Yan Zheng said solemnly.

Lin Jue nodded slowly, what Yan Zhengsu said made sense. At the beginning of the reform, it was the time to make a positive announcement. As a student of Fang Dunru, he refused to participate in the change. This incident alone will soon be used and spread by some people and become public opinion attacking and changing the law. Fang Dunru definitely didn't want this to happen. If he wasn't his student, he probably wouldn't have to worry about that.

"Lord Yan, sir. There is no doubt that students are supportive of the change. From the very beginning, the students understood the intention of Mr. and Mr. Yan to change the current predicament of Da Zhou and implement change. It is true that although my Da Zhou looks splendid and prosperous, it is already full of holes inside. Now the Great Zhou treasury is empty and the finances are tight. The phenomenon of redundant soldiers and redundant officials is very serious, and the people are becoming more and more miserable. If this situation is not changed, our Great Zhou will face a great dilemma and even a crisis. I have heard that I have a million male soldiers in the Great Zhou, but I am terrified of the threat of the Liao, which is not a joke. Seven or eight out of ten of the world's finances and taxes belong to raising soldiers, but in the end, these soldiers and horses cannot give the protection of the safety of the Great Zhou, which is simply incredible. The imperial court's finances and taxes have dropped sharply year by year, and Yin eats grain, dragging from east to west, and is stretched. Isn't this the end of the game? On the other hand, the officials are extravagant and corrupt, and the court has no plans to spend it, so it only puts the burden on the people and imposes taxes, is it the right way? In this case, changing the law may be the only way out, otherwise my Great Zhou will be empty of a splendid and prosperous, the inside will be corroded and decayed, and when the wind and rain come, the building will fall. And all of this requires a change to change. Therefore, the students are in favor of the change and hope that it will succeed. ”
