Shu Chen

Chapter 12 Fatherly Style

Prime Minister's House, East Cao Office.

Jiang Wan, who was sitting upright on his knees, put the bamboo slip in his hand on the table, his eyes drooping, and he pinched his beard and thought.

After roughly reading the annotated version of "Thousand Characters", his curiosity doubled.

Because Qin Mi was looking for him just now, and after asking if he had expropriated the Zheng family son, he handed over the "Thousand Characters".When he said goodbye, he also gave a meaningful exhortation, "Gongyan should not order the son of the Zheng family. This son has a father-like style and is not a Confucian!"

Yes, Qin Mi has quite a relationship with the Zheng family, so let him not do it in vain.

It also reminded him again that when he was serving as Shifang Ling, he visited the Zhengjia Sangyuan.

At that time, Zheng Du was still alive, but on the grounds that he was "a humble man in the mountains and does not pollute Baili Hou's ears", he refused to visit him, and was unwilling to negotiate with him for a cup of tea.Today Qin Mi asserts that Zheng Pu has a father-like style, and he must be a stubborn person.Since there is no intention to respond to life, there is no room for manoeuvre.

However, adding "non-Confucian"?
In the nineteenth year of the year, he made a new character book that is rich in ancient and modern, but said "non-Confucian"?
Oh, interesting!

When he closed his eyes and thought less, Jiang Wan raised his hand slightly and just wanted to call out Shu Zuo.But thinking of something, he got up and walked out of the prime minister's mansion, and told the soldier on duty to go outside the city to find his second son Jiang Xian.

That kid, you are indulging in things!

Let's inquire about the date of Zheng Jiazi's coming to the capital outside his city, but he doesn't want Zheng Jiazi to enter the Qin Mansion, and he is still standing outside the city!

Really annoying!

About a quarter of an hour later, the called Jiang Xian and Pang Hong came together.

He also asked Jiang Wan, who wanted to give some excuses, that it was not easy for him to have a seizure, so he had to say with a slightly sullen expression, "Li Shuzuo will send the expedition documents to the Qin Mansion, you can go with me. Remember to carefully observe the words and deeds of the Zheng family, and report to me when you come back. Don't be in a trance any longer!"

"Father is saying that the Zheng family has already arrived in Chengdu?!"

When Jiang Xian heard the words, he immediately exclaimed, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

But his father ignored it, waved his sleeves, and walked into the prime minister's mansion with his back and continued to leave.

Only Jiang Xian scratched his temples and looked at Pang Hong, but smiled shyly.

And the elderly little official surnamed Li was also tactful, smiling at them and bowing his hands, "You two young masters, it's a long way to go to the Qin Mansion, and the walk down is slow. Please help yourself."

After speaking, he also slowly walked away.

It was only then that the two young men realized that they had been rushing all the way, and dust had already covered their faces and clothes, which was very indecent.

"Hey, today's business is over, I'm afraid I will be confined to the house!"

With a sigh, Jiang Xian shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Let's go, Master, I'll go find a place to cleanse my face first."

In this regard, Pang Hong shrugged and said that he could not help.

When they arrived at the Qin mansion, the two pretended to be the retinues of the state mansion and were welcomed into the house and met Zheng Pu.

As soon as I saw it, I felt that the Zheng family's son Qiyu was arrogant, and he was vaguely familiar.

On closer inspection, it was discovered that the current person was the one who was identified as a rude walker that day!

But today's Zheng Jiazi behaves quite differently.

I saw that he took the document from the little official, wrote the answer in one go, and then bowed his hands and resigned, without any hesitation.

The meeting time was short, but it was enough for Jiang Xian and Pang Hong to make preliminary comments and report back.

Appearance and graceful appearance, act informally, and treat people without being humble or arrogant?

Hearing the second son's reply, Jiang Wan recited it.

When looking at the documents, looking at Zheng Pu's reply, "Mengfujun loves wrongly, and I am sincere and fearful. However, Pu is a vulgar person in the mountains and wilds. He is lazy, has no perseverance in teaching, and hopes to forgive sins" and other evasive words in his heart. calculated.

Naturally, out of the mentality of a strict father, before he went to find Prime Minister Zhuge Liang to return to his duties, he was not surprised and ordered Jiang Xian to be banned from the house for a few days.

The office of the prime minister, Zhuge Liang, was very rudimentary.

There are two ledges and utensils, and the books and tablets in the collection are properly vertical and horizontal; in front of the main table, there are various lamps, lanterns, tablets, pen and ink inkstones, etc., and a bronze incense burner; Rely on, or use it to display the historical map.

There are no golden and jade tools, and no calligraphy and painting hanging in the air, which is just elegant and refreshing.

Occasionally the sun shines in through the mottled window curtains, and the mottled and white temples of the owner of the house, and the slight wrinkles between the eyebrows, reflect the light and shadow.

After being reported by a small official, Jiang Wan walked in slowly.

Before he could salute and report, Zhuge Liang beckoned to take the lead, "Gongyan is here just in time, I just have something to tell you."

"Wan has seen the Prime Minister."

After bowing first, Jiang Wan responded, "I don't know what the Prime Minister ordered? Please ask for instructions."

After he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye that someone was already there on the side of the office, so he nodded slightly sideways.

"Don't be polite, this is not official business."

Zhuge Liang said with a smile, "Gongyan, you have been working diligently since you took office in Dongcao. I have written to the court and will transfer you to join the army."

After a pause, he added, "Jun Yi shows his merits, don't make excuses."

Jiang Wan's expression was slightly stunned when he heard the words.

Then, with a relieved smile, he tried to ask, "Is the Prime Minister's move to deploy to South China?"

"Hahaha~~~"

A burst of clear laughter came from the mouth on the side of the office.

After laughing, he straightened his body again, and said in a playful voice, "I will say that Gongyan brother has always been smart and quick, and he will definitely know what the prime minister means, and sure enough!"

With such a presumptuous and frivolous manner, the prime minister Zhuge Liang, who has always been known for his strictness, did not scold him with a solemn face.On the other hand, his eyes widened, his head swayed slightly, and he scolded with a smile, "You are over thirty years old, and you are still not serious about evil?"

Well, this person is Ma Su, who is talented and likes military tactics.

Zhuge Liang is also a person who is deeply different.

Even if the late lord Liu Bei had a last word, he said, "Ma Su's words are too exaggerated and can't be used much, so you can check it out"; but Zhuge Liang thought otherwise, as soon as the mansion was opened, he promoted him to the prime minister's mansion to join the army, and often negotiated with him. Military strategy, reluctant to give up day and night.

See the weight of the letter, the limelight has no two.

After pretending to blame Ma Su, Zhuge Liang turned his head to look at Jiang Wan again, and explained softly, "Youchang has been patrolling soldiers and soldiers in various counties and stocks recently, saying that morale is available, grain and military resources are sufficient, and you can deal with the rebellion in Nanzhong. I moved to join the army because I wanted to use your magnanimity to be lenient.

After Jiang Wan heard this, he leaned over and bowed, with a loud voice on the ground, "Have the Prime Minister be highly regarded, how dare Wan not serve the evil?"

After the ceremony, he straightened up and grinned again, "Prime Minister, Wan is here because he has something to report. If it is not unexpected, it may be of benefit to the people of Anshu."

"Oh? What's the matter? Gongyan speaks quickly!"

Immediately, Zhuge Liang, who had been busy appeasing the wealthy clan in Shu, couldn't help but urge.

Even Ma Su next to him had a curious look on his face and listened with bated breath.

Jiang Wan did not delay, and first explained everything before and after the expedition of Zheng Pu.Then, the conversation changed, "Today, Xiaowei Qin told Wan, saying that the Zheng family has a father-like style and is not a Confucian! I thought to myself, and thought that Xiaowei Qin meant that the Zheng family had his father's ability to plan paintings! It's not that you don't want to be an official, it's that you don't want to be a scholar!"

Planning ability?

Zhuge Liang listened, his eyebrows furrowed, and he stroked his beard and thought.

But that Ma Su, but his eyes are already bright.
