Sun Hao'er sat in the side hall nervously. She sat very well, wearing a water blue sè shirt, fresh and elegant, not like a guest, cautious a little too much. In the morning, she had already come to Fan's house, and her mind had already become a mess, and she was ashamed of one of her daughters' house, but she didn't care about her shame and came to the house to see her, and for the other time, she was thinking about her father's long sigh at home, and she was extremely anxious. And in her heart, the most flustered corner was occupied by Fan Xian's appearance.

I haven't seen Lord Xiao Fan for three years, although the maids often listen to some rumors from the outside, and then talk in the room, Sun Hao'er knows that the other party has had a very good life in the past three years, gave birth to a pair of children, the family is harmonious, and there is no problem in the court, and her heart is comforted to the extreme. Sun Hao'er wanted to see Fan Xian in her heart, but she also knew that if she really met with Xiao Fan, it would be extremely impolite.

The tea on the long table was slightly cold, and there was a girl ring who came up to change it, the fourth tea that had been changed, from the morning to this time, the Fan Mansion did not treat this Miss Sun family coldly, after the Fuji family came back from the medical hall, they began to be slightly respectful, and chatted with her very calmly, and talked for a few hours, and the words in the woman's mouth were not the same.

Sun Hao'er knew that this woman was the lady in charge of the Fan Mansion, and she didn't dare to treat her lightly, but when she heard that Lord Chen was not in the mansion, she was already relieved. Everyone knows that the county lord in the little grandfather's house is the most gentle and amiable, and never expresses any opinions on external affairs, but only presides over the Hangzhou meeting to seek some benefits for the poor people of Qingguo. It's just that Sun Hao'er knows the rumors in Beijing, so she is always a little scared.

After waiting for a long time, the vine family only said that the county lord went to the palace, and the grandfather went to run an errand again, not in the house, and there was no host to entertain him, so please be more considerate of Miss Sun. Sun Hao'er had already looked at the officials with sharp eyes, going in and out from the edge of the garden, and had already guessed that Lord Xiao Fan was probably hiding in the back garden and refused to see him, and was slightly disappointed, so he got up and said goodbye.

Sun Hao'er was slightly stunned, but also guessed that something was being discussed in the back garden about her arrival, so she sat down calmly.

After a while, Fan Ruoruo walked into the side hall, Sun Hao'er quickly got up and saluted, the two women looked at each other, and said a few words softly, Fan Ruoruo whispered what Fan Xian had confessed.

Sun Hao'er was full of joy, thinking that if Lord Xiao Fan was willing to come, it would naturally be excellent, so she hurriedly thanked her, and said a few polite words to each other, and then said goodbye and left.

Fan Ruoruo saw the faint melancholy of this girl's family in her joy clearly, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, thinking that her brother's love debts were really too much, and couldn't help but whisper: "Brother is in the back garden, but there is a difference between men and women, it is not good to come out to meet, please forgive the girl for his hard work." ”

Sun Hao'er's body was shocked, and she tasted something else from the words that Miss Fan suddenly came out, as if she vaguely grasped the hardships of Xiao Fan and her pity for herself, her cheeks were slightly red, and she was grateful in her heart, and she went away with a deep blessing.

Fan Ruoruo looked at the back of this girl's house, couldn't help but smile bitterly, turned her head, but saw Fan Xian's sneaky appearance, and said with a smile: "Everyone is gone, what else do you want to see?" After a pause, she said: "But she understands what you mean, and she is grateful for her appearance." ”

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but glare at Fan Xian with a rare glance and said, "You, can you not be so careful?" It seems that she is thinking about Miss Sun, but I don't know how she will be deeply trapped. ”

As soon as these words came out, Ruo Ruocai found that his words seemed to reveal a ghostly aura, and he was shocked, so he quickly covered his smile and said: "There is something I forgot to tell you, we all heard it wrong before. ”

Fan Xian didn't care about this sentence, just sighed with a wry smile: "When does being a good person become a bad thing?"

After successfully avoiding Miss Sun and appeasing his sister, Fan Xian was idle again, stilting Erlang's legs, while looking at the letters written by Shi Xianli and Su Wenmao, while humming something softly there. The mission over there in Dongyi City is still grinding, looking around the sword and estimating that it can last for two more days, he is not in a hurry, it doesn't hurt to stay in Kyoto for another six or seven days, he has not handled his personal affairs carefully for a long time, and he can just use his heart.

Su Wenmao's position in the three major squares of the inner library in northern Fujian has become more and more stable, with the clansman of Ren Shao'an as a helper, coupled with the close cooperation between the Supervision Yuan and the Inner Treasury Transfer Division, the second champion of the year has now become the number one person in the three major squares, of course, this is mainly because he represents Fan Xian's will.

Shi Xianli is still traveling around the world, five years have passed, and the scholar of that year has accepted his fate of not having a career with half helplessness and half casually, if he is really willing, in fact, it is not difficult for Fan Xian to arrange an official and a half position for him. It's just that Shi Yanli knows that in the heart of the door master, he is different from the other three sons, and what he has to do is more dishonorable and more important, for the sake of the intelligence system of Baoyue Lou and the silver two turnover matters, he is willing to give up some very important things to help his door master.

Of course, today's owner of Baoyue Building, walking in the world, no one dares to disrespect him, Shi Xianli, a businessman, is actually much more chic than officials like Ji Chang and Wanli.

In fact, he still doesn't know Fan Xian as well as Sang Wen, Fan Xian built Baoyue Tower all over the world, the starting point is actually to pity those poor women whose fate is not in his hands, and try to use Baoyue Tower to influence the lowest profession from ancient times to the present, not seeking absolute justice, but at least to be more formal.

Fan Xian finished reading Shi Xianli's letter, but he couldn't help laughing, looking at the intractable words in the letter, he was afraid that Shi Xianli and Sang Wen couldn't help but work together for many years, and finally had some faint feelings.

Shi Xianli wanted to ask Fan Xian to call the shots, but he didn't dare to say it clearly. Fan Xian felt that this was really funny, he didn't think about sending these two people to a pile at all, because from the beginning, he knew that there was a lonely Jianghu guest beside Sang Wen, who wanted to be a flower messenger, and he didn't know what the situation around Sang Wen was now.

Sang Wen's gentleness, Sang Wen's lips, and Sang Wen's carefulness and low-key are all Fan Xian's happy characteristics, otherwise she would not have been picked up from the building back then. Now that she and Shi Yanli are older, it seems that it is time to think about these things.

While thinking like this, Fan Xian crumpled the letter in his hand into snowflakes, tilted his head, and sat on the chair in a daze. He had calculated the power in his hands many times, but he had never thought about it with such a clear purpose as today - the inner treasury of the Supervision Yuan was naturally the two most powerful weapons in his hands, but if His Majesty made a will, it was estimated that at most two or three percent of the people in the Supervision Yuan would stand firmly behind Fan Xian.

"That lump of ice will probably stand in the middle, and it will definitely not resist the order, but it probably won't deal with me either. Fan Xian thought silently, can the friendship with Yan Bingyun withstand the test in the future? Then he thought in his heart, the entire Supervision Yuan, one place, three places, and four places, his own control is the strongest, and the only people who can really follow him to the Sword Mountain and penetrate the sea of fire are actually only those in the Qi Nian group.

On the Neiku side, Fan Xian has been doing tricks since a few years ago, he believes that if things change in the future, he will definitely have a way to make a very strong reaction, and the Neku is now an artifact that Fan Xian can use to fight against Tianwei.

The loyalty of Shi Xianli and Su Wenmao is definitely worth believing, coupled with Deng Ziyue, who is now in Xiliang, Fan Xian suddenly found that the power in his hands is indeed very large, and there is a faint tendency to break away from the emperor's majesty.

It is no wonder that the emperor began to experiment with the post-rì arrangement of the court.

A smile appeared on the corner of Fan Xian's lips, thinking that after all, his majesty still didn't realize the most critical point, and he went to fight with him later, and then confirmed and protected the power in his hand, which should be able to support him for a few more years.

As he and Begonia once said, this world belongs to those old people, and it is theirs, and it will be theirs in the final analysis.

All they need is time.

............ At the end of April, a chūn flower was not damaged by the summer wind, but it was scattered to the ground by a sudden chūn rain. The flowers and trees in the courtyards stretching out of the long street of Kyoto's southern castle watched helplessly as their clothes were torn into strands by the seemingly gentle but actually merciless chūn wind, falling to the stone slabs outside the courtyard wall, trampled by hurried pedestrians, and sinking deep into the mud, revealing only a few pink edges.

The residence of Lord Yonsun Keishu of Kyoto Prefecture is on the main street of Nancheng, and not far from this mansion is the Yamen of Kyoto Prefecture, but the entrance of the Yamen is open on the other side, and the power and the tranquility of wealth depend on each other, but they do not disturb each other.

Today's rì is not Sun Jingxiu's birthday, but his old mother's eighty birthday, which is indeed an important rì, Fan Ruoruo's previous rì misheard what he said, which is what he refers to. The old lady of the Sun Mansion is also a person with a fate, and Sun Jingxiu rarely does things, so as soon as various posts are posted, the officials always have to come to socialize.

Although there is no red ribbon lantern hanging at the door of the Sun Mansion today, it is also deliberately added with some festive meaning, there are many people who come and go to give gifts at the door, but there are not many carriages coming, only to see the long street, those housekeepers and subordinates, just very usually send the gift box into the house, and said a few words of accusation for their master, and left the Sun Mansion.

Some lower-level officials who didn't know the inside story couldn't help but be a little surprised when they saw this scene, thinking that the dignified Kyoto Prefecture Yin Zuoshou would not be deserted like this, which was far from the lively scene when the mansions of ordinary magnates were doing business.

Kyoto Prefecture is in charge of the security and people's livelihood of the entire Kyoto, and most of the people who deal with it are the yamen of various ministries, the princes of each prefecture, and the lords, so it is difficult to do the mission of Kyoto Prefecture, but the status of Kyoto Prefecture is also high, when the second prince seized the throne, he made great efforts in Kyoto Prefecture, so generally speaking, no official will give Kyoto Prefecture such a faceless.

This scene is really surprising. The people gathered around the corner gate whispered and didn't know what they were talking about, but people occasionally thought of the rumors of Kyoto Prefecture's Yin Sun Keixiu in the officialdom, and they felt that it was a natural thing.

Sun Jingxiu is undoubtedly the luckiest person in the entire Qingguo officialdom, he is not a genuine person, but a scribe, since the beginning of his career, he is doing copywriting work in Kyoto Prefecture, this is half a lifetime, originally with his background and no background, in such a critical place, I am afraid that if I do three more lives, I will not be able to promote the position of Kyoto Prefecture Yin.

However, in the past six or seven years of Qingguo, the crown prince and the second prince have seized the heirs, and after Lord Xiao Fan entered Beijing, there was a chaotic war, and Kyoto Prefecture, which was in a key place, became the primary force contention of all parties. Kyoto Prefecture Yin is not like the governors of various provinces, the prefects of various places, the emperor is far away, he can protect himself wisely, and he will not rely on any prince - the government is in Kyoto, and no force will let them go, and Kyoto Prefecture Yin must express his position.

So, Mei Zhili was forced away, and the Kyoto Prefecture Yin who was helped by the second prince was stepped down by Fan Xian, and in just five or six years, the Kyoto Prefecture Yin was born and fell several, and no official dared to have the courage to forcibly ask for this official position, so Sun Jingxiu, the editor of Kyoto Prefecture, coincidentally sat in the position of Kyoto Prefecture Yin.

In previous years, the Kyoto Prefecture Yin must have been a scholar in the court, but after Mei took charge, this rule was messed up, and by the time Sun Jingxiu arrived, he was a single Kyoto Prefecture Yin, and he had no title.

So in the officialdom, all the officials commented with a hint of jealousy and disdain, Sun Jingxiu is the luckiest Kyoto Prefecture Yin in history, but he is also the least powerful Kyoto Prefecture Yin, who knows when he will be ousted.

............ However, Sun Jingxiu also has his strengths, many years of copywriting work has made him not good at communicating with officials, and he is not used to patting the sycophants of those scholars in the middle school, and he pounces on government affairs wholeheartedly, and he is a strict person, and never takes the rumors outside to heart.

It is precisely this kind of xìng style that made him, who did not see the so-called emperor's edict in the autumn of the seventh year of Qingli, accepted the will of the Empress Dowager and did his best to make Fan Xian wanted in Kyoto.

The world is unpredictable, the world is unpredictable, who knows that His Majesty the Emperor is not dead? Who knows that Lord Xiao Fan is actually a great loyal minister! Whenever he thinks about this, Sun Jingxiu can't help but be afraid, and it is also thanks to him that he raised a good girl, so that he found a backer for the first time in the court.

And it is the highest backer in the DPRK.

So the officials were even more jealous, and the rumors of selling women for glory did not know how long they spread, and finally subsided under the strong suppression of Fan Xian, and after three years, the officials found that the connection between Fan Mansion and Kyoto Mansion was not close, and they believed that the legend in the boudoir was just a legend, and there was no follow-up story.

It is precisely because of the belief that Lord Xiao Fan has no relationship with Kyoto Prefecture in terms of men and women, that the front of the Rì Sun Mansion will seem so deserted today, even more deserted than the flowers and trees on the street.

............ The stewards who gave gifts in each mansion left the Sun Mansion, but did not leave the southern city, but very cleverly chose a teahouse at the end of the street to rest. Before noon, this extremely luxuriously decorated teahouse was lively, and those stewards who knew each other in rì met and smiled, and invited them to sit down, and half of the teahouse was filled in a short time.

The smiles of the stewards were very strange, and they all showed tacit energy, as well as a faint disdain for Kyoto Prefecture. The masters of these stewards are either the officials in the six ministries or the adults in the three temples, and some are the magnates on the side of Guogong Lane. They were all just giving gifts today, and people didn't come in person.

These stewards gathered in the teahouse and did not return to the house as soon as possible, which also shows that these princes and officials know very well in their hearts what it means for Sun's birthday today.

Sun Jingxiu is confused...... This is the common idea of the civil and military officials, since the scholar He who is a scholar in the middle school has already heard the news, it is naturally the one in the palace who has the idea, you don't dare to resign immediately, but what kind of birthday banquet do you want to hold at this moment?

Do you want to see the attitude of the palace, do you want to see the rumors in the officialdom, or do you want to see something?

It's just that these powerful officials don't want to do things too much, so after letting the stewards give the gifts, they still stare around the Sun Mansion, because they don't know what will happen, to be precise, they are still a little afraid in their hearts whether the rumor that has been calm for nearly two years is true.

They don't know if they will be there in person today. It stands to reason that as Fan Xian, the Kyoto Prefecture should not alarm him, but the officials are all cunning people, and they still need to be confirmed one last time.

............ "Whose sedan chair is that?" A steward who was talking about the wind and snow, suddenly narrowed his eyes, and saw a large sedan chair passing by the door of Sun's mansion, looking at the number of people and curtain decorations, the grade should not be low, and asked curiously.

The replacement of Yin in Kyoto Prefecture is still in the stage of blowing the wind, but all the officials know that this is the first time that Lord He Zongwei, who is just popular, has completed a personnel transfer with great influence with the support of His Majesty, so the officials of all ministries are extremely smart to stand behind He Zongwei, and no one will stand in front of Lord He at this time.

Today's birthday banquet is a good time to stand in line, everyone is willing to be close to the young and gentle He University, so the door of the Sun Mansion is deserted, but at this time, a somewhat dazzling sedan chair stopped at the door of the Sun Mansion.

The steward of the servant's house scolded with a smile: "I guess it's a mansion that doesn't participate in political affairs." ”

The relationship between the servant of the Ministry and He Zongwei is very good, and he knows the inside story of this matter very well, so he didn't think of coming at all, and even the tone of the steward was a little sneering.

Who knew that a steward shook his head and said, "Something is wrong, it looks like the Mansion of the Duke of Liuguo." ”

As soon as these words came out, the stewards who came to give gifts from Guogong Lane hurriedly walked to the railing, looked at it for a long time, and their faces gradually changed, but they didn't say anything to the people around them, they looked at each other nervously, and sneaked downstairs while the rest of the stewards didn't react.

The rest of the stewards in the teahouse didn't notice the movement here, they were just curious, how could Liu Guogong, who had never been very involved in political affairs, deign to be noble and come to give the Sun family face?

Immediately afterwards, another eight-lifted sedan chair came slowly from the direction of Beicheng and landed at the door of the Sun Mansion, and it could be seen from a distance that Yin Sun Jingxiu of Kyoto Prefecture had just taken the Duke of Guogong into the mansion, and at this time he crawled out again, and he was about to be shocked to the ground.

A steward in the teahouse screamed: "It's the old prince Jing!"

As soon as these words came out, a strange and quiet atmosphere enveloped the teahouse, which was still very noisy before, and all the stewards stopped talking and began to calculate quickly in their minds, estimating what this shocking scene in front of them meant.

Some smart people, who have already thought of another big man from Liu Guogong and Jing Wangye, two noble figures who will never appear in Kyoto Prefecture, turned pale with a semblance, and quietly went down to the teahouse.

And the rest of the stewards were still staring nervously at the door of the Sun Mansion, as if they didn't believe their eyes, and they didn't believe that Sun Jingxiu, the old lonely man, could invite these two to come out and give him strength.

At this moment, two inconspicuous black carriages drove smoothly along the streets of Nancheng, drove past the teahouse, and stopped in front of the Sun Mansion.

The black carriage was inconspicuous and glaring. The faces of everyone in the teahouse turned white, and they watched the young grandfather get out of the carriage, and they were even more embarrassed to see that the county lord who was dressed in gorgeous clothes was also slowly ascending the stairs with the support of the grandfather...... In an instant, the teahouse became extremely quiet, and all the stewards rushed downstairs and rushed to their own mansion with lightning speed.

They must inform their masters that Lord Xiao Fan is here, Lord Chen is here, Lord Jing is here, and Liu Guogong is here...... Who are you? Don't hurry up! Even if Gong Bo just wants to slap He Zongwei's face, you still have to look at it with a smile, don't you?

For a time, there was chaos in the official mansions of the entire southern city of Kyoto, and those who were looking for clothes were looking for clothes, those who were ventilating and reporting were ventilating, and those who were preparing for gifts were re-prepared. But all the officials had only one goal, and that was the Sun Mansion.

Most of the officials who had nothing to do with themselves vaguely guessed what the little grandfather was going to the Sun Mansion for, and in addition to being horrified, they couldn't help but feel a little excited, this Kyoto has been too peaceful for too long, and it can be regarded as a good show to see how Lord Xiao Fan bullied the scholars and the adults of various departments.
