Fang Zi'an returned to the Fang family's small courtyard at noon, although he didn't have much belongings, he still had some things to pack.

Pushed the door into the courtyard, and the courtyard was a mess. More than a dozen banana trees on the east side were broken off, and the dense green vines on the wall were all torn off. A few vegetable furrows on the west side were also trampled in a mess. Obviously, I don't know if it was the officers and soldiers or Qin Tan's people who carried out an almost carpet search here. Almost all the grass and trees in the small courtyard were destroyed.

However, Fang Zi'an saw at a glance the mark on the ground under the broken banana tree near the left of the corner, which was a sign that he had sprinkled dead branches on the ground as a sign of whether the soil had been turned. At this moment, although the dead branches are scattered, they are still in place, which means that a large box of blades, bows, arrows, leather equipment, flying knives and other things hidden under the banana tree have not been found. This put Fang Zi'an at ease.

These things are naturally not suitable to be taken out at this moment, and only after a period of peace can they come back and take them secretly.

Fang Zi walked slowly along the bluestone path to the house, although it was only a dozen steps away, but the ground along the way was bloodstained, showing a black-brown color after drying. The autumn sun was shining, the heat was steaming the moist ground, and the warm and humid air was filled with a clearly discernible smell of blood.

The situation in the room was even worse, tables and chairs overturned, beds and cabinets were overturned to the floor, and things were scattered all over the floor. The dozen taels of silver stored in the cabinet naturally disappeared without a trace, and I don't know who took the sheep by the hand. Clothes and other objects were thrown everywhere, and they were full of mud footprints.

Fang Zi'an sighed, took out the sheets and spread them on the table, simply packed up a few clothes and some books, brushes and other things, randomly wrapped a package on his shoulder and walked out of the house, slowly walked to the door of the small courtyard, turned around and looked at the small courtyard where he had lived for three years, and felt a little embarrassed in his heart.

Although it is dilapidated, it has been my home for three years. The house is dilapidated, but it still shelters itself from the wind and rain. I'm about to leave here now, and I'm afraid I won't be coming back to live in the future. It is conceivable that it will soon be swallowed up by wild grass, and the house will collapse and be destroyed by the wind and rain, and it will become a terra nullius. Although Fang Zi'an had already had the idea of moving out of here, he really wanted to buy a new house outside and move away, after all, Sanyuanfang is actually not a good place to live, and this small courtyard is not a good place to live. But leaving at this moment, there is still a trace of reluctance and sadness in my heart.

The big water tank under the eaves is the bathtub where I take a bath. The plantain tree was planted by himself, and on countless rainy nights, he fell asleep with the sound of the rain hitting the plantain when his thoughts were complicated. Moreover, his east wing room is the place where he and Zhang Ruomei are in the cave room, which is actually the first happy moment in Fang Zi'an's life, leaving him with infinitely good memories.

Although the mood is a little complicated, it is true that this place can no longer be inhabited, and leaving this place is actually the beginning of a new life, which is not a bad thing. If it weren't for this incident, I might not have been able to make up my mind.

Thinking of this, Fang Zi'an stretched out his hand to pull the courtyard door, turned around and went down the stone steps, and strode towards the alley with the package on his back.

……

In the backyard of the noodle shop, Chunni looked at Fang Zi'an's depressed face and dark blue eyes with a surprised expression. Fang Zi'an suddenly came to the shop with a large package, which made Chunni, who had not heard from Fang Zi'an for several days, very happy, and threw down her kitchen work to talk to Fang Zi'an. The old man chopped his feet angrily, and a large group of diners were waiting to eat noodles, so Fang Zi'an didn't care about this girl when he came. But he had no choice, so he had to go to the kitchen and work with Liu Er in person.

"Childe, what's wrong? What's wrong with the eyes? Got into a fight? Are those thugs looking for you trouble? Also, what are you carrying this big package on? Where is this going? Chunni asked nervously.

"Don't worry, it's just that I accidentally hit the tree, it doesn't matter. Chunni, I'm here to tell you that my ancestral house in Sanyuanfang has been sold, and you don't want to go to that small courtyard in the future, it is already in someone else's house. Fang Zi'an said with a smile.

"Huh? Did you sell your ancestral home? So where will you live in the future? Chunni said in surprise.

"I'm looking for a new home, and I'll have a new home soon, don't worry." Fang Zi'an.

Chunni was stunned for a long time, then suddenly her expression twisted, she lowered her head and pinched the corner of her clothes and said, "Are you thinking about changing to a new house because we are about to get married and think that the small courtyard is too shabby?" Actually, you don't have to be like this, as long as Chunni can be with her son, it doesn't hurt to live in a thatched house. As long as I'm with you, I don't care about anything. ”

Fang Zi'an was stunned, knowing that Chunni would be wrong. But he couldn't bear to debunk it, and immediately followed her words: "How can that be done?" If I want to marry you, I naturally want to buy a decent house for you to live in. You don't care, the matter is already in the boat, and I haven't had time to discuss it with you. In short, you don't have to go to the old house, and the new house will be bought soon. ”

Chunni said gratefully: "You are really good to me, Chunni will serve her son well in the future and repay her son well." ”

Fang Zi'an felt guilty for deceiving this simple girl, but he didn't need to say it too clearly. If Chunni is told the truth, she must not be scared to death. So he took Chunni's hand and said, "There will be a good life in the future, you can rest assured." ”

Chunni nodded, her heart full of happiness. Suddenly, she said, "Then where do you live now?" You brought a package, did you want to move with me...... Do you live together? That's great, do you want to live here, or do you want to live at home? I'll go and clean up the house for you and settle you down. ”

Fang Zi'an hurriedly said: "I live in a friend's house, you don't have to be busy." ”

Chunni was disappointed: "Why do you live in someone else's house? Why don't you live in your own home? ”

Fang Zi'an smiled: "If we live together before we get married, wouldn't it be gossiping." Besides, I promised others, how can I live up to the kindness of others. The time is very short, at most three to five days, and when the new house is found, you can move in, you don't have to worry. ”

Chunni thought for a while and nodded, "Also, it's really not good for us to live together." I don't mean anything else, I mean...... We're not married. Although Chunni is not afraid of other people's gossip, my father will definitely be unhappy. It doesn't matter if you stay at a friend's house for a few days, and the new house is bought, and we get married, we won't be afraid of anything. ”

Fang Zi'an smiled: "Yes, it's good if you understand." I have to go and come back to see you in a few days. By the way, if someone comes to you and asks you about me, don't talk to them, don't say anything. Just go back and tell me I know. ”

Chunni was surprised: "Did something happen anyway?" ”

Fang Zi'an shook his head and said, "No, I'm just saying hello, you don't think much." ”

Chunni thought for a while and nodded: "We women shouldn't ask about men, I'll just listen to you." ”

Fang Zi'an reached out and pinched her face, smiling gratefully. Xin said: "I didn't mean to lie to you, but I really don't want to involve you, it's inconvenient and not beneficial for your father and daughter to live here, and I have no choice but to do it." ”

After having lunch at the noodle shop, Fang Zi'an said goodbye and left. Lao Zhangtou was very happy to learn that Fang Zi'an bought a new house in order to marry Chunni, and even praised Fang Zi'an for having a conscience. Of course, Lao Zhangtou didn't want Fang Zi'an to move in. knows her own family affairs, Chunni is good to Fang Zi'an, if Fang Zi'an lives in, something will definitely happen, and someone will poke her back. Although Fang Zi'an agreed to marry Chunni, he didn't have the gift of a matchmaker, and he didn't have a single word, so he couldn't make a scandal. Therefore, Lao Zhang Tou didn't even mention it.

In the afternoon, Fang Zi'an appeared in front of the Shi family's mansion in Liuyeer Hutong in Xingqingfang with a package on his back. To be honest, in fact, Fang Zi'an is unwilling to live in someone else's house, he would rather deal with it in the inn for a few days than live in someone else's house. I don't have a deep relationship with Shi Hao, and I always feel a little abrupt when I live in his house rashly. In addition, Fang Zi'an is used to being free and casual, and he always feels a little unaccustomed to living in other people's homes. And it seems to be a bit of a parasitic fence.

However, Shi Hao warmly invited, and Fang Zi'an also took into account some practical problems, such as not being sure what Qin Tan would do next. If Qin Tan was a knowledgeable person, he would naturally not go all the way to the dark. If he loses his mind because of anger and shame, then he will not force himself to break the net with him. Therefore, in fact, living in Shi Hao's house can actually hide his whereabouts temporarily and give Qin Tan an emotional buffer time. Hard steel opponents are of course Fang Zi'an's style, but that doesn't mean that they don't talk about strategy. Fang Zi'an can face the enemy head-on, mercilessly kill the enemy who invades the house, and there will never be the slightest retreat and timidity, but that is also the result of a strategic plan. Avoiding its edge is not retreat, but wisdom.

The tall Zhu Gate of the Shi family's mansion was closed, and a string of red lanterns hung on the high gatehouse. Fang Zi'an walked up the steps with the package on his back and knocked on the door, and soon a chubby head with gray hair poked its head out of the small door.

"Isn't this the son of Fang Zi An Fang?" The man looked at Fang Zi'an.

"It's down there. Master Shi didn't know if he could come back. Under ......"

"My family hasn't come back yet, but he has already told the old slave that Fang Zi'an Fang Gongzi will come. Someone is coming, don't open the door yet, please ask Fang Gongzi to come in. The old man exclaimed.

The door opened, and the old man stood at the door and introduced himself: "Old slave Stone, it is the steward of the Shi family, please come in." ”

Fang Zi'an smiled: "It turned out to be Steward Shi." Courteous. ”

Steward Shi smiled: "Don't dare, the son comes with me, my lord has already settled down, so I will lead the son to settle down." ”

Fang Zi'an hurriedly thanked him, followed the steward into the courtyard, and passed through the rockery pavilion, and a weeping flower arch appeared in the field of vision on the west side of the flower tree in the front hall of the rockery pavilion. Steward Shi led Fang Zi'an into the Hanging Flower Gate, and said with a smile: "This is it, is Fang Gongzi still satisfied?" This is my second into the West Garden, which was originally the master's study, and then the master's study moved to the back garden, and it was idle here. It's just right for Childe to come and live. ”

Fang Zi'an looked around a few times and saw that the courtyard was neat, the flowers and trees were neatly trimmed, and there was a small bamboo forest and a small pond in the corner of the yard, which was quite elegant. The three main rooms are also very exquisite, with black tiles and white walls, and the eaves of the corridor are simple.

"How can I live in such a nice compound, it's not good. Just have a room to live in. Fang Zi'an said with a smile.

Childe laughed, Childe is a distinguished guest, how can you treat it slowly. As long as the son is satisfied, the son will live with peace of mind, and arrange for two small servants to serve and send, and the tea and dinner will be specially delivered, and the son does not have to worry about being restrained. Except for the residence of the queen girl, the son can move around at will, so as not to be depressed. Steward Shi smiled.

Fang Zi'an nodded slightly, grateful to Shi Hao in his heart. This is indeed the way to treat guests.
