Chapter 78: Leaving the Former Trouble (Next)
New Year’s Nayu Celebration, Jiajie No. Changchun, another annual New Year’s festival undoubtedly, not delayed, very uninspired arrival.
This winter Fan Xian most of the time did not stay in the Cangshan Mountain, coupled with the later out of those things, scared Wan Er and Ruo Ruo also ran back to Kyoto, the people to the Qi, only missing Fan Lao Er one, so the Fan House good lively.
House in front of the red confetti fried thick layer, like a carpet of great joy, the air is filled with the smell of fireworks, some smoky nose, some slightly sweet, big kitchen kitchen in the big fish and meat, but also let the master of the underlings feel that this life is not too happy, thanks to the young master to catch the stagnation of the medicine is very useful ……
On the evening of the 30th, the palace gave a few large plates of food, and some knick-knacks. Fan Xian didn’t pay much attention to it, but just had a difficult conversation with his wife and sister in the room, and after slightly solving the confusion of the two beauties, without waiting for the two girls to wake up from their shock and endless confusion, he led them to the front house.
After a New Year’s dinner was hastily eaten, the family gathered around to play a few rounds of mahjong, Fan Xian lying behind Wan’er’s back holding her bladder, occasionally coming up with some bad ideas, successfully losing a lot of silver to the two elders, and deliberately picking a few classic jokes from the past life, finally relieving some of the strange mood on the table.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the young people struggled to wake up after the vigil and went to the front hall to perform the New Year’s rites.
Fan Xian wasn’t sloppy at all, and literally knelt to the ground, calm as usual in the crowd’s strange gaze, and kowtowed three times to his father, thumping three times, his forehead in close contact with the ground.
Elder Fan stroked his whiskers and laughed softly, indescribably comforting.
The girls and women went out to knead soup dumplings for fun, and there were only some bachelors left in the front house on the first day of the year. Fan Xian walked behind his father, gently rubbing his shoulders, since the rumors spread, perhaps broken the heart of the devil, Fan Xian is no longer separated from behind the curtain, began to show as a son of man should be emotion, the distance between father and son, but to be more than the past seems to be a lot of cordial.
Fan Jian, the Minister of the Household, nourished his spirit while enjoying his son’s ministrations, and asked, “How is Si Zhe over there?”
Fan Xian respectfully replied, “It’s not bad, Wang Qinian is a resourceful person.”
Fan Jian said with a slight smile, “You have many acquaintances in Northern Qi, for that I am relieved.” He suddenly shook his head, somewhat puzzled and said, “Strange to say, I see that An Zhi you are good to the North people, but don’t forget that there is a deadly feud between our two countries that cannot be resolved, some times it can be utilized without harm, but it can’t be trusted wholesale, especially not to put your last hope in them.”
Fan Xian was slightly stunned, wondering if his father had guessed something, he smiled and explained a few things.
Fan Jian suddenly said with concern, “Elder Fei treated your injuries, how is it going now?”
Fan Xian didn’t want to worry his father, so he didn’t tell the truth about the flow of true qi dissipating, nodding his head and responding, “It’s almost healed. With two more months of recuperation, there should be no need to worry.”
“Two more months?” Fan Jian frowned and said, “Jiangnan is not like Kyoto, the mountains are high and the river is deep and the emperor is far away, your body is not as good as it used to be, you have to be careful with everything, you can’t fight for the first place in everything like these two years, once you make a move, you have to restrain the other party to death……. But wherever you can tolerate someone, let’s tolerate him for the time being, there’s no urgency in a moment. ”
Fan Xian heard the worry in his father’s words, and knew that his elder was reminding himself.
In the capital of the fight, Fan Xian has always been extremely ruthless, even in the face of the Princess and the second prince, he has not retreated, a hand hard bold. Just went to Jiangnan, facing those feudal officials, deep into the Jiangnan family camp, although from the position of power seems to be no one can shake themselves, but no father and Chen Pingping this two mountains behind, they should do things more rounded.
Father and son exchanged views on what would happen after New Year’s Eve, and made a detailed enough analysis of what changes the Princess would bring to the dynasty after she entered the capital. Fan Jian reminded Fan Xian that he should pay attention to Maester Hu, who would be joining the cabinet after the New Year. Fan Xian didn’t understand what his father meant by specifically mentioning that literary master, but still kept the name of that person firmly in his mind.
Fan Jian gently patted the steady, young hand on his shoulder and said with a smile, “It seems that His Majesty is truly prepared to hand over the Supervisory Academy to you, and in the future, when you are in the Academy, he will always look for a literary official in the court whose reputation and status can be a counterpart to yours, and this is for the future.”
Hu bachelor when leading the change of a world of culture, but is a young man in his early twenties, now about forty years old, in the world of the south of the literary reputation of the world, in the Fan idle before the world, is really the wind without a two, just this brother in recent years, the official luck is not good, in the seven road in the displacement, the position of the high and no real power, this time into the capital will be in charge of the door of the Chinese book, but also is considered to be the reuse of the imperial court.
Fan Xian smiled and shook his head, thinking that he does not intend to interfere too much in the government, not to mention that he will not go to provoke that Hu Bachelor, I think he will not take the initiative to provoke himself.
Father and son made a few more small talk, Fan Xian thought that today, the clan still had to pay homage to their ancestors, and asked a tentative question.
Fan Jian looked back at his son, sighed and shook his head, thinking that this child has this heart is a rare thing, but he can show his heart, but he can not let his name into the genealogy, after all, but also to be concerned about the face of the palace.
Fan Xian also just try to see if there is such a possibility, see father’s reaction is very direct, then know that he is still in the delusion, the heart will feel a little uncomfortable.
The morning sun shone warmly in the middle of the Fan family’s garden, and most of the people, including Fan Shangshu, Liu, and Ruo Ruo, had already gone to the Fan clan’s ancestral hall where the Tianzhuang was located, and even the stewards, sisters, and maids had gone to a large number of them, so at this time, only a small number of people were left in the front and back of the mansion, which made it seem extraordinarily quiet.
“I know you want to go.” Wan’er sat beside him and comforted him softly.
Fan Xian was reading a book, the first batch of Zhuang’s Commentary Collection printed out by Tanya Book Bureau, the name was taken by Fan Xian, the words were also inscribed by Fan Xian, according to Seven Leaves, the sales were extremely favorable, the money returned was far faster than imagined, especially since the court of Northern Qi ordered 10,000 copies in one go, which made Fan Xian’s wallet bulge once again.
Listening to his wife’s words, he smiled and raised his head, casually putting the book to one side and hmming, “What? Worried that I can’t think straight?”
Wan Er laughed, “Why aren’t you worried that I won’t be able to think about it?”
Fan Xian lightly stretched his arms and wrapped her in his embrace, pressing against her slightly cool face and asking with concern, “How’s your health these days?”
Wan Er misunderstood what he was saying, and resting her cheeks on his shoulders with a slightly sad look, she said, “There’s no movement yet.”
Fan Xian laughed and said, “Who cares about that unborn daughter? I’m just asking how your health is, Mr. Fei cured me using the method of curing cows, nowadays I’m starting to have some doubts about his standards.”
“There is nothing wrong with the body.” Wan Er thought for a moment and asked curiously, “Why a daughter?”
“Daughters are good, they don’t have to stand on top of the court and do battle every day.” Fan Xian said with a smile. His thinking was, of course, vastly different from the people of this world.
Lin Wan’er slightly pulled away from Fan Xian, pointing to her heart, and said with a cheeky smile, “It’s not good for a girl either, marrying a husband and not knowing who he really is …… It’s not good here.”
Fan Xian’s hand honestly touched toward his wife’s soft breasts, and said with a straight face, “Let me see if the problem is serious.”
The couple laughed and fooled around for a while, but they were not able to leave that matter all behind. Wan Er said quietly, “…… who ever thought that you are …… my cousin.”
“Not good?” Fan Xian smiled and said, “Sister Lin, call Brother Idle to hear.”
Wan Er spat, “Bah! You’re not Baoyu.”
Fan Xian thought that was right, he was much prettier than Jia Baoyu, and with a twinkle in his eye, he left the house. Wan Er did not know what he went to do, so curious, but unexpectedly not a moment’s effort Fan Xian went back to the house, just …… wearing a ragged garment that the subordinates do not often wear!
Lin Wan’er took a look at his little beggar-like outfit, and couldn’t help but let out a giggle.
Fan Xian stared at his eyes, opened his big mouth, and said in a naive and joyful manner, “Cousin …… ah hehehe, ah hehehe …… I finally waited for you!”
Lin Wan’er froze, thought to myself how suddenly crazy, is not shouting his cousin so very fun? She hesitantly asked, “Cousin?”
Fan Xian laughed foolishly, “Alas, I am your cousin, Hong Qi ah ……”
Lin Wan’er was dumbfounded, listening to her husband speaking nonsense in a Jiaozhou accent, half knowing how she should answer. Fan Xian looked at her reaction, also since the disheartened, bowed his head like a defeated soldier, went out and changed his clothes back.
“Sangong, what were you …… doing earlier?”
“Dongchengxi imitation show.” Fan Xian had a bitter face.
“Imitation show?”
“Show ……SHOW also, is what people in the south often say as a tart …… Don’t ask, just think of me as a tart.”
Fan Xian’s level of showmanship is actually very high, after hitting rebirth in this world, he began to play the naive child, play the Poetry Immortal, play the Sage of Love, performance, which was originally his strength, if not, he would not have confidence in the palace, in the small building, can use the performance of the most affectionate, to deceive over the unpredictable His Majesty the Emperor.
But people always need to rest, so he didn’t want to cover up too much in front of his closest people, such as his wife, such as his sister. After her life was revealed, Wan Er, after being shocked, finally gradually accepted the reality, and for the fact that suddenly her brother-in-law became his cousin, there was just the wonderful Romance feeling of adding kisses to kisses.
As for Ruo Ruo, her brother suddenly became a person with no blood relationship, this matter is a bit unthinkable. So these days, Miss Fan had been avoiding Fan Xian consciously or unconsciously, as if she didn’t know how to face her elder brother.
She was so distracted that even Fei Jie’s lessons were confusing, and the house was even more afraid to let her go to the Imperial Hospital to discuss the great matter of saving the sick and the living with those old masters.
“Ruoruo just hasn’t turned a corner.” Wan Er comforted.
Fan Xian laughed bitterly, “I’m still her brother? That fact can’t always be changed.” He closed his eyes and rested for a moment before saying, “After I leave, if things can settle down over there, I’ll pick you up and take you there, and as for my sister, I guess she’ll be leaving the capital soon.”
Lin Wan’er was very happy to hear this and climbed on his shoulder and said, “I heard that the water in Jiangnan is good, and all the characters are born like in a painting. I’ve never traveled far, so I’ll have to have some fun this time.”
Fan Xian teased, “Are you preparing to see a big handsome man.”
Lin Wan’er couldn’t help but laugh at this naughty joke, her round cheeks instantly reddened with shame, and she made a fist and punched at Fan Xian’s body.
Fan Xian laughed, caught her pair of small fists, and said with a straight face, “When the Princess returns to the capital, you must go and take a look.”
When Lin Wan Er heard this, her heart was full of mixed feelings, her intestines were tangled, and she didn’t know how to handle this relationship. Fan Xian comforted, “I know it’s hard, but you must learn to tear this piece of paper into two halves, not to cross each other’s boundaries, each with their own business.”
This matter could not be solved by consolation and persuasion, and Fan Xian understood this, so he had to leave it alone. On the contrary, it is Wan’er who fights her spirit, worrying about the matter of the inner treasury for him, saying, “Sanggong, even if you bring all of Qing Yu Tang’s shopkeepers, I’m afraid that you won’t be able to take charge of the inner treasury in the shortest period of time, after all, mother has been running the business for so many years, and most of those local officials in Jiangnan will have to look at her face.”
After hesitating for a little while, she said seriously, “Especially if you bring the Ye family’s old man down to Jiangnan, it’s easy to cause discussion in the civil court ……”
Fan Xian nodded and said calmly, “I also understand, but this matter must be done, the shopkeepers have been taking care of business for the various royal and public houses all these years, and I can’t fully understand what they really think and whether they can trust me or not …… It’s just that all those things in the inner treasury are really out of the question without them. The reason why the court over the years to keep an eye on them tightly, is because they understand the manufacturing links within the library, this information is the court’s top priority, and can not allow the knowledge of their brains, spread to the North Qi or Dongyi City to go …… just within the library of the various businesses, out of the production of the technology is always in need of guidance, which is to save the life of the. ”
Lin Wan’er was silent for a while, said softly, “Don’t look at these shopkeepers seem to be free to act in the capital, in fact, the side are followed by people for years and years, once they have signs of leakage, the people around them will immediately pounce on them.”
Fan Xian said in a slightly different way, “This I can guess, I just don’t know which side those people are on, I’ve checked in the courtyard, and the Supervisory Court is only responsible for the periphery, the people responsible for silencing the people have not been found out.”
“It’s the people in the palace.” Lin Wan’er said with a worried face, “I guess they will also follow you down to Jiangnan.”
“The eunuchs’ men?” Fan Xian smiled comfortingly, ever since he had entered the capital, he had been on good terms with the eunuchs in the palace, and no matter which palace, which faction of eunuchs, they all deeply regarded Fan Tisi as a confidant.
“Don’t worry about these things.” After thinking about it, he said, “Although the matter of the inner treasury has not yet been carried out, but in fact, the general situation has already been decided …… Your stone royal brother probably has little chance, and the dispute over the emperor’s son will not surface again for at least a couple of years, which, I think, is what His Majesty appreciates the most from me, even though he didn’t say it out loud. ”
Lin Wan’er sighed, staring blankly at her husband, and only after a long time did she say quietly, “Don’t think of things as too simple …… In fact, in my opinion, His Majesty just doesn’t like his own several sons to make trouble …… As for what he actually What does he think, who can know? Let’s just say the second imperial brother, even if he’s currently confined to his home, who knows if he’ll suddenly turn over in the future.”
Fan Xian’s heart fluttered as he listened to his wife continue her analysis.
“The Emperor is a very special person.” Lin Wan’er’s eyes were wide open, her eyes showing a clever cunningness that was completely different from the usual, “He is a generation of monarchs who have climbed up from the blood and fire, his biggest characteristic is his confidence, extremely confident, he simply doesn’t believe that there is an existence in the world that can truly shake his position, so the struggle for the imperial power has brought him nothing but distraction, it’s just that as a father, he doesn’t want to see his own the flesh and blood of each other …… I estimate that he could not care about the name that the crown prince brother possesses, who will take over the throne in the future, in fact, still look at how he thinks in his heart, look at the performance of several royal brothers in these years later.”
“Even these, are not the focus of the Emperor’s concern.” Lin Wan’er continued softly, “Uncle is in good health and not too old, he thinks he can still live for many more years …… He has not thought about the issue of passing the throne at all. His mind, in fact, is still set on the world, and his ambition is still alive.”
Fan Xian’s temples throbbed twice, and he frowned, “Is your majesty …… still preparing for war?”
“It’s impossible to say.” Lin Wan’er, after all, was a bit of a girl, and also disliked the matter of war, and said quietly, “Actually, it’s been quiet for more than ten years, and it’s already very strange. Now the western beard does not dare to come east, south Vietnam will be settled, his majesty is only waiting for you to collect the internal treasury, Jiangnan people’s livelihood is gradually peaceful, the treasury storage silver grain is sufficient, I’m afraid that it will once again send troops.”
“Depends on the scope.” Fan Xian said, “The key is the level of the war, if it’s still the same kind of small fight as last year, there’s not much to worry about.”
“Worry?” Lin Wan’er laughed, “This matter is naturally for the Emperor and the Privy Council to worry about, you, you’re going to be expatriated to Jiangnan, so don’t worry about it, even if the Supervisory Board wants to get involved in the war, it’s still a matter for the three divisions.”
Fan Xian smiled, not explaining anything. If Emperor Qing was really ready to start a second world war, it was not uncommon for him to have to go and disabuse him of the idea himself, and if intellect didn’t work, then he would try violence.
Lin Wan’er didn’t know that he was thinking about that kind of treacherous thing, and said to herself: ”By all rights, the crown prince’s brother should be the one to take over the throne, but as you know, His Majesty has always disliked the Empress, so there are variables in this matter, and everyone has a chance except for the eldest brother, even if the oldest one is only eight or nine years old… …You’re going down to Jiangnan this time, although the court knows that it’s a disguised exile, but His Majesty letting you take Lao San …… with you is a bit of a bizarre thing, and Sangong had to be aware of it.”
Fan Xian nodded, still not saying anything, listening very stoically to his wife, knowing that he was leaving the capital immediately and Wan’er’s heart was worried, that’s why he made an exception to speak about so many things.
“There doesn’t seem to be any difference between the Empress Dowager’s preference for the Crown Prince and the Second Prince. The old man dislikes the eldest royal brother the most, as well as the third.” Lin Wan’er faintly told the secrets of the palace, “Although the Empress doesn’t have any real power, she has always been on good terms with her mother.”
Fan Xian listened attentively to Qing’s harem politics and interjected, “Why don’t you like Lao San?”
Lin Wan’er glanced out the window and said hesitantly, “It’s about because of the old master’s relationship……. You also know that concubine Yi Gui is close to our family.”
“Wan’er, in your opinion, what should I do this time when I go down to Jiangnan?” Fan Xian asked very seriously.
Lin Wan’er said very directly, “Strictly control Lao San, keep your distance, a teacher is a teacher’s appearance, you can’t let the Empress Dowager think that you’re deliberately indoctrinating him into something …… The other thing is that the investigation of the case should be fast, it can’t be delayed, and if it’s delayed for a long period of time, it won’t be very good for you… …Mother doesn’t only have the Second Prince and the Metropolitan Court in the dynasty.”
Fan Xian was stunned.
Lin Wan’er’s heart struggled for a long time before she said softly, “Perhaps everyone thought that her friendship with the Eastern Palace back then was just a smokescreen to hide the second prince’s brother, but you must be wary of the fact that perhaps the crown prince’s brother will, one day, fall back to her side again.”
Fan Xian was silent and then resumed gloomily, this world, letting his own dear wife actually fall into such a pitiful situation – he was aware that the Eastern Palace would not watch himself grow, and this was related to the grudge of that year. Just did not think, the eldest princess is really long-sleeved, actually seems to be a foot in two boats to play split master.
Thinking of that fun mother-in-law, Fan Xian can not help but smile.
On the first day of the year, the ancestors were sacrificed.
On the second day, a large number of officials in the capital flocked to the door to pay tribute to the New Year.
On the third day, the entire Fan family fled and hid at Prince Jing’s residence for a party, and Fan Xian and Shi Zi Hong Cheng met very awkwardly to catch up.
On the fourth day, Ren Shao’an and Xin Qiqi jointly invited Fan Xian to a banquet as a farewell.
On the fifth day of the lunar month, Yan’s father and son went to Fan’s residence. After Yan Ruohai resigned from the government, he was very good at chess and talked with the Minister of the Shangshu until nightfall. Fan Xian and Yan Bingyun had a secret talk in the small study until nightfall.
On the sixth day of the lunar month, he visited Chen Yuan.
On the seventh day of the month, ten thousand people in Kyoto went on a trip, the chickens didn’t crow, the dogs didn’t bite, the eighteen year old girls ran all over the streets, Fan Xian took his wife and sister, Roujia Ye Ling’er, the four big misses to run around the capital, and they had a good time.
On the eighth day of the first month, at noon, the State Duke’s Office was invited, and in the evening, the Fan clan gathered, and Fan Xian became the center of attention on the table.
Once the fifteenth day of the first month had passed, Fan Xian left the capital, and his group arrived at a boat pier in the south of Kyoto. The river was called Weihe, and the Liujing River flowed into it. Hundreds of miles to the south, Weihe would merge into the Great River and go straight down the river to Jiangnan, which was even more prosperous than Kyoto.
Fan Xian, according to his discussion with his majesty, only said to the public that he would go back to Tanyuzhou to visit his grandmother, and then he would go down to Jiangnan, one after another, in the calculation of outsiders, he would at least until March, before he would arrive in Suzhou, but no one thought that he would arrive in advance.
Today leaving the capital, Fan Xian did not let anyone send, including the courtyard familiar officials, officials in the court. He didn’t expect the students of the Imperial College to know the news in advance, and they all ran to the pier.
Fan Xian in the Imperial College not long, but has always been extremely friendly, last year’s spring exams spent a lot of money, arrangements for countless poor students, and uncovered the spring exams fraud, for the world of readers to open their eyes, as for what the temple before the poetic discourse, everyone gave books and other celebrities and anecdotes, all together, so that he is in the hearts of readers in the position of high and not far from the reputation is excellent.
And he into the Supervisory Yuan after serving as the Secretary, it is very dealt with some bribery, in the rectification of the wind at the end of the play a bright a small means, so did not because of the darkness of the Supervisory Yuan and lead to their own luster has too much weakening.
As for the later case of the body – to say is also wonderful, in fact, the readers often pretentious, not proud of the family history, but when they really know their own line of the best, the poet small Fan Ta-Jen, actually has such a glorious history, the scholar’s heart is not a little resistance, but instead of giving birth to some of the acidic with a sense of honor! The feeling of honor!
What about the government? The business and how? The head of our readers …… is also a prince ah!
On the wharf, no matter whether it was the teaching staff or the students of the Imperial College, when this parting scene, all gave birth to some feelings of pity, for a time, the wharf up and down the crowd, very lively, and finally Fan Xian even drank three cups of water wine, and only then counted back to all the students of Yin Yin thick feelings. The scene was very lively and colorful, and it was thought that the news would spread up and down the court in a short time.
It was not easy to persuade everyone to leave, but Fan Xian gently held Wan Er’s hands and gave her countless instructions, saying that he would send someone to fetch her in the coming spring before stopping Wan Er’s tears. Wan Er looked at the distant departing scholars, and suddenly smiled and teased, “Did you inform them?”
Fan Xian’s thick skin also reddened slightly as he explained, “To fulfill their good wishes.”
He turned his head and looked over, only to see his sister hiding behind the maiden sister at home, hanging her head speechless, but refused to come forward, obviously secretly sobbing. Looking at the girl’s cowering appearance, Fan Xian somehow felt an unexplained rise of anger in his heart, and peeling away from the people who were seeing him off, he came to Ruo Ruo’s face and loudly shouted, “What are you crying about?”
Fan Ruoruo did not expect her elder brother to come directly in front of her, bluffed, hurriedly wiped the corner of her eyes tears, ate and said: “No …… no …… nothing.”
She suddenly thought, has been more than ten years, brother has never been so fierce himself, how today is so fierce …… in the end is not their own brother, really not as gentle as the year on their own, a thought of this section, this is a light and elegant such as chrysanthemums a free woman, actually can not help but come from the sadness, the tears came out of the socket, but stubbornly biting the lower lip. Tears came to her eyes, but she stubbornly bit her lower lip, giving birth to an indescribable sense of sadness.
Fan Xian looked at his sister’s behavior and smiled back, gritting his teeth, not knowing what to do. The subordinates beside him also hurriedly got out of the way, not daring to stay by the side of the two masters of the Fan House. Thanks to this time Wan Er over, holding Ruo Ruo do not know how many whispered comfort, and said Fan Xian left the capital in a bad mood, will be so fierce, Ruo Ruo only gradually calm down.
Fan Xian fierce, just can not see his sister sad and deliberately avoid their own, the fire of the past ten days to hold strong. Seeing his sister still have palpitations looking at himself, he sighed in the bottom of his heart, softened his voice and said: “I am fierce you deserve, I am your brother, you are my sister, if I do not fierce you, you should be sad.”
Ruoruo is also a person of ice and snow intelligence, once heard this will understand the so-called affinity, if the elder brother does not treat himself as his own sister, and how would be in front of so many people to murder himself? The girl figured out this matter, and only then did her eyebrows show a trace of joy, and said to Fan Xian: “That …… that …… that sister saw her brother traveling far away, sadness is inevitable, what are you fierce fierce?”
She tilted her face up and said with a straight face.
“Ha ha ha ha.” Fan Xian finally laughed out, knowing that his sister’s heart would be dissolved, and was filled with comfort.
“Young master! If we don’t leave now, we’re going to miss the hour!”
On top of the large boat next to the pier, the eldest maid, Si Si, stood at the bow of the boat with her waist crossed and shouted loudly. When Fan Xian traveled to Jiangnan, he always had to bring a few attentive attendants with him, and Si Si had been with him since Tanyuzhou, so of course she was the first choice. As soon as this girl left Fan’s residence, she returned to the cinnabar light of Tanyuzhou, and her whole being seemed to brighten up.
Wan’er watched her shouting loudly, and couldn’t help but laugh, “You’re really spoiling this girl, Sangong.”
Fan Xian laughed twice, whispered a few words of advice beside his sister’s ear about the important things that would soon be spread into Kyoto, and then shockingly and publicly took Wan Er into his arms and kissed her fiercely twice, before he waved his sleeves and boarded the big boat by the river.
As the saying goes, with a wave of my sleeve, I am going to take all the silver away.
Little Lord Fan left the capital today, has long become the talk of the people of Kyoto, whether it is a tavern or a tea house, or a deep house, are discussing this matter.
Being under house arrest in the royal residence in the second prince, one side listening to the subordinate strategist return, one side sigh: “this guy finally gone.”
Schemer without a plan, hate said: “Luckily he left quickly, otherwise must pick his skin, for his highness to vent his hatred.”
The second prince is squatting on the chair scoop frozen milk soup to eat, frowned at the words, a long time speechless, self-deprecating smile, said quietly: “No wonder there have been people say, this king and Fan Tisi look alike …… original which there is this kind of story …… But like is like, I am not his opponent, this point, you should be clear.”
He jumped off the chair and looked at the free sky outside the courtyard, and a sweet smile appeared on his face, “This guy is finally gone …… It feels so good, like whoever took away the poisonous snake behind me.”
Three hundred miles outside of Kyoto, a long and somewhat exaggerated procession was slowly marching to the west. The woman in the Xinyang Li Palace was walking on her way back to the capital, she didn’t know that her son-in-law also chose to flee from Kyoto on this day, and that the other party’s reaction to her well-intentioned expressions and attempts to carry out the hand of negotiation and peace was actually to shun it.
Inside the stately Qing Temple three miles away, an extremely desolate field with tall piles of dry firewood in the middle of the dam was blazing, the fire was extremely hot, burning the things inside with crackling sounds.
The emperor had his hands behind his back, coldly looking at the stack of firewood, looking at the body inside that was gradually turning into black smoke. Behind him, the Great Sacrifice of the Kingdom of Qing maintained the composure of an ascetic, but fear surfaced in his eyes.
Outside the Temple of Qing, the young eunuch Hong Zhu was talking to the guards in a conversation, he was going to be transferred to the Empress’s Palace tomorrow as the chief eunuch, and today should be the last time he serves His Majesty.
A few days later on the Wei River, Fan Xian stood at the bow of the boat, silent for a long time. The cold of the river was blowing on his face, but it could not blow into the expensive fur coat he was wearing.
He had already left the capital, but information was still coming in. The Princess had sent many outposts into the capital, and had the old Sister bring many of Xinyang’s specialties into the Fan Mansion, which were naturally given to Wan’er in name, and it seemed that that Mother-in-Law, after utilizing them to no avail, and assassinating them in vain, had finally acknowledged Fan Xian’s power, and had begun to politely repair the relationship between mother and daughter.
This was just the end of the story, and did not fall within the vision of the world taught by Chen Pingping.
What really interested Fan Xian was the news that the Grand Priest of Qing returned to his country after many years, only to die of old age and illness because he had exhausted his essence and blood in the southern land of asceticism, and the knowledge that Hong Zhu had been transferred to the Empress’s palace as the chief eunuch, which he was a little disappointed and a little happy about.
His student Shi Hanyanli covered his eyes with his hand to block the harsh river wind, and came to his side to ask for advice, “Teacher, earlier the ship’s schoolmaster said that, according to the speed of the present, he would be able to pass through Yingzhou tomorrow, and in a few days’ time, he would have entered the boundaries of the Jiangnan Road.”
Jiangnan and his entourage, in not far from the capital of the Supervisory Yuan secret dockyard to change the boat, the crowd is now sitting in the boat, is generally by the sailor boat converted into a civilian boat.
