Chapter 13 Small Fish in Shallow Water
Xiangchang Garden is still in charge of You Shaojing, which is really interesting. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
You Fang smiled without saying a word, stretched out his hand and brushed the hem of his robe as if dusting off the dust, and Uncle Fu on the side saw this and said: "Young City Lord, there are still stewards of each garden waiting outside the garden, and some guards have also been sent from the East Garden. ”
You Fang turned his head sideways and said: "Then Uncle Lao Fu will help you take care of these things, in the past, my mother was in charge of these things, and after my mother went, this Keji Garden has been empty, which suddenly made me in charge, I really can't do it." ”
With that, the two walked into the courtyard together.
More than forty servants knelt on the ground motionless, the sun had come up, it was getting hotter and hotter, and I saw that the collars of each one were soaked with sweat, Uncle Fu accompanied You Fang directly into the house, and helped You Fang bring a chair, which was placed at the front door, avoiding the direct sunlight.
You Fang took a seat, while Uncle Fu stood on the side, his face solemn and solemn, shouting "Let's start" through the door to the courtyard, and then stood beside You Fang with his hands tied, motionless.
You Fang sneered in his heart, a few days ago, he was still a waste that no one paid attention to in the eyes of everyone, and today, he has become the young city lord who everyone stammers again, from the original as a matter of course, to the loneliness and loneliness after the loss, and then to the regain, but there is no joy in You Fang's heart.
Just like Lan Yingying told him, what you rely on others will eventually be lost because of others, and it won't last long, only if you get it through your own hands, that is true and counting.
What is the difference between the so-called position of the young city lord today and five years ago?
"You Xiang, the steward of the Nukeji Garden, visited his master. "The eleven middle-aged people who came in first were about thirty years old, and the steward in the garden was second only to the owner in the garden, so he should have been the first to visit.
You Fang didn't speak, just glanced at You Xiang, lowered his head, and couldn't see his eyebrows clearly, but You Fang was sure that he hadn't seen this person in his impression, and he wouldn't be an old man in Xiyuan, and if he could serve as the steward of a garden, it was naturally impossible for him to be a new subordinate.
"Get up and speak, are you from Dongyuan?"
You Xiang stood up respectfully, and when he heard You Fang's question, he hurriedly hunched his waist and returned: "Back to the master's words, the slave used to be an errand under the third master, and the Fu steward saw that I was quite clever in handling things, so he recommended the slave to several clan elders. ”
You Fang was a little surprised, and still said with a smile on his face: "Since it was recommended by Uncle Fu, it must not be bad, you brought a few servants to the front yard to receive guests, you can't keep them waiting." ”
Seeing You Xiang shouting five kneeling servants in the courtyard, he hurriedly walked towards the outer courtyard, You Fang casually picked up the jade pendant hanging on his waist, and said casually while fiddling with it: "Sure enough, he is a clever person, and the third uncle is really willing." ”
Uncle Fu whispered on the side: "Most of the forces in the mansion are now controlled by the master and the third master, and they are not as simple as they seem, the eldest young master has the protection of the second master, but the second master is now in the Taoist mansion, after all, he is beyond the reach of the whip, even if the eldest young master takes over the position of the city lord, he must find a way to balance the forces of all parties, and sometimes, he has to endure some." ”
You Fang suddenly felt a slight warmth in his heart, in the entire City Lord's Mansion, in addition to Guan Yan, You Fang's closest person was Uncle Fu, and even the elders of the five clans had to be patted behind Uncle Fu, and only Uncle Fu could say these words so bluntly.
Suddenly remembering what the five clans said yesterday when they came to the elder, You Fang couldn't help but say, "I heard the fifth grandfather say yesterday, Uncle Fu seems to have encountered something difficult?"
"It's just a trivial matter, it's been settled, so I won't say it and pollute the ears of the eldest young master. Uncle Fu replied.
recalled in his mind the expression and tone of the old man of the five clans yesterday, and it was by no means as light as Uncle Fu said, but since Uncle Fu didn't want to say it, there was no need for him to continue to hold on.
While talking, there were several servant leaders, each of whom led the little maid in to meet him, and signed up one by one. You Fang said two words that were not serious, and let them go to their respective duties.
"The eldest young master is not satisfied with these servants?" After everyone dispersed, Uncle Fu said.
"I am not dissatisfied, the uncle picks all the old people who used to serve in Xiangchang Garden or once entered the Keji Garden with their mothers, but it feels different in the end. You Fang's gaze was far away, as if he was caught in a memory.
Uncle Fu bowed slightly, "Yes, the people around you always have to know the roots, young master, you have missed a lot of things over the years, and now it is really difficult to do it at one time." ”
"Who would have thought that I would have a chance to return to this position?" You Fang also sighed slightly, but the next moment a cold light flashed in his eyes, "However, if I had done something earlier, I am afraid I would not have survived today." ”
"The eldest young master laughed, whether in the past or now, you have always been the most powerful candidate to compete for the city lord. A deep smile appeared on Uncle Fu's old face.
You Fang was shocked by Uncle Fu's words, and subconsciously said, "How is this possible?
"Young master, do you still remember, the old slave told you that day, this Youfu is divided into three forces, the old man of the three clans and the third master of the fourth clan each occupy one share, and the remaining one is the old man of the big clan, and the old man of the second clan is biased towards the third master, and the master is mostly free from the three forces, and will not participate in the battle of the You Mansion unless necessary. However, in the position of the city lord, the elder of the great clan and the master are all to keep you. ”
"This, I know the fifth grandfather, but the eldest grandfather?" You Fang was also confused by Uncle Fu's words for a while, all along, the elder of the big clan is the person with the highest position in the house, even when You Shaoqing is there, he is also respectful to the elder of the big clan, but the elder of the big clan has always given people the feeling of having no quarrel with the world and ignoring the world.
A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in You Fang's mind, and cold sweat suddenly oozed from his forehead. Yes, it's a good one who doesn't fight with others, but the elder of the big clan really controls the biggest voice in the house, how can he be a simple person.
Glancing at You Fang's face, Uncle Fu continued: "This matter, the master originally didn't want to reveal it to you, after all, some things are blessed in ignorance, I want to have the elder of the big clan and the master to protect you, you can at least be relaxed for a few years, the master can guide you slowly, but now, the attitude of those people in the Taoist Mansion makes the master very worried, if this arouses the vigilance of the old clan, it will put you in a dangerous situation, so the master ordered the old slave to come and talk thoroughly, so that you can be prepared." ”
You Fang got up and bowed, and said: "Fang Er has been in a mess all these years, just trying to avoid trouble, and now it is inevitable for me to avoid it, and Fang Er doesn't want to fall into the name of that waste for life, and ask Uncle Fu to teach me." ”
Uncle Fu hurriedly helped You Fang up, and his eyes quickly swept around, making sure that no one was snooping nearby, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said earnestly: "Don't be the eldest young master, if the scene falls into the eyes of someone with a heart, there will be endless disasters." ”
"It's Fang Er who is reckless, but Fang Er has no other way now, please ask Uncle Fu for advice. You Fang sat back in his chair, still in front of the big open door, but when he spoke, he deliberately lowered his voice, and his expression became normal, as if he was talking about some family things.
"I don't dare to give advice, the old slave is just following the master's orders to pass on some words. In just one sentence, what the big clan always wants is a city lord who can not get in the way of him, and he doesn't care who the city lord is. ”
"......What's in the way?
"Be cautious! This matter, only the elders of the five clans in the house know about it, but they only know about the fur, just like this, if it wasn't for the grandfather of the eldest young master in the past, the master would not have survived, but the grandfather of the eldest young master also paid for it. ”
You Fang only felt that his hands and feet were cold, his grandfather was also You Shaoqing's father, all along, everyone only thought that he died of a serious illness, but now that he thinks about it, the word 'violent death' actually contains such a great horror!
"Does my father know about this?"
"Maybe you know, maybe you don't. The eldest young master has a good mother. ”
The two sentences that seemed to be unrelated fell into You Fang's ears, but You Fang seemed to have fallen into ice purgatory, only feeling that he was exposed to the sun inside and out, and was seen through.
"The eldest young master, the real understanding person in this Youfu is the old one of the big clans, the master barely knows a little bit of the details, so he has to pay attention everywhere, and at the right time, he has to figure out his thoughts and do some scenes that the big clan wants to see, but this time, the master sees the possibility from the eldest young master, so he will try some things, even if he sacrifices something for this, it will make the eldest young master a little frightened or hurt. I only hope that by then, the eldest young master will be able to remember what the old slave said today, from beginning to end, there is only one force in Youfu, and the others are just ......"
Uncle Fu suddenly walked towards the outside of the house, there were unknown flowers blooming in the flower garden in the courtyard, I saw him pick one casually, the white Yuan Force in his palm surged, and in a moment, a flower was shocked into powder, falling among the flowers, and he could no longer see a single flower.
Looking at the back of Uncle Fu's departure, You Fang inexplicably felt uncomfortable in his heart, although what Uncle Fu said today was a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, but it was indeed as he said, everything was explained thoroughly.
It's just that You Fang clearly heard a hint of farewell from Uncle Fu's tone, thinking that this time the elders of the five clans made an attempt, most of the people who will be sacrificed are Uncle Fu.
True and false, true and false, who can see clearly?
For a long time, You Fang thought that he was a big fish hiding in the deep water in this chaotic pool of You Jia's pool, but today someone clearly told him that he was just a small fish swaying in the shallow water.
