The happy life of a prodigal

Fangfu.

Fang Xiu came back from the academy, feeling a little tired, and was about to go back to rest for a while, when he heard a familiar voice before he reached the courtyard.

"elder brother!"

It's Fang Ru.

After seeing her for a few days, Fang Xiu always felt that she was taller again.

"You promised me, let me be the catcher?"

Fang Ru stood in front of Fang Xiu, folded her arms, and asked.

Fang Xiu glanced at her, waved his hands and said, "Go back and wait."

"I've been waiting for more than ten days!"

Fang Ru pouted and said angrily.

Fang Xiu looked at her and asked, "Do you know about the women's imperial examination?"

"Women's imperial examination?"

A puzzled expression appeared on Fang Ru's pretty face.

During this period of time, she was either practicing martial arts or reading books, and she really didn't pay attention to some things that happened in the capital.

Hearing this, he shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it. Can women also take part in the imperial examination?"

"It will be fine after a while."

Fang Xiu sighed, and said leisurely: "You study hard, practice martial arts hard, and take part in the women's imperial examination. When the time comes, I will let you be a fast catcher."

"Really?"

Fang Ru looked suspiciously at Fang Xiu.

"Fake, don't believe it."

Fang Xiu said angrily.

Fang Ru curled her lips and stopped talking.

Fang Xiu shook his head and walked into the yard.

Before taking a few steps, Fang Ru called to stop her.

"Brother, stop!"

Fang Xiu turned around and looked at her: "What's the matter?"

Fang Ru showed hesitation on her face, after thinking about it, she still told the truth: "Brother, Zhao Yan she...she..."

"What's up with her?"

Fang Xiu's heart skipped a beat.

Although I know that Zhao Yan is protected by master-level masters.

But seeing Fang Ru's expression, he still couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Seeing this scene, Fang Ru showed a sly smile on her face, and said, "It's nothing, it's just that she's going out of town for a few days and doesn't know what to do, let me tell you."

"Out of town?"

Fang Xiu was relieved when he heard this.

As long as there is no sudden accident, with Zhao Yan's identity, there is a high probability that nothing will happen.

It's just, what is she doing out of town at this point in time.

In the past, no matter what happened, she would not act alone, she always found him to act together.

This time, why did you go out of the city alone?

Although he was puzzled, Fang Xiu waved his hand without thinking too much, and said, "Got it."

During this time, things happened one after another.

Fang Xiu didn't take much rest.

When I opened my eyes the next day, it was already noon.

At this time, Xiu'er's voice came from outside the door.

"Master, a guest has arrived."

Fang Xiu got up, pushed open the door, frowned, and asked softly, "What guest?"

Xiu'er gave Fang Xiu a wink.

Fang Xiu turned his head to look, and saw a fairly familiar face.

Gray hair, but the temperament is still the same.

It was the Duke of England, one of the three princes, and Xia Yixue's father.

"British?"

Fang Xiu was still a little confused, rubbed his eyes, and asked subconsciously.

British public, he knows it.

Also met a few times.

But they didn't talk a few words.

After all, he couldn't understand these old guys.

These old guys can't understand them either.

Unfortunately, there's nothing they can do about each other, so it's better not to see each other.

The last time I saw this British Duke seemed to be a few months ago, when something happened in the capital and King Ning rebelled.

When he held the Tiger Talisman and ordered the British Duke to lead the army.

"Cough cough..."

Hearing Fang Xiu's voice, the British Duke pretended to cough twice, with a smile on his face that he thought was very warm, and said: "Nephew, uncle, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Fang Xiu felt uncomfortable when he heard this voice, he waved his hands hastily and said: "Uncle, don't laugh, I'm afraid."

Indeed, with such a murderous face, pretending to be kind, no one would feel comfortable.

"..."

Hearing this, the British public was a little embarrassed.

But after all, he is a person who has seen the world, so he quickly adjusted his mentality, and said with a smile: "Nephew Fang Xian, uncle, I came this time to ask you something."

When Fang Xiu heard this, he thought of something instantly and glanced at Xiu'er.

Xiu'er understood immediately and went to make tea.

Fang Xiu sat opposite the Duke of England, cupped his hands and said, "If uncle has anything to do, just ask, my nephew will know everything."

"Hahahaha, it's not a big deal."

The British prince waved his hand and said with a smile: "I heard that my nephew, you are recruiting boatmen recently?"

Chapter 676 True and False

The British Duke smiled when he heard this.

Looking at Fang Xiu with a pair of eyes, he said slowly: "Nephew, I heard that you are recruiting boatmen recently, and you also bought a piece of land near the sea in Jinzhou Prefecture?"

When Fang Xiu heard this question, his expression didn't change at all, and he said flatly: "It's just a rumor.

Uncle, you also know that my nephew's reputation in the capital... well, not very good.

Naturally, there are more troublemakers.

For no reason, why should I recruit boatmen?Why sell the land in Jinzhou Prefecture.

Anyone with a discerning eye will know that it is impossible after thinking about it. "

Fang Xiu completely denied the matter as soon as he opened his mouth.

Then, the British Duke's expression became even more suspicious.

Obviously, he didn't believe Fang Xiu's words.

In fact, he had already inquired about it before coming here.

This kid was indeed recruiting boatmen, and he was recruiting secretly, and they all went to other state capitals. After recruiting, they were not sent to the capital, but directly sent to Jinzhou Prefecture along the coast.

Of course, he still had some doubts.

After all, the term "Golden Land" is too inexplicable, as if it appeared suddenly. The most strange thing is that this term came out when the pirates were prevalent, which inevitably makes people suspicious.

That's why he thought of going to Fang's mansion to test Fang Xiu, but he didn't expect him to strongly deny it.

Then you are right.

Denying it vigorously means that it must be true!

The place is full of gold, but this kid still wants to hide it and monopolize it all by himself, it's too greedy!

Fortunately, someone told him the news.

Otherwise, he would still be in the dark!

Thinking of this, the British Duke smiled and chatted about other topics.

It wasn't until half an hour later that he got up and said, "Okay, nephew, let's stop talking here today. If there is anything to do in the future, I will go to the UK to recruit my uncle, and my uncle will support you!"

You old bastard, besides having a beautiful daughter, you have nothing else, but you still support it, support it!

Fang Xiu slandered a few words, but with a smile on his face, he cupped his hands and said, "Then my nephew won't see my uncle off, walk slowly."

The British Duke smiled and waved his hands, and left Fangfu.

He was not in a hurry to return to the British government, but went to the private room of a restaurant.

The private room is full of dignitaries such as marquis and uncles.

I have been waiting for the British public for a long time.

"The British prince has arrived."

"British..."

In the private room, when they saw the British prince, everyone stood up and saluted.

The British Duke looked at them, exchanged pleasantries, and then sat down.

After drinking for three rounds, the British official asked all the nobles.

"Guess where the old man went just now?"

Everyone looked at each other and asked questions.

"The British prince must be busy with important things."

"That's right, there must be something important. Could it be that you are discussing with His Majesty in the Nuan Pavilion?"

"..."

Hearing this, the British public showed a mysterious smile on his face, waved his hands, and said with a smile: "That's not the case...

In fact, the old man went to Fang Mansion. "

Fangfu?

When everyone heard this, their expressions became a little strange.

Lin Zehou, they all know each other, and the relationship between them is not a life-and-death relationship, but it's okay.

However, Lin Zehou was sent to an important town by His Majesty a few days ago to guard it.

In other words, there is only one Marquis of Xin'an left in Fangfu today.

How about Xin'an Hou...
