Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan translated the semiotic text, and two drafts that were not completely burned were taken away by Fang Yun who sneaked into the study...
"Okay, I'll go with you, but you also know that I came out to do something for my adults. If I can't go back at the specified time, my adults will know that something happened to me, and then...
Hum"
"Haha, brother Fang, you can rest assured, my master Tian Ergen is very polite!"
Fang Yun sneered, made a gesture to lead the way, and then left with the Jinyi guards.
...
In the afternoon, Fang Yun returned to Ma's house.
Fang Yun was very nervous. The adults asked him to come back in time for noon, but he didn't come back until the afternoon. The adults would definitely blame him.
Fang Yun pulled over a servant and asked, "Is your Excellency in the study?"
The servant glanced at Fang Yun and said with a smile: "Oh, it's Brother Fang. I have something to do. I went out at noon and haven't come back yet."
"Going out at noon?" Fang Yun felt happy and nodded, "Okay, great, thank you!"
The servant blinked, shook his head and walked away.
Sir Ma Xiaoquan went out at noon and never came back. Fang Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Back in the bedroom, Fang Yun's wife brought the food that had been prepared and said in confusion: "You went out early in the morning and came back now. What on earth did you do? Are you going to get along?"
Fang Yun was slightly stunned. If his mouth hadn't been stuffed with food, he might have been exposed.
"What are you talking nonsense about?" Fang Yun's throat moved, he swallowed the food in his mouth, smashed his mouth and said, "What are you talking about? Do you think the matter told by the adults is so easy to handle? Go, go, just a woman.
People have long heads but short knowledge."
Fang Yun's wife was a little unhappy, but the man was the head of the family, and she, as a woman, really shouldn't talk too much.
"By the way," Fang Yun asked his wife, "Did you meet anyone when you were washing my clothes today?"
Fang Yun's wife thought to herself: If I tell him that I met the grown-up Ma Xiaoquan, he will definitely scold me, huh, then I won't tell him, I don't know anything.
"No, it's just me."
"Well, that's good." Fang Yun lowered his head and continued to eat his bowl of food.
...
It was not until evening that Ma Xiaoquan returned.
Fang Yun stood at the door to greet Ma Xiaoquan. After seeing Ma Xiaoquan, he knelt down and said respectfully: "Sir, you are back!"
"Well" Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and said, "Fang Yun, how did the thing I asked you to do go?"
Fang Yun said: "Sir, everything has been done."
"Oh, when did you come back?"
Fang Yun was very smart. He did not directly say that he would come back in the afternoon, but said: "The adults will go out with their front legs, and the little ones will come back with their hind legs."
Fang Yun said this very cleverly. If he were an ordinary master, he really wouldn't have guessed that there was a problem, but... Fang Yun's master is Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan knew that Fang Yun was lying, but he did not expose Fang Yun. At the moment, he still needed people to do things for him. No matter what, Fang Yun was very efficient in doing things. Such people could still be used.
"Oh, good, that's it. Is the food ready? I haven't eaten yet."
"To tell you what my lord, Fangfang has already done everything and is just waiting for you, lord!"
"Well, good!"
...
After dinner, Ma Xiaoquan called Fang Yun to the study, handed Fang Yun the case reconstruction file Tian Ergen gave him, and ordered: "Fang Yun, go and return this file to Tian Ergen."
Fang Yun was secretly happy in his heart. If the master handed over such an important thing to him, wouldn't he be able to take a good look at it before giving it to Tian Ergen?
"Yes!" Fang Yun took the order and left.
Watching Fang Yun leave, Ma Xiaoquan raised a slight arc at the corner of his mouth.
...
Fang Yun met Tian Ergen in a private house not far from Ma's house.
Tian Ergeng took the file back and said with some confusion: "Fang Yun, your master, don't you want to read this file?"
Fang Yun nodded respectfully and said, "Yes, Mr. Tian, my lord said he has understood it."
Tian Ergen sneered and said, "You see? Well, okay, Fang Yun, have you thought about what we said during the day?"
Fang Yun frowned: "Mr. Tian, this..."
Tian Ergeng smiled and said: "Fang Yun, you are a smart man. I made it very clear to you during the day. Although your eldest son Ma Xiaoquan is now reinstated, he does not have much real power. You have also seen that today
In the imperial court, Wei Master Wei Zhongxian has the most power. We all respectfully call him Wei Master Nine Thousand Years Old... Furthermore, you have heard that anyone who works for Wei Master will be given generous rewards by him.
In return, as for you, Fang Yun, you worked so hard beside Ma Xiaoquan, has he given you anything?"
Fang Yun thought to himself: Mr. Tian is right. I have done so many things for you, but you still seem unwilling to tell me many core secrets. And who among the people who work for Eunuch Wei is not promoted and rich?
Tian Ergeng saw Fang Yun's eyes twinkling and knew that he was attracted, so he continued more vigorously: "Fang Yun, although your sister is Ma Xiaoquan's, when has Ma Xiaoquan ever lacked a woman? You have also met Li
Qinghan, you have seen other women around her, right? To be honest, none of those women are better than your sister. They all say that mother is more valuable than son. I think even if your sister gives birth to a son for Ma Xiaoquan in the future,
Not sure, why, just because your status is low, put it another way, if you, Fang Yun, are a high-ranking official, your sister's status will naturally rise with the tide. Fang Yun, think about it carefully, um,
Time is a bit urgent, you have to give me an answer now."
"Ah? Now? Mr. Tian, is it a little tight now?"
"As I said just now, time is tight. You are also a man, so you have to be happy, okay or not?"
Fang Yun thought for a while, gritted his teeth, nodded and said: "Okay, I agree! I, Fang Yun, will follow Mr. Wei from now on!"
"Okay!" Tian Ergeng was overjoyed. He stood up and walked to Fang Yun. He patted Fang Yun's shoulder heavily and said, "Good brother, we will be a family from now on. Come, here is the little boy brought to you by Master Wei.
Take the gift!" Tian Ergeng said, taking out a huge luminous pearl from his sleeve pocket and stuffing it into Fang Yun.
Fang Yun was too frightened to pick up Ye Mingzhu: "Master Tian, how can you be so embarrassed? You are not getting rewarded for your merits. I just came in."
"Hey, Fang Yun, you are out of sight now. Mr. Wei has a rule. Anyone who follows him will benefit, so just take it. It just so happens that I don't think you can take this night pearl back home in a hurry. You
Don’t you have a sweetheart? Use it to coax her. Don’t worry, there will be many things more valuable than this night pearl in the future.”
