Chapter Eighty-Nine: It's Better to Come Early Than to Be Lucky
When Fang Ji left the Whale Head Gang, it was already past noon, and while it was still early, Fang Ji didn't stop and went to the Taishi Mansion.
Fang Ji naturally did not go to see Taishi Liang this time, but to see Shen Tanhua, who was temporarily living in Taishi Liang's house.
This Tanhualang is now regarded as the position of the "secretary" of the Taishi, Fang Ji thought about how he could have his own mansion, but he didn't expect that he still lived in the Taishi's mansion.
After all, he was not the Taishi who asked to see, so Fang Ji really knocked on the door, and he didn't enter through the main gate of the Taishi's Mansion.
Speaking of which, although this Taishi is not as good as the two kings on the left and right today, how can the Taishi be regarded as a first-class official with no real power, and Fang Ji is just a grass people, even when he saw Shen Xia, he also entered from the side door.
Of course, Fang Ji himself was not interested in such a thing. On the contrary, he was more concerned about how to talk to Shen Xia about it.
In the final analysis, Fang Ji came to see Shen Xia this time, not because of a temporary intention, but because he was "entrusted" by this prince this morning.
Fang Ji knew that he was "threatened" by the prince, but he couldn't help the prince. After all, the prince clearly wanted him to investigate this matter, and the prince just asked him to refuse, otherwise he wouldn't have started with such a shocking sentence: he himself was green, and the child was not his own.
Fang Ji really didn't know how to speak to Shen Xia now, so he couldn't just say to Shen Xia in person:
"The prince told me that your junior sister made the prince green, and the child doesn't know which family's seed it is."
Fang Ji felt that if he really said that, not to mention whether Shen Xia believed it or not, at least the friendship boat between him and Shen Xia would really capsize.
Fang Ji knew that when the prince found him, he took a fancy to his relationship with Shen Xia and wanted him to talk to Shen Xia.
When Fang Ji first heard the news, he was stunned in his heart, and even thought that the child might be Shen Xia's. After all, he knew Shen Xia's ambition, which was to change the Great Wei, and the prince of the prince's child was his own child, and then used it as secret political capital, Fang Ji felt a little frightened no matter how he thought about it.
But as soon as he thought about it, he immediately ruled out the possibility that Shen Xia was the child's father.
Fang Ji knew that Shen Xia had great ambitions, but doing so was undoubtedly suicide. And the most important thing is that if Shen Xia really wants to do it, it is absolutely impossible to make the prince suspicious.
This is his opinion of Shen Xia. Shen Xia's intellect Fang Ji has always felt underestimated. After all, he had been in contact with Shen Xia, and Shen Xia gave him the feeling that everything in his stomach was hidden. And Fang Ji always remembered that he had asked Brother Huai'er, and even Brother Huai'er didn't know much about this Shen Xia's evaluation, so it can be imagined how low-key Shen Xia was.
ruled out the possibility that the child was Shen Xia, but Fang Ji couldn't rule out that Shen Xia had nothing to do with this matter, so he had to knock on the side to inquire this time.
Of course, being put on the throne by the prince like this, Fang Ji was very unhappy. Although the prince's "reward" did move him, such passivity was not Fang Ji's character.
At this time, under the guidance of the maid of the Taishi Mansion, Fang Ji walked in the Taishi Mansion. Judging from the courtyard and the scenery in the mansion, Fang Ji knew how poor the Zhao family was......
The houses are all of average size, but the "configuration" is a few notches higher, which is the first reaction of the halberd.
And Wan'er is also a hussar general, the head of the military attaché, this gap is a little too big.
It seems that only if this family business is done well can there be a way out.
"Shizi." This maid saw Liang Qing and his subordinates coming to her at this time, but she asked for peace.
Fang Ji saw it, but he also quickly lowered his head.
This Liang Qing and the three princes, as well as Wang Xin, the son of Wang Situ, came to the Zhao family to propose marriage, but they were not played by him, the pretending housekeeper.
Although they don't know that they are being tricked by him, it is difficult to say if they are recognized......
"This is Shen Gongzi's guest." The maid introduced.
"Shen Xia's guest?" This Liang Qing heard this, but looked at Fang Ji curiously.
"Xiaomin is Shen Tanhua's drinking friend in Cuihong Mansion, and he is also here to ask Shen Tanhua to drink today." Fang Ji knew that being stared at by Liang Qing like this, it would not be good if he evoked his "dusty" memory, so he hurriedly saluted.
What kind of place is the Emerald Red Mansion, and where can it be a place for drinking? This Liang Qing looked clear at this time, but he waved his hand and laughed. "Then this Shen Tanhua also frequents."
"That's nature. Shen Tanhua is a flower to live," Fang Ji smiled a little obscenely at this time.
"Hahahaha! It turns out that this surnamed Shen is here to pretend to be high for me on weekdays! Liang Qing listened, but left with a smile and ignored Fang Ji.
At this time, Fang Ji smiled again and bothered the maid to lead the way. But apparently, the maid looked at him with some disgust, as if to say, "Phew! Look at how you look, I didn't expect it to be such a person! ”
So, Fang Ji saw Shen Xia, and made a few jokes at this time, just after drinking two glasses, he told Shen Xia what had just happened, and asked Shen Xia to squirt out all the wine he had just entered.
"Brother Fang, you just came to be a guest, why did you damage Shen in front of the world." Shen Xia smiled bitterly at this time.
"Eh, I'm hurting you, I'm helping you." When Fang Ji said this, he didn't even believe it, let alone Shen Xia.
"Help me?" Although Shen Xia knew that Fang Ji was going to be joking, he also wanted to know what this guy could say.
"I think this Liang Qing is a little discordant with you, this time I do this, he will look down on you, then the stumbling block on you will be inferior because he looks down on you, isn't this helping you?"
Shen Xia laughed out loud when he heard this, this had just been pitted by Fang Ji, and then listen to his explanation. Shen Xia was inexplicably happy.
"Brother Fang, why did you think of coming to Shen this time."
"Hey, it's just idleness. Originally, I made an appointment with a beautiful woman, but this beautiful woman had something to do temporarily, and after thinking about it for a while, I wanted to find Brother Shen for a drink. ”
Fang Ji's words were naturally half-truths and half-truths. The truth is that Xiao Luo is indeed not available today, and he wants to accompany this Qi Luo to be busy, so the lie is that Fang Ji didn't make an appointment with Xiao Luo at all, this is an excuse to see Shen Xia.
"Speaking of which, Brother Fang, it's really not the right time for you to come, I can only talk to you for a while, then there will be someone in the Taishi's Mansion as a guest, I have to give medicine to the Taishi, and I have to accompany the Taishi."
Shen Xia really didn't want to sweep away Fang Ji's interest, but today Fang Ji was uninvited, so it was naturally impossible for him not to accompany the Taishi.
"Someone's a guest? Is it inconvenient for you to tell me? Fang Ji asked casually, he didn't expect that this Taishi Mansion would not be the right time to come today.
"I don't know if you know it, it's all some literati, and there are some sons and sisters, such as the prince and the young lady of the Situ Mansion."
When Fang Ji heard these two names, he blinked his eyes.
He wanted to retract his idea that he had come at the wrong time, and it was too late!
This Miss Shizi of Situ Mansion is not Wang Xin and Wang Shu. At least one of these two people will be taught in Tsing Yi. Moreover, the orphans of the three princes that Fang Ji has been investigating may also be related to these two people......
