The happy life of a prodigal

Page 418

After a while, he seemed to have figured something out. With a smile on his face, he stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, laughing loudly: "Well said! It's my son! He has a bit of the courage of your father back then!"

Fang Xiu smiled and said nothing.

In fact, he also knew what this cheap old man was worried about, and he would worry about it occasionally.

However, the more you think about it, the more you will understand something.

For example, in this world, many things are beyond your control, no matter how you think about it, what can you do?

Can the facts be changed again?

No!

Unless you raise an army, but it's not easy to raise an army, let alone a teacher who has no name...

Most importantly, there is no need for this.

There was no conflict between the monarch and his ministers. According to those officials and rumors, as long as the emperor and him don't care, then it's no big deal.

The only problem is that the emperor is not always the emperor.

But the crown prince has not yet been established, so what is there to worry about?

The father and son were silent for a moment.

Fang Xiu suddenly thought of something, looked at Lin Zehou, and asked, "Father, what's the situation with that girl?"

As he spoke, he pointed to Fang Ru.

Seeing this scene, Fang Ru curled her lips, but said nothing.

Lin Zehou showed an embarrassing smile on his face, and said: "It's a long story, all in all, Ru'er saved Dad's life, and Dad saw her alone, so he wanted to take her as a foster daughter."

"..."

To be honest, Fang Xiu was a little surprised when the news was confirmed.

You know, he used to think that Fang Ru was lying to himself, but he didn't expect it to be true!

"I told you a long time ago that the thing I'm worst at is lying. If you still don't believe it, believe it now!"

Fang Ru put away her long sword, walked to Fang Xiu's side, and said angrily.

Fang Xiu didn't know what to say for a while.

At this moment, Lin Zehou seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "Boy, tell Dad honestly, what is the relationship between you and Princess An Le?"

Fang Xiu was slightly taken aback, and said very calmly: "Friend!"

Lin Zehou looked at Fang Xiu with a pair of eyes, and his meaning was very clear: It's all like this, and you still want to hide it?

Fang Xiu felt wronged for a while.

These days, no one believes the truth anymore?

Seeing that he didn't want to admit it, Lin Zehou shook his head and sighed: "It's fine if you don't want to say it, as an old man, I can't control you so much, so whatever you say is what you say.

It's just that our Fang family has been favored by the emperor for generations, so don't disappoint Her Royal Highness..."

How did you fail...

Fang Xiu was speechless and wanted to explain, but Lin Zehou turned and left.

Fang Ru stood behind him with a gloating smile on his face.

Fang Xiu turned around and glared at him.

Fang Ru stopped talking immediately.

After a while, she came to Fang Xiu's side, and said cautiously: "Brother, is what you promised before really worth it?"

"Did I promise before? What did I promise you before?"

Fang Xiu showed confusion on his face.

This is not pretending. After staying in Linze Mansion for more than a month, he has to deal with a lot of things every day. He has long forgotten about these sesame-sized things!

"you!"

Fang Ru heard this, but thought he was going to deny it, so she gritted her teeth.

Fang Xiu waved his hand and said, "Hurry up, or else I'll say it later, it won't count!"

When Fang Ru heard this, a smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Promise me, if I recite the laws of Da Chu and master the sword skills within a month, you promise me to be a policeman in the capital!"

"Ah? Is there such a thing?"

Fang Xiu looked bewildered.

He did forget.

Seeing that Fang Ru was about to bark his teeth again, Fang Xiu thought for a while and said, "Come on, first recite a section of the Great Chu law for me!"

"it is good!"

Fang Ru looked very confident, and immediately said: "The Law of Great Chu, Chapter 1, Article [-], everything..."

I recited it for several minutes in a row.

Fang Xiu was a little annoyed by what he heard, and waved his hands and said, "Chapter 3, what is the third one?"

"Chapter 3, the third article, all disobedience, rebellion..."

Fang Xiu asked several more questions.

Fang Ru answered very smoothly.

Fang Xiu was completely dumbfounded now.

At the beginning, he just talked about it casually, but he didn't expect Fang Ru to actually finish it!

He had already thought up his rhetoric, tempered her, and discussed this matter when she was older, but he didn't think of it.

Such a thick book was actually memorized in just one month.

Even Fang Xiu, at this moment, had some changes towards Fang Ru, and asked again: "How is your sword skill?"

6 Chapter Sixty

Fang Ru showed pride, raised her eyebrows, and said, "You can't talk about first-rate masters, but you can barely be considered third-rate!"

Fang Xiu listened and expressed disdain.

You know, in Chu State, third-rate master is not a derogatory term. How old is Fang Ru, and how long has he practiced swordsmanship?

He even dared to call himself a third-rate expert.

Fang Xiu looked at her with a thoughtful look on his face, and asked, "How to prove it?"

Fang Ru frowned, quite excited: "It's not easy, we'll know if we fight!"

"..."

Fang Xiu was speechless when he heard this.

A little girl who thinks about how to fight and kill all day long.

Fang Xiu looked at her and said, "Where's Zhao Yan? You beat her first."

Fang Ru curled her lips and said, "How many years has she practiced martial arts, aren't you bullying people like this!"

When Fang Xiu heard this, he thought about it and found some truth, so he waved his hand and said, "Then what do you want to do?"

Fang Ru blurted out: "It's very simple, I'll just go out and find some bandits!"

"..."

Fang Xiu was speechless for a moment.

This is indeed a good way to test her strength, but...

Fang Ming couldn't believe it. She could beat bandits. After thinking about it, he waved his hands and said, "Forget it, dance your sword, show me. If you look good, I'll count you as a passer!"

"it is good!"

Fang Ru was naturally happy when he heard this.

Pick up the long sword in your hand and start.

Fang Xiu watched from the side, his expression gradually changed over time.

From being careless at the beginning, to being a little caring later, and now being very serious.

Even he had to admit that Fang Ru really took a lot of work, otherwise it would be impossible to practice swordsmanship to such a level in just one month.

"Did you see it!"

Fang Ru withdrew her long sword and stood upright on the spot with a proud look on her face.

Fang Xiu looked at her with a pensive look on his face, not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing this scene, Fang Ru thought he was playing tricks, and gritted her teeth, "You promised me! You can't go back on it!"

Fang Xiu heard this and sighed.

He is not a good man, but he is an honest man who keeps his integrity.

Now that we have said that, what else can we do?

What's more, the matter of a woman being an official was originally within the scope of his plan.

Now it's just a little bit ahead of the plan.

"Okay, I will tell Xia Yixue about this matter."

Fang Xiu waved his hands.

After Fang Ru heard this, she felt a little displeased, and said loudly, "It's useless to tell Sister Xia, but I have to tell Lord Fu Yin of the Kyoto Prefecture!"

Fang Xiu glanced at her and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to do the research beforehand."

"Of course!"

Fang Ru frowned.

Fang Xiu looked at her and asked, "Then you should know how difficult this matter is?"

When Fang Ru heard this, her smile froze on her face, and she stopped talking.

Obviously, she knows better than anyone.

How difficult it is for a woman to be an official here.

Seeing her like this, Fang Xiu smiled, and said lightly: "Don't worry, since I promised you, I will naturally do my best!"

"Really?"

Fang Ru looked up at her, eyes full of surprise.

Fang Xiu nodded, and asked back: "Have I ever lied to you?"

Fang Ru thought about it.

Although her righteous brother is unreliable in words, his actual actions have always been very reliable.

Of the things he promised, there were indeed few things that were not completed.

So, with a firm look on his face, he said, "I believe in you!"

Fang Xiu listened, just smiled, and said casually: "You continue to practice swords, I will go to the palace."

The emperor had already said in the letter to him that when he returned to the capital, he would first go back to the mansion to have a look, and then go back to the palace.

He has something important to discuss with Fang Xiu.

But Fang Ru thought that Fang Xiu was doing the job of arresting the police for her, and at the same time she was moved, she showed a worried look on her face, and said cautiously: "Brother, if this matter is really difficult, forget it."

Fang Xiu listened and glanced at her, slightly surprised.

Then, he shook his head and said, "I have my own measure."

After finishing speaking, he turned and left Fang Mansion, mounted his horse, and ran straight to the palace.

Along the way, some policemen saw someone riding a horse and were going to stop him, but they didn't say anything when they saw that it was Marquis Xin'an.

Since he is the Marquis of Xin'an, there must be a reason for galloping his horse in Kyoto Prefecture!
