I feel good about leaving get off work early.
Fang Zheng left the palace early in the morning, found a carriage and rushed home.
Along the way, Zhengyi kept thinking about today's meeting with Emperor Jing.
Although everyone was offended, overall it went smoothly... The most unexpected thing was that Emperor Jing was actually Li Long.
Fortunately, the emperor had a good opinion of himself.
It's just that it's a bit of a headache for me to have the task of teaching the prince. The prince is obviously in the rebellious stage. Judging from the emperor's performance, if he can't teach him well, he may be riding a tiger...
While he was thinking about the future education policy for the prince, the carriage had stopped.
The coachman shouted from outside: "Master, we're here."
Then Fang Zheng paid and got out of the car. The first thing he saw was Bai Yi, looking around at the gate without knowing what he was doing.
Bai Yi also happened to see Fang Zhengyi, and almost laughed out loud when he saw that his clothes were messy and he was covered in ink spots.
Taking small steps, he greeted him enthusiastically: "Ah... Master, why are you back so early? Are these clothes...?"
Fang Zhengyi, with a dark face, pointed towards the corner: "Go! Stand over there and eat in the evening before entering the house."
"???"
Bai Yi suddenly elongated his face, flattened his mouth, and walked slowly towards the corner.
Whatever he says is whatever he says....I'm used to it....
Then Fang Zheng walked straight into the courtyard and quickly turned back.
Bai Yi felt happy when he saw someone come out. Fang Zhengyi was always unpredictable, was he letting him in again? It's not pleasant to stand here in the cold weather.
"Where's Xiaotao?"
"..., he said he was out looking for someone."
"Oh, let her come to see me when she comes back. You stand in a different place and look at the gate."
"..."
After the explanation, Fang Zhengyi returned to the lounge chair in the courtyard, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he slowly fell asleep.
After a while, I felt someone pushing me. When I opened my eyes, I saw it was Xiao Tao.
Exhaustion was written all over his face.
"Master, are you looking for me?"
"Where have you been?" Fang Zheng rubbed his eyes and stood up.
Xiao Tao said angrily: "Where else can we go! Didn't you ask me to find that Li Long? And I went out to find a few jobs today and came back to repair the hut. Isn't it your responsibility?"
Thinking of letting Xiao Taobai run away for two days, Fang Zheng laughed twice: "Thank you for your hard work, um... Li Long doesn't have to look for it anymore, that's it."
"Hey, where is the man who built the hut?"
"come tomorrow."
Okay, Fang Zhengyi shook his head helplessly, saying that this latrine is the most important thing to him.
Thinking back when I first came to Jingguo, this matter was Fang Zhengyi's number one enemy!
People don't pay much attention to using the toilet. It's convenient anywhere. Some people even just pick up their pants and leave! Fang Zheng thought it was evil. Later, under his absolute authority, he ordered the people in the county to clean up their hygiene, and this changed.
When we arrived in the capital, there were no pipes or toilets, so it would take some time to modify them....
Fang Zhengyi couldn't help but feel sad when he thought that there was no flush toilet available. He also didn't know how the protagonists in the novels he read in his previous life solved this problem...
"I mean, young master...you were beaten in court? Why are your clothes spread out and stained with ink? Bring it quickly and I'll wash it for you."
Fang Zheng glared at them one by one: "Nonsense! Who dares to beat me up? These clothes can't be washed. I brought new official uniforms and took the old clothes to frame them! Use the best materials! Then hang them on the screen wall, and write a few more words next to them. Character!"
"What to write..." Xiao Tao muttered in her heart. She didn't know what the young master was thinking. Can the official uniform be framed?
Fang Zheng thought about it, then shook his head and said, "Write it on the screen wall where my emperor splashed ink!"
Xiao Tao was dumbfounded: "This...this...is this ink stain caused by the emperor? Have you made the emperor angry!?"
Fang Zhengyi lay down again, waved his hands and said, "Stop talking nonsense and go quickly. Your Majesty and I are as good as one person. He eats and I pick up the food!"
"I'm going to bed first. Call me after dinner in the evening. Oh, and Xiaobai, she is responsible for guarding the door now. Let her in during dinner!"
"...." Xiao Tao glanced helplessly towards the door.
Poor Xiaobai, I don’t know why I provoked the young master again
...
In the Shangshu Mansion, Zhang Shi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue, and his son were sitting across from each other at the table, chatting.
"Dad, is Fang Zhengyi really as bold as you said?" Zhang Chang put down his chopsticks and asked in surprise.
Zhang Shi nodded and said with a smile: "This son... Haha, he is really audacious. He angered everyone when he first entered the palace, especially for daring to openly contradict Mr. Zhang and His Majesty."
"With such a perverse character, it would be difficult for him to last forever, but His Majesty does think highly of him."
Zhang Chang said sarcastically: "I didn't expect that such a idiot could stand in the court with dignity. It's really ridiculous. Then I..."
Zhang Shi saw Zhang Chang's thoughts and said slowly: "What are you in a hurry for? That Fang Zhengyi just wanted to be lucky enough to be valued by His Majesty, and he raised his tail to the sky after being granted a title that was not worth mentioning."
"Who cares about a penniless Taoyuan County? Chang'er, with your father here, are you still worried about your future career being unlucky?"
"You don't need to do anything else. There is nothing wrong with drinking and drinking tea with those Jizi Longwen every day. It will be easier to move around in the future if you get to know more people. If you enter the court later, you will be busy!"
"Stop complaining to your father then!"
Zhang Chang grinned and quickly poured a glass of wine for Zhang Shi: "Dad, I'm not in a hurry. I drink and recite poems and compose poems every day and am very happy. But suddenly I felt a little angry when I heard this little guy like Fang Zhengyi."
"Good-for-nothing! Do you take a seventh-grade petty official seriously? Judging from the attitude of the princes, he, the prince's companion, will be kicked out in a short time! How much real talent can he have with his sharp tongue? Ah"
While the father and son were talking and laughing, the housekeeper suddenly walked in.
He bowed and said, "Master, there is a man outside looking for the young master. His name is Jia Liang. He is waiting in the courtyard now."
Jia Liang? Zhang Chang stood there thinking for a while before he remembered.
This man is the shopkeeper of Fulai Tower for him, and he rarely interacts with him on weekdays. Why did he come to see him at this time today?
"Dad, let me go and take a look."
Zhang Chang walked to the courtyard and saw Jia Liang walking around in circles. He frowned and said, "Jia Liang! What do you want from me?"
When Jia Liang saw that the real master had come, he looked happy. Then he quickly knelt down and cried, "Master, please make the decision for me!!"
