The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1378

[1378. Chapter 1308 Feng Chan]

After a while, the eunuch came with a bouquet of flowers.

Queen Zhang was immediately attracted by this bouquet of flowers.

There are dozens of flowers in this bouquet, but these flowers are unprecedented, all of them are fresh and extraordinarily beautiful.

Especially the purple flowers among the flowers are even more eye-catching.

Empress Zhang stepped forward and took the flower. The flower was not only beautiful, but also fragrant. Empress Zhang was a woman, and women had no resistance to such things.

She immediately beamed with joy and said, “Ah, Jifan, what kind of flower is this?”

“Tulips.”

“Tulips?” Empress Zhang murmured, and couldn’t help but ask, “What’s the allusion?”

Fang Jifan answered honestly: “Empress, There is no allusion, I just thought it sounded good. This flower was cultivated by Tuntianwei. A large amount of land was opened up in the Xishan area for cultivation. It cost a lot of money. I knew the empress liked these flowers, so I sent them to her. “

It’s really not easy. The first time I sent flowers was to my mother-in-law. It shows that our successor is a conscientious person. He is definitely not like some men who are like cats and dogs who only act as lickers for their girlfriends and wives. He knows how to drink water and remember the source, and when drinking water, he does not forget the man who dug the well. This is the true model of a man, the best among men.

Empress Zhang was overjoyed, holding the flowers and nodding: “Excellent, excellent.”

Fang Jifan ordered someone to get a porcelain vase, filled it with water, put the bouquet of flowers into the porcelain vase, and arranged it properly: “Empress You see, in this way, there will be spring scenery in the palace.”

Liang Ruying on the side also looked at it with wonder, looking left and right, her eyes attracted by this flower.

Empress Zhang said: “It’s rare that you have such thoughts. If everyone is as filial as you, I will have no regrets.”

Fang Jifan said seriously: “This is different, empress, other people’s filial piety is a matter of putting aside Deep down in my heart, I usually don’t see it, but Erchen… is just giving gifts, which is nothing. I still have a lot to learn, so don’t praise me.”

Empress Zhang was even more pleased. Look. Look at Fang Jifan, what a humble man he is. He always praises others and belittles himself.

This son-in-law was really right.

After sending the flowers, Fang Jifan left the palace and was about to leave the palace when he saw Liu Jian and others coming.

“The Duke of Qi.”

Liu Jian called to Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan stopped with a smile: “I’ve seen…”

“You don’t have to be like this, Duke of Qi.” Liu Jian looked at Fang Jifan with a smile: “I heard that Duke of Qi got a flower, which is quite valuable. The Jingfu also sent merchant ships to the four seas. In the name of a trading company, he went to Franji to sell flowers. “

The cabinet has its own eyes and ears, and this matter cannot be hidden.

Fang Jifan is not worried about the news leaking out. This place is thousands of miles away from Franji, and it takes a year and a half to go there, so there is no need to worry about any secrets being leaked to Franji. Fang Jifan said: “Exactly, four The foreign trading company has been established for a long time, and its performance has been poor. I thought that I had to ask them to improve their performance. It was my fault that I failed to educate my grandson well, and many shareholders lost money. “

Liu Jian: ” …”

Liu Jian breathed a sigh of relief: “Forget it, I’m going to see you.” When

Fang Jifan saw the three bachelors coming, he couldn’t help but said, “I don’t know what’s going on?”

To be honest, he asked the cabinet master so directly. What he did was very reckless. On the one hand, not everyone can participate in many military and national affairs. On the other hand, it was extremely impolite.

But…it’s Fang Jifan…it’s different.

Anyway, this guy has always been like this.

got used to.

If it were someone else, he would inevitably speculate on what the other person was thinking or what his intentions were.

It should be noted that everyone in this temple is a veteran, and there is no one who is not a mountain road. Even Liu Jian, you look at him kindly, but you will never understand his true thoughts.

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang looked at each other and coughed: “It’s not a confidential matter, it’s just an auspicious event.”

Auspicious?

Liu Jian looked good and said with a smile: “Last month, someone saw three unicorns appearing in Mount Tai. These three unicorns were old, strong, and a young unicorn. Many people saw their whereabouts, and some people said that they saw them with their own eyes. They flew away.”

Fang Jifan looked disdainful: “This is about the three deer.”

Liu Jian: “…”

Why is it so difficult to communicate with such people?

Li Dongyang stroked his beard and said with a smile: “I saw a lot of people. Come to think of it, it can’t be unfounded.”

Fang Jifan said: “It must be a deer. Some people are like rain when they see wind, and local officials are good at guessing. I wish I could bring some auspiciousness. Anyone who believes it is a fool.

Liu Jian: “…

” Xie Qian: “…”

Li Dongyang: “…”

Ahem…

The three of them coughed one after another.

Liu Jian said warmly: ” This time is different. When the report came, the old lady and others didn’t pay attention. But who would have expected that a plague happened to happen in Jinan Mansion before, and the court was preparing to provide relief. Do you think it’s strange or not? After someone discovered these three-headed unicorns, it was like a miracle. , the plague quickly subsided. I don’t believe in ridiculous things either, but looking at it now, I can’t help but believe it. “

Fang Jifan thought for a while: “The situation of the plague should be left to the medical school to study, and we will have an answer by then. As for the unicorn, it is a deer.”

Liu Jian did not want to pay attention to Fang Jifan.

Speaking of which, this is indeed auspicious.

The most important thing is that Mount Tai is also the place where the emperor enshrined himself in Zen, which is of great significance.

Liu Jian smiled and said: “Qi Guogong, please give way. It’s getting late. I’m going to see you later.”

Fang Jifan said “oh” and wanted to say something else, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was meaningless. It’s just for people to popularize science, which is not appropriate. We don’t want the incense in Longquan Temple anymore. We, Fang Jifan, also eat incense rice.

Then he stepped aside and left.

………

Jingli is already boiling.

Every move of Qi Guogong is still enough to attract people’s attention.

Duke Guo of Qi asked his disciple Liu Wenshan to board the ship, and it was said that he went to Franji to sell flowers. As soon as this news came out, the capital suddenly became excited.

There is no airtight wall in the world, and people were anxiously discussing this matter.

The Zhang family is in a state of panic.

Shouning Hou Zhang Heling held down his brother Zhang Yanling and gave him a good beating.

“What did you say at the beginning, that sea trade can make money? Siyang Trading Company will definitely make a lot of money. It’s better now. It’s better now. Look at the good things that bitch named Fang has done. It’s over. Our wealth and life… It’s all gone.”

Zhang Yanling was already bruised and swollen under the hammer. He gasped for air and shouted: “Brother, you were the one who said you wanted to buy it. It was you who said it would be profitable, and you said we are people who have seen the world. , I know how much profit silk and porcelain can make when shipped overseas. This is all what you said.”

Zhang Heling: “…”

For a long time.

Zhang Heling seemed to have remembered: “Did you really say it for your brother?”

Zhang Yanling rubbed his purple eyes and sobbed.

Zhang Heling finally remembered: “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? It seems that Brother Wei was wrong.”

He clapped his hands and curled his lips and said: “Brother, if you make a mistake, admit it. If you make a mistake, you must be punished. Then I will be fined with three drinks .”

The cup is ready.”

“Brother, my head hurts,” Zhang Yanling sobbed.

Zhang Heling flicked his sleeves: “I’m still thinking about your head now. Go to the stock market and sell all those damn Siyang Trading Company stocks. If you don’t sell them, do you really expect that bitch named Fang to hold a few stocks?” Flowers in exchange for money? Huh, if the Siyang Trading Company is completely depleted, it will be regarded as a great achievement for his ancestors.”

The capital was extremely excited.

Some people want to sell, while others want to wait for an opportunity to buy the dip.

This actually made more people pay attention to tulips.

This tulip is indeed of some ornamental value, and it is quite popular among people.

Just ask.

This thing is easy to grow. Xishan Farming Station has already had special cultivation technology, and once planted, it will become a big area.

Although many wealthy families spent some money to buy them and plant them in their own courtyards.

But more people were shocked. Just such a thing, is it worth anything?

…

The British husband is old.

As people get older, they begin to be unable to help but think about the past in their free time.

He can think of many old things.

I will also think of many people.

The children are getting older, they are getting married, and they are busy.

The busiest thing is his youngest son, who is actually still in his prime, but has changed beyond recognition. He is homeless all year round and his whole body smells like earth.

Zhang Mao would inevitably curse a few words when he thought of this.

The crops on this land are only short of you for a while?

That guy Fang Jifan knows everything, why doesn’t he play with the things in the field?

The last time I saw my successor, his complexion was really fair, his skin was as tender as water, and he was still so handsome and handsome, and his body was spotless… But why…

people are so infuriating when compared to others.

But Zhang Mao still couldn’t complain after all.

My son went to Shandong. It was said that he wanted to promote the latest fruit seeds and opened thousands of acres of experimental fields in Jinan Prefecture, Shandong.

This son…

Zhang Mao shook his head. He felt unhappy, so he drank.

After a sip of wine, I remembered the past when I was proud.

But at this moment, a disciple stumbled over: “Master, there is someone coming from the palace, someone is coming.”

Soon after, a eunuch came, took out the imperial edict, and shouted: “The emperor is destined to be blessed by heaven, and the edict says…”

Zhang Mao bowed down, his body swaying.

But it was an imperial edict that ordered him to go to Mount Tai to arrange… the matter of enshrining Zen.

Feng Chan…

The so-called Feng Zen, Feng means “sacrifice to heaven”, and Zen means “sacrifice to earth”, which refers to the large-scale ceremonies held by emperors in the past dynasties to worship heaven and earth in times of peace and prosperity or when heaven descends auspiciousness.

This move is of great significance.

So much so that after that, most emperors did not dare to grant Zen status. On the one hand, they felt that they were not qualified enough and would inevitably be laughed at by future generations. On the other hand, this auspicious event has been a real reward since ancient times. There were so many that later emperors were embarrassed to admit the authenticity of auspiciousness.

But…the sun is out in the west today, Your Majesty…why has he suddenly become thick-skinned and actually has the nerve to go to the Zen throne?
