Emperor Hongzhi, who hurried into the bedroom, was already shocked, and an unusual luster flashed in his eyes.

...

The next morning, Deng Jian brought bad news to Fang Jifan.

The Duke of England is here.

Deng Jian repeatedly urged Fang Jifan to go to the front hall. Fang Jifan was a little reluctant to go. This Uncle Zhang was eyeing him, and always felt that he regarded himself as a sandbag and wanted to beat him up when he found an opportunity.

But after urging him several times, there was no way, so Fang Jifan had to dress thicker and rushed to the front hall reluctantly.

At this time, in the front hall, the British duke sat down with a breath of tea, saw Fang Jinglong's depressed look, his eyes opened, and then he slapped the table and said angrily: "I'm so angry that I'm so angry, the two bastards of Shouning Hou and Jianchang Bo! Last night, these two guys sent someone to send invitations, saying that they sold a wasteland and made a fortune, and invited everyone to drink. This large wasteland was exchanged for 80,000 taels of silver from your Fang family? Alas, why do you say that, what's the use of getting a wasteland like in the West Mountain? Your family's successor is crazy, right?"

Fang Jinglong's face turned red and he wanted to speak but stopped. Finally, he said: "No matter what, at least he has changed a piece of land. Although it is a little more desolate,..."

"Bad!" Zhang Mao had a bad temper and interrupted Fang Jinglong with a very rude attitude: "Old Fang, you don't know. Zhang Heling, the bastard brothers, have long since heard from the land in Xishan. Not to mention reclamation, planting anything will not be alive. Even if it is used as a cemetery, it is necessary to have wind and water, and this land is not worth a penny. They wanted to sell it before, but no one bought it. Now, this little brat in Jifan actually came to the door on his own initiative. This..."

Fang Jinglong's face was a little unnatural. He knew that there was no way to do this. The money was earned by the followers. Even if it wasn't for him, shouldn't his own money be spent? If he didn't give it to him, who would he spend it?

Zhang Mao was still not satisfied and was still cursing: "No wonder these two bastards were so happy that they didn't know what their surname was, and their tails were all raised to the sky. They said they were drinking and treating each other for eighty tables. Bah... These two shameless things are really ashamed! They have been drinking thirteen times this year. Last time, they said that the dog at home gave birth to a litter of cubs, and they said that they treated it like their own son. When the dog gave birth to a baby, it was as if they had a grandson. So they were so happy that they scattered invitations everywhere and asked people to go to drink."

"What do you think? It's not that these two shameless things want to receive gifts from others! Last time, I ate this wine and spent 100 taels of silver. At the banquet, Zhang Heling's damn thief said he wouldn't drink alcohol. Drinking is harmful to his body. You might as well drink white water. There are only a few dishes on the table, one is pickled radish and the other is cabbage. It's finally a bit meaty, and it's only as big as sand, so I can't even hold the chopsticks. I just vomit blood if I think about it. If it's this, it's fine, guess what happened later? After finishing the wine and collecting the money, these two guys slaughtered the old dog who was treated as his son. After stewing the boiling water, the two brothers hid in the mansion for three days and three nights, and there were not even a few bone residue left. It's really shameless, shameless!"

Fang Jinglong's face turned green when he heard Shouning Hou and Jianchang Bo celebrated the Fang family's land, and he felt that he could not raise his head.

British Duke Zhang Mao looked at Fang Jinglong sympathetically: "So this time, he invited me to go, but I didn't want to give me money, but because he took such a big advantage in your Fang family, he even told me widely. I am an old brother with you, not to mention that we have been acquainted since childhood, and we had a common hardship in the army. So I tore the invitation on the spot and asked someone to report back to me and get away. Others feared that he had a queen from the Zhang family, so I made the stinky stone in the pit and would never deal with them."

Fang Jinglong sighed faintly and said, "The dog son is shameless, ashamed."

The topic suddenly turned to the 'dog son'. Zhang Mao leaned over and looked straight at Fang Jinglong: "To be honest, if you continue like this, Lao Fang, you have to prepare early. Hurry up and find a wife for Fang Jifan of your family. Everyone is good, so hurry up."

"What does this mean..." Fang Jinglong was stunned for a moment: "Actually... there is no need to hurry like this."

"Hurry." Zhang Mao said firmly: "Don't have any delusions."

Fang Jinglong blushed: "Jifan is the first in the school reading after all, and he got the gold belt..."

"It's useless." Zhang Mao waved his hand: "You don't think about it. The reputation of your Jifan is not good at first. Now, the Hou of Shouning and Jianchang have taken advantage of your family and are placing wine everywhere, just saying in front of others that your Fang Jifan is a super fool. Now, there are countless people in Beijing who are making jokes behind their backs. Think about it, if you don't look for a marriage quickly, you will not be able to find it even if you are holding a lantern in the future."

Fang Jinglong was a little suspicious: "No, he is now working in the Zhan Shi Mansion and has a bright future."

Zhang Mao felt that Fang Jinglong was not enlightened and said sternly: "Don't you understand? Lao Fang, Lao Fang, you are so confused. Who is the current emperor? That is the most benevolent, righteous, polite and trustworthy! A notorious person who is laughing at the capital, but he sold himself to others to count the money. Will Your Majesty still promote him? Not to mention that he won the gold belt and won the top scorer, so what? If he promoted him, would the court still have the face? In the eyes of all the people in the world, wouldn't Your Majesty become foolish and incompetent, and has no eyes? Otherwise, how could he be promoted to such a fool? You are still thinking about his future. Do you believe it or not? In a few days, a decree will come down and Jifan will have to be arranged by the palace to go to the right guard of Yongqing and let him guard the ancestral tomb."

Fang Jinglong was immediately struck by lightning after hearing Zhang Mao's words.

He hadn't figured out many things before, but now when he heard Zhang Mao's analysis, he immediately understood. Yes, everyone knows these Zhang brothers. It would be fine if they didn't know in the palace. If they knew, it would be useless to have a gold belt. If they didn't kick the right guard of Yongqing, the emperor's grandson, the emperor's grandson, even if the ancestors accumulated virtue, what future would they have?

Thinking of this, Fang Jinglong felt sad and cried out, "What a sin I did..." As he said that, he slapped himself hard on the face, and a crisp sound, and said, "It's all my fault, I blame me, I have no way to teach my children..."

After slapping himself several times, Fang Jinglong's face turned red. Zhang Mao hurriedly stopped him: "Don't, Lao Fang, why are you so wronged yourself? You are not blamed? Jifan, why haven't this dog come yet? I know that I have come to the mansion, so he won't come to pay a visit?"

In fact, Fang Jifan had arrived a long time ago, and he only eavesdropped on the side of the door and did not dare to go in. It is said that the British Duke was very good at riding and shooting kung fu when he was a teenager, and his fists were also powerful. Didn’t he die when he went there?

But at this moment, he heard Zhang Maosheng yelling trembling with rubble: "This boy who is not a little polite, where is his residence? I personally brought him up without discounting his legs. It is really hard to get out of this anger."

"Uh..." This is a bit embarrassing.

Fang Jifan didn't dare to hesitate anymore, so he quickly flashed out from the side of the door and said, "Here, come, see the deceased uncle, good deceased uncle."

As soon as Zhang Mao saw Fang Jifan, he became angry and said sternly: "It's just right here, come here."

Fang Jifan smiled and said, "I can't go, Zhang Shibo, I'm sick, I'm brain disease..."

"You're so crazy, you are a bad guy who hates ghosts!" After all, Zhang Mao is a Duke and has his own majesty: "If you don't cause any trouble, you will make people laugh at your Fang family behind your back, so that your father can't raise his head to see people. Will you be itchy all over? If you don't beat you up, you won't be cured."

Fang Jifan said in surprise: "Where are you laughing at me?"

Zhang Mao was angry and said angrily: "You are so embarrassed to say that the entire capital is making fun of you behind the scenes, and you dare to argue. I will teach you how to be a human being today so that you will not be a cross-border rat in this capital and will lose your father's face!"

As he said that, he rolled up his sleeves directly.
