Chapter 236: Cooking Wine on a Snowy Night is a common thing
Heavy snow covered the ground and frozen for thousands of miles.
The streets of Shangjing are cold and cold, and there are very few pedestrians and merchants. Only the dim street lamps were still lonely.
Fu Xiaoguan returned to Fu's mansion in a snowstorm, and stomped his feet in front of the door, thinking that these cotton shoes could not block the cold in his bones, and he didn't know that his father might be used to the ghost weather in Jinling.
He went straight to Lichenxuan, pushed the door in, and a warm feeling came from the surface, and a chill followed him, and the dust in the furnace was rolled up.
Fu Daguan was sitting in front of the tea table next to the stove drinking tea happily at the moment, but unexpectedly, the dust suddenly pounced on him, he looked up, and laughed.
"Chunxiu, the young master is back, ready to eat."
"Huh!"
Chunxiu walked out with joy, feeling like she was back in the Fu Mansion in Linjiang.
"Son, come over and warm up."
Fu Xiaoguan also walked over with a happy face, sat down opposite Fu Daguan, poured out the dusty tea leaves, boiled a pot again, and asked: "Dad, this Jinling is much colder than our Linjiang, are you still used to it?" ”
"Your father and I traveled north and south back then, what kind of bad weather have we never seen? What's more, I also spent the winter in Jinling back then......" Fu Daguan's neck stretched slightly, his eyes stared at Fu Xiaoguan, and changed the topic: "I said, when will the affairs in the palace be busy?" ”
"The day chosen by Qintian is the twenty-sixth day of the first month, and the Daozang Dharma will be done on the twenty-eighth day of the first month, and there are only a few days, but it is just ...... This engagement will definitely have to be delayed for a while, because according to the etiquette system, Wenyun needs to wear filial piety for half a year. ”
"Forehead......" Fu Daguan retracted his neck, his old eyes were solemn, and he pondered for a moment, "So to speak, get August." ”
Fu Daguan knew in his heart that the ninth princess Yu Wenyun had not been decided, so it was impossible to go to the Dong Mansion first, this thing could not be divided into first come and first come, unless Dong Shulan had already passed the door, otherwise the dignity and humility were orderly, and in any case, the princess had to be set first.
Now because of the queen mother's ascension to heaven, he can't even invite the Dong family to dinner, if it reaches His Majesty's ears, he is afraid that it will cause His Majesty's dislike.
Then he thought of what he saw on Changjie today, and felt a little confused, feeling that this Shangjing was really dangerous, so he stretched his neck again, and said cautiously: "Son, when I was celebrating the New Year for my father, I roughly counted the silver deposits in the family, and there were more than 1.2 million taels. ”
Fu Xiaoguan's eyes widened, "So many? ”
Fu Daguan nodded, and said in a low voice: "That's what my father thinks, there is so much silver in the family, and there are so many fields that are constantly being produced every year, not counting the industries you are making in Xishan, it is enough for our family to live a beautiful life." ”
Fu Xiaoguan's mind turned, and he smiled: "Dad, what do you think?" ”
"Daddy means ...... Can you resign from that official, and it is better for us to return to Linjiang and be a landlord comfortably? ”
Fu Xiaoguan was about to speak, but Fu Daguan said: "My father used to hope that you would not live an ignorant life, and that you would be able to take on this family business. As for being an official, this is your mother's hope, but she just hopes that you can be a petty official. But now I see that you are getting bigger and bigger, but your father's heart is becoming more and more unsteady. ”
"Son, now that you have gained fame and fortune, is it better to retreat bravely from the rapids?"
Fu Xiaoguan poured tea for his father, sighed in his heart, to tell the truth, he agreed with Fu Daguan's words very much, but now he can't agree.
Because he has caused a lot of trouble now, it seems that in addition to the Yan Valve, the attitude of the other five families towards him is not clear, if he retreats now, he believes that the Fu Mansion will die the next day, not to mention that there is very likely to be a bigger enemy - the Four Princes!
Now he can only hold His Majesty's thighs tightly, use his advanced knowledge to change the status quo of the Yu Dynasty, and make himself stand more firmly above the court, so stable that even the prince can't help him, so that he can protect the Fu family.
This is roughly because it is easy to get on a thief ship and get off a thief ship, or people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes.
"I'll go back to Linjiang."
Fu Daguan was overjoyed, but unexpectedly, Fu Xiaoguan said again: "But not now." ”
He didn't explain this reason to Fu Daguan again, but asked about other things.
"Are the six mothers in the family okay? Will Xiaoxi leave? ”
"The six mothers are very good, Xiaoxi can't walk yet, but she can already climb...... No, I said ......"
"Dad, I have to tell you the good news, you may have another daughter-in-law."
This sentence immediately changed Fu Daguan's attention, and he immediately asked, "Whose woman's family?" ”
"Yan Valve, the granddaughter of Yan Beixi, the prime minister of the dynasty."
"Ah......h
Fu Daguan sat up straight in shock, and his mouth was wide open and he didn't close it for a long time.
He took a deep breath and asked, "Yan Shidao's daughter?" ”
"No, it's Yan Haochu's daughter."
Fu Daguan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his son really couldn't leave now.
A princess, the daughter of a household secretary, and now there is a granddaughter of the prime minister...... He rubbed his hands, even if he didn't consider the emperor, just the head of the household department and the prime minister of the dynasty would definitely not let his son leave Shangjing to be the little landlord.
Then now he has to change this idea, he took the lead in dispelling the idea of moving his family to Shangjing, and Linjiang Fu Mansion can't move. Not only that, but he also had to go out for a walk, such as the Wu Dynasty, such as the Fan Kingdom.
As a cultured and low-key landowner in Linjiang, he was not at ease because of his son's powerful daughter-in-law background, on the contrary, he was more worried.
It's cold in the heights!
If you fall down, there is no place to die!
He didn't tell Fu Xiaoguan about his psychological plan, "In that case, you have to be a good official in Shangjing here." There is no shortage of silver in our family, you must not be greedy for ink, the DPRK and China are complicated, and you had better be able to keep it alone. And the other thing - did you really slash and kill Prince Comet's four hundred cavalry on that long street? ”
Fu Xiaoguan shook his head, "It was mainly killed by Su Su and Su Rou, how can I have that ability." ”
"Oh, Susu's girl is delicate, very good."
Fu Xiaoguan raised his eyes and looked at this fat father, what do you mean?
"A few days ago, she and Chunxiu came to pick up her father, and when her father saw it, he was shocked and thought it was yours...... New daughter-in-law. So I talked to her a lot for the Father, such as your past and present, and also ...... In short, the father didn't say a bad word about you, and the girl listened very carefully, and her face smiled at any time, so the father said one more word. ”
Fu Xiaoguan was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "What did you say again?" ”
"Speak for the Father...... I take six concubines, my son is better than the blue, if you enter the door of the Fu family, I promise that my son will treat you equally! ”
“……”
Looking at Fu Xiaoguan's speechless expression, Fu Daguan was happy, "Su Su said that she was an orphan since she was a child, she grew up in the Taoist Academy, and her father has no opinion on this, such a girl takes care of her family more, and she still has such a good martial arts, if you take her down, wouldn't she be able to follow you at any time and protect your safety, right?" ”
"Daddy......!" Fu Xiaoguan said very cautiously: "You can't mess with the mandarin duck spectrum, Su Su is still young, and I don't have the slightest dirty idea in my eyes, just treat her as a sister, don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing in the future." Again...... You don't know how powerful Su Su is, she's a genius of the Daoist Academy! If my son and I really marry her, she beats me as if she was playing, will I be able to have a good life in the future? ”
Fu Daguan thought about it, this is not considered, after all, Su Su is a person in the rivers and lakes, but there are not so many rules for everyone's ladies. So he nodded, put the matter down, and talked about Linjiang.
"Do you remember that Zhang Ji's family advocacy? It is Zhang Pei'er and her father who threw themselves into the river for you. ”
What does it mean to throw yourself into the river for me?
This daddy is getting more and more unreliable!
"Remember, what's wrong?"
"His son Zhang Wenhan became a jinshi in the middle of last year, and he had an official body in November, and he was in ...... I remember that it seems that I went to Pinglingyi to be a county magistrate, Zhang Wenhan held a banquet, and feasted guests in Linjiang Tower for three days and three nights! For my father, I think that my son is now such a big official, should he feast in Linjiang Tower for a month? ”
Fu Xiaoguan didn't care about the second half of Fu Daguan's words, he paid attention to the first half.
This Zhang Wenhan actually went to Pinglingyi...... Yan Xiwen's cousin Yan Linqiu went to Quyi County, these two counties are Linxian County, both are barren lands, and they are also facing the threat of desolate people from the north, and I don't know how this guy will govern in Pinglingyi?
Seeing that his son hadn't spoken for a long time, Fu Daguan asked again, "Do you think it's appropriate or not?" ”
"I think there is that silver, it's better to recruit more talents, Dad, the stall in Xishan has been rolled out, Yao County is a major focus this year, I can't get rid of it in Shangjing, you have five mothers in Linjiang are pregnant, you can't get out, do you have to find some trustworthy people to take care of those workshops?"
Fu Daguan smiled quite embarrassedly and said, "Actually, there are some talents in the group of Xishan people you went to harvest. There was a squire named Lu Dongping, I don't know if you remember. Although this old man was sixty years old, he was in good spirits, so his father promoted him to the housekeeper of Xishan and transferred Zhang Ce to Yao County. ”
"This is what my father thinks about, this Lu Dongping has a very high prestige among the people of Xishan, and whether it is Xishan or Fenglin Mountain, it is mainly Xishan people, and he is in charge of it, and he will get twice the result with half the effort. And many fields in Yao County belong to our family, Zhang Ce is very familiar with it, and it is easier for him to go to Yao County to do things. ”
"The other is Linjiang Fu Mansion, Bai Yulian sent forty people over, he said that it was eliminated during training, but it was better than ordinary nursing homes, so I kept it."
Ginger is really old and spicy!
Fu Xiaoguan admired Fu Daguan's arrangement very much, the father and son chatted happily, and the door from Chenxuan was pushed open again.
Chunxiu walked in with Jin Qianhu from the Jinling Mansion.
He clasped his fists and saluted: "Jin Haozhi has seen Master Fu, and Lord Ning invites your Excellency to go to Jinling Mansion." ”
