In Shi Hao's Mansion in Liuye'er Hutong, a family banquet in the Erjin Flower Hall was coming to an end. In the evening, Fang Zian came to visit Shi Hao's Mansion. On the one hand, he was reporting on the affairs of the Yamen in the past few days and today's court awards. On the other hand, he was also here to visit.

Talk to Shi Hao about an old deal.

At the banquet, Shi Hao talked and laughed freely and was in a happy mood. Fang Zian drank a lot of wine with him, and both of them were a little bit drunk. Shi Ningyue sat beside him, responsible for pouring wine for the two of them, with a pair of beautiful eyes.

Fang Zian's face was spinning, and he and Fang Zian were flirting with each other from time to time. The two hadn't seen each other for many days, and they missed each other very much. If Shi Hao and his wife hadn't been present, I'm afraid the two of them would have hugged each other and expressed their love for each other.

Already.

Several times during the dinner, Fang Zian wanted to mention something that Shi Hao had promised him, but in the end because Mrs. Shi and his daughter were present, it was difficult to say anything, so he had to give up.

"Husband, please don't drink too much. Mr. Fang is going to ride home soon. Don't ask him to get drunk. I think he is almost drunk." Mrs. Shi finally said.

"Yes, Daddy, you have all drank a bottle. It's a small drink to enjoy yourself. Drinking too much will harm your health. Mr. Fang is almost drunk. Don't drink anymore." Shi Ningyue also said.

Shi Hao chuckled and said: "That's all, I won't drink in that case. Zian, it's not that I don't give you wine, it's that they don't let you drink, but you can't blame me. I just want to celebrate your promotion without getting drunk with you."

Congratulations on being awarded the title of Fangyu Officer by the imperial court."

Fang Zian cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Madam and Miss Ningyue are also kind-hearted. I don't want to fall down on the street when I ride home. Today, thank you for your hospitality. I am already satisfied."

Shi Hao nodded and smiled, and everyone left the table. When Shi Ningyue followed Mrs. Shi to the back house, she looked at Fang Zian and winked. Fang Zian knew that she was summoning him to meet her, so she took advantage of Shi Hao in the hall.

After drinking tea in the house, I sneaked out and walked quickly to the back house. When I came to the corridor leading to the back house, the lantern flickered in the dim light, but Shi Ningyue’s mother and daughter were missing, so I couldn’t help but feel a little anxious. Shi Hao and his wife were at home.

, I must not go to Shi Ningyue's residence. If Shi Hao finds out, his legs will be broken by him.

After looking around in the corridor for a moment, Fang Zian finally sighed helplessly and turned around to leave. Suddenly, he heard a sweet laugh coming from behind the rockery outside the corridor. Fang Zian stared in surprise and saw that behind the rockery

In the shadow, Shi Ningyue was standing there waving to herself.

Fang Zian was so happy that he jumped out of the corridor and rushed over, hugging Shi Ningyue tightly in his arms. Just as Shi Ningyue was about to speak, Fang Zian's mouth blocked her mouth and they kissed her wildly. Shi Ningyue

Wuwu twisted her body and finally got lost in this crazy kiss.

"It smells like alcohol, it stinks like crazy." After a long time, Shi Ningyue pushed Fang Zian's body away and panted slightly.

Fang Zian hugged Shi Ningyue tightly and laughed softly: "I'm sorry, but I miss you so much."

Shi Ningyue said angrily: "You miss me but don't come here often? That's a lie."

Fang Zian sighed: "I don't want to, but I really can't come here often. Firstly, there are too many things. There have been many big events in the yamen recently, all of which are related to life and death. I have to deal with them with all my strength. Secondly, early on

Your dad is also at home in the morning and evening, so I can't run too obvious, otherwise your dad will break my legs."

Shi Ningyue chuckled and said: "I know, I know everything about you. I went to Sister Qin's place to play a few times, and she told you about you. I was just joking with you. I know you are very busy during this time.

It's very important. I'm very happy to hear about you today. Congratulations to Fang Lang."

Fang Zian said: "Thank you very much. I really

One of the reasons why you are so desperate to gain a foothold is also for your marriage. Your father made a bet with me, and I dare not not do my best."

Shi Ningyue said in surprise: "What does that mean?"

Fang Zian then told him what Shi Hao told him on the boat that day that if he could gain a foothold in the Fangyu Army, he would marry Shi Ningyue. Shi Ningyue was surprised but also angry.

"Okay, dad actually used my life-long event as a bargaining chip. It's so annoying. I must go to him to argue with him. Am I just a bargaining chip in his eyes?" Shi Ningyue said as she chopped her feet.

Fang Zian laughed softly and said: "Don't argue with him. Now that I have met his requirements, he can no longer object to our marriage. I originally wanted to mention it to him at the banquet tonight, but you and

Your mother is here, but I can't mention it. I'll go to him to mention it in a while. As long as he agrees, I will come to make an appointment in a few days. If everything goes well, I can marry you and be my wife soon.

La."

Shi Ningyue's face was flushed, and her heart was filled with sweetness. She clung to Fang Zian and said, "I've been dreaming about that day. In this case, go and tell dad. Don't wait too long, otherwise he will be here soon."

Go back to your room and rest."

Fang Zian nodded, leaned down, held up Shi Ningyue's face and kissed her again. Shi Ningyue hooked Fang Zian's neck, spit out her lilac tongue, and let you taste it. The two lingered for a long time before they parted and said goodbye.

Fang Zian straightened his clothes and returned to the hall, and found that Shi Hao was no longer in the hall. Several maids and servants were cleaning up the leftovers, sweeping the floor and wiping the tables and chairs. When he was in a daze, the housekeeper Shi Tong came in from the door and saw Fang Zian and said hurriedly

: "Where did Mr. Fang go? Why did he disappear in the blink of an eye? You asked me to find him easily."

Fang Zian said hurriedly: "Go to the side and take a breath. Where is Mr. Shi?"

"The master is in the study. I want you to go to the study to drink tea and talk." Stone said hurriedly.

Fang Zi said with peace of mind: "Just in time, you have something to say to me, and I have something to say to you."

Now I followed Shi Tong to the courtyard of Shi Hao's study on the east side of the second entrance, opened the door and walked in. The courtyard was quiet and cool on a summer night, with summer insects chirping in the courtyard, and the night breeze rustling, making it comfortable and pleasant. Through the long window

, Fang Zian saw Shi Hao sitting on a big chair in the room drinking tea, with a very leisurely attitude.

Fang Zian entered the room and bowed his hands. Shi Hao pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Sit down, Shi Tong, and make tea for Young Master Fang."

Shi Tong hurriedly agreed, brewed a cup of fragrant hot tea for Fang Zian, and then bowed out of the door.

Fang Zian picked up the tea and took a sip. The fragrance entered his throat and his mouth was filled with saliva. It tasted very good. He unconsciously praised: "Good tea!"

"My homemade honeysuckle tea can strengthen the spleen and promote fluids, sober up and calm the mind. Does it still taste good? If you like it, I will ask Shi Tong to pack a pack for you and take it home to drink later." Shi Hao said calmly.

Fang Zian smiled and said, "Why are you so embarrassed?"

Shi Hao said: "You're welcome here."

Fang Zian cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Then I'm welcome. I have to take a pack back to try it."

Shi Hao laughed, took a sip of tea, unfolded the folding fan in his hand and fanned it a few times, looked at Fang Zian and said: "Zian, you did a good job, beyond my expectation. I didn't expect you to be able to do this."

In such a short period of time, I took control of the Fangyu Military Yamen. Not only did I gain a firm foothold, but I also took control of the situation, which completely exceeded my expectations. At the beginning, I was actually very worried about you taking up the post in the Fangyu Military Yamen. Very good, very good

Good. The consequences will be terrifying."

"Thank you, sir. Isn't it because of your help that Zian can make the progress he has now? I should thank you."

Just help." Fang Zian said with a smile.

"You don't have to be too modest. Although you came to ask me to report your Fangyu Army Yamen disaster relief to the imperial court that day, it was nothing. The key is that you did what you were supposed to do, and it had good results.

Even if I don't report it, the imperial court will definitely know about it. The emperor actually knows everything that happens inside and outside the imperial court, and someone will report it to him. So you don't have to thank me. If you want to thank me, you should thank yourself. You found it

You came up with a good method and did key things at a critical moment, so the court will reward you. You deserve this. Whether you came to me that day and asked me to report to the court for you, the result is actually

Same." Shi Hao smiled.

What Shi Hao was talking about was that after the hurricane night, Fang Zian came to Shi Hao's house and reported to him about the disaster relief work he led the Anti-Yu Army. That day, Fang Zian hoped to expand the impact of this matter through Shi Hao's mouth and report it to the court.

.Because Fang Zian hopes to achieve his own goals through this matter, and he does not want to be an unknown hero.

Fang Zian smiled and said: "Do you have any opinion on me doing this? Is my doing this too utilitarian and will make you think Zian is scheming?"

Shi Hao looked at Fang Zian and said, "Why do you think so?"

Fang Zian smiled and said: "Your Excellency is a person of noble character, and he must be disgusted by some crooked means. Do you think that I rescue the people in order to claim credit from the court? I am mainly afraid that your Excellency will feel unhappy. I don't think so myself.

What's there?"

Shi Hao chuckled and said: "As long as you can live with it, why bother about my feelings? Besides, I'm not as germaphobic as you think. I am a scholar in the Song Dynasty. There are two extremes. One is that I feel

He is extremely noble and disdains to do things that are detrimental to his own heart and character, so he appears to be extremely arrogant and aloof. The other is that he has completely given up on the bottom line that a scholar should have, and his moral standards are so low that even the people in the market can't.

It's better to be humble and do whatever it takes to achieve your goals. I don't want to be these two people."

Fang Zian smiled and said: "My lord, you have summarized it thoroughly. So according to your lord, which category do I belong to?"

Shi Hao shook his folding fan and said with a smile: "You? You are a scholar at all. How can I use the standards of a scholar to measure you?"

Fang Zian was stunned, feeling both surprised and admired. Shi Hao was really powerful. In his eyes, he was not even considered a scholar, and he was indeed not a scholar. He could see such things hidden under the surface.

It's so clear, isn't it admirable.

"I don't know whether I should be happy or frustrated. In the eyes of adults, I'm not even a scholar. Adults don't use curse words when they curse people." Fang Zian sighed.

Shi Hao put away the folding fan and said calmly: "You are a person who can make great achievements. I believe this more and more. Whether a scholar or a martial artist, don't they all have to make a difference? Zian, you are a person who is not bound by rules and regulations.

, so I think your achievements will far exceed my imagination, and I am more and more convinced of this. Everything you do has your purpose, and you have good strategies and means to achieve your goals.

This amazes me. You are also the person who can best create possibility out of the impossible. Although I am older than you and have more experience than you, in fact, I think I am not as good as you in terms of planning and action."

Fang Zian said hurriedly: "Sir, please don't say that. How will Zian deal with himself?"

Shi Haodao: "I speak from the bottom of my heart, not politely. However, if you are too calculating, there are hidden dangers. My advice to you is to do what you want to do and what you think you should do.
