Fang Zuo's family is a very graceful person, unlike Xiao Qin of the Shen Yun family, who is pretending to be rich and generous. And she is very friendly, always with a gentle smile on her face, and her eyes looking at Shen Yun are also full of love, which reminds Shen Yun of her mother.

Of course, Shen Yun's mother does not have such a good background as Fang Zuo's, but her kind and graceful temperament is the same. That is what ordinary people call aristocracy.

I have to admit that this temperament exists. The so-called three generations of aristocracy, this kind of temperament is by no means something that can be possessed by showing off everywhere with money, or buying dozens of buildings and hundreds of sports cars. It is a kind of nobility from the bones, full of confidence and modesty, not domineering, and never low in tone - this is the noble spirit of the Celestial Empire cultivated by the brilliant Han after five hundred years!

"My Huainan Hou family has been friends with the Bohai Hou family for generations, although the two families are thousands of miles apart, but they have always been in the same breath and helping each other. The old man is big, and he calls Hou Ye a virtuous nephew, is it appropriate? ”

After the guests and hosts were seated, Fang Zuo said kindly to Shen Yun.

Shen Yun straightened his waist and hugged his fists and said, "That's exactly how it should be." My father often mentioned that the two families should be friends for generations, and the little nephew took the liberty to visit this time, and asked my aunt to forgive me for the abruptness. ”

Fang Zuo glanced at Fang Cheng, who had been standing aside, and said with a slight smile: "Xiao Yu has grown up and made good friends, and his old body is also pleased. When I heard that Ling Zun was invited, my husband also made an early trip to the imperial capital, but unfortunately he was one step late. Alas, people are not as good as heaven, and the old body has been angry for a long time, but he can only pray for Ling Zun day and night. Don't mention these things, but fortunately, the virtuous nephew has inherited the family business, so he should be encouraged. By the way, some time ago, the day of the hall entrusted people to bring some seasonal fruits of the Bohai Sea, the old body has not been willing to eat, today the virtuous nephew came in person, just take it out to taste! ”

Shen Yun was also a little pleased. The fruit of the hometown of this life. But I haven't even eaten it myself. When Fuling returned to his hometown, he encountered a lot of things, and he was thankful that he could have something to eat, but later in winter, he had no chance to eat special products. In other words, what seasonal fruits does North Korea have? Shen Yun was a little puzzled.

As for why his mother Shen Yuan sent seasonal fruits to the Huainan Hou Mansion, Shen Yun was not surprised. The Bohai Hou family and the Huainan Hou family have been friends for generations, this is not an empty word. The two families will exchange letters at the turn of the four seasons every year. When it comes to the birthday festival, the two housewives are also worried about asking their subordinates to prepare gifts in advance and send them to each other. This tradition has continued for hundreds of years and has never stopped.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, although Shen Yun's father Shen Ao made Xiao Qin the eldest lady of the Marquis of Bohai, the relationship with the Huainan Hou family was still in charge of Shen Yuan's family. Especially last year, Bohai County suffered such a big disaster, and the Huainan Hou family was like-minded. Led by Fang Zuo, the wife of the Hou of Huainan, a large amount of money and materials were donated, otherwise it would be difficult to survive for a while by relying solely on the people of the Bohai Hou Shen clan, and helping the people of the Bohai Sea to defend against the plague.

In the past year, it was the beginning of another year, and the mother on the Bohai Sea sent someone to send seasonal fruits for Fang Zuo's family to try.

When Geng Wang went to instruct his subordinates to prepare the fruits. Seeing that the two of them had been politely coming and going, Fang Xiaomei finally couldn't help it. Moved a small step in front of Fang Zuo's side, and pulled the corner of her clothes with his little hand. Said pitifully: "Mother, can you put these household things aside first?" Brother Fang Zhong is still fighting to the death there......"

Fang Zuo's willow eyebrows were raised, and he was suddenly cold: "Hmph, there is still a face to say, if it weren't for you, how could someone from the Ying family come to the door?" How do I usually teach you? The people of our Huainan Hou Mansion, don't bully others, eat a small loss outside, it doesn't matter, our Hou Mansion is big, I don't care about that. But you're good, you want to buy 'Jiaoyu' meat to eat, and you find out that you have been deceived and look for that wild seed to come out, you really want to be angry and die? ! ”

Fang Xiaomei was counted down by Fang Zuo's family, and she was already hanging water droplets on her eyelashes, and she wanted to cry. That pitiful appearance is really a bit distressing.

Seeing this, Fang Zuo's heart was also soft-hearted, he sighed, lowered his voice and said: "Eat a trench and grow wise, can you be in the limelight again in the future, remember?" Don't worry, although it is clamored outside that Zhou Zhang is the youngest son of the Ying family, but I also told you that Ying Gong has several children, and that Zhou Zhang is at most just a person in the Ying family, and if he dies, he will die, and it will be no big deal. Let that wild seed toss, he has rough skin and thick meat, and he can't be killed for a while, if he kills that person, he is not afraid, our Huainan Hou Mansion does not bully people, but we can't let others bully it. Everything will wait until the results are available. ”

Fang Xiaomei saw that her mother refused to let go to stop the death fight, and looked at her brother pitifully.

Fang Cheng was also soft-hearted, and was about to speak, but Fang Zuo said directly: "And you, Xiaoyu, don't think about helping that wild seed get ahead." Although this matter was not intentional by my Hou Mansion, if he didn't even let him fight to the death, Ying Gong would not let it go easily. ”

"But mother, once this fight to the death begins, it will be a feud between life and death, is it because of this trivial matter that the two families are not harmonious?" Fang Cheng began to reason from the overall situation, and did not shy away from Shen Yun. However, this is Huainan Hou's family matter, and Shen Yun has no room to intervene.

Fang Zuo glanced at Shen Yun, who had been unable to interject, and said, "If there is no such thing, will we be in harmony with the Ying family?" The Zhou family in Jinling is rich in the world, convenient for maritime business, and accessible to the world. But to go to the hinterland of my Han, but you have to pass through my Huainan, think about it, can our family have harmony with it? The virtuous nephew is also here, and I am not afraid to say it clearly, when His Majesty the Holy Ancestor divided my ancestors here, it may not be that there is no intention to check and balance the Ying Gong. So we occasionally have a little conflict with the Ying family, it doesn't matter, even if Your Majesty knows, it's a big deal to play fifty boards each, and it won't hurt the overall situation! ”

Shen Yun was slightly distracted when he heard this. Jinling must be the Nanjing of later generations, where it should be the place where the British family is divided, and it is convenient to go to sea from there, but to go to the interior, whether it is to go south to Minyue or west to Jingxiang, it is indeed necessary to pass the pass of Huainan Hou. In this way, when Emperor Shengzu divided the princes, there was already an arrangement for mutual checks and balances, so who is my Bohai Marquis in Bohai County to check and balance? Who is the counterbalance to me?

Fang Cheng Shen Yun is a smart person, just think about it carefully and understand the trick, in front of the overall situation, anyone can be sacrificed, let alone the "wild seed" in Fang Zuo's mouth.

As for that Fang Zhong, Shen Yun had never even met him, let alone his feelings, his life or death was none of his business. Shen Yun just sighed that this point of mutual checks and balances between nobles should actually be transmitted to him by his father, but now it was told by Fang Zuo's clan. In the final analysis, it is still the Huainan Hou family and the Bohai Hou family who have been friends for generations. It is the duty and responsibility to pass on some news. For this, Shen Yun is still quite grateful.

Shen Yun respectfully clasped his fists and saluted: "Aunt is right, this matter is a matter for the juniors of the family, so it should be handled by the juniors. I believe Ying Gong thinks so too. If Ying Gong himself did not send someone to intervene, we would have recklessly intervened in person, and then it would make the matter bigger, and when the time came. Not only are we in a dilemma, but I am afraid that we will also fall into the handle and let Ying Gong and others attack wantonly, strictly speaking, this is a big trouble! ”

Fang Zuo smiled and nodded, turned his face to the other party and said, "Look at the Bohai Marquis, although the age is similar to you." But speaking and doing things already have the style of a father, thoughtful, and well-founded. It's you, as soon as you go home, you are reckless, and you say that you want the Marquis of Bohai to stop the death fight with the respect of the marquis, and even the Ying Gong has not come forward, you let the dignified Marquis come forward, isn't it a joke to spread this? ! ”、

After speaking, he turned his face and taught Fang Xiaomei a lesson. "And you. Always listen to the wind and rain, and it's not as quiet as your sister was when she was a child. Tell you that when you don't go to school, you can stay at home and learn some embroidery women, but you always follow the wild seed to run around, it's really getting more and more unlikely, wait for your father to come back, see if I don't sue you, let your father clean you up! ”

Fang Xiaomei's mouth was deflated, she shook off her hands and feet, glared at Shen Yun fiercely, and said angrily: "If you don't help, you won't help, and you will talk cool things, you will be satisfied watching my brother Zhong being beaten to death, right?!" ”

Then he rushed the small cannon barrel towards Fang Cheng, "Stinky third brother, rotten third brother, look at the good friends you have made." If Brother Fang Zhong is really beaten to death, see if your father comes back and beats you or me! After saying that, he didn't care about others, Xiao Man's waist twisted and ran out like the wind.

Fang Zuo said angrily in the back: "You dead girl, hurry up and come back to me!" Fang Xiaomei ignored it, and her figure quickly disappeared outside the hall.

Geng Wang was about to come in, and when he saw this situation, he didn't wait for his wife's instructions, so he instructed a few subordinates to hurry up. The little ancestor of the Fang family has always been such a temper, he is more like a boy than a girl, if he runs out, he may cause some trouble, so he should quickly send someone to keep up.

Fang Zuo's clan saw Xiao Nizi running away, and said to Shen Yun angrily: "Alas, let the virtuous nephew smile, when she comes back, the old body will definitely be strictly disciplined." What a faux pas! ”

Shen Yun couldn't comment on this matter. No matter how rude Fang Zuo's clan called Fang Zhong "wild seed", or how rude Fang Xiaomei was, he was the Marquis of Bohai and couldn't add more beaks. Although he himself has no prejudice against whether it is the Qingxu Cao clan or the descendants of the Yuan clan in Liaodong, this kind of thinking cannot be forcibly instilled in others, especially the Fang Zuo clan in front of him.

"The aunt is serious, and the little sister has a straightforward temperament and doesn't let the eyebrows be shaved. It has the strong demeanor of my two ancestors, and I should be glad that it is. Shen Yun paused, and saw Fang Cheng winking at him vigorously, and after thinking about it carefully, he also understood, in fact, Fang Cheng also wanted to help that Fang Zhong, so he said: "But the virtuous nephew wants to come, if this matter really causes people's lives, it is quite inappropriate, no matter what, that Fang Zhong is also from my Huainan Hou Mansion, and it is not beautiful to easily let the people of the Ying family take advantage of it." I wonder what my aunt thinks? ”

Fang Zuo frowned and thought for a long time, then nodded, "It also makes sense." It's just that this deathmatch has begun, what can we do? ”

When Fang Zuo said this, he put Shen Yun in the same position as her to discuss. This is the impact of status, if Shen Yun is still the prince now, instead of the Marquis of Bohai certified by the imperial court, Fang Zuo is estimated to teach a lesson as an elder.

Shen Yun thought for a while and said, "We can't personally intervene in this matter, but we can let outsiders help." I think that the county guard of Huainan City doesn't want to see the people of the Ying family, or the people of the Huainan Hou family die under their rule, right? ”

Speaking of this county guard, Fang Zuo shook his head again and again: "The county guard Yang Chengming is eager for quick success and quick profit, and he is a little arrogant, but he has made it difficult for my Huainan Hou Mansion in the past few years. Let's talk about it, I have also tasted the 'Jiaoyu' meat, and it really tastes wrong. I don't know what Yang Chengming's plan is, and he will directly pronounce this meat as true. If it weren't for that, I'm afraid it wouldn't have gotten to where it is now. This suggestion is inappropriate. ”

"That ......"

Shen Yun was about to speak again, when a person hurriedly ran outside the hall, and shouted outside the hall: "Madam, it's not good, it's not good!" ”

Geng Wang immediately went out to reprimand: "What's the matter, don't you see the lady and the distinguished guest talking, I don't know the rules!" ”

The man hurriedly lowered his voice and whispered a few words in Geng Wang's ear. Then I saw Geng Wang's face change. Hurriedly came in, wanted to say and glanced at Shen Yun again, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

Shen Yun was about to say goodbye, but Fang Zuo shouted: "The virtuous nephew is not an outsider, it's a big deal, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Geng Wang said at this time: "Madam, someone came to report just now." Hongqing Lou has a result there. ”

"Huh? The result? Is Fang Zhong okay? Fang Cheng, who had never dared to speak, suddenly said urgently.

Geng Wang glanced at Fang Zuo's clan and said hesitantly: "Fang Zhong is fine, it's just that Zhou Ming, who challenged him, was killed again!" Not only Zhou Ming, but also the other three sons and nephews of the Zhou family were also killed together! ”

"Huh?!" At this time, even Fang Zuo's family was a little moved. Qi Dao: "How can this be? But they couldn't beat them up, but they were killed? ”

As soon as these words came out, Shen Yun knew that Fang Zuo's clan didn't really care about Fang Zhong's life or death at all, what he cared about was whether those people were legally beaten to death by Fang Zhong, if not, the county guard had the power to arrest people, so that's it. The Huainan Hou family will definitely be implicated.

Fortunately, Geng Wang quickly replied: "That's not it." After Zhou Ming was beaten to death, the other nephews became angry. Immediately renew the contract of life and death, and fight again immediately. However, Fang Zhong is really good, he even picked four strong men on the other side, but he was unscathed, and now he is returning to the Hou Mansion! ”

Fang Zuo let out a sigh, but immediately straightened his face: "Since it's okay, let him go home first, what are you doing in the mansion now?" Tell him that there is a distinguished guest in the house tonight, and he is not allowed to come recklessly, go home and wash up before coming over! ”

"Whoa." Geng Wang got the news and immediately went to pass on his life.

Shen Yun still didn't understand what the concept of picking four people in a row was, but Fang Zuo had already muttered: "I didn't expect this wild seed to be so good, I underestimated him before." After speaking, he was surprised to realize that someone else was there, so he smiled apologetically and said to Shen Yun: "I don't know, the four people of the Ying family, the old body has also seen it, and they are quite brave, otherwise they would not dare to come to the war letter, it is said that three of them are still veterans in the Jiaolong Guard, but they didn't want to be killed by the wild seed, which really surprised the old body." ”

Shen Yun called Fang Zhong a "wild seed" from the Fang Zuo family, and he was also a little uncomfortable in his heart, no matter what, Fang Wei recognized this son, you are a mother and still call it that...... Of course, no one is perfect, and Fang Zuo's grace and kindness are true, but Fang Zhong's disgust is also obvious. And this disgust is a bit excessive in the eyes of Shen Yun, who has the concept of modern people.

Shen Yun couldn't say anything at the moment, so he could only say casually: "This Fang Zhong is very skilled, and the little nephew will want to see him later." ”

"Well, it doesn't hurt to see you. In the evening, the old body will arrange a banquet, so let Xiaoyu accompany him! Look, after talking for so long, the old man forgot to arrange accommodation for his nephew. Someone! Fang Zuo shouted, and immediately a maid came out to answer, "Go and tell Steward Fu in the back house to clean up Guiyun Yuan and welcome Bohai Hou to move in." The maid answered.

The three of them said a few more casual words, and Shen Yun knew that Fang Cheng and the White Tiger Cult had something to talk to Fang Zuo about, so he withdrew under the pretext of being tired.

Guiyun Garden is an annex of Huainan Hou Mansion, just east of Hou Mansion, is a courtyard with an independent portal, elegant and chic.

Geng Wang, who is responsible for guiding the way, as the head of the Hou Mansion, Shen Yun's identity is extremely noble, which makes others lose their respect. He said that Guiyunyuan usually does not live in people, and only when the distinguished guests come to the door, will someone come to clean the shop. Of course, there are people here who clean from time to time, and now it will not be too troublesome to move in, just simply lay down the bedding.

Only here did Shen Yun truly experience the strict hierarchy of the feudal era, as well as the superiority and inferiority brought about by the difference in rank.

After Geng Wang made the arrangement, when he saw Shen Yun showing a sleepy look, he didn't bother much, and left with a confession. Leaving two maids and three servants to serve beside him.

In the wing, Shen Yun was about to ask someone to fetch water to wash up, when he suddenly heard the voice of a subordinate outside: "Miss, Miss, Mrs. has a life, don't disturb the guests!" ”

"Get out of here, I'm going to humiliate this unscrupulous marquis who doesn't help and falls into the well!" Fang Xiaomei's unique domineering voice sounded outside the wing.

Shen Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seemed that he was going to have one more nickname.

"Let her in!" Shen Yun is not afraid of this little girl, in the final analysis, she is just young and impulsive, and in terms of personality and temperament, she has a lot in common with those modern girls that Shen Yun met in her previous life, so she is a little close in her heart.

The little girl rushed in like a gust of wind again, stared at Shen Yun viciously, and scolded like a machine cannon in her mouth: "You unscrupulous marquis, why don't you let Brother Fang Zhong go back to the house first?" Why do you want to occupy my Qi Yun Yuan? As soon as you come to my house, you will make it rainy, what kind of heart do you have? Do you really think that you are a marquis and that we all want to let you go? Let me tell you, we are also from the Hou Mansion, you are so domineering and useless, be careful that I Guiyun let Brother Fang Zhong beat you and you can't take care of yourself! ”

Shen Yun was speechless for a while. Conscience of heaven and earth, how do I know that this Guiyun Yuan is where you live? What's more, it wasn't me who asked Fang Zhong not to go back to the house first. I have to be listened to! This little girl is too arrogant, isn't she? Hmm, her name is Fang Guiyun? Then this Guiyun Yuan is really her boudoir? (To be continued.) )
