Chapter 76 The Third Generation

The news of Fan House’s happiness flew out as if it had wings, flying over the high courtyard walls of all the powerful and noble mansions, flying over the vigilant eyes of all the teahouses, and becoming news known to all. Kyoto princes and nobles to discuss the hot news, the people after tea and dinner of the greatest joy, are focused on this.

This news naturally also flew into the palace, did not care about the majestic palace wall barrier, into the ears of the emperor and empress dowager. According to Yao eunuch quietly let slip, when the Qing emperor heard the news of the moment, his majesty lightly stroked his beard, very pleased, that night and went to a small building. And after the Empress Dowager’s old ancestor learned of this news, she hurriedly went to the back of the Hall of Containing Light to worship the gods, her fingertips constantly stroking the string of rosary beads, her face full of smiles.

Strange to say, including Fan Xian, including the Qing emperor had a total of five emperors, the third prince is still young, but the age of the eldest prince is not small, married for a long time, but there is no child, the second prince and the crown prince is also so, counting, now the Fan House Si Si in the belly of the child, even the royal third generation of the first one.

No wonder the nobles in the palace are not happy, just the Empress Dowager vaguely some regret, if the pregnant woman is the morning girl on the good, not to mention is not the county master, Fan Xian’s wife …… is, after all, their most painful granddaughter ah.

To Fan Xian’s position of power today, this happy event at the door, naturally came countless gifts to congratulate the guests, in the latter days, the South City Fan House main entrance traffic, all kinds of officials to and from the road, Fuji Zijing two legs are fast running soft.

In addition to some important people, such as King Jing’s family, Fan Xian personally met, the rest of the guests are by the Ministry of households, Fan Jian single-handedly blocked.

The good thing is that these guests just offered heavy gifts and didn’t bother for too long. People in the court are actually playing a small plan in their hearts, although Fan Xian has a child is a big thing, but the pregnant is his concubine, if this time to appear too enthusiastic, who knows that the county head of the House of the Queen’s heart is how to think?

It was a bad deal to please one party and offend the other, and the officials didn’t know the extent of the joy in the palace.

Three days later, the joy in the palace was displayed in two ways, before the eyes of the officials and people of Qing. The first was that lace newspaper sponsored by the inner court, which reported the good news to the people of the world in sets of red.

The inner court newspaper, which had always told jokes about officials’ jealousy, the funny side of history, and Chen Pingping’s first love story, was a bit boring and uninteresting, but very eye-catching. It’s just that since Fan Xian took charge of the Supervisory Court, he brightened up the affairs of the court by rectifying the situation and ordering the eight divisions to post countless notices on one doorway, turning the eerie process of official tipping into a collection of crime-solving stories – regardless of past or present life, the pillow-and-fist story is always the best seller- -The inner court newspaper only had pillows, less fists, so all the elegance was stolen by the notice board at one of the entrances.

Fortunately, Fan Xian has a son, the emperor acquiesced to the inner court newspaper to make a big fuss about it, in detail, will be Fan Xian from Tanyu State to Kyoto story written a long masturbation novel out of the vaguely mention the county princess, the Northern Qi saint, and the past of the young mother of the Fan House, the temple poetry night, the past of the south of Jiangnan ……

It was a very glowing summary of Fan Xian’s hurried twenty-year life. Once the newspaper came out, the paper in Kyoto was expensive, and the young ladies in all the houses begged the elders of their families to purchase a copy of it at great expense and put it in their boudoirs as a souvenir, while at the same time begging in their hearts for that ethereal temple to bestow upon them a …… man like little Lord Fan.

The newspaper of the inner court finally succeeded in conquering the people of Kyoto in front of one of the notice boards again with this opportunity.

The second attitude of joy in the palace was reward.

I don’t know whether it was the emperor or the empress dowager’s intention, but the rewards from the palace poured into the Fan residence like running water. Although the one who was pregnant with the child was Si Si, there were heavy rewards for all of them, from Fan Jian to the Liu Clan, and then to the Fan Clan’s young ladies who were studying far away from Beiqi, with Fan Xian’s main wife, Lin Wan’er, being the one who got the most important rewards.

Damask and silk, gold and jade, food and playthings, densely lined up in the mansion, so that the Fuji family daughter-in-law is a little busy to the point of losing her mind …… thinking that the young master saved His Majesty’s life in the first place, but not as much as this time to get more rewards.

Si Si was naturally rewarded, given a title of some kind, anyway, this title Fan Xian can not understand, is that the belly has not yet been born in the child, but also preempted a title.

Newspapers and rewards, two in a row, so that the joy of the people in the palace to the Kyoto every inch of the land, those who sent gifts in advance of the officials put their hearts down.

Only Fan Xian was not very happy, he looked at the red paper of the gift list brought over by Eunuch Yao and shook his head, a complex emotion arose in his heart, and he said to his father beside him: ”What are the people in the palace thinking? What do they have to do with me having a child.”

“This is gambling words.” Fan Jian said with a smile, “I thought you would have matured a bit, but I didn’t expect that you would still be saying gambling words at this time. What relationship? What kind of relationship do you think there is? In the third generation, this is the first one, the empress dowager has been anxious for many years, and finally she can hold her grandson, so she is happy, and the reward is a bit over the specification.”

Fan Xian laughed coldly, “A grandchild? In a hurry, I’ll send Si Si back to Tanyuzhou, born and raised in Tanyuzhou, for grandma to hold and play with.”

This was still a gamble, Si Si was in her pregnancy, where could she possibly travel thousands of miles. Fan Jian laughed out loud, but didn’t bother to blame him, because ever since he learned of Si Si’s pregnancy four days ago, this always serious and square Minister of the Household Department, he couldn’t hide his nature a little bit, and there was a point of complacency and happiness from his face to his bones.

In this world and the emperor rob son also rob won’t many people, and this son also immediately gave birth to their own grandson, no wonder Fan Jian adults do not old Huai comfort, inexplicable complacency.

“Tomorrow’s return to the palace to thank the grace don’t forget.” Fan Jian took a sip of tea and glanced at his son, realizing that his son clearly hadn’t listened to the words.

“Speaking of which, why has the Crown Prince never had a Crown Princess?” Fan Xian suddenly thought of a pile of things and said with a frown, “Even if it’s in order, now that the Second Highness of the Great Hall has gotten married, a year has passed, isn’t the matter of the Crown Prince a matter of urgency in the palace?”

He asked this naturally, skillfully covering up the temptation in his words. Fan Jian obviously did not notice that his son was probing his own mouth while he was happy, and said with a frown, “As early as three years ago, the Empress Dowager was in a hurry to plan for the matter of the Crown Princess, and the Empress was picking out people from all the mansions in Kyoto, and even picking out our mansion …….”

Fan Xian winced, thinking that if his sister really became the crown princess in the first place …… then it could be miserable, not that his sister was miserable, but he was miserable, wouldn’t he immediately have to fall to the side of the crown prince, and the crown prince’s brother to properly plan to take over the first wife? Fortunately, this thing did not happen.

Fan Jian continued: “Just do not know why, the crown prince has been refused to agree …… This is also regarded as a pile of strange things in that year, the crown prince you are also clear, the early years are more ridiculous, like to linger in the teaching house brothel, this is a person who is greatly interested in men and women’s affairs, but they refuse to be married. ”

Fan Xian thought for a moment and then said, “But the marriage of the crown prince is not something that can be avoided if he says he doesn’t want it.”

“This is where the crown prince’s cleverness is revealed.” Fan Jian smiled and said, “To persuade the Empress Dowager and Empress, the Crown Prince also thought a lot, first of all, they said that the eldest brother and the second brother have not been married, the State of Qing to filial piety to rule the world, pay attention to a brother friend and brotherly respect, their own younger brother, how can not be robbed in the two elder brother before getting married …… that time of year, the eldest son is still in the west to fight the Hu people, a time where can arrange the Hu people, a time where can arrange the marriage, this has been delayed until later.”

“Although the reason is sufficient, it’s not very convincing.” Fan Xian said with a bitter smile, “After all the messing around, it turns out that I’m the representative of people who marry early, and it’s only natural for me to be the first to have a child.”

“The same reasoning applies, but when it comes to the family matters of the Son of Heaven, it naturally needs to come from the mouths of persuasive people.” Fan Jian laughed, “The Crown Prince invited the then Crown Prince’s Counselor Shu Daoshi, Shu Daoshi, a man of stubborn nature, deeply thought that what the Crown Prince said was reasonable, not only did he himself write a letter asking the Emperor to hold off on the Crown Prince’s marriage, but he even wrote a letter to go to the Northern Kingdom, asking the Zhuang family to send a message.”

Fan Xian laughed, “So Mr. Zhuang Mo Han also did this kind of thing back then.”

Fan Jian suddenly looked at his son with some fatigue between his brows and sighed, “Is it because you haven’t slept well in the past few days? Go get some rest quickly.”

Fan Xian smiled awkwardly and excused himself and left the study.

He had indeed rested extremely poorly these past few days, the first being that Si Si was pregnant, so of course he had to be by his side at all times and be more relieved and considerate. On the other hand, although on the surface, Wan Er did not have anything, she was still happily handling Si Si’s child, but it was clear to everyone that the girl’s mood was definitely a mixture of emotions, Fan Xian was greatly distressed, and also had to take out a lot of time to accompany and comfort her, and with both sides of the family to take care of, naturally, he didn’t have a lot of time to rest.

Under the porch in front of the study, he stretched and yawned, shaking his head bitterly, his heart suddenly thought of an unknown amount of time ago, also in the garden of his own mansion, he once thought of the truth of life.

Men, marrying too early is always a very foolish move.

However, the Crown Prince’s insistence on refusing to marry early was also based on a very foolish thought. Fan Xian yawned and sighed in his heart, unable to see that the Crown Prince was a polygamist, what a sinful fate!

Suddenly, he saw Liu’s gentle smile accompanying an old man as he walked in, and Fan Xian’s open mouth couldn’t close for a moment, so he jumped up and yelled, “You’re finally here!”

The visitor is not a guest, is Fan Xian very respect very trust very favorite teacher Fei Jie, however, today the teacher and student two nearly a year apart for the first time to meet, an old man and a young man between the hidden wind and thunder stirring, the sword light sword intent, seems to be at any time will be thrown out a handful of poison to please each other to taste.

Liu how intelligent people, although do not understand the reason, but also can see that this place is not suitable to stay for a long time, casually said a few words and then left, Fei Jie arrival of important news, even Fan Shangshu have not yet notified.

“Sir.” Fan Xian looked at the strange color in Fei Jie’s eyes with a smile, and said, “After hiding from me for so many days, why did you come today?”

Fei Jie gave him a look without favor and shook his head, “Don’t think of good things, I’ve tried the medicines and formulas you sent over many times, and it’s basically …… hard to think of any problems at all.”

Fan Xian shook his head bitterly, he had thought that since Fei Jie was willing to come to the mansion, he must have solved the problem, but he didn’t expect to hear a not-so-wonderful answer.

In fact, all along, he didn’t really care too much about the question of whether or not Wan’er could bear children, even whether or not he had any offspring wasn’t in his consideration, and one of the three main goals of wildly having children that he had said to Uncle Wuzhu on the cliffs of Tanya State was just a naughty joke, but …… Wan’er wouldn’t think that way, and she wanted a child too much, and so Fan Xian was also only forced to be nervous.

Master and disciple sat in a quiet corner in the garden of the Fan mansion’s backyard, and a servant served tea and then retreated.

“When cousins get married, will it have any effect on future generations?” Fan Xian was silent for a long time before asking a question he hadn’t asked in a long time.

Fei Jie glanced at him and said in a sandy voice, “Do you think your luck will be that bad?”

Fan Xian laughed, secretly thinking that it was right, it was only a matter of probability, and he was undoubtedly the person with the best luck in the world.

“Would …… it be harder to have a child?” Fan Xian suddenly asked with a frown.

“Who said that?” Fei Jie understood that he was talking about blood relatives and said mockingly, “More than a hundred years ago, the Emperor of Wei back then raped his own daughter for more than ten years and ended up having seven cubs in a row.”

“Of course, not many of the seven cubs were normal.” Fei Jie shrugged his shoulders.

“The chaotic …… royal family is really the most chaotic place in the world.” Fan Xian exclaimed.

Fei Jie frowned slightly, not knowing if his disciple meant what he said, it was just that that matter was too widely implicated, and in order to protect Fan Xian, neither he nor Chen Pingping would say anything to Fan Xian beforehand.

“Why did Mister come today to teach me?” Fan Xian asked sincerely.

Fei Jie thought for a moment before saying, “Lord Dean guessed that your family home is not at peace, so he asked me to come and put your mind at ease.”

“Peace of mind?”

“Yes. Give me another half year’s time and it is possible to solve that problem that is a headache for you husband and wife.” Fei Jie smiled and said, “And then you must be reminded of one thing, your return date is approaching, don’t excuse yourself from going to Jiangnan on the pretext that Si Si is pregnant.”

Looking at the attitude of the palace, it was possible that Fan Xian would be left in Kyoto because of this matter, and this was what Chen Pingping and Fei Jie were really worried about. Fan Xian nodded after thinking about it, vaguely sensing that Chen Pingping and Fei Jie did not want him to stay in Kyoto for too long, and it seemed that the other party should have sensed that certain big events might happen in Kyoto as well.

He finally couldn’t help it, Fei Jie was his teacher when he was a child, in his opinion it was the most unlikely person in the world to harm himself, after hesitating for a few moments, he said, “Is it possible that something is going to happen in the palace?”

Fei Jie laughed and said, “What can happen?” A hint of worry flashed in his eyes, but it was hidden from Fan Xian’s eyes.

As he looked at Fan Xian’s face, which was still as clean and dust-free as it had been more than ten years ago, he couldn’t help but think of the time when he had brought Fan Xian to dig up graves and enjoy corpses, and disemboweled him, and his heart dimmed slightly, as he chuckled softly, “In the future when you’re on your own, be careful, and don’t get cheated so often, like when you were a child.”

Fan Xian was slightly stunned, a strange emotion welling up in his heart as he hurriedly pursued, “Sir, what does that mean?”

Fei Jie scratched his head, not caring that his dandruff was flying about, and said, “It doesn’t mean anything, it’s just that you know that I’ve been wandering around the mountains for years, and I’ve rarely been by your side …… Well, the One Smoke and Ice that medicine, I haven’t been able to make sense of it with you, and it’s my fault.”

Fan Xian was so touched, hurriedly said, “Mr. This is not true, without you, we husband and wife do not know how many times we have died.”

Fei Jie laughed and didn’t say anything more.

The next day into the palace to thank the grace, Fan Xian is reluctant, but the face is still stacked with sincere gratitude smile, walking around the palace, especially in front of the empress dowager and the emperor, but also will be grateful to the heart out, and then smeared a layer of first-time father’s overwhelm and excitement, the performance of the wonderful.

All the way to walk, Zhu Palace in the snow has been no, quiet and elegant. Fan Xian is sitting in the east palace, looking at the crown prince in front of him, have a conversation. He looked at this Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace who was wearing a pale yellow shirt, looked at his face which seemed to be very sincere, and thought of the things that would happen in the near future, and for some reason, a few apologies were born in his heart.

At this moment, the Crown Prince was urging him to make peace with his aunt, his mother-in-law, and it was obvious that the Crown Prince was speaking with sincerity, he just didn’t know whether he was thinking from Fan Xian’s or the Eldest Princess’s standpoint.

“Forget about the things of the past, just like what this palace said to you in the Moon Embracing Building, why should the things of our elders affect our present?”

The Crown Prince spoke calmly and patted Fan Xian’s shoulder.
