Heavy snow covered the ground and ice covered thousands of miles.
The streets of Shangjing City were deserted and deserted, with very few pedestrians or merchants. Only the dim street lights were still shining alone.
Fu Xiaoguan returned to Fu Mansion dressed in wind and snow, and stamped his feet in front of the door. He thought that these cotton shoes could not stop the coldness that reached his bones. He wondered if his father might be used to the horrible weather in Jinling.
He went straight to Li Chenxuan, pushed the door open and walked in. A wave of warmth came over him, and a wave of chill followed him in, sweeping up the dust in the heater.
Daguan Fu was sitting at the tea table next to the stove, drinking tea happily, but unexpectedly, the dust suddenly hit his face. He looked up and started laughing.
"Chunxiu, the young master is back and ready to serve dinner."
"Hey!"
Chunxiu walked out happily, feeling like she was back in the Fu Mansion in Linjiang.
"Son, come here quickly and warm yourself up."
Fu Xiaoguan also walked over with a cheerful face, sat down opposite to Fu Daguan, poured out the dusty tea leaves, boiled a pot again, and asked: "Dad, this Jinling is much colder than our Linjiang." Are you still used to it?"
"Your father and I traveled all over the country in those days. What kind of bad weather have we never seen? Besides, I also spent the winter here in Jinling..." Fu Daguan stretched his neck slightly, stared at Fu Xiaoguan, and changed the topic. : "I said, when will you be able to finish the affairs in the palace?"
"The day chosen by Qin Tian Jian is the twenty-sixth day of the first lunar month, and the Daozang Dharma ceremony must be held on the twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month. There are only a few days left, but...the engagement will definitely have to be delayed for a while, because according to etiquette, asking Jun needs to wear Xiao for half a year."
"Um..." Fu Daguan retracted his neck, his old eyes were solemn, and he thought for a moment, "So, I get August."
Fu Daguan knew in his heart that the Ninth Princess Yu Wenyun had not been decided, so it was impossible to go to the Dong Mansion first. This thing was not based on first come, first served. Unless Dong Shulan had already passed the door, otherwise there was an order of hierarchy, and no matter what, you had to go first. Just decide on the princess.
Now because of the Empress Dowager's ascension to heaven, he can't even treat the Dong family to a meal. If the news reaches His Majesty's ears, I'm afraid it will cause His Majesty's displeasure.
Then he thought about what he saw on the long street today, and felt a little confused. He felt that going to Beijing was really dangerous, so he stretched his neck again and said cautiously: "Son, during the Chinese New Year, my father made a rough calculation of the family's wealth. There are more than 1.2 million taels of silver."
Fu Xiaoguan's eyes widened, "So many?"
Fu Daguan nodded and whispered: "My father thinks so. We have so much money at home, and there are so many fields that are producing a steady stream of output every year, let alone you tinkering in Xishan. Those properties are enough for our whole family to live a beautiful life.”
Fu Xiaoguan's mind changed and he smiled and said, "Dad, just tell me what you think."
"What Dad means is...can you resign from that position? Wouldn't it be better for us to go back to Linjiang and be landlords comfortably?"
Fu Xiaoguan was about to speak, but Fu Daguan said: "My father once hoped that you would not live in ignorance, but that you could take on the family business. As for becoming an official, this is your mother's wish, but She just hopes that you can be a small official. But now that you are getting bigger and bigger, your father's heart is becoming less and less stable."
"Son, now that you have gained both fame and fortune, wouldn't it be better to retreat bravely?"
Fu Xiaoguan poured tea for his father and sighed in his heart. To be honest, he very much agreed with Fu Daguan's words, but now he couldn't agree.
Because he has caused a lot of trouble now, it seems that except for the Yan clan, the other five clans have no clear attitude towards him. If he retreats now, he believes that all the Fu family will be dead the next day. , not to mention that there is very likely to be a bigger enemy - the fourth prince!
Now he can only hug His Majesty's thigh tightly, use his advanced knowledge to change the current situation of Yu Dynasty, and make himself stand more firmly in the court, so stable that even the prince can't do anything to him, in order to protect him. Gain the comprehensiveness of the Fu family.
This is roughly the same as that it is easier to get on a pirate ship than to get off a pirate ship, or it may be that people cannot help themselves in the rivers and lakes.
"I will return to Linjiang."
Fu Daguan was delighted, but Fu Xiaoguan said again: "But not now."
He did not explain this reason to Senior Officer Fu, but asked about other things.
"Are the six mothers in the family okay? Will Xiaoxi leave?"
"The six mothers are all very good. Xiao Xi can't walk yet, but she can crawl... No, I said..."
"Dad, I have to tell you good news. You may have another daughter-in-law."
This sentence immediately changed Officer Fu's attention, and he immediately asked: "Whose girl is this?"
"Yan clan, the granddaughter of Yan Beixi, the prime minister of the dynasty."
"Ah...!"
Fu Daguan sat up straight in shock, his mouth wide open and he still didn't close it.
He took a deep breath and asked: "The daughter of Yan Shidao?"
"No, she is Yan Haochu's daughter."
Fu Daguan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his son really couldn't leave now.
A princess, a daughter of the Minister of Hubu, and now the granddaughter of a prime minister... He rubbed his hands. Even if he did not consider the emperor, the Shangshu of Hubu and the current prime minister would definitely not let his son go. Leave Shangjing to work as a small landowner.
Now he has to change this idea. He was the first to give up the idea of moving his family to Beijing. Linjiang Fu Mansion cannot move. Not only that, he also had to go out for a walk, such as Wu Dynasty or Fan State.
As an educated and low-key Linjiang landowner, he was not reassured by his son's powerful wife's background. On the contrary, he was even more worried.
It’s so cold at high places!
If it falls, it will be a dead end!
He did not tell Fu Xiaoguan about his psychological plans, "In that case, you have to work hard as an official here in Shangjing. Our family is not short of money, so you must not be greedy. The personnel in the court are complicated, and it is best for you to be on your own. . And the other thing is - did you really kill Prince Hui’s four hundred cavalry on that long street?”
Fu Xiaoguan was happy and shook his head, "It was mainly Su Su and Su Rou who killed them. I don't have the ability."
"Oh, Miss Susuna is exquisite and pretty."
Fu Xiaoguan raised his eyes and looked at the fat father, what do you mean?
"A few days ago, she and Chunxiu came to pick up my father. When he saw it, he was shocked and thought she was your... new daughter-in-law. So he and she talked a lot, such as your past And now, for example... In short, my father didn't say a bad word about you. The girl listened very carefully and smiled at all times, so my father said one more thing."
Fu Xiaoguan was shocked and asked quickly: "What did you say again?"
"My father said... I have six concubines, and my son should be better than his master. If you, girl, enter the Fu family, I guarantee that my son will treat you all equally!"
"..."
Looking at Fu Xiaoguan's speechless expression, Fu Daguan was happy, "Su Su said that she was an orphan since she was a child and grew up in a Taoist temple. Her father had no objection to this. Such a girl is more family-oriented, and besides, she has such a With her good martial arts skills, if you capture her, she can be by your side at any time and protect your safety, right?"
"Dad...!" Fu Xiaoguan said very carefully: "You can't mess with the rules. Su Su is still young. I don't have any dirty thoughts in my eyes. I just treat her as my sister. Such words Don't talk nonsense in the future. Besides...you have no idea how powerful Su Su is. She is a genius in the Taoist Academy! If my son really marries her, she will just beat me for fun. Have a good life? ”
After thinking about it, Mr. Fu realized that this was a lack of consideration. After all, Su Su was a member of the martial arts world and did not have so many rules for ladies. So he nodded, put the matter aside, and talked about Linjiang.
"Do you still remember Zhang Ji's family policy? It was Zhang Pei'er's father who threw himself into the river for you."
What does it mean to throw yourself into a river for me?
This dad is becoming more and more unreliable!
"Remember, what happened?"
"His son Zhang Wenhan was awarded Jinshi last year. He got an official status in November. It was in... I remember that he went to Pingling and became a county magistrate. Zhang Wenhan held a big banquet. , I entertained guests at Linjiang Tower for three days and three nights! My father thought that now that my son has become such a big official, should he entertain guests at Linjiang Tower for a month? ”
Fu Xiaoguan didn't pay attention to the second half of Fu Daguan's sentence. He paid attention to the first half.
Zhang Wenhan actually went to Pingling... Yan Xiwen's cousin Yan Linqiu went to Quyi County. These two counties are Linxian. They are both barren lands and they are also facing threats from the north. With the threat of the deserted people, I don’t know how this guy will govern in Pinglingyi?
Seeing that his son had not spoken for a long time, Fu Daguan asked again, "Do you think it is appropriate or inappropriate?"
"I think with that money, it is better to recruit more talented people. Dad, the stalls in Xishan have been opened. Yao County is a major focus this year. I can't let go in Shangjing. You have five mothers in Linjiang. It’s hard for you to escape even though you’re pregnant. Do you need to find some trustworthy people to take care of those workshops?”
Fu Daguan smiled awkwardly and said: "Actually, among the group of Xishan people you harvested last year, there are some talents. There is a squire named Lu Dongping. I don't know if you still remember it. Although this old man He was sixty, but he was very energetic, so his father promoted him to be the steward of Xishan and transferred Chuck to Yao County."
"My father thought about it this way. This Lu Dongping has a very high prestige among the Xishan people, and whether it is Xishan or Fenglin Mountain, they are mainly Xishan people. Let him take care of it and get twice the result with half the effort. And many fields in Yao County are He is from our family, and he is very familiar with Chuck. It will be easier for him to go to Yao County to do things."
"The other is Linjiang Fu Mansion. Bai Yulian sent forty people over. He said they were eliminated during training, but they were better than ordinary nursing homes, so I kept them."
Ginger is really old and spicy!
Fu Xiaoguan admired Fu Daguan's arrangement very much. The father and son were chatting happily when the door of Li Chenxuan was pushed open again.
Chunxiu walked in with Jin Qianhu from Jinling Mansion Office.
He cupped his fists and saluted: "Jin Haozhi has met Mr. Fu. Mr. Ning asked you to go to the Jinling Mansion Office."
