Chapter 286, Guest
The flow of people on the street quickly passed by, and the surrounding area was much more empty. Master Fan Xiaohou moved his arm and let Shi Fuxin come out: "There are so many people tonight, you are a girl's house, why are you watching the lanterns outside alone? What about your family?"
Shi Fuxin smiled and said: "I came with my two younger brothers and Brother Zhao, they went to watch the juggling." Then, she looked at Master Fan, "How about you, Young Master, why are you watching the lanterns by yourself? "
Master Fan Xiaohou said with a smile: "Mother took people to the lake to watch the lanterns. I didn't like it very much, so I went ashore and walked around."
Shi Fuxin: "Go boating and enjoy the lanterns, it must be very beautiful."
Master Fan Xiaohou looked at her: "Do you like it?"
Shi Fuxin thought for a while and said, "I've never seen lanterns in a boat."
Master Fan Xiaohou smiled: "Then do you want to try?"
Shi Fuxin's eyes brightened: "Is it okay?"
Master Fan Xiaohou laughed and said: "What's the matter, where are your brothers, let's all come together, so that they won't find you and worry."
Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, Shi Dinghao brought Shi Dingxu and Zhao Xiaogong to find him.
Seeing Lord Fan Xiaohou, the three of them were a little surprised.
Shi Fuxin hurriedly told the three of them that Lord Fan Xiaohou invited them to go boating and enjoy the lanterns, and the three of them applauded.
Master Fan Xiaohou didn't take Shi Fuxin and the others to meet Princess Chengyang, but called a painting boat alone, and took them on a tour of the lake to enjoy the lanterns.
Looking at Shi Fuxin and Master Fan who were sitting on the bow talking and laughing, Young Master Zhao touched Shi Dinghao's arm: "Since when did Sister Xin become so familiar with Master Fan?"
Shi Dinghao glanced hostilely at Master Fan Xiaohou, then at Shi Fuxin, and said in a muffled voice, "I don't know either."
Her sister is really a guy who values sex and despises younger brothers. With Master Fan Xiaohou, she will put his younger brother aside and ignore him.
"Ninth brother, look quickly, the boat has entered the imperial city." Shi Dingxu shouted happily.
At this moment, along the moat, the painted boat sailed into the imperial city.
Entering the imperial city, the lanterns on both sides of the river became more and more exquisite.
The imperial city is not something one can enter at will, especially on this kind of festival day, Shi Dinghao didn't care about being jealous anymore, and concentrated on looking at the scenery inside the imperial city.
It was near midnight (23:00) that Huafang re-exited the imperial city.
"careful."
When getting off the boat, Master Fan Xiaohou stepped down first, then stood on the shore, raised his arm, and let Shi Fuxin get off the boat with his arm.
"Thank you."
Shi Fuxin put her hand on Master Fan Xiaohou's arm and got off the boat, then thanked him.
Young Master Zhao, who was walking behind, couldn't help touching Shi Dinghao again: "When I felt the presence of Master Fan Xiaohou, Sister Xin instantly became a weak lady who couldn't take care of herself."
Although Shi Dinghao was not used to it, he still said: "When we are away from home, as men, we should take care of the girls more. Young Master Fan has done a good job in this."
When everyone disembarked, Fan Xiaohou looked at Shi Fuxin: "Do you want to continue watching the lanterns?"
Shi Fuxin shook her head: "It's getting late, it's time to go home."
Master Fan Xiaohou nodded: "I don't think you have brought a carriage, let's go, I will take you back."
Shi Fuxin looked at him.
She is a bit attentive, is she overwhelmed by her charm, fell in love with her?
Thinking of this, Shi Fuxin couldn't help but lowered her head and helped her temple hair, and smiled complacently with downcast eyes, she is still very likable.
But she didn't agree. It would be bad for her reputation to let a foreigner send her home after watching a lantern.
"Thank you, Young Master, but there are still brothers and sisters waiting for us, we have to find them."
Seeing this, Master Fan Xiaohou no longer insisted, but only told: "There are still many people on the street, be careful, don't be bumped into."
Shi Fuxin nodded in response, Shi Dinghao also said that he would take good care of his sister, and then separated from Master Fan Xiaohou.
Master Fan looked at the backs of the Shi family siblings leaving, smiled, turned and walked into the imperial city.
The little servant Qingfeng saw that his master was in a good mood, and asked curiously: "Young master seems to like the sixth girl of the Shi family?"
Master Fan Xiaohou said with a smile: "Don't you think the sixth girl of the Shi family is cute?"
Qingfeng hesitated for a moment: "But Mr. Yao said she was just pretending."
Master Fan Xiaohou smiled and knocked on Qingfeng's head: "Even if it's just pretending, it's just to please your son and me, so don't worry about it."
Qingfeng thought about it for a while and felt right, then smiled and said: "The sixth girl from the Shi family is indeed a little different from other girls. When other girls talk to the young master, they either talk about other things, or they always look at your face. They are not open at all."
"Unlike the sixth girl of the Shi family, she can say whatever she wants, and laugh whenever she wants, without being coy at all."
Master Fan showed agreement: "Isn't it? Talking to her makes me feel much happier."
After the Lantern Festival, there was a lotus lantern under the eaves of Lanyue Tower. The maids and mother-in-law in the yard noticed it. Every day, her girl would giggle at the lantern for a while.
"This lotus lantern is very ordinary, why do girls like it so much?"
Nurse Leng looked at the bewildered An Ran, smiled lightly and said, "The lantern is not important, what matters is the person who sent the lantern."
Seeing Shi Fuxin standing under the lotus lantern again, Mother Leng hesitated for a moment, and stepped forward to remind her: "Girl, it's not easy to think too beautifully about everything."
Shi Fuxin paused: "Nurse, what do you mean?"
Nurse Leng: "I met Xiaohou Fan by chance during the Lantern Festival, and the subsequent trip to the lake to enjoy the lanterns may just be an invitation from Master Fan out of courtesy."
Nurse Leng: "What I mean by this old slave is that Master Fan Xiaohou is a human being, and as a human being, there are good and bad sides. At the beginning, it is best not to have too high expectations."
Shi Fuxin nodded: "I know that." As she spoke, she turned around the lotus lantern with a smile, "I am very happy to receive this lantern, and now I want to enjoy this happiness. After a few days, I will It will fade naturally."
Turning the lanterns for a while, Shi Fuxin looked at An Ran: "After Shi Lang came back on the night of the Lantern Festival, he told his family about Li Fuzhi, did grandma and the others react?"
An Ran: "The old man and the old lady knew about Miss Fuzhi being a concubine for the fourth prince."
Shi Fuxin showed surprise: "You already know?"
An Ran nodded: "It was the second aunt who came back and said it. The girl knows that the second aunt and Master Zhengkun's family have always been very close."
"The old man and the old lady thought that it was not honorable for Miss Fuzhi to be a concubine, so they didn't publicize it loudly."
Shi Fuxin gave a 'hmm', thought for a while, turned around and went into the study, wrote a note to the cigarette bag, asking him to pay more attention to the situation of the Li family and the Zeng family, and then gave it to Xiaofang for her to send it over. .
The encounter with Master Fan Xiaohou during the Lantern Festival really put Shi Fuxin in a good mood, but it wasn't enough to make her indulge in it, and after a few days, the joy gradually dissipated.
Just when Shi Fuxin resumed her routine of going to the Women's Prison in the morning to attend classes at the National Women's Prison and visiting Hongyanxiao's shop in the afternoon, on the first day of February, Shi Dinghao brought Master Fan Xiaohou to the uncle's residence.
The reason is that the emperor wanted to test Master Fan Xiaohou's martial arts, so he had a fight with Shi Dinghao.
The two are evenly matched, and it's fun to watch, and it's also a lot of fun to fight.
The two of them struck up a friendship like this.
Then again, when he was on an errand, the fourth prince caught Shi Dinghao's mistake and made an inexplicable attack. It was Master Fan Xiaohou who helped him out.
In order to express his gratitude, Shi Dinghao invited Master Fan Xiaohou to come to his house as a guest.
Shi Dinghao first took Master Fan Xiaohou to see Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Shi, and then led him to Yigui Courtyard. When it was time for dinner, he invited him to have dinner with his family.
At the dinner table, Master Fan Xiaohou looked at Shi Fuxin as soon as he picked up a dish with his chopsticks. Xin burst out laughing.
"Sister Xin!"
Jin Yuee looked over at the dinner table disgruntled, and glared at her daughter warningly.
Shi Fuxin held back her laughter, and ate her food sullenly.
Jin Yuee looked at Master Fan Xiaohou: "Master Fan, I don't know if the food suits your taste?"
Master Fan Xiaohou hurriedly said: "Auntie, it's good if you call me Mingyu. The food is very tasty, and I enjoyed it very much."
Jin Yuee saw that Master Fan likes to eat the food at home, she immediately showed a smile, but at this moment she heard her daughter call Master Fan by his name.
"Fan Mingyu"
Jin Yuee immediately said: "Sister Xin, you are not allowed to call the young master by his name."
Master Fan Xiaohou said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if it's auntie. The sixth sister calls me Mingyu, which makes me look closer. It's more natural to call me Master Xiaohou."
Shi Dinghao said: "If you want to call him, you should call him Brother Mingyu."
Master Fan Xiaohou took a quick look at Shi Fuxin, but didn't speak.
Jin Yuee felt that something was wrong, so she picked up a chopstick and gave it to her son: "Eat your meal." She picked up another chopstick for Shi Fuxin, "You should eat well, too."
Shi Zhenghe smiled with a 'hehe', looking at Young Master Fan: "I heard that Young Master Fan is very skilled, it really is a tiger father without dogs."
Master Fan Xiaohou hurriedly said: "Uncle, I heard from Ding Hao that my uncle has practiced kung fu from a foreigner's family to perfection. I don't know if the younger generation will be lucky enough to learn a thing or two?"
When he was in the Northwest Army Garrison, Shi Zhenghe also liked to find someone to discuss with others, because only in this way could he know his own shortcomings.
"Okay, after eating, let's go to the martial arts field to compete."
Master Fan Xiaohou was very happy: "Uncle must be merciful!"
After dinner, Shi Dinghao led Master Fan Xiaohou to his brother Shi Dingxuan's yard, and Shi Fuxin followed.
"The training ground of the martial arts champion looks unusual."
Master Fan Xiaohou showed regret: "I heard from the imperial guards that Fifth Brother Shi is very skilled in martial arts. I wonder if there will be a chance to compete with him in the future?"
Shi Fuxin looked at him: "You haven't fought my father yet, you've been thinking about my brother." After a pause, "My sister is also good at martial arts, don't you want to compete with her too?"
Master Fan Xiaohou shook his head: "I am a man, how can I fight a woman?"
Shi Fuxin: "What's wrong with the girl?"
Master Fan Xiaohou said with a smile: "Women are delicate, men should give in a little bit, how can they fight with women."
Shi Fuxin: "What if the woman hits you?"
Master Fan Xiaohou laughed and said, "How can a woman hit a man?" Fu Xin seemed to want to refute when she saw it, and asked with a smile, "Sixth sister, let me ask you, has your aunt ever hit your uncle?"
Shi Fuxin shook her head.
Fan Xiaohou asked again: "At that time, did other female family members of the family have any hands on their husbands?"
Shi Fuxin still shook her head.
Master Fan Xiaohou: "That's enough, women don't do anything to men."
Shi Fuxin saw that he spoke firmly, but couldn't find anything to refute.
Right at this moment, Shi Zhenghe came over and greeted Master Fan Xiaohou.
When he left, Mother Leng saw Fu Xin still frowning, stepped forward and said, "Master Fan should mean that women dare not fight men."
Shi Fuxin turned around: "Is that what he meant?"
Nurse Leng also nodded affirmatively.
