Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1438 Great joy

  Emperor Hongzhi was in a good mood.

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

  Capable...and so humble, he really looks like a person who has attained the Tao.

  The so-called sage rumors in the south of the Yangtze River have been destroyed in a blink of an eye.

   Let's see who else would dare to create rumors about saints in the future.

   sent Sheng Jia away.

  Under the complex eyes of all the Hanlin Academy, Fang Jifan led Li Chaowen out of the Imperial Academy.

  Just after going out, Li Chaowen, who finally couldn't hold back, fell down on the ground with a thud, and said with tears in his eyes, "Uncle Master has great supernatural powers."

  Fang Jifan blinked, unable to tell whether this guy's tears were real or not.

   But Fang Jifan is a pure person, he will not think of people as bad.

  Fang Jifan sighed and said, "Hey, this is nothing, get up."

  Li Chaowen was unwilling to speak up, and said sincerely: "Uncle Master, the land and money bestowed by His Majesty..."

Fang Jifan pursed his lips and said: "What kind of person do you think of my uncle? Does my uncle like such a bit of mosquito meat? You really don't wink at me. Are you trying to make me unrighteous? Or maybe Treat me as a beggar? I, Fang Jifan, don’t eat cheap food, oh, I heard that many pilgrims have donated land and money recently?”

  Li Chaowen was shocked at first, and was about to plead guilty, but now he heard the overtones, and immediately said: "Yes, yes, yes, but there are quite a lot. Tomorrow, Xiaodao will bring the account book himself, and ask my uncle to look at it."

Fang Jifan's face was indifferent, and he sighed: "Look at these damned pilgrims, they have money and land, they don't go to help the people, but they engage in these famous things, they don't accumulate virtue on weekdays, and praying to gods and worshiping Buddha is only temporary. We, Fang Jifan, don't believe in these money and land property. We can't spend them on the common people. We want to teach the poor to become rich, and let the hungry and cold have food and clothing. Master can trust you, so you don't have to bring them tomorrow. The account books are gone, and I don't bother to check the accounts. I just go to Wang Jinyuan and hand over all the money and land deeds to him. The uncle wants to use these to do some good things for the people of the world. Although it is a drop in the bucket, but there is a will. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and you must always remember the teachings. Although you are an outsider, you cannot be alone, but you must have the common people in your heart and take the world as your responsibility."

  Li Chaowen kowtowed without hesitation: "Xiaodao remembers the teachings of my uncle."

   "Get out!"

  Fang Jifan has always been straightforward, with a big wave of his hand, he has already boarded the carriage waiting for him outside.

   Li Chaowen watched the chariots and horses off, with a genuine smile on his lips, and his heart was filled with joy.

  Finally... I am eligible to enjoy the treatment of getting out.

You know, by my uncle's side, those who can be scolded to get out at every turn, all added up, will not exceed the fingers of one hand, and in the end, I can guard the clouds and see the moon... It can be said that as long as the skill is deep, the iron pestle can be ground into a needle , painstaking people, God pays off.

  Li Chaowen felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart, and felt that every cell in his body was jumping up, his whole body was radiant and full of energy, his legs and feet seemed to have gained strength, his life had infinite hope, and his eyes were shining brightly.

  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 a look of disbelief.

  Yes, I just don’t accept it.

  Why?

   "That **** Li Chaowen is blind, isn't he?"

  Zhu Houzhao began to whine and hum: "Father knows how to knit sweaters, swing a hammer, and how to fasten screws? Have you ever used a wrench? Can you make medicine? Huh, he knows how to pick up ready-made ones."

  Fang Jifan was amused by Zhu Houzhao's angry look, and said with a smile, "What are your highness and ministers complaining about? Tell your majesty yourself."

  Zhu Houzhao did not say a word anymore. He was silent for a while, and then said seriously: "I dare not."

Fang Jifan sat down, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip Shi Shiran, and said: "Your Majesty is very wise, not only discerning the details, but also has a unique vision. It is an order that the emperor and grandson will learn from me from now on. To be his mentor, hey, this is a heavy burden."

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

Fang Jifan suddenly looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty still underestimates His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness is a man of great talents and full of economics. He is a talented person. Besides, Your Highness is the father of the emperor's grandson, my dear. It's so ready-made." My master didn't want to look for me, but I wanted to come to Fang Jifan. Hey... Although I don't know His Majesty's good intentions, I can think about it carefully... Or, His Royal Highness, you can teach the emperor and grandson. Of course, I am still a master, so you can do it My external teacher."

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

  Yes, he is not only more capable than his father, but also much higher than Fang Jifan, so why not let Ben Gong teach his son? Look down on me so much?

   But what happened next made Zhu Houzhao vigilant again.

  Old Fang won’t even be lazy about this, right? I’ll do it myself, and you’ll get the benefits?

  He blinked, trying to say something.

Fang Jifan immediately waved his hand: "Forget it, forget it, this is not good, Your Majesty has entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, how can I make His Majesty feel cold, I should devote 120,000 percent of my energy to repay the emperor's favor, such things must never be done." If you give someone a false hand, if you entrust it to someone else, then I will be blamed, and I will not be able to bear the blame."

  Zhu Houzhao's eyes widened immediately, and he said sharply: "I will teach you, and I will do as you say."

   "Is this...really possible?" Fang Jifan couldn't help but asked with a worried face.

  Zhu Houzhao grinned his teeth and said: "Old Fang, don't worry, I will teach you all my skills, and I will never hide anything. This is my own son, how can I not care about it?"

  Fang Jifan couldn't help feeling in his heart, His Royal Highness, actually knew that this was his son.

  Fang Jifan immediately said: "In this case, it can be regarded as a deal."

  …

   Early the next morning.

  Zhu Zaimo has already arrived at Xishan and came to pay a visit. He already regards Fang Jifan as his mentor, not to mention Fang Jifan is also his uncle.

   Obediently greeted Fang Jifan, Zhu Zaimo showed a look of anticipation.

  He admired this master very much, and felt that Fang Jifan was a learned man.

  Thus, after hearing the news, Zhu Zaimo came here full of joy and anticipation.

  In these days, Zhu Zaimo has grown up a lot and has become stronger. Although his height only reaches Fang Jifan's shoulders, he has the appearance of a man.

Fang Jifan looked at the young master Zhu Zaimo with gentleness in his eyes, and said with a smile: "The emperor's grandson came just in time, and it's a headache for my teacher to teach you university. After much deliberation, I am determined to teach you. Big deal."

   "Ah..." Zhu Zaimo finally showed a little joyful expression that young people should have, with a smile on his face, looking forward to it.

  Fang Jifan continued: "Therefore, I specially invited a teaching assistant for the teacher. This person is a person with great ability. You can learn from you for a while, and after 30 to 50% of the learning, I will teach you as a teacher."

  Zhu Zaimo bowed politely, and said solemnly: "Even my mentor values ​​this person so much, this person must be a high-ranking scholar, but I don't know, who is this person?"

  Fang Jifan took a meaningful look at Zhu Zaimo and said, "Your father!"

  Zhu Zaimo's face gradually froze, his pupils shrank slightly, and he stood there stiffly, dumbfounded and speechless.

  ...

  Zhu Zaimo was sent to a workshop.

   This is a small workshop, very simple.

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

At this time, Zhu Houzhao was crossing his hands, looking at 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. Don't look down on this workshop, but a certain component of the steam locomotive it produces is very important. Without this component, the steam locomotive is useless. You come here first and learn how to make steel. How to touch it, come on, I will show you a demonstration for my father, watch it carefully, don’t lose your mind, if you don’t understand it then, I will beat you for my father.”

  When Zhu Zaimo entered here, he felt like he was in a stove, looking at the steam rising from the shed, as if he wanted to suffocate himself.

  Although the status is noble, he can get used to these things.

   After all, he has suffered.

   What's more, compared with these, what shocked him even more was that his own father, who had already taken off his outer shirt and revealed his big bronze arms, had already picked up the hammer.

  Bang Bang Bang Dang... Bang Dang... Bang Dang...

  In the workshop, a harmonious sound like a symphony sounded soon.

  People are immersed in happy labor.

  The taste of happiness can be smelled far away.

  …

   These days, Fang Jifan is always restless.

   Soon, he found the reason.

   Zhu Xiurong is about to give birth.

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

  The expected delivery is imminent, and the entire Fang family is immersed in joy.

  The steward Yang was even more happy.

  Fang's family has been passed down for several generations, but only in the young master's generation, it is finally... going to bloom. This is because the ancestors were virtuous, and the young master must have burned high incense and done many good deeds.

  However, facing the imminent delivery of the hostess, this nervousness is inevitable. All of a sudden, the whole Fang family is in chaos.

   There was a lot of voices, all the people from Wenpo and the medical school came, even the imperial doctor from the imperial hospital hurried over.

  Liang Ruying obeyed the order and brought the female doctors in person, waiting for her.

  Fang Jifan was both nervous and excited.

  Any fool knows that risks must be dispersed, so how could Fang Jifan not know.

  Many sons, many blessings, Fang Jifan does not advocate such feudal thinking. What do you do with so many children? Do you care about raising them?

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

  ...

  Transfer at the end, sorry for being late.
