Shen House

The red window was half-open, and the coolness poured into the house, and the earth dragon was burning outside, and the charcoal basin in the house was also burning, which was not cold.

Shen Ji sat alone at the table, with a sketch map of Xunya County sent by the informant in front of him.

Suddenly, a milky white carrier pigeon appeared in the courtyard, with a bamboo tube tied to its calf, lingering in front of the window a few times, flapping its wings twice, and landing on the edge of the window.

Shen Ji was diverted by it, raised his hand to untie the bamboo tube, poured out the note inside, and gently opened it.

There are only a few strokes on the paper: the fish has bitten the hook.

Shen Ji's eyes deepened, and he threw the note into the charcoal basin casually, and watched it be swallowed by the firelight before he looked away.

"Sir!"

Wen Mo's face was panicked, and he stumbled a few steps, and finally stood firm, "Sir, something happened outside!" ”

Shen Ji glanced at him and said helplessly, "You have followed me since you were a child, how can you still learn the word calm?" ”

Wen Mo swallowed his saliva, his expression was still flustered, "Sir, this time is really a big deal, it is rumored outside, Mr. You are happy with the master of the Yongcheng Waiting Mansion, and most of the people in the capital know about this rumor!" ”

Hearing this, Shen Ji was about to hold the pen with his hand, his handsome face was flushed, and the corners of his mouth were also hooked, "I already like Mrs., how can this be considered a rumor?" ”

Shen Ji paused, thought of Fang Xu, and asked in a low voice, "Does this matter affect Madame?" ”

"What Mrs. Hou, what is the matter with Mrs. Hou!" Wen Mo saw that his husband suddenly became shy, and his scalp was numb in shock, "It's you and the young lady of Houfu, Liu's family!" ”

Shen Ji was stunned for a moment, the smile on the corner of his mouth froze, and he immediately stood up suddenly, and knocked down the tea cup in his hand, and the tea spilled on the ground, splashing his clothes.

"How could it be the Liu family?" Shen Ji's face was bloody, and in a hurry, he didn't care about any demeanor, so he shouted, "Why don't you go and find out who did it!" ”

"Yes!"

East Side

The mutton restaurant is full again, and the house is full of heat and the smell of meat, which makes people hungry.

The colder the weather, the more business at the mutton restaurant will be.

In order to eat a bite of the hot food, Fang Xu had already grabbed two handmaidens and guarded them outside, which could be regarded as an empty table.

"Eh, why are you here again?"

Fang Xu heard the movement, slowly raised his head, and met Gu Sisi's surprised eyes.

"Why can't I?" Fang Xu looked her up and down, saw that she had an apron tied around her waist, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you......?" Come to work? ”

Gu Sisi's face turned red, and he sat down opposite her with a big grin, and smiled, "Brother Bai's business is too busy, and he can't take care of it on weekdays, so if he wants to recruit more people, I will come over and earn some copper plate to subsidize myself." ”

"Just to earn some more copper?" Fang Xu had a smile in his eyes and quipped softly, "Not for the people who sent copper plates? ”

"I want you to talk more!" Gu Sisi's face was disgusted, but the corners of his mouth rose uncontrollably, "Your dignified Mrs. Houmen, you also like to eat the things in this little shop?" ”

"You know what? The real food is hidden in the folk. Fang Xu pinched the bamboo chopsticks and picked up a basket of noodles, "On such a cold day, who can refuse a bowl of hot mutton noodles?" ”

After hearing this, the two maids, one on the left and one on the right, nodded heavily, and their small mouths were stuffed and bulging.

Looking at the satisfied faces of the master and servant, Gu Sisi couldn't help but sigh, "It's really weird." ”

His eyes fell on Fang Xu Mingyan's face, and Gu Sisi opened his mouth bluntly, "I originally misunderstood you, and I thought that my cousin was pleased with you, but I didn't expect that I was interested in your daughter-in-law." ”

Fang Xu, who was snorting noodles, raised his head suddenly, his eyes full of surprise, "I...... My daughter-in-law? ”

"By the way, didn't you hear the rumors?" Gu Sisi looked confused, and raised his hand to point outside, "It's all about saying, my cousin likes the young lady Liu of Yongcheng Houfu." ”

Bai Ji was drinking soup with a bowl, and when he heard the words, his throat moved, and a pop squirted out.

Su Zi's eyes were glazed, and he didn't even know when the chopsticks in his hand fell on the table.

Fang Xu blinked his eyes and frowned slightly, "How could such crazy words come from outside?" ”

"I don't know, I just said that my cousin has a beautiful heart, and for the sake of your daughter-in-law, I dare to rush to Jinlai Qianzhuang to fight with the prince." Gu Sisi shook his head, and his tone was complaining, "When you two stood together that day, I thought that my cousin had love for you, but who knew that it was my son-in-law's respect for my mother-in-law." ”

Fang Xu suddenly came back to his senses, gritted his teeth and said, "This is pure nonsense, it's ridiculous!" ”

"That's how it came out there." Gu Sisi stared at her, and sighed faintly for a while, "I think you are a good person, and I want to be friends with you, so I remind you more, my aunt...... It's not a good person, no matter how good your daughter-in-law is, in her opinion, she is just a widow, and if something happens, she will definitely make trouble. ”

Fang Xu's face was gloomy, he slapped his chopsticks on the table heavily, and said in a low voice, "I know this in my heart, thank you." ”

After the words fell, Fang Xu slowly got up and walked straight out of the house.

"Madame!" Su Zi exclaimed, handed the meal money to Gu Sisi, and ran outside the door.

Bai Ji hurriedly drank a few sips of mutton soup, wiped the corners of his mouth and chased after him.

Yongcheng Houfu

"Old lady, let me say it again, you can't enter our waiting house without a fold!"

Zeng Tianya's voice sounded, and his tone was full of helplessness.

Fang Xu heard the movement, raised his hand to open the curtain of the car, and looked out.

The old lady was dressed in brocade, stood at the bottom of the steps with her waist crossed, pointed at Zeng Tianya and scolded, "I! When your palace is made of gold, will it not be? I'm going to go in today, and I'll see if any of you dare to stop me!" ”

"My son is a Chinese scholar!" The old lady blushed angrily, but her combat effectiveness did not decrease at all, "I must see the Liu family today, she must give me an explanation for those gossips outside!" ”

"Look at the mean appearance of that little family, not like an official's mother, but like an upstart." Su Zi frowned and muttered in a low voice, "There are no rules at all, how can you give birth to a character like Lord Shen?" ”

"According to the slave maid, this old woman is eighty percent of the people who feel that the prince is in the fourth grade, and she dares to make trouble under Lord Shen." Bai Ji pursed his mouth and said in a stiff tone, "The son was angry, and suddenly became the mother of the big official, and all of a sudden his nostrils rose to the sky, and he dared to come to the marquis's house to show off." ”

"The frog at the bottom of the well can only distinguish the size of an official rank." Su Zi snorted lightly, his face was uneasy, "King Runan doesn't have an official position yet, why don't you dare to make trouble in front of him?" It's just that I feel that our Hou Mansion only has one son, so it's easy to bully! ”

As soon as the two girls sang and harmonized, they almost went down in person to tear up a few rounds with Shen's mother.

Fang Xu quietly looked at the farce in front of him, his eyelids drooped, and he couldn't see any joy or anger on his face. (End of chapter)
