Devil’s Advent

Are you wondering why I agreed to go to Fan Mansion?

It's a little bit, because it doesn't seem to conform to the Lord's usual style. A Ming said.

Three things happened, the first time we met, Fan Zhengwen said he would help me rob the princess, and the second time we met, he brought a counselor to help us plan, how to do it, when to do it, and how to retreat, it all helped us think of it.

It doesn't matter if it's congenial, or it doesn't matter if it's collusion, in short, from the moment I agreed to rob the Princess of Chu and go back, we and the Fan family have already formed an alliance.

Next, the members of the Fan family will move, and the people led by San'er, Siniang, Jin Shuke, and Ke Yandong will also move step by step.

Whether to lurk down to infiltrate the royal garden or to reserve a new force on the way to retreat, or the noise and echo of Princess Jie's surroundings that day, all categories and purposes require extremely detailed planning, and What the Fan family needs to do is actually only a lot more than us, and the risks they take are much, much higher than ours.

So, anyway, Siniang and the others are responsible for the operation of the following things. As for me, what I can do is to enter the Fan Mansion. One is to express a mutual trust relationship, and the other is that I am in the Fan Mansion. Really peace of mind.

Because the Fan family has to stay in Xiayong and Chu, they are not like us, they can run away just by patting their asses.

Zheng Fan glanced at A Ming and continued:

The second point is that Fan Zhengwen is a very good man, he is even better at being a man than a blind man, because the arrogance of a blind man cannot be erased, but Fan Zhengwen can.

Therefore, if it was from Fan Zhengwen's point of view, according to his habits, he would not offer me such a reluctant invitation.

Therefore, I speculate that someone in Fan's residence wants to see me. I don't know who it is, but his status should be higher than Fan Zhengwen's.

My lord, why didn't that person tell me directly?

Maybe I belong to the category of visible or invisible to that person. There is actually a person in Fan's mansion who can treat me so lightly and casually. Do you think I should go and meet him?

And the third one, my lord.

That's why I really want to see how the real wealthy families in this world live their lives.

God behold,

It's not Uncle Zheng talking nonsense,

It's that he really hasn't really seen how the real rich people in this world live.

When I first woke up, I was in the small restaurant opened by my own demon kings. In fact, I was in the local area, so it was considered well-to-do.

Afterwards, I went to the Zhenbeihou Mansion. The Zhenbeihou Mansion is very big, but as long as you remember that Zhenbeihou himself ate several roast ducks and then went to the imperial garden to roast lamb legs, you can know that the Zhenbeihou Mansion is very big. It is expensive, but really not extravagant.

Zheng Fan had also been to the Imperial Palace of Yan Kingdom, but the life of Emperor Yan was too simple. Zheng Fan once wondered why the princes still live in the prince's mansion, that is, the collective dormitory?

Save money.

You know, if the mansion is opened a few years later, the court will be able to save several years of money, grain and clan salary.

The Tian family, Zheng Fan was fortunate enough to be able to go and see the extravagance of the powerful family, but I am sorry, that night, Uncle Zheng only had time to have a good meal among the guards of the Jingnan Hou, and he didn't even eat the meal After taking a few sips, I experienced a real bloody romance at the order of Jingnanhou, and that night became a nightmare that lingered in Uncle Zheng's heart.

Then when I went south to the Qian Kingdom, I was busy fighting and didn’t have time to savor it. Even if I entered the Qian Kingdom’s palace, at that time, because the Yan army was approaching the city, the palace was full of turmoil. As an envoy, I was in panic. I ate a few bites of dim sum there, but I couldn't tell whether it was sweet or salty.

The capital of the Jin Kingdom was already in ruins. After the soldiers invaded the Jin Kingdom's palace, Zheng Fan only cared about looting the property. The Imperial Palace of the Situ Yi brothers in Fengxin City was also a den of bandits.

The truly extravagant atmosphere and the life of the upper class need to be savored slowly in a quiet and peaceful environment.

There are still more than ten days before the Chinese New Year, and another ten days before the Lantern Festival, which is almost a month, which is enough time for him to live a truly luxurious life in this world in Fan Mansion.

A Ming heard these three reasons and said:

The subordinates feel that the third reason seems to be more convincing.

Zheng Fan nodded and said:

Of course, because the first two were added by myself to make up for the third.

... A Ming.

A Ming looked at the wine bag habitually, and it was already empty. He collected the assassin's blood last time, but because the storage conditions were not good, he took a wine bag.

Blood is stale, but it is more difficult to enter the throat than stale pork.

However, Ah Ming suddenly felt that what the master said was right, the Eunuch Zhang next to Little Six could play in the wine cellar and store red wine in the private house outside the palace, so the Fan family must not be short of it, right?

No matter how fresh the blood of ordinary people is, it is better than nothing, but high-quality red wine is the real enjoyment.

only,

Ah Ming pointed to He Chunlai and Chen Daole, who also disguised themselves but failed to get on the bullock cart and followed behind.

road:

Then why did the Lord bring them along?

When Chen Daole and He Chunlai heard the words, their faces were a little embarrassed.

A few days after they followed Fan Li into Xuehai Customs, they were dispatched into this team before they got familiar with the land. They entered Chu in a daze.

Then, after the others were all assigned, the two of them were actually singled out, and followed Uncle Hirano in disguise to enter the Fan residence.

Zheng Fan pointed at He Chunlai, then at Chen Daole,

road:

Those who are mindless and unhappy must be brought with them and watched.

A Ming said again:

what about me?

immediately,

A Ming immediately added:

My lord, there is no need to answer this.

Zheng Fan smiled and didn't answer.

The team entered Xiayong County.

There is a folk song circulating in Xiayong County:

Mengshan's mother's family was short of food, so she went to Xiayong to beg for Fan.

Mengshan Niangniang is a god in a myth and custom in the Mengshan land. Begging for Fan is also called begging for food, which is enough to show the grandeur of the Fan family in the Xiayong land.

In fact, more than 70% of the shops in the entire Xiayong County are owned by the Fan family, and more than 60% of the farmers outside the city are renting and planting the fields of the Fan family. , it is difficult to leave the Fan family's property.

And this is actually a small microcosm of the Fan family's wealth, and the real profitable industry is smuggling.

Fan Mansion, located in the east of Xiayong County, occupies a very large area, even the back door for the transportation team to enter and exit, there is actually a memorial archway.

After entering the mansion, Fan Zhengwen didn't come over. He wanted to do what he had to do and show his face. As a big event was imminent, he needed to pay more attention to the details outside.

Zheng Fan and the other four entered the back house together under the leadership of a steward.

The front house, the middle house, and the back house, along the way, Zheng Fan clearly noticed several groups of hidden guards. The defense of Fan Mansion can be described as extremely strict.

But outside of the strictness, once you enter the mansion, it immediately gives you a completely different feeling.

The servants and maids walking by inside, their clothes and the things they hold in their hands, the plants and trees inside, in fact, you can't see much obvious luxury, but the luxury seems to be smashed and kneaded into the wind. You come rushing forward.

After entering the back house, the steward brought the four of Zheng Fan into a small courtyard called Qingfangzhai.

The size of the small courtyard is small, but the sense of layout is strong. There are small bridges, flowing water and pavilions, but it is dense but not cramped at all. Most importantly, the location of this small courtyard is very convenient.

From a military point of view, you can get depth in all directions in this small courtyard, which probably means that if someone comes to arrest you, you can escape in all directions.

It feels really different. Zheng Fan walked into the pavilion and said with emotion.

In fact, the decoration of the Earl's Mansion is also very good, but how can I put it, the Fan Mansion has a different style, and the style is almost made to the extreme, which can give people an unusual impression.

A Ming said straight to the point: It's mainly our Earl's Mansion, where there are few people.

Zheng Fan nodded upon hearing this.

Because Zheng Fan himself likes to be quiet, and the second is for safety considerations. There are very few servants in the Earl's Mansion. No matter how good the house is, if no one lives in it, and if there is not enough popularity, it will not have that smell.

Of course, there is another extremely important reason. In the Hirano House, there are more non-humans than human beings!

The person in charge withdrew after leading Zheng Fan and the others in. Immediately, a group of maidservants came in and delivered dishes and snacks.

They are all extremely exquisite food, the same as the decoration here, maybe Zheng Fan is not very used to the cooking habits of this era, he still prefers the dishes cooked by Siniang, but if he can achieve the ultimate excellence in the ingredients, he can still It highlights the quality of the dishes.

But Zheng Fan was not very hungry. After eating a few snacks, he entered the house. There was a soup pond in the house. There was a tiger squatting in the soup pond. Zheng Fan tried to pull the ring. After a while, it was hot with white smoke. Water actually gushes out from the tiger's mouth.

Tut tut.

Uncle Zheng thought this design was really surprising.

Naturally, this can't be a water heater, but like the soup house in Spirited Away, there should be a special room in Fan's Mansion, and someone in it will always pay attention to observe the bids, and whichever brand moves, go to it. Put hot water that has been boiling into the mouth.

Just to take a bath for the people in the house, you have to specially raise a large group of people, which is comparable to hiring a whole team just to raise a dog in later generations.

Zheng Fan took off his clothes and sat in.

Some herbs should be added to the hot water, and the taste is a little fragrant.

Ah Ming walked in, saw Zheng Fan taking a bath, and said with a smile, It looks quite advanced.

Well, let's go down and bubble together?

No, my lord, I'll go to the wine cellar.

Zheng Fan nodded, and after Ah Ming left, he continued to soak for a while with his eyes closed, and even took a nap in the soup pool.

After waking up, he climbed out again and lay down on the bed. He didn't know what material the quilt was made of, but it was very comfortable and felt like a woman's smooth skin.

Uncle Zheng also subconsciously stretched out his hand and touched the surroundings to make sure that Fan Zhengwen was not so stupid as to arrange for him to sleep with a girl before falling asleep.

This sleep was so comfortable, really so comfortable.

When I woke up, it was already early in the morning.

Zheng Fan himself also felt a little strange, after all, this is not in the Earl's Mansion, generally speaking, outside, because he does not have a complete sense of security, he seldom sleeps soundly.

After all, he is also a battle-tested person, who can really sleep like a dead pig without heart?

It seems that there is something special in this room, or even this bed, that can help you sleep.

Zheng Fan shook his head and smiled;

The ancients should not be underestimated. If the ancients wanted to pay attention to extravagance and extreme desire, they really might not be worse than the later generations.

After waking up and pushing open the window, Zheng Fan heard the laughter of a group of women from outside.

Because the window is hidden by flowers, I can see the pavilion from my side, but I can't see the scene from the window outside.

In that kiosk, a group of young women sat together as if they were having a poetry meeting, reciting poems and composing fuss, fighting with each other, all dressed exquisitely, fat and thin, beautiful and intelligent, each with its own characteristics, and all of them were of different ages. It's not big, judging by the hair style, it should not be out of the cabinet.

This is probably the twelve beauties of the Fan Mansion that Fan Zhengwen mentioned earlier?

Not to mention, it really has the flavor of Dream of Red Mansions.

After all, it is the flower buds soaked in the aura of rich and noble people, which is completely different from the folk women Zheng Fan saw in Yandi and Jindi.

And they held a poetry meeting here today, obviously it should have been designed behind the scenes.

It is impossible that this group of beauties gathered in Qingfangzhai to have a fighting beauty just after I lived in this courtyard.

At this moment, Chen Daole pushed open the door and entered with breakfast food in his hand.

As usual, they are all extremely exquisite food.

For Zheng Fan's stomach, this kind of food will definitely get greasy after eating for a long time, but when he first started enjoying it, it is absolutely delicious.

Is there a poetry meeting outside? Zheng Fan asked with a smile.

Chen Daole nodded, and said, It's the girls from Fan's residence, with families and relatives.

Have you talked? Zheng Fan asked.

Yes, they said a few words when they first came in.

Why didn't you accompany me to the poetry meeting? Zheng Fan reached out to pick up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth, You are also a genius of the Chen family.

In front of my uncle, I don't dare to be called talented in a humble position.

Chen Daole has read Zheng Fan's Zheng Zi's Art of War.

Zheng Fan nodded without blushing at all, and said, Indeed.

Chen Daole also smiled.

Uncle, there is something that I've always wanted to say, but I don't know, Uncle...

Well, don't worry, don't worry, will what you said affect our actions this time?

Won't.

Then don't rush to talk about it, and talk about it when you get back.

But, uncle...

That's it.

Zheng Fan was standing by the window, watching Yingying and Yanyan over there having a poetry meeting, while eating breakfast, this is probably the so-called...beautiful and delicious.

In fact, Uncle Zheng can go over there, copy a few poems, show them off in front of the little girl,

I've imagined it in my dreams before,

But when it really came to this time, I felt that there was no need for it. It was good to have a look, and there was no need to forcefully intervene to affect the atmosphere.

...

Isn't it beautiful? On the roof, Ah Ming asked He Chunlai who was sitting next to him, who was also drinking old rice wine early in the morning, while drinking grape wine.

pretty.

He Chunlai answered very sincerely.

The girls in the small pavilion are more distinctive and temperamental than each other.

In this era, when a man marries a wife, age is not so important. It is common for young and old to match.

Although everyone is an adult, they don't think it is inappropriate or evil to marry a girl who is not out of the cabinet now.

But the Lord may not like it. A Ming said.

Those who know me are also the devil king.

Why? He Chunlai was a little puzzled. He wasn't stupid. He knew that today's Meichai Poetry Fair must not be so simple. Maybe these beauties themselves didn't know that their stature had been put on the shelf, but Fan Zhengwen's The meaning is obvious, may you pick more.

You can pick them one by one, and you can send them in pairs.

The Fan family was eager to build a few more lines besides the line of the Sixth Prince, especially Uncle Hirano, who was obviously on the same boat as the Sixth Prince.

The master's taste, not this.

taste?

The lord's literary talent is very high, if he is willing, he can go up and copy it now... No,

It is to do a few peerless poems.

But the Lord didn't, which proves that the Lord didn't like them.

oh.

He Chunlai nodded.

A Ming took another sip of the grape wine, and there was a bottle next to it, which was full of ice cubes, and the ice cubes were divided into many flavors, which was enough to show how delicate the life of the Fan family was.

There are so many types of alcoholic beverages. The Fan family is really rich.

I heard that the wedding of the sixth prince of Yanjing was revealed, but...

That's different. The Sixth Prince's money is not his own. It's his life money.

Oh, it sounds complicated.

Well, huh?

What?

Look below, who is here? If Chen Daole has a little discernment, he should be going out right now.

...

Chen Daole did go out after seeing her coming.

The visitor was wearing a white cloak and a red jacket, but they couldn't hide his fine figure.

While walking, it is bright and charming; the eyebrows are flowing, full of graceful and graceful.

This is a beauty who combines beauty, figure, and temperament, and the three are matched very harmoniously.

In Ah Ming's view, this woman is the first existence in this world that he has seen that can be compared to Siniang.

I can't say which one is more beautiful, because Si Niang doesn't have the tenderness and sadness between her brows, I can only say that there are two flowers blooming, each with its own elegance.

the most important is,

This woman should have been a married woman.

Sister Liu, won't you come and compose poems with us?

Yes, sister Liu, come on, let's be stubborn together.

Xiao'er has written a good poem, I'll read it to my sister later.

Known as Sister Liu, she smiled and said:

Girls are stubborn first. I am ordered by my grandmother to come here to ask my husband to give me advice on my condition.

Then sister Liu, hurry up, grandma's business is important.

Let's fight together later.

The woman gave a slight blessing, signaled a maidservant and a woman behind her to stand there and wait, then pushed open the door and walked in.

Before going in, her eyes turned slightly from Chen Daole who had just come out, and after seeing Chen Daole slightly bowed his head and took half a step back, she confirmed that this gentleman was not the real master.

The woman walked in,

At this time,

Uncle Zheng, who was standing at the window watching a group of little girls playing and having dinner, had already sat back on his chair, still holding a book in his hand.

Book, did not take it backwards.

at the same time,

Uncle Zheng put a red stone on the ground and stepped on it with his boots.

woman walks in

Seeing Zheng Fan,

at the same time,

Uncle Zheng also raised his head slowly and looked at her.

The woman immediately took two steps back in fright, this was not an act.

A woman's life is good, but life is hard. The good life is that she married into Fan's mansion early. The husband and wife were harmonious, but her husband died of illness shortly after marriage, and she became a widow. The sister-in-law loves her, the girls respect her, and she lives comfortably.

Bitter fate means that she is doomed to stay at the end of the bed, and she is doomed for a lifetime. At the same time, she has a brother from the same family by her side. She can live on her own, but in her capacity, it is somewhat difficult to support her brother from the same family. After all, a woman's marriage is like splashing water, and it is against the rules to use Fan's money to supplement her natal family, whether it is a folk or a wealthy family.

And women's fear,

It's not an act.

After all,

She was in her natal family when she was young, and later married into Fan's family. It has always been a gentle and rich and pleasant place, and a fallen leaf can cause melancholy;

Where have I seen a man like Zheng Fan.

Yes,

Mr. Hirano,

General Snow Customs,

Years of experience, step by step growth,

Uncle Zheng really has that kind of momentum of not being angry and arrogant now.

This is the cry of thousands of troops and horses, and it is piled up by the corpses of countless enemies.

Although it is not as good as Tian Wujing's demeanor when Zheng Fan first met Jingnan Hou, but the difference is not far away.

The most important thing is that the Marquis of Jingnan is unintentional and natural, and Uncle Zheng has more or less deliberately added it here.

The woman is a little scared,

Baby Teeth bit her lip.

Uncle Zheng restrained his urge to lick his lips,

In fact, this woman really has a charming charm that can be seductive with her gestures, as if she was born with a charming bone.

The Ke family at home is also good-looking, but he really doesn't have the attitude and expression of the woman in front of him.

Seeing her, you will immediately have the meaning of tenderness in your mind, which can transform thousands of strong.

You know, even Ah Ming, who was sitting on the roof, this vampire who was joked by the demon kings that he had no interest in women, acknowledged the beauty of this woman.

Uncle Zheng, it's normal to be a little tempted.

finally,

The woman stabilized her mind, gave Zheng Fan a little blessing,

The voice was still trembling,

road:

Fan Mansion's fourth house, Liu's family, Liu Ruqing, met uncle~

Uncle Zheng moved his body subconsciously,

road:

What do you call me?

Uncle hey~~~

Hiss... Zheng Fan.

The red stone under Zheng Fan's feet became restless, because he found this woman very threatening!

But Zheng Fan exerted strength with his feet and pressed it down forcibly.

at the same time,

Pretending to be indifferent:

did not hear clearly.

Liu Ruqing believed it to be true, but under Zheng Fan's gaze, she still trembled slightly uncontrollably.

He yelled again:

Uncle hey~~~~

The two shifts will resume tomorrow.

Good night.
