Thinking of this comment that once made the Fang clan's people's hearts surge, Fang Xu had a feeling in the electric light and flint that this was indeed the case.
No wonder, Mr.
Fang did not force this head of the family to join the officialdom.
No wonder, the head of the Fang family has not yet married, even though he has reached his prime.
No wonder, although the Jiangnan nobles value the head of the Fang family very much, they have no intention of getting married. , no wonder, at this time, he would make such a decision Thinking of the meaning behind the words Chang Li asked, Fang Xu sweated nervously.
He struggled for a while, and finally said, "Isn't this not in line with the rules?"
His tone was full of struggle, and his voice was hoarse because he knew what this decision meant to his younger brother.
There is a world of difference between an inconspicuous child of a side branch of the Fang family and someone who was personally brought up by the head of the Fang family.
He even wanted to agree directly, but he always felt that something was wrong.
After all, the Fang family was a century-old prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River.
There were more than a few distinguished people in the family.
If the clan leader had to choose, he did not necessarily have to choose his younger brother.
You know, it is definitely better to choose a child who is not yet aware of things than a child who is already aware of things.
While Fang Xu was thinking about it a thousand times, Chang Li asked directly: "What are the rules?
I have the final say on Fang's rules."
This sentence was too overbearing, but when it came from Chang Li's mouth, it felt natural. feeling.
He said directly: "You just need to tell me whether your two brothers are willing or not."
The decision was made in one word.
This decisive tone directly put Fang Xu in trouble.
After thinking for a long time, he still said: "I still need to ask Xiaochen first."
By the end of his words, his voice had become very hoarse because he was not sure whether such evasive words would be regarded as perfunctory by the head of the Fang family.
It stands to reason that when he encounters such a good thing, he must nod and agree, but for some reason, he just can't make up his mind.
Various pros and cons are going back and forth in his mind, making it impossible for him to really sit down and make a decision, so he can only Say procrastination words.
Hearing his words, Chang Li didn't get angry at all.
He nodded directly, then waved his hand to let Fang Xu leave.
Fang Xu left respectfully.
When he left the small bamboo forest, he breathed a heartfelt sigh of relief.
Why should he think so far into the future when he hadn't even mentioned his birth date yet?
The eldest son only said that he could send Fang Chen to his master's house.
This does not mean that the eldest son wants to adopt Fang Chen into his direct branch.
Maybe this is just the eldest son's sudden kindness.
On the other side, Chang Li put down the tea cup in his hand casually, his wide sleeves attached to the stone table, but not stained with any dirt.
He said in a cold voice: "Have you heard enough?"
A rustling sound came from the bamboo forest nearby.
This was the sound of embroidered shoes stepping on dead branches and leaves, and the owner of the embroidered shoes was a young woman.
Here comes Fang Xiu, wearing a smoky green Luo Shang and wearing a jade cicada drop dew hairpin, looking fresh and elegant.
She stepped on the dead branches and leaves in the bamboo forest and walked to Changli.
Next to her, there was the old housekeeper of Fang Mansion accompanying her.
Judging from the accumulation of fallen leaves at their feet, they had been holding them in place for a while.
Chang Li looked at these two people who were somewhat similar, with an indifferent expression that bothered me, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.
Fang Xiu walked in such a hurry that she kept making squeaking sounds along the way.
She asked in a sharp tone: "Brother, what do you mean?
Do you plan to adopt a side branch?
Even though you don't have any children yet, But you You have not yet reached the age of crown, why should you rush into this matter?
If you do this, in addition to causing the side branches of the Fang family to have second thoughts, it will also cause the direct branch to fall by the side.

How can you be worthy of your grandfather and our ancestors by acting like this?
" Her expression was both anxious and dissatisfied, because this affected the interests of the direct branch and her own status.
But after hearing her long string of words, Changli just chewed the word "we" with a little playfulness.
Then he raised his head and said in a gentle and gentle tone: "When will you be worthy enough to say it?"
We are two names, you have already been married, it is not as good as the Fang family genealogy, why do you call yourself a direct descendant of the Fang family?
The leader of the Fang family is me, and I am the only direct descendant.
I have the final say what the direct descendants want."
The further he spoke, the softer his tone became, but Fang Xiu's face turned paler after hearing his words.
She took two steps back with a trembling face, muttering in her mouth, not knowing what to say.
But Changli didn't give her a chance to defend herself.
He looked directly at the old housekeeper beside him, his expression suddenly turned cold: "Who let her enter the Fang Mansion?"
The old housekeeper quickly bowed and replied: "The master of the house is an old man."
There was a slight tremor in his hoarse and dry voice.
He is already old, so old that it is very difficult for him to bow and salute, so much so that he is trembling now even when he replies.
But Changli didn't understand his difficulties.
He said coldly: "I once said that Fang Xiu is not allowed to step into Fang Mansion without my permission."
His cold eyes fell on the old housekeeper.
His old body became more and more stooped, and the atmosphere in the bamboo forest fell into stasis for a while.
The chilly wind blew through the bamboo forest, and the whooshing sound sounded from time to time.
The tense atmosphere was about to explode, just like boiling hot soup, bubbles bubbled up.
The next moment, a sharp female voice sounded: "Brother, are you going to drive me out of the Fang family?"
Fang Xiu looked at Changli in disbelief, not believing that he could say such a thing.
Chang Li looked at her as if he was looking at an emotionless object: "You are still using me to drive you away.
Why didn't you risk your life to get married?
Why do you say that I am driving you away at this time?"
His voice was still very calm, but there was a hint of emotion in his tone.
But with a hint of unspeakable irony.
Fang Xiu came to Fang's house to say goodbye to Chang Li.
He Yi wrote a letter asking him to go to Beijing to reunite with him.
She came here just to tell Chang Li.
Of course, there are other meanings.
The He family has no roots in Beijing, and her dowry does not include a house in the capital, and He Yi's long stay in an inn is not the same thing.
She plans to ask Chang Li to see if he can Even if he comes out of a house, his brother never goes to the capital anyway, so the house there is idle.
Unexpectedly, she heard what Chang Li and Fang Xu said not long after entering the mansion, and then she was hit hard again.
She was so angry that she almost shed tears, but seeing Changli's indifferent expression, she could only leave angrily.
Looking at the light figure that resembled a leaf-dwelling butterfly, Chang Li laughed softly.
There was a lingering irony in the laughter.
When the housekeeper, who had been hunched over, heard these words, his rickety body trembled again and then bent even lower
