Seeing that the knuckles of Fang Jie's wine glass were white, the fat man felt uncomfortable, and said angrily, "If I want to say that God doesn't open his eyes, how can someone as good as my aunt marry into the Fang family?"

The old and young in the house have ruined all the property left by their aunt, and now they are eyeing you again. If they treat you well, how can they eat and drink you, and call you as a slave? Do you really think that you won't be able to live without the Fang family? You have to slap them hard this time, or you won't want to turn over for the rest of your life. ”

The more the fat man spoke, the more angry he became, his subordinates slapped the table straight, and finally simply picked up the wine jug and drank it happily, and then said, "Although my aunt values faithfulness, I am afraid that it hurts her flesh and blood even more." If she had a spirit in heaven and knew that those people had done this to you, she would have been angry and would not have stopped you from punishing them. ”

"I understand this, I just want to go back and see if their faces are uglier. When you can start, you will naturally not leave any more leeway. ”

"Okay, you've made up your mind to send someone to me. In addition, Uncle Nine, you can take the time to go too. He often talks about you, and those bullshit prime ministers in the court are tossing more and more year by year, and Uncle Nine is also struggling to deal with it, and he is much older. ”

"Okay, I'll go in these two days."

The two discussed trivial matters in a low voice, occasionally interjecting a few gossips, and when they had drunk two jugs of wine, the fat man staggered and took his leave.

Fang Jie sent him to the door, frowned and was silent for a long time, and finally called Chen He, who commanded the young men to pick up the remnants, and carefully asked about the trivial matters of the old mansion.

Chen He is young, naturally not as steady and pressured as his grandfather, and he held back a sigh of resentment in his heart, and now he sees that he is about to move away from Kyoto to the Northland, and there is no possibility of coming back, and he has no hesitation, and reports carefully, "Young Master, you have been away from the Northland in the past few years, and you still don't know many things. The eldest young master is now a well-known merry young master in Beijing, and he is generous, and he often invites those sour talents to drink and have fun in Qingyuyuan. Last time, I was still competing with people in the Xianyin Pavilion to wrap my head for the Lingyin girl, but I didn't lose any money.

The old lady always talked about the Fang family's thinness, and asked everywhere who was the young lady's good character, but everyone knew that the eldest young master was virtuous, and no one talked to him at all, but there were a few families that were easy to move, and the old lady disliked that people were businessmen, and they were not worthy of the scholarly family of the upper house.

On the contrary, the old man accepted a three-room concubine, and he brought one into the door last month, and I heard that he was only sixteen years old.

Also, a few days ago, the grain shop at the end of the street was resold, and everyone originally thought that the new owner was a foreigner, but it turned out that the boss came to the door to resign before returning to the hometown, and told my grandfather that the name of the eldest lady's maiden brother was written on the deed paper..."

The more Fang Jie listened, the darker his face became, and in the end, the coldness in his eyes almost froze. Chen He stopped with great eyes, hung his head and stood aside for a while, and then cautiously persuaded, "Young master, be careful and hurt your body, in the future, the three shops in the capital will be resold, and the young master is far away, just come back and walk around." ”

Fang Jie waved his hand and ordered, "I know in my heart, you go and arrange it, the two cars of New Year's gifts that are transported back, the valuable ones are left in the shop, only pick up the ordinary ones and load a car, and send them back to the old house with me tomorrow." ”

Chen He's eyes rolled and he answered, went out and found Dongzi who was sitting in the stove eating and drinking, and worked together to sort and tidy up, and soon finished busy.

On the second day, the weather was still sunny, Fang Jie took the carriage as usual, and slowly turned to Xicheng Willow Hutong.

Willow Hutong, as the name suggests, is named because there are several large willow trees with a thickness of one person holding together at the mouth of the alley. Almost everyone in the alley doesn't know who planted these poplar trees, as if everyone has seen them standing gracefully at the mouth of the alley since they can remember.

In spring, the wicker sprouts and flutters in the wind, making people feel comfortable and happy when they look at it. In summer, it casts a large area of shade, and it is also a good place for passers-by to sit and rest. Therefore, this alley also borrowed the name of this willow tree, which is a well-known place for many people in the capital.

Fang Jie remembered that when he was a child, he had stood under the tree countless times and looked around, looking forward to the return of his mother who was a businessman, and sighed when he looked at the willow branches swaggering in the cold wind.

Seeing that the gate of the Fang family was a few zhang away, Dongzi was clever and immediately reported this time, Fang Jie woke up and got out of the carriage neatly.

The two little guys were leaning on the door to gossip in the sheltered place, and suddenly saw that there was a car and the door was still a little puzzled, and the slightly older one of them looked carefully for a moment, and immediately jumped up in shock, and shouted to the courtyard, "Oh, it's the second young master who is back!" Open the door quickly, and report to the eldest lady. After speaking, he rushed forward and saluted with a smile and said, "Second Young Master, you are back, and little Fang An has given you a salute." ”

Fang Jie recognized that this was the housekeeper's nephew, and he was also the son of the Fang family, so he nodded and said, "Don't be polite, let's go first." ”

"Yes, yes, young master." Fang An was about to lead Fang Jie into the door, not wanting the porter's subordinates to swallow slowly, the door was only half open. Fang An shouted and scolded, and the few little guys only responded with two words, and their subordinates worked hard together, and finally pushed the heavy door open completely.

Fang Jie glanced at the few unfamiliar faces and asked casually, "Is this the newly bought manpower in the house?" ”

Fang An grew up in Fang's family since he was a child, so he naturally knew who the real pillar of this mansion was, and when he was worried about having no way to please him, when he heard Fang Jie open his mouth to inquire, he immediately said in a loud voice, "The young master is really discerning, these are all newly bought by the eldest lady a few days ago." A few clever and literate people followed the old man and the eldest young master out, leaving only a few stupid minions to guard the door. ”

An ordinary four-entry house, a family of five, there are actually six or seven people in the concierge alone, and this pomp is not comparable to that of ordinary eunuchs. Fang Jie sneered in his heart, but his face was silent and stepped into the door.

Dongzi and Chen He then drove the carriage in, Fang An glanced at it, and saw that there was only one carriage with a cabinet, as if he was very surprised, and when he was about to speak again, Chen He had already got the master's eyes and stuffed a piece of broken silver to him, "Brother Fang quickly led someone to settle the carriage and horses, this is the master's reward for everyone to drink tea." ”

Fang An secretly tossed the broken silver foot with two or three taels, and immediately smiled happily, "Young Master Xie, the little one will arrange the carriage and horses." ”

Fang Jie nodded, and then took Chen He all the way along the verandah to the east gate of the second courtyard, he was just about to raise his hand to push the door, but he didn't want the courtyard door to be pulled open from the inside.

A charming woman wearing a scarlet jacket and a red gold stroll walked out with a smile, and suddenly saw Fang Jie's master and servant standing outside the door, so she opened her mouth in shock and shouted, "Ah, who are you, why did you break into my yard?" ”

Fang Jie was stunned, his face sank instantly, and he asked angrily, "Who are you, why are you in my mother's yard?" ”

The woman Xu was a little more confident because there were two maids gathered behind her, and argued, "Bold fanatic, this is obviously my yard, how can it be your mother's?" Who the hell are you, who will go to jail for trespassing into the house? Our lord is an official of Zhishi..."

Fang Jie had the patience to listen to her verbosity, waved her away and entered the door. As a result, what he saw made his eyes black in pain, and he almost fell to the ground. The cherry trees planted by his mother's own hands were uprooted, and his mother's favorite grape trellis was nowhere to be found.

There is no longer the smell of motherhood here, and there is no place for him to miss this whole mansion...

"Who the hell, who moved this courtyard?"

The young woman saw the strange man glaring at her as if he was going to eat people, and her legs were weak with fright, and she replied as she moved back, "No, it's not me, it's the eldest lady who found someone to repair it, I just live..."

"Good, that's good!" Fang Jie laughed angrily, flicked his sleeves and walked out of the courtyard gate, directly through the atrium and into the opposite West Cross Courtyard.

Chen He trotted up and followed, cautiously seeing that there were no traces of alteration in the young master's residence, and then he was a little relieved and comforted, "Young master, don't be annoyed, just see the old lady and the old master in a while, and then ask for the courtyard back." ”

Fang Jie slapped heavily on the table and said hatefully, "Needless to say, you go to the King of Zhijun immediately, and say that you will do it tomorrow." ”

Chen He hurriedly responded, went out of the courtyard, found Dongzi, carefully instructed a few words, and walked out of Fang's house quickly...

When the third entered the courtyard, the eldest lady Ma pulled the silk in the hands of the two maids and frowned and complained, "This color is too old, and there is no better one in the warehouse?" ”

Among them, the big girl in the green dress was obviously more favored, and said with a smile, "Our lady is more delicate than flowers, I am afraid that the best silk in the world will be lined with dull color." ”

Ma Shi was really coaxed into laughing, stretched out his hand and twisted her arm, and said angrily, "You girl, your mouth is like smeared with honey, and you can't speak seriously." ”

The girl put down the silk in her hand, poured a cup of warm tea and held it in front of Ma's side, and said with a smile, "That's also what Mrs. teaches on weekdays, madam, the slave maid heard that the splendid workshop has entered another batch of fine silk, why don't you go around tomorrow Mrs. and choose a few lovely horses to come back?" ”

Ma Shi took a sip of tea and was about to respond, but he heard a report from a little maid outside the door, "Madam, the second young master has returned home with New Year's goods." ”

Ma immediately put down the teacup and stood up, and said happily, "This little is obedient this year and came back early." ”

The big maid hurriedly picked up the red engraved silk squirrel skin cloak on the back of the chair, and said with a smile while waiting for Ma to put it on, "This is really sleepy, someone sent a pillow, and Madame just said that there was no good material, and the second young master came back with a New Year's gift." If you have good fur, Madame will also wear a fox fur cape. ”

Ma's delicate eyebrows were raised, and he snorted coldly, "There are a few fox spirits here, I'm afraid that if there are really fox skins, they won't be able to share them on my head." ”

The eldest girl has been by Ma's side for three or four years, and her kung fu practice is perfect, and she responded with a smile, "No matter how favored they are, they are also concubines, where can they go past Mrs." ”
