Xiao Shuer was puzzled: "Allies? Where to find allies?"
Fang Xiuzhu was mysterious and lowered her voice: "Sister-in-law Shu'er, you can go to your mother and tell her that you want our family to flourish. Please ask your mother to give your second brother more concubines, so that you can have more children and grandchildren."
Prosperous. Then your mother will definitely ask you who is suitable, and you will say that it is better to find a suitable girl from a familiar family. Anyway, there were many girls who admired the second brother, and the second brother is the most caring about old relationships. If the original
Old friend, he will definitely love you even more after entering the house. At that time, when the new person comes in and knows that it was your sister-in-law’s suggestion, he will be very grateful to you and naturally come to your side! By that time, you and the new person will both be loved by the second brother.
, who dares to bully you?"
The little girl became more and more excited as she talked and almost started dancing, probably because she felt more and more that her strategy was brilliant and she couldn't hide her pride.
Xiao Shuer's frown relaxed. She was just suspicious before, but now she is almost certain that someone must have instigated Fang Xiuzhu to say these things in front of her.
Princess Gaoyang?
Wu Meiniang?
It's possible, but...what's the purpose?
Xiao Shuer thought about it over and over, but she couldn't figure it out.
I had no choice but to ask tentatively: "...but if my mother asks about who is suitable, what should I say? After all, I don't know many of my husband's former friends."
Fang Xiuzhu said happily: "You can say..." Halfway through her words, she suddenly rolled her eyes and said: "Of course I'll ask my mother to make the decision. In short, as long as he is an old friend of the second brother and is familiar to my mother, wouldn't such a candidate be better?
wonderful?"
Xiao Shuer half-smiled, nodded and said: "What my little sister said is indeed reasonable. How about... talk to your second brother about this first?"
Fang Xiuzhu was startled. She shook her little hand and said, "No, no! The second brother is the most upright person. If the sister-in-law proposed it, the second brother would definitely refuse in order to avoid being regarded as one of those people who are greedy for the new and dislike the old.
Yes, just ask mother for advice."
"Oh, then I will follow my little sister. When I have free time, my sister-in-law will go ask my mother."
"Hmm... Well, sister-in-law, I want to go to the front yard to see it, so I won't accompany you for now!"
Xiao Shuer smiled gently: "Go quickly!"
Fang Xiuzhu quickly turned around and walked away quickly...
Xiao Shu'er looked at Fang Xiuzhu's pretty figure and was filled with doubts in her heart: Whose idea was this?
*****
When Fang Jun rushed to the front yard, his father Fang Xuanling was talking to an old man in his fifties with a strange appearance, and his mother Lu was accompanying him on the side.
Entering the main hall, Fang Jun bent down and saluted: "Fang Jun has seen this distinguished guest!"
The old man stood up in a hurry, not daring to accept the gift, and said: "How dare you, how dare you! Fang Shaobao is an important minister of the dynasty and the pillar of the empire. How can this old man dare to accept such a gift?"
The two of them were humble, but Mrs. Lu stood up and glared at Fang Jun, saying displeasedly: "What kind of distinguished guest? This is your uncle, a direct blood relative, but we don't know each other."
The old man laughed loudly and stroked his beard and said: "Don't be surprised, sister. Speaking of which, it is also for my brother. Since the fall of the former Sui Dynasty, I resigned and returned home, focusing on compiling the "Chronicles of the Later Wei Dynasty" without leaving home and not caring about the world. How can I know anything about it?
Can you win my thousand-mile horse?"
These words showed that he had great respect for Fang Jun and would never regard himself as an elder because of his seniority.
Fang Jun suddenly realized that this person was Lu Yanqing, and his father Lu Huairen was the cousin of Lu Sidao, the contemporary head of the Lu family, Fanyang County Duke.
, please forgive me."
This person can be regarded as a famous Confucian in the world and is well-known in Youzhou.
Fang Xuanling also nodded and said: "Sanlang is getting married to your house, and it is a close relationship. As a family, we should come and go frequently."
Lu Yanqing looked happy and said repeatedly: "This is nature, this is nature."
Fang Junze glanced at his father... As usual, Fang Xuanling, who was aloof and disdainful of cliques, would never say such a thing. Could it be that because my father failed to be promoted to the Military Aircraft Department this time, he planned to unite more allies and raise a flag?
Is this the big flag of the Fang family?
When Fang Jun sat down, Lu Yanqing also sat down, and the two parties discussed some specific matters about the engagement.
It is said to be a negotiation, but in fact there is not much discussion. Often one party makes a request and the other party agrees without hesitation. The whole process is very harmonious.
After the official conversation was over, Lu Yanqing looked at Fang Jun and said with a smile: "I am coming to Beijing this time. In addition to working hard for my children's marriage, I also want to meet Erlang and tell me something."
Fang Jun was stunned and quickly asked: "How dare you treat your uncle with such love? If something happens, just write to me."
Lu Yanqing shook his head, with a solemn look on his face, and said: "This matter is of great importance. I dare not submit it in a letter. If something goes wrong, the impact will be huge."
Now even Fang Xuanling was curious and asked: "What is it that my brother said?"
Lu Yanqing said in a deep voice: "The assassination case of Chang Sun Chong has already become a big deal and is known to the whole world. Although I live in the land of Youyan, I have heard about it, and I am very angry about what happened to Erlang!"
After a pause, he saw several members of the Fang family looking at him, and then he said: "On the night when Chang Sun Chong was assassinated, the Qingzhou Navy's fleet stationed in Hejian Mansion set out overnight and went up the river, and happened to bump into it.
During the entire assassination process, several assassins were even arrested. It is said that they were interrogated overnight and they were said to have been ordered by Erlang... But afterwards, I learned that the reason why the Qingzhou Navy was able to appear at the place where the crime occurred that night was no accident.
, but someone was transferred to the place by the navy in advance, and they were well prepared, but they created signs of coincidence. I don’t know who is involved behind this, but I hope Erlang will pay attention to it and don’t think it is just a simple matter.
The false accusation will not stop here. In my opinion, I am afraid that there is some mystery in it and it is full of malice."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the Fang family and his son suddenly changed.
I originally thought that Changsun Wuji's visit was just an excuse to block Fang Jun's promotion path. If what Lu Yanqing said is true, then this matter was premeditated and he wrote and staged a big drama.
Not to mention Fang Jun's anger, even Fang Xuanling looked sullen and said angrily: "Changsun Wuji really bullied others too much!"
Fang Jun suppressed the anger in his heart and asked, "I wonder if what my uncle said is true?"
If it comes from hearsay, it may not be credible. Now that the grievances between him and Changsun Wuji are unclear, it is difficult to rule out that someone deliberately released this kind of news to anger Fang Jun and make him and Changsun Wuji angry.
It's best to have a head-to-head fight and reap the benefits.
Lu Yanqing said solemnly: "I have a student who is a descendant of the Duan family in Qingzhou. His wife's brother is serving in the Qingzhou Navy. After this incident happened, my student knew about my relationship with your house, so he came to tell me. I absolutely refused.
There will be days off.”
Fang Jun nodded in recognition.
In these days, "once a teacher is always a father", since he is a student, there is absolutely no reason to deceive the teacher, and he has no motive to do so.
If the entire "assassination case" was directed and performed by Chang Sun Wuji and his son, then Chang Sun Chong must have been at large at this moment, hiding, unscathed, and happy.
But it made us lose all hope of entering the military aircraft office. Fang Jun felt that this was absolutely intolerable!
In the vast sea of people, it would be impossible to dig out Changsun Chong, but Changsun's family is there, and the monk can escape but not the temple. If he continues to let Changsun and his son succeed in their treacherous plan and secretly rejoice, won't he die of grief?
Thoughts flashed through his mind, but there was a look of gratitude on his face: "Thank you uncle for telling me, otherwise this junior would have been kept in the dark. Although Zhao Guogong made a big fuss before, this junior did not give in, but in the end I feel quite sad.
I feel guilty. If it weren’t for the younger generation, perhaps Changsun Chong would not have been assassinated. Now that I know there is a hidden secret in this matter, I will naturally seek justice from Duke Zhao later!"
If the tiger doesn't show its power, they will think that their stick is made of clay!
Lu Yanqing was quite worried and said quickly: "Er Lang, please don't be impulsive. You should discuss it with your father. The reason why I told this matter is because I want to see what Er Lang wants to say. There are ups and downs in the officialdom.
It’s nothing. A moment of pride is more like a cloud of smoke. If you can be proud all the way to the end, then you are truly proud. Therefore, everything should be handled with caution."
These words were sincere. Whether Lu Yanqing really thought so or wanted to express his attitude and make good friends with the Fang family, the Fang family must accept this favor.
Fang Jun stood up and left his seat, bowed his head to the ground and thanked me: "My uncle's teachings, I will keep them in my heart."
Lu Yanqing stroked his beard and smiled, very happy: "I am old and about to die, so why should I teach or not teach? Young people know how to make progress and know how to measure. Naturally, we old guys will look happy, and the future generations will be scary!"
