Chapter 48: Withdrawal



I feel good to leave work early.

Fang Zheng left the palace early, found a carriage and rushed home.

Along the way, Fang Zhengyi kept thinking about his meeting with Emperor Jing today.

Although he offended everyone, it was generally smooth...The most unexpected thing was that Emperor Jing was actually Li Long.

Fortunately, the emperor had a good impression of me.

However, the task of teaching the prince fell on me, which was a bit of a headache. The prince was obviously in a rebellious period. Judging from the emperor's performance, if I couldn't teach him well, I was afraid that I would be in a difficult situation...

While I was thinking about the future education policy for the prince, the carriage had already stopped.

The driver called out from outside: "Master, we're here."

Fang Zhengyi then paid and got off the car. The first person he saw was Bai Yi, who was looking around at the gate and no one knew what he was doing.

Bai Yi also happened to see Fang Zhengyi, and almost laughed out loud when she saw his disheveled clothes and black spots all over his body.

Taking small steps, he "enthusiastically" greeted him: "Ah... Master, why are you back so early? What is this dress...?"

Fang Zhengyi's face darkened as he pointed to the corner of the wall and said, "Go! Stand over there and come back inside for dinner."

"???"

Bai Yi's face suddenly became long, his mouth pursed, and he walked towards the corner slowly.

Whatever he says is what it is...I'm used to it...

Then Fang Zheng walked straight into the yard and quickly turned back.

Bai Yi was delighted to see someone coming out. Fang Zhengyi had always been unpredictable. Was he going to let her in again? It was not pleasant to stand here in such a cold weather.

"Where's Xiao Tao?"

"......, said he went out to look for someone."

"Oh, let her come to see me when she comes back. You stand somewhere else and watch the gate."

"......"

After finishing his instructions, Fang Zheng returned to the reclining chair in the courtyard. His eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he slowly fell asleep.

After a while, I felt someone pushing me. When I opened my eyes, I saw it was Xiaotao.

His face was full of fatigue.

"Master, you're looking for me?"

"Where have you been?" Fang Zheng rubbed his eyes and stood up.

Xiao Tao said angrily, "Where else can I go! Didn't you ask me to find that Li Long? And I went out to find a few workers today and came back to repair the toilet. Wasn't that what you told me to do?"

Thinking of how Xiao Tao had run for two days in vain, Fang Zheng smiled awkwardly and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Um... you don't need to look for Li Long anymore. Let's just leave it at that."

"Hey, where is the guy who repaired the hut?"

"Come tomorrow."

All right, Fang Zhengyi shook his head helplessly. To him, this toilet was the most important thing.

Thinking back to when he first arrived in Jing Country, this matter was Fang Zhengyi’s number one enemy!

People didn't care much about using the toilet, they just went anywhere, some even just pulled up their pants and left! Fang Zheng thought this was disgusting, and later, under his absolute authority, he ordered all the people in the county to clean up, and this changed.

There are no plumbing or toilets in Beijing, and renovation will take some effort...

When Fang Zhengyi thought about the lack of flush toilets, he couldn't help but feel sad. He didn't know how the protagonists of the online novels he read in his previous life solved this problem...

\"Master...were you beaten up when you went to court? How come your clothes are all torn apart and covered in ink? Bring them here quickly, I'll wash them for you.\"

Fang Zheng glared at them one by one: "Nonsense! Who dares to hit me? This clothes can't be washed. I brought new official uniforms and framed the old ones! Use the best materials! Then hang it on the screen wall and write a few words next to it!"

"What to write..." Xiao Tao muttered in her heart. She didn't know what was on the young master's mind. Could the official uniform be framed?

Fang Zheng thought about it, then shook his head and said, "Write it on the screen wall, where the emperor splashed ink!"

Xiao Tao was dumbfounded: "This...this...this ink spot was made by the emperor? Did you make the emperor angry? "

Fang Zhengyi lay down again and waved his hand, saying, "Stop talking nonsense and go quickly. Your Majesty and I are as close as brothers. I pick up the food for him when he eats!"

"I'm going to sleep first. Call me when it's time for dinner. Oh, and Xiaobai, she's in charge of the gate now, so let her in when it's time for dinner!"

"..." Xiao Tao looked towards the gate helplessly.

Poor Xiaobai, I don't know how he offended the young master again.

......

Inside the Shangshu Mansion, the Minister of Revenue Zhang Shi and his son were sitting opposite each other at the table and having a conversation.

"Dad, is Fang Zhengyi really as bold as you said?" Zhang Chang put down his chopsticks and asked in surprise.

Zhang Shi nodded and said with a smile: "This boy...haha, he is really bold. He angered everyone as soon as he entered the room, especially daring to openly contradict Mr. Zhang and His Majesty."

"With such a perverse personality, it is hard to believe that he will last long, but Your Majesty does think highly of him."

Zhang Chang sneered: "I didn't expect such a fool could stand in the court openly. It's ridiculous. Then I..."

Zhang Shi saw Zhang Chang's worries and said slowly, "Why are you so anxious? Fang Zhengyi is just lucky enough to be valued by His Majesty. He is so proud of himself just because he was given a title that is not worth mentioning."

"Who cares about a penniless Taoyuan County? Chang'er, with your father here, are you still worried about your future career?"

"You don't need to do anything else. There's nothing wrong with drinking wine and tea with those Ji Zi Long Wen every day. It will be convenient to get to know more people in the future. If you enter the court in the future, you will be busy!"

"Don't complain to your father then!"

Zhang Chang grinned and quickly poured a glass of wine for Zhang Shi: "Dad, I'm not in a hurry. I'm happy drinking and reciting poems every day, but I feel a little angry when I hear such a villain like Fang Zhengyi suddenly."

"No future! He takes a minor official of the seventh rank seriously? Judging from the attitude of you gentlemen, he will be dismissed from his position as the prince's companion in no time! How much real knowledge can he have by relying on his eloquence? Haha"

While the father and son were chatting and laughing, the housekeeper suddenly walked in.

He bowed and said, "Master, there is a man outside looking for you, his name is Jia Liang, and he is waiting in the courtyard now."

Jia Liang? Zhang Chang stood there for a while before he remembered.

This man is the shopkeeper who runs Fulailou on my behalf. We rarely interact with each other on weekdays. Why did he come to see me at this time today?

"Dad, I'll go take a look."

Zhang Chang walked to the courtyard and saw Jia Liang walking around in circles. He frowned and asked, "Jia Liang! What do you want from me?"

When Jia Liang saw that it was the real boss, his face lit up with joy, and then he quickly knelt down and bowed his head and cried, "Master, please make the decision for me!!"
