Chapter 125: Pretending to be stupid
Fang Jie shook his head, "Grandmother, don't worry, it's all the property that the grandson has purchased by himself, and the grandson should work harder." Our Fang family is a scholarly family, and my father and eldest brother will be officials in the future, and their identities are noble. The grandson smells of copper, so it's better not to involve his father and eldest brother to be talked about. ”
His words sounded very humble, but when he tasted them, he always felt that something was wrong. Old Lady Fang and Old Master Fang glanced at each other, both frowning slightly. Master Fang pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay to do this, there are not a few shops in the capital, it's just tacit." ”
Fang Jie seemed to be very persistent, and responded, "What my father said is true, but if this matter is found out by someone with a heart, it will be a trouble in the end." Therefore, the child came back this time and planned to resell several shops in Beijing, and concentrate on running restaurants in the north in the future. ”
"What? Reselling the shop? Without waiting for Old Lady Fang and Old Master Fang to respond, Fang was the first to ask in surprise, and his heart was very anxious. You must know that the old and young in this house, plus the maids, are transported back from several shops for clothing and food on weekdays, if the shops are resold, then they will not have to pay their own money to buy catties of fine noodles in the future.
"Brother Guan, those shops are running well, how can you say that they will be resold if they are resold?"
"That's it, Brother Guan, your father Zhishi is at home, and he doesn't know when he will be reinstated, even your eldest brother will take two years to participate in the scientific examination. Why don't you wait a little longer and talk about it in two years. Old Madam Fang was also comforted, and at the end, she glared at Old Man Fang vigorously, asking him to hurry up and help persuade him.
Old Man Fang coughed twice, took out his father's posture and said, "You live in the Northland all the year round, but you are too far away from home. If someone really uses this as an excuse to clean up our family's name, it will be time-consuming and laborious for you to rush back to deal with it. Why don't you leave the deed paper, and then I'll let your brother find someone to resell the shop. ”
When Mrs. Fang and Ma heard this, their eyes lit up with Shunjiang, this is a good way to do it once and for all, if they get the deed paper, they will have the final say in this shop in the future.
Fang Jie sneered in his heart, but there was an annoyed look on his face, and he responded, "My brother is a person who wants to be an official, and it is easy to fall into the hands of others if he comes forward to resell the shop, so I should deal with it myself." Speaking of which, the three shops are all opened in the bustling street market, and there is no surplus every month, and sometimes even a loss of silver, what is the use of keeping such a transaction? It's better to sell it without worry. ”
Master Fang remembered the 1,000 taels he forcibly retrieved from Jinxiuzhuang some time ago, and his heart was even more weak, and he replied casually, "Maybe the Chen family doesn't care, you just need to change some people, and the shop should be kept." ”
Fang Jie frowned, and sighed at the end, "Old Shopkeeper Chen is an old man who followed my mother to do business back then, I just started doing business, and it was also the capital he gave. Now that he is old, it is not easy to get them out. That's it, the shop is not for sale for the time being, so let's wait and see. ”
Hearing Fang Jie mention his deceased mother, except for the few unaware concubines in the house, the rest of the people in the house had complicated faces, and they couldn't tell whether they were guilty, weak or embarrassed. In the end, Master Fang said something else, "It's almost noon, hurry up and let the cook set the meal." Brother Guan worked hard all the way and made a few good dishes for him to make up. ”
Ma Shi was so annoyed that she almost tore the handkerchief under her hand, originally she wanted to ask this little why he reduced the New Year's gift, but she didn't expect to be caught off guard by him suddenly throwing such a move. After all, the New Year's gift is only for a short time, and the shop is the foundation for their family to continue to be wealthy.
She endured the resentment in her stomach, and answered the call and took the big girl to Zhang Luo for lunch.
Soon, the dining table was placed in the main hall, the three generations of the family sat around, and the three concubines were all rushing to stand behind Master Fang to make dishes for him, but in the end, the light rain took advantage of the location, and the two unhappy stood behind Ma and Mrs. Fang respectively.
Weiyu was a little proud and was just about to serve soup for Master Fang, but when she saw the dishes on the table, she almost shouted in surprise, Ma Shi glared at her fiercely, and she was so frightened that she immediately took two steps back and didn't dare to say anything more.
Fang Jie slowly flicked the slightly yellowed brown rice in the bowl, and his chopsticks occasionally sandwiched slices of salted radish or stir-fried dried vegetables, as if he didn't notice how shabby the dishes on the table were.
On the other hand, Old Lady Fang and Old Master Fang's faces were a little ugly, and the chopsticks under their hands were all playing in the rice, and they refused to fall into the plate.
Ma also didn't have the slightest appetite for the rough dishes on the table, and he ate the grains of rice slowly, waiting for Fang Jie to question, so he could take the opportunity to cry about how embarrassed his family was, and then naturally ask for more silver. It's a pity that Fang Jie was not fooled, but ate very much.
Ma's eyes rolled again and again, and he turned to Weiyu on the opposite side with a smile and said, "Speaking of which, today's sister Weiyu is the first time to see Brother Guan'er, and she made a big misunderstanding." As soon as the official brother came back, he went to his sister's yard, and my sister thought that he was a disciple who trespassed into the house, so she was so frightened that she ran to me to make the decision. ”
"Oh, and what's going on? This is negligence on the part of the family, and when the yard is separated, you should go to the letter and tell the official brother. Mrs. Fang smiled and handed her daughter-in-law a ladder, Ma immediately climbed up, and said helplessly, "This is that the daughter-in-law is not thoughtful, our house is too small, and my sister has no place to live when she enters the door, so she occupies the yard." If the official brother is angry, let my sister move out tomorrow and live in the wing. ”
How did Master Fang not know the plans of his daughter-in-law and his mother, he went to spend the night in the light rain these days, and occasionally remembered that the people who originally lived in that courtyard were also empty-hearted. If you can buy a new house with a more spacious courtyard, you will naturally be happy to leave this old house completely.
Thinking of this, he put down his chopsticks and said, "It's too troublesome to move around, and in the future, Brother Guan will have to get married, so it's not good to be crowded in this small house." It's better to go and find a tooth shop tomorrow and buy a mansion. ”
Fang Jie swallowed the food in his mouth and said with a grateful face, "Father is kind, my son is really frightened when he hears it." My mother's yard has been empty for many years, and my mother should be assigned to my aunt to live, so how can the child be angry? Besides, in the future, even if the child is married, he will inevitably settle in the Northland, and the family does not have to buy a new house because of the cost. In the future, my father's reinstatement and eldest brother's scientific research will all have to be counted with silver, and the family's silver deposit will still be kept. ”
Master Fang didn't expect Fang Jie to misinterpret his words like this, but even if he was thick-skinned over the city wall, he couldn't explicitly say that he wanted his son to buy a mansion for the whole family to live in. What's more, if you continue to talk about it, you have to pull out the fact that there is no silver at home, and the shop property left by his mother has been sold out. So, I had to nod with an embarrassed face.
Seeing that the plan he had laid down a long time ago had not succeeded, Ma was even more disappointed and confused. You must know that in the past, Fang Jie had to take care of the yard with his own hands every time he came back, and he was not even allowed to enter the door, which shows the importance he attached to the yard.
Now that the courtyard has not only been distributed to the concubine, but also ordered all the flowers and trees to be pulled out, he can still respond so calmly. Could he have guessed her purpose?
Fang Jie completely ignored everyone's strange faces, and continued to eat vegetables and drink soup, which made Mrs. Fang and the others feel that they have become the pair of hedgehog foxes for a while, and there is nowhere to eat.
It was quiet and a little embarrassed in the house, and someone outside the door suddenly shouted and broke in, "Mother, I heard that the little is back, what good goods did he bring, do you remember to leave some for me..."
Fang Rui took a cold breath and strode around the screen, but when he saw Fang Jie sitting at the table, he was stunned, his pair of scorched yellow eyes quickly turned, and a smile immediately appeared on his thin face, stepped forward and patted Fang Jie and smiled, "Oh, sure enough, the second brother is back, and the road is hard." ”
Master Fang glared at this unobtrusive eldest child, coughed dryly and said, "You don't study poetry at home, where are you wandering around, hurry up and eat." ”
Ma Shi also hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Da'er to sit down, and said with a smile, "Where are you drinking again, full of nonsense." Let's eat first, stay until you sober up at night, and then talk to the official brother. ”
Mrs. Fang pampered her eldest grandson the most, and called the maid to cook warm stomach soup in the kitchen, and then rubbed the back of Fang Rui's hand with a loving face, and said with disgust, "It's such a cold day, I'll go out and wear more clothes in the future." ”
Fang Rui didn't care about a perfunctory two sentences, picked up the chopsticks and was about to pick up the vegetables to pad his stomach, but when he looked at the pickles, tofu and dried vegetables on the busy table, he immediately shouted, "Who brought the next person's routine dishes, hurry up!" Tell Chef Wang to make a crystal elbow and braised shrimp and send it, I've been hungry for a long time..."As he was talking, he raised his eyes and saw his mother desperately squeezing his eyes, so he subconsciously asked again, "Mother, your eyes are uncomfortable?" ”
Ma couldn't wait to step forward and strangle this stupid son, and his mind quickly turned to cover up a few words. I didn't want Fang Jie to put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up and said, "Grandmother, father and mother, the child is really tired, so go back and rest." ”
After saying that, he gave a brief salute and turned to go out.
Ma opened her mouth and wanted to keep someone, after all, she still had a lot to say, but unfortunately her son was too angry, and as soon as he came back, he ruined her arrangement, so he had to watch Fang Jie leave.
Fang Rui didn't know that he had annoyed his mother, so he jumped up and rubbed in front of him and asked, "Mother, what good things did the second child send back this time?" Leave me some good furs, I promised to give them to a friend. ”
Ma Shi stretched out his hand and pinched his son, and said angrily, "There is no fur, not half of it." I was going to ask him to pay for a house for my family, but you offended him as soon as you came in! ”
Fang Rui was in pain, and quickly hid beside Mrs. Fang, and explained, "How do I know that he is in the house?" Besides, mother, he is the Fang family, and it is also appropriate to buy a house for the Fang family, are you hiding it like this? ”
Ma was so angry that his head was about to catch fire, and he couldn't care about pretending to be weak anymore, so he pointed at his son and scolded, "He is the Fang family, but his name is only written in those shops!" He doesn't give up the money, can you still rob it? ”
Fang Ruiji muttered disdainfully, "If he doesn't pay the silver, our family will buy it ourselves, will my mother keep the silver to give birth to cubs?" ”
