    On the way back, Fang Jinshi was thinking about what kind of person Zhao Kai would send to keep an eye on him. When he drove the carriage to a congested intersection, Fang Jinshi thought to himself, discuss it with his eldest brother first and listen to his opinion.  Say it again.

    He turned around and headed towards Jinxianzhuang. When he arrived at Jinxianzhuang, Fang Jinshi stopped the carriage and walked in. When he arrived at the living room where Shi Quan would usually be, Shi Quan and Feng Wan were sitting there chatting. As soon as Fang Jinshi came in,  Feng Wan saw him first and said, "You came to pick someone up so early?"

    Fang Jinshi was stunned: "Who to pick up?"

    Feng Wan teased him: "Of course it's your little sweetheart, who else could it be? Did you find someone new?"

    Fang Jinshi understood that she was talking about Xue Ling and asked, "Is she here?"

    Feng Wan said: "You didn't even know she came here. Husband, husband, husband within one foot, but you don't even know she's so far away from you. How can this be possible? If you go back and divorce her, she won't want her anymore."

    Of course she was joking, Shi Quan glared at her and said, "You are the only one who can talk."

    Feng Wan smiled softly and said: "No matter how much I say, brothers will never let go. But to be honest, this brother is the closest to me. He is hard-working and down-to-earth. He is much better than the two of you.  Ah, you are always polite to me, it seems too irritating."

    Shi Quandao: "You are gossiping again. Is this what you should say?"

    Feng Wan said: "What's the matter with this? I didn't say anything else. I just asked my brother's wife and concubine to come and sit with me when they have time. Don't let me, the sister-in-law, know anything about it. Is this wrong?"

    Shi Quan said to Fang Jinshi, "Don't listen to her nonsense. Those in your family are all well-educated and have never lost etiquette."

    Fang Jinshi said: "Sister-in-law is right. Sister-in-law has always been outspoken and will say whatever she wants. It's not the first day I've known her, and I've never heard of her talking nonsense."

    Feng Wan said happily: "My brother-in-law said this the most to me. I'm not like your eldest brother. I'm rigid and stubborn. There are so many brothers in the world. I don't know how many concubines and concubines I have.  Isn¡¯t it normal that one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer?¡±

    Shi Quan said: "Well, I will also find a few women to be concubines tomorrow."

    Feng Wan said: "If you can learn to be as considerate as a brother and know how to coax women, I have no problem with it. If you can't even coax me, how can you deal with other women? I think you should save your worries."

    Shi Quan was speechless and quickly pushed her out the door and said, "Brother, you've been here for so long, why don't you invite someone over?"

    Fang Jinshi was very amused when he heard his couple's banter. Shi Quan pushed Feng Wan out of the door and turned to Fang Jinshi and said seriously: "Brother, don't like this. Anyway, I think that since they have followed us, we have to do it."  Whole-hearted, isn¡¯t it?¡±

    Fang Jinshi said: "What the eldest brother said is that I really couldn't control myself before, but I won't be able to control myself anymore."

    Shi Quan patted him on the shoulder and said, "That's right, that's enough. You have one wife and two concubines now, that's enough."

    Fang Jinshi said seriously: "I will definitely take your elder brother's words to heart."

    Shi Quan poured him a cup of tea with satisfaction. Fang Jinshi sat down and said, "Today I was summoned by the Holy Grace and passed on the imperial edict that I will not be allowed to serve as the official of the three secretaries. I will be transferred to the Suhang Yingfeng Bureau as the Deputy Disposal Officer."  Made it."

    Shi Quandao: "Then is this a promotion or a level adjustment?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "The position has been promoted. Now the captain of Jiajiaqi is promoted from the fifth rank. However, the dispatch has become much more leisurely, and he no longer has real power."

    Shi Quanxi said: "It's good if you get promoted. Brother has already been promoted to the fifth rank. I'm really happy for you. You are still so young. You will definitely be able to become a more important official in the future. Last time you told me that you would go to the third rank."  When taking up the post of Secretary, I have been worried that you are not familiar with the place and will not be able to do it. Now it is better to take it step by step and lay a good foundation."

    Fang Jinshi said: "It turns out that eldest brother has been worried that I will be promoted too quickly."

    Shi Quan said sheepishly: "That's not the case anymore. I just watched others work hard to get a good name. After ten or twenty years of experience, only a few people can reach your position. Brother is afraid that you will be too smooth and too successful."  I take it for granted that I fall down, but I always feel that it is better to stay steady than to have big ups and downs.¡±

    Fang Jinshi said: "What's going on for me? I just don't want to tell my brother about my difficulties. I really know how to be warm and cold. I keep it in my heart. I won't talk about it anymore. I have to go back to Huaidong this time, or  I am in charge of the Sihai Company. I can do whatever I want this time. Even the officials support me. Why not move Mianxianzhuang to Huaidong? We brothers work together. The eldest brother will only do it, and I will only sell it. It won¡¯t be long.  In the next year, I will definitely make Mianxian Village the best cloth store in the world."

    Shi Quandao: "You have mentioned this several times. How many generations will it take?"Moving your business is not easy.  "

    Fang Jinshi actually had other ideas. He knew that this time Shi Quan would still be unable to persuade him, so he didn't say anything more. Feng Wan led Xue Ling in. Fang Jinshi asked her, "What are you doing behind the scenes? Don't say anything."  Why bring trouble to my elder brother and sister-in-law?"

    Feng Wan said: "How could it be? She is learning how to make clothes and embroider at my place."

    Xue Ling approached Fang Jinshi, got close to his arm and said, "Are you coming to take me back?" She looked up at Fang Jinshi's eyes, her eyes full of affection. Before Fang Jinshi could speak, Shi Quan said, "You can't go back until you drink today.  Brother has been promoted again, how can we not celebrate?"

    Feng Wandao: "If you want to drink, you can always find a reason."

    Shi Quandao: "What I said is the truth. My brother got promoted today."

    Fang Jinshi said: "I'm afraid I won't be able to drink enough wine today. Not only did the officials promote me today, they also gave me some trouble."

    Shi Quandao: "What's the trouble?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "The official said that an old man from his Prince Yun's palace was sent to my home so that I can take care of him till the end of my life."

    Shi Quan was also greatly surprised and asked: "Who is this old man?"

    Fang Jinshi smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know either. The officials only say that he has a special status and cannot let outsiders know his identity."

    Shi Quandao: "This is a strange thing."

    Feng Wan said on the side: "Since the official asked you to do this, he always wanted you to understand why he did it. Why didn't you ask clearly on the spot?"

    Shi Quan rolled his eyes at her and said: "You are really ignorant. Do you think those high-ranking officials can speak clearly? Not to mention the official family. I think this matter needs to be handled with great care. I'm afraid it's  The officials don't trust you and deliberately arranged for someone to be around you."

    Fang Jinshi admired Shi Quan a little. He was worthy of having been in business for so long. He suddenly thought of this. He sighed and said: "I'm afraid that the person has been sent to my home at this time. The official ordered me not to do it easily."  If you reveal the identity of this old man, there is no excuse to push him out of the door."

    Feng Wan said: "Isn't there no one else in your house at this time?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "There is only one old man guarding the door."

    Feng Wan said: "Then you won't go back tonight. The old people who came out of Prince Yun's Mansion are probably very bad-tempered. Maybe they don't want to be angry in their hearts, and they want to take it out on you. There is not a single maid or servant in the manor, so they must look at you.  It's pleasing to the eye. In my opinion, it's better to go back with a few maids and servants tomorrow morning and let him make the fuss. It's much better than if you go back now. He won't starve to death if he doesn't eat all night."

    Fang Jinshi couldn't help but start to admire this sister-in-law. She really thought about them in everything, but Shi Quan said: "This old man was personally entrusted by the current officials. How dare you neglect him? Do you really want to die?"

    He turned to Fang Jinshi and said, "But what she said makes sense. It's better for the two of you to go back alone. First, find a way to explore this old man's tone, have a chat with him for dinner, and find out his temperament."  , it will be inconvenient for the two of you to go back. Even if he has a bad temper, you just have to find a way to escape and find some maids and servants to go back with him tomorrow, that's it."

    Fang Jinshi heard that what Shi Quan said was very reasonable, so he nodded and said: "This is best. He will be supported by me in the future, so he won't be too disrespectful to me when we meet."

    Xue Ling said disappointedly: "Then can't I follow you back?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "You will stay with my sister-in-law tonight, and you will go back tomorrow."

    Xue Ling whispered: "I haven't seen you for several days."

    Feng Wan came over and took her hand and said: "It's a serious matter for my brother to go back alone, and he's not going to accompany any woman. You guys have a long time to come, but you only have one night without sleeping in the same bed, so it will pass after you endure it.  "

    Xue Ling felt embarrassed and turned around shyly. Fang Jinshi also smiled and said to Feng Wan, "Then she will continue to trouble my sister-in-law to take care of her tonight."

    Feng Wandao: "I'll have a nice talk with her tonight and ask you how you deceived her."

    Fang Jinshi laughed, and his mood suddenly became much more relaxed. He said goodbye to Shi Quan and his wife, and went out to catch the carriage to go home. When he was almost home, the sky had darkened. There was a fire somewhere in the distance. The light of the fire could be seen from such a distance.  Fang Jinshi thought to himself: It would be best not to kill anyone.

    He arrived at the door of his house. The old man who watched the door opened the door. Fang Jinshi drove the carriage through the door. Just as he was about to jump down, a person appeared from behind the wall and said, "Are you Fang Jinshi?"

    Fang Jinshi saw that this man was wearing the clothes of the Imperial City. He was a young eunuch from the Huangmen, and he quickly said: "Exactly."The little eunuch of Huangmen said: "You are finally back. We have been waiting for two hours."

    Fang Jinshi quickly jumped down and bowed to him: "I'm sorry, just now"

    The eunuch of Huangmen stopped him and said, "No need to gossip, just come with me."

    Fang Jinshi followed the little eunuch of Huangmen to the main room of his home. He saw eight sword-wielding guards standing around the main room with serious expressions, watching him closely.

    Seeing this situation, Fang Jinshi felt a little nervous in his heart. The little eunuch of Huangmen stood still in front of the door and said: "Fang Guan, when Prince Yun's Mansion came, the sedan was carried into the house. We exited. We waited until the people got on the sedan before we entered the house and carried them out.  , when I get to your place, I will wait for you to get out of the sedan chair, and we will come and guard you only after the person enters your house. None of us have seen a single piece of clothing of the person in the sedan chair, can you believe it?"

    Fang Jinshi said hurriedly: "Of course I believe my father-in-law."

    The little eunuch of the Huangmen said: "That's good. I'll leave the person in your hands. I'll go back and deliver the order soon." He waved his hand, and eight guards gathered in front of the door and followed the little eunuch of the Huangmen out.  After entering his gate, these people left in a hurry, as if they were afraid of staying for a while.

    Fang Jinshi stood at the door of his main room, adjusted his breathing, and then dared to slowly and gently push the door. Judging from the situation, this old man might really have a special status.

    Fang Jinshi coughed first and told the old people inside to pay attention to someone coming in. He even felt that these people from the palace did not care about other people's feelings when doing things. This was the main house where he and Liang Cuirong lived. They carried people  There is something wrong with coming here.

    Fang Jinshi walked into the room. To his surprise, there was no one in the room. There was a nanmu wooden box inlaid with golden brass flowers on the ground. The wooden box was not big.  , are all pleasing to the eye. This wooden box alone is like a work of art. The wooden box is not locked and is just placed on the ground casually.

    Of course, this wooden box did not belong to Fang Jinshi's home. It was brought by the people who were carried here. However, there was no one in the house. The visitor could only go around the four screens and go to his inner bedroom.

    Fang Jinshi was slightly angry, feeling that the visitor was too rude. He walked slowly across the screen with heavy steps. Right in front of the window at the door of his bedroom, a woman was looking out the window with her back to him. Fang Jinshi looked at her from behind,  She has an extremely graceful and well-proportioned figure. She is of medium height. Her hair is not tied up and hangs down to her waist. She is wearing a dark blue and white dress. She lowers her hand with one hand and holds it on the window pane. Fang Jinshi sees that her fingers on the window are very slender.  , The wrist is as white as the bright moon. This slender hand is definitely not the wrist of an elderly man.

    This woman was standing in front of the window looking out the window. The sky in the direction she was looking was red and bright, which was the direction of the fire. The distant firelight fell on her shoulders, either brightly or darkly. Fang Jinshi wanted to cough to arouse her.  Attention, but finally held back, he just stood behind this woman, looking at her back quietly, her back was so beautiful, and so fascinating, Fang Jinshi started from her hair behind  , his eyes moved downward inch by inch to appreciate her heels. This woman wore a pair of blue embroidered thin-soled shoes. She stood there casually, and she would stand with her legs straight, no matter where she stood.  How long will it take, the toes of her feet will not become loose and become horoscopes, they will always be straight and upright. This is the result of strict training and long-term habituation. Fang Jinshi knows that Yun Nuer was like this before.  The woman standing there looked a bit like Yun Nuer, or she looked very much like Yun Nuer.

    After a long, long time, the burning sky in the distance was no longer very bright. The woman sighed deeply. This sigh sounded to Fang Jinshi as if it came from hundreds of years ago through time and space, and finally let him  Hearing this, the woman slowly turned around, and the light outside shone on her face. A small face with extremely delicate features appeared in front of Fang Jinshi. Fang Jinshi could hardly breathe when he saw the woman's appearance and figure.  .

    This woman looks to be twenty-four or five years old at most, and she is definitely not an elderly person. Her skin is fairer than Liang Cuirong, who Fang Jinshi is proud of, and her figure is even more flawless than golden silk.  , her dignified appearance and temperament are indistinguishable from Yun Nuer. Her eyes are brighter and more beautiful than Xue Ling. She has concentrated all the advantages of the beautiful women in Fang Jinshi's family and even those he has seen in her.  You can hardly find anything wrong with a person as she is at this moment.

    She just turned back casually, looking at Fang Jinshi without saying anything. Her eyes were so peaceful and melancholy. Fang Jinshi adjusted his breathing deeply, and after a while he burst out two words:  "It's you?"

    This woman of incomparable beautyHe lowered his eyes, took out a mouthful of orchid fragrance, and whispered: "I'm afraid you can't think of it, and I can't even think of it."

    This woman is the famous flying general Li Shishi.

    When Fang Jinshi saw her, he immediately remembered that since the last time Li Shishi accompanied Liang Hongyu to his house and listened to Huang Jinmian playing the piano, he turned around and told Huang Jinmian that she was Li Shishi.  He also once showed him a "secret poem", a poem about "Youth Travel" written by the scholar Zhou Bangyan. Fang Jinshi forced himself to write it down at that time:

    "The sword is like water, Wu Yan beats the snow, and his delicate hand breaks the new orange."  The brocades are beginning to warm up, and the smoke from the beasts is constantly rising. They sit opposite each other and tune the sheng.

    I asked in a low voice who I was going to spend the night with. It was already three o'clock in the city.  The horses are slippery and the frost is thick, so it is better to leave. There are only a few people traveling.

    Only Li Shishi in the world can be worthy of the eight words "The sword is like water, Wu Yan beats the snow." This poem was written by Zhou Bangyan to Li Shishi.
