poor people

Chapter 286, being a guest

The flow of people on the street passed quickly, 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 casually."

Shi Fuxin: "Traveling on a boat to 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 been on a boat to enjoy lanterns before."

Master Fan Xiaohou smiled: "Then do you want to try?"

Shi Fuxin's eyes brightened: "Is it possible?"

Master Fan Xiaohou smiled and said: "What's the matter, where are your younger brothers, let's all come together, so that they won't find you and worry."

Said that Cao Cao had 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 out on a boat to enjoy the lanterns, and the three of them applauded.

Master Fan Xiaohou didn't bring Shi Fuxin and the others to see Princess Chengyang, but called a painting boat alone, and took them to the lake to enjoy the lanterns.

Looking at Shi Fuxin and Master Fan who were sitting on the bow talking and laughing, Mr. Zhao touched Shi Dinghao's arm: "Since when did Miss 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 elder sister is really a guy who values ​​sex and despises younger brothers. With Master Fan Xiaohou, she puts his younger brother aside and ignores him.

"Ninth brother, look quickly, the boat has entered the imperial city." Shi Dingxu shouted happily.

At this moment, along the moat, the boat sailed into the imperial city.

Entering the imperial city, the lanterns on both sides of the strait became more and more exquisite.

You can't enter the imperial city 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 in the imperial city.

It was near Zishi (23:00) that the boat left the imperial city again.

"Be 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, and thanked her.

Young Master Zhao, who was walking behind, couldn't help touching Shi Dinghao again: "When I felt the presence of Young Master Fan, 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 got off the boat, Master 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.

A little attentive, is it because you are overwhelmed by her charm and fell in love with her?

Thinking of this, Shi Fuxin couldn't help but lowered her head and helped her temple hair, she lowered her eyes and smiled complacently, she is still very likable.

But she didn't agree, it would be bad for her reputation to let a foreigner take 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 Xiaohou looked at the backs of the Shi family's siblings leaving, smiled, turned around and walked into the imperial city.

Seeing that his master was in a good mood, the little servant Qingfeng asked curiously: "Master, you seem to like the sixth girl of the Shi family?"

Master Fan Xiaohou smiled and said, "Don't you think the sixth girl of the Shi family is cute?"

Qingfeng hesitated for a moment: "But Mr. Yao San 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 of 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."

"It's not like the sixth girl of the Shi family, who can say whatever she wants, laugh whenever she wants, and don't hold back at all."

Master Fan Xiaohou 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 does the girl like it so much?"

Mother Leng looked at the confused An Ran, smiled lightly and said, "The lantern is not important, what matters is the person who gave 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?"

Sister Leng: "I met Xiaohou Fan by chance during the Lantern Festival, and the lake tour and lantern viewing after that may be just an invitation from Master Fan out of courtesy."

Shi Fuxin understood what Nanny Leng meant, and forced her to respect her: "But we had a very pleasant chat, from poetry to poetry to philosophy of life."

Mother Leng: "What this old slave means is that Lord Fan Xiaohou is a human being, and as a human being, there are good sides and bad sides. At the beginning, it's 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."

After turning the lanterns for a while, Shi Fuxin looked at An Ran: "After Shi Lang came back that night on the Lantern Festival, he told his family about Li Fuzhi. Did grandma and the others react?"

An Ran: "The old master 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. .

Meeting Xiaohou Fan on 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 and going to Hongyanxiao to watch the shop in the afternoon, on the first day of February, Shi Dinghao brought Master Fan Xiaohou to the uncle's residence.

The reason was that the emperor wanted to test Lord Fan Xiaohou's martial arts, so he had a fight with Shi Dinghao.

The two are evenly matched, it is enjoyable to watch, and it is also very enjoyable to fight.

That's how the two struck up a friendship.

What's more, 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 Mr. Fan Xiaohou to meet Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Shi, and then led him to Yigui Courtyard. When it was time to eat, 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 Yue'e immediately looked over at the dinner table disgruntled, and glared at her daughter warningly.

Shi Fuxin suppressed a smile, and ate her food sullenly.

Jin Yue'e 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."

Seeing that Master Fan likes to eat the food at home, Jin Yue'e immediately showed a smile, but at this moment she heard her daughter calling Master Fan by his name.

"Fan Mingyu"

Jin Yue'e immediately said: "Sister Xin, you are not allowed to call the young master by his name."

Master Fan Xiaohou said with a smile: "It's okay to be auntie. The sixth sister calls me Mingyu like this, which makes me look closer. Calling me Master Xiaohou will make you feel better."

Shi Dinghao said, "If you want to call him, you must call him Brother Mingyu."

Master Fan Xiaohou took a quick look at Shi Fuxin, but didn't speak.

Jin Yue'e 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', and looked at Young Master Fan: "I heard that Young Master Fan is very skilled, it really is true that the tiger father has no dogs."

Master Fan Xiaohou hurriedly said: "Uncle, I heard from Ding Hao that uncle has practiced kung fu from a foreigner's family to perfection, and 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 Guard, Shi Zhenghe also liked to find someone to discuss with others, because only in this way could he know his own shortcomings. After arriving in the capital, in order not to attract people's attention, he seldom did anything.

"Okay, after dinner, let's go to the martial arts field to compete."

Master Fan Xiaohou was full of joy: "Uncle must be merciful!"

After eating, Shi Dinghao led Fan Xiaohou to his brother Shi Dingxuan's yard, and Shi Fuxin followed.

"The martial arts training ground of the champion of martial arts looks unusual."

Master Fan Xiaohou showed regret: "I heard from the imperial guards that Fifth Brother Shi is very skilled in martial arts. I don't know 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, do you want to learn from her too?"

Master Fan Xiaohou shook his head: "I am a man, how can I fight with 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 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.

Master Fan Xiaohou asked again: "At that time, did the other women in the family have anything to do with her husband?"

Shi Fuxin still shook her head.

Master Fan Xiaohou: "That's it, women won't do anything to men."

Shi Fuxin saw that he spoke firmly and couldn't find anything to refute for a while.

At this moment, Shi Zhenghe came over and called Master Fan Xiaohou to come over.

When he was gone, when Mother Leng saw Fuxin was still frowning, she stepped forward and said, "Master Fan should mean that women dare not fight men."

Shi Fuxin turned her head: "Is that what he meant?"

Nanny Leng also nodded affirmatively.
