On the way home, the fat man was still laughing. The poor kid had probably never seen anything funny in his life. The point of laughter was really low. After leaving the academy gate, the fat man didn't want to go back. He insisted on going to Fang's house to visit "uncle".
"Auntie", for the sake of the five hundred taels of silver notes, Fang Zheng had no choice but to take him home.
Xiao Wu followed behind, looking blankly at the fat man laughing, listening to them talking about topics he couldn't understand, and couldn't help feeling a little frustrated.
The three of them walked slowly and leisurely, and felt very comfortable while walking. The fat man behaved exactly like a fanatical star-chaser in later generations, and kept asking Fang Zheng questions, including what he thought about the magical pair. Fang Zheng successfully matched
Who do you want to thank the most after going online? Wait, what a boring question. Fang Zheng said thank you to cctv, does he understand?
After entering the house, the house became lively. The servants dusted Master Fang and Fatty enthusiastically, poured tea, and served snacks. They were so attentive that Fang Zheng felt a little uncomfortable. Fatty looked calm, as if he was used to being treated like this.
People are waiting for you.
After sitting in the main hall for a while, I chatted with the fat man about everything. Fang Zheng had hundreds of years more knowledge than him, and it was easy to fool an ancient fat man. The fat man was stunned after hearing this, and he almost cried out.
find.
Just as he was talking, Mr. Fang and Mrs. Fang came out. Before they saw anyone, they heard their voices. Mr. Fang laughed loudly and said: "My little genius is back, haha. How was your study today?"
Before Fang Zheng could answer, he was talking about which brothel had girls with big butts and which brothel had girls with big breasts. The fat man's expression tightened, he straightened his clothes, and when he saw my parents, he bowed and said: "Junior Zhou Wu
, Meet Uncle Fang and Aunt Fang." He looked like a polite gentleman, completely different from the obscene and obscene fat man just now. Fang Zheng was stunned, this kid turned out to be an actor.
Mr. Fang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Oh? My son also brought a friend? A classmate from the academy?"
The fat man said respectfully: "That's right. Brother Fang is a straightforward person with profound knowledge. He sincerely makes friends with the younger generation. I am taking the liberty of coming today. I hope my uncle and aunt won't be surprised." Fang Zheng was secretly happy after hearing this. Fatty, how should I say, his biggest shortcoming?
Just love telling the truth.
Mr. Fang and his wife looked at each other and said with a smile: "My child can only play some clever tricks. If Nephew Zhou Xian praises him again, I'm afraid this kid will be even more ignorant." Since he went to Master Chen's house to learn from him, Fang has
The master's attitude toward Fang Zheng is obviously much better than before.
Mrs. Fang didn't say much, she looked at each other with Mr. Fang, nodded to the fat man with a smile, and then went down to arrange dinner.
The fat man smiled and said: "Uncle is too humble. What the junior said is true. Brother Fang is really making a splash in the academy today. Master Chen made a good match..."
"Cough cough, um, cough cough..." Fang Zheng heard this and knew something was going to be bad, so he quickly used the sound of coughing to wink at the fat man.
Fortunately, the fat man was not too stupid. After receiving Fang Zheng's threatening gaze, he stopped talking.
"Huh? Nephew Zhou Xian, why don't you say anything?" Seeing that the fat man stopped talking, Mr. Fang frowned and asked him: "But did this scoundrel cause trouble in the academy today?"
"Ah, no, no, dad, my child has always been law-abiding, honest and honest, how could he get into trouble? Haha, the weather is sunny and sunny today, and the school is calm today. We and other students are studying hard, Master Chen highly commends them. Zhou
Brother, are you right? - Brother Zhou!" Fang Zheng hinted the fat man to help him, but the boy turned his back and kept hunching his shoulders. Fang Zheng was so angry that he pinched the fat around his waist hard.
"Ouch! Ah, that's right, what Brother Fang said is true." The fat man replied hurriedly.
Mr. Fang looked at the two of them suspiciously and said, "It's best this way. If I know that you, the scoundrel, have caused trouble, I won't be able to deal with you! Nephew Zhou Xian, please help me keep an eye on me, the scoundrel."
"
The fat man bowed and said yes. At this time, Mrs. Fang came over and told him that dinner was ready. Fang Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The atmosphere of the dinner was warm and harmonious. From what Mr. Fang said, it was the first time for Fang Zheng to bring friends back for dinner, so they treated him with a high standard. Not only were the three cooks at home busy, but they also called Yu Yue.
Lou sent several signature dishes. What's more, the old man brought a jar of 20-year-old Huadiao from the cellar. It is said that even Mr. Fang is reluctant to take a sip on weekdays.
This time, the fat man was flattered. He kept saying: "You are so polite, how dare you, this junior." But he was unambiguous in his approach. He casually pulled out a plate of food, and most of it went into his mouth. He had to admire Mrs. Fang.
He has a far-sighted mind, and if he casually prepares a few home-cooked dishes, they may not be enough for Fatty to stuff his teeth. Fang Zheng wonders if Fatty realizes that he has been cheated, and tries every means to get back his five hundred taels of silver. - He hides himself very well.
Very deep...
During the dinner, Mr. Fang intentionally or unintentionally asked the fat man about his family background. When he heard that his family was also in business, Mr. Fang was very happy and asked repeatedly which company it was and what its business was. However, the fat man hesitated and couldn't explain, and he said a few vague words.
After that, Mr. Fang didn't ask any more questions.
Fang Zheng looked at the fat man with disdain and said to himself that this boy is not kind and secretive, thinking that someone will rob your house. No matter how rich your family is, is it more rich than mine? The fat man felt ashamed under the disdainful gaze of Young Master Fang.
He lowered his head and hummed, just feel ashamed.
After the meal was enjoyed by both the guests and the host, the fat man left with a satisfied belch, and Fang Zheng sent him out.
"Brother Fang, your food tastes good, haha, I will come here often in the future." The fat man said while picking his teeth.
Fang Zheng smiled politely and said: "You are welcome to come often in the future. However, with your appetite, Fatty Brother, my family's food reserves may not be able to cope with it. Next time you come to eat, remember to bring a banknote to pay the bill. One meal costs one hundred taels."
, Children and old men are not deceived, I guarantee that you will return home happily."
The fat man was stunned, and then he patted Fang Zheng on the shoulder: "You are so funny!" He laughed and left.
Fang Zheng chased the fat man's back and shouted seriously: "I'm not kidding!"
Turning around and returning home, he walked towards the side hall. Mr. Fang and his wife were sitting drinking tea, so Fang Zheng sat aside to accompany them.
Mr. Fang slowly sipped the tea, and after a long while he slowly said: "Zheng'er, that Zhou Wu, do you know what his family does?"
Fang Zheng was holding a piece of snack and stuffing it into his mouth. He was stunned when he heard this and said, "Didn't he say that his family is in business?"
"Doing business? Haha," Mr. Fang said with a faint smile: "I think this boy is polite and has an extraordinary bearing. This kind of education can never be taught by a businessman."
His demeanor was even more extraordinary when he listened to the pornographic jokes, and Fang Zheng curled his lips secretly.
"Could he be a son of an official?" Mrs. Fang was also puzzled.
"It's possible. In any case, it's not a bad thing for Zheng'er to get to know him. Since ancient times, officials and businessmen have taken advantage of each other, acted as pawns, and complemented each other. This relationship is unclear. Haha, Zheng'er, you have to remember
Live, treat everyone with courtesy outside. In this Jinling city, a random passerby who passes you by may be a noble person who can help you, or he may put you to death.
He is a powerful enemy, so you must not be domineering and tyrannical outside." Mr. Fang warned Fang Zheng seriously.
"Dad, don't worry. My child has always been as timid as a mouse. I don't even dare to kill a chicken. The only thing I can do outside is for others to beat me. My child will never dare to bully others." Fang Zheng said modestly.
"Humph, if I believe what you say, at this age, dad is living in a dog's belly." Mr. Fang was very disdainful of his modesty.
"Is everything okay? Go back to your room and study hard. If you don't pass the exam next year, I'll be careful about your head!" Mr. Fang's threats were always so creative. As soon as he finished speaking, Mrs. Fang was so angry that she pressed her arm on his arm.
He pinched me hard.
The days passed quickly, half a month passed.
Fang Zheng had not gained much in the past half month. He was fooling around in school every day. After class, he went home to eat. He was a good boy in the feudal society. Mr. Fang was greatly relieved. He waved his hand happily,
Fang Zheng's monthly salary increased from ten taels of silver to twenty taels. See, there are benefits to being a good boy, and the salary was increased in just half a month.
The one who gained the most was Fatty. Ever since he had a meal at Fang Zheng's house, this guy seemed to be addicted to it. He would come to Fang Zheng's house every few days in the name of "asking for advice". It just so happened that every time he "asked for advice"
"It's all in a rush for food. After half a month, it's unknown how much the fat man's knowledge has increased, but his food intake has increased a lot.
What makes Fang Zheng helpless is that this fat man is well versed in the art of flattery. He often comes to visit the two elders of the Fang family with small gifts that are not too expensive and show his sincerity, which makes Mr. Fang say "good nephew".
I wish I could take him in as my adopted son. Everyone in the Fang family has gradually become accustomed to the fat man's existence. Regardless of whether he comes or not, they always put out an extra pair of chopsticks every time they eat. Fang Zheng is quite torn and wanted to take him in.
I was too embarrassed to ask for food money.
"Is my food that delicious?" Fang Zheng asked boredly, lying lazily on the mahogany table. An old man named Dai on the stage was explaining "Mencius" with foaming at the mouth.
The fat man also wanted to imitate him and lie down on the table, but the difficulty of this movement was a bit higher for him. The fat on his waist was too thick and he couldn't bend down at all. He had to lean on the back of the chair and look at it with envy.
Wearing Fang Zheng...
"It doesn't matter whether the food is delicious or not. What's important is the atmosphere of eating with your family. I really envy you." After the two of them got acquainted, the fat man no longer used the terms "I'm here" and "Foolish brother" to call himself. He usually just
Say "I".
"Won't your family have dinner with you?" Fang Zheng suddenly remembered that he had known Fatty for so long and had never asked him about his family situation. He only knew that his family was also in business.
"My parents...are often away from home. Apart from me and my sister, there are only servants in the house." The fat man felt sad.
Fang Zheng nodded in understanding. Businessmen value profit over separation. When getting something, they always have to pay some price.
"Poor child, I will give you a 50% discount when you come to my house for dinner..." Fang Zheng patted the fat man generously: "A meal of fifty taels of silver is really delicious and cheap, and great value for money. Where can I find it?"
Going to such a beautiful thing?"
A bit of sadness just appeared in his heart, but it was resolved by Fang Zheng's gag. The fat man smiled and scolded Fang Zheng and pushed him: "Go! I don't plan to pay. I want to eat braised carp tonight. You ask Xiao Wu to go back and follow me."
Give instructions from the kitchen." These days, Fatty and Xiao Wu have become very familiar with each other.
This damn fat man really doesn’t think of himself as an outsider. If this continues, I will have to go to his house to eat every day tomorrow. Fang Zheng thought to himself, so he just excused himself and said that I would “ask for advice” from him. Let’s ask him for advice.
Come and ask for advice, and your knowledge will always improve. Didn't Confucius say, "When three people are walking together, there must be one who is my teacher"? From this point of view, this sentence is probably from the time when Old Master Confucius was in a very miserable life, he went to other people's houses to have a meal.
It's just an excuse.
"One more thing..." The fat man suddenly became arrogant: "I eat at your house every day, leaving my sister alone at home. Brother Fang, do you think you can..."
"Come, come all!" Fang Zheng waved his hand generously: "Anyway, one cow is led, and two cows are led, too. Do you have any relatives in your family? Bring them all over. It doesn't matter if there are many people. At worst, our family will have a running banquet...
"With how much Mr. Fang likes fat people, bringing more people to his house for dinner is nothing at all. Fang Zheng agreed without hesitation.
"Your sister should have a smaller appetite than you, so let's consider her 20 taels of silver per meal. We will settle the bill at the end of the month without issuing an invoice." Fang Zheng lay on the table and lazily opened the price.
"Okay." The fat man said nonchalantly: "You wait slowly, I will pay the bill in the year of the monkey and the month of the horse."

By the way, what about that? I got a few recommendation votes and looked at the recommendations. The gap is so big that I dare not look at it every day. How pitiful, right?
