The flow of people on the street passed quickly, and the street became much empty. Mr. Fan Xiaohou moved his arm and asked Shi Fuxin to come out: "There are so many people tonight. How can you, a girl, watch the lanterns alone outside? Where are your family members?"
Shi Fuxin said with a smile: "I came here with my two younger brothers and Brother Zhao. They went to watch the sideshow." After saying that, she looked at Mr. Fan Xiaohou and said, "What about you, Mr. Xiaohou? Why are you watching the lanterns alone?"
"
Mr. Fan Xiaohou said with a smile: "My mother was taking people to the lake to see the lanterns. I didn't like it very much, so I went ashore and took a walk."
Shi Fuxin: "Go boating and enjoy the lanterns. It must be very beautiful."
Mr. Fan Xiaohou looked at her: "Do you like it?"
Shi Fuxin thought for a moment and said, "I have never seen the lanterns on a boat."
Mr. Fan Xiaohou smiled: "Then do you want to try it?"
Shi Fuxin's eyes lit up: "Is it okay?"
Mr. Fan Xiaohou laughed and said: "What's the matter? Where are your brothers? Let's all come together, so as not to worry about them not finding you."
When they heard that Cao Cao had arrived, Shi Dinghao came over with Shi Dingxu and Young Master Zhao.
Seeing Mr. Fan Xiaohou, the three of them were a little surprised.
Shi Fuxin quickly told the three people that Fan Xiaohou invited them to go boating and enjoy the lanterns, and the three people clapped their hands and applauded.
Mr. Fan Xiaohou did not take Shi Fuxin and the four of them to see Princess Chengyang. Instead, he called a painting boat alone and took them to swim around the lake to enjoy the lanterns.
Looking at Shi Fuxin and Mr. Fan Xiaohou sitting on the bow talking and laughing, Young Master Zhao touched Shi Dinghao's arm: "When did Sister Xin and Mr. Fan Xiaohou become so familiar?"
Shi Dinghao glanced at Mr. Fan Xiaohou with hostility, then looked at Shi Fuxin, and said in a low voice: "I don't know either."
Her sister was really a guy who valued sex over his younger brother. With Mr. Fan Xiaohou, she put his younger brother aside and ignored her.
"Brother Ninth, look, the boat has entered the imperial city."
At this moment, along the moat, the painted boat sailed into the imperial city.
Entering the Imperial City, the lanterns on both sides of the strait become more and more exquisite.
You can't enter the Imperial City at will, especially on such festival days. Shi Dinghao didn't care about being jealous and concentrated on looking at the scenery inside the Imperial City.
Near midnight (23:00), the painting boat left the imperial city again.
"careful."
When getting off the boat, Mr. Fan Xiaohou got off first, then stood on the shore, raised his arm, and let Shi Fuxin hold her arm to get off the boat.
"Thank you."
Shi Fuxin put her hand on Mr. Fan Xiaohou's arm and got off the boat, then thanked him.
Young Master Zhao, who was walking behind, couldn't help but touch Shi Dinghao: "When I felt the presence of Mr. Fan Xiaohou, Sister Xin instantly turned into a weak lady who couldn't take care of herself."
Although Shi Dinghao was not used to it, he still said: "When we go out, as men, we should take more care of the girls. Mr. Fan Xiaohou did a pretty good job in this regard."
When everyone got off the boat, Mr. Fan Xiaohou looked at Shi Fuxin: "Do you still want to continue watching the lanterns?"
Shi Fuxin shook her head: "It's getting late, it's time to go home."
Mr. Fan Xiaohou nodded: "I see you didn't bring a carriage. Come on, I'll take you back."
Shi Fuxin looked at him.
She's a little attentive. Are you impressed by her charm and falling in love with her?
Thinking of this, Shi Fuxin couldn't help lowering her head and stroking her temple hair, lowering her eyes and smiling complacently. She was still very popular.
But she didn't agree. After watching the lanterns and then rashly letting a foreign man take her home, it would be bad for her reputation.
"Thank you, little Marquis, but there are still brothers and sisters waiting for us. We have to go find them."
Seeing this, Mr. Fan Xiaohou no longer pressed, but just warned: "There are still many people on the street, be careful not to get hit."
Shi Fuxin nodded in agreement, and Shi Dinghao also said that he would take good care of his sister, and then separated from Mr. Fan Xiaohou.
Mr. Fan Xiaohou looked at the Shi family's leaving figures, smiled, turned around and walked into the imperial city.
Seeing that his master was in a good mood, the young servant Qingfeng asked curiously: "Young master seems to like the sixth girl of the Shi family?"
Mr. Fan Xiaohou smiled and said, "Don't you think the sixth girl of the Shi family is cute?"
Qingfeng hesitated for a moment: "But Young Master Yao San said she was just faking it."
Mr. Fan Xiaohou smiled and knocked Qingfeng on the head: "Even if it is just pretending, it is just to please me, your young master. This can be forgiven."
Qingfeng thought about it and felt that it was right, and immediately smiled and said: "The sixth girl of the Shi family is indeed a little different from the girls from other families. When other girls talk to the young master, they either look around and talk about other things, or they always look at your face and are not open at all."
"Unlike the sixth girl of the Shi family, she can say whatever she wants and laugh whenever she wants without being coy at all."
Mr. Fan Xiaohou agreed with his face: "Isn't it true? Talking and chatting with her makes me feel much happier."
After the Lantern Festival, there was a lotus lantern under the eaves of Lanyue Tower. The maids and mothers-in-law in the yard noticed it. Every day, her girls would giggle at the lantern for a while.
"This lotus lantern is very ordinary. Why does the girl like it so much?"
Aunt Leng looked at the confused An Ran, smiled lightly and said: "The lanterns are not important, what is important is the person who delivers them."
Seeing Shi Fuxin standing under the lotus lamp again, Nanny Leng hesitated for a moment, stepped forward and reminded: "Girl, don't think too much about everything."
Shi Fuxin's expression paused: "Mommy, what do you mean?"
Aunt Leng: "...I met Mr. Fan Xiaohou by chance during the Lantern Festival, and the subsequent trip to the lake to enjoy the lanterns was probably just an invitation from Mr. Fan Xiaohou out of etiquette."
Shi Fuxin understood what Nanny Leng meant and forcibly bowed her head: "But we had a great time chatting, ranging from poetry and poetry to philosophy of life."
Aunt Leng: "What the old slave means is that Mr. Fan Xiaohou is a human being, and every human being has good and bad sides. At the beginning, it is best not to have too high expectations."
Shi Fuxin nodded: "I know this." She said, smiling and turning the lotus lantern, "I am very happy to receive this lantern. I want to enjoy this happiness. After a few days, I will naturally
It will fade away.”
After turning the lanterns for a while, Shi Fuxin looked at An Ran: "After Juro came back that night during the Lantern Festival, he told his family about Li Fuzhi. Did Grandma and the others react?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! An Ran: "The old man and the old lady knew long ago that Miss Fuzhi was working as a concubine for the fourth prince."
Shi Fuxin looked surprised: "Have you known this for a long time?"
An Ran nodded: "It was the second aunt who came back to tell me. The girl knows that the second aunt and Master Zhengkun's family have always been close."
"The old man and the old lady thought it was not a glorious thing for Miss Fuzhi to be a concubine, so they didn't publicize it loudly."
Shi Fuxin said "hmm", thought for a while, turned around and went into the study, wrote a note on 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 over.
.
The chance encounter with Mr. Fan Xiaohou during the Lantern Festival indeed put Shi Fuxin in a good mood, but it was not enough to make her indulge in it. After a few days, the joy slowly dissipated.
Just when Shi Fuxin resumed her routine of attending classes at the National Women's Prison in the morning and visiting Hongyanxiao's shop in the afternoon, on the first day of February, Shi Dinghao brought Mr. Fan Xiaohou to the uncle's house.
The reason was that the emperor wanted to test Mr. Fan Xiaohou's martial arts skills and asked him to have a fight with Shi Dinghao.
The two of them were equally matched, and it was enjoyable to watch and enjoyable to fight.
The two developed a friendship like this.
Next, when he was on duty, the fourth prince caught Shi Dinghao making a mistake and got into trouble for no reason. It was Fan Xiaohou who helped him out.
In order to express his gratitude, Shi Dinghao invited Mr. Fan Xiaohou to his home as a guest.
Shi Dinghao first took Mr. Fan Xiaohou to see Mr. Shi and Mrs. Shi, and then led them to Yiguiyuan. When it was time to eat, he ate with Shi Zheng and his family.
At the dinner table, Mr. Fan Xiaohou saw Shi Fuxin picking up a dish with chopsticks and looking at him. He found it interesting and wanted to tease her. When no one was paying attention, he made a face like he was teasing his younger siblings, which made Shi Fu angry.
Xin laughed out loud.
"Sister Xin!"
Jin Yue'e immediately looked over with dissatisfaction due to the lack of etiquette at the dinner table, and glared at her daughter in warning.
Shi Fuxin held back her laughter and continued to eat.
Jin Yue'e looked at Mr. Fan Xiaohou: "Young Master, I don't know if the food is to your taste?"
Mr. Fan Xiaohou said quickly: "Auntie, just call me Mingyu. The food is very delicious and I am very happy with it."
Jin Yue'e immediately smiled when she saw that Mr. Fan Xiaohou liked to eat the food at home, but then she heard her daughter call Mr. Fan Xiaohou by his name.
"Fan Mingyu"
Jin Yue'e immediately said: "Sister Xin, you are not allowed to call the young Marquis by his first name."
Mr. Fan Xiaohou said with a smile: "Auntie, it's okay. The sixth sister calls me Mingyu, which makes me look closer, but calling me Mr. Xiaohou will only make me feel awkward."
Shi Dinghao said: "If you want to call me, I'll call you Brother Mingyu."
Mr. Fan Xiaohou quickly glanced at Shi Fuxin but said nothing.
Jin Yue'e felt something was inappropriate, so she took a chopstick of food to her son and said, "Eat your food." She gave Shi Fuxin another chopstick and said, "You should also eat well."
Shi Zhenghe smiled "haha" and looked at Mr. Fan Xiaohou: "I heard that Mr. Fan Xiaohou is very skilled. It's true that a tiger father has no dog son."
Mr. Fan Xiaohou said quickly: "Uncle, I heard from Dinghao that my uncle has mastered martial arts skills to perfection. I wonder if the younger generation will be lucky enough to learn a few things from him."
When he was stationed at the Northwestern Army's garrison, Shizheng Kazuya liked to discuss with others, because only in this way could he know his own shortcomings. After arriving in the capital, he rarely took action anymore.
"Okay, after dinner, we will go to the martial arts training ground to compete."
Mr. Fan Xiaohou's face was full of joy: "Uncle, you must be merciful!"
After dinner, Shi Zheng and Dang Zhen led Mr. Fan Xiaohou to Shi Dingxuan's courtyard, and Shi Fuxin followed.
"Wu Zhuangyuan's martial arts training ground looks extraordinary."
Fan Xiaohouye looked regretful: "I heard from the imperial guards that Brother Shi Wu is very skilled in martial arts. I wonder if I will have the opportunity to compete with him in the future?"
Shi Fuxin looked at him: "You haven't fought with my father yet, but you are thinking about my brother." After a pause, "My sister is also very good at martial arts. Do you also want to spar with her?"
But Mr. Fan Xiaohou shook his head: "I am a man, how can I fight with a woman?"
Shi Fuxin: "What's wrong with the woman?"
Mr. Fan Xiaohou said with a smile: "Women are delicate, men should give way to women, how can they still attack women?"
Shi Fuxin: "What if a woman hits you?"
Mr. Fan Xiaohou laughed and said, "How can a woman hit a man?" Seeing this, Fuxin seemed to want to retort and asked with a smile, "Sixth sister, let me ask you, has my aunt ever done anything to my uncle?"
Shi Fuxin shook her head.
Mr. Fan Xiaohou asked again: "At that time, did the other female relatives in the family take action against their husbands?"
Shi Fuxin still shook her head.
Mr. Fan Xiaohou: "That's it, a woman won't do anything to her husband."
When Shi Fuxin saw that he was speaking firmly, she couldn't find the words to refute.
At this moment, Shi Zhenghe came over and called Mr. Fan Xiaohou over.
After he left, Fu Xin was still frowning when she saw him, and she stepped forward and said, "What Mr. Fan Xiaohou probably means is that women don't dare to fight men."
Shi Fuxin turned around suddenly: "Is that what he meant?"
