Chapter 59: Rewards and Dialogues
It was Gonggong Yao who came to Fan's Mansion to proclaim, three cannons rang out, Fan's Mansion was busy for a while before setting up the incense case, doing enough routines, and the whole of the Mansion was waiting in the lobby, and the eldest prince and the princess of Northern Qi were inconvenient to stay in the mansion anymore, so they went by themselves, but the imperial doctor was still very strong and stayed in the study.
It was a big deal for the holy decree to enter the mansion, and even Fan Xian was forced to be carried out of the bedroom, but fortunately, the palace thought that he was recuperating from his injuries, so he was specially ordered not to get up to receive the decree, which was also a special favor.
He listened to the screaming voice of Gonggong Yao, and found that His Majesty had indeed rewarded a lot of things this time, but he hadn't finished reading it for a while. Naturally, he didn't pay attention to these rewards, so he didn't listen carefully, but felt that the eunuch's voice was very hypnotic, and he was lying on the warm and soft couch, his eyelids were slightly together, and he was about to fall asleep.
Fan Shangshu coughed lightly, reminded with his eyes, and after Wan'er was slightly startled, he gently pinched Fan Xian's palm, which made him open his eyes reluctantly, and in the end, he just listened to five hundred horses, how many acres of land, a number of gold ingots, and a few silver ingots...... There's nothing new in the end.
The Fan family lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of silver, this is something that everyone in Qingguo knows, so His Majesty is not ready to make too much compensation to Fan Xian in this regard, but just let Fan Xian recover the title, and by the way, he mentioned Fan Jian's first-class title, and the father and son are honored.
After the decree was announced, everyone in the hall dispersed silently, and Gonggong Yao began to read His Majesty's secret letter softly.
The secret will is not secret, but the benefit of this will is not easy to spread around.
Fan Xian's spirits perked up, and when he heard that His Majesty had transferred seven tiger guards to himself, he felt that the emperor was not too stingy. In addition to being overjoyed, he subconsciously omitted the other two wills of His Majesty.
Now he is most worried about his personal safety, and he will go to Jiangnan next year. Who knows if he will be able to recover his true anger by then, Uncle Wuzhu is now less and less serious about his own life, and he still has to rely on himself for good.
......
......
Outside Hua Yuan, Fan Xian saw the seven familiar tiger guards, and it was Gundam who led the team. These tiger guards had also been on an envoy to the Northern Qi with him a few months ago, and of course they were acquaintances, and now they were sent by His Majesty to protect Fan Tisi, and they were extremely happy in their hearts - it was better to stay with Lord Fan than to stay in the darkness behind His Majesty, not to mention that Lord Xiao Fan was skilled in martial arts. You don't have to worry too much.
The tiger guard, who was carrying the long sword, under the leadership of Gundam, half-knelt on the ground and saluted Fan Xian in unison: "See Lord Tisi. ”
Fan Xian coughed twice. smiled: "Get up, they are all old acquaintances, and the life of this official will depend on you in the future." ”
The tiger guards thought that Lord Xiao Fan was joking, but they didn't know how to answer, so they laughed dryly. How do you know that Fan Xian is telling the truth - the Seven Tigers are on his side, even if Haitang suddenly suffers from madness and wants to kill him, he will not be too afraid and helpless.
"Go and see your father first. Fan Xian looked at Gundam and said softly, "Although on weekdays. You shouldn't do that, but since you want to follow the official, you don't need to be too taboo. ”
Gundam nodded, thanking Vantis for breaking the point, and walked to the front house with some excitement, anxious to meet his old boss.
"Embroidered pillows, wine, clothes?...... There's even a set of musical instruments?"
Fan Xian was in his room, and at this time, he began to listen carefully to the list of rewards, glanced at his wife, and said with a wry smile: "Although I have been a co-arman, I will never play this." ”
"It's just the rules in the palace. ”
Lin Wan'er explained. Seeing Fan Xian's cowardly appearance, he didn't say that the rewards even included things such as toilets. At this time, the back house is busy in the mess, Fuji Zijing arranged people outside the house to follow the rewards from the palace, and the Fuji family was busy with the classification in the warehouse, and there were some important things, and they had to come to the room to ask for a little ***.
Seeing the daughter-in-law of the vine family running sweating in this cold weather, Fan Xian couldn't help but sigh: "Is this a reward or a punishment?"
The daughter-in-law of the vine family smiled and said, "Even if it is a stitch and a thread, it cannot be ambiguous." This is all a blessing in the palace...... In the whole of Kyoto, who else can get so much land at one time? The young master has earned a lot of face this time. ”
"The reward is not to be eaten. Fan Xian laughed at himself.
"Bought in exchange for my life...... Face, it's better not to. Lin Wan'er spoke almost at the same time as him, the husband and wife were a little blind to this reward, Wan'er was afraid that she still felt that the emperor's uncle had bad intentions, and hoped that the more generous the reward, her father-in-law would block the knife for him a few more times in the future.
"Your Majesty is really stingy. Fan Xian smiled and said: "When I reported the amount of gold and silver, I listened carefully, and the amount was really pitiful. ”
Lin Wan'er laughed and said, "Do you still care about those? It's just a meaning, the more complicated the reward, the more it shows Your Majesty's concern for your injury." ”
"Why don't you care?" Fan Xian raised his eyebrows and said, "Our family is now all dependent on that bookstore...... I'm always embarrassed to use it, and I have to go to the front house to ask my father for it, right? He has a lot of money in his hand, but I can't always gnaw at the old family. ”
It is quite simple to gnaw on the three words of the old clan, Lin Wan'er vaguely guessed it, smiled, saw that there were no idlers in the room, and teased softly: "Don't you still have a green building? I heard that the building can earn tens of thousands of taels of silver a month." ”
Fan Xian smiled and said, "That's Xiao Shi's, don't take it from me." ”
Lin Wan'er pretended to take a bite of him, and muttered: "In front of my family, I still pretend, and I am not tired of panicking." ”
"You have to pretend at all times, and it's better to hide yourself. ”
"What did Big Brother do with you before?" Lin Wan'er asked curiously with her eyes wide open.
Fan Xian thought for a moment and said, "He doesn't want to be the commander of the forbidden army...... Let's see if I can do anything. ”
Lin Wan'er frowned slightly and said, "According to the temperament of the eldest brother, he must not want to stay in Beijing." ”
Fan Xian sneered: "Who wants to stay in Beijing? It's just that Your Majesty is not worried that you can recruit a son who is good at war, and he always leads the army outside." ”
This is a bit bold and a little vicious. Wan'er couldn't help but tremble in her heart, and said, "You're becoming more and more careless when you speak now." ”
"In front of you, I can be more straightforward. Fan Xian sighed: "I am willing to help His Highness, but after all, I am a courtier." I don't have any say in these matters at all, and I really don't know how His Highness was so bold as to say it to me so thoroughly. ”
"Maybe the eldest brother thinks ...... For my sake, you will not harm him. Lin Wan'er smiled bitterly: "He has thought that things are so simple since he was a child. ”
"The water in Kyoto was so deep that I swam for a long time and found that I hadn't explored it yet. Fan Xian frowned and said: "Go to Jiangnan in spring, you and I will go together, strive to stay there for a while, and really stop." ”
"I just don't know that when the time comes, the imperial court will let you settle down and check the inner library first. Or just leave you to your job. Lin Wan'er analyzed carefully: "If it is the status of Qincha, you can't take your family and land, if you nominally want to stay in Jiangnan for a long time." It doesn't hurt me to go along. ”
Fan Xian shook his head and said, "No matter how he arranges it, I'm going to take you away anyway." ”
That's pretty unreasonable. Lin Wan'er said with a smile, a little sweeter in her heart, and she also understood. With Fan Xian and his own identity, no matter how bad the rules are, no one dares to say anything more now. It's just that I don't know if those ladies in the palace will agree to go to Jiangnan, she has been weak since she was a child, and the farthest place is just last year in Cangshan for a winter, today I heard Fan Xian talk, it seems that it is possible for me to go to the legendary beautiful and picturesque Jiangnan to see, I am very happy.
"It's too out of line. She suddenly thought of something, looked at Fan Xian and said, "Although Your Majesty has issued a secret decree for the Tiger Guard to protect you, you will always let the people of Kyoto know that although you are seriously injured now." The Tiger Guard came for a good reason, but ...... The identity of the Tiger Guard is different, and it will be very dazzling by your side. ”
Fan Xian stretched out his hand and touched the beard on his lips, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Majesty is a smart person, let Huwei come to the mansion, and the reason for using the land is naturally to protect you, the county lord." ”
......
......
There was a knock on the door outside the room, Fan Xian shook his head a little annoyed, not annoyed that someone came to disturb him at this time, but after discovering that he had lost all his true qi, he was far less sensitive to the changes in the surrounding environment than in the past, at least he could no longer hear the approaching footsteps for a long time in advance.
Fan Ruoruo led the imperial physician into the house, and the imperial physician saw that Lin Wan'er was also in the house, so he hurriedly made a big salute and turned his face away.
Qingguo is not like Northern Qi, there are not so many rules between men and women, not to mention that Tai Yizheng is old enough to be Wan'er's grandfather, his pedantic behavior immediately made everyone in the house laugh.
"Father...... said that since my brother was in good spirits, he would talk to the Imperial Doctor. Fan Ruoruo looked at her brother with a wry smile.
Fan Xian's heart was cold, knowing that it was his father, a shameless person, who finally couldn't withstand the water grinding kung fu of the Taiyi Zheng, and pushed him to the poor son to deal with. However, he had already made a decision in his heart about the requirements of the Tai Hospital, looked at the Tai Yi Zheng with a smile, and said, "Boss, your intentions, this official knows it. ”
The imperial doctor was about to speak, but Fan Xian hurriedly stopped: "But with the appearance of this official, it is absolutely impossible to go out of the house to teach...... He looked at the old gentleman with an angry expression, and said: "But...... I will dictate some of the contents in the house, print them in a book, and send them to you. ”
The imperial doctor was brushing his beard, and seemed to think that this was also a good result, and after a deep groan, he said: "It's just a doctor, and the most important thing is to teach by example, just looking at the books, it's not too appropriate." ”
Fan Xian took two breaths and said, "After the book comes out, if there is any difficulty, I will let Ruo Ruo explain it." ”
The imperial doctor was full of panic when he heard this: "How can you let Miss Fan show her face?" When the operation in the palace was performed, he watched from the side and knew that it was Miss Fan who was ...... Moving the needle, never doubting her means.
"If she doesn't understand anything, I have to teach her at home. Fan Xian sighed and said: "Presumably, the eldest prince also relayed my opinion before, this matter cannot be progressed too deeply, but there are always some useful precautions, you can refer to each other with the imperial doctors." ”
He then smiled and said, "And the family teacher is about to return to Beijing." At that time, his old man will be responsible for going to the Tai Hospital to give a lecture, and his level is much stronger than Ruoruo. ”
After the imperial doctor was overjoyed, he was slightly worried: "Mr. Fei...... I invited him a few times, but he wouldn't come. I can't help it. ”
"I'm going to ask Your Majesty's will, don't worry. Fan Xian comforted the old man in front of him like a child, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
After the imperial doctor was leaving satisfied, Fan Ruoruo exclaimed: "Brother, I don't understand anything, and I just did what you said that night." ”
"I can't help it. Fan Xian smiled helplessly: "I'll pick up high-temperature disinfection first, isolate the infection and write those that are easy to start, and wait for the teacher to come back, and you can also learn by the way." ”
Fan Ruoruo was stunned, and then a flash of brilliance appeared on her face. He nodded heavily.
Fan Xian and his wife were a little surprised, his sister would agree so happily, looking at her and not knowing what to say.
"Brother. You always say that in this life, you have to find what you like to do the most, and then keep doing it. Fan Ruoruo lowered her head and said with a slight shyness: "That night, although my sister didn't make any effort. But seeing my brother come back to life, I realized...... It turns out that saving a person will be such a joy. So even if my brother doesn't have this arrangement today, I still have to ask my brother for medical advice. ”
Fan Xian's mouth opened wide, and he couldn't speak for a long time, could it be that his reckless actions wanted to make a female doctor appear in Qingguo's future...... It's just that I don't know if Fei Jie teaches a female apprentice again, and in the end, he will make his sister Hua Bian Que or Fenghua.
No! It must not be a female monster like Hua Bian Que, of course, it should be a beautiful Queen Mother of the West like Fenghua. Fan Xian looked at his sister's more and more vivid face because of excitement, and comforted himself, at best, it has to be a Qingguo version of Dachangjin.
......
......
It's nightfall.
Sisi laid out the futon. Pull out the air outlet of the stove just right, and then go out of the house with Siqi, who brought water in. The husband and wife lay quietly on the bed, watching the candle flame outside the pavilion gradually dim, and did not make a sound for a long time.
"Can't sleep?"
"Well, I slept too much in half a day...... Why can't you sleep today? I remember when you were in Cangshan, you slept like a kitten every day. ”
"Speaking of cats...... Xiaobai, Xiaohuang, Xiaohei, I don't know what's going on. ”
"The vines were carried to the Grange, you instructed them, why did you start thinking about them at this time?" Fan Xian said with a smile with his eyes open.
Lin Wan'er muttered softly: "You said that raising a cat is not good for conceiving a child." ”
Fan Xian was stunned, smiled bitterly, it's not good to say in front of you, I actually hate cats, right? Whether it's an old cat or a kitten, looking at their lazy and cunning appearance, it's a stomach.
"Xianggong...... Am I useless?" Lin Wan'er turned to the side and exhaled like an orchid spraying on Fan Xiandi's face.
"It's a little itchy, help me scratch it. Fan Xian motioned to his wife to help him scratch his face, and asked curiously, "Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"
Lin Wan'er gently helped him scratch his ears and pouted in the dark: "The people around you seem to have their own strengths and can help you." Si Zhe can do business, and if she wants to study medicine now, she is a famous talented woman in Kyoto. Xiao Yan Gongzi will help you take care of the affairs of the hospital, let's talk about the begonia in the north......"
Fan Xianju coughed twice, almost breaking the wound on his chest.
Wan'er gently stroked the top of his wound: "That's also a strange woman, I'm afraid she also has the big idea of stabilizing the country." It's just me...... Since childhood, he has been in poor health, and he has been pampered by so many people in the palace and grew up, but he can't do anything, and he can't do anything, and he can't do anything. ”
Fan Xian heard the meaning of his wife's words, and after being silent for a while, he said, "Wan'er, in fact, there are some things I haven't said to you. ”
"Huh?"
"In life, if you are not useful, you are good, and if you are useless, you are not good. He said gently: "These roles are actually not what we people are willing to play, such as me, my original intention was to be a rich idler, and like Yan Bingyun, in fact, how could he be willing to be the leader of the secret spy for a lifetime, and the situation between him and Miss Shen Family, you don't see it." ”
"And for me. Wan'er, you are very special in yourself. The corners of Fan Xian's lips were filled with a soft smile, but his eyes did not look at his wife next to the pillow, "You grew up in the palace since you were a child, such a filthy, dirty and dangerous place. But it didn't change your temperament, it grew freely like a green lotus, and I picked it off with my fate...... That's a rare thing in itself. ”
Wan'er listened to the little love words, her heart was sweet, but she was still a little sad: "But...... After all, it's still ......"
Fan Xian stopped her from continuing: "And...... Wan'er, you are very capable, even your younger brother doesn't dare to win mahjong. ”
The husband and wife laughed.
"Besides, I know what you're really good at. Fan Xian was silent for a while, and then said extremely seriously: "You have more experience than me in judging the direction of the court. And the accuracy of the vision is really amazing, after the spring. If it weren't for you in the palace, I wouldn't be so comfortable...... I believe that if you want to help me strategize, my ability must not be under Yan Bingyun, but just ...... Just ......"
Lin Wan'er opened her bright eyes, and her eyes were unusually calm: "Just what?"
"It's just that I don't want to. I don't want you to be involved in these things. Fan Xian said categorically: "These things are too dirty, I don't want you to touch them." You are my wife, and it is my responsibility to make your life easy and enjoyable. Instead of making you sad all day long. ”
"I'm a machismo. He smiled and concluded, "At least in this regard." ”
......
......
After a long time, Wan'er sighed, but there was a hint of satisfaction and comfort in her sigh, and said softly: "After all, I am a member of the royal family, and there are some things in the future, you better not let them hear...... I know you trust me, but you've also said that these things are filthy. It is inevitable that husband and wife will only be afraid and unavoidable, I don't want you to doubt me in the future, I would rather you not tell me that. ”
Her marriage to Fan Xian originated from His Majesty's finger marriage, and it has a clear political flavor in it. It's just that the heavens are beautiful, so that this little man and woman can use chicken legs as a medium to recount their romance through the window, which is much more stable than ordinary political marriages.
It's just that in the face of politics, what if a husband and wife are close? Such tragedies are not uncommon in history. What's more, the eldest princess is her biological mother after all, so Wan'er's words did not have a trace of hypocrisy, let alone retreat, but really considered Fan Xian.
"Don't think that much. Fan Xian said calmly and firmly: "If people live for a lifetime and can't even trust their closest people, why should this kind of pitiful life continue?"
What he wants to say is that if there is a chance to start all over again in life, but you must always be wary of the person next to the pillow, then he ...... Rather than ever reborn.
The first snow falls in Kyoto, and small snowflakes fall on the ground, melting into the mud and making it difficult to accumulate. The damp and cold in the houses are getting heavier, but fortunately, when Qingguo is in a strong state, there should be abundant materials, even ordinary people's homes are not afraid of keeping warm, and you can look at the place where the young people gather from a distance, and the black eaves are bubbling with mist, presumably there are stoves in the houses.
A very ordinary carriage, I don't know how many turns it made in Beijing, and finally came to the courtyard of a private house with a separate courtyard. Today, it was cold, no one went out on the street, and the surroundings were quiet, so naturally no one saw the people coming down from the carriage.
Deng Ziyue carefully carried Fan Xian to the wheelchair and pushed into the small courtyard.
Fan Xian was wearing a big coat today, the fur collar was higher than his neck, it was very warm, he reached out to his lips and spit hot air to warm it, and his eyes glanced at the young man who was chopping wood under the command of Su Wenmao in the corner of the courtyard, and was slightly stunned.
The young man's eyebrows were a little familiar, naked, and he didn't have the slightest chill in this winter, and kept chopping wood.
"This is the younger brother of the manager?" Fan Xian squinted slightly, looking at the young man, as if he wanted to find the shadow of the girl in the northern country from him.
Deng Ziyue hummed softly: "After the adults confessed, the dean issued another warrant, and we took him out of prison, Miss Si entered the Northern Qi Palace, his identity is a little sensitive, and it is not easy to settle, after asking for instructions last time, he arranged to come here." ”
Fan Xian nodded, this small courtyard is his only place to keep himself, except for himself and the Qi Nian group, only Chen Pingping knows, and it is the safest. The reason why he came here today despite his injuries was because His Majesty transferred the Tiger Guards to himself, and although the existence of these Tiger Guards could ensure his safety, there must be His Majesty's eyes and ears to monitor him among them.
Thinking that it would be difficult to come so easily in the future, he came here in the snow today.
"This Si Gongzi is a reckless man...... For his sister to run from Northern Qi to Qingguo, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not run out of this courtyard in a few days. Fan Xian clenched his fists in his mouth, coughed lightly, and said, "Keep an eye on it, and if there is any abnormal movement, kill him." ”
Deng Ziyue replied expressionlessly, pushing him inside, and the wheelchair ran over the muddy snow on the ground.
The officials of the Supervision Yuan in the house came out to greet him, and when he looked at Lord Tisi who was in a wheelchair, he couldn't help but feel a slight feeling in his heart, as if he had a delusion, thinking that Qingguo had another terrible Chen Pingping.
