The sapphire is housed in a delicate little brocade box, and although it is a small piece, it is rare.

The buckwheat also deliberately dressed up today, still combing the usual cloud bun, and the one inserted is strung into an acacia flower, but the pink broken pearl hairpin is very chic. The earrings are single pearls, and the color matches the hairpin.

Although she grew up in the family of a small official, A-Niang is hard-working and skilled, and the family is quite solid, and Daddy's profound knowledge brings her a confident atmosphere, and her vision is different from ordinary people.

Although her father and mother doted on her, she never relaxed her requirements for her words and deeds, and this time when she arrived in Beijing, she changed into the dress of a woman in Beijing, which was not inferior to the nobles in Beijing, but more confident and calm in her romantic attitude.

When the carriage arrived at Shangshu Mansion, Miss Fang's little girl was already waiting outside the side door, and when she saw Hua Qiao getting off the car, she hurriedly greeted her.

"Go in, I'll be waiting for you outside the door." Hu Yanjin also got out of the car.

Hua Qiao took Xiao Qi and followed him into the Fang Mansion, and after walking a few steps, he saw Fang Wanyan waving under the Hanging Flower Gate. All women with some family backgrounds in the Ming Dynasty will be required to not go out of the door and not step out of the second door, and this hanging flower gate is the boundary of their activities.

"Buckwheat, come on! I've been waiting for you for a long time! Fang Wanyan whispered, her eyebrows and eyes full of smiles.

Hua Qiao walked over quickly, and the two girls grinned, holding hands and walking through the hand-copying verandah into the West Chamber.

"I have three older brothers, the youngest of whom is a sibling brother who came out a little earlier than me. They're all out today, otherwise I'll have to introduce you to you. ”

The Fang family is just a girl, although the brothers are very good to her, the third brother still grew up with her, but there is a difference between men and women, the elder brother went to school at the age of five, and they can only be together when they come back from school in the evening. In his teens, the world of boys is already difficult to understand by a deep boudoir woman.

"I only have one younger brother, I really envy you for having an older brother. But I have a senior brother, and my senior brother is also very good to me. ”

"You can come to me often to play in the future, my mother is always in the backyard, rarely comes to the front yard, only my mother stares at me all day." Fang Wanyan sighed and said: "My good days are coming to an end, my parents are giving me Zhang Luo's family affairs, it should be the beginning of spring next year, and I will be hired." I don't even know what that man looks like......"

"If you haven't seen it, are you going to get married?"

"Aren't all daughters like this? If you look at the books we read, they are either "Women's Training" or "Women's Rings", which is not interesting at all. ”

Hua Qiao remembered that she and her senior brother, the two got along for a while, and they were happy with each other, in comparison, I don't know how lucky she was.

"How about you take a look at this sapphire first? Let's see if your brother will like it? The brocade box in Hua Qiao's hand was handed to Fang Wanyan.

Fang Wanyan pinched the gem with two fingertips, facing the sky, this sapphire is a bright sky blue, transparent, and the texture is purer than the sapphire produced in Shandong and Fujian in the Ming Dynasty.

"This is a real gem! It's so precious, I'm too embarrassed to take you......"

Fang Wanyan is a knowledgeable person, Fang Shangshu is a second-class member of the imperial court, and his mother is also a member of the Beijing family, and there are a lot of jewelry at home.

"It's been sent out, how can there be any reason to take it back? Besides, I have a piece of myself. ”

"Then thank you, you come, show you my baby, which one do you like, I'll send you."

The two girls closed the door with a smile and rummaged through the cabinets in the room to see the treasure.

Today is good, the pale blue sky is shrouded in the warm winter sun. Hu Yanjin sat in the carriage for a while, and simply came out to bask in the sun.

Listening to Yi Chengjin, he seems to be ready, and in the past two days, he is ready to have a showdown with his stepfather Wei Qian, first pulling his stepfather under his command, and then using his stepfather to restrain those ministers with handles.

As for which ministers they were, he didn't know, let alone know whether Fang Shizheng, the head of the household department who had been painted by Qionglong Mountain, had a handle in Wei Qian's hands.

"Who? Dare to stay in front of Shangshu Mansion! Lord Shangshu's car arrived, and he didn't avoid it! ”

Hu Yanjin was still distracted, a carriage came from afar, and the coachman asked.

He hurriedly stood up straight and arched his hand: "Xiaguan Hu Yanjin, meet Lord Fang." ”

The carriage stopped in front of the gate, Fang Shizheng got off the car, glanced at Hu Yanjin, felt very angry, and asked, "Hu Yanjin?" Haven't heard of it, where do you work? When will you find this official house? ”

Hu Yanjin hurriedly replied: "Xia Guan is the young James of Taisun Janes's Mansion, who has just been transferred from the Southern Capital to the Beijing Division, so it's strange that the adults don't know him." Xia Guan has nothing to do, but Xia Guan's junior sister was invited to the house by Miss Fang as a guest, and Xia Guan was responsible for picking up and dropping off, so she waited here. ”

Master Fang smiled, remembering that his youngest daughter often begged a few brothers to accompany her because she wanted to go out, he nodded and said, "It turned out to be a considerate elder brother...... In this case, Lord Huyan went to the mansion to sit and wait, and when outsiders saw it, they thought that the Fang Mansion had a big shelf and neglected the guests. ”

Hu Yanjin made another move, did not shirk, and followed Fang Shizheng into the gate.

"Lord Huyan is from the southern capital, I don't know how the southern capital is doing? It has been almost three years since the old man moved his family north. Fang Shizheng asked as he walked with his hands behind his back.

"Nandu has been relatively quiet in the past two years, and everyone is used to being gradually left out. However, Jin thinks that the mood of the southern capital is harmless, just like last month when all countries came to the court, there were more envoys than before, and the attitude was more humble, the prestige of the Ming Dynasty has been established, the influence is greater than in the past, and the Yongle Dynasty has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. ”

Fang Shizheng stood still after hearing this, turned around and said with a smile: "It's not easy for an official like you to come out of Nandu, you have a lot of ideas, and you are worthy of being a person next to Taisun." Lord Huyan, please have tea in the front hall. ”

Originally, he just wanted Hu Yanjin to come into the mansion and sit and wait for his junior sister, but he was also a fourth-grade official, and it was not good to stand at the door all the time. Now I see that he is quite knowledgeable in speaking, and I am willing to sit with him.

"On the way to Beijing, Jin met an orphan of a minister who was beheaded by the whole family twenty years ago, but unfortunately this girl has died and followed her ancestors."

"Oh? And what's going on? It's been so many years, can't the girl still think about it? ”

Fang Shizheng was a little moved, he withdrew from the front line because he wanted to protect his family. At that time, many people scolded him for betraying the master, but if he continued to fight, it was also his Zhu family's country, and only innocent people and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were affected.

"It's not that the girl can't think about it, she also wants to live a good life, and she is a very talented woman. It's a pity that the identity of the daughter of the criminal made her suffer after she got married, and she couldn't bear it, so she found a short-term meeting. ”

"Alas...... Back then, she was just a child, how innocent was a child...... In the past 21 years of the Yongle Dynasty, although there have been constant turmoil, it can be regarded as the peace of the country and the people, which is the blessing of the Ming Dynasty and the blessing of the people of the Ming Dynasty. The absence of war is the foundation for the people to live and work in peace and contentment. ”

Hu Yanjin understood that Fang Shizheng was by no means the one who could make him let go of Yongle and return to Jianwen with one or two sentences.

He is more concerned about the well-being of the community.

However, which coup d'état was able to fight without blood?
