After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

Although he takes this into consideration, is Fang Tong the type of person who would act hypocritically for the sake of reputation?

Obviously not, this is completely different from Fang Jin.

So Fang Tong forced them to take care of Old Man Fang.

She, He, is so annoying! No, she, He, is so honest, right? Old Master Fang doesn't care about honest people like her.

She must be feeling very uncomfortable when she counts on her to take care of him every day and she doesn't know whether her eldest son, whom she has the highest hopes for, is alive or dead.

After realizing this, Mrs. He discussed with her two sons and decided to do something.

Because no matter how hard they try to serve Mr. Fang, he is so old and can only live another ten years at most.

By then, she and her two sons will still be young. What will happen if Wan Fangtong settles accounts with them?

He thought that it would be better to help Fang Tong and curry favor with him in disguise. She didn't ask for anything else, but just asked Fang Tong to forget the previous grudge.

In the end, the mother and her two sons decided to build up Fang Tong's reputation for filial piety in and outside the village.

As for the money shown as a token of filial piety, you can take it all from the money hidden by Grandpa Fang.

She didn't even ask Fang Tong for credit for this matter in advance, because she knew that the third brother was very powerful now.

What happens in the village will eventually reach his ears.

Fang Tong sneezed again. He really didn't know what He had done in the village and how smart she was.

The convoy had been traveling for twelve days, and Fang Nanzhi had already learned how to ride a horse. However, due to the hot weather and the sun, she was too lazy to go out for a ride.

The little girl and her mother hid in the carriage and ate cherries. Well, they bought them when they passed by a village.

"Mom, I always feel that the sun here in Beijing is different from that at home. It's a bit dry."

Qian Fengping thought about it and realized that it was true.

The last time she came to Beijing, she fell ill due to acclimatization. As soon as she recovered, she realized that her family might be under surveillance. She was restless and had no time to pay attention to these things. When everything was over, she was imprisoned again.

"Yeah, it's not as good as ours."

Fang Nanzhi nodded in agreement.

"We saw quite a few fields along the way, but most of them were dry fields and few were paddy fields."

"Yes, it's not as good as ours. We have more paddy fields."

Qian Fengping deeply agreed with this.

Fang Tong, the driver, couldn't help but interrupt: "Are you two missing home?"

The mother and daughter shook their heads, feeling that no place like home was better than their own.

"Don't talk about this. Bai Wuke said that the second brother's house has four entrances. Let's think about which room we should stay in when we get there."

Fang Tong changed the subject.

Qian Fengping suppressed a laugh: "Look at what you said, you even picked it. Of course, I will follow whatever Second Brother arranges."

"Wife, you're overthinking this. How can my second brother know all this? You'll have to take care of the things in this house."

Fang Tong understood his second brother. He was not stupid and could not handle these trivial and troublesome things.

"That's right. There's no hostess to take care of it. I'll go to the capital and find a wife for my second brother first." Qian Fengping pondered.

She inexplicably agreed with her daughter on this point. The older a man gets, the harder it is for him to get married.

"That's a matter of fact, but we have to hire servants first when we get to the capital." Fang Tong reminded: "For example, we need a coachman, a driver, two servants for our son, a maid for our daughter, and your maid. We have to hire them all."

It’s not that he dislikes the job of driving a coach. In fact, he is happy to drive a coach for his wife and daughter.

But when he arrived in the capital and lived in the general's mansion, he had to be particular about what he should pay attention to and enjoy what he should enjoy, otherwise he would be looked down upon.

Oh, your general went to court with his servant, and the deputy general went to court with his younger brother driving the carriage?

It makes him seem inferior to others. No, he is Fang Tong, but he is also an official and should be treated with some pomp and ceremony.

"Yes, yes, that's what we need to do. However, I heard from Bai Wu that the palace has given a group of people as rewards to our mansion."

Qian Fengping slapped his forehead and remembered.

"Those people..." Fang Tong hesitated, and finally said: "Our family also needs a few trusted subordinates."

Qian Fengping understood and agreed.

"drive!"

Bai Wu rode up from the front and said, "Master Fang, Madam Qian, let's go on to Xuzhou Prefecture. Then we can go into the city and rest for an hour. We can continue our journey in the afternoon and reach the capital by evening."

Fang Tong nodded: "Okay, go ask Mr. Zhou."

"Yes." Bai Wu bowed on his horse and went to the back.

Xuzhou Prefecture, the prefecture city is more lively than Huainan Prefecture.

The group found a restaurant to rest their horses and have something to eat.

Fang Nanzhi supported Mr. Zhou and glanced at the bustling lobby: "Master, do you want to go to the private room?"

"No, no, it's just a chance to get some popularity."

Old Doctor Zhou had been sitting in the carriage for a long time, his legs were numb, and his body was aching all over, but fortunately he was in good spirits.

Qin Yan heard it and immediately booked two tables.

They had one table and the guards had another table, and the guards had to take turns eating.

"Waiter, bring me three of your signature dishes and two seasonal vegetables. As for the rest, what else would you like to eat?"

Square copper arrangement.

"Let's have some soup, Matsutake chicken soup!" Fang Nanzhi spoke first.

"I see there are some cold dishes. We can add one more." Qin Yan also spoke.

"Order a fish. I remember that the fish in Shixuan this season are very fresh." Mr. Zhou added with a smile.

"Old man, you are a regular customer. We just got some fish today," the waiter complimented.

After ordering the dishes, Fang Nanzhi and Qin Yan diligently made tea and poured it for the elders at the table. Even Bai Wu got a cup, which made him flattered.

"Have you heard, Prince, that he is ill again?"

"More than that. My old illness has recurred over a dozen times in the past two months. This time, the Imperial Hospital directly declared me critically ill."

"Hey, that's Longzi, why is he in such poor health?"

"Is it because his blessings are too great and his frail body can't bear it? Putting that aside, if the Crown Prince really died, wouldn't the heir apparent have to be replaced?"

"Shhhhh! How dare you say such a thing in public?"

"Why can't I say it? The fighting among the princes is more brutal. Just wait, there will be a river of blood in the palace." The man was not afraid, and his voice was even louder, with a hint of gloating.

The others moved away from him and changed tables.

The man didn't care. He poured himself some wine and drank it. He drank three cups in a row and then left.

Fang Nanzhi watched with great interest.

Old Zhou frowned and said nothing.

Qin Yan called the waiter over and asked curiously, "Who was that young man just now?"

"Hey, sir, please don't embarrass me. Everyone who comes to eat is a guest. As for the guests' origins, we dare not ask them."

The waiter apologized repeatedly.

Qin Yan didn't quite believe it, but he didn't force him and let him go about his business.

There was a table of guests who started talking to me.

"Young Master, are you from out of town?"

"Yes, my surname is Qin, my given name is Yan, and I want to register at the Imperial College."

He had no intention of concealing his identity.

"Oh? Young master is so talented despite being so young." The man sighed and said.

"That was Wang's abandoned son before—Wang Qi."

This name is really...

No, Qin Yan remembered, he seemed to have really heard of this person.

The Wang family is a noble family, and the crown prince has always been the eldest son, so they will not be given the opportunity to fight.

But the head of the Wang family had a romantic affair. Twenty-three years ago, he got married once, but the couple encountered bandits and Mrs. Wang was captured.
