Chapter Eighty-Four: To Each His Own Mind
Fan Sicheng stood aside and talked to Jiang Ju, glancing at Jiang Li from time to time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ Info that smile didn't escape his eyes.
Since he came, he had never seen Jiang Lilu's smiling face, he had always had such a plain and indifferent expression, and after getting the letter, he was first surprised, and then his eyes lit up, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles. The expression before and after changed too much, so he had to be suspicious.
Jiang Ju pulled Fan Sicheng's sleeve, tilted his head and continued to ask about Fan Sicheng's usual official duties: "Brother-in-law, did you kill anyone when you were enforcing the law?" "Hmm." Fan Sicheng thought about who sent the letter, but he didn't hear it clearly, so he replied casually.
"Wow!" Jiang Ju opened his mouth in shock, pulled Fan Sicheng's hand to look at it carefully, and smacked his tongue: "I didn't expect that such a pair of hands would also kill people." Brother-in-law, aren't you afraid when you kill someone! β
"Uh-huh?" Fan Sicheng came back to his senses and looked dazed, "What did you say?" β
Jiang Ju raised his voice: "I said, aren't you afraid when you kill someone?" β
"Nonsense, what do I kill. We all arrested people and went back to trial. Fan Sicheng said.
Jiang Li was calling: "Jiang Ju, come here." β
Seeing that Fan Sicheng also followed Jiang Ju over, Jiang Li stared at Jiang Ju's face and said softly: "Didn't the master usually assign a lot of homework, but after coming here for so long today, he didn't go back to do his homework." β
Jiang Ju pouted, "The first time my brother-in-law came, I couldn't talk to him more?" Jiang Ju had grown below Fan Sicheng's shoulders, only half a head shorter than Jiang Li, and the half-grown kid began to have his own opinions.
Fan Sicheng stretched out his hand to hug Jiang Ju's shoulder, and said with a smile in a loving tone: "Look at how sweet this kid's mouth is!" β
Jiang Li's face changed: "Who asked you to call you brother-in-law?" β
"Hey, I've been calling for a long time. As soon as I came back, everyone in the house said soγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Jiang Ju said puzzled.
"You are not allowed to call him that way in the future, you can call him Fan Gongzi, Fan Sicheng or the third brother, but you can't call him brother-in-law. If you don't do your homework yet, beware of the master hitting you again tomorrow! Jiang Li said with a straight face.
In the past three years, the sister and brother have gotten along quite well, Jiang Ju knows Jiang Li's temperament, she has a straight face, that is, she admits the truth, and she will be annoyed if she doesn't follow her.
Jiang Ju raised his eyes to look at Fan Sicheng, "Then, I'll call you third brother?" Remember to come to me next time you come. I have a lot more to ask you. After speaking, he glanced at Jiang Li and walked out of the garden in a daze.
"And you," Jiang Li's chin turned at Fan Sicheng, and his hand touched the two boxes on the table, "You should go too." And these two boxesγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
"Can you not recognize what you have received with your own hands? Not to mention the words of the matchmaker of the parents, even the old grandmother agreed. Fan Sicheng's face was slightly cold.
Jiang Li was slightly stunned, "Then I'll put it away for the time being, and I should give you a chance, and also give myself a chance." β
At this time, she was still thinking about another chance? Fan Sicheng's eyes flashed. In other words, he was most afraid of her uncertain look about the future.
Jiang Li sent him out of Tingyuxuan's door, with a smile on his face, respectful and alienated.
Fan Sicheng turned out of the garden, holding a piece of white jade tightly in the palm of his right hand, and his face was as cold as a layer of ice. Fan Sangongzi, who didn't even put the first son in his eyes, felt chilled for the first time.
There was a wry smile on his lips. The gift of the two boxes of pearls was indeed too light, but it also made him determine a pending matter.
He was holding this piece of family heirloom treasure jade in his hand, but fortunately he didn't take it out just now, if her attitude was still the same as just now, he would definitely be even more unwilling.
Xiangguoji Temple, four-cornered pavilion.
Opposite Fan Sicheng sat a python robe and brocade robe, and the eighth prince Zhao Frame. A pair of scrolls spread out on the table in front of him. Zhao Frame is carefully unfolded horizontally, and it is a beautiful landscape painting.
There are streams and bridges in the picture, Yupu Zhou Zhu is intertwined, the green mountains are faint, the egrets are flying together, and the whole painting uses the method of draping linen to paint a vibrant Jiangnan beauty.
The handsome face of the eighth prince Zhao Frame approached the drawing paper for a long time, and seeing that Fan Sicheng had been silent, he raised his head and looked displeased: "Why don't you say anything?" Is it that when it comes to the matter of the girl of the Jiang family, you have to hide it from me like you did from Qin Yuanhua before? β
"That's why you arranged for me to check that batch of goods with Qin Yuanhua. When it happens, he only shares half of you, and I am only responsible for you. It is also appropriate to have reservations about him. But I'm sure I won't hide it from you! Fan Sicheng was in a hurry, raised his head, and wanted to get up.
The eighth prince waved and said, "That's it, I said that there is no need to be formal in private. Say, I'll hand you two boxes of water net beads to the little girl of the Jiang family, what kind of performance did she see? But like you know? β
Fan Sicheng thought for a while, "She didn't seem to know that it was Shui Jingzhu at first, but then she was surprised when she heard that she got it from Qingzhou." Thinking that the rest of the goods were not in her hands, she just heard the surname Xiao mention it. β
Zhao Jiao's eyes did not leave the painting, and nodded: "It's possible." He said at the time that Miss Jiang wouldn't hide anything from him, thinking that they had a good relationship at that time, maybe Miss Jiang also knew that he had the goods in his hand. β
After speaking, the eighth prince Zhao Jian seemed to feel inappropriate, and added: "But I think their expressions are also polite and polite, and there should be no other relationship." Besides, they haven't been in touch for the past three years, don't think about it. β
Fan Sicheng said: "Didn't the surnamed Xiao come to the capital again, why don't we ask him directly?" β
Zhao Frame stood up from the front of the painting, sighed lightly and said, "This time he came with a different identity. I heard that the lord of Nan Chen had recognized him as a younger brother before, so he also became the prince of Nan Chen. β
It was only later that I heard that he asked the lord of Nanchen to withdraw the title of prince, and chose to become the imperial merchant of Nanchen, and became a businessman in earnest. Even if he enters Beijing now, we can't deal with him head-on. β
"First, he is a businessman, or the imperial merchant of Nan Chen. Second, his identity is also there, after all, he is the younger brother of the lord of Nan Chen, and now Nan Chen's national power is flourishing day by day, which is no longer comparable to the past, so we can't do things as casually as before. If I had known that he was Xiao Yu, I wouldn't have helped him three years ago. β
Zhao Jian sat down and stared at the drawing paper for a long time: "But we must find a way to get that batch of goods." If the light is not good, let's come to the dark. β
Fan Sicheng suddenly felt a little uneasy, "Since you also said that Jiang Li may have nothing to do with the surname Xiao, our plan should not include her." β
Zhao Frame nodded: "In the future, she will not cause trouble, we don't have to calculate her, but if she interacts with Xiao Yu again, then we will also help you by calculating her." β
Fan Sicheng raised his head, his back was straight, and his expression was cold. (To be continued.) )
