Chapter 533 It’s Too Early

After Dad Zhu finished speaking, he walked directly to the study.

Du Fei was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhu Ting.

Zhu Ting was also a little confused. She didn't know what her father wanted to talk to Du Fei about.

But I heard clearly just now that Zhu's father only called Du Fei, but did not ask her to go.

Zhu Ting could still act coquettishly about other things, but going to the study had a different meaning. She didn't dare to mess around, so she could only nuzzle and tell him to hurry up.

Of course Du Fei was not afraid. After spending time together, Du Fei felt that this future father-in-law was not difficult to get along with.

When they arrived in the study, Du Fei was already familiar with it. He went straight to the tea cabinet and asked, "Uncle, what kind of tea do you want to drink?"

Dad Zhu did not go to the desk, but sat on the three-person sofa and said, "Jasmine~"

As he spoke, he leaned on the back of the sofa, took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose.

When Du Fei saw it, he knew that Zhu's father regarded him as one of his own, otherwise he would never show his tiredness and relaxation in front of outsiders.

After a while, Du Fei came over with two cups of tea, placed one cup in front of Dad Zhu, held a cup himself, and sat on the single seat next to him.

Dad Zhu closed his eyes to rest for a moment, put his eyes back on, and recovered.

He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked, "Mingfei came to see me yesterday."

When Du Fei heard this, he knew it was the Lou family's business.

Li Mingfei didn't pay much attention to the Lou family before. He thought he was just a outdated capitalist who could make decisions without asking his elders for instructions.

But Du Fei analyzed those things for him, making him realize that this matter might affect his whole body, so naturally he could no longer make his own decisions.

Especially since Du Fei knew about this matter, it wouldn't be good for Zhu's father to know it from Du Fei's mouth.

Therefore, Li Mingfei took the initiative to come over and report the situation the next day.

Dad Zhu continued, "You did a very good job in this matter."

Du Fei smiled and said politely, "Uncle Zhu, you are so complimentary."

He knew that Dad Zhu had not called him here specifically to praise him.

Moreover, the Lou family's affairs are really nothing in Dad Zhu's eyes.

Next, Dad Zhu took another two sips and was not in a hurry to continue.

Du Fei waited silently and drank tea too.

There is a ceiling fan on the roof of the study room. When I came in just now, it was already turned on and it was turning slowly and slowly.

After about two or three minutes, Dad Zhu suddenly sighed and said, "Xiao Fei, why do you think the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop?"

Du Fei frowned, vaguely guessing Dad Zhu's current situation.

Originally, the Zhu family, the Chu family, and the Xiao family formed an alliance to protect each other, but the Chu family and the Xiao family have already shown a posture of giving in.

Only Dad Zhu's position gave him no room for concession and he had to face huge pressure from all sides.

Du Fei thought for a while and asked, "Someone wants to force you to take sides?"

Dad Zhu was very satisfied with Du Fei's keen reaction and said slowly, "What would you do if it were you?"

Du Fei frowned, picked up the teacup, and fell into long thought.

Dad Zhu didn’t rush and waited patiently.

Five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes...

It was almost twenty minutes before Du Fei took a deep breath.

During this period, Dad Zhu did not show any impatience.

Du Fei put down his teacup, raised his head and said, "Uncle Zhu, since you asked me to tell you, I will tell you. Please give me some advice."

Dad Zhu nodded, "You say~"

Du Fei was so busy that he said, "If you have to take sides, it will be easy."

"Oh?" Dad Zhu became interested after hearing the first sentence. The question has been bothering him recently.

, and several very wise old friends couldn't come up with a clue. How come it was easier to get to Du Fei?

Young man, it’s really hard to say anything shocking.

Du Fei continued, "Just stand on the side of the winner."

Dad Zhu couldn't help but be stunned. Even though he was as rich as Yuan, Du Fei couldn't stop him.

There's nothing wrong with that.

At the end, I added the words ‘no, it’s okay’ to emphasize that it’s really simple.

But after several contacts, Dad Zhu knew that Du Fei was not frivolous.

Since he said this, he must have an explanation. He asked in a deep voice, "How do you know who is the winner?"

Du Fei had just been thinking about it for so long. Although he couldn't say he was completely confident, he still had a general outline. He said slowly, "Uncle, I don't know if you have heard of this saying, history always repeats itself."

Dad Zhu said "Hmm" and said, "Hegel said it."

Du Fei was not surprised that Dad Zhu could tell the origin of this sentence.

Although it is not Hegel's original words, it basically means the same thing.

Du Fei continued, "So to deconstruct the present, we only need to look to history for answers."

Dad Zhu frowned, somewhat disapproving of it.

Because "history is always surprisingly similar" and the second half of the sentence is "but it is not a simple repetition."

But he was not in a hurry to express his position.

Du Fei went on to say, "If you peel back history, I think the most valuable reference should be the Hongwu period in the early Ming Dynasty."

Dad Zhu's frown deepened, and when he noticed Du Fei paused, he nodded and said, "Go on."

If Dad Zhu doesn’t agree with the point of view just mentioned, there is no need to say what follows.

But since Dad Zhu wanted to hear it, Du Fei simply showed off, "Zhu Yuanzhang also came from a lower class, had great talents, had seen real suffering among the people, had unparalleled will, and had a strong desire to hope that his subjects could live a fair and prosperous life." . During the Hongwu period, major cases occurred frequently, from Hu Weiyong to Li Shanchang to Lan Yu, often involving tens of thousands of people. What was Zhu Yuanzhang’s purpose?

Because Zhu’s father’s surname is Zhu, he is particularly knowledgeable about the history of the Ming Dynasty.

But he guessed that Du Fei must have other ideas.

Du Fei said, "Actually, to put it bluntly, he wanted to curb the expansion of the Xungui class in the early Ming Dynasty, prevent the dynasty from being swallowed up by the unrestricted Xungui class, and prevent the Ming Dynasty from repeating the mistakes of the Han, Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties. The reason why he attacked so harshly , just to set a benchmark for future generations, even if it is discounted, it can still shock Xiao Xiao. "

Dad Zhu's heart trembled, "You mean now..."

Du Fei said, "When it comes to the founding emperors of the past dynasties, there are two people I admire the most, one is Qin Shihuang and the other is Zhu Hongwu. Other founding emperors, such as Liu Bang, Li Yuan, and Zhao Kuangyin, never thought of fundamentally changing anything. Qin Shihuang abolished enfeoffment and promoted The construction of Chidao in counties and counties brought China into a new era and laid the foundation for great unification. Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to use imperial power to suppress the entire landlord bureaucracy, so that the common people in the world could have fields and food, so that they would not rise up again in the future. "

Dad Zhu listened carefully. Although he did not completely agree with Du Fei's statement, he could hear the implication of Du Fei's metaphor of the past and the present.

Immediately afterwards, Du Fei changed the subject, "But what happened in the end? The Ming Dynasty still died in 276, and it did not cross the threshold of three hundred years. Obviously Zhu Yuanzhang failed. There are many reasons why he failed, and we will not do it today. discuss."

Du Fei took a breath and looked at Zhu's father, "Back to the issue of lining up, Zhu Biao died of illness too early..."

Speaking of Zhu Biao, Zhu’s father couldn’t help but feel excited.

Trembling, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he sighed, "If Zhu Biao had not died early, there would have been no Jingnan War, which was a waste of national power and a waste of people and money."

Du Fei heard what he was saying and didn't dare to answer.

Then he said, "Now we just need to find out who Zhu Di is!"

Dad Zhu restrained his emotions. The lenses of his glasses were somewhat reflective under the light, and Du Fei couldn't see his eyes clearly.

For a moment, neither of them spoke.

After waiting for a while, Zhu's father took the lead and said, "It's too early to say who Zhu Di is. As long as Zhu Yuanzhang is still there, Zhu Di can only be a hidden dragon. A hidden dragon in the abyss is not a Tao."

Du Fei smiled and continued, "You are right, but having said that, since the dragon is hiding in the abyss, can we explain that none of the gentlemen in the hall are Zhu Di?"

Dad Zhu’s eyes narrowed.

It turns out that Du Fei has come full circle, and this is the key!

At this moment, even Zhu’s father couldn’t stop his heartbeat from racing.

There is no winner~ Is there really no winner?

He was not sure about Du Fei's judgment.

But this undoubtedly gave him a new way of thinking.

Although Dad Zhu is under a lot of pressure now, he is not a pushover.

What Dad Zhu is really worried about is not the present, but the future.

With Du Fei's words today, he immediately felt that the pressure was drastically reduced.

Although what Du Fei said seemed to be mechanical, he had to admit that there was indeed some truth behind it.

Next, Dad Zhu sent Du Fei out because he needed to think about some issues quietly by himself.

Du Fei left the study and couldn't help but rub his temples.

Should I say it or not, the hour just now was really taxing on my brain cells.

Zhu Ting was sitting in the living room watching TV. Zhu's mother was not there, she probably went upstairs.

Hearing the sound of the door, Zhu Ting immediately stood up and came over. She couldn't help but feel a little distressed when she saw Du Fei rubbing her temples.

But he didn't ask what Zhu's father said to Du Fei just now. He pulled Du Fei to sit on the sofa and said gently, "Close your eyes and I'll rub them for you."

Du Fei was happy to enjoy the beauty's service, he smiled and rested his head on Zhu Ting's lap...

It's almost nine o'clock in the evening.

Du Feicai rode his bicycle and returned to the courtyard.

Because tomorrow is Sunday, many gentlemen and ladies in the courtyard are not in a hurry to go to bed.

There were more than a dozen people chatting and talking in the middle courtyard.

Bang Gong'er is unstoppable and still practicing.

Seeing Du Fei coming back with his cart, he shouted excitedly, "Uncle Du, we are releasing the results today."

When Du Fei saw him like this, he knew that he must have done well in the exam and asked, "How high is his ranking?"

Bang Bang'er scratched his head and said, "Class nineteen."

Du Fei was really surprised. His performance at the end of the crane was really great, but he didn't expect that after working hard for several months, he really saw improvement!

Although being ranked 19th in the class is not very high, for Bangpoler, it is definitely quite eye-catching.

Du Fei patted Bang Bang'er on the shoulder, "Okay, man! Well... I'll reward you with all the eggs laid by the old hen tomorrow."

Banggian's eyes lit up and he said quickly, "Thank you, Uncle Du!"

When his mother and his grandma heard about his achievements before, although they were happy and praised him, they were all verbal, and it was only with Du Fei that they saw the benefits.

Unexpectedly, Qin Huairou came out of home and happened to hear her words. She immediately said, "Xiao Du, if you can pamper him, just give him a few words of praise for his progress. What kind of reward can I give him~"

In fact, after Du Fei finished speaking just now, he felt that he had made a mistake.

What reward would you like to give?

, you can just give it in private, why bother saying it in public.

As the saying goes, don't worry about scarcity, but worry about inequality.

Banggun'er is a child, but other people's children in the courtyard are not children?

Taking advantage of Qin Huairou's words, Du Fei said with a smile, "Sister Qin, you are not spoiling your children. Besides, they are not just great. The children in our courtyard, as long as they take the final exam, they will be among the top twenty in the class." Can you come to me and get the eggs?"

The people in the courtyard didn't expect Du Fei to be so generous.

In fact, I can't give out much. There are countless children who come to school in the courtyard, and I really can't count how many children are good at studying.

Only Xiaojun, from the uncle's family, raised his hand and said, "Uncle Du, um, I'm fifteenth in the class."

Xiaojun is smart and sensible, but he fell behind in his studies before, and this time he only ranked 15th in the class.

Xiaodang, who is in the same class as Xiaojun, ranked over 20.

Du Fei smiled and said, "Not bad, I'll give it to you the day after tomorrow. Go get it with your brother Banggan after school."

Xiaojun was overjoyed and thanked him quickly.

The old man next to him also felt proud. Although his family didn't lack two eggs, how could the reward for the child's exam be the same!

When Du Fei returned to the backyard, Qin Huairou followed him as she was going to see the old lady.

As soon as she entered the Moon Gate, she complained, "Look at you, why give me eggs for no reason? When you come back with ten or eight, I wonder where you can eat eggs."

Du Fei pinched her butt and said with a smile, "If I can't eat eggs, I'll drink more milk. Anyway, I won't be hungry."

Qin Huairou blushed and slapped his hand away nervously, "Don't, people will see it!"

She took two quick steps, smiled back, and went into the old lady's room.

The next morning.

July 24, 1966, Sunday.

Du Fei slept until 8:30 before opening his eyes.

Last night, he fought with Qin Huairou, the foxy woman, until midnight, and it was already past twelve o'clock when he fell asleep.

Even so, Du Fei didn't wake up naturally.

He actually dreamed that he became Sun Wukong and was pressed under the Five Elements Mountain.

He felt something was wrong in his dream, and thought that it was probably Xiao Wu who was making trouble again.

But in the dream, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't shake the Five Elements Mountain pressing on him.

He felt more and more stuffy until he finally opened his eyes.

But he found his face was hairy.

This time, Xiaowu didn't sit on his chest, but lay directly on his face.

If it was winter, Du Fei would have endured it, at least it would be warm.

But now it's so stuffy in the dog days of summer, it's so hot that it's killing me!

Du Fei couldn't help but get angry and his heart was filled with evil.

He suddenly grabbed Xiaowu with both hands, and then there was a "meow" sound, a shrill scream...

It was almost noon.

Du Fei came to Shichahai with a box of beer and soda.

The beer and soda were chilled with big ice cubes yesterday, and then put in the portable space.

Just when he was about to get here, he found a place to take it out and put it on the rear rack of the bicycle.

Xiaowu looked unlucky, lying on the soda stuck upside down in the beer box.

The body felt cold, so it decided to temporarily put aside its grudge against its owner.

Came to the courtyard.

Zhu Ting had already arrived and was chatting with Yu Xinxin in the courtyard.

Chen Fangshi, the old pervert, was hiding in the house, enjoying the company of his wife.
