Chapter 41: Already Seducing His Peers
After everything was arranged, Fan Xian came to the bedroom, where Liu seemed to have drifted off to sleep as she crouched on the edge of the bed. He woke her up in a low voice and whispered with her in the side room for a while, and Liu’s tear-stained face gradually revealed a sense of determination and nodded, accepting the arrangement. It was unknown what Fan Xian had promised her, and how he had convinced her.
The night is getting deeper, the autumn circle of insects early no, Ruoruo is accompanied by Liu’s, Fan Xian walked to the side of his younger brother, looked at his sleep, but gritted his teeth and hate the face, looked at that a few grains of hemp directly want to spurt out, shouting unevenly, can not help but smile and shook his head, from the desk to take down the seal mud, took out from the bosom of the Shih Hanyu Li proposed a good paperwork, will be a few Si Zhe’s fingers in the top of the paperwork forcefully pressed down.
Looking at the bright red fingerprints on the snow-white paperwork, Fan Xian nodded with satisfaction, from now on, Fan Si Zhe’s hands hold 70% of the shares of the Holding the Moon Building, was formally transferred to the hands of a person, he and the white bones for the mud and blood for the lake of the greenhouse, formally cut off.
Wan Er knew that he was in a bad mood, made a face, but did not get any effective response, deep down could not help but feel that he was a little useless, the corners of his lips slightly curled up and smiled.
Fan Xian also smiled and said, “This matter has nothing to do with you, little children, they always have to go out and make their way in order to become successful.” He suddenly asked, “Did Miss Shen pick up and return?”
“Over at Xiting.” Wan Er explained, “Mr. Xiao Yan has already gone there.”
“Good.” Fan Xian calmly responded, and sat down by Si Zhe’s bedside, and after thinking about it, he still got back up and called out to the people in the small kitchen to make some dry food, but he himself brought a bowl of hot porridge to the side, blowing on one side and slowly drinking it on the other side, intentionally giving Xiaoyan and Eldest Miss Shen some time to revisit their old relationship. More importantly, is to give Liu stay some time alone with his son.
I don’t know how long it took, but Deng Ziyue walked over under the guidance of the family servant and nodded at him.
Fan Xian understood, and not wanting to let anyone else help, he walked into the bedroom and personally carried Fan Si Zhe to the corner door at the backyard and boarded the carriage. Fan Si Zhe was still groggy, Liu biting her lip as she came up to affectionately caress his cheek, he didn’t even wake up, Ruo Ruo also touched his thick ears with all reluctance, even Wan Er’s eyes flashed with a hint of separation gloom.
Only Sinan Bo Fan Jian remained stoically asleep, seemingly not caring at all about his infant son, who was about to travel far away to an unfamiliar land without knowing when he would return.
“You guys go first.” Fan Xian said to the frosty-faced Yan Bingyun, “I’m troubling your father in this matter, so be careful when you leave the city.”
After nightfall, the gates of Kyoto closed early, and only the people of the Supervisory Court had the power to send a person out of the city silently.
Yan Bingyun slowly raised her head, glanced at him, and asked, “You’re not coming along?”
Fan Xian lowered his head and said, “Meet me at the Pine Forest Pack, I still have some things to do.”
His afterglow saw clearly that his brother in the carriage had tears at the corners of his eyes, obviously having woken up but not knowing why he was pretending to be faint in front of Liu. Fan Si Zhe’s lips twitched, thinking that in his heart he must hate himself and his father.
In the surrounding darkness, in addition to the Qiyan group, there were also swordmen from the six divisions on standby, and with the strength of this line, unless the Second Prince’s side had utilized the Ye family’s Kyoto guard force, there was definitely no way to counteract it head on.
Fan Xian stood under the carriage and bowed his head for a moment, waving his hand.
The carriage slowly moved and drove towards the outside of Kyoto, and the three women leaning against the door by the corner gate of the Fan mansion at the back couldn’t help but reveal their chi, with Liu’s sadness growing even more intense.
There is no mark of a few carriages, so walking in the quiet dark streets of Kyoto, do not know what means of speech ice cloud is used, out of the city was incredibly smooth, stepped on the official road outside the city, to the northwest of the line for a small half an hour, by the light of the moon, looking at the short bushes on the hill in front of them, it is to the Pine Forest Packet.
The caravan stopped here, waiting for Fan Xian.
Fan Si Zhe in the carriage at this time suddenly opened his eyes, eyes still with that hostile horizontal color: “This all the way to exile, are you not afraid that I ran away?”
He and Yan Bingyun were the only two people in the carriage, and Yan Bingyun said coldly, “You’re a smart person, of course you know what to do. Fan Xian has used so many means for your sake, of course it’s not just to keep you safe.”
Fan Si Zhe lowered his voice and cursed, “Just protecting his own reputation.”
Yan Bingyun scoffed and responded, “If it was just to protect his own reputation, directly sending you to the Kyoto Palace, who could say anything about him?”
Fan Si Zhe understood in his heart that this was the case, but refused to admit it, saying pointedly, “That’s because father wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen!”
“Lord Shangshu?” Yan Bingyun’s cold eyes added a hint of teasing, “What Lord Shangshu thinks is not something that a younger generation like you and I can speculate on without authorization.”
Fan Si Zhe said breathlessly, “Brother Yan, my brother is going to …… exile me where?”
“Northern Qi.” Yan Bingyun replied.
“Ah?” Fan Si Zhe face showed the color of despair, long too breath, with his age is extremely inconsistent with the pathos however fell, straight down, but touched the back of the injury, can not help but let out a miserable scream.
Yan Bingyun looked at him with amusement, “Fan Xian’s medicine …… is effective, but it is very overbearing, so you just keep enduring it.” This one had also been tossed around like this by Fan Xian when he was in the upper capital of Northern Qi.
“I have a measure of hand, looking miserable, but actually not moving the bones, what are you pretending to be pitiful for?” Fan Xian spoke coldly, walking onto the carriage with a cold face.
When Fan Si Zhe looked at the expression on his face, he thought of the large group of people he had previously received, and winced in fear.
“Did what go?” Yan Bingyun frowned at him, “Time is of the essence.”
Fan Xian released the man he was carrying on his back and dropped him next to Fan Si Zhe. A faint aroma immediately emanated from the carriage. Fan Si Zhe was startled, and looking at the woman’s soft face favor, he couldn’t help but be shocked and yell at Fan Xian, “What have you done with her!”
The one who had been taken captive by Fan Xian was none other than Yan’er, the red herald from the Moon Embracing Tower.
Fan Xian glanced at Fan Si Zhe and laughed mockingly, “Pitying her so much? It seems that although your disposition is sinister, you still inherited your father’s fine gene of pitying …… when he opened the brothel, why don’t you take pity on her?”
Both Fan Si Zhe and Yan Bing Yun couldn’t understand the word gene, they were just more surprised at why Fan Xian would have taken this girl captive, of course, with Fan Xian’s skillful and bewitching methods, and Holding the Moon Tower being in a state of panic today, it was really easy to want to take a prostitute captive silently.
“She’s your first woman, isn’t she?” Fan Xian looked into his brother’s eyes and asked in a soft voice.
After thinking for a while, Fan Si Zhe nodded, a beguiling look in his eyes, wanting to beg his brother to let the woman go.
Fan Xian shook his head and sighed, “You really are better than me, you opened your bud at the age of fourteen ……” then laughed out loud, and then said with a straight face, “I know that you have a different attitude towards this woman, and I have also found out that she For you there are still a few feelings …… although you are only old enough to be her brother.”
Fan Xian couldn’t help the corner of his lips curling up again.
“Holding the Moon Tower won’t be peaceful in the future. If this girl called Yan’er stays there, I don’t think you’ll feel at ease ……I’m even more unlikely to receive her into the mansion, and even if father allows it, Aunt Liu will have to cane her.” Fan Xian calmly said, “Thinking about it, you’re traveling all the way north, although it’s a trip to sharpen your skills, it’s too lonely and isolated, and it’s not good for the cultivation of your heart, so I’ve brought her to accompany you.”
Fan Si Zhe and Yan Bing Yun stared wide-eyed, filled with an unbelievable look – exile from the capital, actually with a red herdsman companion? Is this an exile or a vacation?
“Brother …… what exactly do you want to do ah?” Fan Si Zhe was categorically unconvinced that he could still retain the level of travel treatment that even the second youngest master of the Fan House could hardly have after making such a big deal out of it! He spoke with some slurred speech, looking fearfully at Fan Xian’s calm face, so much so that he had even forgotten much of the pain he had suffered physically.
Yan Bingyun looked at Fan Xian, feeling so puzzled, shook his head somewhat unknowingly, and patted Fan Si Zhe’s shoulder, “This brother of yours, he’s really a marvelous person.”
He got out of the carriage, leaving the carriage to the two brothers who would soon be separated.
Without long silence, Fan Xian quietly looked at Si Zhe and said, “Why didn’t you say goodbye to your mother earlier?” Without waiting for him to answer, he asked again, “Do you know why, this time, I would be so angry, and father and I decided to send you away?”
Fan Si Zhe lowered his head, thought for a moment and then said, “Send me away …… One I don’t have to worry about the Kyoto government to handle the case of Hug Moon House, even if it’s a fear of absconding, all in all, there is no longer this drawback, and the family will be able to let go of the oldest two of them and fight for a fight.”
“Not bad.” Fan Xian was somewhat pleased to find that his younger brother, under his own inculcation, had also begun to refer to the imperial princes by names such as Lao Er Lao San.
“Second to …… be a punishment for me.” Fan Si Zhe suddenly raised his head, endured the severe pain under the buttocks behind his back, and cried, “But I don t want to go ah …… brother, the Northern Qi people are so fierce, what can I do over there?”
“Do what?” Fan Xian answered seriously, “Of course it’s what you do best, doing business.”
Fan Si Zhe raised his head stupidly, where was half the demeanor of the great proprietor of the Moon Embracing House, and asked, “Doing business?”
“Yes.” Fan Xian said, “Father asked me to make arrangements, I thought about it and decided to leave you a thousand taels of silver capital, after you arrive in Shangjing, I’ll have someone meet you, but …… I won’t give you any extra help, if you can turn over this thousand taels of silver capital to ten thousand taels within five months , then I will really recognize your ability, then ……”
“Turn it over ten times?” Not waiting for Lao to finish his words, Fan Si Zhe couldn’t help but roar fiercely, “I’m not an immortal!”
“That’s your problem now.”
“The capital of one thousand taels of silver is too little!” Fan Si Zhe said with shame and anger, “This business is not a disgrace to do.”
“What bullshit logic, how much did the two of us brothers spend when we opened Tanya Bookstore?”
“Bah! If you have the ability to go and sell me the whole Stone Book again, I guarantee that I can turn a thousand into ten thousand.”
“You think so! That surnamed Cao’s been forced by me to manuscript has been driven crazy …… where else to go to whole go?”
Brothers two a no top no bottom of the scolding yell after, the whole atmosphere has become a little more relaxed. Fan Xian looked at Fan Si Zhe’s chubby face and couldn’t help but sigh, “It’s windy and rainy outside, father instructed me not to take too much care of you, and you have to be careful with everything.”
Fan Si Zhe nodded in silence and suddenly spoke, “Brother, you said that I am a genius in business, don’t worry.”
Fan Xian added, “Rushing you out of the capital, I hope you won’t blame me.”
Fan Si Zhe shook his head and didn’t say anything.
Fan Xian understood that his heart must be very uncomfortable, and said with a frown, “In fact, what you just said, those two reasons …… for sending you out of the capital are all false.”
Fan Si Zhe raised his head, looking extraordinarily puzzled.
Fan Xian said softly, “Even if you stay in Kyoto what are you afraid of? Could it be that I can’t even protect someone like you? Just hide somewhere, and wait for this matter to fade away……. I understand that the Second Prince wouldn’t dare to do anything to me. Even if the Kyoto government dares to investigate the case of holding the moon building, does he still dare to face the face of our old Fan family to the capital?”
“The second reason, you said it was to punish you, and that’s only a small part of the story.” Fan Xian looked at the head honcho of the Moon Embracing House, who had been unconscious, and calmly said, “You may suffer some hardships on this journey north, but it’s really a very small meaning compared to the things you’ve done. If I were to send you back to Tanyuzhou, following Grandma’s actions, I’m afraid you’d be a bit more miserable.”
Fan Si Zhe shrunk his head in some awe, not daring to grunt even when he tugged at his back, but in his heart he was thinking, “Then why must you drive yourself to the north?
Fan Xian slowly lowered his eyes and said, “I didn’t think that you would be so bold in doing things, and that you would be so ruthless ……If you remain in Kyoto, the bystanders, on the face of my father and me, will always have this or that kind of honey to lure you toward the deepest abyssal valleys …… So I think that it is better for you to weather some storms outside, or it will be more beneficial for your growth.”
He suddenly looked coldly at Si Zhe’s eyes and said, “In business, naturally, you have to be unscrupulous, but a certain degree of it must be mastered, too sharp and sinister, it is always easy to be backfired. What’s more, it’s always good to be good to people, and always try to get closer to the bright side.”
In fact, Fan Si Zhe has not been very convinced about the matter of the Moon Embracing House, after all, in his opinion, the Moon Embracing House is a symbol of his success, and some of the unlawful and dirty things hidden in it are really nothing. He sprawled on the long carriage stool, grunted and said, “This is said …… with a sense of justice, people who do not understand look, but also thought that my good brother and the Supervisory Yuan has nothing to do, but is a wooden scholar in the Imperial College.”
The words of mockery full, Fan Xian but just raised his eyebrows, he as the Supervisory Yuan, under those spies specializing in darkness, district greenhouse, whether in the concentration of darkness and filth, as well as acting on the layer of spicy degree, there is a world of difference, it is no wonder that the younger brother will be on their own discipline is not taken seriously.
Fan Xian laughed and said, “Do you think that I am not upright in myself, and it seems a bit absurd to use these words to say you ……?”
Fan Si Zhe saw his brother’s gentle smile and began to panic again, naturally not daring to speak, but the black eyes in his eyes turned twice, apparently meaning this.
“I’m naturally not a saint, and I’m not even a good person.” Fan Xian said, “But even if it’s a muddy-killing mass murderer, if he really cherishes his family, I think he’ll have the same idea as I do …… Doing our line of work, even if it oozes with a fishy odor all over his body, he still wants to keep his brother clean and dry …… Maybe it’s because we’ve been exposed to the most sinister things in the human world, so instead we’ll want you guys to stay away from these things.”
Fan Si Zhe heard him keep saying “we” and was skeptical.
Fan Xian thought for a moment and softly told the story of Sean and Zhuang Mo Han, smiling and saying, “Sean didn’t know how many people he had killed and how many evil things he had done in his life, but he still wanted to cultivate his own brother to become a gentleman with a clear name on the throne……. And, in fact, he succeeded, and Zhuang Mo Han didn’t let him down, until his death. did not let him down, and until the night before his death, it still made me admire …… Your brother, although I am not talented, but what Sean can do, I also want to do.”
As if he was trying to convince his brother, and as if he was consoling himself, “It’s good to be good, I want to be good too.”
When Fan Si Zhe first heard of this kind of shocking secret, his mouth opened wide and he didn’t say anything for half a day. After a long time, only after a trembling voice said, “But …… I have a headache when I look at those scriptures, histories and collections …… annotated by Zhuang Zazhi, brother ah, want me to do a generation of everyone, the difficulty is a little bit big.”
Fan idle gasped and laughed out loud, scolding, “On your head, reading is naturally not possible.”
Fan Si Zhe nerdily did not know how to speak, “Then you say this story ……”
“Do business well. In the future, strive to be a merchant who will be immortalized for generations to come.” Fan Xian smiled and encouraged, “Businessmen …… don’t necessarily have to take the sinister path as the world imagines. In this world, there are also some businessmen who take the sunny road and can still be just as successful.”
Fan Si Zhe said stupidly: “The businessman metaphor to profit …… earning money is, how can also be a thousand years old? The road? Even if it is made, it is still not a piece of fat meat in the mouth of the government?”
“With me and father, if you do business properly, who would dare to do anything about you?” Fan Xian looked at him with quiet, soft eyes, “And have you forgotten the Ye family? On Cangshan Mountain, you and I said that the reason why you have been interested in doing business since you were young is because when your father held you as a child, he often mentioned the story of the Ye family’s power to you, and if the Ye family’s mistress hadn’t died, let’s not talk about the government, and even the world’s several big countries, who would dare to make the Ye family how ……”
Fan Si Zhe’s eyes glowed, but immediately dimmed: “The greenhouse business is very profitable, more profitable than anything else.” He always still felt that what more face is needed to do business? Earning money was the first factor.
Fan Xian smiled and said, “I asked Qing Yu Tang’s Da Ye, and he said that back then, the Ye family did all kinds of business, but it was these side doors that they didn’t fish for. First of all, it must be the gender of the Ye family’s mistress that determines that she will definitely loathe this business, on the other hand, Da Ye’s explanation is that the biased door biased door …… since there is a biased word, then even if it is able to obtain great profits, but in the final analysis, it is not the right way …… it is just like the great river The green water on the banks of the river, although the depth is not endless, but it is difficult to become a voluminous state, you really want to do business this discipline to the top, light in these small rivers to play, always not.”
Somehow, Fan Xian said more and more excited, perhaps touched the deepest soft place, said aloud: “It is not easy for people to live a life, do everything to the extreme, when the businessman? That can not be satisfied to be a treacherous businessman, can not be satisfied to be an official businessman, or even a royal businessman …… business way is still there, you want to be a businessman in the world, not only can be rich, but also be admired by the people, and a thousand years of fame is.”
He said the heaven and earth leisurely, Fan Si Zhe is a bit of a headache, helplessly looked at his elder brother, said: “Ye family even sold arms that year, helped us Daqing dynasty hard to break the Northern Wei …… those people in the north do not like her much … …To say the means of doing business, hold the moon building …… I but used some underhanded means, Yuan everyone but killed a few prostitutes, Ye family that hostess but I do not know how many more wronged souls in the world, brother, that …… ”
Fan Xian was momentarily speechless, waved his hand in a bored manner, stopping Fan Sichert from continuing the comparison, and said, “In short, bullying the weak and small things like this, is always nothing too interesting.”
Fan Si Zhe suddenly said sadly, “Brother, I really don’t want to leave Kyoto.” He also said, “My father and mother are in the capital, and brother is doing his filial piety on behalf of my child.” He knew that only if he stayed away from Kyoto would the matter of the Moon Embracing Tower truly be put to rest, and the sharp weapon that the Second Prince had used to pull the Fan family together would disappear without a trace, and although Fan Xian had always been adamant in not admitting this, looking at his father’s decision, it was clear that he had indeed brought some trouble to the family.
And after Fan Xian’s words, some impulses welled up in the fourteen year old’s heart, if in life, he could really reach the realm of the Mistress of the Ye family back then – how fulfilling would that be?
Fan Xian nodded and responded, and then attached himself to his ear and gently said a few words about something, finally handing over a clear account of a few people he could trust in the Upper Capital.
Fan Si Zhe suddenly heard the true intentions of his elder brother, for a time, he could not help but be a little dumbfounded, the inner treasury …… smuggled to the north …… Cui family …… such a huge number of silver and money …… own have this ability?
