187 In vain

Yu Yuanfan's mansion is not like other officials' homes everywhere full of wealth, there are two locust trees planted in the front yard, lush and green, this season is just when the locust flowers are in full bloom, the courtyard is full of faint fragrance, not as rich as Jin Gui, it smells very comfortable.

The main hall is elegant and clean, showing the smell of books everywhere, in addition to the lintel marked on the main entrance, which can show the identity of Yuanfan's official eunuch, here is really like a model of the champion's house for future generations to visit.

Bang!

"I don't know where Xiao Nan's progress has been recently..."

Xiao Nan raised his head violently while drinking tea, and almost squirted out rudely... Looking at the stack of books that Yu Yuanfan brought and put on the table, there must be twenty or thirty books in a rough count... His expression was already frozen on his face, and he looked at Fang Xing before he could easily swallow the tea in his mouth.

"What is the habit of drinking this tea?"

"It's good."

Fang Xing took two sips and put down the teacup, Yu Yuanfan's heart finally stabilized when he heard the words, Baihao Silver Needle, a kind of white tea, the taste is extremely light, he has already prepared this tea in the house, and today he finally waited for the main master, thinking of this, Yu Yuanfan's eyes floated with a touch of joy that was not easy to detect.

"That Xiao Nan... Let's start with.."

"You talk, I'll look at this first."

Xiao Nan shook the books he brought, and he woke up in front of the door of the mansion and said that he had brought him to ask for teaching, which Yu Yuanfan really believed. Xiao Nan walked to the side and sat down funny, leaving Yu Yuanfan confused.

"I'll tell you something."

"Huh? Well..."

Yu Yuanfan no longer fiddled with his stack of books, and finally understood that Fang Xing's drunkard did not mean to drink, and walked to Fang Xing's side and sat down by himself, supporting his knees with his hands and slightly restrained, as if he was the guest here.

"You.. It can be known that Chu Ruoshui, the daughter of the university scholar's family, is going to marry His Royal Highness King Qi in the near future. ”

"Really? She didn't mention it... Then the lower official should prepare some congratulatory gifts! ”

Yu Yuanfan was stunned for a moment, and then he thought about it seriously, Xiao Nan's shoulders on the side kept shaking, trying to restrain his smile, and finally he couldn't help but go out with his acquaintance, while Fang Xing was almost stunned.

"But Miss Chu didn't want to, so she asked me for help, and she is now living in Su Mansion."

"Oh . . . This? ”

Fang Xing took the tea lid and scraped it gently, staring at the tea with a confused gaze, the tea surface was shaking with ripples that wanted to speak and stopped, but this would be Yu Yuanfan didn't understand, Fang Xing was really difficult to speak, she was really too villainous to do this.

"Miss Chu's favorite person is you."

"What... Yes? ”

Yu Yuanfan looked at Fang Xing in a daze, his mouth forgot to close, revealing an extremely inexplicable expression, he didn't say a word for a long time, and as Fang Xing blinked his eyes, he remembered to close his lips, and finally understood the purpose of Fang Xing's trip.

"Xiaguan and Miss Chu have no parents, and there is no matchmaker's words, although Xiaguan is a scholar, he is not pedantic, although he is impressed by Miss Chu's courage to speak out, I am afraid that I will disappoint her."

"You don't like her?"

Xiao Nan Ruo was here, I was afraid that I was going to laugh at Fang Xing's idiot question, but Fang Xing always felt that Yu Yuanfan's treatment of Chu Ruoshui was different, from what Chu Ruoshui said, the look of the two of them talking about poetry, especially when Yu Yuanfan started to talk about Chu Ruoshui, Fang Xing thought that he didn't need to bother to speak..

"I don't like it, I like it."

"Do you know how many women in this world want to marry into the Qi Palace, even if they don't have the position of concubine... Do you know that Miss Chu is everyone's best girl, what kind of courage made her dare to disobey her parents and ask me for help."

Yu Yuanfan looked coldly at the tea soup on the table, which had no trace of heat, and fell into silence, what Fang Xing said was too sudden for him, there are not many women recognized by Yu Yuanfan, except for Fang Xing, Chu Ruoshui is indeed regarded as a talented person..

"If Miss Yin Chu admires me, I will accept it, but what about you? If it were placed on you, would you accept it? ”

"I.."

Yu Yuanfan's throat seemed to be stuffed into a mess, his speech was extremely unnatural, and he was not guided by Fang Xing's words, but was more clear, no longer talking one by one, he was a little angry about Fang Xing's first visit...

"You are not immune to the difficulties of strong people, yes, the position of princess is coveted by many women, she does not tend to be inflammatory, which I admire, but I really..."

"Okay, then I'll ask you seriously, and you will answer me seriously, what kind of woman do you like?"

Fang Xing is indeed a little selfish and abrupt in this matter, she doesn't want Bai Yuqi to marry the university scholar's mansion, it's not that she is worried about Bai Yuqi's power expansion, she doesn't care about a university scholar, she just appreciates a woman who pursues feelings at this juncture, but it may hurt Yu Yuanfan.

"I like this with Your Highness."

"Alas. You see, Miss Chu said the same thing, with all due respect, your liking for me, in addition to thanking me for my help to you, is left with my extraordinary experience, are you really sure you like me? I don't know how to play chess, I don't know how to play the piano, I don't care about dancing and writing, I only have the division of interests in my eyes, I haven't seen a word on female morality, let alone comply, I will never be a beautiful woman with red sleeves and fragrance, I will only be an unscrupulous person for the sake of the end, are you sure, like? ”

Yu Yuanfan smiled bitterly, his face couldn't help but change slightly, and then he was silent again, the first time he had the courage to express his heart, he was so decisively denied by Fang Xing, he thought about Fang Xing's words in his heart, the type of woman he admired at first was indeed not Fang Xing's appearance, and he always had a little respect for Fang Xing in his heart, and he still didn't dare to say the words like you.

"Your Highness doesn't have to belittle yourself for Miss Chu, Your Highness is a very capable woman in the hearts of the lower officials, and she also has a set of persuasions.."

"I'm not here to force you, I just want you to think carefully and then recognize yourself."

Fang Xing's eyebrows and eyes were calm, and she couldn't see the slightest emotion on her face, but was she really sure about this trip? Recently, she is used to wearing women's dresses, but when she came to Yu Yuanfan today, why she is still wearing the men's clothes that she got up in the morning, it is nothing more than a little weak-hearted...

"Yes, Your Highness is right, the lower officials are more grateful and respectful to His Royal Highness, but this does not mean that Miss Chu likes the lower officials, and she wants to avoid the marriage contract with His Royal Highness King Qi, and the lower officials will be submissive.."

"I understand, it's just that the crown prince and King Qi have used a lot of methods in order to win you over, among which there are many talented women with soft fingers, you are not tempted, but you will talk and sing with Miss Chu, you really don't have any feelings for her?"

The corners of Yu Yuanfan's mouth fell, his face became a little ugly, the temperature in his eyes dissipated in an instant, and his whole body only felt cold. Maybe if this matter is lobbied by anyone, he will seriously consider it, only this person is Fang Xing, Yu Yuanfan will only think that her words are guiding him into the pit she dug.

"Even if there is, it won't be before the marriage contract between Miss Chu and King Qi."

"Lord Yu, you are really smart, I now understand how Miss Chu, a daughter of a big family, dares to resist the authority of the royal family."

Yu Yuanfan smiled faintly, it was not the meaning of Fang Xing, but his lips were stiff and did not make any sound, he still thought that Fang Xing began to brainwash him with a change of strategy, and suddenly the other party Xing and himself had a trace of disappointment, perhaps, he was too frivolous, the other party didn't wake up to understand, so he dared to say that he liked it, and the other party's disappointment was that she might have more practices that he couldn't see at all.

"Well, think about it, if you are willing to rescue Miss Chu and send me a letter, naturally even if you don't want to, it won't affect us anything, tomorrow morning I will send someone to send Miss Chu back to the house, and then prepare a dowry for her.."

“...”

Fang Xing's words lingered in Yuanfan's heart, as Fang Xing got up and left, Yu Yuanfan quickly adjusted his mood, in addition to horror and confusion in his heart, not to mention that it was only this afternoon, even if he got married to Chu Ruoshui, he might not be able to figure it out.

"Don't send it, don't think about Miss Chu just because I'm here, it's my idea today."

"Yes.."

Yu Yuanfan did not forget to bow his hand, Fang Xing's heart was full of regrets, but he was helpless, flipped through the stack of books and then paced away, leaving Yu Yuanfan standing alone, unable to recover for a long time.

"It's not feasible. I'll just say that he is a preconceived and stubborn person. ”

"You're so good..."

Xiao Nan sat on the flower bed and closed the book and tilted his head, looking like he had already known the ending of the day, Fang Xing's eyes were burning behind him, and he suddenly thought of Yu Yuanfan's words, asking him to think about it, maybe he should really use Chu Ruoshui and Bai Yuqi's marriage to stir it up.

"We... You are.. Lack of firewood at home? ”

"Although Lord Yu is stubborn, he still has talent, you take these books back and read them slowly."

Fang Xing stared at Xiao Nan, who had lost his mind when he turned his head, moved the stack of books he was holding in his hand, and then chuckled and took the first step, Xiao Nan shook his head, the blood on his face suddenly faded cleanly, and he said that Fang Xing, the wicked man, would not let him go!

"Fang Xing, what kind of grudge do we have!"

"It seems that these books are not enough to teach you, and you have to teach you etiquette yourself."

Xiao Nan stared at the stack of books in Fang Xing's hand, his teeth clenched hard, as if he wanted to rub out the sparks, and burned these books with Yu Yuanfan, he also read books every day, only what he read was related to business, like these that Yu Yuanfan was looking for, he didn't have to think about it to know that it was the type he hated the most!

"What are you looking at?"

"It's a nice day."

Xiao Nan sat in a rickshaw and went to school Fang Xing looked at the eaves not far away, he didn't expect Fang Xing to be in such a mood when he beat Yu Yuanfan in vain, but Fang Xing was comfortable, after competing with Xuan Chen, his brothers finally stopped following her, otherwise it would be difficult for her to even talk to Yu Yuanfan.
