The happy life of a prodigal

There are not many things in this world that Fang Xiu can remember.

This second matter is undoubtedly related to Fang Mansion.

Just two days ago, Liu Cheng from the palace suddenly arrived at Fangfu.

At first, Fang Xiu thought it was just that the old emperor was bored, so he wanted to call himself over to chat with him.

But he didn't expect Liu Cheng to directly take out the imperial decree with a solemn look.

no doubt......

It must be good news for the other party's government.

Uncle Anping transformed into Marquis of Linze.

This is the first nobleman who has been promoted to a nobleman in the past hundred years.

Although it is only a marquis, it has reached the limit that can be achieved.

One step further up is the Duke of the State.

The only way to become the Duke of the state is to raise troops and rebel.

Of course, talking is better than nothing, the Marquis is better than the Earl.

Father is not in the capital, so Fang Xiu is naturally leading the order on his behalf.

After receiving the decree, they are still waiting for the reward.

But I didn't expect, that's all.

It's a pity that he rushed all the way back to the capital from the Central Plains Road to save the Emperor Chu from the fire and water, but in the end he got nothing.

Seeing this scene, Liu Cheng didn't understand what Xin'anbo meant, so he revealed some information in an ambiguous manner.

I heard that the elders of the cabinet felt that the simultaneous promotion of two noble nobles, and that they were from the same government, would inevitably cause some criticism.

It was also to protect Fang Xiu, so Emperor Chu decided to give Fang Xiu a reward, and wait until after the Chinese New Year to announce it.

After Fang Xiu heard the news, he lamented...

The old emperor still doesn't understand himself.

As long as it's good, what's the point of being scolded?

What's more, in his eyes, those rotten words are really nothing.

They are just some hypocrites who talk about benevolence and morality, but actually do all kinds of despicable things. What he likes most is to see these guys jumping over the wall in a hurry, still helpless...

However, the matter is a foregone conclusion, and there is nothing more to say.

In addition, there is one last thing. Of course, Liulifang officially opened at noon yesterday!

Although it was just a small shop, it shocked the whole capital.

At first, everyone thought that Liuli was created by God, the pearl left by Tiangong in the world, but they didn't expect that it could also be artificially created.

Although the previous auctions have already made everyone speculate.

But......

Guessing is just guessing after all, as long as it is not confirmed, this news is just something for the common people to talk about after dinner.

Once confirmed, everything is different.

Many people even didn't believe the news, and ran to the south of the city, guarding the gate of Liulifang, and didn't believe it until they saw it with their own eyes.

There are also some people who didn't believe it even if they saw it with their own eyes. They didn't believe it until Liulifang launched a customized function and they got their own customized glaze.

However, whether these people believe it or not...

Liulifang has become a fact, and I believe that it won't take long for glass to become a material often used by nobles in the capital city, and even in the entire Chu Kingdom.

Of course, because of the appearance of glass, many things will be invented along with it.

Let's not talk about all this for now.

At this moment, Fang Xiu looked at Zhao Yan and Xiu'er's busy backs, and said, "You two take a break, and let the servants do these things."

When Xiu'er heard this, she immediately felt a sense of warmth. She turned her head and glanced at her young master, with a smile on her face, and her voice was crisp and clear: "Young master, the slaves are not tired."

Zhao Yan curled her lips, and muttered in a low voice: "I'm being lazy, and I want to persuade Xiu'er to come with you..."

Fang Xiu opened his mouth when he heard this, and was about to refute when he heard a voice from outside: "Brother, let's go to the temple fair!"

Chapter 622 Temple Fair

Fang Xiu heard this voice and turned his head to look.

Sure enough, Fang Xiu was standing at the door, looking at him expectantly.

Fang Xiu looked at her and asked, "Have you memorized your regulations?"

Fang Ru's expression changed instantly, she frowned, and said confidently, "No!"

"..."

Seeing her admitting so generously, Fang Xiu really didn't know what to say for a while.

Zhao Yan and Xiu'er next to him also hung up the lanterns and walked to Fang Xiu's side.

"Yeah, we haven't played together for a long time."

The one who spoke was undoubtedly Zhao Yan.

Fang Xiu turned his head, glanced at her, and asked angrily: "Who accompanied you to the Beijing Normal University Theater the day before yesterday?"

When Zhao Yan heard this, she also remembered, her pretty face flushed slightly.

However, in the next second, she said confidently: "Isn't two days a long time?"

This girl has been in Fangfu for a long time, and she doesn't know whether she was influenced by Fang Xiu or Fang Ru. All in all, she didn't learn anything else, but this shameless skill is getting stronger day by day.

"You said that the minority obeys the majority. Now two people agree and one object!"

Seeing this scene, Fang Ru suddenly thought of something, looked at Fang Xiu, and said loudly.

These words are learned very quickly...

Fang Xiu shook his head and looked at Xiu'er behind him.

Seeing the look in her young master's eyes, Xiu'er lowered her head slightly, and said in a low voice, "I haven't been to a temple fair yet..."

"..."

To be dishonest, in all the various lantern riddle meetings in the past, which one did not bring Xiu'er.

Fang Xiu sighed helplessly, raised his hands, signaled that he could not compete with them, and said: "Pack up and pack up, wait until it gets dark, and then set off!"

The temple fair before New Year's Eve was naturally very lively.

Except for those small vendors who live on various festivals, even busy people will spare some free time for themselves at this time to spend time with their families and children.

Therefore, the whole temple fair is very crowded.

It was even busier than when Chunfeng Building first opened, and crowds could be seen everywhere.

In a trance, it gives people a feeling of returning to modern times.

Fang Xiu led Zhao Yan, Fang Ru and Xiu'er, walking aimlessly on the street.

The cries of small vendors came from both sides.

"The baked buns just out of the oven cost only three renminbi each. Take a look and have a taste..."

"A mask made of high-quality rabbit fur costs only ten cents. There are all kinds of animals. Sister, sell one for your child!"

"..."

It has to be said that the tricks of these small vendors are no different from the various food streets in the previous life.

Almost everything can be seen.

There are even quite a few people who wear Taoist uniforms and tell fortunes to others.

There are also some jugglers, performing some traditional skills similar to breaking big stones in the chest.

If it were placed in normal times, not many people in the capital would have seen this kind of juggling that is often seen.

Especially after the opening of the Beijing Normal University Theater.

Today, it is different, the reason is very simple, just for fun.

These tricks such as breaking a big stone in the chest and spitting flames at the mouth, showing the children can save a lot of money on candy and toys.

"Brother, look at this jewelry..."

"Fang Xiu, does this rouge look good?"

"Master, there seems to be someone walking on stilts over there..."

Listening to Zhao Yan and the others' three voices, Fang Xiu felt his head hurting, rubbed his brows, and said, "I'll give you the money, and you can buy whatever you like."

"Thank you brother, you are the best!"

Fang Ru was naturally overjoyed and readily accepted.

Xiu'er hesitated for a moment, seeing that the amount of the bank note was not too large, she extended her hand to take it after thanking her.

Zhao Yan glanced at him, very disdainful: "Is this girl short of your money?"

"..."

Fang Xiu glanced at her, wanting her to be quiet, but seeing the faint smile on her face, he felt inexplicably relieved, so he didn't speak.

"Bro, where are we going next?"

It was the first time for Fang Ru to see the prosperity of the capital, holding the jewelry she just bought in one hand and a lifelike sugar figurine in the other, and asked in an expectant tone.

Fang Xiu looked at the seemingly endless road in front of him, and didn't know where to go. After thinking about it, he said: "Go ahead and see if there is anything else..."

Counting the various food streets in his previous life, he did not know how many times he visited similar places.

It's really boring.

I don't know why, after all, Fang Ru came to the capital for the first time, and it was the first time that she didn't have to worry about eating and drinking, so it was natural to be excited.

But Zhao Yan and Xiu'er didn't seem to get tired of shopping.

Fang Xiu could only sigh and wandered along the street with them.

Just walked around for a while.

Zhao Yan seemed to have discovered something interesting, and said loudly: "Why are there so many people in front, let's go and see!"

After finishing speaking, he led Xiu'er towards the direction of the crowd.

Xiu'er has always liked to join in the fun, especially at such temple fairs, so naturally she would not object.

Fang Ru had never been to a temple fair before, and she was very curious about everything, so she also followed.

Fang Xiu fell behind, shook his head, and did not leave.

After a while of uproar, the crowd dispersed a bit, revealing their true faces.

I saw a table and two chairs placed in the open space in front of them, and there was only one old man besides them.

With pale hair and beard, wearing a white robe, and holding a wolf hair brush in his hand, he looks a bit like a fairy.

Just by looking at it, Fang Xiu knew what it was for...

There is no doubt that it must be some kind of bluffing Taoist priest.

He has seen too many such routines. When he was in Chunfenglou, he met one, and after exposing it face to face, he was escorted away by Xia Yixue for no reason...

He still has a little impression of this matter.

"Sir, sir, look at me, look at me..."

"Obviously I came first!"

"I have been waiting for the old fairy for half an hour, you can still compare to me no matter how early!"

As soon as the people on the chairs in front put down their money and left, the crowd scrambled to get up, and even quarreled over it.

Beside Fang Xiu, Zhao Yan and Xiu'er both showed interested expressions when they saw this scene.
