The happy life of a prodigal

only......

Fang Xiu looked at Uncle Anping and said speechlessly, "Father, how long will it take you to leave the capital?"

"Your Majesty's decree, at most half a month, as a father, you must lead the army and leave for the southwest."

"Half a month..."

Fang Xiu covered his head and said helplessly: "Even a pig can't be so fast."

After hearing this, Uncle An Ping was startled.

Immediately, he seemed to understand something, shook his head, and said, "You misunderstood what Dad meant.

Father wants you to start a family and start a business quickly, marry a daughter-in-law first, and then...

Half a month should be enough. "

Hearing him say such indecent words in such a serious manner, Fang Xiu felt helpless for a while.

Uncle An Ping showed a pensive look on his face, and said: "Father has already heard that His Majesty has no intention of marrying you.

As long as it is not Her Royal Highness, there are so many ladies in our capital, there is always a suitable one.

Although the Fang Mansion is not considered a famous family in the capital, it is also a noble family. As long as the dowry is enough, there will always be a family that intends to marry into our Fang Mansion...

Father remembers that Minister of the Ministry of Officials has a youngest daughter who is twenty-eight years old, just the right age for marriage, and I heard that she has a gentle personality, just right..."

"Got it..."

Fang Xiu saw that his cheap father was getting more and more excited as he talked more, so he hurriedly waved his hands to stop him, and said, "You are only twenty-eight years old, isn't it a bit young..."

At the age of twenty-eight, that is, 16 years old, in future generations, that is still a child's paper.

When Uncle An Ping heard this, he straightened his face and said, "Tell Dad the truth, do you not want to get married?"

Seeing this, Fang Xiu felt a little helpless, thought for a while, and said, "I didn't mean that, it's just that we need to agree with each other in matters of marriage. Dad, you are a little too anxious."

"Marriage is the order of your parents and the words of the matchmaker. Don't think that your father doesn't know. In the past, when you went to hang out in those Yirenju and Baihua Pavilions, your father never cared about you.

Up to now, you and Weifu have some kind of sympathy, do you think Weifu believes? "

Uncle An Ping stared at Fang Xiu, his voice raised a lot.

After Fang Xiu heard this, his face felt a little hot.

He really wanted to talk about those places of smoke and willows, but he had never been there.

However, there are indeed some memories in his mind, so he doesn't know how to speak.

While hesitating, he heard Uncle An Ping say: "This matter is settled like this. Tomorrow, as a father, I will send someone to the Ministry of Officials to ask for marriage!"

Chapter 449 What kind of courtship?

"A courtship? What courtship?"

Uncle Anping had just finished speaking when he heard a woman's voice from outside.

Both Fang Xiu and Uncle An Ping were startled, and looked towards the door.

A familiar figure stood in front of the courtyard, looking at them as well.

The three of them stared at each other for a moment, all a little 'bewildered'.

It was An Pingbo who reacted first.

His eyes narrowed slightly, he hurriedly stepped forward, stood upright, bowed down respectfully, and shouted: "Chen An Ping Bo Fang Rui sees Your Highness the Princess!"

As an important general, in the entire Chu Kingdom, only when facing the emperor, did he need to kneel down.

At this moment, seeing the scene in front of her, Zhao Yan came to her senses and took a step forward: "Uncle Fang, you don't need to be polite, this princess is just passing by, and I need to discuss something with Xin'an Bo .”

After Fang Xiu heard this, he felt a little speechless.

You are a princess, if you have something to send a message, you want to go to the house to say it.

Isn't this 300 taels of silver here?

Sure enough, when Uncle An Ping heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, but his expression did not change at all, and he said: "Since Her Royal Highness has something to discuss with Gou Zi, I will not bother Your Highness here, I...resign!"

After finishing speaking, he saluted, then turned and left the courtyard.

Just before leaving, he gave Fang Xiu a meaningful look, but he didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow...

"Your father is back?"

As soon as Uncle An Ping walked away, the princess pose that Zhao Yan had put on before disappeared without a trace. She leaned in front of Fang Xiu and asked curiously.

When Fang Xiu heard this, he gave her an annoyed look and said, "Our Great Chu still has a second Anpingbo, Fang Rui?"

Not to be outdone, Zhao Yan stared back and said, "How did I know your father would come back suddenly?"

Seeing this, Fang Xiu waved his hands, sat on the stone bench, looked at Zhao Yan, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Can't come to your place if there's nothing wrong?"

Zhao Yan sat on another stone bench and said angrily.

Fang Xiu took a deep breath and didn't reply.

Your Royal Highness, I still can't afford to provoke you.

Otherwise, if I arouse her interest in martial arts, I'm afraid I will suffer from back pain for several days.

Seeing that Fang Xiu didn't speak, Zhao Yan calmed down a little, and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to accompany me to see the house last time, do you have time recently?"

Fang Xiu thought for a while and replied, "It was there just now, but it is gone now."

"why?"

Zhao Yan looked at him suspiciously and asked inexplicably.

Fang Xiu replied: "Because I will start a great career during this time."

"What business?"

Zhao Yan asked again.

Fang Xiu looked at her seriously, and said seriously, "Blind date."

"Blind date?"

After Zhao Yan heard this, she became even more puzzled and asked, "What is a blind date?"

In this era, there are only orders from parents and words from matchmakers, but there is no such thing as a blind date.

Fang Xiu thought for a while, and said very bluntly: "My father wants to hold a grandson."

"Hold a grandson?"

Zhao Yan was stunned, and asked: "Your father wants to hold a grandson, what does it have to do with you..."

The words came to an abrupt end here.

She widened her eyes, looked at Fang Xiu in front of her, and asked, "Do you have an older brother?"

Fang Xiu shook his head.

Zhao Yan asked again: "What about my brother?"

Fang Xiudao: "Our family has been passed down for three generations, and I am the only one in this generation."

Zhao Yan finally understood when she heard this, and said, "Does your father want you to get married?"

"should be."

"I disagree!"

As soon as Fang Xiu finished speaking, Zhao Yan yelled out.

After she finished yelling, she seemed to feel that something was inappropriate, her pretty face turned red, and she said falteringly: "If a girl from any family is caught by you, it will be bad luck for eight lifetimes.

This princess will never allow you to harm those girls from good families. "

When Fang Xiu heard this, he just looked at her with his eyes and didn't speak.

Zhao Yan dared to look at him with her big watery eyes at first.

However, after only a moment, her pretty face turned red, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at him again.

Inexplicably, I felt my heart beating faster.

At this time, she suddenly felt her pair of soft hands being held by another pair of slightly rough hands.

Zhao Yan's body trembled slightly, she slowly raised her head, her beautiful eyes looked at Fang Xiu in front of her.

She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she felt her throat was hoarse, and her heart was like a deer bouncing around, bang bang bang...

Nothing can be said.

Fang Xiu held Zhao Yan's hand, looked at her, smiled on his face, and said: "The orders from the parents and the words of the matchmaker are all fake in my opinion.

It's true only if I like it. "

Hearing this, Zhao Yan's pretty face suddenly turned red, as if congested with blood under the sun.

"I...I...you..."

When Zhao Yan heard this sudden confession, she instantly became at a loss, like a child who got something that didn't belong to her before, she couldn't even speak clearly.

Fang Xiu looked at her, chuckled lightly, and said, "I'm free these days, let's go and see your house together."

Zhao Yan looked at her toes with big watery eyes, didn't speak, just nodded lightly.

"Master, Master!"

At this time, there was a sudden shout from outside the courtyard.

Bai Xiaochun stood at the gate of the courtyard, staring blankly at the scene in front of him.

My young master and Miss Zhao seem to be...

He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stretched out his hands, groped forward, and said: "Young master, I heard that you have excellent medical skills, please help me take a look, what is the reason why my little eyes suddenly lost sight. …”

When Fang Xiu heard this, his face darkened immediately.

If he remembers correctly, this guy also used the same reason when he was in the carriage, without changing a single word.

Bai Xiaochun took two steps forward, turned around suddenly, and said again: "Ah, young master, my eyes suddenly recovered again, so I won't bother the young master, I will leave first..."

After speaking, he turned around and went outside.

"Get out of here!"

"Okay, master!"

When Bai Xiaochun heard this, he hurriedly turned around, but instead of looking at his young master, he lowered his head, as if there was silver on the ground.

At this time, Zhao Yan had already hid behind Fang Xiu.

She clearly wanted to be a chivalrous woman, but just holding hands changed her from a chivalrous woman to Lin Daiyu.

This change is too big.

Fang Xiu shook his head, looked at Bai Xiaochun, and asked, "What did you want to talk about just now?"

Bai Xiaochun stood upright, stared at the ground intently, cupped his hands and said, "Reply to Young Master, someone wants to see you outside..."

"Someone wants to see me?"

Fang Xiu showed doubts on his face and asked, "Who is it?"

4 Chapter Fifty Long Time No See

Bai Xiaochun lowered his head, and said, "It's a young master who said that he once met you, young master..."

Fang Xiu heard this and thought about it.

I don't know many people.

see once......

Still a son.

In my impression, there seems to be only the young gentleman from Gusu City that I met in Chunfeng Building a few days ago.
