The happy life of a prodigal

After getting the accurate answer, the British Duke instantly felt an extremely depressed mood pervading his heart.

What is this brat! ?

This guy opened a restaurant, built a study room, changed Goulan into the so-called Beijing Normal University Theater... and other behaviors, although in his eyes, it is a low-level way.

It is understandable.

After all, how many people in the world don't like money?

Even if it is His Majesty, if the civil and military officials of the imperial court want to use the money in the inner treasury, it will be like cutting his heart.

What's more, he is a dude who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun on weekdays.

Of course, many things this dude has done these days have slightly changed his status in his mind.

But all this still can't change the fact that he is an ignorant dude.

only......

The British Duke couldn't figure it out.

What kind of kite is this guy doing?

What is he drawing?

Could it be that he had thought about it from the very beginning, and wanted to use this kite to do business.

Opening a new kite workshop in Jingshi Zhongzhong?

This...doesn't seem impossible.

Based on the British public's understanding of him, as long as he can earn money, what can't he do?

However, this method is a bit... wicked.

Fly kites twice in the capital city first to attract the attention of nobles, and then take the opportunity to launch a kite workshop and earn a lot of money.

Because of their children, the nobles in the capital had to spend a lot of money to buy some giant kites that were never used in daily life.

This is not the first time this kid has played this kind of routine.

Thinking of this, the British Duke's face became more and more ugly.

Even if a small kite is sold at a so-called sky-high price, the British government cannot afford it.

It's just that when I think of being cheated of my money by that kid Fang Xiu, I feel a little uncomfortable.

What's more, I am a British Duke, and in the capital, I am a highly respected person. If people know that I went to Fangfu to ask for a kite for a child, it would be better to let him ask His Majesty.

After thinking for a moment, the British Duke seemed to have thought of something, raised his eyes, looked at Xia Yixue in front of him, smiled on his face, and said with a smile: "Xue'er, I heard that these days, you and Fang... General Zhong Lang did a few things together, and caught a group of ruffians?"

Xia Yixue was slightly taken aback when she heard this.

Immediately, he guessed what his father was thinking almost instantly.

She wanted to refute, but she didn't know how to refute, after all, it was true.

She participated in several things at the beginning, and the most important one was to capture Yang Ming in the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of Rites and lock him into the Yamen of the Kyoto Prefecture. She went with Fang Xiu.

Many people in the capital witnessed this matter with their own eyes.

Even in the next few days, there was a rumor circulating among the dandies in the capital that Fang Xiu and the Great Devil Xia had come together.

That's why the Great Devil Xia ignored Fang Xiu's various behaviors, as if he didn't see him, and indulged him in various ways.

Of course, after Xia Yixue took people to Yirenju several times, this rumor disappeared and never appeared again.

However, this incident was remembered in the hearts of everyone.

Not only these dandies, but also the people in charge of their houses have heard about it more or less, and even for a moment, they thought that something was going to happen in the British government and Anpingbo's house.

This thought only appeared for a moment.

Based on their understanding of Xia Yixue, they all knew in their hearts that it was impossible for her to get together with a brazen person like Fang Xiu.

For this kind of person, Xia Yixue hates this kind of person more than anyone else, because with her personality and code of conduct, there is no way to deal with this kind of shameless person.

If it is an ordinary gangster, send one or two arresters to the dungeon of the Yamen of the Kyoto Prefecture, use some extraordinary means, and within half an hour, the problem will be solved.

But facing Fangxiu...

This method will not work.

Not to mention that he is the right feather Linwei Zuo Zhonglang general appointed by His Majesty, he is a real fifth rank, two rank higher than their leader Xia Yixue.

Even the Fang Mansion behind him and the guards under him who stepped down from the battlefield are not something a few small police officers can deal with.

Therefore, if there is a person in the capital who Xia Yixue hates the most and who is the most helpless against him, that person's name must be Fang Xiu!

Chapter 248 The Big Bang

The Duke of England obviously knew about this too. Seeing the change in the expression on his precious daughter's face, he immediately changed his mind and said, "Forget it, you don't have to worry about this matter. Since Run'er wants a kite, and Dad has agreed, let's go." I will never break my promise.

Father will enter the palace tomorrow to beg His Majesty, that boy Fang Xiu may not give him face, but he will still give His Majesty's face. "

The dignified British Duke, in the face of a boy who has not yet reached the crown, would say such words, if others heard it, he would not help but feel a burst of embarrassment.

It's not that the British Duke is afraid of Fang Xiu, or anything else, it's just that he doesn't want to have too much contact with Fang Xiu.

As the saying goes, villains are hard to guard against.

In the eyes of most of the capital, Fang Xiu is an out-and-out villain, or to put it another way, he is the representative of the word villain.

Think about King Ning, think about King Kang, think about Yang Zheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites...

These people, no matter their status or influence above the court, are not weaker than the British Duke, and they have come to this point.

With so many lessons learned before us, the British government has its own sense of what to do.

When Xia Yixue heard this, she raised her eyes and glanced at Mr. Ying, the expression on her pretty face became a little strange.

In her memory, it was the first time that her father showed such a helpless expression when faced with a matter.

A pensive expression appeared on her face, and after a while, she looked at her father and said, "It will be Run'er's birthday in a few days, and as his aunt, my daughter hasn't prepared any gifts yet.

Let my daughter make this kite, and treat it as a birthday present for Run'er. "

Hearing this, the British Duke frowned and smiled.

Although he said he was going to ask His Majesty, it was still a bit difficult to talk about this matter anyway.

For such a trivial matter, he went to the palace to face the saint, maybe His Majesty would not find anything strange, and would not take this matter to heart.

But the British Duke himself felt that it was not suitable.

However, if he was allowed to condescend to meet his junior because of this kite, he would feel really shameless.

As for the other method... that is to let Fang Xiu deliver the kite to Fang's mansion by himself.

No need to think about it, Duke Ying knew that with Fang Xiu's character, no matter how much money he paid, there was not much possibility.

However, he was not so relieved to let his daughter go to Fangfu.

After all, the Fang Mansion is a well-known villain, if he has any unreasonable thoughts about Xue'er...

There seems to be no way.

I still know my own daughter very well.

With Xia Yixue's strength, even the top experts in the world cannot force her to stay.

And the top masters in the world are either cultivating in the deep mountains and old forests, or they are sitting in the sect to prevent the enemy from coming.

Or the palace and the grassland, guarding His Majesty and the Khan of the Qiyan Department.

Those who will appear in Fangfu can only be regarded as first-class masters at most, and first-class masters may not be able to completely defeat their daughter, let alone keep her with force.

"Xue'er, I have wronged you in this matter..."

After thinking for a moment, the British Duke raised his eyes, looked at his precious daughter, and said these words in a heavy tone.

It was as if Xia Yixue was not asked to go to Fang Mansion to ask for a kite, but to send her to the wolf's den and tiger's den.

Seeing this scene, Xia Yixue also felt a little funny.

She is very familiar with Fang Xiu.

Perhaps, when we met for the first time, I was not very familiar with him, I just thought that he had some wisdom that others could not imagine, not the brain disease that everyone said...

However, with the next few meetings, she understood one thing.

That is, Fang Xiu's so-called wisdom is actually more about his shamelessness and his unrestrained imagination... that's all.

Although...there may be only one such person in the world, Fang Xiu.

Xia Yixue was still very disdainful.

"Father, my daughter still has something to do, so I'm leaving first."

A smile appeared on Xia Yixue's pretty face, she looked at her father, bowed slightly, saluted, turned and left the British residence.

Although she just came back, as soon as this kite appeared, those idle hooligans in the capital would definitely take advantage of the chaos to reap some benefits.

At this time, the arresters in the Kyoto government office must not be able to take care of them. As the head arrester of the Kyoto government office, she will naturally set an example and go back to lead the overall situation.

Seeing such a smile on his precious daughter's face, Yingying didn't know what to think, his eyes became a little moist, he stood in place, watching Xia Yixue's back, gradually disappearing at the end of the rockery.

I don't know how long it took, the British Duke came back to reality from the trance, and the old butler with gray hair next to him called out: "Grandpa."

Only then did the British Duke come back to his senses completely, glanced at the old butler, as if thinking of something, leaned over to his ear, and whispered a few words.

The old butler listened carefully to Duke Ying's orders. After a while, his expression became a little strange. He subconsciously glanced at the direction Xia Yixue left, nodded respectfully and said, "I understand, so I'll send someone to do it."

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

In a suburban garden.

The sky is getting darker, and in the distant direction, there is a sunset glow, reflecting the whole land golden.

The evening sun shone on Zhao Yan's body, making her look extraordinarily out of the ordinary.

After a while, Zhao Yan looked away from the kite in the sky.

She put her eyes on Fang Xiu, and there seemed to be something shining in the sockets of her eyes.

She just looked at Fang Xiu like this for an unknown amount of time.

Fang Xiu just noticed this scene, turned his head, glanced at Zhao Yan, the expression on his face became a little strange, touched his face, and asked: "What's wrong?"

Zhao Yan opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but she still didn't say it, she just shook her head lightly, and said casually, "It's nothing."

"What is nothing?"

At this time, Zhao Hao suddenly raised his small face, looked between Zhao Yan and Fang Xiu, then looked at his sister Huang, and asked with a smile.

When Zhao Yan heard this, she gave Zhao Hao an angry look and ignored her.

When Zhao Hao saw this scene, a smile appeared on his childish face, and he didn't ask any more questions. He just raised his eyes, looked at his master, and asked in a childish tone: "Master, it's getting dark, can we go back?" ?”

Fang Xiu stretched out his hand, touched Zhao Hao's small head, and said with a smile, "Let's go back now."

After finishing speaking, he raised his eyes and glanced at the capital city, thought for a while, then turned his head and told Bai Xiaochun: "Xiaochun, prepare the carriage, let's go back."

"Yes, sir."

Bai Xiaochun stood not far behind Fang Xiu, saluted respectfully, and replied.

However, as soon as his words fell, there was a loud noise in the distance...

Chapter 249 Fireworks

At first glance, the loud noise came from the city of Kyoto, but if you think about it carefully, you know that the loud noise should come from the city of Kyoto and the suburbs.

Zhao Yan, Zhao Hao, and Fang Xiu turned their heads to look at the same time, only to see a brilliant meteor-like firework rising into the sky not far away, and then straight into the sky.

Accompanied by a loud noise, it bloomed in the sky, and then, there was a burst of incomparably gorgeous fireworks, which was almost indescribable in words.

The entire sky was reflected in white.

Even though the sky has darkened, under the reflection of this giant fireworks, it looks like daytime.

All of a sudden, all the people in the capital raised their heads and looked at the gorgeous fireworks in the sky.

The entire city of Kyoto was overwhelmed by admiration and exclamation.
