Fortunately, the splendid workshop in the east city is not far away, but in two quarters of an hour, the carriage will arrive in front of the shop.

Chen He happened to send a regular guest out, and when he saw that a carriage had stopped, he would visit, but as soon as he saw that the owner had arrived, he immediately sent someone to inform his grandfather inside, and bowed forward and saluted, "Young master, my ancestor was worried about the difficulty on the road yesterday, so he had to send someone to pick him up, and he didn't want the young master to arrive so soon." ”

Fang Jie stretched out his hand to help him up, smiled and asked the old shopkeeper about his body, and then walked towards the shop. A clever young man ran over and led Dongzi and a few people to drive around the street, and entered the back house to unload the truck and move the goods.

The last time the old shopkeeper Chen returned from Cuiluan City, he let go of the big stone in his heart, and during this period of time, he was recuperating while sorting out the account books in the shop, but he was much stronger.

Fang Jie saw that the old shopkeeper's face was ruddy, and his complexion was very good, but he was really happy, and resolutely stopped the old shopkeeper to salute him, and helped him sit down to drink tea and talk.

When it comes to business, the old shopkeeper Chen seems to be a little reluctant, and says slowly, "Young master, this month, the three shops have bought new goods as usual, and the business is very good, if the young master wants to change hands, it is easy to find a buyer." ”

Fang Jie nodded, smiled and comforted the old man and said, "Uncle Chen, this shop is a resale, but it is only a nominal change of ownership, don't worry." Before I came, I had already purchased a three-entry house in Cuiluan City, which was complete with all the materials, if Uncle Chen didn't like the bitter cold in the north, he would move back to Cuiluan City with me to retire later. The business over there will need to expand a few more next year, and there is also a great shortage of manpower, and Chen and a few of them just solved my urgent need. ”

Old Shopkeeper Chen grew up in Cuiluan City since he was a child, and he only stayed for a few days when he went back last time, and he didn't have time to walk around, and he often chattered after he returned. At this time, when he heard that the young master had already prepared a place to live, and his children and grandchildren had errands, he naturally moved his mind to return to his roots, and said hesitantly, "Our family, we can't make trouble for the young master, right?" ”

"Uncle Chen has been trading all his life, and I still look forward to your guidance, how can it be said that it is troublesome? Even Chen and a few others are also rare business experts, and they help me much more at ease than outsiders. ”

Old Shopkeeper Chen was coaxed into a smile, nodded and replied, "In this case, the old slave will move back to his hometown to enjoy Qingfu, and let them continue to follow the young master to do their best." ”

The old man made up his mind, so he couldn't sit still, and shouted loudly to his children and grandchildren to quickly pick up the banquet for the young master, and finally said, "Young master, do you want to invite His Royal Highness the King of the County to sit down?" ”

Before Fang Jie could answer, someone outside the door was already laughing and said, "Uncle Chen, Uncle Chen, is Fang Caifan back?" I've seen the carriage, but what about the others? ”

Fang Jie's eyes flashed with joy, and he got up and opened the door himself. Sure enough, there was a fat man in the courtyard wearing a red brocade robe, waving a gold-rimmed fan in his hand, and looking around.

Xu heard a movement in this compartment, the fat man turned his head suddenly, his fat eyes narrowed into a slit and immediately widened, and he rushed over in a few steps, hugged Fang Jie and shouted, "Wealth fan, it's really you back!" I said, there is no one else who dares to block the door with my waist card? Why are you so thin, do you lose money in trading, and you can't eat? ”

Fang Jie was knocked back two steps by his round body, and finally stabilized his figure, his hands also slapped his thick back vigorously, and laughed, "Fat Zhao, I haven't seen you for a year, you can't say something good, just expect me to lose money?" But you have gained weight again, is the palace poor by you? ”

The two slapped and laughed at each other for a long time, and finally sat separately. Old Chen personally brought the teapot and wanted to pour tea for the fat man, but the fat man stopped him and smiled, "Uncle Chen is too unkind, and he won't send anyone to tell me when he comes back." If I hadn't chased after him, wouldn't all the delicious food in the shop be eaten for him first? ”

"Your gluttony is coming, Uncle Chen naturally wants to hide the delicious food. Have you forgotten who ate all the snacks when I was a kid and made me hungry? Fang Jie ruthlessly uncovered the fat man's bottom, and when he wanted to help the old shopkeeper sit down, the old shopkeeper smiled and waved his hand, "The young master and His Royal Highness the county king rarely get together, and the old slave will let the cook gather a few good dishes." After the left and right, the old slave will follow the young master, and he is not in a hurry to catch up on this day or two. ”

Fang Jie thought about it and nodded and sent the old man out, and Zhao Fatzi also got up and sent a few steps with a smile. The two closed the door and sat down again, looking at their friends who had known each other for many years and had a relationship like brothers, they were all grinning, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

Later, it was Zhao Fatzi who remembered Fang Cai's words and asked, "When I come back this time, I plan to take Uncle Chen's family to Cuiluan City?" ”

Fang Jie nodded, handed him a box of dim sum, and then took a cup of tea and said while drinking, "The business over there has been spread, and there is a shortage of manpower, and it just so happens that the old man is also thinking about the fallen leaves and returning to his roots, so this time he will take their family back by the way." ”

The fat man grabbed a piece of dim sum and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it, and said with a bitter face, "You all leave, I am the only one left in this capital, but it is extremely boring." ”

Fang Jie laughed and quipped, "When your confidants hear this, I don't know how many hearts you will break and how many tears you will shed." Don't you want to make her resentful for me? ”

The fat man waved his hand absently, "They? Hmph, like you, you generally only recognize silver, if the master doesn't have silver one day, he won't even be able to see their faces. ”

The two laughed a few words, and Chen He took a few young men to come up with wine and food one after another, and bowed at the end and closed the door respectfully.

The fat man raised the wine jug and poured a glass for Fang Jieman, and said with a smile, "Fang Caimi, you first punish a glass, run to the north to hide in Qingjing alone, lose your brother and suffer in the capital, you should be punished, you should be punished!" ”

Fang Jie didn't refuse, raised his hand and drank the wine, and said with a smile, "Every time we meet, it's this opening sentence, and next time I change it!" ”

The fat man also raised his hand to drink a glass, but sighed and responded, "I don't see each other once a year, so it's fresh to hear it." With that, he changed his pitiful look and asked, "Are you really planning to make a home in the Northlands and not come back?" You're hiding too far away? ”

Fang Jie smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I still haven't hid far enough, otherwise, how could I be called back so easily?" ”

The fat man frowned, stretched out his chopsticks and took the entire elbow back from the plate, and said vaguely while eating, "You don't have your own mother here, what can't you hide?" It's like I was pulled by my mother to cry and wipe my tears every day, and I couldn't find a place with quiet ears. ”

Fang Jie couldn't help but laugh when he saw that he was eating with his mouth full of oil, "Did the palace lose your food, how can you still eat this virtue?" ”

The fat man pouted, "What etiquette rules, it's all bullshit, it's true to fill your stomach." Besides, I'm a princess of the palace, I don't eat, drink, and have fun to be a gentleman, do I really listen to my mother's words to grab the throne... That's it, let's not talk about that. ”

The fat man seemed to have a stomach full of resentment, and he poured another glass of wine with hatred. Fang Jie silently filled the wine glass for him again, and he didn't know how to persuade him.

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and the fat man's father is ranked sixth in the royal family, and he has no ambitions in his life, but he likes beauty. married no less than a dozen wives and concubines, and gave birth to a bunch of daughters, but only two sons. One is the princess's son, who is all-round in civil and military affairs, dashing, and one of the best figures in the entire Snow Country. The other is the fat man, although his appearance is not good, but he is very beautiful, which has to be said to be in response to that sentence, and the bamboo shoots are good.

The fat brothers have also been very good since they were children, brothers, friends and brothers, it stands to reason that living like this is a rare royal model.

It's a pity that the fat lady who became the side concubine didn't know if it was because she was too favored, or because she was stimulated by something, and her eyes were staring at the throne. I can't wait for the fat man to start talking back, and he has been carrying him to learn literature and martial arts every day, and he wants to overpower his son.

On the one hand, he treats him sincerely, and is also known as the eldest brother who takes over the throne with righteousness, and on the other hand, he is the old lady who is powerful and covers her eyes and intends to change the world, and it is difficult for anyone to be caught in the middle. The fat man was forced to be helpless, and in the end he simply ate, drank and had fun, did not learn and had no skills, and became a merry county king who was known to everyone in the capital, and his wife was angry and scolded every day, but there was nothing he could do...

Fang Jie didn't want his good brother to think of those troubles, so he turned around and diverted the conversation, and asked, "Did you arrange the matter you did last time when you wrote the trust?" ”

Sure enough, when it came to the pit man, the fat man immediately became interested, his small eyes were shining, and the pork elbow in his hand was also put down, and he laughed in a low voice, "That's it, it just so happens that Uncle Sixth has a few experts in this area, but it will be arranged in three or two days." Your eldest brother has been eating and living in that little Xiucai's house for the past few days, pestering people to buy that ancient book. I'm worried that you'll be late to come back, and I'm afraid this matter will drag on for a long time. I'm sending a letter tonight asking them to do it quickly. Tomorrow's big brother will be out of luck! ”

Fang Jie frowned, poured a glass of wine and took two sips, but still said, "Slow down for a while, and wait until I go back to the old mansion." ”

The fat man was smiling proudly, but when he heard him say this, he immediately stood up in annoyance and shouted, "Can't you make cotton?" How many years have they deceived you, and you still refuse to rectify them? Are you going to wait for them to drain you before you do it? ”

Fang Jie naturally knew that the fat man saw his grievances over the years in his eyes, and he was really upset for him, so he reached out and pressed him to sit down again, and said in a low voice, "My mother pulled me when she went... I must promise not to do anything to those people. Although my mother is a woman, she values faith and righteousness most in her life, but if those people have a little conscience, I am not willing to go against my mother's wishes. ”

The fat man remembered the bold and atmospheric woman in his memory, and he was also silent. For some reason, for the first time in many years, I mustered up the courage to ask, "Money fan, to be honest, did you ever hate me?" If it weren't for protecting me, your mother wouldn't have been..."

Fang Jie shook his head, "Don't say that, fat man, no one can foresee that those robbers will rob the caravan." Besides, my mother's injuries are not fatal, she is... He was too disappointed and died in anger. If you want to hate, you also hate that person is too affectionate, and that woman is too vicious..."
