Chapter 40: Temptation
When Fang Zhan returned home, a strong smell of alcohol in the house pierced his nose.
At this time, Xun Fuzi, Li Langzhong, Sanniang, and Shang Ji were all gone.
Fang Ping reclined on the edge of the bed, already asleep.
Fang Zhan took off Fang Ping's clothes, took off his shoes and socks, adjusted his sleeping position, and covered him with a quilt.
Sitting next to him in a daze.
It's been a long time.
Fang Zhan sat under the pear tree and looked at the pear tree whose pear blossoms had withered, the leaves were tender and green, and they were growing vigorously.
He didn't weave a basket and just sat there.
All night!
Early the next morning, Fang Zhan began to make breakfast, and when everything was ready, the sky was just slightly bright, and he evoked Fang Ping. The father and son faced each other, neither of them spoke, and ate silently.
After breakfast, Fang Zhan said, "Dad, I'll go out." ”
Fang Ping didn't raise his head as if nothing had happened, and said, "Don't be too late." ”
Fang Zhan answered and walked out.
He came to Sanniang's house. Sanniang is cleaning up the house. Fang Zhan sat there and said with a smile: "Sanniang, yesterday's fish was so delicious!"
"If you want to eat, Sanniang will do it again. ”
"yes......! My dad drank too much last night, and he didn't know how to take care of his body at all, and he was always worried. ”
"So, you should care more about your father. Don't talk back to him all the time. ”
"I don't always listen to him, he tells me to go east, I never go west. Is this still disobedient?"
"If you say be obedient, be obedient!"
"Then again, Sanniang, why haven't you remarried all these years?"
"This child, why do you mention this stubble again, didn't I say it all, I can't forget my first husband, and I won't marry again in this life. ”
"Ahem, life has to go on, and what has passed should have passed. ”
"You look like an old pedant, how old, old-fashioned. ”
"Isn't that for your good?"
"Again, I'll tell you, you are not allowed to mention this stubble in the future. Otherwise, I'll be in a hurry with you!"
Sanniang picked up a small basket of needlework and thread, turned around and was about to put it in the cabinet.
"Is my mother okay?"
Sanniang was immediately stunned, standing there, motionless.
"Where is she?"
Sanniang's back is still unmoved.
"Is she still alive?"
Sanniang stood there for a long time, turned around slowly, and immediately squeezed out a smile on her face, and said: "You kid, what's wrong today? Is your mother okay, where is it, I should ask your father!
Fang Zhan also had a smile on his face, and looked at Sanniang fixedly, looking at it for a long time.
Sanniang looked away and said angrily: "You kid, how can you stare at Sanniang like this! Don't you believe it? How can Sanniang know about your mother." Confused!"
Fang Zhan was still looking at her, Sanniang turned around and opened the cabinet, put it in the small basket, and when she turned around, she found that Fang Zhan was still looking at her, and said slightly angrily: "Don't look at it anymore!
Fang Zhan smiled: "It's okay, I'll just ask casually, one day I'll go get a big fish back, hehe, I have to do it with Sanniang!"
Fang Zhan walked out.
When he walked to the door, he glanced at the golden chain wrapped around the rafters, and said, "Sanniang, your family is very rich! This gold chain is exposed outside, and you are not afraid of being stolen?" I will help you untie it and put it away!"
He picked up a small bamboo stool and stood on it.
Sanniang rushed out, her face frightened, and pulled Fang Zhan off the stool: "Don't move this!"
Fang Zhan looked at her and said, "If you don't move, don't move, look at your urgency!"
Sanniang Zhengse said: "Fang Zhan, let me tell you, everything here is yours, everything can be given to you, but you can't move this, you remember it, there is no next time!"
Fang Zhan put away his smile: "Got it!
Fang Zhan came out of Sanniang and went directly to Master Xun's house.
Xun Fuzi is the master of the private school in the village, who has been teaching for more than ten years, and Fang Zhan also studied here when he was a child.
Fang Zhan was living a good life when he came, and if he didn't go to class today, Master Xun should be at home. Sure enough, Master Xun moved the rocking chair to the outdoor sunshine and sat there, leisurely, drinking tea and reading books.
Fang Zhanjing came to the courtyard and coughed, but Master Xun didn't raise his head, and said with a smile: "Why did you think of coming to see me today?"
Fang Zhan smiled: "I'll find a few books." ”
Master Xun shook the rocking chair: "Take it yourself." ”
This is the exclusive right of Fang Zhan.
Others don't have the qualifications.
In the words of Master Xun, it is "My books are only for those who can understand them, and those who can't read them or I don't think you can understand them will be exempted!"
What kind of truth is this, to put it bluntly, he can show it to whoever he wants.
Xun Fuzi's collection of books is not more than half of that of the Lin Mansion, but each one is very important.
Perhaps the reason why he doesn't show it to others is that there are many unique books in his collection, the kind of books that no one has ever seen or heard of.
Fang Zhan came to the bookshelf in the room, looked for a long time, and turned out a copy of "The Four Ages". Walk out of the room, sit casually on the threshold, flip through and read.
Xun Fuzi has always known the speed at which Fang Zhan reads, so when he heard Fang Zhan's flipping book, he never felt that Fang Zhan was watching the flowers.
After reading a book quickly, Fang Zhan closed the book, tilted his head, and said: "There is a country of Jichuan in the West, the concubine is banned, the prince is murdered, and he lives in Yingzhou. When the prince became an adult, Siyin hugged him to return to the court, saved his mother from the ban, and changed the day, and the prince was the king. Feng Bulu, He Fang, Jia Bin, and Luan Su are the four elements of the new dynasty. It is equivalent to the national government and the auxiliary government. Master, the four elements in this book are really able to hide and endure, how do you know that the little young prince will rebel against the sky and become the lord of the country in the future?"
Master Xun's rocking chair swayed more and more slowly, and he was silent for a while, and said: "Everything can not be measured, do your best, live up to yourself and others, success or failure, it also depends on the will of God." ”
Fang Zhan said: "Then it also has to be the prince and the four hidden hearts and strengths, so that they can be in one place, if they hide from each other, I'm afraid the result will be different." ”
Master Xun stopped shaking, didn't look back, and said: "The prince is shallow, and a lot of strategizing is carried out secretly by the four elements, and the prince doesn't know!"
Fang Zhan said: "Then the prince is in the dark about everything, how can he be willing?"
Master Xun said: "I don't know if I want to, at least, the result is good." The prince became the lord of the country, and Siyuan has been planning for many years, not living up to himself and others. Otherwise, how could there be a "Quaternary Era"?"
Fang Zhan was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "If I were the crown prince, I would definitely not want to!"
Master Xun slowly stood up, turned around, and looked at Fang Zhan: "Why?"
Fang Zhan said: "A mother is her own mother, and when she is a son, she must control the overall situation to save her, instead of pinning her hopes on others." So, I look down on that prince. ”
Master Xun stared at Fang Zhan deeply and said, "The complexity of everything is different, just like if you want to enter the river to bind the dragon, you have to have a few more people, right?"
Fang Zhan said: "That's also because I know that I want to enter the river to bind the dragon! ”
Master Xun thought about it, sat down again, and said, "You are not the prince! You don't have a four-yuan guard, why do you want to do so much!"
Fang Zhan stood up, turned around and glanced at the golden slip hanging under the eaves, shook his head, and said, "Master, I'll come to see you another day!"
Xun Fuzi's rocking chair shook again. No hurry, no hurry.
Fang Zhan turned to Shang Ke's home. Before I arrived, I was far away, and I saw Shang Ke sitting outside the gate, sighing.
Fang Zhan came to him and said with a smile: "Big black mule, what's wrong?"
Shang Ke didn't bother with him, tilting his head to the side.
"What's wrong?
Shang Ke turned his head, pursed his mouth, and said, "My father was beaten inside, what do you say!"
Fang Zhan's eyes widened: "Ahem, Uncle Shang Ji is miserable again!"
Shang Ke stood up suddenly, with an excited face, and said, "You don't know, my father was beaten up this time, it's a miserable one!"
Fang Zhan said with a smile: "You son deserves it, I think you are quite happy." ”
Shang Ke blinked and said, "It's strange for you to say that my father is as strong as a cow, why can't he beat my mother." ”
Fang Zhan couldn't help it, and laughed: "You don't have to be surprised, you'll know in the future!"
Shang Ke blinked again: "What do you mean?"
Fang Zhan smiled: "Then you have to ask the bright girl Li Xuanyi!"
Shang Ke lowered his head.
Fang Zhan asked, "Can you beat her?"
Shang Ke thought for a moment and shook his head: "I can't beat it!"
Fang Zhan smiled: "Isn't this it!"
At this time, the burly man Shangji walked out, muttering as he walked: "I don't have the same knowledge as you, don't be unforgiving!"
Fang Zhan saw that Shang Ji's face was blue and purple, and his eye sockets were dark. Shang Ke covered his face and twisted his head to the side.
Shang Ji was stunned when he saw Fang Zhan, and said with a smile: "When did Fang Zhan come?"
Fang Zhan couldn't help but smile, and said with a straight face: "Just came." ”
But I heard Shang Ke let out the kind of intermittent laughter that covered his mouth, but did not cover it tightly. Shang Ji's eyes widened, and he kicked Shang Ke in the ass: "Stinky boy, your mother beat me, you are so happy!"
Shang Ke was kicked a few steps away, and suddenly he couldn't help it, laughed, and ran away.
