Chapter 1045 Years Ago
Fang Xuanling has been very depressed recently.
Usually when the end of the year is approaching, there are countless officials, nobles, relatives and friends coming and going in the house. They all give some New Year's gifts to take the opportunity to get closer to the prime minister of the dynasty. This year's event is even more grand than in the past! The gate of the house was greeted with a flurry of carriages and horses. Rich merchants from Guanlong, aristocratic families from Shandong, nobles from Jiangnan, and even the Feng family from Lingnan also sent people to present the steward with large quantities of pearls, corals, tortoise shells and other specialties.
It stands to reason that with such a prosperous family business, one should be happy and smile, right?
In fact, it was just the opposite. Fang Xuanling had a lingering sense of loss in her heart...
Because most of the people giving New Year's gifts this year were not for him, the current Prime Minister, but for his son who was the Jing Zhaoyin.
The soon-to-be-opened "Martial Arts Hall" has become a place where powerful men, civil servants and generals from all walks of life flock to, and everyone wants to get a piece of it. Whether you want to occupy an instructor's position and become a teacher of military attachés in the "Jiangwu Hall" department that will be spread all over the army in the future, or you want to send the children of the clan to the "Jiangwu Hall" to expand your network, all of them started before the year ago. Everyone shows their abilities and explores opportunities.
As it should be, Fang Jun, who is responsible for overall responsibility for the establishment of the "Martial Arts Hall", naturally becomes the target of competition from all parties...
Fang Xuanling has an indifferent temperament and will never be jealous of anyone, but now facing her son who is faintly overshadowing her in the limelight, she always feels a little unbalanced in her heart. Once upon a time, that guy was dull and cowardly. He would stay at home for whole months without going out. He even wondered if he could live a good life if he got a wife. But now there are earth-shaking changes. He is smart, capable, and has a bad temper. If the relationship between father and son were not still harmonious and close, Fang Xuanling would even doubt whether his son was possessed by some thousand-year-old demon...
It is every father's wish to see his son become a successful child.
But when this day comes suddenly without any preparation, the strong impact is something that not half of people can accept calmly...
At the same time, Fang Jun, who was merciless in receiving the gift, was still extremely disgusted.
In my previous life, I was most disgusted with this kind of social interaction, especially when it came to those colleagues in the DPRK and China. Smiling too much would make people misunderstand that he had agreed to what he asked for, and if he kept a straight face, he would be misunderstood. People say he is unruly and domineering.
Fang Jun doesn't really care what others say about him, but this kind of discomfort is really uncomfortable, especially when his hip is injured and he can only stand and not sit...
In fact, Fang Jun is the most impatient of this kind of life.
In his opinion, it is right to be reborn to enjoy the second life that God rewards him with. Working hard and risking one's life is not his style.
But he also knows that since people are alive, they always have to do something. As the saying goes, a flying goose leaves its voice, and a dead leopard leaves its skin. If a period of great youth is wasted and nothing is accomplished, won't he be laughed at?
How can life be meaningful?
When he looks back on the past, he has no regrets for wasting his years, nor is he ashamed of being inactive...
Fang Jun once made a life plan for himself.
At this stage, he will do his best to demonstrate his "travel" talent and help the prosperous Tang Dynasty reach a higher level. If he can make Datang enter the Age of Discovery one step ahead of time and even break out the first meritorious revolution, that will be the ultimate success. Perfect result.
He will show off his edge and he will go all out!
Then, when he becomes famous and has no regrets in his heart, he will retreat and enjoy life to the fullest.
What kind of people live long?
It is not a person who has ability or luck, but a person who knows how to advance and retreat and knows the rules...
At that time, he will be a peaceful bureaucrat, just cleaning up the snow in front of his own house and not caring about the frost on other people's tiles! Officialdom has its own official rules, and everything must be done according to the rules, not exceeding the rules or deviating from the rules, and everyone must perform their duties.
He just doesn't follow the rules now, so he becomes a thorn in others' side.
Being honest and doing things properly is the key to being a high official. Only small officials need to do something special such as being brave and diligent and having great ambitions. At a certain point, it is correct not to make progress and just muddle along. For example, one day Fang Jun took the position of prime minister, but he still thought about such things as risking wealth and wealth. Isn't that asking for death?
You would be so stupid unless your brain was kicked by a donkey...
The warehouse at home has become a play place for several children. All kinds of rare treasures are dazzling. Pearls as big as longans are placed on white jade plates and they roll around with just a finger. A coral tree as tall as a person How was it fished out of the sea? And the one-meter-long tortoiseshell that is brownish-red with light yellow cloud spots. How many years does it take to grow so big?
Every time Fang Xiuzhu entered the warehouse, she would secretly take away a few treasures and name them "Appreciation". Later, Fang Jun found out that this girl was actually secretly saving a dowry for herself.
Fang Jun doesn't object to saving dowry, but if he takes the treasures from his own warehouse and puts them into a box in his boudoir, can that be called "saving"?
Relatively speaking, Fang Yize and Fang Yiyi are much simpler.
On the other hand, the widow would swagger into the warehouse to take away a treasure that was pleasing to the eye, and then openly go to the pawnshop in Chang'an City to pawn the copper coins for a servant to carry. They visited all the major brothels and soon found a With the reputation of "spending money like water and free and unrestrained", he was warmly welcomed by the brothel ladies.
Can you not welcome me?
The little bird, whose fur is not fully grown, can do nothing but release water. It can be fucked by a touch, and it can be fucked twice by a kiss...
After knowing that Fang Xuanling heard the news and hung Fang Yize from the beam of the flower hall and whipped him severely, Fang Yize ceased his activities. Fang Jun is not worried about his brother losing money. Judging from the speed at which he makes money, Fang Yize will not be able to lose everything even if he loses his family to this extent in a hundred years, because the speed at which he loses money is far less than the speed at which Fang Jun makes money.
What made him angry was that Fang Yize showed far less integrity when he was beaten than when he was wandering around in a brothel. He would even cry out with snot and tears begging for mercy, and then said to Fang Xuanling why the second brother You don’t care if everyone is drinking wine at the brothel...
Are these good brothers?
It's more like cheating on your brother, but if your second brother doesn't get beaten with you, you'll be lonely, right?
Princess Gao Yang and Wu Meiniang were also brought back from the farm. Now these two are the key protection targets of the Fang family. Fang Xuanling and others are always asking for warmth and caring every day, lest these two have unborn Fang family members. The descendants have been a little wronged. As for whether Fang Jun, a descendant of the Fang family, will be offended, no one cares...
On the early morning of the 21st day of the twelfth lunar month, Fangfu welcomed a rather special person.
He is special because his official position is so small that it is almost negligible among the officials who visit the house every day.
Because he is a goalkeeper...
Uh, the officials guarding the city gate...
Wang Xuance specially changed into a new set of brocade robes today, smoked the incense, and applied a thin layer of powder on his face. He carried the gift box into Fang Jun's study elegantly, and Fang Jun kicked it out... …
"Are you going to smoke people to death or what? Quickly follow the servants to wash your hair and face, wash off the lard on your hair, and wipe off the white ash on your face, otherwise I will pluck out all your hair and tear off a layer of your face. Believe it or not?”
Fang Jun was almost smoked to death. He was furious and ordered two strong servants to escort Wang Xuance to the penthouse to clean up. Wearing powder and incense, this mighty and proud man of the Tang Dynasty is going to fall into the hands of such a group of spineless and manly sticks?
If he hadn't seen the words "Wang Xuance" written on the gift list, he would have ordered Wei Ying to throw this man out of the gate by the collar!
Mother, this is Wang Xuance who can destroy an entire country with one man!
Such a super talented person is actually just a city gate official?
Interesting...
He likes training famous ministers and generals the most.
When Wang Xuance washed up and was brought back by his servant, Fang Jun suddenly felt more pleasing to the eye. This guy is not bad looking, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a straight nose, and a square mouth. He looks upright and good-looking, but he has been ruined by social trends. Why does he have to smoke incense and apply powder to look like a rabbit?
There's something wrong with aesthetics.
He stared at Wang Xuance, looking at Wang Xuance, and his heart went crazy...
The second stick in this room is always staring at me, what does he want to do? If I really want to do something, should I refuse or not?
