Difficult for a son-in-law

Li Fang was wearing a crane cloak, standing on the deck, hunting in the sea breeze, half-closed his sharp hawk-like eyes, and locked his eyes on the fleet coming towards him from a distance.

The two giant ships approached each other. Ruan Hongfei was wearing a black knee-length fox fur with the same color hem exposed underneath. As soon as his cloud boots stepped on the deck, he jumped in front of Li Fang like a flying bird, and the rest of the attendants followed Ruan Hongfei boarded the ship behind him.

Li Fang laughed loudly, "I've been looking forward to my brother for so many days, and I just got together today." Taking a step forward, the two patted each other's shoulder blades, Li Fang had already held Ruan Hongfei's arm, and shouted affectionately in a loud voice , "Brother Du gave me the 30-year-old burning knife last time. I'm still not willing to drink it. Come on, come on, today is just a good time for us brothers to drink."

Ruan Hongfei went into the cabin with Li Fang in different expressions, and said with a smile, "It's obviously my daughter Hong for 50 years, brother Li is still so cautious."

"Brother Du's subordinates are capable people. I have suffered from you, bro. Naturally, I have to develop a memory." Li Fang laughed and let Ruan Hongfei into the room.

In winter, the sea is windy, but the cabin is as warm as spring. Not to mention that Li Fang is a rough man, he cleans up with a bit of a smell of books. There are calligraphy and paintings on the wall, antiques on the table, and a few pots in the corner of the room. Fresh flowers are so interesting.

Feeling hot, Ruan Hongfei casually unbuttoned the agate button on his neck, took off his cloak, threw it to the fluttering light beside him, and complimented him with a smile, "Brother Li is enjoying himself more and more, I can't match it."

"If other people say this, I will take it as a flattery. Brother Du said this, he is just laughing at me." Li Fang smiled, "The first time I went back to your place, brother, I didn't dare to see you in March when I was poor. In terms of land, I’m not as good as Brother Du, but I’ve spent most of my life here at sea, and I think I’m okay. Why can’t Brother Du live in the Dragon Palace and I live in the pigsty?” He said There was another burst of laughter, "When I came back, I immediately grabbed three or five scholar clerks from the shore. For no other reason, I asked them to help me clean up the house. If my brothers didn't praise my house, I would be ashamed Brother Du, please come here."

Ruan Hongfei and Li Fang sat facing each other, with a rosewood long table in the middle, and there was a cup of wine on the table. Li Fang raised his hand and poured two cups of wine, and handed one to Ruan Hongfei, "The one with shredded ginger boiled in it, go have a drink." Go to the cold."

Ruan Hongfei took the drink and said with a smile, "Brother Li is much more careful than before. I think the rumors are true."

Even though Li Fang, a middle-aged man, showed a bit of embarrassment on his dark skin, Ruan Hongfei asked with a smile, "It seems that it is inconvenient to ask my wife to come out and show me."

"It's nothing inconvenient. He's not used to living on a boat. His body is weak and he can be blown three miles in the wind. I didn't ask him to come." Li Fang said, "It's the same when we see you next time. How about it? I heard that Brother Du went ashore to make a fortune. Already, just speak up if you need me."

Ruan Hongfei leaned leisurely on the brocade mattress, with a half-smile, "The imperial court is about to build a navy and open sea bans, so there is no room for our brothers to make a fortune in the future. Don't talk about making a fortune, it is only a hundred and one places that can save our lives. If I don’t go ashore for a while, I won’t know about these things, and I’ll still be kept in the bones by those fucking beasts.” Seeing Li Fang’s face suddenly gloomy, but not surprised, Ruan Hongfei knew that he was determined. He also got the news, so he sneered and said, "This wealth, you have to have a life to spend it!"

"To tell you the truth, brother, I also vaguely heard this letter, but I don't know if it's true or not?"

"It's hard to say whether this is true or not. It's just that the imperial court transferred the Northwest Army to the south. Xu Tu of Haining was transferred away, and [-] Northwest troops were stationed in Haining." Ruan Hongfei wrote lightly, "I took a closer look. The army is tough, and its reputation is well-deserved!"

"That kid surnamed Xu is a thorn!" Li Fang touched a handful of peanuts and smacked them in his mouth, "However, it's a good thing he's gone! I know about the Northwest, the three thousand miles of wind and sand , the water smells like earthy fish in your mouth, no matter how powerful the Northwest Army is, can they be the opponents of you and my brothers at sea?"

Ruan Hongfei smiled, "Our brothers are joining forces at sea, not to mention [-] Northwest Army, even a fucking [-] Northwest Army is useless. But you have to think, bro, why do we do business with those beasts, a broken tea bowl They can charge two taels of silver from us! The Northwest Army can’t get into the water, but if they keep their walls and clear the fields and guard against them, we won’t be able to go ashore. So many brothers, what to eat and what to wear? For me, it’s better. The rich family has been rich, and the poor family If you’re poor, you’ll end up eating chaff and vegetables with the natives. Brother, your sea territory is bigger than mine, and you don’t have more islands behind me than me.”

"Hi, I'm also worried about this." Li Fang shook his head.

Ruan Hongfei poured two glasses of wine, and handed a glass to Li Fang, "Now our brother is a grasshopper on a vine, if someone tells Brother Li that you should cut off my head and submit a certificate of honor to the court, haha, that would be terrible." Just call me brother, I am sad!"

Li Fang slapped the wine cup on the table and said angrily, "Du Ruo, what do you mean by that!"

"Haha, I just want to say, brother, don't be as knowledgeable as me." Ruan Hongfei smiled differently on his face, and took a look at Li Fang, "Someone sent an envoy to tell me to cut off your brother's head." , Dedicated to the court to show loyalty, and then give me an official title, a basket of good words. I cut off the head of that brat and drank wine. Why, no one came to my brother's place?"

"There is such a thing?" Li Fang was suddenly surprised.

Ruan Hongfei touched him with Qingzhan, and the two confronted each other again. Ruan Hongfei smiled and said, "It's not that they only do business with my family, they sent real money and silver, but they withheld my goods. Let me wait! I don't know how to wait! Anyway, I can't see anything, so don't blame me for turning my face!"

Li Fang hesitated for a while, then asked, "Didn't Song Xiang tell you brother?"

"What did you say?" Ruan Hongfei folded his legs and sneered, "He told me to go ashore to grab something and run away, and pretend to be defeated by that Zheng!"

"It seems that brother has also received the letter." At this time, Li Fang wanted to hear Ruan Hongfei's meaning, "Brother, do you think we should go?"

"Go—" the beautiful Danfeng eyes flashed a little chill, Ruan Hongfei said coldly, "I'm afraid there will be no return!"

Li Fang patted his thigh, "I'm also worried about this!"

"Those bastards bastards, one is to get rich, and the other is to get promoted, but they dare to do anything." Ruan Hongfei stared at Li Fang and asked, "We have cooperated with Governor Song for several years, and we have fattened him up. It's also convenient for us, it's cheap for both of us. In the past, it's okay to make small troubles. If we go ashore this time, Zheng Zhen is an idiot, but there is still the Northwest Army. If Song Huai secretly called the Northwest Army to come, wouldn't it Just in time to catch a turtle!" Li Fang's complexion changed slightly, and Ruan Hongfei said coldly, "Jieshi lost his head, even if he wants to cry out, he won't be able to open his mouth!"

"Who says it's not?" Li Fang sighed, "What is Brother Du planning to do?"

"Take one step at a time. Anyway, I don't want to be a knife in other people's hands." Ruan Hongfei said, "It's a big deal to tear my face. Anyway, I don't wait to get promoted and get rich. I'm afraid that I won't be able to wear shoes if I'm barefoot!"

Li Fangdao, "But the goods over there..."

Ruan Hongfei's icy face suddenly burst into a smile that was sure to win, "Brother Li is confused, why don't we take this opportunity and get a life-saving talisman?"

Li Fang is also the leader of the party, and his brain is really not as good as Ruan Hongfei's.Otherwise, Ruan Hongfei can't be allowed to come from behind, Ruan Hongfei said softly, "We have always been with Song Xiang, he is a clean person, Governor Song! No one is cleaner than him! This time, he is the governor of the Governor's Mansion. A letter of correspondence stamped with the governor's seal! With this, we'll go ashore to fight him, without this, we won't serve him!"

Li Fang suddenly became enlightened, patted Ruan Hongfei on the shoulder, and laughed loudly, "Oh, my real brother, you are really my real brother!"

The two discussed many things in detail, Li Fang treated Ruan Hongfei to a big meal, and then politely sent him away.

"Brother, is your statement that the surname is Du true or false?" Meng Feng, Li Fang's military advisor, came out and asked.

Li Fang's eagle eyes narrowed, and a deep knife mark on his cheek showed a bit of murderous intent, "Hmph, whether it's true or not, one thing is true, we can't be a knife in someone's hand for nothing."

Ruan Hongfei's letter soon arrived in Ming Zhan's hands. Ming Zhan saw that the addressee on it was Feng Jingqian's name, and Ming Zhan felt slightly sour, so he didn't read it, and directly forwarded it to Feng Jinggan.

Seeing Ming Zhan's constipated face, Feng Jingqian snorted, "There must be something unpleasant to say." Tore off the paint seal, and before he could see the handwriting clearly, Ming Zhan stretched his neck and blocked Feng Jing's head. In front of Qian's chin, he exclaimed "Wow! Wow! Wow!" three times, then stopped talking, turned his head to look at Feng Jingqian, and stepped back to sit properly.

Feng Jingqian glanced over the ten lines, his face was so dark that water poured out, of course, he was not angry at Ruan Hongfei's words.If it was because of this, he would have died of anger eight hundred times.What he didn't expect was that Jiangnan would end up so corrupt!

No wonder the pirates have died down in the past few years. It turns out that the officials and bandits colluded and put on a show for him!

"How much of this monster's letter is true?" Feng Jingqian asked Ming Zhan, even if the emperor suddenly found out that the retainer he valued turned out to be a family thief, he subconsciously refused to believe it!What's more, Feng Jingqian was really worried about Ruan Hongfei, so he asked Ming Zhan.

How could Ming Zhan not know what Feng Jingqian meant, and whispered, "If you ask me, I will believe everything Feifei says."

Feng Jing scolded dryly, "No prospect." After pondering for a while, "How do you say to deal with it?"

"Strike while the iron is hot. For this sake, there is no longer any delay. Haining is Ma Wei's garrison. He is a guest from afar, so there will be no disagreements. First, the generals of Fuzhou and Hangzhou will be replaced, and then Song Huai will be escorted to the third division of the imperial capital for interrogation. Master Wang and the others went to the south of the Yangtze River, and Feifei was here, just to clean up the messy tents in Zhejiang and Fujian." Ming Zhan said in a low voice, "The treasury is not rich, is it?" Let's copy back a little bit, ah, Although mosquitoes are small, they are also meat.

Feng Jingqian was still worried about Ruan Hongfei, looked at Ming Zhan and said, "If you are not careful, half of the country will be given away!"

"Use the crown prince's seal to issue an order." Feng Jingqian felt that his face was not very good-looking, and Ming Zhan said, "I would not move to Jiangnan so quickly if I changed the second person. However, I think Feifei is trustworthy. Use my Seal, on the one hand let him realize my affection for him; on the other hand, it also leaves a retreat for the imperial court, killing two birds with one stone."

Feng Jingqian's expression was still not very good, and he asked Ming Zhan, "If he lied to you, have you thought about the consequences?"

"Well," Ming Zhan scratched his head and said, "Anyway, you and your father are still young, so I'm not very worried. In fact, I really want to go to Jiangnan to have a look."

Hearing Ming Zhan's words, Feng Jingqian made a decision in his heart, and said expressionlessly, "Then you go there."

"Really?" Ming Zhan widened his eyes in disbelief.

Feng Jing was angry, "Could it be that my eyes were darkened, and I handed over the great Jiangnan to that evildoer! You go and open your eyes wide, don't show your cowardice! What kind of heart! Don't let him fool you! A little My mistake, I can't spare you!"

Ming Zhan let out a weird gurgling laugh, and then rushed over to hug Feng Jing and rubbed against Feng Jing dryly, "Oh, dad, you are really my dear dad! That , I'm going to pack my things!"

Then, dancing and running away.

Feng Jingqian has never confirmed it like this now: his son is also a loser!Absolute loser!

Ming Zhan, who lost money, ran back as if he had won the first prize, packed his clothes and prepared to go to the south of the Yangtze River. Qingfeng Mingyue couldn't help worrying about the coldness on the road, and Ming Zhan couldn't bear it.

Ming Zhan smiled, "There's no need to tidy up, we're going to ride a horse, and it's enough to bring me a few replacement thick clothes."

"His Royal Highness often uses hand stoves and foot stoves, as well as some favorite foods, inside and outside clothes, shoes and socks, favorite books, used pens and ink utensils..." Qingfeng counted with Ming Zhan with his fingers, "This time, His Highness brought Which maids will serve you?"

"Riding a horse, you can't take girls with you, so you can stay in the palace." Ming Zhan waved his hand, "He Yu, ask Li Bing to come over."

Ming Zhan ordered Li Bing to arrange guards, Feng Jingqian also gave Ming Zhan [-] guards, plus a list, "See how many people are available? Get rid of the rest."

Ming Zhan looked at Feng Jingqian, a little worried.

Although Ming Zhan didn't speak, the worry in his eyes was real, Feng Jinggan's heart warmed up, and he touched his face, "I'm in the imperial capital, so there's nothing to worry about."

"That's right." Ming Zhan felt relieved, and added in his heart that when Feng Jinggan was in the palace, Wei Ning, whose family Feifei had been pretending for so long, didn't see a good opportunity to do it, "I'll go quietly, with the guard of honor behind me , and then the whole guard of honor goes to the northwest."

Feng Jing frowned dryly, "Sneaky. It will hurt your reputation."

"It's okay, it's okay." Ming Zhan said, "I'll go talk to the emperor's grandmother."

Feng Jingqian nodded in satisfaction.

Ming Zhan said to Queen Mother Wei in this way, "I went to the northwest to see that many ministers and soldiers were not able to come back to celebrate the New Year. To celebrate the New Year with them is also called having fun with the people."

In the past six months, Ming Zhan has been trying to please, and Queen Mother Wei is easy to please, so he is very reluctant, "Didn't there be an imperial envoy?" She heard the news from Princess An Yue, and she still remembered it.

Ming Zhan secretly whispered in Queen Mother Wei's ear for a while, and whispered, "Grandmother, you must keep it a secret. Only me, father, and you know about this matter."

Empress Dowager Wei was entrusted with an important task for the first time, and she immediately became energetic, and she no longer behaved like a woman who is inseparable. She nodded solemnly, "Don't worry. Aijia will never tell anyone. It's you, on the way Be careful."

Ming Zhan talked with the old lady for a while, and left the imperial capital quietly the next day.

Li Bing only served Ming Zhan in recent years. Of course, Ming Zhan is very smart, resourceful, and lucky.Others have reached the end of being a prince, and he alone can go one step further and become a prince.

There is no subordinate who does not expect the master to be promising, and Li Bing feels that he is right with the wrong master.

However, from Li Bing’s point of view, although Ming Zhan was very scheming, he was born rich and powerful, so it was surprising to abandon his car and ride a horse this time. It is resolved immediately.Such a desperate rush, even martial arts practitioners like them were a bit overwhelmed, Ming Zhan insisted on persevering.On the way, Li Bing and He Yu often persuaded Ming Zhan: Let's take it easy.

If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gets tired, they will all die.

Ming Zhan didn't care at all, the imperial capital was thousands of miles away from Hangzhou, and it took six days to arrive in Haining.

Ruan Hongfei just received a blank Minghuang imperial decree from the imperial capital, with the crown prince's golden seal underneath, and his heart moved slightly.Slowly caressing the fiery red seal with the fingertips, slowly let out a breath from the lung cavity.

Ming Xiaopang, Ming Xiaopang, if you treat me wholeheartedly, I will return my heartfelt love.

Ruan Hongfei didn't act immediately, he was still in the Haining camp, quietly waiting for the opportunity.

Ma Wei was training soldiers and horses outside, and heard the report from his own soldiers: Someone came to find Mr. Du.

Ma Wei knew Ruan Hongfei's identity, and was afraid that something would be leaked.Moreover, he was worried about the news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was not in the imperial capital for the New Year, would go to the Northwest to inspect the New Year. He was about to discuss with Ruan Hongfei.

Ho, acquaintance.

Although Ma Wei has never met Ming Zhan in person, but he saw Ming Zhan's portrait, he was immediately happy, stepped forward and patted Ming Zhan on the shoulder and smiled, "Little fat man, you are here!" Ming Zhan had been on the road for several days, tired It was so loud that his eyes turned black when he heard Ma Wei's exhalation, and was slapped by Ma Wei, almost hitting the ground.

Li Bing's face darkened, and he separated Ma Wei's hand, thinking, where did the stunned head come from.When the guards at the back heard Ma Wei addressing His Royal Highness, they all felt that their ears should be temporarily deaf.

"Haha, you don't know me. I'm your Uncle Ma. You sent, um, Mr. Du's paintings. I've seen them before." Ma Wei stayed in the Northwest for a long time, and stayed in the military camp all year round, not so much. rules and etiquette.His eyes swept over the guards behind Ming Zhan, well, they are all masters, and he confirmed that this little fat man must have a close relationship with Ruan Hongfei.Although Ruan Hong refused to admit it, Ma Wei still believed that the little fat man was his brother's son, otherwise, who would have assigned so many master guards to the little fat man.If it's not a son, his brother can never be as beautiful as the eyeball-like baby.With the score in his heart, Ma Wei waved his hand boldly, grabbed Ming Zhan's shoulders and put him in his arms, "Go, I will take you to see him. You subordinates should go and rest first, Lin Fuzi, take Ming Zhan with you." These brothers went to eat, and the horses were taken care of."

Li Bing and Chen Sheng were still following Ming Zhan, but they felt that Ma Wei's hand on His Royal Highness's shoulder was an eyesore!

Ruan Hongfei was also thinking about Ming Zhan's intention to go to the northwest, when he heard someone knock on the door, Ma Wei pushed it away and laughed loudly, "Mr. Du, the little fat man is looking for you. Fortunately, I have seen his paintings. "He thought it was the most comprehensive and appropriate, so he refused to reveal the relationship between the little fat man and his brother.

For the first time, Ming Zhan saw an unbelievable petrified expression on Ruan Hongfei's face, and couldn't help raising the corners of his lips with a bit of pride.Ming Zhan is just a middle-aged person, and he has traveled a long distance, and his face is tired, but this smile makes Ruan Hongfei feel that even if all the treasures in the world are placed in front of him, he will not change them.Ming Zhan ran over with a limp and took Ruan Hongfei's hand.

Ruan Hongfei opened his mouth, and felt the soft temperature in his hands. Fang came back to his senses and asked in a loud voice, "Why are you here? Didn't you go to the northwest? Why is your leg limping? Are you injured?"

Ming Zhan hugged Ruan Hongfei, put his head on his neck, smelled the faint fragrance of Ruan Hongfei's body, and rubbed it for a long time, almost rubbing the skin off Ruan Hongfei's neck, before he raised his face and said, "I'm dying of exhaustion. My ass hurts from riding a horse. Take a shower first."

"Well, let's go back to the general's mansion first, the house there is tight..." Ruan Hongfei seemed to still have a part of his mind in outer space, and his speech was not as sharp as before. Put a few pots of charcoal to warm the house and save it from freezing. Forget it, it’s really uninhabitable, go to my house.”

Ma Wei secretly said: What does it mean to be unstoppable?I'm not human?Or are you not human?Tsk, having a son is different!This is biased!He didn't know where Ruan Hongfei still had a house!

Sitting like this, Ming Zhan felt like his bones were falling apart, and his smile was tired, "Just go to the general's mansion, to your house, it will make people suspicious for no reason." It is certain that Ruan Hongfei has a private house in Haining, but he is just waiting Ming Zhan also didn't want to expose Ruan Hongfei's identity and cause trouble for Ruan Hongfei.

"There is a bed inside, let's sleep in it for a while. Let's go back early at night, and you can take a bath again, so you won't be out in the cold." Ruan Hongfei directly carried Ming Zhan to the inner room, and seeing Ma Wei coming in, Ruan Hongfei frowned , "It's none of your business, go out. Let Xiaoguang come in by the way."

Standing at the door, Ma Wei saw Ming Zhan rolling his eyes at him, and smiled, "Got it, well, tonight I asked someone to make good food for my nephew." He turned around and went out, Ma Wei is a martial artist , with sharp ears and eyes, I heard the faint voice of the little fat man in the room outside, "He is so stupid, is the [-] troops safe in his hands? Suddenly I am so worried."

Ma Wei vaguely felt something was wrong, but couldn't say it out, shook his head, and left.

Ming Zhan was so tired that he fell asleep as soon as he took off his clothes and touched the pillow.

Ruan Hongfei leaned his head on his side and watched Ming Zhan quietly, his face was haggard, his eyebrows were stretched, and there was a smile on his lips.Others don't know that Ruan Hongfei grew up watching Ming Zhan. He is a lazy person who can lie down and never sit, and can sit and never stand.
