Chapter 75: The One-Year Covenant
Fan Xiaoran led the way in front, through the winding stone bridge corridor, along the rockery stone steps meandering up, soon came to the top of the pavilion, the scenery of the entire courtyard is in full view, when the person is really sitting in the scene, the scene is like a painting.
The pavilion is covered by light gauze curtains, hazy can not see through, one side of the plaque on the book Si Duck Pavilion, both sides of the column engraved: Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc. If you ask how long it is lovesick, unless you meet. Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc. If you want to say who the lovesickness looks like, the shallow lover doesn't know.
Yan Yuncheng sighed lightly in his heart at the moment, from these words, it can be seen that this Fan Zijing has a deep affection for Shen Feiyu, and it is no wonder that Fan Degui would rather tell him about one of the gods, just in exchange for Yan Yuncheng being able to mention Fan Ziyi in front of Shen Feiyu.
"Come in!" came a calm voice from the pavilion.
Fan Xiaoran lifted the light gauze curtain in front of her, Yan Yuncheng went in sideways, and saw a woman in palace veil sitting at the table, the woman's eyebrows were delicate, her appearance was beautiful, and her body clearly revealed a heroic spirit, but she exuded a faint melancholy.
Although Yan Yuncheng had never seen Fan Ziji, he had already heard of it, so he immediately stepped forward to salute him. Fan Ziji's expression was unwavering, and he opened his mouth lightly to let Yan Yuncheng sit down, Yan Yuncheng did not give in, and sat down at the other end of the table.
"Xiaoran, you go out first, I have something to say to him alone. ”
Fan Xiaoran was about to sit down next to Fan Ziji, but she didn't want Fan Ziji to let her out, so she pouted and walked out reluctantly.
"Has he ever had any news coming back?" Fan Zizhen asked directly, with a hint of tremor in his tone.
Of course he Yan Yuncheng knew who he was talking about, who else could make Fan Ziji so concerned besides Shen Feiyu, Yan Yuncheng himself hadn't seen Shen Feiyu for nearly a year, and his expression was a little gloomy at the moment, he paused and then said, "I haven't heard from him for nearly a year." ”
Yan Yuncheng couldn't help but wonder in his heart, with the power of the Fan family, it was easy to send someone to Yuhai City to understand the situation, how could Fan Ziyi, as the second lady of the Fan family, still ask him? Although he was puzzled in his heart, he didn't show it on his face.
The disappointment in Fan Zijin's eyes flashed away, and then a resentment and a faint sadness appeared on his body, saying that men chase women across mountains, and women chase men across the veil, but for Fan Zijin, this is not the case, but now it is becoming more and more impossible.
For Fan Ziji's appearance, Yan Yuncheng didn't know how to comfort her, so he had to sit quietly on the side and didn't bother her.
"I heard Uncle Gui say that you went looking for something about God?" After a while, Fan Ziyi broke free from that sadness and regained his previous calm.
Hearing Fan Zijin say this, he knew that Uncle Gui had told Fan Ziji everything, and he didn't hide it at the moment, and said what he was doing in the crypt concisely, but he was silent about the confrontation between the golden dragon and the purple gourd.
After Yan Yuncheng finished speaking, Fan Ziyi didn't rush to speak, and pondered in his heart for a long time before he spoke: "According to what you said, that golden dragon should be in order to use the four elements of earth, water, wind, and fire in the embryonic world, in an attempt to break through its own shackles and achieve the supreme god position, and the road to becoming a god has always been illusory, this may be a road to becoming a god." ”
Fan Zijin made the above guess according to Yan Yuncheng's narrative, Yan Yuncheng was noncommittal about Fan Ziji's inference, he couldn't judge whether what Fan Zizhen said was right or wrong, after all, he was only refining the virtual realm now, and he was still extremely distant and ethereal from the legendary god, maybe as Fan Zijin said, or there was another reason, everything involving God was possible.
"Okay, Uncle Gui, they are very happy to hear that you are back, and they all want to meet you, you can go. Fan Zizhen was in a bad mood, and he didn't get the news he wanted, so he didn't have the heart to say anything more to Yan Yuncheng, and Yan Yuncheng immediately got up and said goodbye.
"If it's possible, you help me tell him, I can only wait for him for another year!"
Just when Yan Yuncheng was about to step out of the pavilion, Fan Zizhen said quietly, from which Yan Yuncheng heard a deep helplessness, a strong sense of loss and a determination to compromise.
Yan Yuncheng was in his heart at the moment, with Fan Ziji's love for Shen Feiyu, Yan Yuncheng believed that even if the sky fell and the sea withered and the rocks rotted, she would die unswervingly, but now that she said such words, Yan Yuncheng felt that something force majeure must have happened to her.
Yan Yuncheng walked out of the pavilion with a heavy heart, he didn't even notice Fan Xiaoran on the side, he came back to his senses after Fan Xiaoran shouted three times in a row, and then asked Fan Xiaoran suspiciously: "Has something happened to your little aunt recently?"
"No, no, nothing. Fan Xiaoran's expression was a little evasive, and her tone revealed a trace of nervousness and melancholy, obviously she knew, but she was afraid of what it was inconvenient to say.
Seeing Fan Xiaoran say this, Yan Yuncheng couldn't continue to ask, so he immediately asked Fan Xiaoran to take him to Uncle Gui, Uncle Gui should know some things, just enough to ask him.
Fan Xiaoran saw that Yan Yuncheng didn't continue to ask, and the stone in her heart fell to the ground, but she was full of sympathy for Fan Zijin's experience, and then thought that she might also take Fan Zijin's path, and her originally happy mood became dull.
"Uncle Gui, I'm so glad to see you again. ”
Yan Yuncheng saw Fan Degui in a mansion of the Fan family, Fan Degui was also quite happy, Fan Xiaoran became depressed because of his mood, so he excused himself to leave, Fan Degui pulled Yan Yuncheng into the house, obviously knowing that Yan Yuncheng was coming, the dishes had been prepared on the table, and the wine was boiling in the red clay stove.
The two humbly sat down face to face, Fan Degui poured a glass of wine for Yan Yuncheng, looked at Yan Yuncheng with a smile, and motioned for him to taste it.
Yan Yuncheng immediately picked up the wine glass, drank it in one gulp, tasted it, and said with a smile: "Lang Xian is drunk!"
"Haha!" They both looked at each other and laughed, then began to drink slowly.
The two of them drank this meal for a long time, Fan Degui said a lot, Yan Yuncheng did not interrupt him, he was a good listener, and from Fan Degui's words, he also learned what happened to Fan Ziyi.
As the richest man in Yan Country, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Fan family is rich and rivals the country, in the eyes of outsiders, it is extremely rich and powerful, but outsiders don't know that this big family has its own troubles.
The scenery on the surface does not represent the real situation, the more the wealthy are more frightened, every day is like walking on thin ice, under the world, it is not the king's land; the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister, the Son of Heaven is angry and bleeding is thousands of miles, in fact, you can be powerful and powerful, rich and unlimited, but in the eyes of the royal family, it is just a thought.
All wealthy families without exception have to manage their own forces, and if they want to be evergreen and stand tall, then they must always be blessed with the emperor's grace, and if they want to bathe in the emperor's grace all the time, political marriage has become the most commonly used means.
The Fan family is now in this embarrassing situation, although their Fan family is extremely wealthy, and Fan Zhenxuan is the concubine of Emperor Yan, but in the past year, Emperor Yan's health has deteriorated, I am afraid that he will die soon, once Emperor Yan dies, then the status of Emperor Fan Ruoxuan will be lost, and their Fan family will lose their dependence.
In this case, the Fan family urgently needs to find a new political backer, so that Yang Danfeng, the most powerful contender of the next Yan Emperor, has entered the sight of the Fan family, and the Fan family members actively want to have a good relationship with the eldest prince, and it is not only his family surnamed Fan who can recognize the situation, there are already many big forces that have begun to contact Yang Danfeng frequently, and his Fan family's reaction has been slow.
This eldest prince Yang Danfeng, as the former top ten young masters of Yan Kingdom, has a very high reputation in Yan Kingdom, and Fan Ziyi, who was also selected as one of the top ten young masters, happened to be a perfect match with Yang Danfeng, so he naturally entered the eyes of the family elders, and everyone saw the hope of the Fan family to continue to be brilliant from her.
In order to promote this marriage, the people of the Fan family can be said to have reached the point of madness, Fan Zijian's sister has already married Emperor Yan, and then let Fan Zizhen marry Emperor Yan's son, which is morally unreasonable, but they can't control it so much, and they keep putting pressure on Fan Zijin.
Fan Zizhen has actually been placed under house arrest now, and it is difficult to have a chance to contact the outside world, which is why she can't listen to Shen Feiyu's news by herself, and needs to ask Yan Yuncheng about Shen Feiyu's news.
Fan Zizhen was not a person who gave in so easily, but someone in the family threatened his father Fan Gongming and eldest brother Fan Changfeng, and she had to give in the end, but it was an agreement for a one-year period, and the Fan family was also worried that the persecution would be too tight Fan Zijin would go to the extreme, so it would be self-defeating, so they agreed to her request.
When Fan Degui said this, he was already in tears, sighing and sighing, but others were soft-spoken, and they couldn't change anything at all.
He watched Fan Zijin grow up since he was a child, although he was a slave of the Fan family, Fan Zijin respected him very much, and he had long regarded Fan Zijin as his daughter.
Yan Yuncheng didn't say anything for a long time after listening to it, he was born in a wealthy family and looked like he had fine clothes and food, and the scenery was infinite, but sometimes he was not happy and comfortable in the life of a poor family, although the poor family lived in poverty, but they were often free and would not become a victim of family interests.
The children of wealthy families are actually destined to take the interests of the family as the first priority, and many things are not at all something that they can call the shots, everything is just an exchange and compromise of interests.
It wasn't until the night moon set in the west that Yan Yuncheng left Fan's house, during which Fan Xiaoran came once, and when he saw Yan Yuncheng and Fan Degui having a long talk, he didn't disturb them.
