Chapter 49 Chen Yuan has guests
The swing got higher and higher, suddenly Si Si seemed to see something high up in the air, hurriedly stopped pedaling the board and let the swing slow down, and before the swing came to a complete stop, she jumped down in a hurry, and without even putting on her shoes when she landed on the grass, she ran towards Fan Xian’s side.
The several little maids holding up the side were startled, and Siqi was about to tease her for a few moments, but looking at her demeanor, she wisely kept her mouth shut. Even the three masters on this side felt puzzled, thinking to themselves, what is this girl mad about? Why is she so panicked, with the power of the Fan family, what kind of visitors would she be afraid of in Kyoto? Unless it is the eunuch leading the forbidden army to raid the house.
“The entrance to the mansion …… is Prince Jing’s carriage!”
Si Si panted and ran to Fan Xian’s soft couch, rubbing her heaving chest and said. Fan Xian was stunned and immediately snapped out of it, leaping up from his soft couch and shouting, “Retreat!” While running towards the back of the garden, he didn’t forget to turn around and praise Si Si, “Girl, smart.”
Seeing this sharp and incomparable hands, where does it look like a patient who can’t go to court? The soft couch next to the Wan Er and Ruoruo puzzled to look at each other, but also immediately woke up to the face of a slight change in color, hurriedly stood up, commanded the subordinates to arrange matters out of the house, and shouted at the vine everyone’s hurry to set the car.
For a time, the previous is still a piece of laughter in the back garden of the Fan residence, immediately turned into a big battle before the grain horse field. The people were busy, packing up the soft couch, avoiding the soft couch, avoiding the most urgent to find clothes for the masters, busy for a while, finally with the shortest time, packed up everything, Fan Xian embraced to the back door of the back of the mansion. At this time, Fuji Zijing also personally pulled the carriage line to the door.
“This is still sick, so you have to hide somewhere.” Wan’er draped a somewhat thick windbreaker over Fan Xian’s body and complained, “Little uncle is also really bad, I’ve already said that I don’t need to come and see.”
Fan Xian didn’t have time to answer her, and fought his way into the carriage like a partisan.
Lin Wan’er mockingly smiled, turned her face to see that her little aunt was also full of nervousness, holding a small incense burner as she followed Fan Xian into the carriage, and could not help but be surprised, saying, “Ruoruo, what are you hiding from again?”
The reason why when Si Si saw the carriage of King Jing’s family, Fan Xian had to flee, Wan Er as his wife naturally understood the reasoning behind it. Recently, the Fan family and the second prince’s faction were fighting, Li Hongcheng had been splashed with a lot of dirty water by Fan Xian, and had been banned from the royal residence by the King of Jing in recent days, and the King of Jing had come at this time, needless to say, firstly to find Fan Shangshu to ask what was going on, and secondly to talk to Fan Xian, and thirdly, needless to think and know, it was definitely to say a few words for the world’s son, and to help the two parties to speak to each other and to speak to each other on the way.
The emperor’s own brother came, and for so many years Fan’s children have respected King Jing as an elder, getting along very well, if the other side came to talk to and talk to and talk to, what can Fan Xian have to do? And Fan Xian is not likely to truce with the second prince’s faction at this time, not to mention a few more words, to the old flower farmer’s bones of cunning wisdom, which will not guess that Fan Xian is in the planting of Li Hongcheng. Fan Xian is afraid of this old generation of children full of foul language, the other identity of the generation and can be crushed to death their own, what can they have at every turn? So, of course, had to pat his butt, hurry to go, thirty-six plans, escape for the upper plan.
Listening to the sister-in-law asked, always expression serene Fan Ruoruo extremely embarrassed back a bitter smile, embarrassment, said: “Sister-in-law, this time to meet how embarrassing.”
Wan Er froze after hearing this, and immediately thought, her own family had bullied Li Hong Cheng for several days, and the reputation of the Jing Wang Mansion was stigmatized by her husband, so it was indeed not very appropriate for Ruoruo to go and meet the future eunuch at this time. Suddenly she thought of her husband and sister-in-law are hiding, they stay in the house that can do? How to say, the person who came is also his own brother-in-law, and the brother-in-law that mouth …… Wan Er hit a cold, turned his hand from the hands of the four qi to take down his warm robe, a low head also drilled into the carriage.
The brother and sister in the carriage froze and asked, “Why did you also come in?”
Wan Er blankly glanced at the two of them, “Little uncle came to the door to ask for punishment, do you want me to take the blame alone? I am not that stupid.”
The Fan House subordinates above and below the carriage knew that old prince’s temperament very well, and seeing that these three young masters of their own family were scared like this, they couldn’t help but laugh as well. Right in the midst of the low laughter, Tou Zi Jing waved his horse whip, and the Fan Mansion’s carriage, which was printed with the Fang Yuan logo, drove out silently, with the voices of a few young people complaining to each other faintly coming from the carriage.
The carriage was extremely careful not to use the main street, but to make a detour and get out of the southern city without being seen by the subordinates of King Jing’s family. Watching the carriage disappear at the end of the street, the subordinates of the Fan family at the entrance immediately dispersed. Not long after, they heard a voice like a bell ringing through the back garden of the Fan Mansion.
“I’ll fuck him up!” Prince Jing stood in front of a large number of uneasy looking subordinates, crossed his old waist, looked at the empty and lonely back garden, even the rats did not have a single one left, angry, “These little bastards know that the old man is coming, just like a fart to hide, am I so scary?”
At the front of the crowd, Liu, the nominal mother of Fan Xian’s trio, heard the king’s words, “Fuck him,” and couldn’t help but look a little sad, and lowered her voice to reply, “Your Highness, I’ve already told you that the kids went to the west city to see the doctor today. West City to see a doctor.”
Prince Jing looked at the swing that was still swinging slightly, pooh-poohed it and cursed, “Fan Jian’s illness was cured by Fan Xian, he still needs to see a fart doctor!”
Not to mention the fact that Prince Jing was still mad at the air in the backyard, the three young people in the carriage were in a relaxed mood, feeling that the air in the fall of Kyoto was much more refreshing, and their moods were very good.
Since Fan Xian played North Qi after returning to the country, there have been a series of things, not to mention the family to Cangshan Mountain vacation, go to the outskirts of the capital of the village rest, even the Kyoto has not been how to properly stroll through, the whole day is not to play with the conspiracy, is to play a trick, in the mansion of their own and their own sulking. These days the situation has been finalized, a little free some, but also because he pretends to be sick not to go to court, always have to give enough face to his majesty, embarrassed to openly wandering in the street, so have to be with his wife and sister at home nagging to the mouth dry.
Fortunately, Prince Jing came today, and I thought that Shangshu Fan would not be angry at Fan Xian’s flight, which gave the three of them a chance to sneak around Kyoto.
Sitting in the carriage, Fan Xian lifted the curtains a small crack and looked greedily at the scenery and people on the street with the two girls. Those stalls selling snacks kept yelling, and there were some selling rare things on the street corners, a peaceful scene.
Wan Er beamed and said, “This out is out, but it’s not convenient to get out of the car, can’t we just be bored in the car?”
Ruo Ruo also frowned and said, “Brother at this time and inconvenient to show his face ……,” she suddenly said, “But brother you can disguise yourself, right?”
Fan Xian let out a laugh and said, “Even if the people of the capital can’t recognize me, can they not recognize you two flowers of the capital?” Knowing that he was telling a lie, both Wan Er and Ruo Ruo were still somewhat vaguely pleased. Girls were really good at coaxing.
“Let’s go to the One Stone Residence to eat.” Wan Er sat a little bored and came up with the idea, “Clear a quiet compartment out on the third floor, no one will see us. You can also take a look at the scenery.”
Coincidentally, the carriage had just passed by the downstairs of the Yishi Residence at this time. Fan Xian looked out of the window and suddenly thought that the first time he went shopping after coming to Kyoto from Tanyuzhou, he and his sister and brother ate at Yishi Ju. What was said at that time has been forgotten, it seems to be related to the bones of the wind, but I do remember punching Guo Baokun, and buying a pirated copy of the book of stones from the friendly middle-aged woman underneath the building.
Guo family has been their own whole down, that the Secretary of the Ministry of Rites Guo Youzhi because of the case of the Chun exam was hanged in the heavenly prison, but the case did not implicate, so I do not know that Guo Baokun Gongzi exuded to where.
He did not answer Waner s words, but slightly regretful said, “A stone residence …… downstairs, how no more book vendors?”
Fan Ruo Ruo glanced at him and said softly, “After my brother opened the Tanya Bookstore, Si Zhe went to find some people, so the officials checked a little more …… tightly and there were many fewer book vendors in Kyoto.”
Fan Xian was slightly stunned, and only then did he remember that his younger brother had once said that he wanted black and white to come out in unison to cut off the business of those who sold pirated copies. Thinking of this section, he naturally remembered Fan Sithe, who was now on his way north, and subconsciously opened his mouth, “Sithe should be able to arrive in Shangjing early next month.”
The carriage was quiet for a moment, and Wan Er and Ruo Ruo exchanged glances before saying softly after a long time, “It’s quite cold in the north, and I don’t know if I’ve brought enough clothes.”
Fan Xian lowered his head and smiled slightly, saying, “Don’t worry about this matter …… He’s fourteen and will take care of himself.” Although so said, how the heart is another thing, at least Fan idle on the second prince side is more bad feeling, and then look at the family a stone residence is also extraordinarily bad eye, coldly said: “Cui family’s industry, is to send silver to the second, I do not go to take care of his family business.”
Wan Er at this time is not good to say anything, after all, the second prince and she also stayed together in the palace for nearly ten years of time, there is always some feelings, although the fight between the phoenix and cousin, she is very sensible to choose the silence and the support of Fan Xian secretly, but it is always not good to mouth bad words. At this time, looking at the atmosphere a little depressed, she heatedly smiled and said, “Since we don’t support his industry, then we have to support our own industry …… or else ……”
Her eyes turned, said with a smile, “Let’s go to hold the moon building.”
“Let’s go to the Moon House? Fan Xian was almost not scared to death by this proposal, coughed twice, and said with a straight face, “The Moon Embracing House is not my property, it’s Shi Yanli’s.”
Wan Er blankly glanced at him and said, “Who doesn’t know that it’s a blindfold, you can open a greenhouse if you want to, it’s not like I said anything.”
Ruo Ruo inclined her head to the side and stifled a laugh.
Fan Xian raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, “How is it that I’m the one opening the youth house, you know full well that I’m wiping my brother’s ass for him.”
Wan Er did not comply and said, “Anyway, it’s a family business, didn’t you say that the food cooked there is one of the best in the capital? It’s not like we’re going to look for a girl, what are we afraid of just eating the food? And since it’s our own business, we don’t have to worry about the news of you pretending to be sick and wandering around being known by others.”
Fan Xian flatly refused, “If you want to eat, I’ll have the chef in the building make it and send it to the mansion, what’s it like for a girl to sit around in a green building?”
Wan Er mischievously spat out her tongue. Saying, “Send the dishes when they’re done, they’ll all be cold.”
Fan Xian didn’t have the heart to say, “Then call the cook home, right?”
Seeing his insistence, Wan’er couldn’t help but sigh, saying with a thousand pities, “Rather, I really want to go to the Moon Embracing House to sit down and see what Little Uncle’s entire greenhouse looks like.” She blinked her big eyes and said, “Honestly, I’m really quite curious about this kind of place.”
Ruo Ruo, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up and said, “Just stroll around and go ……” She looked at Fan Xian as he was about to speak, and grabbed the opportunity to block the way, “It’s not decent for a girl to sit around in a greenhouse, but is it decent for you big old men to sit around? ”
She smiled and propped up her jaw on top of the window, “Furthermore, I heard my brother say that you let that Miss Sang preside over the business of the Moon Building, and I haven’t listened to Miss Sang sing a tune for half a year now, so if I don’t go to the Moon Building, where can I go to listen to it?”
Wan Er saw her sister-in-law agreeing with her opinion, her guts increased greatly, shyly begging Fan Xian, “You know I like to listen to Sang Wen singing tunes, I haven’t seen anyone for most half a year, and now I know that it was snatched by the detestable brother-in-law to hold the moon building, so you just take us there.”
Ruo Ruo continued, “If men can go there, why can’t we go there?”
Fan Xian was speechless for a moment, paying attention to measure his sister for a few eyes, and found that this girl now seems to be more and more sharp and bold, and thinking ideas and other women in the world is really different, just look at the previous conversation, she is obviously more than the Wan Er to appear to be righteous, reasonable and powerful women’s rights of the much. Of course, this is the first to blame their own education of her from childhood, but always feel that the girl revealed the extraordinary temperament, but also from other places.
He laughed bitterly and said, “In fact, look at the pour really no defense, you know, I am also a favorite shocking guy, but …… recently the capital is restless, I do not want to let those speech officials have too much can say.”
As soon as they heard him lay out his business, Wan’er and Ruo Ruo both knowingly stopped their mouths.
Fan Xian twisted his head to look out of the car, but was stunned to find that not far ahead, is that noble atmosphere in full with Qing Mei gas holding the moon building front building, can not help but laugh and scolded to drive the car of the Tou Zi Jing: “You really pull to here? You only know how to coax your own female master, do not know to obey my meaning, do you still want to go to the East China Sea County to be an official? You know your family’s already told me several times.”
Fuji Zijing laughed innocently and didn’t say anything, on the contrary, Wan Er and Ruo Ruo covered their mouths and laughed.
The Fan Mansion carriage arrived at the Moon Embracing Building, and although they didn’t know that it was Fan Xian sitting in the car, those shrewd know-it-alls at the Moon Embracing Building dared to be disrespectful? Even in the third floor room will recuperate himself in the Kyoto House stick injury Shi Qing’er …… are limping down to wait, to see the car is actually the legendary seriously ill Fan Ti Si, Shi Qing’er can not help but bluffed a jump.
Can see the legendary young pimp, the car two status of the noble lady some satisfaction, but to their disappointment, Sang Wen is not even in the building, said to be which house invited to sing songs.
Less this excuse, of course, Fan Xian will not allow them to go to hold the moon building crazy, but the heart is also a bit puzzled, now Sang Wen is already free, but also secretly into the Supervisory Yuan, do not need to see the face of the other princes and nobles in Kyoto, how can you still go to other people’s residence to sing songs? Who’s residence can have such a big face?
The carriage drove away from the Moon House, looking at the two girls who were somewhat depressed and disappointed, Fan Xian smiled and comforted, “Since you are out to play, you have to be happier. …… Moon House is not the most luxurious place in Kyoto, and the food made by the cooks here is not the most delicious.”
Words have not finished, Wan Er snatched the first said, “Do not want to cheat us, this hold the moon building’s reputation is now really loud, to say that this home is not yet …… unless you say it is the palace.” She said with a cheeky grin, “I wouldn’t mind going into the palace to see those ladies, anyway, there are also some days gone …… But Xianggong you, are you not afraid of His Majesty’s wrath after seeing you pretending to be sick in the palace?”
Fan Xian laughed and twisted the tip of her nose: “Don’t curse me …… I’ll take you to a place that’s definitely more comfortable than the palace, and the dishes that are made, even the imperial chef can’t compare.”
The two girls were amazed, thinking that under the Pu Tian is not the king’s land, how can there be a place more luxurious than the palace? Even if those salt merchants imperial merchants have this kind of strength, but also do not have the courage to violate this kind of system ah.
The carriage drove out of the south gate of Kyoto, to the outskirts of the pedestrians became sparse up, those in the dark to protect Fan Xian Qi Nian group of spies and Fan House guards, had to awkwardly show up, some puzzled to look at each other, and then the boss is uncomfortable to follow the back of the carriage not far away, along with the carriage to the outskirts of the capital of a quiet hill to travel to.
Closer to the mountain, the mountain road is no longer narrow, still maintains the system of the first level of official road of the State of Qing, but the mountain forest beside the road is even more secluded, the beauty of the scene comes to the face, the yellow autumn grass mixed with unfading wild flowers, white skin and green branches of light sparse leaves of the woods distributed in the grass, countless pieces of layered sense of rich color, like a painter painted general, naturally in the surrounding mountains and forests spread out, beautiful to the extreme.
Lin Wan Er and Fan Ruo Ruo couldn’t help but sigh, the scenery here is really excellent, just how is it that they haven’t heard anyone mention it? Even the outing trekking in previous years didn’t seem to have come here. According to reason, this kind of good place, should have long been the palace or which is a high-powered minister seized to repair the other house, why they do not know whose family? However, looking at the width of the mountain path, I can guess that the residence I’m going to go to later on, must be the residence of a very important person.
Seeing Fan Xian still playing games, the two girls were both a bit unhappy, so they shut up and didn’t talk to him, just enjoying the surrounding scenery.
The mountain road is gradually finished, the carriage turned a forest, a manor covering a very wide area just so suddenly appeared in front of everyone, like the place where the gods live, suddenly dialed away the magic spells of the clouds, appeared in front of the eyes of the mortals. The manor’s buildings are not tall, but the distribution is extremely appropriate, and the garden’s short trees and green stones are mixed, darkly in line with the natural reasoning, although not flashy, but the details of those cornices and door buttons, but obviously reveals the air of purity and nobility.
“How is it compared to the imperial palace?” Fan Xian asked with a smile.
Lin Wan’er closed her surprised mouth and laughed shamefully, “…… Each has its own splendor …… but it’s not our family’s manor, what are you complacent about?”
Fan Xian waved his hand and said, “The owner of this room did say that he would give it to me in the future, but I think it’s generally bad here and I don’t want to move over.”
At this time, even Ruo Ruo was shocked and said in surprise, “What’s so bad about it?”
“Too many women.” Fan Xian said with a straight face, “I don’t know how many stunning beauties are hidden in this manor.”
Ignoring the consternation of the two girls beside him, the carriage came to a halt under Fan Xian’s command, and he got out of the carriage under the watchful eyes of the two girls, taking out the sign of the tishee from his waist, and stretching it out into the grass beside him quite abruptly.
A man appeared in the grass like a magic trick, the man was wearing very unusual clothes, like a common woodcutter in the mountains, this woodcutter carefully examined the waist plate, and stared at Fan Xian for half a day, before he said with a great deal of embarrassment, “My lord, this is a dead rule, please forgive me.”
“I’m not blaming you.” Fan Xian smiled and said, “In the car are my daughter-in-law and sister.”
The woodcutter didn’t dare to respond to anything, and respectfully retreated, seeking another inconspicuous lurking spot.
The carriage restarted and went along the mountain road to the manor, the road was incredibly quiet. But at this time the two girls in the carriage can guess, this road must be no worse than the palace guard, can even be said to kill every step, even if a small army wants to attack in, I’m afraid that will fail miserably and return.
Of course, these two girls were smart as ice, and at this time, they also finally guessed who the owner of this mountain villa was.
To be able to have a higher level of enjoyment than the imperial palace, to be able to live in such a garden, to be able to have such a strict defense, besides that master of the Supervisory Academy, who else could it be?
At the back of the carriage, the two groups of people who had been responsible for protecting the carriage were also extremely smart to stop their advance from afar, and helplessly squatted down and started herding sheep. Having already arrived at this place, where was the need for these people of their own to act as bodyguards.
Su Wenmao, today’s leader of the Qi Nian group, nodded to the head of the guards of the Fan House over there.
That head of the guards also returned the salute somewhat awkwardly.
“Be content.” Su Wenmao smiled and said to his counterparts on that side of the road, “People like us, being able to be so close to the courtyard of Lord Dean …… is also considered to be thanks to the blessings of Lord Tiji.”
“That’s right.” The head of the guards looked somewhat enviously at the beautiful manor in the distance.
Then both sides sat in the grass and started chewing grass roots, letting off steam, getting bored, looking at the sky, and yawning.
The beautiful manor was inhabited by Chen Pingping, the old cripple who had the most power in the entire country of Qing except for His Majesty the Emperor. Unlike the general civil and military officials, Chen Pingping’s position in the court of Qing is too special, and has always claimed to be sick and refused to go to court, which is why he has the time to live in the garden outside of the city for many years, and that home in the capital basically did not live much.
Today, Fan Xian, a small pretender to illness, came to see Chen Pingping, an old pretender to illness. After all, he had been here a few times, so he was familiar with the way, and went straight to the entrance of the garden, where the plaque had two big words written on it in splashed ink – “Chen Garden”, which was personally inscribed by the late emperor, and was precious beyond compare.
He looked at the two carriages parked outside the gate and couldn’t help but frown. It never occurred to him that there were actually guests in the garden today, with Chen Pingping’s kind of lonely and cold temperament, and the reputation of the Supervisory Yuan as being all-abominable, the average courtier would never come running to have tea – who was the guest that came today?
Wan’er got out of the carriage behind him, and with just a glance, she recognized the markings of the first carriage and said with a smile, “Someone from the royal family.”
Fan Xian was slightly stunned.
That old family member at the entrance of Chen Yuan had long since flown down the steps to greet him, knowing that the young Lord Fan in front of him was different from all the officials under the heavens, and that he was the most valued offspring of his own Lord Dean, and even more so, Lord Dean’s hand-picked successor, so naturally he didn’t dare to take the pie, and said with extreme courtesy and at the same time, in an extremely low voice, “It’s the Prince of Harmony and the Privy Council’s young Lord Qin. ”
Fan Xian inclined his head and scratched the back of his neck which was a bit itchy, the Grand Prince and Little Qin? He knew that that Lord Xiao Qin was now also deliberating under the door, and was already an important minister who had entered the center of the court, and the most crucial thing was that above Xiao Qin there was also Old Qin, that former dean of the military court and now the Privy Council’s main envoy, General Old Qin, a family of bulls with extremely deep influence in the military of the Kingdom of Qing. The great prince fought in the west for several years, and the Qin family has a very shallow relationship, such two people ran to Chen Pingping’s house, what are they doing?
Fan Xian stood at the bottom of the stone steps, not rushing in, but wondering if the other party would have anything to do with himself in this visit, even though the relationship between the military and the Supervisory Yuan had always been very amicable, there was still something strange about this. He smiled, also do not care about his excursion thing by the court know, then take his wife and sister toward the garden, he would like to see, this big prince and stored what kind of mind.
Passing through the extremely beautiful and decorated round pavilion with flowing water, he finally came to Chen Pingping’s main hall where she was treating guests. Without waiting for anyone to inform him, Fan Xian broke into the room with a big stride, and didn’t want to say anything, but as soon as he looked at the corner of the hall where the Sang Wen girl was singing a song with a troubled face, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud and said, “I guessed that, the whole of Kyoto dares to pull the Sang girl to sing a song by force, and you’re the only one who does it.”
It turns out that Sang Wen, who is not in the Moon Embracing Building, is actually in the middle of the Chen Garden!
Sang Wen was the treasurer of the Moon Embracing House, and a newcomer to the Supervisory Yuan, Chen Pingping pulled her to sing a song, of course it was just a matter of saying a few words.
Laughter echoed in the hall, Chen Pingping who was sitting on the main seat raised her eyes with a smirk, looking at the three young men and women who had arrived unannounced, there was a hint of warmth in her consistently chilly eyes, her withered hands gently caressing the gray woolen blanket that had remained unchanged for many years in her lap, and scolded with a smile, ”Didn’t you dislike the fact that I have too many women here? Why are you here today? Come as you are, and bring your own wife and sister with you, aren’t you afraid that I will call for some women to eat you alive?”
The two young men sitting on the guest seats were slightly startled, turning their heads to look in the direction of the hall’s entrance, and for a moment they could not help but freeze. On the contrary, it was Sang Wen who stopped his tune and stood up with a smile on his face, bowing to Fan Xian and the two girls.
A few moments later, the young man who was dressed in civilian clothes, but still couldn’t stop the characteristic military temperament from permeating his body, stood up and first saluted Wan’er behind Fan Xian with great courtesy, and then greeted Fan Ruo Ruo gently, before he said to Fan Xian with a smile on his face, “Sir Fan, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”
Fan Xian had met Qin Heng before, knowing that the other party had an excellent family background and was highly appreciated by His Majesty, and that he was a rising star in the court of Qing, with an unlimited future, so he bowed his hand and returned his salute, “Greetings, Lord Xiao Qin.”
Although Qin Heng’s rank was still above Fan Xian’s, the two sides knew each other’s strengths and positions, so there was no need to play those false sets. Qin Heng warmly smiled and said, “Today, I came to visit the dean, but I didn’t expect to see Lord Tisch, so I’m really lucky.”
Fan Xian saw that his smile didn’t seem to be fake, and his heart was also comfortable, so he said, “Not to say that we’ll be close again in the future, but since we met today, we naturally have to drink a few cups.”
Qin Heng laughed out loud and said, “Fan Ti Si is really a wonderful person, acting unexpectedly, never mentioning the matter of claiming to be sick and not going to court, instead, he wants to enjoy drinking, so I can’t even open my mouth if I want to make fun of him for a few moments.”
Fan Xian glanced at Chen Pingping, who was sitting in the main seat, and laughed bitterly, “Of course, as juniors, we still have to see if the host family is willing to treat guests with good wine.”
Chen Pingping opened her mouth and scolded, “You are richer than Lao Fu!”
Qin Heng’s face did not change color and contained a slight smile, but his heart thumped with immense shock. The courtiers had always thought that Fan Xian was able to have such a good time in the Supervisory Academy, mainly because of His Majesty’s appreciation and advanced training, but at this time, when he saw Fan Xian talking to Dean Chen, who was feared by everyone, he was so “no big deal”, and Dean Chen’s response was so natural, he felt a hint of abnormality, and it seemed that the relationship between Dean Chen and this Fan Tisi was extraordinary! …… is really extraordinary!
His Majesty s appreciation is certainly important, but the most important thing to really be able to control the Supervisory Yuan …… is still Chen Pingping s attitude. Until this time, Qin Heng truly realized that the young man called Fan Xian in front of him, one day, will really control the Supervisory Yuan firmly in his hands, then the military …… befriending the speed of this person, must be accelerated a little bit, and no longer just their own under the door to say a few words for Fan Xian, and then through the mouths of other people to the Fan House to convey The goodwill of the Fan House is passed on through the mouths of others.
However, after a few lines of conversation, a lot of useful information had been exchanged, and Fan Xian also understood that Chen Pingping was taking this opportunity to express his own truest attitude to the military and to strengthen his leverage.
After the two of them exchanged pleasantries for some time, Fan Xian seemed to have reacted, and turned around to salute the Grand Prince, who was sitting on the side.
According to reason, this move of his is really some rudeness, but the people in the hall all know that he and the grand prince had a falling out the first time they met, and Qin Heng and the grand prince befriended each other, so it’s not very concerned about this matter, as for Chen Pingping …… he doesn’t care about any palace etiquette and other crap.
Just when Fan Xian thought that the great prince would be angry, he turned his head to look, but he nearly gasped, only to see his wife is sitting on the side of the great prince, smiling and saying something with the great prince – mother, although it is clear that Wan Er has been raised in Ning Cai Ren’s palace since childhood, which is equivalent to saying that the great prince watched her grow up, and the two favorites Although he knew that Wan Er had been raised in Ning’s palace since she was a child, it was equivalent to saying that the eldest prince had watched her grow up, and that the two of them were very close.
What’s even more upsetting is that Lian Ruo Ruo is actually sitting at the bottom of the table, listening to the Grand Prince with great interest!
Fan Xian pricked up his ears and listened for a few moments before realizing that the Grand Prince was telling a story about the western conquests and the competition with the Hu people for horses. Qing people are good at martial arts, the eldest prince has been on the border for many years, is the folk hero idol character, even Wan Er and Ruo Ruo can not be out of the ordinary.
Fan Xian heart some taste, mouth some bitter, thinking about the little master …… little master …… little master is a pacifist, or also go to fight a few wars to let you little girls look at their own horse might. He was upset in his heart, but there was not a trace of reaction on his face, instead, he was smiling, extremely natural to the great prince salute, said: “My official Fan Xian, see the great palace under the …… Oh, it is the Prince of Harmony.”
The great prince looked at Fan Xian, the heart was a little stifled, at this time listening to his accent, couldn’t help but open his mouth and said, “I said Fan Xian …… this king is not where to offend you? When you see each other, if you don’t stab this king a few times, you don’t feel any pain in your heart?” He turned his head to Lin Wan’er and said, “Chen’er, this husband you married …… is really not good.”
Lin Wan’er and the great prince familiar can not be familiar, see him say his own malefactor, where willing to comply, directly from the table on a few take a fruit into his mouth, said: “Which have a meet on this say their brother-in-law?”
Fan Xian laughed, brother-in-law this two words are better to hear, he went to Ruo Ruo below to sit, there are Chen Garden underlings to send hot towels and tea and so on, although know that the great prince and Qin Heng to find the old cripple must have important things, but he is deadbeat to stay in the hall, not to give each other the opportunity to speak naturally.
Lin Wan’er knew that outside of Kyoto, the mission and the Western Expeditionary Army fought over the road, this thing is actually in the end really Fan Xian’s not, but she is also clear about Fan Xian’s reasons for doing so, but since now there is already the second prince as a target, Fan Xian is no need to offend a big prince, and she herself also very much do not want to watch the clash between her own malefactor and the closest big brother, and so subconsciously pulls the two of them to talk, wanting to ease the relationship of the two of them. So subconsciously, she pulled the two of them to talk, wanting to ease the relationship between the two of them.
This move, we all know, but men, there will always be a time when you can not see through, so the eyes of the great prince, nose, nose, pay no attention to, Fan Xian just smiling and Qin Heng talking to each other, asking each other how the old Qin general’s health, when to take the time to go to the house to visit visit.
Chen Pingping looked like he was asleep, half lying on the wheelchair, it was strange to say that even in his own rich and extravagant home, he still insisted on sitting on the wheelchair instead of the more comfortable couch. Seeing this situation, Lin Wan’er had no choice but to sigh, but Ruo Ruo laughed on the sidelines, a great prince who was capable of fighting, a young minister who was just in the middle of the dynasty, actually fighting like two little boys, this scene was really a bit comical.
Finally even Qin Heng feel and Fan Xian fast chat can’t go on, the big prince just suddenly coldly said: “I heard that Fan Tisi recently seriously ill in bed, can’t go to the court, even all inspectorates Sen you can’t go on folding self-defense, don’t want to today but this kind of have swimming …….”
Fan Xian yawned and said, “Tomorrow will go to court, tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow.”
Qin Heng froze, thinking, “Could it be that you’re not going to play sick? Then tomorrow the court will have a lively look …… just …… himself was dragged by the Grand Imperial Palace to Chen Garden to say that thing, in front of you Fan Xian’s face, can not be good to speak.
He is not good to open his mouth, the great prince is bright and ruthless, directly towards Chen Pingping said respectfully: “Uncle, the thing of the oldest two, you send a word …… “He inclined his head to look at Fan Xian, continued:” The court I don’t care about things in the court, but those rumors in the capital are too ridiculous, and those officials under Lao Er’s door, there are really several of them who have some real talent, so if they go down like this, it’s a loss for the court.”
Qin Heng thought to himself, “You’re really a bachelor, in front of Fan Tisi, you’re going to refute his face, but when it comes down to it, he can only laugh bitterly, “Yes, Mr. Dean, His Majesty has been refusing to say anything, if you don’t step in, and if things go on, it won’t be a good look on the court’s face either.”
Fan Xian smiled, these two were really bright and open-minded. The intention of the eldest prince and Qin Heng was very clear, the second prince’s faction had been pressurized by the Supervisory Board, and it was not good to personally step in, so they had to beg their own big brother to step in, and pulled on the Privy Council’s Qin family, and the other side directly looking for Chen Pingping was really a superb reckoning, this was not digging in their own corner, but rather pumping the firewood underneath their own pots- If Chen Pingping really asked Fan Xian to stop, he had no choice but to respond.
However, the benefits that should be gained have already been gained, the Kyoto Prefect has been withdrawn, and those officials in the six ministries who were sent by the second prince have all fallen into greater or lesser bad luck, Fan Xian is not very concerned about all this, but instead cares about that name call that the great prince made earlier.
He called Chen Pingping his uncle!
Even though Chen Pingping’s strength was unfathomable, and how close he was to His Majesty, it was still not polite for the Grand Prince to address his uncle, and it would only scare people to death if he said it. It is King Jing, and can not be a minister.
When he was thinking, Chen Pingping had opened his somewhat godless eyes, gently coughed twice, and said, “The thing of the oldest two will stay and say, I said ah ……” He pointed to Lin Waner and Ruo Ruo, coughing, “Cough …… Cough …… you two girls come to my garden for the first time, how come you don’t say hello to the host family?”
In fact, there are not many people who are not afraid of Chen Pingping, especially in many legends and stories, Chen Pingping was successfully portrayed as an image of a dark devil who is bad in behavior, Lin Wan’er and Fan Ruo Ruo’s identity, although the noble, but in the face of the leader of the dark forces of the State of Qing, there is still some fear from the heart through, so as soon as he entered the hall, he hurriedly sat down next to the Grand Prince.
At this time, listening to the old man open his mouth, under the necessity, Lin Wan’er and Ruo Ruo stood up with a bitter face, walked to Chen Pingping and made a blessing in front of her, performing a junior’s salute.
Chen Pingping let out a laugh and opened her mouth, “What are you afraid of? One of you is a mom and one of you is a dad …… not much better than me.” This was naturally talking about the eldest princess and the old and cunning Fan Shangshu. He then said to the grand prince: “The thing you said, the main lord since he has already come, you directly talk to him …… he can make the decision. Your Highness, Miss Fan, help the old man push his wheelchair, old man will take you to see the Chen Garden’s collection.”
The two ladies and Sang Wen pushed the old cripple’s wheelchair and left the hall, leaving only Fan Xian’s Grand Prince Qin Heng and the three of them to look at each other in dismay, thinking to themselves that this old man was doing things too unorthodoxly, leaving the battlefield of his own home to the younger generations to fight over while he himself took the three flowery beauties to go wandering through the gardens.
