Chapter 59 Visiting the sick (2 more)
The eldest young master Fang was beaten by a court stick during the day. That night, the emperor sent the imperial physician to visit his home. The news spread throughout the Fang Mansion after Eunuch Cao and the two imperial physicians left. The subordinates put aside their worries. It seemed that the young master not only did not lose his holy family, but was even more generous. The haze of the young master being beaten by a court stick was finally wiped out, and the entire Fang Mansion was excited.
The next day, the fat man who received the news came with Changping to visit Master Fang who was "heavyly injured".
"Damn it, you bastard is so embarrassing. You were beaten when you went to court on the first day, haha--" Changping was always Changping, laughing and swearing. He was still in the yard, and his mouth began to hurt people.
"Mi'er, don't make a fuss. Brother Fang is now in danger. Can't you say something nice?" The fat man held back his smile and scolded him.
None of the two siblings has a good thing!
Fang Zheng said angrily: "Come in, what are you doing outside?"
The fat man stepped in first and saw Fang Zheng lying on the bed with some snacks like dried fruit and meat beside the bed. Master Fang was sad and sighed while eating snacks. Seeing this, the fat man couldn't help laughing, and Changping followed him in. When he saw Fang Zheng's appearance, he laughed so hard that his two brothers and sisters laughed together without any scruples.
Fang Zheng frowned and said, "What's so funny! Are you two crazy?"
The fat man laughed and gasped: "Brother Fang, I really admire you. All the civil and military officials in the court are just this kind of virtue. Haha--"
"What's wrong with this kind of virtue? Master, I'm born with this kind of virtue! Fatty, didn't I say, your father is too cruel, wouldn't he be late for a while? Is it possible to beat me up to pieces?"
The fat man smiled for a long time and finally stopped, saying seriously: "Brother Fang, this is the rule. This is the case in the court. There are rules for speaking and rules for walking. This is impossible to change at all. My father is still safeguarding you. If he does not pursue the matter, those censors who have nothing to do after eating and having nothing to do will not let you go. Then you will be more than just ten court sticks. Maybe you can really kill your life."
"Damn! It's so dangerous to be an official?" Fang Zheng said with a sad face: "Then I can't do it anymore? I'll resign tomorrow!"
Changping said disdainfully, "A man is a real man, as timid as a mouse. He dares not become an official after being beaten. Is it embarrassing to say it? Do you feel thick-skinned? How can Uncle Fang and Aunt Fang raise their heads to be human in the future? A selfish guy! He never thinks about others. Humph!"
Fang Zheng said in surprise: "Huh? Changping, you are very profound today! I haven't seen you for a few days, and your thoughts are so profound that you have?"
Changping said happily: "Really?"
Fang Zheng turned his head and said to the fat man, "Your sister is still so stupid, why don't you teach her more?"
Changping was furious: "You fucking bastard! I want..."
"You want to kill my nine clans, right?" Fang Zheng said lazily: "Go, my parents didn't go out today. You go and ask someone to arrest my whole family and behead them."
Changping suffocated and stomped his feet and said, "Brother--Look at him..."
The fat man waved his hand and said, "Don't call me, I'll have a headache when I see you. You guys must have been enemies in the previous life."
Changping was furious, but when he heard this, he immediately turned off his anger. He gave Fang Zheng a affectionate look and lowered his head shyly. Isn’t the word "enemy" used on her and Fang Zheng, isn’t it appropriate?
Fang Zheng smiled bitterly. In his previous life, he was an unemployed college student and couldn't even find a job. He spent all day long, laying newspapers and drawing circles on the recruitment column. When he went out to apply for a job, he was so tired that he had no intention of finding enemies. This life was good, and he had some trouble with the princess for no reason. Seeing Changping's shy appearance, this enemy was decided.
The three of them were talking in the room when Mrs. Fang came in. Yesterday, she saw Fang Zheng being sceptered by the emperor. Mrs. Fang felt very distressed and ordered the kitchen to make some blood and qi-enriching meals. Today she came to see if Fang Zheng was better.
Seeing that King Fu and Princess Changping were there, Mrs. Fang was stunned for a moment, and then bowed to bless her.
Changping was shocked when he saw this, so he rushed forward and grabbed Mrs. Fang and said, "Aunt Fang, don't scare Mi'er, how can you do this great gift? Mi'er is a junior, so I should bow to you." As he said that, he blessed Mrs. Fang.
Mrs. Fang was also shocked. This was the princess. Although she had known that she was interested in her son, this matter could not be mentioned on the table. If the princess was allowed to salute her, the private woman, it would be a disaster if it was reported.
Mrs. Fang quickly bowed to Chang again and said, "Your Highness the Princess is so polite. The civilian woman really dare not take it."
When Changping saw Mrs. Fang reacting like this, he couldn't help but feel anxious. This is her future mother-in-law. If the mother-in-law meets her daughter-in-law like this, wouldn't the good things of her and the unscrupulous bastard be ruined?
Thinking of this, Changping quickly bowed to Mrs. Fang again.
The two of them were just celebrating each other and they were endless. Fang Zheng and the fat man looked at the scene in front of them in amazement, and couldn't help but be surprised. Changping's temperament changed?
Fang Zheng poked the fat man: "Hey, isn't you a schizophrenia?"
The fat man wondered: "What is 'schizophrenia'?"
"Look, she was careless in front of me and was full of swearing, but in front of my mother, she was gentle and graceful, like a lady from a wealthy family... Isn't this a split personality? "
The fat man said dissatisfiedly: "What are you saying? My sister is a lady from a wealthy family. She did this for you. I don't believe you don't notice it at all. Humph! Heartless!"
Fang Zheng smiled dryly and said, "Haha, I am from a humble background and I dare not climb up to the golden branches and jade leaves. You should advise your sister to give up. It is hard to find someone who is handsomer than me in this world, but what is much better than me is, why bother hanging me on the crooked tree? Everyone is not at ease, it is not good to do this."
The fat man sighed and said, "You're wronged! Who's wrong to look for? I'll fall in love with you. Look at this mess..."
Seeing that the two of them were still politely politely, Fang Zheng shouted: "Hey, you two, please take a break, mom, don't be so restrained. They are juniors at home, you have to take the airs of elders."
The fat man smiled and said, "Yes, Aunt Fang, you are so polite. How dare I come back from now on?"
Mrs. Fang gave a long gift and her waist was sore. She smiled dignifiedly when she heard this and said, "The courtesy cannot be abolished. My son is now a minister in the court. He doesn't understand the affairs of the officialdom, and he has to rely on the two to take care of him."
The fat man nodded and said yes. Changping smiled from the side: "Aunt Fang, I will teach him some rules in the palace and officialdom tomorrow so that he can make mistakes again in the future. Look at the one he beaten yesterday, is it wrong?"
Mrs. Fang smiled and thanked her, and she loved this girl more and more. It would be great if Changping could really be the wife of the Fang family.
Although Changping is not big, he is smart. He pestered Mrs. Fang when he saw the opportunity and asked her to take her to visit the Fang Mansion. Mrs. Fang smiled and took her out.
Fang Zheng and Fatty were left in the room, looking at each other, then shook their heads and smiled bitterly with uniform movements.
"To be honest, fat man, please advise your sister not to waste your thoughts on me." Fang Zheng said seriously.
The fat man rolled his eyes: "Why don't you go and persuade me? Will my advice work? I'm a silly girl now has you all over my mind. In the palace, whether you eat, drink, play or chat, you mention you all the time, and you're like a demon. What should you do if you call me a brother?"
"But I really don't want to marry a princess." Fang Zheng said with a bitter face: "It's not that I'm ignorant of politeness, you can see it myself. As long as I talk to your sister together, I start to argue in less than five sentences. Do you think this is interesting?"
"Also, your sister's lifelong affairs should not be allowed to be decided by her? Your father has the final say in this matter. Do you think your father will promise her to marry me? The day before yesterday, when you left, your father asked me about my sister and I, which scared me to sweat..."
The fat man smiled and said, "Actually... my father likes you very much, really... as for whether he will marry his sister to you, it's not clear, but I believe Mi'er will have a solution."
Fang Zheng said in horror: "This means, I'll be your brother-in-law?"
"Yes, hahaha--"
"Don't do it!" Fang Zheng said sadly and angrily: "Don't do it! I want to fall in love freely! Oppose arranged marriages!"
The fat man smiled wickedly and said, "Don't say this to me, it's useless. You can tell my father in the future, haha."
“…”
An hour later, Changping returned to Fang Zheng's courtyard alone, with a pretty face blushing. He didn't know what Mrs. Fang said to her. He didn't say anything after entering the house. He blushed and pulled the fat man away. As usual, the two brothers and sisters had to have a meal in Fang's house at least, but today they were spared.
"Why is this girl's face so red? Could it be that she peeking at the boy's feces?" Fang Zheng thought maliciously.
After the fat man and Changping left, the Fang Mansion was still in the bustle.
I don’t know who spread it. The newly promoted Zhongyong Bo and Fang Zheng, the attendant of the Right Sanqi, was given a court stick that day. At night, the emperor sent an imperial physician to heal his wounds. The emperor’s kindness was so great that it was unparalleled.
These court ministers in the capital seemed to feel some unusual meaning. When Fang Zheng was late for the morning court, the ministers had not taken this young boy into their eyes, thinking that the emperor was just giving him a free official. After all, Fang Zheng was too young and had no foundation in the court. Such people could only splash a small wave in the turbulent officialdom. Who would take a small wave seriously for the old men who had been in the court for decades?
But when the emperor sent an imperial physician to see Fang Zheng's injuries, this matter had something else. After thinking about Fang Zheng's official position, the answer was about to come out. - The emperor's actions were obviously to use Fang Zheng more seriously. Now, the little waves transformed into stormy waves.
Strictly speaking, the attendant of the Right Sanqi is just a fifth-rank void position, and there is not even a yamen for doing business, but the importance of this fifth-rank void position is very important. The emperor's close attendant often stays by the emperor's side. Can he not know what the emperor thinks? From now on, Lord Fang will be the one who knows the emperor's mind best. What's more, this void position has another responsibility, which is to advise the emperor at any time. In other words, if this master is unhappy in the future, he has to give a few words to the emperor, and his future and even his life will be suspended. - This void position is not inferior to the powerful ministers of the current dynasty.
How can a minister not spend all his efforts to curry favor with such an important person?
So, the fat man and Changping left, and the court ministers who gave gifts to get a relationship flocked to him. The officials who used to see Mr. Fang were not even despised, and now they were flattering in front of Mr. Fang, like a dog, just hoping to see Fang Zheng above and make friends. Mr. Fang was vain and sneering with the ministers, while secretly sighing: "This is the moment, and that is the moment, and yet he has ever seen the face of an official?"
