Rebirth of the Tang Dynasty's strongest consort

Chapter 436 The Enthusiasm of Literati Talents
Fang Yiai packed her bags and saw that Bai Jian and Xie Yaohuan had gone to the government office but did not return, so she immediately called Fan Jin and began a lengthy exhortation.

Since the battle of wits with Mei Zhusheng in Meiwu County, Fang Yiai's temperament has become more and more stable, and it is precisely because of this change that he has seen Xie Yaohuan's fatal weakness.

Xie Yaohuan has lived in the deep palace for a long time, although she has read the scriptures and classics thoroughly, she has only a half-knowledge about the ways of the officialdom, leaving her alone in Caozhou to deal with Cai Shaobing and the eldest grandson Anye, this Fang Tongju is somewhat worried.

"Although Yaohuan is talented and thoughtful, she has lived in the deep palace for a long time and has never set foot in the officialdom. She has more than enough conspiracy but not enough."

With a deep voice, Fang Yiai looked at Fan Jin who was sitting across from her, her eyes full of worry, "This time, I am going to Chang'an by order, and I don't know when I will be able to return to Caozhou. Please take care of Master Fan during this period. You have to be careful about things."

"Don't worry, Mr. Ming." Fan Jin cupped his hands respectfully and said, "Student will try his best to help Madam, but"

In the middle of speaking, Fan Jin suddenly paused, and looked at Fang Yi'ai with hesitation in his eyes, "It's just that Ming Gong needs to come back earlier."

In all fairness, Fan Jin was somewhat afraid of Cai Shaobing. This kind of fear was not out of his mind or the self-pity of the city government, but the official prestige displayed by Cai Shaobing, which made this old boy who had spent half his life feel quite afraid. Facing the cruel and ruthless officials, although there may not be much difference in intelligence, the acquired disposition cannot be changed, and it is Fan Jin's character that made him lose three points in the face of Cai Shaobing. Enraged.

Seeing Fan Jin's worry, Fang Yi gave a wry smile in his heart, and said without changing his face: "That's natural, but Master Fan doesn't have to worry too much, Cai Shaobing is just a magistrate, as long as you pay more attention to his movements on weekdays, this person There won't be too much misfortune."

Fan Jin nodded in response, although Fang Yiai said so, but he had never dealt with Xie Yaohuan, so he was somewhat worried about the ability of this female officer Xie.

"Students must do their best to help Madam."

"Okay, Mr. Fan, Fang Jun presents you a cup, and replaces the wine with tea to show his heart."

After a while, Bai Jian and Xie Yaohuan returned to the house, and saw that Fang Yiai and Qin Jingniang had put their affairs in order. Even though Xie Yaohuan had experienced strong winds and waves, he couldn't help but feel a little desolate at this time.

"Fang Lang. Are you leaving immediately?" Xie Yaohuan held the big seal and official uniform in his hands, and while looking forward with a pair of wonderful eyes, a layer of haze appeared unknowingly.

Seeing Xie Yaohuan's appearance like this, how could Fang Yiai not understand her intentions, but the imperial decree ordered people to leave immediately. Bai Jian sold favors last night, and it has been delayed all night. If she stops now, the date may be delayed. Misunderstood Tang Taizong's will.

"We are about to leave now. Huan'er must take good care of himself in Caozhou, and wait for the officials to come to pick you up and return to Beijing."

After finishing speaking, Fang Yiai ignored Fan Jin and Bai Jian's presence, hugged Xie Yao in her arms, and said softly: "As for checking the accounts, if you can do it, you can do it. If you can't do it, just wait for Fang Jun to come back. Don't talk to me I'm afraid that Cai Shaobing and eldest grandson Anye will face each other head-on. I'm afraid that my wife will suffer."

"Okay, I'm waiting for the officials to come back." Rao made up his mind last night and decided not to cry in front of Fang Yi'ai, but at this moment of parting, the love in Xie Yaohuan's heart had already overcome reason, and tears flowed from his almond eyes. The gurgling flow out immediately wet the single clothes Fang Yiai was wearing.

Seeing that the two of them were reluctant to leave, Fan Jin subconsciously turned around, while Qin Jingniang ran to the bedroom to "find" something.

After a while, seeing that Xie Yaohuan and Fang Yiai didn't want to stop, Bai Jian's expression darkened, and she began to sing his best song "Baby Face".

"Okay, okay." Bai Jian walked behind Fang Yi'ai, patted his brother's shoulder lightly a few times, and whispered: "What is this for? It's sad to see."

As soon as this remark came out, Fang Yiai smiled awkwardly, and Xie Yaohuan immediately got rid of her husband's arms, carrying the official uniform and official seal, and went to the bedroom to say goodbye to Qin Jingniang.

When everything was settled, Fang Yiai, Qin Jingniang, and Bai Jian walked out of the house one after another, boarded the fast horses that the messengers had already prepared, and prepared to go to Chang'an according to the order.

"Fang Lang take care all the way."

"Duke Ming, but don't worry, Fan Jin will do his best to help Madam."

"Master, remember to buy some sweet dates from Chang'an for Ba Duan."

Saying goodbye to several people one by one, Fang Yi'ai stared with tears in her eyes, whipped the horse, and slowly drove towards the Caozhou city.

Xie Yaohuan stood outside the door looking into the distance, and waited until Fang Yiai's figure completely disappeared from sight, and then reluctantly returned to the courtyard.

Back in the courtyard, Xie Yaohuan didn't stop for a moment, put on the prefect's official uniform, came to the door of the west wing with the big seal in her hand, and said softly to the room: "Fan Shiye, let me go to the government office with me. Yesterday Where are the accounts checked?"

The three of Fang Yiai lived and ate and slept in the open, and went to the posthouse to change horses every [-] miles. They arrived in Chang'an in only twelve days along the way.

Leading the horse into Chang'an City, Fang Yiai stood under the majestic city gate, took a few deep breaths, and shouted loudly in his heart: "Chang'an! Fang Jun is back!"

I stayed in Henan Road for more than a few months. When I left Beijing, Chang’an was still a scene of early spring, and when I came back, it was already scorching hot and the flowers were blooming.

Walking in the downtown area, the people of Chang'an bowed their hands to say hello one by one. During the period, many literati and scholars changed their usual calm demeanor when they saw Fang Yiai's return, and began to cheer loudly in restaurants, tea shops, and downtown.

"Kai Yuanlang is back!"

"The champion is back!"

"Our Chief He is finally back!"

Compared with the official titles of "Fang Tongpan", "Fang Youcheng", and "Fang Consort", students who call themselves literati still tend to call Fang Yiai by the nickname, after all, they were the same in ancient times before becoming officials. Son, after becoming an official, it's the same again. Different positions mean that the distance has begun to divide, and these literati who regard Fang Yiai as the leader and idol in their hearts will naturally not take the initiative to distance themselves from Fang Yiai. .

"Which number one is ours? Which one is yours?" Fang Yiai murmured in a low voice, but her heart was filled with joy, "Unexpectedly, the big guy still remembers Fang Jun. After all, it is the top of the civilian list that is so majestic." , Suppressing all the official titles of this official."

"He Bangtou, when did you come back? The student wrote a new poem, so please take a look at the top of the list?"

"At the top of the list, my younger brother is one of the 28 Scholars of Jinke. In the same year, my brother wanted to take care of Brother Nian in Wufeng Tower. I wonder if Brother Nian is free?"

Fang Yiai didn't expect this group of literati to be so enthusiastic, facing the invitation repeatedly bowed their hands and thanked each other, watching Bai Jian and Qin Jingniang beside them with smirks, secretly said:
"Look at the popularity of our brothers!"

"I didn't expect He Lang to have such a high reputation in Chang'an. Thinking about it, I'm He Lang's first wife. I'm so happy."

Just when Fang Yiai was overwhelmed, a man dressed in silk brocade suddenly stood in front of the horse, pulled Fang Yiai's palm, and said, "Brother Nian! I am the second son of the Imperial College, Brother Nian, can you return me?" Remember little brother?"

"This." Fang Yiai was stunned by this enthusiastic Chen Erer for a while, after thinking about it, she still couldn't remember such a student among the Guozijian's classmates.

"What, what? Chen's second child? What a bad name!" Bai Jian muttered impatiently.

The visitor didn't know Bai Jian, and when he saw the old man muttering non-stop, his face immediately sank, "What are you mumbling about, old man!"

With a straight face, Bai Jian said coldly, "Have you said enough?"

"not yet."

"It's enough for me to see you!" Bai Jian ruthlessly pushed this "Cheng Yaojin" aside, and then signaled Fang Yiai to move forward. Along the way, after hearing the news, she came to welcome "No. [-] in Commoner" There are no less than a hundred literati.

Among them are the sons of high-ranking officials like Du He and Yu Chengfeng, and Fang Yiai, who was harassed by everyone's enthusiasm, complained unbearably. In the end, if Bai Jian didn't stop her, Du He would have almost pulled Fang Yiai home to drink.

The three finally arrived at the Zhuangyuan Mansion, and Fang Yiai and Qin Jingniang couldn't help being shocked by what they saw.

"Is this my mansion? Why is it so grand."

"Wow! Zhuangyuan's mansion is twice as big as when it came out of Beijing!"

Bai Jian let out a smirk, and said triumphantly: "This is the Zhuangyuan mansion that Wansui personally ordered, the minister of the Ministry of Industry supervises the work, and our family supervises the expansion of the Zhuangyuan Mansion!"

"Thanks to the gift of Long Live, brother Bai loves you wrongly"

Fang Yiai had just halfway said some faltering flattery, when suddenly there was a ringing in her ears, like a silver bell, with a tone of surprise.

"Brother Juner!"
