Chapter 40: Be Honest
Facing Zhu Houzhao's slightly unhappy expression, Fang Jifan calmly took a bag, and then placed the bag on the desk in front of Zhu Houzhao.
It slowly opened and saw chess pieces falling out.
"What is this?" Zhu Houzhao's aura came and went quickly. At this time, he curiously pinched a chess piece. After a closer look, he saw the three words "Grandmaster" written on it.
Fang Jifan said with confidence: "This is military chess, well, the troops are arranged, and then use chess pieces to catch and fight on this chessboard. Look, Your Highness, here are the governors, generals, guerrillas, deputy generals, thousands of households, hundreds of households, generals, small flags and soldiers. By the way, there are bombs here... Come, I'll teach Your Highness to play chess."
Fang Jifan knew that Zhu Houzhao in history had given himself the position of Grand Commander after ascending the throne. This was due to his love for military affairs. When he heard that it was a chessboard, how could he not be interested in it?
Fang Jifan did make military chess, but he just replaced the commander with the governor, squad leader, company commander, platoon leader, battalion commander and small flag, general flag, hundreds of households, and thousands of households. The military flag is simple in its laws and is very suitable for a simple-minded guy like Zhu Houzhao, who simulates the deployment of troops.
Fang Jifan roughly explained the rules, and Zhu Houzhao nodded as if a chicken pecked at the rice, then lay on the desk and said, "Come on, I am familiar with military books. Now I will give you some color."
So Fang Jifan and him started playing chess. Zhu Houzhao really forgot about riding a horse, but his interest in military chess became increasingly stronger.
It was dark until it was dark, and at noon, I just sent someone a little refreshment to eat. The more I went down, the more I felt it felt more and more delicious, especially although he was beaten by Fang Jifan throughout the whole process, which made him rack his brains and use his unwillingness to admit defeat. In a daze, the sun outside the hall fell, and Liu Jin held the lamp in the hall.
In this game, Fang Jifan won again. Fang Jifan pushed the chess piece and showed a bit of fatigue: "Your Highness, it's not too early, I'm going to pay the price."
There is no overtime pay, so of course you have to leave the value.
Zhu Houzhao said, "If it doesn't work, it won't work. In the next game, I thought of a way, come on."
Fang Jifan was so arrogant that he couldn't keep playing this chess, so he refused to let him die and said, "Let me say goodbye tomorrow, Your Highness, say goodbye."
There must be a bottom line in this kind of thing, otherwise, according to Zhu Houzhao's temperament, I am afraid that I will never leave today.
By the morning of the next morning, Fang Jifan was in great spirits and arrived at the East Palace again. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the Zhan Shi Mansion, an eunuch was looking forward to it: "Master Fang Qi, you are here. Your Highness is so anxious. Hurry up, hurry..."
Fang Jifan followed him in and arrived at the side hall. When he saw Zhu Houzhao scolding Liu Jin, he said, "If you can't get out, get out!"
In front of him and Liu Jin, the same military chess set as yesterday. Liu Jin retreated aside with aggrievedly. Zhu Houzhao waved to Fang Jifan with a smile: "Come on, hurry, hurry, I finally thought of a way to deal with it!"
Liu Jin carefully reminded him: "Your Highness, it's not too early, it's time to go to Zuo Chunfang to study, otherwise Yang Shiju..."
Zhu Houzhao said impatiently: "If you don't go, don't go. I'll say that I'm sick."
Fang Jifan shook his head in his heart, this guy is very unreliable, why do you feel like you are cheating on your own rhythm? Could it be that this young master will accompany you to play chess all day long?
What's more, in front of you is the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Our Fang family's long-term meal tickets were given by your Zhu family. Your Zhu family was cheated by your Zhu Houzhao, and our Fang family is finished.
This is called prosperity and prosperity, and loss and loss.
In any case, it cannot continue to be so corrupt. Fang Jifan has a clear understanding of this.
Fang Jifan narrowed his eyes, not knowing what he was planning: "Forget it, I can't finish it."
"..." Zhu Houzhao looked at Fang Jifan in surprise.
"I won't play chess in the future." Fang Jifan refused decisively: "I have to be on duty if I am humble."
Zhu Houzhao was anxious: "What does this mean? Are you not loyal?"
Fang Jifan thought to himself that the whole world regards our Fang Jifan as a prodigal son, but our Fang Jifan is a good young man with ambition. Do you really think I am the same as you?
In a moment, Fang Jifan seemed to have an idea, and thought to himself, and said, "Your Highness, how about we play a game?"
"Game?" Zhu Houzhao suddenly became energetic. Zhu Houzhao was interested in any game.
Fang Jifan said, "What's the point of playing chess alone? There should be a lottery. If the humble person loses and loses a game, he will give His Highness three hundred taels of silver. How about it?"
"Okay." Zhu Houzhao responded very directly, and even his eyes lit up. Yes, it is better to have a lottery for playing chess: "A word is certain. If I lose, I will give you three hundred taels of silver."
Fang Jifan looked up at the sky with a little arrogant attitude: "Your Highness, am I a person who is short of 300 taels of silver?"
Zhu Houzhao scratched her head and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "If I lose, I will..."
"Then study, lose a game, memorize an article." Fang Jifan said decisively.
Zhu Houzhao seemed a little unhappy when she got drunk.
Fang Jifan squinted his eyes and casually took out his killer weapon: "Do you dare not come?"
Zhu Houzhao immediately said angrily: "Who said he didn't dare?"
Obviously, Zhu Houzhao did not notice the successful look flashing in Fang Jifan's eyes!
Now, Fang Jifan gradually fell in love with the life on duty. He woke up early in the morning every day and rushed to the Zhan Shi Mansion. Sometimes Zhu Houzhao had to study in Zuochunfang, but he was always lazy and occasionally pretended to be sick. During the rest of the time, he almost hangs with Fang Jifan and plays chess and reads.
Zhu Houzhao is a child who wants to save face. Although this kind of person is a little rebellious, he is at least willing to accept the loss. As long as he loses the chess, he will obediently hold the book to read. Sometimes even Fang Jifan has to admit that the genes of the old Zhu family are actually quite good, and Zhu Houzhao has a very good memory. Zhu Houzhao is anxious to continue playing chess and win a game. He has an amazing memory. When he works hard, even Fang Jifan sighs that he is inferior to Fang Jifan.
…………
When he woke up early that morning, Fang Jifan was served by Xiao Xiangxiang and put on clothes. He was about to tease Xiao Xiangxiang for routine, but Deng Jian said, "Young Master, the master has given him the order, the young master will go to the duty later."
"Why?" Fang Jifan said angrily.
Deng Jian said: "Young Master, uncle... My uncle said, I saw you being honest recently and there seemed to be signs of illness. Don't worry, my master, just ask the doctors in the mansion to take their pulse and take their pulse."
Could it be that I am a little more normal, so I am suspicious?
Fang Jifan said angrily: "This young master is normal."
As he said that, he kicked Deng Jian directly in the butt. Who knew that the kick was too powerful, Deng Jian was directly overturning to the ground.
Fang Jifan's heart skipped a beat. He was really not meant to step forward and ask about Deng Jian's injury, but then he thought about it, but tried his best to hold it back, but laughed out loud on the excuse.
"A dog-like thing, so unbearable."
Deng Jian rolled on the ground, stood up quickly, and smiled apologized: "Yes, yes, the young master kicked it well, it's great. Young master..." He was tearful again.
Fang Jifan said impatiently: "So what's wrong?"
"Actually..." Deng Jian wiped his tears and said, "Actually, the villain has always known that the young master's brain disease has been cured. Even kicking the villain's butt is like this, not as unfamiliar as before. The villain is happy from the bottom of his heart."
“…”
Fang Jifan stared at Deng Jian for a long time, then slapped the bone and knocked Deng Jian on the head: "Mystery!"
As he said that, he pulled out his legs and left: "I'm going to do my duty, let the dog doctor get out."
But as soon as he arrived at the door, he almost ran into Fang Jinglong who was about to come in. Fang Jinglong hurriedly supported Fang Jifan: "My son, have you bumped into you? You have to be careful, but there are no bumps and bumps. Let's go slowly. Doctor Sun is coming, just take the pulse, haha... This is just a routine pulse."
Fang Jifan was stopped by him and felt helpless, so he went back to the room to sit down, looking careless: "What kind of pulse is taken? That doctor, I hate it when I see it!"
Fang Jinglong just smiled and nodded: "Yes, hate, hate, don't get angry, isn't this for your own good?"
Fang Jinglong remembered something at this time and said, "Son, I heard that a few days ago, you paid 500,000 taels of treasure money in your account. This is not a small amount, but a total of 50,000 taels of cash."
"Yes." Fang Jifan continued to play his prodigal role well and admitted it lightly.
Fang Jinglong rubbed his hands and said, "My son is old, it's time to spend some money. Besides, our family is big and big, that... that... how much do you have in your hands? What's the meaning of being a father is that you have so much money in your hands, afraid that you are not safe. When it comes to using the money, just go directly to the account. Why do you have to bring so much money with you?"
"It's been spent!" Fang Jifan looked at Fang Jinglong and spread his hands.
"It's spent?" Fang Jinglong widened his eyes: "Fifty thousand taels of silver will be gone?"
Fang Jifan said: "I'll do it. I gave His Royal Highness a little pocket money, which is 30,000 taels. I lost some more when playing chess with him, and... "
Fang Jinglong's body was a little shaking, and it felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar.
Finally, the Fang family had some financial resources, so he pointed to taking another silver and then buying some land, so he checked the family's accounts every day. Seeing that Fang Jifan had taken out such a large amount of silver, he still hoped to come back today. The 500,000 taels of treasure money was 500,000 taels of silver... Now, it was gone, and they were all sent out.
Fang Jinglong's burly body suddenly became weak and became weak. Two lines of clear tears fell down in a state of unyielding manner. His face showed a look of pain and said to his heart: "The prodigal family... This is a prodigal son... my father... the ancestors and ancestors... we Fang Jinglong... Fang Jinglong... I'm sorry for you... my god..."
