How to make a famous minister

Chapter 34

What follows is Ni Houzhan's solo show time, but his show is over, and he has to ask after a while: "Are you still a baby?"

"Are you still a baby?"

"Are you still a baby?"

Fan Xuanchao flipped the table angrily, "You're just a baby! I watch a lot more porn and gv than you, you're a countryman who can only watch erotic pictures."

Ni Houzhan was overwhelmed by such elegant and refined names as "□□, gv", "What...what love?"

Fan Xuanchao was stunned, and said something strange in a moment of impatience, and now he remembered that this was not the era of King Billy, so he sat down awkwardly, "It's okay...it's okay..." Ni Houzhan insisted on talking again in order to change the subject The situation of the pink-faced and rouge Xiaochang in Lianzi Hutong.

Ni Houzhan was still very curious, and after speaking a few words Rong Guan asked, "What do you love?"

Fan Xuanchao was annoyed by the question, and rolled his eyes, "Love is a kind of belief, but it's in such a hurry."

In exchange for Ni Houzhan's look of "this child is sick".

The two of them had played enough, and only then did they really sit down and talk about business.

"At the banquet, Ma Jiansheng really regarded me as a brother, and said he wanted to make a fortune with me." Ni Houzhan was proud of his success in breaking into the enemy's rear, "He said that Lu Zhu and the two were short-sighted, but how farsighted was he? In the long run? Wei Zhongxian is now being beaten by everyone, and his only backers are the Hakka family and the emperor. All the eunuchs in the court only know how to give him gifts and handle affairs, and how many of them have done things for him well? Everyone thinks Wei Zhongxian Reliable. But Wei Zhongxian has a saint on top, but there are thousands of people who are dragging his legs down. This string is thin and easy to break. They see that there are so many people falling behind Wei Zhongxian, and they think that he is rooted in the ground and will never break. So they climbed up all at once. Little did they know, this thread would become thinner and thinner, and one day it would break, turning them all into a puddle of mud."

Fan Xuanchao made up the analogy of Ni Houzhan, and suddenly the zombie in Resident Evil appeared in his mind, and he shuddered. "So we just have to wait now? But what are we waiting for?"

"..."

Ni Houzhan didn't know what they were waiting for, waiting for God to accept him?Waiting for a big boss to write a letter to impeach him?Until Emperor Apocalypse had to recognize Wei Zhongxian's true face and deal with him by himself?

Ni Houzhan had the idea of ​​"if this is the case, he would like to become a hermit".

"If Wei Zhongxian wasn't defeated by us, what's the point?"

Fan Xuanchao laughed, and said: "How many people want to bring down Wei Zhongxian, how can we, these two little shrimps, get our turn?"

Ni Houzhan nodded, "That's right, it would be a great thing to get rid of such a big treacherous and evil person, no matter who did it. But if we can also participate in it, I won't do it in the past 20 years." It’s a waste of time.”

Fan Xuanchao thought about it, the downfall of Wei Zhongxian was the second major event in the year of Chongzhen, but he didn't know where they would gain a foothold in the officialdom and whether they could participate in it.

He snapped his fingers and calculated, now it is the fourth year of Tianqi, next year's autumn, and the next year's spring, if all goes well, Tianqi will be an official for six years, and Chongzhen will behead Wei Zhongxian every other year.In two years, he couldn't be mixed up with Wei Zhongxian in a positive position.If he did well in the exam and won the top three to enter the Imperial Academy, he might be able to watch with his own eyes how Wei Zhongxian fell from power.

It is not bad.

Fan Xuanchao patted him on the shoulder, "Hey, take the imperial examination well, and stay in Beijing to be an official when the time comes. If you can't beat him, you can watch him win the battle."

Ni Houzhan didn't know that Emperor Tianqi would die in a few years. He only thought that Emperor Tianqi was only in his 20s and had a long lifespan. I'm afraid he would have time to climb from a small magistrate county below to the position of Beijing official.

He sighed and said melancholy, "I don't know when it will be."

"Soon, soon." Fan Xuanchao comforted him.

Apocalypse four years, June [-]st.On this day, Fan Xuanchao's little sister was born. Aunt Zhai gave birth to her all night long since last night, and she was born after working so hard.

Aunt Zhai launched it in the middle of the night, which startled the entire Fan residence.Fortunately, the due date is just a few days away, and Mrs. Wen and the servants are all ready.For a while, there were people coming and going in the courtyard for the doctor and the hanging cloth, but they were orderly. It can be seen that Zhang's housekeeper has improved a lot in recent years.

There is nothing to do at home these days, just waiting for Aunt Zhai to give birth, and Mrs. Zhang went to bed early after making arrangements.In the middle of the night, as soon as the servants came to notify, Hongling immediately woke up Mrs. Zhang, and Zizhu put on the coat and coat hung beside the bed for Mrs. Zhang, and hurried to Aunt Di's yard.

With such a big movement in the whole house, Fan Xuanchao would naturally wake up.Hearing that Aunt Di gave birth, he wanted to lie down and sleep, but after lying down, he still sighed and sat up, "Gu Yu, change clothes. Let's go to Aunt Di's yard to have a look."

Gu Yu showed a look of embarrassment, and whispered: "Master, my aunt gave birth, you go now, I'm afraid it will be bad."

Fan Xuanchao's mind turned and he realized what Gu Yu was embarrassing.His current thinking is still "the elders give birth to children, and the younger ones go to visit". In fact, if he really went, it would become "the young master went to approach his father's concubine while his father was away", and he became a lifelong concubine. A family ethics drama.

Fan Xuanchao was annoyed that he had made an empiricist mistake again, and at the same time told Gu Yu: "I didn't think carefully. But my mother is there with me, and I am too embarrassed to sleep. Go and ask if you need me to accompany your mother."

Gu Yu replied yes, and then backed away. After a while, he brought back a message from Mrs. Zhang, "Madam said, the young master only needs to rest well. Aunt Di's staff is already enough, and there is no need for the young master to come back." go."

Fan Xuanchao nodded, "Okay. What about Lang'er? Is he awake?"

"When the maid went to Aunt Di's courtyard, Li Xia from Master Lang's courtyard was coming out to check. I asked, but Master Lang was not woken up."

"Okay, then I know. You can go back to sleep too."

Although Gu Yu was wearing a coat, she still carried the coolness of an early spring night. Now she was standing a few steps away from Fan Xuanchao, she bowed her head and answered without any impatience.

Seeing this, Fan Xuanchao felt a little embarrassed, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, it's windy at night, you go out and come back, drink some hot water, don't catch a cold."

Although Fan Xuanchao didn't expect that someone would boil hot water for Gu Yu in the middle of the night, and he didn't expect that Gu Yu would spend most of the night heating water to warm his body, but this is Fan Xuanchao's kindness. Said: "Yes, young master. You should go to bed earlier."

Fan Xuanchao was happy to have nothing to do, so he lay down to sleep again.

As soon as he and Fan Xuanlang woke up, they had a younger sister.Fan Xuanlang jumped three feet high and clapped his hands happily, "I have a younger sister! I have a younger sister!" Pulling Fan Xuanchao's arm, "Brother, let's go see my younger sister!"

Fan Xuanchao was also very happy when he knew that he had a younger sister. He patted Fan Xuanlang's forehead, "You are so excited, be careful not to scare my younger sister to tears."

When they got there, Fan Xuanchao knew that they would never see this newborn sister.Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "Lang'er is so impatient? But your sister was just born, and she can't see the light or blow the wind. After a few days, you can see her when she opens her eyes. Wait until she can crawl and walk." , you can come and play with her."

Fan Xuanlang was a little disappointed, but when he thought that his sister would be able to run and dance in a few days, not too far away, he became happy again.

Fan Xuanchao didn't know that his younger brother had no common sense like him, so he asked Mrs. Zhang, "Have you chosen your younger sister's nickname?"

"No, I'm waiting to get it for your father with my daimyo." Mrs. Zhang said, and everyone shouted, "Miss, Miss."

Fan Xuanchao saw that although there were many people here, they were well organized, and seeing that there was no need for him, he asked Mrs. Zhang for instructions and went to Mr. Chen to study.

Naturally, Mrs. Zhang wished that he would stay far away from here. Last night, Fan Xuan went to Gu Yu to ask if he needed his help, which really shocked her.Mrs. Zhang has always known that her eldest son is a little confused about the situation in the world, but she didn't expect him to be so confused. Seeing him leave the yard voluntarily now, she was relieved.Anyway, Aunt Zhai gave birth to a younger sister who was going to marry sooner or later, so she didn't need to be too close.

...Ms. Zhang was taken aback for a moment, she was also a daughter of a concubine, and now she is a aunt, but she has such dark thoughts.Recalling that when she was still a girl in the British government, she had to cater to her aunt.Fortunately, the aunt was kind and didn't embarrass her too much. Did she also have the idea of ​​"just a concubine who doesn't get in the way"?

But her elder brother Zhang Weixian has always cared for her and treated her like his own younger sister, never thinking that she was born of a concubine and was inferior to him.Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhang's heart softened, and she ordered Hongling, "Go get my pair of longevity locks, and then tell the kitchen to give the young lady a bowl of crucian carp soup every day and a bowl of goat's milk every two days."

Fan Xuanlang didn't want to leave his sister to study, so he stayed in Zhang's arms all the time, thinking that if Zhang's heart softened, he would take him to have a look at his sister from afar.When I heard my mother say "a bowl of goat's milk every two days", I couldn't help but feel that my sister's wet nurse was too pitiful, and I shrank my neck.

The Fan family added another daughter, so naturally there were congratulatory gifts from the wives who usually come and go, but it was just a concubine daughter, and it was in the filial piety period, so they didn't give much gifts, and they were all low-key.

When Ni Houzhan found Fan Xuanchao again, he was practicing calligraphy by himself. When he raised his eyes, he saw Ni Houzhan coming in in a hurry, and said with a smile, "Did Ma Jiansheng invite you to Lianzi Hutong for a drink? Did you hear about my newcomer?" You have a younger sister, so you came here to congratulate the pre-order?"

"Big deal! You're still joking!" Ni Houzhan said anxiously, before realizing it, "Do you have a younger sister?"

"My aunt gave birth last night." Hearing that Ni Houzhan was so anxious and said it was a big deal, Fan Xuanchao couldn't help asking, "What happened?"

Ni Houzhan didn't care about the mess about Fan Xuanchao's having an extra brother and sister, so he quickly poured out all the news he knew, "Yang Lian was charged with the 24 major crimes of impeachment against Wei Zhongxian, but he didn't hand in the paper, and now it's on Wei Zhongxian's desk. "
