life in a hurry

Along the way from north to south, the scenery along the way is gradually different, and the terrain is much more undulating.The emperor felt that it was very fresh, and couldn't help but ask people to open the window to see the scenery on both sides of the river: "Don't be bored all the time, open the window and blow some air."

While opening the window, the eunuch smiled and said: "The wind is strong and cold on the water, afraid of hurting the body of the dragon, we can only open it for a short while, the emperor will punish the slaves and maidservants even if they admit it."

The emperor didn't answer these words, and concentrated on watching the scene outside.

Originally planned to go by land, but Bai Qiancao refused to kill him, saying that the land road was bumpy, and the emperor ignored him, insisting on walking for a while, only to realize that what he said was not an exaggeration, the land road was indeed bumpy, so he changed to the water road.

What the Empress Dowager said was also true, the emperor was really strong by nature and did not want to be left behind, so he was not inferior to Chen Feiqing in cavalry and archery, but now he couldn't even be Bai Qiancao, it was a bit sad.

He would inevitably imagine once again that if there were no events of the past, he must be taller and more energetic than Chen Feiqing now.

However, such a gloomy mood was quickly dispelled by the unseen scene outside the window.

In the month Fu Nansheng first came to Jiangnan, he really almost turned the world over.

The Empress Dowager's younger brother had previously obtained the Empress Dowager's secret order, gritted his teeth and fought with Yao Yi and others for a long time, and then suppressed these people, not daring to act rashly against Fu Nansheng.

Then Yao Yi couldn't help complaining in private—what was Fu Nansheng's background, and now he was slapping himself in the face all day long, even if he survived this period, he would have no face in the future.

The younger brother of the queen mother said with a dark face: "You still care about Fu Nansheng, the emperor will arrive soon, think about it, this is the day that you really have to endure. I'll tell you, don't mess around, let the emperor come and have a good time If we return to Beijing, we will get through this difficulty. Fu Nansheng will definitely return to Beijing with the emperor, he cannot stay in the south of the Yangtze River all his life, and there is no such precedent."

Yao Yi was still a little bit aggrieved.

The day before yesterday, Fu Nansheng made excuses to beat up his wife and nephew more than a dozen times. Fu Jia, a few of his confidants, was also tortured by Fu Nansheng enough to go to his house every day to chatter.

If Fu Nansheng is the same as that Qin Zhengwen, then Yao Yi will be fine. After all, Qin Zhengwen is an idiot who is stupid in reading and reading. His head is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and Yao Yi can still comfort himself.However, Fu Nansheng is something, regardless of his background, his behavior is no better than other people, he is domineering and greedy everywhere.

Yao Yi said: "Uncle, Fu Nansheng really went too far this time. He is more greedy than us, that's all, he knows what he wants for money, and he doesn't feel guilty when he takes the money but doesn't do anything? He really deserves it." It came out of a brothel, and looks exactly like those whores."

His uncle was so annoyed: "Then why don't you give it to him? You have to give it yourself."

"I dare not refuse, but my wife and nephew did not. They were beaten to pieces and are still lying on the bed." Yao Yi said, "I thought he was here to investigate us, but now I suspect that he is purely here to make money. .”

His uncle frowned: "If that's the case, the emperor shouldn't have sent him on a southern tour. But I still don't quite understand..."

Just as he was talking, the concierge came to report: "Master, Mr. Fu is outside the residence, and he said he has something important to discuss with the master."

"Again?" Yao Yi patted his forehead, "Ask him to go to the front hall and serve good tea. By the way, tell Master Biao to come back quickly!"

After all, his uncle couldn't see it: "Usually you speak so majesticly, what's the matter..."

Yao Yi smiled bitterly and said: "Uncle, as the saying goes, those who are arrogant are afraid of being shameless. Your nephew also thought about it, that is, those who are unwilling to die are afraid of being shameless. Fu Nansheng is really even more shameless than Xuanying. Judging from the two of them, they may not be sure that they are really father and son, and they are so young and blue!"

When Yao Yi arrived at the front hall, he saw Fu Nansheng holding a vase in the hall and looking at it from a distance.

Look, look, it's worthless anyway.Yao Yi's heart is very delicate.They had imagined it thousands of times, and even before the imperial envoys came, they hid all the valuables on the scene, but they didn't expect that what they were preventing was not being investigated, but being robbed by people.

Even so, it was impossible to prevent it. Fu Nansheng was here for a month, and he robbed them faster than they did in a year.

"Master Fu! I'm sorry, sorry. I thought Master Fu was out of the city for the past two days, but I didn't expect to come here suddenly. He deserves to die if he misses the distance." Yao Yi cupped his hands as he walked, very polite.

Fu Nansheng put down the vase and smiled. He didn't have the arrogance that Yao Yi said earlier, but he was also very polite: "Where, I came in a hurry, and I'm afraid it will delay Master Yao's affairs."

Yao Yi asked him to take a seat and said: "Your Majesty Fu, don't be polite to me, I don't know if you are here this time..."

Fu Nansheng said: "I received the news that the emperor will arrive in about three to five days, so hurry up and Master Yao to urge the palace."

Yao Yi said embarrassingly: "Of course I don't dare to be negligent, but such a tight construction period is indeed embarrassing for the people below, and I am even more afraid that they will only rush to work and mess around elsewhere if something happens to disturb Shengjia No one can afford it. However, as I said before, if the palace is not completed in time, the emperor will be invited to stay at Xiujian Villa first. Mr. Fu, to be honest, Xiujian Villa is really more comfortable than our palace. The owner of the villa is the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, he is really rich, I am fortunate to be a guest, and the servants inside are like the young masters and ladies outside."

Fu Nansheng said: "Other people's villas are naturally not as comfortable as our own. I'm afraid the emperor will live in a tight place."

"That's not right," Yao Yi said seriously, "Is it true that the king's land in the whole world, no matter how rich he is, his life belongs to the emperor, let alone a mountain villa, it also belongs to the emperor."

Fu Nansheng smiled: "I can't say enough about Mr. Yao. Then let's talk about another thing. How about Xiu Nu?"

Yao Yi became more serious, looked left and right, moved closer, and whispered: "Master Fu, I have to talk to you about this too. Of course we have to choose some attendants, but the emperor is a wise and holy master. If we arouse public resentment, I am afraid that Long Yan will be furious."

Fu Nansheng's expression became vaguely displeased.

This was another reason why Yao Yi looked down on Fu Nansheng.

Although Yao Yi himself is also greedy for money, sex and alcohol, he didn't do it after all. After Fu Nansheng came to Jiangnan, he used the emperor's banner everywhere to pretend to be a tiger, not only to collect money for himself, but also to think of ways to "collect money" for the emperor. "——After the news of the emperor going south, Fu Nansheng immediately found Yao Yi, saying that he would build a palace for the emperor to pick him up, and he would wantonly choose Jiangnan beautiful girls for the emperor from the people.

Yao Yi couldn't recover at that time.

The facts were completely different from what he thought, and Fu Nansheng was also completely different from what he thought. No matter how you look at it... no matter how you look at it, he looks like a flattery and sycophant purely for money.This is really not Yao Yi's nonsense. Fu Nansheng really puts on that villain's demeanor so well that people can't help but believe it.

Yao Yi originally hoped to see some clues from Chen Feiqing. After all, with the disaster relief work ahead, Chen Feiqing still had some righteousness in Yao Yi's heart.But before Chen Feiqing and Fu Nansheng set off from the capital, they quarreled upside down, and they continued to quarrel all the way to the south of the Yangtze River.

Yao Yi really couldn't understand these broken sleeves.Of course, he also suspected that these were all made-up scenes, so he was very wary of Fu Nansheng.Especially when Fu Nansheng asked him to carry out large-scale construction projects and search for folk women, he became more cautious.No matter how Fu Nansheng's abacus was played, he played it too carefully, and the chance of making the emperor happy is too small, and once Long Yan was furious, Fu Nansheng would not be the one to blame, which aroused public resentment, and the people scolded It can only be Yao Yi.

Yao Yi hated Fu Nansheng even more, and felt that this person was not only greedy, but also vicious.

But still have to keep smiling.

Fu Nansheng suppressed his smile, and said lightly: "After all, the imperial envoy is just a vain job, and Master Yao is still in charge of Jiangnan..."

Yao Yi hurriedly said: "I can't say it, I can't say it."

Fu Nansheng waved his hand and continued: "In this case, I don't make it difficult for Master Yao. I will think of a way. Originally, I also thought that the emperor would come to Jiangnan once in a while to make him live more comfortably. It can be seen that Master Yao and officials of all sizes are like this. Integrity, it seems that I am wrong."

Yao Yi smiled, and just about to defend himself, he heard his cousin's voice from outside: "Master Fu, Master Yao."

Yao Yi hurriedly said: "There is no outsider here, and the name is so unfamiliar."

His nephew said stiffly: "We still have to follow the rules."

If it wasn't for accidentally discovering that Fu Nansheng seemed to be so interesting, Yao Yi wouldn't even want to talk to this cousin.

This is a poor relative who can only reach eight poles. He is also stupid in reading. Qin Zhengwen can take the number one exam at least, but this cousin is useless. He failed the provincial examination three times. Father and mother led the door to beg grandpa to pay homage to grandma, at least they hung up in Yao Yi's mansion to be a bookkeeper, and they couldn't manage the account all day long, they didn't know what he was living for.However, he is still tall and thick, and his appearance is not good, and his name is also very casual, called Zhang Dashu.

Yao Yi was busy with the imperial envoy, and wanted to drive away the big tree afterwards, but found that Fu Nansheng actually started talking with Zhang Dashu in the backyard behind his back in the middle of the banquet.At first, he thought that Fu Nansheng wanted to talk, but there was nothing to worry about, because Zhang Dashu was too stupid, he didn't know anything, and there was nothing to talk about.However, seeing that something was wrong, because Fu Nansheng started to use his hands while talking, grabbed Zhang Dashu's sleeve, and pinched the arm arched by the firm flesh——Yao Yi really detested this nephew, so he complained at that time As strong as this cousin's body is, his mind is as empty.

As for Fu Nansheng's expression at that time, Yao Yi felt that it was hard to say, especially hard to say.

——Fu Nansheng drank a lot of wine, and Yao Yi couldn't tell if it was his own prejudice. In short, he saw Fu Nansheng's face was full of spring, and he stared at Zhang Dashu very deliberately.At that time, Yao Yi was even a little afraid that the two of them would mess up in their backyard, after all, the young master was still sitting in the front hall.Yao Yi really wanted to see the jokes between Chen Feiqing and Fu Nansheng, but he didn't want to get his own family involved and be laughed at together.

Fortunately, Fu Nansheng was not too drunk, so he went back to the banquet to continue drinking after a while.Yao Yi continued to eat and drink with him without compromising, as if the entanglement had never happened before.
