Chapter 1390 Rumors
By noon, almost all the guests who came to congratulate him had arrived, but the entrance to the house became increasingly lively. Many villagers, tenants, handymen and servants of the Fang family put down their work and came bustling into the city to congratulate Fang Jun.
Since it was a congratulatory event, naturally we couldn’t come empty-handed, so the whole Chongrenfang suddenly became lively. Although the farmers and servants who came to congratulate the congratulatory party all changed into new clothes, they had a chicken in their left hand and a duck in their right hand and a fat baby on their backs. It was so noisy. The commotion made the whole place abuzz with people.
Chongrenfang is only one street away from the imperial palace. Standing on the rockery in the courtyard, you can even overlook the glazed green tiles of the palace. It is naturally a place where dignitaries and dignitaries gather. However, no matter how big Chongrenfang is, after three big bosses, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Gao Shilian, live at the same time, it cannot accommodate several families...
For the happy event of the Fang family, both Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian went to celebrate in person. After all, this was a matter of face, and they had to be protected even if they were full of filth in private.
But when such a large group of farmers and servants went to the house to congratulate him, the whole Chongrenfang was immediately in a state of uproar.
Gao Zhenxing was practicing martial arts in the yard when he was annoyed by the noisy people and the neighing of chickens and ducks on the street. He immediately kicked open the door, walked to the street carrying a stick, and cursed angrily: " A bunch of mud-legged people are going to pollute the street in front of my house. Get out of my way quickly, or you won’t be blamed for smashing your dog’s head with the stick in my hand!”
The street suddenly came to a standstill. Although few people knew who Gao Zhenxing was, but look at the gilded plaque in front of the gate of Duke Shen and the gold seal given by the emperor on the plaque, who would dare to provoke him? In this strictly hierarchical society, a class gap often means crushing, and facing a behemoth like Shen Guogongfu, the lives of these mud-legged people... are no different than an ant.
No one dared to talk back, and there was not even a trace of anger. The people had long been accustomed to the aloofness of powerful people who could not be looked up to.
But the problem is that people know how to fear and retreat, but chickens and ducks don’t understand...
These people came to Fang's house to congratulate them. They were all grateful for Fang Jun's kindness. They all came from small families and didn't have much to offer in congratulations. This one was carrying a chicken, that was carrying a duck, and some were carrying A piece of bacon, some were carrying a mountain rabbit... Anyway, they took out all the valuable things in the house. Although the Fang family was short of everything, was that what everyone wanted?
Everyone knows how the Fang family and his son are. As long as the big guys get what they want, the Prime Minister will be happy, and Fang Erlang will be even happier!
At this moment, everyone was frightened by Gao Zhenxing's scolding. They closed their mouths tightly and cautiously passed by the door of Shen Guogong's Mansion to Fang's house. However, while walking, chickens and ducks will inevitably be frightened and make "clucking" and "quacking" sounds.
Seeing the noble young master standing in front of the gate of Shen Guo Gong's Mansion with a black face and faint anger, everyone was frightened and quickly stretched out their hands to pinch the necks of the chickens and ducks... The chickens and ducks were choked so hard that they couldn't breathe, and they were slapped. It struggled with its wings, and its occasional screams became increasingly unpleasant.
Gao Zhenxing was furious!
He thought this was just a bunch of idiots taking advantage of the Fang family's power to embarrass him. They didn't take him seriously at all. They were clearly provocative!
He has a bad temper. His leg was broken by Fang Jun last time and he suffered several humiliations. How can he endure it now? With a swing of the stick in his hand and a loud shout, he was about to rush forward and beat a few of these untouchables to death. He would vent his anger and fill it up for Fang Jun and that fellow!
But as soon as he made a move, he was suddenly hugged around the waist...
Behind him, the old steward of Gao Mansion screamed secretly when he heard that Gao Zhenxing stormed out of the house angrily. At this moment, he quickly saved Gao Zhenxing and shouted: "Silang, calm down, Silang, calm down! But he forgot that the master of the house was leaving before he left. How do you tell Shiro not to cause trouble?”
The Gao family and the Fang family live in the same building. Although they are not close to each other, they are neighbors after all. And with the current momentum of the Fang family, there must be many people who come to congratulate them, and it is inevitable that the noise will affect the entire Chongrenfang.
When Gao Shilian left home in the morning to congratulate the Fangfu, he kept Gao Zhenxing at home and strictly prohibited him from going out. Today is the Fangfu wedding banquet. If Gao Zhenxing can't stand his bad temper and causes trouble, then no matter what the reason is, the government and the public will Everyone up and down, as well as His Majesty the Emperor, will think that Gao Zhenxing is deliberately looking for trouble to embarrass the Fang family, and he will definitely be the one to suffer. If the Emperor gets angry, he may be severely punished.
Gao Zhenxing had just become furious and blinded his reason. He wanted to kill all these pig-like and dog-like untouchables in front of his door. The worst he could do was pay compensation or pay fines to atone for his sins. Could it be that he, the son of Duke Shen and the emperor's cousin brother-in-law, had to pay with his life?
At this time, he was persuaded by the housekeeper and gradually calmed down.
If someone from the Fang family was killed at this time, it would be impossible to pay for it with their lives. But the emperor became angry, and if he couldn't help it, he would fight far away to the corners of the poor mountains and rivers, and would not recall him to the capital for ten or eight years...< br>
Gao Zhenxing calmed down, threw the stick in his hand on the ground angrily, and turned back to the house.
I can't bear it, but if I continue to bear it, Gao Zhenxing is afraid that I will suffer internal injuries, so I have to think of some way to vent my anger...
Seeing this evil god turning around in anger, all the servants and villagers in front of the door breathed a sigh of relief, quickly dispersed, and walked quickly towards the house. Before the rise of Erlang of his own family, the Silang of the Gao family was famously vicious in Chang'an City, and he easily killed people.
Who can afford to offend such a dandy?
*****
Fangfu.
For today's wedding banquet, not only the house was filled with banquets, but also tables, chairs and benches were set up along both sides of the road on the street in front of the door to entertain the guests and servants who came to congratulate the villagers. It's not just that the Fang family is snobbish. The house is full of dignitaries, princes and ministers. It would indeed be rude to be bumped into by these "untouchables".
Fang Jun has always been grand, and the flowing banquet is also full of the atmosphere of a rich man. There are all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas. The abundant chicken, duck and fish make the villagers who come to the banquet very happy. Even though things are going smoothly and peacefully at this time, for the "untouchables" at the bottom, barely being able to make ends meet is considered good. How can they have the opportunity to eat such a luxurious meal all year round?
Not only the tenants of the Fang family, but also the residents of the city, as long as they come to congratulate them, they can have a delicious meal. The fine wine produced by the Fang family winery is also available in large quantities, as long as you drink it. If you can, just drink it!
Fang Jun came out to toast with a round of wine, said hello, and loudly said "eat well and drink well", which immediately aroused a burst of cheers, and everyone praised Fang Jun's heroic spirit. The atmosphere was extremely warm, and it was more festive than the elegant banquet in the mansion. atmosphere.
Fang Jun was very satisfied. Although the congratulations from these people were not even one-tenth of the meal, he was so happy!
Isn’t it better to be alone than to be happy among others?
Back house.
The guests were having a lively banquet in the front yard, and the voices of people urging people to drink and giving orders came one after another, making the banquet of the female family members in the back house also lively and lively.
Princess Gaoyang gave birth to a son at the 100-day banquet, and all the princesses naturally came to congratulate her.
Led by Crown Princess Su, Princess Xiangcheng, Princess Nanping, Princess Changle, Princess Yuzhang, Princess Baling, Princess Dongyang, Princess Linchuan, Princess Ankang, Princess Qinghe, Princess Chengyang, Princess Jinyang, Princess Hengshan... ...all the princesses in Beijing came, except Princess Sui'an to marry Dou Kui, and Princess Lanling to marry Dou Huaichai. Because the Dou family was in the midst of a filial piety and could not go to other families' wedding banquets, they did not come, but the congratulatory ceremony was Nothing missing.
The daughters of His Majesty Li Er, including Yan Shi, the chief concubine of King Li Tai of Wei, Yang Shi, the chief concubine of Wu King Li Ke, Wei Shi, the chief concubine of Qi King Li You, and Princess Fang Ling, the daughter of the great ancestor Li Yuan, were surrounded by many royal family members and sat there. The first princess, Princess Gaoyang, spoke and laughed in a harmonious atmosphere.
It is true that there are not many princesses who are jealous of each other, but the fights are all under the table. Today is the wedding banquet at the house. Who would be stupid enough to disturb the atmosphere on this occasion?
Of course, today's protagonist, Princess Gaoyang, was praised with good words. The sisters had endless kisses and enjoyed themselves happily.
However, the so-called nine sons born from a dragon are all different. A wise and mighty man like His Majesty Li Er will naturally have some strange children among his children.
For example, Princess Li Mengjiang of Linchuan...
The princess with bright eyes and white teeth looked at the smiling Princess Changle and Princess Gaoyang, blinked, and suddenly said: "My sister heard that Duke Qiu Xinggong of Tianshui County asked his father to marry his son Qiu Shenji some time ago. After falling in love with Sister Changle, the father refused to comment, and then rumors spread among the people that Fang Erlang had overturned the Qiu family's fine. The punishment was doubled because the Qiu family wanted to marry Sister Changle back, so jealousy arose... The younger sister naturally knew that this was nonsense, but she found it interesting. To elaborate, Fang Erlang He once risked his life to rescue Sister Changle from Chang Sun Chong, which is really a good story..."
There was a sudden silence at the banquet.
Princess Changle's expression remained unchanged, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, she glanced at Princess Linchuan, and said calmly: "Since my sister knows that this is a rumor, how can she spread rumors? These are irrelevant words. Please don't mention it in the future." As an imperial princess, how can she be a gossip like the gossip in the public? She has no dignity and a shallow upbringing, and she only makes people laugh. "
Princess Linchuan's face turned red and she was about to speak, but she saw Princess Gaoyang's smiling face as cold as ice, and her eyes piercing her like knives... (End of Chapter)
