The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 10
[Chapter 10 Selling property]
Anping residence, study room.
Two calm, middle-aged men sat on either side of the desk.
One of them picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, “How is your boy?”
The other one looked tired with his brows and replied, “Some flesh wounds, nothing serious.”
An Pingbo Fangrui sighed. : “His Royal Highness Prince Ning went too far this time…”
Although Wu Yi’s injury was caused by Fang Xiu, in their eyes.
The culprit is undoubtedly the Yang family behind Zuihua Pavilion, and behind the Yang family is the second prince, Prince Ning.
So this debt has to be settled on King Ning in the end.
The fight for heirloom has entered a white-hot stage.
Above the court, King Ning and King Kang were evenly matched, and the biggest breakthrough was undoubtedly the generals who held heavy troops.
However, since the time of Taizu in Chu State, there has been no precedent for a general to participate in the seizure of heir apparent.
His Highness Prince Ning… was a little anxious.
The two were silent for a long time.
Fang Rui suddenly said, “By the way, it’s my father’s death anniversary in two days. I plan to take my wife back to my hometown in Qingzhou to pay homage.”
“Qingzhou? How do I remember…”
Wu Yushan paused mid-sentence. He nodded thoughtfully: “My wife just happened to be unwell during this period, and I was planning to take her to get some treatment. Qingzhou has beautiful mountains and clear waters, far away from the hustle and bustle, and is a good place to recuperate…”
………
“The old man has returned to Qingzhou. ?”
Fang Xiu was confused when he heard the news.
Okay, why are you suddenly going back to Qingzhou to worship your ancestors?
It’s been half a year since I left.
But after thinking for a moment, he understood the reason why the cheap daddy did this.
This is to implement the strategy of not taking sides to the end!
It’s just that you have all returned to Qingzhou. What does it mean to leave me alone in Kyoto?
Aren’t you afraid that your only son will be framed?
do not care.
When you return to your hometown to worship your ancestors, you go back to your hometown to worship your ancestors.
Without the restraints, I can let go of my hands and feet in the capital.
Thinking of this, Fang Xiu’s eyes lit up and he waved his hand.
The loser Bai Xiaochun hurriedly came over and said flatteringly: “Master, your orders…”
Fang Xiu thought for a while and said: “Wait a minute, go to the street to find some storytellers, and then…”
Bai Xiaochun became more and more confused as he listened, but still He nodded obediently and said, “Xiao Chun will do it now.”
“Wait a minute!”
Fang Xiu stopped Bai Xiaochun and ordered, “Go find the chief manager and the accountant first.”
…
After all, he is An Pingbo’s only one. The legitimate son, the future owner of the Anping Mansion.
Fang Xiu’s words still carry a lot of weight. In a moment, the chief manager and accountant Liu appeared in front of him.
The two of them were panting, but they didn’t dare to take a big breath and bowed to look at the ground.
“Master, what are your orders?”
Fang Xiu sat on the Grand Master’s chair, crossed his legs, looked down at them, and asked, “How much land is there in the mansion?”
The chief steward thought of the rumors about the ‘prodigal son’ in the city two days ago, and felt a little in his heart. Surprised, he answered honestly: “There are more than 1,300 acres outside the city. In addition, there are two barren mountains, occupying more than 3,000 acres of land, but they are of little use.”
When he spoke, He raised his head slightly and looked directly at his young master.
It seems that he wanted to see if he was really suffering from mental illness and became an out-and-out prodigal as the rumors outside said.
Immediately afterwards, Fang Xiu asked: “How much silver can it be sold for?”
The chief manager froze in place as if struck by lightning.
The State of Chu was in its prime, and the Prince’s Mansion was in a prosperous stage. How could anyone sell land at this time?
Sure enough, the young master is really crazy!
Thinking of his master’s instructions before leaving, the chief steward knelt down on the ground with tears in his eyes. “Young
master
, you can’t sell your land! You’re selling my land… This will cause thunder and lightning! If you sell it, everyone in the capital will laugh at the Fang family and stab you and the master in the back!”
Crying and wailing at the same time, it makes people feel upset.
Fang Xiu even had a black streak on his head.
When do you want to sell your land?
“Get up! When did I say I was going to sell the land?”
With a scolding, the chief manager had no reaction and was still wailing.
Fang Xiu went up and kicked him: “You are screaming!”
The chief steward was kicked and immediately became silent. His eyes were full of tears and he looked at Fang Xiu pitifully.
She looked like a wronged little daughter-in-law.
Fang Xiu felt goosebumps all over his body.
He must be in his forties or fifties, why is he so disgusting?
Fang Xiu took a deep breath and said slowly: “The land can’t be sold, but the house and the antique calligraphy and paintings collected by the old man can be sold, right?”
The chief manager’s eyes suddenly turned red, he scratched his heart, and started wailing again. stand up.
“Master, I have been working for the master since I was a child. I have lived in this house for 40 years…”
“That’s enough!”
Fang Xiu scolded and said angrily: “In this mansion, do you or I make the decision? ?”
The chief steward opened his mouth and said, “Before I leave, Master…”
Before he was halfway through his words, he was interrupted by Fang Xiu.
“I was not here when the old man was talking. Who knows what he said!”
Seeing Fang Xiu’s firm attitude, the chief manager burst into tears and said: “Master, our Anping Mansion is a worthy family in Kyoto. This house cannot be sold. !”
Fang Xiu was really angry this time. He stood up from the Grand Master’s chair, looked down at the general manager, and said angrily: “I will sell it if I say it! If anyone dares to talk nonsense again, I will break his legs! “
After he finished speaking, he raised his head and looked around.
The servants and stewards in the mansion lowered their heads in fear, not daring to look directly at Fang Xiu.
Fang Xiu’s aura was like a rainbow, his eyes revealed a fierceness, and he said sternly: “Don’t you know the rules in the house? I am my father’s only son. Now that my father has returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, I have the final say in the house. ! Anyone who dares to object is a traitor to the government, and even breaking his legs is easy!”
Hearing Fang Xiu’s words, the chief manager took a breath.
Having watched the young master grow up, he understands the young master’s temper better than anyone else.
In the past eighteen years, I have never seen the young master say such a thing.
In the past, although the young master was not doing his job properly, he was still kind to the people in the house. He had never been so cruel.
This must be a case of madness!
However, the young master has reached this point. If he still objects, he will inevitably be beaten up by the young master.
It’s better to pretend to agree first, and then send a letter to the master for him to make a decision.
As long as the master speaks, no matter how powerful the young master is, he still has to listen to the master.
Thinking of this, the chief steward finally stopped crying and only sobbed softly.
Fang Xiu glanced at him and seemed to have thought of something. He waved his hand and said, “Come here, tie him up. When I feel better, let him out.”
Several guards moved in response.
The chief manager’s heart skipped a beat, and he was restrained before he could react.
“Master, I watched you grow up, you can’t do this!”
With a wailing voice, he was tied up and dragged out of the house by several guards.
Fang Xiu turned his attention to Accountant Liu and said: “From now on, everything that can be sold in the mansion, including the house, will be sold.
Invite people from the tooth shop to come, and after the negotiation is completed, we will exchange it for silver. Go now!”
