Chapter 2413: Country and Family, Public and Private
"What should I do if I know that one person will cause big trouble in the future, and that it will harm the Ming Dynasty and endanger the country?"
After Fang Xing left the palace, he went to the Han Palace to express his gratitude.
After the King of Han received the news that he was going to inspect the descendants of the honorable relatives, he took the potatoes to the Han Dynasty palace as if it was a joke, and practiced horsemanship and musketry all day long in preparation for this day.
Zhu Gaoxu's face was a little swollen. He rubbed his face and said, "I drank too much during the Chinese New Year, and my whole body felt dizzy. But last time you said that drinking wine can relieve hangover, here comes someone."
Fang Xing's expression changed. Before he could refuse, Zhu Gaoxu shouted: "Prepare the wine and food."
Fang Xing's throat surged and he said, "Drinking so early in the morning is not good for your health."
Zhu Gaoxu yawned and said, "What's the point? There's nothing to do. What are you going to do if you don't drink?"
The food and drinks arrived quickly. Zhu Gaoxu was so drunk that his glass was dry, but Fang Xing felt as if he was drinking poison.
Not to mention it was morning, Fang Xing was not willing to drink during the whole day.
He saw Zhu Gaoxu holding a pig's trotter and gnawing happily. After he finished gnawing, he said: "There are many ways to review, but shooting willows is nothing new. What do you want to do, Your Majesty?"
After Zhu Gaoxu gave up fighting against his eldest brother, he became the favorite of the royal family. He was always the first to be rewarded. He entered the palace unscrupulously, and even scolded the emperor's censor and did not dare to interfere, because he would be scolded by the emperor for "meddling in other people's business."
Such a prince deserves to be nourished, right?
But Zhu Gaoxu is still restless in his heart. Being unruly is his motto and he is born unable to sit still.
He threw the bones in his hand, then took a big sip of wine, burped, and said with satisfaction: "I don't know what it means when I say that we want each family to show off their wealth, but it probably means more than just letting each family show off their wealth." The boys at home should take action, your family is really in a bad place, just those few servants."
He didn't say it clearly, but Fang Xing knew it.
Drinking during the day was what Fang Xing hated the most, but he took the initiative to raise a glass to invite him to drink.
So after returning home, Fang Xing felt a little drunk.
Seeing his appearance, the women at home inevitably murmured a few words, and then the three women worked together to help Fang Xing go to bed comfortably.
I slept until dark. When I woke up, my head was numb and I gradually woke up.
"In life, I only want to sleep forever, and when I wake up, there will be strife!"
Fang Xing read a sour poem, and there was a knock on the door outside.
"Dad, it's time to eat!"
Well, Fang Xing, who was groggy and had just gained some insights into life, was broken by his daughter, who got up to wash up and eat.
The head of the family appeared and dinner began.
The adults felt that the Chinese New Year food was too greasy and they could skip dinner, but the children felt hungry.
Naturally, they wouldn't complain about Tudou Ping'an, but Huanhuan felt that her father slept in broad daylight, which was inconsistent with the principles taught by her mother.
So he felt a little unfair, but he was a child and the authority of the adults was still there.
Things scream when they are not equal, so Huanhuan gets angry.
"Dad, light some candles and play."
The simple words made Fang Xing look up at his youngest son. Seeing that he looked a little aggrieved, he remembered that the child was always hungry, so he gave him a fried tofu dumpling and asked, "What candle should I light?"
He was asking about Mochou.
Mochou chuckled, then covered her mouth and said, "Master, Huanhuan sometimes likes to sleep, so I told him the principle of traveling at night by holding a candle."
Everyone was happy when they heard it. Zhang Shuhui looked at the joy of the tiger head and tiger brain, and couldn't help but think of the potato back then: "This child looks like he is blessed."
Xiaobai also said generously: "From now on, the three brothers must support each other and not lose the face of the young master."
Mochou bowed slightly to express his gratitude, and the two bosses expressed their optimism for Huanhuan. As long as the three brothers get along well with each other, they will naturally become a family in the future.
Tudou and Ping An were also very sensible and served Huanhuan vegetables, so the whole family became harmonious.
Only Wuyou, she kept dozing off.
Fang Xing raised his hand to prevent Wuyou's chin from hitting the dining table.
Open your eyes without worry,
Then she was stunned for a moment, her cute look made Fang Xing smile, then he rubbed the top of her head and asked, "What's wrong with my daughter?"
Zhang Shuhui smiled and said: "Wuyou said in the afternoon that he was worried that you were sick, so he would just run over to check on you. If you run too much, you will lose your energy."
Fang Xing felt soft in his heart and said, "Then just eat something light and go to bed."
At this time, there are many rigid rules in wealthy families, especially between father and son.
But in the Fang family, Fang Xing is the rule.
After dinner, Fang Xing called Tudou to go to the study.
Ping An gave Tudou a look behind his back, telling him to be more alert.
This look did not escape Fang Xing's observation, but he didn't care.
As children grow up, they are somewhat separated from adults. This is not a contradiction, but they are gradually getting in touch with the outside world, and their three outlooks are under construction.
When they got to the study, Xiao Dao came in and lit a candle. When he went out, his determined look made Tu Tu feel a little at ease.
When Xiao Dao went out and closed the door, Fang Xing saw Tu Tu trying to keep calm, so he smiled in his heart, and then said, "The King of Han accepted you as his disciple. It seems like nonsense, but it has something to do with something that will happen later in the year."
Tudou immediately forgot about his anxiety, leaned forward slightly and said, "Dad, are you going to go to war?"
Fang Xing said in astonishment: "A brat like you is still going out to fight? You can't even... That's all. After the New Year, if you want to take the path of a warrior, then go to the Jubaoshan Guard to train. If you don't want to, that's up to you." "
Tudou thought for a while and said, "Dad, the kid doesn't know."
Fang Xing encouraged: "Just say it, as a father I won't interfere too much."
This kind of father-son relationship is extremely rare at this moment, so Tudou felt warm and expressed his thoughts.
"Dad, my child likes the days in the academy. He feels energetic when doing exercises in the morning and feels extremely fulfilled when he reads loudly. However, my child's studies are almost done and he should have graduated long ago, so he has been thinking about it for a long time."
"In Congwen's words, the child will be a martial artist in the future, but without the position to do things, that is, just living and waiting to die, but this is not the life the child wants."
"Congwu, Dad, you said that the foreign enemies of the Ming Dynasty were probably defeated in your generation, my child..."
Fang Xing raised his tea cup and Tudou shut up.
After taking a sip of tea, Fang Xing put down the tea cup, pointed at the slightly yellow tea soup and said, "This tea comes from the mountains in the southwest, where it is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, so good tea is produced. There are also places like Fuzhou in the southeast, those places Rock tea also comes from the mountains, and there is a saying that good tea only comes from cliffs.”
Tudou listened to these words respectfully, knowing that they were warnings.
Fang Xing said: "Good tea comes from dangerous places, and good people work hard. Before I became a father, I have been indulging you brothers, but only stick to your studies. Now that the Ming Dynasty's innovation has entered the middle and late stages, it is a critical moment for both civil and military affairs, and countless talents are needed."
He took another sip of tea and felt that it tasted mellow and had a long aftertaste.
"But talents are rare. Even if you are my son and don't have that ability, my father will not ask for help for you. I can't afford to lose this person. It's just the second thing. I'm afraid that you will cause trouble and damage the country."
When Tudou heard this, he stood up and stood by the side with his hands tied.
Fang Xing suddenly asked: "What are your expectations for your life?"
This is a big topic. Tudou is not the child he was originally, and can be answered as a question like "What do you want to be when you grow up?"
He was thinking very carefully, but Fang Xing was drinking tea slowly without urging him.
After drinking a cup of tea, Tudou also thought about it.
"Dad, I just want to protect my family and make great achievements in this life."
If this answer were given to other wealthy families, it would probably be an answer that would get high marks.
But Fang Xing still asked calmly: "For whom do you make contributions?"
Tudou said subconsciously: "For Your Majesty."
There were wrinkles on Fang Xing's brows, and he sighed: "Why is this still the case? Our family has a relationship with His Majesty. I understand that you put him above the Ming Dynasty, but after all, the country is before the emperor, and Your Majesty also agrees with this. "
"As for taking good care of your family, that's right. This is what a father thinks and does."
Fang Xing smiled and said: "You can't even take care of your family, so why talk about serving the country?"
