Fang Xu's words caused the nobles to laugh for a while, and they shirked each other and said that they had a good relationship with each other.

At this time, Xie Wanzhou stepped out of the door, and before winter, she was dressed in a thin coat, with butterfly embroidery patterns on it, and the light blue embroidered shoes showed a sharp point, and there were a few pearl tassels hanging on the tips of the shoes.

Seeing Fang Xu, the little girl's little face shrunk in the middle of the curtain burst into a smile and called softly, "Mother, you're back." ”

Fang Xu nodded, and raised his chin towards the nobles on the side, "Your friends are waiting for you, let's go out and have fun." ”

"Okay." Xie Wanzhou pursed her lips and smiled, walked quickly to the side of the nobles, and said with a smile, "I've been waiting for a long time, let's go." ”

The nobles led Xie Wanzhou and went in the direction of Dongcheng, and there were thirty or forty people in the entourage behind them.

Fang Xu shook his head and smiled, and led the two maids into the mansion.

Back in Chengyuan, Fang Xu retreated from everyone, leaving Bai Ji alone.

Fang Xu sat on the chair, looked at the little girl opposite, and gently hooked his lower lip, "Bai Ji, I am looking for you now, I want to discuss something with you." ”

Bai Ji frowned, twisted his eyebrows into a Sichuan character, and said softly, "If the lady has something, even if she orders the slave maid, how can she discuss it?" ”

Fang Xu shook his head, "There are some things that also have to follow your ideas. ”

Bai Ji was puzzled, "Madam, the slave's brain is not good, you can say it directly." ”

Fang Xu sighed and said slowly, "In the past days, people were swordsmen, and I was fish and meat, and from today onwards, I am bound to rewrite this situation." ”

"Bai Ji, I need someone I can trust." Fang Xu raised his eyes and looked at her with a look full of trust, "If I find a master for you and teach you martial arts, are you willing?" ”

Bai Ji was stunned, and after a moment he knelt down, "Madam, the slave is willing." ”

Fang Xu sat up straight, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, "You...... So agreed? ”

Bai Ji raised his head and looked straight at Fang Xu, his voice was crisp, "Thanks to Madame's kindness, the slave maid and Su Zi can grow up safely." ”

"If the lady is a tiger, the slave and maid will be the minions, and become the sharp blade in the hands of the lady, swinging at the enemy, and the knife will be deadly."

Fang Xu's eyes were hot, staring at Bai Ji and losing his mind.

A good deed more than ten years ago left two lives and saved a trump card for himself.

"With your words, I will definitely not treat you badly." Fang Xu hooked his lips, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

When night falls, the light market is turned on, looking from afar, the bright lights are like stars, and most of the stalls facing the street are filled with lanterns, all kinds and variety.

Xie Wanzhou walked aimlessly on the street, and suddenly, a hibiscus lantern broke into sight, and there was a candle flame dancing inside, which was particularly beautiful.

Zhu Tao saw that the young lady liked it, stepped forward to pay the copper plate, and handed the lantern to Xie Wanzhou.

Xie Wanzhou pursed the corners of her mouth and smiled softly, "Furong is beautiful and refined, and she is a good match for her mother." ”

"Miss has a heart, and she still thinks about Madame when she comes out to play." Zhu Tao smiled, "The slave maid took a look, the young lady is holding the lantern, and you are even more delicate!" ”

Xie Wanzhou glanced at her with disgust, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "Let's go forward, I want to buy a return gift for Gongzi Lian today." ”

Zhu Tao shrugged her shoulders and muttered in a low voice, "How can Miss still remember, the slave and maid see that even the son is clearly ...... have a heart."

"Bamboo peach?" Xie Wanzhou walked in front, and when she saw that the little maid didn't follow, she raised her voice and shouted, "What are you doing?" Why not go? ”

"Eh, here's Miss!" Zhu Tao answered, lifted her skirt and ran in the direction of Xie Wanzhou.

Fulin Restaurant

In the private room near the window on the second floor, a young man sat near the window, with his left hand on the table, his right hand holding the lamp, and drinking the fruit wine in the lamp.

The young man is dressed in regular clothes, with a sharp contour on the side face, thin lips slightly pursed, and quite an aura.

"Four...... Childe, we've been here for an hour, will the person you're waiting for really come? A clear-eyed little guy stood in front of him and asked in a low voice.

If you listen carefully, you can hear the abnormal sharpness in the girl's voice.

The young man raised his head, and that face was Yuan Chen.

"Will come." Yuan Chen put down the wine cup and said in an indifferent voice, "We each take what we need, and I also have what he wants." ”

About half an hour later, there was a knock at the door of the private room.

Yuan Chen lifted his eyelids slightly, and the little eunuch beside him understood and hurriedly opened the door.

The door to the private room opened, revealing the man's handsome eyebrows.

The little eunuch grinned and said softly, "Mr. Shen, you are finally here, the prince has been waiting for you for a long time!" ”

Shen Ji walked into the room, the door behind him was closed, his eyes fell on the young man by the window, and the corners of his mouth hooked a gentle smile, "Don't blame the child, the students in the academy have a problem, so it took some time." ”

Yuan Chen got up, although he still had that stinky face, his eyes were a little warm, "Mr. has something to do, so naturally he has to deal with it before he can come over." ”

Shen Ji's voice was gentle, and his tone was not slow, "Young Master Lao has been waiting for a long time." ”

"It's not long." Yuan Chen stretched out his hand towards the empty seat opposite, "Sir, please take a seat." ”

Shen Ji sat opposite, smiling softly, and Yuan Chen on the opposite side instructed the little eunuch to pour wine.

Both seemed to be waiting for the other to speak first.

In the end, it was Yuan Chen who was defeated first, and took the lead in saying, "I heard that this is the second time that Mr. has participated in the imperial examination?" ”

"That's right." Shen Ji lowered his head, and a trace of bitterness appeared in his eyes, "The first time I participated in the imperial examination, I only participated in the second entrance examination, and then I had to interrupt it because my mother at home was seriously ill." ”

When Yuan Chen heard this, his fingertips tapped on the table again and again, "Even if he only participated in two examinations, Mr. can still be among the talents with his answers, and make an exception, he is really a talent." ”

"Childe praises." Shen Ji raised the corners of his mouth slightly, but did not answer this conversation, "Shen has only learned the skin, and he still can't bear the word talent." ”

"Sir, modest." Yuan Chen didn't have too much expression on his face, but there was a temptation in his tone, and he fought a roundabout battle, "Now that someone has been abolished, men of the right age are all ready to move, according to Mr. 's talent, it is inevitable to win the imperial examination." ”

Yuan Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "The current situation is unknown, I don't know if Mr. has a plan in mind?" ”

"Whether the career can be smooth sailing in the future depends on whether Mr. follows the right person."

Shen Ji took a sip of wine, and a smile rose in his eyes, "This time is special, and Shen is here today to take a certain risk." ”

"Since Shen is here, he understands his thoughts, but Childe doesn't understand?"

When Yuan Chen heard this, his heart moved slightly, he reached over, picked up the wine cup, and raised it lightly towards Shen Ji, "Mr. Shen, I respect you." ”

"Childe has promoted Shen." Shen Ji smiled back, holding the wine cup and touching it, making a crisp sound.

The two are opposite, one high and one low, the two seem to have reached some consensus, and they tacitly agree with each other's thoughts.
