The happy life of a prodigal

The surname Zhao is the surname of the country today, and there are not a few nobles with the surname Zhao in the capital, and there are countless young ladies who hide in the deep boudoir.

It doesn't make sense to ask out, it's better to keep a mystery between each other like this.

At this moment, Zhao Yan was standing in front of Fang Xiu, her eyes were as red as Xiu'er who had just left, and tears could be faintly seen on her beautiful face.

Fang Xiu was startled, and asked, "Are you crying?"

There was a trace of panic on Zhao Yan's face, she turned her face away and said, "No."

Fang Xiu looked at her and said, "You are obviously crying."

The little girl's heart is sensitive and fragile, but she is born strong.

Xiu'er was like this just now, she was crying so hard she pretended she hadn't cried.

boom!

Zhao Yan stomped her feet violently, and a piece of the bluestone slab on the ground shattered.

She looked at Fang Xiu and said angrily, "I! No! Yes!"

No there is no.

fierce what fierce...

Fang Xiu shrank his head subconsciously, not daring to provoke her anymore.

Zhao Yan glanced at him and asked casually, "Is the story between you and Miss Wanqing true?"

Fang Xiu looked at her, thought for a while, and nodded: "Of course."

A trace of sadness flashed in Zhao Yan's eyes, which was happened to be seen by Fang Xiu.

He opened his mouth wide and stared at Zhao Yan, surprised.

This little girl won't really like herself!

Zhao Yan noticed Fang Xiu's eyes, glared at him, and said angrily, "What are you looking at!"

call--

Fang Xiu let out a long breath.

No girl would speak in such a tone to her sweetheart, it's okay...

After Zhao Yan finished yelling at Fang Xiu, she resumed her little girl attitude before, twitched for a long time, and asked, "Then do you hate Princess Anle?"

"what?"

Her words spanned too far, and Fang Xiu didn't react for a while.

Seeing that she showed signs of getting angry again, Fang Xiu hurriedly changed his words: "I don't hate you."

The anger on Zhao Yan's face disappeared instantly, she was startled, and asked, "Why?"

Fang Xiu thought for a while, and replied: "Because Her Royal Highness is just like me, but a poor person who has no right to choose."

The corners of Zhao Yan's mouth turned up slightly, and she whispered: "Who is like you..."

"What did you say?"

Her voice was too soft, Fang Xiu really couldn't hear her clearly this time.

Zhao Yan thought for a while, looked at him, and asked seriously: "I said, you really don't want to marry the princess?"

Fang Xiu sighed, and said: "Whatever you want, whatever you don't want, these things have never been up to us to decide. Born into a wealthy family, we have to bear certain responsibilities..."

He still didn't say the second half of this sentence, which is 'but I don't want to take this responsibility! '.

After listening to Fang Xiu's words, the gloom in Zhao Yan's eyes grew a bit more.

She bit her lower lip lightly, looked at Fang Xiu, and said, "But there must be a way, right?"

Now that things have come to this, Fang Xiu can already make a rough guess about her background...

This little girl must have escaped from the house after being forced into a marriage.

I would rather stay by the side of a well-known dandy in Kyoto than go home...

The person she is marrying with is probably worse than Zi...Wu Yi and others.

Fang Xiu couldn't bear to break her last hope, smiled, and said, "Everything has a solution, but no one has thought of it yet..."

Zhao Yan nodded, looking a little lost, and almost tripped over the threshold when she walked out of the yard.

Fang Xiu looked at her leaving back and shook his head.

There is no perfect law in the world.

To gain something means to lose more.

Escaping from marriage is actually not difficult. It is rare that after escaping from marriage, one can return to the family to live a life without worries.

This point, Zhao Yan will not fail to understand.

She came to ask herself, she just wanted to get some comfort from herself.

Can……

People always have to face reality.

…………

Being interrupted twice in a row, most of Fang Xiu's interest in basking in the sun was ruined.

He stood up, picked up a piece of red bean cake and stuffed it into his mouth.

Looking at the blue sky, thinking about how to change the emperor's mind.

The emperor chose him as his son-in-law, first because he was not as stubborn as Wu Yi and others, and second because he valued his status as the only son of Anping Bofu.

Some of them took the opportunity to show their favor to the generals in important towns.

So if you want to change the emperor's mind, it's not enough to pretend to be crazy.

Since ancient times, the emperor is the most ruthless, as long as there are enough interests, the possibility of him pushing his daughter to the fire pit cannot be ruled out.

Fang Xiu thought about it.

If after a while, the emperor still hadn't given up the idea of ​​choosing him as his son-in-law, he might as well go to the border gate to hide from the limelight.

With his status as the only son of Uncle Anping, he will definitely not encounter any danger.

Spend some time at the border, and then return to Kyoto, maybe the princess is already married...

"Master."

Fang Xiu was so engrossed in thinking that he didn't even notice when Bai Xiaochun came.

He glanced at Bai Xiaochun and asked, "What's the matter?"

Bai Xiaochun stood aside, bowed and said, "Master, the date of this year's Oiran Conference has been fixed."

Fang Xiu lay back on the rocking chair and asked casually, "When is it scheduled?"

Bai Xiaochun showed a characteristic flattering smile on his face, and said respectfully: "On the [-]th day of the Lunar New Year, the venue is Yirenju...just happens to be Miss Wanqing's venue."

In the capital, the love-hate entanglement between the young master of the Fang family and the number one Qing servant in Yirenju has been widely spread.

As the number one dog leg, Bai Xiaochun naturally did his homework.

He hastily took out a booklet from his arms, presented it to Fang Xiu with both hands, and said: "This is the seat for the oiran meeting, young master, please have a look."

Fang Xiu casually picked a seat near the front, and asked casually, "How did you go about what I ordered you?"

Bai Xiaochun hurriedly replied: "Young master, everything has been done, the story of the young master is wonderful, even if there is no money, those storytellers will try their best to tell it."

Fang Xiu waved his hand after listening.

Bai Xiaochun understood immediately and retreated slowly.

For a while, Fang Xiu was the only one left in the yard.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and a dead leaf fluttered down, adding a bit of bleakness...

Chapter 14 Yirenju

The first and fourteenth day of the Lunar New Year is the day when major brothels in the capital run for the oiran, also known as the oiran meeting.

Coincidentally, on Earth, this day is Valentine's Day in the West.

The Oiran Convention and Valentine's Day are naturally different in essence, but the content is similar.

It's all men who empty their wallets and only smile for the Pomeranians.

On this day alone, the brothel's business was comparable to the previous ten days and a half months.

For this reason, all major brothels are actively promoting and cooperating.

On weekdays, the seldom-seen young men came to the stage to perform, trying their best to win the title of oiran.

Of course, only these nobles are eligible to run for the oiran. Others who have lost their flowers and willows cannot attract the attention of the nobles.

At night, Yirenju, which hosted the conference, was very lively, and the lobby was full of seats.

There are women in gauze skirts dancing on the stage.

There was constant applause from the audience, no matter whether it was a tall man or a gentleman, they all stared at the stage without blinking.

When Fang Xiu came in, no one noticed him.

He randomly found a seat and sat down, closed his eyes and meditated.

Seeing this, Bai Xiaochun beside him also joined the army of appreciating the dance.

"When did you come?"

Suddenly someone patted on the shoulder, and Fang Xiu subconsciously looked back.

It's that guy Wu Yi.

With gauze wrapped on his head and a cane in his hand, it is really not easy to come to the brothel to join in the fun, physically and mentally disabled.

After Fang Xiu was overwhelmed with surprise, he was left with only admiration, and said, "Just arrived."

Seemingly noticing the look in his eyes, Wu Yi smiled awkwardly, and said, "Healing the wound is a small matter, but missing the annual Oiran Conference for this reason is a big matter... Don't talk about it, make room for me .”

After he finished speaking, he threw away his crutches, sat down next to Fang Xiu, and stared intently at the stage.

Fang Xiu curled his lips in disdain.

This guy is just so promising...

He shook his head and turned his gaze to the food on the table.

The seats they sat in were specially reserved by Yi Renju for dignitaries. Not to mention the spaciousness, there were melon and fruit snacks, tea and sake.

Tired of Fangfu's red bean cake, Yirenju's plum blossom cake tastes good.

Paired with the unnamed green tea in the pot, it tastes sweet and delicious.

"I heard that you sold the house for Miss Wanqing?"

Wu Yi drank a glass of wine, stared at the stage, and asked a casual question.

Fang Xiu nodded, with a firm expression on his face, and said, "If you can redeem Wanqing's freedom today, then you have to sell the few acres of land of my Fang family, so what's the point?"

Wu Yi looked at Fang Xiu in surprise, and asked suspiciously, "Really?"

"real."

Wu Yi shook his head and said, "I haven't seen you so dedicated before."

Fang Xiu sighed and said, "You don't understand, people will always change."

The change of men begins with women, the earth is like this, and so is Chu.

A flirtatious dude like Wu Yi has never truly loved anyone, so naturally he can't empathize with him.

"I understand you, you can't do things like squandering for beauty."

Wu Yi looked at Fang Xiu seriously, his eyes seemed to be shining with wisdom.

Just when Fang Xiu thought he had seen through his plan, he suddenly said, "You must want to run away with money while your father is away!"

Fang Xiu had complicated eyes, thought for a while, and said, "You are really... wise."
