Chapter 62

"Fan'er, since ancient times, gentlemen cook far away, how can you come in this back kitchen, go out quickly!" Hong Funu, who was watching the cooks and servants preparing delicious food for her nephew in the back kitchen, said to Bai Fan .

"It doesn't matter, aunt, my son has learned good cooking skills from his mentor since he was a child, and today he recognizes his aunt, so he should cook a delicious meal himself to honor his aunt!"

How shrewd is Hong Funu, "Did that old guy bully you in front? He is so brave, dare to reprimand even my nephew? Wait for aunt to vent your anger on you!"

Bai Fan quickly stopped it!

"No, my uncle just saw that I was weak and bookish, so he asked me to learn martial arts with him every day. It was for my own good, and he didn't reprimand me. I came here to cook for my aunt!"

When Hong Fu Nu heard it, she didn't suspect him, she nodded and said, "Your uncle too, it's outrageous to urge you to practice martial arts as soon as you get home, since Fan'er doesn't want to learn, let's not learn!"

Bai Fan was overjoyed, she was still his aunt!It seems that it is cool to have a good person as a backer!
But what Hong Funu said next made his jaw drop!
"It's not that my aunt underestimated him, but he still teaches people how to practice martial arts? Fan'er doesn't need to learn from him. From tomorrow on, my aunt will give you everything she has learned, and guarantee that you will become the number one martial arts expert in the future!"

Bai Fan: Aunt, I didn't mean that...

Of course, Bai Fan could only say this in his heart, facing a character like Hong Fu Nu, he didn't even have the courage to refute!

From then on, Bai Fan was arranged to live in Li Jing's house. After all, he didn't have a house in Chang'an, and it was impossible for Li Jing and his wife to let him live in the head of the beggar gang. Nothing is allowed to live.

Although Bai Fan explained that he was sealed by his master for his martial arts cultivation, it is fine to not practice martial arts now, and he will naturally have kung fu when his cultivation is unsealed. After getting the excuse of Taoism, he finally passed the first level of martial arts training, but he still needs to get up early every day to exercise with Li Jing.

Three days later, the court meeting will begin, and Bai Fan, who has received an edict from the palace, will also enter the palace to attend court today!

Bai Fan, who had been waiting outside the Taiji Hall for a long time, was finally announced into the palace. He first walked all the way to observe the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and then stood still and saluted Li Yuan, "The grassroots Bai Fan pays homage to His Majesty!"

The ethos of the Tang Dynasty is relatively civilized. Generally, there is no need to kowtow to salute the ancestors, or special ceremonies, and there are no exaggerated practices such as shouting long live three times. Bai Fan thinks this is very good!
Li Yuan looked at the heroic young man below, nodded and smiled, "I've heard that there was a magical young man in Tang Dynasty. He earned a lot of money from seeking talents, and he also wrote the treasured book "Three Character Classic" and created the white style of calligraphy. Words, I finally got to meet the real person today, I have been looking forward to you for a long time!"

"Being favored by the sage, Bai Fan is terrified, but I don't know why the sage summoned the grassroots today?"

The two of them knew each other well, everyone was just acting, and Li Shimin had already gotten along with Li Yuan. Today's lawsuit is not the point, the point is to figure out how to get money and food!
"Oh, today it's because of the case you filed three months ago. The Qinghe Cui family has a debt note from you. At the beginning, there was a lot of trouble in Chang'an. At the beginning, it was said that after you came back, the sentence would be made. , today coincides with the Qinghe Cui family's elder Cui Junchuo coming here to deal with this matter in person, how about it, do you have an explanation?"

Bai Fan asked loudly, "May I ask who is Mr. Cui Junchuo? What are you suing the boy for? The boy has been away for a long time, and he still needs to know the inside story here!"

A white-haired old man standing next to Cui Junsu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, came out and replied, "This old man is Cui Junchuo. This time, this old man is here to honor the debt you made to my grandson Cui Jian that day. This is the IOU you wrote back then." , You claim that if you don’t give Cui Jian the secret cooking recipe, you promise to compensate the Cui family with all the family property, I wonder if you agree with this?”

Bai Fan smiled, "Oh? So that means, the boss came to collect my debts today? I don't know how much money you want from Bai Fan, but you must know that Bai Fan is just a grass-roots man with three cottages at home. It’s no longer suitable for living, and now I’m staying at a relative’s house! I think, according to Cui’s family business, it’s not enough to look at Shangfan’s three dilapidated houses!”

Cui Junchuo saw that Bai Fan was deliberately messing around, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes, and he smiled slightly, "Who doesn't know that the King of Qin bought you Bai Fan for [-] yuan? Who will believe you if you say you have no money? Today, the old man will follow the agreement, It’s hard to calculate other properties, so let’s count your [-]. My Cui family doesn’t care about other corners. Of course, money is not the purpose, what is important is the reputation represented by the contract. Since you We have made an agreement, we must act according to the agreement!"

Bai Fan laughed loudly and said, "Old man, are you confused or am I? Didn't you just come here to steal my property? Or in front of the saint above the hall? You are really arrogant, aristocratic family I really admire Han's style! Domineering! Invincible!
Now that I’ve torn my face, I’ll just say it straight, what you’re telling me is nothing. That day your grandson Cui Jian came to my house to snatch the secret cooking recipe from me. After I refused, he beat up our teacher. The five gangsters threatened me to make this contract. How dare you ask me to collect debts for such a shameless thing?
Your grandson has already committed suicide in court out of shame and anger, and you are already old, aren't you afraid that you will lose your security at the end of the day?Do you want to die in this hall? "

you you!Shuzi!Cui Junchuo scolded Bai Fan.

Here, Cheng Yaojin and Changsun Wuji heard that their child was almost beaten, they all glared at Cui Junchuo, and said they wanted to ask the Cui family for an explanation!
Li Yuan saw that the atmosphere was tense, so he said, "Bai Fan, Cui Qing is old, so don't be rude and offend. This time is to solve the problem, not to let you mess around in the hall!"

"Bai Fan obeys! Old man, I have a few of my apprentices to testify. What do you say, is the Cui family really disregarding face? Do you want to use a document written by force to collect debts?"

Cui Junchuo's face straightened, and he said loudly, "My grandson Cui Jian told me that you signed this document voluntarily in order to befriend my Cui family and have a backer. I didn't expect you to openly repent today. It's really a pity that the world bestowed upon you the reputation of Master Bai!

The document is here, do you still want to deny it?What did the apprentice testify?Your disciples listen to you, and you will definitely collude and refuse to admit it! "

Bai Fan shouted loudly, "Okay! If you say that, then there is nothing to talk about!
Your Majesty, the grassroots also sued the Cui family's contract, which was done in a wrong way. They stole the grassroots, intending to use this to steal my Wanguan family property. Your Majesty, please make the decision! "

Li Yuan pondered, "This! One of you is holding the document, and the other is someone who testifies that the document came from a wrong path. It sounds reasonable. Who should I listen to? It's really a problem!
Ladies and gentlemen, is there anyone who can share my worries? "
