Celebrating more than two years of peace in the world

Chapter 163 Re-entering Chen Garden
Fan Xian had a chance.

It is well known that Fan Xian is Ye Qingmei's son.

Fan Xian was originally prepared to accept a wave of investigations about the superiors, and even a conversation with His Majesty the Emperor himself, but there was nothing.Even the mysterious palace was silent this time.

The Senate and the Procuratorate's memorials to court in the past few days are estimated to fill up the imperial study, all of which are related to the investigation of Fan Xian. The Overwatch Council cannot use such a person who has a history of rebellion against the Qing Dynasty to occupy a high-level position.

It was said that Fan Xian attempted to seek power and usurp the throne and killed Chen Pingping.There were also fan Xian who was the remnant of the Ye family who tried to take power in the treasury to cut off Daqing's grain and silver, and there were also fan Xian who was Ye Qingmei's reincarnation.

Everything is available.

But the palace ignored it, and all the memorials presented by the three courts turned into things carried and burned by the eunuchs in the palace. Even the emperor threw them directly into the stove when he heard that it was related to this matter.

The stove in the palace has been extraordinarily warm these days.

The palace didn't respond, and Fan Xian couldn't respond, but because of this, the Overwatch Council also left Fan Xian idle.

Fan Xian had a rare moment of leisure. He stayed with Lin Wan'er and Fan Shuning in his room every day, or went out to walk with Old Lady Fan and Liu Ruyu.Only after Fan Jian returned to the mansion every day, the two of them talked in detail, but didn't say much.

Fan Jian still looks like a strict father, but this time back, Fan Jian's status has dropped a lot after all. During the meal, the main seat became the old lady Fan, and Fan Jian and Liu Ruyu sat in Fan Xian's seat. Opposite Lin Wan'er, Fan Ruoruo sat at the end.

Fan Xian on the Overwatch Council also handled it properly. Not only did Qu Han, Deng Ziyue and Deng Zifei be directly arranged to live in Beifang City in the capital city, but they were also formally registered as the undercover agency of the Overwatch Council.

In addition, Fan Xian used his power as the vice president and transferred Su Wenmao directly from the shadow, which stabilized the impetuous thoughts of those who followed him along the way.

Although those people who entered the Overwatch Council were not used to it, they felt more comfortable. After all, they had a serious job, and they walked the streets on weekdays, and became spies on the streets with Shi Chanli. One day Fan Xian saw Deng Zifei Passing in front of Fan's house, he looked like a spy.

Just a pair of sunglasses.

What Fan Xian was most worried about was satisfactorily resolved after Fan Jian returned to Shangshu Mansion one day.

The Kyoto garrison openly recruited people around the city of Kyoto to join the army, but this time there was no appeasement money, and no subsidy for farmers.This made people dumbfounded. First of all, not to mention the number of garrison troops in the capital city, people outside have no idea, but if you don’t give subsidies to farmers, who will throw their children into it directly?

There are not so many people who can't afford to eat in the capital city.

Not to mention the children of rich families, it is impossible to enter the Kyoto garrison.

And those young people who have dreamed of serving the country since they were young, have to wait for you this time?
He had already enlisted in the army a long time ago, so the conscription this time was just for show, in order to put the [-] private troops brought by Fan Xian into the garrison of the capital city. There is a direct and convenient way to deploy troops.

The eldest prince was not stingy, and directly added this private army to a new establishment. The official positions of ten and centurion commanders did not change, and they stayed outside the capital forcibly.

The First Prince absolutely didn't know that this act would save his life in the future.

Of course that's all for later.

After everything was arranged properly, Fan Xian finally felt relieved. Today, Wang Qinian went to the Shangshu Mansion to report his daily work as usual, but Fan Xian was not in the mansion, in fact, he was just not in the front yard.

After Fan Jiancheng became a minister, Fan Mansion can be expanded according to Qing law.

Although Shang Shu and Shi Lang are one rank behind in control, but when it comes to the stage, there is a huge difference.

Before Fan Xian went to Northern Qi, Liu Ruyu was already working on the expansion, and now it has been completed.

Although it was not as grand and beautiful as the Fan Mansion in Danzhou City, it was full of fairy spirit, and Fan Xian liked this place better.

Later, after Fan Ruoruo returned to the Shangshu Mansion, she ordered someone to circle a place for herself. She said that she wanted to study some extremely secret matters, and even asked her brother to find a few spies from the nursing home to protect her.

Fan Xian also knew the importance of this matter, so instead of arranging spies, he directly dispatched two tiger guards in. On the one hand, he directly cut off the idea that someone with a plot to enter Fan's mansion from the backyard, and on the other hand, It was to hide the matter of Professor Wuzhu Fan Ruoruo.

In this way, the two can do some training quietly and without being disturbed by outsiders.

"Pick it up." Wu Zhu said with a cold face.

"Farewell, you have swung your sword a thousand times today." Fan Ruoruo said.

"How many times yesterday?" Wu Zhu asked.

"One thousand yesterday!" Fan Ruoruo exclaimed angrily, "One thousand yesterday, one thousand today, and the completion today is faster than yesterday!"

"Yesterday one thousand, today one thousand, if you don't move forward, this is regressing. Why do you regress after practicing for days? Today is [-]!" Wu Zhu said.

"Huh?" Fan Ruoruo's face was full of lovelessness.

Fan Xian looked at Fan Ruoruo cheerfully, as if he was still a child, but this was still good, Wuzhu didn't directly throw Fan Ruoruo from the sky, Fan Xian also sighed secretly, Even though my younger sister is talented and intelligent, she can't stand Wu Zhu's torture, so she said randomly, "You have just swung a sword for a few days, and you are already a martial artist?"

"That's not right!" Although Fan Ruoruo said no, but his body was still very honest, he picked up the long sword next to him and continued to practice.

At this moment, a tiger guard walked in and said something to Fan Xian in a low voice.

Fan Xian nodded, then stood up to leave.

Wu Zhu stopped him.

"Just wave your sword, I'll come as soon as I go." After leaving this sentence, the expressionless Wu Zhu left the place with Fan Xian.

Thinking about something, Fan Ruoruo was no longer surprised by it.

Fan Xian and Wu Zhu hadn't seen each other for a long time. Fan Xian was a little curious. After walking into the garden in the backyard, Fan Xian found a secluded place and sat beside the handrail of the gazebo. Then he asked, "What's the matter?" Uncle Wuzhu?"

"Your strength has improved." Wu Zhu looked at Fan Xian and said.

"Famous teachers produce excellent apprentices, isn't it natural for me to improve?" Fan Xian laughed.

"Your identity...was exposed." Wu Zhu said again.

Fan Xian shook his head this time, "Uncle, don't worry, this kind of thing is just a groundless rumor. The public says that the public is right and the woman is saying that the woman is reasonable. No one has a conclusive proof. The emperor is now hiding under the covers and motionless. What are we in a hurry for, don't be in a hurry."

Wu Zhu nodded, and said again, "There are a lot of people around Fan's mansion recently."

"Yes." Fan Xian's face became less light-hearted, "I've caught a few, but I can't find out where they came from. I guess I wanted to do something in this capital or eavesdrop. Those who are really brave are indeed a little bit big."

"The cripple seems to know something." Wu Zhu said.

Fan Xian looked at Wu Zhu suspiciously. He knew that the cripple in Wu Zhu's mouth was Chen Pingping, but Fan Xian didn't know what he meant by knowing what, so he asked directly, "Chen Pingping? What do you mean?"

"In the absence of the emperor, he let the shadow enter the Taiping Courtyard three times. Although nothing was found, I know that the cripple must have some evidence." Wu Zhu said rationally.

Fan Xian nodded, "Chen Pingping is thoughtful, she should have caught uncle's traces and acted like this, presumably she didn't discover the conversation between you and me, besides, Chen Pingping's thinking has been captured by me to the extreme north. Near the temple, he could not have thought of the connection between there and the temple."

"Has he ever talked to Ye Liuyun?" Wu Zhu asked suddenly.

"Ye Liuyun?" Fan Xian was puzzled, "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"Because after entering the capital city, Miss only communicated with Ye Liuyun, and Ye Liuyun was the only one who went to the Taiping Courtyard." Wu Zhu explained.

Fan Xian nodded in a sudden realization, and said nothing else, "I'll check this matter, Uncle, are you still in Taiping Hospital lately?"

"That's right." After mentioning these four words, the corners of Wu Zhu's mouth turned up, and he said, "Didn't you say that we don't want to investigate the bottom of the lake? I've never been to the bottom of the lake, but the surrounding area is still Take a turn when you have time."

Fan Xian looked at Uncle Wu Zhu calmly, "If there are any more problems, let's communicate again."

"it is good."

……

When he walked to his study room, he saw Wang Qinian waiting, and Fan Xian sat down beside his desk, "What's the matter, old Wang?"

"My lord, there is nothing to do, and there is nothing to do in the courtyard recently." Wang Qinian said.

"Qu Han took over?" Fan Xian asked.

"Yes, Qu Han has arrived at Baoyue Tower. He has been familiarizing himself with the process with Sang Wen for a while. When he is familiar with it, it will be over. I will report to you at that time." Wang Qinian said.

Fan Xian seemed to be thinking about something. He looked at Wang Qinian calmly, and suddenly asked, "Has the caravan entered Jiangnan Road?"

"Go in." Wang Qinian said, "There are reports from the second and fourth divisions. Now the caravan has successfully entered Jiangnan Road, but the goods are still lost."

"Why?" Fan Xian didn't seem to be surprised at all, he asked calmly.

"It is said that pirates are rampant. One of the four ships that were originally prepared in Danzhou Port was robbed. There were no survivors on the entire ship. When someone discovered it, the entire ship was already dead, and there was nothing left. It's the cabin." Wang Qinian explained.

Fan Xian leaned back and nodded in understanding, "That's the thing. I saved the silver taels in the inner treasury, and I should have been robbed of them. The amount is a quarter."

"Yes." Wang Qinian replied.

"It seems that the profit of this sea route is far greater than that of other roads. After all, the three roads to the south of the Yangtze River all converge in Danzhou, and are frequently robbed by the pirates on the sea, and the pirates on the sea are also very thieves. There is a way, just grab one." Fan Xian smiled, "These people are really interesting, and the court couldn't kill them, and they didn't let them go."

"What are the measures in Danzhou now?" Fan Xian asked.

"Strengthen the sea defense, and add some naval forces to Jiangnan Road and Danzhou Port." Wang Qinian said.

"After stealing his mother's life for five or six years, now we have added some sailors?" Fan Xian was taken aback, "Is this a way of showing favor to me who is about to take office? Or do you simply look down on me, Fan Xian?"

"This..." Wang Qinian didn't dare to answer.

Fan Xian didn't make things difficult for Wang Qinian, so he said, "Leave this matter alone, old Wang, get ready, we'll go out and stay for a few days."

"Where are you going?" Wang Qinian was puzzled.

"His Royal Highness the First Prince asked me to go to Chen Yuan. I think I have nothing to do recently, so I went to meet him for a while. I always feel that the First Prince has given me a lot of green lights. I should not keep disappointing. Besides, Wan Er also said that she misses her big brother, so let's see him as soon as he sees him. By the way, he will stay for a while, and he didn't play Chen Garden all the time last time. This time, let's see if grandma is willing to go with him." Fan Xian Glancing at the blue and green on Wang Qinian's face, he said, "Okay, if you're not allowed to go, you can just lead a way and come back."

"Hey!" Wang Qinian laughed, "Thank you, my lord."

Fan Xian, who was invited, did not rush directly to Chen Yuan excitedly, but stayed in Fan Shangshu's mansion for a while in a pretentious manner.

The Eldest Prince was just a message to Fan Xian when he brought the defense plan to the palace through the military certificate. It was about three days later, which is today's day.

Early in the morning, Lin Wan'er and Fan Ruoruo had almost packed up, and the two of them packed their bags neatly.

When Fan Xian got up, the two anxious girls were basically ready, and they were all eating breakfast in the courtyard. After Fan Xian got dressed, he arrived at the courtyard where several people were.

Fan Shuning stayed in Taixue Institute, it's better not to take her around during this time, her identity is not so ostentatious, no one will touch her for a while.

"Let's go."

Since Mrs. Fan returned to the capital city, the queen mother and empress have also come forward to send congratulatory gifts. His majesty the emperor even sent three large boxes of supplements from the Dongyi offering directly from the palace to Fan Shangshu's mansion. I gave the nanny enough face, so I used this method to tell the world that my nanny has arrived, so please stop gossip.

But after Mrs. Fan arrived at the Shangshu Mansion, other people were just so-so, except that she doted on her grandson Fan Xian, which also made Liu Ruyu and Fan Jian a little jealous, but the three of them were almost two hundred years old together, that is It's just old folks' jokes.

Mrs. Fan abides by the rules. Even the well-behaved old lady who has to take care of the brocade that Fan Jian wears today, after seeing Fan Xian who did whatever he wanted, she didn't reprimand her, but smiled at Fan Xian. Xian said, "Come and sit down quickly, today's bone broth is pretty good."

"I heard that I was going to live in Chenyuan for a while, so I got up early in the morning to make soup, and boiled my bones for two hours. I was afraid that these children would get cold when they went to Chenyuan in early winter, so it's better to eat warmer. "Liu Ruyu looked at the children in front of her cautiously, feeling distressed from the bottom of her heart. After all, she also knew that if she didn't treat Fan Xian better, Fan Sizhe, who was thousands of miles away, would not be any better.

"Well, you survived well." The two hours of work and the hard work of waking up at night were summed up in three simple words. Mrs. Fan's concise and concise words were regarded as praise, but she looked at her granddaughter-in-law Lin Wan'er and said with a smile on her face. "Wan'er should also pay attention to her body, I brought some fine satin from Danzhou, let Xian'er go out to find the best tailor in the capital city to measure two clothes for you, and also measure one for Ruoruo. "

Well said, the enemy of an enemy is a friend. Mrs. Fan handled the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law very well, but it was because when Fan Xian set off from Danzhou City, she suspected that Liu Ruyu would do anything to Fan Xian. It was finally the misunderstanding was resolved, Mrs. Fan's years of grudges seemed to have become a habit and it was not easy to change in a short while, plus she was getting older, no one dared to say a word, Fan Jian could only persuade Liu Ruyu not to be common sense.

But when he was talking about this, Fan Jian suddenly answered, "Why does Wan'er only have two clothes, and Ruoruo only has one."

In fact, it was just a trivial matter, and Fan Ruoruo didn't take it to heart. Besides, when Fan Ruoruo was in Danzhou City, he didn't take less from his grandma, not to mention clothes, even a lot of gold and silver jewelry. There are many more, so she also knows that Mrs. Fan is just deliberately trying to build a reputation for her brother and sister-in-law. In the end, Fan Jianyi Gulong pierced the window paper for something the Lord didn't worry about.

Mrs. Fan certainly understands her child's disposition. What does Fan Jian look like? If others don't know, how can she not know?
Dang put the bowls and chopsticks in his hands in front of him, and said lightly, "Hey, Ruoruo, this child has been working hard recently, I see that his legs and hands are all bruised and purple, and clothes with too much satin are not good. , Grandma brought you something."

As he spoke, the servant behind him came over directly, and opened the brocade box in front of everyone.Mrs. Fan immediately turned to take out the white clothes inside, and said, "This is the thousand-layer cotton brought back from Dongyi City back then. The cotton wool is very thick, but it doesn't feel heavy at all when worn on the body, and it doesn't feel heavy. Becoming a burden, although it was rewarded by His Majesty back then, I was afraid of the cold weather, but you have also been to Danzhou City, where it is so hot in winter that you will not catch cold, this is for you, and it is also for you. It can protect the body."

"Thank you, grandma!" Fan Ruoruo, who was beaten all over by Wu Zhu, knew that it was a good thing. Although her brother Fan Xian also gave it to her, it was obviously not as good as grandma, the thing bestowed by the emperor, so she immediately took it with both hands. However, with joy on his face, he glanced at Fan Xian with a victorious attitude.

Fan Xian and Lin Wan'er shut up and laughed.

This old Mrs. Fan deserves to be the older generation of Jianghu. Fan Jian, who asked the question, was speechless with a few words. Take care of me, one builds a garden for me, and your son does nothing but gossips every day, then I must be uncomfortable. If I am uncomfortable, you and your wife can't think about it.

The attitude of the mistress directly overwhelmed Liu Ruyu and Fan Jian in terms of arrogance. Fan Jian knew that he would definitely lose if he competed with the emperor's nanny, so he didn't say much at once, and immediately began to express, "I I told Huwei, I sent 100 people to escort you to the Chen Garden, just play there for a few days, I won’t send people to bother you if it’s nothing serious.”

"Oh yes, mother." Fan Jian turned to look at Mrs. Fan, "Are you going too?"

"I just rested my feet, and I am too old to walk around, oh..." Mrs. Fan turned to look at Fan Jian, "If Master Fan thinks..."

"Mother!" Fan Jian knew that his mother was going to sarcasm him again. Although he didn't want to be pretentious in front of these juniors, he still said, "I brought you some good mahjong tiles, Ruyu I have nothing to do recently, how about I invite Ning Cairen to come and play cards with you?"

"Okay." Mrs. Fan was also born in the palace, the place where the idle fart hurts, that is, Concubine Shu can resist the temptation of mahjong, and everyone else falls into the trap, so Mrs. Fan is also one of the fun People, as a son, Fan Jian knew that his mother liked this, so he immediately made up for it, which can be regarded as preserving some dignity in front of his children.

Fan Xian and Lin Wan'er were secretly having fun, and Fan Ruoruo almost couldn't hold it back.

Finally, under Fan Jian's glaring gaze, the three of them walked out of the room.

A hundred tiger guards dressed in red had already stood outside the gate of Fan Mansion. Gao Da led a group of people to carry the luggage for Fan Xian's family. At this time, Fan Xian and Fan Jian paced outside the gate together. walked out.

"I thought my father dispatched these one hundred guards to protect us on a temporary basis." Fan Xian laughed.

"Indeed." Fan Jian said without ambiguity, "I was going to go out of the city today, and it was for myself. Who knew that your grandma was so aggressive and said that I didn't respect her in half my life. Don't you always think about her, why don't you get her something, it's so embarrassing to be said, as if I don't care about you."

"Oh..." Fan Xian nodded knowingly, sighed in his heart, Jiang is still old and spicy, and his ability to adapt to changes is indeed high, so he asked, "Then you transfer another 100 people?"

"Do you really think I'm going with you?" Fan Jian glanced at Fan Xian, "I'll go with you, and we'll split into two routes when we leave the city. You go to your Chen Garden to have fun, and I go to my temple to decorate. "

"Temple?" Fan Xian was startled, and then he remembered that the matter of the emperor's sacrifice to the temple had already been announced four or five days ago, and it is normal for the Minister of the Household Department to arrange some related matters now. So he nodded, "The emperor is going to the temple to offer sacrifices, and he has notified him so early, isn't he afraid of accidents?"

After much deliberation, Fan Xian remembered that when he first saw Lin Wan'er, he was in that temple, and the emperor that day was offering sacrifices in the temple, but the difference was that he sneaked out of the palace that day, and this time It is open and aboveboard that announced to the world.

"What happened? What could happen?" Fan Jian said, "By the way, as the agent of the first place, you have nothing to do with this sacrifice?"

"Yes." Fan Xian said, "But Dean Chen still doesn't want me to show up, so let me rest for a few more days, he is already helping me arrange staff, and, my lord father, I am already the vice dean , your news in the capital city does not seem to be very bright."

"Vice-principal, vice-principal." Fan Jian murmured, "What kind of bullshit official position is this? I've never heard of it."

Watching Fan Jian go away, Fan Xian rolled his eyes and smelled a sour smell in the air. This was just how serious he had seen the fight between Fan Jian and Chen Pingping in the open. He has no idea.But it's a blessing not to know, at least it's not convenient for him to see the red-faced scolding of these two old people who are over fifty years old.

At this moment, the two girls behind walked over supporting each other. Lin Wan'er walked over one step at a time, holding Fan Xian's arm, and said to Fan Xian, "Everything is almost packed."

"En." Fan Xian nodded.

After setting off, there were only a few guards including Gundam protecting Fan Xian, while a large number of tiger guards followed Fan Jian out from the west gate.At this time, everyone in the Overwatch Council had their own affairs, and Fan Xian didn't bother to care about what they were busy with, so he happened to go to Chen Garden to relieve boredom.

Among the beautiful gardens in the world, there is no name of Chen Yuan, not because Chen Yuan is really not ranked, but because basically no one has entered it, so the name of Chen Yuan is unknown to outsiders, but as someone who has walked Fan Xian from many famous mountains and great rivers came to see that this Chen Garden even surpassed the emperor's bedroom, and he didn't know if the old man of the emperor had been to Chen Garden.

The road to enter Chen Garden is still very cumbersome. After passing the winding mountain path, Gundam once again encountered the familiar interception mechanism. After several people looked at each other and said goodbye to Fan Xian, they withdrew from the gate of Chen Garden and went to the side to work. to rest.In fact, for Gundam, the scene where he lives is not too bad. After all, he can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of Chen Garden, and the food is relatively good, and the accommodation conditions are also very good.

Fan Xian and the others walked towards Chen Yuan under the leadership of a familiar servant girl.

The scenery along the way didn't change much, but Fan Xian could tell that although the scenery in Chen Garden hadn't changed, the difference between winter and spring was still very big, and the plum blossoms that covered the entire Chen Garden had already bloomed, and the fragrance was tangy. To Fan Xian's surprise, there had never been snow in the capital, so why did Chen Garden already have some snowflakes.

When he arrived in front of the hall, Chen Pingping was definitely not there. After all, there were a lot of busy things in the capital city, and he had a lot of things to do every day. It was impossible to stay at home in the early morning, so of course he was not there.After Fan Xian and the others arrived in the hall, the servant butler greeted them.

"The guest room has just been tidied up. Please, Mr. Vice President, follow me." The housekeeper smiled at Fan Xian with a very solemn smile.

Fan Xian nodded, "What else is there to explain?"

Several people followed the butler, and the big and small bags had already been picked up by Chen Yuan's servants. After walking out of the hall, the housekeeper said, "The master told you before leaving that everything is up to Master Fan. Do whatever you want without worrying about it.”

"It's the same as last time." Fan Xian sighed.

"Yes, Master Fan." The housekeeper smiled.

After the few people settled in the Chen Garden, Fan Xian was really happy to have a leisurely time. He drove directly to the backyard of the Chen Garden, took Lin Wan'er and Fan Ruoruo around for a few laps, and then went directly into the armory.

This time Fan Xian came here for some purposes, one of which was to choose a weapon that was convenient for Fan Ruoruo, after all, she had learned from Wu Zhu for so long and used ordinary things.

He had to give Fan Ruoruo a decent weapon.

Fan Xian could imagine the size of the armory, but when he walked into the dark basement and waited for the housekeeper to turn on the candlelight, everyone was a little shocked.

Two rows of huge cabinets lead directly to a place with no end in sight. One can imagine how big this place is.

Fan Xian looked over, and the dazzling array of weapons directly dazzled his eyes. He laughed, "You choose yourself. I know a lot, but I didn't expect there to be so many."

Fan Ruoruo gave Fan Xian a disdainful look, and then walked in, but Lin Wan'er followed Fan Ruoruo in with some interest.

Fan Xian had nothing to do, and when he was about to sit down and wait for the second daughter, there was a little noise from beside him. When he turned his head to look, what he saw was none other than His Royal Highness, the First Prince of Qing Dynasty.

"Yo, Master Fan." The First Prince pretended to meet him by chance.

"Here we come." Fan Xian didn't regard himself as an outsider, and he didn't have the usual respect of officials, so he said it directly.

The eldest prince was not surprised either, he knew Fan Xian's attitude towards those princes, so he just smiled and didn't say anything else.

Thinking about it, things weren't that complicated. Fan Xian also knew that he came here at the invitation of the First Prince after all, so of course he knew that the other party had something to do, and he didn't hide it. He said directly, "You asked me, why? "

The eldest prince looked at Fan Xian calmly, "It's all here, let's talk about it later, after all, the master hasn't arrived yet."

Fan Xian raised his eyebrows. He didn't have any malice or affection for the eldest prince. He just treated it with a normal heart. He couldn't tell whether it was good or bad. Since the other party was calm and calm, he didn't have anything to say In a panic, he said lightly, "Okay."

The eldest prince did not continue to talk about himself with Fan Xian, but instead asked, "Miss Ruoruo, do you want to choose a weapon?"

"Yes, do you have research in this area?" Fan Xian asked.

"Naturally, since you don't want to help, then I will lead Miss Ruoruo to choose one." The eldest prince walked towards Fan Ruoruo and Lin Wan'er with a smile.
