The happy life of a prodigal

Fang Xiu felt the trembling delicate body in his arms, looked at the beautiful face with pear blossoms and rain, and was a little confused.

What's going on here?

At this time, a figure walked into the courtyard door.

Wu Yi stared blankly at the scene in front of him, with an embarrassing expression on his face, and retreated again.

A moment later, a figure suddenly rushed to Fang Xiu, stared at him with strange eyes, and asked in surprise, "It's really you?"

The mood of the girl in her arms calmed down a bit, and her pretty face turned red when she saw an outsider present.

Subconsciously buried his little head in Fang Xiu's arms, but his hands hugged him even tighter, as if he had exhausted all his strength.

When Fang Xiu heard Wu Yi's words, a row of black lines appeared on his forehead, and he said angrily: "This is Fangfu, if it's not me, who else could it be?"

Wu Yi looked excited. He wanted to give Fang Xiu a bear hug, but he just patted him on the shoulder and asked doubtfully, "Didn't you be taken into the prison by the imperial army?"

Tianlao is a prison directly controlled by the imperial court.

Generally, only those who committed such heinous crimes as treason could be imprisoned.

"Who did you hear?"

Fang Xiu asked.

Wu Yi turned his head and looked behind him.

At the gate of the courtyard, Bai Xiaochun shrank his head and defended in a low voice: "The young one also heard from the eunuch who passed the edict in the palace."

"None of that matter."

Wu Yi looked at Fang Xiu and said, "As long as you're fine."

Seeing that there were more and more people in the yard, Xiu'er gently broke free from her arms, lowered her head, her pretty face flushed.

Standing behind Fang Xiu, he tightly grabbed the corner of his clothes and refused to let go.

The inner city of the imperial palace is very far away from Fangfu. After walking for nearly half an hour, Fang Xiu's mouth was already parched. He picked up the teacup on the stone table and took a sip.

Then he asked, "You came here just for this matter?"

Wu Yi sat down carelessly, and said, "I'm here too, and I didn't know that you were...by the way, where did you go just now?"

"Just now......"

Fang Xiu was halfway through his speech, then he realized that it would be inappropriate for him to say that he was discussing national policy with the emperor in the palace just now, so he said instead: "Just now I went for a walk in the south of the city."

Wu Yi showed doubts on his face: "But I heard from your servant that the palace sent someone to deliver the decree."

Fang Xiu said helplessly: "Then I said, I will discuss state affairs with His Majesty in the palace, do you believe it?"

Wu Yi shook his head resolutely, and vowed: "If you can discuss state affairs with His Majesty, wouldn't I be able to lead troops to fight on the grasslands?"

Fang Xiu glared at him: "No matter how bad I am, I'm better than you."

Hearing this, Wu Yi showed a smug smile and said, "I came to you just to tell you... from now on, I'm going to work in the palace."

"you?"

Fang Xiu was very surprised, and blurted out: "You are the only seedling in your family, what will your father do after you enter the palace?"

What does entering the palace have to do with me being the only seedling in my family...

Wu Yi looked puzzled, looked at Fang Xiu, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Fang Xiu looked down at Wu Yi sympathetically, shook his head, and sighed, "There are three types of unfilial piety, and the greatest thing is to have no descendants...

After you enter the palace, your family will be extinct. At your father's age, it is impossible to have another child. If he knows this, he must not live in anger. "

Wu Yi was startled, and after a while, he suddenly came to his senses, glared at Fang Xiu, and shouted, "I'm a servant in the palace, not a eunuch!"

Fang Xiu asked, "Is there a difference?"

"Of course there is!"

Wu Yi took out an imperial decree from his cuff, spread it carefully on the stone table, and said triumphantly: "This time, my young master is ranked seventh in the second class. Your Majesty has specially named you the captain of Habayashi Guard. Did you see it?"

The proofreading is divided into two lists.

The three members of the first list are generally awarded the post of General of the Sixteen Guards of the Imperial Army.

There are 20 people in the second list, and they are awarded the post of school lieutenant.

Entering the list means that the articles written are valued by His Majesty, and the future can be said to be bright.

How could Wu Yi not be excited, not excited.

pity......

All the people in the mansion went to Qingzhou to recuperate, showing off with those servants without any sense of accomplishment.

After going to Qingzhou to study a letter, he couldn't wait to come to Anping Bofu, wanting to share the joy of high school with Fang Xiu.

Of course...not without showing off.

Of our gang of playboys, the most promising one is me, Wu Yi!

Fang Xiu glanced at the pure white imperial decree and asked, "Why didn't I see you in the Qinjun mansion?"

During the review, you were the last to enter, the first to exit, and then sat at the front. It was so strange to see me!

Wu Yi said: "I saw you."

He only said this sentence, and he didn't know what to think of, but he looked at Fang Xiu deeply, as if he hesitated to speak.

Fang Xiu said: "If you have something to say, just say it."

Wu Yi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "This is what you asked me to say..."

"Go ahead."

Wu Yi sighed, and said earnestly: "Xiuer, we are good brothers who have been together since we were young, and we are both the only children in our family. That is closer than ordinary blood brothers. There are some things that I have to say to you as an elder brother. Said..."

Seeing his seriousness, Fang Xiu thought it was a bit funny, but wanted to see what he was trying to do.

Seeing that Fang Xiu didn't intend to get up and leave, Wu Yi became more interested, and continued: "Do you know why Brother Wei has to participate in the review?

That's because I don't want people to look down on the Wu family. The man's aspirations are all over the world. We are noble children and we must always serve the court. We can't just sit at home and wait to die, right?

I didn't understand this truth before, and it made my father worry, but since he left, I only knew it...

People should not only know how to eat, drink, play and wait for death, but also have responsibility and stand upright! "

These words are indeed good, but when they come out of Wu Yi's mouth, it always makes people feel a little strange.

Fang Xiu looked at him: "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"For brother..."

"speak politely."

"Cough cough..."

Wu Yi smiled awkwardly, and then said seriously: "I mean, you should also think about your own future...

Others don't want to say these things, for fear of offending others. If Uncle Shi said it, you would definitely not want to listen to it, so I had to say it.

Think about it carefully, our brother for so many years, will I harm you?

If you continue to be so muddled, who can protect you in the future, and now there is Shibo, if Shibo goes, what should you do? "

As a playboy, there are not many people he can talk to on a daily basis, and Fang Xiu is the only one.

The brotherhood for many years is extraordinary. Now that I have repented and stepped on the right track, I have to help him no matter what, and I can't just watch him go further and further on the wrong path.

He thought that what he said was sincere, but Fang Xiu didn't care about it.

So, he continued to persuade: "Let's say that this review, you are the only one who handed in the papers in advance. If His Majesty finds out, you will be furious for a while and lose your qualification to be a knight. How will you deal with it in the future?"

He was talking vigorously when he saw a young boy in green rushing into the courtyard, shouting: "Master, the imperial envoy is here, the same one from last time!"

imperial envoy...

Wu Yi's complexion changed, he glanced at Fang Xiu, and thought: It can't be such a coincidence...

Just as I said that His Majesty might cut off Fang Xiu's qualifications to attack the noble, the imperial decree came later. Could it be that I guessed it right?

Fang Xiu was also a little confused.

He had just come out of the palace, and before he had rested for a while, he delivered another decree.

Moreover, he still sent Zhang Gonggong, who had a feud with him, to deliver the decree. Then the emperor will not break his word, and he wants to use the matter of beating the imperial envoy to clean himself up, right?

Behind her, Xiu'er's face was pale, and her small hands tightly grasped Fang Xiu's clothes corners, as if once she let go, she would never see her young master again.

Fang Xiu calmed down, with a calm expression on his face, lightly patted Xiu'er's hand, and comforted: "It's okay."

Then, he hurried out of the yard.

Seeing this scene, Wu Yi hurriedly followed, wanting to see what happened.

As soon as he stepped into the main hall with one foot, he saw the familiar figure with gauze wrapped around his head and a white face without beard. It was indeed the little eunuch named Zhang Wen.

Different from the last time, this time there was a full team of imperial guards following him, all holding swords and wearing armor, like sculptures, lined up on both sides of the main hall of the Fang family.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xiu couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive.

Could it be that the old emperor really repented and wanted to punish himself for beating the imperial envoy?

And Wu Yi who followed behind was even paler.

Could this battle be a trivial matter?

It must be that the absurd thing about handing in the paper in advance reached His Majesty's ears, which made His Majesty furious.

Hey...my crow's mouth!

When the little eunuch Zhang Wen saw Fang Xiu, he acted even more anxious than him. He shuddered suddenly and forced out a smile that was uglier than crying.

Wu Yi on the side saw this weird smile, and felt even more bitter in his heart.

It seems that my good brother is doomed today.

In a daze, the little eunuch had already opened the imperial decree in his hand, and said in a loud voice: "Uncle Anping will stop accepting the decree."

Fang Xiu saluted anxiously.

I just heard him continue to say in a loud voice: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said: Anping Bozi Fangxiu, with extensive knowledge and economics, offered tea and horse exchanges, reformed the land and returned it to the people, relieved the people from the upside down, shared the worries for the country, deeply I have won my heart, so I bestowed the name of the head of the review, and ordered him to be General Zuo Zhonglang of the Habayashi Guard, and entered the palace as a duty, and I honor this."

Check the first name, Habayashi Mamoru Zuo Zhonglang?

Isn't it to punish?

Fang Xiu looked at the imperial decree and was a little confused.

Wu Yi looked shocked, as if he was about to suffocate.

Review first?

I learned from my father and Uncle Anping, I don’t know how much hardship I endured, and how much scolding I received, before I got the seventh place in the second list, that is, No.10.

How come he didn't do anything, and handed in the papers ahead of time, and he was able to rank first in the first list and the top reviewer!

Wu Yi couldn't believe his ears.

Impossible, absolutely impossible, why is this...

After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Wen still coughed heavily.

Fang Xiu just came back to his senses, stood up to receive the imperial edict, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty..."

Zhang Wen glanced at him, originally wanting to worry about his poor etiquette in accepting the order, but when he was about to leave the palace, he acted as if he hadn't seen what his godfather ordered.

With a smile on his face, he complimented: "Let's congratulate Mr. Fang for being ranked first in the review, and he has been on the rise from now on..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Fang Xiu: "It's better not to say these words, maybe at some point, my young master will enter the prison without paying attention, and then, won't Eunuch Zhang be implicated."

Beside, Wu Yi heard this and wished he could step forward and cover Fang Xiu's mouth.

How can you talk nonsense when you enter the prison?

If it falls into the ears of those with a heart, it will inevitably fall into the tongue.

And this one in front of him is an imperial envoy from the palace. Although his status is not high, he has great energy. If he is annoyed, there will be no good fruit to eat.
