Even though it had just snowed heavily, there were many people coming and going on the official road into the city, most of them were people who went into or out of the city to visit relatives and friends, driving or walking, with the joy of the New Year on their faces.

Yang Huairen rode forward, joking with the two brothers around him from time to time, and suddenly a small man who looked like a guy rushed out of the oncoming crowd and stopped in front of Yang Huairen's horse.

Yang Huairen reined in the horse, and when he saw that it was a servant of his own family, he asked, "Little Liuzi, what's wrong, didn't you go to the city to send a name?" ”

The servant named Xiao Liuzi was still a half-grown child, and it seemed that he had just run all the way, running so red that his face was fluttering and he was panting.

"Grandpa, no, it's not good......"

Yang Huairen jumped off the horse in disbelief, grabbed his shoulder and asked, "What's wrong?" You breathe and then speak slowly. ”

Xiao Liuzi clutched his chest and gasped a few times, and then he made it clear, "Boss, no, no, no." ”

Yang Huairen frowned, "What? Who do you say can't do it? Which boss? ”

"Yes, it's Fan Xianggong, he can't do it."

"Huh?"

Yang Huairen didn't have to think about it, he knew who Fan Xianggong was in Xiao Liuzi's mouth, because only Fan Chunren's status could be called Xianggong.

"What the hell is going on, you make it clear!"

Xiao Liuzi wiped the sweat oozing from his forehead with his sleeve, "Fang Cai Xiaodi was ordered to go to the city to send the name, and when he arrived at Fan Xianggong's mansion, he went out to greet a Fan Xianggong's son.

He accepted the name of his grandfather, but he was not happy, but his face was full of sadness, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped. Xiao Di was puzzled, so he asked if Fan Xianggong's mansion was encountering any difficulties.

The disciple of the Fan Mansion said that Fan Xianggong had been sick a few years ago, and his health was getting worse day by day, and it seemed that he had not been alive for a few days, and then he sighed.

Xiao Di didn't know what to do, and he had to say some comforting words for the New Year, and he was about to come back to tell his grandfather, when the son of Fan Mansion suddenly grabbed Xiao Di, and begged Xiao Di to come back and beg his grandfather to go to Fan Xianggong's mansion to see Fan Xianggong for the last time. ”

Yang Huairen's mood immediately became a little heavy. Although Fan Chunren does not have much contact with him, they still have a good relationship with each other, and there are many times when Yang Huairen was slandered by some ill-intentioned people in the court, Fan Xianggong stood on his side and supported him.

In the court, there are many people who can talk to Yang Huairen, but there are very few people who can really talk to them as friends.

In Yang Huairen's eyes, Fan Chunren is like an old-timer, and the relationship between them is like a teacher and a friend, and if Fan Chunren is really critically ill at the moment, Yang Huairen must rush over to see him for the last time.

"Little Liuzi, you go back first."

After saying that, Yang Huairen turned his head and turned on his horse, and immediately rode his horse and galloped, rushing to Fan Chunren's house.

Seeing the situation, Brother Hei Niu and Ke Xiaochuan also urged the horses to catch up, and the three horses galloped on the official road, the horses kicked up the snow, and the passers-by also hurriedly flashed to the side and made way for them.

Entering the city from the West Gate, the city is more lively, the Song Dynasty was popular to go out shopping on the first day of the New Year, many shops on the street may not have opened for business, but many small merchants and vendors will set up small stalls during the Chinese New Year, filling both sides of the street.

Unlike the usual markets, most of the products they sell have something to do with the New Year, such as all kinds of small toys that children like, candy men or face-painted noodle figures, little ladies like headbands, flower hairpins, earrings, and all kinds of snacks and small decorations such as window flower peach charms.

Yang Huairen originally planned to buy some small toys suitable for little babies and go back to play with the two children, but now he didn't have that kind of mood, so he just hurried to Fan Xianggong's mansion.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of Fan's house, he jumped off his horse, threw the reins to a welcoming servant in front of the door, and rushed into the door with great strides.

Seeing Yang Huairen's aggressiveness, the family members of the Fan Mansion were startled, although most of them didn't know who he was, it could be seen that he was dressed up, and they could guess that this was a nobleman, so no one dared to come up to stop him.

Yang Huairen walked all the way and asked loudly, "Where is Fan Xianggong?" Where is Fan Xianggong? ”

The little maids and maids in Fan's Mansion were all suppressed by his fierce momentum, where was anyone willing to answer him?

Yang Huairen was impatient, so he grabbed a stunned little guy casually, grabbed someone's collar and asked, "Tell me quickly, where is Fan Xianggong?!" ”

The little guy was pulled by him and was sore, so he had to point in the direction of the middle hall with a frightened face, and Yang Huairen pushed him away and rushed to the middle hall again.

But when he strode into the middle hall, he almost spewed out a mouthful of old blood out of anger.

Fan Xianggong and Lu Xianggong, the old partners, are sitting opposite each other around a group table, with a few small dishes on the table, and the two old men are toasting and toasting, without the slightest intention of being critically ill.

Seeing Yang Huairen rushing in in a hurry, the two old men actually looked at each other and smiled, which made Yang Huairen almost lose his breath.

He walked into the group table, sat down unceremoniously, and stared at Fan Chunren's face with wide eyes. Speaking of which, since Fan Chunren took power in Zhao Xu, he has been recuperating at home from illness.

After all, he is already over the age of six, his face must not look as good as before, the traces of time seem to be more and more obvious on his face, a few glasses of wine, his cheeks are rosy, but this is also setting off his face is slightly pale.

Yang Huairen took a long breath before he sat up straight, crossed his hands on his waist and asked, "I said Fan Daxianggong, didn't you say that you are critically ill and have nothing to live in a few days?" But according to the kid now, you are very old-spirited. ”

Lu Dafang covered his mouth and snickered on the side, but Fan Chunren took a wine glass and put it in front of Yang Huairen unhurriedly, and slowly filled it with a wine jug, and then said with a smile, "Don't you say that, old man, will you Yang Dajun come to my house to see my useless old bones?" ”

Yang Huairen looked at him more and more angry, and said in his heart Originally, I went to the city, and after visiting the mother and daughter of King Jia's Mansion, I would also stop by to visit the two elders, but I was deceived by you in this way, so I can't admit it.

"I said Fan Xianggong, your old man also knows that you are an old bone? I don't think that's the case, but I'm also old and fine, it's a white bone spirit! ”

Fan Chunren naturally knew Yang Huairen, and when he saw that he still had the heart to joke, he knew that he was fine, so he smiled and said, "Yang Jungong is not angry with the old man, you see, the old man personally poured you wine, isn't it okay to compensate you?" ”

Yang Huairen will not really be angry with these two old naughty boys, seeing that they are in good health, in fact, he has already put his mind at ease, and he has already rushed all the way to dry his mouth at this time, and he doesn't need to be polite to them, so he grabbed the wine glass and drank it all.

After drinking, he pointed to the wine glass, "Another glass!" ”
