The happy life of a prodigal

The original appearance of pear blossoms with rain disappeared in an instant, replaced by an angry expression.

Fang Xiu, on the other hand, looked at Bai Xiaochun next to him seriously, and ordered: "Xiaochun, go get Miss Fang two pairs of cotton shoes, thicker ones!"

"Yes, Master!"

Bai Xiaochun answered with a faint smile on his face.

"Humph--"

Fang Ru watched their master and servant singing together, and said angrily: "If I become a police officer, I will be the first to put you in jail and make you bully me every day!"

6 Chapter Twenty has always been like this, right?

During this period of time, Fang Ru's courage has skyrocketed. In front of Fang Xiu before, she was as well-behaved as a kitten that left home, but after getting acquainted with her, she started to scratch people.

Of course, Fang Xiu knew that her character was like this, so he didn't take it seriously. After making fun of her, he returned to his yard.

Fang Ru continued to practice swords.

Seeing this perseverance, even Zhao Yan, who always thought she was hardworking, couldn't help silently admiring in her heart.

"Fang Ru said she wanted to be a policeman?"

In the backyard, Zhao Yan sat on the stone bench, looked at Fang Xiu, and asked curiously.

"Correct."

Fang Xiu nodded, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and replied, "Otherwise, why is she practicing sword like this?"

Zhao Yan heard this, thought about it, and it was true.

No one in the world does something for no reason.

No matter what you do, there should always be some motivation.

only......

"Can women be officials?"

Zhao Yan looked at Fang Xiu curiously and asked.

Fang Xiu heard this, looked back at her, and asked: "According to what you say, Xia Yixue is not a woman anymore?"

"That's different, Xia Yixue is..."

Having said that, it stops abruptly.

Indeed, Xia Yixue is also a fast catcher, and she is also the head catcher of Qipin.

No matter what kind of background and strength she has, it can't change the fact that she is a woman.

Since Xia Yixue can be the head catcher, why can't Fang Ru be the catcher?

and......

She remembered that at the beginning, when Xia Yixue was a police officer, no matter whether it was the court or the neighbors, there was a lot of opposition.

The main argument is nothing more than one: how can a woman be an official! ?

However, it turns out that women can not only be officials, they can even do better than some men!

For so many years in the capital, has there ever been a head arrester whose achievements can compare to Xia Yixue's, perhaps not even half of hers!

Even so, there are still many people, especially those in the court, who will submit memorials from time to time to criticize Xia Yixue.

It wasn't until Emperor Chu came forward in person, saying that this was a special case and that the next one was not an example, that the opposition from the court was slightly reduced...

However, to this day, there are still not a few officials who have mentioned this matter, but the father is too lazy to care about it.

Moreover, most of the folks praised Xia Tutou, and the officials were alone.

"What is she?"

Fang Xiu looked at Zhao Yan, smiled, and added the second half of her sentence: "She is the daughter of the Duke of England, so what do you mean...

A woman born in the Duke's Mansion can be an official? "

Zhao Yan shook her head and said, "That's not what I meant.

It's just that women cannot be officials, it has always been like this. "

"It's always been like this...is it right?"

Fang Xiu's words left Zhao Yan speechless.

"If a woman can do better as an official, why not?

Just like Xia Yixue, as a police officer, she is good for the country and the people, is it good or bad?

This point, I don't need to say it, you should also know...

After all, Xia Yixue is called Xia Qingtian in the market, and dandies and gangsters call her the devil. "

Zhao Yan agrees with Fang Xiu's words in her heart.

But......

Hearing Fang Xiu praised Xia Yixue so much, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable in her heart. She curled her lips and muttered in a low voice: "If that's the case, why are the ministers above the court so opposed..."

Hearing this, Fang Xiu glanced at Zhao Yan, obviously understood what she was thinking in her heart, and didn't try to expose her, sighed, and explained: "It's just because...it's always been like this. "

There is a deeper reason, but it is inconvenient to say it in front of Zhao Yan.

Coming and going, hustle and bustle, all in one word - Li, that's all...

When Zhao Yan heard this, she nodded with a thoughtful expression on her face.

"So, you actually support Fang Ru as a catcher?"

Zhao Yan suddenly thought of something, looked at Fang Xiu, and asked.

When Fang Xiu heard this question, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he said: "As long as someone is suitable to be a policeman, I will support...

I just don't know if Fang Ru is suitable to be a policeman. "

Zhao Yan revealed a look of surprise, and nodded subconsciously.

After a while, she seemed to think of something, with an expression of interest on her face, she raised her eyes, looked at Fang Xiu, and asked, "Then look at me, is it suitable to be a catcher?"

"..."

Fang Xiu was speechless for a while, thought for a while, and asked, "Don't you want to be a chivalrous heroine who roams the world?"

"That was before..."

Zhao Yan said: "I went to the Central Plains Road, and I realized that the crows in the world are as black, as long as you have a chivalrous heart, you can fight for justice anywhere."

When Fang Xiu heard this, his expression became a little strange.

Zhao Yan's words always feel like the vulgar chicken soup that she heard in her previous life.

It's useless, but it's delicious...

Outside the courtyard, by the wall, Fang Ru, who had just put away his sword and was about to ask Zhao Yan some questions about the sword style, stopped when he heard the conversation coming from inside.

After hearing Fang Xiu say, "As long as anyone is suitable to be a police officer, I will support...", the corners of her mouth curled up, and a firm expression appeared on her small face. .

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

Time flies, and New Year's Eve is coming soon.

The entire capital was filled with a lively atmosphere, with fiery red lanterns hanging in every corner, and even some homeless refugees and beggars received a special gift.

A little food, plus a bedding filled with cotton wool.

These things seemed to appear out of nowhere, many refugees who were lingering in the ruined temple, hoping that luck would be on their side and survive this cold winter.

Just as I made a wish, I opened my eyes and saw the food and bedding in front of me, as if they had fallen from the sky.

"Father, mother, look, there is still candy here, and there is still candy!"

In a ruined temple somewhere, a disheveled little girl wearing tattered cotton wool tightly clutched a small sachet, and excitedly ran to the other two refugees, shouting excitedly.

"Could it be that God heard the child's wish, so he gave the child food, clothes, and candy!"

The little girl stood in front of her parents, with an expression of excitement on her frozen red face, and said loudly.

Her parents stepped forward and hugged the little girl gently, and said in a trembling voice: "It must be, it is God who sees our daughter is cute, so he gave us these things..."

They said so, but they understood in their hearts.

If this God really existed, how could they allow their family to suffer such hardships and fall into such a world...

But I don't know which kind-hearted person who passed by left these things behind.

Chapter 621 Preparations Before New Year's Eve

The outside is like this, and the inside of Fang Mansion is full of lively atmosphere.

There are fiery red lanterns hanging everywhere, as well as brand new couplets and colorful ribbons.

All kinds of melon and fruit snacks can be seen everywhere, even servants can eat at will.

Most of these servants have lived in Fangfu for generations, and some of them are refugees from the Central Plains Dao that were hired at the beginning.

Therefore, Fang Mansion can be regarded as their home.

At this moment, there are still two days before New Year's Eve, Fang Xiu sits on the stone bench in the backyard, watching Zhao Yan and Xiu'er busy hanging up the fiery red lanterns, looking idle.

After Zhao Yan hung up a lantern, she turned her head and saw that he was eating figs with his legs crossed, and suddenly became angry, and said angrily, "This is where you live, let the two of us Is it appropriate for a weak little girl to do it, and you just sit there and watch by yourself?"

Fang Xiu thought for a while, nodded and said, "I think it's quite appropriate."

Zhao Yan took a deep breath, resisted the urge to draw her sword, and said, "If you are really fine, you might as well go to Liulifang to see if the glass windows we customized have been fired."

When Fang Xiu heard this, he wanted to refuse, but when he saw Zhao Yan's angry eyes, he chose Congxin decisively, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go later."

That being said, what happened these days is recalled in my mind.

Seven days have passed since the colored glaze auction.

Although it was only a short period of seven days, many things happened.

The first thing, which left Fang Xiu with some memories, was the second auction. The ceremonial staff member Ding Tong who threatened to be there was actually not there.

Suddenly, he became the laughing stock of the entire capital.

I found out later that it seems that his son put Mongolian sweat medicine in his porridge...

At the beginning, everyone thought it was nonsense, after all Chu State ruled the world with loyalty and filial piety.

But anyone who has received a little education and read a little book will not do such a thing.

What's more, this one is the son of Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Rites, who is in charge of the education of Chu State.

If this matter is true, it will involve more than just family affairs.

After all, in the eyes of many gentry, educating the people of the world is a top priority.

There is a problem in this link, and its influence is no less than that of the food shortage in the Central Plains Dao, and it is even more serious than that.

This is equivalent to...

Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of War, did not know how to march and set up an army.

Yuanwailang from the Ministry of Industry doesn't know what weights and measures are.

However, the news was confirmed by the servants of the Ding Mansion later.

What happened these days confirmed the accuracy of this news.

Now, it's not just the people who are discussing this issue. I heard that the cabinet has also heard the movement and is discussing the appointment of Ding Tong.

Of course, the difference is not big.

After all, everyone knows what is going on in the Ministry of Rites today.

It has to be cleaned sooner or later, it's just a matter of time.

When Fang Xiu heard the news, he inexplicably felt a little lamented.

He has only heard of cheating fathers, and this is the first time he has seen cheating sons.

However, when you think about it carefully, the father and son are actually the same breed, there is nothing to feel sorry for, and it didn't take long for them to forget about it.
