Chapter 252 Apprenticeship
Li Sanniang, Li’s father and Li’s second brother made unobtrusive eye contact in the main hall. Suddenly such a big surprise hit her head, and she didn’t know what to do for a moment. alright.
Li Sanniang is not a face-saving person. If she doesn’t take advantage of her, she will be struck by lightning.
Li Sanniang stood up and came to Dr. Liang. She bowed her head and said, "Meet the master."
Dr. Liang was stunned for a moment. He probably didn't expect that Li Sanniang could climb the pole so well.
Brother Li was a good helper, so he handed the tea cup to Li Sanniang from the side. Li Sanniang kowtowed three times, took the tea cup from Brother Li, and raised it to Dr. Liang. Said: "Master, please drink tea."
Old doctor Liang smiled: "Okay, okay, okay."
After taking a sip of the tea served by Li Sanniang, old doctor Liang , I heard an angry "Master!" coming from behind Dr. Liang.
It was the young boy from Shaoyang who had been confused just now. He was watching his master drink Li Sanniang’s tea and seemed to accept him as his apprentice. Then he faced Dr. Liang There was a bit of complaint.
"Master, you clearly agreed when you accepted me, I am your old man's closed disciple!"
Shao Yang stood next to Dr. Liang, looked at Dr. Liang, but pointed at Li Sanniang who was still kneeling on the ground, and continued to accuse Dr. Liang: "If you accept this girl now, won't I become a senior brother?" ? Didn’t you agree that I am the closed disciple?”
“Oh, okay, Shao Yang, don’t be angry, you are a senior brother, you have to act like a senior brother, help your junior sister up. "
Shao Yang tilted his head angrily, without even looking at Li Sanniang.
How could Li Sanniang care about such a thing with this young boy? Instead, she looked up with a smile and said, "Master, I can get up by myself without the help of my little brother."
While saying, Li Sanniang stood up on her own.
Li Sanniang was very happy to be her apprentice. She had been taken by Li Dalang to Fang Chengxian, who was staying in the guest room next door, but she still didn't fall asleep.
After drinking the medicine prepared by Duoshou, Fang Chengxian put on his big cloak and looked at the bright moon outside the window, feeling a little melancholy in his heart.
Since Fang Cheng first found out how he had been poisoned during the six or seven years in Fangfu, he moved Duoshou from Fangfu to a place outside Chang'an City. Chu Xiaozhuangzi went up to live.
The small village was the dowry of Fang Chengxian's mother who died young. The village was not big, with several households of tenant farmers. It was not far from Chang'an City, only half an hour's drive away.
Since moving to this small village, Fang Chengxian has handed over all his business related to the house to his several managers, except for those under his mother's name and those he has vacated by himself in the past few years. In addition to his property, he has decided not to take care of the family property anymore.
However, several stewards still came to this small village to ask Fang Chengxian for instructions.
New Year's Eve is less than four months away. Fang Chengxian refused the question of how to purchase goods for his shop: "Don't ask me about anything in the house from now on. I'm sick." . ”
The stewards who were blocked back did not dare to make their own decisions. No matter how respectable they were outside, they were just stewards of the house after all, and such a huge property was worth nothing. His surname is Fang.
So, several stewards teamed up to go to the house and asked the house father for instructions.
After hearing what the stewards said, Fang’s father thought that Fang Chengxian was terminally ill and didn’t want to go home for treatment or something, so he went directly to the small village where Fang Chengxian lived that night.
When he came through the door and saw Fang Chengxian, who was wearing a big cloak and reading in front of the light, Fang's father felt relieved.
When Duoshou finished making tea, the father and son also sat down facing each other.
"Why did you want to live in this small village? But are you bored living in the house?"
Fang Chengxian was silent.
Fang Chengxian knew that he was being petty. His father-in-law was his own brother, so it was impossible for him to let his concubine poison him on purpose.
But those two sayings, "A child without a mother is like a grass, and with a stepmother, there is a stepfather." Now let Fang Cheng think about it first, it really is that way.
Although Fang’s father really had deep feelings for his late wife, he was still worried about Fang Chengxian, the eldest son, or feared that Fang Chengxian’s mother’s power was not small;
< br>Maybe it was because after Emperor Wu came to power, Fang's father considered his own future, so Fang's father did not marry anyone who wanted to fill the house. When Fang Chengxian was in his early tenth year, the two concubines that Fang's father took in were also taken by Fang. It only comes about when people urge and force you to do it.
So, Fang Cheng didn’t have a stepmother at first, but after he learned the truth about his poisoning, he felt that he had a stepfather.
However, children are born to love their parents, and their admiration for their parents, how can it be said that they can be let go of?
Even people in their forties or fifties can still pray for their parents' love, not to mention that Fang Chengxian is just a young man.
So, now, Fang Cheng first looked at the caring eyes of his father, and really didn’t know how to say this.
“Aye, I will live in this village from now on and will not go back home.”
Fang’s father looked at Fang Chengxian’s face and reached out to touch his hand. After feeling that it was warm, he took a sip of tea and said, "But Gen'er (Fang Xiaolang) disturbed your purity at home?
I feel like the medicine prescribed by Dr. Liang recently has worked. I see that your complexion is much better than before, and your hands are no longer cold." The father and son chatted for a few more words, and the father felt relieved when he saw that Fang Chengxian was doing well. .
That night, the house’s father stayed in the guest room of this small village. After all, the curfew had passed long ago and he could not return to the city.
Although the father and son did not explain clearly why Fang Chengxian was unwilling to continue managing the Fang family's property, Fang's father should have thought about it in his heart.
Then, on the second night, Fang Chengxian welcomed Fang’s father again in this small village.
It’s just that this time the house father came to the door with a gloomy face. As soon as he came in, he just sat and didn’t speak.
Fang Chengxian is just weak, but he can manage the Fang family's property so well. Not only does he make a lot of money every day, but at least at the end of every year when a dozen stewards take stock together, a lot of money is made every year. of.
So, Fang Chengxian is very smart.
He thought that Fang's father must have had a plan in his mind last night, but he just didn't say it in front of Fang Chengxian.
For so many years, the only person close to Fang Chengxian was Duo Shou, and Duo Shou never told Fang Chengxian that his father had been looking for him.
Then the father must have got the news from other people.
"Aye, you know everything."
It was an affirmative tone. Fang Cheng knew first that Fang's father must have known that his concubine poisoned him.
Fang’s father nodded and said nothing.
Fang Chengxian told himself long ago yesterday that Fangfu is no longer his home.
But today I saw that the house’s father didn’t take the initiative to say a word, didn’t explain, deny, or affirm, and just remained silent without giving himself an explanation.
Fang Chengxian finally realized that he had no family for a long time!
“Things have already happened, and I can only live for four or five years.
I will not go back to the house, and I will not interfere with the family’s property. I only take what my mother left me and what I saved over the years.
Aye, son, I won’t make it difficult for the Fang family and Aye.”
"Chengxian, you."
Listening to Fang Chengxian's words, Fang's father felt a throbbing pain in his heart.
Fang’s father really didn’t expect that because of Fang Chengxian’s performance yesterday, he noticed something was wrong. So before going on duty today, he went home and asked the housekeeper to investigate, and also asked the nurse to investigate. The head of the courtyard also tried his best to investigate in the mansion.
Although Fang Chengxian did not make a big show of investigating the fact that he was poisoned before, he did ask Duo Shou to find the old man who was originally left behind by his mother in the mansion and let these servants help him to investigate. .
As long as this has been done, there must be traces.
The chief housekeeper of the Fang Mansion and the head of the nursing home have a lot of power in the Fang Mansion. Naturally, they can quickly find out the dirty things hidden behind them.
After returning home from work today, Fang's father listened to the housekeeper in the study saying that the concubine he had taken in had given birth to Fang Erlang (Gen'er), a healthy heir, because he had given her some housekeeping rights in the backyard. , in order to bribe the second housekeeper, many servants and the cook in the big kitchen, and feed Fang Chengxian's meals with something that would be counterproductive, making Fang Chengxian's body bones become weaker and weaker over time, and it was already poisonous to his heart.
Father, one has two heads.
“For the colluded housekeeper and servant, the principal culprit cannot escape the death penalty of betraying the master, and the accomplices must also accept punishment.
After all, she gave birth to her, so let her be locked up in the Buddhist hall at home. , pray for Gen'er.
Your mother-in-law's share has long been divided between you and your second sister. My share is divided into three, and you and your second sister still have one.
Your grandma's share is up to her, and she can give it to whomever she wants.
Looking back, I will ask Lizhong (the housekeeper of the house) to give you the deed.
It’s Aye who is sorry for you, but Aye still has the entire son’s family. It’s fine if you hate Aye or blame Aye, but don’t forget to take care of yourself. "
Fang Chengxian looked at the bright moon outside the window, and was urged by Duoshou: "Mr. Lang, it's time to go to bed. It's already Haishi (21:00). ”
It was too cold at home, so I bought some cotton slippers with heel for 18.8 yuan on Orange Software. The merchant told me that there was an epidemic here and they couldn’t deliver the goods...
I told the merchant not to refund the money yet, but let’s see if it can be shipped in a few days. . .
