Chapter 430 Past
Wang Yang didn't respond, but his eyes grew colder.
"Do you want me to help you teach him a lesson so that he can learn how to behave?" the man continued.
"What lesson is there to teach? He lost a bet with someone and he should accept the defeat. There is nothing for him to be dissatisfied with." Another young man in a red brocade robe poured himself a glass of wine with a somewhat aggressive tone.
But as soon as he spoke, everyone else who wanted to stand up for Wang Yang, whether truly or imaginarily, fell silent.
"Third Young Master is right. I don't feel wronged for losing to such a person." Wang Yang forced a smile and spoke hypocritically.
Lin Bosheng nodded slightly, thinking that his performance was quite acceptable.
The people sitting in this box are all the children of officials from Huai'an Prefecture.
Among them, Lord Lin’s son is naturally the leader.
Although he was neither good at literature nor martial arts, and ranked third, with a legitimate eldest son ahead of him, he might not have much future prospects.
But Lin Bosheng was still very favored at home and was also a legitimate son.
A group of young masters naturally had to give him some face. It was also because he was at the party today that Lord Wang reluctantly agreed to let his son go out.
"By the way, Bai Sheng, some time ago, I asked you to play polo, and your servants kept reporting back that you were going to meet an honored guest. What kind of honored guest was it that required you, the son of the prefect, to meet him in person?" Chen Rong spoke up, changing the subject.
He had a better relationship with Lin Bosheng, so he was less reserved when speaking.
When talking about this, Lin Bosheng felt a little depressed.
His father had taken him to Zhou's house several times, but he hadn't even seen the noble man.
Even the last time, I couldn’t enter the mansion.
A mere imperial physician returning to his hometown to retire was quite arrogant. But his father said that it wasn't Elder Zhou who made the decision, and told him not to talk nonsense outside.
Lin Bosheng shook his head: "You said you are an honored person, so your status must be higher than mine. You are not someone we can casually approach. Let's drink."
When these words were spoken, the young masters were surprised.
What kind of person could make the fearless Lin Sanshao feel humiliated?
In addition to them, Mr. and Mrs. Fang Jin, who were two private rooms away, also saw the people downstairs.
Fang Jin found it an eyesore and had no interest in listening to the book.
Wang Fujiao was just feeling bored: "Husband, why don't we go back home? The embroiderer just made me a dress a few days ago..."
Fang Jin shuddered for no reason, but smiled gently, "Don't worry, Jiaojiao. The storyteller is telling a new story today, and I want to listen for a while longer."
Dazzled by his smile, Wang Fujiao reluctantly agreed.
He, who was watching behind them, was no longer moved.
She has been promoted now and no longer wants to compete for Fang Jin's favor. Since she has been able to cling to Wang Fujiao's lap, her life has been very different.
The maid came back and obeyed her again.
Wang Fujiao even arranged for someone to make two sets of clothes for her. Although the patterns and styles were very old, the material was good, pure cotton!
As for new clothes, she has only worn a few in all these years since she married into the Fang family.
Even if there were any, they were linen clothes.
As for food and drink, she only needs to serve her parents-in-law and prevent them from disturbing Wang Fujiao, and there will be meat for every meal.
Comparing the two, she has discovered that following Wang Fujiao is the right way.
Fang Jin's love and affection can't be exchanged for anything.
She now wanted to surrender to Wang Fujiao more sincerely. As long as the house and the shop in the county town were completely owned by her two sons, she would never get close to Fang Jin for the rest of her life.
So she moved quietly and left the private room.
Fang Nanzhi was listening to a book with great fascination when suddenly someone beside him called out in a high-pitched voice: "Zhizhi~~"
When she turned around, she saw He's face, which was as smiling as a chrysanthemum. She couldn't help shaking her arms and felt goose bumps all over her body. "Auntie, no, cousin, is there something wrong?"
She had never seen He like this since she could remember.
The little girl was secretly wary, thinking that she was quite like a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken.
Qin Yan and Fang Yin also looked over, with the same strange expressions on their faces, but did not disturb him.
"It's nothing. Auntie just sees that you've grown taller and your face is fair and pretty, so I want to treat you with some affection." He's voice was so gentle that water could almost drip out of it.
Fang Nanzhi became even more frightened. She leaned back a little, created some distance, and swallowed.
I was just about to say that they are not actually that familiar with each other.
He has already continued: "By the way, where is your father? Let me say hello to him."
Fang Nanzhi narrowed his eyes and felt uncomfortable when he thought about the notebook he had been secretly reading recently.
Fang Yin, who had also eavesdropped on the storybook, spoke first: "Sister-in-law, you must be a good wife, and my brother doesn't like you."
He almost choked to death on her saliva. What did this idiot say?
"Fang Yin, stop talking nonsense. I have something serious to discuss with Fang Tong!" She slapped her thigh, feeling deeply wronged. "I want to buy pills from him."
Fang Nanzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked curiously: "What pill?"
He took a look at her height and didn't answer directly: "You are a child and don't understand family matters. Just ask whether your father is here or not."
Fang Nanzhi rolled his eyes, let out a long "Oh", and understood.
"Is it a kidney-tonifying pill?"
"I have some. Do you want to buy some? Forty taels each."
Now, it was He's turn to be stunned. How did the third son teach his daughter? He even told his daughter such things?
"Zhizhi!" She clamped her voice again, with a smile on her face: "Well, I'm your aunt, an elder, so can I get a discount on things?"
He was too lazy to find out whether Fang Tong was there or not, and even wanted to take the opportunity to bargain.
She had been staying in the mansion for a long time during this period, and she had also heard that Wang Fujiao bought tonics for Fang Jin from time to time.
It is said that Wang Fujiao’s favorite is the kidney-tonifying pills sold by Fang Tong, but they are too expensive.
Children are always easier to fool.
"No." Fang Nanzhi's face was stern, very ruthless: "You are not good to me, why should I give you a discount?"
"You stole my eggs, the cloth my father bought, beat me secretly, and even wanted me to become a child bride for Fang Qingya."
"Being a child bride is very pitiful. You don't have enough to eat, you don't have warm clothes, and you have to work and get beaten every day. Aunt, you are so bad. I should increase the price to sell you."
Fang Nanzhi nodded as he spoke, as if he thought it made sense.
For most of these things, she or her father retaliated and did not suffer any loss, but that does not mean she does not hold a grudge.
So she frowned and wondered how much to add.
Although when it comes to price increases, the more the better.
But when she looked He up and down, she didn't look like a rich person at all.
"Add five hundred coins!" she asked tentatively.
Fang Yin was unhappy: "Not enough! My cousin's wife also made me chop firewood in the winter, let me farm eight acres of land by myself, and put hay in my cotton clothes."
How can hay keep warm?
He did this purely to save cotton.
He was stupid at the time and didn't know how to tell the truth. It was only when his younger brother found out and gave him half of the cotton in his own cotton-padded jacket that he didn't freeze to death.
