Chapter 173 [The regret of Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji]
"The birth of the Gu family tiger cub may be the last chance for reconciliation..."
"When everyone in the Tiance Mansion made the plan, I knew we would offend Gu Tianya. But although I thought about it, I thought Gu Tianya wouldn't be too disgusted. Facts have proved that Weihu was wrong."
"I really didn't expect that he would take the people so seriously. In order to fight for important events, we need to eliminate all worries, so we have to rush the women and children to Hebei."
"When this plan was drawn up, my husband also raised his hands to express his approval. The twenty-seven people who discussed it together at that time were probably firmly remembered in Gu Tianya's heart."
"Madam, why have you been silent?"
"Well, I know you have resentment in your heart, but it's too late for me to regret it now. Madam, do you think our Fang family still has a chance? Taking advantage of the birth of the Gu family's tiger cub, should our Fang family
Make some gestures. If you don’t make a gesture this time, I’m afraid you won’t have the chance to do so again in the future.”
"Madam, Madam, you, alas..."
From beginning to end, Fang Xuanling was always talking to herself.
…
A Xuanwumen Incident gave rise to more than twenty families. Since ancient times, the merits of following the dragon can be regarded as the greatest benefits in the world. It is not a problem for the core characters to become marquises and ministers, and even the marginal characters can make a lot of money.
For example, almost every family in Tiance Mansion has obtained a mansion in Chang'an City.
Knighted.
official position.
field.
servant.
Large sums of rewards were given, and wealth suddenly increased.
This is a happy event that should be celebrated with great joy, but many people in Chang'an City are not happy.
In other words, they couldn't be happy from the moment the Xuanwumen Incident ended.
They offended someone they shouldn't have offended.
…
As the chief counselor of Tiance Mansion, Fang Xuanling has been named the Duke of the country after achieving great achievements. Although Li Shimin has not yet ascended the throne as emperor, he has begun to wield power in the court. As an important counselor, Fang Xuanling is now
Has begun to perform the duties of Zhongshu Ling.
Among the three provinces and six departments of the Tang Dynasty, Zhongshu Province ranked first, so everyone knew that Fang Xuanling would be the first civil servant in the future.
He already had the right, and he already had a wife and a wife, but Lao Fang had been worried recently and finally couldn't help but call his wife into the study.
Female relatives are generally not allowed to enter the study, and even the head wives of the family must abide by the rules.
In this era, men took care of the outside world, while the wife was the head of the household. The study was the place where government affairs were prepared, so wives and concubines were rarely allowed to set foot there.
Once the female family members are allowed to enter, it basically means that they have something to discuss.
And it has to be something major that concerns the interests of the entire family.
Unfortunately, after Lao Fang called his wife into the study, he kept talking to himself from beginning to end. Mrs. Fang just sat there quietly, keeping silent no matter what Lao Fang said.
"Madam, are you really unwilling to forgive your husband?"
Fang Xuanling was very helpless, and her tone became obviously bitter.
Finally, Mrs. Fang slowly spoke up.
"My husband is the head of the family, and you can make the decision on major matters. But I have something to keep in mind. I hope your husband will not say the words about asking me to go to Hebei."
Fang Xuanling immediately became even more bitter and said with a red face: "Madam, why are you doing this? Do you have to talk like this between husband and wife? You clearly know the purpose of being a husband, and I just want you to go to Hebei.
.”
"Don't even think about it!"
Mrs. Fang suddenly became furious and said angrily: "Six months ago, Jun'er was expelled from the school. At that time, the wife of the Cheng family was going to Hebei. I wanted to go with her, but you stopped her."
Mrs. Fang obviously became more and more angry as she spoke. She suddenly stretched out her hand and overturned a table, and said with a miserable face: "Cheng Chumo was taken to Hebei by his mother. The little guy is waiting for Princess Pingyang every day. The princess is kind-hearted and looks at her.
I couldn't bear it, so it didn't take long for Cheng Chumo to return to the school."
Fang Xuanling looked melancholy and murmured: "Yes, Cheng Chumo has returned to the school."
"Not only has he returned to the sect, but he is also the first disciple of Gu Tianya's sect, a well-known senior brother. A hundred years from now, he will be the one who can show his respect to Gu Tianya. No matter how many disciples Gu Tianya accepts in the future, it does not matter how many disciples Gu Tianya will have in the future.
No matter how great your achievements are, everyone has to respect Cheng Chumo because Cheng Chumo is the founding disciple."
"Madam, can you please put out the fire? There are no outsiders in the study. My husband, you can complain as much as you want today."
"I don't complain about you, but I can't get rid of the anger in my heart. When Cheng Chumo and our Jun'er apprenticed together, they were expelled from the school together. Why did Cheng Yaojin become a father? He directly asked his wife to take the child to Hebei
.But where is our Jun'er? You, the father, actually stopped me."
"Madam, alas, madam..."
"Husband, do you know that Jun'er is hiding at home every day and sighing. Husband, you are busy with big things and rarely take care of your children. Do you know that our Jun'er is going to be useless? He used to like to tease mischievous children.
Now he is like a decrepit old man who doesn’t know how to laugh and doesn’t like to laugh. He is heartbroken. Do you understand that he is heartbroken..."
"Madam, don't say anything. I'm just asking you for my husband, okay? You must go to Hebei this time."
"It's okay to go, it's not impossible, but I want to take Jun'er with me and leave him in Hebei and never come back. Even if Gu Tianya refuses to take him back, I will let him stay in Hebei, even if he is a slave in the Gu family
, that is also his life."
"It's all up to you!"
"Also, I want to use your reward. I don't have any spare money at home, but I want to buy a batch of grain. I need to fill at least twenty carts, and I will take it with me to Hebei."
"Hiss! Twenty carts must cost at least several thousand stones of grain. Madam, how can our family afford so much grain?"
"That's why I want to use your reward, because I think it is the best gift. When the tiger cub is full moon, there must be many people giving gold and silver, but if I send food, I guarantee that Gu Tianya will look high on it.
One glance.”
"Okay, it's up to you!"
Lao Fang only felt the pain at the root of his teeth, and he made up his mind only after he endured the reluctance.
Mrs. Fang was finally satisfied, and her anger gradually subsided.
The atmosphere in the study relaxed slightly, and the couple began to discuss the details of the gift.
Suddenly, Mrs. Fang was curious and asked in a low voice: "Husband, do you think there is any other family in Chang'an City who is also making this preparation?"
"Who else is there?"
Lao Fang began to ponder.
He slowly put his hands behind his back and walked slowly to the door, looking outside in the distance, obviously speculating on this matter cautiously.
After a long time, I heard Lao Fang say with a solemn face: "The Cheng family has already announced that this time the whole family will go out together. At the morning of the court today, Cheng Yaojin directly wrote a memorial asking for sleep.
His Highness asked him how long he would take a rest, and the guy said at least three months."
Mrs. Fang was a little shocked and said subconsciously: "The baby tiger's full moon gift has been less than a month, right?"
Then an idea flashed in his mind, and he blurted out: "I understand. The Cheng family wants to be a family member. Not only does it want to participate in the tiger baby's full moon ceremony, but it will also stay in Hebei for a while. Folks.
There is a saying that the first three months after a child is born are the time when a child has just escaped from the gate of hell. If relatives and friends can accompany the child more, they can drive away the bad energy brought by the gate of hell."
Fang Xuanling glanced at his wife and said slowly: "Although this statement is not credible, it is a folk custom after all. By doing this, the Cheng family regards itself as the leader of the Gu family."
Mrs. Fang nodded and said with some envy: "Cheng Yaojin is a very vigorous and resolute person in his work."
Fang Xuanling sighed and said: "It's a pity that my husband has just entered Zhongshu Province, so I can't ask His Highness to take a three-month rest."
Mrs. Fang also sighed and said: "Even if you ask for three months' rest, our Fang family is not qualified to be the best in the world. Although Gu Tianya is from a commoner, I heard our Jun'er tell me
However, his master’s eyes are noble and pure, and ordinary people can’t get into his eyes.”
Fang Xuanling was a little embarrassed and hummed, pretending not to hear.
He stood at the door with his hands folded and said: "Except for the Cheng family who will make a big fuss, others will not do this. At most, they will send some servants and bring some gifts to Hebei. So, our family sending twenty carts of food is considered a big deal.
Second to none.”
But Mrs. Fang slowly shook her head and said solemnly: "I feel that other families may not despise this opportunity."
As he spoke, he glanced at Fang Xuanling and said with deep meaning: "For example, Changsun Wuji, he will definitely take the opportunity to repair it..."
Fang Xuanling was startled at first, then shook his head solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "Madam is wrong this time. Changsun Wuji will never send anyone to Hebei. Anyone may go, but he cannot go."
Mrs. Fang was stunned immediately and said with a face full of astonishment: "Why is this? Changsun Wuji is such a shrewd person."
Lao Fang looked outside from a distance and said with a profound look on his face: "Because he is the only one who is not suitable to go."
…
"Anyone can go, but I can't go. If I go, Gu Tianya will beat me out with a stick."
At this time, outside Chang'an City, Changsun Wuji sighed.
He was obviously in a bad mood. He was walking slowly by the field with his hands behind his back. He seemed to be inspecting the newly acquired fields. In fact, from the depression on his brows, you could tell that he was just out to relax.
The steward of Changsun's family followed behind carefully.
However, Changsun Wuji suddenly stopped at the edge of the field and looked at the sweating farmers in the field with his hands behind his hands. He sighed again, turned to look at the steward who was following him, and asked: "The farmers on Zhuangzi, how do you think about it every day?"
How long will it take to work?”
The steward was startled, obviously a little confused, and said subconsciously: "Didn't I just ask you a few days ago? You even went to work with the farmers for a whole day."
He paused for a while before remembering to answer the question, and quickly said: "During the busy farming season, there is no exact time for farmers to work. They work as soon as they get up, and only rest when they are too tired. They wake up at the fifth watch and sleep in the middle of the night.
