The servants who followed Fujikokyo to Danzhou were purchasing the specialty scented tea in the streets and alleys. The Earl in Beijing misses the taste of tea in his hometown very much. In the past, the old lady from Beppu asked someone to buy it and send it to Kyoto, but this time since the Earl's Mansion sent someone to buy it back.
A total of three carriages and seven people came from the Earl's Mansion, and the leader was Fujiko Jing.
He didn't hang out on the street with those low-level servants, and he kept wiping his sweat. The weather in Danzhou was indeed hotter than in Beijing. Originally, as soon as he arrived in Danzhou, he should go to Earl Befu to greet the old lady, but when he thought of this task, he felt a little guilty, so he asked the people below to buy scented tea, and he could sit in the tavern to calm down.
The second steward who was sent to Danzhou a few years ago has no news now, and his life and death are unknown. Everyone in the Earl's Mansion knew that there was an irreconcilable conflict between the first house in Beijing and the first house in Danzhou. Although Fan Xian was the only one in Danzhou, the facts made everyone secretly speculate whether the second housekeeper was out of business. What's up.
If it is really what everyone thinks, then the people of the Fan Mansion must re-examine the illegitimate son. After all, the year the second housekeeper had an accident, Master Fan Xian was only twelve years old. Disappearing could only be the order of the old lady—this proves that the old lady is on Fan Xian's side, and the life of the second wife is probably not going to be easy.
Fujiko Jing noticed that the date of the newspaper on the wall was the one from a month ago, and he had read it in Sinanbo's study. There is nothing new in the newspapers, those big men in the capital live very peacefully, there is no news about the war between the eldest prince and Xihu, and the incident of the illegitimate daughter of the prime minister seems to have gradually subsided, at least under the protection of the great emperor himself However, those young people at Yushitai did not achieve further results.
The lace edition of the newspaper is serializing the story of the first love of Mr. President of the Overwatch Council. Although His Majesty is behind the newspaper, if the extremely terrifying Mr. Dean, who is more insidious than jackals, is in the capital, the editors of the newspaper must I won't have the guts.
From this, it can be seen that Mr. Chen, who is deeply relied on by His Majesty, has not yet finished his journey to return to his hometown for vacation for the first time in twenty years. And His Majesty the Emperor would never make big moves in the absence of the Dean.
Thinking of the Earl's order, Fujiko Jing really didn't understand why it was necessary to pick up this unidentified young master back to Beijing before the dean returned to Beijing, and the matter was explained so urgently. He didn't dare to waste time anymore, even if the old lady was angry, he had to take the young master away... He wiped off his sweat, stood up, greeted his subordinates, and drove the carriage to the earl at the corner of Danzhou port. Go to the government.

Earl Beppu is rarely so lively, all the servants are standing at the bottom of the hall, curiously looking at the figures who look like servants standing in the middle of the hall. We all know that these people are all from the main prefecture of Kyoto, no wonder they look so energetic in their light blue clothes. It's just that Jingdu and Danzhou are far apart, and the two houses don't communicate much. It's rare to see so many servants from Jingdu, so the maids are all guessing what's going to happen.
Teng Zijing obediently led his hands and knelt down on the ground, kowtowed respectfully to the old lady a few times to greet the old lady, and then said all the words that Si Nanbo had confessed before leaving, and then stood quietly at the On the other hand, waiting for the old lady to make a ruling.
Fujiko Jing knew the old lady's true status in the Fan family, so she deliberately lowered her breathing, looking very respectful, but glanced at the young man who was standing behind the old lady holding her shoulders from time to time.
The young man is very beautiful, with long eyelashes, reddish thin lips, and soft and shining eyes. He looks like a girl, but the smile on his face makes people feel very kind.
This is naturally Fan Xian.
Teng Zijing sighed in his heart, such a jade-like person, but he is an illegitimate child with no status, this is really not fair. Seeming to be infected by the young man's sunny smile, Fujikokyo guessed that this young master should be much better at serving than the one in Kyoto's family, right
After hearing what the servant in front of her said, the old lady lowered her eyes slightly, and after thinking for a while, said in a low voice: "Got it, Zijing, go and rest, the journey of more than a thousand miles has been exhausting... Sisi, let Lao Huang Head to prepare hot water and meals."
The servants responded in unison, and the servants from Kyoto hurriedly thanked them, and then obediently left the hall. Although Fujiko was a little anxious, the Earl had given him a time limit, but he didn't dare to talk too much in front of the old lady, so he took a peek at the young master who was still a little strange, and then withdrew.
The hall fell silent.
"You heard it just now, your father asked you to come to Beijing." The old lady lightly put her hand on Fan Xian's shoulder and patted it gently, "What do you think?"
Although Fan Xian was smiling all over his face, he had already made plans in his heart. He was also very puzzled why his father insisted on calling him to Beijing at this time, and there was no warning at all. If he is going to plan a promotion for his illegitimate son, but the imperial examination competition has already started, it will take at least a month for him to go to Kyoto at this time, and he will not be able to catch up anyway.
Hearing the old lady's question, he thought for a while and said with a wry smile, "I've never been to Kyoto. Although I'm curious, I'm also a little scared."
This answer is half truth, half lie—the truth is that he is indeed very curious about the people in Kyoto, especially the place where his mother lived and fought, but he has no fear at all, and only a trace of unknown confusion That's all.
"Do you want to go?" The old lady smiled, seeming to see through what the young man was thinking.
"I think so." Fan Xian replied honestly, "I have lived in Danzhou since I was a child, and I have long wanted to go out for a walk."
"Oh, you don't want to be with me anymore?" the old lady joked.
Fan Xian giggled to make fun of it: "Yes, yes, the old ancestor will beat me up." He continued: "Anyway, the manager just said that my father is planning to move all Beppu back to Kyoto this time. Always go with grandma, I have nothing to worry about."
The old lady shook her head calmly, took him by the hand, let him stand in front of her, and said softly: "My body and bones can't bear this bumpy road. If you want to go, you can go. I'd better stay in Danzhou and watch." Home is good."
Fan Xian was taken aback, he didn't expect his grandma to be unwilling to go back to the capital, he didn't know what to say for a while.
