Chapter 232 Qian Qianyi
(Thank you for your two monthly tickets from China Chao~~)
In the past two or three days, there have been vicious incidents in Nanjing where Ming Pao boys were beaten up, which has aroused great indignation among the people of Nanjing. Although Qian Qianyi was named the president of the newspaper, he never cared about the matter. All the affairs of the newspaper were handled by Gu Hengbo, Chen Zhenhui, Hou Fangyu and others, so he didn't know that the matter was getting worse.
On this day, Qian Qianyi was enjoying the root sculpture at his residence in Nanjing.
Qian Qianyi is an elegant man and has a wide range of interests. Although he is 60 years old, he is still strong in muscles and bones. The more than ten carvings displayed in the garden were carved by him one by one.
"Play!"
After slapped twice, Qian Qianyi stood up and looked at the root carving he had trimmed with satisfaction, making it even more ancient and simple.
"Master, Master, Hedong Jun is here!"
At this time, an old servant called out.
"Oh? Please!"
Qian Qianyi was overjoyed and turned around quickly.
Qian Qianyi and Liu Rushi's relationship is between a confidant and a lover. If you want to be in harmony, you will not have a super friendly relationship. In modern terms, Liu Rushi pursues a platonic spiritual love, has strong opinions, and seeks spiritual fusion.
Liu Rushi once admired Chen Zilong and moved to Chen Zilong's house next door despite Chen Zilong's wife's situation. However, he still couldn't stand the pain of longing for love, so he simply lived in Chen's house. Chen's wife was jealous and drove Liu Rushi out. The relationship ended without success.
Later in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Liu Rushi met Qian Qianyi. He met Qian Qianyi at first sight and met again two years later. Qian Qianyi narrowed the distance between the two in the name of Rushi, and traveled together to travel around the mountains and rivers. But to Qian Qianyi's surprise, one year later, when he was sure that Liu Rushi had fallen in love with him, he hinted at the marriage and used marriage as bait as bait, but was rejected by Liu Rushi politely.
Qian Qianyi felt awkward about this and secretly sent someone to investigate and follow Liu Rushi. He did not find that Liu Rushi was too close to some men. This made him very depressed, so he moved to Nanjing from his hometown in Changshu to purchase real estate, lived next to Liu Rushi, looking for opportunities, and further.
Today, Liu Rushi visited him, which really surprised him. He quickly straightened his clothes and took a photo on the lake.
Um!
Although he is in his sixties, his beard and hair are still black, and his face is not many wrinkles, which makes him look younger than ordinary people in their forties.
In a moment, Liu Rushi, dressed in men's clothing, rushed in quickly.
"Sir Liu, are you safe?"
Qian Qianyi bowed and laughed.
Liu Rushi is his unique kind.
Liu Rushi said with a cold face: "Brother Muzhai (Qian Qianyi) has been in a turmoil outside, why do you still have the leisure to make flowers and plants?"
"What a stir?"
Qian Qianyi was puzzled.
"snort!"
Liu Rushi snorted: "Everyone is rumoring that the Liujiuan sent people to threaten and beat the newspaper boys in Ming Pao because of poor sales. Several incidents have occurred. In the past two days, the Liujiuan has almost no one to care about it. Why don't you know at all?"
Qian Qianyi showed shock!
After a while, Qian Qianyi didn't dare to believe it: "How could this be? What did Hou Fangyu and Chen Zhenhui do? How could they use such despicable means?"
Liu Rushi asked, "Brother Muzhai, don't you understand?"
"What do you understand?"
Qian Qianyi said in a daze.
The word "Five Famous Name" suddenly popped up in Liu Rushi's heart. According to conscience, Liu Rushi had a good impression of Qian Qianyi, and almost had the idea of marrying Qian Qianyi last year. However, Ming Pao's appearance made her hesitate because she was an independent woman, and Ming Pao brought new thinking and new horizons, which made her spirit solemnly baptized. Looking back, Qian Qianyi's thoughts seemed backward, conservative, and incompatible. She was worried that she would still resonate with Qian Qianyi after marriage, so she was hesitant.
You should know that for people like her, ideological differences and spiritual breaks are the most painful. She may not care about Qian Qianyi's old age, but whether the two people's hearts can resonate with each other.
Now it seems that the problem between her and Qian Qianyi is no longer a crack in her thoughts, but Qian Qianyi is mediocre, willing to enjoy herself, numb and mediocre. He doesn't know that such a big thing happened to the outside world, which makes her feel unconcealed disappointment with Qian Qianyi.
At the same time, I was a little lucky, thanking that I was not very nervous and married Qian Qianyi.
Liu Rushi said calmly on the surface, "I have asked Mr. Chen and Mr. Hou, both of whom said they were not asking someone for help. I also believe that they would not use such despicable means. In this way, Commander Li must have been reluctant to take advantage of the great victory of Linqing and began to clean up."
"snort!"
Qian Qianyi snorted: "I knew that the person named Li was not a good guy. It's okay, I'll expose his true face!"
Liu Rushi said anxiously: "What are you trying to expose? Mr. Chen and Mr. Hou have quarreled the rumors more than once, but the more they smeared, the darker they became. No one believed anything now. Do you think your name, the leader of the Shilin, is useful? Don't forget that most of the people who read the newspapers are small citizens, but they don't care about the Donglin Restoration Society. What I am worried about now is that you are the president of the newspaper. Even if you don't care about the matter, the fire will eventually burn on your head. I'm afraid your lifetime reputation will be destroyed!"
"Or...we also find someone to pick up our newspaper boy and then smear them to Ming Pao?"
After thinking about it, Qian Qianyi said.
Liu Rushi was suddenly disappointed with Qian Qianyi. She didn't understand what kind of person he could come up with such a childish idea. No wonder Qian Qianyi was obviously a Tanhualang in the 38th year of Wanli, but he had never made any achievements in his official career. At the highest point, he was the Minister of Rites. Then he was excluded by Wen Tiren and stepped down from office, indulging in the mountains and rivers, and lingering in his fame.
‘It seems that I am highly regarded by him!’
Liu Rushi shook his head secretly and said, "Nothing is useful now. Although Commander Li's methods are despicable, he must admit that this person is extremely experienced in grasping people's hearts. He clearly caused you to suffer a loss. You also understand in your heart, but there is no place to seek grievances. I heard Xiangjun and Hengbo talk about it. Mr. Hou and Mr. Chen were so angry that they cursed all night. In the end, the two Dinglings got drunk. Just like that, they were still scolding Commander Li. In fact, it is not surprising that those who can conquer the world cannot use any means. You should think about yourself. Being a short president will be covered with fishy smell."
"this……"
Qian Qianyi was frowning tightly, and Liu Rushi's maid suddenly ran in panting and shouted, "Girl, girl, Tang Yan, the agent of Mingpao Nanjing Distribution Office, just now, took his subordinates to the government office to block Sun Baigu, and asked him to give an explanation for the attack on the newspaper boy. I saw it with my own eyes that there were hundreds of people holding signs at the door, which said fair competition, severe punishment for the murderer, etc., and shouted slogans from time to time. Later, the verdict came out to comfort him and said that Sun Baigu was not in the government office, and this matter would be investigated strictly. Mingpao's talents gradually dispersed, and many people saw it.
But girl, you probably didn't expect that, not long after the people had dispersed, Tang Yan was beaten again, and the maid ran over to take a look. Oh, the ground was covered with blood. I heard that Tang Yan was beaten by several strong men and got a brick on his forehead!"
"It's simply arrogance!"
Qian Qian cursed angrily.
"yes!"
The maid echoed: "Report is crazy. He dared to hit people in full view of everyone. It seems that he was throwing apart. He didn't want to do it anymore, right?"
"You go out first!"
Liu Rushi's expression was not natural and muttered.
The maid was arrogant and muttered, "Girl, I really can't think of it. That young master Hou and Mr. Li look so handsome, how could they do such a crazy thing..."
"go out!"
Liu Rushi couldn't bear it anymore and shouted sternly.
"Girl...Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
The maid was very aggrieved, and stomped her feet and ran out with tears.
Liu Rushi shook his head and looked at Qian Qianyi. Sure enough, Qian Qianyi's face looked extremely ugly. The arrogant scolding was clearly a scolding Ming Pao, but the maid didn't know how to look at people's faces, and kept adding fuel to the fire.
"Brother Muzhai, Commander Li's methods are indeed very clever. The newspaper reconciliation should be over. I think you have to get out as soon as possible. Otherwise... you first post a message in the newspaper reconciliation to clarify that this matter has nothing to do with you. Then, after a while, Commander Li returned to Yangzhou and you go to meet him. Huaiyang was booming under his governance, and the Ming Dynasty was already a mess. You reconciliation with him will at least be of great benefit to your Qian family. After all, the newspaper reconciliation is just a trivial matter, and there is no need to keep an eye on it."
Liu Rushi advised again.
Qian Qianyi said unhappily: "It's not what I did, why should I clarify? Isn't it that there is no silver here? How do others think of me? What's more, Li Xin is full of misconceptions and disrespect for sages. I am ashamed to be with him. Don't talk about it again, Liu Rushi."
Liu Rushi stared at Qian Qianyi in a daze. Even as a friend, she hoped that Qian Qianyi would have a good result. However, obviously, Qian Qianyi was full of prejudice against Li Xin. This was a fundamental conflict of ideas and there was no possibility of reconciliation.
Qian Qianyi noticed Liu Rushi's expression, softened his heart, and sighed, "Rushi, I know you are kind, but the Li surname is a rebellious person. I have heard of it. He plans to write a book called "The Book of the Great Righteous Awakening" to refute Zhu Zi. How can he tolerate this? This is to be an enemy of the scholars in the world. If I am with him, will I read the sage books for so many years? Where is my conscience? Do I still want my face in the scholars?
Don’t mention this matter again, and I have to advise you, this year, you may have been influenced by Ming Pao without realizing it. You must be vigilant and reflect on yourself. Don’t defile your reputation!”
Liu Rushi suddenly discovered that the crack between her and Qian Qianyi could not be compensated. He couldn't help but recall the beautiful times in the past, and a look of confusion appeared in his beautiful eyes.
"Thank you, Brother Muzhai for your advice, I will say goodbye!"
Liu Rushi smiled bitterly, bowed his hand, and turned around and left.
"So!"
Qian Qianyi called out anxiously as if he was about to lose something.
Liu Rushi paused alone and accelerated without looking back!
