Half an hour had passed since the drumming of the fourth watch, so Fang Yiai advised Fang Xuanling to go back to her room and take a rest, as she was still busy these days.
After sending Fang Xuanling back to the main room, Fang Yiai returned to his small courtyard. He hesitated in front of the bedroom door, let out a breath, and turned around to go to his small study.
After lighting the lamp in front of the desk and feeling a little stuffy, Fang Yiai opened all the windows in the study and then sat behind the desk.
Open the lid of the stone inkstone, put a few drops of water into it, pick up a half-used ink block in the ink cartridge, and grind it at an even speed.
If you look carefully, you will find that under the candlelight, Fang Yiai lowers her head, and her brows, hidden behind the shadow of the candlelight, are tightly knitted!
Melancholy? Disappointment?
Thinking that when he was in Fang Xuanling's study just now, he was worried about Fang Yizhi's family because of Fenzhou Yang Yu's incident, so he opened his mouth and asked.
After Fang Xuanling heard this, he suddenly opened his closed eyes and looked at himself inquiringly for a moment.
At that time, Fang Yiai saw a flash of vigilance in Fang Xuanling's eyes, but the light flashed so fast that Fang Yiai almost didn't catch it!
I thought I was wrong, but now that I think about it, it’s not the case at all!
Sighing, Fang Yiai put down the ink stick in his hand, closed his eyes and leaned on the chair, folding his hands in front of him.
Thinking that he had learned from Chang Sun Huan that there seemed to be other involvement in the robbery of the three of them, Chang Sun Huan even mentioned the difference between the elder and the younger.
Fang Yiai also once asked Yu Shinan and Kong Yingda, both of whom were born, about their parents and concubines.
The most important thing for a family's survival is inheritance and reputation.
The so-called inheritance requires a good bloodline. As long as the eldest son in a big family is not a fool and has no unjustifiable flaws, then all the family's resources must be directed to the eldest son first and be maintained with priority.
The target is also the eldest son!
Later, I heard Yu Shinan mention it a few times in a vague way. In a big family, if the second son is equally popular and threatens the eldest son, in order to prevent the family from splitting up, it is okay to find excuses to sacrifice the younger son to protect the elder.
It's not a rare thing.
Fang Yiai twitched the corner of her mouth bitterly.
Thinking of asking Fang Xuanling if Fang Yizhi was involved in Yang Yu's private sale of grain reserves? At that time, Fang Xuanling suddenly gave him a sharp look.
Fang Xuanling's suspicion that she was gloating over others' misfortunes and adding insult to injury really made Fang Yiai very uncomfortable.
Because of the promise he made to his ex, he took into account Mrs. Fang's feelings, and also thought that he could not let go of Sun Yunniang and Feng Tiejiang, and the Fang family's family business would always need to be inherited by Fang Yizhi, so he endured it abruptly.
Fang Yizhi's past bad behavior.
He convinced himself, hypnotized himself, and made himself believe that the reason why Fang Yizhi acted like that before was entirely because he was young and wanted to take care of his parents' worries, so he made a mistake in a moment of confusion.
Is it really just a moment of confusion?
Thinking about the conversation between Changsun Wuji and his wife that Changsun Huan had overheard in his heart, he began to think about it again.
In Changsun Huan's matter, could Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji realize that Hou Junji was interfering in the matter? Is it really only Fang Yizhi's fault that it concerns them?
If so, without Fang Xuanling's signal, would the Fang family really have no servants to take care of the two children when the competition for the heir apparent was in vain?
Forget it, I don't want to worry about these annoying things. Anyway, in a few days, I will officially get married and officially move out of the house. Let's talk about the future things later.
Fang Yiai rubbed his brow and sighed.
Looking at the dried ink on the desk, Fang Yiai couldn't help but sympathize with her predecessor. It was really sad to see such a father who only cared about country and little about family.
At first, Fang Yizhi, like Fang Yiai, lacked fatherly love. He was also distant and polite in front of Fang Xuanling, wanting to get close but not daring to get close. He looked at Fang Xuanling secretly with eyes filled with admiration.
Affection.
Fang Xuanling, on the other hand, rarely pays attention to the affairs of the children at home, except for marriage matters and future prospects.
Thinking of Fang Yizhi, Fang Yiai felt a little regretful. She regretted how she could suppress her temper, swallow that breath, and forgive him generously, but then she took it out on Cheng Hualiang?
It seems that after Fang Yizhi was transferred to Fenzhou, he reacted to Fang Xuanling's words that "the general will not accept military orders abroad" and had frequent private contacts with Yang Yu and his son.
Qin Chuan and Qin Yue, who were responsible for their safety, had already been excluded on their way to Xiaoyi County. If Xiao Tingting hadn't found an excuse to keep the two of them, Fang Yiai estimated that Fang Yizhi would
He might just find an excuse to send the two of them back to Beijing.
If it weren't for what Fang Xuanling said just now, Fang Yiai would really not know about these things.
After all, Qin Chuan and Qin Yue were both good at martial arts and experienced people. Although Qin Qiong gave it to him, it was only after Fang Xuanling agreed that it was given to Fang Yizhi.
Thinking about it now, Fang Yiai felt that she had harmed both Qin Chuan and Qin Yue.
The letter he handed over to Qin Chuan and Qin Yue contained ten thousand taels of silver that could be withdrawn. Qin Chuan had someone send a letter back, saying that it was related to Xiao Tingting's production, and Fang Yizhi's money was not enough for Qin's expenses.
After thinking about it, Chuan handed the letter to Xiao Tingting.
Thinking about it, at that time, Qin Chuan was secretly telling himself that Fang Yizhi was different from what he was in the capital. It was just that he couldn't tell himself because he was afraid that he would suspect that he was driving a wedge between him and Fang Yizhi.
Brotherly love.
But, did he really not have enough money? Fang Yiai clearly remembered that after receiving the news that Xiao Tingting was pregnant, Mrs. Fang withdrew only three thousand taels of silver from the account and had it sent to Xiaoyi County.
Later, one month before Xiao Tingting gave birth, someone sent another two thousand taels of silver to her!
Moreover, every year, Fang Yizhi always gets the largest share of the dividends from the property in the mansion, and this time it was sent to them before the Chinese New Year!
Just like this, he will still be short of money?!
I'm afraid he took the money to feed Yang Yu and his son.
When I thought of Fang Xuanling saying that Fang Yizhi might have been involved in the matter of Yang Yu and his son selling grain, Fang Xuanling's face looked tired, disappointed and heartbroken. Her whole person seemed to have suffered a huge blow. After speaking, her whole face looked...
He seems to have aged a lot.
It was also true that the eldest son, whom he had high hopes for and had a lot of protection for, would not listen to his warnings and get involved in this kind of thing. The unacceptable disappointment really hit Fang Xuanling too hard.
I'm afraid that after being busy for a while, Fang Xuanling might get sick.
Fang Xuanling said that Fang Yizhi and his family might rush back to Beijing to report on their work before she gets married.
To put it bluntly, he just wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of getting married to Shuer, hoping that for Shuer's sake, the emperor would give him a lenient sentence.
However, until now, Fang Yiai is completely disappointed with Fang Yizhi, a person whose situation is unclear. It is really a pity for Xiao Tingting.
Regarding the fact that she had facilitated the marriage between Xiao Tingting and Fang Yizhi, Fang Yiai felt a little sorry for Xiao Tingting. How could such a good girl be paired with such a brainless scumbag.
Fortunately, before he took office, Fang Xuanling specially brought him into the study and gave him a detailed analysis of the situation in the court and Fenzhou.
Regarding feelings, not only did she not listen to her father's words, she even didn't pay much attention to the laws of the Tang Dynasty! She dared to follow Yang Yu and his son and participate in reselling the grain stored in the granary!
I clearly knew that he was greedy, but I didn't know why, and thought that it was me, my biological brother, relying on the favor of the emperor and the prince to prevent him from using the Fang family's money!
Thinking of Fang Yizhi coming back to "report on his duties", I'm afraid he won't leave the capital within a short period of time.
Thinking about the fact that Fang Yiai might have been framed to death by Fang Yizhi in history, and then thinking about Fang Yize who did not live to adulthood in history, Fang Yiai felt unreasonably irritable.
Although he was not sure how Fang Yize died in history, Fang Yiai really didn't want anything to happen to his third brother Fang Yize, who was both his elder brother and part-time father, and whom he had watched grow up.
Frowning, Fang Yiai was writing silently, wondering in her mind whether she should temporarily isolate Fang Yize from Fang Yizhi?
With the pure and undefended appearance of the third brother, being under the same roof, I am afraid that he may unintentionally offend Fang Yizhi, who is in depression. If he hates Fang Yize, Fang Yiai is really afraid that Fang Yizhi will treat her.
What bad behavior did Fang Yi do?
To be honest, now, Fang Yiai really doesn't have any favorable impressions of Fang Yiai, who harmed Fang Yiai in history and who boldly colluded with Yang Yu and his son to sell stored grain in reality.
Moreover, judging from the fact that he dared to participate in the sale of grain reserves, including his own 10,000 taels of silver, it can be seen that Fang Yizhi also advocated the realm of "a clear county magistrate in one year, a hundred thousand snowflakes of silver" as others said, and became right
Money is a bit greedy.
If this is the case, it doesn't matter to me. I earn more from property than Fang's family. The Fang family still subsidizes their own money. I don't care about the Fang family's property at all. Moreover, as long as Shu'er continues to be honored and favored in front of Li Shimin,
If he still had Li Chengqian's favor, Fang Yizhi would not dare to touch him even if his eyes were hot.
Qing Niang is a girl, and she is destined to the prince who is the daughter of the empress. Moreover, Qing Niang has almost prepared various dowries. In addition to the usual practice of the Fang family to pack money, at most it is Mrs. Fang's dowry.
The dowry subsidy does not cost the government much money at all.
Only the young Fang Yize is left, and he is afraid that Fang Yize will attack Fang Yize in order to keep more of the family property.
In order to make money, Zhaofang's widow resorted to reselling the country's granaries despite having a cold. There was no guarantee that he would not attack his younger brother for the sake of Fangfu's property.
No, we have to think of a way to isolate Fang Yize in his own house while Fang Yi is in the capital!
