Chapter 327: Plump Ideals
Fang Shaohua gradually lost his patience, and more than a month passed, but he still didn't even meet the three young ladies in the inner courtyard. And I always feel that the subordinates of Zhuyuan, who is in charge of the guest house, are always a little wary when they look at him. Could it be that something went wrong with you?
He was interested in the three young ladies in the inner courtyard, and there were very few people who knew about it, plus they were his cronies, so he didn't suspect that some of them had gotten the news.
But the eerie atmosphere of the guest house had to make him a little cautious. And he felt that it was difficult to show his strengths when Du Bin and Dong Wenbo were compared in his studies, of course, this was his shortcoming.
So he set his sights on the purpose of coming here in the first place. All he wanted most was to go up to the mountains to hunt.
Moreover, he felt that if he could compare to Du Dong and the others, it was only hunting on horseback that they were not good at as weak scholars.
Fang Shaohua believed that as long as he sent the prey to the inner courtyard, it would definitely arouse the curiosity of the three girls, so that he would have the opportunity to show his charm in front of them.
Perhaps, you can also use the pretext of hunting to enter the inner courtyard.
Fang Shaohua was wishful thinking.
On the other hand, Zheng also vaguely guessed her son's thoughts, but she didn't mean to stop it, but was a little happy to see it.
First of all, although I don't know the specific background of Lu Dao, Lin Zhu and others, from their words and deeds, it is not difficult for the Zheng family to see that they may be from official families.
Secondly, since it came out of the capital. If you can really let your son get his wish, maybe it will be a big help for his father-in-law, Qingyun County, and the magistrate.
So intentionally or unintentionally, Zheng asked the three of them about some interesting things in the capital. When I listened to their brief talk, I couldn't help but feel confident that my guess was not wrong.
Therefore, although it is not easy for her to leave the county government for a long time, she has to be cheeky to live for a few more days for the sake of her son.
"Sister Zhu, why doesn't that Mrs. Zhixian leave?" Zhang Manyun complained directly. Ever since they arrived, they have felt a lot more constrained. Even walking in the yard should always be reserved. There is no difference from being in the capital. It made her very unhappy.
"It should be soon." Lin Zhu also frowned slightly, although she didn't know what Mrs. Zhixian was thinking, but after being a guest in someone else's house for such a long time, she should have consciously left based on etiquette.
And Zheng is a shrewd person at first glance. How can you not know this? What the hell was on her mind? Lin Zhu couldn't help but think about it in his heart.
It didn't take a few days. Lin Zhu suddenly heard Chang Shi talking about Fang Shaohua going up the mountain to hunt.
"Rejected him." Lin Zhu's face was unhappy. "Didn't this man say that he wanted to find a quiet place to study hard? Where did these fancy intestines come from! "Lin Zhu is thinking about how to let them leave, where will Fang Shaohua be given this opportunity." Uncle Chang Shi, you tell him that since he is studying, he must have no distractions, and it is better not to do these meaningless things. ”
Lin Zhu didn't know what Lu Dao Chang Shi told Fang Shaohua afterwards, but according to the people in the guest house, the son of the Zhixian family had a very ugly face after meeting Chang Shi, red and white, and seemed to be a little angry, and he didn't eat a grain of rice for dinner that day.
Lin Zhu and Zhang Manyun and Dong Yuzhen just listened to these gossip as a joke, and no one paid attention to it.
"Mother, they obviously look down on our family." Fang Shaohua was angry, and ran to Zheng's to complain.
"What do you say about the important land in the garden, and idle people are not allowed to enter." Fang Shaohua's face was full of anger, "I have never seen such an arrogant subordinate, if it was in the mansion, I would have told him to understand who the master is." He clenched his hands, his muscles exposed.
"Hmph, it's just some goods that were kicked out of the family, and they dare to look down on my son." Zheng's tone was also very bad.
"Mother, what do you mean?" Hearing Zheng's words, Fang Shaohua's eyes lit up.
"What lady would stay in this kind of place for a few months? I must have been sent here to reflect on what I had done at home. Zheng had this doubt in her heart for a long time, but because Lin Zhu and the others had always been calm, she didn't think about it.
But what happened to her son made her involuntarily estimate them to the worst.
Fang Shaohua suddenly felt that this was a bright flower, and his mother's guess should be inseparable. Then he didn't have to try his best to please them, some small means should be able to settle them.
As a result, with the acquiescence of the Zheng family, Fang Shaohua came to the inner courtyard more frequently, and every time he came in, he would stay for a long time before leaving.
When leaving, five out of ten times he would confront Lin Zhu and the others from a distance. Sometimes, he would ignore the obstruction of his subordinates and say hello to Lin Zhu and others. also pretended to be a merry and talented man. The three people who watched couldn't stop doing evil in their hearts.
It's just that the wishful thinking of the Zheng family and Fang Shaohua did not succeed, and Qingyun knew that Fang Youwei sent someone to pick them up.
Although Fang Shaohua didn't want to leave, he had to leave because of Fang Youwei's strong order.
However, before leaving, a piece of news about Zhuyuan made him excited, and he had a plan in his heart.
"Father." When Fang Shaohua returned home, he asked the county magistrate Fang Youwei for peace.
"I still know that I will come back." Fang Youwei also understands his son's inferiority, but he is also very satisfied with Fang Shaohua's performance outside during this time. I thought he had been able to settle down to study and prepare for the scientific examination. That's why I called him back to educate him.
"Father, the son has something he wants to ask his father for an idea." Fang Shaohua knew that he was able to show off his power in Qingyun County because of his father, so once there was something, he would always tell his father as soon as possible.
"What's the matter?" Fang Youwei saw his positive appearance, sat on a chair and waited for his next step.
"The bamboo garden that my son went to this time is not ordinary." Fang Shaohua recounted what he saw and heard in Zhuyuan.
"It's just an ordinary garden." Fang Youwei was not interested.
"Father, this garden is not ordinary." Fang Shaohua shook his head. "Don't you notice what's different about your mother?" He gave the most intuitive example.
"Hmm," hearing his son mention it, Fang Youwei thought that when he saw his wife just now, he really felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember what was wrong. "What's the difference?"
"Mother has become younger." Fang Shaohua's words made Fang Youwei's eyes light up, yes, yes, that's what he felt, hearing his son say this, Fang Youwei suddenly remembered. My wife looks the same as she did five or six years ago.
"So what?" Fang Youwei didn't know what this matter had to do with Zhuyuan.
"Father, I guess it must be that the feng shui of Zhuyuan is different from ordinary places. Mother has only been there for more than a month, and there has been such an obvious change, if my father also lives there for a while, then your future ......" Fang Shaohua hid the following words and did not say.
But to say it or not to say it. Fang Youwei understood what he meant. Sit in a chair. I thought about it for a moment. He looked up and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”
"Buy the garden." Fang Shaohua said immediately.
"According to you, the garden is worth a lot. The main family is from the capital, how can it be easily sold? Fang Youwei was a little moved, but he didn't express it directly.
But as his son, how could Fang Shaohua not understand what his father meant?
"You might as well use some means." Fang Shaohua raised his eyebrows and said.
"Don't talk nonsense, as a father and a parental official, you must do things above board." Fang Youwei pretended to be angry and said.
"Yes, my son understands." Fang Shaohua blinked, lowered his head and said yes. He and Fang Youwei glanced at each other for a few times, and then came out of his study.
Fang Shaohua has long understood what Fang Youwei meant, that is, he is responsible for being above board, and some 'small means' are naturally handed over to others to be responsible.
Fang Shaohua did not return to his courtyard, but went to Zheng's house.
"Mother, son heard a piece of news, and I don't know if it's true." Fang Shaohua dismissed the subordinates in Zheng's house.
"What's the news?" Seeing that he was so careful, Zheng asked in a deep voice.
"I've heard that there is a hot spring in that bamboo garden, have you heard of it?" Fang Shaohua told Zheng what he heard in the corner of the inner courtyard of Zhuyuan when he was leaving.
"What did the man in the garden say?" Zheng remembered that the maid next to him seemed to have talked about it, but he didn't care about it at the time and didn't pay attention to it.
"Yes." Fang Shaohua nodded.
If there were no hot springs, Zheng didn't particularly care about the bamboo garden, but since she soaked in the hot springs in her brother's Zhuangzi, she had been thinking about it for a long time. And his brother has a bright future since he got this hot spring Zhuangzi.
Although she didn't care about it at the time, she experienced the changes in the bamboo garden herself.
Could it be that Zhuangzi with hot springs is really better feng shui?
"What did your father say?" Knowing his son Mo Ruomu, as soon as Fang Shaohua mentioned this, the Zheng family guessed his plan.
"Father said it was above board." The corners of Fang Shaohua's mouth were raised, and a smug smile appeared on his face.
"Well," Zheng nodded, "If you need anything, you can tell your mother again." She agreed with Fang Shaohua's approach.
At this time, the Zheng family seemed to have forgotten the identities of Lin Zhu and the others she had guessed. Because she has long been not satisfied with being a lady of the Qipin County Order, but hopes that her husband will make the official to the state capital or even the capital.
For a long time, as the wife of the magistrate, Zheng has been accustomed to a superior life. She believes that as long as Fang Youwei's identity is raised, there is basically nothing that cannot be successful.
So she never thought that her son would kick such a hard iron plate, so hard that even her mother's family could not compete with it, and it made her suffer heavy losses.
Fang Shaohua found a fox friend who was a good friend on weekdays, selected a person from them, and sent him to inform him of the intention of buying Zhuyuan, of course, the messenger of the fox fake tiger power, and also threatened Zhao Dafan, who was in charge of the reception, with insulting words.
"Go and tell your master, this garden, Young Master Ben has taken a fancy to it, there are 10,000 taels of silver here, let her resell the garden to me immediately." Fox Pengjia arrogantly said in the outer courtyard of the bamboo garden.
Zhao Da looked at the gentleman in front of him, who was sitting or standing, and was very disdainful, "I want to buy a bamboo garden for 10,000 taels, and I don't dream of such a cheap thing, just buying land costs more than 10,000 taels, and the girl has invested no less than 200,000 taels of silver for all the things here." The brain was caught in the door, so I would have come up with such a show. ”
I didn't know that Zhao Da thought about Hu Pengjia in his heart, and thought that he was frightened by the 'high price' of 10,000 taels, and said in his heart, he had never seen the country's native buns in the world.
"Go and inform your master, this price is cheap for her. Tell her to get out of the garden quickly. (To be continued......)
