Hu Sande was not surprised by Fang Xiaowen's request. It was not uncommon for buyers and sellers to request interviews, so after Fang Xiaowen said it, he promised to ask Miss Su.
After that, Fang Xiaowen asked his servants to send Hu Sande away. It was not until he left that only his family was left. Fang Youshi asked his son, "The price offered by the other party is a bit low. If we add another five hundred taels, it will be about the same. Xiao Wen, do you want to sell it to this Miss Su?"
Fang Xiaowen saw that his mother and his wife who were waiting next to her looked puzzled, so he sat down and elaborated, "Mom, I don't know. I got some news recently. If my guess is right, Miss Su may have been sealed by His Majesty recently." A good princess."
When Fang Youshi and Fang Xiaowen's wife Fang Hanshi heard this, their faces were full of surprise, "What?"
When Fang Xiaowen saw them like this, he continued, "Although our ancestors had Grandpa Zeng who was a minister, he doesn't have many connections in the imperial court. Although I passed the examination, I have to keep my filial piety for three years, so what's the point of being elected again?" It’s so easy. Although money is useful, it’s not as useful as the relationship between the DPRK and China.”
Although Fang Xiaowen was not an official, he still had some contacts in various places. The news that Su Tang was made the princess was not widely spread, and not many people knew about it.
But Fang Xiaowen had some friendship with the chief clerk of Qingyuan County. He got the news from the chief clerk. What the chief clerk said at the time was that this good princess of the Su family was not very old. She was obviously a small peasant girl, but she was dressed in a beautiful dress. His demeanor is very extraordinary.
The chief clerk mentioned it casually and did not say where the princess was from or what her name was, but Fang Xiaowen remembered it in his mind and later asked some people to inquire.
Although Qingyuan County is not close to the capital, it is not far away either. Although Fang Xiaowen has no family to rely on and does not have strong connections in the court, he does have several classmates who are officials in the capital.
Su Tang is not a transparent person without a name in the capital. Her love-hate relationship with Pei Xuan was widely spread, and Su Tang also presented two new dishes and soap recipes, so she was awarded the title of County Lord. Princess.
After Fang Xiaowen knew this, he had a plan in mind. He had no support in the court. He relied on the money from selling his ancestral property. Even if he could be employed temporarily, it would not be so easy to climb up the ranks.
Although money can help with some things, if it really opens up a smooth path, then it is not just a small amount of money. Fang Xiaowen knows that his family does not have that ability. He does not study under a famous teacher, nor does he have a strong family to rely on. He just occupies the family's territory. There was once a minister here, and he could barely be said to be from a scholarly family.
But a family background like Qihuang Kingdom really didn't count. He wanted to climb up and needed more powerful supporters, and Su Tang was the closest opportunity in front of him.
Originally, Fang Xiaowen was still thinking of ways to learn more about this very mysterious and low-key good princess, but today he heard that a Miss Su came to buy his land, and he was moved.
In Fang Xiaowen's opinion, there are not many young Miss Su who can buy such a large piece of land in Qingyuan County, but Fang Xiaowen is not sure directly, and still wants to see and confirm with his own eyes.
Fang Xiaowen knew that his mother and wife were surprised, so he explained carefully, "This good princess has a really bad reputation in the capital, but she is a disciple of the emperor's master, Mr. Zhong Wen. Although Mr. Zhong Wen has not many disciples, they are very popular in the capital." They are all highly valued in the court, and if the princess can value her, then it would be worthwhile to give this manor to the princess."
