Chapter 52 Wealth Is Like Floating Clouds
It was broad daylight, but Fang Xing was still lying in bed. He still couldn't accept that he was actually Zhang Fu's brother-in-law.
The letter that Zhang Shuhui read yesterday was sent by Zhang Fu from Jiaozhi. The letter said that Li, one of the two elder sisters-in-law, is not in good health and has been recuperating in recent years.
This meant to let Zhang Shuhui calm down, and then the letter said that the family had opened an ancestral hall. Because there was no British official Zhang Fu's permission for the extermination of the family, so it can't be counted.
This matter has been summoned to the tribe and told the ancestors.
In the Ming Dynasty, the clan was the sky, and those who were expelled from the clan were in constant fear. As a woman, Zhang Shuhui suffered even more from it, so after learning that her elder brother did not intend to exterminate the family, her eyes were swollen from crying yesterday.
And yesterday Zhang Fu also asked people to bring silver notes as Zhang Shuhui's dowry, which seemed to be quite a lot.
"Hey! Where's the banknote?"
Fang Xing remembered that Zhang Shuhui was crying and laughing last night, neither of them took the matter of the bank note to heart, and in the end they didn't know...
Fang Xing hurriedly got up, rummaged through boxes and cabinets, and finally found the envelope containing the banknote under the bed.
After counting, the corners of Fang Xing's mouth twitched, and then he locked the banknotes into the small box beside the bed.
No matter whether he is machismo or petty, he will not touch the money, and leave it all to Zhang Shuhui.
After washing up and walking out of the back house, Fang Xing heard Zhu Zhanji's voice teaching the servants.
In the front hall, when Fang woke up, he saw Zhang Shuhui receiving a middle-aged man accompanied by Xiaobai and Fang Jielun.
"Husband."
"Master."
Seeing Fang wake up, everyone stood up to say hello.
"But Mr. Fang face to face?"
The middle-aged man asked with a smile. He has an amiable smile and a refined demeanor.
"It's Fang."
Fang Xing saw Zhang Shuhui's reply letter in the middle-aged man's hand, and knew that this person was sent by Zhang Fu.
Since he could be sent by Zhang Fu to deliver letters and bank notes, then this person must be his confidant.
Thinking of this, Fang Xing asked him to sit down, and the two exchanged a few words.
"I'm Xue Huamin, lucky enough to be valued by the Duke, and is currently working as a husband in the Zhang family."
The middle-aged man introduced himself with a smile.
gentlemen?
Fang Xing's mind turned, and he thought of the Zhang family matter that Zhang Shuhui said yesterday.
Zhang Fu has a high position and authority, but it is difficult for his heirs. The only son also has some mental problems and is shameful.
Then this should be the staff.
Xue Huamin stroked his short beard and looked at Fang Xing. Before leaving, Zhang Fu asked him to take a good look at this brother-in-law.
But no matter how he looked at it, Fang Xing was calm and composed, neither humble nor overbearing.
Very rare!
You must know that Zhang Fu had a younger sister who entered the palace and became the emperor's concubine. He himself has three daughters, one has already entered the palace and is beside the prince, and the other two are also the children of his relatives. Among the women in the Zhang family, only Zhang Shuhui was promised the so-called reading seed Fang Xing.
And the two future son-in-laws have been trembling when they saw Zhang Fu, for fear that this upright father-in-law would teach them a lesson.
Fang Xing saw Xue Huamin's meaningful smile, and said, "Since Mr. Xue has come to Fangjiazhuang, let's stay for a few more days, so that Shu Hui can understand the family relationship."
Xue Huamin invited Zhang Shuhui to see her early in the morning, and Fang Xing was waiting for this sentence. Immediately he got up and smiled and said: "I will stick to my wish, but I dare not ask for it."
Seeing Fang Xing communicating freely with Xue Huamin, Zhang Shuhui felt warm in her heart, and felt that she really found a good match in this life. And when she went to the bedroom and saw the bank notes in her small box, she felt even warmer in her heart, feeling that the gloomy sky outside was so charming.
Fang Xing and Xue Huamin chatted, but when Xue Huamin talked about Confucianism, Fang Xing pointed to his head and said with a wry smile: "I have forgotten those things after waking up, and now I am just doing some miscellaneous learning to chat* *That's all, let Mr. Xue laugh."
"Oh! That's a pity!"
Xue Huamin would not believe Fang Xing's words. He thought that Fang Xing was just frightened by the emperor's thunderous anger, so he simply became a small landlord in the countryside and was unwilling to enter the officialdom for the rest of his life.
However, the British father-in-law has too many relatives, so he doesn't mind having a farming brother-in-law.
Fang Xing heard a commotion outside, so he knew it was the end of the school, so he got up and made arrangements: "Mr. Xue will take a rest first, and walk around the village when he has time. There is nothing else here, and the folk customs are simple."
"Brother Dehua, it's getting late, why are you still dawdling!"
Xue Huamin was about to leave, but a young man in brocade clothes walked in at the door. After seeing this person, Xue Huamin was startled, before he had time to think about the joints, he hurriedly knelt down to greet him.
"Who are you?"
Don't look at Zhu Zhanji's amiability in Fang's family, but when he faces outsiders, when he turns his face away, that aura of superiority can make people's hearts tremble.
Xue Huamin bowed his head and said: "His Royal Highness, the student Xue Huamin is a document of the British government."
Zhu Zhanji let out an oh and told him to get up.
After Xue Huamin stood there in a restrained manner, Zhu Zhanji asked with some surprise: "But the British Duke asked you to come?"
"Return to Your Highness, that's right."
Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "It seems that the British public has recognized this girl?"
With the power of the royal family, the details of Fang Xing's family have been thoroughly investigated long ago. It's just that Zhu Zhanji couldn't reach out to take care of Fang Xing's family affairs, so he pretended not to know Zhang Shuhui's identity.
Xue Huamin could not answer this topic, he could only look at Fang Xing for help.
Fang Xing frowned and said, "Don't worry about these things, come with me to the study."
Fang Xing would not be interested at all if the British Duke's family affairs did not involve his wife.
After Fang Xing and Zhu Zhanji left, Xue Huamin dared to wipe the sweat off his forehead, feeling horrified.
Fang Xing actually dared to speak to the emperor's grandson in such a tone. It seems that although he and the emperor's grandson did not have the status of mentors and apprentices, the rumors that they have masters and apprentices are not false at all.
In the study, Zhu Zhanji saw that Fang Xing was still calm, and while secretly admiring him, he also reminded: "Brother Dehua, Duke Ying is a pillar of the country, a benchmark figure in martial arts, grandpa and grandpa." My father is full of praise for him!"
Fang Xing knew that Zhu Zhanji's words were trying to wake him up, so he said nonchalantly, "Whatever he is, I'm just like this anyway, don't care about him, Lord Wu of the United Kingdom, if he wants to recognize me as a relative, then everyone can move around, If you don't want to, then I don't care about it."
Fang Xing stated that he was not afraid of the powerful, but when he saw Zhu Zhanji's troubled face, he waved his hands in front of his eyes a few times.
Zhu Zhanji said dumbfoundedly: "Brother Dehua, Wu Guogong can't talk nonsense in the future!"
"What can't you say? Who is Wu Guogong in the court at present? It makes you so scared."
Fang Xing felt that Zhu Zhanji was making a fuss out of a molehill.
