Chapter 175: Reunion After a Long Absence, Fang Xing

When they arrived at Fangjiazhuang, Fang Xing led the little white horse and walked slowly.

There are not many people in the village today, and most of them went to the Jubao Gate to watch the prisoners.

After harvesting, the field looked bleak and lonely, and a farmer's domestic sheep was lazily grazing.

"you lose!"

"I didn't lose, you cheated just now!"

The two children were fighting grass, Fang Xing couldn't help laughing at their serious appearance.

At home, Zhang Shuhui said in surprise, "Husband, why are you back now?"

"I didn't have much fun looking at the back, so I left early."

Fang Xing felt as if he had participated in a grand event, and felt a little tired afterwards.

"Where's Xiaobai?"

Seeing that Xiaobai was not there, Fang Xing asked.

Zhang Shuhui pursed her lips and said with a smile: "The girl couldn't sit still, she took the bell to find the hare, and said she wanted to eat stir-fried rabbit meat at night."

"OK!"

Fang Xing rubbed his stomach, feeling a little hungry.

"Master, the officials from the Ministry of Rituals are here."

A servant girl came in with a little panic and reported.

Fang Xing got up abruptly, he was worried that he might have slipped away early and caused a certain important person to get angry.

Hurrying to the front yard, I saw two officials sitting in the front hall drinking tea with relaxed expressions.

The big stone in Fang Xing's heart fell to the ground, and he cupped his hands and said: "The two adults came to the humble house. I am sorry to welcome you, and I hope you will forgive me."

"Hehe! Mr. Fang, congratulations."

"Congratulations? Where does the joy come from?"

Fang Xing asked confusedly.

One of them said with a smile: "Mr. Fang has made great achievements in the Southern Expedition, and tomorrow there will be a decree for rewards. Today, the two of us are here to meet the decree."

Receiving orders at this time is not so simple,

Officials from the Ministry of Rituals will come one day in advance to inspect the situation of the recipients, and also give pointers on the layout and etiquette.

Only then did Fang Xing breathe a sigh of relief, and then arranged according to the wishes of the two of them.

"Cheer up, tomorrow will be a good day for the young master!"

The wrinkles on Fang Jielun's face were filled with joy, calling for the family members to clean up.

"The corners of the walls should also be cleaned."

Fang Xing sent off the two officials from the Ministry of Rituals, so of course he had to give some benefits before leaving.

"This is the unspoken rule!"

Fang Xing shook his head and came back, seeing that everyone was happy, he smiled and said: "It's good to take this opportunity to clean up, but it's old seven."

Xin Laoqi dropped the broom and came over.

"Pay attention to the people who will follow you tomorrow."

Fang Xing was frightened by the last time when Jin Yiwei pretended to be a fishmonger and groped in. He was afraid that some unfriendly people would get in among the people who would deliver the decree tomorrow.

Old Seventh Xin said murderously: "Master, now our family also has rewards. If such a group of people come again, I will let them only come in and out!"

After the Southern Expedition army presented the prisoners, the generals could go home and wait for the evening banquet in the palace.

Fang Zheng returned to Tianfei Lane impatiently, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that there were no people blocking the door and shouting.

"Ma'am, I'm back!"

There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and then the door was opened, revealing a small face.

"Daddy?"

Doudou looked at Fang Zheng with some hesitation.

Fang Zheng swept his bearded beard into his arms, laughed and picked up his son.

Yao Shi also ran out in a hurry. Seeing Fang Zheng, his face softened, and he immediately shouted, "You still know how to go home! I thought you forgot about our mother and daughter during sex!"

"How can it be!"

Fang Zheng put down his son and was about to say goodbye to his wife, but Doudou knelt on the ground in a respectful manner and said, "Father has worked hard in the war, and my son has studied hard at home, honoring my mother, and not embarrassing my father."

Fang Zheng was surprised, picked up his son and looked at Yao.

Mrs. Yao said proudly: "Since Doudou went to Fangjiazhuang, I won't talk about her academic progress. The key is that she knows how to help me manage the house when she returns home, and she is much more sensible. This is all thanks to Mr. Fang!"

Speaking of Fang Xing, Yao Shi saw that her husband's face was not looking well, so she asked.

Fang Zheng touched the top of Doudou's head, and said with some disapproval: "Fang Xing Nanzheng has made great achievements, but today I heard from a servant that at most he would confer rewards on empty posts."

"No way……"

Yao felt that with Zhu Di's clear rewards and punishments, such outrageous rewards were impossible.

Fang Zheng walked in with one hand, and said as he walked, "Fang Xing just joined the army with a white body. I don't know if it's for this reason..."

"The prince is back!"

After a flurry of activity in the British government, Zhang Fu and the two wives went to the old lady's place together.

When he got outside the courtyard, Zhang Fu saw his old mother was being supported and greeted slowly, his eyes became hot, and he walked quickly.

With a thud, Zhang Fu knelt on the ground, caught his mother's hands, and said with a sob: "The son is not filial and stays away from his mother. Fortunately, he came back today. Fortunately, his mother is in good health."

The old lady leaned over and stretched out her hand to touch Zhang Fu's face, and said in a trembling voice, "Okay, okay! Just come back!"

In ancient times, it was common for generals to go out for several years and not return home. It is very likely that when they return, they will find that there are fewer people in the family, especially the elders.

After going in and sitting down, talking about the Battle of Cochin Rebellion, the old lady knew that her son must have no chance of promotion, so she asked Fang Xing about the reward.

Zhang Fu glanced down the hall, and all the maids retreated without hearing footsteps. Then Zhang Fucai said: "Brother-in-law is probably a Feng San official this time."

"Why? Didn't you write to say that he has made great achievements?"

the old lady asked.

The eldest lady lowered her eyes, hiding the gloating in her eyes.

The second lady frowned, she was very young, so she didn't hide her emotions yet.

Zhang Fu was not displeased at all, but said with a smile: "Mother, Dehua knows how to advance and retreat, and this is what he himself asked for."

"What?"

The eldest lady was stunned, while the second lady was thoughtful. Only the old lady nodded and said: "He is a good boy, Fuer, you should take care of him and Shuhui in the future, don't let anyone bully him because he is a low-ranking official." .”

Zhang Fu couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, and then said in a low voice: "Mother, don't worry, Dehua's good days are yet to come!"

The old lady clapped her hands and said with a smile: "That's right, I even forgot that he is still the grandson's teacher. With this kind of relationship, the Fang family can't be broken."

The second wife also showed a sad face and said: "Yes! Sister Hui's husband is very stable. I have never heard of him going to and from the place of fireworks and willow lanes, let alone his wives and concubines. He is a lucky man."

Seeing that everyone was praising Fang Xing and Zhang Shuhui's blessings, the eldest lady was not far behind, she held her handkerchief and said slowly: "I heard that Master Ji, the commander of Jin Yiwei, intends to recruit my brother-in-law, this is a great blessing! Hehehe! !"

Under the old lady's gaze, the eldest lady's laughter gradually weakened.

Zhang Fu frowned and said, "Why haven't I heard of this?"

The eldest lady wanted to answer, but the second lady got up and said: "You are busy with business, and besides, my brother-in-law immediately rejected this matter, so we didn't inform you in the letter from home."

Although Ji Gang asked someone to recruit Fang Xing, although it was a secret, Fang Xing graciously refused, letting all the dignitaries who should know know about it.

The eldest lady pretended to be worried and said: "Master Guo, you have to be careful, that Ji Gang has been very domineering recently!"

"Domineering? Hmph!"

Zhang Fu snorted disdainfully, Ji Gang was domineering, but if he dared to strike at those countless relatives, the subsequent revenge would be unforgettable to the Ji family forever. (To be continued.)
