The day's inspections are over.

Return to White Castle.

Sit down on the sofa in the hall and rest for a while.

Sisters Ono Tamako and Noriko Ono all walked in, one walked behind him to rub Xu Yuan's shoulders, and the other handed the brewed tea to Xu Yuan's mouth, fed him tea to quench his thirst, and then fed him a few pieces of snacks and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

And this pair of Japanese sisters, their abdomen is slightly bulging at the moment, and they are already more than three months pregnant.

"You don't need to wait, just go back and rest and take care of yourself." Although this kind of meticulous service is very good, Xu Yuan is still not used to it.

"Master, you carry the burden of the world on your shoulders, so hard, what is this little thing I do?"

"Master, we have nothing to do every day, only when we serve you, we feel at ease and fulfilled, you are our God, we can't do without you."

The two sisters both spoke in a very fluent and affectionate Tang language, as if they would not be able to live without Xu Yuan.

"Okay, okay, you can serve if you want, and just pay attention to your body."

Xu Yuan said helplessly, this pair of Japanese sisters, I am afraid that they will not listen to it ten times or a hundred times, this is their concept of survival, as long as they serve their 'heaven' well, they can have a good life.

If Xu Yuan snubbed them a little, or even reduced the number of nights spent with them during pregnancy, he would also feel panicked, and then serve them harder, Xu Yuan explained several times that it was useless.

It is estimated that only when the child in their womb is born and there is an heir as a guarantee, they will be much more down-to-earth and will not be so sensitive.

Dinner is almost here.

A healthy woman came over and said that the dinner of the eldest lady was almost ready, and invited the owner to go and eat.

"Got it, I'll go right away."

Xu Yuan got up, told the Ono sisters to go back to rest, and then went to the family restaurant on the twentieth floor of the White Castle.

I saw Fang Qingyan, who was sitting at the dining table waiting for him, holding a baby in his hand - this baby is Fang Qingyan's second child born on February 17, and it is also a boy, named Xu Jiayao, but the third is the third, and the second is Xia He's daughter Xu Qingmei, who was born in December last year, for which Xia He was very unhappy, but Xu Yuan likes his daughter and often teases and accompanies him, Xia He's mentality has adjusted.

His one-and-a-half-year-old son, Xu Jiaguang, was sitting in a toddler seat, eating the egg custard that his grandmother Zheng had fed him.

"Here comes the virtuous son-in-law! Come on, this is a jar of the best apricot blossom brew that has been buried for 30 years, and our two sons-in-law have two cups of good drink. ”

This familiar voice with a hint of magic made Xu Yuan feel a tingling on his scalp, and even a little disgusted and repulsed.

Fang Chengxiu!

Fang Qingyan's father, Xu Yuan's cheap father-in-law, may be much more bizarre than Song Rongsheng's father-in-law in modern society.

Recently, Fang Chengxiu has lived in Baibao for more than two months in the name of accompanying his daughter and asking the Zheng family to help take care of Fang Qingyan's confinement of the fetus.

If Fang Chengxiu's purpose is just to accompany his daughter and see his grandson, then forget it, it is no problem to live here in White Castle for as long as he wants.

But the problem is that in the recent period, Fang Chengxiu has seized every opportunity, through side knocks, hints and other methods, he wants to brainwash Xu Yuan, and wants to inject the decadent and backward feudal emperor ideas into Xu Yuan's brain, and he has also invented various theories, which are the Tao.

Xu Yuan had long been annoyed by him.

So sitting at this table, for this veritable family dinner, even if the table is full of his favorite brown crab, Buddha jumping over the wall, grilled steak, steamed pork ribs and other delicacies, Xu Yuan's appetite is not particularly good.

But this is his father-in-law after all, and the politeness on his face must still be maintained, and no matter how unhappy he is, he can't show it.

"Come, how about a taste of this wine?"

Fang Chengxiu poured Xu Yuan a cup of apricot blossom brew and invited him to taste it.

"It's okay."

Half a cup of apricot blossom stuffing, Xu Yuan nodded, he usually has no habit of drinking, but he also feels that this kind of apricot blossom brew with low degree, sweet taste, and rich aroma is not easy to get on is very suitable for him.

"Then drink two more glasses, drink a little more." Fang Chengxiu poured wine again and again.

When you're almost drunk.

Fang Chengxiu approached Xu Yuan and said: "Virtuous son-in-law, I want to introduce you to a strange person, this person's surname is Qiu, he was originally an unborn Taoist priest, but he watched the sky at night and found that the Ziwei Emperor Star was twinkling and his position was moving south, so he had a premonition that the troubled times were coming, so he planned to be born, not for his own fame and fortune, but to save the people of the world, just to find the true dragon, help him, and then return to seclusion after the world is stable." ”

"This strange man passed through Fangqiao Town, then stopped, vaguely heard our house, and the sound of the phoenix chirping, and came to visit, the old man thought that this was a charlatan, to send a few cents of money, who knew that the next three strange things happened, so that the old man was shocked, had to treat him as a guest."

"Strange thing one, this person only observed the old man's face, and learned that the old man has a daughter, although he was from a humble background, but he has the character of a phoenix, and he has married the wife of a nobleman, and the future will be unspeakably expensive, unspeakably expensive."

"Strange thing two, this person has never seen the old man's grandson, but with his fingers dipped in ink to paint, in a moment he painted a portrait of his grandson Jiaguang, there are nine points of resemblance, more vivid, there are twelve points of expressiveness, and after the painting, the strange man suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted 'Emperor Wen, Emperor Wen', and then foamed at the mouth and fell asleep."

"Strange thing three, and a few days later, this person looked at the east, and suddenly said that the nine-clawed true dragon came out of the sea, the dragon is vigorous, its momentum is unstoppable, compared with this true dragon, the rest is just a snake ear to be killed, once the real dragon is launched, three years can determine the ears of the world, it is the strongest true dragon unprecedented, the old man looks at the direction that this strange man knows, that is, where the harbor city is, and combined with the prophecy that this strange man said, all correspond to the ear one by one."

"Virtuous son-in-law, such a strange person, such a miraculous thing, that is, the old man and other people who don't believe in ghosts and gods, they have to believe three or five points, virtuous son-in-law, this person is still in the old man's mansion, do you want to introduce one or two for the virtuous son-in-law, maybe it is a god Liu Bowen and the black-clothed prime minister Yao Guangxiao, who can bring great help to Xujiazhuang."

Fang Chengxiu said these words as if he were telling a legendary story.

Fang Qingyan, her mother Zheng, and the healthy women and maids around her were all very attentive to what they were listening to, and they had a strong curiosity about that strange person.

"The Sword Comes"

Then their eyes were cast on Xu Yuan's face, wondering how Xu Yuan would decide, would he summon that strange man?

Including Fang Chengxiu, he also looked nervous and expectant, looking at Xu Yuan's reaction, hoping to get the feedback he wanted.

But Xu Yuan peeled off a crab leg and ate the meat in it slowly, without saying anything.

Fang Chengxiu had to ask again: "Virtuous son-in-law, that strange man is indeed magical, more knowledgeable and talented, why don't you meet him?" ”

"Nope!"

Xu Yuan waved his hand and said: "Let him go back wherever he comes from, I don't like liars who pretend to be ghosts, if he dares to come to see me, his life will definitely be lost." ”

He sneered in his heart, he was another bull ghost and snake god.

Although in ancient society, this kind of cow, ghost, snake and god did have a large market, but in his case, there was no market at all, and it was an object that had to be cleaned up.

"Virtuous son-in-law, this ......"

Fang Chengxiu felt incomprehensible.

Fang Qingyan, who was holding the child in her hand, and the healthy women and maids around her, couldn't help but show a hint of loss, and they didn't quite understand why Xu Yuan was so hostile to strange people, and even wanted to take their lives.

"Okay, I've eaten, you can continue to eat."

Xu Yuan didn't want to continue chatting, wiped his mouth and hands with a napkin, and left the family restaurant, leaving everyone looking at each other.

……

At night.

Fang Qingyan's room.

Xu Yuan, who had already closed his eyes and was about to sleep, heard the woman say in his ear: "Husband, my father said so much, in fact, it was for the good of the Xu family, and he had no other intentions, why are you so unappreciative?" ”

"Hehe, are you going to brainwash me too?" Xu Yuan opened his eyes and looked at her.

"No, I just want to think about our children, husband, you still trust those outsiders too much, the heads of more than a hundred collective estates are all held by outsiders, the generals of the Xu family army are also outsiders, the five most important rotating consuls, none of them are surnamed Xu, now there is no problem, once the husband you are a hundred years later, who will have the final say in the huge family business of Xu Jiazhuang?"

Fang Qingyan said what she had been holding back for a long time: "Husband, outsiders are outsiders after all, they also have selfish intentions, and they also consider the interests of their own family and descendants, I don't ask you to rebel and be an emperor, but many key positions, you have to arrange some trustworthy people to sit on them, right?" ”

"What is trustworthy?" Xu Yuan sat up and looked at her and asked.

"Our children, my father, the adopted sons, and your students, can be trusted, and my three elder brothers can also be trusted by arranging some positions for them." Fang Qingyan said truthfully.

"Didn't your three brothers bully and abuse you since they were children, you don't hate them, but want me to reuse them?" Xu Yuan was puzzled.

"No matter how much I hate them at this time and that time, the blood on my body is the same, and they have apologized to me, I have forgiven them."

"But the three of them are all straw bales who don't do their jobs."

"Then arrange them with lower positions, such as being a factory director, a field manager, etc., first train and train at the grassroots level for a period of time, and then entrust them with important tasks."

"Do you call the factory director and the field manager a lower position?"

Xu Yuan almost squirted out, many low-level employees, who are estimated to be unable to climb in their lifetime, are actually low-level positions used for starting out in the eyes of women.

"Anyway, let them give it a try, even if the ability is poor, but after all, they are trustworthy." Fang Qingyan is still like this.

"All these words of yours were taught to you by your father, right?" Xu Yuan asked with a serious face.

"No matter who taught it, you just say it's okay anyway." Fang Qingyan's gaze dodged, and her head turned to the side.

Hehe, Xu Yuan shook his head and sneered, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

……

Early the next morning.

Fang Chengxiu got up, washed up, followed the radio music outside, did a set of radio gymnastics, and moved his muscles and bones.

I walked to the floor-to-ceiling glass window and looked at the sea in the distance, and I only felt that my heart was wide and my mind was refreshed.

Then he formed a habit again, went to the restaurant, and planned to drink a glass of milk with lactose removed, and then a cup of hot soy milk that also contains protein, as well as egg buns and fritters for breakfast - drinking milk and soy milk is useful, he has developed this habit for more than two years, not only has he not become old, but he has a feeling of being ten years younger, his hair has turned from white to black, and he has even made a big move, so that the two concubines have added two people to the Fang family.

So it's right to follow Xujiazhuang.

It's just that his virtuous son-in-law, his head is too unclear, he actually trusts outsiders for everything, and all the authority is handed over to outsiders, and now it seems that there is no problem, but decades later, everything in Xujiazhuang may be a wedding dress for others.

And this kind of historical lessons abound, such as the division of the three families, Tian Chen Daiqi, Chen Qiao's change, etc., there are so many living examples, proving that no matter how capable outsiders are, they can't be trusted, and the key position must be their own people.

For example, among the five rotating consuls, he Fang Chengxiu could not be one of them, and he was ignored many times in front of his virtuous son-in-law, so he could only be disappointed and heartbroken.

Virtuous son-in-law, I really can't do this anymore, it's going to be over.

He lamented many times in his heart.

"Master Fang, please come here." In the cafeteria of the restaurant, Ye Yunfei, the attendant officer, waved his hand and said hello, and walked over with a porcelain bowl.

"It's Xiao Ye, what's the matter with the old man?"

"Master Fang, look at these eggs, the owner of the village specially ordered me to prepare them for you, you can taste them." Ye Yunfei put the porcelain bowl in front of Fang Chengxiu and said to him.

"Isn't this the egg laid by the guinea fowl?"

Fang Chengxiu remembered the chicken farm he ran, and now the number of guinea fowl raised has increased to more than 30,000, which can lay more than 20,000 eggs a day, bringing a profit of nearly 100 taels of silver per day, which is already the largest source of income for the Fang family, resulting in the Fang family's main business from the original farming to chicken farming, and most of the grain grown in the field is also used as chicken feed.

"Why is this egg so hot, and I don't know how to let it cool?" Fang Chengxiu stretched out his hand and took one, and immediately put it back when it was hot, and said with a frown.

"This is what the owner of the village means, after eating this hot egg, I will arrange for Zhang Hu to drive the old man back, Master Fang, eat it quickly." Ye Yunfei urged.

"Eat piping hot eggs...... Xu Yuan is telling me to fuck off?! ”

Fang Chengxiu's eyes widened, his face was incredulous, he didn't expect that he, as a father-in-law, would be treated like this, this, this......
