Chapter 35: Come Home With Me
What kind of person is Fan Sizhe?
In fact, he is just a very common Kyoto boy with an excellent family background, so he has always been a very famous little bully in Kyoto. It was the twelve-year-old boy who stared at Fan Xian when he first entered Kyoto, with a disgusting look on his face. Of course, he is also an earl's heir with some brains who knows how to bind him. At the same time, he is also a little boy who often exudes innocence and competitiveness on the mahjong table, and he is also a genius who often holds the account book and flips through it, giving birth to a kind of fanatical interest that is difficult for him to imagine.
A person will have many faces, Fan Sizhe, as a fourteen-year-old powerful young man in Kyoto, is no exception, naïve him, fanatical is him, arrogant is him, yīn ruthless is also him, just take any side to look at him, it will be biased.
His father is a popular man in the current dynasty, Hubu Shangshu Si Nanbo Fan Jian, his nǎinǎi is the nǎi mother of today's majesty, his biological mother is a sister to the Yigui concubine in the palace, and his sister Fan Ruoruo is the most famous talented woman in Beijing, and she is about to marry Li Hongcheng, the son of King Jing.
And his elder brother, the brother who was vaguely an enemy at the beginning, but actually got along quite happily, was a generation of poets, the most favored young courtier of the saint, the powerful Tisi of the Supervision Yuan, the idol in the minds of the world's scholars, the one who married the county lord and wanted to take over the inner library, there was a seat in the imperial study, and he was all the delicate sons of the sky, so red that he had turned purple, and his name seemed to be inlaid with a gold-edged figure that people did not dare to look at directly.
...... Yes, his good brother is Fan Xian, the little Fan adult.
Such a family background, since the founding of Qingguo, does not seem to have appeared, such a hot environment, what kind of teenager will be created?
Before Fan Xian entered Beijing, Fan Sizhen was already a well-known evil boy in Kyoto, but he was still young at that time and had not yet found his own direction in life, so it was nothing more than eating white food, grabbing some things, running the long street, and pretending to be a little bully, and after all, Ruoruo was in charge of the family law, and he didn't make any big trouble, but this kind of life had already planted the seeds of audacity in his bones.
And after Fan Xian entered Beijing, on the one hand, the strong brother and sister joined forces to rectify Fan Sizhe's honesty, on the other hand, the pressure of being oppressed by his father and mother to study and enter the government was weakened by the arrival of Fan Xian, and Fan Xian seemed to have opened a completely different window for his younger brother from the children of ordinary elites.
Fan Sizhen finally understood what he liked to do, what he should do in the future, his future was to become the mistress of the Ye family back then, the kind of rich businessman who rivaled the country, and brought out all his genius minds in the account books and business.
As he grew older, his firm life goals, genius calculating mind, and the domineering spirit he had always possessed were combined to achieve today's bold and reckless Fan Sizhe.
Since you want to do business, what is the most profitable thing to do? Naturally, it is the four words of eating and drinking, men and women, although the bookstore is gradually expanding to the whole world under the care of the young man and the seven-leaf shopkeeper of Qingyutang, but first, the income from selling books is not large, and secondly, this bookstore is always more or less imprinted with the traces of Fan Xian, although Fan Sizhen does not care about this, but he cares more about what kind of career he can make.
And at this time, the third highness in the palace, his cousin was not willing to listen to Taifu's lectures every day, and with a head that was much more mature than his peers, he began to discuss with Fan Sizhen about some movements in Kyoto.
One is fourteen years old, the other is only eight years old, such a strange combination, and it has created the Baoyue Building that is now popular in Kyoto.
Because the background of these two little boys is too special, this seemingly naïve combination has brought unexpected results, and the resistance of the government has naturally become a help. And when Fan Sizhen was "pleasantly surprised" to find that the prince Li Hongcheng had a very close connection with the Qinglou business on the other side of the Liujing River, he unceremoniously "borrowed" Yuan Meng, a red man, from Li Hongcheng.
With Fan Sizhe's business vision, Yuan Meng's understanding of the industry, the power of the three princes, and the domineering and vicious methods of these two thick boys who don't know the sky, in less than two or three months, Baoyuelou swept away the entire Kyoto industry, as for how many people died in this process, and how many good women were innocent, but it was not in his consideration at all.
His surname is Fan Mingsizhe, although he is young, he is still a powerful person, as a powerful person, who cares about the life and death of the flesh and blood on the knife board? And the young man is arrogant, and he has no scruples in acting, this is exactly the aspect that Fan Xian was most worried about when he talked to Wan'er that night.
However, Fan Sizhen was still afraid, so the real origin of Baoyue Tower was in the month after Fan Xian was ordered to send an envoy to Northern Qi, a few months have passed, Baoyue Tower has been firmly rooted on the ground in Kyoto, Fan Sizhe's deep worries are less, thinking that even if his brother knows that he is doing business in Jì Courtyard in the future, it is nothing.
But what he never expected was that his brother had been envoy to Northern Qi for half a year, and the situation in the court had undergone such a serious change!
When he was a day, his old Fan family was still close to the Jingwang family, and he was the second prince party in the eyes of the court officials, so Fan Sizhen didn't think that there was anything wrong with his relationship with Li Hongcheng, the future brother-in-law, and there was any problem with the third prince, the prince who was brought up by the second highness, but since Fan Xian returned to Beijing, Fan Sizhen was stunned that his brother seemed to be on the bar with the second prince!
As the son of a minister, Fan Sizhen didn't think that his evil deeds in Beijing would make his brother angry, but his keen sense of politics made him know that if his brother knew that he was too close to that side, there would definitely be problems.
So since September, he began to tell Baoyuelou's subordinates to behave in a low-key manner, and he was also in a hurry to get out of this business, so he has been busy recently, but I don't know what the third "little ghost clever" is meant, he has been hiding in the palace, and he has dragged things out to this day!
―――――――――――――――――――――――――― Fan Sizhen yīn looked at Deng Ziyue in front of him uncertainly, he had seen this official of the Supervision Yuan in the mansion, and knew that it was Fan Xian's personal leader, but for a moment, he dispelled the idea of killing people, because he was the owner of Baoyue Building, his brother would find out one day, and he really moved this person, I was afraid that he would be very miserable.
"Go back, I'll explain this matter to him myself. ”
Fan Sizhe's slightly chubby cheeks trembled twice, thinking that he was still scared in his heart, he waved his hand to stop the thoughts of those thugs behind him who wanted to rush off the field.
Deng Ziyue glanced at him, bowed deeply, and left the room.
The third prince scolded in a childish voice: "Just let him go? How can I walk in the capital in the future? All the courtiers dare to bully me!"
Fan Sizhen sighed secretly in his heart, sat down unwillingly, subconsciously rubbed the smooth table top of the Qingzhou stone table with his palm, glanced at the girl named Shi Qing'er, and suddenly said, "Where is Yan'er?"
Shi Qing'er was already confused by the scene in front of her, thinking to herself how could the big proprietor be afraid of the officials of the District Supervision Yuan? Is she not at the level enough, she doesn't know the complicated background of this matter at all, and said with a forced smile: "Yan'er should rest in the back cabinet, do you want to see her at this time?"
Fourteen-year-old Fan Sizhe, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes that only adults should have, made a decision after a while, and said with a heavy face: "It's okay, it's the same as before." ”
He was very quick to think in his heart, how to deal with the endgame, if his father knew about it, he would definitely kill himself, of course his mother hurt himself, and he could even say that the Yigui concubine in the palace came out to intercede with his brother...... But his brother, alas, didn't even give the eldest princess face, how could he be moved by Concubine Yi?
His heart suddenly moved, his face was full of joy, it seemed that he still had to ask his sister and sister-in-law, as long as these two people spoke, probably his brother would not punish him too harshly.
"I had to leave beforehand. Fan Sizhen stared at the third prince coldly, knowing that there must be something strange in this matter, but although he was young, he was a strong man who was willing to break his wrist, and said coldly: "I won't come to this building in the future, I won't pay attention to the benefits, but you can figure it out for me within three months." ”
The third prince scratched his head and grinned: "With the second brother and your future brother-in-law to support you, what are you afraid of?"
Fan Sizhi ignored him, his eyes were ruthless, and he instructed Shi Qing'er: "The 10,000 taels of silver tickets, you can send them to the other party immediately! ”
Shi Qing'er responded with a winch, finally realizing that she had offended someone she shouldn't have offended last night.
............ In the private room on the third floor of Baoyue Building against the lake, Fan Xian's eyes were still looking at the boats, birds, and people on the lake, his fingers were gently knocking on the table, his face was calm, calculating this matter, and he had already sorted out all the clues without spending any money.
Since the bosses of this jì courtyard are Si Zhe and the third child, then the Kyoto Prefecture will naturally not investigate, and the supervision institute will not come to embarrass anything in front of him, maybe those people are still suspecting that the real boss of this jì courtyard is himself, where dare to come to make a small report in front of him, and it is too late to help conceal it! It is also a shame that Mu Tie is bold, so he dares to say two sentences in front of himself.
He smiled bitterly, drank all the residual wine in the cup, Sizhe's recent deeds were a little weird, he was a brother, he really cared too little, and he reprimanded Ruoruo and Wan'er for no reason, but where did he think that in this world of male superiority and inferiority, Fan Sizhen would do something bad outside the house, how could they manage it as sisters and sisters-in-law?
As for the second prince's plan, Fan Xian was also very clear.
When he was in Chūn Tian, his relationship with the second prince was quite good. At that time, the reason why the second prince did this shady business with the third prince was that he wanted to make more money, and on the other hand, he didn't necessarily deliberately do it against Fan's mansion at that time, but just simply figured out this small building and pulled the relationship between the two sides closer.
In the previous life, there was the true meaning of the same piáo, so what kind of friendship is it with the opening of the jì courtyard to welcome the piáo guest? If the two sides really have such a deep interest relationship, it will not be easy to tear apart.
............ However, the tense has undergone a subtle change after he returned to Beijing, and the second prince is also very surprised.
In the current situation, it was originally used to deepen the friendship between the two sides...... But it has become a rope that twists the melon seedlings!
If Fan Xian wants to continue to move the second prince, he must take into account the existence of this Baoyue Building, after all, Fan Sizhen played a very disgraceful role in it, and only based on the evidence found by the Supervision Yuan now, it is enough to seal this palace and treat Fan Sizhe for a felony! If the incident happens, even if he escapes Qinglu with the power of the Fan family, this matter will also become a weak point for the enemies to attack, and it will be difficult for himself and the Fan family to bear the result.
For Fan Xian, being able to stand relatively dúlì in the middle of the government and politics, he knows that in addition to that mysterious background, the reputation he has worked hard to achieve in the past two years also occupies a very important point.
The Fan family and His Royal Highness partnered to open a courtyard, and the other party splashed sewage on each other's bodies at the same time, the so-called prosperity and loss, beauty and dirt, this is the case.
Fan Xian, a poet who has always been clear and sprinkling, finally made some sorrows, he can not care about his name, but he must care about Fan Sizhe's fate, he must care about his father's attitude, Chen Pingping has emphasized countless times that he owes his father...... Many, many, and at present, it seems that this matter is not very difficult to solve, as long as you release a little kindness, the matter of Baoyue Tower will be completely covered up in Kyoto, and you have enough time to deal with the connection between Fan Sizhen and this matter, and you have to pay ...... Just reaching out and shaking it seems to be the simplest and most beneficial option for both parties.
But Fan Xian would not choose to shake lightly with the black hand stretched out by the second prince, even if this hand represents peace, showing enough sincerity, and the posture is cautious enough, full of temptation, and does not carry out substantive xìng teasing.
Because he can tolerate someone using his reputation to threaten him, but he cannot tolerate someone using his brother to threaten him. No matter how clever the second prince is, he still ignores a very important point, he is always used to judging things from the perspective of interests, judging Fan Xian from the perspective of a courtier, but he forgets that there are many things that have long gone beyond the scope of profit and loss, and Fan Xian ...... Much more arrogant than the so-called courtiers.
Deng Ziyue had already safely gotten into the carriage and left Baoyue Tower.
Fan Xian felt a little comforted, his younger brother was not incorrigibly bad after all, he silently put up his hands, pushed the door out, walked to the door of the room, and gently pushed the door open.
He looked at the surprised people in the room, looked at Fan Sizhen who was shocked and frightened, his face was expressionless, and he said softly: "Follow me home." ”
