Three hundred and twenty seventh chapter plump ideal
Fang Shaohua gradually lost his patience. More than a month passed, but he still didn't even meet the three ladies in the inner courtyard. And he always felt that the servants in Zhuyuan who were in charge of the guest courtyard looked at him.
My son is always a little wary. Could it be that I did something wrong?
Very few people knew about the three young ladies in the inner courtyard who were interested in him, and since they were his close confidants, he did not doubt that some of them had leaked the information.
But the strange atmosphere in the guest house had to make him a little more cautious. Moreover, he felt that it was difficult to show his strengths when compared with Du Bin and Dong Wenbo in academics. Of course, this was his weakness.
So he turned his attention to the purpose of coming here in the first place. What he wanted most was to go hunting in the mountains.
Moreover, he felt that if there was any place where he could compare with Du and Dong, it would be horseback riding and hunting, which weak scholars like them were not good at.
Fang Shaohua believed that as long as he sent the prey to the inner courtyard, it would definitely arouse the curiosity of the three girls. In this way, he would have the opportunity to show his charm in front of them.
Maybe, we could also use hunting as an excuse to enter the inner courtyard.
Fang Shaohua just made his own wishful thinking.
On the other hand, Ms. Zheng also vaguely guessed her son's thoughts, but she had no intention of stopping him, and was actually somewhat happy to see it come to fruition.
First of all, although she did not know the specific background of Lin Zhu and others, it was not difficult for Zheng to tell from their speech and behavior that they might come from official families.
Secondly, since he came from the capital, if his son can really get his wish, it might be a big help to his father-in-law, the magistrate of Qingyun County.
So Zheng accidentally asked the three people about some interesting things about the capital. When they briefly talked about it, she couldn't help but feel reassured. It seemed that her guess was not wrong.
Therefore, even though it was difficult for her to leave the magistrate's house for a long time, she had to shamelessly stay longer for the sake of her son.
"Sister Zhu, why hasn't that county magistrate's wife left yet?" Zhang Manyun complained directly. Ever since they came, they have felt a lot more restrained. They have to be reserved at all times even when walking in the yard, which is no different from that in the capital. Let her
Very unpleasant.
"It should be soon." Lin Zhu also frowned slightly. Although she didn't know what Mrs. Zhixian was planning, but she had been a guest in someone else's house for such a long time, so she should leave voluntarily out of etiquette.
And Zheng was a shrewd person at first glance. How could she not know this? What on earth was she thinking? Lin Zhu couldn't help but think about it in her heart.
A few days later, Lin Zhu suddenly heard Chang Shi talking about Fang Shaohua going to the mountains to hunt.
"Rejected him." Lin Zhu looked unhappy, "Didn't this person want to find a quiet place to study hard? Where did these frivolous things come from!" Lin Zhu was thinking about how to let them leave.
How could Fang Shaohua be given such an opportunity? "Uncle Chang Shi, tell him that since he is studying, he should concentrate on it. Don't do these meaningless things."
Lin Zhu didn't know what Chang Shi told Fang Shaohua afterwards, but according to people in the guest house, after meeting Chang Shi, the son of the magistrate's family looked very ugly, red and white, and seemed a little angry.
.Not a grain of rice was eaten for dinner that day.
Lin Zhu, Zhang Manyun and Dong Yuzhen just listened to these gossips as a joke. No one took it to heart.
"Mother, they clearly look down on our family." Fang Shaohua was so angry that he ran to Mrs. Zheng to complain.
"What do you mean, the garden is such an important place that no one can enter." Fang Shaohua's face was full of anger. "I have never seen such an arrogant servant. If he were in the house, I would have told him to understand who the master is." He tightened his grip.
His hands and veins were exposed.
"Humph, they are just some people who were kicked out of their families, but they dare to look down on my son." Mrs. Zheng's tone was also very bad.
"Mother, what do you mean?" Fang Shaohua's eyes lit up after hearing Zheng's words.
"Which noble lady would stay in a place like this for several months? She must have made some mistakes at home and was sent here to reflect." Zheng had this doubt in her mind for a long time, but because of Lin Zhu and others
She had always been very calm, so she didn't think about it.
But what happened to her son made her involuntarily assume the worst about them.
Fang Shaohua suddenly felt that this was a hidden fact, and his mother's guess was probably correct. Then there was no need for him to try every means to please them, some small tricks should be able to settle them.
Therefore, with Zheng's acquiescence, Fang Shaohua came to the inner courtyard more frequently, and every time he came in, he would stay for a long time before leaving.
When leaving, five out of ten times he would confront Lin Zhu and others from a distance. Sometimes, he would ignore the obstruction of his servants and say hello to Lin Zhu and others. He would also pretend to be a romantic and talented man. Look.
The three of them couldn't help but do evil in their hearts.
However, Zheng and Fang Shaohua's wishful thinking did not succeed, so Fang Youwei, the magistrate of Qingyun County, sent someone to pick them up.
Although Fang Shaohua didn't want to leave, he had to leave because of Fang Youwei's strong order.
However, before leaving, a piece of news about the Bamboo Garden moved his heart, and he had a plan in mind.
"Father." When Fang Shaohua returned home, he went to the county magistrate Fang Youwei to pay his respects.
"I know I'll come back." Fang Youwei also understood his son's bad nature, but he was also very satisfied with Fang Shaohua's performance outside during this period. He thought that he could settle down to study and prepare for the scientific examination. That's why he called him
Come back and educate yourself.
"Father, my son wants to ask his father for advice on something." Fang Shaohua knew that his ability to show off in Qingyun County was all due to his father, so if anything happened, he would always tell his father immediately.
"What's the matter?" Fang Youwei saw his serious look and sat on a chair waiting for his next words.
"The Bamboo Garden my son went to this time was extraordinary." Fang Shaohua recounted what he saw and heard in the Bamboo Garden.
"It's just an ordinary garden." Fang Youwei was not interested.
"Father, this garden is not ordinary." Fang Shaohua shook his head. "Don't you notice the difference in my mother?" He gave the most intuitive example.
"Well," after hearing his son mention it, Fang Youwei thought that when he saw his wife just now, he did feel something was wrong, but he couldn't remember what went wrong. "What's the difference?"
"Mom has become younger." Fang Shaohua's words made Fang Youwei's eyes light up. Yes, yes, that's how it felt. After hearing his son say this, Fang Youwei suddenly remembered that his wife seemed to look similar to five or six years ago.
"So what?" Fang Youwei didn't know what this matter had to do with Zhuyuan.
"Father, I guess the feng shui of Zhuyuan is different from ordinary places. Mother has only stayed there for more than a month, and there have been such obvious changes. If father also lives there for a period of time, then your future...
"Fang Shaohua concealed what he said below.
But whether he said it or not, Fang Youwei understood what he meant. He sat on the chair, thought for a while, raised his head and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"'Buy' that garden." Fang Shaohua said immediately.
"If you go by what you said, the garden is worth a lot of money, and the owner is from the capital. How could it be sold so easily?" Fang Youwei was a little moved, but he didn't express it directly.
But as his son, how could Fang Shaohua not understand what his father meant?
"You might as well use some means." Fang Shaohua raised his eyebrows and said.
"Don't talk nonsense. As a father and an official, you must do things openly and aboveboard." Fang Youwei said pretending to be angry.
"Yes, my son understands." Fang Shaohua blinked his eyes, lowered his head and said yes. He and Fang Youwei looked at each other for a few times, and then came out of his study.
Fang Shaohua had long understood what Fang Youwei meant, that is, he was responsible for being aboveboard, and others would naturally be responsible for some of the 'little tricks'.
Fang Shaohua did not return to his yard. Instead, he went to Zheng's house.
"Mother, my son heard a piece of news, and I don't know if it is true." Fang Shaohua dismissed the servants in Zheng's house.
"What's the news?" Mrs. Zheng asked in a deep voice when she saw how careful he was.
"I heard that there is a hot spring in the bamboo garden. Have you heard about it?" Fang Shaohua told Mrs. Zheng the news he heard in the corner of the inner courtyard of the bamboo garden before leaving.
"Did the person in the garden say that?" Mrs. Zheng remembered that the maid next to her had also mentioned it, but she didn't take it seriously at the time and didn't pay attention.
"Yes." Fang Shaohua nodded.
If there were no hot springs, Mrs. Zheng didn't particularly care about Zhuyuan, but after taking a bath in the hot springs at her natal brother's house, she had been thinking about it for a long time. And her brother also had a bright future since he got this hot spring house.
Although she didn't pay attention to this at the time, she experienced that change personally in the bamboo garden.
Could it be said that Zhuangzi, which has hot springs, really has better feng shui?
"What did your father say?" As soon as Fang Shaohua mentioned this matter to his friend Mo Ruomu, Mrs. Zheng guessed his plan.
"Father said he was aboveboard." Fang Shaohua raised the corners of his mouth with a proud smile on his face.
"Well," Ms. Zheng nodded, "If you need anything, just tell mom." She agreed with Fang Shaohua's approach.
At this time, Mrs. Zheng seemed to have forgotten the identity of Lin Zhu and others that she had guessed. Because she was no longer satisfied with being the wife of a seventh-grade county magistrate, but hoped that her husband would
Officials can reach the state capital or even the capital city.
As the wife of a county magistrate, Mrs. Zheng has been accustomed to living a life of superiority. She believes that as long as Fang Youwei's identity is revealed, there is basically nothing that cannot be accomplished.
Therefore, she never expected that her son would kick such a hard iron plate, so hard that even her natal family could not compete with it, and it would also cause her heavy losses.
Fang Shaohua found some of his good friends, and selected one of them. He first sent him to inform him of his intention to buy the bamboo garden. Of course, the courier was so powerful that he even threatened Zhao Da, who was responsible for the reception, in a rude manner.
"Go and tell your mistress that I have taken a liking to this garden. There are ten thousand taels of silver here, and I want her to sell the garden to me immediately." Hu Pengjia said arrogantly in the outer courtyard of the Zhuyuan.
Zhao Da looked at the dandy in front of him who was neither sitting nor standing, and felt very contemptuous in his heart. "I want to buy a bamboo garden for only ten thousand taels. I have never dreamed that it would be so cheap. Just buying land is enough."
It cost more than 10,000 taels. The girl has invested no less than 200,000 taels of silver in everything here. She must have thought of something like this because her brain was caught in the door."
Hu Pengjia, who had no idea what Zhao Da was thinking, thought he was frightened by the "high price" of 10,000 taels, and thought to himself that he was a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.
"Go and tell your master that this price is a bargain for her. Tell her to give up the garden quickly." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly vote, your
