The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 28

[Chapter 28 Shangyuan Festival]

Mansion has been preparing for many days, and the Shangyuan Festival has finally arrived.

At night, as soon as Fang Xiu walked out, he could see fiery red lanterns hanging all over the courtyard, creating a very festive atmosphere.

There were fried fruits and some exquisite snacks on the table.

Zhao Yan was sitting next to the table, holding his pretty face with one hand, looking at the bright moon in the sky, looking in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

The lantern that she loved so much before was placed on her lap, but now it didn’t arouse the slightest interest in her.

It was the Lantern Festival, but there was no family member in sight.

Even an old man who has experienced many vicissitudes of life will inevitably feel a little sad in his heart, let alone a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old.

But she chose the path herself, and she must bear the consequences.

Some things have to be decided by one person after all, and no one can help her.

Fang Xiu sighed, walked up and patted her shoulder, and said: “There is a lantern festival in the south of the city, do you want to go and see it?”

Zhao Yan looked up at him, shook her head, and said lonely: “I don’t want to go. “

Okay.”

Fang Xiu nodded and said, “I’ll go find Xiu’er later.”

Zhao

Yan blushed slightly and said, “I want to go again.”

Fang Xiu raised his eyebrows. : “Don’t you just say that?”

Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Yan glared at him and said angrily: “You care about me!” He

was capricious.

Duplicity.

Hey, woman.

Celebrating a festival means having lots of people to make it lively.

It’s a pity that Fang Xiu came to this world, but in just a few days, he didn’t get to know many people well.

The only one who can truly be considered a friend is Wu Yi.

Wu Yi is a man who knows nothing about eating, drinking, whoring or gambling. At this moment, he may not be looking for flowers in any brothel.

After thinking for a long time, he had no choice but to take Bai Xiaochun with him.

In addition to Bai Xiaochun, there was also Xiu’er…

When Fang Xiu found her, she was guessing lantern riddles in the backyard with the little maids in the house.

When she heard that the young master was going to take her out to play, the little maid was happier than anyone else and put on new clothes that she was only willing to wear once during the Chinese New Year.

When he walked to Fang Xiu’s side, his little face was like a blooming white orchid, filled with a happy smile.

Fang Xiu, Zhao Yan, the little maid and Bai Xiaochun got into the carriage and headed straight to the south of the city.

Anping’s Mansion was not far from the south of the city, but within half an hour, the group got off the carriage.

The streets are busy with traffic.

There were flaming red lanterns hanging under the eaves and on the trees everywhere, and there was a huge flow of people coming and going, making it very lively.

Even in the cold first month of the year, the streets are filled with a fiery atmosphere, making people’s hearts ripple with joy.

Zhao Yan and Xiu’er walked on the broad street as if they were entering the city for the first time.

Blinking his big curious eyes and looking around, he felt that everything he saw was so strange.

Fang Xiu was thinking about other things in his heart.

The renovation of Gujing Street has been basically completed, and the production of distilled liquor is on track under Bai Xiaochun’s supervision. A jar of distilled high-strength liquor was shipped to Chunfeng Building this morning.

What he was worried about was not these, but… two kings fighting for the heir.

According to common sense, if Zuihua Pavilion failed last time, Prince Ning would definitely think of other ways to win over the Fang family.

But now half a month has passed, and there is no movement from him, which is really unreasonable.

Of course, it is also possible that An Pingbo left the capital to worship his ancestors, which made the two kings understand that it was not feasible to win over the general.

However…

as An Pingbo’s only heir, it’s better to be more cautious in this regard.

“Master, let’s go over there and have a look, okay?”

Fang Xiu was lost in thought when he heard a soft voice.

Turning around, he saw the little maid blinking her big shining eyes and looking at herself pitifully.

On the side, Zhao Yan pretended to be nonchalant, but her eyes turned to herself from time to time, obviously also very interested in the ‘over there’ that the little maid said.

Fang Xiu smiled and said, “Go.”

The little maid’s eyes turned into a crescent moon, and she said with a smile: “Thank you, Master.”

After she finished speaking, she took Zhao Yan’s arm: “Miss Zhao, Let’s go.”

The place where the little maid and Zhao Yan were going was the Rouge Shop, but Fang Xiu couldn’t follow them anymore, so he had to find a place to stay and rest for a while.

Bai Xiaochun stood aside, taking a defensive posture, looking around, as if a gangster would attack at any time.

Fang Xiu couldn’t stand it anymore, so he kicked him and said, “Stop pretending. If there are really bad guys, you might be able to run faster than me.”

Bai Xiaochun rubbed his butt and said aggrievedly: “Little one, Being loyal to the young master can serve as a lesson to the world.”

Fang Xiu glanced at him and ignored him.

Because of the Lantern Festival, even though this street is close to the haunted ancient well, there are many more people than usual.

I have to say that the quality of the beauties in Chu State is really good.

In this age where makeup, plastic surgery, and photoshop are all a must, all beauties are purely natural.

Even if she wears makeup, she just puts on some light rouge.

Of course, our little maid Xiu’er and the charming eldest daughter Zhao Yan can also be regarded as little beauties.

Although she is a little younger, she will grow up in a few years. Not only will she be a beauty in the country, but at least on earth, she will be a beauty comparable to a star.

Fang Xiu’s resistance to beautiful women is much stronger now than in his previous life.

In addition to Xiu’er, there are also a bunch of good-looking maids in the mansion. Beauties, big and small, are dazzling in front of his eyes all day long, which directly leads to Fang Xiu’s immunity to beautiful women being greatly improved.

Even if you meet a beautiful person on the street, at most you will just glance at her with admiration.

Of course, this time is an exception.

In front of the candy man stall not far away, a graceful figure stood tall and graceful.

Through the bright yellow lanterns hanging on the willow treetops, Fang Xiu could see the man’s face clearly.

Her skin is like cream, her eyes are like autumn water, her nose is straight and straight, her red lips are moist, and her teeth are like jade

.

Because the woman’s face was covered with a thin veil, she couldn’t see clearly at all. She could only vaguely tell that she was a beauty.

She just stood there quietly, with her white skirt flowing, her hair like clouds, and her graceful figure.

Fang Xiu glanced at it, many times, but still couldn’t look away.

Bai Xiaochun also noticed Fang Xiu’s gaze at this moment, with a flattering smile on his face, and whispered: “Master, do you want to do a little investigation?”

Bullying men and dominating women is an essential skill for a loser.

But this is in the capital, and even a small piece of grass on the roadside cannot be stepped on at will.

Maybe it was the exotic flowers and plants that some prince kept on the roadside, let alone a beautiful woman.

Therefore, it is essential to investigate in advance which girl the young master has his eyes on.

Fang Xiu glared at him and said only one word: “Get out!” He

turned around and looked again, only to find that the woman had disappeared into the vast sea of people.
