After the king of Yanping County came, someone came to the door one after another, Qiu Ge and Lu Fan came together, the three of them laughed for an afternoon, these two people were still wandering, Lu Fan directly exposed Qiu Ge's old bottom, saying that he had recently become obsessed with a tea lady, and soaked in the tea house all day long.

Liu Han's heart moved, and he asked with a smile: "What, Brother Qiu hasn't succeeded yet?"

"Brother Liu's words are wrong, the beauty of this woman is rare in the world, it is a kind of beauty from the heart," Qiu Ge boasted leisurely: "The face is like a hibiscus, the autumn water is a god, the slender jade fingers, the wrist is condensed, that smile makes people ecstatic, alas." ”

Lu Fan sneered, Liu Han felt a little surprised, Zuo Lan is beautiful, is it so beautiful?

"It seems that you haven't succeeded yet, brother, alas, brother, Fengshen is handsome, with a family background, and your brother is only eight buckets high, and he is a good channel, so ****** is not tempted?" Liu Han teased: "I think that ****** is really eye-catching." ”

Qiu Ge was very disappointed, looked at Liu Han and Lu Fan shook his head slightly, and sighed hatefully: "I still think that both of them are noble people, but I didn't think about it, that is, I am a person with rotten skin, it's a pity!"

Lu Fan and Liu Han laughed at the same time.

After talking about Feng Laiyi, and chatting about some gossip in the imperial capital, Lu Fan invited Liu Han to participate in their Xuan Xiu, Liu Han refused with a smile, he didn't plan to participate in this matter, this kind of so-called Xuan Xiu In his opinion, this kind of so-called Xuan Xiu is just the rich second generation taking drugs together, taking ****** pills, taking advantage of the strength of the medicine, doing some strange things, including group p and the like. He would never dare to participate in such a ridiculous thing, the imperial capital was full of murderous opportunities, and participating in this kind of gathering would undoubtedly seek death.

After chatting nonsense for an afternoon, the two of them went out, and both of them were going to participate in the Changchun Temple to participate in the Xuan Xiu, Liu Han was a little puzzled when he heard this, this Changchun Temple is still Xuan Xiu? He suddenly remembered that Yun Qing went to the Changchun Temple that day, and there was a junior sister there.

"This Changchun view is divided into two views, the east view is the male view, the west view is the female view, we are in the east view of the Xuan Xiu, sometimes, the west view of the Taoist aunt also come to participate. ”

Lu Fan obviously misunderstood, and hurriedly explained to Liu Han, but this explanation was better than not explaining, it was even more confusing.

Liu Han sent the two of them away with a smile, stood at the gate of the house, watched the carriage of the two go away, and suddenly looked up at the restaurant opposite, on the second floor, in the room on the left, the two figures quickly dodged, and Liu Han then looked at the stall on the corner and the vendor next to him.

Turning to enter the house, the door was immediately closed. The air on the street suddenly relaxed, the hawkers' cries suddenly became louder, and the strength of the stall owner and noodles became louder.

The door of the house suddenly opened again, and a few neatly dressed men in green clothes came out and walked to the stalls, vendors, and idlers.... In front of each target, one in front of each target, he didn't speak, just stared at them with an expressionless face.

Hawkers, stall owners, idlers.... , looked flustered, closed the stall, picked the burden, and the idler walked away lazily.

On the second floor of the restaurant, there is a private room on the left.

Wang Fen and Gong Xiu sat opposite each other, and just now the two of them looked at Liu Han in front of the mansion through the window.

"He already knows we're here. Wang Fen sighed, according to the news he received, after learning the results of the battle of Liulin and the battle of Junyi, the old ancestor threw two beloved fine porcelain teacups in a row, and even the most favored white-haired poodle was killed.

"Ancestor, alas. Gong Xiu had a long talk, this time the Wang family suffered heavy losses, before the Liulin War, Wang Fen didn't know the existence of the fisherman and Jueming, the fisherman was the worship of the Wang family, and Jueming was Wang Ze's senior brother. Jueming's cultivation was so profound that Wang Fen was very shocked, didn't Wang Ze study at the Qingzhou Langya Qingshi Academy?

What is this uncle studying in Langya Bluestone Academy?

It's a pity that in the face of his temptation, Wang Ze didn't pay attention to it at all.

Wang Ze sent someone to Liulin, found Jueming's body, and carefully examined the body, and finally asserted that Jueming was not killed by Liu Han, but a fourth person, and then, the news of the fisherman came, and Jueming died from the sneak attack of the man in black.

Men in Black?!!!

This man in black must have a cultivation above the grandmaster, Wang Ze immediately asserted after looking at the news sent by Du Niao.

It was this assertion that surprised Wang Fen, and he tentatively asked why, Wang Ze blurted out, even if he was injured, the Grandmaster would not want to sneak attack the senior brother.

It's a pity that just this sentence, and then Wang Ze was alert and refused to disclose any news.

But just this sentence has set off a monstrous wave in Wang Fen's heart.

Gong Xiu didn't understand why Wang Ze asked them to come here to keep an eye on Liufu.

If you want to keep an eye on Liufu, there are so many people in the palace, who can't come, you have to let them come.

This failure, in Gong Xiu's view, just proved Wang Fen's previous proposition, making peace with Liu Han and sharing the benefits of Caoyun.

"What do you think the Eighth Master has in mind?" Gong Xiu asked.

Wang Ze has now replaced Wang Fen, and the forces of Wang and Xu in the imperial capital are all controlled by him.

Wang Fen didn't answer, just looked at the Liufu opposite, after the Liufu family came out, most of the forces staring at the Liufu were withdrawn, and the rest were either in the restaurant or hiding far away.

"Brother Wang, you have to have an idea. Gong Xiu lowered his voice and said, Wang Fen didn't answer, he still looked at Liufu, looking at Liufu here, he could only see the front yard, and the backyard couldn't be seen at all. The courtyard was quiet, and there were hardly any people to be seen, except for the occasional man who hurried past with something and quickly disappeared into the greenery.

"The barriers are strict, and the family is well governed, no wonder the Tian family returned last time. Wang Fen muttered to himself, Gong Xiu was slightly stunned, turned his head to look, and couldn't help sighing, in the eyes of ordinary people, all this is normal, but in the eyes of connoisseurs, it is not, this means that the Liufu has a degree, each performing its own duties, without the slightest chaos.

"Tian Ning is dead, I don't know how Tian Si is going to arrange the affairs of the second room?" There was a taste of schadenfreude in Gong Xiu's tone, in the family, even the inheritance of each room is not arbitrary, the patriarch has a great right to speak, even if Tian Rong is the eldest son, it is likely that he will not be able to inherit Tian Ning's position as the head of the family.

The most important thing is that Tian Rong's reputation is not good, he has been wandering in the imperial capital for so many years, and he has participated in two autumn products, but he only got a mid-grade evaluation, which can be regarded as a failure in a portal like the Tian family.

Every family has its own problems, and the children of the family also have a difficult life.

"The Tian family," Wang Fen shook his head and said, "I'm afraid the Tian family is about to decline." ”

Gong Xiu looked at Wang Fen and nodded, there is a lack of outstanding children in the Tian family, and most of the children in the family are unbearable, and I have never heard of any outstanding people.

On the contrary, the generation of the Wang family has produced many talents, Wang Fen is already very good, the martial artist is high-grade and cultivated, and he is also well-known in Shilin, but even such a person cannot guarantee to ascend to the position of patriarch.

Wang Fen looked at it again for a while, then got up: "Go back." ”

Under strict protection, Wang Fen returned to the mansion in the north of the city, this is the mansion of the Xu family, this mansion is not big, after the first battle of Liulin, Wang Ze immediately ordered to move here, and only brought some masters such as Huang Shen Zengsheng, and none of the other subordinates were brought.

Wang Fen didn't know before, the Xu family also has a mansion here, which is a downtown area, there are many merchant restaurants around, on the opposite side, there is a Taoist temple called Guanchao Palace, this Taoist temple is also not big, it is very inconspicuous among the many Taoist temples in the imperial capital, and the incense is not prosperous.

There is no plaque outside the mansion of the Xu family, and the yard that enters the door is not big, but after passing through the courtyard and entering the backyard, I found that this place is actually very spacious, the middle of the yard is a rockery, the mountain is covered with moss, the mountain spring flows thinly, there are several small pines on the mountainside, and there is a bush of green bamboo at the foot of the mountain, which is lush and green.

The yard is very quiet, the whole yard is built around the rockery, all of them are wooden floors, Wang Fen they take off their shoes at the door, only wear white cotton socks, step on the floor, the floor is very clean, there is not a grain of dust, two maids holding tea trays, also wearing white cotton socks, quietly appeared on the corridor, saw Wang Fen and them, quickly retreated to the side and bowed, Wang Fen asked in a low voice where Wang Ze was, and left directly.

The whole courtyard was in a hollow, and the doors of all the rooms were open in the cloister, and there was not a single sound in the courtyard, as if there was no one.

"Come in. ”

Wang Fen walked to the door, and before he could speak, he heard Wang Ze's voice from inside, and now he was mentally prepared, knowing that Wang Ze's cultivation was above him, he had crossed the threshold, and he came to the door by himself, so he naturally couldn't hide it.

Pushing the door in, Wang Ze looked at Gong Xiu, Gong Xiu hurriedly stopped, did not follow in, he was slightly surprised, after closing the door, he glanced at Huang Shen Zengsheng, the two of them were thinking about what to do, and Wang Fen's voice came from inside the door.

"You go down and rest first, I'll talk to my uncle about something. ”

The three of them had to retreat, but they were much more relieved.

But Wang Fen was nervous in his heart, someone had to be responsible for such a fiasco, besides, secretly, he still had contact with Liu Han, which was actually a betrayal of the family.

Wang Ze glanced at him, lifted the teapot and poured him a cup of tea, and then put down the teapot, all of which was done lightly.

Wang Fen bowed his head slightly and thanked him, then picked up the teacup, took a small sip first, did not swallow it, but put it in his mouth, and then swallowed it, all this was done very naturally, without a single flaw.

"Uncle's tea ceremony is getting more and more flavorful. Wang Fen put down the teacup and exclaimed.

"This tea ceremony pays attention to meditation," Wang Ze said, his face was calm, and he still had a faint smile, as if it was not a fiasco but a big victory in the past: "Only when the mind is calm, the wind and rain outside can not affect your vision." ”

"That's what Uncle said. Wang Ze is not a few years older than Wang Fen, but these two uncles, Wang Fen is full of sincerity, revealing full affection.

Wang Ze motioned to drink tea, Wang Fen took it and took two sips, Wang Ze continued: "Tea is a way, to say Yadao, this elegant word, the charm is endless, go with your heart, there is no way to change." ”

Wang Fen didn't interject, just listened quietly, looking at Wang Ze's bookish face, Liu Han's face suddenly appeared in his mind, and after careful comparison in his heart, he found that the two of them were very different in appearance, Wang Ze was like a scholar physically and mentally, and the nobility cultivated by a wealthy family naturally exuded at any time;

"What the uncle said is that the little nephew should put more effort into nurturing his nature. Wang Fen replied, Wang Ze nodded with satisfaction, picked up a piece of paper and pushed it over, Wang Fen took it respectfully, Wang Ze said: "The ancestor let you have full authority to deal with the affairs of the imperial capital, and agreed to make peace with Liu Han, the conditions, the ancestor means that the Yellow River waterway is shared, the north of the Yellow River belongs to us, and the south of the Yellow River belongs to them." ”

Wang Fen couldn't help frowning when he heard this, these conditions are one step further than the original conditions, besides, the Huangsha Gang has been destroyed, not to mention the Yellow River waterway, even if the waterway north of the Yellow River, does the Wang family still have a boat? Moreover, this condition is one step further, to share the Yellow River waterway, this, will Liu Han agree?

"This imperial capital is handed over to me, where is my uncle going?" Wang Fen asked first, Wang Ze did not evade, and said: "The ancestor asked me to go to Jiangnan. ”

Wang Fen waited, but Wang Ze didn't continue, but picked up the teacup, Wang Fen knew that he wouldn't say any more, so he sighed with a wry smile: "This condition is a step further than the one that Liu Han promised last time, I don't know if he will agree." ”

It was obvious that after winning the Battle of Liulin, would Liu Han still accept such conditions? Wang Fen was completely unsure.

"Prince Xiao Zhao will go to Liufu tomorrow and invite Liu Han to Baiyi Garden for a banquet," Wang Ze put down the teacup and said slowly: "I'll leave tomorrow, and I'll leave it all to you here," paused, and added: "Tomorrow you go to Baiyi Garden, see what Liu Han's conditions are, and then report to the ancestor." ”

Wang Fen understood, this condition was a temptation, and seeing Liu Han's reaction, he took a deep breath and asked, "Uncle, what is the bottom line of the ancestor?"

"I don't know," Wang Ze replied: "This Liu Han is a businessman, looking at his style of acting, he should talk, you have a good talk with him, Fen'er, remember, don't act arbitrarily, the Wang family is your strongest backing." ”

"My nephew understood. Wang Fen's heart sank, and he hurriedly said.

Wang Ze stood up: "Judging from all aspects of intelligence, Liu Han's injury in Liulin is not light, hmph, more than ten days of healing, just think about it?! ”

The little nephew understood. Wang Fen owed again, this time he really understood that he wanted to take advantage of Liu Han's injury to force him to agree to this condition, at least let the Wang family lose not too ugly.

After saying this, both of them quieted down, the water turned over, bubbling hot, Wang Fen lifted it up and poured it into the teapot, and then put it down, and then clapped his hands, the side door opened, a maid came in, picked up the kettle and went out, and after a while, he brought a kettle in, put it on the side, first added a piece of charcoal to the small stove, and then put the kettle on, and then gave a salute and retreated.

The coals quickly turned red, the flames grilled the bottom of the kettle, and the flames were actually blue on the periphery, which was the sign of the best coals.

The two drank a few cups of tea quietly, Wang Ze kept looking at Wang Fen, Wang Fen poured tea, drank tea, and his movements were smooth, completely standard etiquette.

After a few cups of tea, Wang Ze asked again: "Let you go to Liufu in the past few days and see something?"

When he was in the restaurant, Gong Xiu was wondering, although he didn't ask, Wang Fen knew his questions.

Again, on the first day, he had such doubts, but now he understood.

Governing the family is governing things, and you can see Liu Han's handling by looking at Liufu.

"Up and down the Liufu, the maids and soldiers, all of them are measured, up and down the house, and people are self-regulated. Wang Fen pondered and said, after more than ten days of observation, he did not see anyone in Liufu making loud noises, nor did he see any quarrels, whether it was the maid servants, the family generals, or even those children who were still studying, everyone appeared on time where they should appear.

In the early morning, when the sun first appears, someone must appear in the yard to clean up, and the smoke from the kitchen must rise. He didn't even see anyone throwing anything, he didn't see anyone pouring water, and when the maids had washed, they would pour water into the sink instead of splashing it with their hands, and the washed clothes would have to be hung in the prescribed place.

Wang Qianjin has had many families, but he has never seen such an order in that family.

"I sometimes think that this Liu Han is not like a businessman, but like a general. Wang Fen paused and said as if he had a conclusion: "This is an extremely difficult person to deal with, and it is also an opponent who can be negotiated, for one reason, there is a degree." ”

After hearing this, Wang Ze nodded with satisfaction, and then sighed softly, which was also what he saw.

Don't think that he has stayed at home for more than ten days, but Wang Fen went out on the front foot, and he also went out on the back foot, observing the Liufu in a farther place, and sometimes going at night, but.... , he didn't go in because he didn't find a gap.

The defense of Liufu does not seem to be tight, but the place that is not tight has no value, and the place of value cannot even fly into it.

There are degrees.

These two words are not easy.

Degrees, which can be length, width, or degree.

But what goes further is the limit.

There is a limit to a degree, and such a person will not force you into a corner, and will not let you be cornered.

Leave a way to live.
