The Evil King's Favorite Concubine: Genius Perfumer

Chapter 238 Another Year of Tanabata ([-])

For the Deling people, this year's Qixi Festival is no different from previous years.

The girls are busy changing new clothes, shopping in the market, and some wealthy families will gather the girls together for a moon-watching banquet, begging for a clever move from the Weaver Girl.Vendors will not miss this annual Qixi Night Market. The colorful sheds are placed from the streets of the city to the banks of the Fanjiang River as in the past years. It is very lively.

Hundreds of boats on the Fanjiang Wharf are decorated with lights and festoons, and the business is booming.This year, there is another group of leisurely scholars who want to do some "Qixi Flower Rankings". The hustle and bustle lasted for half a month. On the night of Qixi Festival, many popular girls were invited to compete in singing and dancing, and countless crowds of onlookers were attracted...

For the Fang family, the largest family in De Ling, this year's Qixi Festival is still different from the past.

Only a few direct descendants know that a branch of the Fang family who defected from the south of the Yangtze River has provoked some gangsters outside, and they have burned down two houses in and outside the city in two days, and all the master's servants are on fire. They were killed in the fire, and there was not even a whole body - in fact, the fire was so strong that it was impossible to tell which stump was the master or the servant.

Although it is only a branch, the Fang family has always been kind to relatives. The patriarch Fang Zhengkai was furious about this matter, and personally sent his confidant steward to the yamen to send a post, asking the county to do its best to investigate the case and seek justice for his dead clan members.

At the same time, the masters of the Fang family also ordered that the servants are not allowed to discuss this matter. Once found out, all the old servants who have been in the Fang family for several lifetimes will be sold at home.This order is serious enough, and the Fang family has always been very strict in family management, so the subordinates dare not talk too much, and this time they did not dare to spread anything about the family.

The Jiang family and other families were of course very interested in the "secrets" of the Fang family, especially the Jiang family, who even sent people to find out if there was anything to write about in this matter.

But the facts disappointed the Jiang family. Although this family has some relationship with the Fang family's Chen Nianyin, but from the past years and their behavior after returning to Deling, I really can't see any clues that can be used. , and there is no evidence that it was done by the direct line of the Fang family.As for?

Even a nouveau riche like the Jiang family who doesn't follow the family rules dare not use this method of killing the whole family if they want to suppress the branch!
This is the reason why Han Rui insisted not to inform Fang's elders before the attack, and he and Fang Shaobai would personally inform the patriarch Fang Zhengkai after the incident was completed.

The Fang family also couldn't deal with this kind of cruelty. The so-called heirs of poetry and books, decent country gentry, have a lot of scruples in doing things.Only people like Han Rui dared to do such a big thing with "boldness".

Of course, Han Rui would not spit out that huge amount of wealth. He and Fang Shaobai had a tacit understanding and did not report this.Fang Shaobai wouldn't be so stupid as to tell his father that he secretly kept a group of men who did dirty work, isn't this just a joke?

Well, that's right, Han Rui and Fang Shaobai just want to cheat.

Now Fang Shaobai has hidden that fortune in Han Rui's small courtyard. Although it cannot be said that it is very safe, unless an insider reports it, most people would not think that there are so many valuable things hidden in this ordinary house.

Fang Zhengkai, the head of the Fang family, was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time after learning that his son and the little prince's nephew jointly investigated and wiped out his cousin Fang Zhengcai.

Of course, the second uncle Fang Zhijun colluded with the pirates to embezzle stolen goods, and the so-called fallen leaves of the cousin actually wanted to murder the family's direct line... These also made the well-informed Fang Zhengkai almost stop beating in fright.

Don't be so exciting!

Fang Zhengkai, the elder of the Fang family and the current head of the clan, is recognized as a prudent person, fair in doing things, and deeply loved by the clan.

His requirements for his son's training have always been calm, decent, and courteous.In the past, he always felt that Fang Shaobai was a capable son who made him proud, but now...

It was only then that Fang Zhengkai realized that his son could do too much!
Just as Han Rui and Fang Shaobai had expected, Fang Zhengkai was shocked at first, then flew into a rage, followed by questioning, accusing, slapping the table and yelling at Fang Shaobai for acting without authorization—he dared not scold Han Rui—and then and then?

Not then.

Both Fang Zhengkai and Fang Shaobai understand that although they are still father and son in name, Fang Shaobai, the heir, has surpassed his father in energy with the help of Han Rui.He is no longer the eldest son "waiting to inherit the power of the Fang family" that the tribe and the common people thought. It is not so easy for the elders to control his life...

After performing all the scenes that the cousins ​​could think of, the patriarch Fang had no choice but to accept the reality and wiped their buttocks for them.In short, the government should not let the government suspect that there is something wrong with the branch where the accident happened, and lead the prisoners to their "enemies that they formed in the south of the Yangtze River in the past."

It is very difficult to handle cases in different places these days. Even if the Fang family went to the post and gave a generous gift to the county magistrate, the government can only send out a lot of police officers to search for clues and evidence, but in fact... just to show everyone.

The county magistrate is also a smart man. Although the Fang family's direct descendants put on a great posture to speak out for the clan, but from what he heard privately, the Fang family ordered the servants not to discuss this matter, it can be seen that the Fang family absolutely does not want to get involved in this case. What a scandal.

So, as long as a lot of people are sent to investigate the case, so that outsiders can see that the Fang family and the government are trying to catch the criminals, that's enough... After a long time, who still remembers this branch that came back from Jiangnan?I heard that the family has no fame, and the property was distributed to them by Fang's family after they returned home. It is estimated that no other sufferers will come to make trouble!

For the Gan family and Gan Tiantian, this year's Qixi Festival is happier and more complete than last year!
Last year, they were still a run-down family struggling on the poverty line. After the only pillar, Gan's father, died of illness, the whole family still owed a lot of debts.Tan Yushu had to go to the temple fair to copy documents for others, Gan Qiu carried bags on the pier to do coolies, Gan Dong dropped out of the school...

Last year's Qixi Festival was a turning point for their family's life to gradually improve.

At that time, with Gan Tiantian's strong opinion and "technical support", the three brothers and sisters sold ice bowls in the night market and earned the "first pot of gold".Because of this, Gan Tiantian got acquainted with Han Rui, and the family situation improved day by day.

This year's Qixi Festival, Tan Yushu successfully passed the county examination, and he will be able to go to the government for the examination soon.

Gan Qiu manages the farm in an orderly manner, and Gan Dong also makes great progress in his studies, and is often praised by his husband.

Needless to say, Gan Tiantian is a well-known official and family member.Although a young apprentice belongs to the bottom end of the pyramid in Da Xiao's fragrance medicine system, in her words... she has finally squeezed into the ranks of civil servants, even the lowest rank is better than the lowest rank!
