The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1514

[1514. Chapter 1438 Great joy]

Emperor Hongzhi was in a good mood.

I also have a very good impression of this Mr. Li.

He is capable…and yet so humble, he really looks like a man of enlightenment.

Those so-called saint rumors in Jiangnan were self-defeating in the blink of an eye.

I want to see who else dares to spread rumors about saints in the future.

Send off the holy driver.

Under the complicated eyes of all the Hanlin Academy members, Fang Jifan led Li Chaowen out of the Hanlin Academy.

Li Chaowen, who had just gone out and finally couldn’t hold it in any longer, fell to the ground and said with tears in his eyes: “Uncle Master, you have great supernatural powers.”

Fang Jifan blinked and couldn’t tell whether the guy’s tears were real or fake.

But Fang Jifan is a pure person, he will not think bad things about people.

Fang Jifan sighed and said: “Hey, it doesn’t matter, get up.”

Li Chaowen refused to get up, and said sincerely: “Uncle, the land and money given by your Majesty…”

Fang Jifan curled his lips and said: “You What kind of person do you think your uncle is? Do you think you are interested in such a little bit of mosquito meat? What a shameless person, are you trying to treat me like a beggar? ? We, the successor of Fan, do not eat the food that comes from outside. Oh, I heard that many pilgrims have donated land and money recently?”

Li Chaowen was surprised at first and was about to plead guilty, but now he heard something else and said immediately: “Yes, yes, yes. , But there are quite a few. Tomorrow, Xiaodao will personally bring the account book and ask his uncle to take a look.”

Fang Jifan sighed with a calm look on his face: “Look at these damn pilgrims, they have money and land, they don’t want to go. To help the people is just to do these things. If you don’t accumulate virtue on weekdays, praying to gods and worshiping Buddha, it is just temporary support. Our successors don’t believe in the money and land. We can’t spend it on the people. We want to teach the poor to become rich. If you want to feed and clothe the hungry and cold people, my uncle trusts you. There is no need to bring the account books tomorrow. I am too lazy to check the accounts. I just go to Wang Jinyuan and hand over all the money and land deeds to him. My uncle wants to take it. These are the people who have done some good things for the people of this world. Although it is only a drop in the bucket, there is a way where there is a will. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. You should also remember the teachings. Although you are a foreigner, you can be a foreigner. But you can’t be alone, but you have to care about the people and take the world as your responsibility. “

Li Chaowen kowtowed without hesitation: “Xiao Dao, please remember the teachings of my uncle.”

Fang

Jifan, who was always straightforward, waved his hand and was on the throne. His carriage and horses were waiting outside.

Li Chaowen watched the carriages and horses with a real smile on his lips, and he was extremely excited in his heart.

Finally… I am qualified to enjoy the treatment of getting out.

You must know that the people around Uncle Master who could easily be scolded to get out would not exceed the fingers of one hand. But in the end, he was able to defend himself until the clouds cleared and the moon shined… It can be said that as long as you work hard, you can grind an iron pestle into shape. Needle, God will not let you down if you work hard.

Li Chaowen felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart. He felt that all the cells in his body were jumping for joy. His whole body was radiant and energetic. His legs and feet seemed to have strength. He had unlimited hope in life, and his eyes were sparkling.

This wonderful taste is no less than the three great joys in life.

………………

“What? Why is my father a saint and I am a sub-sage?”

Zhu Houzhao stared at Fang Jifan with an unconvinced look on his face.

Yes, I just don’t accept it.

Why?

“That bitch Li Chaowen is blind, isn’t he?”

Zhu Houzhao began to chirp: “My father can knit sweaters, swing a hammer, and know how to tighten screws? Have you ever used a wrench? Can you make medicine? Hum, he just knows how to pick up things. Ready-made.”

Fang Jifan was a little amused by Zhu Houzhao’s angry look, and said with a smile: “What are you complaining about, Your Majesty? Tell your Majesty yourself.”

Zhu Houzhao stopped talking, and then said seriously: “I don’t dare.”

Fang Jifan sat down, picked up the tea cup on the table, took a sip, and then said: “Your Majesty is very wise. He not only sees everything clearly, but also has unique vision. He has decreed that from now on, the emperor and grandson will From now on, he will study with me and I will be his mentor. Hey, this is a huge burden.”

Zhu Houzhao felt sour in his heart and wanted to say something.

Fang Jifan suddenly looked at Zhu Houzhao and said: “But your Majesty still underestimates His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness the Crown Prince is very talented and full of knowledge. He can be said to be a talented person in the world. What’s more, His Highness is the father of the emperor’s grandson, my dear. It’s so ready. Instead of looking for his master, he came to find me, Fang Jifan. Sigh… Although I don’t know your majesty’s good intentions, but think about it carefully… Otherwise, your highness, you can teach the emperor’s grandson. Of course, I am still the master, you. Just be my external teacher.”

Fang Jifan’s previous words aroused Zhu Houzhao’s dissatisfaction.

Yes, not only is he more capable than his father, but he is also much more capable than his successor. Why don’t you let me teach my son by myself? Do you look down on me so much?

But what he said next made Zhu Houzhao wary.

Lao Fang won’t even be lazy about this, right? I’ll do the work, and you’ll be the only one to get the benefits?

He blinked, wanting to say something.

Fang Jifan immediately waved his hand: “Forget it, forget it, this is not good. Your Majesty has entrusted me with such a heavy responsibility. How can I make His Majesty feel cold? I should put in my 120,000 efforts to repay the emperor’s favor. This kind of thing should never be done.” If you rely on someone else, I won’t be able to bear the blame.”

Zhu Houzhao’s eyes suddenly widened and he said sternly: “I’m here to teach you, and I’ll do as you say.”

“This… Is it really possible?” Fang Jifan couldn’t help but asked with a worried look.

Zhu Houzhao bared his teeth and said: “Old Fang, don’t worry, I will teach you all my skills and I will never keep anything secret. This is my own son, how can I not care about him?” Fang

Jifan couldn’t help but feel I feel emotional that His Highness the Crown Prince actually knows that this is his son.

Fang Jifan immediately said: “In this way, it’s settled.”

………

The next morning.

Zhu Zaimo had already arrived at Xishan and came to see him. He regarded Fang Jifan as his mentor, not to mention that Fang Jifan was his uncle.

Obediently, he met Fang Jifan, and Zhu Zaimo looked very expectant.

He admired this master very much and felt that Fang Jifan was a man of great knowledge.

Therefore, after learning the news, Zhu Zaimo was filled with joy and came full of expectations.

In these days, Zhu Zaimo has grown up a lot and become stronger. Although he is only as tall as Fang Jifan’s shoulders, he still looks somewhat adult.

Fang Jifan looked at the young master Zhu Zaimo, with gentleness in his eyes, and said with a smile: “Your Majesty is here just in time. My teacher is teaching you the university questions and I have a headache. After thinking about it, I am determined to teach you.” Big skill.”

“Ah…” Zhu Zaimo finally showed some joyful expression that a young man should have, with a smile on his face and full of anticipation.

Fang

Jifan continued: “Therefore, I specially hired an assistant as my teacher. This person is a very capable person. I will study with you for a few days. After I have learned 30 to 50%, I will teach you as my teacher.”

Zai Mo bowed politely and said solemnly: “Even my mentor values this person so much. He must be a great scholar, but I don’t know who this person is?”

Fang Jifan glanced at Zhu Zai Mo meaningfully, Then he said: “Your father!”

Zhu Zaimo’s face gradually solidified, his pupils shrank slightly, and he stood stiffly on the spot, dumbfounded and speechless.

…………

Zhu Zaimo was sent to a workshop.

This is a small workshop, very simple.

There are only two stoves, one kiln entrance, and a dozen craftsmen.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao was crossing his hands, looking Zhu Zaimo up and down, with a little disgust in his eyes, and said: “Look at your thin skin and tender flesh, how do you look like my son? I will teach you the first lesson today. This workshop may not be small, but a certain component of the steam locomotive it produces is very important. Without this component, the steam locomotive would be useless. You come here first and learn how to smelt steel. You know “How to make a mold, come, my father will give you a demonstration. Watch carefully, but don’t lose your mind. If you don’t understand, my father will whip you.” When

Zhu Zaimo entered this place, he felt like he was in a furnace. Looking at the steam rising in the work shed, it seemed as if I was suffocating.

Although he has a noble status, he can get used to this.

After all, he has endured hardship.

What’s more, compared with these, he was even more shocked that his own father, who had taken off his shirt, revealing his big bronze arms, had picked up the hammer.

Bang-dang… Bang-dang… Bang-dang…

A harmonious sound like a symphony soon sounded in the workshop.

People are immersed in happy labor.

The taste of happiness can be smelled from far away.

………

Fang Jifan has always been restless these days.

Soon, he found the reason.

Zhu Xiurong is about to give birth.

Her Royal Highness the Princess originally moved into the palace, but later because Emperor Hongzhi fell ill, she ordered someone to send her back.

The expected birth was imminent, and the entire Fang family was immersed in joy.

Manager Yang was even more happy.

For several generations of the Fang family, it has been a single inheritance, but with the young master’s generation, it is finally… starting to spread. This is because our ancestors were virtuous. The young master must have burned incense and done many good deeds.

However, when the mistress was about to give birth, this tension was inevitable. Suddenly, the entire Fang family was in chaos.

There was a lot of noise, Wen Po and the people from the medical school all came, and even the imperial doctor from the Imperial Hospital hurried over.

Liang Ruying obeyed the order and personally brought the female doctors to wait and see.

Fang Jifan was both nervous and a little excited.

All fools know that risks must be spread, how could Fang Jifan not know this?

Many children bring happiness, Fang Jifan does not advocate such feudal thinking. Why do you have so many children? Do you care about the children but not the upbringing?

But our old Fang family is different. Our old Fang family really has a throne, ah no, a family that has a title to inherit. Of course it is different from other people.

…………

The turning point at the end, I’m late, sorry.
