Chapter 42: I'm Prettier Than Me and Dare to Steal Fish
The kingfisher chirped and flew lightly across the river, splashing a string of ripples.
Fang Xing rode a horse for the first time, and was led by Xin Laoqi in a trembling manner, slowly strolling by the river.
"Master, why don't you ride on the main road?"
Xin Laoqi felt that the road by the river was too narrow and a little uneven.
Fang Xing sat upright on the horse's back and said in a good mood: "What do you know? What if the horse is shocked on the road?"
I walked slowly and waited until I woke up and felt a little uncomfortable on my butt and inner thighs.
The willows in front of me are rosy. Early in the morning, but there are already people fishing by the river.
Fang woke up and then slipped over and took a look.
Fishermen like to look at other people’s fish baskets the most. If there are fewer fish, their sense of superiority will arise naturally. If there are too many fish, they will feel sad.
With a thud, the fish basket was lifted up, and there were three fish inside, all of which were half a pound.
"Oh! Isn't this Brother Fang?"
Fang Xing was stunned and turned to look, and realized that this person was not from Fangjiazhuang.
"Who, who are you?"
Fang Xing was a little unhappy. The river close to Fangjiazhuang was his resource. There was a fish and a shrimp inside. But this person actually rushed here. Is it intentional?
The man was dressed in silk, sword-like eyebrows, starry eyes, and tall figure. Compared with him, Fang Xing became a foil character.
The man stood up and smiled and said, "Little brother Li Mao, he is a neighbor with Brother Fang."
"Neighbor?"
Fang Xing looked at the farm on the right and said unexpectedly: "But Lord Li's family?"
The man bowed and said, "My younger brother Li Mao, my father is the governor of Shuntian Prefecture."
Fang woke up and looked at the fish basket with some surprise.
Seeing Fang Xing not speaking, Li Mao smiled and said, "Brother Fang, you are taking the liberty to come to your house today. I wonder if you can disturb a cup of tea?"
Tea, you sister!
Fang Xing shook his head and said lightly: "Sorry, I still have some things here, I've neglected it."
After saying that, he turned around and left. Xin Laoqi led the horse behind and said in a muffled voice: "This is Fangjiazhuang."
"Yes! This is Fangjiazhuang."
Li Mao said with a smile, and then he quickly put the fish in the fish basket.
He is a smart person, but Fang Xing is unwilling to deal with such a person.
When Fang Xing got home, he asked Jay Fang and asked about the Li family.
"No friendship."
Jay Fang has been training two servants to allocate to him these days, so he is very busy.
"No friendship?"
Fang Xing touched his bare chin and said with some speculation: "Is this guy a purpose?"
No matter what purpose, Jay Fang said a little unhappy: "Young Master, when you got married, I sent an invitation."
"Didn't come? Or is there a gift!"
Fang Xing felt that everyone was a neighbor, so there must be the same.
Jielun Fang's head shaking and said disdainfully: "At that time, Mr. Zhang's house gave him ten taels of silver, but the Li family? Humph! Just take this as nothing!"
Fang Xing said angrily: "Then he dares to go to Fangjiazhuang to fish? Lao Qi!"
Xin Laoqi ran in immediately, and Fang Xing ordered: "Go and see. If that Li Mao is still there, drive him away!"
Xin Laoqi took the people there immediately. He thought Li Mao was too overly handsome than his young master, but he even dared to come and steal fish. It was so cruel!
But when Xin Laoqi arrived by the river, he found that only one fishing rod was left, and even the fish basket was there.
"Checked!"
Xin Laoqi felt that it was normal to confiscate the stolen tools.
Fang Xing was so pleased to learn that Li Mao had left, so he decided to check out the situation in the village.
Behind him were two servants, with colorful crops in his eyes. Fang Xing felt peace in his heart and even forgot about the resentment he had just now.
Better than me, you dare to steal fish, and you are trying to die!
The farmers were very obedient. They were planted with peppers on the vacant land at this time, and in those corners, the cabbage was already very thick.
The half-blue and half-red peppers looked like flowers. Fang Xing smiled and said to Ma Su who was following him: "After harvesting, you can dry them into dried peppers or make kimchi with cabbage, so that we will have vegetables to eat in winter."
Ma Su touched the pepper and felt that his teacher knew everything and could turn foreign plants into condiments.
"Huh!"
Fang Xing looked around and found that Zhu Zhanji was not there, so he asked, "Where is that Taishun?"
Fang Xing is not going to change his name at the moment, otherwise he really doesn't know what he should call him.
Crown Prince?
In that case, he would rather drive that guy out of Fangjiazhuang than be respectful all day long.
Ma Su scratched his head and said, "He said he wanted to go to the city to do something and come back later."
Zhang Taishun has been a little busy recently, probably to help his father, the Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi of the Ming Dynasty.
As he was talking about Zhu Zhanji, he saw a horse rushing over quickly. When he was about to wait, he realized that it was this guy.
Zhu Zhanji got out of the horse and got off the horse. Before he could speak, Fang Xing smiled and said, "Which girl from which family are you chasing you?"
Zhu Zhanji held the horse whip and said angrily: "As soon as I arrived at the gate of the village, I was stopped by the son of some governor. I was so angry that I almost whipped him a few times."
Fang Xing smiled, but he knew in his heart that Zhu Zhanji was not that kind of cruel person, so...
Li Mao, numb! You dare to say bad things about me, you wait!
Zhu Zhanji's anger came quickly and went quickly. He looked at the red pepper and asked happily: "Brother Dehua, can you collect it now?"
Fang Xing didn't know much, but he pretended to say, "You have to wait a moment. You can collect it when the peppers are red."
Zhu Zhanji's eyes flashed, "Brother Dehua, can this kind of pepper be supplied to the army? I think everyone on Jiubian needs this thing to keep the cold."
Fang Xing said reluctantly: "Of course, as long as the subsequent scale is increased, you can just send the seeds."
Zhu Zhanji thought Fang Xing was a hermit with noble character, so he didn't talk about money at all.
However, rewards and punishments are clearly essential qualities for future emperors, so Zhu Zhanji said with a headache: "Brother Dehua, but you don't want to be an official, what should I do?"
Fang Xing was carrying his hands behind his back and kneaded the clothes on his back into a ball of sauerkraut.
At that time, I thought I had no backer! That was why I didn’t dare to become an official. If I had known your identity as a guy, I would be afraid of a bird!
However, he would not do anything to regret, so he pretended to be calm and gentle, "It is not righteous and rich and noble, and it is like a cloud to me!"
This guy pretends very well, at least Zhu Zhanji has a look of admiration.
"Brother Dehua, don't worry, this is your credit. If anyone dares to rob, I will be the first to refuse!"
Fang Xing's hand loosened, and he pretended to say, "Why do you have to do it? I am a commoner, not seeking knowledge, but just seeking peace of mind."
