Chapter 183 Prince and Crown Prince Presents, Official Visit

Chapter 183 Prince and Crown Prince Presents, Official Visit
in the afternoon.

Fang Yuan returned to his new home in Chang'an City.

The new home was chosen and purchased by Juzi and Hongxuqing.

As soon as he came back, Fang Yuan heard the complaints from Juzi and Hongxu Qingyan.

"Fang Yuan, the mansion in Chang'an City is too expensive!"

"Yes, master, you must not know that it costs [-] guan!"

"Eight hundred guan, eight hundred guan, if I sell the eight hundred, there is no [-] guan!"

After parting with Fang Yuan at noon, they went to the dental store to find a house.

Under the leadership of Ya Xing, he saw several good mansions, and finally settled on this mansion.

It is not smaller than the one in Liaozhou City, nor is it stingy than the one in Wuling County, but the price is more than dozens of times higher.

Eight hundred guan, they didn't expect that the house price in Chang'an City is so expensive, it's really an inch of money.

"If it's expensive, it's expensive. Have you taken care of your hygiene?"

When Fang Yuan heard the price, he couldn't help feeling that the house price was very expensive.

Fortunately, I have money, otherwise I can only live in the backyard of the county government.

"It's been cleaned."

"My lord, we've spent half of our money."

Hong Xu said with a sad face.

Fang's mansion has a lot of money, but it's actually not much.

Liaozhou invested a lot of money, and now a lot of money has not returned.

A lot of money lent by the bank has not yet been recovered, and the money for the construction of the city gate was temporarily taken out of Fangfu.

So much so that Fangfu doesn't have much money to use now, and after buying the house, there is not much left, which makes both Hongxu and Qingyi worry about going bankrupt.

"It will be profitable soon."

Fang Yuan waved his hand, it doesn't matter.

Money is earned and used, and he never worries about money.

As long as you have resources in hand, with your own status, you don't have to worry about having no money to use.

Moreover, the salt and tea in Li Shimin's hands will be distributed to himself a part of the profits every six months.

In a few days, I will contact Changsun Chong and the others to discuss the issue of starting a new business in Chang'an City.

When Hong Xu and Qing Yan heard this, they didn't complain so much, they ran to Fang Yuan and gave him a massage.

After Fang Yuan sat down, he suddenly felt a burst of exhaustion, he lay down on Hong Xu's lap and closed his eyes to rest his mind.

The newly purchased furniture for the mansion is routine, and it is necessary to ask someone to customize some furniture to meet the usual eating and sitting.

"Master, are you tired today?"

Hongxu blushed slightly and asked.

Fang Yuan is rarely so intimate in the hall, and the giant is still there.

But after Juzi saw Fang Yuan lying down, he didn't complain any more and went back towards the backyard.

Fang's family has just moved, and there are still many things to do. He also needs to sort out the affairs of the Mohist Research Institute.

"It's a little tired."

Fang Yuan didn't open his eyes, sighed.

Just arrived in Chang'an city today and drank some wine.

Before he recovered, he had an incident with Princess Xiangcheng in the latrine.

Although most of his sanity was lost by the love potion at that time, the moistness in it made Fang Yuan have endless aftertaste.

A princess is a princess, not something that ordinary women can compare to, her natural nobility surpasses that of many, many people.

In the end, he fought with Pei Ji again. After so many things happened in just one day, he was indeed a little tired and wanted to rest earlier.

But just sat down and didn't really want to get up, so I'll go back to sleep later.

"Then master, take care of yourself."

Hong Xu said softly.

The two of them relaxed a little.

Just when Fang Yuan was about to enter his dream, Gou Zi came over.

He has now been trained and started as a gatekeeper.

"Master, someone is giving gifts outside the door."

"It is said that it was sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Third Prince, and I want you to collect it yourself."

Gouzi said solemnly.

If it hadn't been for the training of the Fang Mansion, he would have been so frightened that he would have lost his composure when he learned that it was the prince who gave the gift.

But even so, he was still shocked in his heart, and couldn't believe that it was the prince who gave his master a gift.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Third Prince?"

Fang Yuan opened his eyes immediately and sat up from the ground.

I never thought that on the first day I arrived in Chang'an City, the two princes would give gifts.

The point is, one of the princes is still a prince, which Fang Yuan did not expect.

"Yes, the other party claims to be the Cheng Cheng of the two princes."

Gouzi nodded heavily.

The visitor was unusual, he made sure twice before coming to Fang Yuan to report.

"The gift is accepted."

"Let's just say I'm unwell and unable to receive it in person."

"If I have to go in person, let them bring the gift back."

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment, said in a deep voice.

Whether it's the crown prince or the third prince, Fang Yuan can't provoke them.

Between the two of them, there shouldn't be too much contact, it's best not to see each other.

But accepting the gift meant that he did not reject the two people's overtures, and did not offend them to death.

And if it was Jia Cheng who brought the gift back, it was Jia Cheng's problem, not his own.

"Ok!"

Gouzi nodded heavily.

he left but came back shortly after
When I came back, I brought back four large boxes.

The four big boxes are tied with red cloth, which looks very festive.

Just in time, Mrs. Li's family of three walked out.

"Fang Yuan, did someone give gifts just after arriving in Chang'an City?"

Li Danqiu said in surprise.

Looking at the four big boxes in front of me, they should contain a lot of good things.

Madam Li was also very curious, her beautiful eyes looked at Fang Yuan in amazement, feeling surprised.

Although Fang Yuan is a Chang'an Order, but in Chang'an City, where dragons and tigers are hidden, there are many higher ranks than Chang'an Order, generally no one will give gifts.

And Fang Yuan remembers to give gifts before taking office, is it necessary to please him so much?
"Do you want it?"

"I will give you whatever you want."

Fang Yuan smiled and said.

"so good?"

"Wow, they are all good things!"

Li Danqiu looked at Fang Yuan in surprise.

Walking up to the box and opening it, I was even more surprised.

They are all good things, gold, pearls, jewelry, famous paintings, silk, etc., are all good things.

Not just one box, but all four boxes, all of which are valuables.

Mrs. Li and Li Siwen watched and couldn't help sighing.

What a generosity to give such a precious gift.

The key is that four boxes were sent, which is terrible.

"The gift from the crown prince and the third prince, isn't it a good thing?"

Fang Yuan sighed.

I was also shocked by the generosity of the two.

It's really heroic, at least it's worth a few hundred pennies, right?
The two wanted to win him over, but they paid such a large amount of money.

But my mere District Chang'an Order is only a fifth grade, so do I need to be so exaggerated?

"Sent by the crown prince and the third prince?"

Li Danqiu exclaimed.

Immediately put back the precious piece of gold hairpin.

She didn't dare to take things from the crown prince and the third prince.

Mrs. Li, mother and son also looked at Fang Yuan in surprise, their eyes were full of surprise.

Just arrived in Chang'an City, there were two princes giving gifts, Fang Yuan is so attractive?

Although Mrs. Li's family of three knew the importance of the Chang'an Order, it shouldn't be so important, right?

"Yeah, it's really a hot potato."

"Red catkins and green cats, move them in and put them away, don't use them for now."

Fang Yuan sighed, and ordered Hong Xu and Qing Yan to go to work.

Hongxu and Qingxie immediately ordered Gouzi and the others to remove the box and move it to the backyard.

"Fang Yuan, the struggle for imperial power has been dangerous since ancient times, so be careful."

Mrs. Li couldn't help reminding.

She was worried that Fang Yuan would be caught in the dispute between the crown prince and the third prince.

Although there is a prince in the imperial court, the current majesty himself is not a prince.

Coupled with the fact that many people in the court support the third prince, the dispute between the prince and the third prince is inevitable.

As Li Ji's first wife, Mrs. Li knows a lot of inside information, I hope Fang Yuan can be careful and not easily team up.

"Don't worry, I know."

Fang Yuan smiled gratefully.

He thought for a while, all the sleepiness dissipated, he didn't eat, and there were more important things to do.

Cai Guogong mansion.

The mansion was quickly cleaned up and down to welcome the distinguished guests.

Including Du Miaoyan, everyone in the host family took action.

Du He drank a lot during the day, and was very dissatisfied after being pulled up.

"Father, Fang Yuan will come whenever he wants, why did he pick such a time, eh."

Du He said dissatisfied.

Before he finished speaking, he burped.

The strong smell of alcohol made Du Ruhui sick to his stomach, and immediately rewarded him with a chestnut.

The pain caused Du He to wake up quite a bit, holding his mouth shut, and was very reluctant to help with cleaning.

"You kid, you seriously lack political consciousness."

"Fang Yuan takes office tomorrow, and tomorrow is Chang'an Order. If you come to visit us after tomorrow, the meaning will be different."

"Before taking office as the Chang'an Order tonight, no one can say anything about visiting us. It's a good thing for us or Fang Yuan."

Du Ruhui taught.

Although there is no order from the imperial court, officials above the fourth rank cannot gather casually in private.

Fang Yuan, as Chang'an Ling, even though he is only a fifth-rank official, actually possesses power that some officials of the fourth-rank official do not have.

Therefore, Fang Yuan also needs to pay attention to his identity, he can't go through the trial with any minister in private, so as not to be impeached by the emperor after being discovered.

The emperor's most taboo is that his courtiers get too close.

Du He snorted and looked at Du Miaoyan at the side.

Du Miaoyan's pretty face was slightly flushed, and her eyes were lost in thought and anticipation.

He immediately sighed in his heart, lamenting that his sister's heart was taken away by someone.

I hope Fang Yuan didn't come here to pick out the relationship with his sister this time, otherwise it would be really uncomfortable.

Not long.

Fang Yuan arrives.

With Xue Bowu and several guards.

Du He and Du Miaoyan had already personally greeted them at the door.

As a right servant, Du Ruhui couldn't meet Fang Yuan in person.

At this time, the sun had already set, it was already evening, and the sky was about to get dark.

"Fang Yuan, you picked this time to come, what's the matter?"

Du Miaoyan asked expectantly.

She also noticed that there were two big boxes behind Fang Yuan.

Looking at the expression of the person carrying the box, one could tell that the contents of the box were heavy.

After the words fell, Du He, who had not fully woke up from the drunkenness, looked at Fang Yuan, vigilant and expectant.

"I came to express my thanks to Du Xiang."

"I haven't thanked Du Xiang face to face for my promotion to Liaozhou governor."

Fang Yuan said seriously.

He was promoted to governor of Liaozhou, and he was targeted several times, all thanks to Du Ruhui's help.

If I was not in Chang'an City before, I had no way to thank the other party. Now that I have moved to Chang'an City, I have to thank him well.

"Huh? Oh, this way please."

Du Miaoyan was immediately disappointed.

But still calm, immediately guided Fang Yuan to the living room.

Du He looked at Fang Yuan in surprise, and then at his sister.

Originally, he was wary that Fang Yuan came to show his relationship with his sister, but he didn't feel better when he heard that it was not the case, instead he felt worthless for his sister.

My sister ran to Liaozhou City many times for Fang Yuan, couldn't Fang Yuan see it?

Du He was dissatisfied, but Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan had already walked ahead, after thinking about it, they still didn't say much.

Soon, Fang Yuan and the others arrived at the living room, and saw Du Ruhui and his family.

"Junior Fang Yuan, pay respects to Du Xiang!"

Fang Yuan saluted solemnly.

"Since you call yourself a junior, call me Uncle Du."

Du Ruhui laughed.

Get up to greet Fang Yuan, and invite Fang Yuan to sit down.

He has always been very satisfied with Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan is even more satisfied with him calling himself a junior.

Chang'an Ling, who was promoted to the fifth rank at a young age, may not be unable to reach his own height in the future.

Letting his daughter Du Miaoyan contact Fang Yuan is really a wise choice, the Du family is not afraid of decline after he leaves.

Naturally, what Du Ruhui was talking about was his own branch, not the entire Jingzhao Du family.

"Good Uncle Du."

"Uncle Du, I came here this time to thank you for helping me before."

"This is a small meaning. It is for the younger generation to honor the elders. Please accept it."

Fang Yuan didn't sit down immediately, pointed to the gift behind him and said.

They are all precious gifts, and there are some specialty products, etc., which are very thoughtful.

"Have a heart."

Du Ruhui said with a smile.

He didn't refuse, but accepted the gift frankly.

In his opinion, Fang Yuan's gift giving is considered to be of a high level.

It is not a big problem to accept it from the younger generation to the elders, not from the subordinates to the superiors.

And the most important point is that he regards Fang Yuan as his son-in-law.

The son-in-law gave a gift to the father-in-law, no matter how precious the gift was, no one dared to say anything.

"This time, I want to talk to Uncle Du."

Fang Yuan sat down, his expression still serious.

"But it doesn't matter."

Du Ruhui asked curiously.

It seems that Fang Yuan came today not only because of thanking himself.

Could it be that it was because of his daughter Du Miaoyan that he came looking for him?

"Before I came, the Crown Prince and the Third Prince each gave me a precious gift."

"Before today, the crown prince and the third prince also arranged for officials to take up posts in Liaozhou, and they offered me solicitation."

Fang Yuan said solemnly.

He doesn't have many connections in Chang'an City.

Of all the people, Du Ruhui's relationship was naturally the last.

Fang Yuan wanted to hear Du Ruhui's opinion, and wanted to know the extent of the relationship between the crown prince and the third prince.

"The crown prince and the third prince."

"Fang Yuan, although the crown prince and the third prince are not very old, their intelligence is similar to that of His Majesty when he was young. The two are destined to compete for the throne."

"I suggest you don't choose. If you have to choose, you'd better be more cautious. As for who to choose, I hope you can tell me before you choose."

Du Ruhui's expression also became serious.

Although the prince is a prince, but because of His Majesty's bad start, the status of a prince cannot prevent other princes from fighting for the emperor.

And the third prince is a dragon and a phoenix among the people, and there are many ministers in the court who support him. In the end, it is uncertain who will win.

The most important thing is that His Majesty is still in his prime, so it is really hard to say who will win in the end between the two princes.

"I understand."

Fang Yuan looked dignified and said solemnly.

He got what he wanted from Du Ruhui's words.

The dispute between the crown prince and the third prince is fierce, and the emperor may not be able to stop it.

Moreover, the two of them may die in the end, and the prince does not have any advantage.

Naturally, according to historical records, neither Prince Li Chengqian nor Third Prince Li Ke won the throne.

Fang Yuan mainly wanted to learn from Du Ruhui about the struggle for imperial power and the degree of competition among princes, and whether Du Ruhui stood in line.

"As long as you know."

"Aside from thanking and asking questions about the prince, do you have anything else to do when you come this time?"

Du Ruhui nodded heavily.

Then he looked at Fang Yuan expectantly.

He felt that his time was short and he was worried about Du Miaoyan.

If Fang Yuan came this time because of Du Miaoyan's matter, it would be even better.

"other things?"

Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment.

He looked at Du Ruhui, and thought to himself that he was trying to drive him away, right?

Otherwise, I would not take the initiative to ask myself if there is anything else.

Du Miaoyan watched from the side, her eyes dimmed a bit, feeling a little sad.

He thought that Fang Yuan came to see his father because of himself, but it seems that he was thinking too much.

"That is, do you like my sister, do you want to develop with my sister?"

"Fang Yuan, don't tell me you are not interested in my sister, my sister often goes to Liaozhou for you!"

Du He couldn't bear it anymore, and said in a deep voice.

He was still drunk, staring at Fang Yuan with bad eyes.

Several members of the Du family looked at Fang Yuan, waiting for Fang Yuan's meaning.

Du Miaoyan knew what happened to Fang Yuan and they knew it in their hearts.

If Fang Yuan is not interested, they immediately drive Fang Yuan out of Duke Cai's mansion.
