Chapter 1 Fang Yan

Luohua City, located in Lanzhou, can be described as flowery fields and willow green, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, just like the source of the world.

About the name of this city, the origin can be said to be Feiyun, some people say that it is taken from the ancient mortal language, "falling flowers and flowing water, the coming year is better than the sky." Some people say that it is because of the topography of the city. Luohua City is located in the Green Mountain Range, and at the top of this green mountain, it is entrenched in the Flower Bone Sect of the Immortal Family Sect. In this way, Falling Flower City has a faint tendency of vassalization. At the end of the day, the city is also quite famous in the surrounding area.

But about the Flower Bone Sect, there are not many records in the mortal world, after all, it is an immortal school, and most of the people in the sect advocate ascending to the immortal realm, but mortals rarely have anything to intersect with, so the world calls them "immortals".

The reason why Luohua City can be attached to the Immortal Family Sect is because there is a person in the city who was favored by the Flower Bone Sect hundreds of years ago and was included in the sect. That person later slowly emerged in the sect, so that Falling Flower City could be protected by the Flower Bone Sect.

At this time, the city was unusually lively, and every house was full of lights. It's not yet the New Year, but the red light has been hung up. Everything is because the Song family, the largest family in the city, wants to marry the famous Fang family.

Although Falling Flower City is inconspicuous in this large Lanzhou, it also has a strict division of forces. At the top of the pyramid are the upper three, that is, Song, Chen, and Xu. Below, there are famous families, most of these families have ancestors of Hanlin scholars, so the blessing of the shadow has blessed the descendants, so that these families have continued to this day.

This political marriage is seen by ordinary people, and the purpose is also very clear.

For a long time, the Song family has always held the position of the city lord firmly in their hands, and in the upper three families, they also have absolute leadership, but until now, the power has gradually weakened, and the Chen and Xu families have repeatedly grown in recent years, and the Song family has a phenomenon of checks and balances.

If the Song family wants to get rid of the status quo, the only way is to win over famous families. And the Fang family, which is the weakest among them, is undoubtedly a good choice.

As for the Fang family, being able to climb the three families is naturally willing to participate in one.

Others are just having fun, after all, mortal life is only a hundred years, and when this kind of thing happens, they are happy to participate.

When there was laughter and laughter in the city, only one academy close to the Fang family still had white bricks and gray tiles, which looked a little bleak compared to the surrounding flowers and willow green. In the inner room, the young man's mellow voice slowly came out.

"The intention will rest, the eternal only dream to see, if you only listen to the floating life to return, but sigh the coming year is not changed. Zeng Ke sighed, and the swallow will return in the coming day. It does not refer to its morning and evening thoughts, but to seek peace of mind in this life. ”

After that, the young man put down the ink pen in his hand, shook the scroll, looked carefully, looked up at the window, sighed softly, and said, "This is probably the last poem I made in this house." ”

Between the words, the young man raised his hand and handed the written scroll to the maid beside him. "Xiaocui, you keep it, if you remember that there was a master like me in the future, you can take it out and read it from time to time. ”

Beside the young man, there was a girl in a green shirt and a slave. The girl looked like she was about fifteen or sixteen years old. The appearance is not beautiful, but it also has a sense of beauty.

The girl took the scroll with both hands, but her eyes became slightly red, and she looked at the young master in front of her, who had been with her since childhood.

The young man was wearing a white robe, his long hair was not coiled, he was draped behind him casually, and his thin face had a hint of coldness, which made him have a different kind of charm. His expression was indifferent, with a hint of tiredness and stubbornness between his eyebrows, and it seemed that his figure was a little weak.

Xiao Cui held the scroll tightly in her arms, and said with a crying voice: "Young Master Fang Yan, is there really no other way, Xiao Cui doesn't want you to go to the Song family!"

Fang Yan shook his head, looked up to the sky and sighed, put his hand on Xiao Cui's head and rubbed it, and said softly: "My father's fate is hard to disobey, besides, I am just an orphan, not my younger brother is the son of the Fang family, and it is normal to be used by the family." ”

Seeing that Xiao Cui's eyes were extremely red and about to cry, Fang Yan smiled bitterly, and the hand on Xiao Cui's head was raised, but instead it flicked on her head, and said with a smile: "You Nizi, this young man is not going to die, this matter of harmony is not a bad thing for me, at least I don't have to look at the faces of those old ghosts." ”

After saying that, Fang Yan turned his head and looked at the outside of the door, with a faint hint of coldness. He turned his back and said, "Let's go, come with me, and meet my so-called elders." ”

The Fang family, in this city of falling flowers, is a famous literary family. Since the development of the Fang family, although it ranks behind among the famous families, it is still not comparable to ordinary families. There are many children of descendants, and the two brothers Fang Yan are the children of the head of the family, Fang Hong.

It is worth mentioning that Fang Yan was not his own, but picked up by Fang Yan's grandfather when he went north to run errands. When his grandfather was there, Fang Hong still did some of his father's duties, and after his grandfather died, Fang Hong's attitude towards Fang Yan also changed sharply, and Fang Yan was forced to move into this study to live.

Outsiders may not be able to understand it, but Fang Yan has been talented and intelligent since he was a child, and he has long seen the tricks played by Fang Hong thoroughly.

All the reasons are because before Fang Yan's grandfather died, he had identified Fang Yan as the heir of the next generation.

This matter had caused great controversy among the top echelons of the family, but in the end, it was Fang Yan's grandfather who overrode public opinion and decided it strongly.

Before his grandfather died, he called Fang Yan to his side, touched his hand, and said, "Silly boy...... Forgive my grandfather for his willfulness...... When I picked you up that day, I knew that you were not a thing of the pool...... Something...... It's up to you to figure it out...... The family is closed and self-contained...... You're bound to be suppressed...... I don't know...... Tie you to the Fang family...... Is it fortunate or unfortunate...... Maybe, it's fate? hehe...... Life...... Fate ......" said that, in Fang Yan's cry, he died suddenly.

Sure enough, not long after his grandfather's death, Fang Hong began to make things difficult for Fang Yan for various reasons. And those so-called relatives, because of Fang Hong, sneered at Fang Yan all day long.

And not long ago, because Fang Yan privately bought many folk Xianjia Daomen to study, Fang Hong grabbed the handle, so in the name of not learning and not knowing, he drove Fang Yan out of the room "above board", and was forced to move to the study to live.

But his grandfather's order before his death could not be changed, so Fang Hong came up with another plan.

As a result, the matter of harmony was born in this context.

If Fang Yan entered his family, then the position of the head of the family naturally could not be held by a person who joined his family. Fang Hong could thus push it to Fang Yan's young and ignorant younger brother, so that his line could continue to dominate. This is the most fundamental reason why the Fang family chose to marry.

In the final analysis, Fang Yan's younger brother is just a victim of this political struggle. If he succeeds him, in fact, Fang Hong will still be in charge, and he is just a puppet emperor-like figure.

Fang Yan knew everything, but he couldn't break it. As the old saying goes: "People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves." "I am only fifteen years old, and my ability to live has not yet reached the point of self-reliance, and if I tear my face with my father, then my situation is also precarious.

In the long run, the indifference of relatives also caused Fang Yan's coldness, but Xiaocui's perennial companionship and refusal to abandon made the young man's cold heart have a trace of warmth. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, Fang Yan does not understand etiquette and is rude to his elders, but in the eyes of close people, Fang Yan sometimes shows a gentle and funny side. In this way, it is somewhat similar to the demonic people circulating in the rivers and lakes. Therefore, Fang Yan looked at this so-called father coldly and "sold" himself step by step.

Outside the door at this time, Fang Yan's fathers were standing on both sides. When Fang Yan walked past them, these so-called uncles all had indifference and ridicule in their expressions. Fang Yan laughed in a low voice, in this world, he only attaches importance to bloodline, whether it is the righteous path inheritance or the royal nobles, he has an indifferent attitude towards the disciples who are not his own family.

At the door, Fang Yan's father and younger brother were also there. Father Fang Hong, because he is old, his figure is a little rickety, but he still has a disgusted expression of the usual dialect, as if the child he brought up is a dirty earth dog in the wild.

And the younger brother Fang Yu's gaze is much more complicated. Since he was a child, Fang Yu was used by his father as a tool to fight against Fang Yan, so he was also instilled with a lot of malicious thoughts about Fang Yan.

Fang Yu's appearance was inferior to Fang Yan. Fang Yu is the orthodox bloodline of the Fang family, and naturally has the standard national character face of the Fang family. But Fang Yan's appearance can be described as like a mortal immortal, which is even more attractive to women. This was also one of the reasons why Fang Yu was jealous of Fang Yan.

At this time, he looked at his "brother", although the corners of his mouth were concealed, he still raised slightly, as if to say: "Brother, you lost, get out of the house obediently, the head of the family is destined not to be you, an outsider, and will definitely belong to me." ”

Fang Yan walked past them expressionlessly, and when one foot was about to step out of the door, he suddenly stopped, he turned around, and asked lightly at Fang Yu, who had a victor-like smile on his face, "Do you know, what is fate?"

Fang Yu paused for a moment, Fang Yan didn't look at him, turned around, looked up at the sky, and chanted a poem: "Sometimes there must be in life, and it is controlled by others." In the future, the sky is high and the fate is high, and if you don't want to be a chicken, you want to become a phoenix. ”

When the younger brother came back to his senses, his face suddenly turned ugly, and he shouted at the elder brother: "Brother, what do you mean, are you scolding me for being short-sighted? ”

Fang Yan still didn't look back, but with the corner of his eye, he glanced at Fang Hong, laughed slowly, and said, "There are some things that you still never know, my stupid brother." ”

After that, regardless of Fang Yu and his father Tie Qing's faces, he smiled and said, "Xiao Cui, what about the clothes I wore when I got married, bring them to me!" While smiling, he stepped out the door.
