Chapter 42: More Handsome than Me and Dare to Steal Fish
The kingfisher sang and flew across the river lightly, splashing a series of ripples.
It was Fang Xing's first time riding a horse, and he was led by Lao Qi Xin tremblingly along the river.
"Master, why don't you ride on the road?"
Xin Laoqi felt that the road by the river was too narrow and a little uneven.
Fang Xing sat up straight on the horse's back, feeling very good, and said, "What do you know! What if the horse is startled on the road?"
Walking slowly, after Fang woke up enough, he felt some discomfort in his buttocks and inner thighs.
The Yangliu Yiyi in front of me was early in the morning, but there were already people fishing by the river.
Fang Xing dismounted, then slipped over to take a look.
Fishermen like to look at other people's fish reels the most. If there are few fish, then their sense of superiority will arise spontaneously. If there are too many fish, my heart will be sour.
With a clatter, the fish basket was lifted up, and there were three fish in it, each weighing half a catty.
"Yo! Isn't this Brother Fang?"
Fang Xing was startled, turned his head to look, only to realize that this person was not from Fangjiazhuang.
"So what, who are you?"
Fang Xing was a little upset. The river near Fangjiazhuang was his resource. A fish and a shrimp in it belonged to him, but this man came here on purpose, right?
The man was dressed in silk, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and was tall. Compared with him, Fang Xing became a supporting role.
The man got up and said with a smile, "little brother Li Mao, Zheng and Brother Fang are neighbors."
"Neighbor?"
Fang Xing looked at the farm on the right, and said in surprise, "But Mr. Li's family?"
The man made a bow and said, "Little brother Li Mao, my father is the Governor of Shuntian Mansion."
Fang Xing let out a cry, and looked at the fish basket with some surprise.
Seeing that Fang Xing didn't speak, Li Mao smiled and said, "Brother Fang, I'm taking the liberty to come to the door today, may I bother you with a cup of tea?"
Tea your sister!
Fang Xing shook his head, and said lightly, "Sorry, I still have some things to do here, so I'm neglecting you."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left. Xin Laoqi led the horse behind and said in a low voice, "This is Fangjiazhuang."
"Yes! This is Fangjiazhuang."
Li Mao said with a pleasant smile, and then he quickly released the fish in the fish basket.
He is a smart person, but Fang Xing is unwilling to deal with this kind of person.
After returning home, Fang Xing found Fang Jielun and asked about the Li family.
"No friendship."
Fang Jielun is training the two servants assigned to him these few days, so he is very busy.
"No friendship?"
Fang Xing stroked his bare chin, and said somewhat speculatively, "Could it be that this guy has a purpose?"
No matter what the purpose was, Fang Jielun just said with some displeasure: "Master, when you got married, I sent invitations."
"Didn't come? Or is there a congratulatory gift!"
Fang Xing felt that we were all neighbors, so there must be something alike.
Fang Jielun shook his head, and said disdainfully: "At that time, Mr. Zhang's village gave ten taels of silver, but the Li family? Humph! Just treat it as nothing!"
Fang Xing said angrily: "Then he still dares to come to Fangjiazhuang to fish? Old Qi!"
Xin Laoqi immediately ran in, Fang Xing ordered: "Go and see, if that Li Mao is still there, drive him away!"
Xin Laoqi immediately took people there, he thought Li Mao was too much, he was more handsome than his own young master, yet he dared to steal fish, it was extremely cruel!
But when Xin Laoqi got to the river, he found that there was only one fishing rod left, and even the fish basket was there.
"Received!"
Xin Laoqi felt that it was normal to confiscate the stolen tools.
Knowing that Li Mao had slipped away, Fang Xing was really happy, so he decided to go and see the situation on Zhuangzi.
Followed by two servants,
His eyes were full of brightly colored crops, Fang Xing felt a sense of peace in his heart, he even forgot about the brooding just now.
You are more handsome than me, but you still dare to steal fish, you are going to die!
The farmers are very obedient. The vacated land is already full of peppers, and the Chinese cabbage is already very thick in those corners.
The half-green and half-red peppers looked like flowers, Fang Xing smiled and said to Ma Su who followed: "After harvesting, they can be dried into dried peppers or made into kimchi together with Chinese cabbage, so that we There are vegetables to eat."
Ma Su touched the chili pepper and felt that his teacher was so omniscient that he could turn foreign plants into condiments.
"Huh!"
Fang Xing looked around and found that Zhu Zhanji was not there, so he asked, "Where's that Taishun?"
Currently Fang Xing is not planning to change his name, otherwise he really doesn't know what to call him.
The grandson of the emperor?
In that case, he would rather drive that guy out of Fangjiazhuang than be respectful all day long.
Ma Su scratched his head and said, "He said he would go to the city to do some business and come back later."
Zhang Taishun has been a little busy recently, probably because he is going to help his father, Prince Zhu Gaochi of Ming Dynasty to oversee the work.
Just as Zhu Zhanji was talking, he saw a horse rushing towards him quickly. When I got closer, I realized it was this guy.
Zhu Zhanji rolled off the saddle and got off the horse. Before he could speak, Fang Xing laughed and said, "Which girl are you chasing after?"
Zhu Zhanji held the whip and said angrily: "I just got to the gate of the village when I was stopped by the governor's son. I was so angry that I almost whipped him a few times."
Fang Xing laughed, but he knew in his heart that Zhu Zhanji was not that kind of cruel person, so...
Li Mao, paralyzed! How dare you speak ill of me, you wait!
Zhu Zhanji's anger came and went quickly. He looked at the red pepper and asked happily: "Brother Dehua, can you accept it now?"
Fang Xing didn't know much about it, but he still pretended: "We have to wait a bit, when the peppers are all red, we can collect them."
Zhu Zhanji's eyes flashed brightly, "Brother Dehua, can this kind of chili be supplied to the army? I think everyone in the Nine Sides needs this thing to keep out the cold."
Fang Xing said with some reluctance: "Of course, as long as the follow-up scale increases, just send the seeds directly."
Zhu Zhanji thought that Fang Xing was a noble hermit, so he didn't talk about money at all.
However, clear rewards and punishments are the necessary qualities for the future emperor, so Zhu Zhanji said with some headaches: "Brother Dehua, but you don't want to be an official, so what should you do?"
Fang Xing put his hands behind his back, and the clothes on his back had already been kneaded into a ball of sauerkraut.
At that time, I thought I had no backing! That's why I dare not become an official. If I knew the identity of you, I would be a bird!
However, Fang Xing would not do things that he regretted, so he pretended to be indifferent and said: "Unrighteousness, rich and expensive, is like floating clouds to me!"
This pretense is very good, at least Zhu Zhanji is full of admiration.
"Brother Dehua, don't worry, this is your credit. If anyone dares to snatch it, I will be the first to refuse!"
Fang Xing let go of his hand, and he pretended to say: "Why bother! I'm a commoner, I don't want to be famous, I just want peace of mind."
The highest state of pretending is to believe even yourself, so Fang Xing waved his hand, "Go, today's class is not over yet!"
