Chapter 45: The School of Ethnicity

“We, the people, are so happy today! We’re really fucking happy!” Fan Xian was drinking soybean milk and chewing on doughnuts in the flower hall while his heart was soothed.

He admitted that he was lucky, obviously all the people who had died, but they came to this world to live again; obviously, once born, he was pitiful, his mom died and his dad didn’t want to – but then he realized that the original enemies who killed his mom were all killed off, and that as a son of a human being who wanted to take revenge, he didn’t have any place to go to take revenge to go, and that his old man, although he had some problems, at least he didn’t show an unbearable attitude. Although he had some problems, at least he didn’t show an attitude that he couldn’t stand. The other thing is, he is obviously ready to copy the book well, earn some hard money, and live a good life in this world – but he didn’t realize that there is a big pile of golden blocking things waiting for him to disdain them.

The most crucial thing is, obviously if you want to earn this fast money, you have to go against your own will and accept those big shots’ arrangement to marry the woman you haven’t even met – as a result, hey, this woman is still the one you like!

There are those who are lucky, and there are those who are often lucky, but those who are lucky enough to be like himself, Fan Xian was somewhat unconvinced. Realizing that he was in a good mood, Liu didn’t have much of a reaction, but it was Fan Si Zhe who came to be interested, and after waiting for his own mother to leave, he lowered his voice and asked, ”Big brother, so happy? The store has already favored the location, when are you going to take a look?”

“Didn’t you hire a shopkeeper?” Fan Xian was in a good mood, his face was full of spring, and he delegated his power generously, “I’ve said that you’ll do it yourself first, and come back to me if there’s anything wrong. If you think you’re too young to be in charge, there are so many cleaners in the mansion, so feel free to take two of them.”

Fan Si Zhe yelled: “How to say you are also the big proprietor, the book is your, money you also contributed half, how to also have a look at it.”

Hearing the three words “big proprietor,” Fan Xian said happily, “Okay, let’s go take a look in a couple of days. But didn’t father give you a beating the other day and forbid you to miss class?”

“You can come and pick me up, and by the way, I’ll take you around the capital again.”

“No, going out with you is going to offend people again, I don’t want to go to the public court every day.” Fan Xian finished the bowl of soymilk in one gulp, smacking his lips full of crumbs, a little dissatisfied, “If this bookstore business does well, in the future, when you’re older, there’ll be a lot more business waiting for you.”

Fan Si Zhe didn’t understand this, touched his head and left. Fan Ruo Ruo listened quietly from the side, only at this time did she smile and say, “Decided to accept this marriage?”

“My parents’ orders, I have to follow them.” Fan Xian sighed, but never had a talent for the funny aspect of it, shaking his head and laughing, “I definitely want the marriage, but those things that come along with it are a bit troublesome. To offend so many people for no reason at all, and not necessarily being able to truly grasp those things, after doing the math, it seems to be a bit uneconomical.”

Fan Ruo Ruo knew that her brother was talking about the Royal Merchant House, and was also somewhat worried for him, after all, the Princess had been in charge for so many years. No one knew how many benefits the prime minister and the crown prince’s faction had reaped from this. If this business was really to be handed over to Fan Xian to manage in the future, taking over the checking of the accounts would be a definite must, and there might be quite a few people from the inner treasury to the Royal Merchant House who would have to get into trouble.

She frowned and said, “How about if the accounts are not checked?”

“Not checking the accounts would be fine, but we have to seal up all the old accounts from the past, in case the dirty water from the past is poured onto us it would be over. And the key is that after this financial path is broken, certain people will definitely be very angry.”

“Otherwise …… only marry the Lin family girl, this merchant house is not wanted. After all, it was the result of father’s discussion with His Majesty in the first place. At this time, if we ask father to back down a bit more, His Majesty shouldn’t be too angry either.”

Fan Xian shook his head, thinking of his father’s demeanor that night, he knew that his father had a fervent obsession with taking back his mother’s family business, and although he didn’t know where this obsession came from, it was really difficult to ask his father to voluntarily give it up if there was such an opportunity in front of him.

And he himself does not want to give up, after all, that is the mother, that woman single-handedly left things, belonging to their own things, why should let the royal people enjoy the benefits? Although according to the palace, after marrying Lin Wan’er, it will take a few years before he can take care of it himself, but closer to the meat, his nose will always be better, that’s why Fan Xian at this time will be the bookstore as a matter of business, on the one hand, it is familiar with the hand, on the other hand, it is also want to prove to some people to see that he has a mind of doing business.

“Will …… someone use some extraordinary means?” Fan Ruo Ruo asked worriedly.

Fan Xian thought for a moment and replied, “Although I haven’t met the Eldest Princess or any of the big shots inside the palace, I think that since I’ve been able to be in charge of the inner treasury for ten years or so, this Eldest Princess, no matter what kind of temperament she has, must be a smart person. In this current situation, if I am really killed, no matter if she did it or not, surely many eyes will be on her. The emperor’s old man might not care about my death, but he definitely won’t tolerate that someone would secretly sabotage his will. As an emperor, what he values most is his own majesty, and it just so happens that I’m tied up in a lawsuit and can’t leave Kyoto. If someone makes a move against me within Kyoto ……”

He shook his head, “That would be too foolish.”

Fan Ruoruo gave him an admiring look, “Brother’s analysis makes sense.”

“Don’t look at me like that.” Fan Xian looked at her somewhat helplessly, “You girl is now trusting me more and more, I’m not an immortal, just an ordinary person, there are definitely many things that will be outside our expectations.”

Fan Ruoruo was a bit worried hearing this, but Fan Xian was fine, after all, Uncle Wu Zhu had been hiding in the darkness, if anyone wanted to touch himself, unless Ye Liuyun, who was traveling, suddenly came back to Kyoto.

At noon, surrounded by a large group of guards such as Fuji Zijing, Fan Xian ran to the Fan private school to see Fan Si Zhe, which does not matter, a look almost did not pass out. Just look at the classroom, those Fan children are all laughing and playing, completely not in front of the old master in the eyes, there are a few bold guys, more took their own brush dipped in some ink, spilled in front of the play, not only stained the walls, and even the old master’s corner of the clothes are stained to some.

The old master angry face green, but do not know how to be angry. These children are quite background, although their parents always urge to respect the teacher, but to the private school, these young people have changed their appearance, and even more abominable rely on their own family boy thick, so not only in the private school to mix, more often in the street to do some behavior.

Fan Xian will head into the door, carefully glanced, found Fan Si Zhe is still relatively honest, sitting in the corner of a desk to write something, home sent to his boy is squatting next to wait for him to drink tea, it seems that there is no serious listening to the teacher, but in good condition did not do anything out of the ordinary. He actually overestimated this younger brother of his, if not for the fact that there are more fun things to bind Fan Si Zhe’s mind recently, I’m afraid that he would be even more wanton than those unscrupulous children in the house right now.

Calling Fan Si Zhe out of the house, Fan Xian asked with a sullen face, “This is where you study.”

Fan Si Zhe didn’t know why he was upset and replied angrily, “Yes, what’s wrong?”

“You should be considered a leader.” Fan Xian believed in his leadership abilities, plus the fact that the entire Fan clan was currently the most prosperous in terms of the Sinanbo family, so Fan Si Zhe should have a special position within these children.

Fan Si Zhe scratched his head, “They still listen to what I say.”

“That’s good.” Fan Xian continued, “You go in and teach those little bastards a lesson. Make them listen to their teacher properly.”

“Huh?” Fan Si Zhe seemed to be a bit lost in thought.

“Disrespecting the teacher?” The tip of Fan Xian’s brows furrowed, thinking that when he was in Tanyu, whether it was the most previous Mr. Xixi. Or later on, Mr. Fei Jie, he himself was immensely respectful, and hearing the voices inside becoming more and more pleasantries, he angrily rebuked, “If you dare to be like them, watch me not slap you.”

Fan Si Zhe did not know why Fan Xian, who had been quite gentle lately, would suddenly get himself into trouble, and roared with glaring eyes, “Who are you to whip me?”

The boy beside him and a few servants gathered around, they were already somewhat familiar with Young Master Fan, but once they heard that they were going to hit their young master, they were eager to protect him and glared viciously at Fan Xian, and the boy, who was familiar with Young Master Sicher, cursed even more cheaply.

Fan Xian frowned.

Fuji Zijing and a few of his guards stepped forward and showed no mercy, grabbing the family members and giving them a good beating, and the boy who cursed was slapped numerous times. These people following Fan Xian were originally directly under the manpower of Sinan Bo Fan Jian, where would the house of these would have been below their own several levels of servants in the eyes of the boys, and now follow Fan Xian, but even the son of the current Minister of the Palace of Justice beat up nothing happened, walking on the road can not wait for the two sides of the wind, which would be hesitant to do so.

The education ended there, and the servant, looking at Fan Xian with fear and pain all over his body, retreated back with fear and trepidation. The boy, on the other hand, had reddened cheeks and howled incessantly.

Fan Xian looked down at Fan Si Zhe’s scared face and said softly, “I didn’t say I’d whip you, but if you do something wrong, I’ll naturally whip you, and on what grounds? It’s very simple, you can’t beat me and scold me, and you don’t dare to go to your father to complain, if you do something wrong and still want to call me out, isn’t it looking for a whip?”

Seeing that he didn’t seem to have the intention of hitting himself, Fan Si Zhe breathed a sigh of relief, at heart he was still a son of a powerful nobleman who didn’t take his subordinates to heart, and didn’t take the matter of Fan Xian hitting his own men too seriously, although he felt that he had lost a bit of face, but it always seemed to have some benefits to follow him around, and with the nature of a businessman he calculated it out, and found that it would be better if he didn’t offend Fan Xian.

“Go inside, straighten things up inside, I’ll wait for you outside, didn’t you say you still had to go and look at the store?” Fan Xian finished saying this, and with a flick of his sleeve, he left the entrance of the private school.

The people of the Fan clan who were waiting outside, seeing that earlier scene, couldn’t help but tsk and wonder, thinking that this bastard son of the Sinanbo family dared to be so powerful as to bully the Sinanbo family’s rightful young master so much in broad daylight, and the crowd’s gazes at him became a bit fearful.

Fan Xian ignored these people and sat on the bench outside the door, waiting. In a short while, he heard several cries of pain and loud slapping sounds from the private school, with Fan Sithe’s arrogant voice: “Be honest with me! If you ever disrespect your teacher again, I’ll slap you!” These words were not far from what Fan Xian had said, and it seemed that young master Fan was taking out all the anger he had suffered from his elder brother on his brothers and sisters.

This was a big deal, and the Fan clan’s horsemen and servants who had been guarding the outside of the private school heard their master’s cries of pain in the classroom, glared fiercely at Fan Xian, and rushed in. Fan Xian was afraid that Fan Si Zhe would suffer, so he gave a wink to Fuji Zi Jing, who led a few guards to rush in with the crowd as well, and in a short while, he pulled Fan Si Zhe out.

Fan Si Zhe has not yet had a good time, while waving his fists, while cursing: “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, these guys, can’t dare to offend our family.” Indeed, as he said, those subordinates rushed in, and only dared to protect their own masters, but did not dare to fight back or anything, it seems that the Sinanbo House is now in the Fan Clan’s big family, and is indeed in a very special position.

After beating up the people, Fan Xian grabbed his brother by the neck and carried him to the carriage, leaving this chaotic situation that he had created. Fuji Zijing frowned at the side and said, “Young master, although these people in the clan are becoming more and more unlikeable now, but after all, they are some old men in Kyoto, and there are still some hurdles where they need their help, so it’s not good to offend too many people.”

Fan Xian laughed bitterly, “What are you afraid of?” In his heart, he thought, “Maybe these clansmen do have power, but I’m going to marry the princess soon, and the emperor will be my uncle, so what am I afraid of? These little scumbags can’t really get out of this breath without teaching them a lesson.

“Cool?” He asked Fan Si Zhe.

Fan Si Zhe was a bit puzzled, “That’s right, I usually beat up people a lot, but none of them are as refreshing as today’s beating, why is that?” The resentment that arose from being taught a lesson by his brother earlier had long since dissipated without a trace in the midst of his own valiant beating.

“It’s simple. Smoking people is also about finding reasons, just like fighting a war, if there is an incomparably bright and righteous reason, then the fight will be without any psychological baggage, even if this dynasty attacked the Northern Wei back then, didn’t they also first say that they had violated the border?” Fan Xian continued, “What’s the matter ah, all the same, we have to occupy the name of righteousness, righteousness, understand?”

“No.” Fan Si Zhe replied sincerely.
