The secret of the Fang family, that is, the secret of the origin of the imperial edict, and also the secret of the Fang family's rise to wealth.

Although there are many versions of the story circulating in the outside world, and everyone is extremely sure of it, the truth of the matter is not even known by the Fang family. The only one who knows it is Old Lady Fang.

"The reason why we had this secret agreement was that it couldn't be revealed to anyone," Fang Chengyu said. "Grandma, a secret that can't be revealed to anyone is definitely not a good secret. For some people, only the dead can keep silent and can keep secrets the best."

Old Mrs. Fang looked gloomy and lowered her eyes.

"Grandma, you are the most important person in our family." Fang Chengyu half-knelt in front of her, held her hand and said, "The important person in our family has never been me, a male. Without me, there are you, mother, and sisters. The so-called inheritance is not me, a man, but our bloodline of the Fang family, and our perseverance."

Old Mrs. Fang looked up at him with a complicated expression, one of sadness and relief.

"But one good thing about me being a man is that I can withstand the bumps on the road." Fang Chengyu said excitedly again.

Fang Yuxiu coughed aside.

"Second sister, I'm fine now, please stop coughing." Fang Chengyu turned around and said angrily.

Everyone in the room couldn't help laughing.

The atmosphere became a little more relaxed and cheerful.

"Besides, other people don't know how powerful the women in our Fang family are. They just see that I'm a man and think that I'm the most important person in the Fang family. So my trip to Beijing to meet the emperor is also a respect for the emperor, and it shows the sincerity and gratitude of our Fang family." Fang Chengyu continued.

Old Mrs. Fang sighed lightly and helped Fang Chengyu up.

"You've grown up," she said. "We are relieved that you can go to the capital."

That's consent.

Mrs. Fang shook her head but said nothing more.

Fang Chengyu happily bowed to the old lady.

"Don't worry, grandma," he said, and bowed to Mrs. Fang, "Don't worry, mother."

Then he bowed to Fang Yunxiu and Fang Yuxiu.

"Don't worry, sisters."

Everyone in the room laughed again.

"Well, the imperial edict will probably be delivered soon." Old Lady Fang stood up and said, "Let's go and receive it."

Mrs. Fang helped Mrs. Fang out in response. Yuan, who was standing in the yard, immediately understood and gave instructions to the maid.

Soon, deafening firecrackers were heard outside, followed by the sound of gongs and drums, and the whole Yangcheng became lively.

Old Madam Fang led her people out, but Fang Chengyu still stood in the yard without moving.

"Having said so much," Fang Yuxiu said with a half-smile, "If it weren't for Zhenzhen, you wouldn't bother going to the capital."

"Yes." Fang Chengyu said with a smile, "But this does not conflict with not letting grandma go."

Fang Yuxiu curled her lips.

"Master Fang, Mr. Fang, the emperor has issued an edict. Go quickly. Don't hide at home like us girls," she said.

Fang Chengyu put his hand on his head.

"No, I feel a little dizzy and I'm not feeling well. I need to lie down for a while," he said.

The girls nearby really came to help him with a smile.

Fang Chengyu also staggered as he was supported by his father.

"Is the carriage ready?"

"Gifts should be packed in a separate car."

"Bring Chef Huang with you. Jiuling likes her cooking the best."

He walked and gave instructions with great energy.

The maids and servants responded yes repeatedly.

Fang Chengyu suddenly shook his head again.

"That's too troublesome and too slow. It's better to leave for Beijing immediately without taking anything."

After saying this, he threw away the maid who was supporting him and ran forward in two or three steps.

"I'm going to the capital."

This attracted the maids to follow behind her like flowers and butterflies, making constant coquettish and angry sounds.

Fang Yuxiu and Fang Yunxiu both laughed.

"It's interesting to be so happy even when you know the future is going to be difficult." Fang Yuxiu said.

Fang Yunxiu smiled.

"Because in the midst of all the difficulties and dangers, there is always one thing or one person that makes people happy when they think of or see them. Just having a little bit of that is enough to make life joyful." She said, "So this is why people are willing to be human. It is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death."

…

As Fang Chengyu left Yangcheng and headed for the capital, people in the capital also became busy.

"Is Chengyu's residence here or did he buy a new house from Deshengchang?" Chen Qi ran over and asked.

"Here." Miss Jun said without raising her head.

Chen Qi answered yes and hurried out.

Miss Jun continued to look through the letter in her hand.

There were letters asking where Fang Chengyu was going, and letters from Madam Xiao. Lu Yunqi hadn't come to bother her in the past few days, and life seemed to be very peaceful.

Of course, this peace is only relative. We have to prepare for Fang Chengyu's coming to the capital, and we have also been keeping an eye on the whereabouts of Eunuch Yuan Bao. We had news about him just yesterday.

When a eunuch came to the palace to exchange banknotes, he mentioned the name of Eunuch Yuan.

"I don't know where he got into trouble and came to Your Majesty to get close to him."

"Your Majesty is most merciful and considerate to keep him."

"Look at how proud he is now. Even Lord Lu has taken a back seat."

As the eunuchs sat waiting, the waiter who served them tea heard their idle chatter and complained.

"This shows that this person stayed in the palace." said Shopkeeper Liu.

Miss Jun paused while flipping through the letter. Yes, the emperor was going to take action against Deshengchang, so Yuan Bao didn't need to watch from outside and act secretly.

From these few words, it seems that Deshengchang’s secret must be related to the emperor, and even Lu Yunqi didn’t know about it when Yuan Bao was in the palace, so Lu Yunqi had to step back in front of the emperor.

What shameful things could the King of Qi do at that time?

It's hard to say. Now that I think about it, the planning of the King of Qi and his mother must have been going on for more than a day or two.

Miss Jun sighed, lowered her head and continued reading the letter.

Fang Chengyu arrived very quickly and had a safe journey. He arrived in the capital ten days later.

Standing in a roadside tavern outside the capital, King Xian looked at Miss Jun and her group who couldn't wait to go forward to greet them in person, then turned back to look at Zhu Zan who was still sitting at the table drinking.

"As a brother-in-law, you should go pick up your brother-in-law." He said, chuckling, "lest your brother-in-law dislikes you and gives you a hard time. After all, he said that this person is very important to him."

Zhu Zan sneered.

"Thanks for coming up," he said.

"You have met your brother-in-law..." King Xian asked curiously, "What does he look like?"

What? It felt like it was so long ago that he could barely remember it.

Zhu Zan thought about the sickly, skinny and mischievous child.

"Not a serious person," he said, throwing his glass on the table.

King Xian exclaimed.

"What a spirited young man," he said, his voice full of exclamation, and waved his hand hurriedly, "Zhu Er Zhu Er, come and see, is this the man?"

Spirit?

Is there any guy in the world who is more energetic than him?

Zhu Zan snorted twice, stood up reluctantly and walked to the window, and saw a group of people surrounding a man on the road below the restaurant.

In the sunlight, he just felt dizzy.

Huh, is this a robbery of the safe or a robbery of the jewelry store?

Wearing a golden crown and gorgeous clothes, he was covered with silver and jade.

Zhu Zan opened his eyes wide before he could see the man's face clearly.

Although he had gained some weight and grown a little taller, his face had not changed and was now smiling, a smile that showed both happiness and grievance.

"Sister." He shouted, jumping down and rushing towards the woman who was coming towards him.

Zhu Zan clicked his tongue twice.

"Look at this indecent look," he said. "It's simply unbearable to watch."

whee

Is it fun? Is it exciting? Ladies and boys, uncles and aunts, would you like to give me some money?
