Seeing the clouds

Chapter 60 Chapter 59 If love lasts for a long time

After successfully dealing with Huang Hanzhong, Zhang Yue and Fang Suxiao found Zhou Song and informed him of the cause and result of the matter. Fang Tianding was not interested in doing good deeds and getting gratitude from others, so he did not follow up. Come.

When Zhou Song learned that the bastard who caused him to be permanently disabled had received his retribution, he thanked them both with tears of gratitude.Then he heard Fang Suxiao promise to arrange a job enough for him to make a living and thanked the two of them again.

Just when the two were about to leave, Zhou Song took Zhang Yue's hand and choked up: "Although I know that my benefactor may not show his true face for some reasons, I dare to ask my benefactor's real name so that he can remember his benefactor." and Miss Fang’s kindness to the villain for his rebirth.”

Zhang Chuchu looked at Fang Suxiao and shook his head. After much hesitation, he still replied seriously: "Zhang Chuchu."

Zhou Song nodded to show that he had remembered Zhang Chuo's name and then said: "In the future, as long as Mr. Zhang needs a villain, he will die without mercy!"

Zhang Chuchu laughed it off, just patted him on the shoulder and said, "Live well."

Then the two said goodbye to Zhou Song and returned to their house.

Fang Suxiao entrusted the matter of Zhou Song to Wang Ji, who had recovered from his injury. Faced with his niece's request, Wang Ji naturally nodded in agreement.He arranged for Zhou Song to help in a store that had a close relationship with his family, and asked the store owner to take good care of this poor but tough and hard-working man.

This matter has come to an end.

After dinner, everyone sat in the yard and chatted. In addition to Zhang Yue, Fang Suxiao, Fang Tianding, Zheng Baiyu and Li Jingxiong, the housekeeper Wang Ji also participated.Firstly, he wanted to thank Zhang Yue for rescuing Fang Suxiao and making up for his mistakes. Secondly, he was also curious about this young man with a checkered life experience.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Wang Ji is the steward of the Fang Mansion, but this is not the case. Almost all the news about the Jianghu in the Governor's Mansion is collected by Wang Ji on behalf of Fang Qifu.Although Zhang Yue was already a wanted criminal at this time, in Wang Ji's view, it was just a wanted criminal in the eyes of the emperor. To others, the so-called wanted criminal was a joke.Naturally, Wang Ji would not underestimate the gentle-tempered young man in front of him. Even if Zhang Yunping had passed away as rumored, that Zhang Yue was the flag of the Zhang family.With the influence of the Zhang family at that time, as long as Zhang Yue did not expose his body in the wilderness and raised his arms casually, countless people would dare to risk the disapproval of the world and defect to him.What's more, he and his family Su Xiao are interested in each other. Not surprisingly, he is the future uncle of the Fang family. What does the marriage between the Zhang family and the Fang family mean in Great Qin?That is the entire country of Da Qin!

Of course Wang Ji knew that his senior brother was loyal to Da Qin, but being loyal to Da Qin did not mean being loyal to Zhao Ming. Now all the circumstances showed that the eldest son Zhao Xian was not dead, so the dragon chair Zhao Ming was sitting on was not orthodox.Moreover, the new king had just succeeded to the throne and used thunderous power to eradicate dissidents, which had already lost the hearts of the people.Fang Qifu and Wang Ji actually felt the most sympathy for Zhang Yunping's experience of being inexplicably labeled as a rebel.So when the time comes, whether Zhang Yue is revolting under the banner of the Zhang family or the eldest son, and wants to have a fight with Emperor Zhao Ming, given the injustice and injustice the Fang family has suffered in the court over the years, they will naturally help him, and when the time comes, he will fight with Emperor Zhao Ming. With the gathering of forces from all sides who have irreconcilable relations with the Zhang family and the Fang family, coupled with the turbulent forces in Daqin such as the remnants of Western Chu and the Taiping Sect, Emperor Zhao Xian is faced with another Warring States period.By then, Zhao Ming had lost Zhang Yunping and Fang Qifu, and it would not be so easy to swallow this country again.

Putting aside all other factors, just looking at Zhang Yue as a person, no matter who asked Wang Ji whether he liked his future brother-in-law, Wang Ji could give an affirmative answer.Apart from anything else, Zhang Yue's chivalrous heart and courage to risk his own life to save a stranger who had nothing to do with him was enough to gain Wang Ji's respect.Even senior fellow apprentice Fang Qifu, who had always been very critical, couldn't find anything wrong with this young man. How could Wang Ji not like him?Moreover, the reason why Fang Qifu, who had always been cautious, was able to bet on Zhang Yue so quickly this time may not be without his own daughter. Although Fang Qifu did not say it, Wang Ji could actually feel it.

As the saying goes, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, don't bully the young and poor.

Zhang Chuchu didn't know what Wang Ji was thinking, but he just thought that the housekeeper of Fang Mansion was gentle and approachable.

Zheng Baiyu, who has been missing the dragon for the past few days, is currently complaining about his cousin Zhang Chuo. During their chat just now, he learned that Zhang Chuo and the others punished Huang Hanzhong for helping Zhou Song. My cousin, who was always willing to help others, didn't tell me, so I missed this good show, which was a bit regretful.

Zhang Chuchu and Fang Suxiao naturally smiled to appease our outspoken Mr. Zheng.

Fang Tianding lay on the recliner and said calmly: "I didn't expect that the huge city of Chang'an is full of children of this kind of aristocratic families. They don't study to gain fame or join the army to guard the border. They only care about bullying men and dominating women. It can be said that Da Qin's talent is withering. It seems that the four of us are really a breath of fresh air among the officials’ children.”

While eating the snacks prepared at home, Zheng Baiyu asked curiously: "Brother Tianding, you were already a world-famous general at a young age. Didn't you do anything deviant?"

Fang Tianding said with a leisurely expression: "Yes, but not many. Firstly, my uncle and my mother are very strict. Secondly, I always like to challenge the strong and have no interest in bullying the weak."

As soon as Fang Tianding said this, except for Wang Ji and Li Jingxiong, the other three people became interested. Zheng Baiyu, who never thought it was too big a deal, said, "Brother Tianding, let's listen to it. Let me admire your demeanor when you were young." .”

Fang Tianding smiled and said: "Actually, it's nothing. One of the things that impressed me the most is that when my uncle and I attacked Jincheng, the general who was responsible for defending the city, Wang Jian, was a tough guy. My uncle and I fought for two whole years but couldn't break it. Jincheng. An official in the court said that the reason my uncle and I were unable to capture the city for so long was because we had different intentions and wanted to unite the Northern Han Dynasty to break away from the Qin Dynasty and establish ourselves as kings. Except for Uncle Ji, you can't imagine how powerful Wang Jian was back then. , Jincheng is so difficult to fight, and the old boy in the court has not done anything, and he dares to slander the Fang family, which makes me so angry at such a young age..."

Zheng Baiyu said: "What then?"

Fang Tianding continued: "Later, Jincheng was captured by my uncle and I. When my uncle and I returned to the court, I used Dingtian's halberd pole to break the old boy's arms in front of the late emperor and all the civil and military officials of the court. Two legs."

The three people were dumbfounded by Fang Tianding's casual talk about the past, and each of them couldn't help but sigh. Such domineering behavior was worthy of Fang Tianding, who was named a champion at such a young age.

Wang Ji, who was sitting aside, smiled and said nothing as he listened to Fang Tianding reliving the past. Then the middle-aged man, who had experienced many battles like Fang Tianding, smiled and asked: "What about Yue Yue and Bai Yu? You two are also from famous families. Haven’t you done anything deviant?”

Wang Ji didn't ask Li Jingxiong, because everyone knew in their hearts that this idiot had never done anything deviant, and anyone who had deviant thoughts was a rare thing.

Zheng Baiyu said with regret: "My parents are very strict, so I didn't do anything interesting before I became a disciple."

Then everyone focused their attention on Zhang Yue, who recalled something and said: "If I really want to be deviant, a few years ago I and a good friend stole someone else's bride..."

Everyone was a little surprised to hear that Zhang Yue, who had always been upright and upright, had done such an obscene thing. Fang Tianding smiled and said: "Yu Yue, you are much more deviant than me..."

Wang Ji also laughed and joked: "I didn't expect you to have such a hobby at the beginning of the month..."

Fang Suxiao said angrily: "Why are you robbing someone else's bride!"

Zheng Baiyu thought for a while and remembered something, then laughed loudly: "I once heard my mother say that the two of you originally wanted to use a trick to deceive the guests and then steal the bride. But you were discovered and gave up in embarrassment. We were chased for more than ten miles, and if a local official who knew you two hadn't come out to rescue you, you two might have been arrested and taken to Shenchu ​​River."

Zhang Yue smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly explained to the angry Fang Suxiao: "The two of us were not coveting the beauty of other people's brides, but because at that time, a wealthy and notorious businessman took a concubine, and the woman was also forced to I had no choice but to get married because of the threats from the wealthy businessman, but the government is not easy to deal with such matters. My friend usually had a lot of strange ideas, so he came to discuss this matter with me. After hearing this, I thought it was thrilling and interesting, so I agreed to participate. Who knows? Not only did the matter fail, but when I got home I was scolded by my father and Mr. Bai, and for a long time I was called a "flower picker" by people I knew well..."

Everyone laughed loudly after hearing this. Even Li Jingxiong understood and found it funny. Fang Suxiao, who had just looked angry, even covered his mouth and laughed hard.

Fang Tianding smiled and praised: "That friend of yours can come up with such a plan, he is really strange..." Listening to the laughter of everyone, Zhang Yue also thought of the friend whom Fang Tianding called "a strange person". We have similar interests and have done many interesting things together. In the blink of an eye, we haven’t seen each other for many years.

A cup of wine with peach and plum spring breeze, and a light in the rainy night in the rivers and lakes for ten years.I don’t know if I will ever see him again in this life.

Everyone laughed for a while and then started talking about other topics.

Zhang Chuchu remembered that the Jianghu martial arts review generals Fang Qifu, Cao Qiansui and Lu Jianghan were called the "Three Ministers", but few Jianghu people recognized Fang Tianding's strength, so he became curious about Fang Tianding's strength, so he asked: " Brother Tianding, what is your current strength level?"

Fang Tianding said: "I should be able to pass two moves among the so-called top ten in the world."

Zhang Chu said: "Then why do people in the martial arts world rarely include you in the martial arts evaluation list?"

Fang Tianding thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's because I rarely compete with others outside the battlefield, so people in the Jianghu don't know much about it. After all, in their eyes, leading troops to fight and martial arts strength are two completely different things."

Zhang Chuchu nodded, and then asked: "Who is more powerful, you or the governor?"

Fang Tianding smiled and said: "Comparing with my uncle? Then I'm probably better. After all, my uncle is old and I'm still young."

Fang Suxiao snickered in her heart when she saw Fang Tianding's unseen figure in the distance.

Then a voice sounded from a distance: "The moonlight is just right tonight. Since you are so confident, why don't you compete with your uncle? It just so happens that our uncle and nephew may not have played against each other for a long time."

This familiar voice was like a thunder, frightening Fang Tianding to sit up quickly, smiling awkwardly at Fang Qifu who was walking from a distance: "I'm just bragging to a few brothers, uncle, you don't have to take it so seriously, right?"

Fang Qifu's face at this time was not as serious as usual, but instead looked very relaxed: "I don't have to take other people's words seriously, but God has determined that I always take your words seriously. Come on, let you also Let your younger brothers see your young skills, and let your uncle see if you are still old."

Fang Tianding was about to cry but had no tears, and said fiercely to Zhang Yue: "I didn't expect that I regard you as a brother, but you actually cheated me!"

Zhang Chuchu actually didn't notice Fang Qifu's figure, and the question just now was really due to his curiosity.Now that he was misunderstood by Fang Tianding, he was about to cry but said: "No... Brother Tianding, I didn't notice the governor either..."

Fang Qifu also smiled when he saw the interesting expressions of the two people. He walked to Fang Tianding and patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, uncle is just joking with you."

Fang Tianding breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had escaped.After all, his uncle, who is like his father, always goes all out and never gives up every time he fights with him. Naturally, he gets beaten up every time with a bruised nose and a swollen face.

Fang Suxiao felt that Fang Qifu had arrived suddenly and asked, "Dad, why are you here?"

Fang Qifo laughed and said, "You guys are laughing so loudly, so naturally daddy has to come over and see what's going on."

So Fang Tian decided to avenge his previous revenge and narrated what happened just now to Fang Qifu.Everyone burst into laughter again. Even Fang Qifu, who had always been unfazed by ancient and modern times, shook his head and laughed. Zhang Yue was naturally extremely embarrassed.

Then Fang Qifu asked Zhang Yue: "I heard that you are about to set off tomorrow?"

Zhang Chuchu nodded, while Fang Suxiao beside him had a sad look in his eyes.

Fang Qifu said: "If you were like ordinary people and wanted to stay in the house and seek refuge from me, I would really look down on you. Fortunately, at the beginning of the month, you inherited your father's temperament and did not disappoint me. . As the saying goes, a man’s ambition is a thousand miles, but you still have a long way to go. You have to keep going steadily. If you encounter difficulties that cannot be solved, you are welcome to come to me for help."

Wang Ji on the side also said kindly: "At the beginning of the month, the door of Fang Mansion will be open for you at any time."

Fang Tianding smiled and said, "When you meet a master, remember to give your brother Tianding's name."

Zhang Chu nodded in agreement, raised his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you, Lord Governor, for your hospitality these days. I will keep this kindness in my heart at the beginning of the month."

Zheng Baiyu, who was being ignored by the side, quickly pulled Li Jingxiong and asked the three of them: "Master Governor, what about me and Da Shitou?"

Fang Qifu smiled and said: "Bai Yu and Jing Xiong are welcome to come and sit in the house at any time."

Zheng Baiyu smiled brightly and pulled Li Jingxiong to imitate Zhang Yue's example of thanking him.

Among the crowd, only Fang Suxiao remained silent, staring at Zhang Yue sadly.

Zhang Yue naturally understood her mood at the moment, and did not say any words to comfort her. He just nodded to her gently.

Then Fang Suxiao seemed to have figured something out, put away her gloomy expression, and returned his gentle eyes.

As the saying goes, there is a clear understanding between hearts, and both of them understood it at this time.

If the two feelings last for a long time, how can they be in the morning and evening?
