Chapter 369: "Seeking Fortune"
Fang Yun quickly sketched out the relationship network of the housekeeper in his heart, the housekeeper had a close relationship with King Kang, and King Kang had coveted the position of King Jingguo for a long time, and it was even rumored that King Kang used the strange poison of the demon world to poison the first emperor, so that the first emperor was sick in bed since he was a teenager and could not walk. Even with Chen Sheng's treatment, he did not live past the age of thirty, and even the current monarch is the son of King Ning, not the first emperor's own son.
King Kang has been in business for many years, has been deeply rooted in Jingguo, and is the most powerful person except for the Queen Mother and the Zuo Xiang.
King Kang follows the royal rules, and he wants the throne not to be admitted to the Jinshi, just a person, but his wife has an extraordinary identity, she is the daughter of the head of the half-saint family of Wuguo, and there is a half-saint family and Wuguo as the backer, King Kang's power in Jingguo is thriving, if it weren't for the fact that the first emperor had already prepared to succeed King Anyue, now King Kang has become the monarch of Jingguo.
"Master, come in and say, can you make it convenient for you?" Fang Yun finished speaking and looked at the soldiers.
"When the elders visit, we naturally can't stop us, you can say it casually, just when we are not there. A captain grinned.
"Thank you, brothers. ”
Fang Yun invited Mrs. Wang to the living room, ordered someone to serve tea, and then said, "You go on." ”
Mrs. Wang sighed and said, "My family Zhengying is studying in the capital, do you know about this?"
"I heard from my classmates that Mr. Wang's tiger father has no dogs, and Brother Zhengying was one of the top ten talents in Dayuan Mansion five years ago, and he went to the 'Mingzhi Academy' in the capital two years ago to study, and it seems that he will come back next year to participate in the examination. Fang Yundao.
Mrs. Wang's face was bitter, and she said: "As soon as the manager named Guan Changyu entered the door, he talked to us about Zhengying, and specially said that Zhengying had affection for the third lady of the Huang family, a famous family in the capital, and was about to talk about marriage. We all know these things, but he said what we don't know, even if the third lady is from the side room, after all, she is a famous family in the capital. The Huang family made three demands. The first is to ask Zhengying to be admitted to the examination, the second is that Zhengying must settle down in the capital to settle down in the house, and the third is to ask for 10,000 taels of silver as a dowry. ”
Fang Yun understood as soon as he heard that Wang Zhengying was very hopeful of taking the exam, but that might have to wait for three or five years later, as for settling down in the capital to settle down in the house, it was much more difficult than the examiner, only Jinshi could directly become a person from the capital, and without the relationship between the senior members of the five grades or above, it would be difficult for even a person to settle in the capital.
The capital of Jingguo was built into a powerful fortress by the demi-saints and great Confucians of the past dynasties. Especially in the years when the demon clan was about to break through the Two Realms Mountain, the Jingguo royal family used all their wealth to strengthen the capital, and it can be said that the capital of the Holy Courtyard, Confucius City and the Ten Kingdoms was the last fortress of the human race.
"Our family is just an ordinary family, even if we have other livelihoods, we can have four or five hundred taels of silver left all year round, and more than half of them are given to Zhengying to study in the capital. The house that the Huang family said must not be an ordinary house, and it can't be brought down without five thousand taels of silver. In fact, the most difficult thing is to transfer the household registration to the capital, which is even more difficult than ascending to the sky! When our family Zhengying is admitted to the Jinshi, the daughter of the Huang family does not know how many babies she has given birth to others!"
Fang Yun asked: "Then the head of the house, Yu, is threatening Brother Zhengying's future?"
"Isn't it?" the man said. As long as we sell the longevity fruit to him, the affairs of Zhengying and the Huang family's daughters will be wrapped up in him, and we will also ensure that our master has a position with oil and water in the capital, even if he enters the Jingguo Xue Palace, he can discuss it. ”
"The other party is reluctant. Fang Yundao.
"yes. Our lord also admits that the price is not low. But I can't buy a life span of 10 years! Even if he agrees, I can't agree, human life is at stake! Then Guan Chang Yu can't see it, so he confides in the truth. Wu Guo's Yi Zhishi is about to be canonized, and King Kang wants to send a congratulatory gift and is thinking of a way. That's when we got it. The housekeeper wants to befriend King Kang, but what good things can he have as a famous family? He can only go to Yuhai City, after all, he can trade with the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, and maybe he can buy some treasures. ”
"Then the chief Yu heard about the four longevity fruits?"
"Yes. On the second day of junior high school, my lord and the other four people met and knew that Guan Changyu had also been to the four people's homes, but none of the four of them agreed. Alas, these five people have the right temper, they have become friends, and now they don't care who the longevity fruit belongs to, but they get together all day long to chat and drink tea, and they really think of themselves as old men!"
"Could it be that Governor Yu is going to your house again?" Fang Yun asked.
"Isn't it!" Mrs. Wang wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief with a crying voice, "That Guan Changyu said that if we don't sell the longevity fruit to the housekeeper, they will not only find a way to break up my son Zhengying and the Huang family's daughter, but also drive my son out of the Mingzhi Academy." Our master scolded the head manager Yu out, I thought about it, I was afraid that he would harm our family Zhengying, so I could only find you. ”
Fang Yun suddenly smiled coldly and said, "He knew that the longevity extension fruit was given to several people to prolong his life, he knew that Mr. Wang was my teacher, and he knew that Mr. Wang and the other five people saved my life, so he dared to go to your house?"
Mrs. Wang said: "On the first day of the new year, he was polite, but today he was very domineering, although he didn't mention you, but the meaning of his words was that he dared to go to our house only when he saw that you had an accident." I'm not here to ask you for any great help, or you can send a message to give a longevity fruit to our old king, and we will sell it to the housekeeper. If you can talk to the people in the capital, we don't ask for anything else, we don't want to read the book, we can't afford to climb the Huang family's daughter, we just don't hurt Zhengying. My wife doesn't know any big officials, so I can only ask you here. My wife also knows that you are not in a good situation, and if you are really in trouble, she will never force it. ”
Mrs. Wang was a little deliberate at first, but when she said that her son was sad, tears kept flowing.
Fang Yun pondered for a moment and said, "Guan Changyu left you the address of your residence, right?"
"I stayed on the first day of junior high school, saying that there was news for us to go to him. ”
"Well, then you go to him now, and just say that our fortune has said, that longevity fruit is something I gave to the five of them, and no one can rob it! You sue him, if he doesn't leave Dayuan Mansion tonight, I will ask someone to break his leg tomorrow and teach him where he can walk and where he can't walk!"
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she shook her head while wiping her tears: "I only beg to spare our family Zhengying, and I can't let you offend people." I'll leave now, and don't tell our lord that he will kill me if he knows that I am begging you. He turned around and left.
Fang Yun said: "Master, be slow, I want to teach Guan Changyu a lesson, not to help you, but for myself, the longevity fruit is what I gave away! At this time, although I am in trouble, I can't let anyone slaughter me! If Mrs. Wang is afraid, tell me the address of that person, and I will find someone to let him go!"
Mrs. Wang looked at Fang Yun with some surprise, but she didn't expect that the polite little scholar that her husband often said would have such a ruthless side.
Mrs. Wang wiped her tears and said, "Since you are willing to help with this, then I, the wife, cannot be afraid! I will go to him, whether it succeeds or not, I can no longer trouble you." ”
Fang took away Mrs. Wang, stood in the courtyard for a long time, snorted coldly, I didn't expect that as soon as I had an accident, all the cows, ghosts, snakes and gods would jump out, if I didn't have an accident, I would not dare to go to Wang's house a second time if I gave the chief Yu a hundred dares.
Fang Yun was about to go to the study when he suddenly received a letter from Cai He.
After learning that I cut off my robe with you, he actually took his son Fang Zhongyong to my house and dedicated an article that is considered a prose, called "Remembering Uncle Fang Yun", which is full of bad things about you, saying that you were extremely bad when you were a child, and finally said that you are three years old to see how old you are, and that today's bitter fruits are all your own fault. Fang Zhongyong's child was tossed, and his eyes lost his previous spirituality. ”
Fang Yun smiled after seeing it, he had felt that Fang Li was unbearable before, and today he finally verified it.
After a while, Fang Li actually passed the book.
Fang Yun opened it and saw that Hongyan was lined up with words: The matter of Brother Yun has embarrassed the whole Fang family, and it is rumored that Cai Zhixian wants to take the Fang clan under the knife. For the sake of our clan, I wrote a small article for my brother Rang Zhongyong, which can not only make the magistrate give up blaming the Fang family, but also make your nephew Zhongyong's name spread. It is not harmful to your heart to be a brother, and I hope that Brother Yun will not blame your brother for a hard time. In the coming day, you will go back to Jixian County and make amends for your brother's sin. Autumn Ann.
Fang luck smiled, just a few days ago, Fang Li's biography was also a "contemptible person" on the left and a "contemptible person" on the right, and today, "Lord Wenhou" was replaced by "Brother Yun", and "contemptible person" became "brother", the so-called apology is just to prevent himself from recovering in the future.
Fang Yun didn't bother to pay attention to such villains, so that Wenhou Jinyin would never receive Fang Li's transmission in the future.
An hour later, Fang Yun was reading a book, and the soldiers outside called the door.
When Fang Yun walked out, he saw a soldier respectfully handing over a letter, saying, "A person who claimed to be the head of the management Yu sent a letter, saying that it was an explanation of a misunderstanding. ”
"Thank you. ”
Fang Yun took the letter and read it as he walked into the courtyard.
This letter was very polite on the surface, saying that since Fang Yun gave away the longevity fruit, the longevity fruit had nothing to do with Fang Yun, and the management chief Yu and the Wang family were private affairs, and others should not interfere. Finally, there is a reminder.
"The capital is windy, no better than Dayuan Mansion, Wangwen Hou has more clothes. ”
A faint coldness appeared between Fang Yun's eyebrows, and Guan Chang Yu's last sentence obviously had two meanings, the first was to ridicule him for his own inability to meddle in his own affairs, and the second was to warn him that the water in the capital was deep, and a small Wenhou could not set off the wind and waves, not to mention that it would not be Wenhou soon.
"If you don't leave today, you won't have to leave tomorrow. Fang Yun threw away the letter casually.
didn't take a few steps before I received an urgent summons from Zeng Yuan.
"Fang Yun, it's not good! Ji Mengxian, the champion of Qingguo last year, wrote an article "Asking for Fang Yun"! It is circulating wildly, and it is climbing higher and higher on the list of the Holy Academy. I'll pass it on to you right away! Don't take it lightly!"
Fang Yun took a closer look, it is indeed the word "檄", which is the same as "Xi", which is an uncommon style of writing, used for conscription, crusade or the edict of several crimes to the world.
And just yesterday, Fang Yun finished reading Luo Binwang's "Seeking Wu Cao" by Luo Binwang, one of the four masters of the early Tang Dynasty, and Chen Lin's "Seeking Cao Cao" during the Three Kingdoms period, these two essays had a great impact.
"I thought it was just the little snakes of Guan Chang Yu and Fang Li, but they were feeling bored, but I didn't expect a big python to run out. (To be continued......)
