Views:

Si Lili felt that he had a beautiful dream. In the dream, he met his lover and was doing that embarrassing thing under the flowers and candles. After several cloud and rain, he woke up leisurely. What he saw was a still and somewhat strange man. pretty cheeks.

Only then did she think about what happened last night. The young master holding her was the handsome Mr. Fan, but she felt a little strange in her heart. Could it be that she drank too much wine, why can't she even remember those details? Thinking of this, a trace of resentment can't help but arise in my heart, knowing that I have finally embarked on the path that I have always resisted, but when I think of the remaining ecstasy memories in my mind, I can't help but pinch my legs and feel sore all over.

Noticing that the man beside him moved, Si Lili hurriedly pretended to be asleep. After waking up, Fan Xian looked at the girl's sleeping face like a flower, and he couldn't bear it any longer. He held her in his arms for a while, and then he washed and left the boat with his hands full of fragrance.

After a while, Si Lili opened his eyes and began to tidy up last night's battlefield. He didn't know what he found, but he let out a shy and suspicious exclamation.

When we left Huafang, it was not yet full light, and the prince was still sleeping in the room with Miss Yuan Meng in his arms, so Fan Xian didn't say hello. The reason why he was in a hurry to leave was because he had just arrived in the capital and it was inconvenient to sleep out. What's more, it was estimated that the Guo family would soon be in trouble, so he planned to go back to Fan's mansion to watch a play.

The reason why he didn't really have sex with that Lili girl last night was not because Fan Xian was such a moralist, it was purely a mental and physical cleanliness at work. It was difficult for him to accept what other men had touched. She is a woman, and in her previous life, she saw a lot of posters on the prevention and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases on the street, and she had a deep fear of venereal disease. There are no condoms in this world, so it’s okay to go shopping in brothels. If you really want to do something, it’s a bit risky.

It's just that there are sequelae, Fan Xian looked at the indecent protrusion of the clothes under his body, and sighed sadly, somewhat regretting that he didn't continue to develop something with Sisi when he was in Danzhou. When the sedan chair arrived at the corner gate of Fan's Mansion, one master, three servants and four men sneaked in to open the door, and ordered the guard who opened the door to keep quiet. The guard saw that it was the young master from Tengda and Danzhou, so they dared not be troublesome. I went back to sleep by myself.

Fan Xian went back to his room to catch up on his sleep. When he woke up, it was already daylight. He dragged his wooden clogs to the front yard, only to hear the commotion there. He guessed what was going on, but pretended to be At a loss.

It is said that this morning, Yin Mei Zhili of the Kyoto Prefecture was sleepy in the study, but unexpectedly heard a sudden sound of drums, and couldn't help being very angry. But the imperial court rules here, he did not dare to be negligent, went to the court, and after a burst of shouting, the master handed over the certificate.

When Mei Zhili saw the pleadings, his heart trembled. Neither the accuser nor the defendant were ordinary people. The plaintiff is the only son of Guo Youzhi, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and now the editor in the palace, Guo Baokun, who is famous for his talent, and the defendant is Fan Xian of the household servant Fan Jian's family. The complaint is that last night Fan Xian blocked the road and committed a crime, picking quarrels and beating up the court officials in the street.

Seeing the two surnames on the pleadings, Mei Zhili had the intention of withdrawing. Now the court is divided into two factions, one faction supports the crown prince, and the other faction is hidden, but secretly headed by the second prince. Guo Youzhi, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, was the prince's teacher back then, so he naturally belonged to the prince's school, and Fan Jian, the servant of the household department, had no inclinations on the surface, but he had always been on good terms with Prince Jing's mansion, and Prince Jing's son was well known by everyone. The second prince is a faction.

This case looks simple, but if one is not good, I am afraid that it will provoke criticism from the crown prince and the second prince. Thinking of this, Mei Zhili secretly scolded the ignorant Fan Xian. Fan Xian's reputation is now gradually getting worse. Jingdu showed up, and all the officials knew that he was Si Nanbo's illegitimate son raised in Danzhou. Mei Zhili thought to himself, you are staying on the edge of Danzhou, how do you know the dangers in this capital, you dare to commit murder in the street, I really don't know how to deal with it.

But it was clearly written on the pleadings, and there were all the witnesses and material evidence, so there was no way for Mei Zhili to delay. He frowned when he saw the paper, and sent a document to Sinan Bo's mansion to get someone, but on the other hand, he secretly sent someone to the household department yamen to inform Fan Shilang.

What Fan Xian saw was the scene where the servants sent by the Kyoto government came to arrest people. You must know that the Fan family has a close relationship with the royal family. They have been the only ones to arrest people in the past ten years. There is no reason for him to be arrested. The stick was raised long ago, and the family guards put on a posture of loyally protecting the lord, staring at those poor servants.

At the main gate of Fan Mansion, the guards had nothing to do, so they had no choice but to say good things, thinking that this is the meaning of the adults, no matter how aggressive your Fan Mansion is, you have to let that man go to the government office.

Fan Xian smiled, and was about to go forward to respond, but unexpectedly heard a young man yell, "Shoot out all the bastards wherever they come from!" Of course, those who dared to speak out and violently beat officials were none other than our bad-tempered one. Master Fan Sizhe.

Hearing the young master's words, the servant's guard roared and bravely moved forward with his stick, but thought that the opponent was an official servant, so he didn't really hit him, but just smashed on the ground to scare the opponent out. The officials were really angry now. They knew that they were not easy to mess with, so they didn't wear any of those dazzling guys with iron chains. Unexpectedly, they ended up miserable.

"What nonsense?" At this time, Liu Shi finally came out gracefully from the inside, frowned at the servants, ordered people to invite them in for tea, and then glanced at Fan Xian imperceptibly.

Fan Xian shrugged innocently.

In the flower hall, several servants looked at the lady restlessly. According to their identities, it was absolutely impossible for them to receive this kind of treatment. They also understood why the dignified Fan family was so polite, but it was also because of this that the tea tasted a bit unpleasant. If the other party got annoyed, what would they do with these little shrimps in the capital

After asking the ins and outs of the matter clearly, Mrs. Liu frowned and said, "Isn't that wrong? Our young master has been studying at home since he came back from the Prince Jing's Mansion poetry meeting yesterday. Niulan Street is far away from our Fan Mansion." , how could it be that the young master of our family went to beat his Guo family's son?"

The guard said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Guo personally identified this, besides..." He said in disbelief, "Mr. Fan really stayed in the mansion yesterday?"

Liu's soft gaze suddenly turned into two small knives, staring fiercely at the guard: "Could it be that our Fan family still lies?"

The guard was taken aback, and quickly shut up, but he would not just retreat, after all, the plaintiff was still waiting in court. Fan Xian sat quietly and calmly at the side, but he was a little surprised in his heart, wondering why Liu Shi would speak for him. In fact, he didn't understand the great clans of this era. No matter how fierce the strife within the clan was, once a foreign enemy came in, these clans would temporarily put aside all internal disputes and make all efforts to attack the outside world.

Mrs. Liu took a sip of tea, knowing that there was nothing the servants could do, and it was useless to embarrass them, she smiled slightly and said: "The Guo family said that we will fight? The world is nothing more than reason and human feelings. You can't say that they handed over a paper. Our family has to obediently respond, although our Fan Mansion is not very rich, but we still have some face in this capital. I am just curious, who is the one who handed over the papers in the government office today?"

"It's the housekeeper of the Guo Mansion." The guard thought that you, the Fan family, are not rich, and there are not many wealthy families in Beijing, so he quickly replied.

Don't say anything, when she heard that it was just a certificate handed over by a housekeeper, Aunt Liu raised her brows, slapped the table and scolded: "Calling a housekeeper to hand in a certificate, and asking our family to respond, how can there be such a reason? Didn't you say that Mr. Guo was beaten? What did the beating look like? Now that you have filed a complaint, you will go to sue yourself. Otherwise, I will ask the housekeeper to go to your yamen to file a complaint every day tomorrow, and I will accuse him of Guo Baokun's bullying and dominance. Regardless of whether my sue is justified or not, you have to let Guo Baokun wait at your yamen!"

Before the words fell, Liu Shi had already ordered loudly: "Butler Xu."

Butler Xu stood up with knowledge and interest, and answered "Yes".

Liu said coldly: "Call Mr. Zheng to quickly write more than a dozen complaints. From tomorrow, our family will go to the capital every day. Even if it doesn't scare the Guo family to death, it will exhaust the Guo family to death." After finishing the calculation, she still smiled and explained to the guards: "Mr. Zheng is a clean guest in the house, but I heard that he was also a master of punishment for your master a few years ago. It should be no problem to write the pleadings."

The guard thought to himself, this is not a way to scare the Guo family to death, it is obviously going to scare the Kyoto government to death, and begs for mercy: "Madam, please spare the little one, this matter... really Neither do we."

After Liu's long speech, she felt her mouth was a little dry, and reached out to take the teacup, only to find that Fan Xian had already handed it over with a smile on her face, and the two of them separated quickly after their eyes met.

The guard spread his hands and begged for forgiveness: "Then what do you say?"

Mrs. Liu pondered for a while, knowing that there must be an end to this matter, and it's not a problem to waste time here, and said: "If you want to talk about beating people, there is absolutely no such thing."

Fan Xian added: "There is absolutely nothing."

Liu said again: "I, Fan's family, don't quite understand why the Guo family wanted to offend our family."

Fan Xian was in deep thought: "A few days ago, there were some conflicts in the restaurant, and that Mr. Guo suffered a little. It's my fault."

Mrs. Liu was surprised and said: "There is such a thing? Then it is your fault, but... Could it be that Mr. Guo has a grudge because of this, so he came to falsely accuse you?"

Fan Xian frowned and replied, "Probably so."
