Fang Ziyi folded the embroidered mandarin duck pillowcase and was about to stuff it into the bottom of the box, when Zining ran in and snatched it away: "Sister's embroidered pillow, I want to see it...... Hey, mandarin duck, it's a wedding pillow! ”

Fang Ziyi's pink cheeks flushed, and she rewarded this lively sister with an almond eye, took back her pillowcase, folded it carefully, and stuffed it into the box.

Since Chongzhen five years ago, she met Yu Guozhen for the first time, and now, it is also four years, she is sixteen years old, and even the boy Ning is eleven years old, which is similar to the age when she met Yu Guozhen.

According to the agreement between the two families, in the spring of the next year, Yu Guozhen will marry her. At that time, she was officially the housewife of the Yu family, and the identity of the daughter of the Fang family took a back seat. Since the wedding date was set, she began to prepare a wedding dress for herself, although she has no mother, but she has an excellent cousin, in this regard, she will definitely not be rude.

"Sister, what should you do if you marry me?" Fang Zining hugged her and asked in a loud voice.

"You're also older, and next year will be twelve, and you can take care of yourself." Fang Ziyi was also a little sad.

"Why don't I go with my sister?" Zi Ning asked in a low voice.

Fang Ziyi was slightly stunned, and then twisted her face hard: "How can there be a reason to marry my sister and give my sister away!" ”

"It's just to stay at my sister's house, and nothing else!" The boy's face was so red that she could get water, but her eyes flickered a little.

She is a big ghost and innocent, and when she got to know Yu Guozhen, she felt that this "little gentleman" was extremely remarkable. Later, "Little Mister" became a brother-in-law, and I always heard how great he was, and the rumors in the market occasionally came, and they were all the reputation of the young tiger. In addition, Yu Guozhen Pingtong's city people are in turmoil, and Ding'an Lu is a thief, and everything is done beautifully. In her little heart, she already felt that her brother-in-law was a first-class hero in the world, and she was more amazing than her cousin Fang Yizhi and her cousin-in-law Sun Lin. And Yu Guozhen is a generous person, every time he gives Fang Ziyi a gift, she is always indispensable, so unconsciously, Fang Zining even feels that this brother-in-law also has his own share.

This is the immature mind of a little girl, and it is naturally not enough for outsiders.

"You......" Fang Ziyi was also a little reluctant to give up her sister in her heart, although her uncle and brother were very good to their sisters, but ...... This sister is a little naughty, and she can only rest assured under her nose.

At this moment, Fang Yizhi's voice came from outside, Fang Ziyi responded, and came out of the boudoir to greet him in the study, but saw Fang Yizhi smiling and saying to the servant woman behind him: "Oh, all move in!" ”

Then eight boxes moved in, Fang Ziyi was stunned at first, then her cheeks were slightly red, and Fang Zining cheered.

Both of them are smart, and suddenly they brought these boxes, obviously Yu Guozhen came, and he brought a gift.

"But brother-in-law is here?" Kid Ning asked eagerly.

"Exactly, by the way, Zining, you open this box." Fang Yizhi pointed to one of the boxes and said.

After Fang Zining opened it, he smelled a sweet fragrance, and then he saw several wooden boxes, all of which had notes attached to them. She grabbed one, then cheered, "It's preserved fruit!" ”

Whether it is Qinzhou or Hoi An, there are many tropical fruits, but most of them are not easy to preserve, Yu Guozhen made them into preserved fruits and brought them to Fang Zi Lemon to taste. Of course, he also brought with him the old coconut with the skin removed, which can be stored for up to 80 days, so it will not spoil for the time being.

Seeing Zi Ning open the wooden box like this, and then taste the preserved fruit inside, Fang Ziyi smiled, and her heart was as sweet as honey.

"Ziyi, there's one more thing." Fang Yizhi smiled and said: "I saw Jimin's boat on the dock, that ship is extremely beautiful, tsk, sooner or later you will see it too, do you know the name of that ship?" ”

Fang Ziyi shook her head, Fang Yizhi asked her to guess, but she still smiled and shook her head.

Fang Yizhi felt a little bored, sighed and said, "Ziyi, Ziyi, you are too serious, and you are becoming more and more like your aunt." ”

"That's Brother Mi, it's been too bad lately." Fang Zining next to him.

Fang Yizhi suddenly blushed, stared at this little clan girl, and smiled bitterly for a while: "I have been taught a lesson by Jimin, I will change it, this is always okay, right?" ”

He didn't want to talk about it anymore, so he diverted the topic again: "The name of the ship is called the Pillow Xia." ”

Fang Ziyi's cheeks suddenly flew again, while Zi Ning wrinkled her nose and said with some jealousy: "Brother-in-law is really good to my sister!" ”

The small building where Fang Ziyi lived in Tong's city was nicknamed "Pillow Xia Building" by her because of its presence in the West Courtyard, and Yu Guozhen named the first clipper ship "Pillow Xia", the intention of which is not known.

At this time, Yu Guozhen was getting up to say goodbye to Fang Kongzhi: "If the master doesn't have a side advice, the little nephew will retire first, the journey is rushing, and he was pulled by the secret brother just after he went ashore." ”

"What's so polite to me?" Fang Kong smiled with a beard: "You don't see Ziyi?" ”

Although the Fang family is a master of science, and the women of the Fang family are even more impeccable in terms of women's morality, Fang Kongzhi himself is a little uninhibited. Hearing his words, Yu Guozhen thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "In February of the next year, the little nephew will marry, so let's not see each other for the time being." ”

"You." Fang Kongzhi didn't believe that this guy was a respectful and law-abiding person, he paused: "Don't be in a hurry to leave, when you get here, you always want to stay for food, in addition, is there room for relaxation between you and Shi Kefa?" ”

Speaking of this, Fang Kongzhi's eyes burned and he looked at Yu Guozhen.

The contradiction between Yu Guozhen and Shi Kefa, he has long been familiar with it, he was a little dissatisfied with Shi Kefa at the beginning, knowing that Yu Guozhen was the son-in-law of the Fang family, but he bypassed the Fang family to find Yu Guozhen, this is not only not to give him face to the Fang family, but also Shi Kefa's betrayal of his mentor Zuo Guangdou. So at the beginning, Yu Guozhen showed no mercy to Shi Kefa, Fang Kongzhi not only did not interfere, but even acquiesced to Fang Yizhi's help, and sneered at Shi Kefa on "Storm Collection".

However, after Wen Zhenmeng's resignation, the relationship between the two sides suddenly changed, no matter what, Fang Kongzhi and Donglin have a close relationship, and the Fushe that Fang Yizhi joined is simply a variant of Donglin, and Shi Kefa is a representative figure in the Mesozoic Era of Donglin, and the future leader of Donglin.

The resignation of Wen Zhenmeng marked a heavy setback for Donglin's forces in the court, which made both Fang Kongzhi and Shi Kefa realize that the two sides could not fight among themselves. In addition, Zhang Guowei mediated in the middle, and then took the opportunity of Fang Yizhi to send a letter to Shi Kefa, and the relationship between the two sides eased.

There are no permanent enemies, only eternal interests.

"Why did the master say this, from beginning to end, the little nephew never took the initiative to find trouble with Shi Kefa." Yu Guozhen said.

This response made Fang Kongzhi smile bitterly, sure enough, Yu Guozhen is the kind of person who is extremely stubborn, and another meaning in his words is that if Shi Kefa still comes to provoke him, he will also fight back mercilessly.

But at least one thing, his niece and son-in-law are still reasonable.

"Jimin, in March, Wen Zhenmeng was dismissed after less than three months of entering the cabinet, you should know." Fang Kongzhi said: "Behind this incident, there is a tragedy! ”

He was careful to use the word tragedy, not tragedy. Yu Guozhen nodded, this matter, to be honest, has a lot to do with him.

At the beginning, in order to remove Wen Tiren from power and let Qian Qianyi, who had helped him, get out of prison, he made a plan, on the one hand, let Zhang Pu contact Donglin figures, especially the officials of the Donglin line who were still in the center of the imperial court, and prepare to attack Wen Tiren; On the other hand, Shi Jingyan, who was bent on repaying Qian Qianyi's kindness, was sent into Beijing, and used Shi Jingyan as bait to induce Wen Tiren and the great eunuch Cao Huachun to turn against each other.

But these are the two moves he put in front of Zhang Pu, in fact, he still has one dark move, if Shi Kefa does not break his word and fatten, this dark move will not be used.

This dark move does not refer to Zheng Zhilong's Zheng family, but Wen Tiren's younger brother Wen Yuren.

After discovering that Shi Kefa was going to find an excuse not to fulfill the secret agreement between the two sides, Yu Guozhen realized that Shi Kefa's biggest reliance on doing so was nothing more than the support of Wen Zhenmeng in the court, and since this was the case, Wen Zhenmeng must step down. So on the one hand, he asked the Zheng family to send Zheng Hongkui to deal with Shi Kefa, and on the other hand, he ordered Gao Erzhu to start the dark chess set up next to Wen Yuren.

There are only two words in dark chess: Zheng Zheng.

Zheng Zhen and Wen Zhenmeng have a very good relationship, when Wen Zhenmeng was attacked by the eunuch party, Zheng Zhen wrote a letter to avenge his grievances, and Zheng Zhen was also on the list of "Donglin Point Generals" and the like, so Wen Zhen Mengfu paid a visit to the prime minister and immediately invited, and Zheng Zheng also entered Beijing at the end of February. As soon as he entered the capital, he was connected to the seal and impeached many people, among which quite a few implicated Wen Tiren.

This caused the dissatisfaction of Wu Zongda, another cabinet scholar, Wu Zongda and Wen Tiren have been in the cabinet for several years, and have been standing, and the relationship with Wen Tiren is very friendly, and is regarded as Wen Tiren's party, and at that time, the rumors in the capital "The cabinet is translated into a museum, and the turtle king has eight scorns" refers to Wu Zongda.

Wu Zongda is actually a relative of Zheng Zheng's mother's family, but in the face of politics, how can there be any family affection at all, not to mention that Zheng Zheng and his mother's family have already turned their faces.

Wen Tiren instructed Xu Xi, a fellow scholar of Zheng Zheng, to come forward and impeach Zheng Zheng for "steaming his wife with a cane", Chongzhen asked Wu Zongda about this, Wu Zongda was the brother of Zheng Zheng's mother, and confirmed that this was indeed the case, so Chongzhen, who had always advocated the rule of filial piety, was furious, sent Zheng Zheng to prison, and held accountable those who recommended such unfilial people. And Wen Zhenmeng's surname is stubborn, and he is a member of the Donglin Party, so he doesn't like Chongzhen, and he has received the grace of Zheng Zheng, so he has to come forward to defend it.

The result of the defense was that Wen Zhenmeng also lost his official position and returned home, while Wu Zongda picked up the position of head and assistant of the cabinet.

Yu Guozhen heard Fang Kongzhi mention this matter, and he didn't have much uneasiness, the reason why he knew about this Zheng Zheng and took advantage of this matter was because he also sent someone to Zheng Zheng's hometown to investigate, and Zheng Zheng had used a nurse to pretend to be his biological mother, and boasted of filial piety in front of Donglin boss Huang Daozhou, but in fact, it was "the evil of living in the countryside and the evil of silver chaos", and the villagers gritted their teeth. (See "Chongzhen's Testament") "The little nephew does know about this matter, so what, the matter of the court, but the little nephew can't interfere. He bowed his head and smiled.

"Can't get involved? Behind the secret can you say that you are the natural enemy of the pavilion, Wen Tiren is idle and idle, and you are not planning it? Fang Kongzhi snorted: "Now that Wen Zhenmeng is also gone, Wu Zongda is Wen Tiren's party, if you take revenge, how do you deal with yourself?" ”

Yu Guozhen smiled and did not speak.

"Therefore, you don't want to mess with Shi Daolin anymore, the overall situation is important." Fang Kongzhi said again.

"The lord just rest assured, the little nephew has always been cautious, but the lord should talk to Shi Kefa, hoping that he can focus on the overall situation, this person is short-sighted, if no one beats him, I don't know what else will happen. Even if you are not a little nephew, you will get into a lot of trouble. Yu Guozhen responded.

Fang Kongzhi sighed helplessly.
