Chapter 2: Moonlight in the Mountains

Teng Zijing glanced at Wang Qinian, who had been standing quietly behind Fan Xian, and noticing that the other party’s scent did not seem to be quite the same as that of the guards in the mansion, he answered in a low voice. Fan Xian looked at his gaze and explained in a low voice, “This is Wang Qinian. I have a part-time job in the Supervisory Court nowadays, so don’t say anything to the others.” Fuji Zijing looked aghast, and his gaze at Fan Xian changed a bit, after all, he could not have imagined that the young master that he had occasionally thought of following would be able to mix in that courtyard where the ghosts and gods could not be easily removed within a few months of joining the capital.

Fan Xian called over Wang Qinian again and introduced him, “This is the Fuji Zijing that I had mentioned when we met for the second time, you two will be more intimate in the future, and you should know that he could have saved my life.”

Hearing this, a layer of red surfaced on Fuji Zijing’s dark face as he waved his hand repeatedly and said, “Young master’s words are too strong, in fact it was young master who saved my life that day.”

Wang Qinian clasped his hands and smiled without saying anything. Like Fuji Zijing, he was satisfied with the current situation, not only had he managed to return to the Supervisory Academy, the key was that his monthly salary had now risen quite a bit, and Lord Dean had even personally received him once, it had been a long time since he had been treated this way since he had switched to a civilian position many years ago. Although Lord Fan is only an eighth-ranked Taishang Temple Co-Lawyer, he has a waist plate of the Tiji on his person – this Tiji is known only to the jailer and Mu Tie in the Supervisory Yuan besides his own squad, and no one else is very clear about it. This kind of somewhat mysterious little power in his hands made him comfortable.

The dinner was wild game, although Fuji Zijing repeatedly said that there was nothing to eat in the fieldhouse, but the meat flowing with fat oil rolling in the pot, together with the smooth green slices of sloppy joes, it was really incomparably delicious, and even Fan Sicheng opened up his appetite, grabbing the meat as if there was no one else there to eat it. Fan Xian looked at him amusedly, clamped a piece of meat into the lips, and found that this meat is extremely tender, but the layers between the silk skin are distinct, extremely chewy, and could not help but praise, and asked: “Is this suede or what?”

Fuji Zijing’s daughter-in-law was greeting at the side, hearing the young master’s question, she hurriedly answered, “This is white suede meat.”

Hearing the three words white muntjac, Fan Xian, however, froze, his chopsticks resting in front of him seemingly forgetting to move, and in this instant, he remembered a time many years ago, even longer than Tanyuu. At that time, he was lying in a hospital bed, and he couldn’t stop thinking about eating white suede meat. That pretty nurse even teased himself about his whimsicality – the Fan Shen of his previous life had never eaten white muntjac meat either, and only knew that it was a favorite game meat of the people in his hometown – all of these memories seemed to have faded away, and it had been a long time since Fan Xian remembered the things of his previous life, and it was not expected that today’s white suede tickled the emotions that had been hidden for a long time.

Fan Ruo Ruo ate small bites from the side and watched as his elder brother’s face seemed a bit strange, carefully asking, “What’s wrong?”

Fan Xian immediately woke up. With a slight smile, he said, “Nothing.” Turning his head, he asked Fuji Zijing if any of these mountain game were waxed, and after receiving a positive reply, he somewhat happily asked the other party to help him wrap up a few dozen pounds of them and prepare to bring them back to Kyoto. Fuji Zijing didn’t think that the things he prepared today would be so much to the young master’s liking, and was also very happy.

Fan Xian picked up his wine cup and drank a round with a few people on the table, and said with a smile, “You’re still not fully healed from your injuries, so you should drink less, Fuji Da.” Next to him, Fan Ruoruo looked at her elder brother and smiled slightly, seemingly shying away from him, and Fan Xian knew that his sister had guessed his own thoughts. Bring back to the capital of the wax wild game, in addition to their own want to eat, the main purpose is still in order to let the gluttonous Wan Er enjoy the mouth.

After dinner Fan Si Zhe extremely perverted continue to drill into their rooms to count, Fan Xian is really do not know, counting this kind of thing what fun, not to mention a twelve or thirteen year old little bully, actually can patiently intoxicated in the boring numbers, can only sigh the same rice to raise a hundred kinds of people, then let him go.

Refused the request of Fuji Zijing accompanied by crutches, he led Fan Ruo Ruo to the field outside the yard, looking at the opposite side of a few green mountain passes as if floating quietly in the round moon, overhead is unknown trees rustling in the night wind, a very beautiful picture.

“The dream is still in front of the body suspected of entering the dream, a few people pining for a few people to return.” Fan Xian thought of his earlier recollections of his past life, and with occasional emotion, he casually recited two sentences, “The time of the day is the passing of a hundred generations, the heaven and earth are the reverse of everything, life is a big dream, sometimes I really doubt that I am still lying in that bed, just dreaming a dream so long that I don’t have to wake up in time.”

He casually lamented, knowing that his sister probably couldn’t understand what he was saying, but forgetting how the dashing intentions hidden in Lord Li Bai’s words could be lethal to a young girl, and sure enough …… Fan Ruo Ruo’s eyes began to glow.

Fan Xian immediately knew that he had made a mistake, sad face, was about to explain that in addition to the first two sentences, the latter are a bull called Li Bai wrote, but suddenly thought of the day Si Zhe taunted himself, he secretly sighed, stopped this other people look at may be pretentious, but their own look is very natural move. He also knew that even if he said his sister wouldn’t believe him, after all, the Supervisory Yuan had arrested several Xin Qiji back then, but none of them were private salt dealers who could write lyrics, so he simply put Ruo Ruo in his arms and went to look at the moon together.

Although Fan Xian had lived in this world for more than ten years, he still retained some unique endowments that were incompatible with this world, but were of great benefit to him, such as the defense of men and women, such as physical contact. When he hugged his sister, of course there wasn’t a single thought between a man and a woman, it was just very pure brother and sister love. On the contrary, Fan Ruoruo was wrapped into his arms, feeling a warmth and slight shyness, naturally forgetting to pursue those things any further.

In the distance, two members of the Inspectorate stood under another tree like two braziers, protecting them.

“Get up early tomorrow, I’m going into the city on business.” Fan Xian sniffed his sister’s hair and realized that it was lightly scented with orchids, and asked curiously, “What method is this using?”

Fan Ruo Ruo was slightly shy, not knowing exactly which sentence to say back to her elder brother, “Bubbled wood pear flower water, what’s the rush?”

The girls in this world actually rarely wash their hair, so the smell is really not that great, including when Fan Xian and Si Li Li rolled around under the same blanket, all relying on the heavy scent to cover it up. Ever since Fan Xian had entered the capital, he had asked Fan Ruo Ruo and Lin Wan Er to wash their hair regularly, and had even given away free copies of the shower head and high hanging barrel design he had made in Tanyuzhou. Ruo Ruo and Wan Er couldn’t argue with him, so they had to do as they were told, not realizing that the effect was so obvious that it immediately spread throughout the Fan Mansion and the Royal Courtyard, and now even Liu washes her hair more diligently.

“Father should be very happy.” This was Fan Xian’s subtext, and then replied to Ruo Ruo’s words, “It’s quieter in Kyoto on a weekday morning, I’m going somewhere, you accompany me, and the others should not follow.”

Knowing that her elder brother trusted her, Fan Ruoruo was touched.

Fan Xian added, “Tomorrow, I have to go to Qing Yu Tang to take a look, the shopkeeper Ye has talked to me, and Kyoto has been relatively calm lately, so it’s the right time to go and take a look.” Qingyu Hall’s boss really live up to their name, Fan Si Zhe main camp account planning, Ye boss specializing in the implementation of the business will be Tanyu Bookstore better and better, relying on their own capital thick, but also the official face of the background, was in two months to eat all the counterparts of the neighboring streets, recently it is slowly extending the tentacles to the neighboring counties.

“Is that tofu store still open?” Fan Ruo Ruo suddenly thought of a small matter and asked, “The son of the world was aroused by the soybean milk you sent to the mansion every day, fearing that there would be no more to drink one day, didn’t he often advise you to open it?”

Fan Xian laughed slightly and said, “Your brother I am now about to become a person who spends hundreds of thousands of silver dollars a day, what else do I care about that tofu?” Of course, this is just a joke, he then said, “Whenever you are free, you can make it, anyway, you don’t have much to do nowadays, so make something to do.” In his heart, there is no concept that a young lady can’t show her face, let alone take care of a tofu stall, he just thinks that if Ruoruo reads books and makes poems every day, she won’t be stupid in the future.

Fan Ruoruo was a little embarrassed, but still agreed.

Fan Xian thought of a pile of important things, frowned, hands holding his sister’s shoulders, and said: “Ruoruo, although in my opinion, you are only fifteen or sixteen years old girl, from the marriage is still early, but this Kyoto culture is really not very good, even I am this young man are forced to marry a daughter-in-law, you also have to pay some attention to the picking of the eye, like that every day to come to the mansion of the HeZongWei, I three broomstick But what if you’re married to a weakling in the future?” He said earnestly, “I’m not sure if I’m right.”

He said seriously, “Since you want to marry, you have to pick a good one, marry a good one, the one you like, and you have to do it earlier, before the arranged marriage. This kind of thing is too risky, after all, not all people in this world have the same good fortune as your brother and Wan Er. Parental order is not so bad, I have enough confidence can hold up, but what if …… what if it is the decree of the palace? With the position of the Fan family, this kind of thing has to be guarded against.”

Fan Ruoruo listen to the words of the elder brother, the first is a slight sense of shyness, to hear him bragging and feel funny, only to hear the last word of the palace, only to really have some worries, she how not to know the general family of the officials and eunuchs, in their own age, it is true that they have to be fixed for marriage, only …… every day with the elder brother to stay in one place, and then look at the world of men will be Always feel boring, let yourself and how to find their own man of choice?
