The happy life of a prodigal

He thought for a while, looked at some bamboo and paper that had been put away, and replied, "No problem."

Seeing that he agreed, a smile appeared on Zhao Yan's pretty face, and she was considering whether to say thank you or something, when she heard him continue: "You are innocent, 1000 taels each..."

Zhao Yan's face darkened immediately, and just when she was about to get angry, she heard Fang Xiu say again: "But this time it happens to be your birthday, so I will make one for you for free as a birthday present, how about it? "

When Zhao Yan heard this, her complexion became better.

However, I still feel a little uncomfortable.

Seeing her appearance, Fang Xiu thought for a while and asked, "Tomorrow, do you have any free time?"

Zhao Yan glanced at Fang Xiu, and asked angrily, "What's the matter?"

Fang Xiu pointed to the kite that was still floating in the sky, and said, "Tomorrow I plan to go out for an outing. If you are free, come together?"

When Zhao Yan heard this, a smile appeared on her face, she thought for a while, and said, "When?"

Fang Xiu replied: "Tomorrow at noon, we will gather in front of Fangfu's gate and take a carriage to the suburbs together. Tonight, I will make the kite and take it to the suburbs together tomorrow."

"Okay, then I'll go back first..."

It was rare for Zhao Yan not to stay for a meal. After nodding her head, she turned around and walked towards the gate of the courtyard without hesitation.

When he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he turned around and smiled at Fang Xiu, and said lightly: "Tomorrow is noon, don't forget."

After speaking, he left Fangfu.

Fang Xiu watched her leave the yard, slightly surprised, as if he did not expect her to leave so decisively.

In addition, he always had an inexplicable feeling that Zhao Yan seemed to be a little different from before for some reason.

If it were in the past, it would be common for him to treat her like this, scold her, or even come up and kick her.

Moreover, at that time, she was not guarded by that old woman with strong martial arts, so she was so arrogant.

Now, with that old woman with strong martial arts guarding her side, and her own kung fu has improved a lot compared to before, she is not as arrogant or aggressive as before...

Really weird.

Could it be because of the recent prairie marriage incident that affected her character?

It always felt a little unlikely.

After all, marriage is really nothing to Zhao Yan.

Fang Xiu still knew Zhao Yan very well.

Not to mention that neither His Majesty nor the imperial court approve of marriage with the Qiyan tribe in the grassland.

Even if His Majesty and the entire court are in favor of the marriage with the Qiyan Department, she will definitely not pay attention to it, and at most it will be staged an escaped marriage.

After all, it's not like she hasn't done this kind of thing.

Although there is an old woman with strong martial arts beside her, it is not a big problem for the scheming or clever Zhao Yan.

After thinking for a long time, I didn't figure out the key point.

Fang Xiu shook his head, and simply ignored it. Instead, he assembled the materials he had prepared to make a kite before, laid them on the ground, and prepared to make another kite.

It took Fang Xiu almost an hour to make the kite back then.

Of course, that was without much experience before, but now I have succeeded once and accumulated a certain amount of experience.

To Fang Xiu, this kind of work is really nothing.

It only took about a stick of incense to build the kite's support, and then spread the kite-specific paper.

At the same time, Xiu'er had already brought the Four Treasures of the Study from Uncle Anping's house, and was quietly studying ink.

When the paper was completely fused with the kite's support, Xiu'er had ground the ink and handed it to Fang Xiu's side.

Although drawing stick figures with a brush is not as easy as using charcoal.

But during this period of time, after all, people who are studying the Four Books and Five Classics hard, and are preparing to participate in the Qiu Wei, are not as comfortable with the use of brushes, but they are not as cautious as before.

Fang Xiu picked up the brush, looked at the paper, conceived in his mind for a moment, and a picture suddenly appeared in his mind.

After thinking for about half a stick of incense, Fang Xiu began to paint on the paper.

A series of simple lines gradually outline the image of a heroine who eliminates tyranny and makes a good man.

A handsome female hero, holding a sword in her hand, is standing by the river, looking into the distance.

The image is vivid, as if it is a picture that really existed.

In fact, this image is the one left by Zhao Yan when Fang Xiu and Zhao Yan met for the first time.

Of course, Zhao Yan at that time was not as chic as in the painting.

I still remember that at that time, Zhao Yan was preparing to fight for justice and get rid of 'Fang' Anliang, and then she was sanctioned by Fang's guards.

In just one round, someone put a knife on his neck.

Fang Xiu felt that this little girl was really stupid at the time, but after such a long time, thinking about it now, she actually felt that she was a little silly and cute.

After all, not everyone has the courage to stand out from the crowd and stand up for a woman they have never met before facing such a situation.

From this point of view, Zhao Yan still has many advantages over other women.

Of course, it would be more perfect if it could be more gentle.

However, Zhao Yan who has become gentle, is she still Zhao Yan?

Time passed by every minute and every second, and in about half an hour, the stick figure on the kite was finally completed.

Fang Xiu looked at the kite that he spent a lot of effort to make, and he couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction.

If this kite is floating in the sky above the capital, it will probably not attract less attention than the so-called 'pig-headed son'...

Chapter 243 Autumn

The kite was completely finished, and the sky was getting dark.

Fang Xiu took a last look at the kite and found nothing wrong, so he went into the room and lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

A ray of bright moonlight passed through the window and shone into the house, making it look very peaceful and peaceful.

Early the next morning, Fang Xiu was awakened by a knock on the door, opened his eyes, frowned, looked outside the door, and asked angrily, "Who is it?"

As Fang Xiu expected, Princess Zhao's voice came from outside the door: "Fang Xiu, you promised to make a kite for this princess, why are you still awake so late!?"

Fang Xiu was a little unhappy when he heard this.

Get up, push open the door, walk in front of Zhao Yan, look at her, reach out and point to the yard, and said angrily, "Didn't you see such a big kite here?"

Zhao Yan looked back, only to find that there was really a huge kite lying there quietly in the middle of the yard, but the back was facing up, and there was no picture, so she didn't see it when she entered the backyard just now.

When she found the kite, a blush appeared on her face.

Although she didn't know the process and process of making a kite, she knew in her heart that making such a big kite was definitely not an easy task just by looking at the kite.

It was almost dusk when I left Fangfu yesterday.

Early this morning, the kite was ready.

If Fang Xiu hadn't made one in advance and didn't take it out until now, there would only be one possibility left for a long time.

This kite was driven out by Fang Xiu overnight...

So, he must have been very sleepy just now, and wanted to sleep peacefully, but he was woken up by himself before he slept for a while?

Thinking of this, Zhao Yan showed a look of guilt on her face, she slowly lowered her head, and whispered in a weak mosquito voice, "I'm sorry..."

Although her voice was very low, Yi Fangxiu's ears could still hear it very clearly.

Fang Xiu glanced at Zhao Yan in surprise, apparently he did not expect her to apologize to him.

Having known her for such a long time, no matter what happened, this Miss Zhao always looked so delicate and savage, never had she behaved like this before.

Is this still the Zhao Yan I know, Princess Zhao?

After a while, Zhao Yan raised her eyes and saw Fang Xiu's eyes, with a look of embarrassment on her face, stomped her feet, and said angrily, "What are you looking at, haven't you seen a beauty?"

Hearing this, Fang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.

This is Princess Zhao...

"I've seen a lot of beauties, but this is the first time I've seen a tigress."

Fang Xiu looked at Zhao Yan, with a hint of teasing in his eyes, and said.

In the next second, Zhao Yan, who had become a little gentle before, suddenly turned cold.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xiu felt a 'thump' in his heart, and suddenly felt that the whole person was not well, subconsciously took a step back, stretched out his hand, and hurriedly said: "I was wrong!"

Before the words finished, Zhao Yan had rushed to Fang Xiu's side.

In the next second, shrill screams resounded throughout Fang Mansion.

............

Before Concubine Shu entered the palace, she was also a wealthy family in the capital and had a garden in the suburbs.

Ever since Concubine Shu became the concubine of Emperor Chu and gave birth to a princess and a prince for Emperor Chu.

No one could enter this garden anymore, and it was used as a place for Concubine Shu and His Royal Highness the Prince and Princess to go out of the palace to play.

Last time, Fang Xiu didn't see the sign of 'Private Garden', so he entered this garden by mistake, and got to know Zhao Hao.

By chance, he was recognized as an apprentice.

Although the next day was Zhao Yan's birthday, but couldn't bear Zhao Yan's soft-heartedness, Chu Huang and Concubine Shu agreed that she would take Zhao Hao out of the palace for a tour.

Of course, it was not mentioned with Emperor Chu, but with Fang Xiu.

At noon, it was almost autumn, the weather was much cooler, and the sun was no longer as fierce as before.

The air exudes the aroma of sweet-scented osmanthus, fresh and pleasant.

Zhao Yan, Xiu'er, and Fang Xiu sat on the ground, playing Dou Di Zhu, which they haven't played for a long time.

Zhao Hao, on the other hand, circled the kite, looked and looked, observed it countless times, and seemed to be wondering why such a big thing could fly so high in the sky.

Bai Xiaochun lit a fire not far away, preparing the ingredients to be grilled.

If you look carefully, you can also see faint figures shaking in the nearby grass and woods.

It was the pro-army guarding Her Royal Highness the Princess and His Royal Highness the Prince.

After all, it was allowed by the Emperor Chu to leave the palace. Naturally, it is impossible that only Zhao Yan and Zhao Hao, half of the Habayashi Guards, came to this garden to guard the garden.

"fry!"

In the quiet garden, a voice suddenly sounded.

Zhao Yan looked at Xiu'er and Fang Xiu excitedly, and seeing that neither of them responded, she happily threw the last bamboo card in her hand on the ground, and said loudly: "I won, give me the silver, give me the silver!" !"

Seeing this scene, Fang Xiu always felt a little helpless, reached out and took out a two-cent copper plate from his bosom, and placed it in front of Zhao Yan.

I don't know how to do it, I played several games today, and the winners are always Zhao Yan and Xiu'er.

And he seemed to be hit by some 'unlucky' buff. From the beginning to the end, he never had a good card, and the biggest card was Ace.

Unlike Zhao Yan and Xiu'er, who took turns to win.

After playing a few more rounds, the final result, without any surprise, ended in Fang Xiu's failure.

Finally, as if resigned to his fate, he spread his hands and said helplessly, "I'm hungry, let's eat first."

"no!"

Zhao Yan was having a good time, when she heard this, she was a little unhappy, glanced at Fang Xiu, and said, "My princess is not hungry yet..."

Hearing this, Fang Xiu looked at Zhao Yan and said, "Whether you're hungry or not has nothing to do with me. I'm hungry, so I'll eat by myself."

After finishing speaking, he stood up, walked towards Bai Xiaochun's direction, and left a sentence: "If you don't come to eat, maybe you won't be there later."

When Zhao Yan heard this, she seemed to be thinking of something, she stood up reluctantly, ran towards Bai Xiaochun's direction, and when she overtook Fang Xiu on the way, she turned her head and made a face at him.

Xiu'er followed Fang Xiu quietly.

Compared with the last outing, there were two more people this time, and the atmosphere was much more active.

Moreover, based on the previous experience, the barbecue used in this barbecue was marinated several days in advance.

As soon as the grill was put on the grill, there was a 'sizzling' sound, followed by a tempting aroma.
