Xu Jing wants to apprentice, on the one hand, he and Tang Yin are close friends, and if the two can become brothers, it would be a good thing. On the other hand, it is also because he admires Fang Jifan's personality. Of course...... It was to admire Fang Jifan's distinctive things, not the kind of vulgar words.

But he didn't expect that in the end, Fang Jifan refused to ask him as an apprentice.

Looking at Xu Jing's extremely disappointed face, Tang Yin finally couldn't help but say, "Why did Brother Xu give up? In fact, the teacher is a soft-hearted person, as long as Brother Xu insists, the teacher will definitely agree. ”

Xu Jing couldn't help but smile bitterly, and the candle flame shone on his face, making him even more lonely: "Why do I want to give up, but ...... I can't help it, Engong dislikes me like this, if I still die and beg for nothing, won't I become the laughing stock of the world? ”

In the final analysis, it is still his family background and the arrogance in his bones, he wants to save face, and he is used to pretending to be forced to do so, but now he can't bear to be slapped in the face every day.

Tang Yin persuaded: "Actually, it's not impossible. ”

"Huh?" Xu Jing was stunned for a moment, as if he had seen hope all of a sudden.

Tang Yin said: "I heard Ouyang Zhi and several senior brothers talk about it, the teacher once relied on this, and obediently let the people in the mansion obey, since he can use this to force the people of the Fang family, then the teacher is a soft-hearted person after all." Maybe Brother Xu can also give it a try. It's just that this matter still needs the cooperation of Ouyang Zhi's three senior brothers, but this Ouyang Zhi's three senior brothers seem to have some prejudices against the foolish brothers......"

Tang Yin is a very talented person, but in terms of life, it seems to be a little worse.

What's more, the teacher is obviously very interested in Tang Yin's painting, and he praises him every once in a while, Tang Yin is very motivated, and now in his room, there are many unfinished paintings, and Ouyang Zhi and the three of them are scolded more, more or less, and their hearts will be pantothenic, which is human nature.

Xu Jing smiled, he knew something about Tang Yin, and he understood what Tang Yin meant.

However, this kind of dealing with and making friends is what Xu Jing and other children of the family are best at: "This is easy, the most important thing to make friends is to break the knot, I think Ouyang Zhi is the same year, and he is also an honest person, it is easy to get acquainted." ”

The lights and shadows here are swaying, and Tang and Xu are not sleeping for half a night, and they are planning something in a low voice.

The next day, Fang Jifan ordered Deng Jian to go to Zhan Shifu to take leave, and said that he was sick.

This is what he learned from Zhu Houzhao, in fact, in history, Zhu Houzhao often loves 'sick', in the Ming Shilu, there are many related records, when Fang Jifan reads history, he can often read 'East Palace Medicine', 'Shang Buhe, Temporary Drop from the Dynasty', 'I occasionally feel a slight cough', 'I feel sick and throat is very dangerous', 'abdominal pain', 'I bow occasionally disobey', 'I am sick because of qi' and so on.

In other words, during his time as the crown prince and emperor, this guy took countless sick leaves, either coughing or taking medicine, and never stopped treatment.

But when it came time to patrol the army, to sneak out of the palace and run to Datong to fight the Tatars, or to patrol the south of the Yangtze River, he suddenly became fierce, as if he were a god.

Whether he is really sick or pretending to be sick, when Fang Jifan is reading history, it is not easy to make any evaluation, but pretending to be sick and not going to study there is what Fang Jifan saw with his own eyes.

Growing watermelons is a chore, but Zhu Houzhao didn't dare to fake his hands to others, for fear that those eunuchs who were not careful would toss his 'champion Hou' to death, except for his own watering and fertilization, only Fang Jifan was allowed to help.

But Fang Jifan just wants to make money, he doesn't want to farm, your uncle, this young master is a companion, not a little expert in planting melons.

So...... Early in the morning, Fang Jifan lay on the couch and called twice, even if he was occasionally infected with a cold, and then sent Deng Jian to Zhan Shifu, saying that he was not in good health, he was afraid that he would catch a cold, depending on his physical condition, and when he was cured, he would go later.

If you don't go today, it means that you won't be sick that day.

This kind of leave seems to be much more sincere, at least it looks like this.

What's more, although it is now close to the end of February, it is still cold, and it is common to get cold.

He was enthusiastic in the mansion to let Xiao Xiangxiang loosen his bones, crossed his legs, drank tea, Tang Yin sent him a painting, Ouyang Zhi and the three of them, without saying a word, added coal to the stove at Fang Jifan's feet, and hot wine for hot wine, the four protégés were very filial and considerate, of course, compared with Xiao Xiangxiang, it was far behind.

Fang Jifan couldn't help but feel that he really hoped that it would be better to lie down like this all the time, in his own opinion...... I'm going to fall.

At noon, after lunch, take a nap, this sleep was very sound, and when he woke up, Fang Jifan found that Xu Jing's house seemed to be gone.

This guy ...... Did you run away?

There is no future, I originally wanted to sharpen your sharpness, but I couldn't stand it like this, of course, Fang Jifan wouldn't ask Tang Yin, and he couldn't show that he cared about that guy.

Who knew that at this time, Menzi came and said, "Childe, someone is coming from the palace, someone is coming from the palace." ”

"Who's coming?"

"No...... I don't know. ”

Fang Jifan glared at him; "Please come in."

"It's very strange, the people in the palace said that Your Majesty has an edict, and only Gongzi is allowed to listen to it, and everyone else must avoid it."

Fang Jifan's body was shocked, Your Majesty is very interesting, could it be that there is something important and secret that needs to be explained to yourself? It seems that he has been simplified in the emperor's heart and has won the trust of His Majesty.

So he retreated left and right, and asked the envoy to come in.

When I arrived in the hall, I saw a eunuch at the head, followed by an old woman, and then ...... It turned out to be Princess Taikang.

The princess walked in broken steps, not squinting, supported by the old mamma, as if she felt a little embarrassed, and her face was a little crimson.

Fang Jifan was stunned.

I saw the eunuch said: "Fang Zongqi, today Her Royal Highness the princess went out of the palace for a follow-up, the slave maid was originally to respect the order of the mother, escorting His Royal Highness to the Zhan Mansion, waiting for the prince to come, who expected that Fang Zongqi was infected with the wind and cold, saying that it would be later to go to the Zhan Mansion on duty, so he waited left and right, and did not see the figure of Fang Zongqi, the slave maid thought in her heart, Her Royal Highness the princess finally went out of the palace, if this is in vain, I am afraid that the queen will be punished, but if someone is sent to urge Fang Zongqi, not to mention that Fang Zongqi is unwell, Even if Fang Zongqi came and went, it would not be too early, so he took the liberty to pretend to pass on the edict and specially came to seek medical treatment. ”

"......" Fang Jifan didn't believe that this was the eunuch's own opinion, and he came to pretend to ask for medical treatment, he didn't have the courage, so he glanced at the princess, and said in his heart, this princess has some determination.

So he nodded and said, "It seems that if I don't come back to the doctor, I will not be relieved to come to my mother, this ...... It's excusable, Your Highness, please sit down, and the minister will show you. ”

At that glance, Zhu Xiurong felt that Fang Jifan seemed to have penetrated something, and she was a little shy in her heart, she still smiled lightly, and sat down according to her words, and the old lady stood beside her.

Fang Jifan couldn't help but be annoyed, and coughed: "Old lady, can you stand farther away, you put too much pressure on me like this." ”

The old lady always kept a straight face, without the slightest expression on her face, but she was helpless, so she had to take a few steps back.

Fang Jifan stepped forward and glanced at Zhu Xiurong with a smile, Zhu Xiurong was already beautiful, although he was younger, but his eyebrows were smoky, because of the cold, he was wearing a shawl with a fox hair peony pattern, and his slender jade hand subconsciously stretched out, asking Fang Jifan to take the pulse.

Fang Jifan pretended to put his fingers on her pulse.

Zhu Xiurong looked honored and disgraced, but the fast-beating pulse betrayed her.

Fang Jifan frowned and said, "Well, this pulse is a little fast. ”

When the grandmother behind her heard this, she suddenly became nervous.

Unexpectedly, Fang Jifan said to Zhu Xiurong: "Don't be nervous, I'm not a monster, I don't eat people." ”

Zhu Xiurong was slightly stunned at first, and then, the smile on his face became stronger, obviously, the reserved smile was pretended, but now this smile has a bit of sincerity.

"Hmm...... It's a lot smoother, it seems...... It's not a big deal, let's eat more meat. Fang Jifan quickly withdrew his hand, not too lightly.

"How?" The old lady couldn't help but ask worriedly, "What is the reason for this?" ”

Fang Jifan said: "The body is slimmer, eat more meat, you can be stronger, like the prince." ”

"......" The old lady can't wait to give herself an ear scraper, her mouth is so cheap, she knew that she shouldn't have taken his words.

Zhu Xiurong smiled, stretched out like condensed facial skin, and said timidly: "This palace doesn't like meat. ”

"It's weird, they are all born to a mother, and the prince loves meat."

“……”

The old lady coughed desperately, signaling Zhu Xiurong not to continue to talk to Fang Jifan.

Zhu Xiurong became cautious, bit his teeth slightly, and said with a slight straight face: "I heard from the imperial brother that Fang Zongqi always likes to scare people, and Fang Zongqi has the grace to save his life in this palace, and this palace is grateful." ”

When she spoke, she tried her best to show the majesty of the princess, as if the two parties were meeting.

The little girl looks like this, Fang Jifan sighed in his heart, beautiful is beautiful, and heartbeat is also exciting, but there are more stinky problems.

Zhu Xiurong continued: "It's just that there is a good word in this palace to persuade you, but I don't know if Fang Zongqi is willing to listen. ”

Fang Jifan said in his heart, you are a princess, you are older, of course you have to listen: "Please also advise." ”

Zhu Xiurong pondered for a moment: "Fang Zongqi must not learn from the emperor's brother who loves to mess around like that, and he must cherish the feathers......"

"Ahem...... Her Royal Highness the Princess, the minister has no feathers. ”

"......" Zhu Xiurong's face froze suddenly, took a deep breath, and then said with a smile: "What this palace means is to cherish your reputation, and you must not be criticized by others, you must know that people's words are terrible." Just like ...... The palace heard from the imperial brother that Fang Zongqi made a bet with others, forced the scholar to worship Fang Zongqi as a teacher, and also said that Fang Zongqi took advantage of the danger of others to humiliate the reader...... This...... It's very inappropriate, Fang Zongqi should be a sincere gentleman. ”
