Fang Yun smiled and asked, "Brother Da Niu, who asked you to call me Young Master?"

"Mom and Dad said, saying that you are different now, you can no longer call you brother, now call you young master, when you are lifted, I still have to call you master. Fang Da Niu said.

"It's all my own family, so I don't have to see it like this. ”

"That's not good, I can't embarrass our Fang family, I can call it whatever I want, otherwise how can I be your long-term follower? ”

Fang Yun didn't say anything, his eyes fell on the three letters in his hand, Fang Daniu was not wrong, his current status was indeed different.

Fang Yun didn't blame Cai He for snatching the Zhenguo poem, after all, it was impossible for another examiner to give him double armor, and he might not be able to teach him the scriptures seriously, let alone recommend him to three masters at once.

When the sun rose and the weather warmed up, Fang Yun opened the curtains, took out a copy of "The Book of Rites" from the bookcase, and began to read it in a low voice.

Yang Yuhuan looked at Fang Yun quietly, occasionally the corners of his mouth curled, Xia Fei's cheeks flew away, and he didn't know what Lu Dao thought.

The carriage went all the way, Fang Yun closed his eyes and rested when he was tired, and after resting for a while, he continued to read in a low voice.

I don't know how long it took, the carriage was getting closer and closer to Dayuan Mansion, and Fang Yun was reading "Gentleman Yuan Cook", when suddenly a white shadow rushed in from the window.

Fang Yun was defenseless and startled, and a snow-white fox pounced on his lap, with a wisp of aroma and a faint smell of blood, without the slightest animal stench.

Yang Yuhuan looked at the fox curiously, showing pity, but Mrs. Jiang's face changed drastically, and she shouted: "Young Master Fang, be careful, it may be a monster!"

Fang Yun was shocked in his heart, and was about to throw the fox out of the coffin, but the fox suddenly raised its head, looked at him with dark eyes, showed a pleading look, then closed its eyes, screamed softly, and passed out.

In normal times, Fang Yun might just throw it away, but he just read "Gentleman Far Away Cooking", so he hesitated.

The gentleman is far away from the kitchen also appeared in "Mencius", this sentence does not mean to look down on the kitchen, but refers to the fact that people have compassion, if not a chef, when encountering the kitchen to kill living creatures, it will always be unbearable, so it is best not to see that scene, do not hear the sorrow of living creatures before they die, so the gentleman should stay away from the kitchen.

However, in the era when scholars went into battle to kill the enemy, the original meaning of this statement was somewhat out of place, so it was extended to mean that anyone has the right to eat meat, but he cannot kill living creatures for pleasure, and he cannot torture and kill.

Yang Yuhuan said in a low voice: "This should be an ordinary fox, even if it is a demon, he has never killed anyone." If a monster kills someone, the circles under its eyes will turn red, and there will be a fishy smell on its body, similar to rotten fish, I have smelled it. ”

Fang Yun thought for a while, looked down and observed the little fox's wound, it seemed to be scratched by an animal's claws, the blood near the wound had dried up, and the wound had also scarred, indicating that the battle had passed for at least several hours, and the possibility of being followed by the enemy was very small, so there was no danger in taking it in.

Fang Yun didn't take it lightly, he poked his head out of the window, the forest on the side of the road was not moving, there were other carriages dozens of zhang later, and he looked in the direction of Dayuan City, and he could already see the outline of the city wall of Dayuan Mansion, no matter how bold the demon beasts were, they didn't dare to spread wild here, because the holy temple in the Academy of Literature was vigilant all the time.

"Xiaoyun, what about this fox?" Yang Yuhuan asked.

Fang Yun said: "Ask the guards when you cross the city gate, if they think it's not a harmful monster, bring it in, and if so, let the soldiers deal with it." ”

"Oh. Yang Yuhuan wanted to save this little fox, but Fang Yun's attitude was more important, so she didn't say anything.

Fang Yun sniffed it lightly again, this fox was particularly fragrant.

Fang Yun immediately used the strange book world to inquire, and soon found a travelogue by the half-saint Chen Guanhai, mentioning the most precious fragrant fox of the fox family, and only wrote "the whole body is different fragrance" and "rare in the world" and so on.

Fang Yun suspected that this fox was the priceless fragrant fox, and the fox fur of this fox could be used as a fragrant fox pen.

A Xianghu pen can be sold for more than 10,000 taels, because using a Xianghu pen to write war poems can enhance the strength of at least one percent, and if it is combined with ink made of demon beast blood, it can increase the power by more than two percent. The bigger the fox, the better the effect.

Fragrant foxes are extremely rare, and it is said that there are only a dozen of them in existence.

This fox was too small, its tail was as long as its body, and its tail was only as long as Fang Yun's palm, almost like a little squirrel.

Fang Yun carefully checked the little fox's wounds again, they were all scarred and did not need special treatment.

When he came to the city gate, Fang Yun asked Fang Daniu to stop, and then he walked out of the car with the little fox in his arms.

The city wall of Dayuan Mansion is four zhang high, the bluestone base is stacked, it is solid, it looks very secure, and it is said that a great Confucian presided over the construction.

There were five armoured soldiers on each side of the gates, who did not check passing vehicles and did not collect taxes on entering the city.

Fang Yun walked up to a soldier and asked, "I picked up a fox on the road and wanted to raise it myself, but I don't know if Lu Dao is a monster, I want to ask if there is any way to test it." ”

When the soldier saw that Fang Yun was wearing a child's robe, he replied, "This place is shrouded in the power of the Holy Temple, if there is a problem with this fox, the Holy Temple will immediately suppress it." You can always bring it in. ”

"Thank you. Fang Yun thanked the soldiers and returned to the car.

Fang Daniu continued to drive the carriage to the residence where Liang Yuan had already chosen.

Fang Yun had never been to Dayuan Mansion, but no matter how prosperous it was, it couldn't compare to the world where commerce was highly prosperous, so he was not interested, thinking about how to do a bookstore, thinking about what books to sell first.

Yang Yuhuan was different, she lifted the curtains and looked at Dayuan Mansion curiously, which was much larger than Ji County, and people were coming and going.

Dayuan Mansion is the capital of Jiangzhou and the political center of Jiangzhou, but the military center and commercial center of Jiangzhou is not Dayuan Mansion, but Yuhai Mansion five hundred miles away, which is located at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and the East China Sea outside the city, which is the place of trade between Jingguo and Haimin, and is extremely prosperous.

Liang Yuan had already come to Dayuan Mansion five days ago, and sent a letter to Fang Yun yesterday, helping Fang Yun choose a cheap single courtyard to rent for three months, five taels of silver per month. At the same time, he also chose a bookstore that was ready to be redeemed, and he could go to the government to go through the formalities just by waiting for the party to arrive.

According to the location on the letter, the carriage came to Laoshi Lane, where Liang Yuan was waiting.

Fang Yun got out of the carriage and greeted Liang Yuan, talking in detail about the house and the bookstore as he walked.

The house is a little smaller than Fang Yun's house, it is a very ordinary small house, but Fang Yun doesn't care, and when the bookstore is profitable in the future, he will directly buy a larger courtyard to live in.

After tidying up a little and having lunch, Fang Yun took Yang Yuhuan and Liang Yuan to leave, first went to sign the rental contract, and then went to Dayuan Fang's house. He said that he would give the Dayuan Fang family a share, and he wanted to borrow the brand of the Dayuan Fang family to avoid others from finding fault, especially the Liu family.

The car stopped at the door of Fang's house, the door was open, and the plaque on the door read the words "Fangfu".

Fang Yun looked inside, and it was not a large courtyard with a few entrances and exits, but a garden.

Behind the gate is a cobblestone pavement with gardens on both sides, and the cobblestone road separates when it reaches the rockery, behind which should be the main garden.

At the door stood two men dressed in black, but one had no left arm, and the other had a right eye covered by an eye patch, and the two looked resolute, looking like they had been soldiers.

Fang Yun respected Fang Shouye even more in his heart, no wonder they all said that Fang Shouye was the number one hero in Dayuan Mansion.

Fang Yun arched his hand and said: "Good two, I am Fang Yun of Jixian County, and I am the nephew of Fang Shouye's uncle, and I agreed with my uncle to discuss the matter of buying shares in the bookstore." ”

A family member immediately said: "The general got an urgent report yesterday and has returned to Yuhai City, the eldest lady has instructed that the head of the plan will take her directly to see her, please come with me." ”

Fang Yun smiled and said, "Xie Luxie." Then he motioned for Yang Yuhuan and Liang Yuan to follow.

The family took the three people around the rockery and came to the second courtyard, but the second courtyard had no houses, it was still a rockery, flowers and trees, except for the door when it came, there were three round arches in the east, west and north directions, leading to the three courtyards respectively.

And there are two courtyards in the east and west, and then there are gates and yards in the east and west.

"The legendary tyrant deserves to be a famous family. Fang Yun thought to himself.

Walking to the third courtyard, Fang Yun finally saw the main hall of the Fang Mansion, which was bigger than the courtyard and house of Fang Yun's house.

In the innermost part of the main hall are two Taishi chairs, with six pairs of tables on the left and right sides, and chairs on both sides of the square table.

But there was no one in the main hall.

The family asked Fang Yun to sit in the main hall, and then said to go in and find the eldest lady.

Liang Yuan secretly looked around, and whispered excitedly: "Fang Yun, it seems that the Fang family attaches great importance to you, and will take you directly to the main hall, if others estimate that they can only wait in the side hall." This is a famous family, and ordinary people have to go to the side hall to enter Fang's house. ”

Yang Yuhuan nodded involuntarily, putting his hands on his laps, looking very restrained.

Fang Yun looked at the main hall generously, worthy of two generations of famous families, scholarly doors, the main hall has ancient bottles, ink treasures, potted plants, landscapes, elegant and simple, without a trace of extravagance.

On the wall there are clothes couplets:

The mountains are like twilight, and they are still relying on the red sun and the clouds.

The remnant sun drips blood, as if Honghong is to Bixin.

Fang Yun couldn't help but nodded.

"Xiaoyun is here, your uncle doesn't praise you less, let your aunt take a look at our Fang family's Qilin'er. ”

Before anyone arrived, the voice came first, and the tone was full of surprise and enthusiasm.

The three of them stood up immediately, and they heard the jingle of rings, and the bead curtain on the east side of the main hall was lifted by two little maids, and a graceful and luxurious middle-aged woman walked in.

This woman was wearing a long red dress, not very beautiful, but she was beautiful, rich and noble, and she smiled very kindly.

This person was followed by a slightly younger middle-aged woman, dressed in a green dress, who was also full of smiles, but the smile was much faker.

Fang Yun couldn't tell who the person behind the eldest lady was, so he arched his hand and said, "My nephew has seen my aunt." ”

Yang Yuhuan and Liang Yuan also hurriedly saluted, but neither spoke.

The eldest lady smiled: "What a handsome young man, no wonder Shouye is full of praise for you." Come, let my aunt take a good look. By the way, this is your second aunt, and we just talked about you. ”

Fang Yunzhi has a younger brother who is just a showman, but he has a bad reputation, and he fights in Qinglou all day long. This should be the second lady of the Fang family, and the concubine can only be called aunt, not lady.
