"Very good, you're finally angry." The corners of Sinanbo's lips curled up slightly, a smile slowly unfolded, and he said softly, "I've been listening to the news from Danzhou, and I thought you were a person who wouldn't get angry, son. , after all, you are only sixteen years old, if you hide your emotions in your heart, it will be very painful."

"So what?" Fan Xian looked at his father with a strange look, confirming something in his heart, "There is something I must tell my lord father in advance."

"whats the matter?"

"I... am not a very controllable person." Fan Xian's words were very straightforward.

"I didn't intend to control you... although you... are my son." Fan Jian, Earl of Sinan, looked into the young man's eyes coldly, as if he wanted to see some panic from Fan Xian's calm eyes. The marriage of the family is imperative, and this matter cannot be discussed."

Fan Xian lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said with a smile, "You can try it." It's just that this smile is full of confidence and persistence.

Si Nanbo seemed to be a little angry. He put his palms on the armrests of the chair and exerted a little force. The veins appeared. After a long while, he suppressed his anger and said with a sneer, "Why don't you understand, you child? That Miss Lin is gentle and considerate, knowledgeable and sensible." , is really a good match... Besides, with the current status of my Fan family, do we still need to rely on the marriage of children to stabilize the status? Is Lin Ruofu really worthy of our attention?"

Fan Xian was slightly startled, and felt that his father's demeanor did not seem to be fake, but... If even the dignified prime minister doesn't need to value it, why did he marry Miss Lin himself? Is it really just because Miss Lin's family is very good? Fan Xian would never believe this kind of inference.

"Why do you have to marry her?" Fan Xian asked with a frown.

Sinanbo Fan Jian smiled slightly, and said: "Because the mother of the Miss Lin family is the current eldest princess, and is His Majesty's own sister, but this eldest princess has never married, but secretly manages the royal family's business name, for the whole celebration. The country and the palace provide an endless stream of money."

Fan Xian was very shocked, thinking that his unmarried daughter-in-law turned out to be the eldest princess' daughter! Doesn't that mean that the prime minister has an affair with this eldest princess... even countless legs? No wonder the Prime Minister has climbed so smoothly from bottom to top over the years... It turns out that he took the route of face-to-face.

Few people in the world know this secret, and if my father hadn't grown up with His Majesty the Emperor, he would have never been able to detect it. Fan Xian suddenly realized that his father should not have told him such a deep secret.

Si Nanbo smiled and said: "You should also be clear that these words cannot be said outside, whoever says it will die. So if this word reaches your ears, you should pretend that you haven't heard it. The reason why I will tell you this The secret of the royal family is to let you be prepared so that there will be no mistakes when you get along with Miss Lin's family in the future."

Fan Xian suddenly thought of what Uncle Wu Zhu said before, his expression became a little sad, and he sighed: "The royal firm managed by the eldest princess...is it originally the Ye family's business?"

"That's right." Si Nanbo's eyes showed a trace of affection, he looked at the young man in front of him with admiration, and was a little surprised that the little guy could see through the real problem right away.

"His Royal Highness has only this daughter, and His Majesty has long ago decided to let the Royal Firm be managed by the Eldest Princess, so whoever marries Miss Lin and becomes Her Royal Highness's son-in-law may become the future owner of the Royal Firm. "

After talking a lot, Sinan Bo felt a little tired, but deep down he was a little excited. He stood up while leaning on the arm of the chair, stared at Fan Xian and said word by word: "That business was originally owned by your mother, so You're just taking back what's rightfully yours!"

There was a dead silence.

"Father is far-sighted, and my child admires it." Fan Xian bowed to his father and asked, "Although the other party is not a princess, she has the status of the royal family after all. Do you think we can take back mother's family business by doing this? I think that's a bit pretentious."

"Naturally, there are backhands. Don't forget that as a father, he is the servant of the household department, and he is also in charge of money matters." Fan Jian smiled, admiring the calm mind and attitude of the young man in front of him more and more, "And there is one thing I want Let me tell you, although the old thief Lin Ruofu doesn't have much say in this matter, he still has doubts about our marriage, so I hope you can perform better in the capital recently."

"Why?" Fan Xian was a little puzzled. Although Lin Ruofu was the prime minister and the head of civil servants, he was very aware of the position of the Fan family in this deep lake in the capital. Why do you still object? If one considers her status, that young lady seems to be from a not-so-distinctive background just like herself.

"Everyone has their own position, and different camps have to consider different things." Fan Jian explained lightly: "The Fan family is a big family in the capital, and Lin Ruofu is the head of civil servants. The two families secretly married, and the matter is very big. Lin Ruofu The reason why he is still hesitant is because he is afraid that His Majesty will doubt his intentions, and the second is that the young people in the subordinate civil service system will have two minds because of this matter."

Fan Xian sighed, and laughed at himself: "Thanks to me, I have thought about it a lot along the way. It turns out that this is just the burden of shaving your head. It's just the Fan family's unilateral idea."

"That's right, so you have to find a way to get that Miss Lin's family to recognize you." Fan Jian smiled, but he was a little puzzled: "The burden of shaving your head... What does that sentence mean?"

"Wrong." Fan Xian pursed his lips and smiled, without further explanation, he asked instead: "Father, there is something I've always been curious about, and I wonder if I can ask."

"Just ask."

"Forget it. It's already very late, my son will go to rest first." For some reason, Fan Xian stopped talking and said instead: "I'm not familiar with Kyoto, can you let Fujiko Jing follow me?"

"Fujiko Jing's management skills along the road are good, but he's only a fourth-rank expert..." Fan Jian frowned, "I'll arrange stronger guards for you, the water in Kyoto is very deep."

Fan Xian smiled and said, "No need, I finally got to know him well, so why change him?"

The father and son chatted a few more words, and seeing that it was late at night, Fan Xian bowed and left. There were maids waiting outside, who walked through the complicated corridors and led him to his bedroom.
