This is not the Datang I am familiar with

Wu Meiniang kowtowed melon seeds, and Li Xiuyi kowtowed some to feed Li Zhi.

After finally resting, Li Zhi pulled Chen Fang, and some of the concubines over there got up and performed a dance, and they also ran over to learn the Taiping dance, which amused the whole house.

If I hadn't met in person, it would be hard to imagine that the emperor's house would be so harmonious and lively on weekdays.

In fact, Chen Fang didn't know that he contributed a lot to this. Food is sometimes more like a cohesive agent, through its own color and fragrance, it brings the family together more harmoniously.

Yi Yang sat next to Chen Fang, peeling peanuts and feeding Chen Fang peanuts.

When her father was around, she also liked to be affectionate with Chen Fangxiu, so that her father was happy, and so was the son-in-law.

The sun is setting, but the workshop is bustling with activity. From a distance, one can see carts after another. Big trees are tied to the carts, and there are huge earth balls attached to the roots of the carts. They are going to dig cherry trees in Luoying Pavilion. People transported the first batch of cherry trees back to the workshop.

At this time, on both sides of the workshop road, in the dug earth pits, cherry trees were planted one by one, and the two maids around were directing, and a large group of people were busy.

Li Zhiwu Meiniang looked at Chen Fang.

"My son-in-law is digging trees fast!"

Chen Fang didn't answer, the empress was making fun of herself!Let the sarcasm go!Anyway, the cherry tree can be dug by yourself.

Seeing the cherry trees planted outside, Taiping felt that it was lively, so he pulled Li Dan and ran outside.

"Taiping Li Dan, come back, it's dangerous there!"

An Ding chased after him, grabbed Li Dan, but not Taiping.

Chen Fang hurried over and picked up the little princess from behind.

Holding Taiping, Chen Fang stood some distance away, put down Taiping, and let her watch the trees planted there.

By this time it was getting colder outside.The wind blowing from the other side of the lotus pond brushed the willow branches and people's faces.

"It's getting cold outside, everyone go out for a walk. Mei Niang, accompany me to the lotus pond!"

"Okay, Your Majesty!"

Pulled Wu Meiniang.Li Zhi walked out of this small cafeteria, and all the concubines also went out together.But no one bothered His Majesty the Empress.

Li Xian pulled Li Xian and Li Dan, and the three little princes slipped out, not knowing where they were going.

Gao An pulled Li Hong, and the siblings walked away gradually while talking.

Yiyang and the two concubines did not leave, but sat there talking.

An Ding looked at Taiping who was holding Chen Fang's hand, and also walked over, taking Huangmei's other hand.

After a while, Taiping got bored watching planting trees, so Chen Fang dragged him around.

Pulling the two sister-in-laws, Chen Fang turned aimlessly, passing by the diversion canal of the workshop.Seeing Brother Li Xian take off his shoes and go fishing in the water, the water has been trampled to a muddy state.

After a while, Li Xian touched one and happily threw it on the shore.

Seeing An Ding, she was about to call her three younger brothers, but was called by Chen Fang.

"Let them play around! The water in the aqueduct here is shallow, so it's okay. At most, the clothes will get dirty and wet. Just go back and change."

"Well, let them mess around here for a while!"

"I want to go fish too!"

Suddenly Taiping shouted.

"Don't go!"

Chen Fang and An Ding returned with one voice.

Taiping pouted, unhappy, seeing her brothers playing happily, but Chen Fang and sister Huang just refused to let her into the water, depressed.

At this time, Taiping started the method of acting like a baby, but An Ding and Chen Fang remained unmoved.

Boys should be skinny and playful, but girls should be more demure and ladylike.

After a while, he brought back Taiping, who was covered in water and mud, and the second sage didn't blame him.

As for the third brother, His Majesty saw them covered in water and mud, at most she laughed and scolded them for being naughty.

It is even possible that after the third brother dedicated the fish to his father and mother, he would be praised a few words.

This is the difference between boys and girls.

Taiping couldn't convince Sister Huang and Chen Fang no matter what, stomped his feet angrily, and was picked up by Chen Fang.

Taiping struggled twice, Chen Fang said something in her ear, Taiping stretched out his immature arms to wrap around his neck, leaned into Chen Fang's arms, and stopped messing around.

Seeing An Ding, he looked at Chen Fang.

"Third princess, go together?"

At this time, An Ding has become more and more used to the title of the third princess. In the past, everyone actually called her the eldest princess, because she is Wu Meiniang's eldest daughter, and she is actually considered the eldest princess. I am also used to calling the eldest princess.

But later the real eldest daughter of Li Zhi, the genuine eldest daughter, Yiyang, married Chen Fang, and everyone was used to calling her the eldest princess of Yiyang. Princess, but only occasionally.

Yiyang's marriage to Chen Fang is actually the change of her fate, which can be seen from the change of title.

At this time, when Chen Fang asked her to go with her, An Ding nodded quickly. She wanted to see what Chen Fang had said, and the coquettish little imperial girl suddenly behaved.

On the way there, Chen Fang recited Cao Cao's Duan Ge Xing. This can be recited, not pretending to be thirteen, after all, it has been made by predecessors.

Arriving at the place, An Ding finally understood why Chen Fang could read short songs.

Yo Yo Lu Ming, the Ping of the Wild Food.

Watching Taiping feeding the little deer with apples stored in the ice cellar last year, seeing her cheerful look, An Ding watching Chen Fang, he really has a way to make the little queen happy.

If it was me, I would probably just give little Huangmei a few words, and then she would cry and comfort me.

But Chen Fang, if he handled it casually, he could make Little Huang Mei happily forget about the unhappiness just now.

Being with such a person, Elder Sister Dahuang should be very happy!An Ding thought about it, and unconsciously looked at Chen Fang.

There, Chen Fang took a few apples and gave them to Anding.

"The third princess is also here to feed, and I will feed the rabbit later. There are also radishes and green vegetables just picked from the vegetable garden."

The vegetable garden was cultivated by Meng Fei, and a lot of vegetables were grown in the workshop.

An Ding took the apples, saw that Chen Fang kept the most popular one, wiped it clean with a brocade handkerchief, and handed over to An Ding.

"Feed the deer and wipe it clean?"

"This is for the third princess!"

An Ding blushed for no reason, took it, took a bite, it was sweet and crisp.

Others hold it with their hands and watch the deer stretch out its head to eat.

Feeding small and big animals is a joy, especially for girls. Seeing the two princesses happily feeding here, Chen Fang sat on a wooden row chair beside her.

He asked Meng Fei to arrange these chairs specially, so that he could sit and lie down when he was sleepy and tired while walking. Chen Fang wanted to rest anywhere in the workshop.

After a while, a figure walked over from a distance, but it was Li Xiuyi, who met Chen Fang and greeted him from a distance.

Chen Fang gave up his seat, and Li Xiuyi also sat down to watch the two princesses feed the deer. Li Xiuyi found this scene interesting.

"Is everything about the Meridian Ridge branch settled?"

She suddenly asked Chen Fang.

"The person has just arrived, and after the resettlement of the residence in the past few days, the construction of the sub-workshop, the furnace, and the construction of the residence warehouse and fence are estimated to take at least three months."

"If you need anything, in terms of property and food, everything will be conveniently arranged by the household department!"

Li Xiuyi said lightly, and Chen Fang naturally understood the meaning.Before, Chen Fang handed over all the most important paper, the most important raw material for printing books in Tang Workshop, to the shops under the Prince An's Mansion.

At this time, the Ministry of Household Affairs is convenient, and it can be regarded as reciprocating, and it is convenient for Chen Fang to take the benefits of the public.

But speaking of it, the subdivision of Ziwuling is also a matter of business, and the Ministry of Households should have provided money and food.

However, regardless of this era or later generations, others will always have a way to cut off your confession or owe you some.At this time, Li Xiuyi's words can be regarded as eliminating these possibilities.

Behind her is not only the emperor, but also Prince An's mansion.It is inevitable to make friends with her. To tell the truth, there is no one in this palace who Chen Fang can or is willing to offend.

It is convenient for others and convenient for oneself, roughly the same.

After Li Xiuyi finished speaking, Chen Fang hugged a smile that both sides understood, and Li Xiuyi took a bag and stuffed it into Chen Fang.

"When I come here in the future, I will trouble you and the eldest princess for hospitality."

Chen Fang picked it up, Li Xiuyi left, the two princesses were still busy feeding the deer, Chen Fang untied the kit and took a look.In the kit is a string of South Sea pearls, each pearl is round and jade-like, the top grade among the top grades.

Sure enough, Li Xiuyi made a move, but it was very generous.

Wouldn't it be beautiful if Yiyang wore this pearl necklace.

Chen Fang took it, and the two princesses had finished feeding the prepared apples, so Chen Fang took them to feed the rabbits.

A white rabbit was hugged by Taiping, and An Ding also hugged another one. The rabbit was eating carrots, looked at the person who was hugging him, and struggled a few times in the arms of the two highnesses.

When Chen Fang saw her, she was depressed, looked at An Ding, and then turned her eyes. She really looked like Wu Meiniang more and more.This first blooming royal flower, after all, will be an all-powerful beauty in the future.

When returning home, Chen Fang met two accompanying concubines on the road, and the two concubines waved to him when they saw him, but Chen Fang also received presents, all of which were wrapped in kits.

Chen Fang asked the two highnesses to play by themselves, and he secretly opened the kit, the fine jade bracelet and the cat's eye bracelet.

Just like that, he saw the concubines receiving gifts all the way, and none of them were bad. Even the concubine De, who was already familiar with him, gave him a pair of golden hairpins, and Chen Fang almost didn't feel like accepting them.

When he was about to reach his courtyard, he saw Concubine Jing standing quietly waiting for him. Chen Fang had seen Concubine Jing in the past.

"Consort, thank you for taking care of the clan!"

Chen Fang looked at Concubine Jing and knew that she was talking about Wang Fen. Wang Fen was also from the Taiyuan Wang family with five surnames, and was of the same clan as Concubine Jing.

When he was planning to use Wang Fen, Chen Fang already knew about this background from Meng Fei.He employs people, how can he not ask about his identity.

In this era, one is destined to care about one's family background.Otherwise, go all the way recklessly, and sooner or later the game will be over.

Living and surviving in Datang, after all, it is impossible to be like the protagonist, no matter how messed up, he can still be safe and sound.

Five surnames, seven Wangs, and eight Guanlong families are some of the most powerful families in the Tang Dynasty at this time. Among them are the traditional famous families, and there are also the upstarts of the Tang Dynasty who rose from the founding of Li Tang.

By this time, in fact, through the marriage of clans, the relationship between these famous families has become intertwined and inseparable.The relationship with the royal family is also that you have me, and I have you.

Chapter 283 many benefits

Although the Second Sage intends to suppress these famous families, Chen Fang also understands that this kind of suppression is not blindly suppressing, and the center is on the strategy of the city government, which is unimaginable for ordinary people.

There are many ways to win over divisions and marry, but Chen Fang knows it.In fact, the second sage wanted to suppress them, but he couldn't suppress them in the end, which shows that the status of these famous families in the Tang Dynasty is deeply entrenched.

Not to mention anything else, the two concubines in the palace at this time are women from the family of Qiwang with five surnames, and most of the powerful and important officials in the Tang Dynasty were also born in Qiwang with five surnames, and a large proportion of Guanlong dignitaries also accounted for it.

In the past, Concubine Shu and Wu Meiniang were also considered to be from the new nobles of Guanlong, and Li Zhi himself was from the Li family of Longxi.

In this era that emphasizes family background, it is basically impossible to employ people regardless of their background.Although there are some people who can become an official through the imperial examination, the person concerned knows best about the hard work involved.

Moreover, these people who have become officials and those who come from big families can't get together naturally, so it's not easy to make a living in this court.

After all, it is because of lower background than others, one directly wins at the starting point, but the other needs to walk hard.

All people are born equal, I am afraid it is just a dream since ancient times.

Wang Fen was from the Wang family of Taiyuan, and Chen Fang's use of him was actually a gesture of favor to the Wang family of Taiyuan, so Concubine Jing waited here specially for him at this time.

"Your Majesty, these are all as they should be, and Wang Fen has this ability. He can share the worries for His Majesty and Tang Gongfang!"

"Well, I met my father yesterday, and said that all the uncles in the clan talked about it. I used to think that this clan was stubborn, but now he is promising."

"Wang Fen himself is capable, so there's nothing stubborn about it."

Concubine Jing smiled, but didn't say much about it, Chen Fang knew that she didn't talk much, and it was rare to be able to say these things.

The same kit was given to Chen Fang, but there was an extra bank note, which Tang Dynasty did not have at this time.

Bank notes originally appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty and were originally called Jiaozi.However, due to the introduction of the Western Qin Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty also had bank notes and banknotes at this time, most of which were concentrated in the hands of the big clan.

Chen Fang took a look at it, quickly took it away, and bowed to Concubine Jing.

"The kit is my wish, and this bank note is the wish of the Zongdi family."

Chen Fang secretly thought, as expected, these big clan families are on the way, and this one bank note can cover the expenses of the workshop for several months.

I made a lot of money today.
