Shaowei mansion stands quietly in the imperial city without disturbing anyone. Chen Fang didn't have any banquet guests, but the wonderful thing is that on the day of the founding of the people's Republic of China, many dignitaries came to give gifts.
LAN Tianji and Wei Wuji will not come naturally. Instead, Wen Hou sent a gift.
These dignitaries send people to give gifts, and then they leave without leaving for dinner. In the evening, Chen Fang counted the gifts, which were really valuable.
Qiao Ning said with a smile: "the emperor's attitude towards you is vague, but these high officials and noble people will not easily make enemies. Gift represents a heart, we are willing to sell a good. If the emperor doesn't need you in the future, then forget it. If you're red, there's a friendship ahead. "
Chen Fang also understood this reason. He said with a smile, "I'm a rude man. I didn't expect that I could be an official in my life."
As a matter of fact, Chen Fang knows a lot of truth, and he is very proficient in array, eight trigrams and so on. He can easily grasp the geometric equations of the array. But in reality, if you really give him an equation to solve it, he is absolutely stupid.
In the vast world, the age of science and technology. What we pay attention to is modern high-tech talents, especially in the appointment of officials. Academic qualifications are the absolute evaluation index. As far as Chen Fang's education is concerned, it is impossible to be an official. In troubled times, it's possible.
So at the moment, Chen Fang has some feelings.
In the evening, Lin Bo, the housekeeper, counted, collected and recorded all the gifts, and then handed them to Chen Fang for a look. At the same time, Lin Bo arranged two servant girls to serve Chen Fang and Qiao Ning. They are Biyue and Bitao. Bi Yue serves Chen Fang, Bi Tao serves Qiao Ning.
Chen Fang chooses two particularly good bedrooms for himself and Qiao Ning. With such a decoration, Qiao Ning likes Shaowei house.
Qiao Ning said: "I have my own cave on ice lake island, but it's just me and Mingyue girl. After Mingyue girl died, I was alone. It's not fun to be in your Shaowei mansion. "
Chen Fang was slightly stunned, and then said: "after Mingyue's death, are you very sad?"
As soon as Qiao Ning's face sank, she said, "Mingyue has been following me since she was a child. Her death is a great blow to me."
Chen Fang said, "I'm sorry."
Qiao Ning looked at Chen Fang and said, "why do you say I'm sorry? I don't believe your character will kill Mingyue. "
Chen Fang said: "Mingyue was not killed by me, but at that time, I could save Mingyue. But I'm greedy for your thunder Fu, so I watch Lingkun kill Mingyue. Miss Qiao, I'm sorry. If it's now, I'll fight to protect the moon. "
"I don't blame you." Qiao Ning said: "at that time, you and I didn't know each other, which is normal. You don't owe me anything, and you don't owe Mingyue anything. It's just that I owe Mingyue. "
"That Ling Kun has been killed by me." Chen Fang said.
"I know." Said Qiao Ning.
Chen Fang suddenly said: "Miss Qiao, promise me something, OK?"
Qiao Ning looked at Chen Fang strangely and said, "what?"
Chen Fang said, "don't die. I can't accept that people around me leave me any more." When he said this, there was a flash of sadness in his eyes.
The accident of ling'er, the death of Chen feirong, and the death of Luoning, all kinds of blows deeply make Chen Fang feel sad, and feel that this fate is too sad.
Chen Fang couldn't help but ask, "is my luck really good? My father killed my mother. What's the point? The people I love and the people who love me die and are hurt. What is the purpose of this? "
Joe was stunned. For a moment, the softest thing in her heart was touched by Chen Fang's words. She saw Chen Fang's injury and pain with her own eyes, so she deeply understood the meaning of Chen Fang's words.
"Good!" Qiao Ning light shallow smile, say: "I promise you."
Chen Fang also a smile, said: "a deal."
"It's a deal!"
Late at night, a special guest came to Shaowei mansion. This person is not others, but Nie Meiniang who has not seen her for a long time.
Nie Meiniang was dressed in black. She was haggard.
Chen Fang meets Nie Meiniang in his study. Nie Meiniang was very quiet and had few words. Chen Fang asked Biyue to make hot tea.
"Are you all right?" Chen Fang asked softly.
Nie Meiniang looked up at Chen Fang and said, "the young master has been punished by the marquis. He can't leave the hall of meditation for three years."
Chen Fang was stunned, then laughed and said, "this is good news."
Nie Meiniang also smiles, but she doesn't say much.
Chen Fang said, "do you plan to stay in Hou's residence all the time?"
Nie Meiniang said: "there is no second way to go, isn't there?" She paused and said, "you are doomed this time. I don't have your good luck. If I leave Hou Fu, I will die."
Chen Fang was silent. He really has no way to accept Nie Meiniang to Shaowei mansion. Because Nie Meiniang is really a member of the Hou family. Is it possible for the members of the Hou family to come to Shaowei family? LAN Tianji can intervene or kill Nie Meiniang.Chen Fang then said, "if you come to Shaowei mansion tonight, it won't bring you any trouble, will it?"
Nie Meiniang said: "it doesn't matter. The big deal is to die! But as a friend, I'll come to see if it's not. "
Chen Fang said sincerely: "thank you!" After a pause, he said, "if I have a chance, I will help you out of Hou's house. But at that time, I don't know if you would like to leave the Houfu. "
Nie Meiniang looked at Chen Fang, and she said, "Why are you so nice to me?"
Chen Fang said, "is there any other explanation besides that we are friends?"
Nie Meiniang said with a smile, "yes, there is no other explanation." After a pause, she said, "I've brought you a present." She said and took out a small brocade box.
Chen Fang took it. He was puzzled and said, "what is it? "
Nie Meiniang said," after I leave, you can see it again. "
Chen Fang was slightly stunned, and then said, "good!"
Nie Meiniang said: "I know that you are not a good person. He never treats me as a real person. It's a tool at most. If you use it well, you can make him smile. If you don't use it properly, you can throw it away at any time. "
Chen Fang was surprised and said, "since you understand, why..."
"My life is given by my master." Nie Meiniang said: "when my family was slaughtered by my enemies, it was my son who saved me and avenged me. My life is not my own. I can only repay my son with death. "
Chen Fang was silent.
Everyone has his own rules in mind. He can't say Nie Meiniang is wrong.
Then Nie Meiniang left.
Chen Fang opened the brocade box given by Nie Meiniang, but inside it was a black bead, only half the size of an egg. The black beads are very round.
The black beads were black. Chen Fang can't help but wonder what this is?
He took the black bead in his hand and looked at it for a moment, but he couldn't feel anything. Besides, even mana can't get in.
"Shit, what the hell?" Chen Fang was surprised.
Even if it's a diamond, Chen Fang's mana can penetrate it and instantly decompose the molecules inside.
Sometimes, we encounter powerful magic tools. There will be forces inside that keep the mana out. But it's strange that you can't get in at all.
Chen Fang is so curious that he wants to ask Nie Meiniang. What is this black bead. But he is not easy to ask, because Nie Meiniang's identity is too sensitive.
Chen Fang naturally knows that the black beads are not ordinary. He thinks about it. It's late tonight. Let's talk about it tomorrow.
The next morning, Chen Fang showed Qiao Ning the black beads.
Qiao Ning also faced the same embarrassment, even if it is her mana also can't penetrate.
Qiao Ning said: "I don't know what kind of structure this black bead is. It's very strange. I've never seen it before. However, the Tianchi pavilion has great powers. You can ask the Tianchi Pavilion. "
Chen Fang said: "Tianchi Pavilion is greedy. If this black pearl is really a treasure, they must find a way to get it away for me."
Qiao Ning said: "you can use the identity of a friend to find Xu Yanran."
Chen Fang thought about it and said, "yes, I'll go to find Xu Yanran."
Just as Chen Fang was about to leave Shaowei house, a eunuch came quickly outside. When the eunuch arrived, he broke into Shaowei house all the way. Jia Xu of Shaowei mansion didn't dare to stop him.
"The imperial edict is here, general Shaowei, come out to receive it When the eunuch came in, he cried out.
This eunuch was not the last eunuch. Chen Fang didn't know him.
However, Chen Fang did not dare to neglect the imperial edict. In this case, Qiao Ning will not come out. She doesn't like to kowtow to anyone, including the emperor.
Chen Fang led a group of Xu, housekeeper and so on to kneel down to receive the order.
The eunuch launched the imperial edict, then said: "heaven, the emperor said. I heard that there was a locust disaster in Linxi County. The victims were everywhere and the people were in dire straits. There are also taishangjiao who take the opportunity to make trouble, bewitch the victims, gather bandits, and intend to fight against our great health. Which can be tolerated or which can not be tolerated? I order general Chen Fang of Shaowei and major general LAN Tingyu of Zhenyuan to go to the military headquarters to lead the soldiers' amulet and escort the grain, grass and silver to Linxi County for disaster relief and pacification
Chen Fang said, "I accept the order!"
Then, Chen Fang received the edict, and the eunuch did not say much, so he left immediately.
When the eunuch left, Qiao Ning came out immediately.
Chen Fang waved the crowd away. He said to Qiao Ning with some depression, "you heard me just now."
"That's right," said Qiao Ning
Chen Fang said, "the emperor asked me to go with LAN Tingyu to relieve the disaster and put an end to the chaos. What does that mean? Doesn't he know that LAN Tingyu and I are not at peace? "
Qiao Ning said: "this is the emperor testing you and giving you pressure. If this time, LAN Tingyu completely over you, or you over LAN Tingyu. Both of you will feel very bad. As for the result, it depends on your ability. "
