Chapter Forty-Nine: Chen Yuan Has a Guest
The swing swing was higher and higher, and suddenly Sisi seemed to see something in the sky, so he hurriedly stopped pedaling, let the swing slow down, and before the swing was completely stopped, he hurriedly jumped down, and ran to Fan Xian's side without even wearing the shoes that fell on the grass.
The few little girls who were holding next to her were startled, and Siqi was about to make fun of her, but looking at her expression, he stopped his mouth very knowingly. Even the three masters here felt bored, thinking to themselves what is crazy about this girl? Why is she so panicked, with the power of the Fan Mansion, what visitors would she be afraid of in Kyoto? Unless it was a eunuch who led the forbidden army to raid the house.
"At the gate of the house...... It's King Jing's carriage!"
Sisi panted and ran to Fan Xian's soft couch, stroked his chest and said. Fan Xian was stunned, immediately woke up, jumped up from the soft couch, and shouted: "Retreat!" While running to the back of the garden, he did not forget to turn around and praise Sisi: "Girl, clever." β
Wan'er and Ruoruo, who were beside the soft couch, looked at each other suspiciously, and immediately came to their senses, their faces changed slightly, and they quickly stood up, instructed their subordinates to arrange for leaving the house, and shouted to everyone to hurry up and set up the car.
For a while, the back garden of Fan's house, which was still full of laughter and laughter, immediately became a grain and horse farm before the war, and everyone was busy, cleaning up the soft couch, avoiding the avoidance, and finding clothes for the masters, and was busy for a while, and finally used the shortest time to clean up a qiΔ, and hugged Fan Xian to the back door of the back house, at this time, Fuji Zijing also personally pulled the carriage to the door.
"It's still sick, so I have to hide everywhere. Wan'er draped a somewhat thick coat on Fan Xian's body and complained: "Uncle Xiao is really, he said that he didn't need to come and see it." β
Fan Xian didn't have time to answer her, like a guerrilla, he bravely got into the carriage.
Lin Wan'er smiled sarcastically, turned her face and saw that her sister-in-law was also full of nervousness, holding a small incense burner and following Fan Xian into the carriage, she couldn't help but be surprised, and said, "Ruoruo, what are you hiding?"
The reason why Sisi saw the carriage of King Jing's family, Fan Xian was going to run away, Wan'er as a wife naturally understood the reason, recently the Fan family and the second prince faction are fighting, Li Hongcheng was splashed by Fan Xian I don't know how much dirty water, these days have been confined by King Jing in the palace, King Jing came at this time, needless to say, one is to find Fan Shangshu to ask what is going on, and the other is to come to talk to Fan Xian and say, as for the three, you don't have to think about it to know, it must be to say a few good words for the prince, and help both sides to make peace by the way.
The emperor's own brother is here, and for so many years, the children of the Fan family have respected King Jing as an elder, and they get along very well. What's more, with the cunning of that old flower farmer, how could he not guess that Fan Xian was framing Li Hongcheng. Fan Xian is very afraid of this old man's swearing, and the other party's identity can crush him to death, what can he do? So, of course, he had to pat his ass and leave quickly.
Listening to her sister-in-law's question, Fan Ruoruo, who had always had a quiet expression, replied with a wry smile embarrassedly, and said embarrassedly: "Sister-in-law, how embarrassing it is to meet at this time. β
Wan'er was stunned when she heard this, and immediately thought that she had bullied Li Hongcheng for several days, and the reputation of Jingwangfu was stinking by Xianggong, and it was really not appropriate to go to see her future father-in-law at this time. She suddenly thought that her father-in-law and sister-in-law had gone into hiding, so what should she do if she stayed in the house......? And the little uncle's mouth, Wan'er snorted, took off her warm robe from Siqi's hand, and lowered her head and got into the carriage.
The brother and sister in the carriage were stunned and asked, "Why did you come in too?"
Wan'er gave him a blank look: "Uncle Xiao came to ask for the crime, do you want me to bear it alone? I'm not that stupid." β
The people of the Fan Mansion who were up and down the carriage were clearly ruthless in the temper of the old prince, and they couldn't help laughing when they saw that the three little masters of their family were scared like this. In the midst of low laughter, Fuji Zijing waved his horsewhip, and the carriage of Fan's mansion with the Fang Yuan logo drove out quietly, and the sound of several young people complaining to each other was faintly heard in the carriage.
The carriage was very careful not to go down the main street, but went around a circle, leaving the confines of Nancheng, and was not seen by the subordinates of King Jing's family. Seeing that the carriage disappeared at the end of the street, the people of Fan's Mansion at the door immediately dispersed, and after a while, they heard the sound of a bell ringing through the back garden of Fan's Mansion.
"I'll fuck it!" King Jing stood in front of a large number of restless people, crossed his old waist, looked at the empty and lonely back garden, and there was not even a single mouse left, and he was angry, "These little bastards know that Lao Tzu is coming, and they hide like a fart, am I so terrible?"
At the front of the crowd, now the nominal mother of Fan Xian and the three people, the Liu family, couldn't help but feel a little sad on her face when she heard the prince's sentence of "fuck it", and lowered her voice and replied: "Lord, I said first, those children went to Xicheng to see a doctor today." β
King Jing looked at the swing that was still swinging slightly, snorted, and scolded: "Fan Jian's illness was cured by Fan Xian, and he still needs to see a fart doctor!"
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ flowers bloom two, first one branch, not to mention that the prince is still in the back garden of the air fluttering, the three young people in the carriage escaped from the Fan Mansion at this time, it is a relaxed body, I feel that the air in this Kyoto autumn is much fresher, and the mood is excellent.
Since Fan Xian returned to China from the Northern Qi Dynasty, there have been a series of things, Mo said that he took his family to Cangshan for a vacation, and went to the grange on the outskirts of Beijing to take a rest, but he didn't even have a good visit to Kyoto. In the past few days, the overall situation has been decided, and I am a little more leisurely, but because I pretend to be sick and can't go to court, I always have to give my majesty face, and I am embarrassed to wander around the street openly, so I have to chatter with my wife and sister at home until my mouth is dry.
Fortunately, Prince Jing came today, and Fan Shangshu would not be angry because of Fan Xian's escape, which gave the three of them a chance to sneak around Kyoto.
Sitting in the carriage, Fan Xian lifted the curtain and opened a small crack, and the two girls' families greedily looked at the scenery and characters on the street.
Wan'er pouted and said, "This is out, but it's inconvenient to get out of the car, is it difficult to get stuck in the car?"
Ruoruo also frowned and said, "It's inconvenient for my brother to show up at this time...... she suddenly said, "But brother, you can dress up in disguise, right?"
Fan Xian laughed and said, "Even if the people in this capital can't recognize me, can't they recognize the two flowers in your capital?" Knowing that he was lying, Wan'er and Ruoruo were still a little faintly happy, and the girl was really coaxing.
"Let's go to Yishiju for dinner. Wan'er sat a little bored, and came up with an idea: "Come out of a quiet box on the third floor, no one will see us, and you can also take a look at the scenery." β
Coincidentally, at this time, the carriage had just passed downstairs in Yishiju. Fan Xian looked out of the car window, and suddenly thought that after he came to Kyoto from Shanzhou, the first time he went shopping, was with his sister and brother, eating in Yishiju, I forgot what I said at the time, it seemed to be related to the wind and bones, but I remember to hit Guo Baokun with a black fist, and I also bought a pirated stone book in the hands of the kind middle-aged woman downstairs.
The Guo family has been overthrown by himself, and Guo Youzhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was hanged in the prison because of the case of ChΕ«n, but the case was not connected, so I don't know where the son of Guo Baokun was revealed.
He didn't answer Wan'er's words, but said with some regret: "One stone dwelling...... Downstairs, why are there no book vendors?"
Fan Ruoruo glanced at him and said softly: "After my brother opened the bookstore, Si Zhe went to find some people, so the government investigated more strictly...... There are far fewer book sellers in Kyoto. β
Fan Xian was slightly stunned, and then remembered that his younger brother had said that he would go out in black and white to cut off the business of those who sold pirates, thinking of this section, he naturally remembered Fan Sizhe, who was now going north, and subconsciously said: "Sizhen should be able to go to Beijing at the beginning of next month." β
The carriage suddenly became quiet, Wan'er and Ruoruo glanced at each other, and only after a while did they whisper: "It's quite cold in the north, and I don't know if I have enough clothes." β
Fan Xian lowered his head and smiled slightly, and said, "Don't be concerned about this matter...... He's fourteen and will take care of himself. Having said that, what he thought in his heart was another matter, at least Fan Xian had an even more bad feeling for the second prince, and it was particularly unpleasant to look at the Yishiju again, and said coldly: "The Cui family's property is to give silver to the second child, and I won't take care of his family's business." β
Wan'er can't say anything at this time, after all, the second prince and she have also stayed in the palace together for nearly ten years, and there are always some feelings, although the battle between Xianggong and her cousin, she chose to be silent and secretly support Fan Xian very rationally, but it is always difficult to speak ill words, at this time, looking at the atmosphere is a little depressing, she smiled and said: "Since you don't support his industry, you have to support our own industry...... Otherwise......"
She rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Let's go to Baoyue Tower." β
............ Take your wife and sister to visit the Qinglou?Fan Xian was almost not scared to death by this mentions, coughed twice, and said: "Baoyue Lou is not my property, it is Shi Xianli." β
Wan'er glanced at him and said, "Who doesn't know that it's a trick, you can open the Qinglou and go there, and I didn't say anything." β
Ruoruo tilted his head to the side and couldn't help laughing.
Fan Xian raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Why am I opening the Qinglou, you know that I am wiping my ass for my younger brother." β
Wan'er didn't follow: "In short, it's your own business, didn't you say that the dishes there are the best in Beijing? We don't go to the girl, we just eat and eat what are you afraid of? And our own business, we don't have to worry about the news that you pretended to be sick and came out to wander around will be known by others." β
Fan Xian flatly refused: "You want to eat, I asked the chef in the building to make it and send it to the house, a girl's family, sitting in the Qinglou, what is that like?"
Wan'er stuck out her tongue mischievously and said, "When the dish is ready, it will be cold when it is delivered." β
Fan Xian said angrily: "Then it's always time to call the cook home, right?"
Seeing that he insisted, Wan'er couldn't help sighing, and said with great pity: "I really want to go to Baoyue Tower to sit and see what the little uncle's Qinglou looks like." She blinked wide-eyed and said, "Seriously, I'm really curious about this kind of place. β
Ruoruo, who had been silent, suddenly said: "Let's go shopping, let's go shopping......" She looked at Fan Xian and was about to speak, and preemptively blocked: "The girl's family is sitting in the Qinglou and doesn't like talking, is it that your old man is sitting like talking?"
She smiled and propped her chin on the window tower: "Besides, I heard my brother say, you let that Sang girl preside over the business of Baoyue Tower, I haven't heard Miss Sang sing for more than half a year, if you don't go to Baoyue Tower, where can I listen?"
Wan'er saw that her sister-in-law agreed with her opinion, and her courage increased, and she begged Fan Xian with a shy face: "You know that I like to listen to Sang Wen's singing, I haven't seen anyone for more than half a year, and now I know that I was robbed to Baoyue Tower by the hateful little uncle, so you can take us there." β
Ruoruo continued: "Men can go shopping, why can't we go shopping?"
Fan Xian was speechless for a while, and looked at his sister a few times, and found that this girl seemed to be more and more sharp and bold now, and her thinking and thoughts were really different from other women in this world, just looking at the previous conversation, she was obviously more upright and bright than Wan'er, reasonable and powerful.
He smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, it's really defenseless, you know, I'm also the guy who loves the world the most, but...... Recently, Kyori has been restless, and I don't want those officials to have much to say. β
As soon as they heard him put on a serious business, Wan'er and Ruoruo stopped their mouths very sensibly.
Fan Xian turned his head to look out of the car, but he was stunned, and found that not far ahead, it was the front building of the Baoyue Building with a charming atmosphere in the extravagance, and he couldn't help but laugh and scolded Fuji Zijing who was driving the car: "You really came here? I only know how to coax my own heroine, but I don't know what I mean, do you still want to go to Donghai County to be an official? You must know that your family has told me several times." β
Fujizijing smiled innocently and didn't say anything, but Wan'er and Ruoruo covered their mouths and laughed.
The carriage of the Fan Mansion arrived at the Baoyue Tower, although I didn't know that it was Fan Xian who was sitting in the car, but those acquaintances of the Baoyue Mansion dared to be disrespectful...... They all limped down and waited, and when they saw that the legendary seriously ill Fan Tisi was in the car, Shi Qing'er couldn't help but be startled.
Seeing the legendary young bustard, the two noble ladies in the car were a little satisfied, but to their disappointment, Sang Wen was not in the building, saying that he was invited to sing by a house.
Without this excuse, of course Fan Xian would not allow them to go to Baoyuelou to make trouble, but he also wondered a little in his heart, now Sang Wen is already a zìyóu body, and he has secretly entered the supervision institute, so he doesn't need to look at the faces of other princes and nobles in Kyoto, how can he go to other people's mansions to sing songs?
The carriage drove away from Baoyue Tower, looking at the two girls who were a little depressed and disappointed, Fan Xian smiled and comforted: "Since you came out to play, you have to be happy...... Baozuki is not the most luxurious place in Kyoto, and the chefs here do not cook the best dishes. β
Before she finished speaking, Wan'er preemptively said: "Don't try to lie to us, the reputation of this Baoyue Building is really loud now, if you want to say that this family is not ...... Unless you say it's the palace. She grinned and said, "I don't mind going into the palace to see those girls, anyway, some days are gone...... But Xianggong, aren't you afraid that after Your Majesty sees you pretending to be sick in the palace, Long Yan will be furious?"
Fan Xian smiled and twisted the tip of her nose: "Don't curse me...... I'll take you to a place, it's definitely more comfortable than the palace, and the dishes made can't even compare to the imperial kitchen. β
The two girls were so surprised, thinking to themselves that Putian was not the king's land, how could there be a place more luxurious than the palace? Even if those salt merchants and imperial merchants had this kind of strength, they didn't have the courage to violate this kind of control.
............ The carriage drove out of the south gate of Kyoto, and when it reached the suburbs, pedestrians became scarce, and the secret agents of the Qinian group and the guards of the Fan Mansion who were secretly protecting Fan Xian had to show their figures awkwardly, and looked at each other a little inexplicably, and then the boss followed the carriage uncomfortably not far behind the carriage, and followed the carriage towards a quiet hill on the outskirts of Beijing.
The closer to the mountain, the mountain road is not narrow, it still maintains the system of the first-class official road of Qingguo, but the mountains and forests next to the road are more secluded, the beautiful scenery is coming, the yellow sè autumn grass is mixed with unwithered wildflowers, the white-skinned green branches and sparse leaves of the woods are distributed behind the grassland, and countless pieces of sè color with a very rich sense of layering, as if being painted by a painter, it is naturally scattered among the surrounding mountains and forests, which is extremely beautiful.
Lin Wan'er and Fan Ruoruo couldn't help but sigh, the scenery here is really excellent, but why haven't they heard anyone mention it in ordinary times? Even the outings in previous years don't seem to have been here, it stands to reason that this kind of good place should have been taken away by the palace or some powerful minister to repair the other mansion, why don't they know whose house it is? But looking at the width of the mountain road, you can guess that the mansion you are going to go to for a while must be lived by a very remarkable person.
It's just that seeing that Fan Xian is still playing tricks, the two daughters are a little unhappy, so they shut up and don't talk to him, just enjoy the surrounding scenery.
As the mountain road ended, the carriage turned through a forest, and a vast manor suddenly appeared in front of everyone, like a place where the gods lived, and suddenly pulled out the clouds of spells and appeared in front of the eyes of mortals. The buildings of the manor are not tall, but the distribution is extremely suitable, mixed with the dwarf wood and bluestone in the garden, which is in line with the principles of nature, although it is not flashy, but the details of the eaves and door buckles clearly reveal the noble atmosphere.
"How about the Imperial Palace?" Fan asked with a smile.
Lin Wan'er closed her mouth in surprise and said with a sneer: "...... Each has its own merits...... But it's not our Zhuangzi, what are you proud of?"
Fan Xian waved his hand and said, "The master here has said that he will give it to me in the future, but I don't want to move here because I think it's not good here." β
At this time, even Ruoruo was taken aback, and said in surprise: "What's wrong with this?"
"There are too many women. Fan Xianzheng said: "I don't know how many beautiful women are hidden in this Zhuangzi. β
............ Ignoring the consternation of the two girls beside him, the carriage stopped under the command of Fan Xian, he got out of the car under the gaze of the second girl, took out the sign of the Tisi on his waist, and stretched out into the grass next to him very abruptly.
In the grass, like a trick, a person appeared, the man was wearing very ordinary clothes, just like a common woodcutter in the mountains, this woodcutter carefully checked the waist card, and stared at Fan Xian for a long time, before he was very embarrassed and said: "My lord, this is a dead rule, please forgive me." β
"I don't blame you. Fan Xian smiled and said, "In the car are my daughter-in-law and sister." β
The woodcutter did not dare to answer anything, and respectfully retreated, looking for another inconspicuous hiding place.
The carriage started again, and went along the mountain road to the manor, and it was extremely quiet along the way, but at this time, the two girls in the carriage could guess that this road must be no worse than the guarded palace of the palace, and it could even be said that it was a killing machine step by step, even if a small army wanted to attack it, I was afraid that it would be defeated.
Of course, these two girls Bing Xue were smart, and at this time they finally guessed who the owner of this mountain villa was.
To be able to have a higher level of enjoyment than the Imperial Palace, to be able to live in such a garden, to be able to have such a strict defense, who else but the master of the Supervision Yuan?
At the back of the carriage, the two teams that had been in charge of protecting the carriage also stopped their progress very wisely, squatted down helplessly, and began to herd the sheep.
Su Wenmao, the leader of the Qi Nian group, nodded to the head of the guards of the Fan Mansion over there.
The head of the guard also returned the salute with some embarrassment.
"Be content. Su Wenmao smiled and said to his colleagues on the other side of the road: "People like us can be so close to the courtyard of the dean...... It's a blessing for Lord Tottis. β
"That's it. The head of the guard glanced with some envy at the beautiful manor in the distance.
Then sit on both sides of the grass and start chewing the grass roots, empty, bored, looking at the sky, yawning.
............ In the beautiful manor lived Chen Pingping, the old cripple with the most power in the entire Qingguo except for the emperor XiΓ . Unlike ordinary civil and military officials, Chen Pingping's status in the Qingguo court is too special, and she has always refused to go to court because she is sick, so she has lived in the garden outside the city for a long time, and the family in Beijing has basically not lived much.
Today, Fan Xian, a little pretending to be sick, came to see Chen Pingping, an old pretending to be sick, after all, he was a person who had been here a few times, so he was also familiar with the way, and went directly to the gate of the garden.
He looked at the two carriages parked outside the door, and couldn't help frowning, he never thought that there would be guests in the garden today, with Chen Pingping's lonely and cold feelings, and the evil reputation of the Supervision Yuan, ordinary courtiers would definitely not come to drink tea - who is the guest who came today?
Wan'er got out of the car behind him, and after just one glance, she saw the mark of the first carriage, and said with a smile: "Royal people." β
Fan Xian was slightly stunned.
The old family member at the gate of Chen Yuan had already flown down the steps to greet him, he knew that the young Lord Fan in front of him was different from all the officials in the world, he was the most valued junior of his own dean, and he was the successor of the dean, so he naturally didn't dare to take the pie, and at the same time said in a very polite and extremely low voice: "It's Lord Xiao Qin of the Prince and the Privy Council." β
Fan Xian tilted his head and scratched the back of his neck that was a little itchy, the eldest prince and Xiao Qin? He knew that Lord Xiao Qin was also discussing matters under the door now, and he was already an important minister who had entered the center of the imperial court, and the most important thing was that there was Lao Qin above Xiao Qin, the former president of the Military Yuan, and now the Privy Council is making General Lao Qin, a family of cattle people, has a deep influence in the military of Qingguo. The eldest prince has been fighting in the west for several years, and he has a very close relationship with the Qin family, so what did these two people do when they came to Chen Pingping's mansion?
Fan Xian stood at the foot of the stone steps, not in a hurry to enter, but wondering if the other party's visit would have something to do with him, although the relationship between the military and the Supervision Yuan has always been very harmonious, but this matter is still a little strange. He smiled, and didn't care that his outing was known by the court, so he took his wife and sister to the garden, he wanted to see what kind of thoughts this big prince had.
After passing through the extremely beautiful and luxuriously decorated garden pavilion, I finally came to the main hall where Chen Pingping entertained guests. Without waiting for anyone to report, Fan Xian broke in in stride, not thinking about what to say, but when he looked at the Sangwen girl in the corner of the hall who was singing with anxiety on her face, she couldn't help laughing and said: "I guessed that you are the only one in the whole of Kyoto who dares to force the Lasang girl to sing." β
It turned out that Sang Wen, who was not in Baoyue Tower, was actually in Chen Yuan!
Sang Wen is the shopkeeper of Baoyue Building, and she is a new recruit of the Supervision Yuan, Chen Pingping pulled her to sing a song, of course, it was just a matter of words.
Laughter echoed in the hall, Chen Pingping, who was sitting on the main seat, raised her eyes with a smile, looking at the three young men and women who came unexpectedly, there was a trace of warmth in her eyes, and her thin hands gently stroked the gray wool blanket on her legs that had not changed for many years, and scolded with a smile: "Don't you think I have a lot of women here? Why are you here today? Come on, and bring your wife and sister, are you afraid that I will call some women to eat you raw?"
The two young men sitting in the guest seat were slightly startled, turned their heads to look in the direction of the entrance of the hall, and couldn't help but be stunned for a while, but Sang Wen stopped the song, stood up with a smile on his face, and saluted Fan Xian and the two girls.
After a while, one of the young men who was dressed in civilian clothes, but still couldn't stop showing the unique temperament of a soldier, stood up, first saluted Wan'er behind Fan Xian very politely, and then greeted Fan Ruoruo gently, and then said to Fan Xian with a smile on his face: "Little Fan, I am glad to meet." β
Fan Xian had seen Qin Heng, knew that the other party's family background was excellent, and he was extremely appreciated by His Majesty, he was a new star in the Qingguo court, and his future was limitless, so he bowed his hand and said, "I've seen Lord Xiao Qin." β
Although Qin Heng's rank is still above Fan Xian, the two sides know each other's strength and status, so there is no need to play those tricks. Qin Hengwen smiled and said, "I came to visit the dean today, but I didn't expect to see Lord Tisi, Qin's luck is really good." β
Fan Xian saw that his smile didn't seem to be fake, and he felt comfortable in his heart, so he responded: "Don't say a lie about getting close to him after rΓ¬, since you have met it today, you naturally have to drink a few cups." β
Qin Heng laughed and said: "Fan Tisi is really a wonderful person, he acted unexpectedly, he never mentioned the matter of calling himself sick, but he wanted to drink to the fullest, so that I couldn't open my mouth if I wanted to make a few jokes." β
Fan Xian glanced at Chen Pingping, who was sitting in the main seat, and said with a wry smile: "Of course, as juniors, we have to see whether the host's family is reluctant to take good wine and entertain guests." β
Chen Pingping opened her mouth and scolded: "You are richer than the old man!"
Qin Heng's face remained unchanged, smiling slightly, but he was shocked with a sigh in his heart. The courtiers always thought that Fan Xian could be so beautiful in the Supervision Yuan, mainly because of His Majesty's appreciation and advanced cultivation, but at this time, seeing Fan Xian talking to Dean Chen, who everyone feared, it was so "not big or small", and Dean Chen's response was so natural, he felt a little strange, it seems that the relationship between Dean Chen and this Fan Tisi ...... Sure enough, it's extraordinary!
His Majesty's appreciation is important, but it is really necessary to be able to control the Supervisory Yuan...... The most important thing is still Chen Pingping's attitude, and it was only at this time that Qin Heng really realized that the young man in front of him, called Fan Xian, would one day really control the Supervision Yuan in his hands, so the military ...... The speed of befriending this person must be accelerated, and it is no longer just about saying a few good words for Fan Xian under the door, and then passing on goodwill to Fan Fu through the mouths of others.
However, after a few words of dialogue, a lot of useful information has been exchanged in the field, and Fan Xian also understands that Chen Pingping is taking this opportunity to express his most authentic attitude to the military and strengthen his bargaining chips.
The two of them whispered a few more words, and Fan Xian seemed to react, and turned around to salute the eldest prince who was sitting on the side.
It stands to reason that his behavior is really a bit rude, but everyone in the hall knows that he had an awkward encounter with the eldest prince when he first met, and Qin Heng is good friends with the eldest prince, so he doesn't care much about this matter, as for Chen Pingping...... He didn't care about court etiquette or anything like that.
Just when Fan Xian thought that the eldest prince would be angry, he turned his head to look, but he almost got angry, only to see that his wife was sitting beside the eldest prince obediently, and said something to the eldest prince with a smile - mother, although he knew that Wan'er had been raised in Ning Cairen's palace since she was a child, it was equivalent to saying that the eldest prince watched her grow up, and the two were like biological brothers and sisters, but looking at this scene, Fan Xian was still unhappy with the boss.
What's even more unpleasant is that even Ruoruo actually sat down and listened to the eldest prince with relish!
Fan Xian pricked up his ears and listened to two sentences, only to know that the eldest prince was telling the story of the western conquest and the Hu people's horse competition. Qingren is good at martial arts, the eldest prince has been on the side for many years, and he is a folk hero and idol, even Wan'er and Ruoruo can't get rid of the vulgar.
Fan Xian felt a little bitter in his heart, his mouth was a little bitter, and he thought about the master...... Master...... The master is a pacifist, otherwise I will go to fight a few battles and let you little girls see your majesty. He was unhappy in his heart, but there was no reaction on his face, but he smiled, and bowed to the eldest prince very naturally, and said: "Xiaguan Fan Xian, I have seen His Royal Highness...... Oh, yes and the Prince. β
When the eldest prince saw Fan Xian, he was already a little depressed, and when he heard his tone, he couldn't help but say, "I said Fan Xian...... Did this king offend you somewhere? When you meet, if you don't stab this king a few words, you won't be happy in your heart?" he turned his head to Lin Wan'er and said, "Chen'er, you married this husband...... It's really not good. β
Lin Wan'er couldn't be more familiar with the eldest prince, and when she saw that he said that he was a father-in-law, where was she willing to follow, she directly took a fruit from the table and stuffed it into his mouth, and said, "How can you talk about your brother-in-law like this when you meet?"
Fan Xian smiled, the word brother-in-law is more good, he went to sit under Ruoruo, and Chen Yuan's subordinates had already sent hot towels and tea. Although he knew that the eldest prince and Qin Heng must have something important to do when they came to find the old cripple, he stayed in the hall with a dead face, and he didn't give the other party a chance to speak naturally.
Lin Wan'er knew that outside of Kyoto, the mission was fighting with the Western Expeditionary Army, and this matter was actually Fan Xian's in the final analysis, but she also knew the reason why Fan Xian did this, but now that there was a second prince as a target, Fan Xian didn't need to offend a big prince again, and she didn't want to watch the conflict between her father-in-law and the dearest eldest brother, so she subconsciously pulled the two to talk, wanting to ease the relationship between the two.
Everyone knows this move, it's just a man, there will always be a time when he can't see through it, so the eldest prince looks at his nose and nose, and ignores it, but Fan Xian just smiled and talked to Qin Heng, asking the other party how the old General Qin is in health and when he will take time to visit the mansion.
Chen Pingping seemed to be asleep, half-lying in a wheelchair, which is strange to say, even in his own luxurious home, he still insisted on sitting in a wheelchair instead of a more comfortable couch. Seeing this situation, Lin Wan'er had no choice but to sigh, but Ruoruo laughed on the side, a big prince who can fight well, a young minister who is popular in the court, is actually as vindictive as two little boys, this scene is really a bit funny.
In the end, even Qin Heng felt that he couldn't talk to Fan Xian anymore, and the eldest prince suddenly said coldly: "I heard that Fan Tisi has been seriously ill in bed recently, and he can't go to the court, and even the Metropolitan Procuratorate can't defend himself, I don't want to be so happy today......
Fan Xian yawned and said, "Ming rΓ¬ will go to the court, Ming rΓ¬, Ming rΓ¬." β
Qin Heng was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, could it be that you don't play sick and escape, then there will be a lively scene in the court tomorrow...... It's just that...... I was dragged to Chen Yuan by His Royal Highness, and the thing I wanted to talk about was not easy to say in front of you Fan Xian.
He didn't speak well, but the eldest prince was fair and ruthless, and said directly to Chen Pingping very respectfully: "Uncle, the matter of the second child, you can just send a word......" He glanced at Fan Xian and continued: "I didn't pay attention to the things in the court, but those rumors in Beijing are too ridiculous, and there are really a few officials under the second child who are really talented, so it will be a loss for the court." β
Qin Heng thought to himself that you were a bachelor, and he was about to refute Fan Tisi's face in front of Fan Tisi, but when the matter came to an end, he only stubbornly smiled bitterly: "Yes, Lord Dean, Your Majesty has been refusing to speak, if you don't come forward again, if things continue to make trouble, the face of the court will not look good." β
Fan Xian smiled, these two are really above board, the eldest prince and Qin Heng's intentions are very clear, the second prince's faction has been overwhelmed by the Supervision Yuan, and it is not good to come forward in person, so he has to beg his eldest brother to come forward, and he pulled the Qin family in the Privy Council, the other party directly found Chen Pingping It is really an excellent calculation, this is not digging his own corner, but smoking the firewood under his own pot - if Chen Pingping really asked Fan Xian to stop, he had no choice but to respond.
However, the benefits that should have been obtained, the Kyoto Prefecture Yin was withdrawn, and the officials of the Second Prince faction in the Six Ministries also fell into greater or lesser mold, Fan Xian didn't care much about these, but he cared very much about the previous title of the eldest prince.
He called Chen Pingping his uncle!
No matter how unfathomable Chen Pingping's strength is, no matter how close he is to His Majesty, the dignified prince still calls himself an uncle, and he is still at odds with etiquette, and he is afraid that he will be scared to death if he says it, who is your uncle? He is King Jing, not a minister.
When he was thinking, Chen Pingping had already opened his somewhat godless eyes, coughed lightly twice, and said: "I'll talk about the second child later, I'll talk about it......" He pointed to Lin Wan'er and Ruoruo, coughed and said, "Cough...... Cough...... Why don't you two girls say hello to your master's house when you come to my garden for the first time?"
In fact, there are few people who are not afraid of Chen Pingping, especially in many legends and stories, Chen Pingping was successfully portrayed as a bad night devil, although the identities of Lin Wan'er and Fan Ruoruo are noble, but in the face of the leaders of the dark forces of Qingguo, there is still some fear from the heart, so as soon as they entered the hall, they quickly sat down next to the eldest prince.
At this time, listening to the old man's mouth, as a last resort, Lin Wan'er and Ruo Ruocai stood up with a bitter face, walked in front of Chen Pingping, and gave a blessing and a junior salute.
Chen Pingping laughed and said, "What are you afraid of? You are a mother and a father alone...... It's not much better than me. "This is naturally the eldest princess and the old JiΔn slick Fan Shangshu. He then said to the eldest prince: "The matter you said, since the main master has already come, you can tell him directly...... He can call the shots. The county lord's mother, Miss Fan, help the old guy push the wheelchair, and the old man will take you to see the treasures of Chen Yuan. β
The second daughter and Sang Wen pushed the old cripple's wheelchair and left the hall, leaving only the three of Fan Xian's eldest prince Qin Heng looking at each other, thinking that this old guy was too inauthentic to do things, leaving his own family battlefield to the younger generations to fight, while he took the three beautiful women to go to the garden.
