Xiaosheng is not a nerd

Xie Fu was moved: "What a source of clean water!"

"The sages are like this, and we should also correct ourselves. If we have different ideas, we will inevitably feel guilty, restless and trembling."

"The sages set an example for me, and I set an example for the younger generation. Xie Fu, do you think this name should be a picture or not?"

Xie Fu sincerely convinced: "Master Lu's words are really touching, and Xie Fu was fascinated when he heard it."

Lu Tao said with a smile: "Don't talk too far, the people under the rule have enough clothes, warm food and enough food. I also wear the Chinese clothes comfortably, and drink two cups of water and wine to my heart's content. As for the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and entertaining all kinds of operas, I can also have the audacity to say that I share the same interests with others."

"My lord is really noble."

Lu Tao laughed loudly: "No matter this matter or this person, I am most afraid of talking about virtue and noble character. If I talk about it, it will change the taste. Let's just say it like this. Xie Fu, you love beauty, and I, Lu Tao, love fame. Isn't everyone pursuing it all his life?"

What Xie Fu said was embarrassing for the young boss, but Lu Tao laughed and said, "I'm just kidding."

Xie Fu changed the topic: "By the way, cousin, thanks to the adults for taking care of you."

Lu Tao responded, "I have to take care of Gezhi now, but I won't be able to take care of him anymore."

Xie Fu was surprised: "How do you say that?"

"The quality has been elevated."

"Are you promoted?"

"Don't you know? Gezhi has been transferred to Chang'an to take the post of Taishi Zhongcheng."

Xie Fu was slightly surprised, and Lu Tao added: "Appointed by the Central Secretary, the edict was handed over by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

When Lu Tao said this, Xie Fu immediately understood that his cousin Xie Li had become the key object of the imperial court's attention, and there was no need for such a grand and grand appointment of a small seventh rank under the Taishi Zhongcheng.

Lu Tao smiled and said: "Although Taishi Zhongcheng is only a seventh-rank official, he is still a Beijing official. He is close to the center of the temple and is expected to be the emperor. Gezhi has a bright future."

Xie Fu smiled and said, "Master Lu, if you have something to say between me, please speak directly."

Lu Tao said: "Obviously the imperial court wants to reuse you, Xie Fu, but it also has a hand in advance. It will keep your brother in Chang'an as a hostage, so that it will be the key to restrain you in the future."

Xie Fu smiled and didn't say much. Once he became a high official and had great power, he always had to take this step. It would be impossible for his cousin to give up his official career.

Lu Tao asked: "Xie Fu, don't you want to say something?"

"Lord Lu, I can only say that my brother is Xie Jiaxiong'er, and that swords, fire, and water are invulnerable."

Lu Tao let out a groan, obviously he didn't expect Xie Fu to praise him so highly.

"If something happens..."

After pondering for a moment, Xie Fu continued: "If something happens, my brother will be able to do it well, but... I'm indecisive, and I'm afraid I won't be able to make a decision."

Lu Tao said softly, "I'm afraid that Gezhi's character is too honest and will be used by others."

Xie Fu smiled relievedly: "Ah... To paraphrase a Buddhist gatha, there is nothing that can cause dust."

Lu Tao was puzzled, but Xie Fu thought of how to explain it: "Some small things may be able to deceive my cousin. When encountering right and wrong things, my brother's pair of eyes can distinguish evil from evil."

Lu Tao was surprised: "Gezhi actually has this supernatural power!"

Xie Fu didn't know how to explain it. This was the feeling of brothers getting along for many years. Let's get back to the topic: "My cousin went to Chang'an to take office without notifying me."

"How could you not be notified of such a big event, that is, these days, you are not in Suzhou, so you should have left a letter."

"Oh, I just came back, and the letters in the study are piled up like a mountain, and I haven't had time to read them all."

Lu Tao said with a deep smile: "You have a lot of letters. Now that you are an official, it will be difficult for you to be free again."

After chatting about chores, Xie Fu explained the purpose of the trip: "My lord, I was just about to ask you what's going on with this military competition?"

"What else is going on? The matter has gotten worse. All forces have regarded your military competition as a battlefield. Do you think I have received few letters? They have blown me up."

Lu Tao told Xie Fu eloquently, and Xie Fu gradually understood.

In order to prevent the formation of cliques and separatist regimes, the Zhechong military mansions of the guards and their subordinates were not concentrated in one or one state. Therefore, the troops under the jurisdiction of Huainan Road and Jiangnan East Road under the jurisdiction of Xie Fu, the Jiedushi, belonged to different forces.

The scope is so wide that even Lu Tao can't understand the complexity.

Previously, Xie Fu was just a military governor with a false title, backed by a royal family, many forces naturally turned a blind eye and were willing to sell Xie Fu's face.

Now that Xie Fu is going to engage in military competition within his jurisdiction, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xie Fu intends to recruit these troops for his own use. No one wants his subordinate army to become a private army of Jiedu envoys who cannot be mobilized.

This time he came forward to show his control and dominance over these armies, and at the same time show his strength to the other army and increase the prestige of the Ministry of Defense.

Xie Fu laughed and said: "It's a plan to kill two birds with one stone, but my armor is not given for free. I didn't take advantage of it. If you make wedding clothes for others, you have to ask me if I am willing."

Lu Tao said: "The development of the matter to this place is beyond your control. His Royal Highness is also very interested in your military competition, and specially brought two of his own soldiers to participate."

Xie Fu said in surprise: "His Royal Highness is also joining in the fun, isn't it chaotic enough?"

Lu Tao said: "I don't have much contact with this person, His Royal Highness, and I don't know enough about what kind of person he is. However, according to rumors, he is very happy. He can't miss such a lively event. Since it happens, he must participate."

Xie Fu smiled wryly: "His two personal soldiers participated, what else is there for others." Qin Chucheng's personal soldiers, Xie Fu, had seen it before. They were the elite among the elite, and they were not comparable to the general Zhechong government army.

Lu Tao laughed and said, "That's not necessarily the case. It depends on whether everyone wants to be serious. It's really a big deal."

Xie Fu was puzzled, and only heard Lu Tao laughingly said: "Take my Lu clan as an example. I have nine surnames and thirteen Wangs. Don't you think that my Lu clan only has the family of the Lu family in Suzhou? Looking around the world, there are more than thousands of children from my Lu clan."

Lu Tao said again: "You don't think that the Zhu faction has been wiped out, it's just that the dragon's head has been cut off, and it's hard for the rest of the people to make trouble again."

"Or take your Kuaiji Xie family as an example, how many people should be killed if you want to eradicate them?"

Xie Fu nodded to understand Lu Tao's meaning. Although the Xie family in Kuaiji fell in the middle of nowhere, his family ties spread all over the world.

"Xie Fu, although the development of this matter is beyond my expectation, since you have entrusted me with it, Gu Xuan and I will naturally handle it satisfactorily. I have already discussed it with Gu Xuan. You are still fledgling, and it is not appropriate for these forces to have too many conflicts at present. All the guards will take care of their face. If you suffer a little loss, you will suffer a little loss. It can also be regarded as selling favors. With this favor in hand, it will be easy to talk about things in the future."

Lu Tao frowned suddenly as he spoke: "Who knew that Mrs. Wang's sudden intervention completely disrupted my plan and Gu Xuan's."

Xie Fu was puzzled: "How did Mrs. Wang intervene?"

Lu Tao replied: "How else can I intervene? This woman keeps arranging for her royal family to participate. A chessboard is only this big. Everyone puts up one flag. Your royal family needs to plant five and eight flags. It's not messy. How can you let me, a man of the world, give it to me?"

"I don't know what she thinks, is she afraid that you, the Jiedu envoy, will climb too fast and overtake her king, or is she really thinking about you, the future son-in-law, I tried to discuss this with her several times, but she didn't see me."

With a sound of Xie Fu's forehead, Xiao Yun's heart was naturally towards him, and he didn't have any fear of his power over the king's head, but he didn't know what Xiao Yun was thinking.

"Xie Fu, how about this, you first ask your mother-in-law about it, and then we can discuss it in the long run."

Xie Fu asked, "Is Mrs. Wang in Suzhou?"

"I've been in Suzhou, staring at me and Shudu."

Xie Fu laughed and said, "Master Lu, can't you leave her alone?"

Lu Tao lightly patted Xie Fu's arm: "Wang and Li's family is the leader of nine surnames and thirteen looking north and south. If she said a word, the east of the south of the Yangtze River will change tomorrow. Do you believe it?"

Xie Fu smiled and said, "Okay, since Mrs. Wang is in Suzhou, I'll go to see her when I have time."

"You don't need to go to Shudu and Zhongji's side. After you find out, I will hold a banquet for the two of them to gather in Suzhou Creek."

Xie Fu looked at the sky, and Lu Tao smiled and said, "It's not suitable for me to go at this point. As for you, just say hello to your future mother-in-law, and be filial first."

Lu Tao didn't know that Xie Fu was worried. He was afraid that if he went, he wouldn't be able to go home at night. He had only been home for two days and spent the night outside. He couldn't justify it.

It is impossible to tell Lu Tao clearly about these troubles.

Seeing Xie Fu's hesitation, Lu Tao smiled and said, "An ugly daughter-in-law has to see her parents-in-law. I was wrong. It should be the ugly son-in-law who also has to see his mother-in-law. Besides, it's not the first time I've seen you. This woman is a little bit more powerful. No matter what, you are also half of the future. She has a sense of proportion, so there is no need to be trembling."

What Xie Fu said was quite shocking.

Lu Tao patted the back of Xie Fu's hand again, which was regarded as comforting. His expression was thoughtful and he didn't speak, but he was thinking about the character of Mrs. Wang, so that he could put Xie Fu in a proper position.

Xie Fu was so guilty of being photographed by Lu Tao, he stood up and said, "Master Lu, then I will take my leave first."

"Xie Fu, I'll wait for your good news."

After leaving Lu's mansion, Xie Fu saw that the sky was already dark and quickened his pace.

From Lu Tao's mouth, I learned that the place where Mrs. Wang stayed in Suzhou was called Yuyuan, and the location of this Yuyuan was on Shangshantang Street near Fengqiao.

Hanshan Temple and Fengqiao are together, thinking about it carefully, Xie Fu has stayed in Suzhou for so long, and he hasn't visited Fengqiao of Hanshan Temple yet.

Thinking about it, he smiled, you said he was at ease, but he hadn't even set foot in this scenic spot, you said he was busy, but he could find time.

Thinking back from the beginning, the happiest time was when I was a gentleman in Tantai Mansion, but at that time, I was not qualified to travel in the mountains and rivers, and my actions were restricted everywhere.

When I came to Lumen, there were many shops and shops in the market, and it was very popular. Only then did Xie Fu remember that he was empty-handed, not even any souvenirs.

After thinking about it, it was most appropriate to give some food, so I went into a shop and bought a box of Su Biscuits.

Holding the su cake in his hand, he felt that something was almost there.

I haven't seen each other for a few days, and I don't have any intentions. She will definitely annoy me, and if she annoys me, things will definitely not work out.

Jade pendants, hairpins, jewelry, waist ornaments, calligraphy and painting collections...

After thinking about it for a while, such items are all vulgar things, even if they are given away, they still have no intentions.

I was having no way to deal with it, and suddenly I saw some pebbles scattered under the stone trough where fish were raised in a fish stall.

Xie Fu had a flash of inspiration and approached.
