Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty
Chapter 156： Something abnormal is a demon
Chapter 156 If something abnormal is a demon
In Fang Jinglong\'s heart, he was really worried!
For no reason, the Empress Dowager asked her son to celebrate his birthday. Combined with the rumors that flowed out before, Fang Jifan seemed to be helping the Zhang family to deceive the Zhou family.
I\'m afraid, this is a feast without a good feast!
Fang Jifan raised his feet and said, "I don\'t eat porridge anymore, I have to think about buying birthday gifts."
Fang Jinglong nodded regretfully, said oh, and brought Fang Jifan\'s porridge in front of him: "Then don\'t be a pity, I\'ll eat it."
After finishing speaking, he buried his head in the porridge, lowered his head, but still couldn\'t hide the worry on his face.
Something must have happened.
Fang Jifan thought in his heart, although his father sometimes felt melancholy and depressed, he was not as worried as he is today. After all, he is a martial artist, this father has always been careless, only when he encounters matters involving his son occasionally, he will be more delicate, but even so, it is limited.
Anything abnormal is a demon.
Although Fang Jifan didn\'t show his face, when he left the hall, he found Deng Jian and asked, "What happened at home recently?"
Deng Jian asked in surprise, "What, what is it?"
"My father!" Fang Jifan felt that this guy, even if he wasn\'t brain-dead, his IQ was very limited.
"Oh." Deng Jian suddenly realized, then rolled his small eyes, looked at Fang Jifan, pondered for a long time, and then said: "Master, when did you start caring about family affairs?"
"..."
Fang Jifan was silent.
Listen, it seems to make sense...
How could that heartless prodigal in the past suddenly be so concerned about family affairs?
I still underestimated Deng Jian\'s IQ, it seems that I must have misunderstood him, hey...
Fang Jifan sighed.
Isn\'t this just the legend that something abnormal is a demon?
Then Deng Jian tilted his head and thought hard: "Master, I think you are a little abnormal, and you are a little different from before."
This was all shown to him.
Failed!
Fang Jifan sighed in his heart, he was already different from that scumbag in the past, after more than half a year, you still haven\'t come to your senses?
However... People cannot change too quickly, there must be a gradual process, otherwise, the sense of disobedience will be too heavy.
It is impossible for a person to wake up and become a second person, that is a monster.
But people can grow up day by day, grow slowly, and change bit by bit, which is called moistening things silently.
So, it is better not to let Deng Jian feel that he is growing too fast.
Fang Jifan raised his arm and slapped him hard.
Snapped…
The next moment, a palm print appeared on Deng Jian\'s face.
Deng Jian wailed, tears burst out, and he covered his cheeks, grinning in pain.
"Now, is there any problem?" Fang Jifan shouted.
"No, no problem." Deng Jian nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Do you still feel that this young master is abnormal?"
Deng Jian groaned, and lamented with tears streaming down his face: "It\'s... very normal."
No problem.
Dare to feel that I am not normal recently, it is because of your young master, I beat you less.
Look, isn\'t the beating now normal and not normal anymore? The young master is always doing whatever he wants, so he is unpredictable, what\'s wrong with suddenly beating you up, suddenly caring about family affairs, what\'s wrong?
"Okay, now to answer the questions."
Deng Jian is well-informed in Fang\'s house. In fact, as a personal servant, he is the bridge between Fang Jifan and the people in his family. .
It turned out that Fang Jinglong\'s cousin, the woman who married the second son of the Xu family, was angry at her husband\'s house.
The reason why Dad is depressed is because this is someone else\'s family business and he can\'t interfere. Even if he interferes, it will only make his cousin\'s situation worse.
Besides, he probably thinks that the reason why his sister is being bullied is because of himself. If it wasn\'t for the fact that the Fang family\'s family background is not as good as that of the Duke of Qian, how could the women of the Fang family only marry the second son? Well, the housewife of the Mu family in the long room would not dare to do this to his cousin.
In this era of the primogeniture system, the housewife of the Mu family is indeed the head of the Xu family in the future. Fang Jifan, the aunt, can only rely on her breath for her entire life.
Understanding the ins and outs of this matter, Fang Jifan frowned and said: "I also saw my aunt last time, but I saw that she was not warm to me."
After Fang Jifan finished speaking, he couldn\'t help curling his lips. He really didn\'t have a good impression of this aunt, or his father was too sentimental.
Deng Jian seemed hesitant to speak.
Fang Jifan glared at him, and said in a bad tone: "Is your skin itchy? Just fart."
Deng Jian was just looking forward to Ai Ai\'s way.
"Master, I heard from Manager Yang...that Mrs. Xu... Mrs. Xu may not be very warm. Think about it, Master. She is in an awkward situation in the Xu family. If...if she is too close to our Fang family, If there is any trouble with the long house in the future, wouldn\'t it damage the relationship between the Fang family, the Xu family, and the Mu family? Naturally, I don\'t know much about the inside story here, but I think what Manager Yang said makes sense. At the beginning... when Mrs. Xu was a girl, she liked the young master. The young master was still young at that time, and she took you with her all day long and protected you everywhere."
"Oh." Fang Jifan sighed in his heart. He didn\'t expect that so many people\'s sophistication would be involved here. He was still too young and sometimes too naive.
He nodded and said: "Understood, come, help the young master to buy the gift of the Empress Dowager."
Deng Jian\'s eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Master, what gift are you going to give?"
…
Longquan Temple.
Today, the gate of Longquan Guanshan was opened. Zhang Chaoxian arrived at the gate early in the morning, and greeted a Taoist who came all the way from the south to the mountain.
Even Puji Daochun, who had been retreating in Sanqing Pavilion to study scriptures, took a bath early at this time, and then ordered Daotong to wait outside.
The Taoist who went up the mountain stepped into the Sanqing Pavilion. He had white beard and hair, and was over seventy years old. He was wearing a blue Taoist robe, a black Taoist scarf, and green shoes. His eyes quickly fixed on Yu Daochun.
Yu Daochun smiled slightly at him: "Liu Daoyou, nice to meet you."
This man, Daoyou Liu, came from Zhengyi Temple in Longhu Mountain, and was ordered to be a Daoist Daoist. He came to Beijing from Jiangxi this time, but he didn\'t have any pretensions.
Longquan Temple originated from Zhengyi, and Zhengyi is respected by Longhushan Tianshi Mansion. Longhushan Zhengyiguan is one of the eighty-one Taoist temples in Longhushan. The danger at the beginning actually came from this Longhushan Zhengyiguan. This Master Liu originally came from a different family, and has always been in correspondence with him.
Renren Liu nodded towards Yu Daochun, but immediately bowed down, bowed and said, "Xiaodao Liu Tianzheng, I have met Master Uncle."
Although he is a real person, in terms of seniority, he is far inferior to Puji real person in terms of metaphor and Taoism. Wei Dayou only started to accept disciples in his later years, while his senior brother Wang Dashan, as an upright observer, accepted him early Numerous disciples and grandchildren. Therefore, although this Liu Tianzheng is about the same age as Yu Daochun, in terms of origin, he has to call Yu Daochun a master uncle.
In Zhengyi, the most important thing is seniority, so Yu Daochun nodded and accepted his great gift, before he said: "You came to Beijing this time, why are you doing it? Could it be that you have followed the order of the heavenly master?"
Liu Tianzheng said: "It\'s not the order of the celestial master, but Wei Guogong invited Xiaodao to Beijing to give lectures to the Empress Dowager. Wei Guogong took care of Zhengyi in the south of the Yangtze River. But it must be accepted.”
Yu Daochun immediately understood.
Wei Guogong\'s mansion is in Nanjing, which manages Jiangnan affairs, and Zhengyi is deeply rooted in Jiangnan. They have been in contact with each other for a long time. I heard that the birthday of the Empress Dowager is coming. The Empress Dowager respects Taoism. Naturally, I hope that Zhengyi will send someone so that the Empress Dowager will pay special attention to Wei Guogong\'s mansion.
Yu Daochun smiled slightly, unmoved, and said indifferently: "Your Majesty doesn\'t value us very much today, and because of the evil Taoist\'s chaos in the government during the Chenghua period, His Majesty will inevitably feel dissatisfied with Taoists entering the palace without authorization. There is a grudge. Wei Guogong\'s move is not very wise."
Yu Daochun\'s eyes were like seeing fire, showing a bit of unusual shrewdness.
Yes, at this time, Wei Guogong invited Taoists into the palace to celebrate his birthday. Although it may please the Empress Dowager, it may not be liked by His Majesty the Emperor.
Duke Wei\'s move was a bit too much.
Liu Tianzheng said with a smile: "This is a family matter of Duke Wei\'s mansion, and the inside story will not be clear for a while."
After a pause, he still spoke succinctly: "Duke Wei is old, but the eldest son of the Duke\'s family is afraid of his own affairs. That\'s all right, but the eldest wife is jealous. The Duke is quite worried, because he is afraid that after a hundred years, the second son will be punished." Therefore, I hope that the second son can stand up for himself, but it is a pity that the second son is not up to date, so far he is just a commander. This time, the father-in-law ordered the eldest wife and the second wife to enter the palace to celebrate his birthday. His original intention was to hope that the empress dowager would be happy. , can give the second wife the order to be a good person."
Yu Daochun suddenly realized.
This Wei Guogong really took great pains.
The eldest son is unreliable, and the eldest wife has a bad temper.
The second son has no skills, and now he is just a conductor. For ordinary people, a hereditary conductor is naturally great. But for a family background like Duke Wei\'s, it\'s really not worth mentioning, but above the command, if you want to continue to be promoted, you have to be extra merciful from His Majesty.
Although Duke Wei\'s mansion is in the south of the Yangtze River, the more he is outside the Duke, the more cautious he is, and he will never dare to go beyond the rules and promote his son!
Otherwise, once it is passed to the capital and impeached by the censor, it may be suspected by the palace.
It’s just that this second son has no merits and is very mediocre. It’s impossible for Wei Guogong to go and cry with the cheek, asking the emperor to give him grace before he dies.
