Twin Brocade

Chapter 173 Chess Pieces
The husband and wife looked at each other, and each could see the fear in the other's eyes.

Fang Shuyu shook Si Lansheng's hand, and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid, there is something we haven't seen yet. Heaven's power is unpredictable, but it's a good thing."

For the courtiers, such Emperor Qinglong is a wise monarch worthy of allegiance.Especially for a rising star with a weak foundation like the Fang family, an enterprising emperor will obviously create more opportunities than a conservative emperor.

Feeling the warmth from her husband's palm, Si Lansheng swallowed hard and said, "If I had known this, I shouldn't have accepted Lord Zhu's kindness."

The Fang family didn't have any powerful background originally, if he could be a pure minister, Fang Shuyu's promotion would be just around the corner.

"One moment and another moment," Fang Shuyu comforted her, and said, "At that time, without Master Zhu's support, I'm afraid it would be very difficult for the direct branch to leave the capital safely."

The storm brought by Emperor Qinglong when he ascended the throne swept the entire court.Before the blood at Caishikou had dried and the executioner's blade hadn't been sharpened, a large number of officials had been implicated and sacked, and the Fang family's direct branch was just one of them.

After all, Fang Mu's family and his direct branch belong to the same family, and they are connected by blood. This is a bond that cannot be erased no matter what.

If it hadn't been for Prime Minister Zhu Zihou's action, he would have only cut officials for the people of the direct branch, but convicted him of exile for thousands of miles.Fang Mu will be implicated, but he will be promoted instead.

The Fang family reciprocated and became the new recruits of Zhu Zihou's faction.

Fang Mu didn't want to stand in line when the new emperor came to the throne, but it was an indisputable fact that Zhu Zihou had protected the Fang family.Even if he didn't take the initiative to express his opinion, the Fang family would still be branded as a member of the Zhu family.Simply make it a little more beautiful, so as not to leave a pretext of a white-eyed wolf.

Si Lansheng is also aware of the twists and turns, but thinking about it now, she is unwilling to do so.Thinking of the day's events again in his heart, he frowned and said: "How come at this juncture, Guichenghou's mansion wants to accept Fang Mudi as a concubine. The second aunt even opened her mouth to ask for the gift money."

Wu Hanlin had already taken one of the two imperial imperial edicts, and the remaining seven had to fight for the remaining one.

Fang Shuyu's talent and learning are outstanding, but there is freedom in her chest.But there are dragons and crouching tigers hidden in the Hanlin Academy, and no one is easy to deal with.At this time, you have to fight your skills and strength, and you have to desperately drag your opponent into the water.

At such a critical moment, if the Fang family gave their concubine's daughter to Cui Sheng as a concubine, wouldn't it be an excuse for the opponent?Even if there is no wind, there will be waves of three feet, not to mention that there are reasons to criticize.

"Quan'er came to me specifically for this matter." Although the matter was difficult, Fang Shuyu was relieved that Fang Ziquan could see the impact of this marriage on the Fang family.

Fang Mu supports the entire Fang family, but because of his age, it is extremely difficult for him to advance in his official career.As Fang Shuyu's eldest son, whatever position he sits in, the Fang family will get that status.

But in the end, the future of the Fang family is still in Fang Ziquan's hands.He can have such a vision, let Fang Shuyu directly call out someone who will succeed him.

"This marriage is absolutely unacceptable. I will talk to my father tomorrow and ask my second uncle to come forward and refuse." Fang Shuyu said, "It's not just to fight for the position of the imperial edict. of."

"It's a woman's opinion to ask for a bride price!" Even Fang Shuyu, a refined gentleman, scoffed at Pang's behavior.

The courtiers could see the late emperor's attitude towards these families.Emperor Qinglong's thunderous tactics made these Houfus who had surrendered from the previous dynasty tighten their tails and become human beings.

Leaving aside the practice of civil servants not marrying nobles, the Fang family should stay away from Cui Sheng's identity alone.

As long as Fang Zhe steps forward, Si Lansheng is not worried that Pang will not follow.Seeing that her husband settled the matter in a few words, she smiled slightly and added: "The marriage of my niece can no longer be placed in the hands of my second aunt."

"Young lady is thoughtful." Fang Shuyu praised and said, "I will talk to my father."

Although Fang Mudi said that she was just a little concubine and was unremarkable, but she was born so stunning, if Pang's decision was made, maybe some disaster would happen.

She was able to fight for her own destiny, and Si Lansheng felt more pity for her in her heart.However, taking this opportunity to gain the dominance of her marriage is more to allow her to use it for herself and pave the way for Fang Shuyu's promotion.

The education she received since she was a child told Si Lansheng that for the benefit of the family, every chess piece must be used well.Concubine daughters are the best way to expand your network, and for the Fang family to prosper, each in-law must be carefully selected.

The fate of concubines in the family is mostly like this. Whether they can marry a good family depends on the conscience of the mistress, and on the other hand, depends on their own planning.Fang Mudi's marriage is in Si Lansheng's hands, although it will become a pawn, it is better than being held in the palm of Pang's hands.

Seeing his wife wholeheartedly planning for himself, Fang Shuyu's heart was relieved a lot, and he smiled slightly: "If you get a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for!"

The two have been married for many years, but his face is still as handsome as when they first met.Si Lansheng's heart skipped a beat, and she snuggled into his arms, the atmosphere became sweet and charming.

Si Lansheng couldn't bear to spoil such a beautiful time.She told herself in her heart: Husband is already very tired with a few things in a row, and Hui'er's marriage is not in a hurry, it's the same if we talk about it tomorrow.

Fang Shuyu reached out to cover the candlelight, put down the veil, and the two fell down on the lake-colored embroidered quilt like swans crossing their necks.

The night is getting darker.

Like many nights, Fang Zhe still slept outside this night.

He didn't want to go back to the home in Xiuwenfang, not because of Pang's nagging and complaining, but because everything in Fangfu made him feel ashamed.

From the romantic talent back then, to the present situation.He was resentful and unwilling, but his brother tolerated everything he did.

When he was breaking the jar, he even hoped that his elder brother would sever his brotherhood with him and let him fend for himself.But no matter how he made trouble and made trouble, Fang Mu followed him and cleaned up the mess for him.

He remarried a wife for him, and took on the responsibility of taking care of his wife and children without complaint.As a husband, he has never done anything but sow seeds.

Extreme low self-esteem made him mess around even more.But one day, he realized that his whole life was like a rag, which could be used, but was tossed into a rag by himself.

This made him feel ashamed to face his brother and sister-in-law, and hang around all day long.

He has some money on him, and in the marketplace, he can pretend to be an uncle and enjoy the admiration of everyone.Of course, this money is also the monthly money issued by the public.

Tonight, it looked no different from before.But the sound of "bang bang bang" slamming on the door startled the wild dogs in the alley, and they barked "Wow, woof, woof".
