Chapter 127: Father and Friend

Besides, Fang Jie was also sitting in a simple and elegant flower hall drinking at this time, and even the one who sat on the main seat to entertain him was still the prince of the dynasty.

If Master Fang and the others saw such a scene, they were afraid that their eyes would fall out in shock. After all, they have been camping hard for a long time, and they have only just caught up with a Qing guest from the Shilang Mansion, but Fang Jie is pushing cups and changing lamps with the prince, talking and laughing.

Prince Kang saw that Fang Jie's eyebrows seemed to be hidden a little dark, so he waved his hand and signaled the two black-clothed men who were standing at the door to wait to retreat as well, and then said with a smile, "Zhao Zhi, that little fat man, borrowed a few hands from this king a few days ago, saying that he would handle some small things for you, but I don't know if it was done properly?" ”

Fang Jie got up and bowed, and responded, "Thank you Lord for your help, the kid is grateful." ”

When Prince Kang saw him like this, he stretched out his hand and pulled him to sit down again, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "How many times has this king said that this king treats you like his own son and nephew, why are you always so polite?" Speaking of which, this king has always felt ashamed in his heart, when Zhao Zhi's naughty boy had to follow this king to prospect for mines, this king should not have him, so he hid in his luggage. When this king found out, he was already halfway there, and it happened that the caravan led by your mother was passing by, so this king entrusted your mother to take him back to the capital. How did you know that there was such a disaster on the road, and your mother was stabbed in order to protect him..."

Prince Kang thought of the woman who dressed as a man and acted heartily and righteously, and couldn't help but sigh, "If your mother is born as a man, she should be a rare good man in the world!" ”

Fang Jie took a sip of wine, swallowed the thoughts and sorrows in his heart, and forced a smile to comfort Prince Kang, "Don't blame yourself, my mother died... It's a natural and man-made disaster, and it has nothing to do with you and the king of Naojun. Over the years, the prince has taken good care of me, and my mother's spirit in the sky will definitely be grateful. ”

Prince Kang waved his hand and shook his head, "Your business was all done by yourself, but this king didn't help in the slightest." But you have been running around all these years and have done a lot of errands for this king, and this king still wants to thank you, and the people of Snow Country also want to thank you. ”

Fang Jie picked up the white jade wine jug and slowly filled the two wine glasses, and said with a smile of admiration, "The prince is serious, everything the prince plans is for the benefit of the country and future generations." Since I was a child, I have read a few books of sages, and although I can do business and buy and sell, I also understand what righteousness is, and I am very happy to be able to do some modest help for the country and the people. ”

Prince Kang was extremely pleased, raised his glass and said, "Come, this glass of wine is for your mother, she gave birth to a good boy for Snow Country." After the Fang family's chores are over, you can also live a good life with a good heart. In this way, your mother's spirit in heaven can be at ease. ”

Fang Jie nodded heavily, and the old and young clinked glasses, and they all drank it all.

Prince Kang remembered the last correspondence and said, "Zhongya, the matter entrusted by your letter was mentioned by this king some time ago when His Majesty was in a happy mood. Your Majesty is benevolent, and he is very pleased that the people have such a way to get rich, and he has no intention of taking it for the country. The day before yesterday, Master Sinong Li reported this matter, and His Majesty did not respond, and I think there will definitely be no more accidents in the future. You can rest assured. ”

Fang Jie's heart fell to the ground, his face couldn't help but overflow with three points of joy, and after getting up and thanking him in the direction of the imperial city, he thanked Prince Kang with a smile.

On the same day, Pucao grew fresh vegetables in winter and sent them to Baiyunju, in fact, it was not only the villagers in Nangou Village and the merchants in Cuiluan City who coveted this financial road. Those people from opportunistic families have noses that are smarter than dogs. Such a wonderful thing, if it is an auspicious name, it is definitely a good time to step up to the sky.

Fang Jie had already foreseen that someone would be tempted when he got the vegetables that day, so he rushed to send a letter back to Prince Kang. Now that there is His Majesty's dictation of this "Shang Fang Sword", if anyone has the heart to snatch again, it is to compete with the people for profit, if the officials do not scream and bury this person, it will be regarded as a serious dereliction of duty.

Therefore, at this point, Pucao's road to wealth has been completely preserved.

Prince Kang is ranked ninth in the royal family, because he is a compatriot with the current emperor, so he is very trusted, and his subordinates are in charge of a royal secret guard, and they have to work weekdays, so that they are only over forty years old, but they are already gray temples.

On weekdays, the children of the family are afraid of their father and king in this authoritative day, not to mention sitting down to drink and talk like this, even answering a few words is decent. On the contrary, Fang Jie lost his mother when he was young, his father and son were separated, and he was comforted by Prince Kang on weekdays, and he unconsciously got close to this prince, and he could also say a few words of common words. Prince Kang also regarded him as a son and nephew, loved him very much, and had high hopes.

"Zhong Ya, do you really plan to live in Cuiluan City for a long time in the future? That small city is deserted, but it's a pity that you have only one person to learn. If you don't want to join the Secret Guard, why don't you recommend this king to you for a scientific expedition? ”

Fang Jie was grateful in his heart, but he still shook his head and refused, "Thank you Lord for thinking about me, but it has become a habit for me to act freely, if I am an official in the scientific examination, I am afraid that I will not be able to stand that constraint." ”

Prince Kang laughed, nodded, and said, "That's it, whatever you want." However, a talent like you has taken root in Cuiluan City, and this king does not want to waste it. Well, after a while, the king of Japan will move that iron mine to your name, and you will take care of it more on weekdays. Save being seen by those moths, and do everything possible to dig it up and exchange it for money, not knowing how to leave a way out for future generations..."

Fang Jie saw Prince Kang's brows furrowed, and guessed that he must have remembered the battle in the court again, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "The prince wants me to guard the mine, do you want to pay salaries?" A thousand taels or ten thousand taels a month? ”

Sure enough, Prince Kang was provoked to laugh, pointed at him and said, "You slippery boy, you are really good at business." You have to bargain with the king, and the lion opens his mouth, be careful that the king confiscates all your shops and restaurants. ”

He said so, but his subordinate still took out a bronze medal three inches long and two inches wide from his sleeve pocket, "I have prepared it for you, this is the deacon token of the secret guard, and all the four rank officials have the right to decree." You take it well, if something happens, you also have a basis. ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang," Fang Jie took the thank you and quipped, "With this brand, I don't have to use the banner of the King of Zhijun when I enter the city gate." Every time, he was the first to get the news, and robbed all the good furs and herbs I brought back. ”

Prince Kang liked to hear the two juniors laughing and funny, and sure enough, he laughed even more heartily, and then talked about the few interesting stories of their royal brothers when they were young, but because of this, they drank a few more glasses of wine, and they were in a very happy mood.

In the blink of an eye, Fang Jie got up to say goodbye, and saw that Prince Kang's face was still reluctant, and the white hair on his temples looked more and more dim in the candlelight. His heart was also faintly sour, thinking that he might not be able to see this elder for several years in the future, so he touched the booklet in his arms and said, "Lord Wang, when I came back, I got a treasure book, which can make people forget their worries and smile." I left in a hurry today and forgot to bring it with me, so I will let the king of Zhijun send it over on my behalf tomorrow. I also wish the prince to be more relieved when he encounters things on weekdays, and take care of his health. ”

"Oh, there are such strange books, the king must take them." Prince Kang really swept away his gloom, and the smile in his eyes was about to overflow. For a person like him, who was born in the royal family, he can't wait to be born with a golden spoon in his mouth, and he will be bored of seeing any rare treasures. Only such a novel and caring gift naturally won his love even more.

Fang Jie saluted again, and then followed a man in black through the door to the backyard of the adjacent small grocery store. Then I went out into the alley, and my body gradually disappeared into the night as thick as ink...

Dongzi ate a bowl of hot noodle soup at a stall at the entrance of the alley, and he was bored and gossiped with the owner of the noodle stall. As soon as he looked up and saw the master coming out, he hurriedly threw down a dozen yuan and stepped forward, and the master and servant returned to Fang's house smoothly.

The Fang family's celebration banquet had just ended, Fang Rui was so drunk that his face was red and his neck was thick, and he was rubbing oil on the maid who was supporting him, while humming a little song proudly. Occasionally raising his eyes to see Fang Jie's master and servant coming back from outside the door, he stumbled forward and grabbed Fang Jie's arm and smiled, "Second brother, you... Your days are coming to an end. Haha, Dad... Dad is going to be reinstated, you copper-smelling guy, get away from me in the future, hmph, you still want me to slap you..."

Fang Jie pushed away his brother's big hand with a look of disgust, ignoring that he almost fell to the ground, and turned back to his yard with a cold smile.

Dongzi then followed up and closed the courtyard door, leaned on the crack of the door and peeked for a long time, seeing that Fang Rui was comforted by the maid, scolded and walked away, and then trotted back to the main room.

Fang Jie lit the oil lamp, and wanted to study the ink to copy the "treasure book", but he didn't want the brazier in the house to be extinguished for a long time, and the ink was not polished much before it solidified in the inkstone.

Dongzi's face darkened when he saw this, and he scolded, "These snobbish minions are actually so snub to the son, I'll go to them." ”

Fang Jie waved his hand to stop him, "The minions in this house are the grass on the wall, and now the masters are happily promoting and making a fortune, and the minions naturally feel superior." Let's stay for another day, let them have one more night's dreams. ”

Dongzi hummed angrily, and hurriedly went to the stove to install two pots of charcoal fire and brought them back, and the house quickly warmed up.

Fang Jie took the pen and copied slowly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth never faded. Dongzi, who originally felt that his anger had not subsided, saw this, so he relaxed his hands and feet, and began to rummage through the boxes and cabinets to pick up the clothes he brought back, thinking that he must make his son-in-law more expensive and handsome tomorrow. After all, the show is about to begin, and the protagonist of Childe has to tell a pomp.

I didn't say anything all night, and I got up early the next day, I don't know if Master Fang really forgot it, or if he realized that he was already an official and didn't want to be contaminated with the copper smell of Shang Jia's son, in short, no slave came to knock on the door to invite Fang Jie, the second young master, to eat.

Fang Jie didn't care about this, but Dongzi was young and vigorous, and shouted in front of the rough maid who delivered food in the big kitchen, and brought back the simple rice porridge and steamed buns. Then I ran errands and went to the most famous teahouse in the city to buy two kinds of health porridge, four kinds of dim sum, and six plates of porridge dishes, and piled a small table to the brim.

Fang Jie was funny, he simply ate some of them, and the rest was rewarded by this heart-protecting boy, until Dongzi's stomach was round and he was burping when he walked.

(Haha, caught up with the update.) I went to the book review area just now, there are a lot of rewards, happy rolling, it seems that it will be updated and more powerful in the next few days. Thank you friends for your support, work hard to code words! )
