Chapter 61: Little in the Boots
Fan Xian looked at the little girl and wanted to run away, pulled Hongcheng's sleeve, and was about to play with the second son over the wall, but at this moment, a subordinate didn't know where to get out, and saluted the two with a bitter face and said: "Lord Shizi, the prince knows that you came out, let you go to see him." ”
Hearing this, Li Hongcheng, the prince of the world, gasped, extremely distressed and regretted, but he was helpless, so he went first, but before leaving, he looked at Fan Xian twice, and smiled bitterly, the feelings in his heart were indescribably complicated.
Fan Xian naturally understood that this prince was still resentful of breaking his marriage with Ruoruo, but he didn't care about these things, so he had to shake his head.
Under the stone steps outside the courtyard, only he and Roujia were left. Fan Xian knew that he couldn't run anymore, smiled gently, looked at Hongcheng's figure and said, "How did your brother become like this now, how did he become like this." ”
Rou Jia saw him open his mouth to talk to himself, his little face was full of irrepressible joy, and he stammered slightly: "...... Close...... It's been a long time...... Cursing people every day...... It's getting more and more like Daddy. ”
Fan Xian was stunned, thinking that it was true, looking at Shizi through the crack in the door, he didn't look down on him, but he saw that he was different from the people in the general power field of tolerance and let go, this kind of quality is naturally inherited by King Jing, the so-called struggle, can win and lose, this is the right reason.
He gestured and asked the county lord to go first.
Rou Jia pulled the skirt under her big red jacket, lowered her head slightly, and walked slowly in front.
Fan Xian followed behind her, walking as she looked at the girl who was gradually spitting out the stamens, looking at the soft silk on her sideburns in the wind, and her heart moved slightly.
"Sister Roujia, has there been anything new in the girls' school recently?"
"Brother Xian, no. ”
"Sister Roujia......"
"Brother Idle ......"
The two of them talked without a match, Roujia's sister shouted more and more smoothly, and the little girl's idle brother never stopped, just walked slowly to the front of the house, all the way through the cold garden, through the cold path, through the pavilion with residual snow, and the rockery with water.
The county lord of Roujia walked with his head bowed and replied in a low voice, but he couldn't help but look back from time to time, and turned his head as if frightened.
Fan Xian sighed in his heart, sped up a few steps, walked to her side, and walked side by side with her.
Lord Roujia felt the preservation of the young man beside him, and was taken aback, and his whole walking posture stiffened, and his fingers pinching the skirt were slightly forced.
Fan Xian smiled and said: "This world is really wonderful, how could I have thought that you are my cousin at that time, and this idle brother shouted is appropriate." ”
............ As soon as these words came out, the county lord of Roujia was flustered for a while, and a few blushes poured out of his little face, and he no longer spoke, just blindly silent. This pair of cousins and sisters know very well, what Fan Xian means by this - it is written in Qinglu clearly, it seems that they have this relationship, and they don't care if Fan Xian has that mind, but ...... It's impossible.
Since the first time the lord of Roujia saw Fan Xian at the age of twelve, the youngest daughter's thoughts were all on the other party's body, whether it was under the grape trellis of the palace, in the autumn grass garden of the Fan Mansion, or in the Cangshan Courtyard, she always liked to look at Fan Xian.
Although she didn't dare to ask her father, she always had the possibility of having a special case of two wives in the future, but who knew that there was such a big news in Kyoto after rì - Brother Xian is his own cousin!
From that point on, Rou Jia knew that this matter was impossible, but how could the two-year love be diluted once, and now after seeing his favorite idle brother, he was in a panic again, and when he heard Fan Xian say this, he knew that the other party was reminding himself.
But after all, the county lord of Roujia was a little girl who was only fourteen years old, and listening to Fan Xian's gentle but stern reminder, she didn't turn her head and glare at him resentfully like ordinary Kyoto powerful women, nor did she snort coldly...... I just buried my head lower, and I refused to speak.
A crystal clear tear fell from under her long eyelashes and dripped onto the bluestone slab at her feet.
Fan Xian was dumbfounded, and when he saw the girl crying, he didn't know what to do.
Rou Jia walked forward again, and Fan Xian hurriedly followed.
All the way, Roujia lowered her head and cried, but she bit her lip stubbornly, and refused to make some sounds.
Fan Xian was pitiful, loving and angry, and when he didn't know how to explain it, he suddenly found that Rou Jia stopped and looked back at himself very seriously.
Fan smiled and stretched out his fingers, knocking tears off the little girl's face.
Rou Jia was still as supple as in previous years, looked at Fan Xian fixedly, ate Ai Ai and said, "Brother Xian, please do something." ”
"What's the matter? Fan Xian said seriously.
"I know...... Ruoruo's marriage with her brother was broken by you. Rou Jia lowered her head, her fingers twisted the skirt, and the corner of the pale pink skirt twisted into countless wrinkles of trouble.
Fan Xian was stunned, but he didn't expect this little girl's family to see this matter so clearly: "What?"
Rou Jia is a blessing, her voice is soft, and her childish voice still exists: "Rì in the harem must give Rou Jia a marriage...... If Roujia is not happy, please ask Brother Xian to bother more. ”
The marriage between the magnates in Kyoto involved too many political transactions, Fan Xian's marriage, Fan Ruoruo's unfinished marriage, all of them, as the county lord of Roujia, her marriage was naturally arranged by the nobles in the palace, and even the queen mother herself.
Fan Xian opened his mouth wide, but after a while, he nodded dejectedly, knowing that he was forced to pick up an extremely heavy burden again, this world is really weird, everyone else is a matchmaker, but only himself, as if he has become a strong man who breaks the marriage.
After Rou Jia said this, she saw him nodding again, as if she had used up all the courage she had mustered all the way before, and the whole person suddenly became sad again, looked at him deeply, turned her head and lifted her skirt, and walked towards Qianfu at a faster pace, ignoring Fan Xian again.
Fan Xian touched the back of his head and looked at the figure of the county lord of Roujia, looked at her with her head down, and looked at her still crying silently, the feeling in his heart was really uncomfortable, thinking that this little girl's family was really more troublesome than the other.
——————————————————— the long corridor behind the Taiji Hall of the Imperial Palace, facing the high palace wall behind and the winter trees under the palace wall. The palace is heavily guarded, especially close to the inner palace, and it is strictly forbidden for anyone to make noise, and it is impossible for anyone to make any too presumptuous actions here.
But those palace maids and eunuchs who were walking around, when they saw the young official under the corridor who was stretching his waist and doing leg presses, no one dared to step forward to scold, and no one dared to remind anything.
It is impossible for young officials to enter the inner palace, and if there is, then only one person, and only him, dares to be so chic and comfortable in the palace.
Under the corridor, the young official withdrew his legs pressed against the big column, looked back at the middle-aged eunuch with an awkward face, wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and scolded: "Laugh at a fart! This palace is so big, naturally your legs will be sore, and I don't know how you guys are so good at leg and foot skills." ”
This young official is naturally Fan Xian, he is the emperor's illegitimate son, the world knows, plus the holy favor over the years, the relationship with the nobles and the big eunuchs in the palace is also harmonious, and he once raised an injury in the palace for a month, so the palace maids and eunuchs are used to his storage in the palace.
And only he has the courage to do a broadcast in the inner palace.
Today is to accompany Wan'er back to the palace, as soon as she enters the palace, Wan'er was left by the queen mother's side, and refused to let go, saying that she wanted to leave the most painful granddaughter for the night, Fan Xian had no choice but to take all kinds of gifts, to the palaces, this time after returning to Beijing, I walked along, and now I came again, it was really a little boring, so I took a blank seat and rested under the corridor behind the Taiji Palace.
The eunuch who accompanied him and held a large number of gift boxes was Dai's father-in-law, and when he heard Fan Xian scolding him, he was not surprised but rejoiced, and said with a smile: "Lord Xiao Fan is a master of the nine grades, where can we compare with these minions?"
Dai Gonggong was also a very favored one back then, although he was a person in the palace of Shuguifei, he was doing the important messengers to the various mansions, but later because of the relationship between his nephew and the struggle between Fan Xian and the second prince, he let go of his idle post, and later because of the assassination of the Hanging Temple, he was driven to the side game, if it took another two years, I was afraid that he would die without a straw mat.
Thanks to Fan Xian for constantly saying good things for him, the emperor still remembered that he served well back then, so he spared his life and let him go back to the inner palace to do some idle work.
For Dai's father-in-law, Fan Xian is his savior, even half of his master, a more important person than Concubine Shu, who dares not to serve thoughtfully.
Fan Xian's boots were hot, and he didn't pull them all up, so he walked towards the end of the corridor.
Father-in-law Dai glanced at his feet, and said in embarrassment: "My lord, I still pay attention to it in the palace." ”
Fan Xian glanced at him, and was about to laugh a few more words, when he suddenly saw a few eunuchs walking at the end of the corridor, among them, the first one was young, his face was a little familiar, his face was extremely high, and he had an arrogant taste, and several little eunuchs behind him followed half-bent, looking like a slave of a slave.
"It's Father-in-law Xiaohong. Dai Gonggong calmed down and reminded behind Fan Xian.
Fan Xian frowned slightly, didn't say anything, and went straight over.
The people on both sides faced each other in the middle of the corridor, and Fan Xianqing clearly looked at the few green pimples on the face of the arrogant young eunuch, and did not speak, just stood in place, looking at each other indifferently.
Hong Zhu was stunned for a moment, he knew that Fan Xian was waiting for him to salute...... It's just that he is now the chief eunuch of the East Palace, and His Majesty has occasionally asked him to go to the imperial study to help with things recently, which is more beautiful than when he was holding a book in the imperial study, who in this palace does not respect him? Even if he enters the palace, he is polite to himself, except for Shu Daxue, no minister dares to wait for him to salute first.
He knew Fan Xian, of course he knew that Fan Xian was not an ordinary minister, but looking at Fan Xian's indifference mixed with disdain, his face turned red, and he refused to bow his head first.
The double convenience stalemate is here.
The three or four little eunuchs who followed Hong Zhu were too low, but they had never seen Fan Xian's face at all, how did they know that this young official was the powerful Xiao Fan, looking at this scene, he was anxious to stand up for Xiao Hong's father-in-law, and said sharply: "This adult, why is he walking around in the palace forbidden land?"
Father-in-law Dai hid behind Fan Xian and snickered, he no longer has the status he had back then, he was not good at being bullied by Hong Zhu and others in the palace, at this time, seeing that the idiots on the other side wanted to offend Fan Xian, he was indescribably happy in his heart, and he was about to say something, but was stopped by Fan Xian waving his hand.
Fan Xian smiled at the few little eunuchs behind Hong Zhu, and said funny: "It hasn't been long since I entered the palace, right? There are not many people in this palace who don't know this official...... The official didn't walk around, but was ordered to go to Shufang Palace to see him. ”
Sure enough, it was a few little eunuchs who had not been in the palace for a long time, but they didn't hear the meaning of these words, and straightened their necks and said: "What a big courage, where is Shufang Palace? Why do you stay in this corridor? Be careful Xiaohong Gonggong called the guards to beat you out!"
He was raising his voice for his master, but how did he know that he was causing trouble for his master, and sure enough, Hong Zhu saw that the smile on Fan Xian's face became more and more gentle, and his face immediately changed, he was shocked, frightened and annoyed, and scolded the little eunuchs twice, and then slowly saluted Fan Xian and said, "The slave has seen Master Xiao Fan." ”
As soon as the four words of Lord Xiao Fan came out, the little eunuchs immediately knew...... Looking at Fan Xian with a frightened face, he quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.
Fan Xian didn't bother to look at the little eunuchs, he just stared at Hong Zhu's face, and said sarcastically: "My father Fan Shangshu, so the world calls me Lord Xiao Fan, you slave, what kind of little Hong Gonggong is it? Hong Gonggong knew this and carefully skinned you!"
Hong Zhu's face was full of fear and cruelty, staring at Fan Xian with hatred and hatred, not saying a word.
"Palm your mouth. Fan Xian frowned and said.
Hong Zhu gritted his teeth and said: "The slave is the person from the East Palace, and Lord Xiao Fan is a courtier, so he can't control the palace, right?"
Fan Xian didn't speak, just looked at him coldly.
Forced by those two eyes, Hong Zhu had no choice but to gently slap himself in the face.
This slap fell, and Grandpa Dai behind Fan Xian was happy, ready to publicize it in the palace at night, but several little eunuchs behind Hong Zhu were scared half to death, they all knew the status of Grandpa Xiao Hong in the palace, where did they know that it was just a word from Master Xiao Fan, and Grandpa Xiao Hong could only slap his mouth.
Seemingly...... This Xiao Hong's father-in-law is indeed not as powerful as Xiao Fan.
Fan Xian turned sideways to the side, blocking Dai's father-in-law's view, and took advantage of the opportunity of the few eunuchs kneeling on the ground to glance at Hong Zhu.
Hong Zhu saw it clearly, but there was a bitterness in his eyes, indicating that he really couldn't find a convenient place to speak at this time.
Fan Xian nodded and said indifferently: "Get out." ”
So Hong Zhu flicked his sleeves, annoyed and ashamed, and took a few little eunuchs to the other end of the corridor.
Looking at this scene, Father-in-law Dai smiled at Fan Xian and said: "Let this dog slave be arrogant again, relying on the emperor and the queen to like him, and be blind in the palace." ”
Fan Xian smiled: "It's really not good to be blind in this palace, stay for a while and go to Shufang Palace, I still have to pay attention to my appearance." ”
Without waiting for Father-in-law Dai to say anything more righteous and awe-inspiring, he squatted down, pulled up the boots under his feet, and stuffed the paper under the boots into his boots.
