Chapter 655: Family harmony and everything is prosperous
In this age where imperial power is supreme, how can we fight for it?
Since there is nothing to argue with, it is better to recognize the reality and make good friends. Relying on the previous reasons, Wu Meiniang can be regarded as Princess Gaoyang's person. It was Princess Gaoyang who wanted to test whether Fang Jun was a "rabbit", so Wu Meiniang had the opportunity to enter Fang Jun's house and become Fang Jun's pillow.
This layer of reason can naturally bring the relationship between the two closer.
As expected, Princess Gaoyang took the tea cup offered by Wu Meiniang with a smile, took a sip, and then handed it to Xiuyu beside her. She smiled and said to Wu Meiniang: "That's why you and I should be of the same mind. It’s about serving your husband together.”
Princess Gaoyang has an arrogant personality. This is a natural princess disease, but she is not without any sense...
Based on Fang Jun's current status and the height he can reach in the future, it is conceivable that there must be many women who are thrust into the backyard of Fang's mansion for various reasons. Instead of wooing women sent by various forces in the future, why not woo Wu Meiniang?
This woman who can take charge of almost all of Fang Jun's family property is not just a concubine! Princess Gaoyang is self-aware. If she is asked to manage such a huge business, she will definitely be confused and overwhelmed, and she will not be able to do it at all.
As a princess and a royal wife, she doesn't have to compete with Wu Meiniang for anything. Since there is no conflict of interest, it would be wise to form an alliance to deal with outsiders who do not exist now.
How smart is Wu Meiniang? Princess Gao Yang just nudged it gently, and she understood immediately. He immediately smiled and said: "In this life, a woman should serve her man well. All I have to do is obey His Highness's orders."
Everyone is understanding, and with a few words, the offensive and defensive alliance was determined.
With the status of Princess Gaoyang and the resources under Wu Meiniang's control, no matter whose girl wants to enter Fang Jun's back house in the future, I am afraid she will not have a good life...
There is no corresponding conflict, but they have similar goals and some specific origins. This wife and concubine are naturally in harmony with each other.
When Fang Jun walked out of the back hall, he was a little stunned when he saw the two women having a harmonious relationship and talking happily.
In his opinion, Princess Gaoyang, a dead girl, has a typical princess disease. When she becomes arrogant, she would like others to strangle her to death; but what about Wu Meiniang? This bitch is a typical representative of cruelty and evil. After two years of training, she has hundreds of millions of wealth in her hands. Thousands of businessmen want to look up to her, and her aura has become even more powerful.
It is said that people of the same sex repel each other. How could two women with almost the same attributes behave so harmoniously?
But he is too lazy to care about women's affairs. In his opinion, women also have their own thoughts. As long as they don't cause chaos in the family, then let them go...
He took Princess Gao Yang to the front yard to meet Fang Xuanling and his wife.
The new daughter-in-law has to serve tea to her parents-in-law...
In the main hall of the front yard, all the Fang family members were gathered together.
Fang Xuanling and his wife took the main seat in the middle, with the eldest son Fang Yizhi and his wife Du Shi on the left, followed by the third son Fang Yize and the youngest son Fang Yiyi who was held by the wet nurse. On the right side are the son-in-law Han Wang Li Yuanjia, the princess Fangshi, and the youngest daughter Fang Xiuzhu.
Fang Jun and Princess Gao Yang came to the hall. The maid offered tea. Princess Gao Yang took it and stepped forward to Fang Xuanling and his wife. She knelt down and said respectfully: "Invite father and mother to tea."
In the past, when a princess got married and served tea to her parents, she did not need to kneel down. However, His Majesty Li Er believes that although the princess is a wealthy woman, since she is married as a woman, she should be filial to her parents and support her elders with the courtesy of descendants. This is the way of human ethics.
Fang Xuanling's face was full of joy, she took the tea cup with both hands and took a sip.
Fang Xuanling was extremely satisfied with this daughter-in-law. Princess Gaoyang was someone he had grown up with. She was "gentle and virtuous", "well-informed and reasonable", and had a very good temperament. Moreover, Princess Gaoyang was favored by His Majesty Li Er and had a close relationship with Prince Li Chengqian. With such a marriage, it was hard to Bao Fang's family will be rich and prosperous for three generations, and the whole family will be safe.
But if he could also travel to later generations and know that the Fang family had been in trouble for eight lifetimes because of this "gentle and virtuous" princess, not only would Hongxing go out of his way to give his son a "fame that would be passed down through the ages" The cuckold even caused the Fang family to be ruined and almost everyone was killed. I don’t know how to feel...
Mrs. Lu's face was full of kindness, and she stretched out her hand to pull Princess Gaoyang up. She looked up and down, and the more she looked at her, the more she liked her. After drinking the tea, he took Princess Gaoyang to sit next to him, greeting her and caring for her, fearing that the bride would feel any discomfort when she came in and would wrong her daughter-in-law.
He took out a pair of green bracelets from his arms, took Princess Gaoyang's delicate white hands, and put them on her wrists. The bracelet is green and transparent, and the bright wrist beats the frost and snow, complementing each other and making it beautiful.
Princess Gaoyang said happily: "Thank you, mother." This is a meeting gift and cannot be refused.
Mrs. Du on the side looked at her with envy, but not even the slightest hint of jealousy. Although when she entered the door, the greeting gift that Lu gave out was not as valuable as this. One is that his status cannot be compared with Princess Gaoyang. It would be obviously rude for Lu to give her a meeting gift similar to that given to her back then. Furthermore, today's Fangfu is not comparable to the Fangfu at that time. The merchants who come from north to south are the most lavish in their dealings, and there are quite a few such treasures in the house.
The most important thing is that the reason why Fangfu is so prosperous now is not because of Fang Jun's future? In the past, although the old man Fang Xuanling was a prime minister, he was very poor in business management. Mrs. Du remembered that when she wanted to go back to her parents' home to celebrate her birthday, she couldn't come up with a decent gift. She remembers she burst into tears...
If you take out something casually now, who wouldn’t be envious and have their eyes rounded?
The most important thing is that with the marriage of a princess in the family, if the descendants of the Fang family want to become officials and find a good job in the future, isn't it just a matter of Princess Gaoyang's words? The current emperor is her father, and the future emperor will be her brother. With such a solid background, it is too late to win over her. How could Du be so foolish as to go against Princess Gaoyang over a trivial matter?
Fang Xuanling waved her hand to Fang Jun: "You can sit down too. We don't have those formal etiquettes in our family. It's not like you don't know."
Fang Jun responded and sat next to his younger sister Fang Xiuzhu.
King Li Yuanjia of Han Dynasty looked at his old father-in-law, who was obviously in a very good mood with his kind-hearted eyes. Then he looked at Fang Jun, who was looking happy at the wedding, and said boldly: "Erlang, you are now married and have a career. You will do well in the future." , but it’s better to be more cautious. In this officialdom, power is either one or the other, so you still need to win over some people to distinguish who is far away and who is close.”
Princess Fang knew Li Yuanjia best. When she heard this, she pursed her lips and suppressed a smile, and glanced at the pretentious Li Yuanjia. This is a reminder to Erlang, let him know that this brother-in-law is a family member, and he should not slap him in the face too hard in the future...
Fang couldn't help but laugh, fearing that her brother-in-law would be like this, and there weren't many in Chang'an.
But this is very comforting in my heart.
It is precisely because his natal brother is promising and has strong shoulders, and he also cares about his married sister, that he can become more and more dignified in Prince Han's palace. Those slaves who favored the good and suppressed the bad were respectful to me before, but now, who is not trembling in front of him, lest he offends himself, the princess, and Fang Erlang comes to settle the score?
Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and looked at Li Yuanjia. He was extremely satisfied with his son-in-law and thought that Fang Jun sometimes went too far. When a woman gets married, she must obey her husband and observe the three obediences and the four virtues. How can she act petty when she is unhappy? How unbecoming is it that my brother from my mother's side always comes to support my sister?
Then he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty's words are true. Erlang, you should be more calm in the future. Don't make noises when something happens and make people laugh. Your Majesty is your brother-in-law, just like your elder brother. You must respect him." Admiration and respect from brothers and sisters are the way to a prosperous family business. What does it look like to wave your fist and kick your child?"
The King of Han Li Yuanjia burst into tears and looked at Fang Xuanling with reverence.
He is indeed my good father-in-law, so reasonable...
Fang secretly pouted, her father was always so pedantic! The second brother is still kind to me, "helping his relatives but not taking care of himself", how domineering... (End of this chapter)
