King Li You of Qi was the first to come to express his condolences. He probably had been keeping an eye on the goings-on in the Fang Mansion and came to the door as soon as he received the news that the old man had passed away.
Looking at Li You, who rarely bowed and saluted seriously in the mourning hall, Fang Jun was a little suspicious.
Since he secretly supported the Wu family and embarrassed the Fang family, why did he treat the Fang family with such grand courtesy at this time? As soon as the dignified prince heard the news of the death of the Fang family, he came to express his condolences. This would have a great impact on the direction of the entire Qizhou officialdom.
The big hint immediately raised the Fang family's status to another level.
Isn’t it contradictory?
King Li You of Qi didn't know these mixed thoughts in Fang Jun's mind. After bowing, he listened to the palace officials beside him read a poem of condolence written in parallel four and six, which was difficult to understand, and then he left the mourning hall with his hands behind his back.
Fang Jun and the Fang family led Li You to a side hall to sit down and served him tea.
Li You immediately waved his hand and said impatiently: "You all, please step aside and let me have a chat with the roommate."
Fang Yixun and Fang Yijian looked at each other, shocked.
What's going on with these two sticks? One moment they were gnashing their teeth and wanting to bite each other, and the next moment they were whispering in secret, as if they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time...
But it seems that the relationship is still okay after all. Unlike the rumors from the outside world, which are so hateful and tit-for-tat, there is room for relaxation on the ancestral grave matter, which is a top priority!
Therefore, when Fang Yixun was about to go out, he secretly winked at Fang Jun.
Fang Jun nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
Fang Yixun, Fang Yijian and a group of vassal guards from Prince Qi's Mansion came out of the side hall together.
Fang Yixun gently closed the door, looked at the palace guards on the left and right, relaxed a little from the pressure in his heart, and hurriedly went outside with his brothers to greet the guests.
**********
In the side hall, Fang Jun and Qi Wang Li You sat opposite each other.
On both sides are a pair of plum blossom-style foreign lacquered small tables. On the left table is a Wenwang cauldron spoon and an incense box, and on the right table is a Ruyao beauty goblet with a cluster of white plum blossoms inserted in the goblet, as well as tea bowls, phlegm boxes and other items. On the ground floor
There are four Hu stools in the west row, all of which are equipped with brocade chairs and four pairs of footrests. On both sides of the Hu stools, there are also a pair of high tables, with tea bowls, vases and flowers on them.
This is the living room temporarily set up by the Fang family. Even if it is for funeral arrangements, it cannot be too shabby or lose its status when entertaining distinguished guests.
But it is a temporary living room after all. The house has been vacant for a long time, so it is inevitably cold. Even if charcoal pots are lit in the four corners of the room, it is still cold and empty.
Only the turquoise tea in the white porcelain teacup on the table in front of you exudes steam, mixed with the faint fragrance of tea. Taking a sip warms your heart and refreshes your heart and mind.
Neither of them spoke, each held a tea cup in their hands and drank the tea.
After a while, the tea bottomed out.
Fang Jun clapped his palms lightly, then a maid from the Fang family came in, refilled the tea for the two of them, and then bowed and left.
Suck, suck, suck
Keep drinking tea.
Fang Jun's eyebrows were lowered, as if all his mind was concentrated on the tea in the tea cup, unaware that there was a prince in front of him.
Li You also lowered his head and said nothing, but his eyes quickly turned around.
When it comes to cultivating Qi, how can he compare with Fang Jun, who once sat for a long time with a cup of tea and a newspaper?
It didn't take long before they were defeated.
"Ahem... then, Fang Er, you are quite nimble with your legs and feet. Qizhou is eight or nine hundred miles away from Chang'an, and you are here so soon..."
This was a case where he had nothing to say. Fang Jun was too lazy to pay attention to him, smiled faintly, and continued drinking tea.
Li You looked at the calm guy in front of him and felt lucky that he didn't curse out loud.
Mother! Why are you pretending to be Zhuge Liang?
Who in Man Chang'an doesn't know what this big mallet of yours is? You actually started playing with me...
"Fang Er, do you have anything to ask me for?" Li You said.
Fang Jun finally raised his eyelids, looked at Li You, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, will you give me this face?"
Li You smiled proudly and said: "Then who knows? But I can't say for sure. If I am in a good mood, it's not a big deal. How will you know if you don't try?"
Fang Jun smiled half-heartedly, looking at Li You's "come and beg me" look, and almost wanted to punch him...
Li You was not a wealthy man, and his behavior at this time was enough to show that the dispute over the Fang family's cemetery was aimed at him, Fang Jun.
But the problem is that the dispute over the cemetery had already happened in the summer. At that time, Fang Jun was still enjoying the beauty of being promoted to a higher official in his own world and had not traveled to this time. How could the former Fang Yiai and Qi Wang Li You
Is it related? Besides, Li You was still in Chang'an at that time.
I can't figure it out...
Fang Jun thought in his heart and said: "Your Highness doesn't have to be so pretentious. If you have any requests, just ask them. If it's within someone's ability, no problem; if you force someone to make things difficult, hey, I'm afraid His Highness won't be able to stop someone...
…”
Li You was stunned.
Damn it, since when did this second-rate idiot become so smart?
This is a clever plan that I came up with after thinking hard...
The most important thing is, how dare this bastard not give me face? Why do you think this is still Chang'an City and your father is protecting you?
Li You was furious and said: "Fang Er, don't be so shameless! Haha, I can't stop you? Tell me, what are you going to do?"
Fang Jun chuckled: "For example... break the legs of some immoral things..."
As soon as Li You saw the ferocious smile on Fang Jun's face, he couldn't help but remember the time when he beat himself up in Zuixian Tower. His heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously stood up and yelled sternly: "How brave! I am a noble man from Tianhuang. How can I do that?"
Can I be beaten and humiliated by you again and again? This is Qizhou City. If you dare to touch me, do you believe that I will convict you of a heinous crime of conspiring to usurp? You will be executed first and then punished?"
Fang Jun chuckled: "Your Highness is joking, so of course I can't hit you, but others are not afraid of so and so, such as the Wu family..."
Hearing what Fang Jun said, Li You secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt a burst of embarrassment. He was actually afraid that this guy would beat him up...
Could it be possible to really kill him?
Li You really wanted to do this, but he didn't dare!
His Majesty Li Er sent him to Qizhou, which was a restless place, and he was still worried. He actually sent a long history officer to monitor him, the one named Quan Wanji...
Thinking of Quan Wanji, it makes people hate him even more than the fool in front of me! He has a coffin face, full of benevolence, justice, morality, loyalty, filial piety and etiquette. He can't do this and won't let that. He doesn't catch himself going there all day long.
Training to the death means secretly writing memorials to the emperor and making small reports...
I thought that although I was far away from Chang'an, I was still far away from the emperor, so I could do whatever I wanted and be quite happy. However, it turned out that it was no better than being in jail! Let me leave such a person who can't be beaten or scolded, and still wears a hooded shirt.
How can an old immortal wearing a "golden bell mask given by the emperor" live his life?
Fang Jun squinted his eyes, looked at Li You, and said calmly: "Your Highness, there is no need to beat around the bush, just tell me the conditions!"
