Fang La, whose father had just passed away less than a year ago and who had just taken over the family business, was standing in his lacquer garden.
Looking at the trees all over the mountains and fields, his face was gloomy at the moment, showing anger.
The Fang family is considered a wealthy family in Qingxi County, and three generations have been running the lacquer garden.
Moreover, in the lacquer garden, there are not only a large amount of lacquer, but also fine timber such as mulberry trees and fir trees.
The Fang family is naturally quite prosperous, but over the years, Wang Xiaoer's New Year celebrations have obviously become worse than the previous year.
After all, it was not just because the Emperor of the Song Dynasty set up the Yingfeng Bureau in Suzhou.
Whether it's the Fang family's lacquer garden, or the surrounding counties and counties, any family with some resources, or a wealthy household that deals in specialty products.
They were often harassed by officials, who often came to seize wood and make lacquer to supply the Suzhou Yingfeng Bureau.
It is said that these gadgets were all needed by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, which made the Fang family, which was originally quite wealthy, more and more difficult to operate in the past few years.
After all, it was supposed to be sold, but it was forcibly confiscated by the government, even though the government left the property behind.
But with that little money, it's not even enough to cover the cost. This is simply an unbearable pace.
Fang La, who was less than thirty years old, was tall and wanted to go out of Qingxi to start a career in his early years, but his father was frail and sick.
In the end, Fang La could only stay in his hometown and serve his parents wholeheartedly.
I thought that if I stayed in my hometown, I could make the ancestral lacquer garden in full swing, but...
Just when Fang La stood there sighing and sighing, he heard the sound of galloping hooves.
Fang La turned around and saw that it was his tall sister Fang Baihua who was coming on horseback.
Don't look at the fact that although the eldest sister Fang Baihua is a woman, she has been practicing martial arts since she was a child and is skilled in bow and horse. Although he is only fifteen years old now, he looks slim and charming.
At this moment, on horseback, her skin was as white as snow. She was dressed like a handsome young man, but her figure, which had begun to develop, already showed her tall and graceful figure.
"Sister, why are you here?" Fang La smiled and walked towards her.
"Brother, a businessman from the north came to the house. He said he has a big business and wants to find him."
"After searching for a long time, I found out that brother you have come to Qiyuan."
"A businessman from a foreign country?" After hearing this, Fang La's eyes suddenly lit up, and he waved to Zhuang Ding to get his mount and get on his horse. The two brothers and sister rode hand in hand and galloped towards the outside of the lacquer garden.

Behind Zhang Yasi, six powerful guards from the imperial city in disguise stood, and at the gate of Fang Mansion, there were ten guards.
Fang Mansion is considered wealthy in Qingxi Garden, but that's it. Most of the villagers in the family stay in the farm or in the lacquer garden.
There are not many people in the mansion, otherwise, Zhang Yasi would not bring only a dozen people when he came.
However, considering Yang Douzhi's instructions, Zhang Yasi was also thinking about how he should take Fang La away.
Of course it's not impossible to be tough, but what if the Number One Scholar doesn't want him to arrest the other party, but has something to do and wants to have a good deal with the other party.
In that case, what I did was obviously making myself unhappy.
This is also the reason why Zhang Yasi revealed his identity as a businessman to Fang Mansion.
The old servant of the Fang family filled Zhang Yasi with tea in front of him, picked up the tea cup, and was about to drink when he heard the noise coming from outside.
After a short while, I saw the extremely beautiful tall young lady and a tall adult man striding towards me.
"This must be Fang Yuanzhu, the owner of Fang's Lacquer Garden."
Zhang Yasi smiled like a spring breeze at this moment, stood up and saluted Fang La.
"I don't dare to take it seriously. I've seen shopkeeper Zhang and I'm really embarrassed. Just now, Fang was busy in Qiyuan..."
After a while of greetings, the guests and hosts sat down each, and Fang Baihua stood behind Fang La as a matter of course.
Zhang Yasi didn't bother to pay attention, but smiled and got close to the Fang Yuan master.
"Actually, Zhang is just a small person who was ordered to run errands for my young master."
"My young master wants to build a garden in Suzhou..."
Hearing the name Yuanzi, Fang La felt a little confused in his heart. He couldn't help but subconsciously think of the scene a few days ago when people from the Suzhou Yingfeng Bureau came to his place to eat and get cards.
“…Not only did it require a lot of raw lacquer, but also large trees to build the pavilion, so I sent Zhang to do it, and Zhang also put in a lot of effort.
Only then did I know that only Fang Yuanzhu of Qingxi County could meet the needs of my young master. "
When Fang La heard this, he was naturally secretly happy. He was indeed a big businessman, and he began to carefully inquire about the materials and materials the other party needed.
Zhang Yasi dared to come here as a businessman, so he had done his homework. After all, as the leader of a spy organization, he was naturally good at these basic skills.
After the two discussed it, Zhang Yasi saw that Fang La was obviously moved.
But he still hesitated to go to Suzhou. Zhang Yasi stroked his short beard and waved to the guards beside him.
The guard behind him took out the small package and placed it on the desk.
After Zhang Yasi opened the package, Huang Haohan's things were neatly packed inside.
Fang La's breathing suddenly stagnated, and Fang Baihua beside her couldn't help but widen her charming bright eyes.

"Here are twenty taels of gold, which can be regarded as the deposit my young master gave you for Fang's Lacquer Garden."
"In this case, Master Fang Yuan, you should rest assured that your trip to Suzhou will not be in vain, right?"
Twenty taels of gold, Fang Lake really hadn't seen it for many years. After all, although Qiyuan's business was very prosperous in the past, it was mostly piecemeal business after all.
Later, the Zhu family wanted to build Tongyuan Garden, and the Fang Family Lacquer Garden became a warehouse for the Zhu family and his son to use at will.
Now that he suddenly has twenty taels of gold, not to mention the deposit, it is the business of twenty taels of gold, and Fang La will definitely do it.
"In that case, then Fang will go with shopkeeper Zhang."
Seeing Fang La standing up after patting his legs with his big hands, Zhang Yasi couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but glance at the twenty taels of gold again.
But then I thought about it, once this guy is tricked into being in front of Duke Zhuangyuan, these twenty taels of gold will naturally be returned to their original owners.
After all, this money belongs to the Imperial City Department, and there are really no people who dare to take the property of the Imperial City Department for nothing.
Fang La, accompanied by Zhang Yasi and his party, walked towards the outside of the mansion. Before they could take a few steps, they were grabbed by their own sister.
Fang Baihua, whose skin was as fair as snow, tall and graceful, looked at her elder brother longingly.
"Brother, let me go with you. Little sister, I haven't been to Suzhou City for a long time."
"..."
