The happy life of a prodigal

Chapter 658 Empathy

"Your Excellency has done a lot for the common people here in the Central Plains, so you shouldn't be blocking us, right?"

A guard spoke up.

When he said this, he himself had some doubts, and the reason was very simple.

Anyway, where does your lord's reputation as a playboy and a prodigal son lie!

While the few people were talking, they heard a voice not far away.

"I'll be waiting to send Master Fang off!"

"Master Fang is as blessed as the sky, and his life is as long as the sky!"

"Master Fang is a thousand years old!"

"Master Fang, go all the way!"

"..."

Fang Xiu heard these words and wanted to curse.

This is to harm yourself!

But after thinking about it, none of these people have ever read a book, and there are not many people who can read. They may not even know the meaning of what they said, and they just send themselves away when they think about it.

It's all good intentions...

Even so, he still waved his hand and said: "I appreciate everyone's kindness, so don't say these words anymore!"

"My lord, we miss you!"

"Yes, my lord, we are reluctant to part with you, can you not leave!"

When Fang Xiu heard this, he felt a little emotional, looked at the thousands of people, sighed, and said helplessly: "Why am I not like this?

Do you think I want to leave you, want to leave the Central Plains Road?

But the imperial court needs me, His Majesty needs me, it is impossible to stay here forever, but I will definitely miss you, you will always be my strong backing! "

When the people heard this, they lamented again.

It's not easy to come to such a good adult, so I'm leaving like this, hey...

How much they hope Master Fang can stay here for a while!

However, this wish is doomed to fail.

"My lord, take care of yourself!"

"My lord, take care!"

The shouts of the people resounded throughout Linze Mansion.

On the other side, when the household servant saw this scene, his expression became very strange.

On the one hand, he was very puzzled and depressed to see how the people loved Fang Xiu so much, but on the other hand, he had to admire Fang Xiu, because he thought he could not do this.

To be honest, although he has never left the capital, he still barely understands the situation in this state capital.

He understands that if he wants to achieve such a level, it is not only possible with a passionate heart!

But......

why?

Why is it that so many people who are familiar with the sage books can't do it, but a little Fangxiu can do it?

You know, what he despises the most is this kind of ignorant dude!

The household servant gritted his teeth, a light flashed in his eyes, he seemed to have made a decision, and said slowly: "Let's go! Let's meet Xin Anhou!"

Fang Xiu rode a horse, stood at the front, and looked at the thousands of people, feeling emotional.

Hey......

I just wanted to play in the world, but I didn't expect to be loved by so many people.

No way, who made him such a person who cared about the world and the people!

"You guys have to take care too!"

Fang Xiu waved his hands towards the people, and left Linze Mansion with thousands of emotions.

At this time, there were two horses chasing after him.

When the guards saw this scene, they immediately became alert.

"Protect adults!"

The pro-army guard held up the long sword in his hand and said loudly.

"Yes, my lord!"

The other guards responded one after another and stood between the man and Fang Xiu.

"Call..."

The leader was also very quick. Seeing this scene, he immediately reined in his horse and said loudly, "I don't mean anything malicious, but I just want to chat with Mr. Fang."

When Fang Xiu heard this voice, he always felt a little familiar. Looking around, he turned out to be an old acquaintance.

The household servant who argued with him at Kang Wang's banquet more than a month ago.

"Isn't this Mr. Minister? What's the matter?"

Fang Xiu waved his hand, motioning the guards to get out of the way, raised his eyebrows, and asked.

Although the servant of the household department is a bitch, Fang Xiu knows that he still has no guts to harm himself.

If you have something to say, then say it, it's no big deal!

"Master Fang, I haven't seen you in January, I miss you very much..."

"Stop talking nonsense, Master Ben is not willing to listen, just talk if you have something to say, and get out early if you have nothing to say!"

Fang Xiu waved his hands.

"Cough cough cough..."

The servant of the household department was already mentally prepared, and he didn't expect Fang Xiu to be so direct, he cupped his hands and said, "Master Fang, actually, I have a word to ask my lord.

Why are you so loved by the people? "

Fang Xiu heard this, glanced at him, saw his sincere expression, smiled, and said: "It's very simple, three words - empathy!"

"empathy......"

When the household servant heard this, he was stunned.

empathy......

They are all scholars who have read the books of sages. Could it be that their empathy for the common people is no better than that of a rich man with a noble background?

There is no such reason in this world.

Isn't Marquis Xin'an deceiving himself?

Seemingly seeing what the servant of the household department was thinking, Fang Xiu showed a smile on his face, and said lightly: "I know what you are thinking.

It's just that I think it's ridiculous for a dude like me to say the word 'empathy'.

But let me tell you, none of the civil and military men of the Manchu dynasty has empathy for the common people like me.

It is precisely because I have empathy for the people that I can see so many shops in the capital so prosperous. It is precisely because I have empathy for the people that I know what they want and think, and what I can give them, so that They understand who is good for them!

The people are not fools, whoever treats him well, he knows it in his heart.

Although you are in charge of the world's money and food, you don't know what the people are, let alone what the people want..."

"What do the people want..."

The servant of the household department was slightly startled, and muttered to himself: "What the people want is nothing more than two words, one money, one grain..."

"Yes!" Fang Xiu first affirmed, and then denied: "It's not right either!"

"What do you mean by that?"

"You've stayed in the temple for too long, go for a walk, leave the yamen, go to the suburbs, to the village, to the fields..."

Fang Xiu looked at the servant of the household department, with an unpredictable expression on his face, and said lightly: "Then you will discover a new world..."

"new world?"

There was a look of confusion on the face of the household servant.

But Fang Xiu said: "That's all I have to say, let's do it myself!"

After Fang Xiu finished speaking, he reined in his horse, turned around and left.

The servant of the household department stood there, and after a long time, he bowed deeply to Fang Xiu, and said loudly: "Thank you Xin'an Hou for your advice!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at the servant beside him, as if relieved of a heavy burden, and said, "Let's not go to the yamen for now, just follow me for a stroll in the suburbs."

The servant felt strange, but still responded: "Yes, my lord!"

Chapter 659 Returning to the House

Seven days later, Fang Xiu stood outside the city of Kyoto, looking at the majestic city wall, filled with a thousand emotions in his heart.

Finally came back!

Although he only stayed outside for more than a month, but this more than a month can be said to be like a year. There are endless things to deal with every day, and he is always on guard against the rebellion of those gentry, hey...

Where can I live comfortably in the capital.

I don't know if there has been any change in the city of Kyoto in the past month or so.

Fang Xiu thought so in his heart, and already walked in.

Fangfu.

Fang Ru was still practicing sword, and it took a while before she rested.

In March, the weather was still very cold, but Fang Ru's forehead was covered with sweat. After wiping the sweat away, she looked up and was stunned.

She rubbed her eyes before she confirmed it, and said loudly: "Brother, you are back!"

Fang Xiu waved his hand and asked, "Where are the others?"

Fang Ru twitched her lips and asked, "Aside from me, how can there be other people in this Fangfu?"

"..." Fang Xiu was speechless after hearing this.

It's true...

But in the next second, a strange yet familiar voice sounded.

"came back?"

Fang Xiu turned his head and saw a middle-aged man in a brocade robe.

Naturally, it is Uncle Anping... No, it should be called Marquis of Linze now!

"You're back, Dad."

Fang Xiu walked up to Lin Zehou, bowed and saluted.

Lin Zehou looked at Fang Xiu with a thousand emotions in his heart.

The last time we met, my son was just a dandy and a prodigal son. Not only was he notorious, but he also did many stupid things.

But...this time we met, he was already the Marquis of Xin'an.

Not to mention sitting on an equal footing with himself, he is even more highly regarded by His Majesty, even more important than a father like him in the court!

Even......

Lin Zehou was in a trance, but after the trance, he sighed again, and said earnestly: "Our Fang family is standing in the wind, so there must be many people's discussions."

When Fang Xiu heard this, he naturally knew what this cheap old man meant.

He showed disdain, and said casually: "There are too many gossips in this world, and you can't stop them. Why don't you just pretend that he doesn't exist and have a clear conscience!"

When Lin Zehou heard this, his face was in a daze, and he glanced at his son.
