Traveling through: The down-and-out beauty refuses to be cannon fodder

Chapter 2
She had just entered the Xu family, and she had already met several main female family members of the Xu family.

Mrs. Gu, the mistress of the Xu family's second room, was particularly enthusiastic about her, and specially ordered someone to take her here to change her clothes.

In the first month of this year, Fang Yuanzhi has already reached the age of ji, it is time to talk about marriage.

A few years ago when the late emperor was still there, few people were willing to see them.

Yu Qian rebels against the party, who dares to be contaminated?If one is not good, being tabooed by the first emperor is a disaster that will bring disaster to the whole family.

The new emperor ascended the throne the year before last, and changed his reign name to Chenghua last year. He not only pardoned the son of Yu Qian who was exiled by the previous emperor, but also restored his official position.

This gave the Fang family and the Jiang family great hope!

You must know that grandfather Jiang Lin was punished as Yu Qian's accomplice.

The sudden and sudden death of grandfather Fang Ying may have been the result of political struggles in the imperial court.

Uncle Fang Rui was falsely accused of depriving his uncle of Nanhe earlhood, but it is hard to guarantee that the late emperor did not make excuses behind it.

The family members of the first offender Yu Qian were all pardoned, and the dawn of their fellow party members is at hand.

"Second Young Master, I went to the carriage to fetch your rouge and gouache." The voice of the servant Qingshan came from outside the house.

Fang Yuanzhi: "..."

Master, rouge gouache.

Why does this sound so weird? !
Fang Yuanzhi went out: "There is no need to use these. Let's go to celebrate the birthday, we might not be able to catch up if it is later."

Qingshan was slightly stunned: "Didn't the second young master want to change into women's clothes? Is it appropriate to go to celebrate birthday like this?"

Fang Yuanzhi said as he walked, "What's inappropriate? I still want to talk to the head of the Xu family about business!"

With a slight flick of his right wrist, the gold pin fan in his hand unfolded with a "wow".After turning her wrist a few more times, the fan fluttered up and down as if growing on her hand, indescribably chic.

This is what she learned from the handsome male protagonist of the TV series Pan Fan before time travel, and she uses it now to add a bit of heroism and cover up her slightly obvious femininity.

Fortunately, it is late March, the weather is slightly hot, and it is not abrupt to hold a fan.

Walking through halls and courtyards, dividing flowers and blowing willows, and asking the women and servants guarding the gate a few times, I finally walked on a road, and the number of pedestrians on the road gradually increased.

Suzhou gardens pay attention to mountains and water, winding corridors, luxuriant flowers and plants, enjoying the scenery while walking along the way, the environment is pleasant and refreshing.It makes people "get the pleasure of mountains and rivers without going out of the city, and enjoy the fun of forests and springs in the downtown area."

Fang Yuanzhi's occasional turning of the fan quickly attracted the attention of others.

Two people came from a fork in the road, and they were going in the same direction as Fang Yuanzhi.The two stopped and waited for Fang Yuanzhi's master and servant.

"I don't know what to call the young master? But you are also here to pay respects to my great-grandfather?"

The speaker was a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, with a face like a crown of jade, tall and handsome, with a clear voice, and he was dressed in purple silk with auspicious clouds and flowers on a sapphire blue background.The other person is slightly younger and dressed as a servant.

It seems that this is another Xu family.

In line with the principle of saying less and making less mistakes, Fang Yuanzhi said concisely: "My surname is Fang."

Didn't even ask the person's name.

The boy's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he resisted the urge to take a good look at Fang Yuanzhi.

Fang Yuanzhi secretly regretted it.

She was in a hurry just now, and forgot to put back the thing that was pasted on her throat to change her voice!

His own voice was clear and sweet, and he could tell it was a woman as soon as he heard it.

The young man cupped his fists: "My surname is Xu, my first name is Yuankai, and my style name is Baopu. I don't know...do you have small characters?"

Fang Yuanzhi stagnates slightly: Has the identity of a woman been seen through so quickly?

Fang Yuanzhi had no choice but to cup his fists in return: "Below Yuanzhi, the name is Jiashu..."

She didn't have words at first, but when she saw the trees on both sides of the road in a hurry, she improvised one.

Xu Yuankai searched for a long time, and finally figured out Fang Yuanzhi's origin.

"Are you a relative of my aunt's family—the Jiang family in Qiantang?"

Fang Yuanzhi nodded.There was a tall and wide tiled house not far ahead. There were many people standing in the square at the entrance, and some people walked out of the tiled house.

Fang Yuanzhi discovered that Yao Wenqing, the prefect of Hangzhou, was nodding and bowing at people in a corner of the square with a flattering face.

Xu Yuankai said with a smile: "It seems that the birthday greetings are not over yet."

On the plaque of the tile house, there are four big characters: "Ronggui Hall".

Walking into the tile-roofed house, there is an old man with white hair and childlike face sitting in the middle, dressed in a stone-blue straight dress, covered with a red satin gown, and wearing a pair of tortoiseshell glasses on the bridge of his nose. "

After kowtowing, some were left in the house, and some stepped aside and stayed for a while before going out.

There are some people sitting or standing around the old man, most of them are well-dressed.Those who can stay in the house are either direct descendants of the Xu family or people of high status.

The prefect of Hangzhou is a civil official of the fourth grade, and he came all the way to pay his birthday wishes, but he didn't even have a place in this house.

Fang Yuanzhi was slightly surprised. It is said that the ancestor of the Xu family was the prefect of Qiongzhou as the highest official. How could he be so respected?
The people waiting to kowtow formed a small team of four or five people.

Fang Yuanzhi deliberately fell behind.

"Great-grandson Yuan Kai pays homage to the old ancestor, wishing the old ancestor a blessing like the East China Sea and a longer life than Nanshan!"

The ancestor of the Xu family smiled and said: "Okay, Yuan Kai is the eldest of our Xu family's Yuan generation, so please take the lead for the younger brothers!"

Generally, the head of the house is the eldest son of the long house.Hearing the tone of the ancestor of the Xu family, the Xu family will be handed over to this Yuankai boy sooner or later.

Xu Yuankai is a young man with a bright future.

She heard from her grandmother that although the Xu family is the last of the four major families in Suzhou, it is a family of hairpin tassels that has flourished for hundreds of years since the Song Dynasty.

Fang Yuanzhi immediately interpreted it in place: Xu's family is a Fortune [-] company, and Xu Yuankai is the legal heir and the future chairman of the Xu Group.

Fang Yuanzhi thought wildly, and found that it was his turn soon.

"Yuanzhi pays homage to the old ancestor's birthday, and wishes the old ancestor all the best, and the future blessings are boundless!"

The ancestor of the Xu family was stunned for a moment, squinted his eyes and looked at Fang Yuanzhi, then looked to the left and right, as if asking for advice.

In the end, the ancestor of the Xu family still asked:
"Which family do you belong to? The Xu family doesn't seem to have such a handsome child..."

Fang Yuanzhi replied respectfully: "Yuanzhi is the grandson of the Jiang family in Qiantang, and his father is Fang Li from Weiqianhu in Suzhou."

It is a distant relative who has turned several corners.A military officer with a mere thousand households and a fifth rank is not at all ranked on a big day like today.

An old man who was nearly fifty years old and had a handsome appearance asked, "But the son of the Fang family of the Nanhe Houfu?"

Fang Yuanzhi replied respectfully in the direction of the voice: "Nan and Hou Ye Fang Ying are the ancestors of the family."

The old man in his fifties sighed: "Brother Hongzai was a rare and good general in our Ming Dynasty. It is really sad to die at such a young age!"

Hongzai is the name of his grandfather Fang Ying.It seems that this man is an old friend of my grandfather.

Fang Yuanzhi's eye sockets were slightly moist.

I haven't heard much about my grandfather in years.

Sensing her emotional changes, the old man in his [-]s said gently, "My good boy, come and talk later."

The ancestor of the Xu family also brushed his beard and said with a smile: "After the general, it's no wonder that he is outstanding!"

Fang Yuanzhi kowtowed again: "Thank you for the praise, old ancestor, Yuanzhi is ashamed."

She is a girl, mixed in the men's team to celebrate her birthday, it is a strange thing that she is not criticized but also praised in this well-written Jiangnan.
