Chapter 162: The Farce Curtain Call

From a certain point of view, Xiao Huaiyuan and Fang Zheng are the same kind of people, this kind of person is greedy for life and afraid of death, greedy for money and lustful, not only stingy, but also loves to take advantage of small advantages, has a very thick skin, and is proud of shamelessness.

After Fang Zheng told Xiao Huaiyuan that he was drinking poisonous wine, Xiao Huaiyuan fully demonstrated his character traits of being greedy for life and afraid of death, although Fang Zheng repeatedly assured him that he was joking just now, Xiao Huaiyuan was still not at ease, he decided to accept the advice of the old man who was enthusiastic about attracting business, and went to the nearby infirmary for a full body examination to make sure that he really didn't drink poison just now.

Fang Zheng despised his inferior nature very much, this guy was usually mysterious and secretive, and he looked unfathomable, he didn't want to be afraid of dying to this extent, just this little bit of courage and being a spy, the employer behind him, whether it was Pan Shangshu or the prince, was blind.

"Go, go for a full body check-up, you have to check it carefully......" Fang Zheng pouted with a smile.

The old man, who claimed to be a doctor in the medical hall, smiled happily, "Yes, yes, this son, please rest assured, the price of this medical hall is fair, the child is not bullied, there is a disease to cure the disease, and the medicine is killed...... Cough, sick away. ”

Xiao Huaiyuan thought about it hesitantly, decided not to go, and sent away the old man with a disappointed face, Xiao Huaiyuan sat next to Fang Zheng.

"Why don't you go to the infirmary? Aren't you afraid that I'm really poisoning the wine? Fang Zheng said with a smile.

"No, you're smiling too much, I suspect there's a conspiracy here......" Xiao Huaiyuan habitually picked up the wine jug on the table, intending to pour himself wine, and then as if he remembered something, his face changed, and he quickly put the wine jug on the other side of the table, far away from it.

This kid is estimated to have a phobia of wine jugs, and Fang Zheng secretly thinks with bad intentions.

"Actually, I just saved your life again...... Fang Zheng made a straight face and solemnly announced that Xiao Huaiyuan owed him a life.

"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

"The medical hall you just planned to go to, it also has a nickname......" Fang Zheng opened his eyes and said nonsense.

Xiao Huaiyuan said with a solemn face: "What nickname?" ”

"Xiao Xitian."

“…………”

The two sat on the wine and chatted and fart, but Fang Zheng's eyes kept staring at the gate of Pan's Mansion, and he was a little anxious, would it be dangerous for Changping's girl to run into Pan's Mansion? Although Pan Shangshu is chatting with the emperor in the imperial study in the palace at this time, what if he comes back? If he saw that Her Royal Highness the princess was smashing and robbing his house, even if he didn't dare to do anything to the princess, it would definitely be inevitable to run to the emperor and cry and complain, wouldn't Changping be unlucky?

And Wen Sen, I don't know if he and his shadow subordinates have successfully infiltrated the Pan Mansion, if they can't get valuable information, then they will be busy in vain, in case they are caught by the people of the Pan Mansion, Pan Shangshu will definitely take advantage of the topic, and then he will be passive.

Fang Zheng was anxious, but he didn't dare to show it on the surface.

"Brother Xiao appeared here so coincidentally, could he be like me, specially to come to see the excitement?" Fang Zhengpi said with a smile.

Xiao Huaiyuan smirked: "It's easy to say, I'm ordered to send an invitation to Brother Fang......"

"On whose orders?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, of course. Brother Fang forgot? I was on an errand in the Prince's Mansion. ”

"What did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ask me for?" Fang Zheng's heart sank.

Xiao Huaiyuan came up and laughed softly: "On the ninth day of the first month of this month, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invited officials and celebrities from all parties to go to Yihong Garden......"

Fang Zheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately showed a lewd smile, rubbing his hands excitedly and said, "...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invited us to visit the kiln? ”

Otherwise, how can the prince be the future head of the country, look at the big money of others......

Xiao Huaiyuan's head was full of black lines: "...... Yihong Garden is a garden in the suburbs, not a kiln! ”

"Huh? …… Uh, drink and drink, quack......" Fang Zheng awkwardly picked up his wine glass and drank it all. Depend on! The garden is the garden, which shameless lewd stick gives a name to Yihongyuan? Can you blame me for being crooked?

"On the ninth day of the first month of this month, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sincerely invites Lord Fang Zhengfang, a regular attendant of the Right Scattered Cavalry and a loyal and brave uncle, to enjoy flowers and discuss poetry with officials, celebrities, and talents in Yihong Garden outside the city, and celebrate the prosperity of the world, and I hope that Lord Fang will take the time to come at that time." Xiao Huaiyuan brought the prince's words word for word with a straight face.

"Not available." Fang Zheng glanced at him, and faintly burst out two words. What is this kid dragging? Why don't you just run an errand and bring a few words? With a straight face, like a spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stinky and virtuous!

Xiao Huaiyuan's serious expression immediately collapsed, and he said, "Ah? Not...... Not available? ”

Fang Zheng nodded seriously and said, "I'm not available." I have a lot of things to do, and I still leave such elegant things as appreciating flowers and discussing poetry to the group of literati and scholars to play. ”

Xiao Huaiyuan said angrily: "But ...... But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has instructed me to invite you here! Otherwise, it won't spare me......"

Fang Zheng rolled his eyes: "What's the matter with me?" ”

"You...... You ......" Xiao Huaiyuan was so anxious that he couldn't say a word for a long time, and finally simply changed to a pleading expression and said: "Brother Fang, you should save the little brother, go once, please!" If I don't invite you, I will be punished when I return to the prince's mansion...... The grand event held by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how many officials and celebrities sharpened their heads and couldn't drill into it, how could you not join in the fun? It's not like your personality. ”

Saying that, Xiao Huaiyuan took out an invitation card and handed it to Fang Zheng: "Look at this invitation, gilded printing, calm atmosphere, just look at the invitation card to know how high-grade this event is, it is tailor-made for a young and promising successful person like Brother Fang, who has a successful career......"

Fang Zheng stared at it, and saw that the invitations were indeed made magnificently and luxurious, full of elegance, and faintly with a faint fragrance, which was not inferior to those corporate or wedding invitations in his previous life.

"Hey, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money just to make this invitation?" Fang Zheng sighed, the prince really had money to burn.

Xiao Huaiyuan said with a smile: "That is, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will hold such a gathering every autumn, and it has become a grand event in the literary world, and the officials, celebrities and talents of the entire Hua Dynasty feel a great honor to be invited by the Prince." Those rich businessmen who have money and no talents, even if they scatter their wealth, will not get a single invitation like this......"

Xiao Huaiyuan's implication is that the prince already looks up to you very much for giving you an invitation, so don't be hypocritical and make me embarrassed.

"You can't get it even if you scatter your wealth?" Fang Zheng's eyes lit up, business opportunities, unlimited business opportunities! Didn't the rich boss want to get in? Spend 10,000 taels of silver to buy an invitation, presumably they will rush to it?

Grabbing Xiao Huaiyuan's collar, Fang Zheng's eyes flashed with golden light: "Say, how many invitations do you still have in your hand?" ”

Xiao Huaiyuan was frightened by Fang Zheng's hideous face, and stammered, "It's still ...... There are dozens of ......"

"Give me all the invitations!" Fang Zheng said viciously.

"No! The prince will kill me! ”

“…… Oh, you just said that I was going to go, there are dozens of people in my family who want to see the world, the prince's brother won't be so stingy......" Fang Zheng couldn't help but put his hand into Xiao Huaiyuan's arms and searched for the dozens of invitations.

"Ah...... Brother Fang, leave me a few, I want to sell them too......" Xiao Huaiyuan's voice was full of despair.

"Go aside! Guards steal from themselves! No shame! Fang Zheng was very disdainful of his dirty thoughts that tried to make profits.

Looking at the invitations that exuded a faint fragrance, Fang Zheng smiled, as if he saw the dearest silver ticket exuding a soft light in front of him, shining brightly......

…………

…………

Xiao Huaiyuan left dejectedly, and after the young master Fang who crossed the river and demolished the bridge got the invitation, he sent him away like a fly. When Xiao Huaiyuan left, he seemed to have been robbed, drooping his head, and his figure looked gloomy and desolate in the sunset, like a mournful woman......

------------------------

Put the invitation card in his arms and put it away, Fang Zheng touched his chin and dreamed of making a fortune, at this time there was a faint noise at the gate of Pan's mansion, Fang Zheng was happy in his heart, Changping was finally coming out.

hurriedly got down, sneakily rubbed in front of the door of Pan's mansion, but saw Changping's majestic hands on his waist, followed by her two hundred women's army, Pan's family and people followed them from a distance, looking at this group of seemingly petite women's soldiers with a frightened look, as if they had seen ghosts during the day.

The women's army was refreshed, with a refreshing expression after just venting the remaining energy, and followed Changping calmly, exchanging with each other the experience and details of the violence just now, and launched a heated discussion and research on the specific action essentials......

A family member with a blue nose and swollen face was kicked out by the subordinates of Pan's Mansion, nodded and sent off the guest, and almost didn't say a word, "Welcome to come next time." ”

Fang Zheng smiled bitterly, and said that the prime minister's concierge was a seven-grade official, and it seemed that this was not all right, at least it depended on the object. Obviously, the princess halo on Changping's head gave her a big advantage, and the powerful Pan Shangshu had many nurseries in his family, and the masters were like clouds, Fang Zheng didn't believe that just two hundred women's troops could be easily wiped out. Most of them are still afraid of the princess name of Changping, and Pan Shangshu, who is in charge of the house, is not at home, so the subordinates are afraid that they will hit the princess and cause trouble, so they dare not resist a little, so they have to let her drive straight in, and they can't fight back, and they can't fight back, and they can't fight back.

It's just that I don't know what kind of thunder and anger Pan Shangshu will be when he goes home later and sees the bleak scene in Manchu. Changping, the trouble-making girl, is estimated to be not easy, and the emperor will definitely punish him heavily.

Changping, who had a pretty face and a heroic posture, immediately changed his expression when he saw Fang Zheng, and ran towards Fang Zheng with a sweet smile, staggering like a butterfly.

"Why are you here?" Changping smiled like a flower, she didn't seem to feel that she was causing trouble,—— led troops to attack the Shangshu Mansion of the current dynasty, tsk, look at this courage.

Fang Zheng smiled: "My wife is doing bad things, of course my husband has to stand outside to look at her." ”

Changping pouted, "Where did I do something bad?" This matter was caused by a family surnamed Pan, of course I had to come to the door to reason with them. ”

Fang Zheng pointed to the Panfu Nursing Courtyard lying lying and moaning at the door, and said funny: "You call this method 'theory'? ”

Changping glanced around, and felt a little embarrassed: "...... If they don't reason with me, I have no choice but to reason with them, and when they are beaten by me and want to reason with me, I suddenly don't want to reason with them anymore......"

Look, what a wife I've found. How many people in this world can speak of the aggressor's actions in a aggrieved tone?

Fang Zheng praised happily: "...... Go back and see how your father cleans you up. ”

Changping pursed his lips nonchalantly, and then happily invited credit: "We finally found Pan Tao ...... inside."

"And then?" Fang Zheng mentioned in his heart, should Changping be like Princess Jianning did to Wu Yingxiong, and castrate that kid with one knife?

Changping smiled proudly: "We beat that kid up, and then I asked him, your father wants to find you a wife like me, do you dare to ask for it?" ”

It's good that he didn't castrate, Fang Zheng's heart was put down, and he couldn't help laughing: "What did he say?" ”

Changping laughed so hard that he leaned on Fang Zheng's body weakly, and gasped: "That kid was frightened, crying with a handful of snot and tears, disgusting to death, crying and saying: 'I am willing to kill myself'...... Hahahaha, I'm laughing to death! ”

Fang Zheng also laughed, Pan Shangshu asked the emperor to marry, it must have been for some political purpose of his own, but who did his bear son Pan Tao recruit to provoke whom? It's really unjust to be beaten for no reason......

Fang Zheng looked at the sky, his face suddenly changed, and he said hurriedly: "Hurry up, let's hurry up, Pan Shangshu will come back and see us standing at the door of his house, and we must not be angry to death?" ”

Changping was also taken aback, and hurriedly agreed: "Yes, yes, let's go." ”

The group walked away under the respectful eyes of the people of the Pan Mansion family, waved their sleeves, and left only the wounded in one place......

On the way back to the palace.

Fang Zheng said worriedly: "You have to be mentally prepared when you go back, Pan Shangshu will definitely go to the palace overnight to complain, your father will punish you severely, if you don't do it, he will beat your ass, I will enter the palace tomorrow to help you plead, maybe it will be better." ”

Changping wrinkled his nose: "No, my father is reluctant to beat me, at most I will be punished and not allowed to leave the palace, anyway, I was already grounded before I married you, it doesn't matter." ”

This girl came out to make trouble after thinking about the consequences, and my wife is not completely brainless, she has found the emperor's pulse. How can anyone who is really stupid from the people raised in the palace?

After reluctantly saying goodbye, Fang Zheng returned home alone.

He is in a good mood now, after Changping made a big fuss in Pan's house today, it is estimated that Pan Shangshu has given up the idea of courting the emperor, from the beginning Pan Shangshu played a disgraceful role in this farce, although he does not know what purpose he has to come out to stir up the situation, but he may not have expected that he and Changping would cooperate so tacitly, and Changping did not play according to the card, and also gave him a blow.

It's time for this farce to come to an end.

-----------------------

As expected, the next day, news came. Pan Shangshu expressed his willingness to fulfill Fang Zheng and Changping, quit the farce of robbing relatives, and bowed gloomily and stepped down. But after Lao Pan returned home, he learned that his house was swept into a mess by the princess, and he also injured his son and dozens of family guards, Lao Pan jumped like thunder, and immediately entered the palace without touching the ground and complained to the emperor.

The emperor called Changping to the imperial study, scolded her fiercely in front of Pan Shangshu, and ordered her not to step out of the palace gate half a step before getting married. Pan Shangshu endured this breath helplessly, after all, Changping is the princess, does he dare to let the emperor beat her board?

The farce ended, and everyone was barely happy, except for the bear son of the old Pan family who was beaten inexplicably.

A small courtyard in the Fang Mansion.

Fang Zheng had his eyes half-closed, holding a bow and arrow, the bowstring drawn into a full moon, and was aiming at the arrow target twenty paces away from him.

The subordinates of the Fang Mansion stood behind him curiously, staring at the clean arrow target, as well as the densely packed arrows on the ground within a radius of several zhang around the arrow target, and they all expressed their reverence for the young master's unpredictable archery skills.

The last time he shot a rabbit and didn't hit, Fang Zheng lost face in front of his shadow subordinates, and after learning from the pain, Young Master Fang planned to practice archery hard, not to seek a hundred shots, but ...... Baifa No. 1 Middle School Head Office?

But God refused to give face, only twenty steps away, more than a hundred arrows were shot, the arrow target was as clean as if it had just been washed with water, the most embarrassing thing was that there was a group of subordinates next to him who looked at him with strange eyes, and the few patience of Young Master Fang was almost exhausted.

“…… Move the target closer, ten paces away. Fang Zheng commanded with a dark face.

If the ten steps are not successful, Fang Zheng feels that he can abandon martial arts without regrets. It's just a piece of chopping wood, and you can't carve flowers no matter how you carve it.

Shoot the arrow, draw the bow, aim.

"Whoosh!"

Everyone looked sideways,—— the target was still clean. Then a strange cry was heard, as if some animal was struggling before it died.

Fang Zheng's face turned pale with fright, the so-called "open the bow without turning back the arrow", this is not necessarily accurate, at least Young Master Fang's archery skills are a good paradox. Because even he himself didn't know which direction the arrow he shot would go, or which unlucky man he would injure by mistake.

"Who got the arrow? Who was shot? Fang Zheng hurriedly looked around for the victim.

Everyone looked at each other, followed the reputation, and saw a pure and lovely kitten on the ground a few feet away from the arrow target, and fell in a pool of blood, with an arrow inserted in its body impartially......

When did I get a cat in my house? Fang Zheng was amazed. Is this? This young master is obviously aiming at the arrow target, why is this cat unlucky?

The crowd was like a tide of sycophants: "Young Master Divine Arrow." Invincible! ”

Scratching his head inexplicably, Fang Zheng was quickly relieved, maybe it was another cat's cat in the wrong place, after all, cats like to run around.

Looking up at the sky and laughing three times, Fang Zheng calmly accepted the endless sycophants of his subordinates, and was extremely useful.

"Can I be called a 'marksman'?" Fang Zheng's tone was arrogant.

The development of things can be described by the words "peak and loop", and happiness will be sad, and forgetting the form should be unlucky. Fang Zheng suddenly heard a sudden sad cry: "Ah-"

The voice was very familiar, Fang Zheng's smug laughter was forcibly stopped as if someone had choked his neck, he only felt that suddenly black clouds covered the top, lightning and thunder, sand and rocks flying between heaven and earth, the wind was chaotic, and countless ball lightning dumplings were rushing towards his head one by one......

Turning his neck stiffly, he was greeted by a pair of frightened and sad eyes, which were filled with tears, and soon, the tears rushed out of the sockets, down the chubby little face, all the way to the cheeks......

It's confirmed, it's not an illusion, Princess Changle's innocent and innocent little face has appeared in Fang Zheng's nightmares countless times......

Fang Zheng's face turned even paler, the unlucky cat...... Does it have anything to do with her?

Trembling and raising her fleshy little hand, pointing at Fang Zheng, the little princess's eyes were full of anger and accusation: "You shot my cat!" ”

Fang Zheng took a step back in horror, the little princess's tone made him feel very guilty.

Hurriedly stuffing the bow and arrow into the hands of a subordinate who looked like a black cauldron, Fang Zheng clapped his hands, squatted down in front of the little princess casually, and said softly: "...... Your Royal Highness Princess, you are mistaken, the person who shot your cat was not me, it was him. ”

The little princess's anger clearly began to escalate: "Not only did you shoot my cat, but you also framed innocent people!" ”

“…………”

Look, there is really no one stupid in the palace who has raised them.
