The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 25

[Chapter 25 Lantern]

Zhao Yan glared at him, her pretty face flushed with anger, and she said angrily: “Nonsense! Your Highness the Princess is good-looking, kind and generous. Talents all over the capital are lining up to marry the Princess, how can you marry her? Don’t go out!”

Fang Xiu looked at the girl in surprise and asked, “Have you seen the princess?”

Princess Anle has not yet left the palace, and she should live in the palace according to the rules.

Only when he reaches the age of sixteen can he leave the palace and open a mansion.

Therefore, it is difficult for anyone who is not a relative of the emperor or a female official in the palace to see the princess.

Fang Xiu thought about it, looking at Zhao Yan with suspicion on his face.

Could it be that this little girl is the daughter of a certain prince?

Otherwise, how would you know that ‘Her Royal Highness is good-looking and kind and generous’.

Zhao Yan dodged her eyes and said, “I guessed it.”

Fang Xiu sighed and said, “How did I hear that Princess Anle has a bad temper, willfulness, and small breasts.”

“You!”

Zhao Yan heard this, He was so angry that he grabbed Fang Xiu’s arm and gave him a vicious bite.

“Hiss”

Fang Xiu was bitten by her unexpectedly. He grinned in pain and trembled: “It hurts and let go!”

Zhao Yan heard that the pain in his voice did not seem to be fake, so she hurriedly let go.

Fang Xiu glared at her angrily and said angrily: “I didn’t say anything about you, why are you angry!”

Zhao Yan glared back and said, “I can’t bear to see you slandering Her Royal Highness, why are you biting me?” “I’m done!”

After she finished speaking, she seemed to be still angry, and rushed towards Fang Xiu, saying angrily: “I will not only bite you, but I will also beat you!”

Zhao Yan tried to hit Fang Xiu, but Fang Xiu refused.

Because of his two moves, Zhao Yan pinned her down on the blanket, and her hands were clasped behind her back.

Zhao Yan rode on him from behind, looked at him condescendingly, and said, “I will let you slander the princess again!”

“Master, I”

Bai Xiaochun opened the car curtain and saw that he was holding a sword to replace him just a few days ago. The girl Tian Xingdao was riding on her young master in a very ambiguous posture.

Then he saw his young master’s eyes as if he wanted to kill someone.

He trembled violently, and the next moment, he stretched out his hand and said while groping, “Master, my eyes suddenly lost sight just now. Can you help me take a look?”

Bai Xiaochun groped around and put down the car. After seeing the curtain, she said: “My eyes seem to be healed again, so I won’t bother you, Master. By the way, Master, we are here.”

Zhao Yan’s pretty face turned red, she glared at Fang Xiu fiercely, got up from him, and got off the carriage. .

Fang Xiu was left lying there alone, unable to figure out where he had offended this eldest lady.

Facts have proved that a woman does not need a reason to be angry.

Until two days later, when Zhao Yan saw Fang Xiu, she still didn’t look good at all.

Fang Xiu was also happy.

It was just right for her to ignore herself, at least she no longer had to practice those three-legged cat skills with her.

After walking out of the house, Fang Xiu glanced at the blue sky.

The sun is just right, warm and warm, and the breeze is blowing, which is very refreshing.

As usual, he was lying on the imperial chair in the courtyard, leaning against the wall with his eyes half closed.

The sun shines on the body, making it warm and comfortable.

Half of the twenty thousand taels of silver had been spent, and he bought all the shops in Gujing Street in the south of the city.

Redecoration and renovation will take some time.

When completed, it will be the first high-end leisure and entertainment area in Chu State integrating catering, accommodation and entertainment.

For Fang Xiu, a liberal arts man who neither knows how to make soap nor how to burn glass, using modern concepts to build the entertainment industry seems to be the only reliable way to make money.

Although twenty thousand taels of silver is enough for an ordinary person to spend a lifetime, Fang Xiu is a man who wants to be a spendthrift.

If you don’t make more money, how can you spend money better?

In fact, you don’t need to earn too much, as long as you can wait until the emperor changes his mind.

By that time, he can rest assured and live a relaxed and comfortable life as he is now.

Fang Xiu opened his eyes and sighed.

The power of the theory of ghosts and gods far exceeded his expectations. Whether Gujing Street can restore its former prosperity has become a big question that he has never thought about.

This plan was ruined from beginning to end by his sudden discovery of conscience. It can be said that he shot himself in the foot.

I just hope that those marketing techniques I learned in my previous life can come in handy.

Just when Fang Xiu was sighing in his heart, a rustling sound suddenly came from his ears.

He turned his head and looked over, and found the little maid Xiu’er squatting on the ground next to her, holding a branch in her hand and pulling something on the ground.

This strange behavior made Fang Xiu a little confused.

He walked up to Xiu’er and asked, “Xiu’er, what are you doing?”

The little maid stopped what she was doing, looked up and said, “You’re drawing.”

“Painting?”

Fang Xiu looked over and could vaguely make out the pattern on the ground.

He smiled: “Why are you drawing a mouse?”

The little maid’s pretty face flushed red, she quickly erased the pattern with a branch, and whispered: “Master, this, this is a rabbit!”

The rabbit she painted was recognized by others. Mouse, luckily it was the little maid Xiu’er. If it were Zhao Yan, there is no chance that she would fight Fang Xiu.

Thinking of the rabbit that was drawn into a ball of fat mice, Fang Xiu couldn’t help but want to laugh out loud. Seeing the little maid’s pretty face that was as red as dripping blood, she still held back her smile and asked: “It’s okay, let’s draw a rabbit.” What?”

The little maid blushed, lowered her head, rubbed her clothes, and whispered: “It was painted for the Lantern Festival. On that night, there will be lanterns in the house.”

The Lantern Festival is the Lantern Festival.

Unlike the earth, the first full moon night was postponed from the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to the nineteenth day of the first lunar month.

Although the days change, the rest of the customs are generally similar to those on Earth.

It is nothing more than eating Yuanxiao, visiting the flower market, admiring the lanterns, guessing lantern riddles, and dancing dragons and lions.

For these little maids in the mansion, the most attractive activity is undoubtedly the activity of admiring the lanterns.

Every year, on the Lantern Festival, the maids in the mansion would make lanterns by themselves, secretly competing with each other.

After dinner, the most talked about is whose lantern is more exquisitely made and has more exquisite patterns.

Fang Xiu thought for a while, waved to her and said, “Go and get your lantern.”

Xiu’er always obeyed her young master, nodded and entered the side room, and soon came out with something in her hand.

Fang Xiu looked at Xiu’er’s hand, which was made of bamboo shoots tied into a square frame and covered with a layer of white paper.

It’s not much different from the lanterns of the previous life, but it’s too rough.

“Young Master”

Xiu’er also knew that the lanterns she made were too crude, so she flushed with embarrassment, lowered her head, and did not dare to look at Fang Xiu.

Fang Xiuze seemed to have thought of something, took the lantern from her hand, and said: “Go to the house to grind ink.”
