The happy life of a prodigal

Xiu'er walked over from the rouge shop, glanced at Lin Wanqing's slightly exposed collarbone, and pouted her little mouth.

"Who is this girl?"

Lin Wanqing looked at Xiu'er with a pair of eyes, and the smile on her face spread.

Xiu'er looked at her and said, "She is the young master's personal maid."

Lin Wanqing bowed slightly, performed a lady's salute, and said: "My slave, Lin Wanqing, haven't asked the girl's name yet."

When Xiu'er heard the name Lin Wanqing, she always felt a little familiar, she was slightly taken aback, and replied, "My name is Xiu'er."

Lin Wanqing smiled and said: "Ms. Xiu'er is handsome, lively and cute. Mr. Fang is lucky to have you by his side."

Reaching out without hitting the smiling face, Lin Wanqing's attitude did not change because of her explosive words before.

Xiu'er's impression of her also changed from "a vixen who seduced the young master" to "not too bad a vixen", she obediently stood behind Fang Xiu and stopped talking.

Xiu'er is still young, with a pure heart, so she is naturally not the opponent of Miss Wanqing, who has lived in the dusty place for a long time and is firmly seated at the top of Yirenju.

Fang Xiu sighed, looked at Xiu'er, and asked, "Where did Miss Zhao go?"

A trace of panic flashed across Xiu'er's face, she subconsciously glanced at the willow tree next to the rouge shop, hesitated, and said, "Miss Zhao is still in the rouge shop, Xiu'er came to find the young master first."

Fang Xiu and Lin Wanqing looked in the direction Xiu'er was looking at from the corner of their eyes at the same time.

Through the lantern on the top of the willow tree, a figure can be vaguely seen.

Lin Wanqing had a thoughtful look on her face, and said: "Since the slave family is acting affectionately, then the slave family will stop bothering the young master...Mr. Fang, see you by fate."

After she finished speaking, she bowed slightly, gave a lady's salute to Fang Xiu, then turned and left.

After a while, it disappeared in the dimly lit place.

Chapter 30 Not a Gentleman

It has to be said that Lin Wanqing is indeed a stunner, with every frown and smile she has a special flair.

If it was in the past, Fang Xiu would never be able to refuse so decisively.

Not long after Lin Wanqing left, Zhao Yan came from the direction of the rouge shop.

Arriving in front of Fang Xiu, looking at him with some doubts in his eyes, he asked, "Was that Miss Wanqing just now?"

Fang Xiu nodded.

Behind her, Xiu'er showed surprise on her face, and blurted out: "That fox...is the young master's Miss Wanqing?"

Zhao Yan looked thoughtfully at the direction of Lin Wanqing's departure, and murmured: "I see that you two don't seem to agree with each other as you said."

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in her mind, she seemed to have figured something out, looked up at Fang Xiu, with a dangerous light in her eyes, and said coldly: "You must have made up that story!"

Fang Xiu was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face, he looked up at the sky, and sighed involuntarily: "The moon is beautiful tonight... um... the moon is very bright..."

Zhao Yan stared at Fang Xiu with dangerous eyes, and continued: "Did you hear the news that His Majesty intends to bestow a marriage, so you deliberately made up the story with Miss Wanqing, in order to make His Majesty change his mind?"

This little girl is usually dull-headed, and she never uses her brain when encountering anything, and only thinks about solving problems violently.

Today, I just used my brain on this matter.

Although it's just a random guess without any basis, but I have to say...the guesses are all right!

Fang Xiu looked at the lantern hanging on the willow tree not far away, and said with a smile: "Xiu'er, look, how red is that lantern..."

Xiu'er followed his gaze.

The red paper on the outside of the lantern faded under the burning of the candle, and what appeared was a bright yellow color, not as the young master said...

She turned her head, looked at her young master, clutched the corner of her clothes, and whispered: "Master, is what Miss Zhao said true?"

This matter, if I don't give an explanation to the two girls, I can't escape.

Fang Xiu sighed, and said: "Actually, it's not all made up. Miss Wanqing and I did meet by the lake..."

He looked at Zhao Yan: "You were there that day, remember?"

Zhao Yan thought for a while, her expression changed, and she said, "That girl who fell into the water that day was Miss Wanqing?"

Fang Xiu nodded and said, "I only found out later."

Zhao Yan looked at Fang Xiu coldly, and asked, "What about the others?"

Fang Xiu thought for a while and said, "I don't know if you guys have read The Story of the West Chamber?"

Both Zhao Yan and Xiu'er shook their heads.

Fang Xiu smiled and said, "I haven't heard of it, I'll tell you some other day..."

Zhao Yan glared at him: "Don't try to get away with it!"

Fang Xiu said: "Is this young master like that?

……

By the way, there is a lantern riddle meeting in Chunfenglou, let's go and have a look first, we'll talk about these things on the way. "

Zhao Yan took two steps closer, stood in front of him, and whispered, "If you lie to me again, I'll tell Xiu'er about you pretending to be a female ghost."

At the time of the plan, she was the one who pretended to be the female ghost.

Seeing her pitiful appearance later, Fang Xiu changed his mind, put on women's clothes, and went to battle in person.

It's agreed, both of them will bury this matter in their hearts and never tell others.

Unexpectedly, in just a few days, she changed her mind.

Sure enough, the woman's words were unbelievable.

Fang Xiu leaned over to Zhao Yan's ear and whispered, "What did we say back then? It's not what a gentleman does..."

Zhao Yan's height just reached the position of Fang Xiu's shoulders, and Fang Xiu slightly attached himself to her ear.

In the cold first month, you can clearly feel the hot breath coming from the earlobe.

She blushed slightly, turned her head, and said, "I am a little girl, not a gentleman."

The ancient sages said that villains and women are difficult to raise, which is really true.

"Forget it, I don't care about you..."

Fang Xiu sighed, and took the lead to walk in the direction of Gujing Street.

On the way, while walking, he told them the story of The West Chamber. After a while, they reached the end of Gujing Street.

Unlike a few days ago, when Fang Xiu came to buy Chunfeng Building, it was bleak and desolate. Now Gujing Street is very lively.

Before entering the street, there was a group of people around the street alone, who were so noisy that they didn't know what they were doing.

Fang Xiu stopped involuntarily.

Beside, Zhao Yan and Xiu'er were fascinated by the story, when they saw him stop, they opened their mouths.

"What happened later? Did Zhang Sheng win the first prize in the exam? Did they get together in the end?"

"Master...why does mother Cui disagree with Yingying marrying Zhang Sheng..."

Fang Xiu shook his head and said, "I'll tell you later...Xiao Chun!"

Bai Xiaochun was still thinking 'where did the young master hear the story of Cui Yingying and Zhang Sheng'.

Hearing Fang Xiu's shout, he was stunned for a moment, and hurried forward: "Young master, what's the matter?"

Fang Xiu looked at the street blocked by the crowd and said, "Go ahead and see what happened."

"Yes, sir."

Bai Xiaochun hurried forward to inquire about the news.

Although he is fat and fat, his appearance is not vicious.

But it may be that he has been a dog's leg for a long time, and there is an inexplicable aura of 'don't get close to strangers' from his body.

In the crowd, as soon as they saw him, many people took the initiative to give up a gap.

Bai Xiaochun took advantage of this gap to walk into the crowd, and turned back after a few steps.

"Master, the front seems to be full of people who came to our Chunfenglou lantern riddle meeting."

He bowed and said to Hugh.

A trace of surprise appeared on Fang Xiu's face.

The popularity of this lantern riddle meeting was a bit beyond his expectation.

It seems that the power of ghosts and gods is still vulnerable to Yinzi.

Zhao Yan must have a deep understanding of this.

She stared blankly at the crowded street in front of her, with a puzzled expression on her face, and asked, "Two days ago, there was no one willing to come to this street? Why are there so many people today? How did you do it?" ?”

Fang Xiu smiled and said, "Have you ever heard a word?"

Zhao Yan looked at her and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Money can turn ghosts around..."

After Fang Xiu finished speaking, he strode forward.

Xiu'er and Bai Xiaochun naturally followed closely behind.

Zhao Yan was stunned on the spot by herself, thinking for a long time but still couldn't understand.

In just one day, how he brought a haunted street back to its former glory, and even made it even more bustling than before.

The longer she was with Fang Xiu, the more Zhao Yan felt that this person was unpredictable.

I often do things that are beyond common sense, but I can always find a solution.

For example, the rumors about the Zuihua Pavilion, and the incident of the female ghost in white that she personally participated in.

All of them saved the situation when it was almost impossible to break the situation.

Looking at Fang Xiu's back, Zhao Yan felt more and more that he was like a cloud of fog, making it difficult to see clearly and grasp...

Chapter 31 Lantern Riddles

"It's a bit too generous to actually give out 1000 taels of silver..."

At the edge of the crowd, a young man stretched his neck and said in disbelief.

Beside him, another man in a Confucian shirt answered, "If you knew who the owner behind this Chunfeng Building is, you wouldn't think so."

The young man looked at him, wondering, "Who is it?"

The other person smiled and said: "The master behind this Chunfeng Building is Fang Xiu, the prodigal son of the Fang family who is rumored to be insane."

When the young man heard the name 'Fang Xiu', his face was stunned, and he said: "So it's him, no wonder he's so generous, every time he guesses a lantern riddle correctly, he rewards ten taels of silver..."

"Lantern riddles... what lantern riddles?"

Zhao Yan heard the conversation between the two, looked at them with great interest, and asked.

Those two were having a good time chatting, and when they were interrupted by others, they were naturally displeased, and when they turned around and saw that the person who interrupted them was a woman, their eyes showed even more disdain.

One of them frowned and said in a low voice: "A woman, it's not easy to be born at home, take care of her husband and teach her children, why go out to hang out..."

Although his voice was low, it couldn't escape Zhao Yan's ears.

Her face darkened, and she looked at the person who spoke coldly: "What did you say? Do you dare to say it again!"

The man looked at Zhao Yan not to be outdone, and said with disdain: "It's okay to say it again, listen carefully..."

He paused, as if he remembered something, and said: "...forget it, you are a woman, I don't care about you, go home quickly."

Although Zhao Yan is a woman, she has been very interested in the swordsman Jianghu in the dialogue since she was a child, and what she hates most is to look down on women.

What happened to the woman?

Women can't hoe the strong and help the weak, can't fight for righteousness?

Who stipulates that women must stay at home, take care of their husbands and children, and be a bird in a cage...

The more Zhao Yan thought about it, the more annoyed she became, and finally couldn't hold back the anger in her heart, so she rushed forward.

According to her temperament, that person couldn't escape a severe beating.
