Natural residence on the second floor. After the shopkeeper Ah Jiu personally served the dim sum and wine, Fang Xing and the other four played mahjong, and they didn't understand the nursery rhyme, and half lay on the chaise longue with pastries, tilting their heads to look at the performance on the square platform on the first floor.

"This king doesn't understand, why did you decline the position of county lord?"

Bai Yuqi asked softly with the card in his hand, this is not a secret, many people in the palace already know it, and they did not forget to sigh that Fang Xing was a fool, such a big reward actually declined, but Bai Yuxiu, obviously did not know, looked at Fang Xing suddenly, his expression was really exaggerated.

"Really? Great, then you are really my sister, otherwise, when my father comes back for the Spring Festival, I beg him to pass you to the palace, haha, it's good. ”

"It's not that .. Do county lords often marry to foreign countries and relatives? ”

"Yes, yes.. No, no, the county lord is not good. ”

A shallow smile bloomed on Lin Qinghuan's lips, pushing down the mahjong in front of him, and he won this game. But is it the emperor's intention at all, or does Fang Xing know how to understand the times? That's not easy to say, Bai Yuxiu finally understood, and reluctantly handed Lin Qinghuan a bamboo stick.

Feng Shui takes turns, somehow, Fang Xing can always maintain neither losing nor winning, and Bai Yuqi and Lin Qinghuan simply take turns to win cards, pity Bai Yuxiu, and even the nursery rhyme can't help but grin and laugh at him.

Knock knock..

"His Royal Highness King Qi, the hour is not early, Ah Jiu has prepared some meals, will this be used or..."

Ah Jiu asked softly outside the door, Bai Yuqi looked at Fang Xing, Fang Xing looked at the nursery rhyme, only to see the nursery rhyme nodding incessantly, Bai Yuqi finally obeyed Fang Xing, it turned out that the person she cared about the most, in addition to Aunt Lan, there was also a nursery rhyme.

"Okay, let's bring it in."

"Eat? I just won a handful... No matter what, continue to eat after eating! ”

Bai Yuxiu reluctantly left the table, to say that this mahjong is also a novelty, when he was brought into Yan'an City by Ah Jiuchu, he was excluded a lot because it was too popular, and he was also accused of going to Jingzhao Mansion, saying that it was no different from gambling, but he unexpectedly got the joint guarantee of many official children, and then there was the prince's mountain, which actually oppressed the gambling business in Beijing without a way.

Fang Xing was about to sit on the futon in front of the long table, and felt that the jade pendant hanging on his waist was really a little in the way, so he simply took it off and put it in his arms. sat down comfortably, took the teacup handed by the nursery rhyme, and faced Lin Qinghuan with a sincere smile on his face, Fang Xing looked a little embarrassed for a while, why does this person always smile like this... Strange oozing.

Bai Yuxiu raised his eyes and looked at Bai Yuqi for a moment, then stared at Lin Qinghuan for a while, then lowered his head and ate honestly, don't say he was stupid, he could see the thoughts of these two men. If Bai Yuqi and Lin Qinghuan are two absolutely different men... Bai Yuqi is a little more arrogant, and he is also a little arrogant, and he is the only ruffian prince in the royal family. Lin Qinghuan is a rare elegant and light, standing like a Zhilan jade tree, smiling like a bright moon in his arms.. Although Bai Yuxiu does not support his brother Qi Wang, he is not optimistic about Lin Qinghuan...

"By the way, which talent is this year's champion, I heard that the results of the imperial examination have been released, although the emperor list has not been revealed, presumably His Royal Highness King Qi is well-informed.."

"Wang Jiexin."

"Who?"

Fang Xing suddenly remembered the man who only had one side, from looking at the books and manuscripts he brought that day, he knew that he had some talent, it turned out that he did not win the championship, and he still had a lot of people in this world.

"It won't be..."

"The son of the king?"

Bai Yuxiu patted his heart in fright, it was actually ... Fang Xing only then reacted, the son of Wang Shilang, isn't that it..

"That's him."

Bai Yuqi affirmed, Fang Xing's good mood was gone, it was the man who was open-mouthed to Yan Yun, Wang Jiexin, Aunt Wang's nephew, Ye Ruyan's cousin, no wonder the prince and Bai Yuqi went to Shangshu Mansion for a banquet that day, it turned out to be such a happy event! But how much ink can that kind of person have in his stomach... Fang Xing really couldn't accept it.

"I heard that the palace examination was a question asked by the emperor and the Ministry of Rites, you say, will it be this Ministry of Rites..."

When Fang Xing heard about the scientific examination system here earlier, he felt that there were a lot of omissions, and it was not strict at all, maybe someone really made trouble from it, but after such a guess, it attracted the surprised eyes of the three people opposite.

"The Book of Rites. Isn't it Ye Shangshu? ”

Bai Yuxiu even began to wonder if he was mistaken, Fang Xing laughed embarrassedly twice. It turned out to be her good father, but she only learned that he was appointed to the Ministry of Rites.

"Fang Xing, tell me about it, Ye Shangshu's forty-year-old life... What day is it? ”

Bai Yuxiu suspected that Fang Xing not only didn't know Ye Shangshu's title, but he didn't even care about such a thing as his birthday, Fang Xing looked sideways at the nursery rhyme, the nursery rhyme shrugged with chopsticks, she didn't care even more, it turned out that Ye Shangshu was forty? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with her.

"Oh my God, it's the day after tomorrow, you don't even know this? You are careful that Ye Ruyan robbed the rules.."

Bai Yuxiu gestured to Fang Xing with great sadness, only to see Fang Xing eat a mouthful of food with a confused face, could it be that she didn't know what the so-called rules were.

"There is a custom in the ancient Cangguo that the whole life of the head of each family will be given a cup of longevity tea by the person with the second highest status in the family, and forty is the first birthday, which is of great significance."

Lin Qinghuan smiled and explained. Fang Xing and the nursery rhyme nodded in unison, thinking the same in their hearts, to give Ye Shangshu tea? Is there anyone still fighting about this kind of thing?

"Yes, this year is different, although you are back, but the Wang family has one more champion, and the prince has been running quite diligently these days... I don't know.."

Bai Yuqi saw that Fang Xing didn't care at all, he also had selfishness in his heart, and still hoped that Fang Xing could fight. Fang Xing was so smart, he immediately understood what Bai Yuqi meant, her life was approaching, but she didn't hear anyone mention it in the mansion at all, it seemed that Ye Shangshu did it on purpose, the prince already liked Ye Ruyan, and this time there was another champion relative, the attitude of the two was put together, it seemed that they were ready to add some weight to Ye Ruyan's body, maybe not only would Ye Ruyan serve tea, but even Aunt Wang might be promoted to be a wife.

"They... Thinking too much. ”

Fang Xing gave Bai Yuqi a dose of reassurance, not to mention whether that Wang Zhuangyuan had water release ingredients, Ye Ruyan toasted tea and she Fang Xing didn't care at all, but if she dared to mention Aunt Wang's position, not to mention that she didn't agree, Su Hou Ye would not let Ye Shangshu go easily, they had the courage to do so, and they wouldn't be able to stop it then.

"Then you need to back up a thick birthday gift."

"The prince is right, the left and right saints always ask me, have you thought about what reward you want, why don't you ask for a marriage contract for the two of you the day after tomorrow?"

"Fang wake up!"

Bai Yuxiu shouted so loudly that his throat was hoarse, he was simply refusing this proposal with his life, if it weren't for the nursery rhyme to stuff a piece of dim sum into his mouth, the entire natural dwelling people would have to know it, and Fang Xing was here.

Bai Yuqi laughed, Fang Xing's idea was poisonous enough, mentioning Bai Yuxiu was a joke, but helping Ye Ruyan propose marriage was serious.

"Master, it's getting dark."

Full of wine and food, the nursery rhyme looked at the time It was really late, but Bai Yuxiu resisted the door, staring straight at the card table, it seems that if he doesn't win back the ones he lost before, he won't give up today.

"Why don't you have a good time? This king sent someone to Shangshu Mansion to say something. ”

Fang Xing looked back at the nursery rhyme, hoping that she would pretend to be sleepy so that the two of them could go back, but the nursery rhyme sat down directly and continued to eat. There was no way, Bai Yuqi arranged the guards, and the four of them sat back at the table.

Until late at night, the performance downstairs had already ended, and there was only a quiet piano sound in the building, which was more like a lullaby, and Bai Yuxiu was sleepy while playing.

Syllable!

A shrill sound shocked the spirits of several people, Bai Yuqi and Lin Qinghuan hurriedly ran out of the door to check, and suddenly a bad thought appeared in their minds, Fang Xing hurriedly followed.

Standing in front of the exterior window on the second floor, you can see a trace of fireworks in the distance, just like the signal flare set off by the gang when Fang woke up to rescue Mrs. Lin that day, except for the different colors, and the direction is.

"It's a warning signal from the Su family, and the direction is... Shangshu Mansion? ”

Lin Qinghuan looked at Fang Xing worriedly, and Fang Xing's heart immediately swelled with a strange premonition. His fingertips instantly became cold, and he suddenly forgot what to do, and subconsciously took a step, almost tripping over himself.

"Don't worry, my light skills are good.."

Lin Qinghuan picked up Fang Xing indiscriminately, and flew out of the window with light skills, Bai Yuqi stomped his feet angrily, and hurriedly followed, Bai Yuxiu followed closely with nursery rhymes, but he didn't pay attention to them in the past, these people's martial arts are really good, especially Lin Qinghuan, light skills are not under nursery rhymes.

Walking to the vicinity of Shangshu Mansion, the sound of fighting could already be heard, Lin Qinghuan put Fang Xing down, and hurriedly joined the battle in the courtyard, originally a group of black-clothed people were very difficult to Su Zhan alone, and several brothers were killed and injured, which would watch them arrive one after another, including Bai Yuqi...

"Retreat."

The leader gave an order, and all the people in black left quickly without a fight, and these people didn't have the heart to chase after them, so they turned their heads to look at Fang Xing.

"Oh my God."

The nursery rhyme covered her mouth in disbelief, and looked at everything in the courtyard with red circles, in addition to the dead man in black on the ground, and the inconspicuous girl in the past... Shuang'er, lying in a pool of blood, has lost his life, and there is a dagger in his hand. It seems that Fang Cai's warning signal came from her, she should have been sent by the Su family to protect Fang Xing, no wonder the fire would help her, no wonder Hou Ye knew what Fang Xing's favorite food was.

It's just that the nursery rhyme is not in the mood to regret this girl's life, because on the other side, there is still a person lying down, Aunt Lan.

Fang Xing suppressed his hatred, squatted down and put his body on Aunt Lan's wrist, but his hands couldn't stop shaking.

"Nursery rhyme, quick.. Go for medicine, find.. Look for.. Saffron, dendrobium, and.."

Fang Xing didn't know what to look for, Su Zhan came over and pressed Aunt Lan's shoulder, tried to give her luck, and then stood up helplessly, and Tong Yao covered his other hand in front of his mouth, for fear of crying.
