Chapter 137 This Is Not a Good Time to Be Knighted

In the early morning, Fang Xing moved his body comfortably in the yard.

The servants' training was also canceled today, so the yard was quiet, and even Ma Su didn't come.

"Little Bai, what are you doing?"

Fang Xing walked up to Xiao Bai's side, and saw her sitting on the veranda with her arms around her knees, and the bell beside her was also pitiful.

Xiaobai got up, lowered his eyes and said shamefully, "Master, I'm fourteen... fifteen."

"Wow!"

The bell barked, and the dog's face twisted.

Fang Xing slapped Xiaobai's butt, gritted his teeth and said, "Fourteen is fourteen. Could it be that you will grow a year overnight? You are still a little flower!"

"yes!"

Just as she was talking, Zhang Shuhui also came out, joking with a radiant face: "It can be seen that this concubine is an old man, husband, do you want to show Xiaobai's face? Then I will ask Huaniang to prepare a table tonight."

"ah!"

Xiao Bai was ashamed, turned around and ran away, Ling Dang looked back at Fang Xing and Zhang Shuhui, and followed them out.

"This damn girl will make trouble!"

Zhang Shuhui stretched a little, seeing where Fang Xing was looking, she couldn't help turning sideways, "Husband, it's still early in the morning, Ma Su must have arrived."

"Brother Dehua!"

"teacher."

When we arrived at the front yard, not only Ma Su was there, but Liu Pu was also there.

After a while, Zhu Zhanji ran over excitedly.

"Brother Dehua, why did you come back first yesterday? Didn't you participate in tomorrow's sacrifice?"

Those who participated in the prisoner offering ceremony had to bathe and burn incense, and had to learn etiquette from the officials of the Ministry of Rites. Although it is troublesome, many people want to go but cannot.

Fang Xing was looking at the students' homework during this time, and he smiled when he heard the words: "I'll be embarrassed by the officials if I go, so I might as well go home and sleep late."

Zhu Zhanji's smile faded away, and Liu Pu immediately joked: "Brother Dehua, I heard that you have made great achievements this time, so the reward must be generous."

Fang Xing said indifferently: "What's so thick! I'm not here for fame and fortune."

This is better than pretending, Ma Su said with a look of admiration: "Teacher, it is impossible for Guochao not to reward him for his merits!"

Zhu Zhanji replied: "Of course not, but it is estimated that the rewards will not be unified until the Southern Expedition Army returns."

That being said, both Fang Xing and Zhu Zhanji knew that it was probably impossible for Fang Xing to be a knight.

This guy is young, if he is awarded a title now, what position will Fang Xing get when Zhu Zhanji takes over?

The master is weak and the minister is strong, this is not a long-term solution.

Fang Xing was very calm, Zhu Zhanji felt a little guilty, only Ma Su and Liu Pu were still talking about the fishing operation later.

"Come on, let's catch fish."

Seeing that Zhu Zhanji was depressed, Fang Xing smiled and took them to the field.

The sun is high in the sky, making it a good day to catch fish.

The farmers have been using baskets to release water since last night, and when they saw Fang wake up, they all asked Fang Xing to come to the field they planted to catch fish.

Fang Xing waved his hand, finally found Mr. Zhao, and was so happy that his two sons surrounded Fang Xing.

Seeing Fang Xing taking off his shoes and socks, Boss Li rubbed his hands and said, "Master, why don't you wait on the shore until I and the two boys go down to catch him."

Fang Xing squinted at him and said, "Why? Think your young master can't catch fish?"

"Dare not dare."

Boss Zhao saw that Fang Xing took the lead, and Zhu Zhanji and the others followed, and the water that wasn't deep inside immediately became cloudy.

Holding a net bag in his hand, Fang Xing walked up the ditch. After a while, he lifted the net bag, and was immediately splashed with muddy water by those jumping fish.

"Brother Dehua, look at me!"

Zhu Zhanji in a ditch on the side also had a harvest, and was very excited with his net bag.

Poor baby, he is almost going crazy by his grandpa!

"Ouch!"

Fang Xing was pitying Zhu Zhanji as if he was out to let the wind go, but Liu Pu over there slipped and fell into the ditch.

"Ah poof!"

Liu Pu tried his best to stand up, like a drowned chicken.

"Hurry up and go ashore to bask in the sun."

"No, it's not cold."

After sweeping the field, the buckets on the shore were already full, and Mr. Li hurriedly carried them away, ready to put them in the pond for further raising.

As for the fish to be eaten today, after Fang Xing and the others left, the Li family will go into the water to search for those who slipped through the net.

After Fang Xing went ashore, he asked Boss Li's wife: "There must be more than ten catties in it, at least?"

Boss Li's daughter-in-law said with a smile: "Yes, there is only a lot, and young master, look at the rice. I heard from the old man in the village that this year's harvest in our village will be at least half complete!"

Fang Xing nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, this rice farming fish not only has fewer pests, but also the fish dung can also fertilize the field. It kills two birds with one stone. Let's continue next year."

This year, due to lack of experience, it is too late for the late rice. We can only wait for next year and invite an experienced farmer to guide us.

However, the yield per mu of this Zhuangzi has already exceeded that in the north by a lot. Didn’t you see the eyes of the farmers who moved to Jinling with them?

So at noon, the whole village had a whole fish feast. Although the fish were not big, the meat was very sweet.

After lunch, Zhu Zhanji had to leave, and he also had to prepare for tomorrow's prisoner presentation ceremony.

"Brother Dehua, are you really not going tomorrow?"

Before leaving, Zhu Zhanji asked again, he hoped that Fang would wake up, anyway, it was the first time he appeared in front of all officials.

Fang Xing shook his head and smiled, "I don't have to show up in public, I can at most watch the excitement from the sidelines."

After Zhu Zhanji left, Zhang Shuhui asked, "Husband, what does my elder brother say?"

Fang Xing grabbed Zhang Shuhui's little hand and stroked it, while looking at her slightly red face, he said, "Brother agrees with me, we both think this is not a good time to be knighted."

"Oh! Then let's teach first. Anyway, our family does not lack that little salary to live on."

Although Zhang Shuhui was relieved on the surface, she was a little disappointed in her heart.

As the person next to her, Fang Xing certainly knew what she was thinking, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, even if there is no knighthood, there will still be a loose official."

The so-called scattered officials refer to those who have rank but no real power. However, Fang Xing's salary must be real for such great achievements.

Zhang Shuhui patted Fang Xing's restless hand away, and said angrily: "The concubine is greedy for conferring power wherever she is, so don't wrong him."

Fang Xing laughed and prepared to leave, he was going to visit Fang Zheng's wife in the afternoon.

This was specially entrusted by Fang Zheng after Fang Xing received the treatment of coming back first. For this reason, I was afraid that Fang Xing would avoid suspicion, so I told him...

"Dehua, my wife is so powerful, help me to see if she got into trouble, if so, what, please help me to see, I will use my military skills when I go back."

"How can there be such a powerful woman! I think that Fang Zheng is worried..."

Zhang Shuhui was packing up the gifts while preparing to go with her.

The carriage slowly entered the city and headed towards the west city.

Turning around on the avenue, Xin Laoqi drove the carriage to Tianfei Lane, and finally stopped outside a small courtyard.

"Master, this is it."

Xin Laoqi got out of the car naturally, and then guarded the side. The man who commanded the Cochin battlefield seemed to have disappeared.

But Fang Xing knew that as long as he needed, Xin Laoqi could go to battle with a knife at any time.

"Lao Qi, there is wine in the car, you take it out and drink it yourself."

Fang Xing jumped down and said, then turned around and helped Zhang Shuhui get out of the car.
