Chapter 288: The so-called character
After thinking about it, Fang Yingwu decided to forgive Xiang Dagongzi and not put him back in prison. After all, he was locked up in prison for a day, and he didn't know what was going on outside, and he was understandably heartless.
However, Fang Yingwu found that he was a little envious of Xiang Gongzi. Now he and Xiang Chengxian's own conditions are similar, and they are both famous, but Xiang Dagongzi can live so happily, unlike him who thinks so much.
Thinking about it, is it because I also have a curiosity and yearning for the superstructure in my subconscious, and I don't want to miss the opportunity in this life? In my previous life, I often laughed at myself and said that Chinese people like to talk about politics, and I can't avoid vulgarity when it's my turn.
Or maybe it's because I studied the history of the Ming Dynasty in my last life, and after crossing over, I saw that what I learned in my life could come in handy, and my heart itched, otherwise what did I learn? If you don't use the skill of slaying dragons, what is the value of life?
Speechless all the way, Fang Yingwu and Xiang Chengxian mocked each other while staggering back to Xicheng. When he was about to get home, Fang Yingwu slapped his forehead suddenly, suddenly remembered something, and said to Xiang Chengxian: "You go back by yourself first, I have to go to another place." β
After that, Fang Yingwu didn't explain much, and walked in another direction without looking back. "It's quite mysterious" Xiang Chengxian didn't care, and after muttering a few words, he shook his head and went back to his residence.
After another quarter of an hour, it was already dark, but Fang Yingwu appeared outside the gate of the university scholar Liu's mansion. Of course, this Liu Mansion is Liu Mian's Liu Mansion, not Liu Jue's Liu Mansion, and Fang Yingwu didn't have the courage to break into Liu Kuo's house.
The reason why he rushed here in a hurry was only because Fang Yingwu suddenly thought that Liu Mian was a member of the cabinet. If you see the twists and turns of Yu Yushi and Zhang Bulang, or if the news of yourself and Liu Ergongzi spreads and Liu Mian hears it. What would he have in mind?
So far, Liu Mian is the most likely future father-in-law. And the father-in-law looked at the peachy news of his son-in-law. The mood is definitely not the same mood as others looking at the peachy news of unrelated people, and the angle is definitely not the same angle
What's more, the other party should be in a relatively critical period of being investigated, if Liu Mian feels that he is not respected, and does something irrational in anger, then the other side should not gain more than he loses.
Even if he takes 10,000 steps back and says that Liu Mian is generous and does not blame, that Fang Yingwu also knows that he must come to the door as soon as possible to explain carefully, at least this is a manifestation of a good attitude after making a mistake.
Liu Mian is a person who is as careful as a hair. It is impossible for such a person not to care about the details, and if Fang Yingwu does not come to the door, it is a mistake in the details, and he will definitely be blamed.
Gossip aside, Fang Yingwu's treatment in Liu's Mansion is not bad, almost close to the treatment of relatives. As the saying goes, the prime minister has a seven-grade official in front of the door, but the door official of Liu's Mansion is very polite, and the other party does not put out a seven-grade shelf.
Fang Yingwu only showed his face in the gatehouse, and was smoothly led to the study in the inner courtyard. After waiting for a while, Liu Ji was wearing a satin robe from home. Walked in from behind the curtain of the study.
Sitting firmly on the couch, Liu Ji asked the other party: "I haven't seen you for some days, how are you reading?" Now that there is less than half a month before the spring festival, how are you prepared? β
Fang Yingwu replied very formulaically: "I have been reading and figuring out the current text behind closed doors for many days. There is nothing else to think about but to do your best. β
Liu Ji nodded, "Don't disappoint the old man." β
Fang Yingwu was very impulsive and wanted to ask. What if you get down? But I can't ask, not because I'm afraid of hearing a depressing answer. The main reason is that it is too naΓ―ve to ask this, which affects Liu Mian's perception of himself.
The greetings are over. Liu Mian asked again: "You suddenly came at this time, is there something in a hurry?" β
When Fang Yingwu opened his mouth, he felt that he was really embarrassed to say this, but he couldn't help but say it. He gritted his teeth and told him what happened today, the details were the performance of Liu Ergongzi, and the brief details were the details of his relationship with Du Xiangqin. Then Fang Yingwu closed his mouth and quietly waited for Liu Mian's reaction.
Liu Ji was indeed surprised, and was stunned for a moment, and then his slender eyes suddenly became round, and he almost roared: "The old man thinks that you are a talented and characterful teenager, so he has always valued you!" But I didn't expect that your character would also have a problem! β
Fang Yingwu was puzzled, what kind of thing Liu Mian said was this, why couldn't he understand it? can only subconsciously explain vaguely: "What does this have to do with character? Boy, I have suffered a pure disaster today, and it is just an accident. I'm still me, and my character is still very strong! β
Liu Mian was unceremonious and continued to reprimand: "What is character? When you risked your life to save your father, you were loyal and filial, this is called character; You are not depressed and depressed, and you have the courage to make meritorious contributions, this is called character! You dare to go around alone and expose the corruption of the big people, this is called character! β
Fang Yingwu suddenly realized that this character is not better than his character. The character that Liu Mian said refers to the character in the mouths of others, that is, the reputation and reputation he has brushed out.
But Fang Yingwu still didn't understand, this Liu Daxue's reaction was still too peculiar. Why didn't he care about whether he was worthy of his expectations, but only on "character", and even more anxious than himself? He's always been very sensible, isn't he overreacting this time?
As if seeing Fang Yingwu's doubts, Liu Mian snorted coldly: "The old man does not lack fame and fortune, power and wealth, and what he values most is your character." Why are you so self-loving? If you don't have character, what do you have? β
Fang Yingwu is worthy of being a character who can understand Liu Mian, almost instantly, and immediately understood what Liu Mian meant. The so-called "valuing character" is just a beautifying statement, but in fact, the original meaning should be "greedy for fame".
Although this scholar Liu was ridiculed as cotton by Shilin, his heart that wanted to be whitewashed has never changed, and last time he was willing to save his father for the purpose of gaining fame, but the effect was not ideal.
On the contrary, Lao Tzu and his son are all well-known clear streams, who have been sent to prisons and flowing through the frontier, and all indicators are hard, and they also take the line of Wang Shu, a famous minister at home.
Marriage with the Fang family, for Liu Mian, who is only two steps away from reaching the top, is it not learning from each other's strengths? There is no need to use this to whitewash, it is not a bad thing to have one more relationship with Qingliu, and one more relationship will have one more road.
It can even be said that this is a pre-layout for the back road. Imagine, if one day Qingliu Zhengren counterattacks, the father and son of the Fang family have become tide makers again, can they kill Liu Mian? Therefore, Liu Mian attaches great importance to the reputation of the other party, even more important than his own reputation.
It turned out that Liu Mian's layout and this layer of thinking Fang Yingwu sighed secretly after thoroughly understanding it, he deserved to be a tumbler in the political arena, and he couldn't be unconvinced. Compared to his old man's cultivation realm, he was indeed a cut behind.
Liu Mian got angry, returned to his normal state of not moving like a mountain, stroked his beard and said: "It's useless to scold you at this time, if something goes wrong, try your best to save it, you must find a way, it can't affect your reputation." And you have to be doubly careful of Liu Shuwen's calculations, he is a person with a good face, and he can do whatever it takes to save face. β
Liu Shuwen is the second assistant Liu Yu, the word Shuwen, there are few people in the world who can directly call him Liu Shuwen, and Liu Mian, who has a similar status, is one of them.
"Yes, yes." Fang Yingwu responded, since Liu Mian deliberately pointed out that he should be careful of Liu Jue, it must not be for no reason. So he thought about it in his heart, should he ask Liu Mian for specific advice? After all, Liu Mian is more familiar with Liu Kuo's temperament and behavior pattern.
At this moment, Liu Ji suddenly slapped the case, which startled Fang Yingwu, and he didn't know what Liu Mian was stimulated again.
Liu Mian suddenly looked angry, and pointed like a halberd, scolding Fang Yingwu and said: "The old man values you so much, and has the idea of recruiting you as a son-in-law, you actually went to look for flowers and ask for willows, and caused such a big scandal." I don't take my Liu family in my eyes, don't you really marry the old man's daughter! β
Fang Yingwu was choked up and speechless for a long time, this is like the words and deeds of a future old man, your old man only reacted when he came here? What was going through your mind when you said a lot of things earlier?
The thinking mode of high-end politicians is really different from ordinary people, and the advantages and disadvantages are analyzed in advance, and then there are various emotions, which seems to have almost become instinctive. (To be continued......)
