The general kneels on the washboard again

Chapter 112: Like a duck in water

When Fan Zhicheng saw Yue Niang, he hurriedly took out two account books from his pocket and said, "This is what you asked me to find. Today I said that I have reached an agreement with you and begged Fan Qude to propose marriage. Now I have a chance."

Qin Fengyang was very excited at this moment. He grabbed the account book and started to look through it.

"Thank you for your hard work these days." Yue Niang toasted Fan Zhicheng.

Fan Zhicheng also raised his teacup. "We each take what we need. From today on, my fate is no longer determined by Fan Qude. For years, he's been afraid I'd outshine his legitimate son, so he's restricted me in every way. Now, I finally have the capital to talk to him."

Qin Fengyang finished flipping through the account book and handed it to Yue Niang. Yue Niang read a few pages, looked at Fan Zhicheng, and suddenly asked, "Do you want to be the head of the Fan family?"

Fan Zhicheng was a little confused: "Huh?"

Yue Niang handed the account book to Fan Zhicheng: "Have you carefully read this account book?"

Fan Zhicheng shook his head: "I got the things and left immediately. I didn't look at them carefully."

Fan Zhicheng took the account book and began to read it carefully. The more he read, the more excited he became: "Is this serious?"

Yue Niang flipped through another one and said, "It's true. The list in this account book includes your nephew who is one month old, but your name and Aunt Guan's name are not on it."

Fan Zhicheng then shook his head again: "I don't want to do business, I just want to pass the imperial examination and revive my grandparents' fortune."

Yue Niang also agreed: "Then the most urgent thing now is to have Fan Qude divorce your mother and then expel you from the family tree. You should hold your ground for now."

"I was just thinking about this. If I take this account book directly to talk to Fan Qude, the result might be that my mother and I disappear from the world."

Yue Niang tapped the scroll of scriptures she carried with her and said, "Fan Qude's weakness."

Fan Zhicheng smiled knowingly.

Three days later.

Fan Qude brought Fan Zhicheng to propose marriage.

This time Yue Niang is finally here.

Fu Shiqing pointed and said, "Brother Fan, my daughter is really unruly and unworthy of your son."

Fan Qude's wife stepped forward and said, "Boss Fu, you should ask the children about this matter."

Fu Shiqing was embarrassed and said, "Since ancient times, marriage has always been decided by parents and matchmakers. There is nothing wrong with what I said."

The lady said sharply, "There's nothing wrong with that, but our families are well matched. If this were to harm a pair of lovers, it would be our fault. The current emperor values reason and affection the most."

Fu Shiqing was speechless and waved to Yue Niang: "You speak for yourself."

Yue Niang bowed first, then said, "I don't want to."

Now Fu Shiqing could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Then Fan Qude got angry: "You're lucky enough to have someone who wants you, but you're not willing to do it?"

Yue Niang looked at Fan Qude. The sight of him whipping someone was as vivid as ever before her. Yue Niang couldn't help but take a step back and said, "Sorry, Uncle Fan, I already have someone I like."

Fan Qude clenched his fist fiercely and slapped Fan Zhicheng in the face: "Useless thing, you can't even handle this kind of stuff."

After this slap, Fan Zhicheng simply stood up and said, "Father, I'm useless, but the master is still waiting at the mansion. Let's go back now."

The family of three left in a rage. Tian, who had been silent the whole time, looked ashen. She seemed to be very concerned about Yue Niang and said, "Marrying a girl to a family like this is just asking for her death, isn't it?"

She said this very nicely, and completely forgot about her desire to kill Yue Niang.

A highly prestigious monk came to Yongfu Temple in Lingzhou. He specialized in feng shui and numerology, and it was said that he also participated in the decoration of the imperial city.

Yongfu Temple has been very busy these past two days.

Tian racked her brains today and finally squeezed to the front, but she heard that the master had gone to survey someone else's house.

This other family is the Fan family.

At present, the master was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed in the Fan family's garden, his white beard and eyebrows dancing in the wind, looking like an immortal.

Fan Qude led dozens of people in his family to surround the master. Aunt Guan, who had been bedridden, was also forced out by Fan Qude and was now being supported by Fan Zhicheng.

"Master, my business has been going badly these past few days. Could you please tell me if there's something wrong with the furnishings in this courtyard?"

The master clasped his hands together and said, "Please be patient. I am checking."

After a long wait, the master opened his eyes and stood up: "Donor, who lives in this direction?"

That direction was Fan Zhigong's yard, and Fan Qude told the truth.

The master said, "The wealth and fortune of the mansion are all gathered in this direction. It is a very auspicious location, suitable for the head of the family and the heir to live in."

The master turned around, curled his lips, and pointed in another direction: "There is a yard full of weeds in this direction. The sick person in it is lying on the bed. The recent wealth of the mansion has been leaking out from this direction."

Fan Qude believed it without a doubt. He looked at Aunt Guan and then at the master: "Master, how do we crack this? I'll pay you whatever it takes."

The master shook his head and said, "Donor, you are my destined person. I didn't come here for worldly things, but because of fate. Therefore, I will not accept money."

This gesture further deepened Fan Qude's trust in him.

The master said confidently, "The owner in this direction is also from the Fan family. This sick energy will only make the Fan family's situation worse. She also has a son with bad luck."

Aunt Guan was usually gentle and delicate, but when she heard the master talking about her son, she became anxious: "You are a charlatan, master, he is talking nonsense."

Fan Qude slapped Aunt Guan and said, "Shut up! Do you have the right to speak here?"

After beating Aunt Guan, Fan Qude approached the master in a flattering manner and said, "Master, can you crack it?"

The master nodded and said, "Of course you can. It depends on whether you are willing to give it."

Fan Qude misunderstood: "If you are willing to spend, any amount of silver is fine."

The master shook his head, looking inscrutable. "No, no, I'm not talking about money, but blood relatives."

Fan Qude's face was fierce as he looked at Aunt Guan and Fan Zhicheng: "Are you going to beat them to death?"

The master hurriedly stopped him, "Amitabha, the donor's anger is too strong. My method of resolving this is to ask you to abandon the owner in this direction. If it is your wife, write a letter of divorce. If it is your child, remove him from the family tree. If he is calling for war and killing, his anger is too strong. This gap will never be filled."

This was indeed effective: "Just do as the master said. I will write a letter of divorce and then call the elders to remove me."

No one in the city gave Aunt Guan and Fan Zhicheng a chance to speak.

After the master finished speaking, he actually flipped onto the roof and disappeared in full view of everyone.

This scene stunned the Fan family and also made Fan Qude believe the master's words even more.

After hearing Lian Xing's report, Yue Niang just copied the scriptures more diligently. Although she had already thrown the holy grail in the temple before doing this, she still felt uncomfortable and had to copy more devoutly.

After settling Fan Zhicheng and his mother, Yue Niang handed the evidence to Li An, who delivered it on her behalf. Now all she had to do was wait patiently for news.

It was a sunny day and Fu Shiqing gathered his family together again, saying that he had something important to discuss.

When they arrived at the banquet, Fu Shiqing looked around and said, "Everyone is here. I'll tell you this: Yuanniang and the Third Prince's wedding is imminent, and preparations must begin tomorrow. Especially Fu Yueniang, you should be quiet. Once Yuanniang's wedding is over, our bet will expire. You can decide for yourself then."

Fu Shiqing looked at Yue Niang with a cold look in his eyes.

I wanted to use those gossips to make Yue Niang surrender on her own, but this girl refused to give in. She went out every day wearing a veil hat, which made me very angry.

Yue Niang didn't look up at him. Such a father was not worthy of her courtesy. She responded, "I know."

Fu Shiqing didn't dwell on this matter for long. After all, Fu Yuanniang's marriage was the top priority of the family now.

Jiang Yunxiao's injuries were getting better day by day, so Yue Niang went to the Duke's Mansion less frequently.

Fu Shiqing went to Chuzhou to purchase a batch of wedding supplies, which gave Tian another opportunity to have an affair.

She was like a fish in water, "examining" opera with the actor every day. Now she was so bold that she even performed it in Mudan Residence. When the secret guard under Yue Niang came to tell Yue Niang, the smile on her face deepened.

He said: "Fu Shiqing was once frightened by snakes and insects in Nanshan Village, and he would check the house every day before going to bed."

The secret guard said, "What does the master mean?"

"They just tossed some of their love items into Fu Shiqing's Zidong Pavilion."

The secret guard suddenly understood and said, "Yes, Master."

Tian's temperament was so impatient and short-sighted that she would only do things when she felt happy in the moment. Fu Shiqing also ignored the affairs of the backyard. Since he became one of the four richest men, his business empire has become larger and larger.

They are indeed a perfect match.
