"How did Chang Yao die?"
Fang Xing felt a layer of sweat on his back.
Chang Yao is an official in Shuntian Prefecture, which is equivalent to the president of the court of a municipality directly under the central government. This man usually looks strong and healthy, and he hasn't heard of any hidden diseases.
Who could it be? Fang Xing had a headache, but he didn't see Xin Laoqi's strange expression.
"Young master, after I heard the news, I went to Chang's house to inquire. As a result, I heard that Chang Yao was fine that morning, but he died after breakfast."
Fang Xing and Xin Laoqi looked at each other, "is that the day you went to deliver the letter?"
"Yes, that morning."
Fang Xing waved Xin Laoqi back, but he was a little complacent.
"This is a letter. Let a pusher hang himself. It's no worse than Zhuge Liang!"
The letter was sent by Fang Xing to Xin Laoqi. The original intention was to delay Chang Yao and make plans after handing over the assassins to Zhu Zhanji.
But who would have thought that Zhu Zhanji had gone back to Jinling with the prince? Fang woke up at that time and felt some claws. Now it was refreshing.
But what about the assassins?
Fang woke up and scratched his head, but Fang Jielun, who knew the news, came up with an idea.
"Young master, no one can find out about selling them to those traffickers."
Fang Xing asked, "who are the traffickers? Where can they be sold?"
Fang Jielun's face showed a cruel color. If he had not been cruel in the three years of filial piety, he would have been swallowed by Fang Jiazhuang long ago.
"Young master, I heard that there is a family that specializes in dealing with the private affairs of big families. After they buy people, they will immediately put medicine and poison dumb, and then send them to the mine..."
Those big families have some shady things. Of course, people should be cautious in dealing with them, so it gave birth to such a profession.
Fang Xing hesitated a little, but thought that those people came with the purpose of their own lives, and finally agreed to the treatment plan.
Fang Jielun greeted Xin Laoqi and disappeared with his servants.
It is Fang Jielun's wish that thieves should not stay in the villa for the new year.
After Fang Jielun left, Fang woke up for a long time and was stunned until Xiaobai informed him that he was going to prepare something for ancestor worship. Then he shook his head and walked out of the study.
The north is the first day of the lunar new year. If conditions are good, we have to prepare three animals, so we have to start preparing from today.
Fang woke up and didn't understand. Zhang Shuhui was also a novice. At least he didn't find the feeling until Fang Jielun came back.
"How tired!"
The dinner was very rich, because Fang woke up before the Lunar New Year's Eve, so although the dishes tonight are not dazzling, they are very real.
A copper pot was placed on the carbon stove, and the Milky soup bottom was steaming.
The hollowed out square table was full of meat and vegetables. Fang woke up and took a few pieces of mutton in. He said, "you two hurry. This piece of mutton is not delicious when it's old."
Zhang Shuhui and Xiaobai each put their favorite vegetables into the pot. After they were hot and cooked, they ate them with seafood sauce. They felt very delicious.
Mutton slices into his mouth, Fang woke up and took a sip of wine. Looking at the wife and concubine opposite Ruo Taohua, he felt a little drunk.
"Husband, you can't eat meat alone."
Zhang Shuhui took a piece of boiled soft waxy potato chips and put them in Fang Xing's bowl. When she saw that Xiaobai was also jealous, she smiled and gave her one.
This is still a child who hasn't grown up!
After dinner, the family went to bed early.
……
Early the next morning, before dawn, fangjiazhuang was boiling, and all families began to worship their ancestors.
Under the guidance of Jay Fang, Fang Xing and Zhang Shuhui used three animals to worship their ancestors and cut straw paper. Finally, they completed the ceremony.
These three animals will be kept for three days and then burned into ash, which is probably the same as the later paper money, thinking that they can be sent to their ancestors.
Then in the front yard, Fang Xingduan sat in a chair, led by Fang Jielun, and the farmers of fangjiazhuang paid a new year's call to Fang Xingduan's master.
Fang woke up, nodded, called everyone, and then said with a smile, "I also wish you a happy new year and a bumper harvest in the new year."
Then there were servants and servant girls. This time even Zhang Shuhui was present.
After paying New Year's greetings, Zhang Shuhui took out the red envelopes prepared last night and sent one to each person.
"Well, I'm going out to pay New Year's greetings, and I'll bring you good things back."
Fang woke up and saw that Zhang Shuhui and Xiaobai were in a bad mood, so he let them sleep back. As for compliance with the rules, he is the boss of the family. Everything he says is the rules.
The rule in the north is to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year. When you meet your elders in the street, you should kneel down in the street to pay New Year's greetings.
Fortunately, Fang Xing only needed to go to one family, so he rode a big white horse and entered Beiping city under the escort of Xin Laoqi.
Chen Xiao's family lives in the official district. Although they don't look at it now, when the capital moves to Beiping mansion, the land here will appreciate by somersault.
At the gate, when the porter saw that it was Fang Xing, he didn't even use the new year's register. He directly asked Fang Xing to go in with Xin Laoqi and asked someone to lead the horse and feed a good meal.
Fang Xing smiled and threw a silver corner directly. Then he took a big wooden box in Xin Laoqi's hand and laboriously carried it in.
"Thank you, childe Fang!"
The concierge is also interesting, because today is the first day of junior high school, so there is no taboo for him to collect rewards.
Fang Xing, who was familiar with the way, came to the backyard and just saw Chen Xiao's mother Ma Ma coming. He put the wooden box on the ground and bowed down to pay New Year's greetings.
Mahalanobis was startled by Fang who suddenly appeared. After seeing it clearly, he pretended to be angry and said, "you boy, don't come at ordinary times. You're here to ask for a reward at this time!"
Fang Xing straightened up with a smile and said, "that's right, but my aunt has prepared a big ingot for me?"
Hearing Fang Xing's interesting words, even the servant girl holding Ma couldn't help smiling.
"You boy, hurry in. Your uncle hasn't gone out yet!"
As the general judge of Shuntian mansion, Chen Jiahui had to pay a new year's call to Shangguan today, so when he saw Fang Xing coming in with a wooden box, he frowned and said, "what's that?"
Fang Xing pretended not to see Chen Xiao winking at the side, opened the wooden box and said, "my nephew has prepared some food, which can be regarded as filial piety to my uncle and aunt."
As soon as Ma listened, he took a look. As a result, he didn't know many things.
Fang Xing said, "this is foie gras sauce. It's best for holding steamed bread."
fuck! If later people knew that Fang Xing used foie gras sauce to hold steamed bread, they would have to despise it.
"This is hairy crab. You can steam it with water and dip it in ginger vinegar. Even your aunt can eat it."
"This is a salted duck. Uncle is the best for drinking."
"This is..."
Chen Jiahui and Ma Ma are relatively speechless, thinking where did Fang Xing get the ingredients?
Ma was the first to wake up. She smiled and said, "well, your uncle is not at home at noon. Let's have dinner together."
Fang Xing hurriedly said, "there's one more thing to tell my uncle and aunt. I'm going to the capital in years."
