Volume 1 The Nishibin Boy Chapter 22 The undercurrent is surging
The table full of food was still neatly arranged, and she watched Uncle Fang walk out of the room, turning her head to look at the wooden barrel in the corner of the room, stunned.
The wooden barrel is used to carry water, but Fang Zhou'er looked at it, and felt more and more that it really looked like the wooden barrel in the orphanage.
It is said that life is like a play, but the ups and downs of life are far more exciting than watching the fire from the other side.
The identity has changed dramatically overnight, and the former Xibin orphan has become the eldest lady of the Fang family, and what follows is not the surprise and huge benefits imagined by others, but the ugliness of all kinds of climbing, and the undercurrent in the deep water.
Although it occupies a vast area, there are only a handful of people who are qualified to live in the Fangfu of Nuoda.
In addition to the servants and family members of more than 100 people, Fang Hazy's wife who was rehired five years ago, Chen Youqiao, who is in charge of foreign affairs, is the only person with a foreign surname.
The Fang family is also very strict in the control of the family, aside from the collateral ties attached to the Fang family's power, all the children of the Fang family in important positions have to go through layers of selection, and only through strict assessment can they occupy a place in the Fang Mansion and share the best quality resources, while others can only do nothing all their lives and become a small screw on the body of this behemoth.
It was under such a strict law of the jungle that the Fang family had prospered for a hundred years, and Fang Hazy was one of the most outstanding leaders of the Fang family in the past dynasties.
Therefore, Fang Zhou'er's appearance made many people unconvinced, but some shrewd old people were speculating on the metaphor behind this matter, they understood that Fang Hazy had always been a person who planned and then acted, and would not force public opinion for no reason to offend public anger.
If Fang Fu is compared to a chessboard, with Fang's hazy and impermeable style, there is no room for any factors that disturb stability on his chessboard, and there will be no useless chess pieces, so this is even more abnormal.
Although Fang Zhou'er didn't know the reason, she quickly adapted to her new identity, although she was anxious in her heart, he sensibly put it in the softest corner of her heart, after all, everything takes time, and she also needs time to get familiar with it now.
Being an orphan for many years, she was born with a strong ability to adapt from the people at the bottom, so she is not angry because of the grievances and injustices she has suffered over the years, she has a strong heart.
But at this time, there was one person who was very angry.
The man was shaking his huge head angrily, and the layers of fat on his body trembled in circles with this slight movement, looking like a pig stuck in a wooden chair.
"My Zuoqiu's son is seven years old and has cultivated to five stars at the age of fifteen, and Fang will not be able to enter the Fang Mansion until he is eighteen years old, what kind of thing is this female baby? A nineteen-year-old waste material who doesn't know what cultivation is! Fang Hazy usually talks a lot, but now that he has broken the rules, I want to ask him what he is relying on!"
Those who dared to speak like this couldn't find a few in the Fang family, but this person who was so fat that he could barely see his facial features could definitely be regarded as the most qualified one, because he was one of the giants of the Fang family, King Zuoqiu.
"Your Excellency is angry. After all, Fang Hazy is the head of the Fang family, and it is not appropriate for you to move the car in person, so I think it is not too late to put this matter on hold for a while. ”
Behind the King of Zuoqiu stood a thin black-robed Taoist in the huge shadow, he was like a real ghost floating behind him, hidden and silent, if he hadn't taken the initiative to reveal his figure, no one would have discovered his existence at all.
"A sixteen-year-old girl comes from behind, so where will the king's old face go? Besides, you don't know my son's character, if this matter reaches his ears, if he returns to Changjing, it will inevitably be a troublesome matter. ”
The fat on King Zuoqiu's face squeezed into the middle, probably making a worried expression, this stubborn son did make him a headache as a father, and he never gave him a worry about being an old man since he was a child.
"Although the little master's personality is a little impulsive, I believe that there is still scrutiny in the overall situation, where can a few children who are not yet adults make trouble again? ”
King Zuoqiu thought about it, there was indeed no better way, if he found Fang Hazy to make trouble, it would be in vain, and he would lose his master's demeanor, which was really worth the loss.
"I can only hope that this girl can cultivate diligently, and this king doesn't want to marry Fang Hazy, a sinister guy, for some reason. ”
Fang Zuoqiu sighed secretly in his heart, and the fat on his body gradually regained its calmness, like a deep pool after a storm and a flood turned back into a pool of calm water.
The other side.
At this time, Fang Zhou'er was staring at the rippling calm water in the wooden barrel, and from the reflection, she could see that there was a drop-shaped beeswax pendant hanging from her white neck, which was not very high-end, but it was Yang Ji who emptied the small treasury he had saved and bought her for her eighteenth birthday.
She raised her slender fingers like jade and stroked the pendant, her face also changed from confusion to calm, and finally silently changed to a firm expression, and the willow eyebrows that had always been locked gradually relaxed, and said to herself:
"If I can get the recognition of the Fang Mansion, I will also have the ability to protect my partner...... Where the hell are you? If it's you, you'll be able to come back safely. “
The reflection of the human figure in the water becomes blurred, and circles of ripples ripple from the center of the calm water.
......
......
As the sky was approaching, Yang Ji, who slipped back to his residence lightly, changed his clothes, glanced at the white fish belly in the sky by the window, and found that Jiuling, who was sleeping heavily, did not find himself going out, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Where did you go just now, ran out in the middle of the night, why did it take so long to come back?"
Jiuling's voice suddenly came from behind him, and Yang Jiyi was so frightened that he almost jumped on the spot.
"Aren't you asleep, why did you wake up suddenly?" Yang Ji asked in a daze.
"You're stupid, master, I'm a qi refiner! It's just that my method of lighting stars is more special, which is to sleep!"
The corners of Jiuling's mouth were raised, and he said triumphantly.
"What's there to brag about, did you know that from the time I first went out?"
The corners of Yang Ji's eyes twitched, and he asked with a wail in his heart.
"Of course, but I'm not interested in being a perverted stalker, what did you just do?"
Yang Ji saw that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he could only bite the bullet and tell him a rough idea of what had just happened, but he still hid the last part of the content for the sake of extraneous branches.
After listening to this, Jiu Ling groaned cheaply, and asked in a serious tone:
"Tell me, why do you want to hide your identity as a qi refiner?"
Yang Ji screamed in his heart, his identity was already difficult to hide, and he was thinking about how to tell another story, Jiu Ling suddenly slapped him on the shoulder, and said with a smile:
"I know, you must be like me in order to keep a low profile! After all, an excellent person like us is like the light of the bright moon in ordinary people, and it will inevitably attract moths to fight the fire, so it is better to be treated as an ordinary person in order to save worry and effort!"
This explanation is really a bit narcissistic, but Yang Ji, who is like grasping a life-saving straw, nodded with a wry smile and agreed:
"That's it, that's it!"
