The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 285

[Chapter 285 Accident]

When Xia Yixue heard this, she had a thoughtful expression on her face. After a moment, she nodded without saying anything.

When Fang Xiu saw this, he was a little confused. He always felt that Xia Yixue wanted to say something, but without thinking much, he turned and left the Kyoto government office.

When we returned to Fang Mansion, it was already noon.

Two middle-aged stewards were standing in the backyard, waiting for a long time. As soon as Fang Xiu walked into the backyard, he saw them coming up to him.

“Master”

Fang Xiu glanced at them, waved his hands, and said casually: “How are the preparations for the Kite Workshop and Fireworks Workshop?”

The two middle-aged stewards looked at each other and said in unison: “Everything is going according to plan. , please rest assured, young master. “

There are free shops in the south of the city. Apart from some decorations and furniture, the preparations for the kite workshop and the fireworks workshop are nothing difficult and can be done by anyone.

Therefore, Fang Xiu had nothing to worry about. He just nodded and said, “In that case, you can go down.”

These two middle-aged stewards were also selected from the Fang Mansion and sent to the Kite Factory and the Fireworks Factory for work. Go to the shopkeeper.

Compared with Chunfeng Tower and Zhuxuanzhai, Kite Workshop and Fireworks Workshop are much less difficult to operate. Therefore, if you pick two stewards at random, as long as you don’t make any big mistakes, there won’t be any problems.

The two stewards were a little hesitant, standing in front of Fang Xiu and not leaving for a long time.

When Fang Xiu saw this, he naturally knew that they were in trouble and asked, “What’s the matter?”

The two stewards looked at each other, but the steward of the fireworks shop spoke first: “Reporting to the young master, the fireworks shop and the kite shop All preparations have been completed, but

something unexpected happened. The Qinjun Mansion sent someone over and said that the Fireworks Shop and the Kite Shop were not allowed to open without their consent. “

Qinjun Mansion? “

Fang Xiu was slightly startled when he heard this.

The Qinjun Mansion is in charge of Wei Guogong.

Although Wei Guogong’s position is more inclined to Prince Ning’s Mansion, he is not yet completely in the camp of Prince Ning’s Mansion.

It is impossible to deliberately go against him because of the affairs of Prince Ning’s Mansion and Shangshu Mansion.

In any case, he was considered a popular figure among the Emperor of Chu. Duke Wei was not a stupid person and would not do such blatant things.

If so, why would he do this?

For a moment, Fang Xiu couldn’t figure out the reason.

Of course, in addition to the factor of Prince Ning, there is a greater possibility, that is, the person in the palace has spoken.

After all, the Qinjun Mansion was nominally under the jurisdiction of Wei Guogong, but in fact it was the private palace of the Chu Emperor.

But

why did Emperor Chu do this?

Could it be that seeing how much money he had made, he felt unbalanced and wanted to get a share of the pie?

Thinking about it carefully, it seems not impossible.

When Fang Xiu was confused, an unexpected person suddenly came outside the hospital.

The young eunuch Zhang Wen stood timidly at the door of the courtyard and looked at Fang Xiu who was lying on the rocking chair in the courtyard. A flattering smile suddenly appeared on his face without a beard.

He walked quickly to Fang Xiu and said softly: “This slave has met Mr. Fang.”

Fang Xiu raised his eyes, glanced at Zhang Wen, with a look of surprise on his face, and asked, “Why are you here?”

According to common sense, Zhang Wen’s appearance outside the palace must be to convey His Majesty’s will. This is almost beyond doubt.

However, Zhang Wen’s groveling attitude made Fang Xiu ignore the matter and did not react for a while.

When Zhang Wen heard these words, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, but he quickly returned to normal and said with a smile: “This slave is here to convey His Majesty’s will.” When

Fang Xiu heard this, he suddenly reacted and subconsciously He stood up from the recliner and saluted Zhang Wen, but his tone was very understated: “I wonder what your Majesty’s will is?”

In this era, there are some rules that you don’t need to abide by, and some rules that you must abide by.

Fang Xiu is very clear about this.

There were so many nobles in the capital, whether it was Prince Ning or the Minister of Rites, it was too easy to secretly use some means to make Fang Xiu restless day and night.

The reason why Fang Mansion is so peaceful is that apart from the great reputation of Dingyuan General An Pingbo and Fang Xiu’s own vigilance, the most important thing is the Emperor of Chu.

It was because of Emperor Chu’s attitude that neither King Ning nor Yang Zheng dared to move Fang Xiu.

Therefore, for the Emperor of Chu, even if he didn’t take it seriously in his heart, he still had to take it seriously on the surface.

Zhang Wen was a little panicked when he saw Fang Xiu saluting, and hurriedly said: “There are only servants here, no outsiders, Mr. Fang doesn’t have to be like this.”

It can be seen that the psychological shadow left by Fang Mansion on Zhang Wen is real Not small, it actually made him afraid of Fang Xiu to such an extent that he could almost be said to be groveling.

You know, this is the eunuch who passed the order, but you don’t know, he thought he was a slave bought by a certain aristocratic family. When

Fang Xiu heard this, his expression became a little serious. He glanced at Zhang Wen and said coldly. He said: “We are all Chu ministers, and we should maintain respect for Your Majesty, no matter whether you are present or not.”

Zhang Wen wanted to say something more, but when he saw Fang Xiu’s eyes, he swallowed back the unspoken words, echoed twice, and said: “His Majesty’s instructions are very simple, that is, you should go to the palace to see him. “

After finishing speaking, he seemed to feel that it was a little too perfunctory. He gritted his teeth and added a few words: “I heard that it seems to be related to kites and fireworks.”

Fang Xiu felt a thump in his heart when he heard this.

So quickly, the news about the fireworks had reached Emperor Chu’s ears?

Fortunately for himself, he thought

Fang Xiu sighed, waved his hand, and said, “I understand.”

His mind began to work rapidly now, thinking of what kind of excuse he could use to get over the fireworks issue.

Zhang Wen looked at Fang Xiu and saw that his brows were furrowed. He felt a little panicked, fearing that the big devil would take it out on him.

After waiting for a moment, fortunately, Young Master Fang just sighed and didn’t seem to take it out on himself.

So, after thinking about it, he bravely spoke: “Your Majesty means that if Young Master Fang is free, it is best to go see Your Majesty now.”

Fang Xiu frowned slightly when he heard this.

He knew that Zhang Wen was afraid of him, so what he said must have been artistically processed.

Emperor Chu would never use this tone when ordering others.

If you have time, you should go see him now.

The meaning of this sentence can also be understood as, go see him now, otherwise you will have a good harvest in the future.

What is supposed to come will always come. When I took out this giant firework, I thought that it might be discovered. In the worst case, I would just stop doing it. I might not be able to send people to develop gunpowder into a weapon.

What Nobel can do, I might not be able to send people. Do it.

Anyway, as long as you don’t let yourself go into battle in the end, that’s fine.
