Happiness Consist in Contentment

"However, the two brothers have disagreements on whether the eldest princess can become the heir.

Brother Fang said: 'The eldest princess is worthy of the crown prince. ’

Brother Zhang said: 'The position of the crown prince is an important matter of the country, and it needs to be decided by the court adults and the sage. ’

Is it or is it not? "

Fang Cheng and Zhang Ming nodded, "Exactly."

Yang An smiled, "Then I don't understand: the eldest princess is indeed talented and virtuous, and is worthy of the prince, and the matter of the prince is indeed a major matter of the country. Of course, it is decided by the court ministers and the emperor. What are the two brothers for? And what about disputes?"

Fang Cheng, Zhang Ming: …

Crowd: …

Yeah, why is that?

Everyone is stunned!

An He covered his mouth and leaned against Liu Fang's shoulder. His whole body was shaking. Liu Fang was stunned for a while before he could react, and at the same time he was holding back a smile.

This person's words are too straightforward, and he is in the middle of the sentence, to the core, and even turned the original topic to the other side.

Talent!

It took a while for someone to "pu chi" and laugh, and the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed and happy.

Even if Fang Cheng wanted to provoke an argument, he couldn't, so he had no choice but to say: "It's clearly what Brother Zhang said himself, let's not discuss the matter of the prince, and I'm not optimistic about the eldest princess as the prince, so I refute him."

Zhang Ming replied indifferently: "I have never said that the eldest princess is not worthy of being the prince."

Fang Cheng snorted coldly, "But that's what you meant."

Seeing that Yang An was about to quarrel again, he quickly cupped his hands and said, "Who else in the world is dissatisfied with the talent of the eldest princess? Brother Fang, you are overthinking it."

Fang Cheng glanced at Yang An and replied indifferently, "Forget it, it's been too long since you've been in the lake today, and it's getting late, so I'll say goodbye first!"

Yang An smiled slightly, stood indifferently, and saluted, "So, Brother Fang, walk slowly."

Fang Cheng took a deep look at Yang An, turned around and walked away.

Zhang Ming shook his head, "This brother Fang is really..."

Yang An smiled silently.

A tense debate ended, and everyone resumed their relaxed attitude of playing and enjoying the scenery.

Several students came to Yang An to chat with him. They were all amazed by the fact that he ended the heart-pounding debate in just a few words, and they came to interact with him with admiration.

An He and Liu Fang followed the other ladies while walking and talking.

"The white-clothed scholar was really amazing just now, and in just a few words, the mad student surnamed Fang was sent away."

for

As far as ladies are concerned, Fang Cheng is the representative of madness.

An He took this seriously and said to Liu Fang, "Why didn't my mother choose that person? Didn't he come to Kyoto to take the exam?"

Liu Fang thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "Probably so. Otherwise, my mother wouldn't choose him."

An He nodded, "That's right. Your mother loves you so much. If he is also a candidate for this spring festival, his mother will definitely put him on the roster."

Liu Fang smiled.

...

After returning home in the evening, they went to greet Mrs. Liu Guogong, and An He also talked about it.

After hearing about it, Mrs. Liu Guogong glanced at Liu Fang, and then asked An He to go back first, leaving Liu Fang alone.

Before leaving, An He winked with Liu Fang, but Liu Fang was not angry, so she could only give her an angry look.

Mrs. Liu Guogong ignored the private eyebrow lawsuit between the two of them, and only asked her: "You go today, will you gain anything?"

Liu Fang shook her head, "Of course the person my mother took pains to choose is good, but it doesn't match me."

Mrs. Liu Guogong nodded and didn't ask her why, she didn't like it anyway, that was enough.

"Then, what about the scholar in white that An He said just now? The one called Yang An."

Liu Fang was stunned, "Mother?"

Mrs. Liu Guogong smiled and said to her: "You don't have to worry about it. I just asked, you have seen him, and you know how he looks like.

Judging from An He's words, looking at his actions today, he must be a man with a chasm in his heart, no matter whether he intends to pursue a career in the future, or what his status is, at least one thing: he is reliable in character and stable in behavior.

For me, of course I want you to have a safe life in the future. This way I can worry less and be less burdened.

In this case, is a person who has a brain, is stable enough, and understands the sense of proportion better than other people? "

Liu Fang nodded, "Mother said yes."

Mrs. Liu Guogong smiled and said: "Okay, you can go back. I'm tired from playing for a day today, so take a rest early. As for that Yang An, don't worry, I'm here, I won't let you suffer. "

"Thank you mother, I'm tired of my mother, and my daughter will retire."

"Well, come back."

"Here."

Liu Fang got up and saluted, and then returned to her courtyard, washing up and resting without saying a word.

...

Besides Yang An, after returning home from the lake, he went to the neighbor's house to pick up his sister, ordered the servants to take care of the sister to wash, and coaxed her to sleep before he went back to the room to wash and rest.

Just lay down but didn't fall asleep immediately.

He couldn't help thinking of her:

In the crowd, they were dressed in pink and blue brocade clothes, with black hair in a bun, embellished with one or two jade hairpins, and long jade drop water droplets on their earrings. memorable.

There may be more beautiful women and more noble ladies beside her, but he can still see her at a glance, only her.

Just because of her inexplicable attractiveness, her attitude made him unforgettable at first sight, and goodbye fell into his heart.

He didn't know her name, only knew that she was of noble birth, not that he could match her, but he still had her in his heart, even if he told himself over and over again: impossible, impossible. She is still there.

Yang An also felt strange.

His parents died when he was young, but he was actually very cold. Except for his only relative, his younger sister Yang Hui, he would never have any touch or any affection for a stranger.

Even if it is a roadside beggar, the first thing he thinks when he sees it is: Is she/he really so miserable?

The so-called compassion and pity, in his heart, little pitiful.

But she is different. totally different.

Like magic, it attracted him to pay attention to her and think about her!

That's ridiculous!

Yang An covered her eyes and smiled bitterly, why did she become so impulsive? So unreasonable?

He had already seen her slap people flying, causing a young boy to vomit blood, and he still thought she was beautiful, she was very good, as if he had been slapped by a gu!

How crazy!

If she is as beautiful as a fairy, there is reason to be found, but she is obviously not that beautiful!

Just today, when she was swimming in the lake, there were five or six people around her who were more beautiful than her, but he was like a ghost, so he could only see her, and no one else could see it. This is also illogical and unreasonable. said.

Yang An wondered if he could see her again. She was probably approaching her age, so she was about to get engaged, right? Maybe she's already engaged?

Omg! Enough, Yang An! You can't think any more!

You still don't know what kind of person she is, what kind of temperament she is, what kind of character she is, you just think that there are some of these.

Enough!

Yang An patted his forehead and struggled with the thoughts in his mind until he finally found that it was useless.

Anyway, it is impossible for a poor student like him to have anything to do with her, so why bother.

...

Mrs. Liu Guogong's efficiency is still very high, it should be said

, the servants of Liu Guogong's mansion are very efficient.

Early the next morning, Liu Fang was still eating breakfast, and Yang An's life was in the hands of Mrs. Liu Guogong.

"Go, ask the eighteen girls to come over."

"Here."

Orphanage

Liu Fang raised her eyebrows and looked at Cui Ru who came to invite her with a teacup, "Mother invited me over?"

"Yes, girl."

Cui Ru was respectful and stood with her head bowed.

Liu Fang nodded, "Okay, I'll come after I change my clothes."

"Here."

Shu Mo waited on Liu Fang to rinse his mouth and clean his hands, then changed his clothes, and said, "Miss, why did Madam invite you over so early in the morning?"

Liu Fang thought about it and said, "It should be something."

Shu Mo nodded, tidying up her hair bun and dress, "Girl, this servant will accompany you over there."

"it is good."

When the two masters and servants arrived at the main courtyard, Mrs. Liu Guogong was dealing with housework. She said to Liu Fang, who greeted Liu Fang, "Sit down, let's take a look at their investigation first."

Liu Fang nodded, sat aside, took the paper that Cuizhen handed over, and opened it to take a closer look.

Yang An, a native of Kyoto, a sixteen-year-old scholar, a nineteen-year-old scholar in Jinwen, lives in Xiwenjia Lane, the outer city of Kyoto, with both parents dead, and only a seventeen-year-old younger sister at home.

There is a shop in the west of the outer city, a field of 500 acres, three servants, and a house with two entrances.

I have a good character, no bad behavior, mediocre literary talent, stable behavior, and quite a means. There is no concubines in the family, no marriage or marriage, and no close female relatives.

- The above is what the servants of the state government returned from the investigation, about the origin of Yang An's life.

Liu Fang raised her eyebrows: "Good character" yet "very skillful", this word is really talented!

The government is indeed full of talents!

Mrs. Liu Guogong waved her hand and told the servants to go down, took the tea cup that Cuizhen handed over, took a sip, leaned on the soft couch, and said to Liu Fang, "How is it? Are you still satisfied?"

Liu Fang nodded, "Mother, this person is very nice."

Mrs. Liu Guogong didn't expect that, she put down the tea cup, "How do you say?"

Liu Fang smiled slightly, folded the paper in his hand, and handed it to Mrs. Liu Guogong, and then said: "Mother, look. This person was only nine years old when his mother died of dystocia, and then his father suffered an accident and also died. But he was able to keep his family property without the protection of his relatives, and he could also protect his younger sister to grow up safely, so he could be called 'superbly intelligent', right?"
