Twin Brocade

Chapter 221 Hesitation

He mentioned this because he knew that the Fang family was not enough for the boss's family.If the marriage proposal is rejected, it can be delayed for a while.

At that time, his heart was full of fog, as to where the road ahead was.He clearly knew that he should marry a wife and have children as soon as possible to continue the Fang family's bloodline, but he kept procrastinating.He also knew that if he wanted to cheer up the Fang family, he couldn't be decadent anymore, but he didn't want to focus on his official career, so he was in a daze all day long.

Unexpectedly, after the mother asked the matchmaker to come to the door, the Si family actually replied that it takes time to think about it, instead of rejecting it outright.What was even more unexpected was that Si Yuanming was willing to marry his only prostitute daughter to him.

Thinking of this, Fang Shuyu smiled more gently, stroked Si Lansheng's beautiful hair and said, "It is my blessing to marry you."

If it wasn't for her, he didn't know how long he would give up on himself.When Si Yuanming entrusted his prostitute daughter to him, he talked to him alone. These words made him realize the responsibility on his shoulders and aroused his fighting spirit.

Up to now, he is grateful to Si Lansheng and the Si family.Because of her trust, he came out of the gloomy trough in his life and achieved his current achievements.You can even fight for the imperial edict.

Seeing his wife's cheeks flushed slightly, he knew that she was always gentle, and he couldn't bear her to be shy anymore, so he changed the subject and said, "Quan'er will stay by my side. At his age, it's time to introduce him to his seniors."

This is a good thing, Si Lansheng agreed softly.

In previous years, because Fang Ziquan was still young, Fang Shuyu wanted to grind his temper.Except for attending classes in the school, he is not allowed to go out to meet friends.I'm afraid that if he has a little knowledge, he will be too ostentatious.

Fang Shuyu brought him by his side this time, in order to introduce him to his contacts in the officialdom in advance.Civil servants' families are passed down from generation to generation in this way.In addition to making a name for yourself, the Xuewen Club is also a rare opportunity to expand your network.

As ministers in the same hall, even if we see each other every day, there will be no chance to make friends and get close.Classmates, same year, same subject, colleagues, these are the default circles in official circles.Other than that, you need honest reasons to make friends, such as birthday banquets, poetry gatherings, weddings and funerals, etc.

Otherwise, if two people who were not in the same circle suddenly had a banquet in private, they would be suspected of forming a clique for personal gain, which violated the emperor's taboo.

Meiying Hall is located in the eastern suburbs, and it is full of ingenious workmanship, winding paths leading to secluded places, towering old trees, red pillars and green tiles, pavilions, pavilions, pools and waterside pavilions, and the scenery is wonderful and beautiful.

What's more, it is said to be a hall, but it actually occupies more than half of the mountain, with scenery throughout the year.The most famous one is a large red plum grove.The pistils spit out after snow, too beautiful to behold.

The Xuewen Festival is held there every year, and it deserves its name.

It turned out to be the other courtyard of a former prince, and many rare treasures were collected in it.After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Gaomang was owned by the royal family and became a royal villa.Royal descendants often call friends in Plum Shadow Hall.

Because there will be hundreds of officials and their female relatives participating in the appreciation of snow, plus the attendants and maidservants, there are thousands of people, no mansion can accommodate so many people.Only here is the most suitable place, and the Guozijian sacrificial wine was borrowed to hold it.

At Maoshi the next day, there were still a few thin stars hanging in the night sky, and many houses in Beijing were lit up.From the prime minister down to the seventh-rank officials, they are all making preparations for today's snow appreciation event.

Xiuwenfang was brightly lit, and every household got up early.

It is not as convenient for the female relatives to go out as the males. Make-up and clothes, accompanying maids, and spare silk handkerchief dresses all have to be thoughtful and meticulous.For such a large-scale literary meeting, if there is no accident, all the officials and family members will be there.In Qunfang Country, no one wants to be looked down upon. Although it's not spring, it's a time for rivalry.

Fang Xin brought over the dress that was ironed and scented yesterday, and waited on Fang Jinshu to change it from inside to outside, and finally put a blue and white peony swallow hand warmer on her hand.

Smelling the faint fragrance coming from the clothes, Fang Jinshu smiled slightly at the person in the mirror, lifted his skirt and walked out.

The Snow Appreciation Society spread invitations widely, inviting Beijing officials and family members above the seventh rank, but not everyone can go.

Rank [-] and above, you can bring any family members with you, rank [-] can bring two people, and rank [-] can only bring one person.Qipin can only go alone, and his family has no chance to participate in this grand event.

According to Fang Shuyu's grade, it is not enough to bring his boss Lan Sheng and three children with him.But Fang Mu is a fourth-rank Beijing official, so he has these places.But only the direct relatives of the two can go, and everyone in the second room is not qualified.

Fang Mu, Mrs. Fang, Fang Shuyu, Si Lansheng, and three grandchildren Fang Ziquan, Fang Jinhui, and Fang Jinshu participated in the Fang family's snow appreciation event, making a total of seven people.

Due to time constraints, people in each house had breakfast in their own rooms, and after freshening up, they went to Ci'an Hall to pay their respects.

After everyone said a few words, Fang Mu waved his hand and said, "It's all gone. The Xuewen Appreciation Conference is a big event, you all should be quiet at home, and don't make any troubles."

He was the head of the family, and everyone who was not qualified to participate in the literary meeting accepted, and watched the seven of them go out.

Fang Jinyi looked eagerly at their well-dressed backs. At this time, the boundaries between concubine and concubine were so clear that it made her feel sad.She never had the chance to participate in such a grand event in her life.

There was a slight gleam of light in the sky, and the remaining stars tried their best to shine the last light.The servant woman held a lantern to illuminate the road under her feet, Fang Mu led the head, and Fei Cui helped Mrs. Fang to walk in front.

The group of people had just turned around the corner of the veranda when a few people rushed towards them.

Pang Shi walked in the front and saluted Fang Mu politely, saying, "Uncle, my brother and sister have something to ask."

She dared to play tricks in front of Mrs. Fang, but she didn't dare to provoke Fang Mu.Because of Fang Shuren's marriage, the relationship between her and the head of the house was greatly eased, and she couldn't bear to make trouble, so she had to speak softly.

Fang Mu paused and frowned slightly.

This appreciation of Xuewen is not comparable to others, and it pays great attention to the order.Except for Su Jijiu, who presided over the literary meeting, the higher the official rank, the later he arrived, and vice versa.He is a fourth-rank official, if he arrives later than a third-rank official, it would be considered extremely rude.

"What's the matter?" In any case, there was no time to waste.But Ponzi had come to him, so he had to ask.

Pang stepped aside to the right, revealing Fang Jinpei, who was beautiful and charming behind her, and said, "Uncle, girl Pei will turn twelve next month, but she hasn't seen anything big yet."

"I know it's inappropriate, but his father just left the two sisters behind, so I have to do something for them. I also hope that for her father's sake, uncle, let girl Pei follow her to open her eyes. .”

It was rare for Pang to be so reasonable, but Si Lansheng frowned slightly.

It is difficult to deal with the aggressive Ponzi, but it is even more difficult to refuse Ponzi who is so soft and begging for help.

Fang Mu looked up at the sky, then at Fang Jinpei, feeling a little hesitant for a moment.
