The scene of Chun'an County's greeting of Shang Xianggong was more intimate than that of Yanzhou Mansion. Life is rare for seventy years, and there are few scholars in Chun'an County who are contemporaries of Shang Chen, and all of them are here to greet them at this time.

Decades of friendship here, even if you didn't know each other very well back then, you can be a friend at this time. After seeing each other, they stood there and said a few words, and half an hour passed in a flash.

On the other side, a few juniors are also talking about their own topics.

"I have carefully inquired with many old people in the past few days, and finally learned some things about your father and the Hu family back then." Hong Gongzi's expression gradually became serious.

Fang Yingwu hurriedly listened carefully, only to hear Hong Gongzi continue: "At that time, after Ling Tang and Ling Zun got married, they were expelled from the Hu family, and there was no such person in the Hu family.

Later, Ling Tang got seriously ill after giving birth to you, and just wanted to see her father, Mr. Hu, so Ling Zun went to the Hu family to intercede, but was turned away, and was beaten by the Hu family's slaves.

Therefore, after suffering this great shame and death, Ling Zun's temperament changed greatly, and he completely broke off his contacts with the Hu family, and focused on making progress in fame. ”

Although it was an old incident more than ten years ago, Fang Yingwu still felt inexplicable grief and indignation after hearing it, and almost burst into tears.

Is this how his father, who has already achieved fame, survived in this way? Is it in such grief that his mother died of poverty and illness?

He was in a daze for a long time, and he was really not in the mood to stay here. After seeing a vacancy, he stepped forward and said to Shang: "The kid has the honor to accompany the old man to return to his hometown, and now he has to take the first step and say goodbye and return home." ”

A few old guys around Shang Xianggong didn't know Fang Yingwu, and someone asked, "Who is this?" ”

Wang Gui, the magistrate of the county, replied: "Don't you know the son of Xie Yuan today?" ”

"Fang Yingwu? It turned out to be you. An old man surnamed Hu subconsciously said loudly.

Shang Zhen saw that his expression was unnatural, and said with a smile: "Brother Hu seems to recognize him?" ”

Mr. Hu pondered for a moment. Yes, he is Fang Yingwu's nominal grandfather, and at this time he can open his mouth to admit his relatives or not.

After thinking about it, if you recognize your relatives in public now, I'm afraid you will have to explain a lot. In the eyes of others, it is inevitable to be suspicious, questioning why he did not know his grandson in the first place. It is easy to guess that there is a problem in this, and even question that it may be the fault of the Hu family.

So now let's pretend not to know each other, Mr. Hu made a decision. Besides, Fang Yingwu didn't show any intention of recognizing his relatives when he stood in front of him, so why did he take the initiative to come up.

Mr. Hong, who was raised in the same year as Shang Xianggong, stroked his beard and smiled: "It turned out to be a rising star in this county, so I have naturally heard of this name." ”

For the elder of Shang Ge, it didn't matter if Fang Yingwu stayed or not, since Fang Yingwu himself proposed to leave, he wouldn't stop it.

But Mr. Hu suddenly opened his mouth again, "It's better to stay, lest we always be at the table, and the twilight is very gloomy." ”

When Wang Zhixian heard this, he said to stay: "Fang Yingwu, why do you have to leave in a hurry, it's not bad to go home at this time, and stay with a few old gentlemen." ”

Fang Yingwu was very hesitant in his heart, although he pretended not to know each other, he understood very well that Mr. Hu was his grandfather, and he believed that Mr. Hu understood this. Since they have no interest in recognizing each other in public, what does he mean by saying that he is still leaving himself?

Having said that, if he still had to leave, it would be too much of a lift, so Fang Yingwu had to give his hand, and after thanking him, he returned to Hong and Xiang, and continued to stand side by side with them.

Surrounded by all kinds of characters, a group of people came to the Jinxi Hongjia Courtyard. It was still early, and everyone sat in the hall drinking tea.

Tea is produced in the eastern part of Chun'an County, and the Hong family also has some tea gardens, so it is natural to take out the most haode tea to entertain distinguished guests.

Several old people and Wang Zhixian chatted while drinking tea. Under this pattern, Fang Yingwu, Hong Song, and Xiang Chengxian were only standing around at this time.

When the atmosphere in the hall was good, Mr. Hu suddenly bowed his hand to Shang and said, "There is something to ask the elder Ge Lao, and I hope it will be fulfilled." ”

Shang Yu agreed: "Brother Hu has something to say." ”

Fang Yingwu had an ominous premonition, and sure enough, he saw Mr. Hu glance at him, and asked Shang Xianggong: "I have a granddaughter, who is the same age as this Fang Yingwu, and I intend to marry Qin and Jin." Please ask the minister to be a month old and talk about his relatives. ”

Shang Ge Lao was a little surprised, this is asking him to be a matchmaker? Although this adult beauty is not a bad thing, it is a little abrupt.

He groaned slightly, turned his head and asked, "Xiaoyou is also here, what do you think in your heart?" ”

Of course not! Fang Yingwu hurriedly excused himself and said: "Family affairs must be ordered by parents, it is the father who is in charge, and I dare not promise anything, boy." ”

Shang Xianggong said: "Don't be in a hurry, of course, you have to wait for Ling Zun to come back, and then officially tell Ling Zun about it." ”

Fang Yingwu secretly thought, as your old man, who would dare to refuse if you really went to the door to say goodbye? To refuse is to not give face, that is really accurate.

Immediately, he guessed that his grandfather's move was actually a test of his mind. The Hu family in Cixi is a famous family in Chun'an, and there are also high-ranking officials in the court, so the daughter of the Hu family should be very popular, and few people in Chun'an County should refuse such a family affair.

But Fang Yingwu really didn't want to marry the Hu family, no matter what the nominal grandfather's idea was, no matter what the appearance and personality of the Hu family woman, anyway, he was just a thought - he would never agree.

The reason is simple, because the Hu family is too snobbish. The world is full of ups and downs, and he and his father seem to be more "proud of the autumn breeze" recently, but who dares to guarantee that the future will be smooth sailing?

If it really comes to that time, having a snobbish wife will definitely add to the pain and aggravate your own pain. Maybe something will go wrong, just like my father did back then.

He Yingwu would rather find a wife who looks more reliable, at least to make himself worry-free or not to add to the blockage!

The most important thing is that my father has suffered so much humiliation, this revenge has not been avenged, and the Hu family has not expressed any apologies. As a son, how could he casually fall into the face and backbone of the Fang family?

After making up his mind, Fang Yingwu said to Shang Xianggong: "The kindness of the beauty of the old man in the pavilion is understood, but he has the courage to refuse once. The Hu family is high, but it is not what I expected, and our family also has the ambition of the Fang family. ”

Shang Xianggong has been up and down for decades, has experienced countless major events, and has long been sophisticated, and immediately felt that Fang Yingwu's answer had something to say, and it had a meaning. On the other side, hearing Fang Yingwu's decisive refusal in person, Mr. Hu couldn't help but be furious.

He thought about it just now, and felt that pretending to be confused with Fang Yingwu like this was not a long-term way. As long as Fang Qingzhi's father and son become famous, sooner or later this relationship will be discovered.

Rather than being questioned at that time why he broke off his relationship with the Fang family in the first place, or laughing at the Hu family's snobbery at the beginning, it is better to think about it early.

So he came up with this idea. In his opinion, this is a show of favor that is extremely down. As long as Fang Yingwu is willing to buy it, then the matter will naturally be solved. After saving face, the Hu family has nothing to lose.

It's a pity that Fang Yingwu still doesn't give face!

Mr. Hu has never been able to let go of the mentality of charity, and Fang Yingwu is not comparable today, how can he eat his small favors? I have to say that in this regard, Fang Yingwu still inherited Fang Qingzhi's temper.

Mr. Hu said directly: "Elder Ge may not know, in fact, Fang Jieyuan is my son-in-law."

Shang Zhen was taken aback. At that time more than ten years ago, he was dismissed by the Son of Heaven and temporarily stayed at home, and heard about some things about the Hu family. It's just that I didn't expect that the other protagonist was actually Fang Yingwu's father.

Fang Yingwu emphasized loudly: "Boy Huaxi Fang Yingwu, I never know what the Cixi Hu family is!" ”

The hall was stunned, and Wang Zhixian said: "Little Brother Fang should be excited, between relatives, break bones and tendons"

If he hadn't heard what happened to his father, Fang Yingwu might have passed vaguely. But now that he knows about the past, as long as Fang Yingwu is still Fang Qingzhi's son, how can he be ambiguous?

He said categorically: "Since I was a child, my father has never told me about the Hu family, so my father must have my father's reason." Therefore, I followed my father's teachings, and I didn't know what the Cixi Hu family was, and I didn't dare to recognize any relatives without permission. ”

Wang Zhixian still wanted to persuade a few words, but he heard Fang Yingwu swear: "The past entanglement between the elders, it is just that I can't avenge my father, but if I still confess my relatives against my father's wishes, this is forcing me to be unfilial!" The son of unfilial piety is abandoned by man and god! ”
