The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 3

[Chapter 3 I want to lose my fortune!]

The shining blade was placed on his neck.

The girl’s pretty face turned pale with fright, without any trace of blood.

The martial arts master and peerless heroine in everyone’s eyes just… lost?

“Don’t come here! I, I am…”

The girl trembled, but before she could finish her words, she was knocked unconscious by a knife from the young guard.

“Master, what do you think?”

Fang Xiu waved his hand casually: “A little girl who has read too many stories, please leave it to the government.”

If you can carry a sword with you, it is still a sword depending on its quality.

This little girl must be the eldest lady raised in a boudoir by a noble family.

Fang Xiu didn’t need to think about it, he already knew the story of what happened to her.

It’s just that I read too many romance or martial arts novels, stole the sword at home, and prepared to go out and make a career in the world.

As a result, he was photographed by his own guards on the lakeside before even leaving the capital.

It’s a good thing she didn’t leave the capital, otherwise such a simple and violent purdah lady would have been chewed to the bone.

“I understand, young master, what about her?”

the young guard asked.

Fang Xiu looked back at the woman lying on the ground, thought for a moment, and said, “Give it to the government together.”

“Yes, young master.”

I hope that after experiencing life and death, she can think more openly.

Fang Xiu sighed and took a step in the direction of Zuihua Pavilion.

When the onlookers saw this, they all took a step back, but had no intention of spreading out.

In the crowd, a six or seven-year-old girl shouted in a childish voice: “You can’t leave!”

“Yes, you can’t leave! You bully a decent woman in the street and allow your subordinates to hurt others. We have to wait here for official duties!”

A commoner The scholar looked filled with indignation.

Someone took the lead, and the crowd of onlookers gradually became bolder and gathered together to block the exit direction.

“Ahem…”

A violent cough sounded again.

I saw the source of this series of events…the woman who jumped into the lake slowly stood up from the ground.

Without saying a word, he walked in the direction of the boat in a daze, like a puppet that had lost its soul.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

It wasn’t until the woman walked away that several guards from the Fang Mansion drew out their knives and began to disperse the crowd.

“Everyone is gone, why are you still gathering here?”

“If you don’t go away, grab them all and beat them up, go away!”

“…”

Even the person involved was not held accountable, and they, a group of spectators, would not mind their own business.

What’s more, that man is a famous young master in Kyoto, who wants to get into trouble with him.

They all dispersed and went back to their homes to find their mothers.

What a pity for the girl who stood up for the drowned woman, but no one thought of her in the end.

Fang Xiu shook his head and walked towards Zuihua Pavilion.

The rest of the matter will naturally be handled by the guards and Bai Xiaochun.

By the way, where did that guy Bai Xiaochun go?

Fang Xiu paused and felt a thump in his heart.

It’s over!

………

The entrance of Zuihua Pavilion.

A richly dressed young man was comforting a fat man dressed as a servant beside him, with tenderness in his eyes.

The little fat man sobbed from time to time, looking extremely aggrieved.

This strange sight naturally attracted passers-by to stop and watch.

But as soon as many people stopped and watched the excitement, they were driven away by the burly Fangfu guards.

Although everyone was curious, they did not want to take the risk of being beaten. They muttered a few words at most and dispersed one after another.

The gentle-faced young master is naturally Fang Xiu, and the fat boy is his loyal henchman Bai Xiaochun.

Bai Xiaochun was the first person to jump into the lake with Fang Xiu, and he was also the only one who couldn’t swim.

He drank water in the lake until he was full. He was so choked that he couldn’t even cry out for help. No one thought of him.

It wasn’t until he was almost drowned that he was fished out by Fang Mansion’s guards.

It made him speechless and choked with grievance just thinking about it…

Fang Xiu also knew that he was sorry for him, so he comforted him with kind words along the way.

As a result, this guy got even worse. At first he was just aggrieved, but now he was actually crying with tears streaming down his face.

Those who didn’t know thought someone had done something to him.

When Fang Xiu thought of this, he got excited and cursed, “What else do you want?”

Who could have imagined that as soon as he said these words, Bai Xiaochun actually started crying.

“When Xiao Chun was in trouble, only the young master cared about Xiao Chun. Xiao Chun… Xiao Chun was so grateful that she burst into tears!”

Grass!

Fang Xiu was too lazy to pay attention to him and walked into Zuihua Pavilion alone.

As soon as he appeared, a young man in green clothes came up to him.

“Master Fang, Mr. Wu Xiaohou has already booked the Accord and is waiting for you…”

The young man in Tsing Yi bowed respectfully and led Fang Xiu upstairs: “Follow me.”

Behind him, Bai Xiaochun quickly followed. : “Master, wait for me…”

………

Fang Xiu entered the Accord, only to find that everyone was already there, and he was the only one missing.

“Why are you here, Prince Consort? Sit down quickly. Today is your special day. You must have a few more drinks!”

The speaker was Wu Yi, the eldest son of the Hou family in Anqing.

Fang Xiu glanced at him angrily and cursed: “I’m so happy. Your Majesty hasn’t issued an edict yet, so rumors don’t count!”

“Can the news from the palace be false?”

Wu Yi smiled, He continued: “Now among our group, you are the first one to become an official in the court. How can you be justified if you don’t drink more?”

“Hahaha, if Wu Yi didn’t say it, we would all forget it. If Fang Xiu becomes the Prince Consort, , it is indeed considered to be an official in the court.”

There were three people sitting next to them, and they all laughed when they heard Wu Yi’s words.

These three people are also famous nobles in Kyoto.

There is a party and government above the court, and naturally these dandies below also have their own circles.

Although there are only five people in the circle, they are all best friends among best friends, the kind who grew up playing together.

Their respective families also supported each other in the court, and both prospered and suffered losses.

It is true that a few people have the mentality of watching a joke, and it is also true to congratulate or sympathize.

Therefore, no outsiders were invited to this banquet.

When Fang Xiu heard the last sentence, thinking about his gloomy future life, he suddenly became discouraged and stopped talking.

Just kept drinking.

Seeing him like this, several people couldn’t bear to provoke him any more, so they all started drinking.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone was a little tipsy.

Wu Yi took advantage of the wine and asked: “Fang Xiu, do you know that there are so many noble children in the capital, why did His Majesty choose you?”

For Fang Xiu, a modern person, the wine in Chu State has almost no alcohol content. After a few drinks, I was still very sober.

Hearing Wu Yi ask this, he was startled for a moment and asked: “Why?”

“Because you are too, hiccup…”

Wu Yi burped, and another person took over: “Because you are too quiet!”

Too noisy?

Fang Xiu thought for a while and suddenly realized.

yes!

This group of dandies in Beijing are very noisy. One day they are robbing a peasant girl, the next they are destroying a shop.

If it weren’t for the rich foundation of the family, it would have been completely ruined long ago.

If he becomes the prince-in-law, what’s the point?

Only he…

On weekdays, apart from visiting brothels and drinking, he doesn’t look like a playboy.

If the emperor doesn’t recruit him as his consort, who else can he recruit? ?

Fang Xiu’s eyes gradually brightened.

If you put it this way…

if you squander your family fortune like other dandies, can you change the emperor’s mind and let him marry the princess to someone else?

After all, the emperor has not issued the decree yet, and there is still room for redemption!

As long as you don’t become a prince-in-law.

With a loving wife, beautiful family, children and grandchildren around her knees, she will live a romantic and happy life.

For the young master of the Anping Prefecture, it is not easy!

Thinking of this, Fang Xiu excitedly slapped the table and stood up, with an excited look on his face, and shouted: “You are right! Starting today, I am going to lose my fortune!”
