Chapter 34: The Gift

While the backyard experienced such an episode, the front hall of the Qing Mansion was also treacherous, but there was no smell of gunpowder, and not long after Prime Minister Fan and Secretary Changen sat down, Mr. Fan also rushed to the front hall.

Mr. Fan didn't just come to the Qing Mansion, he just felt that there were many bad people, walked around, and heard the next person report that Fan Li was coming, so he came here.

"Second brother!"

As soon as Prime Minister Fan saw Mr. Fan, he stood up from his position, such a "second brother" really contained too many feelings for him, but now his identity does not allow him to do so, the two glanced at each other, and finally pressed the waves under their eyes, and no longer said the words next to them.

Mr. Fan's eyes were a little red, and he looked at Fan Li for a long time, and then he looked away, "Follow me." The words fell, and Mr. Fan turned around and left the front hall regardless of the reactions of others.

Mr. Fan's temperament Xia Liguo can have a few things that are not clear, so for his behavior at this time, the big guy does not go to his heart, in other words, even if the water goes to his heart, it is unbearable for him.

Fan Li stood up from his position, said hello to his colleagues, got up and followed.

Although the guests were curious about what the two long-separated brothers were talking about, there was General Qing in charge at this time, and it was not easy for them to show their curiosity too obviously.

In the wings.

The people knew what to avoid, so there was no third person in the room except the brothers.

The two sat opposite each other, looking at each other, but neither of them was the first to speak.

Now Fan Li, who is in his forties, is the time when he is most energetic, the years have treated him well, and have not left too much time on him.

On the other side, Fan Lisheng, speaking of which, he really wants the old prime minister more, and his dusty temperament really shouldn't stay in the court where there are a lot of filthy things, he should belong to this boundless world.

"Why did you come back?"

Mr. Fan was not very happy about the appearance of his brother, and he could even hear it, and he was a little resistant in his heart?

Fan Li has been praised and respected for so many years, how can he have been treated in this tone, but ...... Looking at his own brother in front of him, Fan Li still didn't move, and there was even a little connivance hidden in his eyes.

"I heard that our Fan family has a pair of more children, how can I not take a look? If you don't recognize him today, he will meet him on the street every day, and he will be embarrassed if he can't recognize his own family. ”

Mr. Fan sneered and filled himself with a cup of tea, "Fan Xiang is joking, when did my son and daughter become your own family, he had already said that he would no longer be a member of your Fan family, Fan Xiang should go back earlier." ”

Fan Li looked at Mr. Fan's expression, for a long time, he sighed and put down the tea cup in his hand, he understood that his younger brother, just as he forgave his father, this family has been stiff for so long for the old things of the year, and it should be time to reconcile, he pursed his lips and said lightly:

"Come to think of it, if your father knows that you have children at this time, he should be happy for you, why don't you find a time to take them to Fan's house for a walk?"

"Fan Xiang said and laughed, my pair of children have nothing to do with your Fan family." Mr. Fan's stubborn temper is really annoying, Fan Li couldn't hold back in the end, and shouted: "Fan Lisheng! ”

He rarely called this brother by his name, and the few times he was really angry.

Mr. Fan was unmoved, staring at him with dead eyes, "What does the prime minister command?" ”

Fan Li was angry in his stomach, and when he saw Mr. Fan's red eyes at some point, he still softened his heart, and he sighed long, "My father has not had a good time these years, don't ...... it"

Before he finished speaking, Mr. Fan had already interrupted him, "On that day, my father-son relationship with him was exhausted, and I naturally will not have anything to do with him in this life. ”

It is said that Mr. Fan is naturally rebellious, and he can't pull back the eight horses that he believes, and Fan Li didn't think that he could change his mind overnight, and he came to the Qingfu today just to see him again.

"To this day, since you still care about the Fan family, don't say that your fate with my Fan family is over, and if you really remember that the Fan family has cholera, you might as well guard the Fan family's side of the world by yourself." Fan Li's voice was cold, with a bit of the superior's strength in his voice, "Besides, why do you need to tire me about your father, today you are a prime minister, but you don't even want my brother?" ”

Mr. Fan paused in his position for a long time, until a sneer came from the other side, he came back to his senses, and pushed Fan Li with both hands in his fists, "Brother is right, I was abrupt." ”

Although his attitude is still rusty, Fan Li is really satisfied.

Later, Fan Li insisted on seeing Qingmu and his brothers, and threatened to give his own meeting gift, Mr. Fan also understood his brother's temperament, and in addition, he even Fan Li gave away things that were naturally not vulgar things, so he was also happy to promote it, so he asked his subordinates to invite Qingmu and his brothers together.

Qing Mu still has a little impression of this prime minister, thinking that he has a good life, if it weren't for the untimely death of the prince, he would not have quit the officialdom so early and returned to his hometown.

Thinking of the Prince......

He was saved by Autumn Frost, and presumably this life will definitely change his fate.

When Mr. Fan saw the Qingmu sisters and brothers, his face looked much better, and he couldn't see how many people he had dumped before.

"Qing Mu Qingxi, come here, this is Prime Minister Fan, speaking of which, you should call him a big uncle." He introduced Fan Li to the two in a soft voice, looking at the two sisters and brothers who carved jade bracelets at this time, Mr. Fan felt more and more that this family recognized it was really wonderful!

Because of today's speciality, the sister and brother also dressed up deliberately.

Mr. Fan loosened more than a dozen boxes of ready-to-wear clothes in a row, and there were not a few rare treasures, probably thinking that he wanted to make up for the fatherly love owed to these two children in the past few years.

Qing Mu saw that his father was working so hard, so naturally he would not sweep his heart, of course, when she received the gift, she did not forget to show joy, and hugged Mr. Fan and sprinkled a lot of coquettishness, which made Mr. Fan laugh more than once.

"Qing Mu Qingxi, please say hello to the eldest uncle."

Qing Mu saluted in front, Qing Xi followed behind to study, the sisters and brothers were good-looking in their own lives, and they were carefully dressed up at this time, and they were like the golden boy and jade girl under the Guanyin seat, which attracted people's attention.

Fan Li was attracted to them as soon as he saw them, but he couldn't reveal his joy because of his own identity, and now he saw that the two sisters and brothers were so well-behaved to give him luggage, he hurriedly stepped forward and picked up the two, "Okay, good boy, hurry up." ”

It's really hard to imagine that Fan Li, who has lived for most of his life, heard a big uncle at this time and was even more excited than when he heard his own child call his father, thinking of this, Fan Li couldn't help but glance at Mr. Fan who was standing aside, and sighed.

Mr. Fan naturally understands what Fan Li's sigh is for, his children are more intimate than his own children!

This is really the most precious pair of treasures in his life, Mr. Fan approached the two of them, straightened their clothes again, and did not forget to instruct: "You don't need to kneel down when you see him in the future, just make a bow." ”

Mr. Fan's understatement made Fan Li angry, although he didn't mean that, but when Mr. Fan said this, it seemed that he was deliberately embarrassing these two children! Anyway, he is also the eldest uncle of these two children, so he always wants to save some face for her, right?

Fan Li sulked for a long time, thinking that his younger brother had always been so out of tune, so he adjusted his mentality in an instant.

I was about to say something, but I didn't expect Qing Mu, who was standing on the side, to be the first to speak, "My daughter understood, my daughter was stunned when she thought about the identity of the right minister, and when she heard her father say this, she remembered that we are a family, and we don't need those vulgar etiquette." ”

Fan Li's eyes were a little stunned, he looked at Qing Mu carefully, and saw that the little girl had red lips and white teeth, but at the age of seven or eight, she was already full of good bearing, dressed properly and cleanly, and her eyes were bright and bright.

Besides, the kid standing next to Qing Mu at this time, he is also dressed in decent clothes, although he is still young, but there is a bit of heroism between his eyebrows and eyes, and he must be able to grow into a man who stands tall in the sky and the earth in less than five years!

Fan Li's heart was turbulent, he only said that Mr. Fan wanted to recognize a pair of children, although he probably understood the situation of these two children, but he didn't think that with Qing Changen's qualifications, he could teach such a good child, sure enough, after such an investigation, the ending really disappointed him.

Although these two sons are from the general's wife, but there is no acne in the main house at all, one is arrogant and domineering, the other is timid and cowardly, he really doesn't understand what Mr. Fan looks down on these two children, if he Mr. Fan really wants a pair of children, isn't there a lot of talented and intelligent children in this capital waiting for him to choose?

Why do you want to reach out to Qing's house?

Could it really be what my father said, in order to completely break with them, he did not hesitate to form an alliance with their rival Qing family?

It is precisely because of this that since the recognition of relatives has been spread, the situation under the court has been surging, and those courtiers who have never expressed their stance have thrown olive branches to the secretary of state, this change made the old prime minister furious when he heard it, and he counted out one by one, and even threatened to never recognize this pair of children and grandchildren.

And Fan Li came this time just to see the appearance of this pair of children with his own eyes, if they are really as unbearable as rumored, then even if he loses everything he has, he has to prevent this recognition of relatives, so Fan Li knows very well that if Mr. Fan messes around, I am afraid that their father and son will not have a chance to turn around in this life.

And now it seems that the rumors are really unbelievable.

Mr. Fan didn't care about Fan Li's thoughts, but now that Qing Mu was looking for steps for him like this, how could he bear to refute her kindness, so he had to nod along with her words, "Yes, you don't need to do this to your uncle." ”

Although it was a little dry to say a word, but in the end it was still soft, which made Fan Li even more surprised, Mr. Fan, who has never eaten anyone's coercion and temptation, is now being led by a female doll? This simply made Fan Li reacquaint himself with the current Mr. Fan, and at the same time, he also rekindled hope.

It was precisely because of this that Fan Li's gaze at Qing Mu also became a little hot.

Qing Mumei's heart jumped, she didn't know what this gaze meant, but after all, he and Mr. Fan were in the same family, and Qing Mu believed that he would never do anything unfavorable to him.

"It's just some false courtesy, it's all my own family, and I don't have to pay attention to it on weekdays." Fan Li stood aside and finally added softly.

Mr. Fan couldn't help but glance at him, but in the end, he still didn't make a sound and lost his face.

"Didn't you say you had a gift for the two children?" Mr. Fan bluntly spread his palm towards Fan Li.

Fan Li glared at him fiercely, dissatisfied in his heart, how could he have a younger brother who played cards so unreasonably, and he was so embarrassed that everyone in the world called him sir!

Reaching out to ask for a gift in a grand manner, I am afraid that he is really the first one among Confucian scholars.

Qing Mu and Qing Xi also cast their eyes when they heard the "gift" at this time, and the inquiring eyes of the two really made Fan Li unable to refuse, and his mind turned, Fan Li took out two longevity locks and handed them to the two sisters and brothers.

"This is the gift that Uncle has prepared for you, I only wish you all the best in the future."

Before the sisters and brothers could say thank you, Mr. Fan first stood aside and sneered, "Do you still send a long-life lock?" I don't know, when did the Fan family become so poor? ”

In Mr. Fan's eyes, his children are worthy of the best treasures in the world, although his relationship with the Fan family is not close now, but he has always been named with the surname Fan, so the Fan family's gift can represent their future status in the Fan family.

Seeing his disdainful tone, Fan Li glanced at him angrily, and then looked at Qing Xi who was standing on the side with a soft voice, "What about you, do you like this gift from your uncle?" ”

Mr. Fan raised his voice with a sneer, "You ask a child, he can understand what is good and bad!" ”

Fan Li completely lost his patience with Mr. Fan, he looked at him with a straight face and shouted: "If you talk nonsense, get out!" ”

Don't look at Mr. Fan showing his teeth and claws in front of Fan Li, but this is only in a state where Fan Li is still in a good mood, if it really makes him unhappy, even Mr. Fan's temperament will be a little more restrained, he can turn around and leave, but his children are still here, how can he leave them!

Fan Li saw that he finally lost his voice, so he withdrew his gaze, turned his head and looked at Qing Xi on the side, where was there still half a minute of anger on his face, and the softness in his eyes at this moment seemed to be that the person who had just shouted at Mr. Fan was not him.

Under the guidance of Mr. Fan and Qing Mu, Qing Xi's growth in recent months has indeed improved by leaps and bounds, not only academically, but also physically, he is no longer the child who was afraid of anything and didn't dare to try anything.

On the way here, Qing Xi had already learned about the story of Fan Li in front of him from Qing Mu's mouth, and he admired Fan Li from the bottom of his heart, but just now his anger made Qing Xi shake his head, and it took a while to find his soul, and nodded at Fan Li, "I like it." ”

None of the people present could see that Qing Xi was still a little worried at the moment, so his answer at this time did not satisfy Fan Li, he pursed his lips, and after a long time, he looked at Qing Xi tentatively and continued to ask: "But Uncle has another treasure here, if Qing Xi doesn't like this in his hand, then Uncle is willing to give you another treasure until you are happy and satisfied?" ”

Qing Mu's heart chuckled, she naturally understood what Fan Li was doing at the moment, but Qing Xi in front of him was still ignorant.

At this time, he should have stabilized his mind, Qing Xi shook his head, looked up at Fan Li, and said word by word: "Qing Xi likes the gift from the uncle very much, this is the first time Qing Xi has received such a valuable gift, Qing Xi will definitely protect this gift well, thank you uncle." Saying that, Qing Xi obediently bent down deeply towards Fan Li, and his words and attitude were so sincere that he really couldn't find a thorn.

Fan Li frowned, and didn't give up a little, "But the next gift will be better, don't you want to take a look?" ”

Mr. Fan really can't stand Fan Li's various behaviors, the prime minister who is in power and the opposition, and now he has played tricks on Xiao Er, but he is really dizzy!

In other words, his Fan Lisheng's son has the turn of others to tempt!

Mr. Fan didn't like it, but Qing Mu, who was standing on the side, didn't take it to heart, if he could let Fan Li understand and believe in their sister and brother through this temptation, then why not do it?
