Sometimes he frowned and thought hard, sometimes he gritted his teeth. Fang Yingwu's expression kept changing, just like the clouds in the sky. No one knew what he was thinking.
Looking in Liu Mianhua's eyes, he just felt very puzzled. What is there to figure out? "It's so rare and strange. Isn't this a very common thing? Even if someone else is a eunuch marrying a wife, what are you thinking about? You should think first.
Just think about getting married at home!
Although there are a lot of things going on recently, please don’t delay the renovation of your house. We will get married in August when the autumn weather is crisp, so I have to treat my lovely daughter badly. I will go and take a look when I have some free time!"
Fang Yingwu came to his senses and replied: "My son-in-law knows, but please don't worry, Old Taishan! We have always let Wang Ying, a capable family member, supervise the work. Money is not an issue and we can't delay the time!"
Finally, Liu Mianhua ordered again: "Don't forget, you are relatively familiar with Eunuch Wang, so you can send me a generous gift in a low-key manner! A eunuch who is a ceremonial eunuch is different from other eunuchs and is worthy of doing so."
On the next day, Fang Yingwu finally couldn't bear it anymore and went out to Lady He's Restaurant outside Dong'an Gate. Some of the things he said were really unpleasant.
At this time, there were no customers in the restaurant, and business was still bleak. The female shopkeeper, Mrs. He, was sitting behind the counter with her chin propped up in boredom, looking aimlessly at the passers-by outside.
Suddenly seeing Fang Yingwu flashing in, Madam He's eyes immediately lit up like candles, becoming extremely bright. However, Madam He did not come out from the counter to greet her, she just said hello with a coquettish smile: "
Visitors are rare, Master Fang hasn’t come to visit my family for several days.”
After Fang Yingwu came closer, he put his hand on the counter out of habit and said half-testing and half-complaining: "Looking at Mr. Wang's recent temper, what are you doing here?"
Mrs. He touched Fang Yingwu's hand and said with a playful smile: "If there is no Mr. Wang, there is still a slave family. The master of the slave family has always been obedient."
Fang Yingwu was already immune to Madam He's charm. He pinched her mercilessly, tilted his head and said, "Go inside and talk!"
When they went to the backyard, Fang Yingwu didn't mess around. Instead, he asked about business seriously: "Can Mr. Wang come over today?"
Mrs. He replied: "It's hard to say. Mr. Wang has just ascended the throne and is different from the past."
Fang Yingwu asked again: "What's the difference?"
Lady He thought for a while and replied: "It turns out that Mr. Wang only needs to take time to go to the palace to pay his respects to the queen, and spends most of the time wandering outside the palace; but now, she always goes to sit with the Chief of Ceremonies, and that time is
I can’t say for sure.”
Fang Yingwu sneered: "This Mr. Wang said he became a eunuch and eunuch. His main focus is still on the East Factory. How different can it be from the past?"
Madam He then explained for Wang Zhi: "The first thing a new official needs to do when he takes office is that since he takes on the title of Chief of Ceremonies and Eunuch, he must establish his prestige in the Chief of Ceremonies. Mr. Fang doesn't understand this.
stop?"
Fang Yingwu changed the subject again and asked: "I heard that Mr. Wang is getting married? Who is he with?"
Speaking of this situation, Mrs. He couldn't help but laugh a few times. "Mr. Wang didn't send someone to tell you? It should be with Mrs. Sun, who is destined. Mr. Fang is heartbroken? It's nothing, there is still a slave family."
Guessing is one thing, and Fang Yingwu can only laugh and cry; but getting confirmation is another thing. When he heard that his food was about to be eaten, Fang Yingwu couldn't help but yelled: "What the hell is she doing! A dead eunuch."
, No, what kind of wife does a woman marry? Are you showing it to me? "
Madam He was dumbfounded for a moment when she saw the scholar swearing. But when she came back to her senses, she found Fang Yingwu's reaction very interesting. She laughed a few more times. "There are also many eunuchs who marry wives, especially the first-class ones.
Which of the great eunuchs does not marry his wife outside the palace?
If Mr. Wang enters the Bureau of Ceremonies, buys a house outside the palace, and marries a wife, all of these must be pompous. He will also have to raise a son in the future, otherwise he will be laughed at."
Fang Yingwu knew that what Mrs. He said was correct. It was common for eunuchs to do this. But Wang Zhi...
After that, Fang Yingwu lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said to Madam He: "You have always been good at guessing people's hearts. Why do you think Mr. Wang always seems so uncooperative recently?"
This was not easy to answer. Madam He said very cautiously: "Master Fang's question has put the slave family in a difficult position. It's easy to displease both parties. Master Fang, you yourself are an expert at guessing people's hearts, so why bother asking the slave family again?"
Fang Yingwu urged impatiently: "The authorities are obsessed with the onlookers, and no one else in the entire capital understands what's going on. If I don't ask you, who will ask? You just say it, can I still eat you?"
Madam He put away her smile and thought about it again and again. Seeing that Fang Yingwu was about to get angry, she cautiously replied: "Then I dare to say a few words, Mr. Fang, just listen."
Mr. Wang is so proud now that everyone is supporting her and bowing to her wherever she goes. This attitude must be different from usual. But Mr. Fang, you are still neither humble nor arrogant towards her, just like in the past. This is
It makes Mr. Wang unhappy."
Fang Yingwu also thought about this aspect, and snorted coldly: "I have always been like this in the past, and there is nothing wrong with it. Do I have to become flattering?"
Mrs. He saw that Fang Yingwu didn't understand what he meant, so she had to explain vaguely again: "Master Wang needs a change, no matter what kind of change it is, but Mr. Fang, you haven't changed. This seems indifferent, and it is inevitable that
Mr. Wang is displeased with his defeat."
Fang Yingwu was thoughtful, and what Madam He said seemed to make some sense... He was still too calm. It was as if a child suddenly got excellent results in the exam, and the parents didn't care and didn't show any sign, then
The child's heart must be very hurt.
Well, in the final analysis, it was because Eunuch Wang was very high-spirited now, but she didn't cooperate in kneeling down to satisfy his vanity, which left her with a big gap.
Fang Yingwu thought about it carefully, what was the situation like when the relationship between himself and Wang Zhi became closer? It was when the West Factory was abolished and Wang Zhi was in crisis; it was when she first took charge of the East Factory and Wang Zhi was out of position.
When it is stable. But every time when Eunuch Wang becomes prosperous, the relationship becomes very difficult to handle...
Madam He observed the words and knew that Fang Yingwu had probably figured out the key, so she continued: "In addition, it seemed that you and the Liu family were about to fall out a while ago, and Mr. Wang was in a good mood; now you and the Liu family have reconciled,
Seeing that your marriage is getting closer day by day, Mr. Wang will certainly feel unhappy."
Is there such a factor of being jealous about your own marriage? You can only blame your brother for being too charming, which makes Fang Yingwu sigh. If a woman is willing to be jealous for you, then some arrogance and frivolousness can always be tolerated. After all, no one can
Perfect!
Having power means being willful, and Wang Zhi’s problem is nothing more than this. It was like this seven years ago, and it is still like this seven years later. (To be continued)
