Fangfu's courtyard was very deserted, 'bang' slammed his hand on the table, the tea cup sounded a crisp sound of colliding with the tabletop, the wood was carved with flowers and the moon was full, the curtains on both sides floated softly on both sides, Fang Dezheng was leaning on the soft pillow of the big red peony flower on his back, sitting on the bed with an ugly face, wearing a black coat on his body, looking gloomy and a little terrifying.

Tang Yiyun slapped the table angrily, sat down abruptly, and looked at Fang Dezheng in despair, "How is it possible... Isn't that ......?"

"The warlord sent a small team of people to take over, and after a while this yamen was dismantled and replaced with a police inspection bureau, and all the affairs of salt transportation were handed over to the warlords. Fang Dezheng said in a calm voice, his eyes looked at Tang Yiyun, "I told you to take back all the money you put outside, did you accept it?"

"It's... Where is this urgency, the people below are shouting that it is not time, and they will not give money. Tang Yiyun has always been tough, but at the moment she was also panicked, helplessly twisting her handkerchief and frowning, "This... How so. ”

Fang Dezheng coughed weakly twice at this moment, "Keep an eye on that little rabbit cub, and tell him not to go out and make trouble during this time." ”

"You mean Vigoer?"

"Isn't there anyone else?" Fang Dezheng glared, "Now that there is an army patrolling outside, in case you offend someone, there is no room to turn around." ”

"Got it. Tang Yiyun responded, her face still worried, "It's just that this imperial examination is gone, what can Vigoer do, so won't all these years of hard work be in vain?"

Fang Dezheng heard Tang Yiyun's crying voice, and his head throbbed, "Wait for someone to come, and then dredge up the relationship, you are a woman, just do what you need to do." ”

"Yes, listen to the master. Tang Yiyun snorted and said, suddenly thought of something, raised his head and asked, "This kind of action, Yanqing's marriage, should it be delayed?"

Fang Dezheng heard Tang Yiyun's words, frowned and looked at Tang Yiyun's face, and listened to Tang Yiyun continue, "The third wife of the Wei family came to me to talk about family affairs, but with such an action, is the Wei family's help to our family less, the fourth young lady and the eldest young master of their family are in the capital, the water is very deep, don't make it difficult to involve our family." ”

Fang Dezheng thought carefully about Tang Yiyun's words, felt that what Tang Yiyun said was reasonable, and nodded, "Drag it first, and then drag it until the situation is clear." ”

At this moment, Fang Wei was nesting in the gentle township, smelling the rouge, holding grapes in his mouth, a beauty in one hand, and smiling happily.

"Fang Shao, that little girl outside the door has been waiting for several hours, do you want to call in?" The beauty's voice was tactful, and she touched Fang Wei's chest while holding Fang Wei wine.

"What are you calling in for? Fang Wei took the wine glass, kissed the neck of the beauty, and provoked the woman next to him to snort.

Liu Yunfang, who was sitting in her yard, was restless at the moment, she had already received a message from Tang Yiyun, asking her to call Fang Wei back, but the girls had sent several of them, but they couldn't see Fang Wei, I heard that there was a lot of chaos outside now, and I didn't know what my father-in-law was doing.

"Young grandma, those buildings are guarded, and I don't see the young master. The girl at the bottom walked in and preached.

"Didn't you see it?" Liu Yunfang stood up, the child in her belly has been more than two months now, the first three months are the most unstable time, easy to move the fetus, and now she stands up violently, and she is still a little dizzy, Liu Yunfang gritted her teeth and said, "That silver, stuff a little bit on my mother and mother-in-law, and then take all the little guys in the house, and I have to tie people back, just say that it was shouted by my wife." ”

In fact, he didn't dare to move Fang Wei, after all, after enduring Fang Wei's unhappiness, Fang Wei wouldn't care about anything, and would directly make fun of himself, but now his wife's side is not easy to explain, the two parties have a more important one, so in comparison, it is still important to tie Fang Wei back first.

The girl at the bottom replied yes and retreated, and Liu Yunfang sat back in her chair and rubbed the corners of her forehead with a headache.

"Girl, gossip, listen?"

Fang Yanqing took a brush and drew a map on rice paper, he had seen the map of the world before, and the map of his own country, and probably had an impression, but the map of the Qing government was not clear, and he couldn't remember the corners or anything, so he had to draw a rough sketch, and he was drawing the outside, dividing the provinces into regions, and he heard the voice of the girl.

"What gossip?" Fang Yanqing pursed his lips and smiled, "I sent you to be very fond of gossip during this time. ”

"It's not that the girl goes out less, I'm afraid that the girl will be bored. Qing girl smiled, and took out a small paper bag of chestnuts from behind her, "I bought them when I just went out, fresh chestnuts, just fried, I tasted them, I thought they were delicious, so I bought them back." As he spoke, he poured out all the chestnuts in his pocket and put them in a fruit bowl on the side, and then brought them to the side of Fang Yanqing.

The heat of the chestnut fry hurts, exudes a thought, and smells very fragrant, Fang Yanqing picked up a chestnut, and couldn't help shrinking his hand when he was hot, and hurriedly blew on the chestnut in his palm.

"I forgot to tell the girl to be careful of the burn. Qing Yatou said, and hurriedly took another empty fruit bowl and put it next to Fang Yanqing, "Girl, why don't you throw it in it first, and eat it later." ”

Fang Yanqing shook his head, feeling that the chestnuts exuding heat in his hand were slowly becoming less hot, before he said, "It's okay, this should be eaten while it's hot." ”

Qing Yatou nodded, and also brought a small round stool to Fang Yanqing's side, picked up the chestnut and peeled it, while looking at the map drawn by Fang Yanqing, and asked, "Girl, what is this strange circle-like thing?"

Fang Yanqing looked at Qing Yatou with some amusement and explained, "This is the map, the map of our country. ”

"Map?" The girl put her head in, looked at it twice, nodded thoughtfully, and said, "I continued what I just said, the old man woke up today, said that he drove the girl and the mother-in-law out, and whispered in the house with the wife for a while, the wife did not look very good as soon as she came out, and her face seemed to be angry at any time. ”

"Collect the profits?" Fang Yanqing's hand shook with the pen, it was only the middle of October, and he said that the rent and profits would be settled at the end of the year, although some families would collect more money, but this was too much, "Isn't this due yet?"

"No, the butler has been talking about it for a long time. Qing girl nodded and said.

"I suddenly had some idea. Fang Yanqing said in a low voice, this is not for Qing Yatou, but as if to say it to herself, the situation suddenly changed, and Tang Yiyun's reaction was also fast, but I don't know if this matter will affect me, such as the matter of my marriage with the Wei family, thinking about the brush in my hand I pinched it tighter.

Qing Yatou didn't hear the dialect clear whisper, and turned her head slightly, "Girl, what did you just say?"

"Nothing?" Fang Yanqing shook his head with a smile, circled Shanghai with a brush, and made three crosses in Sichuan, Hunan, and Hubei, separating the brush from the side.

There was a soft sound, a long whistle in the distance, with a huge steam chirp, accompanied by the huge sound of the wheels of the train, the rhythmic speed slowed down, slowly stopped at the edge of the platform, and arrived at Shanghai East Railway Station.

Wei Chao walked out slowly with his luggage in one hand, Zhou Dong followed behind Wei Chao, there were two people holding signs outside the train station, and when they saw Wei Chao and Zhou Dong coming down, they hurriedly waved their hands.

Zhou Dong also saw the person who had been waving his hand, looked at Wei Chao and said, "I'll go back to my house first, let's see you tomorrow." ”

Zhou Dong's father is the president of the Oriental Publishing House, and his mother is a broken Miss Guan, although he has played well with Wei Chao since he was a child, but he doesn't live in a bunch, and the drivers of the two families are now waiting for people together, and when they get in the car later, they will drive their own.

Wei Chao nodded, "It's been hard all the way, go back and rest first." ”

Hand the luggage to the driver, pull the car door and sit in the back seat, the train is very slow, did nearly two days to return to Shanghai, the position is small, the bench is hard, it is really uncomfortable, with the thumb and index finger pinched the eyebrows and rubbed, looked at the driver who was driving, and asked, "How is the situation these days?

"I'm embarrassed, I'm not embarrassed," Xiao Zhao watched his young master tired all the way, he was very sleepy at the moment, and he didn't want to bother, but since the young master took the initiative to ask, it didn't hurt to say something himself, "This is the warlord and the government of the Republic of China forcing the lord to express his position, pestering the lord day by day, and the old men in the chamber of commerce are staring at it, forcing them to donate money and materials." ”

When Wei Chao heard Xiao Zhao's words, he rubbed his dry eyes, the army needs money, people need money, food needs money, and weapons also need money, but where does this money come from, this trick of robbing the rich and helping the poor is the most slippery they play, and this time they are not dead and peeling their skin.

The car finally stopped outside a small western-style building, the maid inside the door hurriedly opened the iron door, the car drove in along the flower platform, and stopped at the edge of the dam outside the small western-style building, Wei Chao got out of the car, and the car drove along the road to the parking room, and walked into the building, the maid inside was wiping the table, and when she saw that the avant-garde was back, she hurriedly stood up and shouted, "The young master is back." ”

Wei Chao nodded and asked, "What about my father?"

"The master is in the study. ”

Hearing the maid's answer, Wei Chao nodded, walked towards the study, stood outside the door, and looked at the door three times with his fingers.

"Who is it?" asked from inside the room.

"It's me, father. Wei Chao replied.

Hearing that it was Wei Chao's voice, the people inside paused for a moment, and then said, "Come in." ”

Wei Chao twisted the doorknob and opened the door, there were some papers piled up on the big mahogany table, a small lamp was placed on the side, and there was a phone next to it, Wei Shimu held a pen in his right hand, pinched the paper in his left hand, looked up at Wei Chao, and said, "I'm back." ”

"Hmm. Wei Chao agreed, his father's face was a little thin, he should have been tired recently, with gold-rimmed glasses on his face, a pair of tired eyes, a dark gray waistcoat and white shirt, and a suit behind the chair.

Wei Shimu looked at his dusty son and said, "You go take a rest first, take a shower, and come back to talk later, I didn't want to call you back, but I've been too busy lately." ”

"I know," Wei Chao smiled and said, "It just so happens that I have fallen in love with someone in my hometown, and when I am done, I can take my father back to my hometown to have a look." ”
