Chapter 12 Basic Qualities of Thieves
Instruct Teng Zijing to find a remote and deserted street to stop.
Fan Xian looked at Zhou Ji who suddenly became silent, and said in a deep voice, "Zhou Ji, I still have something important to do. If you don't give up, you can come to my house and wait for me first, is that okay?"
Zhou Ji was full of thoughts at the moment, so he nodded, and asked about 2020 when Fan Xian returned home.
"Take the car back to the house later, and don't let others know that I left." Fan Xian asked Fan Ruoruo and Fan Sizhe, "This brother Zhou is an old friend I haven't seen for many years. Please treat me well when you come to the house."
"Where are you going?" Fan Sizhe glanced at the silent Zhou Ji, then at the sword case next to him that could be used as a coffin, swallowed, and hurriedly asked.
"You have to ask again, I won't sell you the book." Fan Xian noticed Fan Sizhe's eyes, understood immediately, and smiled, "Don't worry, I just talked to Brother Zhou, he won't hurt you."
"You agree to my book sale!" Fan Sizhe grasped the key point of this sentence, and immediately patted his chest in agreement.
Fan Ruoruo trusted Fan Xian since she was a child. From Yishiju just now to the confrontation with Guo Baokun downstairs, she had a good impression of Zhou Ji. She nodded and said, "Brother, go. Don't worry, I will entertain you as a friend. "
Fan Xian nodded slightly at Zhou Ji, got out of the car, and rushed towards the Inspection Institute.
After Fan Xian left, Fan Sizhe's small thoughts began to come alive again. The "Red Mansion" matter was settled, and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was also done! After listening to Zhou Jiyin's Linjiang Immortal in the restaurant, he felt that it was a good poem. If such a good poem is used as a preface, the book must be a good book.
With Fan Xian's guarantee, Fan Sizhe broke away from the sleeves that Fan Ruoruo was pulling, and asked, "That. Zhou. Hero Zhou, can I ask you a question?"
Zhou Ji calmed down, suppressed all the messy and disorderly thoughts, and said with a smile: "The name Zhou Daxia is too awkward, I am about the same age as Fan Xian, you can call me Zhou Ji like him, or you can call me Brother Zhou. "
"Then how much did you write about "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? Is it a book? What is it about? Will it sell well?"
"Fan Sizhe!" Fan Ruoruo shouted.
As if feeling that his sister was really angry, Fan Sizhe shrank back in his seat and made a quail shape, muttering in a low voice, "You won't even be allowed to ask."
""The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" tells the story of heroes competing for the throne in ancient times, and dynasties changing." Zhou Ji waved his hand to signal Fan Ruoruo not to be angry, and smiled: "I am ashamed to say that I did not write this book, and I only remember the general content. Mr. Fan really wants to print it, you can ask Fan Xian, he may be able to write it."
Just kidding, Fan Xian can write long and boring novels like "Dream of Red Mansions" silently, as well as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Journey to the West".
There are many reasons why I didn’t write it before. It may be that "A Dream of Red Mansions" is easier to please girls, or it may be that the other three masterpieces involve rebellion and anti-feudal content, so it is not convenient to write.
Anyway, it's better to push this kind of trouble on Fan Xian as much as possible. After all, he has three fathers, so he can't afford to provoke him.
"What, that is to say, are you fooling me?" Fan Sizhe curled his lips and immediately lost interest.
Fan Ruoruo, as the "No. 1 Talented Woman in Kyoto", was actually a little curious about Linjiang Immortal. Seeing that Fan Sizhe stopped asking, she couldn't help but said, "Young Master Zhou, Ruoruo has never heard of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" you mentioned before. But, could it be that Mr. Cao Xueqin did it too?"
Zhou Ji smiled and said: "That's not the case. The author of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is named Luo Guanzhong. This book has many taboos and is not suitable for reading in the boudoir."
The more taboo, the more curious Fan Ruoruo is. She is not like an ordinary lady with a delicate personality. She may put on a show in front of outsiders, but in private, she even disguises herself as a man in Zuixianju to join in the fun.
After repeated questioning, Zhou Ji had no choice but to give her a general introduction to some passages of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Whether it is "the general trend of the world, the long-term separation must be united, the long-term unity must be divided", or "Looking at the Jieshi in the east, you can see the sea", or "Visiting the thatched cottage three times, and the Baidi City entrusts the solitary" to hear her relaxed and happy. Feeling deeply in my heart, I wish I could live in the era of separatist regimes and appreciate the demeanor of those heroes.
The carriage arrived at the market in the west of the city, and it happened to be blocked head-on by a carriage from the princess' mansion.
Fan Sizhe staggered and almost fell off his seat. Fan Ruoruo lifted the curtain of the car and said with a frown, "The carriage of the princess's mansion."
First, there was a provocation from the prince's disciples, and now they are intercepted by the princess's mansion. Whether it is intentional or unintentional, it has been troubled here.
"Let's just step back and get out of the way." Fan Ruoruo said softly.
At this time, a woman in a red dress on the carriage of the princess's mansion just opened the curtain to ask. When she saw Fan Ruoruo, she couldn't help showing joy, and waved: "Miss Fan, wait a moment."
"Who is it?" Fan Sizhe asked curiously, rubbing his bumped elbow.
Fan Ruoruo hesitated and said, "Ye Linger, the young lady who guards the Ye family in Kyoto."
"Then you get rid of her." Fan Sizhe didn't care.
Fan Ruoruo frowned and said, "Leaving aside Ye Linger, I think there are others traveling with me."
Zhou Ji lifted the curtain of the car and took a look, then said with a smile, "There are two people in the car, both of whom are women. One has a long breath of martial arts, and the other has a weak constitution and intermittent breath, as if suffering from a gas disease."
"You know all this!" Fan Sizhe looked at Zhou Ji dumbfounded, and blurted out, "Are you still human?"
In the world of Wulin Gaiden, he could sit in the inn and hear the height, weight, and body characteristics of the people coming from the entrance of the alley. Now there is only a few meters away, only covered by gauze curtains, if you can't see it again, wouldn't his eight years of stealing the saint be in vain?
Fan Ruoruo said in amazement: "Ye Linger is used to one person and one horse, why did she suddenly change to a carriage? If it is according to what Mr. Zhou said, the other person in the carriage is weak, and it is very likely that it is Lin Waner from the princess' mansion."
While she was speculating about the identity of the other party, Ye Linger was also talking about this with Lin Waner.
"It's the carriage of Fan Mansion. I saw Fan Ruoruo just now." Ye Linger lowered her voice and said softly, "I just heard from people in Fan Manor that they were going out together. Fan Xian should be in the carriage right now."
Perhaps because the curtains were opened just now and some wind came in, Lin Wan'er even coughed a few times and her face turned pale, "Since we met on the street, I'll get out of the car and talk to him."
After speaking, there was another light cough.
Ye Ling'er hurriedly supported Lin Wan'er, and said worriedly: "Your cough worsened today, don't get out of the car anymore, I'll go and invite him here."
After finishing speaking, he carefully lifted the curtain of the car and walked towards Fan Ruoruo.
Fan Ruoruo folded his hands on his lower abdomen, and with a smile on his face, he saluted Ye Linger, and said with a smirk: "Miss Ye, I haven't seen each other for a long time, how are you doing these days?"
"Miss Fan, I'm not here to gossip with you today." Ye Ling'er loves the house and Wu, and Lin Wan'er doesn't like this marriage, so she naturally doesn't like Fan Xian either. That son has returned to Beijing recently, I don't know if he is in the car."
"I don't know why Ms. Ye is looking for my brother?"
"Princess Lin Family, I would like to ask Young Master Fan to meet you." Ye Linger ignored Fan Ruoruo's rhetorical question, and turned sideways to salute Fan's carriage.
After a long time no response, Ye Linger saluted again, her voice raised a bit.
"The Princess of the Lin Family, I would like to ask Master Fan to meet you."
