Chapter 2426 New Allies
When he got home, Tudou had many puzzles in his mind, so he waited for Fang Xing to change his clothes to find answers.
"Dad, since it's just a formality, why does His Highness the King of Han still let the child practice for so long?"
Fang Xing felt a little resentful that the battle was over as soon as he started moving.
"That's a gesture, do you understand?"
Outside, Wuyou was asking about Ping An's previous affairs, and Ping An was coaxing and deceiving.
Tudou was distracted for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Dad, what your Majesty actually wants to see is which family is diligent and which is domineering and incompetent, right?"
"You're right to say that."
Fang Xing thought of Zhu Zhanji's livid face and couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart.
"The honors and relatives are useless, that is a waste of the country's money and food, and there is another question, do the honors and relatives want to serve the country?"
Tudou quickly gave the answer: "The capable relatives can naturally use it, while the incompetent ones will become rice bugs, but they must not be willing to just be rice bugs."
"now it's right."
Fang Xing said happily: "No one is willing to be mediocre, just like Gu Xingzu, he is also a descendant of Xunqi, but he is not a person who can talk on paper, so he is used. But what about Gu Han and Gu Qi? Maybe in the future use?"
Thinking of Gu Qi's performance today, Tudou frowned and said, "Dad, we're still far from it!"
Fang Xing taught the children not to like cramming, but to induce them: "So, will the Gu family be flustered? Are they afraid of being left out by the emperor, or even losing their title?"
While the two father and son were talking, a maid came outside and reported, "Master, there are people from the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion who want to see you. They are the two young masters."
Fang Xing nodded and said, "Invite them to the front hall."
Tudou had already figured it out and said: "Dad, that's why the powerful and powerful want to marry each other. This is to build a network. If you don't have the ability, then if everyone gets together and has no other ability, they can influence the government."
Fang Xing was stunned for a moment, then stood up and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Good son! Let's go and meet these two."
…
"I've met Xing Hebo."
"I met my uncle."
The two different titles didn't make Fang Xing think for a moment. He raised his hand and said, "Brother Xian, please rise."
After the two parties sat down respectively, Gu Han cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Xinghe, my brother is ignorant today. Fortunately, you are magnanimous. When I learned about it, I felt uneasy and came here to apologize."
Tudou thinks this is a bit fake.
The two sides had resolved the conflict, and Gu Qi also helped block a shot, so there was no need to plead guilty?
So what are they here for?
Tudou was thinking, and gradually thought of a possibility.
"My father is far away in Guangxi, and no one has heard of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion. My brother is inevitably a little depressed."
This was the reason given by Gu Han. It seemed very sufficient, but in Fang Xing's eyes it was a joke.
"The Marquis Zhenyuan's defense of the country is worthy of admiration."
Fang Xing's first words were compliments. Gu Han and Gu Qi both straightened their backs and bowed slightly to show respect.
But Fang Xing's expression changed slightly, and he continued, "What do you want to know?"
Well!
Gu Han felt embarrassed immediately.
How can there be such a straightforward question?
Gu Qi was sitting next to him a little uneasy, so he said: "Brother, I told my uncle not to do those literati tricks, but you still don't listen."
Fang Xing smiled slightly and said, "It can be big or small."
In sudden contact, no matter how much goodwill you have, you won't take risks, so it's easy to talk about small things, but it's better to keep your mouth shut about big things, so as not to embarrass everyone.
Gu Han loved literary affairs, and he knew that the city was not cheap, and his calculations were not bad. But facing Fang Xing's directness, he still couldn't resist.
He hesitated for a moment, wanting to get away with it and then leave.
But seeing Gu Qi's excited look, Gu Han sighed in his heart, feeling that he had too few friends in the capital, which made his younger brother feel aggrieved.
"Uncle Xinghe, I would like to ask your Majesty's opinion."
Gu Han raised this question with the attitude of treating a dead horse as a living horse, and then waited for Fang Xing to decline and leave with his brother.
Fang Xing tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
The voice was undetectable, but it made Gu Han's heart tighten.
At this moment, he realized that the things he learned from books could only be used against ordinary people, but Fang Xing was not an ordinary person. He had made the wrong target.
"Your brother and Quanzi are quite similar."
Fang Xing's words made Gu Han feel relieved. He stood up and bowed and said, "I was wrong. Please forgive me, Uncle Xing."
Gu Qi said with some confusion: "Brother, what are you doing?"
Fang Xing pressed his hands and waited for Gu Han to sit down before saying, "If you have the ability, you can do it anytime. If you don't have the ability, you have to live with your tail between your legs."
When Gu Han heard this, he stood up again, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Uncle Xinghe, for your advice. I'll go and write to my father right away. The whole Gu family is very grateful."
Fang Xing's words were short but packed with information. Moreover, he is the emperor's confidant, so what he says is naturally credible.
Gu Xingzu was far away in Guangxi, and all kinds of news were inconvenient. While Gu Han was managing relations in the capital, he was also responsible for collecting news and passing it on.
"To be an official, you need to have a sharp ear and eyes, and draw inferences from one instance to other cases. The Marquis of Zhenyuan is a talented person, and he will seek advantages and avoid disadvantages in the future."
Fang Xing didn't take the credit. Gu Han knew what he meant. Before Gu Xingzu expressed his stance, Fang Xing would just wait and see.
Gu Han resigned, but Gu Qi refused to leave and wanted to get close to Tudou.
There are not many potatoes left in the academy, so he still reads at home after the Chinese New Year. The books he read were relatively miscellaneous, especially the books that Fang Xing kept at the bottom of the box. This opened his eyes and he also called Ping An to read more.
Fang Xing's books were naturally great. After the two brothers became addicted to them, they became impatient with outside entertainment.
"In that case, let's have lunch here later."
Fang Xing said a few words, left the potatoes to entertain the guests, and went back to coax his daughter.
Gu Han was not qualified to face Fang Xing, so he naturally had to go home.
He warned Gu Qi a few words, and after leaving the gate of Fang's house, he said casually, "After today, all of those people will be in danger, fearing that they will get together."
When he got on his horse and left, Huang Zhong, who sent him out, did not report to Fang Xing, but went to Jie Jin to chat for a few words.
"Bringing together relatives is courting death. Smart people are most likely to marry each other. It's okay for everyone to have the same spirit, but it must not be done in a big way, otherwise it will be a recipe for death."
Xie Jin, with a gray beard and an air of dignity, sat there waiting for the food to be served.
"Dehua gave Marquis Zhenyuan a gift, so Gu Han was cautious and thought he would find something to repay first."
After saying this, Xie Jin dropped the matter. As a result, just after lunch, someone came to report that news had been spread from the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.
"...Young brother is ignorant and offended Uncle Xinghe, so he broke his leg. What I said later is that you were magnanimous, sir. Not only did you not do anything, but you also taught me more. The entire Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion is grateful."
"Uncle, this is a sign of goodwill. When Marquis Zhenyuan gets the news, he will definitely write to you."
Huang Zhong felt more and more that Fang Xing was far-sighted and said, "By keeping Gu Qi for dinner, this is a show of goodwill. If Gu Han refuses, then there will definitely be expensive gifts later. Now it seems that our family is An extra ally.”
Fang Xing played with a jade sign and said calmly: "What kind of allies? We don't form cliques. Besides, Tudou and the others still don't have much external relations. Don't worry too much about them in the future."
This is a sign that Tudou and Ping An can regard themselves as more than half adults.
Huang Zhong has been in Fang's family for many years and has long regarded the two children as his nephews. After hearing this, he said, "The eldest young master is fine. Is the second young master a little too young?"
Fang Xing said with a smile in his eyes: "Tudou is caring and has a sense of responsibility, but Ping An is too lazy and pretends to be stupid all the time. That's not a good thing."
Huang Zhong felt that Fang Xing was going too far, so he said, "The second young master likes others to treat him as a fool, so he feels happy."
