Fang Zi'an returned home and stood in the empty hall, not knowing what to do for a while. There was a dead silence in the room, and the silence was terrible. Although Zhang Ruomei is not a noisy person on weekdays, she walks quietly, most of the time Fang Zi'an talks a lot, Zhang Ruomei just takes two sentences. But at least there's someone to talk to. There was a person busy in the house, and Fang Zi'an also felt stable in his heart.

But now, Zhang Ruomei is gone, but the silence in front of her makes Fang Zi'an extremely uncomfortable, and even a little panicked.

In the west wing, Zhang Ruomei sleeps on the bed on weekdays, the bedding is neatly folded, and the things are neatly packed, but the person who lives here is gone.

Fang Zi stood still for a moment and returned to his room, wanting to lie on the bed and sleep for a while to soothe his tired body and mind. But as soon as he lay on the bed, his nose smelled the breath left by Zhang Ruomei from last night's lingering on the pillow. Thinking of the sweetness and tears of last night, thinking of Zhang Ruomei's tenderness and love like the sea, and thinking of the crazy joy again and again, Fang Zi'an was even more uncomfortable.

The Si people are gone, and we don't know when we will see each other again. Fang Zi'an buried his head in the pillow, and unconsciously, he actually shed tears.

After all, I was physically and mentally exhausted, and I didn't sleep all night last night, and I was very tired physically and mentally at the moment. So, not long after, Fang Zi'an fell asleep. I don't know how long it took, Fang Zi'an was awakened by the sound of the courtyard door. He sat up and listened intently to the movement outside. There was footsteps in the yard.

"Fang Gongzi, is Fang Gongzi at home?" A woman's voice shouted in the courtyard.

Fang Zi'an got out of bed and came to the long window to check, only to see a young woman standing in the courtyard, looking into the house.

"Who is the girl? What do you want me to do? Fang Zi'an shouted.

The woman looked at the sound and saw Fang Zi'an standing in front of the window, and hurriedly said: "Young Master Fang, I was sent by Miss Qin to invite Young Master to the banquet, and I already came to say hello yesterday, is Young Master Fang ready?" The carriage is outside, let's go. ”

Fang Zi'an thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well, so I won't go today, and please go back to Miss Qin, just say that Zi'an will bother you another day." ”

The woman was stunned and said, "Fang Gongzi is sick?" ”

Fang Zi'an said: "It's just that I'm not feeling well, and it's not a big deal." Girl, please come back. I'm so sorry. ”

The woman was about to say anything more, but saw that Fang Zi'an had already closed the window. I had no choice but to shout: "Okay, son, take care of it, I'll go back and report to Miss Qin." ”

The woman turned around and walked outside the courtyard, and suddenly Fang Zi'an's voice came from behind: "Girl, wait, I'll go with you." Wait a moment and tidy up a bit. ”

Half an hour later, in the pavilion in the back garden of Qing Garden, Fang Zi'an and Qin Xiqing were already sitting opposite each other on the side of the stone table full of wine and food.

Qin Xiqing was in a very happy mood, and she could see that she had deliberately dressed up today, wearing a lake green long skirt, her figure became more and more curvy, and her style was like that.

"Zi'an, today we will specially set up a banquet for you to catch the wind and wash the dust. It stands to reason that you should have been invited here yesterday, but I think you should want to take a day off after the big exam, so I changed it to today. You don't blame me. ”

Fang Zi'an picked up the wine glass and said, "Thank you, how can I blame you." It's true that I wanted to rest for a day yesterday, but the Autumn House was a prison, and it almost cost me my life after three days of exams. But fortunately, it is in the past. ”

Qin Xiqing smiled and said: "That's also a matter of no way, you have to endure hardships to become a master." Actually, I was going to pick you up yesterday, but I was afraid that it would be too blatant and cause unnecessary trouble, so I didn't go. I toast you and deserve to apologize. ”

Qin Xiqing covered her mouth with her sleeve and took a small sip. Fang Zi'an also raised his neck and drank all the wine in the cup.

"Xiqing didn't ask how the son did in the exam, you said that you must win. Xiqing just waited for the good news. Putting down the wine glass, Qin Xiqing dipped the silk handkerchief in the non-existent wine stains at the corner of her mouth, and said with a smile.

Fang Zi'an smiled bitterly: "That's just bragging, who dares to say that it will be hit?" In short, I did my best, and if I didn't hit it, I would see the will of God. If you win, it's the best, and if you don't win, I'll open the noodle shop, and it's not a big deal. ”

Qin Xiqing said with a smile: "Why is it that today is a little decadent, and the words you say are not like what you say." Are you going to open a noodle shop? That's going to laugh to death. Are you like that? ”

Fang Zi'an didn't speak, just looked at the scenery outside the pavilion.

Qin Xiqing thought for a while and smiled, "What? Is there anything you don't want to tell me? When I saw you, I felt that something was wrong with your mood today. It seems to be full of thoughts. Could it be that I'm overthinking? ”

Fang Zi'an sighed and said, "It's okay to tell you, Ruomei ...... Let's go. ”

Qin Xiqing was stunned and said in surprise: "Miss Zhang's left?" Where did it go? ”

Fang Zi'an said: "Go and find her brother." I only sent her aboard in the morning. Hey, I'm feeling very uncomfortable. Her brother was in the occupied area occupied by the Northland Jin, which was a very dangerous place, and her visit, hey, was worrying. ”

Fang Zi'an briefly told Qin Xiqing about the situation, of course, he didn't tell Qin Xiqing what happened to the two of them last night.

Qin Xiqing pondered for a moment and said softly: "I see. Childe turned out to be in a bad mood for this matter, and it seems that Childe seems to have affection for Miss Ruomei. ”

Fang Zi'an smiled bitterly: "People are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless." What's more, she lived with me for months. I even want to marry her. ”

Qin Xiqing was stunned, then returned to normal, and said softly: "Fortunately, you just think about it, you can marry anyone, but Miss Ruomei can't marry." ”

Fang Zi'an frowned and said, "How do you say this?" ”

Qin Xiqing said with a straight face: "Then do you still need me to pick it out?" Her identity is too sensitive. If you marry her, sooner or later you'll get into trouble. You don't have to think that the old thief will stop the assassination, secretly he will continue to investigate. Her identity can be concealed for a while, but sooner or later it will be revealed. Once exposed, you can imagine what the consequences will be. You married the daughter of a criminal minister of the court, and you were also an assassin who assassinated Qin Hui, and the consequences were unimaginable. ”

Fang Zi'an frowned and drank, of course he knew that what Qin Xiqing said was right, Zhang Ruomei had said the same thing last night, and that was the case.

Qin Xiqing said: "Actually, it's best if Miss Ruomei leaves." She may have realized that staying in the capital will sooner or later reveal her identity, which will be bad for her, you, and everyone. That day, the prince and Lord Shi actually had the same opinion, but it was not easy to say. Although it is said that Miss Ruomei should respect and protect her after being Zhongliang, it is true that it is not a good idea for her to stay in the capital. Her going to the Northland to find his brother was also a way out. ”

Fang Zi'an frowned and said, "How can you be so realistic, how can you treat her like this?" How dangerous is the land where the Jin people fell, so did they ignore her safety? Wang Ye and Master Shi didn't say that in front of her. What the prince said is good, what is loyal and good, what is admired. Master Shi said that it was even more undeserved, he was favored by Zhang Tong. The daughter of Zhang Tongzhi is also the daughter of his benefactor, how can he be like this. ”

Qin Xiqing looked at Fang Zi'an and said softly: "Son, don't be impatient, it seems that you are indeed in love with her, otherwise you would not be so excited." But don't get emotional. Things have to look at the overall situation, under the current situation, the old thief is eager to catch the handle to deal with the prince, of course, we must be careful. From their standpoint, what do you want them to think? ”

Fang Zi'an sighed, knowing that what Qin Xiqing said was also the truth. It's useless to be willful, from a certain point of view, Zhang Ruomei's departure seems to be beneficial to everyone. But the truth is this truth, and in the end, I feel a little uncomfortable. Thinking about Zhang Ruomei's experience, I feel even more sorry for her, and I pity her even more.

"Zi'an, if you really like her, don't dwell on this matter. In the future, after overthrowing the old thief and rehabilitating Zhaoxue for Marshal Yue Zhang, all obstacles will no longer exist, and when you want to marry her, Xiqing will be the first to congratulate you. It's just that at the moment, it really can't be so. No wonder Xiqing said such a thing, it sounded a little harsh, but this is the truth, isn't it? Qin Xiqing said softly.

Fang Zi'an took a long breath and said, "Your words are right, I'm just depressed." I only hate myself for being incompetent, I only hate myself for being too weak and insignificant. The more I knew about these things, the more I felt that I was as powerless as an ant, and this feeling was very uncomfortable. ”

Qin Xiqing stretched out her hand and put it on the back of Fang Zi'an's hand, and said softly: "Zi'an, don't be arrogant, you will make great achievements, but the current situation can only be a little forbearance, and you can only suffer some grievances." Moreover, in the current situation, it is not necessary to act too recklessly. I heard that you had a quarrel with Qin Hui's grandson Qin Tan at the gate of the Gongyuan, and he couldn't get off the stage, right? ”

Fang Zi'an smiled bitterly: "You also know about this. Looks like I'm wrong again. ”

Qin Xiqing said: "How could I not know. Hey, how do you say hello to me? Why do you provoke him? provoked that Qin Tan for no reason, and the consequences were very serious. That Qin Tan...... It's not a good stubble. You're asking for trouble for yourself. ”

Fang Zi'an said: "I just can't ignore him doing evil in front of me. The more I do that in front of those students, the more I have to give them a step down, that is, to teach them the truth that evil does not prevail over good. Let them know to speak up. Otherwise, everyone will acquiesce to his evil deeds and will not come out to speak, and no one will dare to resist in the future. Some things often only require one person to stand up and take the lead in piercing the window paper. There were also many students who were on our side that day. ”

Qin Xiqing said: "It turns out that you think so, which makes Xiqing a little surprised." I thought you were just a momentary mood. ”

Fang Zi'an smiled bitterly: "It turns out that in your heart, I am an impulsive and stubborn person. ”

Qin Xiqing smiled and said, "You know I don't think so. You're doing this with a lot of ideas, but you're probably getting yourself in a big problem. You know what? ”
