Chapter 49: Twists and Turns
Fang Shaoze was shocked.
In the past, when he chatted with Luo Qinghe, he had heard her imagine countless possibilities, but he never thought that this Luo Qingwen would have something to do with the royal family! Fang Shaoze was stunned for a long time before he reluctantly settled down and continued: "Since this is the case, then do you know who is sacred in that secluded dwelling?" ”
Mo Fei Luo Qinghe's father was already a nobleman in Beijing at this time, not an ordinary official as they imagined?
But the guy's next sentence poured cold water on Fang Shaoze: "Where is sacred?" It was inhabited by the families of officials who had been convicted of serious crimes, and the reason why they were able to live next to the palace was only because the Holy Majesty decreed that they should be punished for doing the most tiring and bitter work in the palace! I heard that it can be called a purgatory on earth, and the Holy Lord has sent a brocade guard to guard it, so you should not go there easily, otherwise if you are implicated, the consequences will be..."
Xiao Er said, shuddered, and turned his head to go in.
Fang Shaoze never expected that the secluded residence would be such a place, and he didn't know how to tell Luo Qinghe about it for a while.
Seeing that Fang Shaoze came back with a complicated expression, Luo Qinghe looked forward to it: "Have you inquired?" When can we get there? ”
Looking at Luo Qinghe's expectant look, Fang Shaoze only felt sour in his heart, cleared his throat and said, "Otherwise, let's go to my house first." ”
According to the Wang family, Na Luo Qingwen was originally the son of a high-ranking official's family, and went into exile in Luoquan Town because of an accident at home. If this is true, then Luo Qingwen's father is very likely to be an official who was convicted for some reason, and Luo Qingwen escaped by chance when his home was raided. And the reason why he didn't take Yueniang back to Beijing later was probably because he was afraid that Yueniang would be affected by himself!
Looking at Fang Shaoze's gaze that didn't dare to look at him, Luo Qinghe's heart suddenly sank, and he said in a low voice: "You must have heard something?" But if I have the heart to seek my father, how long can I hide this from me? You might as well have told me sooner! ”
yes, how long can this be hidden? If Luo Qinghe wants to inquire, he can always ask! Thinking of this, Fang Shaoze was still heartbroken, and conveyed Fang Cai's words to 1510.
I thought that Luo Qinghe would break down and cry, but she didn't expect that she was very calm after listening to it, and looked at him with firm eyes: "But even so, I still have to go to that place, after all, I am his daughter!" ”
Seeing that Luo Qinghe was so unwilling, although Fang Shaoze was already desperate, he also comforted as much as possible: "Since you have decided, go over there!" Although the little second said so, it is very likely that your father has been rehabilitated a long time ago. ”
Luo Qinghe nodded slightly when he heard this, and reluctantly hooked his lips. Although she seems to have been calm, she feels a sullen breath in her chest at the moment, and she is very aggrieved.
But why are you depressed? Is it because after Luo Qingwen was clearly a sinner, he clearly knew that his road to finding relatives was extremely dangerous, but he also insisted on not telling Yueniang?
Luo Qinghe thought about it but shook his head helplessly, and said secretly in his heart: That's it, what does it matter if you don't tell it? With her mother's character, if she knew that her husband was in such a situation, she would follow her desperately.
It was almost evening, and Fang Shaoze led the dust shadow and Luo Qinghe to the front of a magnificent mansion on Guiren Street.
Just now, when they were inquiring about the news of Pin's secluded residence, the two of them spent the only scraps of silver on their bodies, and they were already hungry at the moment. Fang Shaoze waited for his father's house to have a good meal and wash up.
But as soon as the two of them explained their origin to the person at the door, they saw that the person was full of contempt and drove the two out.
"This world is also strange! After the Marquis of Qishan looked for his daughter all over the world, there were always so many crooked melons and cracked dates who impersonated them with the dream of wealth and nobility! But when did our lord say that his son was lost? You also want to be blind, come here to pretend to be my young master! , my young master will be back in a while, you are lying to a fool here! ”
never expected that he would be kicked out of the door, Fang Shaoze was stupid. I clearly came according to the address given by my grandmother, how could I be wrong?
Fang Shaoze hurriedly said: "I am the son of Fang Jinglin, the fourth master of the Luoquan Fang family, Fang Shaoze!" My mother, that is, his wife, is the third lady of the Jimei Zhai family! That's right! ”
"Yo!" As soon as he heard Fang Shaoze count his family affairs, the subordinate sneered and said, "You liar has spent some effort to check my master's background in detail!" But the person who gave you the news said that my lord's wife and children in his hometown have passed away a long time ago, and now Mrs. Qin in our house is the wife of Fang Mansion! If you want to deceive people next time, let's inquire about the news clearly! ”
Hearing this, Fang Shaoze's face turned pale: "It's true that my mother died in her early years, but which one of you heard a rotten tongue say that I am also dead?" ”
"Presumptuous!" The man said angrily: "What a bold man, he dares to scold my master for having a rotten tongue?" Anyone who knows our master knows how heartbroken he was because of the loss of his wife and children, how can you fanatic take advantage of this to make up nonsense! ”
Seeing that the person didn't look like a lie, Fang Shaoze's heart suddenly cooled by half. At this moment, he finally knew why his father was clearly an official in the capital, but there was no mention of this saint's Zhang Huang Bang's recruitment of talents! It turns out that there is a continuation here, and I don't want them anymore!
Seeing Fang Shaoze's pale face, it was scary to think that he was a little embarrassed because his lie had been exposed, so he stretched out his hand again, pushed Fang Shaoze again and again, and said, "Get out!" If you know you're ashamed, don't come here to lie! Our Lord Fang is also something you can climb! ”
As he spoke, he picked up a stick from behind the door and raised his hand to beat it.
But at this time, Fang Shaoze was still stunned, and he didn't even have the intention of dodging.
When Luo Qinghe, who was originally silent next to him, saw this scene, he dragged Fang Shaoze away and blocked the front, and said sharply: "You are not a small person in the moment!" Let me tell you, he is Master Fang's fake son! If you don't believe it, let your master come out to confront him, and if he dares to say that he doesn't know him in front of my young master, then we will immediately go back to Luoquan and invite the old lady over to find out about this matter! ”
But the subordinate was sure that the two were liars, and said disdainfully: Don't take the old lady out to scare us, if you have the ability, you can go back and please! But don't just pull a wild old lady over on the road, insist that she is my master's mother! You girl is really interesting, isn't it because of this man's hue that he is so devastated? What do you think a little girl is doing with that poor ghost? I can't afford to wear even a decent pair of shoes! ”
Sure enough, Luo Qinghe lowered her head when she heard this, only to see that her cloth shoes had already been worn out of holes, but she didn't find out when she was thinking about her father. At this moment, several other people who were watching the excitement listened to such vulgar words, and they burst out laughing.
Luo Qinghe was a woman in the end, and she was a little embarrassed when she heard this, so she hurriedly shrank her feet into her skirt.
At this time, Fang Shaoze on the side took out the horsewhip with his hand, and whipped it at the subordinate with a cold face.
Because Fang Shaoze was polite when he spoke just now, and his face was pale because of the wind cold, the people thought that he was a poor Xiucai who was powerless, so he was defenseless, but now he was whipped by Fang Shaoze, and he screamed in pain at that time: "Help!" I'm going to die! ”
"What kind of place are you in the Fang Mansion that you dare to beat people?!" When the subordinate who was still watching the excitement just now saw that the situation was not good, he hurriedly copied the guy and rushed towards Fang Shaoze.
Seeing this posture, Luo Qinghe hurriedly patted the dust shadow, and saw it hissing, and suddenly stepped forward and kicked a few people hard, and in an instant, a few people who were still playing majestic covered their chests and wailed to the ground.
Fang Shaoze was already in a bad mood, and when he saw that those people were going to do it with him again, he was full of anger and raised his horsewhip and whipped it.
I didn't pump twice, but I heard someone behind me shouting urgently: "Stop fighting!" ”
I saw a young man in brocade who was like Luo Qinghe in the first grade hurriedly turned over from the carriage and said solemnly: "In broad daylight, how can Your Excellency be rude at the door of someone else's house?" What kind of place are you in front of the capital? ”
Looking at the face that was somewhat similar to himself, Fang Shaoze understood the identity of that person, and sneered and said sadly: "Someone else's door? Sure enough, what Fang just said was true..."
"What do you mean by that?" The young man in brocade was a little puzzled, and was about to ask carefully, but he saw that Fang Shaoze's face turned white again, and as soon as the horsewhip in his hand was loosened, the person fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Luo Qinghe hurriedly helped him up, hugged him and said, "Wow! What a sentence for someone else's house! That old man abandoned his wife, not to mention, his own sons have found the door, can they be so ruthless? Isn't it just bullying people without a mother? Aren't you afraid of being struck by thunder in the sky? ”
At night, the street lamps are staggered and lit up, and the night of Guangling has always been drunk.
At the door of the magnificent restaurant, several drunken middle-aged men staggered out, and the doorman hurriedly stepped forward and nodded and greeted: "A few adults, be careful, the small ones will bring the carriage over for you!" ”
"Get out of here!" The middle-aged man with the fat head and big ears who walked at the front burped, waved the doorman away, and then turned back and dragged the man behind him who was also drunk and unsteady: "Lord Fang, today's meal is very enjoyable!" Next... Next time, I will also get a seat in this restaurant, and then go to Chunyun Pavilion to find the red bean girl, let's get drunk and rest! ”
Although Lord Fang, who was being dragged by him on the side, was a little unsteady, his eyes, which were three points similar to Fang Shaoze, revealed a little essence, and he said with a smile: "Lord Zhang, you said earlier that you wanted the red bean girl, I invited you at that time!" However, it is an honor to be able to accompany you to dinner, how can I let you invite it? If you don't decide a place next time, I will bring the red bean girl to serve you! ”
When the adult Zhang heard Fang Jinglin's words, he was smiling and squeezing together: "Haha! You are also sensible, unlike other shabby scholars, who guard his little money all day and night, if a man is not paid, what can he do! But when it comes to that, your lady is very generous..."
Fang Jinglin laughed and nodded in agreement.
"You say let's drink and talk here, how happy! I'm sick to death when I can't bear to spend on their copper plate all day long! ”
Fang Jinglin's face changed slightly when he heard Lord Zhang's words, but he didn't answer, but hurriedly raised his hand to summon his little servant: "Quick!" It's too late today, help your family back to rest! ”
was just about to send people away, but this adult suddenly came over and attached it to Fang Jinglin's ear, snorting wine and said: "I know what you want in your heart, this is about to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, the saint will worship the ancestors, and the palace will also hold a big banquet, and then you will do the things in your share beautifully, I will participate in a few more books for you, then the day of your promotion will not be far away!" ”
As soon as he heard this, that Fang Jinglin showed a knowing smile for the first time: "Thank you, Lord appreciate!" ”
Accompanying Master Zhang all the way to send Master Zhang away, Fang Jinglin breathed a sigh of relief, and staggered to let his subordinates help him home.
After soaking in that officialdom for a day, Fang Jinglin just wanted to rest at the moment, so he went straight to his tender house. didn't think that he didn't even have time to take off his clothes, so he was called away by the maid under his wife Qin.
Seeing that Fang Jinglin was very displeased, the maid said boldly: "Master forgive me, Madam is not looking for you for personal matters, but because someone from Luoquan Town is making trouble at the gate of Fangfu today!" ”
