Chapter 215: Persuading to Retreat
After Fang Xuanling got off duty, she returned home with a gloomy face.
As soon as he entered the main hall, he saw the whole family there.
The second son, who had been hiding in Lishan Village for many days, also came back. He was sitting on a chair with his legs tied with layers of gauze on a low stool in front of him. His eldest daughter-in-law, Du Shi, was sitting on his chair. Beside, use a small hammer to crack the walnut shell, pick out the walnut kernels inside, and place them on the plate in front of Fang Jun.
Fang Jun is like a puppy waiting to be fed. If Du Shi peels one, he will eat one...
Mrs. Lu had a sunny look on her face and kept asking how her injury was. The eldest brother, Fang Yizhi, was holding a book and taking a sip of tea from time to time.
The family is harmonious, the mother is kind and the son is filial, the brothers are respectful, the scene is warm...
It's a very touching picture of family relationships in the world.
But Fang Xuanling felt unhappy.
I am exhausted from working outside. I don’t know how much work I do and how much idleness I suffer in a day. It’s better for you to enjoy the popular food and drink spicy food...
When Mrs. Du raised her eyes and saw Fang Xuanling coming in, she quickly stood up, bowed and saluted: "Dad."
Fang Yizhi also stood up and shouted, sat down and continued reading...
Fang Xuanling's face was as dark as coal. She said "hmm" from her nose, and then reprimanded Mrs. Du: "I'm not talking about you. You are also a sister-in-law after all. Your elder sister-in-law is like your mother. How can you serve your brother-in-law like a servant? No." What a joke!”
"Oh!"
Du Shi quietly stuck out her tongue and was taught a lesson by her father-in-law, but she was not very afraid.
In other families, all the daughters-in-law want to run away from their father-in-law when they see them, but this family is not the only one. Even though Fang Xuanling is so powerful in the court, and is bullied by his old wife inside, she really has no status...
Sure enough, Mrs. Lu lowered her face, rolled her eyes at her husband, and said teasingly: "Oh, who was angry with someone outside, and came home to take out his anger on his wife?"
Fang Xuanling was furious all of a sudden. If he was angry outside, he wouldn't look good when he went home?
Do you really think that my Fang Xuanling is made of clay and paper?
Fang Xuanling endured it, endured it...
Sitting down angrily, Du Shi was very obedient and quickly made a pot of tea and brought it over.
"Daddy drinks tea."
"Yeah."
Fang Xuanling finally took the tea cup, her face was still ugly, but she couldn't always talk about her daughter-in-law, so she glared at Fang Yizhi and said: "Your own daughter-in-law was ordered by your brother to act like a maid, so you just Don’t care?”
Mrs. Du returned to Fang Yizhi and sat down next to her, lowering her head and saying nothing.
Fang Yizhi then put down his book and looked at his furious father with some doubts, then at his wife, then at Fang Jun, and said doubtfully: "She is willing to serve, so why not serve her? She is the sister-in-law, the second child. It doesn’t matter if he’s just her brother.”
The second child is generous and will cause trouble again. Now he is not only a marquis, but also an official of the third rank. He is happy to see his uncle and sister-in-law in harmony. Isn't it bad that we have to hate each other and make the family turbulent?
Dad is a little confused...
Fang Xuanling almost fainted with anger. The boss, who was usually the most obedient, dared to talk back to him. Are these two of them going to rebel?
Mrs. Lu saw that her old man was a little unusual today, so she came over and squeezed his shoulders, and asked with concern: "Why are you so angry?"
Fang Xuanling said in her heart that she was really angry because she was angry with His Majesty...
To joke about something like this is so unbecoming of a human being, it's too much!
The most outrageous thing is that he actually said in front of others that I didn’t even dare to ask when I got home?
Naked|naked slap in the face!
Although I really don’t dare to ask...
He can guarantee that if he really wants to die, what will be waiting for him will be months or even half a year in the study room...
Feeling sulky in her heart, Fang Xuanling subconsciously looked at Fang Jun. The more she looked, the more depressed she became.
You said that although our old man does not say that Yushu Lin is more handsome than Pan An, he is also fair-skinned, elegant and extraordinary. Why does this second son look so dark? Appearances are just fine, especially my temperament. My old man is calm, solid and determined, but this second man is frizzy, capricious and impulsive. The difference is too big...
Of course, it is neither dare nor possible to have the thought of doubting one's own wife. In short, it is very depressing, and the more I look at it, the more unpleasant it becomes.
Fang Jun was talking to his sister-in-law when he suddenly felt a chill on his body.
When he looked up, he saw his father staring at him with an extremely unkind expression...
Fang Jun shivered involuntarily and quickly thought about whether he had done anything unreliable recently to offend his father. After thinking about it, I didn't expect it.
But the look in his father's eyes was a bit scary. Fang Jun swallowed and asked cautiously: "Dad, do you have something to say to the child?"
Fang Xuanling was shocked and had just been in a trance.
He coughed twice awkwardly and said, "Is it okay to do spring plowing?"
Fang Jun asked himself to take in more than a thousand disaster victims and obtained a large area of land. He must pay attention to the spring plowing, otherwise things would go wrong and his livelihood would be affected for a year.
Regarding this matter, Fang Jun was full of confidence.
Speaking of farming, look at the entire Tang Dynasty and love everyone!
"Father, don't worry. In just three to five days, rice and spring wheat can be cultivated. Grain seeds, farm tools, cattle, and manpower have been arranged. Everything is under control!"
Fang Jun is full of confidence, but Fang Xuanling is unhappy again...
The most annoying thing is this posture of being as steady as a mountain and commanding with determination!
How come you, a young kid of 16 or 17, look more mature and steady than the boss who is ten years older than you?
Fang Xuanling looked hesitant: "Confidence is a good thing, but overconfidence is arrogance! When doing things, you should be modest, prudent, and careful, and you must not be reckless or arrogant, otherwise you will fall sooner or later!"
Fang Jun was a little dumbfounded, what is all this?
He finally understood that his father was not educating him, but looking for trouble...
He rolled his eyes and made up his mind to accept the situation.
"What my father taught me was."
Just say what you like...
Seeing Fang Xuanling's strange behavior today, Mrs. Lu asked worriedly: "Did your husband have something to do today?"
Fang Xuanling was stunned and shocked, feeling a little out of control!
When did Fang Xuanling come home to take out his anger on his wife and children?
He quickly said: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm just a little tired today..."
Fang Jun interjected: "Father, is he too stressed recently?"
Fang Xuanling nodded and sighed: "That's true. In the past, I had to stay up for three days and three nights to deal with government affairs, and I was always in high spirits. But recently... I always feel that everything is not satisfactory, my energy is not as good as before, and I am getting more and more tired. …”
This is the main reason why he always loses his temper for no reason today.
Since the beginning of spring, not a drop of rain has fallen in Guanzhong, and the water levels of major rivers such as the Wei River and the Jing River have dropped. The Taishi Bureau's prediction has come true.
The plan for a year lies in spring. If spring plowing is missed, the harvest of the year will be affected.
If there is no food harvest in the autumn, I don’t know how many people will go hungry!
As a servant of the minister, the de facto prime minister, how could he not be worried and sleepless at night?
As for His Majesty Li Er's joking remarks, they made him unhappy, but they did not make him angry and confused his mind.
The atmosphere in the main hall fell silent.
Ever since Fang Xuanling came to be the administrator of the Qin Palace, he has never been so depressed and sighing like this!
Fang Jun thought for a while and tentatively said: "Why don't you...father resign?"
You can hear a needle drop in the main hall.
Mrs. Lu raised her eyebrows and scolded: "You bastard, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Even Fang Yizhi, who had been silent all this time, was displeased and said: "My father holds an important position and is His Majesty's right-hand man. He has a high and powerful position. How can I just resign? Never say this again!"
Fang Jun curled his lips disapprovingly: "After all, isn't it just that I can't bear to give up the power in my hands and the position of ruling the world? But in the final analysis, there has to be that day? Rather than wait until the lingering bed, oil and gas When the light is gone, I have to let it go. Why not take the initiative to get rid of this mountain of government affairs while I can move now, and live a long life and enjoy a peaceful family? ”
The guy got more and more enthusiastic as he talked, and encouraged: "My father is very talented in literature, but he has been involved in government affairs these years, and he has never had time to relax and engage in learning. If he really resigns from the official position, he will go to his son's school to be a private tutor and teach a few students." Students, you can write books and learn in your spare time. How about your son publishing them and distributing them all over the world?”
Fang Yizhi said angrily: "Why are you talking nonsense? I don't know how many people want to get the position of prime minister and assistant, but they can't get it. How can you encourage your father to resign? This is very inappropriate!"
I simply don’t know what this guy is thinking, it’s unreasonable...
Mrs. Du looked at her father-in-law's face, then at her mother-in-law's expression, then reached out and quietly poked her husband-in-law.
Fang Yizhi was at a loss... Although he was a little embarrassed, he still had to ask for a monthly ticket! /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~
