"Are you wondering why I agreed to go to Fan Mansion?"
"A little bit, because it doesn't seem to be in line with the Lord's usual style." A Ming said.
"Three things happened. The first time we met, Fan Zhengwen said he would help me rob the princess. The second time we met, he brought a counselor to help us plan, from how to do it, when to do it to how to retreat. Help us think of it.
It can be said that we have similar sympathies, or we can say that we are in cahoots with each other. In short, from the moment I agreed to rob the Princess of Chu and go back, we and the Fan family have become allies.
Next, the Fan family will move, and San'er, Siniang, Jin Shuke, Ke Yandong and others will also move step by step.
Whether it is to lurk in order to sneak into the royal villa, to reserve a fresh force on the way to retreat, or to respond to Princess Jie’s noise and response from the outside that day, all categories and purposes require extremely detailed planning. The Fan family actually has to do a lot more than we do, and the risks they take are much higher than us.
So, Siniang and the others are responsible for running the following things anyway. , what I can do is to enter the Fan Mansion, firstly, to show a relationship of mutual trust, and secondly, only when I am in the Fan Mansion can the people in the Fan Mansion really feel at ease.
Because the Fan family, We must stay in the lower realms, we must stay in Chu State, they are not like us, who can just pat the horse’s butt and run away.” Zheng Fan glanced at A Ming and continued:
"As for the second point, it's because Fan Zhengwen is a very good person. He is even better than the blind man, because the blind man's arrogance cannot be erased, but Fan Zhengwen can.
So, if it was from Fan Zhengwen's perspective, according to his habits, he would not make such a reluctant invitation to me.
For this reason, I speculate that it should be Fan. Someone in the house wants to see me. I don’t know who it is, but his status should be higher than Fan Zhengwen.”
“My lord, why didn’t that person tell me directly?”
"Maybe I can be seen or invisible to that person. There is someone in the Fan family who can treat me so casually. Do you think I should go see him?"
"What about the third one, Lord."
"That is, I really want to see how the real wealthy families in this world live."
It’s so pitiful,
It’s not that Uncle Zheng is talking nonsense,
It’s that he has really not seen what the real rich people in this world are. How to live.
When I first woke up, I was in a small restaurant opened by my own demon kings. In fact, in the local area, I was considered well-off.
After that, I went to the Zhenbeihou Mansion. The Zhenbeihou Mansion was very big, but as soon as I remembered that the Zhenbeihou himself ate several roast ducks and then went to the imperial garden to roast lamb legs, You can know that the Zhenbei Hou Mansion is expensive, but it is really not extravagant.
Yan Palace, Zheng Fan has also been there, but the life of Emperor Yan was too simple. Zheng Fan once wondered why the princes still live in the prince's mansion, which is a collective dormitory?
Save money.
You must know that if the government is opened a few years later, the court will be able to save several years of money, food, and royal stipends.
In the Tian family, Zheng Fan was lucky enough to go see the luxury of the wealthy family, but unfortunately, that night, Uncle Zheng only had time to have a good meal among the guards of Jingnan Hou. Before even taking a few bites of the meal, Jingnan Hou gave an order to experience a real "bloody romance", and that night once became a nightmare that haunted Uncle Zheng's heart.
When I went south to the Kingdom of Qian, I was busy fighting and had no time to savor it. Even when I entered the palace of the Kingdom of Qian, there was a lot of noise in the palace because the Yan army was approaching the city. As an envoy, I felt panic. No, even after eating a few snacks from Qianhuang, I couldn't tell whether they were sweet or salty.
The Jin Kingdom’s capital city has long been ruined. After the soldiers invaded the Jin Kingdom’s palace, Zheng Fan only focused on searching for property. nest.
The truly luxurious atmosphere and the life of the upper class need to be savored slowly in a quiet and peaceful environment.
There are still more than ten days before the Chinese New Year, and another ten days before the Lantern Festival. Almost a month is enough for me to live a truly luxurious life in this world in Fan Mansion.
After hearing these three reasons, A Ming said:
"I feel that the third reason seems to be more convincing."
Zheng Fan Nodding, he said:
"Of course, because I added the first two to make up for the third one."
"..." A Ming.
A Ming looked at the wine bottle out of habit. It was empty. He collected the assassin's blood last time, but because the storage conditions were not good, he took out a wine bottle.
Blood is more difficult to swallow when it is stale than pork when it is stale.
However, A Ming suddenly felt that his master was right. The Eunuch Zhang next to Xiaoliuzi was able to store red wine in a wine cellar in a private residence outside the palace, so the Fan family would definitely not Missing it?
Ordinary people’s blood, no matter how fresh it is, is better than nothing, but high-quality red wine is the real enjoyment.
But,
A Ming pointed to He Chunlai and Chen Daole, who had also disguised themselves but failed to get on the bullock cart and followed behind.
said:
"Then why did the Lord take them with him?"
Chen Daole and He Chunlai heard this, and their faces were a little embarrassed.
A few days after they followed Fan Li into Xue Customs, they were sent into this team before they were familiar with the territory, and entered Chu in a daze.
Then, after everyone else was assigned, they were singled out and followed Mr. Hirano in disguise.Enter Fan Mansion.
Zheng Fan pointed at He Chunlai and then at Chen Daole,
and said:
"You must keep your brainless and unhappy people around you. Come on."
A Ming said again:
"What about me?"
Immediately,
A Ming added :
"My Lord, there is no need to answer this."
Zheng Fan smiled and did not answer.
The team entered Xiayong County.
There is a folk song that has been circulating in Xiayong County:
Mengshan’s mother-in-law’s family was short of food, so she came to Xiayong to ask for help.
The Mengshan Empress is a deity in the mythology and customs of the Mengshan realm. Begging for Fan is also called begging for food, which is enough to illustrate the grandeur of the Fan family in the lower realm.
In fact, more than 70% of the shops in the entire Xiayong County are owned by the Fan family, and more than 60% of the farmers outside the city rent the Fan family's fields. It is difficult for people above the age of 10 to leave the Fan family's property, whether from birth, old age, illness or death.
And this is actually a small microcosm of the Fan family's wealth. The real money-making industry is smuggling.
Fan Mansion is located in the east of Xiayong County. It covers a huge area. There is an archway even at the back door for transportation teams to enter and exit.
Since entering the mansion, Fan Zhengwen has not come over. He has to do what he wants to do and show his face. With big things coming soon, he needs to pay more attention to the details outside.
Zheng Fan and the other four people entered the back house under the leadership of a steward.
On the way to the front house, the middle house, and the back house, Zheng Fan clearly noticed several groups of hidden guards. The defense of Fan Mansion was extremely tight.
But outside of the strictness, as soon as you enter the house, you will immediately feel a completely different feeling.
You can’t actually see much obvious luxury in the servants and maids walking by, their clothes, the things they hold in their hands, and the plants and trees inside, but the luxury seems to be broken into pieces. It's like being rubbed into the wind and coming towards you.
After entering the back house, the steward took Zheng Fan and the four of them into a small courtyard called "Qingfangzhai".
The small courtyard is not large in area, but it has a strong sense of layout. There are small bridges, flowing water, pavilions and pavilions. It is dense but not cramped at all. The most important thing is that the location of this small courtyard is very convenient. .
From a military perspective, in this small courtyard, you can gain depth in all directions, which probably means that if someone comes to arrest you, you can escape in all directions.
"The feeling is indeed different." Zheng Fan walked to the pavilion and sighed.
Actually, the decoration of Earl's Mansion is also very good, but how can I put it, Fan Mansion is a different style, and it almost takes that style to the extreme, which can give people a different An ordinary look and feel.
A Ming hit the nail on the head and said: "The main reason is that our Earl's Mansion has few people."
Zheng Fan nodded after hearing this.
BecauseZheng Fan himself likes to be quiet, and secondly for safety reasons. There are very few servants in the Earl's Mansion. No matter how good a house is, if no one lives in it and it is not popular enough, it will not have that smell.
Of course there is another very important reason. In the Hirano residence, there are more inhumans than humans!
The steward led Zheng Fan and others in and then exited. Immediately, a group of maids came in and served dishes and snacks.
They are all extremely exquisite food. Like the decoration here, maybe Zheng Fan is not very accustomed to the cooking habits of this era. He still prefers Siniang’s cooking, but if the ingredients are consistent, This extreme pursuit of excellence can still highlight the quality of the dishes.
But Zheng Fan was not very hungry. After eating a few snacks, he went into the house. There was a soup pool in the house. There was a tiger squatting next to the soup pool. Zheng Fan tried to pull the ring. After a while, , the hot water with white smoke actually gushes out from the tiger's mouth.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk.”
Uncle Zheng thought this design was really surprising.
Of course this cannot be a water heater, but like the soup house in "Spirited Away", there should be a special room in the Fan Mansion, and there will be people inside who are always watching the bids. When the sign moves, pour the hot water that has been burning into the opening.
Just to take a bath for the people in the house, you have to raise a large group of people, which is comparable to hiring a whole team to raise a dog in later generations.
Zheng Fan took off his clothes and sat in.
Some medicinal materials should be added to the hot water, which makes it taste slightly fragrant.
A Ming walked in and saw Zheng Fan taking a bath. He smiled and said: "It looks quite advanced."
"Well, let's come down and take a bath together?"
"No, Lord, I'm going to find the wine cellar."
Zheng Fan nodded, and after A Ming left, he continued to soak with his eyes closed for a while, and even took a sip in the soup pool. Take a nap.
After waking up, I crawled out and lay on the bed. I didn’t know what the bedding was made of, but it was very comfortable and had the feel of a woman’s smooth skin.
Uncle Zheng also subconsciously reached out and touched around to make sure Fan Zhengwen was not stupid enough to arrange something for him to sleep with the girl before he fell asleep.
This sleep was so comfortable, so comfortable.
When I woke up, it was already early morning.
Zheng Fan himself felt a little strange. After all, he was not in the Earl's Mansion. Generally speaking, outside, he did not have a complete sense of security, so he rarely slept well.
After all, he is a "battle-hardened" person. Who can really be heartless and sleep like a dead pig every day?
It seems that there is some special ingredient in this room, or this bed, that can help you sleep.
Zheng Fan shook his head and smiled;
Don’t underestimate the ancients. If the ancients wanted to be "extremely extravagant and lusty", they were really no worse than later generations.
After waking up and opening the window, Zheng Fan heard the laughter of a group of women coming from outside.
Because the window is shaded by flowers, I can see the pavilion there, but I can’t see the scene outside the window.
In that small pavilion, a group of young women were sitting together as if they were having a poetry party, reciting poems and composing poems, and joking with each other. They have unique characteristics, and they are not very old. Judging from the hair style, they should be all out of the ordinary.
This is probably the Twelve Hairpins of Fan Mansion that Fan Zhengwen mentioned before?
Don't mention it, it really has the flavor of "Dream of Red Mansions".
After all, they are flower buds soaked in the aura of wealth of wealthy people. They are completely different from the folk women Zheng Fan saw in Yan and Jin.
The fact that they are holding a poetry meeting here today should obviously be planned behind the scenes.
It was impossible that just after I moved into this courtyard, these beauties would gather in Qingfangzhai to have a "love show".
At this time, Chen Daole pushed open the door and walked in, holding breakfast in his hand.
As usual, they are all extremely exquisite food.
For Zheng Fan’s stomach, this kind of food will definitely get boring easily after eating it for a long time, but when you first enjoy it, it is absolutely delicious.
"Is there a poetry meeting outside?" Zheng Fan asked with a smile.
Chen Daole nodded and said, "They are the girls from the Fan Mansion. They live in different rooms and live in relatives' homes."
"Have we talked?" Zheng Fan asked.
"Yes, they said a few words when they first came in."
"Why didn't you accompany us to the poetry meeting?" Zheng Fan reached out and picked up a piece of pastry and put it into his mouth, "You are also a talented person of the Chen family."
"In front of my uncle, I dare not show my talent in a humble position."
Chen Daole has read Zheng Fan's "Zheng Zi's Art of War".
Zheng Fan nodded without blushing at all and said, "Indeed."
Chen Daole also smiled.
"Uncle, there is something that I have always wanted to say, but I don't know, uncle..."
"Well, don't worry, don't worry, what you said will happen." Will it affect our actions this time?”
“No.”
“Then don’t talk about it right away. We’ll talk about it after we get back.”
"But, uncle..."
"Just leave it like this."
Zheng Fan stood by the window, watching the orioles and Yanyans on the other side writing poems. Yes, while eating breakfast, this is probably what is called... beautiful and delicious.
In fact, Uncle Zheng could have walked over, copied a few poems, and showed them off in front of the little girl.
I had always imagined this in my dreams before,
But when it comes to this, I feel that it is no longer necessary. It’s good to just take a look. There is no need to forcefully interfere and affect the atmosphere.
......
"Isn't it beautiful?" On the roof, A Ming drank grape wine.He asked He Chunlai, who was sitting next to him, drinking old rice wine in the morning.
"Beautiful."
He Chunlai answered honestly.
The girls in the small pavilion are more distinctive and more temperamental than the other.
In this era, when a man marries a wife, age is not so important. It is common for young and old to marry each other.
Although we are all adults, we don’t think there is anything inappropriate or evil about marrying a girl who has not left the court now.
"But the Lord may not like it." A Ming said.
He who knows me is the devil.
"Why?" He Chunlai was a little puzzled. He was not stupid. He knew that today's Meichai Poetry Meeting was definitely not that simple. Maybe these Meichai didn't know in their hearts that they had been put on the spot. It’s on the shelves, but Fan Zhengwen’s meaning is very obvious, I hope you will pick more.
You can pick them one by one, or you can give them in pairs.
Fan Mansion is eager to connect a few more lines besides the Sixth Prince's line, especially Uncle Hirano, who is obviously on the Sixth Prince's boat.
"The Lord's taste is not this."
"Taste?"
"The Lord's literary talent is very high. If he is willing, he can do it now Go up and copy... No,
I want to make some great poems.
But the Lord doesn’t have them, which proves that the Lord doesn’t like them.”
< p>"Oh."He Chunlai nodded.
A Ming took another sip of grape wine. There was a bottle next to it, which was full of ice cubes. The ice cubes were also divided into many flavors, which was enough to show how exquisite the life of the Fan family was.
"There are so many types of drinks. The Fan family is really too rich."
"I heard that the wedding of the sixth prince of Yanjing revealed something... "
"That's different. The sixth prince's money is not his own, it's his life money."
"Oh, it sounds very complicated."
"Hmm, eh?"
"What?"
"Look below, who is here, if Chen Daole has a bit of discernment, he should be like this I'm going out soon."
......
Chen Daole did go out after seeing her coming.
The visitor was wearing a white cloak and a red jacket, but they could not hide his beautiful figure.
While walking, she is bright and charming; her eyebrows are flowing, all graceful and graceful.
This is a beauty who combines beauty, figure, and temperament, and the three match perfectly harmoniously.
In A Ming's opinion, this woman was the first existence he had seen in this world that could rival Siniang.
I can’t say who is more beautiful, because Si Niang doesn’t have the tenderness and sadness between her eyebrows. I can only say that there are two flowers in bloom, each with its own elegance.
The most important thing is,
This woman should have been a married woman.
"Sister Liu, won't you come and write poetry with us?"
"Yes, Sister Liu is here, let's be playful together."
"Frown "My son has made a good poem, I will read it to my sister."
Sister Liu, who is known as Sister Liu, smiled and said: "Girls, be stubborn first, I will." I came here to ask for advice from my husband on my grandmother's orders."
"Sister Liu, go quickly, my grandmother's business is important."
"We'll have fun together later. ."
The woman smiled slightly, motioned to a maid and a woman behind her to wait there, opened the door and walked in.
Before going in, her eyes wandered slightly from Chen Daole who had just come out. After seeing Chen Daole lower his head slightly and take half a step back, she confirmed that the man was not the real owner.
The woman walked in,
At this time,
Uncle Zheng, who was standing at the window watching a group of little girls playing and eating, had already sat back in his chair on, holding a book in his hand.
The book was not picked up backwards.
At the same time,
A red stone was placed on the ground by Uncle Zheng and stepped on it with his boots.
The woman walked in,
saw Zheng Fan,
At the same time,
Uncle Zheng also slowly raised his head and looked at her .
The woman was immediately frightened and took two steps back. She was not pretending.
A woman has a good life, but also a bad life. The good life is that she married into the Fan Mansion early. The husband and wife were originally harmonious, but her husband died of illness soon after the marriage and she became a widow; although she would be criticized by some people in the mansion. It's broken, but Fan's mother loves him, his sister-in-law loves him, and the girls respect him, so he lives a comfortable life.
Her life is miserable because she is doomed to stay at the end of the bed for the rest of her life. At the same time, she has a younger brother by her side. She can live a good life, but with her status, she wants to support her. It is somewhat difficult for the younger brother of the family. After all, a woman is like throwing water when she gets married. It is against the rules to use the Fan family's money to supplement her mother's family, whether it is a civilian or a powerful family.
And a woman’s fear,
is really not an act,
In the final analysis,
she was in her natal family when she was young and later remarried. Entering the Fan family, it has always been a gentle land of wealth and pleasant people, and even a fallen leaf can cause death from sadness;
Where have I ever seen a man like Zheng Fan.
Yes,
Uncle Hirano,
Commander of Snow Customs,
After several years of experience, he has grown up step by step,
p>
Uncle Zheng now really has that kind of aura of not being angry and being proud.
This is the cry of thousands of troops and horses, and it is piled up by countless enemy corpses.
Although it is not as elegant as Tian Wujing when Zheng Fan first met Jingnan Hou, it is really not that far behind.
The most important thing is,Marquis Jingnan was unintentional and natural, but Uncle Zheng also added some deliberateness here.
The woman was a little scared,
Bai Tooth bit her lip.
Uncle Zheng restrained his urge to lick his lips.
This woman really has a charm that can seduce people's hearts with every gesture, as if she was born with a charming personality.
The Hakka family member is also good-looking, but she really doesn’t have the posture and expression of the woman in front of her.
When you see her, the meaning of gentleness will immediately appear in your mind, which can transform thousands of strong ones.
You know, even A Ming, who was sitting on the roof, a vampire who was jokingly said by the demon kings to have no interest in women, recognized the beauty of this woman.
Uncle Zheng, it’s normal to be a little tempted.
Finally,
the woman stabilized her mind and smiled slightly at Zheng Fan,
her voice was still trembling,
Tao:
"Liu, Liu Ruqing, the fourth roommate of Fan Mansion, has met my uncle~"
Uncle Zheng subconsciously moved his body,
said:
"What did you call me?"
"Uncle~~~"
"Hiss..." Zheng Fan.
The red stone under Zheng Fan’s feet began to become restless, because he found that this woman was very threatening!
But Zheng Fan used his feet to forcefully suppress it.
At the same time,
pretending to be indifferent:
“I didn’t hear clearly.”
Liu Ruqing believed it to be true, but under Zheng Fan’s eyes Under the gaze, his body was still shaking slightly uncontrollably,
He shouted again:
"Uncle~~~~"
————< /p>
Two updates will resume tomorrow.
Good night.
