Chapter 155 Fang Jingyu’s diligence, Wang Shiyu asks for help

 Chapter 155: Fang Jingyu’s diligence, Wang Shiyu asks for help

"What, what's wrong?"

Mrs. Li's delicate body trembled and she said worriedly.

She thought to herself, that girl won’t break into Fang Yuan’s ninth-floor star observation tower again, right?

"She often secretly goes to the nine-story Star Observation Tower."

"The nine-story Star Observation Tower is full of dangers and has many agencies. If you are not careful, the consequences will be unpredictable."

Fang Yuan walked towards Mrs. Li.

He found that Mrs. Li's skin was really good.

I just took a shower and looked like a hibiscus.

With her figure and temperament, she is truly a woman among men.

"This girl actually often goes there secretly!"

"Don't worry, Governor Fang, I will definitely teach her a lesson!"

Mrs. Li was so angry that she stamped her feet.

I just taught Li Danqiu a lesson last time and told her not to go again.

Now Fang Yuan came to tell him that she went there often.

Good guy, you don’t take your mother’s words to heart at all.

"Maybe I'm too busy."

"Why don't you leave her and Li Siwen to me? I want them to give special training to the state officials and the security team."

Fang Yuan stopped and looked at Mrs. Li with a somewhat uncomfortable expression.

Mrs. Li's clothes were thin, and Fang Yuan couldn't take his eyes away from stamping his feet like this.

Li Ji really married a good woman, charming and beautiful.

"Okay, Governor Fang just sends them two!"

Mrs. Li didn't notice the change in Fang Yuan's expression and nodded heavily.

The two children are not young yet, but they are still so childish.

How come you don’t know how to restrain yourself when you live in other people’s homes and eat in other people’s homes?

If something unpleasant happens, how can I explain it to Fang Yuan? I’m really ignorant.

Fang Yuan nodded and was about to speak.

But at this moment, Li Danqiu's voice sounded.

"Mother~"

Li Danqiu's voice sounded from outside the courtyard.

After a while, Li Danqiu and Li Siwen appeared.

As soon as she saw Fang Yuan there, she suddenly looked a little flustered.

"You still know how to come back?!"

"Come here!"

Mrs. Li's face suddenly sank.

Li Danqiu was startled, froze in place, and wanted to retreat.

Li Siwen was also startled and also froze in place.

"Come here!"

"Don't let mother say it a second time!"

Mrs. Li said with a straight face.

Li Danqiu's face suddenly changed, and he walked towards Mrs. Li with a smile.

When Li Siwen didn't call him, he slowly backed away, and when he returned to the entrance of the yard, he ran away with a hiss.

"Didn't I warn you?"

"Why did you sneak into Governor Fang's nine-story star observation tower?!"

Mrs. Li cursed.

When Li Danqiu walked up to her, he pulled Li Danqiu to her side, held her between her waist, and waited on her with slap after slap.

"Mother, I was wrong, I was wrong, I never dare to do it again."

Li Danqiu screamed in pain and shouted that I was wrong.

She was imprisoned, facing Fang Yuan, looking at Fang Yuan with grievance and embarrassment.

Fang Yuan must have complained, otherwise Fang Yuan would not have appeared here, and his mother would not have known about it.

Damn Fang Yuan, can't you just talk to yourself if you have something to do? You have to file a complaint.

"What's the use of saying you're wrong every day if you don't correct it?"

"You stay in Liaozhou and follow Fang Yuan these days, and you will listen to him in everything."

"If he tells you to go west, you can't go east. If he tells you to go east, you can't go west. If you let me know that you don't listen to Fang Yuan, I will beat you hard when you turn around!"

Mrs. Li pushed Li Danqiu out.

It’s considered punishment, and if it continues to be punished, it will look ugly.

After all, Fang Yuan is here, and it would not be good if he continues to punish him like this and make Fang Yuan laugh.

"Mom, I don't want it."

Li Danqiu was so aggrieved that he wanted to ask for mercy.

If you stay in Liaozhou and follow Fang Yuan these days, how can you break into the nine-story star observation tower?

"How dare you not listen?!"

Mrs. Li immediately became angry and stared at Li Danqiu.

"No, no, I listen, I listen."

Li Danqiu saw that his mother was really angry and did not dare to refute.

"Prefect Fang, I made you laugh."

Mrs. Li restrained her temper and looked at Fang Yuandao in embarrassment.

She is really worried about Li Danqiu, this daughter is so rebellious.

My son Siwen is very obedient and will correct most things once I tell him, but my daughter will not.

I can really piss her off to death, it’s so embarrassing.

"It doesn't matter."

"Li Danqiu, you can help me train the security team from today on."

Fang Yuan shook his head and chuckled.

"Oh."

Li Danqiu pouted.

I didn’t refuse, but I felt a little aggrieved.

"If your brother is free, by the way, he can help train state officials."

Fang Yuan continued.

Both Li Danqiu and his brother came from the military.

If the two of them can help train state officials and the security team, they should make great progress.

"Yeah."

Li Danqiu still looks aggrieved.

When Fang Yuan saw this, he just smiled slightly and said goodbye to Madam Li.

As soon as they left, Mrs. Li got angry again and told Li Siwen to come back and receive education.

That night, the courtyard where Mrs. Li and the three of them lived could hear the sound of Mrs. Li scolding her children.

Early the next morning.

When Fang Yuan finished breakfast and was preparing to leave for the Governor's Mansion, Li Danqiu and his brother also followed.

Generally speaking, everyone eats breakfast together in Fang Mansion, so Mrs. Li and the other three are also there.

"Prefect Fang, we will help you train state officials and security guards from today on."

Li Danqiu still looks aggrieved.

But she didn't dare to have any objections because Mrs. Li was staring at her.

"Well, okay, let's go together."

Fang Yuan nodded with satisfaction and took the two of them away.

As soon as he walked out of the dining area, Li Danqiu changed his appearance.

"Fang Yuan, I was joking with you just now. Did you not take it seriously?"

Li Danqiu approached Fang Yuan with a smile on his face, bumped his shoulder against Fang Yuan, and said very intimately.

"Guess."

Fang Yuan smiled lightly and did not get close to her.

"Hey, Fang Yuan, I don't know how to train people."

Li Danqiu was so angry that he stamped his feet and quickly followed Fang Yuan.

Looking at Fang Yuan's look, you can tell that Fang Yuan is serious.

But she really doesn’t want to train people, she just wants the nine-story star observation tower.

"How your father trains the army in the army, you train them the same way."

"If you train them for a period of time and they don't get any stronger, your family of three will move out of Fang Mansion and live somewhere else."

Fang Yuanyuan didn't reply.

"Hey, how can you be so stingy?"

"You are obviously the governor, can you be more generous?"

Li Danqiu immediately became anxious.

If you move out, doesn’t that mean you’re kicked out?

If my mother knew, she would probably beat herself to death.

And if word gets out in the future, dad will be embarrassed.

Li Siwen was also anxious and quickly caught up with Fang Yuan.

"If I weren't generous, I would kick you out just because you broke into my nine-story stargazing tower over and over again."

Fang Yuan snorted coldly.

"I, I, I can't control myself."

"Fang Yuan, can you let me go up and take a look, just once."

Li Danqiu said with a smile.

Then he quickly approached Fang Yuan, holding Fang Yuan's hand and begging.

She hung on Fang Yuan like a koala, and rolled her eyes when she saw Li Siwen beside him.

"If you train the security team and state officials to my satisfaction, I will give you a chance."

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and said.

"Really?"

Li Danqiu's eyes suddenly lit up with excitement.

She held Fang Yuan's hand tightly, pressed against Fang Yuan's body and looked at Fang Yuan.

"Really, but you have to satisfy me!"

Fang Yuan shook her hand, but he couldn't shake it away.

Not only can't it be shaken off, but it is also clamped tightly and softly.

"Don't worry, we will definitely satisfy you!"

Li Danqiu suddenly changed his expression and said with high morale.

She didn't even ask Fang Yuan what he wanted to do to be satisfied, because she had enough confidence.

When he was in Li Ji's military camp, Li Danqiu liked to dance with swords and guns, and was also involved in soldier training.

Moreover, she also has a younger brother Li Siwen.

In this way, the two siblings started working for Fang Yuan without any wages.

One night, after dinner, Fang Yuan was drinking tea in the living room as usual.

Fang Jingyu also beat Fang Yuan's feet as always.

Hongxu has bought new clothes and shoes for Fang Jingyu, and she no longer wears adult clothes as she did that day.

Dressed up by Hongxu and Qinggao, Fang Jingyu is as cute as a little princess.

The scars on the face and neck are still there, just a little shallower.

The doctor said that the scar on the face should be healed, but the scar on the neck cannot be eliminated.

"Master, can I receive training with Sister Danqiu and the others?"

Fang Jingyu beat Fang Yuan's legs hard.

She was seven or eight years old and didn't have much strength, but she seemed to be trying her best at this moment.

Looking at her face that is all red and her breathing while speaking, you can tell that this girl is not very relaxed.

"Aren't you learning to read?"

Fang Yuan frowned and said.

He had heard from Hong Xu that Fang Jingyu was learning to read.

Hongxu and Qinggao happened to be free, so they taught her how to read and arithmetic.

"I, I think force can protect myself...and protect you."

Fang Jingyu said seriously.

"You are still young, learn how to read first, and then practice martial arts in two years."

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment, shook his head and said.

It should be due to experience, so I feel that force is the way to protect myself.

Although it is true, Fang Jingyu's foundation is not good, and he is exhausted even after hammering his legs. It will take at least a year or two to cultivate himself.

"I won't miss reading!"

"I will train with Sister Danqiu during the day and learn to read at night. I will not fall behind!"

Fang Jingyu’s small face is serious.

His eyes were full of longing and begging, and looked dazzling in the dim candlelight.

"It's up to you."

"You don't have to beat my legs anymore."

When Fang Yuan saw her insistence, he followed her.

He felt that Fang Jingyu could not last long after training so hard.

From the feedback received by Zheng Jiu and others in the past few days, we learned that Li Danqiu and Li Siwen trained them very hard and exhausted them every time.

Adult men are like this, let alone a little girl. After a few days, she will quit when she knows she is tired.

"No, I'm going to beat your legs!"

Fang Jingyu insisted.

She feels that if you don’t pay, you are not qualified to get it.

If you can stay in Fang Mansion, you can't do nothing, otherwise you may be kicked out.

"Go and rest. Get up early tomorrow to train with them."

Fang Yuan retracted his legs and waved his hands.

"Okay."

"Goodbye, master. Goodbye, two sisters."

Fang Jingyu obediently stood up, saluted Fang Yuan, then saluted Hongxu and Qinggao before leaving.

Her small figure quickly disappeared from the sight of the three people.

"Sir, this girl Jingyu has average academic talent, but she works hard."

"When we teach her Chinese characters, she has to ask them several times before she can really remember them, but she can remember them every time when she is tested the next day."

"I have always been curious until I woke up early in the morning and saw her with the door open and writing seriously at the door. Her hands and feet were all red from the cold."

Qinggao said softly.

Looking at the direction Fang Jingyu left, she sighed.

After saying this, Hong Xu stopped making tea and looked at Fang Yuan with a little expectation.

"Why at the door?"

Fang Yuan frowned slightly.

Subconsciously, I felt that Fang Jingyu was trying to attract Qinggao’s attention.

"Really, I said that the master would also ask this question, you lost Qinggao!"

Hongxu snorted and smiled.

"I also asked her at that time, and she said she didn't dare to light a lamp because she could see clearly under the moonlight at the door."

Qingyao rolled her eyes at Hongxu, and then spoke to Fang Yuan seriously.

"We're not mean to her, are we?"

When Fang Yuan heard this, he straightened his body and said in surprise.

Although it is no longer cold this season, it is still very cold at night.

Summer is okay, but it’s still spring, and it’s easy to get cold if you practice calligraphy like this at night.

"At the time, I thought someone was being mean to her, but after thinking about it, it wasn't right."

"Our sister manages the Fang Mansion, and she also lives in our sister's yard."

"I asked her, and she said, thanks to the master, you rescued her from hell and adopted her in Fang Mansion. She can't help you yet, so she can do whatever she can. She can't let you be resentful towards her for fear that you will drive her away.

."

Qinggao sighed.

She and Hongxu were also taken in by Fang Yuan.

Although it could help Fang Yuan a lot at that time.

But there is no one as sensible and humble as Fang Jingyu.

"This girl..."

Fang Yuan suddenly felt pity.

He knew that Fang Jingyu had been taking the initiative to beat his legs just because he wanted to give a little bit.

But I never thought that something like this could happen. It seems that I had many impressive experiences when I was a beggar.

"I told her that if she wants to study, she can just light up the lamp in the room and study."

"She lowered her head and didn't speak. Later I accidentally discovered that she was still studying at the door."

"Look, do you want to talk to her in person?"

Qingyao looked at Fang Yuan and said.

She saw that Fang Jingyu wanted to follow the physical training tonight, and she was worried that her body would not be able to bear it, so she informed Fang Yuan.

"No, just let her go."

"Sometimes, suffering is the medicine for progress."

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment, then finally shook his head and said.

He has experienced suffering and knows that it is not easy.

The more you know about suffering, the more motivated you will be to rise up.

Someone like Fang Jingyu is pretty good, and he will at least be a talented person in the future.

"Okay then."

Qinggao nodded and said nothing more.

In the next few days, Fang Jingyu trained with Li Danqiu during the day and read with Hongxu and the others at night.

Almost every day you can see her so tired that she waddles when walking.

Fang Yuan thought that Fang Jingyu wouldn't be able to persist for a few days, but he didn't expect that he never gave up until the end of the month. Fang Yuan admired her very much.

At the end of the month, Du Miaoyan arrived and said he would return to Chang'an City tomorrow.

"These are gifts."

"One belongs to Princess Xiangcheng and the other belongs to Prime Minister Du. Please pass it on to me and say a few kind words."

Fang Yuan asked people to carry out the gifts. There were two small boxes, both of which were precious things.

"My father also has one?"

Du Miaoyan asked curiously.

Princess Xiangcheng has gifts for her wedding.

But why did my father suddenly get a gift?

"Thank your father for me, thank him for taking action many times."

Fang Yuan said solemnly.

I didn’t know why Du Ruhui helped him before.

But from Du Miaoyan's mouth, Fang Yuan already knew the reason, so he was naturally grateful.

Du Miaoyan happens to be going back, so let her bring a gift back so that it won't appear out of the blue.

"Understood."

"I have told the Royal Commercial Bank that they will listen to you during my absence."

"If Duhe and the others have a letter or message sent to the Royal Commercial House, they will bring it to you."

Du Miaoyan said solemnly.

She temporarily handed over the Royal Trading Company to Fang Yuan to take charge.

I was worried that there would be news coming from Du He and I wouldn't be here.

"Don't worry."

Fang Yuan nodded solemnly.

He is also paying attention to the Yellow River dam issue.

Liao Fengmao sent another letter back two days ago.

He said that he was following the clues and would have the results soon.

"Okay, then I'll go back first."

Du Miaoyan nodded.

She has to go back early tomorrow and needs to rest early tonight.

"I'll give it to you."

Fang Yuan sent her out to the door.

There was Du Miaoyan's carriage at the door, and she left quickly.

The next day, the first day of March in the third year of Zhenguan, Fang Yuan ordered all counties to start spring plowing.

Following the previous announcement to various factories, the living members of each family are now able to return home and farm the fields.

At the same time, as spring plowing begins, two communities in Liaozhou have officially begun development.

Foreign aristocratic families and local aristocratic families each develop one site, and the addresses of both communities are in Nancheng District.

At this time, the cement road in the county farthest from Liaozhou City was officially opened, and more people traveled to and from Pingcheng County.

During the spring plowing and community development, Fang Yuan founded a liquor factory, a toilet factory, a soft bed factory, a pig factory, etc.

But they are not in a hurry to recruit people. Instead, they announce that whoever performs well in spring plowing will get extra points when applying for these factories.

As a result, the spring plowing in one city and three counties in Liaozhou is in full swing, which is more active than any other moment in Liaozhou's history.

For several days, Liaozhou has been developing rapidly.

On this day, Fang Yuan was working in the Governor's Mansion, and soldiers from the Royal Commercial Bank came to report urgently.

"Prefect Fang, the groom of Miss Wang Shiyu went to the Royal Merchant Company to ask for help. He said that Miss Wang Shiyu was captured by bandits in Leping County. Should we go to rescue her?"

Reported by Nie Jiazhong, team leader of Royal Commercial Bank.

Wang Shiyu wanted to ask Du Miaoyan for help, but Du Miaoyan was not there and handed over the command to Fang Yuan.

Nie Jiazhong was not sure whether to save him or not, so he came to ask Fang Yuan for his opinion.

"Prefect Fang, please save my young lady."

The middle-aged coachman on the side knelt directly on the ground, with some blood stains on his body, and his face was very pale.

"If something happened in Leping County, go to Liaozhou City to ask for help?"

Fang Yuan did not make an immediate decision, but asked in question.

Leping County is not under the jurisdiction of Liaozhou, and Wang Shiyu's accident there is not under the jurisdiction of Liaozhou.

Moreover, if something happened in Leping County, instead of going to Leping County for help, you would go all the way to Liaozhou City to ask for help. Are you stupid?

"Those bandits are extraordinary. I feel that the Leping County Government cannot rescue them."

"The journey from Leping County back to Taiyuan Prefecture is much longer than the journey to Liaozhou City."

"President Fang, please save my young lady. If it's too late, she may be in danger."

The groom hurriedly kowtowed and explained.
