"Kefa, who is that young man? Why is he so wild and rebellious?"
Jiang Yueguang has always attached great importance to reputation, especially since he took charge of the Nanjing Hanlin Academy, everyone treated him with great courtesy. At this moment, he was suddenly ridiculed by a young man, who asked Shi Kefa with an angry face.
Seeing that he was angry, Shi Kefa hurriedly advised him: "Mr. Jiang, don't be angry. The boy's name is Xia Wanchun. He is the son of Xia Yunyi from several tribes. You have met him in the early years."
Hearing this, Jiang Yueguang frowned and thought for a while, then said: "You said he was the Jiangzuo genius who was praised by Chen Zilong. I remember that he was very well-behaved and sensible at that time. Why are you so rude today?"
Shi Kefa smiled apologetically and said: "Mr. Jiang, this kid is quite good. It's just because he and a young man suddenly visited yesterday and asked me to send troops to serve the king. I didn't agree to him, so I made this incident, which has hurt you!"
After that, he apologized to Xia Wanchun again and again.
Gao Hongtu knew that Shi Kefa and Xia Wanchun also had a teacher-student relationship, so he smiled and persuaded: "Brother Ju, why do you have to be angry with a young man!"
"If you are really angry, when you meet Chen Zilong one day, I will scold him for you and ask him how he teaches his students!"
In fact, after Jiang Yueguang knew Xia Wanchun's identity, the anger in his heart had dissipated a lot. At this moment, seeing Gao Hongtu teasing him, he also smiled and said: "Okay, I have written it down. If you protect him then, I won't." Let’s break up with you!”
Seeing this, Qian Qianyi also smiled and said: "Brother Ju, don't worry, even if Brother Yanwen doesn't ask, I will help you reprimand Chen Zilong and ask him how he taught his disciples!"
As soon as he spoke, he saw Shi Kefa's slightly surprised look. Then he thought that his concubine Liu Rushi had a relationship with Chen Zilong, and his face turned red again.
Fortunately, Gao Hongtu was still teasing Jiang Yueguang and didn't notice anything strange about him, so he covered it up with an awkward smile.
At this time, Zheng Sen walked in with an angry face and was stunned when he saw everyone smiling.
"Zheng Sen, have you caught Xia Wanchun?"
Qian Qianyi saw this and asked him with a smile.
Zheng Sen was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "The student is incompetent. He was already going to take down that...Xia Wanchun, but unexpectedly another person suddenly appeared and rescued him!"
Qian Qianyi couldn't help being surprised when he heard this, because he knew that although Zheng Sen's knowledge was not very good, his martial arts was very good.
I didn't expect that someone would rescue him from his clutches today. He was a little surprised and said, "Do you remember that person's appearance?"
Zheng Sen shook his head again and said, "The man is masked, so I can't see his face clearly."
"Is that man tall and thin, dressed in Confucian attire, with a long sword at his waist?"
Just when Qian Qianyi frowned, Shi Kefa asked again.
Zheng Sen glanced at Shi Kefa, then pretended to be surprised and said: "That man does have a sword on his waist. Could it be that Shi Shangshu knows him?"
Shi Kefa saw Jiang Yueguang and others looking at him with doubts, and explained with a smile: "Didn't I just say that Xia Wanchun came to see me yesterday with a young man? The young man was dressed like that!"
Jiang Yueguang said with some curiosity: "Xia Wanchun is so arrogant. It is not easy to think of someone who comes with him. But who is that young man?"
Shi Kefa shook his head and said: "That young man is not from Fushe or several societies. He seems to be the son of a Yuanwailang from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. His name is Zhang...oh, by the way, his name is Zhang Huangyan."
"It's a bit ridiculous to say that Chun'er and he met by chance on the road. They came together because they were all looking for me!"
Hearing this, Qian Qianyi shook his head and said: "Today's government affairs are so complicated that even those of us who have been in court for a long time can't see clearly. He, a son of a small official, doesn't know what big politics are. It's just nonsense!"
Then he looked at Zheng Sen and said, "Send someone back to look for him. Be sure to find that person, lest he take advantage of the Xia family's reputation to do something that would disgrace Jiangnan's literary style."
When Zheng Sen heard this, a flash of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, and then he responded respectfully.
It turned out that Zheng Sen had just met Zhang Huangyan, and when he saw his majestic appearance, he felt a little admiration in his heart.
Later, the two had a fist fight, but they couldn't decide the outcome, and they even cherished each other.
Zheng Sen originally wanted to have a chat with Zhang Huangyan, but he was worried that if he didn't return for a long time, he would easily arouse suspicion.
So after he and Zhang Huangyan agreed on a place to meet again, he hurried back.
At this moment, seeing Qian Qianyi value family status so much and despising Zhang Huangyan, he felt a little dissatisfied.
However, thinking that Zheng still needed to rely on Qian Qianyi's influence, he had to pretend to be humble and accept.
Qian Qianyi was quite satisfied when he saw Zheng Sen being so respectful, and took the opportunity to get closer to Shi Kefa.
Zheng Sen saw that they were all chatting about old things, and impatiently, he mentioned sending troops again.
After listening to Zheng Sen's story, Shi Kefa originally wanted to send troops, but when he saw Jiang Yueguang was silent, he hesitated.
Then he remembered that he had made an appointment with Fengyang Governor Ma Shiying to come for discussion. He thought that he might as well discuss with Ma Shiying before making a decision, so he smiled and said: "My dear nephew, I understand your mood. It's just that His Majesty is in danger, and we are now in danger."
"You might as well ask your father to make preparations first, and then I will inform you after discussing with Governor Fengyang. How about that?"
Hearing this, Zheng Sen still wanted to argue, but Qian Qianyi on the side spoke again: "Zheng Sen, this is a serious matter. Let Shi Shangshu think about it carefully!"
Zheng Sen knew that there was nothing he could do, so he stopped talking and stepped aside with a frown.
Seeing that he didn't understand, Qian Qianyi thought that he might need to rely on his family's power in the future, so he took advantage of Shi Kefa's discussion with Jiang Yueguang and others to teach him in a low voice: "Zheng Sen, how can you be so confused? There is so much chaos in the north now." , it’s out of control, why do you still want to go north?”
"You have to know that our roots are in the south. Once the southern troops move north, if Zhang Xianzhong leaves Sichuan or Yuan Zongdi goes south, how will we protect ourselves? Don't make any more nonsense!"
Hearing this, Zheng Sen said with some dissatisfaction: "Master, you are worrying too much. Zhang Xianzhong has too much time to take care of himself, so how can he find the strength to leave Sichuan? As for Yuan Zongdi and others, they are just guard dogs of Thief Li, so how can they go south?"
Seeing that he dared to refute, Qian Qianyi could not help but glare at him, and then suppressed his anger and said seriously: "Zheng Sen, you are still too young. If things in the world were so simple, how could your Majesty be besieged by the rebels?"
"So we must think twice before doing anything, and we must not act as if we are brave. You must read more Zhu Xi's mottos in the future and practice the art of nourishing qi..."
Zheng Sen couldn't help but panic when he heard his clichés.
However, due to Zheng Zhilong's instructions, he could only nod his head patiently.
After finally leaving Shi Kefa's residence, he hurriedly found an excuse to separate from Qian Qianyi and prepared to meet Zhang Huangyan, but was stumped by the news brought by his general Huang Ting.
It turned out that the matter of King Qin going north was just Zheng Hongkui's idea. When Zheng Zhilong learned about it, he not only scolded Zheng Hongkui, but also strictly ordered everyone in the Zheng family not to participate in the matter. Anyone who disobeyed the order would be directly expelled from the Zheng family.
