Chapter 261: You can't fight at home

Now Fang Yingwu is not only by his side, but also two concubines, who have been with Wang Ying for a long time, and the slave Xu Youcai and his daughter who have married Wang Yu. These people live in a few small rooms, which are really crowded.

It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, when it was just crossed, Fang Yingwu could definitely stand it, but now it is a little unbearable.

As a wealthy man, Fang Yingwu could certainly afford a house in Jingshi, and it was certainly much more comfortable than curling up in these rooms.

Although the housing price of Jingshi is expensive, it is not as outrageous as in the previous life, and it is not a problem for the other party. Even if you can't buy a house, it's not a problem to live in the Zhejiang Guild Hall.

But don't forget, this is an era of three outlines and five constants, and it is not a joke for the father to be the son. If it is not in the same place, it is fine, if the father and son are in the same place, the behavior of leaving the father and living separately will cause very unpleasant public opinion, and a big hat of unfilial piety should be put on properly.

Therefore, even if Fang Yingwu has a thousand ideas in his heart, for the sake of his reputation, he can probably only "guard the cold kiln" for the time being.

When Fang Yingwu came out of the house and returned to the courtyard, he saw that the steward who had brought them had disappeared. He couldn't help but curse a few words in his heart, he just went into the house to take a look, and before he could speak, the dog slave actually left on his own first.

At this time, a certain servant passed by in front of him, Fang Yingwu stopped him and asked, "There is an old acquaintance, named Fang Yingshi, who should be in the mansion now, why haven't you seen anyone?" ”

"He does the errand of the gardener's handyman, and does not serve as a deacon in front." The man replied.

Fang Yingwu was stunned, how could his father really be the big shopkeeper and leave the family affairs alone?

Fang Yingshi should be the only family member surnamed Fang in the previous house. It was even more that when he left the capital last time, he was reluctant to take away the people left for his father.

Such a person should be used as a confidant. At the very least, you should give a doorman's errand, or a long-term follower by your side. What's more, Fang Ying's stone body is strong. You can also double as a nursing home or bodyguard.

How did you become a gardener? However, Fang Yingwu didn't need to think about it to understand that he was probably squeezed out by these house slaves who married from the Wang family. My father is a person who is addicted to reading, and he is from a poor background and lacks experience as a master and young master, so he is naturally confused in this regard.

When Fang Yingwu went to find his father again, he was told that Master Fang had already gone to the Hanlin Academy. As a model of strict self-discipline, Fang Bianxiu has never been late, never left early, and abides by the rules and regulations of the imperial court, and today he took a half-day off in order to wait for his son.

He went to see Fang Yingshi again, and saw the eight-foot man squatting in the flower bed in a daze. Fang Yingwu sighed. Patted him on the shoulder.

Fang Yingshi turned his head and saw that it was Fang Yingwu, grabbed Fang Yingwu's hand excitedly, and shouted incoherently: "Brother Qiu, I miss you!" I've been thinking about it for almost two years! ”

Fang Yingwu was stirred by the numbness, involuntarily took two steps back, and said incoherently: "Don't think about it, don't think about it." ”

After a while, Fang Yingwu turned back to the house and instructed Xu Youcai and his wife, "You guys help clean up the room first." Then he instructed Wang Ying to follow: "You go out with me." ”

Wang Yu was surprised: "Why did you just enter the house?" Before you sit warm, you want to go out again? Besides, if it's already noon today, you won't eat? ”

Fang Yingwu said with a smile: "I don't have to wait, it's just right to go out at this time." ”

Half a day passed. When Fang Yingwu returned to the mansion, it was getting dark, and he had just entered the courtyard. I saw Xu Youcai going around in circles.

"Little sir! The eldest master has passed the meal over there, and asked you to come over and eat together! Xu Youcai hurriedly reported to the other party.

Fang Yingwu nodded when he heard this. I didn't go back to the house, but went straight to the inner courtyard. Come to the atrium of the main room. Fang Yingwu confessed: "Youlao's father has been waiting for a long time! ”

Fang Qingzhi waved his hand, "Your own family might as well, it was supposed to be a meal for the whole family." But now the fetus is unstable, and your stepmother has to lie still, so she can't come out, so it's just you and me. ”

The father and son sat down to eat together, and during the banquet, Fang Qingzhi asked with concern: "I went to the imperial court during the day, I don't know how you settled?" ”

Fang Yingwu said in a weird manner: "No, I found a few houses in the front side yard, and I can live in my son if I make do with it." The surroundings are very lively, and the handymen come and go with laughter and laughter, and it is never lonely to live there. ”

Fang Qingzhi was a little surprised, and ordered the servants beside him: "Call the king's steward!" ”

After a while, Steward Wang hurriedly walked over, and reported to Fang Qingzhi: "The reason why this is the case is that I think of two concerns in a small way. First, I am worried that the housewife needs to be quiet, and the inner courtyard should not be crowded; The second is that he is worried about avoiding suspicion, the eldest prince has never lived differently, and he is still very strange, but now he is afraid that he will be embarrassed when he suddenly enters the inner courtyard. ”

Fang Qingzhi was silent, feeling that what the steward said was not unreasonable. My own house is not a wealthy mansion, in such a big place, and my wife is pregnant and needs to recuperate, so I can only grieve my son.

When the steward saw the eldest master, he babbled and said, "The housekeeper's business is difficult to do, and if you don't handle it like this, you can't settle down." You also know the situation of the family, the eldest lord, is not a wealthy family, and has lived on dowry for the past two years. In the small view, of course, it is thrifty if it can be saved.

If the son doesn't understand the difficulties of the little housekeeper, and blindly arranges according to his temperament for comfort, then there is no way to kill the little one. ”

This is a complaint, Fang Yingwu applauded and said to his father: "The words of the king's steward are very interesting, as if he accused his son of not doing what he could, ignoring the family's financial resources, and blindly coveting luxury and extravagance."

Fang Qingzhi smiled helplessly, "You don't want to be yin and yang, what else do you think?" In any case, it is much more comfortable than Chun'an's hometown back then. ”

Fang Yingwu suddenly digressed a little and asked, "How do you evaluate the courtier's slander of the monarch?" ”

Although Fang Qingzhi was inexplicable, he still replied: "It's a big rebellion!" ”

"Then what kind of behavior is a son slandering his father?" Fang Yingwu asked again.

"It's disobedience."

Fang Yingwu asked, "The evil slave slandered the master's family, what is this?" At this point, Fang Qingzhi faintly understood what Fang Yingwu meant.

Fang Yingwu sneered and said to his father: "The king is so capable, he dares to define his son indiscriminately, and he dares to make irresponsible remarks in front of your old man."

How did I say I had to live in the inner courtyard? How did I ever say that I had to waste my family's resources to worship me? I only have other opinions, but this king's steward is bent on slandering me in front of you, father! ”

"What do you claim?"

Fang Yingwu explained: "Son, I just went to Lord Fan's house next door to the west, and he happily sold the house to me for five hundred taels.

I went back and opened the wall and built a new inner door, so that I could still live there as a family without affecting my father's side, which was the best of both worlds. ”

Fang Qingzhi was stunned, he was not at home in the afternoon, so he let his son toss such a big move, is his son really uncomfortable? Subconsciously asked, "How could Master Fan sell the mansion to you so easily?" ”

Fang Yingwu said very lightly: "First, because Liu Ge has a handwritten letter, imploring Lord Fan to sell his personal favor, few people can bear this face;

Secondly, the market of the house is worth two or three hundred taels, and my son and I will pay a high price of five hundred taels, and I will not let Lord Fan suffer, and of course he is very happy to double the net profit. ”

Fang Qingzhi was stunned again, "Elder Liu Ge? Liu Boye? How did you have Liu Xiangguo's letter? "The so-called Liu Boye is Liu Mian and Liu Ji.

Fang Yingwu was still very understated, "I went to Liu's Mansion in the afternoon, and it happened that Liu Gong was at home, so I opened my mouth to ask for this favor, and Liu Gong gladly agreed." ”

Regarding Liu Mian's habits, Fang Yingwu knew very well that this pavilion elder was different from his father, and he would skip work and go home at noon.

When it comes to Liu Mian's status, all the regulations of the imperial court are a dead letter, who can care about him because of this trivial matter? So when I go to Liu's Mansion in the afternoon, there is a chance that I will be able to see the elder himself.

Fang Qingzhi is quite incredible, his son actually ran to the Prime Minister's Mansion to ask for favors for this trivial matter that is not on the table, is this a lack of heart? Do you know people well? Are they your relatives?

What's even more incomprehensible to Fang Editor is that the favor of the dignified prime minister and scholar is so precious, that for such a small thing as buying a house, he condescended to write a note to his son to ask for favors, just afraid that the Lord Fan next door would definitely be frightened when he saw the letter.

Looking at his son's leisurely appearance of "everything is under control and won't tell you", Fang Qingzhi felt quite unhappy as a father, and said: "Don't talk nonsense!" What the hell is going on? ”

Fang Yingwu seemed to say a tongue twister: "What you do to others, others will do to you." I don't see Liu Gong, so Liu Gong doesn't see me either, and the result is that everyone doesn't see each other haha"

Fang Qingzhi couldn't understand the deep meaning of Fang Yingwu's words, probably only Fang Yingwu and Liu Gelao tacitly understood.

In fact, the truth is very simple, Fang Yingwu's current residence is not only his own residence, but also the residence of Liu Ge's old beloved daughter in the future, can Liu Ge not help? Do you want your noble daughter to learn from Xue Baochai to live in a cold kiln in the future?

The father and son talked back and forth, and the steward of the king, who was standing next to him, seemed to have been forgotten. But his ears were not out of order, and Fang Yingwu's words were heard clearly word by word, and he couldn't immediately tell what it was like.

He found that he had made a big mistake, this eldest prince was not the kind of eldest young master who was nothing after leaving the family, that kind of person lacked hard power and was easily toyed with in the palm of his hand.

And this eldest prince is different, as if he has a big world of his own, and he is not very dependent on the family. Even without the support of Master Fang Qingzhi, he is still a romantic figure.

A character who can casually enter the Prime Minister's Mansion and beg for this little, can he be underestimated? Even if they move out Wang Shu, the eldest lord of their Wang family, I'm afraid I won't be able to suppress it.

Fang Yingwu shook his head, looked at his father and looked at the king's stewardship, you can't fight politically, and you can't fight at home. (To be continued......)
