Chapter 58 Separate

[58] respectively

"Oh?"

Yao Fan asked, "Can you introduce me?"

Li Jingfang smiled and said, "Brother Yao, if you say nothing, our Qing Dynasty will definitely make you rise to the top."

Yao Fan smiled and said nothing. In the Qing Dynasty, a wooden shell wind sailboat with more than 1,300 tons of drainage was used as a cruiser. I will sell you a 2,000-ton iron shell warship. Is it rare to soar?

"That's the big brother Li." Yao Fan said lightly.

Then the four people chatted eagerly for a while. The topic was always inseparable from Yao Fan's thrilling experience. Yao Fan said that the process was very simple, and he said that there was no need to report to the official, otherwise there might be continuous trouble in the future.

When Yao Fan left the Li family's yard, he gathered with his friends. Yao Fan took out the silver and asked the guys to buy a fat pig of the Shilibao Wang family and asked the Wang family to help kill it. Everyone had a meal to celebrate. After more than 200 catties of fat pigs were killed, the onlookers drooled. This meal of pig-killing dishes and stewed meat with green onions, not only the Yao family ate meat until they were full, but also everyone was divided into a bowl of stewed pork with green onions, soup and meat. They were very happy.

After eating pig-killing dishes and stews that night, everyone was happy and celebrated Yao Fan's safe return.

Yao Fan pulled Zhou Shi to a secluded talking place, ordered Zhou Shi to go to the outer official road of Shilibao, find a separate thick and thin old locust tree, scrape off the bark, engrave a word of medicine, and told him not to mention this matter to anyone.

Zhou Fourth received Yao Fan's order, and he was puzzled and happy. What he was puzzled about was the strangeness of this matter. He was happy that the owner could leave such a confidential thing to himself, which was obviously a great trust in himself.

Yao Fan was relieved when he came back on the fourth week and reported the completion of the task to Yao Fan alone.

Yao Fan didn't value this group of bandits very much at the beginning. He felt that they were few and a group of rabbles could not achieve great things, but he heard that they had a stockade with more than 1,000 people of old and young people in the stockade, which moved Yao Fan.

"That's a base anyway, isn't it? No matter how small the fly is, it is still meat. If it can be caged, it will always be helpful. Yao Fan thought.

Next, the road to Jinan is calm.

Because of the trip with the Li family, the speed of Yao Fan's caravan was also slowed down. When it arrived in Jinan, eight days had passed since the day of departure from Shilibao.

In the past eight days, the Li brothers showed amazing education. They read all 13 sets of the five sets of books given to them by Yao Fan, and asked Yao Fan endlessly all day long. Many questions even had to think about them for a long time before they could answer.

Yao Fan can see that Li Jingxuan, the youngest of these three people, is a girl. She is relatively shy and doesn't ask questions in person, and often asks Li Jingshu to ask questions on her behalf. Li Jingfang believes in his identity and feels that he wants to sit on an equal footing with Yao Fan. It is an equal relationship. It is not easy to always ask for advice, so he often thinks about the answer by himself. On the contrary, Li Jingshu has the least psychological burden and chases Yao Fan all day long:

"Brother Yao, why does the king of England leave financial power to the parliament?"

"Brother Yao, why are German states willing to give up their tariffs and unite with Prussia?"

"Brother Yao, why is the red-haired Netherlands, a sea coachman, only a land of projectiles, but not swallowed up by the surrounding Taixi powers?"

"Brother Yao, why would such a powerful country as Britain tolerate the rebellious division of the United States?"

"Brother Yao, why do Russians find an old German woman who can't even speak Russian as their queen?"

"Brother Yao, since Napoleon III has fallen, will the French Third Republic be repaired with me in the Qing Dynasty in the future? Return it to my Annan country?"

This boy is like a living 100,000 whys, which makes Yao Fan tireless, but considering that he is Li Hongzhang's own son, Yao Fan has to press his heart and be impatient and patient to explain to this boy one by one.

About this boy acted as soon as he heard it. Eight days later, Yao Fan had become a worldly wonder who read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles in the eyes of the three Li family, even including Fubo. What's more, he is regarded by Li Jingshu as a guiding light for half a teacher and half a friend and a senior brother, and usually salute more respectfully.

Yao Fan has really come into contact with the style and family traditions of the noble literati of the Qing Dynasty these days. I am also very impressed to see that the three brothers of the Li family always get up on time at 5 o'clock every morning and copy 100 big characters before having breakfast.

It's just that Yao Fan's mood is delicate for the three kids to be served by others when they wear clothes and shoes.

Yao Fan once heard Li Jing's advocacy on the road, saying that his family rule is to clear his throat first when he got up, and said, "Liang!" So as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was about to put on his clothes, and then as soon as he stretched out his feet, he was about to put on his boots, and then stood up, and the robe was about to be tied up. You can't stddle in the middle, otherwise you can punish the servants according to family rules.

Li Jingshu boasted to Yao Fan that his personal servant was agile, clever and eye-catching, and was not inferior to his personal servant.

Yao Fan was very unhappy when he heard this. He felt that the two sides of these people were really amazing. While reading the sages and yearning for civilization, he was insensitive to the slavery and inequality around him. He didn't know whether it was hypocrisy or subtle. He wished that this was the latter.

At ten o'clock on the morning of summer, the sun was drowsy.

The loess on the official road is dry and cracked, which is bumpy and uneven.

The weeds on both sides of the road are sparse, crawling on the ground, waiting for a heavy rain, so that they can spread the whole land like crazy.

The breeze in the wilderness keeps blowing, but it is not very sultry.

Yao Fan looked at his hands holding the bicycle faucet and sighed. These days, these white hands, which had been soaked in factories and offices, have completed the process of sun exposure from white to red, and then from red to thick.

Listening to the copper bell hanging on the mouth of the cage in the Li family's motorcade, Yao Fan slowly pedaled the car and followed the motorcade slowly. He is surrounded by Li Jingshu, who is like a fart worm, and also rides a bicycle and walk side by side with him.

Suddenly, there were bursts of horses' hoofs in the wind in front of us, and the sound changed from far to near, from small to large, and finally the drum beat sounded in front of the convoy.

Everyone suddenly became alert, the convoy stopped moving forward, and Fubo took his family to the front to see what was going on.

I saw twelve officers and soldiers coming in front of me. When one person was more than 20 meters away from the convoy, he grabbed the horse's head with a sound and turned over and quickly. After running forward for more than a dozen steps, when he saw Fubo's face clearly, he immediately rushed down in front of Fubo and shouted, "Zhou Juelong, the general of Shandong, see General Duan!"

Hearing this, Fubo didn't hear it. He was silent for a moment and said, "There is no General Duan here. I am the steward of the Li family, Duan Fu."

Zhou Juerong looked up, opened his mouth, looked at Fubo in a frenze, then lowered his head and whispered, "Zhou Juerong has seen steward Duan! I came to welcome the prince and steward Duan by the order of Ding, the governor of Shandong and the commander of Shandong.

Yao Fan listened from behind and said to himself, "It turns out that Fubo's surname is Duan."

Fu Bo waved his hand and said generously, "Open the way in front of you. Don't make noise when you enter the city."

Zhou Juerong, the general of Shandong, shouted "chirp" and immediately turned back to get on the horse, leading the way with the horse team more than 30 meters ahead.

Yao Fan said to Li Jingju, "Oh, you are quite good. Before you enter the city, there are officials coming to welcome you? You are not Ding Baozhen's son, are you?

Li Jingshu laughed and said, "Brother Yao, you look down on me too much. My father's surname is Li. How dare I change my ancestral surname? Ding Baozhen is familiar with my father. Early this morning, Fubo sent a subordinate to ride to the city to report the news first. Naturally, he has to make sense on the scene.

Yao Fanxin said that you are a dead boy, and you still want to be sloppy with me. But he didn't ask and pretended not to care as usual.

So a large group of Yao Fan's caravan and the Li family's motorcade followed the horse team and entered the gate of Jinan quietly.

A few days ago, Yao Fan and the Li family entered Zibo City. The Li family also took out a road guide and a note, and Yao Fan also had to pay taxes in addition. Today, it was good. No one came up to cross the gate. From afar, I saw officers and soldiers lined up on both sides of the gate. From the gate to the official road outside the city, they were discharged along the road on both sides. There were about 100 people, one by one with bamboo hats made of bamboo hats, like melons, hanging their heads and standing on the road.

After entering Jinan City, he arrived at a wide and depressed street not far away. Yao Fan proposed to separate from the Li family.

"Brother Yao, where is your score? I'll come to see you tomorrow!" Li Jingshu got out of the carriage, looked up at the tall Yao Fan, and said reluctantly.

Farewell is always sad. After getting along with each other these days, Yao Fan also developed a friendship with the Li family, and he is no exception to this faint sadness.

He comforted Li Jingshu: "I haven't been there myself. I heard that it was in the area of the Empress Temple, so I took people here to look for it."

"Brother Yao, send someone to tell me as soon as you find it! So that I can visit you. Our brother is going to stay here for about ten years.

Yao Fan nodded, smiled and said nothing more, and bowed his hand to bid farewell to the third son of the Li family.

The third son of the Li family did not get on the car and slowly walked away with the carriage.

They were surrounded by guards, and there were cavalry in front of them slowly opening the way, full of appearance. During this period, Li Jingshu and Li Jingxuan kept looking back. Li Jingshu arched his hand to Yao Fan three times and waved his hand twice. Obviously, he was reluctant to part. Li Jingxuan didn't say a word, but just looked back repeatedly.

Yao Fan waved goodbye and looked at their backs disappearing in a corner in the distance. When I put down my hand, I felt quite emotional.

Yao Fan is not a saint, and of course he is not a hypocrite. He has also wavered.

Along the way, I listened to the three members of the Li family, especially Li Jing, telling him about the style that the big family should do. They listened to the family rules full of clothes to reach out and eat to open their mouths.

Yes, as long as Yao Fan thinks, he can live such a life.

His beautiful wife and concubine are surrounded by him; he has more than a dozen cubs; according to his grasp of history, find a protective umbrella and feel at ease as his rich and noble master.

"Even if I succeed in rebellion, China in my mind is not a monarchy country. Since I don't want to be emperor, do I have to toss around like this? If there is a mistake in this horse bandit incident, won't I die here?"

Yao Fan shook his head slightly and said to himself, "That will make me unhappy in my life..."

He Shicheng interrupted Yao Fan's myth and sighed, "My boss, what's the Li family's background? What a big show!"

Zhou Fourth said amazingly, "It must be the prince of the official family! I just saw this show, and I didn't dare to say a word!"

Yao Fan said lightly, "They are a mountain above us..."

He Shicheng tilted his head and muttered puzzled, "Dashan? On the head?"

After saying that, he looked up at the sky.

The sky is still blue, and it will not change in 10,000 years.
