Prince in the same boat

"Is the royal family so easy to recognize? I don't even think about where it is. It's okay if the mother only gave birth to you. It doesn't matter if the royal family has more than one character. The big deal is to recognize a adopted daughter, but there is absolutely no adopted son." Reasonable. Besides, what I want to do is not only to recognize my father, but...to make my mother be recognized in a legitimate way." Without raising his head, Xia Yongfan took out a Western bold paintbrush and gestured.

Xia Yuhe has talents, but most of them are the talents of women. Poor Xia Yongfan and Xia Ziwei are raised by the old man and the old lady of the Xia family respectively, but they will be caught and taught by Xia Yuhe whenever they have the opportunity. Very strong, it can be said that everything is fine in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.But Yongfan can't make it. Calligraphy and chess skills are simply a mess, but music and painting are not bad. These two are what Xia Yongfan was interested in in his previous life, so his skills are extremely solid.

It has been two months since I came to the capital, and it is already the midwinter season, and the sky is beginning to snow. Xia Yongfan has set up a shop in the capital that specializes in dealing in Western goods. There are very few people who have the foresight to do business in Western goods. Only the royal family has some objects such as glass mirrors and pocket watches that foreign countries pay tribute to, and the quantity and variety are not many.On the other hand, Yong Fan had set up a line with those Nanyang merchants along the coast of Guangdong a few years ago, so the supply of goods was relatively sufficient.

Now Zhang Shun is taking care of the store on the bright side, while Xia Yongfan is hiding behind the scenes like he was in Jinan.

In the past two months, Xia Yongfan has been looking around for information, but he has been doing it in an extremely secretive manner. Even Ziwei and Jinsuo don't know about it, and he already knows the information he wants.

That day has come, and today is the first step of the plan.

A smile of unknown meaning appeared on Xia Yongfan's elegant and handsome face, and he greeted: "Ziwei clean up, let's go for a walk in the city, Jin Suo stays to watch the house."

"Oh, but young master, the snow outside has not yet melted, and the weather is very cold." Jin Suo looked out the window, it snowed all night last night, and now the world outside is already a world of jade pieces and piles of jade.

"It's only when it's snowing. A cunning hunter, it's the season when it's snowing that receives the most goods!" Xia Yongfan smiled inscrutablely.

"Brother..." Looking at such a clear and flawless smile, he was obviously handsome, but for no reason, both Ziwei and Jinsuo felt a chill from the bottom of their hearts.

Ziwei suddenly remembered some things that happened on the way to Beijing. When she was in Zhili, a dandy with a dirty mouth made a few words to make fun of Ziwei, and said that she would come to propose marriage.

Ziwei and Jinsuo looked at Yongfan's sudden change of expression, thinking that he would immediately kill him and send that dude on the road, but Ziwei was worried that his elder brother, who would ignore everything once he went crazy, would immediately slaughter people in the street!

Unexpectedly, Yong Fan's face returned to normal in an instant, and he said with a smile how honored it is to let the young master see my sister's rough appearance, please go home with me to meet my parents and tell about the marriage proposal.

And then—he tricked the poor young master to the outskirts, pushed him into the water and drowned him half to death, and then walked away.

At that time, Xia Yongfan had this kind of smile on his face.

Although they clearly knew that Yongfan would never harm them anyway, Ziwei and Jinsuo couldn't help lowering their heads again and again to reduce their sense of existence.

The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow... Although the land in the capital is not as snowy as the pear blossoms outside the Great Wall, the suburbs of the capital are already full of jade and snow, and the vast expanse of white is made of snow and dust, just like white jade decorations The ground is hard to bear to step on.

After the snow, there must be a sunny day, and the sky is full of golden lights, dyeing the entire sky red.

In the eastern sky, the red sun is rising, and the sky is bright.

Xia Yongfan and Ziwei, two brothers and sisters, each rode a white horse slowly on the snowy ground, looking very leisurely.

Although Ziwei was puzzled as to why her elder brother chose to go out in such a cold weather, seeing Yongfan's unpredictable smile and confident look, she suppressed her doubts and began to appreciate the snow with Yongfan, gradually giving birth to Come on for some fun.

The morning breeze blows, making people feel refreshed, and the cold wind seems to have a layer of refreshing charm. Xia Yongfan narrowed his eyes slightly, and his face seemed to be smiling, and the white clothes were mixed with silver threads, which reflected a faint smile in the sunlight. Under the reflection of the morning sun, the bright and clear face was covered with a faint golden halo, as if carved from beautiful jade.

When some woodcutters and hunters who happened to pass by saw it, they couldn't help being stunned and dazzled.

"Brother, look there are plum blossoms!" Ziwei pointed to a mountain depression in surprise.

Sure enough, it was a cluster of plum blossoms, red plum blossoms on the twigs, as if ice and snow had condensed on it, pure and arrogant, very beautiful.

As soon as he jumped, Xia Yongfan jumped up from the horse's back, kicked lightly with his toes on the snow, and swept past like the snow god Bingjun, and the imprint on the snow was only a little shallow, which shows his excellent lightness kung fu!

Xia Yongfan originally saw that Ziwei liked the plum blossoms, so he ran to pick plum blossoms on a whim, but when he came back after tearing off two plum blossoms happily, trouble came.

After the snow in winter, it is a good time for hunting. After the heavy snow, the animals in the mountains will take this opportunity to come out to find some food to feed their hunger. The Manchus have a long-standing custom of hunting. , some rich and powerful families have also developed the habit of hunting, and Ziwei is very unlucky to run into such a team.

Ziwei started to learn Manchu and equestrian skills under Xia Yuhe's ardent hope since she was a child, so her skills are still good. When she saw a pair of men and horses approaching aggressively surrounded by a young man in brocade clothes, she hurriedly dropped the horse aside.Unexpectedly, the skill was not good enough, the horse suddenly raised its hoofs and neighed, Ziwei did nothing wrong, on the contrary, it knocked down the passing young man, one might as well fell off.

"Master! Master, are you alright!" The servants following him got off their horses one after another and helped him up.

Ziwei was also taken aback, climbed off the horse in shock, and apologized bluntly: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Young master, are you okay, I really didn't mean it."

"Why, can this matter be exposed with an apology? Don't you look at who you are scaring? If something happens to our young master, we will not be able to pay for it!" The person who was hit The servant immediately shouted.

Ziwei knew that she had encountered a bully, and she turned around several times in her mind, thinking of ways to excuse her. Although she possessed martial arts, Xia Yongfan felt that it was not good for a girl to fight and kill, so she only handed over She taught her some self-defense techniques such as acupuncture and light kungfu, and a girl, who would casually go to learn martial arts, Yong Fan once gave Ziwei a strict order, unless it was a critical moment, she was not allowed to reveal her incarnation martial arts It is worth whispering: "My little girl... my little girl didn't do it on purpose, so I ask you to forgive me."

The young man in brocade clothes didn't suffer any injuries at first, at most he was just frightened, but now he screamed like a pig butcher, and after being helped up by his servants, he shouted angrily: "Where did you come from, the little bitch, how dare you charge into me?" Come on, my little ones, give it to me..."

"Wait!" Young Master Jinyi suddenly raised his hand to stop those people's movements, stared at Ziwei for a long time in a daze, and finally said with a smile on his face: "Tsk tsk tsk..., forgive me, of course the Lord will forgive, it's really amazing The great beauty."

Ziwei's expression changed, she dared to tease her!Shou has already pulled it into the sleeve, where Yongfan hides a small dagger for her self-defense.

"You...what exactly do you want?" Ziwei showed 'horrified' on her face, and backed away repeatedly in 'fright', in fact, she wanted to distance the young man in brocade clothes from his subordinates, so that he could capture him after he got close Take hostages.

"What are you doing? Why is she such a lively beauty, my master is also a person who cherishes flowers..." Young Master Jinyi approached with a wretched smile, and the servant next to him also laughed strangely.

Ziwei really wanted to chop off the other party's wretched face with a single knife, but she still considered herself a lady after all, and instead of getting mad on the spot, she backed away step by step.His face was full of horror, and his body trembled with fear.

"Beauty...will you go hunting in the woods with my master?" The young man in brocade clothes smiled and stretched out his hand, wanting to touch Ziwei's face.

court death!Ziwei's eyes turned cold, and the dagger in her hand was about to be drawn out.

"Stop!" There was a sound of horseshoes stepping on the snow suddenly, and a man shouted.

Another pair of men and horses came, surrounded by two teenagers in brocade clothes.

In fact, Yong Fan has already arrived, and just wants to test the reaction of this younger sister, to see if the distorted Virgin of Flowers has the ability to protect herself.After all, he has already chosen the path of no return to go to Beijing to recognize his relatives. If he doesn't have a little bit of self-protection ability, he might as well just send Ziwei back to Jinan. He can't stay by her side to protect her all the time.So he leaned against the tree and endured not doing anything, seeing that this young man in brocade clothes dared to touch Ziwei.Just about to make a move, Yong Fan was overjoyed when he heard that someone came to help, he didn't care who came, as long as he dragged Ziwei away while taking advantage of the chaos.

"What, what are you doing? Who would dare to make trouble in front of my young master?" The person who spoke was a young man about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in luxurious clothes, and he was shaking a folding fan strangely in this winter. The fan is pretending to be chic, and there is a big piece of jasper inlaid on the mink fur hat, but no matter how you look at it, it looks sloppy, and you can't see the demeanor of a hero who saves the beauty at all. .

The other boy seemed to be a bit older, but at the moment he was looking at a group of people opposite him with cold eyes.

The corners of Ziwei's mouth twitched, why her brother hasn't come back yet, she thought that a hero came to rescue the women from a good family, but listening to his tone, it turned out not to be a good thing.

"What are you? How dare you call yourself a master in front of your master?" Young Master Jinyi yelled unconvinced.

"That's right, our master is the son of Mrs. Wei Qingtai's family, but he is the nephew of the concubine Ling in the palace. Does the concubine Ling know?" the servant of Mr. Jinyi shouted.

"Hehe... so it's a group of coated slaves, and there are coated slaves' slaves!" The young man who claimed to be the young master snatched the whip from the servants and whipped it on the head of the one who yelled the most: "I beat you!" You dog slave! The concubine is the concubine, you are you, a group of slaves in clothes dare to play tricks in front of the young master! Oh bah! Third son, tell them, young master, who am I?"

"Okay!" The boy named Sanzi immediately stood up and said proudly, "Grandson! Listen carefully, my master is the elder brother of the prince of Zhijun, Duolong who was proclaimed by the emperor. Beizi. NND, a group of Baoyi dare to call themselves masters in front of the master!"

Yong Fan watched the play aside, thinking to himself that the relatives of the imperial concubine and concubine are really the same. His nephew is also so bold, he even got involved with Beizi, the powerful prince of the Aixinjueluo family.
