Chapter 83 Fighting for Riches with the Country Landlord's Wife

It was spring, and more people came out to do things, and the traffic in Jinling City began to increase.

Fang Xing and his party entered the city and went straight to the British government.

The British government had a completely new look today, when Fang Xing got out of the carriage, he saw a bunch of people coming in and out.

After seeing the carriage on Fang Xing's side, a man greeted him. He first looked at the regulations of the carriage, and then asked with a relaxed expression, "May I ask why you came here today?"

It's polite, not festive at all.

Fang Xing frowned and said, "I was here last time, Fang Xing from Fangjiazhuang."

The man froze for a moment, probably he hadn't seen Fang Xing last time, and no one reminded him today, so he said awkwardly: "Dare to ask the distinguished guest and the Duke's mansion..."

What? Fang Xing felt that today was really not going well, but he couldn't get angry on his old mother-in-law's birthday, so he said, "You call Xue Huamin."

Fuck! Hearing Xue Huamin's name, the man immediately changed his face, and then trotted in.

"Husband, why don't you tell us our identities?"

Zhang Shuhui, who was bored in the car, felt a little strange.

"There are people coming and going at this gate, if everyone hears that His Majesty's brother-in-law is coming, how can it be quiet!"

Zhang Shuhui couldn't help laughing at Fang Xing's nonsense.

Not long after, Xue Huamin hurried over. He bowed his hands to Fang Xing and said apologetically, "Second Young Master, I'm very sorry, please follow me."

As soon as Xue Huamin waved, a woman came over and led the carriage into the side door.

Fang Xing looked at Xue Huamin's tired face, and said in relief, "Today are there too many guests?"

Xue Huamin nodded, shook his head again, and said proudly: "You don't know, ordinary guests are received by someone, but just now the second master and the third master came, so I can't spare my hand here, but I have neglected the second son-in-law."

When Fang Xing followed into the large courtyard dedicated to receiving distinguished guests, everyone outside was talking about it.

"Who is that person? Why don't I know him?"

Everyone in the British government knows everyone, but Fang Xing is Zhang Sheng's face. Moreover, Fang Xing's clothes didn't look like a wealthy family, and his temperament lacked the arrogance of his relatives, so he just talked about it and then dissipated.

Fang Xing was taken to a small room to drink tea, and a maid waited on him.

There is a garden outside the small house, and there are already more than a dozen people chatting outside in groups.

The tea is good tea, but a bit deserted.

Fang Xing didn't care, he took out the mathematics textbook he was writing recently, and carefully considered the details.

So far, Fang Xing's knowledge reserve is enough to deal with those three students, but there is no limit to learning, he has to prepare early.

"Brother Dehua!"

Fang Xing, who was concentrating on studying, looked up when he heard the sound, and saw Liu Pu.

Liu Pu said in surprise, "Brother Dehua, why are you here today?"

Can I tell you that today's birthday star is my mother-in-law?

Fang Xing said haha, "The weather is nice today!"

"It's not bad."

Liu Pu agreed casually, and when he saw the notebook in Fang Xing's hand, he immediately felt admiration.

"Brother Dehua, you are really learning all the time! No wonder you can become an old... pedantic heaven and man."

Liu Pu wanted to say the word 'old pedant' at first, but afterwards he secretly rejoiced, thinking that luckily he didn't say it, otherwise tomorrow would be bad luck.

But Fang Xing seemed to be smiling, but his heart was clear.

Boy, dare you say that I am an old pedant? You are screwed!

Just when Fang Xing found a companion, Zhang Shuhui also arrived at the lobby in the backyard.

As an old birthday star, Mrs. Zhang was dressed beamingly, sitting in the middle, accompanied by some noble ladies chatting and laughing in the capital. When the servant girl came in and said that the second aunt had arrived,

The room was silent for a moment, and all kinds of eyes were flying around.

The second aunt of the Zhang family, everyone only heard of it more than three years ago.

Anyone who dares to break out of the house directly is interested in taking a good look.

And I heard that the second aunt finally married the fiancé who had been judged to have no bright future. For a while, all kinds of thoughts and guesses were spinning in everyone's mind.

As the door curtain was opened, a woman in a goose-yellow dress walked in.

"Huh……"

Everyone thought they would see a woman who looked like a walking dead, but they didn't expect to see a beautiful woman with tender skin like a baby and a natural smile on her face.

"What is the blue earring on her ear made of? It really makes the skin white and tender!"

"Tsk tsk! The golden butterfly on her head is so ingenious, it looks like it's about to fly!"

"Wow! That ring on her finger is so beautiful! The gem can dazzle the flower man's eyes as it turns."

Amidst these surprised eyes and low-pitched discussions, Zhang Shuhui led two maidservants to come forward, prostrated herself prostratingly, and congratulated her on her birthday.

"Get up."

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile that she had already received a letter from Zhang Fu, in which Fang Xing was full of praise.

This wife is expensive by her husband, so today's Zhang Shuhui has received extremely high treatment.

Zhang Shuhui was helped up, she stretched out her hand to take the wooden box handed over by the servant girl, and said with a smile: "Mother is celebrating her birthday, daughter is stupid, in the end I only prepared some small gifts, please accept it with a smile."

Swish!

All eyes were focused on the top of the wooden box in an instant, and the fiery curiosity almost burned a hole in the top of the box.

A maid took the wooden box and handed it to Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang didn't even look at it, so she was about to be put away, but a lady below said with a smile: "Why don't you open it, Mrs. Zhang, and let me open my eyes!"

"yes!"

Another lady also jokingly said: "We have already seen the congratulatory gift from the Duke of England. The second aunt is also very filial, and the second and third masters must be on the way too. The old lady is blessed!"

Under the group of female porridge, Mrs. Zhang was a little bit hard to get off, so she had to ask someone to open the box.

Swish!

Swish!

All eyes glanced at Zhang Shuhui first, and then turned to the maid.

Poor woman, she should lose her face now!

The women sitting here today are basically nobles, and a few are wives of civil servants. Everyone secretly had a secret battle over whose gift was the most precious, and there was still some unfinished business.

This time Zhang Shuhui hit her head on the head.

"Ouch! What is this all about?"

Before the wooden box was opened, two women came in together.

Mrs. Zhang was already feeling uncomfortable, and when she saw them, she said indifferently: "The second family, the third family, you came here very quickly."

The two women immediately stopped their greetings, knelt on the ground to pay respects to the birthday, and then also gave their own gifts.

"Hey! Isn't this the second sister? Why are you here today?"

"Second sister is more diligent than us today!"

The two ladies first said a few words to Zhang Shuhui with disdain, and then proudly turned to the gift they gave.

You, the wife of a small rural landowner, dare to compare your wealth with us?
