The devil is coming

Chapter 428
"Uncle~~~"
What is a natural beauty? Uncle Zheng finally saw it this time. Compared with the woman in front of him, the Twelve Beauties holding a poetry meeting in the pavilion outside were like a group of junior high school students.
Zheng Fan felt that he was a person with strong self-control, but at this moment, he could no longer control himself.
Si Niang is not here anymore.
Meat brought to one's mouth for free,
Not taking a bite may betray Fan Zhengwen's kindness to him, and may also affect his cooperation with the Fan family and the subsequent success or failure of Princess Jie, which will affect the Yan-Chu War, and then affect the overall situation of the East, and ultimately affect the overall situation of the East. The pattern of the entire world.
Liu Ruqing didn't know why she was so afraid of the man in front of her.
When his eyes fell on him,
I will instinctively feel a kind of fear,
It was as if a wild beast had put its fangs on his shoulders, making him unable to control himself.
This is actually a very normal thing. Although the Fan family is a slave of the Qu family, the Qu family is one of the top nobles in Chu. Otherwise, they would not have the status of Zhuguo. Therefore, the Fan family, regardless of official status, His "political status" is not high in society, but among the secular world, he is already a very famous and noble family.
Living in the Fan Mansion, Liu Ruqing usually only interacted with the girls in the manor. How could he have the chance to see the real Qiu Ba, let alone Uncle Zheng, a decorated military general who had truly emerged from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood? .
"What does Miss Liu want from me?"
"Yes... as you were ordered by my grandmother, you came to ask your uncle for diagnosis and treatment."
"Oh, okay, let me check your pulse first."
"No, no, no, uncle, Ruqing is here to ask uncle to diagnose and treat the old grandmother."
"Ok?"
Come to think of it,
Fan Zhengwen arranged an identity for himself in the mansion. He was a doctor, or a famous doctor.
Moreover, Zheng Fan still doesn't know who called Liu Ruqing this way. It seems that if he is the same generation as Fan Zhengwen, Liu Ruqing can call him uncle, and if he is a generation higher than Fan Zhengwen, he can also call him uncle. uncle.
But, no matter what, it sounds nice to hear Liu Ruqing call him uncle anyway.
If possible, before going to bed every night, let Liu Ruqing stand beside her bed and call her uncle dozens of times. The feeling will definitely penetrate into her bones.
But who is the old grandmother of the Fan family?
Is she Fan Zhengwen’s mother?It seems to be the grandma generation.
Take care of what you have come. After one day of moving in, Zheng Fan is quite satisfied with Fan Zhengwen's arrangement. There is no greasy meal stacked in front of you to share the wine with you. Instead, there are small dishes, large dishes, cold dishes and hot dishes displayed there. Take whatever you like.
"Then please ask Miss Liu to lead the way."
"Uncle, please come with me."
"it is good."
Zheng Fan followed Liu Ruqing out of the house and saw Zheng Fan coming out. All the beauties in the pavilion outside stood up and saluted Zheng Fan.
Zheng Fan waved his hands to them. After all, he had never had any specific interactions with them. Previously, he had only watched them through the window as they prepared food.
Fan's Mansion is very big, but if you are not a servant but a guest, you won't feel that the size of Fan's Mansion is tiring. There are scenery everywhere, even in winter, it can still be dizzying.
The courtyard where the old grandmother of the Fan family lived was about the same size as Qingfangzhai, but it was winter now, and as soon as she walked into her courtyard, she could immediately feel the heat wave.
At the same time, the yard is full of flowers. Where is the midwinter scene?
An old woman was sitting on the steps. Looking around, there was no servant in sight;
The old woman held a small shovel in her left hand and soil in her right hand. Apparently, she was picking up flowers and plants just now.
Don't think it's hard for her,
Because at this time of year, I don’t know how many old people are huddled in the corner, shivering in tattered cotton wool that is not very warm. Even they themselves don’t know whether they can survive this winter;
At this time, being able to wear only a coat and go to the ground to pick up flowers and do small jobs is already an extremely rare luxury.
"Grandma, my grandson's wife has brought uncle here."
Granddaughter-in-law?
It seems that she is really a grandma.
The woman in front of her is Fan Zhengwen's grandmother, because Liu Ruqing is the wife of Fan Zhengwen's younger brother.
"Okay, my wife, please go down and tell the kitchen to prepare some mung bean soup, but it's too hot for me, old man."
"Yes, grandmother."
Liu Ruqing went down, leaving behind waves of fragrant wind as she passed by Zheng Fan.
Not greasy, and satisfies cravings.
The old woman looked at Zheng Fan and cursed angrily:
"You're still an uncle. Have you never seen a woman?"
Zheng Fan smiled without any embarrassment. In an instant, he entered his own state and said:
"No, I have never seen such a beauty."
"I don't like the word beauty, old woman. It always sounds like treating women as playthings."
"Yes." Zheng Fan nodded.
"Sit down, uncle, there are melons there, pick them and eat them yourself."
"it is good."
Zheng Fan sat down and reached out to pick a cantaloupe. There was no need to wash it, since the skin was not eaten anyway. He could just peel it open and eat the fruit inside.
The juice is sweet, fragrant and delicious.
The old woman put the small shovel in her hand against the steps, looked at Zheng Fan, and said:
"Old lady, how do you feel about my little courtyard?"
"It's grand and elegant." Zheng Fan wiped his mouth and replied, "The last time I entered a place like this was in the palace of Emperor Qian."
Qianhuang also has a greenhouse, which is extremely warm in winter.
Of course, if you want to create this "paradise" in winter, the cost must be huge.
No one found it strange that Emperor Qian could afford it, and that Fan Mansion could also enjoy it. It is inevitable that people would think of the words "wealth can rival the country".
The old woman smiled "haha" and said: "After living for so many years, I have grown up now. I can be put together with the official of Qianguo."
Zheng Fan had told A Ming before that he guessed that someone in the house wanted to see him, and the attitude was visible but invisible. He thought it was the old grandmother of the Fan family.
The old woman pointed around and said:
"Look, it's a warm effort, but the real effort below is actually all money. In this world, the only thing that can really make people feel warm is money."
"What the old lady said makes sense."
"Oh? Does your uncle think so too?"
“It’s the most painful time when money is grinding against your hand.”
"That's not true, haha, by the way, when the child Ruqing called me uncle, how did uncle feel?"
They have been foxes for thousands of years, so there is no need to argue with "Liao Zhai".
Uncle Zheng could tell that the old woman was unusual, so he was very free and easy when dealing with her.
"It's really numbing to the very core."
"Hehehehe." The old woman laughed, reached out and grabbed a handful of mud, and threw it at Zheng Fan. Of course, it was just for show, and she laughed and cursed: "You are all uncles, how can you do this to your niece?" No shame or shame."
"Don't say that my uncle is just an inexplicable person. Even if he is a real uncle, what does it matter? They say that in a wealthy family, there are as many scandals as there is gold and silver."
"It seems that Uncle Zheng only knows one thing but not the other."
"Oh? I'd like to hear about it."
"Nowadays, the Fan family seems to be luxurious, but it is all fried by the fierce fire. As the slaves of the Qu family, it stands to reason that the majority of the harvest should be given to the Qu family. Even on my own side, I can't make it on the books. The ones intercepted are really not that many.
Today's great wealth is due to the Qu family using the Fan family as a starting point to build a brand to attract people's hearts.
If it weren't for the fact that the Fan family still had some private business, the Fan family at this time would be nothing more than a pink-faced skeleton. "
What the old woman meant was that it was the Qu family that made the Fan family look so wealthy, and that was the card;
If the emperor wants to win people's hearts, he needs to treat his ministers and generals who are loyal to him favorably. The same goes for great nobles like Qu.
However, in order to restrain the Fan family from becoming powerful, the situation eventually emerged where the slaves bullied the masters, so the Fan family was forced to be rich and wealthy. In addition to the prescribed silver handed over to the Qu family every year, the remaining money of the Fan family had to be squandered.
It makes you look prosperous, but in fact you are just a puffy empty frame.
This should be the check and balance policy that Qu had set up a long time ago, but there are policies above and countermeasures below. Now the Fan family has finally risen, and the details hidden underneath are enough to surprise Qu.
The old woman threw the small shovel in her hand into the flower bed in front of her.
Road:
"In the final analysis, if the Chu State is not destroyed, my Fan family will never be able to prosper. Rich people have been rich for a long time. Some people will get rich diseases. For some people, they are not sick, but they are more incurable than those who are sick. save;
Because he actually thought, why should I bow down in front of you, why should I have to be your slave and maid from generation to generation?
Alas, to put it bluntly, it is all caused by overeating. "
Zheng Fan nodded after hearing these words.
"Uncle, do you think so too?"
"That's how people's hearts are."
"Yes, that's how I feel. Zhengwen has already told me everything. Whatever my uncle wants to do, the Fan family will help him to the end.
To speak heartfeltly,
Even if all the current Fan family were to pay for it, it would not be a pity. As long as one or two direct descendants of the Fan family could survive, well, there would also be side branches.
In the end, with the care and support of Uncle Uncle and His Highness Sixth Prince, it will not be difficult to build a Fan family again. At that time, at least you can be an upright person, right? "
"You think so clearly."
"Transparent? Haha, that's all. Zhengwen's parents have left long ago, but I am still alive at a great age. To say that I live a transparent life is a lie, because I myself In fact, I don’t want to die either.
Utensils get tired after being used for a long time, and they always want to slow down the taste, but people are not like this. Generally speaking, the longer people live, the more afraid they are of death.
Uncle, don't blame me for nagging. In fact, I didn't expect you to come to Fan Mansion. After all, you have a distinguished status. According to your ability, you have a thousand soldiers under your command. What is really going to happen? Come on, if you go to the Qishan Mountain in Mengshan, who can pat your chest and say that they can control you?
But uncle, you are here after all. Now that you are here, old lady, I have to come to see you and talk to you. Regardless of whether these words are useful or not, we have to show some attitude. "
"Yes."
"Uncle, do you believe in the art of metaphysics?"
Zheng Fan smiled, shook his head and said:
"Not very convinced."
The old woman nodded and said: "Actually, I don't really believe in you, old lady, but it's a coincidence that I haven't believed in fate since I was a child, and yet I was said to have a mysterious physique. I was obviously doing divination when I was playing around, but it happened in the end. Everything can be done.
When he was young, his grandfather performed a divination on the text, and the divination said that this man would make his wife prosperous. "
"And Wang Wife?"
"If you have a prosperous husband, you will naturally have a prosperous wife. It's just that most men in the world regard women as foils, so they don't really take them to heart.
At that time, I thought, that's okay, marry him, at least I can be safe and smooth in this life.
As long as a person lives, who can pat his chest and guarantee that he will be smooth and steady for the next sixty years and that nothing bad will happen to him? "
"No."
"So, let's get married. At first, Zhengwen's grandfather didn't like me. I was just a little nun at the time. Although I thought I was not bad looking, Grandpa Zhengwen already had a well-matched lady.
As for me, I cast a curse. The first time I cast this thing, the lady died suddenly. "
The old woman recalled the happy life of her youth with a peaceful look on her face;
"Then what happens next?"
"How can it be possible? The Fan family was also very popular in the beginning, and the Qu family's slave family seems aggrieved now. Back then, it was a first-class brilliance.
After two more deaths, Zhengwen's grandfather couldn't bear it anymore;
The first one can be said to be unlucky, the second one can only be said to be unlucky, and the third one can be said to be a fool's fault.
He came to Taoist Temple to seek peace of mind. At that time, he was thinking about becoming a monk, but how could he? So he was drugged by me and slept with me. "
"Oh?"
"Two months later, I was pregnant with Zhengwen's father."
"Yo?"
"In another month, Zhengwen's grandfather returned home and secretly married me into the Fan Mansion. Marrying a nun and getting pregnant before we were ultimately disgraceful, so we didn't do it without any fuss.
But who said I had a good life? I had a husband who was very happy with his wife. Not long after I got married, my mother-in-law left. That mother-in-law didn't like me very much at first, and she always wanted to set rules with me. "
"what?"
"Come on, I didn't curse my mother-in-law. Am I that kind of person? She left on her own. The first child was born to Zhengwen's father, and the eldest son had an offspring. The status was decided like this.
For the next few years, I lived my own life smoothly.
Until today. "
"envious."
"Yes, in this life, some people want to see strong winds and waves, but I just like to go smoothly and comfortably."
"Yes."
"But guess what, my uncle came into the house yesterday, and I made another fortune-telling on a whim."
"What hexagram?"
"I can't understand." The old woman shook her head.
"For whom?"
"Of course it's for the Fan family."
"Doctors don't heal themselves."
"But I always have something in my mind."
"Too."
"In the hexagram, the future of the Fan family is uncertain, and there is a vague risk of overthrow."
Hear this,
Zheng Fan narrowed his eyes.
laughed:
"What do you mean by that?"
The meaning of the old woman's words was obvious.
"Guess what I did next? I got excited again and made another prediction for myself. You know, I haven't made another prediction for myself since I married Zhengwen's grandfather."
"What do you say about this hexagram?"
The smile on the old woman's face gradually faded,
finally,
turned into a despairing calm,
Word by word:
"Old age is ominous."
Zheng Fan took a breath, nodded, and said:
"This is amazing."
"Actually, I don't believe in fate." The old woman said.
"You have to keep this tradition well."
"But my hexagram has allowed me to live a smooth and stable life for more than a decade."
"Then what do you mean?"
"People just can't eat too much. If they eat too much, they will easily get lost in their thoughts."
"You said this before."
"The text is just too full."
"It's a blessing."
"No, it's not luck. Uncle, you said you don't believe in fate."
"Yes, I don't believe it. Didn't Master Zang go to Yanjing to cut the dragon's veins back then? But it's not like you can't see what Dayan is like now."
"Because some people have a tough life. Your Majesty, Emperor Yan, is that kind of person. Others cannot change the life of such a person. They cannot change it. In fact, he can affect the life of anyone who comes into contact with him.
Uncle, you actually have the same fate. "
"I?"
"Because since you came to Chu, my life and the Fan family's life have been changed."
"Blame me?"
"Yes."
"Speak some sense."
"I am a woman."
"But you are old."
"Is it possible that only young women are qualified to be unreasonable?"
"That's not."
The old woman nodded and suddenly smiled: "Uncle, are you scared?"
"It's a little bit."
"You lied to me, old lady. My uncle has seen great battles. How could he be afraid of an old lady like me?"
Everyone in the world knows that Xuan Xiu is good at playing tricks on gods and ghosts, but people also know that we can’t succeed in a fight. "
"This is Fan Mansion after all." Zheng Fan pointed at his feet.
"Uncle is right, this is the Fan Mansion after all."
The old woman slowly closed her eyes,
Road:
"Old lady, I'm tired. I'd like to ask my uncle to go find Ruqing later and tell me that it was me who asked you to help regulate her blood and energy. This girl has a hard life and it's my grandson who is so lucky that he can't bear her. "
Uncle Zheng rubbed his hands in embarrassment.
Road:
"What's the point of that?"
"Old lady, I just told you that you have a tough life and can bear it."
"Ugh."
Uncle Zheng sighed,
Road:
"Well, if I don't go to hell, who will?"
Uncle Zheng stood up.
Out of the windy and rustling atmosphere, Yi Shuihan,
Walked out of the small courtyard.
At the entrance of the courtyard, Uncle Zheng stopped slightly, stretched, and then continued to move forward.
for a while,
A group of dead guards armed with sharp blades and dressed in black came out of the garden in the small courtyard. These were bred by the Fan family and were extremely loyal.
Fan Zhengwen also walked to the entrance of the small courtyard, looked around, waved his hand, and the dead soldiers retreated.
immediately,
Fan Zhengwen walked into the small courtyard.
The old woman is still sitting on that step,
Open your eyes slightly,
He glanced at his eldest grandson,
Road:
"There is a legend in the world that when the Marquis of Jingnan committed suicide and destroyed his whole family, he personally invited his old uncle to die;
what's the matter,
Do you want to learn from him? "
Fan Zhengwen said: "My heart is longing for it."
"Are you worthy of Wada Wujing?"
"My grandson is not worthy."
"Haha, I still have some idea. Let me ask you, what would you have done if I had taken action against Uncle Hirano before?"
Fan Zhengwen raised his hand and said slowly:
"Help grandma answer the hexagrams and prove that grandma has all the plans."
It directly makes you unlucky today and in your later years.
"Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe"
Fan Zhengwen stood there without speaking.
The old woman took a deep breath,
Slowly said:
"As a dog, the whole family can live well. What's wrong with that?"
Fan Zhengwen reached out and touched his chest.
replied:
"But my grandson is already full."
