"sister……"
Fang Shiyi walked over from another path.
Fang Shiqing instinctively hid the branches behind his back. Fang Shiyi pretended not to see it and said softly: "My brother-in-law asked the servants to work early in the morning in order to build the workshop. He hasn't had breakfast yet."
"You deserve to starve to death!"
Fang Shiqing dropped a word, threw the branch and turned around.
Fang Shiyi sighed softly. She did not leave, but continued to walk towards the construction site.
"Brother-in-law, it's freezing cold, how can you go to work in the fields?" She originally wanted to say that the heavy work was done by the servants, and there was no need for him to do it himself.
But she couldn't bear to say this in front of her servants. Although they were all servants, Fang Shiyi didn't want to hurt their self-esteem.
"It was cold at first, but it stopped being cold when I started working. Instead, it was very warm."
Kong Fang explained.
He did not stop what he was doing. Cement was a new thing and he had to personally instruct how to use it and even mix the cement himself.
Seeing his enthusiastic look, Fang Shiyi understood that her persuasion was useless.
But the Fang family is not only a big landowner, but also has thousands of hectares of fertile land, as well as pharmacies in the village and city. They are among the top wealthy families in Qinghe County.
The Daxing Dynasty respected etiquette and there was always a distinction between superiority and inferiority. However, my brother-in-law ignored the etiquette and went out of his way to go out of his way to work with his servants, just in case...
Let’s not talk about what happens, just let’s see how he gets through the hurdle of his sister! ?
"Brother-in-law, come up here. I have something to tell you."
Fang Shiyi waved to Kong Fang.
Kong Fang was quite obedient to his sister-in-law's call. He put down his shovel and walked over, stamping his feet to shake the grout off his shoes.
"Shiyi, what do you want to say?"
He breathed in the hot air, and there was smoke in front of his eyes. Under the morning light, he felt like he was floating in the air. Fang Shiyi pinched herself quietly to wake herself up.
"My sister was here just now."
"Oh, just come. Where is she?"
"gone."
"oh."
"No, why did you leave without asking your sister?"
"Yes, why did she leave?"
"..."
After the conversation, Fang Shiyi was a little confused. Didn't her brother-in-law and sister reconcile? Why does his tone of voice still sound so calm?
"Brother-in-law, we are a big family. My sister is half the head of the family. She has always been very strict with her family."
Her words were very euphemistic, but Kong Fang understood her.
——He got into trouble again!
He suddenly felt a little pain.
One is career, the other is wife.
The business is a brand new one, and even the building materials are brand new. I don’t dare to let go easily, so I can only carry it myself.
He doesn't dare to offend his wife easily.
Although he is a magistrate respected by all the people outside, at home he is just a family man with no family status.
"Go back and change out of your dirty clothes and shoes. Today is different from the past. Although my sister is angry, she won't do anything to you again." Fang Shiyi comforted softly.
"If you are worried about the workshop, you can supervise the work."
Kong Fang nodded.
That's all.
He turned around and told the servant to pay attention again, and then went back with Fang Shiyi. After he finished taking a shower and put on clean clothes, he came to the hall and unexpectedly found that Fang Shiqing was still waiting for him.
Of course, wait for him to have breakfast, not wait for his execution.
"Brother-in-law, where have you been so early in the morning? Do you want to starve me to death?" Fang Shibo complained when he saw him.
He was very annoyed when the eldest sister refused to use the chopsticks before everyone arrived.
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Shiqing's chopsticks hit him on the head.
"Are you that hungry?"
"..."
Fang Shibo's face was filled with grievances. Since the eldest sister reconciled with her brother-in-law, his family status has begun to decline, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to stay in this family.
It’s just that the sky is so big, where is my place?
Fan Juanjuan fell in love with Yun Fei'er...
Don’t talk anymore. If you talk too much, you will shed tears.
so……
It's better to continue to stay at home.
"Uncle Fang has to take care of the family affairs, and he cannot be left out at the cement workshop; Shiyi has to be in charge of the pharmacy; you know I have never been interested in these things, I only manage the county soldiers, who do you want to take care of the salt workshop?" ?”
Regardless of Fang Shibo's depressed mood, Fang Shiqing opened his mouth to discuss the salt workshop with Kong Fang. It was rare for my wife to take the initiative to discuss important matters with me. Kong Fang did not dare to neglect and immediately put down his chopsticks and said solemnly:
"I have also considered this matter. In fact, I am most happy with you..."
"Stop!" Fang Shiqing stopped him rudely.
"Of course, I respect your opinion very much. You like military life, and I support it very much. In fact, I am truly relieved that the county army is in your hands."
Kong Fang carefully released the rainbow fart, and as expected, a small blush appeared on Fang Shiqing's cold and pretty face.
“As for the salt-making workshop, I think I’ll leave it to Shibo,” he said.
Fang Shibo suddenly raised his head and looked at Kong Fang innocently, "Brother-in-law, I'm still a child, I don't want to do this anymore."
Kong Fang pretended not to see or hear anything, and wanted you to do some work. You thought you were too young. Why didn't you say you were underage when you were picking up girls?
"If you are willing to help manage the salt-making workshop, I will give you ten taels of pocket money every month." Fang Shiqing glanced sideways at Fang Shibo.
Fang Shibo's eyes flashed, and then he lowered his head. The joy in his heart kept gushing out, and he didn't want them to find out.
After managing his emotions, he said: "Actually, it's not about the amount of money. After all, I am also a member of the Fang family."
"you mean……?"
"Since my brother-in-law believes in me, I'll do it. Even though I'm young, I still have to take responsibility. Sister, don't you agree?"
"That's right. Since you are so enlightened, you can save money." Fang Shiqing put down the bowl and chopsticks.
"I'm full, you eat slowly."
She got up to leave.
Fang Shibo was anxious, "No, sister, why did you change your mind so quickly?"
"Why have I changed my mind?" Fang Shiqing was unhappy.
The anxious Fang Shibo pretended not to notice her displeasure and said, "Of course it's money. You just said you would give me ten taels of silver a month as pocket money. How come it's all gone after a while?"
"Didn't you say it's not about the money? That's your responsibility!" Fang Shiqing countered.
"Those are polite words, don't you understand?"
"I didn't understand, I took it seriously."
"Sister, you are too bullying."
"A man keeps his promise, don't let me underestimate you! Okay, I will give you five taels a month for now. If you perform well, I will increase it for you as appropriate."
Fang Shiqing grimaced and his tone became serious.
"Remember, don't bargain with me, otherwise you won't even get a penny."
These words were the final word.
Fang Shibo was scared.
The eldest sister is not the second sister. Once she becomes fierce, he can't handle it.
"well……"
He let out a long sigh, and the delicious breakfast on the table suddenly became dull.
The naughty child has not seen real society, and has been beaten up by society.
Kong Fang's eyes were filled with sympathy.
