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

After seeing Mrs. Bai off, Qian Fengping was about to turn around and go back when she saw the Fang Yin brothers coming back.

The second brother rode a tall horse and wore iron armor, looking very majestic.

Fang Tong sat on the oxcart, his trouser legs and clothes covered in mud. He had obviously been working in the fields, and his handsome face had become even darker.

The horse-drawn carriage at home was given to my daughter and wife, and this ox-drawn cart belonged to the Sinong Temple, so it would give him a ride.

Comparing the two, Qian Fengping sighed silently in her heart, and suddenly felt that her daughter was right. Both men and women should take good care of themselves.

"Wife, did you come here specially to pick me up?" Fang Tong didn't know that his wife was disliking him in her heart, and she was grinning at her with her teeth bared.

"Well, no."

Qian Fengping took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his face.

"Let's go in and talk. There's something good going on."

When they arrived at the main hall, Qian Fengping told Fang Yin that the marriage had been settled and that she would go to General Meng's mansion in three days. Fang Yin actually blushed.

He is finally going to get married.

Qian Fengping found it funny, but after they calmed down, she continued to talk about Mrs. Wen.

She didn't mean to complain. She was just thinking that since her husband and second brother were both involved in officialdom, they might have offended someone in the Wen Mansion during court. That's why Madam Wen did this.

I want the two brothers to be on guard against the people in the Wen Mansion and not let them get tricked.

Finally, the two brothers looked at each other.

Fang Yin scratched his head.

"I don't quite remember the official named Wen."

He felt a little guilty.

He has become much smarter. The first time he attended court, he basically memorized the faces of the officials in the court. He shouldn't have forgotten any of them, right?

As for Fang Tong, he frowned and thought about it.

"We do have a clerk named Wen in Sinong Temple. He's mainly responsible for managing books and data. He's the eldest in the family."

The eldest son of the Wen family currently holds an official position of the seventh rank, which is a higher position than Fang Tong, who is just a small rank official.

But he still did not have the qualifications to attend court. Only officials of the fifth rank and above could attend court. It was no wonder Fang Yin forgot.

"But I didn't offend him." In fact, Fang Tong had only met the other party once, and it was a chance encounter.

After going to the yamen every day, he went straight to the fields. Except for lunch, he rarely saw his colleagues.

"It's most likely him, but I haven't offended him before, so why is his wife acting like this?"

The three of them couldn't figure it out, so they simply stopped thinking about it.

Fang Tong decided to go and ask around tomorrow.

Since there was a happy event at home, the food had to be better in the evening. Fang Yin asked the kitchen to make beef hotpot.

That's right, beef! Fang Tong got it.

The Sinong Temple had oxen for plowing, among which there was an old ox, which was killed today. He shamelessly went to share the meat.

Don't underestimate the matter of dividing meat, it requires some attention.

Either you have a high official rank. You will get the beef without even asking. Or you have a high reputation. You are well-known throughout Sinong Temple, so people will keep you in mind.

Another type is good interpersonal relationships.

Fang Tong was like this. After he entered the government office, apart from working in the fields every day, he would build good relationships with some minor officials and clerks whenever he had time.

They don't have much power, but they always get some benefits.

Fang Tong is a very outgoing person. Besides, he is different now. His brother is a general, holding a high position of power. He is also very easy to talk to, so everyone is willing to have a relationship with him.

Isn’t this how the relationship comes into play?

Take Lord Wen for example. He is neither high nor low, and has nothing to do with anything. He can't get any share of the market.

Fang Nanzhi came out of the palace with a great harvest and went home to eat a hot beef hotpot.

One pot was filled with a milky white soup made from bone broth, while the other pot was bright red with lots of chili peppers, which looked very appetizing.

The family sat around eating hot pot and chatting.

"Brother Yan will officially go to the Imperial College tomorrow. Dad will see you off."

While Fang Tong was talking, he picked up all the meat that his daughter had cooked with one chopstick.

Fang Nanzhi was so angry that he glared and gritted his teeth, waiting to snatch it back.

"No need, Dad, I'm already this old." Qin Yan didn't think there was a need for pick-up and drop-off.

He had already been to the Imperial College once and had memorized the route. He would go home after school every day.

"You don't understand. The student body at the Imperial College is complex, and on the first day of school, it's a time to compare fathers and families. If you go there alone, you'll appear weak and vulnerable, and people will think you're easy to bully."

Fang Tong analyzed it for him.

The more places like the Imperial College, where there are many children of noble families and aristocratic families, the more serious the suppression and struggle, and the stepping down of the powerful and praising the weak, will be.

With our own abilities, we don't need to be the strongest among them, but at least we can't be bullied.

"Then I'll go." Fang Yin picked up a full bowl of meat, dipped it in the sauce, and finished it in a few bites. He then ordered two more plates of meat.

"Brother, your official position is too low and not enough."

Fang Yin puffed out his chest with some pride. Now he was the pillar of the family.

Fang Tong was speechless: "Okay, no more talking."

My second brother has learned to speak in a way that hurts the heart.

Finally it was decided that Fang Yin would send Qin Yan off.

Late at night, when everyone was asleep, Fang Tong finished washing up and lay on his back on the bed. Qian Fengping was half-kneeling beside him, holding a bottle of medicine in her hand and applying it to his face.

"Don't move it, or you won't be able to spread it evenly."

She is coquettish.

This is what she and her daughter asked for. They said it can whiten and reduce wrinkles. This ointment is not cheap, so don't waste it.

Fang Tong said "oh" honestly.

"Wife, I'm sorry for making you suffer today."

If I hadn't been arranging a marriage for my second brother, I wouldn't have come to visit Mrs. Wen, and instead I would have been so angry.

"Look at what you said. Aren't we a family?"

Qian Fengping glared at him.

Fang Tong just chuckled foolishly.

After applying the ointment, Qian Fengping washed her hands and went to bed, but soon felt sleepy.

Fang Tong turned sideways and looked at his wife in the moonlight.

He is so lucky. He was forced into a desperate situation in the Fang family, and he just happened to marry into any family and meet such a good wife.

But, does his wife dislike his dark skin? She even said that this ointment is for sunburn. Humph, he is not easy to fool.

This is because I feel that he is not as handsome as before.

Alas, how old is he, and he looks old and ugly? I'd better wear a straw hat when I go to the fields tomorrow.

Thinking about all sorts of things, Fang Tong turned over and fell asleep.

Fang Nanzhi hasn't gone to bed yet. She is practicing acupuncture.

This is exactly what his master taught him.

This acupuncture method takes a long time and involves many acupoints. The time for acupuncture at each acupoint is different, so it requires the cooperation of two people.

She came out of the library today and went to the East Palace, but did not see Qingyan.

The palace maid said that the prince was on official business and was not in the East Palace.

But she didn't know why, she always had a bad feeling in her heart.

When it was bright outside, Fang Nanzhi took a carriage to Zhou's house to ask to see her master, and then went back to the palace to read in the afternoon.

Qin Yan and his second uncle had already arrived at the gate of the Imperial College.
