Fang Shaoqing finally sent away his cousin Fang Yishan, who was weird and angry, rubbing his forehead with a headache, feeling bored for a while.

Fang Yishan has been like this attitude these days, and he has changed his past closeness and flattery, thinking that he thinks that the official position of the head of the branch is no longer guaranteed, and the power is no longer necessary, so there is no need to be a little low, right? Although Fang Shaoqing himself is not sure whether Fang Yishan's accident is really a problem or he is implicated by himself, if Fang Yishan does not make a mistake in his own work, there is no reason for others to implicate him. It can be seen that Fang Yishan's catastrophe is his own fault in the final analysis.

But Fang Yishan was unwilling to accept this. He seems to be a little crazy, and insists on asking his grandson to come forward to save him, it is best for Fang Shaoqing to ask Mrs. Shang to come forward, otherwise he will have to pull other clansmen and pursue Fang Shaoqing as the patriarch of the clan but failed to protect the clansmen, but will also implicate the sins of the clansmen - Fang Yishan believes that today he can be convicted of being implicated by Fang Shaoqing, and it is impossible for other clansmen to escape, so most of the clansmen will definitely be willing to stand on his side out of their own interests. Fang Shaoqing was very troubled by this, although there was no third child in the clan who had an accident, he also heard the private discussions of the clansmen. If this continues, even if he doesn't have an accident, but is only demoted, he can still keep his official position, and his prestige in the clan will plummet, and he will really not be able to suppress the clansmen in the future.

This is still a relatively ideal situation, if his official position is not guaranteed, or he is demoted to the end, then there is no need to consider the status of the descendants in the clan. When King Ying rebelled against the case, and when his younger brother was involved, the prestige of the Yan branch was once frustrated. Fortunately, his official position is still the highest in the clan. There is also the legacy of his deceased father, so he calmed the field. If he really loses his official position this time, the hope of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix will be completely extinguished. Rather than continue to stay in Beijing and be angry, it is better to think of a way to seek a foreign appointment, and maybe live a decent life for a few years. As for who the Jingzhong clan is headed, he doesn't bother to pay attention. What is Fang Yishan? Did he still think that if he stepped on his feet, he would be proud? He just made a small mistake and panicked like this. also forced the grandson to ask the Shang family for help, but he had no bearing at all. How can such a person be the leader of the family?!

Fang Shaoqing was indignant. But thinking of his own situation, he began to sigh again. He admits that he was negligent, but this time it was really bad luck. If it weren't for the emperor who happened to ask, that little mistake. Just cover it up and pass. Successively served as the Zhengqing and Shaoqing of Taichang Temple. Who doesn't? Such an idle and decent errand can't be said to have real power, but it's just a nice talk. As long as there is no mistake in the big things, no one will be unable to get along with them. Can it be ...... But he caught up with the emperor when he was in a bad mood!

Fang Shaoqing also complained a little about Shang Qiubo, his cousin who was the Taifu. Anyway, he is also a cousin, and he didn't make any big mistakes, just a little mistake. Why is Shang Qiubo so cold, he is not even willing to ask for a favor for him? His eldest daughter Huizhu did act as Meng Lang in the past, and she shouldn't have calculated Shang Qiong. But his husband and wife came forward in person to compensate, no matter how popular Rao is Shang family is. You shouldn't be putting up a fight at this time, right? If he really resigned from his post and lost his position, could it be that there was a light on the face of the Shang family?

Someone walked in outside the door. Fang Shaoqing was still a little annoyed at first, thinking that his subordinates had not come to disturb his contemplation at this time, but when he looked up and saw that it was his wife, he went to be annoyed, and asked with some concern: "How is it?" Have they all been sent away? ”

Mrs. Fang went to deal with Fang Yishan's wife and daughter, and they also brought several concubines from the clan, in order to find Fang Fifth Girl to speak, and her words were not inferior, and Fang Fifth Girl ordered her mother-in-law to "invite" her out of the house. Both of them have heard what their youngest daughter has said, and what their niece said is really too much, and it is also suspected of insulting the elders. But as soon as the fourth girl went home to cry, Mrs. Fang Yishan was not happy, so she took her two daughters and called a few concubines to come to Mrs. Fang to seek "justice". Fang Yishan also came to make trouble with his cousin, and the husband and wife should be together, which really made Fang Shaoqing and his wife distressed.

Mrs. Fang's face was tired at this time, and her face was also very bad: "I finally sent people away." Today temporarily shocked them, and if something happens in the future, I am afraid that they will not be able to suppress it. After speaking, she gritted her teeth again: "Fourth brother and sister, she actually ...... She even asked us Injoo to apologize to her! I also plan to tell Injoo to her maiden nephew, and I don't want to see what kind of character her nephew is, but she has the face to open this mouth! ”

Fang Shaoqing's face also turned blue: "Good dog guts!" The fourth cousin is just a small Langzhong, and now he is also a guilty body, so he dares to have such delusions. If our descendants really lose power, we don't know how to be trampled on! This is also called kinship? ”

Mrs. Fang's eyes were red: "Master, since the palace has been cold, Renzhu has become cold, and the rumors outside have become more and more ugly." plus what Hui'er did before...... Now when I go out to other homes as a guest, I see that they have outstanding children and nephews, and if I ask a few more words, they will talk about it left and right. Our Hui'er and Renzhu'er are both first-class good children, if it weren't for bad luck, they would have entered the palace, and they were disliked to this point. Although the two children didn't say anything, I couldn't help but feel wronged for them in my heart......"

Fang Shaoqing sighed: "How can I not know that the children are wronged? It's just that the number of lives is like this, and we can only admit it. He comforted his wife again: "Don't think too much, Renzhu is still young, and it's not too late to find relatives in a few years." Besides, although the palace was cold to her, it didn't say anything bad about her, and the candidate for the eldest princess of the emperor had not been decided for the time being. Even if Renzhu really can't enter the palace, she is so talented and beautiful, she is not worried about marriage. It's Hui'er's family affair, and it can't be delayed any longer. In the final analysis, their sisters' reputations have been affected to this point, or she has done it herself! ”

Speaking of the eldest daughter Fang Huizhu, Mrs. Fang was depressed again. She was also very angry at her eldest daughter's self-assertions, but since the matter had already happened, it would be useless to scold more. Now that the eldest daughter seems to have known that she is wrong, she has restored her former well-behaved and supple manner. All she can do is to discipline her eldest daughter strictly, and then try her best to find a family affair for her eldest daughter. Mrs. Fang thought of the words of the grandmothers who were waiting for her, and solemnly asked Fang Shaoqing: "Hui'er's family affairs." What does the lord think of the second young master of Meishan Bofu? If you want to find a good one in Wenchen's house, I'm afraid you can't. However, the generals and nobles did not have much contact with the ministers, and the news was not well-informed. You can still hide it for a while. Besides, even if you can't hide it in the future, it's nothing. The daughter of our Fang family is still the eldest daughter of the Changfang family, and it is already a blessing for his family to be willing to marry into such a family as the second son-in-law. The second young master of Meishan Bofu is not an outstanding talent, and Hui'er is worthy of him. In fact, there are some grievances. ”

Fang Shaoqing frowned, now that he couldn't dislike anything anymore. Although marrying a noble will make him criticized in Shilin, there are also many civil officials who marry a noble, and his marriage to a daughter in the past is not shocking. A few words of gossip. He can still afford it.

He nodded to his wife, "That's it." You try your best to find a day, agree on things with Mrs. Meishanbo, and change Geng Ti as soon as possible, so as not to have many dreams in the future. ”

Mrs. Fang hesitated a little: "This ...... Always wait for the master's matter to pass...... "If Fang Shaoqing really resigns from the official, there is no need to talk about this marriage." Mention it now, it seems to be a bit of a hurry, even if Meishan Bofu agrees to the family affair, after Fang Huizhu marries. and be looked down upon.

Fang Shaoqing sighed: "Okay, let's wait for the matter to be decided." Actually, he also thought about it. If the family affair can be said, maybe the Qiu family is willing to say something for him in front of the emperor...... He really should have decided this family affair for his eldest daughter early, if the family matter had been decided early, it would be easier to ask the Qiu family for help now. If something happens, even if you really get out of trouble with the help of the Qiu family, you can't escape the bad reputation of a "selling girl", especially a famous scholar like them, it is very rare to marry a noble general. The daughter of the side branch will marry into the Cao family, and that is also because she was born in the side branch, and her mother died early, because her stepmother set up a family affair for her.

After deciding on a major matter, Mrs. Fang mentioned another small matter: "The eldest girl from the Jiannan Hou Mansion has sent a letter to Renzhu'er again." His family moved back to the Hou Mansion to put a warm house wine, and the post has been sent out, leaving only our family. If In-joo didn't give her the letter for a day, she didn't know whether to invite In-joo alone, or even our husband and wife. What do you think? Although the Jiannan Hou Mansion has no real power, the holy family is extremely long, and it may ...... Maybe they can help the master? ”

Fang Shaoqing smiled wryly: "I hope so, but ...... Our two families have never had anything to do with each other, and Hui'er is calculating the affairs of other girls, and the eldest girl of his family is willing to make friends with Renzhu, which is already very lucky, how can she be willing to help me? Besides, I am aiming to reflect at home, if it is not easy to go out, if I really go to the Jiannan Hou Mansion for a banquet and let others see it, it will inevitably cause trouble again. It's better if you take Injo Er with you. When I saw the old lady of his family, my attitude was softer and more respectful. Hengzhi is an elder, and it should be more respectful. ”

Mrs. Fang agreed, and then showed a wry smile: "When my father-in-law was here, our Fang family could be called the leader of the literary world, a model of the clear stream, and never dealt with the noble generals. Even if you are a prince, in front of us, you are just a local chicken and a dog. We respect it on our faces, and we disdain to be in it in our hearts. The biological mother of the fourth brother, as a stepfamily, married the original eldest daughter into a military general's family, and the whole family poked her backbone in the back. Unexpectedly, only 20 years have passed, and our grandson Changfang will also marry the noble family and make friends with the military generals. When I see my father-in-law in the future, I don't know what his old man will say. ”

Fang Shaoqing also showed a helpless look on his face: "Time has passed, for the sake of future generations, and bear with it for a while." ”

Mrs. Fang went to see her youngest daughter and informed her of her husband's decision. Fang Renzhu heard that her mother would accompany her to Zhao's house as a guest, and a happy smile appeared on her face: "That's great!" Miss Zhao just sent someone to ask me again, and I didn't know how to answer her. It was a very simple matter, but I am really sorry to drag it on for so long. ”

Mrs. Fang smiled and said, "Don't blame your father, he is also embarrassed. He was ordered to stay at home, and he couldn't go out. We, as family members, go out to feast at such times, so that people know and don't know what to say. But Miss Zhao treats you sincerely, if you don't come to the door to congratulate you, won't you live up to her relationship with you? So your father asked your mother to accompany you. When you arrive at the banquet, you may meet other guests and say something that you don't like. You just don't hear it, don't take it personally. When we went to the Hou Mansion, we went to Daohe, and others didn't have to pay attention to it. ”

Although Fang Renzhu agreed, he still had some doubts: "If it's just to congratulate, you don't have to come in person." Miss Zhao's temperament I know, she doesn't care about these vulgar etiquette. If we go to her house, the other guests will speak out against us, and I hope she will speak up. When the time comes, she offends the guest, and it's not mine. ”

Mrs. Fang hurriedly said: "We didn't come to the door just to congratulate us. Your father's business ......" she paused and said with some embarrassment, "The Holy Grace of the Marquis of Jiannan, if they are willing to plead for your father in front of the emperor......"

Fang Renzhu's face changed slightly, and Mrs. Fang hurriedly said, "Good boy, just think it's for your father!" ”

Fang Renzhu was silent for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Mother, why can't I understand this?" My father is in trouble, and as a daughter, if I can ask for something, I should naturally ask for it. Could it be that in the mother's heart, the daughter doesn't even understand filial piety? ”

Mrs. Fang breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this: "It's my mother who wants to fork it, you are a very sensible and filial child." ”

Fang Renzhu said: "If you want to ask the Zhao family for help, it doesn't seem appropriate to wait until the day of the banquet." At that time, there will definitely be people coming and going, and the Zhao family has a small population, and Miss Zhao may be busy greeting guests, and she doesn't even have the time to accompany me to say a few more words, let alone sit down with me in the other room to talk in detail. Therefore, if you want to ask her for help, it is better to ask in advance. I'll go to her house and ask to see her. If it doesn't work out, you can have a word today. It would be nice if she could help. If she can't help, her father and mother can find another help as soon as possible, so as not to lose time. ”

Mrs. Fang was surprised: "Now...... Now in the past? Wouldn't it be too hasty? She panicked, and her youngest daughter's decision was obviously more than she expected.

Fang Renzhu said calmly: "How can you be in a hurry? She wrote to me again today, urging me to reply, and I happened to go over to tell her that I was troubled. If it drags on any longer, I don't know what will happen to the DPRK and China. If the father can be relieved sooner, the daughter can also feel more at ease. ”

Mrs. Fang was right to think about it, but she felt a little ashamed of her little daughter: "It's hard for you." If...... If the Zhao family refuses to lend a hand, you don't have to be too wronged yourself. ”

Fang Renzhu smiled: "Mother is too worried. No one in the Zhao family has entered the court, and it is natural that they can't help, if they are willing to lend a hand, it is a surprise. Whatever the outcome, Miss Zhao ...... will never let her daughter be wronged. She's a friend of her daughter's. ”

Real ...... Friends! (To be continued......)
