Chapter 106: Brother-in-law
It is said that "Zi" is a very elegant title, such as Lao Tzu, Confucius, Guanzi, etc.
"Son" is also a title, ranking fourth in the fifth class of the duke's earl, the so-called viscount.
Since the "son" is so tall, the Chinese people who like to pursue beautiful things add the suffix of "son" to many beautiful things they pursue, such as houses, tickets, sisters, and so on.
Of course, after the etiquette collapsed and the people's hearts were not ancient, the attention to etiquette was not so strict. Many not-so-beautiful things are also embellished with the nickname of "child", such as bear child, brother-in-law, etc.
Fang Zhongyong has a lot of brothers-in-law. The Yan family has seven people, including Yan Juhou, and the Wang family has seven people, including Wang Anren, Wang Andao, and Wang Anshi, with a total of 14 brothers-in-law.
The reason why there are so many brothers-in-law, in addition to the reason why the two Taishan are in good health, is also related to their many renewals.
Yan Shu's current wife Wang is the third, and Wang Yi's wife Wu is the second. In addition, the ancients closed the door every time it was dark to create people, and it was difficult for children to think too much.
Among these brothers-in-law, Yan Juhou and Fang Zhongyong have a good relationship, and Mrs. Yan is quite strict in governing the family, so she usually won't cause trouble to Fang Zhongyong.
The two eldest brothers of the Wang family, An Ren and An Dao, were not born to the same mother, and they were very old, so they generally did not come to the door, and they belonged to general friends.
But the dragon gave birth to nine sons, and under the pampering of Mrs. Wang Yi, Wang Anshi, a nasty ghost, is arrogant and domineering, and the sky is angry and resentful.
No, Wang Anshi was unable to participate in the Ministry of Rites exam due to illness before, and this time he is going to enter Beijing to take the top exam.
just went to Beijing to take the Ministry of Rites test, and Wang Lingwei deliberately ran back to her parents' house to greet her. Fang Zhongyong, who had been in the barracks for more than ten days, was so anxious that he was in a hurry.
Why the hurry?
Of course, it's because it's like three autumns after a day. Otherwise, what do you think?
What the? And Yan Rongyue? Isn't it inconvenient?
Cat slave? Are you kidding? We're not like that!
It was dark, and I saw Wang Lingwei come back angrily.
Fang Zhongyong apologized: "There are many things in the army, and I always take leave if my husband is not good. I also hope that the lady Haihan will forgive Xiaosheng. ”
Wang Lingwei smiled: "Don't be weird! The concubine body is not angry with you, but angry with yourself. ”
"Whoever has the heart of a bear and a leopard has the courage to say bad things about Wei'er, and sees that his husband will not live to kill him. My lady is a fish and a goose, Wen Ji Daoyun's talent, gentle and virtuous, IKEA and Yifang, she is really a fairy. What's even more rare is that she has an excellent vision and has found a wishful man, who is a strange man who looks better than Pan An and has only passed Zijian. What a blessing! ”
originally thought that a gag would make Wang Lingwei laugh, but she didn't expect Wang Lingwei to become serious: "Does Xianggong really think that the concubine is in IKEA?"
Fang Zhongyong stretched out his hand to hug Wang Lingwei into his arms, and said affectionately: "Keiko has a cold personality and doesn't like to play. Only Wei'er is the baby's heart for her husband, and only Wei'er's character is what a family should look like.
Tell me, is Anshi angry with you? See if I don't smash his ass. ”
Wang Lingwei said angrily: "You! An Shi is already seventeen years old, you have to clean him up at every turn, you need to save some face for him. Besides, he is not to blame for this today. It's all the concubine's own problem. ”
As he spoke, he whispered something in Fang Zhongyong's ear.
Fang Zhongyong couldn't stop laughing: "Old Taishan should be strong when he is old, and the sword is not old!" Hahahaha! The old mother-in-law and the old clam are also rare! Hahahaha, hahahaha! ”
Wang Lingwei was angry: "Look at you! No seriousness! ”
"Okay, okay, I'm serious! Hahaha! ”
"Xianggong...... You're so angry that you're a concubine like this again! ”
"Uh, I try not to laugh, okay!"
"You say, the parents are so old and can still conceive children, why can't the concubine give birth to a son and a half daughter?"
Oh, the root of the raw material disease is here! I was stimulated by the good birth of my old mother-in-law.
This can't work, I have to popularize medical knowledge to my beloved beauty.
Fang Zhongyong said with a straight face: "Although my mother-in-law is an old clam and a pearl...... Don't pinch, get down to business! But do you remember what I said earlier about childbearing age? ”
Wang Lingwei said hatefully: "Uncle said, you didn't like me at that time, so you used age to talk about things." You and Sister Keiko's children are both three years old, and you haven't seen anything bad for your health? It's all a lie! You just don't like me! ”
Why is this unreasonable?
Fang Zhongyong said helplessly: "You don't know how worried I was when Keiko gave birth. I'm not around, in case there are three longs and two shorts, but I will regret it for life! How old are you this year? ”
"Nineteen! It's going to be a yellow-faced woman soon! ”
"That's eighteen! The son once said, eighteen girls a flower. Lang Jun is about to turn into a flower thief, don't be afraid, little lady! ”
Flower thieves are not so easy to be.
One pick makes the flowers good, and then picks the flowers thin, three picks are still acceptable, and four picks hug the waist.
Rao is Fang Zhongyong has a wonderful technique in the room, and he can't withstand being picked several times.
The next day, Yan Rongyue saw that Fang Zhongyong was in low spirits, and laughed: "It seems that Xianggong's Nine Turns Xuangong has not been practiced at home!" Is this a flash? ”
The culprit, Wang Lingwei, just sneered and laughed, but Father Fang looked disgusted.
Mother is the best, and she also knows to add a chicken leg to Fang Zhongyong: "Young people should also pay attention to moderation." lest you get old and become a waste snack! ”
Father Fang didn't know if he was suffering from the wind and cold, and coughed loudly.
Yes, don't let the food be delicious, let's chat with the ladies!
didn't say a word to Yan Rongyue, and the bad news came - Yan Shu's wife and Fang Zhongyong's other mother-in-law were also pregnant.
This matter is tantamount to five thunders to Fang Zhongyong.
Two fathers-in-law and mothers-in-law, can you leave a way for your son-in-law to live?
If Keiko also comes to play like this, from women's singles to women's doubles, this will be fatal!
Or, go and hide in the barracks for a few days?
Fortunately, Yan Rongyue was compassionate and hardworking, not like Wang Lingwei, and didn't pull Fang Zhongyong to do anything during the day. Of course, it is also possible that it was because it was not very convenient that Fang Zhongyong escaped.
During the lunch break, I played with the stinky boy Fangzheng for a while.
The stinky boy thinks that Fang Zhongyong's parent-child game is boring, and he has to ride a big horse.
Fang Zhongyong smiled bitterly: "Daddy practiced too much last night and accidentally flashed his waist, is it okay not to ride a big horse today?"
The stinky boy just didn't follow, and Fang Zhongyong had to be reluctantly ridden again.
Alas! It's not easy to be a cow and a horse!
Yan Rongyue lamented his misfortune and was angry: "You can get used to it!" In the future, it will become a useless fool, and there will be a time when you are worried! ”
Fang Zhongyong's neck stiffened: "This is my son, dear!" Thief, kiss one, wood! ”
While joking, Fu Bi came to visit, and Wang Anshi actually came with him.
Seeing Fang Zhongyong's questioning, Fu Bi said: "I met at the door, but I never met."
Wang Anshi just casually bowed his hand to Fu Bi: "I've seen the rich man."
Turning his head, he poured bitter water on Fang Zhongyong: "Brother-in-law, you don't want to say hello to the Ministry of Rites, so I have to do everything myself, and I have been busy with the formalities for a few days alone."
Fang Zhongyong said with a smile: "If you want to be a pro-people official, you still have to experience these trivial things yourself." Besides, your sister won't let me handle it for you. ”
Wang Anshi was most afraid of his sister, so he shrank his head and didn't dare to speak.
Wang Lingwei didn't intend to spare him, and reprimanded: "Daddy has repeatedly taught us to be humble and not to take advantage of the situation. An Shi, you want to do something practical, when did you learn to be a gentleman? ”
Fang Zhongyong helplessly glanced at his son, who was still wandering. Poor son, it seems that you don't expect to be a young master in your life!
Fu Bi smiled: "My brother and sister are too strict, and the Ministry of Etiquette is too rigid. For the children of an official eunuch like Jiefu, it doesn't hurt to have one or two exemptions from the formalities. ”
Wang Anshi's dog bit Lu Dongbin: "Don't worry about it!"
Fang Zhongyong slapped the table and said angrily: "An Shi, this is the way of the sage you learned?" Not to mention that Brother Yan Guo is an official of the imperial court, you must maintain a minimum of respect for a person who takes the exam. Even when it comes to kinship, you also have to act as an elder brother, how can you be so rude? ”
Wang Anshi's eyes were red: "You also bully me!"
It's seventeen or eighteen, why do you still look like a child? This won't work! In the future, they will still point to you to kill all those political enemies?
Wang Lingwei was also a little reluctant, and said: "Xianggong, the rich brother is not an outsider, you can teach An Shi a good lesson."
Fang Zhongyong also felt that he was making a big fuss, and said apologetically: "An Shimo, brother-in-law, I have been messing with those rude soldiers in the barracks recently, and I am a little angry. But, seriously, Anshi's temper really has to change. Don't you hear that 'the world is full of knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article'? ”
Fu Bi stroked his beard and praised: "Good sentence! Although the language is almost plain, it is a good word for living in the world. ”
Wang Anshi didn't think so: "What's the point? It's just a faint word of exhaustion. ”
It seems that Wang Anshi's most serious illness is not psoriasis on his body, but mental illness in his brain.
Fang Zhongyong patiently taught: "An Shi, if you reach the first, are you willing to be a noble Hanlin or a close to the people?"
"Of course, it's for the people! Who is impatient to waste a good time in the pile of old papers! ”
It seems that Wang Anshi's idea of doing something practical for the Great Song Dynasty and the people has never changed.
"Then do you know that if you want to be a pro-people official, especially a Zhengyin official, you must know the nongsang, know the criminal law, understand official affairs, and distinguish between adultery and evil."
Fu Bi interjected: "The first three are just the basic requirements for officials, and there is nothing to say. Only, what is the truth of this discerning evil from evil? ”
Fang Zhongyong said: "Whoever is an official will submit the decree of the court and sympathize with the suffering of the people. Otherwise, it's just rice worms and beetles. As an official, there must be people around him who tend to be inflammatory, flattering, and flattering. If you fail to discern evil and evil, you will be deceived by the servants. Those who are officials must not be overlooked.
Even the officials dare not fake the tiger, and it is difficult to protect the good people. There are those who commit adultery, there are those who lie and deceive, and there are those who appear to be faithful and traitors. Those who are officials must not be overlooked.
Besides, for example, the enemies of Western Xia and Northern Liao, foreign patients, all of them are hostile to our Great Song Dynasty? Not really. Destroying the die-hard hostile elements and winning over friendly people who have their hearts set on our Great Song Dynasty will surely be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort when the enemy country is in contention. Those who are officials must not ignore it. ”
Wang Anshi said unconvinced: "Can't treacherous people do good things? ”
"Yes! How can't you? A person surnamed Lei once said that it is not difficult for a person to do a good deed, but the difficult thing is to only do good deeds and not do bad deeds in a lifetime. ”
Fu Biqi said: "If you can say such a thing, it must be a great sage, why have I never heard of a rural sage surnamed Lei?" ”
"You'll know him in a few years."
Wang Anshi said: "Can this Mr. Lei really do good things and not do bad things all his life? ”
"Yes! He really can! ”
