Shi Tong led Fang Zian into the house and took Fang Zian to visit the east and west wing rooms. The east wing room is the bedroom. The bedding and curtains are all new, the tables and chairs are polished and shiny, and the floor is covered with felt carpets, which are silent when stepped on.

.Fang Zian has never lived in such a good house, so he is naturally very satisfied.

The west wing is a different scene. There are three large bookcases standing against the wall, which are full of all kinds of books. Under the long window is a large mahogany bookcase, with the four treasures of the study and other items on it, including a pen holder.

There are dozens of writing brushes hanging on it, and there are as many as three inkstones. Even the ruler used to press the paper is made of jade, which shows its exquisiteness.

In addition to the books on the desk and study room, there are also guqin, chess and other items in the study room. The whole room is filled with books and is extremely elegant.

"Mr. Fang, all the books here are available for you to read and study by yourself. All the things in the study are brand new and specially prepared for you. You can read, practice calligraphy, write poems and paint here in peace and quiet. In your free time,

You can play the piano and play chess sometimes. I heard that the young master likes to practice martial arts, so there is a long sword for the young master in the bookshelf, so that the young master can relax his muscles and bones at any time. I wonder if the young master is satisfied?" Shi Tong raised his hands and smiled.

Fang Zian expressed his sincere gratitude, walked to the bookshelf and browsed around casually, and found that there was an extremely complete range of books, ranging from the Qin Emperor and Han Dynasty to the Sui, Tang and Song dynasties. There were many classics and historical collections written by famous writers. Previous one

When I returned to Fang Zian, I saw so many books in the study room of my teacher Zhou Junzheng. It can be seen that Shi Hao, a doctor of the Imperial College, is not a vain person, he must be well-read and full of knowledge.

Shi Tong talked for a while and then left. Fang Zian felt really tired, so he asked the boy to boil water, took a quick bath, and then went to bed and fell asleep.

I don't know how much time passed, but Fang Zian was quietly woken up by a boy. The boy told Fang Zian in a low voice that Shi Hao, the master of the Shi family, was here and had been waiting for a long time. Seeing that Fang Zian was sleeping soundly, Shi Hao ordered him not to wake him up.

He was waiting in the study. The boy saw that Fang Zian showed no sign of waking up, so he secretly came to wake him up.

After hearing this, Fang Zian hurriedly got up and came to the west wing, only to see Shi Hao sitting behind the desk holding a book while drinking tea and reading. Fang Zian hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.

"I'm so rude. How could I ask Mr. Shi to wait for me while I slept there? This is so rude."

Seeing Fang Zian's arrival, Shi Hao laughed and stood up and said politely: "It's okay, it's okay, I asked them not to call you. Zian didn't sleep last night, so he was naturally very tired. Seeing that you were snoring like thunder and sleeping soundly, I couldn't bear to disturb you.

.”

Fang Zian scratched his head and said, "That's even more disrespectful. He actually snores. It's simply too much."

Shi Hao laughed and said, "Zian, are you satisfied with this courtyard? If you are not satisfied, you can change your residence. I have a small courtyard in the back garden, which is good, but a bit small."

Fang Zian hurriedly bowed and said, "I'm very satisfied. Mr. Shi, please don't worry about me any more. I'm already disturbing you, otherwise Zian will be even more frightened."

Shi Hao nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, let's not worry about it. Zian, since you have come, make peace with him and live in peace and contentment. Don't treat yourself as an outsider. I am usually quite busy with affairs. If I can't take care of anything, you can

Don’t take it to heart. Just stay here for the next few days and wait until the wind subsides.

Let’s talk about it later. If you need anything, just tell Shi Tong and he will help you.”

Fang Zian nodded hurriedly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Shi. I am deeply grateful."

Shi Hao nodded and said: "I have already reported what happened last night to the prince, and the prince appreciates your courage. The prince said that he would come to see you in a few days and would like to have a good drink with you."

Fang Zian said: "Don't dare, don't dare, I've broken into this big trap, the prince is afraid that he will scold me for being impulsive."

Shi Hao waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty is not that kind of person. Your Majesty has always been cautious and did not go too far. But in fact, he doesn't like this in his heart. Although you just killed a few minions this time, I can see that.

When he came out, the prince also felt proud and proud. But in his position, it was no longer the case. You have given him a sigh of relief. Let’s not talk about this anymore. We will talk about these things later. I ordered people to prepare a banquet tonight, and we will

Have a nice drink. It was rainy last night and I was unable to enjoy the moon, so I have to make up for it tonight. You just have a rest, I just came to see you, nothing else."

Fang Zian thanked him repeatedly, and Shi Hao stood up and said, "Then, I'll leave first. I still have some things to deal with. Let's talk about it tonight."

Fang Zian cupped his hands and sent Shi Hao out of the small courtyard. When he turned around, he felt quite warm in his heart. Shi Hao was a humble gentleman and was obviously sincere to himself. Unlike the prince, he could see utilitarianism at a glance.

As the sun set in the west and the sky turned dark, Shi Tong came to invite him. He said that Shi Hao was holding a family banquet in the back garden and invited Fang Zian to attend the banquet and enjoy the moon.

Fang Zian hurriedly tidied up and went with Shi Tong. He passed through the second vertical door and entered the back courtyard. Under the light, he could feel the exquisiteness of the Shi family's mansion more and more. After entering the back garden, the air was full of

It is sweet and fragrant, refreshing, and full of the fragrance of osmanthus. Fang Zian finally found the source of the osmanthus fragrance that he could smell all afternoon. It came from the back garden. There were enough flowers planted along both sides of the road.

There are twenty or thirty osmanthus trees. The golden osmanthus trees are blooming at this moment, and the secret fragrance flows, making people feel drunk.

Fang Zian secretly praised Shi Hao for enjoying life. This is the advantage of being rich. He can make his life more comfortable as he wants. If this place is compared with his own house in Sanyuanfang... Although Fang Zian refuses to admit that he lives there

The three-year-old house is not good, but the two are obviously as different as heaven and earth.

The back garden is also very large. There is a small open space on the east side of the sweet-scented osmanthus forest. At this moment, the lantern is hanging high on the wooden pole. Under the light of the lantern, a sumptuous banquet is ready. Several people are already sitting at the table, enjoying themselves.

They were chatting happily about something.

Shi Hao turned around and saw Fang Zian, who was being led by Shi Tong with a lantern. He stood up and said with a smile, "Zian, you're here. Hurry up and take a seat. The food and drinks are already ready."

Fang Zian took a few steps, stepped forward and bowed his hands, saying, "I'm sorry for bothering you so much."

Shi Hao waved his hand and said with a smile: "You are out of touch if you keep saying these things. Come on, let me introduce you to this person. This is my wife. Madam, this is Mr. Fangzi Anfang, the guest who lives in my home."

A beautiful middle-aged woman stood up with a bright smile. Fang Zian bowed and said, "Fang Zian has met Madam."

The beautiful woman smiled and returned the greeting: "Is this Fang Zian? He is the talented man Fang Zi who Yue'er often praised.

What? Well, he is indeed very handsome and talented."

"Mom, who praises her every day? Mom, what are you talking about?" A voice as beautiful as the call of an oriole sounded from the mouth of the girl next to the beautiful woman. Of course Fang Zian knew her, it was Shi Hao's daughter Shi Ningyue. Shi Hao's daughter Shi Ningyue.

Ningyue was wearing a long dress, with picturesque features, a delicate figure, an elegant temperament, and a bright and graceful face. Fang Zian raised his head and glanced at her and did not dare to look again, because he saw Shi Ningyue's eyes shining brightly.

Hold yourself.

"Okay, okay, there's nothing to praise, I just praised you a few times." The middle-aged beautiful woman smiled and patted Shi Ningyue's hand, turned to Fang Zian and said: "Mr. Fang, my husband and daughter have praised you, which means that you

It’s really a good place. You can live there with peace of mind, don’t see anyone else, just treat it as a family.”

"Thank you madam, Zian is grateful." Fang Zian said hurriedly.

"Master Fang, Ningyue is polite." Shi Ningyue didn't wait for her father to introduce her, she bowed her head and said politely.

"Fang Zian has met Miss Ningyue." Fang Zian hurriedly returned the courtesy.

Shi Ningyue said softly: "Mr. Fang, why are you the only one coming to my house? Where did Sister Ruomei go?"

Fang Zian said: "Ruomei had something to do and left Lin'an a few days ago."

Shi Ningyue whispered with some disappointment: "Did she leave? Why."

Fang Zian said: "She learned about her brother, so she went to look for him."

Shi Ningyue said oh, nodded and said: "I see, she didn't come to say goodbye. Hey, maybe she annoyed me."

Fang Zian was a little confused by Shi Ningyue's nonsense. Shi Hao was stroking his beard and smiling: "Ningyue, don't be ignorant of etiquette. Why don't you let Mr. Fang sit at the table? What are you doing asking questions?"

Shi Ningyue smiled hurriedly and said, "That's right. Mr. Fang, please take a seat."

Fang Zian thanked him hurriedly and stepped back. Shi Hao pointed to a chair next to him and asked Fang Zian to sit down. The maid stepped forward to pour the wine. Shi Hao raised his glass and said with a smile: "Originally, yesterday was the time to enjoy the moon and reunite, so there is nothing we can do if the weather is not good.

.Today is the sixteenth day. As the saying goes, the moon on the fifteenth day is sixteen round, so it would be nice to enjoy the moon tonight. Zian, don’t dislike light wine and light food. I heard that you have a strong drinking capacity, so let’s have a couple of drinks tonight.

"

Just as Fang Zian was about to speak, he heard Mrs. Shi laugh and say: "I don't know whether the moon is round tonight, but there is one more person, which makes it more lively. Husband, you have always been able to drink alone at home, and now Mr. Fang

Here you go, do you have someone to drink with you?"

Shi Hao chuckled and said: "Madam is right, I have someone to drink with me. Come, Zian, let's have a drink first."

Shi Hao raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp. Fang Zian bowed and drank all the wine. Mrs. Shi and Shi Ningyue did not drink alcohol and only drank tea. Shi Hao was a drinker and was in a happy mood tonight.

Hao Fei, the wine is dry. Fang Zian was cautious at first, but soon relaxed, and he and Shi Hao exchanged glasses and had fun. From time to time, Shi Ningyue watched Fang Zian drinking secretly with a faint blue circle under his eyes.

smile.

Both of them had a good capacity for drinking, and soon they drank up a large pot of wine, and both of them felt a little smoky. Just as Shi Hao was helping people serve the wine, Shi Ningyue suddenly pointed at the eastern sky and shouted
