Rebirth of the face-slapping system

twelve:

Immediately after Fang Wen woke up, a maid came forward holding the scroll and respectfully said: "Madam, you entrusted the manager to do this before, and the manager said that he didn't miss any of them, please check it out."

Fang Wen was taken aback for a moment, took a scroll from the maidservant's hand, unfolded it and looked at it.

A beautiful woman was drawn on the scroll, and the woman's name, personality, daily favorite things, and the situation of her family members were written in tiny characters on the lower right.

Fang Wen immediately understood what these things were.

He waved his hand to let the maid back down, and looked at the dozen or so scrolls beside him, feeling a little headache.

When Xu Xiuzheng said that he didn't need to help him find a concubine, Fang Wen put the matter aside, but forgot to tell the manager.At this time, the manager gave these scrolls to Fang Wen, and Fang Wen felt a little guilty, after all, it was hard work to collect them.He couldn't send them back intact, so he just spread them out one by one to study which lady was more suitable for Xu Xiuzheng.

——Even if Xu Xiuzheng said he didn't want to take a concubine, he could just take a look at it casually. If his mother-in-law asked, he didn't know anything about the situation, and it would be embarrassing to speak.

Xu Xiuzheng is a very silent person, if he wants to take a concubine, it's better to find him a concubine who is gentle, virtuous and not ostentatious, after all Fang Wen can't imagine how a talkative woman keeps chattering in front of Xu Xiuzheng.

...He always felt that Xu Xiuzheng would punch him.

Then there is the character, you can't have those who are too sharp, and you can't have those with strong jealousy... The new emperor has just come to power, and as long as he was a little bit supportive of the third prince's faction before, he definitely can't have it.Partisanship is the most hated thing in today's saints, so we must pay special attention to it, so as not to accidentally stand in line when the time comes, and we don't know how to die.

Thinking of this, Fang Wen felt his head was getting bigger.

But Xu Xiuzheng must know more about this than Fang Wen, and think more deeply, otherwise he wouldn't have traveled all the way to Hong County to find him.So even if Fang Wen accidentally chose someone with a party faction, Xu Xiuzheng would have reminded him—although Fang Wen knew that Xu Xiuzheng would definitely not take concubines because of Jinyang's existence, but it was too boring on weekdays, so he would still be a concubine. All the rich ladies were deleted and selected, and finally he actually found two.

Of those two, one of them was the woman Xu Xiuzheng married in his previous life. Knowing that her personality would change a lot later, Fang Wen was the first to eliminate her.The other is a young lady from the Li family. She is relatively weak and sick, but she has a clean family background, is also very beautiful, and has a very docile personality. She is a good candidate.

The frail woman Fang Wen selected was called Li Meier. Although she was a prostitute, she never married because of her health, and very few people had seen her. .

Fang Wen was thinking about Li Meier when the door was suddenly pushed open.

Xu Xiuzheng came in, looked at the scroll in Fang Wen's hand, raised his eyebrows, and stretched out his hand to take a look.

Square pattern: "..."

Xu Xiuzheng asked, "What is it for?"

Fang Wen explained: "Before listening to my mother-in-law, I wanted to take a concubine for you, so I asked the manager for a portrait of a woman of the right age in Beijing, but I forgot to tell the manager that I don't need it. Just now I was bored, so I just looked at it... "Xu Xiuzheng immediately figured out what was going on, nodded without saying Fang Wen, and just looked at the lower right corner of the scroll.

Fang Wen took advantage of the situation and said: "This woman is not bad and has a good personality, although her body is relatively weak..."

Xu Xiuzheng glanced at Fang Wen: "You want me to take a concubine?"

Fang Wen was taken aback for a moment: "I just took a casual look, I don't mean to make you..."

"En." Xu Xiuzheng nodded and put the scroll aside, "Then take her in."

Fang Wen: "..." Where is the Young Master Jinyang in your heart?

Although Fang Wen felt a little speechless, it felt like Xu Xiuzheng didn't take Jinyang seriously, but since Xu Xiuzheng said he wanted to take a concubine, he had no choice but to do it.It's just that the favorability towards Xu Xiuzheng dropped a little in an instant.

The matter of taking concubines has always been handled by the main wife in the British Dynasty.If the main wife is jealous and doesn't like her husband taking concubines, the matter can also be handed over to the mother-in-law, but generally speaking, it is the main wife who comes forward, otherwise there will be a lot of gossip.So after repeatedly confirming with Xu Xiuzheng about taking a concubine, Fang Wen started to prepare.

He first went to inquire if there was someone he liked in Miss Li's family, and then he went to visit Li's family.

When Fang Wen said that Xu Xiuzheng wanted to take Li Meier as his concubine, the old lady of the Li family was a little worried.

"My Meier has been in poor health since she was a child... The general is strong and strong, can Meier handle it?"

Fang Wen stayed for a while before he understood the meaning of this sentence, his earrings turned red, and he felt that the old lady was really not taboo, although he is Xu Xiuzheng's regular wife, but he is also a man wife...

Fang Wen said seriously: "Madam, please rest assured, the general is still very considerate in certain matters."

Mrs. Li's family was silent for a while, nodded, and sighed: "In that case, let's call a matchmaker and discuss the date of the marriage. Our Mei'er has always been very obedient since she was a child. It is up to us to decide, although we are concubines, we are the General after all, what an honor we are..."

Fang Wen didn't know how to answer the words.

Finally, after finalizing the matter, Fang Wen made a request to take a look at Li Meier, but was rejected.The old lady of the Li family said that Meier always rests on the couch at this time, which is a bit inconvenient.

Fang's tattoo is a man, so he can't do some radical things, he can only give up.

There is basically no need for ostentation in taking concubines in the British Dynasty, even Xu Xiuzheng does. Of course, if you want, you can also carry a big sedan chair, but it depends on whether your wife is willing or not.

After seeking Xu Xiuzheng's opinion, Fang Wen decided that it would be better to do it quietly, so after finding a matchmaker to set the date, the mansion only hung up lanterns, and it was not very festive.

One day, Xu Xiuzheng's mother, Xu Ruolan, sent a maid to call Fang Wen.

Fang Wen was so busy with taking concubines that he was a little dizzy and followed the maid.

Seeing Fang Wen's slightly sluggish face, Xu Ruolan couldn't help but said after talking about it, "Don't work too hard, some things can be left to the servants, let them do it."

Fang Wen nodded.

Xu Ruolan continued: "What I said last time... didn't mean that I would definitely take a concubine... You and Zheng'er have not been married for a long time, so don't be too hard on yourself, you know?"

Fang Wen looked up at Xu Ruolan: "Yes, mother-in-law."

Xu Ruolan asked Fang Wen to come here for this matter, so that Fang Wen would not be under so much pressure, and would not have to be so eager to take concubines in the future.After finishing speaking at this time, the two of them were a little speechless.

Xu Ruolan thought for a while: "In a few days, you will have been in Beijing for a month, and then you can go home to visit your relatives. Let Zheng'er stay with you. He has nothing important recently."

Fang Wen responded.

In fact, for Fang Wen, Xu Ruolan is really a good mother-in-law, at least she didn’t make things difficult for Fang Wen, and sometimes she would say some very caring words to Fang Wen, making Fang Wen feel as if she was basking in the sun, warm and warm of.However, he and Xu Ruolan lived in different environments and encountered different things, so it was difficult to talk about them together.

Three days later, the day for Fang Wen to visit his relatives arrived.

Before Xu Xiuzheng went to court, Fang Wen got up and began to pack his things. He planned to go directly on the road after Xu Xiuzheng left.To be honest, Fang Wen didn't really want Xu Xiuzheng to go to Hong County.

One is that the journey is far away, and the other is that if Xu Xiuzheng goes, Su Ying might take the opportunity to ask for something, such as finding a good job for Fang Qi, or asking Xu Xiuzheng for cooperation. What benefits does Xu Xiuzheng get from getting married?Three...Fang Wen really wants to sleep alone!

——Seeing the general in XX every morning... Fang Wen felt that no one would understand this feeling.

Fortunately, within a few days after he came back from visiting relatives, Li Meier was about to enter the house. When Fang Wen handed over the roster of the usual sleepers, Xu Xiuzheng would definitely not be able to come to him every night.

Thinking of this, Fang Wen's mouth turned up in joy.

After getting up, Xu Xiuzheng saw this scene - Fang Wen, who is usually quiet and doesn't like to smile very much, is packing up his things happily at this moment, as if he is looking forward to the family visit.

Xu Xiuzheng thought about Hong County's impression of Su Ying, and couldn't help frowning.

Seeing Xu Xiuzheng getting up, Fang Wen went to dress him up.

Xu Xiuzheng looked down at Fang Wen, who was half a head shorter than himself: "Wait for me to come back, I will go with you."

Fang Wen shook his head and said with a smile: "I can do it by myself, the housekeeper has already prepared the carriage for me. The visiting relatives originally asked me to go home and see my parents, so what are you doing, are you here to save my face?"

The corner of Xu Xiuzheng's mouth twitched: "Just to save face for you..." He paused, "You really don't need me to accompany you?... You want to go back, are you so happy?"

Fang Wen was taken aback, vaguely heard Xu Xiuzheng's hidden meaning, and quickly explained: "Well, I'll just go back for a few days. I can't say I'm very happy, but I've been so busy recently, if I go back, I'll have to deal with concubine matters I can give it to my mother-in-law temporarily, which is equivalent to resting for a few days. I really want to be lazy."

Xu Xiuzheng didn't speak, just nodded to show that he understood.

After watching Xu Xiuzheng go to court, Fang Wen sat alone for a while, and then called the manager.

He gave a few instructions on what might happen in the mansion after he left, and asked the manager to help him see if there was a shop with a better location in Beijing. He was planning to sell it soon, and he wanted to buy it for business.

The manager responded one by one.

Feeling that he had said almost everything he had to say, even if there were other matters, there would be nothing wrong with her mother-in-law, so Fang Wen took her luggage, bid farewell to her mother-in-law, and went to Hong County in a carriage.

When Xu Xiuzheng came back from court, the manager thought about it, and told him about Fang Wen's desire to buy a shop.

After hearing this, Xu Xiuzheng said, "Let him go." He paused for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Isn't there a shop in the upper street in our mansion? I remember it was selling jade..."

The manager froze for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes."

……

It's not a day or two for Fang Wen to think about the shop.

Although he has some private houses in his hands, it is no problem to buy a shop in Hong County, and there is even a surplus, but the land price in Jingli is completely different from that in Hong County, let alone a shop, the money in Fang Wen's hand Not enough at all.But if the delay continues, when the emperor issues a new maritime decree and announces tax cuts, a large number of shops selling overseas products will pop up one after another.

It will be too late for him to do it again.

Fang Wen finally decided to ask Xu Xiuzheng for some money first, at worst, he would share some of the money he earned.

And this time to visit relatives, Fang Wen also wanted to find a good shopkeeper in Hong County, and asked him if he would like to go to Beijing to develop.The shopkeeper was quite unlucky, Fang Wen had heard about him in his previous life.

——The shopkeeper is very kind to his daughter-in-law, and the food and clothing expenses are all for the woman first.His daughter-in-law is very beautiful, but she is not a peaceful master, and she got together with the young master's family within a few days.

The shopkeeper found out about this by accident, and was heartbroken, but because it was clearly written in black and white back then, he couldn't resign from the job midway.Facing Young Master's family every day is tantamount to having a needle in his heart.

The final result is also very embarrassing.

In the end, the shopkeeper still annoyed the young owner.The young master really couldn't tolerate the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper's daughter-in-law was whispering in the ears of the shopkeeper, so the man just kept going and found Fang Wen's father, Fang Shengping, and bought the county magistrate with three gold bars. Pushed the shopkeeper directly into the river and drowned...
