The Fang family residence in Huainan Prefecture City was a spacious three-courtyard compound located in the east of the city. Today, the Fang family was widely regarded as one of the most prominent new-money clans in Huainan Prefecture City.
In truth, long before the family struck it rich, the groundwork had already been laid by Fang Zhongxing's generation. Fang Zhongxing was a clever man with a graceful and tactful manner. Through tireless effort, he finally managed to spend eighty taels of silver to purchase a small, single-courtyard house in the eastern part of the city.
Fang Zhongxing took a woman of the Yang family as his wife, who bore him a son and a daughter. The boy was named Fang Lianhai, and the girl was named Lianzhi.
