I made the villain right.

Shi Jin and Li Muci drank tea for half a day. In addition, Li Muci helped her during the incident at Fumengxuan. The two of them became more familiar with each other. Shi Jin also told Li Muci her identity. Li Muci was very happy when he knew it and did not care about her previous reputation. He said that being friends is about the feeling of getting along, not those reputations.

Looking up, the night is like water, and the cold moonlight is shining in the courtyard.

In Fengyun Pavilion, the lights in Fanhua's main hall are always on.

Fan Hua was sitting at his desk, holding a book and flipping through it quietly, when suddenly a man walked in from outside the door.

Yunchuan bowed and said, "Master, there is a letter from Kyoto City."

Fan Hua looked away from the book and said calmly, "Bring it here for me to see."

Upon hearing this, Yunchuan immediately handed him a note. He opened it and a hint of coldness appeared between his brows for a moment.

Yunchuan asked: "What happened in Kyoto City?"

Fan Hua placed the note on the table, and then said coldly: "It's just a group of ants, it's already been solved"

Fan Hua thought for a moment, then ordered: "Let Du Xuan prepare and set off back to Beijing tomorrow."

Yunchuan thought for a moment and asked in confusion: "Why are you so anxious?"

"There is Xiao Hong in Kyoto City. I feel like he is plotting something big. We must catch him."

"Master, do you need me to follow you?"

"No, you stay in the pavilion and continue to cover for me. Don't let anyone know that I'm not in the pavilion."

"Yes"

After Yunchuan left, Fanhua picked up the note and looked at it again. When his eyes fixed on the contents on the note, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

She did him another favor.

Fan Hua realized belatedly that he had thought of something and the smile on his face suddenly froze. He blinked and then put the note in his hand on the candle to burn.

…………

After three days' journey, Fan Hua finally returned to Kyoto.

It was already dark when I returned home.

In the study room.

Xiao Qi told him everything that happened in the mansion.

"Master, everything was normal in the mansion during your absence."

"I understand. You can leave now," he said expressionlessly.

When Xiao Qi was about to leave, he suddenly hesitated. After a moment, he glanced at Fan Hua and asked cautiously, "Master, during the time you were away, Miss Shi came to the mansion to look for you every now and then."

Fan Hua was pouring himself a cup of tea. When he heard this, his hand paused. After a moment, he put down the teapot and asked with a little doubt: "Did she tell me why she wanted to see me?"

Xiao Qi thought for a while and said truthfully: "Miss Shi said she came to visit the master."

"By the way, Miss Shi once told me to let her know if the master comes back. I have already agreed. So, does the master want to tell her about your return to Kyoto?" Xiao Qi suddenly remembered that Shi Jin asked him to deliver a message, so he asked Fan Hua for consent.

Fan Hua glanced at Xiao Qi indifferently and said lightly: "Since you have already agreed, is there any point in asking me?"

Xiao Qi understood something, his face lit up with joy and he went down immediately.

Then he sent a servant to the general's mansion to pass the message to Shi Jin.

After Shi Jin received the news, she was secretly happy, and her attack plan was about to start again.

next day

The sun is warm this morning, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.

Shi Jin couldn't wait to visit Fan Hua at his mansion.

Fan Hua sat in the pavilion on the small lake in Fan Mansion, staring at the tranquil lake in a daze.

The servant was leading Shi Jin towards this side. Fan Hua heard the approaching footsteps, came to his senses and looked up. Shi Jin met his gaze and smiled at him. Fan Hua also responded with a faint smile.

Shi Jin walked to the jade bench opposite Fan Hua and sat down. She glanced at Fan Hua's pale skin and asked with concern, "I heard from Xiao Qi that you went out to seek medical treatment. Are you feeling better?"

Fan Hua lowered his eyelids, his eyebrows and eyes were filled with depression, and he said in a low voice: "There is no cure for my disease, it can only be alleviated."

Shi Jin's eyebrows moved, and she couldn't bear it. She stared at Fan Hua and comforted him softly: "I know a man with great medical skills. I will bring him to see you in the future. Don't be discouraged. I believe that one day your illness will be cured."

Fan Hua raised his eyes and saw Shi Jin's determined look. A hint of sadness flashed across his eyes. He smiled with satisfaction and said, "Okay."

Shi Jin thought of the purpose of her coming here, she blinked and changed the subject, "Let's not talk about these unhappy things, let's talk about something happy."

He was curious about what the happy thing she was talking about was.

Fan Hua's eyes sparkled, and he said softly, "Miss Shi, what do you want to talk about?"

She cleared her throat and said seriously, "Fanhua, what do you think about the marriage I mentioned last time?"

Fan Hua's eyelids twitched, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Do you call this a happy thing? This is clearly something that makes him worried.

After a moment, Fan Hua said bluntly: "I have never thought about marriage." His voice was not loud, but there was a hint of rejection between the lines.

He has become accustomed to loneliness and has never thought about getting married, having children, and living with others under the same roof.

Shi Jin blinked and suggested: "It's not too late for you to do it now."

She felt bitter inside. Even she couldn't stand her clinging appearance. Why was it so difficult for her to pursue someone for the first time after being single for many years?

A trace of bitterness spread in Fan Hua's heart. He stared at Shi Jin and said helplessly: "Why is Miss Shi holding on to me?"

"Don't you think we are destined to be together? Your name is Fanhua and my name is Shijin. We are a perfect match."

Fan Hua frowned. If she said that, then wouldn't it mean that many people in this world have a predetermined fate? There is no such thing as so much fate to talk about.

Fan Hua then asked, "Is that why?"

Shi Jin smiled awkwardly, with a gleam of mischief in her eyes. She heard that men all like to hear sweet words, so why not give it a try.

She gazed at Fan Hua's deep eyes with deep affection, and said affectionately: "Of course not, I was fascinated by your handsome and suave appearance. Since I accidentally saw you in Fu Mengxuan that day, I fell in love with you at first sight."

She spoke with such passion and emotion that even she was almost moved, but Fan Hua seemed unmoved and did not react at all.

He said calmly: "Oh, I see."

"Ah?" Shi Jin was confused, then she reacted and said in surprise: "That's it, don't you have anything to tell me?"

Fan Hua thought about it and said, "Yes, there is."

Upon hearing this, Shi Jin sat up straight, smiling, and waited for his answer expectantly.

Fan Hua coughed and said, "I was exhausted from the long journey yesterday and I haven't recovered yet. I am a little tired now, so I won't accompany Miss Shi anymore."

Shi Jin's smile froze. Seeing Fan Hua standing up, Shi Jin stood up and said, "Hey, don't leave yet, let's talk more."

Fan Hua ignored her and continued to walk forward. Shi Jin was not in a hurry, but followed him and said naturally: "Then I will take you back to your room."

Halfway through following her, Du Xuan suddenly jumped out from somewhere, blocked her way, and said coldly: "The master is going to rest, Miss Shi, you don't have to follow"

Shi Jin glanced at Du Xuan coldly, then shouted at Fan Hua's back: "Fan Hua, then you should have a good rest first, I will come to see you tomorrow"

Fan Hua paused for a moment, then continued walking forward, passed through a moon-shaped door, and disappeared from sight.

This was the second time Du Xuan stopped her. She felt very uncomfortable. Du Xuan was the biggest stumbling block in his way to conquer Fan Hua. She would find a way to get rid of him in the future.

After a moment, Shi Jin glared at Du Xuan fiercely and said through gritted teeth: "Are you a roadblock? You always block the way?"

Facing Shi Jin's teasing, Du Xuan replied seriously: "No"

Du Xuan seems like the kind of serious, one-track-minded person. It seems that only a lively and talkative girl like Zhilu can subdue him. She will have to keep Zhilu with her from now on.

Shi Jin said sarcastically: "Well, you are very dedicated, just like our Zhilu. I will let you meet him next time if I have the chance."

After saying this, Shi Jin strode away.

After Shi Jin returned to the general's mansion, he stayed in the study room in a depressed mood, tapping Fan Hua's portrait with his fingers, thinking about something in his mind.

When Zhilu came in and saw Shi Jin like this, she asked in confusion: "Miss, didn't you go to see Master Fan? Why do you look so depressed?"

Shi Jin looked up at Zhilu and lamented, "The road to conquering Fanhua is long and far, but I don't have much time left."

Her coming-of-age ceremony is just over a month away, and her father has been arranging it for her a month ago.

Zhilu comforted her open-mindedly: "There are many better grasses in the world, why bother to pick on one grass? If the lady really can't do it, we can just change to another one."

Shi Jin consoled himself and said, "Where can I find someone like Fan Hua in such a short time? I'm already halfway into her pursuit, how can I give up so easily? Yes, I'll try again."

Shi Jin pulled herself together, took out a piece of paper and a pen, and wrote down her strategy plan.

Although she has never been in love, she has seen pigs run even if she has never eaten pork. The TV series says that the love between a talented man and a beautiful woman cannot be separated from the right time, the right place, and coincidence. There is coincidence, but the right time and place still need to be created by oneself.

The first thing a girl should do when pursuing a boy is to always pay attention to her image. People are visual animals and they all like beautiful things.

The second rule for a girl to pursue a boy is to create more opportunities for contact and make your presence felt.

The third rule for a girl to pursue a boy is to know how to take advantage of the situation and create public opinion.

Shi Jin put down his pen, picked up the paper and looked at it carefully. He blew gently on the ink that had not yet dried, and the corners of his mouth curled up wildly.

Zhilu saw her grinning as she stared at the contents on the paper, and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes. What big move is this young lady planning to make to deal with Master Fan?

So starting from today, she would make herself become Fanhua's habit, make him accustomed to her daily sugar-coated bullets, and send him a love word every day.

Shi Jin's eyes lit up, and she raised her eyes and told Zhilu, "Zhilu, are there any peach blossoms in our house?"

Zhilu thought for a moment and said, "It seems that there is one in the master's Nanyuan."

Shi Jin said happily: "Please pick some for me."

Upon hearing this, Zhilu went downstairs immediately to pick peach blossoms for her. Having stayed with Shi Jin for a long time, she was no longer bothered by Shi Jin's inexplicable actions.

After seeing Zhilu go out, Shi Jin racked her brains to think about what love words to write. After thinking it over, she felt that the ancient love words of holding hands with you and growing old together were too common here and were no longer new. She wanted to come up with a love word that would touch people's hearts and make people's eyes light up.

Take the cheesy love words for example, they will definitely make people's eyes light up and leave a deep impression, after all, they are earthy and greasy.

Shi Jin wrote a few words, folded it, and even put an envelope in it.

A few hours later, Zhilu came in with a basket of peach blossoms. Shi Jin picked out a particularly beautiful one, trimmed it with a pair of scissors, and then glued it to the envelope. The love letter looked like a letter.

Zhilu picked too many peach blossoms. Shi Jin looked at the basket of peach blossoms and thought it would be a waste to throw them away, so she planned to put the peach blossoms in a vase.

So she ordered: "Zhilu, please find me a vase. I want to put these peach blossoms in the vase and put it in my room."

"it is good"

When Zhilu was about to turn around and leave, Shi Jin suddenly remembered something, so she called her out: "Hey, please help me call Lin Yang over."

"I understand." Zhilu turned around, looked at her, and then stepped back.

A quarter of an hour later.

Zhilu and Lin Yang entered the study room one after another. After Zhilu came in, she put the vase next to Shijin, and then helped Shijin clean up some broken branches and leaves on the ground.

"Miss, what instructions do you have for me?" Lin Yang asked.

Shi Jin stood up, walked to his side, handed the envelope to him, and said with great importance: "Guard Lin, please be sure to deliver this letter to Fan Mansion at 7:00 pm and say it's from me."

In order to prevent Fan Hua from finding the envelope strange and throwing it away, Shi Jin specifically added that it was from her. After all, they were acquaintances, so he would probably give her face.

Lin Yang thought he was being asked to pass on some important information, but when he saw the beautifully decorated envelope, his eyebrows moved, and after a moment he respectfully said, "Yes."

Chenshi.

In the quiet corridor of Fan Mansion, there was a hurried figure. Xiao Qi walked through the corridor with an envelope in his hand and went straight to Fan Hua's yard. He happened to see Du Xuan, so he handed the envelope to him.

"Butler Du, this is a letter from Miss Shi to the master."

"Got it." Du Xuan took it and saw the fancy envelope. A hint of disgust flashed across his eyes and he looked around.

Seeing this, Xiao Qi opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

Du Xuan saw that Xiao Qi had not left yet, so he glanced at him and asked, "Do you have anything else to do?"

Xiao Qi said bluntly: "Miss Shi specifically told me to be careful not to drop the petals on the envelope."

"You go down." Du Xuan waved his hand and asked Xiao Qi to go down. Seeing this, Xiao Qi immediately left the yard.

Du Xuan walked into the study with the envelope in his hand, and saw Fan Hua sitting lazily on a chair, holding a cup of tea in one hand and a book in the other.

Du Xuan walked to Fan Hua's side and reported to him: "Master, Miss Shi sent you a letter."

Why did she suddenly send him a letter?

Fan Hua raised his eyes slightly in doubt, slowly put down the thing in his hand, and said leisurely: "Give it to me to see."

Du Xuan presented it to Fan Hua. When he saw the peach blossom on the envelope, Fan Hua's eyes flickered, and then he took it from Du Xuan. He opened the envelope, opened the note inside, and when he looked at the contents inside, a strange look flashed across his eyes.

Du Xuan was a little curious and wanted to take a peek to see what was written inside.

But he failed, as the sharp-eyed Fan Hua saw through his plan. He quickly put the note away and gave Du Xuan a look as sharp as the cold wind. So he stood still and said immediately, "I will withdraw first."

After Du Xuan left, Fan Hua opened the note again. The content of the note was: I just ate a peach, and I can't escape meeting you.

Fan Hua's eyes were shimmering faintly, the corners of his mouth were curved in a beautiful arc, and the smile in his eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and sincerity.

This was the first time he met someone like her who made him helpless.
