Chapter 148 – The Moon

After bringing Sang Wen into the back garden, Fan Xian looked up and saw that the warblers and swallows in the garden were all in harmony, and in the thick spring and near-summer season, there was a cool breeze, and the moon was hanging in the sky, and lanterns were hung under the wigwam and green trees in all directions. Moonlight and light a muddy, adding a few points of the sense of confusion. In this misty light, more than ten girls were chattering and talking, and those soft-eyed girls were not wearing much clothing, or standing under the tree, or lying on the couch, with different postures, and occasionally there was a beautiful light coming out through the veil, and the faint fragrance emanating from their bodies was even pouncing on their noses.

Fan Xian was stunned, couldn’t help but have some kind of illusion, could it be that he had come to the Pansi Cave, when did this Huayuan become Chen Yuan?

The girls were chattering non-stop, for a while they didn’t even notice Fan Xian standing at the backlight, and were talking about the things that happened in the daytime at the Moon House, the power of the sword, and the majesty of Lord Qin’s scolding on the street.

The main speaker was one of the two head girls of the Moonlight Building, and those who listened to the speech were the little girls with wide-open eyes and a look of curiosity or admiration.

Fan Xian whispered, “Didn’t you say that all the girls in the building were sent to other places?”

Sang Wen covered her lips with a smile and explained, “Aren’t these the girls in the garden?”

Fan Xian then came to his senses, and could not help but subconsciously look at them a few more times, sighing in his heart, “It is said that a woman’s life changes when she grows up, but how is it that all the displaced and orphaned girls who were picked up by Si Si on the road have all grown up so flamboyantly even before they have been raised for a few days in Suzhou City? Although between the eyebrows is still childish, youthful not faded, how can a natural youthful atmosphere forced face to face, it is good to be happy.

Especially this back garden has always prohibited unrelated men to enter, the girls are listening to Liang Dot Dot Dot to tell the story of the day, full of interest, so the line sitting behavior is not very careful, there are lying on the couch with a small buttocks play naive, there are holding a fan to pretend to be a lady, straight and long legs, across the thin cloth, presenting a wide variety of taut beauty.

The big brother’s second wife Ma Suosuo is sitting on the chair to listen to the speech, although the daytime far seen the situation, but by Liang Dot point that sandalwood little mouth to say out, add a few points of thrilling, just Liang Dot point this girl has not personally seen the building in the inside, so the portrayal for Fan Xian, for him in the face of danger, the description of the courage over the person is not inevitably exaggerated a little bit, and successfully portrayed a perfect young man in the country of Qing should not have been He successfully portrayed a perfect young man that Qing should not have.

The girls’ eyes in the garden were all hot and shy, they loved Mr. Qin, but their mouths couldn’t open and they didn’t dare to open, even Marcelle slightly inclined her head to look at the front of the pool, and her eyes showed some strange glimpses of color.

Fan Xian swallowed a mouthful of water, knowing that if he continued to watch, he would make a lot of mistakes in life. Those little nieces are still developing, but the little sister-in-law and Liang Dot Dot Dot two people but really is born charming things, eyebrows like di, lips like Zhu, the eyes have God, see the lost God, how can you see again …… He was about to cough a couple of times to remind the crowd, but heard a nieces in the garden inadvertently speak a sentence, then closed his mouth, quietly stood at the backlight.

Sang Wen gave him a puzzled look, not knowing what had happened.

That little girl, who was no more than twelve or thirteen years old, opened her eyes wide and innocently said, “Sisters, why haven’t we seen Young Grandmother all this time?”

Because of the current situation, Fan Xian and his entourage stayed in Hua Yuan for a few months and did not move to Hangzhou, during these days, Si Si brought these little girls to live in the garden, these girls naturally knew the name and identity of their benefactor a long time ago, and to be able to become a maid in the house of an imperial household was naturally something that made them feel lucky, but it had been so long and they had not seen Young Granny, making them also a little strange.

Liang Dot Dot listened to this, slightly stunned, did not say anything, these little girls are not clear, she is a Kyoto person, naturally she knows about the sensational Fan Lin marriage matter in the early years. Miss Lin family is the illegitimate daughter of the eldest princess, this matter has gradually from the imperial court power and nobility only know the secret, turned into folk rumors circulating, although not confirmed, but there are not many people do not believe. And the world knows, small Fan Lord and Xinyang side has long become incompatible situation, this thing ……

A girl spat, reprimanded: “The main family’s matter, we are not qualified to discuss, by Si Si sister heard, be careful of your mouth!”

The girl in front of the head laughed nervously, “Hehehe, in fact …… Xi’er also just wants to see what kind of heavenly fairy appearance the young granny who can match the young master is born with.”

In their hearts, Fan Xian was naturally the topmost first-class person, and they were naturally curious about what Lin Wan’er was like.

“I heard that this young granny is also a virtuous lady of the house.” Liang Dot Dot Dot suddenly turned her eyes and said with a sweet smile, “But I heard that the appearance is not very outstanding, I’m afraid that it’s not as good as Miss Sisi.”

“That’s true, there are a few people who can match the young master ……”

“Hee hee, I really don’t know what will happen in the future …… By the way, isn’t there a girl living in our garden? Just weekdays have not seen a few faces, what a big frame.”

Liang Dot Dot smiled and said, “I heard that …… is also the confidant of the adults, but it is not Si Si girl is an old man, which has no name and no identity.”

“Shut up!” Vaguely know Haitang identity of the girl ring is not good to scold Liang dot, only to catch that girl hurriedly scolded, “Really really want to find death, that such nobleman which bother to pose to you this dead thing to see.”

Fan Xian couldn’t listen anymore, coughed twice and walked to the light.

The maids jumped, rose one after another, collected their spirits and quieted their voices, and made a single blessing at Fan Xian, saying softly, “Greetings, young master.”

In the Garden of Hua, they were still addressed according to the rules of the Kyoto mansion.

Fan Xian looked at these little girls and shook his head, thinking that if they were all talking like this in their own courtyard, he still didn’t know how unpleasant the rumors were outside, but he was also a person with a sparse nature, and even more lazily cared about how others were slandering him, and slowly said, “It’s getting late at night, so go to sleep.”

The maids spat out their tongues, made another bow, hurriedly straightened their clothes, and quietly returned to their respective compartments.

Only Liang Doddie and Ma Suoso were called down by Fan Xian.

Fan Xian stared at Liang Dian Dian’s face, which was naturally charming in its beauty, and did not speak for a long time.

Liang Doudot was slightly happy in her heart, but her face did not show it, instead, she deliberately curled up and timidly half lowered her head, showing her most beautiful side.

When Kyoto Fan Lin marriage, the city rumors, Fan Xian for the sick wife is really loving, can be known that this small Fan Lord is a person of love, in a court of honor, Fan Xian is the dream lover of the girls, Liang Doddie grew up since childhood in the flower boat is no exception, just some more not very comfortable wit and considerations.

Liang Doudot is extremely confident in her own appearance, thinking that the young granny, who was born far less than herself, was able to get little Lord Fan’s love, and I’m afraid that this man is fond of pitying people, so he deliberately put on this appearance, and after the opening of the Suzhou branch of the Moon Tower, little Lord Fan has not let himself take customers, so I think he also has a few meanings for himself ……

Feeling Fan Xian’s unmoving gaze, Liang Dian Dian’s joy grew and she shyly lowered her head, not saying a word.

Sang Wen, who was standing behind Fan Xian, watched this scene, a smile of disgust spreading from the corner of his lips.

Fan Xian suddenly opened his mouth and said, “Everyone, has the power to make their lives better, so I am not disgusted by your idea.”

Liang Doudao looked up in shock and met Fan Xian’s emotionless gaze, only then did she realize that she had gotten the wrong idea and her heart palpitated.

Fan Xian continued coldly, “However, I don’t like it.”

Shame assaulted Liang Dot, not daring to say anything at all.

“No one is born to serve, if you don’t want to do it at the Moon Embracing House, let Boss Sang convert you to a Qing nationality, and after you earn your silver back, naturally release you from the building.” Fan Xian stared at her beautiful cheeks and said, “Sang Wen, pack her bags and live somewhere else.”

Sang Wen was stunned, not realizing that Mr. Tisi was so unsympathetic, but he didn’t dare to say anything, and took Liang Dian Dian, who had tears in her eyes, into the mansion to pack up her belongings.

At this time, only Fan Xian and Marcelle were left in the garden.

Suddenly, Ma Suosuo spoke softly, “My lord, does Suosuo need to go out of the house as well, so as not to pollute the tranquility of the garden?”

Fan Xian’s lips tugged slightly and gave a bitter smile, looking at this Hu Princess’s blue sea-like eyes, straight nose, and profoundly beautiful face, he said softly, “Stay, don’t say much, don’t ask too many questions, I like you very much, and if there is an opportunity in the future, I’ll help you.”

Marzoso was slightly surprised and looked up at Fan Xian, seemingly not expecting that the other party would see everything clearly, and even more so, exuding that kind of meaning, she couldn’t help but say gratefully, “Many thanks, my lord.”

Fan Xian calmly said, “No thanks, I would have liked to stand on the ice and see the world.”

Back inside, Si Si had already prepared hot water. After washing his face and sticking his feet into the hot water, Fan Xian sighed with satisfaction, then closed his eyes and began to follow the Dharma that Haitang had taught him, using a trickle of tiny drops to repair the meridians that had been injured by Ye Liuyun’s sword qi today. Growing up since he was young, the method he practiced was different from the world, and the process of proper meditation was as simple as dozing off for him.

I don’t know how long he squinted for, his eyes opened slightly, his true qi flowed through his entire body, realizing that he was already much more comfortable, and then he noticed that the room was quiet, so he couldn’t help but feel a little strange.

Looking to the side, he realized that Si Si had already fallen asleep leaning over the book case, probably because she had been worrying for too long during the day and waiting for too long at night, the girl was sleepy and somewhat unable to do so.

Fan Xian smiled, and did not wake her up, pulling a towel to wipe the water off her feet, gently walking behind her, draping his robe over her body, worried that she would catch a cold.

Standing behind Si Si for a while, looking at the girl’s white neck beside the silk hair, he sighed from no reason, remembered that year and Si Si in Tanyu state copying the book of the season, that is how easy to live at ease, no foreign affairs to worry about, only a bean lamp, ink stone one side, bald pen a branch, a petite waiter, the two sit side by side to copy the book of stone, although there is no fat batch, but that a little bit of beautiful handwriting, there is a true aroma.

He thought about it, his right hand gently pressed on the back of Si Si’s neck, rubbed for her, in a few acupuncture points on the micro application of real power, to help her to adjust the body, urged her to sleep, before carefully picked her up, rested on the bed, pulled on a thin cover, which is assured that she patted her face, shuffled out of the room with his shoes.

The moment he closed the door, he seemed to see a safe and cozy smile on the sleeping Si Si’s face.

Draped in his clothes, shuffling his shoes, and shrugging his shoulders, Fan Xian strolled around Hua Yuan without caring about his image, as if he wanted to take advantage of the night breeze that breezed in all directions to blow away his deepest depressions. Although the garden given by Yang Jimei, a salt merchant, was beautiful, it was a pity that it could not clear his mind.

His heart presses too many things, five bamboo uncle is not around, Wan Er is not around, really nowhere to tell, nowhere to discuss, nowhere to vent.

No one knows why he does things so urgently in Jiangnan, so unhesitatingly the great reversal. Everyone, including his friends, his subordinates, his enemies, and his relatives …… seemed to have a wrong judgment of Fan Xian.

And this judgment was what Fan Xian was most angry about.

Everyone thought that Fan Xian could be ruthless in struggles involving power, so the crowd, consciously or unconsciously, forgot about the inextricable link between him and the Princess, and waited only to see how he would trample Xinyang on the ground, but did not think that Fan Xian would not only trample, but also trample beautifully.

Fan Xian did not have the slightest affection for the Eldest Princess, but he had deep roots in Wan Er, who, after all, was the Eldest Princess’s own daughter.

Everyone had forgotten that.

Everyone had deliberately forgotten this.

Fan Xian was angry and gloomy, and although he had already secretly made arrangements, he was still angry.

If one day, the Eldest Princess really died by her own hand, what would Wan Er do?

There was nowhere to complain, nowhere to complain.

Fan Xian could not stop.

This was true in the official world, in the jianghu, and also in the Garden of Hua. He crossed his steps, bypassed the silent pond, traveled through the cold corridor, purely subconsciously, along the familiar stone path, and walked to the last part of the Garden of China, outside the quiet study.

He looked up at the door and couldn’t help but smile to himself, how did he walk here again?

In the Shishu Xinyu, Wang Xianzhi lived in Shanyin, and because he missed Dai Andao’s story, he braved the snow to visit Jai in a boat all night long. When the morning light, the king to Dai’s door, did not knock on the door and turned to go. The servant wondered, the king said: “I came on a pleasure, the pleasure and go, why see Dai?”

Fan Xian did not have this kind of twisted celebrity demeanor, nor did he like to play heart-to-heart, nor did he take offense at the doings of the Xu Shi duo; since he had come, he realized that he had become accustomed to the fact that when faced with a real predicament of the heart, he would come to consult with her, seeking a method, or at least one that would put his heart at rest.

So he lifted his step up the stone steps and gently pushed the door under the moon.

The study was unbolted, and for the past six months, she had been living in it, peacefully and quietly, alone far away in the secluded part of Hua Yuan.

Haitang had long since woken up when he came to the door, and had already sat up from the bed, draped in a flowery cloth shirt, sitting at the head of the bed, looking at him with a smile.

There was no light in the study, only the faint moonlight from outside filtered in, but with the realm of the two of them, they naturally saw everything in the room and the look on each other’s faces clearly.

The night was a bit cool, Fan Xian rubbed his hands, turned back and closed the door behind him, shuffled his shoes and walked over to Haitang’s bedside, and without any hesitation, lifted a corner of the brocade quilt, drilled into it, and sat on the other side of the bed, looking across the bed with Haitang.

The quilt was very warm, there was no aroma, there was just a clean and warm feeling.

Haitang looked at this scoundrel and said hopelessly, “Knowing that I’ve thought about it, I’m still prepared to marry in the future.”

Fan Xian’s feet rubbed twice on the cotton cloth on the bed, sighed comfortably, and was a little surprised and disappointed that he didn’t actually touch Haitang’s feet, it seems that the girl across from him was sitting cross-legged.

He said, “I am an adulterer.” Then with a smile, “You’re the adulteress.”

“Of course.” He grinned and said, “That’s the rumor out there.”

Haitang glared at him.

Fan Xian said, “It’s just one thing that I wouldn’t be willing to die for. Although I was born slightly better than others, but I did not have a private affair to seduce you, how can I bite the bullet and say that you and I have a private affair? Duo Duo, I am too unconvinced. This has delayed the false name, not I say a word of regret, anyway, so, not if we have another reason …….”

These words are said how the ghostly.

Haitang but only sighed: “This section is not printed out, but Si Si two days ago after copying also brought to me read, seventy-seven Harumi said, why do you have to use again to acrimonize me a bit? I’m not the second master of the treasure, you are not a pretty maiden, Ye Liuyun also did not hurt you to the point of death, in this place to play the grief, but I do not know what is in the heart of the anger.”

Fan Xian scoffed to himself and shook his head, not opening his mouth for a moment.

The study-turned-bedroom fell into silence.

“I’m not into playing ambiguous.” Fan Xian said softly, “You probably don’t understand what I mean by that, it’s just that, I do quite enjoy spending time with you and talking.”

Haitang’s bright eyes glowed in the dark night.

“But right now we’re really ambiguous.” Fan Xian smiled and said, “Originally, I wanted to come and spit out the bitterness in my heart, but I didn’t expect to find another pile of bitterness with an occasional heartbeat.”

“Everyone marries.”

Fan Xian half leaned on the foot of the bed, eyes slightly closed, and said, “But why does the thought of you marrying someone else in the future make my heart bossy?”

Haitang’s eyes filled with laughter, filling into the moon, filling into the moon in the water, filling into the wisps of moon in the water filaments gradually leaking out of the bamboo basket, her hands gently tugging at the corner of the quilt, covering over her own breasts as she looked at Fan Xian’s face, slowly saying, “How about …… marrying you? “
