Chapter 35 Build a Zhuangzi from today [two in one](1/2)

As the sun rises, the city of Chang'an continues to be noisy, with vendors everywhere wandering the streets and caravans from all over the place wandering around.

In the Duke Yi's mansion, birds were falling on the autumn trees, and their chirping sounds were annoying.

"Why aren't you here yet?"

After getting up early, Fang Chen sat under the tree in the courtyard, waiting for today's meeting. You know, this may be the best opportunity to borrow money!

The founding son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty, and the position of Duke of the country, can definitely be regarded as a stable backer.

However, thinking of his mother, Fang Chen began to hesitate again, "Wouldn't it be good to speak directly?"

As for recognizing his father, Fang Chen had not considered it at all. He even said that the nutrition money he wanted was basically borrowed!

He had to repay the money and the favor. Since Chai Shao was willing to condescend to see him, Qin Qiong had taken care of him for such a long time.

Fang Chen is not a ungrateful person, but in many ways, the mentality of an adult makes him unwilling to owe others. This is why he was extremely resistant when he found out that Qin Qiong took good care of him.

Money is easy to borrow, but favors are hard to return.

As for Chai Shao, he owed his mother, so whether it was Chai Shao or his two sons, Ping Yang, Fang Chen would never hesitate to ask for help from now on whenever there was a need.

"Sir, please go to the main hall."

Mrs. Liu reported outside the house, but why didn't she go in? Fang Chen also wanted to be ashamed. He was not used to showing his "petite" body to others every day.

"knew."

Fang Chen replied, rearranged the extremely complicated Tang suit, and strode out.

What was supposed to come would eventually come, and he also wanted to know what Chai Shao thought of him.

Walking to the main hall, there were two big men sitting in the hall, one was the bad old man Qin Qiong, and the other was a bit unfamiliar. Judging from the clothes and clothes, he was also a high-ranking official.

"Fang Chen, I have met Duke Yi!"

When entering the hall, you must first pay homage to the host. Unless the other person is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, this rule still applies.

"Here, let me introduce you. This is Duke Huo, husband-in-law of Princess Pingyang, Chai Shao!"

Fang Chen turned around and bowed slightly to Chai Shao, "Fang Chen, I have met Duke Huo!"

Chai Shao stood up quickly, "You don't have to be polite, you and I have a certain relationship."

Fang Chen nodded. Sure enough, Chai Shao was really his cheap "father"... Unfortunately, he didn't know that Chai Shao was not talking about this relationship, but another level. He should call Chai Shao his uncle...

....

Sitting down somewhere, Fang Chen asked: "Dong Huo, I wonder if Duke Yi told you what I said?"

Chai Shao nodded, "Shu Bao has already told me, don't worry, I have sent people to prepare it for you."

Fang Chen nodded, and then said: "I wonder where Huo Guogong plans to place me?"

Chai Shao's face froze, and he glanced at Qin Qiong from the corner of his eye, hoping that he would give a hint. Now he was a little confused about what this man meant.

Qin Qiong suppressed a laugh and coughed lightly, then said, "Fang Chen, there are several fiefdoms in Chang'an County, you can choose from them."

"Around Chang'an County?"

Fang Chen scratched his head, no, Chai Shao dared to place himself near Chang'an? Aren't you worried about being discovered by others as the son of a princess who suddenly appeared?

Chai Shao nodded repeatedly, "Yes, there are six fiefdoms granted by His Majesty. The large ones are thousands of acres, and the small ones are hundreds of acres. I wonder what your intention is?"

Fang Chen's face was a little distorted. After all, whoever saw Chai Shao's old dog-licking face would wonder if he was a fake?

Fortunately, Qin Qiong coughed again, and Chai Shao realized that his expression was wrong and quickly became serious.

"It's up to you. Don't worry, I will never publicize our relationship everywhere."

Fang Chen watched Chai Shao return to normal, thinking that this guy was afraid of the princess, and he was also afraid that he had publicized it in the first place. If he said that he was the princess's illegitimate son, he was afraid that Chai Shao's old face would be completely embarrassed.

Qin Qiong's face also looked a little weird. As expected, the brat guessed some random things again, and thought he was the illegitimate son of Princess Pingyang?

"Um... Fang Chen, besides the land, what else do you lack?"

Seeing that after Fang Chen knew that he had a place to stay, he just walked in his place without saying a word, Qin Qiong finally had no choice but to secretly remind him to ask for more things.

Fang Chen raised his eyebrows, "There is no shortage. Now that we have land, there is no need to bother the two princes with the rest. I just wonder where are the refugees who came to Beijing with me?"

"Refugees? What are you doing with them?"

Fang Chen rolled his eyes, "If I don't find them, who will farm my land? Who will build my house?"

Chai Shao smiled bitterly and said: "Don't worry, there are tenants in the fiefdom allocated to you. If it's not enough, you can come to me at any time. I've also equipped you with a guard team of 300 people. One thousand guan of silver is enough for you."

no?"

Fang Chen was startled, "What do I need from so many people? There is also a thousand strings! If I spend them all, when can I pay you back?"

The purchasing power of this thousand gu is equivalent to tens of millions in future generations. After all, a house only costs a few hundred dollars.

Qin Qiong and Chai Shao frowned because they heard the word "repay"! Together, this man, are you still thinking about paying back the money?

That's not possible. If Your Majesty and the Empress find out, you will think that they forced you to do so. No! This is absolutely not allowed!

Chai Shao waved his hands repeatedly, "No need, you don't need to pay back this money."

Fang Chen was a little stunned, why is this a little weird? He looked at the two of them with suspicion, are you all real nobles of the Tang Dynasty?

It’s strange. Were all the good people in the Tang Dynasty bad?

Could it be that my previous guess was wrong? Apart from being husband and wife, Chai Shao and Princess Pingyang also have a superior-subordinate relationship? Otherwise, if you look at Chai Shao, he probably treats himself better than his biological son.

Seeing that something was wrong, Qin Qiong hurriedly interjected: "That's the princess' money, and it should be yours."

After receiving the signal from Qin Qiong, Chai Shao immediately understood and echoed: "In addition, there are some old people who followed the princess before. You can accept them together without worrying about their loyalty."

Fang Chen shook his head, "The things left by my mother will naturally be given to my two brothers. I am just an adopted son. How can I snatch things from my brothers? Mr. Huo Guo, I appreciate your kindness. To me, Chang'an

It’s just a way station on the journey.”

After that, he walked forward, picked a land deed at random, and left.

Chai Shao cried silently, "Shu Bao, if you say we are like this, will His Majesty agree?"

Qin Qiong touched her forehead worriedly, "I don't know, I'm a little worried too!"

This Fang Chen is also a weird person. Judging from his behavior after entering the Qin Mansion, he doesn't look like a child at all.

Qin Qiong used to think that he was just naughty, but after yesterday's incident, Qin Qiong immediately changed his mind and realized that this so-called naughtiness was just an excuse to throw him out of the house.

It’s all pretend!

Little did they know that Fang Chen, who returned to his room, was holding the land deed with trembling hands.

"A thousand acres! God, how much does it cost?"

When he thought that he was about to become a landlord, Fang Chen felt a little absent-minded. No, he couldn't be corrupted by this beautiful life. Datang was not the place where he should stay, and he must not miss it when he left.

"Ms. Liu! Take Qiao'er, let's go!"

After shouting, Fang Chen decided to move to his own field today.

Fang Chen didn't consider one thing, and that was the fiefdom around Chang'an City, especially the terrifying amount that Chai Shao could get if he wanted to get it? Especially the terrifying amount of a thousand acres or as many as five or six thousand acres.

You know, most of the prince's fiefdoms are far away from Chang'an!

Mrs. Liu excitedly ran back to the room, picked up her little girl, and carried Fang Chen's backpack.

Fang Chen slapped his forehead and saw that my gun was still in Qin Qiong's hand!

Looking at the big bag behind Mrs. Liu, Fang Chen hesitated for a moment, then smiled lightly, "Forget it, just treat it as accommodation fee. Anyway, without bullets, he won't be able to play for too long."

When he left the house, more than thirty guards gathered behind him.

"As the Duke of the country, I escort Mr. Fang to the fiefdom."

Fang Chen couldn't refuse, so he could only ask the leader, "What do you call eldest brother?"

"You should not call me Mr. Fang. My subordinates have the same surname as the Duke. Mr. Fang can just call me Lao Qin."

"Old Qin? Duke Yi's family soldiers?"

Lao Qin nodded and stepped aside, not talking nonsense.

Outside the gate of the mansion, Mrs. Qin hugged Qin Huaidao and sent Fang Chen off with Qin Huaiyu.

"Aunt, why did you come out?"

Mrs. Qin asked Yun'er to hand Mrs. Liu a package and said with a smile: "Inside is the silver I prepared for you. If you have any questions in the future, you can come to me at any time."

Qin Huaiyu also brought out what he had prepared, "Fang Chen, this is a horse I prepared for you. Both parents are thousand-mile horses. It is only eight months old now. You will be able to use it when you grow older."

Fang Chen looked at the white horse Qin Huaiyu was holding, and it looked very familiar.

"Isn't this the offspring of Old Man Chao's horse chasing the wind? Why did you bring it here?"

Touched in his heart and with tears in his eyes, Fang Chen held it back, thanked Mrs. Qin, and then patted Qin Huaiyu on the back, "When you have time, come and play with me. Whatever you want, I will get it for you!"

Datang is so good!

The people are nice! The friendship is even better!

I thought that with a piece of business and his own gun, Fang Chen would not owe Qin Qiong and Duke Zhu Yi's mansion, but now it seems that his thinking was too simple.
To be continued...
