Chapter 1101 Is the Emperor an easy person to meet?
That night when he returned home, Fang Ziyan was beaten.
Although Fang Hengyuan and Fang Wenxiu had subsided, Fang Ziyan still felt cheated and cried on the table: "Dad, you are untrustworthy, you go back on your word, you are treacherous, you are fickle, wuwuwu..."
Fang Hengyuan stiffened his neck and said awkwardly, "Son, why don't you change your request? Daddy will satisfy you."
He had never thought that this boy could actually pass the exam and become a scholar. He accidentally said something outrageous...
Fang Ziyan's nose was an inch long, and he sobbed, "This is just my little wish, and you are not willing to fulfill it..."
Fang Wenxiu gritted his teeth and picked up the chair again.
After threatening Fang Ziyan, he blamed Fang Hengyuan again: "Father, you too, can say anything. Can you make such a promise to a junior so casually?"
Still calling Fang Ziyan "Dad"?
Screaming is against human ethics and might piss off our ancestors in the underworld.
Don't call me. He's not keeping his word and is not setting the example a father should be.
But Fang Wenxiu was caught in the middle, he couldn't do this and didn't want to do that, which was so annoying.
"This..." Fang Hengyuan said awkwardly, taking out a handkerchief from his arms and handing it to Fang Ziyan, "Son, stop crying first. Let's change our wish, okay?"
Fang Ziyan took the handkerchief, blew his nose hard, and asked with tears in his eyes, "Can any wish be fulfilled?"
Fang Hengyuan was about to answer yes when Fang Wenxiu interrupted him: "You must not violate morality or the law."
Fang Ziyan uttered an "uh," wiped his tears, and said, "Well, I can't think of anything for now, so I'll keep it for now. Dad, you have to remember this, you owe me a promise."
Fang Hengyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with a smile: "Dad has made a note of this, Ziyan, I hope Dad didn't hurt you just now."
After saying that, he glared at Fang Wenxiu again: "My dear brother! You don't even know how to be gentle!"
Fang Wenxiu silently put down the chair and gritted his teeth.
If I had known this would happen, I would have stayed out of this mess and let Fang Ziyan get what he wanted!
After the commotion, Fang Wenxiu began to ask about the real business: "Zi Yan, didn't Lord Shen just arrive in the county? Why did you go home at night?"
Fang Ziyan felt strange: "I miss you, Father and Big Brother. I want to come back to see you soon, and... I have something important to tell you."
Fang Hengyuan and Fang Wenxiu exchanged a glance and asked, "Did Lord Shen really get promoted?"
Fang Ziyan was stunned: "How did you know?"
Really got promoted?!
Fang Hengyuan was shocked and asked, "He was promoted to a Beijing official? What rank? A junior fifth rank...? Could it be a full fifth rank?"
Fang Ziyan shook his head.
Fang Hengyuan was about to say, "That's right," when he heard him say, "It's not the fifth rank, nor the fifth rank, it's the fourth rank."
"How many?!" Fang Hengyuan and Fang Wenxiu exclaimed at the same time: "Fourth rank? A Beijing official?"
"That's right." Fang Ziyan nodded, thinking it was natural: "Sister Shen is so capable, she deserves to be a first-rank official. It's just a fourth-rank official, what's so strange about that?"
"A fourth-rank official..." Fang Hengyuan's eyes widened.
He has lived for decades, but has never seen a fourth-rank official in person!
Fang Wenxiu continued, "A fourth-rank official...that's all?"
Is a fourth-rank official just “that’s all”?
Fang Ziyan pouted and directly quoted Cui Jinyin's words: "We all think that His Majesty is a bit stingy and reluctant to give Sister Shen a promotion. A fourth-rank official... is just enough to make do."
Your Majesty... stingy?
A fourth-rank official...will just accept it?
The father and son were greatly shocked. The feeling was even worse than being suddenly pushed into the sky by a bull while walking on the road.
Fang Hengyuan quickly covered Fang Ziyan's mouth: "Son, you must not criticize His Majesty. Don't say these words...even at home."
Fang Ziyan struggled fiercely, his nostrils showing as he spoke in a muffled voice, "Your Majesty and the Empress are very kind people! The Empress even praised me for being a good child!"
Fang Hengyuan thought he had misheard, and tremblingly let go of Fang Ziyan's mouth, asking: "You, you...what did you say?"
Fang Ziyan immediately stood up and shouted, "The Queen praised me for being a good child! His Majesty also told me to eat more vegetables!"
The expressions on Fang Hengyuan and Fang Wenxiu's faces could no longer be described as "shocked".
Fang Hengyuan held his forehead, stumbled a few steps, and asked in a trembling voice, "Son...are you saying that you saw...the Emperor and the Empress, and even spoke to them?"
how can that be!
His Fang family has been in business for generations, and they have never seen an emperor or an empress, let alone a princess or a prince!
What is Fang Ziyan saying now?
It is said that he followed Lord Shen to the capital and not only met the Queen, but also the Emperor?
Is the emperor a good person to meet?
"Everything I said is true!" Seeing their faces full of disbelief, Fang Ziyan pointed to the brocade box on the table and said, "Yes, not only did I have dinner with His Majesty and His Majesty, I also accepted their gifts!"
As he said that, he opened the lid of the brocade box.
Fang Hengyuan and Fang Wenxiu supported each other as they walked over. The firelight in the hall made them dizzy and dizzy.
Fang Ziyan took out the items in the box one by one.
Fang Ziyan took it and introduced it, "This is the imperial paper used by His Majesty! There's even the imperial study seal in the corner!"
"This jar is Ambergris Royal Incense. Sister Shen said it's worth a hundred gold coins and it's in short supply!"
Before the father and son could be shocked, they saw Fang Ziyan take out something.
"This purse is filled with golden grains, a gift from His Majesty!"
Gold bestowed by the emperor?
The father and son both gasped.
This is no ordinary gold!
It is the gold that is placed on the altar to attract wealth and fortune!
Finally, Fang Ziyan took out a token from the brocade box and shook it. "Dad, big brother, do you know what this is?"
It was strange that the two knew, and they shook their heads together: "I don't know."
"Sister Shen said this is a pass for the official post station!" Fang Ziyan's words exploded in their ears, "With this pass, you can travel freely on the official road and avoid inspection!"
"You can walk freely on the official road?" Fang Hengyuan repeated the first half of the sentence.
"Can it still be exempted from inspection?" Fang Wenxiu repeated the second half of the sentence.
"Who?" They looked at Fang Ziyan at the same time: "You?"
This... is very wrong, right?
"Of course it's me! This was personally bestowed upon me by His Majesty!" Fang Ziyan tied the pass around his waist in a formal manner and shook it. "But... Cui Jinyin said it's best not to give this pass to others, so as not to affect the operation of the official road. Come to think of it, if anyone could use the official road at will, what a mess it would be!"
"..."
Fang Hengyuan and Fang Wenxiu looked at each other.
How could these two people become the "who" that Fang Ziyan mentioned?
"Fang Ziyan, you're such a jerk! You're trying to show off to your dad, right? How dare you show off to your dad!"
Father's love is short-lived.
