Chapter 720: Haojie
In the entire tofu workshop, the guests who were waiting in a long line to buy 'Jade Flawless' also laughed and sighed, this kid is lucky, there is a good sister behind him, and he will be much smoother in the future.
Fang Erwa's face was gloomy, and she felt indescribably awkward.
Their tofu workshop is said to be good, not only occupies two shops, beautifully decorated, but also is very famous in Nan'an City, customers come all day long, and even businessmen from afar buy their bean products and ship them to the surrounding area for sale.
The money earned in just one month is much more than what I earned in one or two years before.
But so what, look at Daddy's appearance, isn't it accompanied by a smiling face, groveling all day long?
In the hearts of those big sons, he will always be just a businessman.
My sister obviously has such a powerful power, and no one in the whole Nan'an dares not to give her face, why is my father and him still so statusless?
Fang Erwa lowered her head and looked at her hands, but her heart was rare and clear.
That's because his sister is a daughter's family, no matter how good she is and how capable she is, it will be difficult to really benefit the Fang family in the end.
If you want the Fang family to be good, in the end, it depends on the future of Fang Kaiyu.
He doesn't need to blame his sister, his sister has done enough, and he should bear the future of the family.
Who made him the man in the family?
Fang Erwa turned his head slightly and went back to the room, there was a huge bookcase in his room, which was full of books, as long as there were books on the market, his father would buy them all for him, and it was not until he went to Ship Island to study that he quit this habit.
Because there is a library on the island of the ship.
The library has a huge sea of books, and he will not be able to finish reading it for the rest of his life.
"I will definitely be able to pass the exam this year."
Fang Erwa squinted, and he still has to come out on top, and he is also confident, provided that it is ...... Those classmates, as they themselves said, did not intend to take the path of the imperial examination.
He always vaguely felt that the classmates on the island had gone astray, and where there was a Huanghuang righteous path instead of taking it, they found another way and studied the truth of those things that did not enter the stream all day long.
Fang's father is not staring at business all day now, and when his son returned home, he hurriedly asked people to tidy up a table of banquets.
"Steamed sea bass, it's your favorite dish, try it."
Father Fang smiled and gave Fang Erwa a pair of chopsticks, "This is the blue terrier rice that your sister specially asked Miss Chunyu to bring to her father, it is very delicious, you can eat more." ”
He privately wanted to tell his second baby about Chunyu.
He hadn't seen girls elsewhere, but Chunyu was such a good girl, gentle and considerate, and good-looking.
There are a lot of girls under the eldest sister, and all of them have the ability, but they have the ability to do good, and there is really only one Chunyu.
Fang's father didn't mind that Chunyu was born as a maid.
What about maids?
He remembered his wife, who was once a maid of a large family, but what a good woman, and she never disliked her vulgarity.
"Chunyu is a good girl, good-looking, good-looking, gentle and virtuous, much better than Yeguke, the second baby is on the island of the boat, and you are familiar with her, how about letting the Chunyu girl come to me as a daughter-in-law?"
Fang Erwa instantly tightened his fingers, and his heart was blocked, even though he felt that those princes and grandsons were not good matches for his sister, but just looking at their identities, those people were undoubtedly the top people in Da Zhou.
Who can be chosen for my sister's marriage, and if she is replaced by him, is she only worthy of marrying a maid?
When the maid in the room was almost the same, my father was also very confused.
Fang Erwa frowned, just let her father care about her sister first, don't worry about his marriage.
Father Fang was thinking about when to find an opportunity to talk to his daughter and let his daughter test Chunyu's tone, so he listened to his son say while eating: "Dad, I met Brother Zhao a while ago. ”
"Oh?"
Father Fang couldn't help but be surprised, "Your brother Zhao, they are gone, but for some days, since they are back, why don't they go home?" Their old house was always empty. ”
Fang Erwa pursed her lips, thinking of the accidents that happened a while ago, an innocent face flashed in front of her eyes, he didn't dare to go to the mine, and he didn't know how the two girls were now.
Thinking about it, it will be fine, Fang Erwa knows the rules of the island and will never torture the captives, Huihui and Xie Lan have not caused much harm, and the people on the island will definitely not hurt them.
Thinking of Miss Huihui, Fang Erwa felt a little guilty, the rules of the island were strict, and her sister was not there, so she wanted to plead but couldn't do it.
"Maybe it's convenient to live outside...... Dad, you said that now that Brother Zhao has returned to Nan'an, he will give him my sister, what do you think? ”
Father Fang was stunned.
"The two of them?"
"That's right, my sister and he were engaged to him before, but it didn't work out by accident."
He saw that Father Fang was silent, and couldn't help but be a little anxious, "Dad, don't be poor and love rich, Brother Zhao has nothing wrong with it, he has been a talent show early, and he can't pick out anyone who is smarter and more talented than him in Nan'an City, it is definitely not something in the pool." ”
Fang's father came back to his senses and patted his son: "What did you say, where would my father dislike others, if he really disliked it, he wouldn't have ......accepted it at the beginning."
"Okay, don't talk about this, it's always been the first marriage from the father, and then the remarriage is as you like, if the Zhao family kid enters your sister's eyes, the two of them have fate, of course my father won't stop it, but there are so many good men in the world, only your sister picks it, why worry about your little thing."
Father Fang patted the second baby's shoulder and sighed softly, "Dad only hopes for your sister, and this life will be smooth." ”
In the past two years, he has lived like in a dream, he is a big character and doesn't know a few rough guys, but he will recognize simple money and sell tofu for a living, but now he is learning to listen to operas, raise flowers and plants, dress decently, and let people respectfully shout outside the party.
All of this is obtained by his daughter, and the future of the second child, I am afraid that it will also fall on his daughter, he understands it very well in his heart.
"Daughter-like mother, mother-like, your mother is a good woman in the world, and your sister will also have a good future."
Fang Erwa sat on the side in frustration and snorted: "You wait for your sister to choose by herself, and you don't know how to wait until the Year of the Monkey." ”
His father should also be tougher, after all, his sister is a woman, she is still young, and her father doesn't care about her marriage, so what else is there to worry about.
……
July Flowing Fire
It's not that hot. The sea is windy, the humidity is heavy, and there is even some freezing at night.
Don't look at the war in Northern Xinjiang, it seems that the Northern Army is fighting alone, but in fact, it led the hearts of everyone in the court later, and now that it has returned with a great victory, the court immediately sent a sailor to visit.
"How far is it from Ning'an Port?"
"My lord, it's not far away, you can arrive in the evening."
The disciples who followed left and right next to him whispered.
Ning Anguo took the initiative to ask for His Majesty, and bought a bronze mirror for his father-in-law, the head of the Great Interior, so he got a job and went to Northern Xinjiang.
When Bai Shao entered Beijing to take the martial arts examination, he had some ties with Ning Anguo, and it was not a big deal at the beginning, that is, Bai Shao ridiculed Ning Anguo for being a poor scholar who was powerless, and Ning Anguo sarcastically ridiculed Bai Shao as just a rude martial artist.
In fact, both of them are a little biased.
Ning Anguo's grandfather is the contemporary Confucian Ning Yuan, and he has been under the knee of his grandfather's family since he was a child.
The disciples of the Great Confucian Sect are all gentlemen and six arts, and they know everything, Ning Anguo is the best among his grandfather's disciples, and he also has excellent swordsmanship, and he also walked the rivers and lakes when he was young, and he also broke into the name of a gentleman's sword.
It can be said that compared with most ordinary scholars in the world, he is a rare man who is both civil and military, and his temperament is also bold and magnificent.
Bai Shao was a child, and he also studied hard every day, if he didn't choose to take the martial arts exam back then, as long as his luck was not too bad, Wen Jinshi would not fail to pass the exam.
What's more, the imperial court selects the talents of the generals, how can the real vulgar people be able to pass the exam?
In the capital of that year, Ning Anguo and Bai Shao, Wen Tanhua, and Wu Jinshi were famous.
Speaking of which, I don't know if it's providence, these two people just like the same woman, and they are also the daughters of an official eunuch, everyone is beautiful, in order to compete for the hearts of beauties, these two are competing with each other for three days.
Today, Bai Shao won more with less on the stage of the military department, and won the praise of the generals.
Tomorrow, Ning Anguo will win the first place in a policy at the literary meeting, and even His Majesty will say hello when he sees it.
Later, as soon as these two met, it was a war of words, or it was all martial arts, making trouble every day, making the idlers of the whole capital follow the excitement, and then the lady got married, married a senior brother of his childhood sweetheart, and gave birth to a son in the second year.
Neither of these two young talents is satisfied, but the enmity is settled, and they always don't like each other, and from time to time they break bullets on the ground to impeach each other, and they desperately provoke each other when they seize the opportunity.
"There are many rumors in the court, all of them say that Bai Shao colluded with King Ming, and the evidence is ironclad, I'm afraid it's true, right?"
Ning Anguo's junior disciple hesitated.
"Who knows." Ning Anguo sneered, "I don't know if he colluded with King Ming or not, but with the hypocrisy of that old bastard, saying that he lied about the military situation and embezzled military funds, it is absolutely impossible, where in the world is there anyone with a better reputation than him?" ”
The little disciple lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
Since the war in Northern Xinjiang, the master has been clamoring to go out of Beijing, but his old man's body has never been very tough, and he is old, where do his children and grandchildren dare to let him travel far away?
As a result, the old man was in a hurry, he was so sick that he couldn't even get out of bed, or the news of the big victory in the north came, and this was good, now that the war in the north is over, he still wants to go, and as soon as the big guy discusses, he simply let him go.
Anyway, with the sailor, you can travel by boat, and you don't have to worry too much about the safety of the old man.
The sea breeze is a bit strong.
The little disciple stepped forward, "Master, it's better to go to the cabin ......" Before the words fell, an exclamation came from the front.
The hull of the ship shook violently, slowing down.
Ning Anguo frowned, stretched his neck on tiptoe and looked around: "What is that?" ”
In front of you, you can see three large ships, very tall.
A herald rushed to Ning Anguo in three steps and two steps: "My lord, please quickly return to the cabin to avoid it, there are pirates attacking the warship." ”
Ning Anguo was furious: "Who dares? Are we the Imperial Court Sailors? ”
The herald was so frightened that he took a step back and said, "Well, don't worry, my lord, nothing will happen, our commander has already sent someone to negotiate." ”
Ning Anguo couldn't hear the weakness in the herald's tone, frowned, and his chest hurt with anger.
No matter how bad the imperial court sailors are, they are also regular troops, and the regular army has to negotiate with some bandits?
"You eat the court and meet the bandits, not to mention the total annihilation, it is always possible to disperse, why be afraid of them!"
"I'm not afraid." The herald gave the little disciple a look and asked him to help his master to go to the cabin, while laughing and said, "These pirates are not ordinary pirates, and so are the leaders, ahem, they are regular court sailors, their warships are better, and the two sides are hard to match, it is not cost-effective." ”
The herald didn't explain, and as soon as he explained, Ning Anguo was so angry that he wanted to jump to his feet: "How can this be!" No, I want to see your commanders, hey, you have avoided the war every time, how can the other party not be arrogant? You have to fight, and even if you lose, you can't back down. ”
As he spoke, Ning Anguo turned his head and was about to leave.
Frightened, the herald was at a loss, and just wanted to follow, the warship suddenly accelerated forward again, Ning Anguo stopped, raised his eyes and looked forward, and saw three big ships with pirate flags in the clouds and mist in front of him, quickly dodging to the side, and even looked a little embarrassed.
"What's wrong?"
They looked around together, only to see two rolling waves in the distance, almost in the blink of an eye, a huge, snow-white pointed warship arrived in front of them, the other party first stopped slightly, and the flag-bearer on the bow made a salute gesture, and then turned around, avoiding the naval battleship, and sailed away.
From seeing the flagpole in the distance, to the waves, to the hull of the ship, and then the warship disappeared, there was only a very short moment, Ning Anguo's heart was beating fast, and there was only one thought - so fast!
The speed of the boat is very intuitive.
The herald leaned against the side of the ship, desperately looking back, with a look of envy: "It's fast again, this is a better ship on the island of the ship, let's not ask for the best, as long as the inferior can sit on it, there is no need to be afraid of the Narauszi pirates." ”
Ning Anguo was shocked: "Boat Island? ”
Hearing a sound of footsteps, a bronze-skinned man went up to the deck, and his eyes also looked back: "It's the Sea King who is going back to Nan'an by boat." ”
The big man touched his smooth scalp, "This is good, the Sea King is on our route, no matter which way the pirates and pirates are, they don't dare to make trouble anymore, the dragon has to be coiled, the tiger has to lie down, our voyage this time, we can really save worry." ”
Ning Anguo's face darkened, and he was even more unhappy, but he was a little more curious about this sea king in his heart.
Because he paid attention to Bai Shao and cared about the northern Xinjiang, he naturally knew that in this war with the Northern Barbarians, the Sea King had to come all the way to the rescue in order to win this big victory, and compared with Bai Shao, this heroine was not inferior.
"Bai Shaowei has been in the wind for a lifetime, and he hasn't let a woman's family compare with him, heh."
Ning Anguo made up his mind, this time he went to northern Xinjiang to find out the situation, and when he returned to Beijing, he must laugh at that guy.
