Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 804 Birthday Ceremony

   The matter of Franji is considered to be an agreement.

  Since His Majesty asked Fang Jifan to deal with it, Fang Jifan seemed to have a hundred ways in his mind.

  In this world, there will always be a kind of person who walks with heavy burdens, and that's right, Fang Jifan.

  Fang Jifan received the order and left immediately.

  Liu Jian and others also left one after another.

  Seeing outside, Xiao Jingde pulled his head and knelt in the cold wind, as if he was listening to His Majesty Hou's further judgment.

  Fang Jifan walked over with his hands behind his back, and when Fang Jifan passed by, he suddenly yelled: "Oh my goodness."

   Such a call.

  Xiao Jing was taken aback, he was uneasy, suddenly being bluffed like this, it is conceivable that his whole body almost arched, and he turned around with a miserable expression.

  Fang Jifan only turned his back to him, and then cleared his throat: "Today's weather is fine, so I really want to hang my throat and play "The Case of the Beauty"."

  Xiao Jing's face was miserable, he was about to sweat profusely like soybeans, but he breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly realized that this Fang Jifan, you have to be careful, you really need to be vigilant and fearful in the future.

Fang Jifan, on the other hand, took square steps and sang triumphantly: "My son-in-law, take a closer look... It was written on the front that Qin Xianglian was thirty-two years old, and she sued the current son-in-law for deceiving the king... Your Majesty, a man who repents of his marriage has moved to another bed, He killed his wife and son with a broken conscience!"

   This word fits the occasion very well.

  My son-in-law...

Ok?

   Not quite right.

  This son-in-law is a son-in-law for the country and the people, how can he be compared with that scumbag Chen Shimei?

  This "The Case of Gui Mei" is unlucky. I don't like Peking Opera anymore. Huangmei Opera is better, or tea-picking opera.

   But Liu Jian and others followed Fang Jifan, their eyes widened.

  This song, listening to it... has a very comfortable feeling, especially the words, which are even more comfortable.

  Liu Jian and Li Dongyang on the side looked at each other.

  Li Dongyang loves to listen to operas. When Fang Jifan sang triumphantly just now, he was surprisingly serious. Although he only sang a few lines, he suddenly had a feeling of resonance with it.

   "Fang Duwei, stay here."

   Li Dongyang said with a smile.

  Behind him, Liu Jian and the others also smiled slightly, as if they were watching.

  Fang Jifan stopped and turned around: "Mr. Li, how are you?"

  Looking at Fang Jifan's pure smile, Li Dongyang sighed in his heart, but cheered up: "But I don't know, what song was sung by Fang Duwei just now?"

  Fang Jifan suddenly understood something.

  Just now I sang the Peking Opera Guillotine Beauty Case.

   This is almost the most classic piece of Peking Opera.

   And what I sang was the climax of the episode. It didn't take long for Chen Shimei to be beheaded.

  Fang Jifan refused to speak, his face was a little red.

   "This, this...singing casually." Fang Jifan said.

Li Dongyang shook his head: "When you listen to this song, it is both bright and dignified, but it also has a sense of sadness and indignation, which is very rare. There is also this word, which is easy to understand. You must know the way of opera. It’s absolutely impossible to keep it secret, so that it can move people’s hearts when you listen to it. Fang Duwei just sang that, that... the son-in-law is deceiving the king, who is he despising?"

   "Nonsense." Fang Jifan said righteously: "This is the case of the beauty, not the son-in-law of this dynasty, but the story of Bao Zheng."

   "Bao Zheng is the son-in-law?" Li Dongyang's eyes lit up.

  Liu Jian and others also joined together.

The story of the case of guillotine beauty was written in the Ming Dynasty, that is to say, it has already begun to spread. After that, it was combined with Bao Zheng's sequel novel Sanxia Wuyi and so on, and finally derived "The Case of Guimei Beauty" opera.

   This "The Case of Gui Mei" is almost the pinnacle of Chinese opera. Peking opera itself has integrated the world's operas, and finally became a big success. After two or three hundred years, it became popular all over the world.

   Plus this household story.

  Especially at the moment, Liu Jian and others like to listen to the plot of the son-in-law.

  It sounds very exciting, and I feel a lot more comfortable.

   "This song is from "Baogongan Baijiagongan". It's really good. When I saw the part about the son-in-law, I also applauded it. Although this book is a story about the world, it also has its merits."

   "Yes, yes, why don't Captain Fang sing another song?"

   "Fang Duwei, don't be modest, I'll be all ears."

   "..." Fang Jifan blushed, you guys really like "The Case of the Beauty", it must be our son-in-law who wants to kill you.

  But...Fang Jifan had a thought, this Beijing opera...

  Fang Jifan said with a smile: "I sang it casually, but now I forgot, what Bao Zheng, what Chen Shimei, I don't know them, but since you know them, let me listen to them."

   Li Dongyang is very sorry.

   But he stared at Fang Jifan: "Fang Duwei, that song just now, if you have such a genius, don't waste it."

  Fang Jifan let out an oh.

  He seemed to see Li Dongyang's moving face, so he chuckled: "I need to go to Daming Palace to see, see you later."

  He turned to leave and slipped away.

  Liu Jian stroked his beard and shook his head, looking helpless.

  Li Dongyang was thoughtful, as if he was still recalling the tune, the singing, and the subconscious movement of his lips.

Xie Qian sighed and said: "This boy, in order to curry favor with His Majesty, he has spent his real money. I heard that there are urgent transfers of money everywhere in Xishan. Boxes of this white money are going out of the city. Send. The tens of thousands of people recruited, eat, drink, and scatter, all are silver, and they search for rare treasures everywhere. Judging by the situation, he really wants to build a separate palace no less than the Forbidden City."

  Li Dongyang laughed: "If his father knew, he would be so angry."

  In any case, although Fang Jifan and the prince took away the emperor's grandson, they were troubled, but at least there was one more thing that made them feel better, such as this guy... I heard that he was about to go bankrupt.

  The amount of money spent on a palace of such a huge scale is astronomical.

Liu Jian coughed: "Okay, okay, don't look at people as jokes, I'm not a good guy in the market, other people's life is miserable, it's unlucky, I'm a majestic prime minister, and I'm relied on by His Majesty, how can it be a joke? People...cough cough...don't laugh, don't laugh, Fang Duwei is unlucky, should we laugh? Aside from being messy sometimes, isn't he also very good at other times?"

   As he spoke, Liu Jian suppressed his face and wanted to spit out his breath, but he tried his best to hold back.

  Li Dongyang and Xie Qian couldn't help laughing.

  Finally, Liu Jian clutched his heart, laughed suddenly, out of breath: "Hey, I teach you not to laugh, what's so funny... Haha... Okay... Stop here... Haha..."

  Li Dongyang and Xie Qian couldn't hold back any longer. If they stopped laughing, they would really hurt their internal organs, so they burst out laughing.

  ...

   It's the end of the year.

  The weather is getting colder and colder.

   The first phase of the Daming Palace is considered complete.

  Near the capital, there is a flat plain. Except for some mountains in the north and northwest, most of them are plains that can be seen at a glance.

  The first phase of the project cost a lot of money. In order to speed up the construction period, almost tens of thousands of craftsmen worked together.

   Among them, the problem involved is the problem of coordination. In the past, it was done step by step, but now, all projects are going hand in hand.

  Of course, the most important contribution is the use of concrete, which greatly shortens the construction period.

   But what really matters is silver.

  Fang Jifan almost spared no expense, money...he has it, and it is a steady stream. In order to build this Daming Palace, the Fang family almost took out all their own family assets.

  The craftsmen began to become more and more skilled.

Even the designers have begun to be better at drawing graphics. They have even begun to learn to standardize the numbers on the plane and elevation drawings. The foremen holding the drawings can understand what to do next just by looking at the drawings. Here What size is it, what size is there.

  All the masonry and concrete are ready-made, and the flowers and stones quarried from the nearby mountains are all coordinated. The masons turn countless natural stones into various flowers and stones, and the asphalt-paved concrete roads criss-cross.

  The precious trees and flowers transplanted one by one, although they are bare in this cold winter, the embryonic form of the garden has been revealed.

  The trails paved with anti-corrosion wood, and scattered pavilions and pavilions, the decoration inside has begun to be decorated internally.

  With the help of Franji, a huge bell tower will stand in the Daming Palace.

  In addition to this, a large number of rare treasures began to be shipped in. There were both exotic objects and current rare treasures. Fang Jifan was heartbroken for this.

  Seeing that most of the Miyagi in the first phase is coming to an end, on the one hand, it is preparing for the second phase of Miyagi, and on the other hand, it is continuing to refine the first phase of Miyagi.

  Fang Jifan rode his horse and returned to Xishan. These days, it has been snowing for several days. The snow is as thick as heels.

As soon as he entered the Zhenguo Mansion, a stream of anthracite heating came rushing towards his face. Liu Jin was standing at the door, and when he saw the godfather coming, he took off Fang Jifan's coir raincoat that was still covered with snow, and said, "Master, His Royal Highness is inside."

  Fang Jifan nodded and raised his foot to go in.

  Seeing Zhu Houzhao frowning.

  Fang Jifan stepped forward and said with a smile: "What is His Royal Highness doing here?"

  Zhu Houzhao said: "Great-grandmother's health is not right again, I went to check on her, but she caught a cold again."

  Fang Jifan sighed in his heart, at Zhou's age, to be honest, he had already passed the time of knowing his destiny, and now, he was completely supported by the surprise care of the harem. Every year, for her, it was a hell.

  Zhu Houzhao said: "She is not feeling well, and she doesn't think about eating and drinking, and her birthday is coming, so I have to coax her to be happy."

  Fang Jifan smiled and said: "This... is easy to do, isn't it just a birthday gift? I built a new palace. Although I have gone bankrupt and my family is empty, it is still easy to buy a birthday gift."

  Zhu Houzhao shook his head: "Great-grandmother is at this age, no matter how rare a treasure she has never seen before, she would hardly like any birthday present."

  Fang Jifan nodded, expressing his understanding. After thinking for a long time: "Does he like beef?"

   "..."
