The study room was lit with candles, brilliant and bright.
Fang Xuanling looked a little solemn, and her mother, Lu, who rarely appeared in her father's study, was actually there, sitting on a chair with a dark and gloomy face, faintly angry.
Fang Jun was surprised and sat on the chair in front of the desk. When the maid served the tea and left, he held the teacup in one hand and asked, "But what happened?"
Fang Xuanling angrily scolded: "You are not the one who caused this mess! I have been upright and aboveboard all my life, how could I have given birth to such a despicable and absurd playboy like you? You have really ruined your face.
What a bastard!"
Seeing his father spitting foam and spitting particles, Fang Jun was puzzled.
He was at a loss. What was the origin of this senseless scolding?
He quickly put the teacup in his hand on the table and asked cautiously: "Please tell me, father, what did your son do wrong?"
Fang Xuanling snorted angrily, glared at Fang Jun angrily, but turned away and ignored him.
Fang Jun Zhang Er Jingang, confused...
After thinking about it carefully, my performance today was not bad. I have been standing at the door like a welcome guest all day and my waist and knees are so tired. There is hard work without credit, right? Besides, today, although the eldest grandson Wuji, Gao Shilian and others have always been with each other.
People who he didn't deal with came to visit him, but he never acted disrespectfully.
After much deliberation, Fang Jun couldn't figure out what he had done wrong to make his father so angry, so he could only look at his mother, Lu, for help.
Mrs. Lu was also a little displeased at first, so she stayed silent while Fang Xuanling scolded Fang Jun. She felt that the boy was a bit proud and it would be a good idea to give him a lesson.
But when I saw the pitiful look in my son's eyes, I suddenly felt soft. I frowned and glared at Fang Xuanling, saying displeasedly: "I can just teach the child a few words, why should I be so harsh? Besides, I really can't blame our son for this matter.
It's those villains with ulterior motives who add insult to injury to good people. If you have the ability, go and fight with those guys. Why are you trying to do it at home with your wife and children?"
Fang Xuanling was furious: "Well, you two-faced woman, you didn't just say that you want to teach this kid a lesson, so that he can act rigorously and establish a gentleman's style in the future, so that he will not always be caught by others and fall into passivity.
?"
Ms. Lu felt a little guilty. This was indeed what the couple said just now...
But the problem is that Mrs. Lu has always been used to being strong. Now being scolded by Fang Xuanling in front of her son, she felt a little embarrassed. She frowned in anger and retorted: "It is a mistake for a son not to teach his father. Even the son understands this. You...
The prime minister of a country doesn’t understand?”
Fang Xuanling almost fainted!
You actually use the words in your son's "Three Character Classic" to teach me, the prime minister, a lesson?
He was so angry that his hands trembled, and he pointed at Mr. Lu and cursed: "Only women and villains are difficult to raise!"
Lu snorted and said leisurely: "The third principle of a gentleman is that I am incompetent. A benevolent person does not worry, a knowledgeable person does not confuse, and a brave person does not fear. You Fang Xuanling has always claimed to be a gentleman, but you don't even know the first rule of the gentleman's way.
If you can't do it, even though you are a woman, you will despise her."
This sentence comes from "The Analects of Confucius: Xianwen". Lu said that Fang Xuanling did not even comply with the first principle of a gentleman, which is the sentence "The benevolent do not worry."
What does "the benevolent do not worry"?
That is to say, a person has a big heart of benevolence and righteousness. His heart is extremely kind and tolerant, so he can ignore many details and not worry about small gains and losses. Only such a person can truly achieve inner peace.
, calm and can be called a gentleman.
It is obviously a mockery of Fang Xuanling. Although she calls herself a gentleman, why can't she be calm, kind, and kind?
The Lu family of Fan Yang was an orthodox Han Dynasty, Confucian Zhengshuo. Even though she was a female generation, Lu family's talent and learning were not at the level of country women, but definitely above the level of ordinary scholars.
Seeing Fang Xuanling so angry that smoke was coming from her nose, Mrs. Lu felt proud.
Are you the only one who can curse people politely?
It's not for nothing that I feel sour...
The old couple were quarreling. Fang Jun was sweating profusely and said quickly: "Father, mother, please calm down...what happened?"
"Ask your mother yourself!"
Fang Xuanling was very angry. It would be nice for a woman to be a knitting girl and have a gentle temperament. Why should she read so many books?
Fang Jun looked at Lu.
Lu made Fang Xuanling speechless. She felt proud and her depression was relieved, so she imitated what Gao Shilian's wife, Xian Yu, said at the banquet of the princesses when Gao Shilian's wife Xian Yu came to the house to congratulate her.
Read it again.
Fang Jun listened quietly, his expression gradually becoming serious.
After Mrs. Lu finished talking, she asked curiously: "Son, tell the truth to mother, what is going on between you and Princess Changle?"
Fang Jun said speechlessly: "What else can happen? Nothing happened!"
Lu Shi glared at him angrily: "Flies don't bite seamless eggs! There are several royal princesses who have not yet married or divorced, such as the coquettish and enchanting Princess Fangling. Why doesn't anyone talk to you about her?
, but it’s Princess Changle?”
Fang Jun was helpless and simply kept silent, thinking about Xian Yu's real intention. Was it a reckless act, or did he have an ulterior motive?
After a while, he looked at Fang Xuanling and asked: "In my father's opinion, is there someone behind the scenes who instigated the Xianyu family to do this?"
Fang Xuanling didn't even raise his eyelids and said calmly: "Your mother said, 'It's the son's fault if he doesn't teach his father'. But your father and I, an honest man who doesn't even dare to take a concubine, how can we give you to the charming Fang Erlang?"
What about making suggestions? It’s not because I’m being unkind to my father, it’s because I have more than enough ambition but not enough energy.”
This is what I said...
Fang Jun touched his forehead with his hand, his face flushed.
Dad, after all, you are also the prime minister of a country, can you be a little more formal? Is it really good to belittle your own son like this?
When Mrs. Lu heard this, her eyebrows stood up, she reached out and patted the table, glared at Fang Xuanling and said: "Oh, look at this sour look. Are you envious of your son hugging you and want to imitate him? Humph?
Huh, don't say I look down on you. Our son is very capable. Not only can he train the princess in our family to be obedient, but he can also make another princess agree to marry him and become a confidante. How good and capable is your Fang Xuanling?
Do you dare to have such extravagant hopes? To tell you the truth, until I die, you will never even think about taking a concubine into the house!"
Fang Xuanling was so angry that his beard trembled: "Have I ever had such thoughts?"
Lu didn't give in, "I don't even dare to measure you!"
Fang Xuanling felt that this woman was simply unreasonable: "This is not a question of whether you dare or not, but I don't even bother to do it!"
Lu sneered: "Come on, what cat doesn't steal? Whether you can take a concubine is one thing, whether you want to take a concubine or not is another thing. Even if you have to explain your inner thoughts, you are also a hypocrite.
!”
Fang Xuanling is about to explode!
I can’t even think about it, I can’t even think about it, this bitch is simply my nemesis...
Fang Jun, one of two older men, hurriedly dissuaded his mother: "Mom, please calm down. As the prime minister of the dynasty, my father has never been busy with his affairs. For decades, he and his mother have been deeply and unswervingly in love. I don't know how many famous families have envied me."
A beautiful lady, a royal daughter. Such men are the only ones in the world. Mother should love, care and considerate her. She only envies mandarin ducks but not immortals. We hope that we will live up to this good match. There must be a good story in the history, and the son will be honored."
Although Ms. Lu is a mature woman, her ladylike charm is still there. After listening to Fang Jun's disgusting words, she couldn't help but her face turned red and she spat: "You bastard, you are the only one with such a sweet mouth. You actually use your parents as a raft. You are just asking for a beating!"
Seeing Lu's expression, Fang Xuanling breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, thinking that it was no wonder that her son was able to seduce the beautiful Princess Changle of Lan Xinhui, but she couldn't even get an old wife. In terms of comparison of abilities in this area,
As a father, I was simply crushed...
Let's stop messing around and get down to business.
"The situation is not good." Fang Xuanling said with a frown.
Mrs. Lu deeply believed that, as the legitimate daughter of Mrs. Fan Yang, she still had some knowledge. Unlike those ignorant women who were trapped in deep houses and courtyards, they had no idea about the development of things, and could only feel at a loss when things happened.
Cry and wipe away tears.
As the emperor's favorite legitimate daughter, Princess Changle's status is undoubtedly the most prominent among the princes and princesses. Even the prince and the prince of Jin are behind her. Especially after the reconciliation with the eldest grandson, the emperor felt more.
Feeling guilty, she regarded Princess Changle as the apple of her eye and would never allow her to be wronged in the slightest.
Even someone as fierce as Lu could not say such words as "I hope no one else can control your feelings." If Fang Jun was not married yet, he would just return it. With Fang Xuanling's status, there is no way that the emperor would simply take advantage of the limelight and send her away.
Princess Changle is getting married.
But now, as Princess Gaoyang's consort, Fang Jun had such scandals with Princess Changle, which tarnished Princess Changle's innocent reputation. How could the emperor not be furious? Once the emperor determined that Fang Jun and Princess Changle were really having an affair,
Love, then Fang Jun will definitely face the emperor's surging anger!
For the emperor's most beloved daughter to suffer such injustice, Fang Jun's fate will definitely not be better...
Fang Jun sighed and said: "Those guys want to drive their son out of the capital, but now that his son has handed over Jing Zhaoyin's mission, is it necessary to kill them all? A mere minister of the Ministry of War can't control him anyway.
Why do you need to be so aggressive and even involve Princess Changle?"
He is really depressed.
It would be fine if he really had an affair with Princess Changle. As the saying goes, "If you die under the peonies, you will become a ghost." Death is naturally impossible, and even being relegated from the capital is still worth it.
The problem is that he only touched it, not even "fulfilling his sibling lust", but he was hit by the emperor, which was even more unjust than Dou E...
Lu said angrily: "These aristocratic families have gone too far. Even Erlang has given up his position in Jing Zhaoyin and they won't give up. Is it possible that His Majesty must ask Erlang to be demoted to Qiongzhou in order to satisfy them?"
Fang Xuanling looked solemn, sighed softly, and looked out the open window: "Erlang has always been close to the prince. If we don't demote him out of the capital and cut off the prince's most powerful help, how can others rise?"
At some point, a breeze started to pick up outside the window, and light rain began to fall.
The breeze carried the raindrops and carried them into the house. The air was moist and cool...
