The old pavilion master kicked down the door and scolded me, but he just woke up and was eating Xiao Long Bao.
The old man was not polite and just sat down to eat. He even looked at Noriichi and said, "You don't understand, can you serve me a bowl of cold porridge?"
Dianyi knew that this was to persuade him to leave, and to run away because of his interest.
The old pavilion master then asked: "Your method of letting people spread the news is too obvious, why don't you let me adopt that child as my adopted daughter?"
"I am the majestic master of the Emperor's Pavilion. Even the emperors of the seven countries have to give me face. I don't deserve it?"
The more he talked, the angrier he became. The old man ate up Fang Jue's breakfast one bite at a time.
He also grabbed the gruel and stuffed it till the end.
Fang Jue joked: "Second uncle, you are already my second uncle. If you accept Ye Hongyi as your adopted daughter, how can I get married?"
"What's wrong with cousins?" the second uncle said confidently.
Fang Jue rolled his eyes at him: "Don't worry about the pot, just be content with having a great nephew like me. What else do you want from an adopted daughter?"
"Hey?" The old pavilion master immediately leaned over and cursed, "You have no conscience!"
"When I asked you to recognize me as your adoptive father, you were not willing to die. Why do you just call me second uncle now just for the sake of a wife?"
"In your eyes, which one is more important, the wife, or the second uncle, me?"
"A wife is important." Fang Jue didn't even think about it.
The old pavilion master narrowed his eyes: "I'll give you another chance to speak."
"Oh, I have my own concerns about this matter. It will benefit my situation in Jinling, so please don't get involved." Fang Jue explained.
Unexpectedly, the old pavilion master sneered:
"Your little thoughts are known to everyone on the street. Do you think I can't see it? Who are you targeting?"
"Second uncle, don't think that anyone is smarter than you, you are unparalleled in the world." Fang Jue praised.
The old pavilion master rolled his eyes and said no more.
Fang Jue smiled and said: "Okay, let's get down to business... You came down the mountain this time, didn't you just come alone? Didn't you bring some souvenirs or something for my great nephew?"
"What a special product. If I come here in such an upright and fair manner, all the masters from the seven countries in the world will gather outside your Fangjiazhuang."
The old pavilion master hummed: "Only a few people can understand those crappy things you left behind, and they still have only a little knowledge..."
"But we still got results. As for the cement formula, we have found a good one...here, here it is for you."
As he spoke, the old man took out a secret letter from his sleeve.
Fang Jue took it away and didn't rush to open it.
There are still many things left on Taihuang Mountain, and a group of people are responsible for doing experiments.
If it produces results, it will be sent to Jinling. If there are no results, it will continue to work until it produces results.
"I, Emperor Zun Pavilion, spent a lot of money to get these new things for you..." the old pavilion master hummed.
Fang Jue smiled: "Please don't settle accounts with me. Didn't you say that Emperor Zun Pavilion is all mine?"
The old naughty boy immediately changed his expression and looked over expectantly:
"Are you willing to take over Emperor Zun Pavilion?"
"..." Fang Jue smiled teasingly.
The old pavilion master shook his head speechlessly: "What's so good about this world? The emperor was so prosperous back then, but he finally founded the Emperor Zun Pavilion..."
Fang Jue: "I am not for imperial power, nor for wealth."
"Well, how can the capital be as wealthy as my Taihuang Mountain?" the old pavilion master said disdainfully.
…
Rumors spread, and soon the whole capital knew that Fang Jue and Ye Hongyi were getting married.
"Master Ye, are you really going to get married to the young master?" Qin Mengchi ran over and asked the master of Bagua face to face.
This time, Ye Hongyi couldn't fix it. The key was that there were still many government soldiers present.
Ye Hongyi could only say: "I have a plan. The second uncle of his family will make the decision for him, but I can't find anyone to take charge of it for me... I'm worried."
"Ouch!"
Those who heard this suddenly felt that after eating melon for many years, it was rare to eat the right melon.
Qin Mengchi said with envy: "Sister, you have a good life. If you marry the young master of the dynasty, I'm afraid you won't be short of treasures from the emperor, and you will definitely be prosperous... Unlike me, I'm afraid you won't be able to set up a few tables."
The words were a bit loud, and they were deliberately heard by Bai Qing who was passing by.
Bai Qing's pace quickened a lot, as if he was running away.
Ye Hongyi chuckled: "Sister Qin, your relationship with Mr. Bai hasn't been revealed yet? How long will it take?"
"This... don't worry about this. Let me give you a trick. Why don't you find a foster father and let him arrange your marriage?"
Qin Mengchi heard this from Bagua and thought it was the best way.
Ye Hongyi shook his head and smiled bitterly. These days, worshiping an adoptive father is not just about kowtowing casually.
Identity, status, and age must all be appropriate.
As the swordsman of the Hanging Sword Division, Ye Hongyi is equivalent to the third rank. With such a high position and the status of a close minister of the emperor, there are no more than ten people in the capital who are qualified to be her adoptive father.
Several ministers are not qualified.
And more importantly, she is marrying Fang Jue, the current young master.
Fang Jue was from the first rank. Although he had a false title of young master, Ye Hongyi now wanted to become his adoptive father, and his position was at least higher than Fang Jue's.
Otherwise, the adoptive father will have to bow to his son-in-law in the future. What will happen?
That is to say, one must be a member of the imperial court or above.
Or maybe an elderly prince.
The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty who met this condition were screened again, and less than five were left.
"Hiss... Calculating it this way, it seems to be really difficult to do."
Qin Mengchi said: "Unless you are willing to quit the Xuanjian Division, for the sake of the young master, your majesty should allow it."
Ye Hongyi shook her head firmly: "I, Ye Hongyi, am not a girl waiting to be married. Even if I want to get married, I will not give up my official position in the Hanging Sword Division."
Being a housewife who looks after her husband and raises her children and hangs around the family all day long is not Ye Hongyi's ideal.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have to practice martial arts and lose her household registration of the Ye family in order to join the Xuanjian Division.
If you give up your hard-earned status just for marriage, then why did you work so hard in the first place?
"Then it will be difficult... Let your young masters bring gifts and come to your door one by one. Let's see which prince or favored veteran is willing to accept you as an adopted daughter."
Qin Mengchi was a little gloating about his misfortune.
Ye Hongyi wanted the best prodigy in the world and a position in the Xuanjian Division, which seemed a bit greedy to her.
But what Ye Hongyi was thinking about was what Fang Jue once said to herself in private, and she thought it was very suitable and said it to Qin Mengchi:
"Children only make choices, adults want everything!"
"Then you want it..." Qin Mengchi said with a smile, "Your young master's merits are not low, there must be someone willing to make friends, and this matter is not difficult."
"But have you ever thought about it. After you get married, you will inevitably be distracted. Can you still perform your duties naked in the Hanging Sword Division?"
Ye Hongyi said calmly: "There are several ministers in the Manchu Dynasty who are not married. Why can they do it but I can't?"
Qin Mengchi sighed: "Silly girl, we are women."
This has been the norm for thousands of years.
Ye Hongyi didn't like it, of course.
"Fang Jue would not think so," Ye Hongyi said confidently, "He has never mentioned asking me to leave the Xuanjian Division."
Qin Mengchi's face was full of envy and he didn't question:
"He is truly a genius. He is truly omnipotent and even understands women's thoughts."
Since ancient times, have there been no women who have questioned or been dissatisfied with such a natural thing?
Yes.
But most of them have to accept it because they have no power to change.
Men, on the other hand, don't care what women think. What they want is to maintain normalcy. No one marries deviant women because they are unwilling to be oppressed.
Ye Hongyi also tested Fang Jue to see if he wanted her to leave the Xuanjian Division after marriage.
But Fang Jue didn't care at all.
To this day, she can still think of Fang Jue's words: If the mistress does everything, then what should the housekeeper, wet nurse, and maid... do?
This was also the reason why she accepted Fang Jue's good deeds without hesitation.
…
Rumors always spread faster than the truth.
Now that the rumors are the same as the truth, they are even more popular.
Within two days, all the prominent people in the capital knew about Fang Jue and Ye Hongyi.
"Sir, this matter was rumored to be ridiculous, but it happened to be verified by the real owner... Is it possible that the young master deliberately leaked it?"
There are many smart people in Beijing. It is the first time that rumors and truth are so closely integrated. It is natural that someone with good intentions is adding fuel to the flames.
"I know……"
"Then why don't you come forward and recognize the swordsman of the Hanging Sword Division as your adopted daughter, and make friends with the young master at the same time? This is a rare opportunity... Master, you are a genuine member of Enyang, you definitely have this qualification?"
"Haha, you underestimated this noble man in the capital, and you also underestimated the appetite of the young master."
This scene was staged in many mansions.
But there are qualified people from all sides, and even Zhuge Qingshan didn't rush to take over the job.
