My country, you can pinch it

Fang Jinling never expected that his mother was actually from the Appearance Association!Combined with the current Shang Qingrong, he felt a little unbelievable.

Seeing that Fang Jinling had finished his porridge, Sister Lin helped him back to rest.Fang Jinling had been lying down for a long time, and she really didn't want to stay in bed anymore, so she sat down on the warm couch by the window, pretending to be listening carefully.

Probably holding back her heart for a long time, she couldn't hold back the chatterbox once the chatterbox started. Nanny Lin sneered slightly and said, "It's probably because God wants my wife to suffer. In fact, my wife was going to marry Yunyanghou at the beginning, Lord Hou... I am Speaking of your grandfather, there are two other uncles who disagree. It’s just that the wife insists on marrying, but the old marquis can’t persuade her, and the uncle can’t persuade her, so I have to hold my nose and agree.”

Isn't this era the words of parents' orders and matchmakers?Fang Jinling looked puzzled.

Seemingly seeing what he was thinking, Nanny Lin said helplessly, "Old Hou Ye gave birth to six sons in a row, and this is the only little daughter."

That must be the way to keep the stars from favoring the moon. Fang Jinling expressed her understanding, but...

"That's when I saw that my father's character is wrong?"

Nanny Lin shook her head and said, "According to what I know, it's not. What Old Hou Ye dislikes the most is that Yunyang Hou's family is too weak, and he will wrong Madam."

Fang Jinling said: "They are all from the Hou family, so they are considered well-connected, right?"

"It's worse!" Nanny Lin couldn't help raising her voice, and said disdainfully, "At that time, the Yunyang Hou Mansion was a second-rank Marquis family, but it was an empty shell with nothing in it. The old Marquis was almost ruined. With all the family business and huge debts, no one in the entire capital knows that it is a shabby household with a glamorous face. Even this title may not be able to compete. You must know that there is no one in the Fang family who can talk about it. No one has to laugh a few words!"

This really surprised Fang Jinling. After all, the current Yunyang Hou Mansion doesn't seem to be short of money, whether it's house decorations or garden landscapes. The servants are also well-dressed and have enough monthly money.

"The residence of the Marquis of Xiling..."

Nanny Lin immediately changed her tone and said proudly: "The Marquis of Xiling is certainly different. Whether it is the old Marquis or the several uncles, they are all highly decorated generals, holding the military power in the Northwest and facing the Central Plains. Who dares to underestimate it, even the emperor has to rely on preferential treatment! Not to mention a rich family."

Fang Jinling: "..."

He was speechless for a while, listening to the description, it was like a day and a day, his father was able to marry his mother, it was like smoke from the ancestral grave!

He asked blankly: "That's it, grandpa and uncles are willing to let go?"

Nanny Lin said: "Yes, but to put it mildly, it's not that bad. Although Yunyang Hou's family was poor at that time, and his in-laws were not helpful, he was indeed a good-looking talent. Madam returned to Beijing with the old Hou Ye to report his duties. The first time I saw him was when I was Tanhua in high school. Think about it, young master, how eye-catching is the young and handsome Tanhualang with the No. [-] champion who is over half his age? Let alone a young man who can inherit the Marquis's mansion and have a noble title What about Lang?"

Fang Jinling was stunned: "That must have been my father's brightest moment. My mother saw it and immediately put on a thick filter."

Nanny Lin didn't quite understand what Fang Jinling said later. She said, "There are rough men in the Northwest. It's just that my uncle has been with the soldiers for a long time, and sometimes he speaks vulgarly. My wife has never liked it. So seeing this This kind of gentle, elegant and good-looking man is irresistible. Moreover, Yunyanghou didn't know where his wife was interested in him, so he showed great hospitality, either sending poems or lyrics, or meeting by chance, so reserved and polite, full of heart Affectionate, Madam has never seen such a situation before, she thought she had found a lover, and she would not marry Feiqing."

Shang Qingrong, who has been for more than ten years, has a tender face and is easy to deceive. With a little routine, she will be locked up.

But after listening to Fang Jinling, he intuitively felt that the more information Nanny Lin revealed, the more frightened he became, because based on the time when the Yang family suffered, Yunyanghou did not simply cheat after marriage. He pursued Shang Qingrong not because he liked it. , but... have no purpose!

"Ahem..." The heart was pulled by anger, and then the lobes of the lungs were pulled, and the trachea was pulled, making Fang Jinling's throat itchy, and he couldn't help coughing.

"Master!" Nanny Lin hurriedly poured a glass of warm water over and asked Fang Jinling to drink it to moisten her throat. She blamed herself, "Look at me, as I get older, I start chattering about the young master for so long. .”

Fang Jinling shook his head: "It's nothing, mama, you said my father was a student of Master Yang, and he just passed the Jinshi degree at that time?"

"Yes."

"With such a teacher, he can't be reused, right?"

Nanny Lin nodded: "That's not true. Fortunately, he hasn't entered the court yet, so he can't be implicated, but it will be difficult to get ahead, but these wives don't care."

"My mother doesn't care, but my father must be very concerned, otherwise he wouldn't turn around and pursue her." Fang Jinling affirmed, "What kind of official is my father now?"

"The right servant of the Ministry of Industry, barely able to stand in the court meeting."

Fang Jinling has no idea about official positions: "Is this considered big or small?"

"The Ministry of Industry is at the end of the six ministries, and the position of Minister of the fourth rank is considered to be more than the top and the bottom in the capital."

"But my father is not yet forty."

For the first time, Sister Lin found out that her young master was not in good health, but his mind was extremely clear. She nodded and said, "After all, he is the son-in-law of the Marquis of Xiling, so others will naturally give him a little favor, so the Marquis of Yunyang can successfully equalize his title. .”

But the Marquis of Yunyang obviously didn't want to leave this title to Fang Jinling, which was obtained by the Yue family. From his usual indifference to his son-in-law, it is not difficult to guess that he has no sincerity towards Shang Qingrong.

Now Shang Qingrong, who is the person next to her pillow, sees all this clearly, that's why she is so sad, and she doesn't want to live with this hypocritical man anymore.

"What an actor..."

Thinking of this, Fang Jinling felt even more distressed.

At this time, a little servant girl came in quietly: "Mommy, someone from the Yang family is here."

Yesterday Yang was frightened and was forced to come in through the side door of the Hou Mansion. Under such humiliation, she immediately sent someone to Yang's house. Today, someone backed her up.

Nanny Lin and Fang Jinling looked at each other, and asked, "Who is here?"

"It's Aunt Yang's elder brother, who met Lord Hou directly."

"What about the lady?"

"The madam is seeing the managers everywhere."

Nanny Lin was a little worried, so he looked at Fang Jinling.

The latter said obediently: "Mommy, go, I will rest for a while."

"Hey, young master, please rest at ease. If you have something to do, let the servant girl report it."

Fang Jinling nodded, and Nanny Lin instructed Shu Yunyuan to go up and down before leaving.

As soon as she left, Fang Jinling called out, "Amethyst."

"Master." Zijing is Fang Jinling's big maid, who takes care of his daily life, she is steady and quiet.

Fang Jinling ordered: "Send someone to Songzhuyuan to have a look, and report to me immediately if there is any situation."

Songzhuyuan is the main courtyard, where Master Hou and his wife lived, and it was obvious that Fang Jinling was worried about his mother.

Amethyst didn't ask any more questions, and replied: "Yes."

"Go and call Chang Kong over."

Changkong is Fang Jinling's servant who follows in and out, but he doesn't leave the gate all the year round, so Changkong doesn't have many days by his side, and has been suffering from no chance to show himself, but now he comes as soon as he hears the call.

Changkong saluted hastily, raised a pair of piercing eyes and asked, "Master, are you looking for a younger one?"

The voice was crisp and clear, and Fang Jinling looked at his dark face with an expression of eagerness to try, he was lively and lively.

Fang Jinling nodded lightly: "Are you familiar with the front yard?"

Chang Kong replied: "Familiar." He thought for a while and asked, "Young Master, someone from the Yang family is here today, do you want me to watch it?"

Sure enough, Fang Jinling gave him an approving look, "Go and see what Master Hou will do next."

"Yes." Changkong didn't have any embarrassment on his face, and didn't ask any more questions, and went down immediately.

The entire Shuyun Courtyard was carefully selected by Shang Qingrong to serve him, and Fang Jinling did not doubt his loyalty.

After making arrangements, Fang Jinling got up and walked to the study according to memory.

Whether he likes it or not, his lonely soul in the last days has finally taken root in this body, and there is a high probability that he will live his whole life with this identity in this dynasty in the future.

He just woke up yesterday, his body was weak and hard to move, he could only lie down and fall asleep, this morning he ate some porridge, but he gained some strength.

Although he has the memory of the original owner, as long as he is careful, he will not be exposed, but after all, the memory can sometimes deceive people. According to his temperament, he must figure out the environment as soon as possible, and list the original owner's preferences, habits, including everything Fortunately, the original owner's interpersonal relationship is really simple, but it is easier.

The study room is not far from the bedroom, only a side room is separated, obviously it was arranged in this way to take care of his frailty, but it is only a few steps away.

The study room is very large, and there are many things in it. After all, it is the only place where the original owner spends time. Except for the desk, the surroundings are neatly organized. All this is due to the purple crystal behind him.

Fang Jinling walked around to the desk and sat down. A copybook and half a sheet of large characters were spread out in front of him. It could be seen that the original owner was copying it before he fell into a coma.

Fang Jinling compared the handwriting and found that the handwriting was almost the same as the copybook except for the lack of strength of the pen due to the weakness of the original body.He picked up the copybook and looked at it. There was no signature. Looking at the ink and paper, they were still new. His heart moved, and he asked casually: "Zijing, do my calligraphy have a bit of the charm of my father?"

Zijing listened, her eyes filled with impatience, and she said softly: "The young master copies it every day, but the servants can't tell the difference."

Sure enough, although the original owner didn't say anything, he couldn't let go of the fact that his father didn't like him.Marquis of Yunyang prides himself on being a Tanhua Lang, with outstanding literary talent, calligraphy and painting, so he must have the same requirements for his son.The original owner did what he liked and copied his handwriting just to please Yunyang Hou, but unfortunately the latter didn't care.

There were still a few books in the corner of the desk. Fang Jinling took the top one, but it was "Book of Rites". It turns out that the original owner also wanted to be famous, was it a title on the gold list?

The edge of the book has been rolled up, and the paper is softened, so it can be seen that it is often read. Below are a few related books. Looking at the handwriting on it, it is actually Yunyang Hou's.Seeing this, Fang Jinling let out a long sigh, feeling sour and wronged in his heart, feeling worthless for the original owner, he suddenly wanted to ask Marquis Yunyang if he knew what he had lost.

A son who admired him, admired him, truly followed his example, and tried his best to follow in his footsteps, died.

For Fang Jinling who is alive now, if he gets ahead, he will only do it for himself and his mother.

But with this weak body, it is impossible to win with martial arts, so he can only seek the imperial examination.

As for studying, it is still possible for the students who have studied hard for twenty years in the later generations.

Thinking of this, Fang Jinling closed the book slowly, and told Zijing, "Find out these scientific examination books for me. From now on, I will study and practice calligraphy as usual."

"Yes."

Passing by the calligraphy jar next to the desk, there were a few scrolls inserted on it. He knew that these were copied calligraphy and paintings, and Fang Jinling was more satisfied. Yanghou seldom came to Shuyun Courtyard, so he stayed in the jar all the time.

Fang Jinling stopped to look at it for a long time, and in his mind was the picture of the original owner coughing and painting, his face was full of anticipation and happiness.

Seeing this, Zijing's heart suddenly felt sour, thinking of Yunyang Hou Fang Jinling who has always been indifferent, and seeing the love for that illegitimate son yesterday, her eyes turned red, and she comforted: "Master, Master Hou is not worth your trouble Please, the young master has always been the best in the hearts of the servants, if the Hou Ye doesn't know how to inlay gold and jade, he will regret it if he mistakenly regards fish eyes as precious pearls."

"I know." He didn't have any expectations or friendship with Yunyanghou, but felt sorry for the original owner who was so devoted.

Fang Jinling didn't stay in the study for long, because his body didn't allow it, and Zijing saw his tiredness, so she persuaded him to go back and rest.

Fang Jinling didn't refuse, no matter how many things he wanted to do, he needed a good body, so he couldn't rush.He drank another bowl of medicine, lay down, and soon fell asleep.

But I don't know how long, in his sleep, he felt someone pushing him, opened his eyes dimly, and heard Zijing calling beside him: "Master, there is news from Songzhuyuan. There was a dispute, and it was said that the quarrel was fierce."

The author has something to say:

Question: Who should be responsible for the death of the original owner?
