The happy life of a prodigal

"You said, where does that old thing live?"

Fang Xiu walked on the road and asked impatiently.

Bai Xiaochun next to him was about to answer, but saw a few little maids rushing over in a hurry.

"Master Fang, Master Fang..."

"You are looking for me?"

Fang Xiu looked at those little maids and asked a question.

Those little maids stood in front of him and replied: "Yes, Mrs. Fang, Madam said that the master's illness is almost cured, and there is no need for Mrs. Fang's diagnosis and treatment.

The master is getting old and can't stand the toss, whether it is the acupuncture method or the poisonous Gu technique, it is absolutely impossible. "

Having said that, he paused, as if he ran too fast just now and couldn't breathe.

The little maid next to him continued: "Madam also said that if Mr. Fang wants to see the master, he can wait in the main hall for a while.

After the master takes a rest, he will come to see Mr. Fang soon. "

After Fang Xiu heard this, he nodded thoughtfully, but did not agree.

After a while, he raised his eyes, looked at the little maids, and asked, "Where does your master... live?"

The little maids obviously listened to the middle-aged woman's order, but none of them answered.

But the eyes don't lie.

In just a second, Fang Xiu knew the direction, smiled, and said: "Okay, I see, you go back, I will go back to the main hall..."

But the little maids shook their heads and said: "Forgive me, my lord, Madam has ordered us to lead you back to the main hall so that you don't get lost."

Fang Xiu nodded and said, "Okay, let's go."

After speaking, he put his hands behind his back and followed behind them.

only......

After walking for a while, he suddenly changed direction, took a stride, and dodged backwards, and the whole person ran wildly in one direction.

The little maids were all taken aback when they thought that the majestic inspector would actually use such a child's hide-and-seek tactic.

It took a full three or four seconds before he realized it, hurriedly chased after him, and shouted loudly: "Master Fang, Master Fang, you went wrong, the main hall is not there!"

Fang Xiu pretended not to hear, and ran straight in one direction. In just half a minute, he came to a long corridor.

Through the promenade, there is a secluded courtyard with a hut inside, which looks very rustic.

"Master Fang! Master Fang!"

Seeing this scene, the little maids were all terrified and shouted loudly.

Fang Xiu pushed open the door and walked in.

"what----"

Immediately afterwards, there was a crisp scream, and then a very clear 'Silver Thief'.

In the next second, Fang Xiu retreated from the room.

The little maids all stood where they were, staring at Fang Xiu in a daze, not knowing what to do.

"Cough cough..."

Fang Xiu pretended nothing happened, coughed twice, and said: "People have three urgencies, I don't know your family..."

Before I finished speaking, I saw a little maid crying: "Master Fang, you just have to go to the latrine and tell the slaves, why did you break into Miss's room..."

Fang Xiu was even more embarrassed when he heard this.

He thought this was the room of Mr. Zhou, but he never imagined that a young lady would appear out of nowhere.

and......

No matter how you look at this courtyard, it looks like a place where old men like to live. How could you imagine that a young girl of twenty-eight years old would live here.

Of course, he also knew that he had made a mistake in this matter, and he also knew that the best solution to this matter was to pretend to be confused.

So, he said, "Miss's room? I thought it was a hut, but after entering the room, I realized it wasn't, but I didn't see anyone either."

"..."

Hearing this, not only the little maids, but also Bai Xiaochun felt a little speechless.

They could hear the crisp 'Silver Thief' just now.

Does Master Fang really think they are deaf?

"Master Fang clearly just now..."

The little girl from before was about to speak with a crying voice, but was interrupted by another little girl: "Master Fang is right... This room is not occupied, and Master Fang will follow the servants back to the main hall Bar."

Chapter 552 You Are Young and Vigorous

After all, he did something wrong just now, and Fang Xiu was really embarrassed to run amok in other people's house again.

Hearing this, he obediently followed the little maid to the main hall.

"Master Fang, I finally found you..."

After such an incident, the middle-aged woman finally understood one thing, that is... this Mr. Fang has no similarities with those high-ranking 'adults' she has seen before.

In addition, it is... this Mr. Fang is not so easy to fool, and he always feels that there is something wrong with his brain, otherwise how could he do such a thing?

Fang Xiu ignored her, just nodded lightly, found a chair at random, and sat down.

At the same time, the scene I saw before was recalled in my mind.

In the winter, how can someone change clothes inside the house?

At this time, the middle-aged woman came to his side, poured a cup of tea for him, and said: "Master Fang is here for a while, this concubine will invite the master..."

After finishing speaking, as if he was afraid of staying and encountering all kinds of inexplicable things again, he hurriedly turned and left.

Fang Xiu sat on this chair and waited.

After a while, I saw a middle-aged woman walking slowly towards an old man with white hair.

It has to be said that this old man does have an inexplicable aura of a superior.

With a few steps away, he could feel the pressure.

Perhaps it was due to the hero's twilight years, but the pressure was much weaker than that of the old emperor.

Fang Xiu, who was used to seeing big scenes, naturally had no fear of such a dying old man.

Not even awe.

After all, if he could think of excuses for the magistrate, this old thing might not be a good thing.

"This is Mr. Fang, the envoy... He really is a young hero..."

The old man walked to the front seat, sat down slowly, looked at Fang Xiu, smiled and said softly.

Fang Xiu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Young heroes are not worthy of mention. Compared with Zhou Lao, they are still much worse."

When Mr. Zhou Ge heard these words, he almost didn't lose his temper.

It was the first time he had seen someone speak like that in front of him.

What is my identity? The previous chief minister of the cabinet, in the previous dynasty, was the prime minister, under one person, above ten thousand people.

Except for His Majesty and several Dukes, who in the court did not respect him extremely when he saw him?

Not to mention that he is a small envoy, even if he is a six-part minister, the Jiedu envoys from all over the world are trembling in front of him, as if walking on thin ice.

How can I be compared to him?

"Hmm... Master Fang is a guest at the Zhou Mansion this time, why?"

Thinking of this, Elder Zhou Ge's expression became a little colder, and he asked a question lightly.

At the beginning, he was already very uncomfortable when he heard Fang Xiu behaving mischievously in his mansion. At this moment, seeing his idle appearance, he was even more disgusted.

As everyone knows, when Fang Xiu saw him, he felt the same emotion.

At the beginning, I felt that this old thing was not a good thing, and it was even more so after meeting.

Fang Xiu looked at him, lay back, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then said: "Actually, I just want to take a look at Mr. Zhou. I wonder if Mr. Zhou is in good health?"

Hearing this sentence, Mr. Zhou Ge's expression softened a little, but his tone was still cold: "Thanks to the blessing of the Holy Spirit, although these years are not as tough as when I was younger, compared with those old friends, they are still good. .”

Could this have something to do with the emperor?

Fang Xiu was a little speechless, but he also knew that "Blessings from the Holy Spirit" was the favorite word of these retired officials.

He looked at Mr. Zhou Ge, as if he had thought of something, he leaned forward, with a rather mysterious expression on his face, and asked: "By the way, when I was in the capital, I learned some ways of keeping in good health with Yan Yu medicine." , I know some health-preserving techniques, I wonder if Mr. Zhou should give it a try?"

"Oh? What health preservation technique?"

Seeing his expression, Zhou Ge asked curiously.

The middle-aged woman standing behind him raised her brows when she heard Fang Xiu's words, and hurriedly interrupted: "The master pays great attention to the way of health preservation on weekdays, and the method of Yan Yuyi must be very good. But it may not be suitable for the master.

We understand Mr. Fang's heart, but... let's forget about this way of keeping in good health. "

When Mr. Zhou Ge heard the middle-aged woman speak, he frowned slightly and looked back at her.

Seeing this, the middle-aged woman took a step back and dared not speak.

Fang Xiu was actually just joking.

Although he was unhappy with Zhou Ge's old age, he didn't want to make things difficult for such a large number of old men, thinking about stabbing him all day long.

Therefore, he no longer beat around the bush, but said very bluntly: "Actually...the junior comes this time, and there is one more thing."

Hearing this sentence, Mr. Zhou Ge knew what he really wanted to say next, so he lay back, looked at Fang Xiu, and said, "Your Majesty Fang, just say it, this old man listens."

Fang Xiu was not polite anymore, and said directly: "This junior wants to tell Elder Zhou Ge that there is chaos in the court, and many things are not as they appear on the surface. As Elder Zhou, it is better not to get involved. as well."

Elder Zhou Ge thought that he was going to ask him about the prefect of Linze Prefecture, but he didn't expect to hear such a sentence.

It's really... you're not welcome at all.

Immediately, a rush of hot blood surged up, stuck in his throat, and he almost spit out blood out of anger.

This......

This......

Outrageous!

It's unreasonable for a junior to dare to speak such nonsense in front of him!

Elder Zhou Ge took a deep breath, and it took an unknown amount of time before he calmed down.

He raised his eyes, looked at Fang Xiu coldly, and after a long time, he said: "The old man has been away from the temple for a long time, and there is no reason to take care of the complicated affairs above the court.

Of course, the old man is not qualified to take care of it.

only......

The old man is not used to seeing someone bullying others and framing Zhongliang!

In any case, the old man was also a scholar of the cabinet back then, and he was in charge of the six departments. All affairs in the world, no matter how big or small, had to be handled by the old man.

The traitor, the sycophant, the old man also saw a lot.

People who are so heartless, do not understand etiquette, act recklessly with some power, completely disregard the overall situation, and only know about self-interest, when they come to Linze Mansion, where the old man returns to his hometown, he is not qualified, and the old man is not qualified. It must be taken care of! "

When Fang Xiu heard this, his expression didn't change in any way, but he sneered in his heart.

This old bastard, is he scolding himself?

Old Zhou Ge paused, glanced at Fang Xiu, but did not stop, and continued: "Of course, it is understandable to be young and energetic, I only hope that he can find his way back and correct himself as soon as possible.

Otherwise, even with this tottering body, the old man must go to Beijing to seek justice from the current Holy Majesty! "

Chapter 553 No one can keep him!

Fang Xiu looked at Elder Zhou Ge with a sense of 'I won't speak, just watch your performance quietly'.

Elder Zhou Ge also glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally, then smiled and said, "I don't know if Mr. Fang has anything else to say?"
