Fang Laifu returned to the magistrate's house. He sat in his room and slapped the table so hard that all the water in the teacup on the table spilled out.
Ever since he became the steward of the magistrate's house, although he was humble to the magistrate's family in the house, he had always been arrogant outside. Those merchants who were seeking help from the magistrate or Qingyun County, no matter what was behind their backs, still treated him very much on the surface.
of flattery.
But recalling what happened in Zhuyuan today, I was actually ignored by a few country people, not to mention how angry and unwilling I was.
After Lin Yuewei said, "How can a person like you meet my sister?", Fang Laifu couldn't help but became furious and threatened Zhao Dashi, saying that the two young masters did not take the magistrate of Qingyun County seriously, and the consequences would be very serious.
Serious. If you want to be safe and sound, it's best to lose money and avoid disaster.
His true purpose was finally revealed, but he was bumped into by Chang Shi who happened to be passing by.
"What's going on?" Chang Shi frowned and looked at Fang Laifu, then cast a questioning look at Zhao Da.
"Master Shi." Zhao Da had been working under Chang Shi since the beginning and understood his temper. After knowing his identity, he was more respectful to him. So he compared Fang Laifu's purpose of coming and the response of the two young masters Fu Dou'er and Lin Yuewei.
He was explained one by one.
Chang Shi already had a fierce aura in him, and after hearing Zhao Da's story, he stood up and glared at Fang Laifu. He actually dared to knock the bamboo stick on Zhu Yuan's head. Chang Shi
Naturally, the other party will not be polite to you.
Regardless of whether he was the steward of General Chang's Mansion or here at Lin Zhu, Chang Shi has never seen anyone dare to reach out to him. Since the housekeeper of the county magistrate is so bold, Chang Shi doesn't mind giving him a taste of the pain.
.No matter where this place is, who are the people inside, not to mention a few old men, even these two young masters are not something that a mere servant of his can offend.
"Steward Fang," Chang Shi stood not far from Fang Laifu. His aura alone made him feel a little intimidated. "The two young masters mean what my master means."
After saying that, he ignored Fang Laifu's face, which was about to explode with anger, and asked Zhao Da, "Has the magistrate's wife's carriage been repaired?"
"Master Shi, it has been repaired a long time ago." Zhao Da replied.
"Let the coachman check it out. If there is no problem, send them back. The girls are still on the mountain, so there is no need to alarm them." After Chang Shi finished speaking, he turned to leave. But when he saw Fu Dou'er and Lin Yuewei, he stopped again.
"Master Fu, Master Yue. I wonder how you finished the homework left by the girl?" These two little naughty boys are lazy whenever they have the opportunity. Although Chang Shi dotes on them very much, they will not be careless in serious matters.
So when the two of them heard what Chang Shi said, their expressions changed, "Uncle Chang Shi, we'll go back right away." After saying that, Lin Yuewei took Fu Dou'er's little hand, and the two of them ran back to their yard.
Zhao Da asked the county magistrate's wife's coachman to check the carriage, but Fang Laifu was ignored gorgeously.
He was unwilling to do so, but he did not dare to cause trouble in the Zhuyuan at this time. Although he was a villain, he still had some discernment and could tell that the people here were not something that a small person like him could afford to offend.
So he could only swallow his resentment and secretly think about finding an opportunity to regain his position in the future.
After the coachman checked the condition of the carriage, he found that the people were very considerate. Not only did they repair the damaged areas, but they also repaired all the hidden dangers. This made him feel good about the people in Zhuyuan. What's more,
In my heart, I laughed at Butler Fang for kicking the iron plate and meeting a group of people who didn't care about his small status.
The two of them were silent all the way, and drove the carriage back to the magistrate's office. There was a scene where Fang Laifu smashed the table in anger.
When he returned to the mansion, of course he had to reply to the county magistrate's wife first. Although Fang Laifu wanted to smear the people in Zhuyuan, the matter of the carriage was there, and they had not done anything rude, so it was not easy for him to add insult to injury.
bad words.
However, there was no hint of wanting to say good things about the people in Zhuyuan in his words. Instead, he sounded like he had been wronged.
However, the county magistrate's wife's thoughts were not here. She was so worried about her son's affairs that she ignored the grievance in Fang Laifu's tone.
"Then have you asked where the owner of that garden comes from?" The county magistrate's wife was a little curious about the bamboo garden. From what the housekeeper said, the bamboo garden seemed very big.
"Back to Madam, I haven't seen the owner of the garden." Fang Laifu felt happy in his heart as he finally asked this question. As long as Madam keeps asking, he will be able to tell all the unreasonable things about the people in the Bamboo Garden.
"Only the steward and the two young masters are here."
"Oh," the magistrate's wife nodded, "how about that garden?"
"Huh?" Fang Laifu was stunned for a moment, but he immediately reacted, "It's lined with green trees, full of flowers, and the scenery is pretty good." Although it was a bit embarrassing, this was not a good time to put on some shoes for Zhuyuan.
"Yes." The county magistrate's wife nodded and let him go out. It was just a small matter and she didn't take it to heart.
However, the more Fang Laifu thought about it, the more annoyed he became, especially the contemptuous look in Chang Shi's eyes at the end, which made him even more uncomfortable. After coming to Qingyun County, he had never received such treatment, so how could he bear it.
Although he wanted to take revenge on everyone in Zhuyuan, he did not expect that the opportunity would come so quickly.
Fang Youwei, the magistrate of Qingyun County, had only one son, Fang Shaohua, so he naturally had high expectations for him. However, Fang Shaohua did not live up to expectations. Not only was he not good at school, he was also a well-known dandy in Qingyun County.
Because his father was a county magistrate, people who were wronged could only be angry but dare not speak out, which further fostered his arrogant character. Except for the county magistrate, he dared not look down on anyone.
Fang Shaohua, who was reported to the county magistrate by his husband for beating a student in the college and was banned for a month, did not dare to cause trouble in Qingyun County again for a while. So out of boredom, he went to Fang Laifu to ask if there was anything good nearby.
place.
"Master, a few days ago, my wife's carriage broke down halfway, and we happened to come across a garden with a nice view. I would like to go and borrow it from them. The master is recuperating there for a period of time, so that I can put my mind at ease."
." Fang Laifu had no good intentions and led the 'disaster' to Zhuyuan.
"Oh, is there such a good place?" Thinking about the places in Qingyun County that Young Master Fang has never been to, there are places he doesn't know about. "Where is it in the county seat?"
"Master, this garden is not in this county, but on the edge of Song County. It's not too far from Qingyun County." Fang Laifu explained to him carefully.
Fang Shaohua originally had no interest in places far away from the government office, but as he listened, he felt a little interested. The garden was big and there were mountains. Wouldn't that be a good place for hunting?
All along, the magistrate and his wife were always worried about his safety and did not allow him to go hunting, which made his many dandy disciples in Qingyun County very embarrassed.
But according to the housekeeper, this seemed to be a suitable place, and Fang Shaohua couldn't help but feel a little moved.
Moreover, given the prestige of the county magistrate, there was no place that could not be borrowed by merchants. Fang Shaohua, who only wanted to hunt and have fun, never thought about whether he would be rejected by the owner of the garden.
So, he went to the county magistrate's wife to plead for mercy, and repeatedly claimed that he would study hard in this beautiful place, looking like a prodigal son turning back.
The magistrate's wife, who didn't know the truth, was overjoyed and quickly agreed to his request.
But since Zhuyuan was praised so well by the housekeeper, she also thought of going there for a few days. On the one hand, she was afraid that her son would not be used to living there, and on the other hand, she also wanted to see if he sincerely repented and reviewed his schoolwork.
.
After Lin Zhu heard the news from the county magistrate's wife, she was very puzzled. She discussed it with General Chang and others.
"Grandpa, what do you think this county magistrate's wife means?" Lin Zhu felt that it was inappropriate for her to make such a request since he had never met this magistrate's wife.
"Go back." General Chang waved his hand. He didn't notice that the county magistrate's wife was not his wife. Besides, her request was considered unreasonable.
"I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this." Old Doctor Zhang had the exact opposite opinion to General Chang. "If she refused directly, she might offend the Qingyun County Government, and she said she wanted to find a quiet place for her son to review his studies.
Although there are women at home, we might as well lend them the part of the guest house to stay temporarily. Just tell them that it won’t last long.”
"It just so happens that Bin'er and Wenbo also want to study. Let them take care of them then." Mr. Du found something for his grandson to do so that he would not have to stare at him drinking all day long.
Since Dr. Zhang and Mr. Du both agreed, General Chang didn't say anything more. After all, it would be of some benefit to Zhuyuan to make friends with the county magistrate.
So the county magistrate's wife and her son Fang Shaohua settled in Zhuyuan.
Lin Zhu personally went to greet Mrs. Fang Zheng, while Du Bin and Dong Wenbo came forward to entertain Fang Shaohua.
Only then did Mrs. Fang know that the original owner of the bamboo garden was Lin Zhu, a fourteen-year-old girl, and she was somewhat surprised.
"Miss Lin is really young and promising. It is very rare that such a big garden is built so well." Mrs. Fang said politely, "I really envy your elders for having such a smart and smart daughter like you."
"Madam, you're welcome." Lin Zhu just smiled and nodded, without telling her life experience. The magistrate's temptation was obvious, but Lin Zhu was still very cautious and did not want to cause any inconvenience to General Chang and others.
"Because there are female relatives in the inner courtyard, I have no choice but to let you live in the guest courtyard. I hope my wife can understand." Not only myself, but also Zhang Manyun and Dong Yuzhen are here, so Fang Shaohua cannot be allowed to enter the inner courtyard.
And even if it is Mrs. Fang, Lin Zhu will arrange her in a relatively safe courtyard. She doesn't want people to know about the things at Zhuyuan Hot Spring for the time being.
The stone arrived. Although it was very small, it turned green, wow! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
