Chapter 144: Madame is his
When Fang Xu heard this, he couldn't help but laugh a little, "It's just a title, and it doesn't matter." ”
Fang Lan glanced at her, "If he really doesn't have any other thoughts, he should call you Mrs. Hou according to the etiquette, instead of Mrs. East and Mrs. West, as if this lady is his!" ”
"He's Mr. Xiucai, doesn't he understand the rules that all children know?"
Fang Xu's beautiful eyes were light, her smile was bright, and she quipped, "My sister's mind is too sensitive, she is a new Tanhualang, and she is only one chance away from being able to rise to the top, so why do you need to work me as a widow?" ”
Fang Lan snorted, his brows furrowed, "How can you say that?" ”
Staring at Fang Xu's puzzled gaze, Fang Lan arched her shoulders, leaned closer, and whispered to her to bite her ear, "Let's not talk about it, you have lived like thin ice in the past few years, and you have never had the idea of remarrying?" ”
"Remarry?" Fang Xu raised his eyebrows and shook his head slightly, "I never thought about it." ”
Fang Lan was startled and whispered, "Why?" ”
Fang Xu took the crook of her arm and laughed softly, "There are so many bad things in a small Yongcheng Houfu, and it is not easy to keep the clouds open and see the moon, I have no other intentions, I just ask not to make any more moths." ”
Fang Xu smiled faintly, "I'm dedicated to my career, and I don't have such a thing as love and love in my head." ”
After all, she is an inspirational woman who wants to top the list of rich women in the Beijing circle.
Hearing this, Fang Lan quietly glanced at the man in front of him, sighed lightly, and said quietly, "That's not easy." ”
Fulin Restaurant
In the private room on the second floor, everyone sat around a Nanmu table, drinking and laughing.
Fang Xu pinched the bamboo chopsticks, picked up a piece of lettuce and put it in his mouth, chewing slowly, his mind was empty, but Fang Lan's words flashed in his mind, and his eyes involuntarily looked towards the man opposite.
Shen Jinei wore an elegant cyan robe, holding a porcelain bowl, leaning over slightly, his eyebrows lowered, his long eyelashes drooping, and a faint shadow fell on his face.
Fang Xu retracted his gaze, his face was as usual, and his heart was not half different.
Shen Jisheng's handsomeness belongs to the type that is unforgettable at first sight, but unfortunately Fang Xu is not a nymphomaniac, and even feels that it is easy to make mistakes after seeing too many beauties.
Shen Ji didn't know what she was thinking, and he only thought about the little maid at home saying that his left side of his face was better-looking.
After a meal, Fang Xu hadn't seen Shen Ji's right face.
After dinner, everyone left together.
Fang Xu walked behind, looking at the children playing in front of him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Song Huixin drank too much wine, and for a while he imagined that he was a brave and warlike female general, and then he suddenly wanted to worship Song Fei.
Xie Li has always been by her side, never leaving.
Song Huixin's temperament was jumpy, and he couldn't stay idle after drinking, Xie Li also ran with her, and the noble son, who had always been modest and gentle, was tired and sweating profusely for the first time.
Xie Wanzhou was also greedy for a few more glasses than usual, and her little face was flushed, if it weren't for Lian Yan taking care of her, I am afraid that she would have fallen several times.
Fang Lan and Liu Fanyin walked together, teasing Xie Yinyin in her arms, and the little girl held Liu Fanyin's fingers and giggled.
Fang Xu sighed lightly and secretly said that this is life.
"Ma'am."
Shen Ji's voice came from behind him, and Fang Xu's footsteps paused slightly, and he turned around.
Shen Ji and Fang Xu were only two or three people apart, just now she stared at her family and lost her mind, during this period, who was Shen Ji looking at......
Fang Xu blinked, stopped, looked at him with a smile, and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”
Shen Ji strode forward, catching up with hers, and under the lights, Fang Xu could only see his slightly serious expression.
"Nothing." A smile broke out of the corner of Shen Ji's eyes, and his thin lips opened slightly, "It's just that I just looked at Mrs. in a daze and wanted to call out." ”
Fang Xu smiled dumbly, and walked out with him, the two of them also had a tacit understanding, and the steps they took were the same.
Fang Lan noticed that his sister was left behind, looked back, and happened to see the two walking together, talking and laughing.
His sister is quite reserved and decent, but Shen Ji on the side is smiling brightly, with a spring breeze on his face, and he doesn't look very valuable.
Fang Lan sighed, shook his head slowly, and muttered to himself, "I'm embarrassed to say that my mind is too sensitive, this peacock is open, and only if she lacks a love string, she won't be able to see it!" ”
Xie Yinyin's ears were very sharp, and when he heard Fang Lan's voice, he tilted his head, "Grandma, what are you talking about?" ”
Fang Lan turned his head and squeezed her little hand with a smile, "It's nothing, my aunt and grandmother are fascinated by other people's authorities!" ”
Xie Yinyin didn't understand, and asked crisply, "Grandma, what do you mean by dang...... Chickens peck rice? ”
The little girl's confused speech made Fang Lan laugh out loud, and she forgot about the two behind her for a while.
Fang Xu and Shen Ji accompanied each other and passed by a brightly lit shop.
Shen Ji paused, looked at it, his eyes fell on the door plaque, and his brows furrowed slightly, "It turns out that the Shunyi ticket number is here......"
"Shunyi ticket number?" Fang Xu followed his gaze and saw a small shop with a door, "What is it doing here?" ”
"The ticket number, that is, the money bank." Shen Ji slowly opened his mouth to solve her puzzles, "A ticket number of this scale is not set up for ordinary people, and the relationship behind it is complicated and wide-ranging. ”
"Yesterday at noon, the fourth prince came to me and said that he had found out that Yu Chi Shilang had a batch of hematite in his hand, and three days later, he would be transported from the capital to Pingquan County."
Shen Ji raised his eyes to look at the Shunyi ticket number, his eyes were deep, "Take this order...... It is the Shunyi ticket number and the Wantong dart game. ”
"Wei Chi Shilang......" A trace of inexplicability flashed in Fang Xu's eyes, and he asked softly, "But Yu Chi Wei?" ”
"Not bad." Shen Ji's eyes moved slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Madam...... Know this person? ”
"I don't know each other, but I've just heard about it." Fang Xu's pupils lit up, and the corners of his lips hooked slightly, "The fourth prince gave you an order?" ”
"Madame is smart." Shen Ji smiled warmly and said in a low voice, "The fourth prince has a mind about that batch of goods and wants to rob it for his own use. ”
"It won't be ......" Fang Xu looked at Shen Ji in front of him, looking at him as a weak scholar, and muttered in a low voice, "Let you go to rob the dart?" ”
Shen Ji smiled bitterly, and slowly nodded in Fang Xu's surprised gaze, "Madame is clever." ”
Fang Xu didn't understand, but she was shocked, "Who can be a dart master, which one is not a practitioner?" You, a civil official, how can you rob this dart? ”
"Even if I have some tricks, it's not a good job." Shen Ji stared at the Shunyi ticket number not far away, and said in a low voice, "This batch of goods is filled with hematite, but the outside is in the name of tea. ”
"Wei Chiwei found the Shunyi ticket number and placed 5,000 taels of bail, and the cost of the dart game was calculated separately." Shen Ji shook his head slowly, his face was embarrassed, "How can you not understand the twists and turns in the ticket number business?" ”
"Who would be so idle to pay 5,000 taels of silver to guarantee two carts of tea?" Shen Ji sighed lightly, "This batch of goods, whether it is the Shunyi ticket number or the Wantong Dart Bureau, has sent a lot of people to keep an eye on it, for fear that something will go wrong." ”
Fang Xu lowered his eyes, thought about it again, and still opened his mouth, "Although this matter is difficult to do...... But it's not impossible. ”
