It was Eunuch Yao who came to the Fan Mansion to announce the decree. Three cannons rang out. The Fan Mansion was busy for a while before setting up the incense table. After doing enough routines, everyone in the whole house was waiting in the lobby, but the eldest prince and Princess Beiqi were inconvenient. Staying in the mansion again, he went on his own, but the imperial doctor was still staying in the study firmly.
It was a big event for the imperial decree to enter the palace. Even Fan Xian was forced to be carried out of the bedroom. Fortunately, the palace realized that he was recovering from his injuries, so it was a special kindness to order him not to get up to receive the imperial decree.
Hearing Eunuch Yao's shrill voice, he found that His Majesty had indeed rewarded a lot this time, and he hadn't finished reading it for quite a while. Naturally, he didn't care about these rewards, so he didn't listen carefully. Instead, he felt that the eunuch's voice was very hypnotizing. Lying on the warm and soft couch, his eyelids were slightly closed, and he was about to fall asleep.
Fan Shangshu coughed lightly and reminded him with his eyes. Wan'er was startled and pinched Fan Xian's palm lightly, which made him try to open his eyes. In the end, he just listened to something about five hundred pieces of silk. , How many acres of land, how many gold ingots, how many silver ingots... There is nothing new in the end.
The Fan family lacked everything, except money. Everyone in the Qing Kingdom knew this, so His Majesty did not intend to make too much compensation to Fan Xian in this regard. He just let Fan Xian regain his title, and mentioned Fan Jian is a first-class title, father and son share the same honor.
After the official decree was announced, everyone in the hall dispersed silently, and then Eunuch Yao began to read His Majesty's secret decree softly.
Whether the decree is secret or not, it is only the benefits of this decree, and it is not easy to publicize it everywhere.
Fan Xian was refreshed, and when he heard that His Majesty transferred seven Tiger Guards to him, he felt that the Emperor was not too stingy. He was overjoyed, and subconsciously missed the other two orders of His Majesty.
Now he is most worried about his personal safety. He will go to the south of the Yangtze River next year. Who knows if he will be able to recover his true energy at that time. Uncle Wu Zhu doesn't take his own life seriously now, and he still has to rely on himself for goodness.
…
…
Outside the garden, Fan Xian saw the seven familiar Tiger Guards, and the leader was Gundam. These tiger guards had traveled with him to the Northern Qi Dynasty a few months ago, so they are of course acquaintances, and now they are very happy to be sent by His Majesty to protect Fan Tisi—it is better to stay with Lord Fan than to stay behind His Majesty It's comfortable to come in the darkness, not to mention Mr. Fan is very skilled in martial arts, so you don't have to worry too much about it.
Under the leadership of Gundam, the Tiger Guards with their long knives on their backs half-kneeled on the ground, and saluted Fan Xian in unison: "Please refer to Mr. Tisi for humble posts."
Fan Xian coughed twice, and said with a smile, "Get up, we are all old acquaintances, from now on, my life will depend on you."
The tiger guards thought Mr. Fan was joking, but they didn't know how to answer the words. They laughed dryly, but they didn't know that Fan Xian was telling the truth—even if Haitang suddenly became insane and wanted to kill him, even if the seven tigers were by his side. He will not be so frightened.
"You go and see your father first." Fan Xian looked at Gao Da and said softly, "Although it's not supposed to be done like this on weekdays, since you want to follow me, you don't need to hold back too much."
Gao Da nodded, thanking Fan Tisi for his insight, and walked towards the front house excitedly, eager to meet his old boss.

"Embroidered pillows? Fine wine? Clothes? ... There is even a set of musical instruments?"
Fan Xian was in his room, and only now began to listen carefully to the list of rewards. He glanced at his wife and said with a wry smile: "Although I have been a lawyer before, I have never played this game."
"It's just the rules in the palace."
Lin Wan'er explained, looking at Fan Xian's sleepy look, she didn't say that the rewards even included things like toilets. At this time, the garden of the Hou Zhai was busy in a mess. Fujiko Jing arranged people outside the mansion to receive the rewards from the palace, and everyone in Fuji was busy sorting them out in the warehouse. Some important things needed to come to the room to invite the young mistress. show the next.
Seeing Mrs. Fuji's daughter-in-law sweating while running in the cold weather, Fan Xian couldn't help sighing, "Is this a reward or a punishment?"
The daughter-in-law of Master Fuji smiled and said: "Even if it is a stitch, it must not be ambiguous. This is the blessing of the palace reward... Who else in the entire capital can get so many rewards at once? The young master has earned a lot this time." face."
"Rewards can't be eaten as food." Fan Xian laughed at himself.
"It's life in exchange for... face, it's better not to have it." Lin Wan'er said almost at the same time as him, the husband and wife both looked down on this reward, and Wan'er might still feel that the emperor's uncle had bad intentions and hoped for a reward The thicker it is, the more times my husband will block knives for him in the future.
"Your Majesty is really stingy." Fan Xian said with a smile: "I listened carefully when reporting the amount of gold and silver. The amount is really pitiful."
Lin Wan'er laughed and said, "You still care about that? It's just a meaning. The more complicated the reward, the more it shows His Majesty's concern for your injury."
"Why don't you care?" Fan Xian raised his brows and said, "Our family is all supported by that bookstore now... I'm embarrassed to go to the front house to ask my father for it, right? The old man has a lot of money. But I can't always be an old man."
The word "gnawing old people" is quite simple, Lin Wan'er vaguely guessed it, she smiled, saw that there were no idlers in the room, and teased softly: "Don't you still have a brothel? I heard that the building can earn a monthly income Tens of thousands of taels of silver."
Fan Xian laughed and said, "It's Xiao Shi's, don't grab me."
Lin Wan'er pretended to spit at him, and muttered: "In front of my family, I still pretend to be tired."
"You have to pretend anytime, anywhere, it's best to hide everything from yourself."
"What did Big Brother ask you for?" Lin Wan'er asked curiously with her eyes wide open.
Fan Xian thought for a while and said, "He doesn't want to be the commander of the imperial army... see if I can do anything."
Lin Wan'er frowned slightly and said, "According to eldest brother's temperament, he definitely doesn't want to stay in Beijing."
Fan Xian sneered, "Who wants to stay in Beijing? It's just that His Majesty doesn't worry about such a son who is good at fighting, always leading the army."
What she said was a little bold and vicious, and Wan'er couldn't help trembling in her heart, and said, "You are becoming more and more careless when you speak now."
"In front of you, I can speak more bluntly." Fan Xian sighed, "I would like to help His Majesty, but I am a courtier after all, and I have no say in these matters at all, and I really don't know His Majesty. How did the lard deceive you, and dared to tell me so clearly."
"Perhaps elder brother thinks... for my sake, you won't hurt him." Lin Wan'er smiled wryly, "He thinks things are that simple since he was a child."
"The water in this capital is too deep. I swam for a long time, but found that I haven't reached the bottom yet." Fan Xian frowned and said, "When you go to the south of the Yangtze River in spring, go with me, try to stay there for a while, and really calm down for a while. .”
"I just don't know when the time comes, whether the imperial court will let you install an imperial envoy to check the internal treasury first, or just give you a vacant position." Lin Wan'er analyzed seriously: "If you are an imperial envoy, you can't bring your family members. Stationed in the south of the Yangtze River, it doesn't matter if I follow."
Fan Xian shook his head and said, "Whatever he arranges, I will take you away anyway."
"This is quite unreasonable." Lin Wan'er said with a smile, feeling a little sweeter in her heart. She also understood that no matter how much the rules were broken by Fan Xian and herself, no one would dare to say anything now. I just don't know if those women in the palace will agree to go to the south of the Yangtze River. She has been weak since she was a child, and the farthest place is only spent a winter in Cangshan Mountain last year. Listening to Fan Xian today, it seems that it is possible for her to go to Jiangnan. I am very happy to visit the legendary and picturesque Jiangnan.
"It's not too outrageous." She suddenly thought of something, looked at Fan Xian and said, "Although His Majesty issued a secret decree for the Tiger Guard to protect you, the people in Kyoto will always know that even though you are seriously injured now, the Tiger Guard will protect you." There are good reasons for coming here, but... the identity of the Tiger Guard is different, and it will be very dazzling when you are by your side."
Fan Xian stretched out his hand to touch his prickly beard, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Your Majesty is a wise man, and the reason for letting Tiger Guard come to his residence is naturally to protect you, the princess."
…
…
There was a knock on the door outside the room, and Fan Xian shook his head annoyed. It wasn't that he was annoyed that someone was disturbing him at this time, but that after he had lost all his true energy, he was far less sensitive to changes in the surrounding environment than before. At least not long in advance, you can hear the sound of approaching footsteps.
Fan Ruoruo led the imperial physician into the room, the imperial physician saw that Lin Wan'er was also in the room, hurriedly saluted, and turned his face away.
Unlike Northern Qi, Qing State did not have so many rules between men and women, not to mention that the imperial physician was old enough to be Wan'er's grandfather. His pedantic behavior immediately made everyone in the room laugh.
"Father... said, since my brother is in good spirits, I will talk to the imperial physician." Fan Ruoruo looked at his brother with a wry smile.
Fan Xian felt a chill in his heart, knowing that it was his father, a shameless person, who was finally unable to stand up to the imperial physician's hard work, and pushed him to his poor son to deal with. However, he had already made up his mind about the request of the imperial hospital, and looked at the imperial physician with a smile, and said, "My lord, I know the reason for your visit."
The imperial physician was about to speak, but Fan Xian hurriedly stopped him: "But with my appearance, it is absolutely impossible for me to give lectures at the mansion..." He looked at the old gentleman with an angry expression on his face, and said, "But... I will be in the mansion Dictate some content, print it into a book, and send it to your place."
The Imperial Physician was stroking his beard, and seemed to think that this was a good result, after a moment of pondering, he said: "It's just a way of medicine, the most important thing is to teach by example, just reading books, it's not very appropriate."
Fan Xian took a few breaths and said, "After the book comes out, if there are any doubts, I'll ask Ruoruo to explain it."
The imperial doctor was full of panic when he heard the words: "How can I let Miss Fan's family show her face?" During the operation in the palace, he watched from the side, knowing that Miss Fan's family... operated the needle herself, and never doubted her method.
"If Ruoruo doesn't understand anything, I have to teach her at home." Fan Xian sighed, "The First Prince must have conveyed my opinion before, and this matter cannot go too deep, but there are always some useful points to pay attention to." Matters, you can refer to each other with the imperial physicians."
He then said with a smile: "Furthermore, the teacher will return to Beijing soon. At that time, he will be responsible for giving lectures in the Imperial Hospital. His standard is much better than that of Ruoruo."
After the imperial physician was overjoyed, he was slightly worried: "Mr. Fei... I invited him several times back then, but if he doesn't come, I can't help it."
"I'll ask His Majesty for orders, don't worry." Fan Xian comforted the old man in front of him like a child, with a wicked smile on his lips.
After the imperial physician left satisfied, Fan Ruoruo exclaimed: "Brother, I don't understand anything, and I just followed your instructions that night."
"I can't help it." Fan Xian said with a helpless smile: "I'll first select high-temperature disinfection, isolate and infect those that are easy to start and write. I will talk about the rest when the teacher comes back. You can also learn along the way."
Fan Ruoruo froze for a moment, then a gleam appeared on his face, and he nodded emphatically.
Fan Xian and his wife were a little surprised that the younger sister would agree so readily, looking at her, she didn't know what to say.
"Brother, you always say that you should find what you like to do the most in your life, and then keep doing it." Fan Ruoruo lowered her head and said shyly: "That night, although my sister didn't do much, she watched my brother live. Only after I got here did I realize... It turned out that saving a person would be such a joy, so even if my brother didn't have this arrangement today, I would still ask my brother for medical advice."
Fan Xian opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak for a long time. Could it be that his reckless behavior will make a female doctor appear in the future of Qing Kingdom... But he didn't know that Fei Jie would teach another female apprentice, and eventually his sister would become Hua Bian Magpie is still Fenghua.
No! It must not be a female monster like Hua Bianque, of course it should be a beautiful Queen Mother of the West like Fenghua. Fan Xian looked at his younger sister's beautiful face, which became more and more animated due to excitement, and comforted himself, at least he had to be a Qingguo version of Dae Jang Geum.
…
…
It's night.
Sisi spread out the quilt, pulled out the vent of the stove just right, and went out of the house together with Siqi who brought in the water. The husband and wife lay quietly on the bed, watching the candles outside the pavilion gradually dim, and they didn't make a sound for a long time.
"Can't sleep?"
"Well, I slept too much for half a day... What about you? Why can't you sleep today? I remember when you were in Cangshan, you slept like a kitten every day."
"Speaking of cats... I don't know what happened to Xiaobai, Xiaohuang and Xiaohei."
"Everyone's vines were carried to the farm. You ordered them. Why are you thinking about them now?" Fan Xian said with a smile, eyes open.
Lin Wan'er muttered softly, "You said that keeping a cat is not good for having a child."
Fan Xian was taken aback, smiled wryly and remained silent. It's not easy to say in front of you that he really hates animals like cats, right? Whether it's an old cat or a kitten, seeing their lazy and cunning appearance makes me feel angry.
"Sister... Am I very useless?" Lin Wan'er turned her body sideways, exhaling like orchids on Fan Xian's face.
"It's itchy, scratch it for me." Fan Xian motioned his wife to scratch his face, and asked curiously, "Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"
Lin Wan'er gently scratched his ears for him, and pouted her lips in the dark: "People around me seem to have their own strengths, and they can all help you. Sizhe knows how to do business, and if she wants to learn medicine now, she She is a well-known talented woman in Kyoto. Mr. Xiaoyan will help you take care of the hospital affairs, let’s talk about that Haitang in the north... "
Fan Xianju coughed twice, barely breaking through the wound on his chest.
Wan'er gently stroked the upper part of his wound: "That's also a strange woman, I'm afraid she also has the big idea of peace and stability. Only I... I was poor in health since I was young, and I was pampered by so many people in the palace and grew up, but I didn't know anything. If you can do it, you can’t do it in writing or in martial arts.”
Fan Xian understood the meaning of his wife's words, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Wan'er, there are actually some things I haven't said to you."
"Um?"
"In life, it's good if it's useful, and it's bad if it's useless." He said softly, "These roles are not what we are willing to play. For example, my original wish was to be a rich and idle person. Yan Bingyun, in fact, why is he willing to be the leader of secret agents for the rest of his life, and it's not like you haven't seen the situation between him and Miss Shen's family."
"And to me, Wan'er, you are very special." Fan Xian had a soft smile on his lips, but he didn't look at his wife beside the pillow. "You grew up in the palace since you were young. A place that is filthy, dirty and dangerous, but it doesn’t change your disposition, it grows freely like a green lotus, and I, who is lucky enough to pick it off at will... This in itself is an extremely rare thing.”
Wan'er listened to Xiaoqing's words, her heart was sweet, but she was still a little sad: "But... after all, it's still..."
Fan Xian stopped her from continuing: "And... Wan'er, you are very capable. Even my younger brother dare not claim victory in mahjong."
The couple laughed.
"Furthermore, I actually know what you are really good at." Fan Xian was silent for a while, and then said very seriously: "You have more experience than me in judging the direction of the situation, and your foresight is amazing. After Chunwei, if you hadn't been active in the palace, I wouldn't have lived so comfortably... I believe that if you want to help me plan and plan, your ability must not be inferior to Yan Bingyun, it's just... just... "
Lin Wan'er opened her bright eyes, which were extremely calm: "Just what?"
"It's just that I don't want to, I don't want you to be involved in these things." Fan Xian said firmly: "These things are too dirty, I don't want you to touch them. You are my wife, so I have the responsibility to make you feel relaxed and happy." life instead of making you sad all the time."
"I'm a machismo," he concluded with a smile, "at least in this regard."
…
…
After a long time, Wan'er sighed, but there was a trace of satisfaction and comfort in the sigh, and said softly: "I am a member of the royal family after all, and there are some things in the future that you should not let you hear... Although I know you trust me , but you also said that these things are extremely filthy and unavoidable between husband and wife, I don't want you to doubt me in the future, I would rather you not tell me about it."
The marriage between her and Fan Xian started from His Majesty's finger of marriage, and it contained a clear political flavor. It's just that the goodness of the heavens made this young couple use chicken legs as a match to talk about their love through the window. Compared with ordinary political marriages, it seemed much more stable.
It's just that in front of politics, what if the husband and wife get closer again? Such tragedies are not uncommon in history. What's more, the eldest princess is her biological mother after all, so Wan'er's words are not hypocritical at all, and it's not about retreating, but really thinking about Fan Xian.
"Don't think so much." Fan Xian said calmly but firmly: "If a person can't even trust his closest relatives in his life, why should this poor life continue?"
What he wanted to say was that if life had the chance to start all over again, but he had to always be wary of the person next to his pillow, then he...would rather not have been reborn.
———————————
The first snowfall fell in Kyoto, and the small snowflakes fell on the ground and melted when they touched the mud, making it difficult to accumulate. The damp and cold in the houses are getting heavier. Fortunately, when the Qing Kingdom was in a strong and prosperous period, the supplies were plentiful, and even ordinary people's homes were not in danger of keeping warm. From a distance, they could see the places where the civilians gathered, and the black eaves were covered with black eaves. There is a lot of fog, and there must be heaters in the house.
A very ordinary carriage, after turning countless turns in Beijing, finally arrived in front of a private house with a separate courtyard. It was cold today, no one went to the street, and the surroundings were quiet, so naturally no one saw the faces of the people getting on and off the carriage.
Deng Ziyue carefully carried Fan Xian onto the wheelchair and pushed him into the courtyard.
Fan Xian was wearing a big cloak today. The fur collar was higher than his neck, which was very warm. He stretched out his hand to his lips and breathed out the hot air to warm him up. He glanced at the young man who was chopping firewood under Su Wenmao's command in the corner of the courtyard, and was slightly taken aback.
The young man looked familiar, his upper body was naked, and he didn't show the slightest chill in this winter, he kept chopping firewood.
"This is Si Lili's younger brother?" Fan Xian narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the young man, as if he wanted to find the shadow of the girl from the Northern Kingdom in him.
Deng Ziyue hummed lightly: "After your lord explained it, the dean issued a warrant again, and we picked him up from the prison. Miss Si entered the Northern Qi Palace. His identity is a little sensitive and it is difficult to arrange him. After asking for instructions last time , and arranged to come here.”
Fan Xian nodded. This small courtyard was his only private land. Apart from himself and the Qi Nian team, probably only Chen Pingping knew about it. It was the safest place. The reason why he came here today regardless of his injuries was because His Majesty transferred the tiger guards to him. Although the existence of these tiger guards could guarantee his safety, there must be His Majesty's eyes and ears watching him among them.
Thinking that it will be difficult to come here so easily in the future, so he came here today through the snow.
"This Mr. Si is a reckless person... for his sister can run from Beiqi to Qingguo, there is no guarantee that he will not run out of this courtyard in a few days." Fan Xian clenched his fist, coughed lightly, and said: "Watch Be tight, if there is any change, kill him."
Deng Ziyue responded blankly, and pushed him into the room, and the wheelchair ran over the muddy snow on the ground.
The Overwatch Council officials in the house came out to greet him. Looking at Mr. Tisi sitting in the wheelchair, he couldn't help but feel a little trembling. He seemed to have an illusion that there was another terrible Chen Pingping in Qing Kingdom.
