Empress, you don't want to be thrown into limbo by your father, do you?

A violent cough broke the atmosphere.

Li Changshou was almost choked to death by his own saliva. He was calm and unpredictable at first, but now he can't pretend anymore.

"What did you call her?"

As if he was sure that he heard correctly, he asked.

Fang Qingshan hurriedly replied respectfully: "Your official, oh no, Qingshan's seniority is lower in the Fang clan!"

This time Li Changshou got it right. He looked back at Fang Rou, who was only in his 30s, and Fang Qingshan, the county magistrate of Qiantang, who was in his 40s, but the other party's explanation was fine.

The Fang family, one of the Jiangdong aristocratic families, has been passed down for hundreds of years. There are many branches of this kind of aristocratic family, and it is easy to cause generational confusion.

Therefore, it is normal for Fang Qingshan to be over 40 years old, but his seniority is older than Fang Rou, who is more than ten years younger.

only……

"What are you calling Gu?"

Li Changshou could feel his current expression, it must be wonderful.

What the hell, I'm not even 20 years old, but I was called uncle by a man in his 40s?

Damn, all of a sudden, for no reason, her seniority is so high?
It feels so amazing!
"I'm talking about seniority, I'm His Highness's nephew, so just now I have the audacity to call Your Highness Uncle, it's a lower official who deserves to be disrespectful of etiquette! I hope Your Highness will forgive me!"

Fang Qingshan knelt down directly with a plop, his voice and expression seemed to speak out from the bottom of his heart.

If it was just caught off guard.

So at this moment, it is clearly a sophistication and a high EQ!
Suddenly, Li Changshou couldn't help but admire Qingshan, the magistrate of Qiantang County, so flexible, so flexible, so really...

Won my heart!

"Your nephew, not bad, very good!"

No wonder he was able to get along like a fish in water in the Jiangnan government office, no wonder the little seventh-rank county magistrate was able to make a move, it was such a grand "Jiangnan specialty", Fang Qingshan was the first to come even before other people had time to visit him .

Jiangnan Fang's promotion is one of the factors, but Fang Qingshan is definitely a talent!
"Uncle's praise, Qingshan is ashamed!"

Fang Qingshan's eyes lit up and he quickly hit the snake with a stick, one bite at a time, which made Li Changshou very useful.

Regardless of Fang Rou's sidelines, she was already dumbfounded!

The scene in front of her completely overturned her three views and cognitions since she was a child. Her pretty face was flushed and she didn't know whether to be angry or relieved. In short, she couldn't sit still when she saw the two elders talking about relatives over there. Ann felt ashamed to stay any longer.

"Your Highness, concubine..."

"It's all about my family. I feel good about your nephew. He is a talent, a talent, haha!"

Li Changshou waved his hand. He had also thought about the attitude the Fang family would have when he came to Jiangnan.

Is it grateful, or lukewarm, or even full of hostility?

But I didn't expect that when I came to Qiantang County, the first member of the Fang family I met was actually a wonderful person!
Let's not talk about what the Fang family's old folks are thinking, Fang Qingshan is so good at being a man, his perception of the Fang family has improved a lot!
Now that the relatives were recognized, the atmosphere that followed was completely different.

Except that Fang Rou felt ashamed to stay on the sidelines, blushing and restless, Li Changshou smiled more, and Fang Qingshan also showed his officialdom to the fullest.

Flattery, he's a professional!

"Qingshan has long heard that Uncle is a beautiful man in the capital, but seeing him today makes Qingshan understand that it is all a rumor!"

"Oh?" Li Changshou frowned.

He is indeed handsome in appearance, and he is also the son of a noble concubine, but I don't know if he was dragged down by the emperor's old son, and his appearance was slightly lowered.

Fang Qingshan said solemnly: "Uncle is not only a beautiful man in the capital, even if you look at the Central Plains, it is difficult to find someone who can match His Highness!"

This ass...

Even Li Changshou blushed a little when he heard that.

"I was lucky enough to go to the capital once before I was dismissed as an official. It's a pity that Guan Weiyan was not able to visit my uncle at that time. I have always regretted it all these years. Today I finally got what I wanted and met my uncle!"

When Fang Qingshan talked about the emotion, his eyes were full of tears and his nose was snotted. Those who didn't know thought he was crying in front of his parents whom he hadn't seen for many years.

"Oh? When have you been to the capital?"

Li Changshou felt goosebumps from being photographed.

"Xiaguan went to Beijing to catch the exam ten years ago!"

The corner of Li Changshou's mouth twitched as Fang Qingshan accompanied him with a smiling face.

ten years ago?
Why was he only eight years old?

Forget it, some things cannot be discussed in detail, Fang Qingshan is just flattering and talking about relatives, what is wrong with him?

He was right!
"It turns out that Gu was still in the palace at the time, so I really couldn't see him."

"Yes, yes, I have heard of His Highness's reputation at that time, and I regret not being able to meet you!"

The two talked more and more happily, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. After talking for more than half an hour, even Li Changshou felt that he couldn't continue, so he could only show a tired look on purpose.

And Fang Qingshan is also a smart person, he immediately understood it when he saw it.

"Ah, it's already this hour. I'm so forgetful about talking with my uncle that I forgot that it's not too early. Then I won't disturb my uncle and aunt's rest. I'll take my leave first and come see you tomorrow!"

His purpose of coming here today has been accomplished!

It was confirmed that Fang Rou was indeed by Li Changshou's side, and he also presented 'Jiangnan Specialties', and even became a friend and a relative!
It's even smoother than he expected before he came!
Before leaving, he even acted like a nephew, which can be said to be a shameless performance to the fullest.

In the end, he was sent off by the people of the Imperial City Division, and he took his leave.

As soon as Fang Qingshan left, the smile on Li Changshou's face gradually disappeared.

"Madam's nephew is really a wonderful person. It seems that the Fang family will not disappoint Gu too much, don't you think so?"

Although only Fang Qingshan came to visit secretly tonight, it could also be regarded as Jiangnan Fang's intention to show his favor to him, and he was very satisfied with the result.

At the beginning, he tried his best to save Fang Rou's life, wasn't it for the whole Fang family?
"Your Highness, concubine..."

"What? Not happy?"

"No, it's not! The concubine is just worried that it will affect His Highness's reputation..."

Seeing that Li Changshou's face turned cold, Fang Rou immediately explained in a panic. In fact, she is in a mess now, and she has no way to sort out the complicated relationship now.

Fang Qingshan's performance just now, she is not stupid, so she can naturally see her mother's attitude.

It's just that when she thinks that she is not a big girl with yellow flowers who has not left the court after all, she feels a deep sense of inferiority.

"Don't worry about Gu, why should you worry?"

Li Changshou sneered. In fact, there are many kinds of reputations. It is not a serious crime to linger around the flowers and show mercy in the past dynasties. Moreover, as long as his plan goes well, no one in the world will care about what he has done.

"Concubine, dare not..."

Fang Rou didn't know whether to be happy or worried, she even felt a little hesitant and fearful now.

She didn't know how to face her parents and relatives whom she hadn't seen for more than ten years.
Is it the wife of the former commander of the Imperial Army?

still is……

"Late at night."

Li Changshou looked at the sky. In fact, it was still early, but Youdao said that going to bed early and getting up early is in good health.

He is still very good at taking care of himself!

Fang Rou's pretty face was blushing and followed behind. Once some things start, there is no turning back...

……

The night is quiet and the moon is bright.

In Lin'an city.

In the Fang family mansion, there was an old man standing in the backyard with his hands behind his back, looking at the moonlight in the sky.

At this moment, the housekeeper came in a hurry, and it seemed that there should be some important business.

"Master, a letter from Qiantang!"

The butler stepped forward and handed the Flying Pigeon letter he had just obtained to the old man. He knew that his master had already rested at this time in the past, but tonight he has been in the backyard, obviously waiting for news from there.

"Oh?"

The old man is the current head of the Fang family. He has gray hair but a ruddy complexion and is full of energy. Although he is over 60 years old, he has been in a high position for many years, and he is naturally more energetic than ordinary people with rich clothes and good food.

He couldn't sleep at all tonight, so he was naturally waiting for news from Qiantang.

After receiving the Feige Chuanshu, when he opened it, his expression changed a little.

"Master, the people who went to the capital have sent back news. Since the young lady was taken away by the Imperial City Secretary, there has been no news. So far, I can't find out whether she is dead or alive. Do you want to..."

The butler has been a slave in the Fang family for generations, so he knows the owner's thoughts very well.

That is the most beloved daughter of the head of the family, and the jewel in the palm of the entire Fang family!

Now life and death are unknown, the key to the rumors in the capital, the son-in-law of the Fang family, who is the commander of the imperial army, mutinied and rebelled!

Regardless of the news, it is a thorn in the throat of the entire Jiangnan Fang family.

"Go and prepare, the lady will return home tomorrow."

"This... this old slave understands!"

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment before realizing it, with a joyful expression on his face, "Old servant, let's get ready!"

"and many more!"

But just as the butler was about to leave, Mr. Fang interrupted immediately when he thought of something, "Forget it, don't say anything, don't tell anyone else about Miss's return home."

Although the butler didn't understand, he didn't dare to ask further questions, and he vaguely knew what his master was worried about.

"By the way, where is Chen'er? Why haven't I seen him in the past few days?"

The old man seemed to remember something, and asked with a frown.

At the same time, his tone became a little displeased, "Is he staying in the house honestly these few days?"

"This……"

"Ok?"

"My lord, Young Master Sun has been going to see that barbarian woman for the past few days."

The butler didn't dare to hide anything, so he could only sigh inwardly and explain honestly.

The old man didn't say anything when he heard his breath.

He groaned angrily on the spot, "This incompetent bastard! Didn't the old man tell him not to see that bearded girl again, what about him!"

"Old man who is angry, old man who is angry!"

"Master, calm down! The old slave saw that the young master seemed to have a deep-rooted affection for that bearded woman, and kept shouting that he would not marry her. The old slave also tried to dissuade him, but the young master did not listen to the old slave's advice at all..."

Thinking that the young master, the grandson of the family, would be obsessed with a bearded girl, let alone old man Fang, even the old housekeeper didn't understand.

Although the Hu girl's appearance is peerless, she is not of my race after all, and her heart must be different. The key point is that the black hair like gold is really weird. If it weren't for the fact that Jiangnan has been doing business with Hu people from various countries in recent years, some strange Hu people Also see a lot.

Otherwise, they might be treated as monsters and ghosts!
"Shut up that bastard, if anyone dares to let him out, the old man will break his legs!"

My grandson was not willing to fight, so he naturally vented his anger on the people in the house. The old housekeeper also thought it was normal, so he nodded immediately: "This old servant must be optimistic about the young master, and will never let him see that bearded girl again!"

……

at the same time.

In the Tianzi No. [-] wing room of an inn in Lin'an City, two graceful women with blonde hair, blue eyes, and skin as white as snow were sitting there with headaches.

The appearance of the two women is very different from that of people from the Central Plains. They are full of exotic styles, and their clothes make people's eyes shine.

"Lilia, is that person still there?"

"Grand...Miss, he is still down there. It seems that if you don't see him, you won't give up easily."

Looking at the blond woman's perfect facial features like a goddess, Lilia's eyes showed a gleam of coldness, and she directly pulled out the sword from her side, "Do you want me to go down and kill him?"

The blond woman shook her head again and again, "Lilia, we don't know each other well here, so it won't be good if we kill someone and make too much noise."

"OK then."

"Don't worry about him, we finally came here, so don't easily conflict with the people here..."
