Chapter 25

The rain in early autumn makes people melancholy, and the mountains in the distance are shrouded in fog, just like a fairyland.

Fang Xing stood by the window and listened to Fang Jielun's recent news.

"... young master, the flower lady who went shopping today was beaten."

"How about the flower mother? Where did they move their hands?"

It was within Fang Xing's expectation, but he didn't expect that Qin Mengxue's people would actually start with a woman, which made him re understand the bottom line of doing things in this era.

Fang Jielun said angrily, "Hua Niang's face has been beaten and swollen. Young master, I'm afraid the family is going to eat worse these days."

The meaning of this remark is clear, that is to say, the flower mother has to rest for a few days, and going out to buy can only be suspended.

"Never mind. I still have some vegetables and meat here. I can hold on for ten days and a half months."

Fang Xing said carelessly and took out a tube of ointment.

"Give this to Hua Niang twice a day. It's fast. Also, give five Liang silver to Hua Niang so that she can have a good rest."

"Yes, young master."

Fang Jielun was very pleased. Although Fang Xing didn't give a solution, he didn't panic, and comforted the injured flower mother in time.

After Fang Jielun left, Fang Xingxing found that he had pinched the brush in his hand.

"Pa!"

……

Some people in fangjiazhuang are in a panic these days, because Jay Fang has sent a message that everyone is not allowed to go out, and the missing daily necessities are directly collected in the main courtyard.

Although it doesn't cost money to get some oil and salt, in this situation, the farmers have to worry that the good life that hasn't been long is over again.

"Husband, is it..."

Zhang Shuhui is worried, while Xiaobai believes Fang Xing unconditionally.

"It's all right. Let's eat."

Fang Xing took a piece of chicken breast to Zhang Shuhui, and then said easily, "listen to them. Recently, several habitual bandits came out of Liangxiang. Hua Niang was beaten by them. We'd better be careful."

Xiaobai was a little flustered. "Young master, those Mongolian Tartars used to sneak into the border. Several villages in Shunyi have been washed!"

The so-called "washing" means that the whole village is cleaned up and at least half of the people have to die.

Zhang Shuhui said in some confusion, "but I heard that since the emperor's expedition to the grassland the year before last, those horse bandits have quietly looked for traces. How can there be any more!"

Fang Xing put down his chopsticks, raised his hand and pulled down the rice grains stuck on Xiaobai's face, and then slowly scooped up the soup. "I think it's probably that life on the grassland is not very easy. This poverty will change. Those people are used to being bandits, and they always think they get it faster."

"Then hit them!"

Xiaobai holds chopsticks and stares at apricot eyes.

"Eat your meal and go to bed early at night. Be careful to catch a cold."

Zhang Shuhui's words made Xiaobai blush, and then she bowed her head to eat.

After dinner, Fang Xing asked curiously, "what's the matter with Xiaobai?"

Xiaobai will be shy. This discovery makes Fang Xing forget the crisis he is about to face.

Zhang Shuhui also blushed and refused to tell the reason.

"Is it..."

Fang Xing held the tea cup, looked up and opened his brain hole, and countless thoughts flashed in an instant.

"No... but she's still young!"

Zhang Shuhui was worried as soon as she heard it, because Fang Xing's attitude towards Xiaobai was a little casual, and she had already made it clear that she would not round the house with Xiaobai before she was 16, so Zhang Shuhui also regarded the innocent Xiaobai as a sister who didn't know the world, so

When she went to bed at night, Zhang Shuhui said the reason and immediately woke Fang up so surprised that she forgot to continue her action.

The next morning, when washing in the yard, Fang Xing always stared at Xiaobai.

Xiaobai half squinted vaguely and brushed his teeth. When he found Fang Xing's eyes, he asked strangely, "young master, why do you look at me like this?"

"Nothing. I just think you're in good spirits today."

After Fang woke up and hesitated, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighed: "were the ancients so precocious?"

After breakfast, Fang Xing went to inspect as usual. When he came to the village, he saw countless confused eyes.

Although Fang Xing temporarily stabilized the farmers with the excuse of horse bandits, the paper can't cover the fire after all. If the blockade is prolonged, these farmers will have problems sooner or later.

Back in the main courtyard, before entering the door, Fang woke up and said to Xin Laoqi, "go home and get ready. Go out with me in the evening. Um... Be ready."

"Yes, young master."

Although he didn't know Fang Xing's intention, Xin Laoqi habitually didn't think about it and went home to prepare things.

As for what it is, it depends on what you're doing out tonight.

Then Fang woke up and called the housekeeper, took out a post and explained, "I'll go out in the evening. If I don't come back before dawn, you'll tell Mrs. Shao and take them to Chen Xiao immediately, okay?"

Fang Jielun took over the post and didn't understand it, so he objected: "young master, we can report to the official!"

But even Jay Fang doesn't believe this. The other party is shuntianfu pushing officials, which is not the most important. The key is

"The king of Han Dynasty is very proud recently. It is said that even the emperor's grandson was almost beaten by him..."

Afraid of frightening the loyal old family, Fang woke up and said, "we are just grass mustard. Once we annoy the king of Han Dynasty, fangjiazhuang, including everyone... Will no longer exist!"

By now, Fang Xing no longer believes in the so-called "trade route". If it is just for this non-existent trade route, Chang Yao can take coercive measures and directly arrest himself on the charge of "smuggling overseas".

You know, pushing officials is equivalent to the president of the court, and is an official integrating trial and judgment.

Although the pushing officer can only judge the charges below the stick punishment, once he is caught, he will die if he drinks cold water!

"I don't want to do push ups! Come on!"

……

Today's dinner was very rich. Fang Xing personally cooked braised beef. In the surprised eyes of Zhang Shuhui and Xiaobai, he took the lead in eating and then went to the inner room.

"Young master, what's the matter?"

Xiaobai asked somewhat puzzled.

Zhang Shuhui reluctantly smiled, "maybe I'm tired these days."

Xiaobai's face turned red as soon as he heard this.

But Zhang Shuhui could not care about these at this time. She put down her chopsticks and followed in.

As soon as she entered, Zhang Shuhui saw Fang Xing fiddling with a strange bag. This bag has two bags. It seems that it should be used for carrying on the back.

When Fang woke up and heard the footsteps, he turned back and said, "Shuhui, don't worry, I'm just going out tonight."

"What are you doing out there?!"

Zhang Shuhui's face turned white. She grabbed Fang Xing's hand as she was about to zip up her backpack and said, "isn't there a horse bandit? Why are you going out?"

Fang woke up and looked at the worry on her face, patted her little hand and comforted: "I'm not alone, and Xin Laoqi. With his skill, don't you rest assured?"
