The people who followed Fujikokyo to Shanzhou are purchasing special flower tea in the streets and alleys. The Earl of Kyoto is very nostalgic for the tea taste of his hometown, and in previous years, the old lady of Beppu called someone to buy it and send it to Kyoto, but this time the Earl's Court sent someone to buy it back.

A total of three carriages and seven people came from the Earl's Palace, and the leader was Fujikokyo.

He didn't wander the streets with those inferior servants, he was still wiping his sweat, and the weather in Lanzhou was indeed hotter than in Kyoto. Originally, as soon as he arrived in Shanzhou, he should go to Earl Beppu to ask the old lady to be safe, but when he thought of this mission, he felt a little weak, so he asked the people below to buy flower tea, and he could sit in the tavern to stabilize his mood.

The second housekeeper who was sent to Lanzhou a few years ago is now nowhere to be heard, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead. The people in the Earl's Mansion know that there is an irreconcilable contradiction between the first room in Beijing and the first room in Lanzhou, although there is only Fan Xian alone on the side of Lanzhou, but the facts make everyone secretly speculate whether something happened to the second housekeeper.

If it is really as everyone thinks, then the people of the Fan Mansion must re-examine the illegitimate child, after all, the year when the second housekeeper had an accident, Young Master Fan Xian was only twelve years old, if he wanted to make the second housekeeper disappear silently, it could only be the order of the old lady - this proves that the old lady is on Fan Xian's side, and the second wife's life is estimated to not be easy.

Fuji Zijing noticed that the date of the newspaper on the wall was the one from a month ago, and he had read it in Si Nanbo's study. There was nothing new in the newspapers, the big men in Kyoto lived peacefully, there was no update on the war between the eldest prince and Xihu, and the incident of the illegitimate daughter of the prime minister seemed to have gradually subsided, at least under the personal protection of His Majesty the Great Emperor, the young men of the Imperial Observatory did not achieve further results.

The lace section of the newspaper is serializing the story of the first love of the president of the Supervision Yuan, and although the background of the newspaper is His Majesty the Emperor, if the dean, who is extremely terrifying and more insidious than a jackal, is in the capital, the editors of the newspaper will not have the courage to do so.

It can be seen that President Chen, who is deeply relied on by His Majesty, has not yet returned to his hometown for the first time in 20 years to take a vacation. And His Majesty the Emperor would never make a big move in the absence of the Dean.

Thinking of Lord Earl's instructions, Fuji Zijing really didn't understand why he had to rush before Lord Dean returned to Beijing to take this young master who had no identity back to Beijing, and the matter was so urgent. I don't dare to delay time anymore, even if I fight the old lady to get angry, I have to take the young master away...... He wiped his sweat, stood up, beckoned his men, and drove the carriage to Earl Beppu, at the corner of the port of Shanzhou.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

It was rare for Earl Beppu to be so lively, and all the servants stood at the bottom of the hall, curiously looking at the figures who looked like family members standing in the middle of the hall. Everyone knows that these people are all from Kyoto, so it's no wonder that the light blue clothes on their bodies look so energetic. It's just that Kyoto and Lanzhou are far apart, and there is not much contact between the two houses, and it is rare to see that Kyoto has sent so many people, so the girls are speculating about what is going to happen.

Fuji Zijing honestly led his men to kneel on the ground, respectfully kowtowed to the old lady a few times, asked the old lady to be safe, and then said all the words that Si Nanbo had confessed before leaving, and then stood aside quietly, waiting for the old lady to decide.

Fuji Zijing knew the true status of this old lady in the Fan family, so he even deliberately lowered his breathing, looking extremely respectful, but his eyes peeked at the young man who was standing behind the old lady and pinching her shoulders from time to time.

The boy is very beautiful, with long eyelashes, thin red lips, and soft and bright eyes, which looks like a girl, but the smile on his face makes people feel very kind.

This is naturally Fan Xian.

Fuji Zijing sighed in his heart, such a person who looks like jade is an illegitimate child with no identity, this God is really not very fair. Seemingly infected by the young man's sunny smile, Fujiko Kyo guessed that this young master should be much better than the one in the Kyoto family, right?

After listening to the words of the subordinate in front of her, the old lady lowered her eyes slightly, and after thinking for a while, she whispered: "I know, Zijing, you go and rest, the journey of more than a thousand miles has been hard...... Sisi, let the old yellow head prepare hot water and meals. ”

The subordinates responded in unison, and the family members from Kyoto quickly thanked them, and then honestly withdrew from the hall. Although Fuji Zijing was a little anxious, the earl had given himself a deadline, but he dared to say more in front of the old lady, and peeked at the young master, who was still a little strange, and withdrew.

The hall fell silent.

"You also heard just now, your father let you enter Beijing. The old lady gently put her hand on Fan Xian's hand on her shoulder, and patted it gently, "What do you think?"

Although Fan Xian was smiling, he had already calculated it in his heart, and he was also puzzled why his father had to call him to enter Beijing at this time, and there was no warning at all. If you are going to plan a promotion for your illegitimate son, but the imperial examination has already begun, and it will take at least a month to go to Kyoto at this time, and you will not be able to catch up anyway.

Hearing the old lady's question, he thought for a while and said with a wry smile: "I haven't been to Kyoto, although I am curious, but I am a little scared. ”

This answer is half truth, half lie - the truth is that he is indeed very curious about the people of Kyoto, especially the place where his mother once lived and fought, but he is not afraid at all, and there is only a trace of unknown confusion.

"Do you want to go?" said the old lady, smiling, as if she had seen through what the boy was thinking.

"Yes. Fan Xian replied honestly: "The child has lived in Lanzhou since he was a child, and he has long wanted to go out for a walk. ”

"Oh, you don't want to be with me anymore?" quipped the old lady.

Fan Xian grinned and joked: "Yes, yes, the ancestor will beat me on the board." He continued: "Anyway, the chief said just now, my father is going to let all Beppu move back to Kyoto this time, and he always goes with his grandmother, so I have nothing to worry about." ”

The old lady shook her head calmly, took his hand, let him stand in front of her, and said softly: "My body can't stand the top waves of this road, if you want to go, you can go, I'd better stay in Lanzhou to take care of my family." ”

Fan Xian was stunned, but he didn't expect his grandmother to be reluctant to go back to Kyoto, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
