The devil is coming

Chapter 427 Beauty
"Are you wondering why I agreed to go to Fan Mansion?"
"It's a bit, because it doesn't seem to be in line with the Lord's usual style." A Ming said.
"Three things happened. The first time we met, Fan Zhengwen said he would help me rob the princess. The second time we met, he brought a counselor to help us plan. He helped us think of how to take action, when to take action, and how to retreat.
It can be said that we have similar sympathies, or we can say that we are colluding with each other. In short, from the moment I agreed to rob the Princess of Chu and go back, we and the Fan family have become allies.
Next, the Fan family will move, and San'er, Siniang, Jin Shuke, Ke Yandong, and the rest of us will also move step by step.
Whether it was to lurk in order to sneak into the royal villa, to reserve a fresh force on the way to retreat, or whether it was Princess Jie's noise and response from the outside that day, all categories and purposes required extremely detailed planning, and What the Fan family has to do is actually much more than us, and the risks they take are also much higher than us.
So, anyway, Siniang and the others are responsible for running the following things. As for me, what I can do is to join Fan Mansion. Firstly, it shows a relationship of mutual trust. Secondly, I am in Fan Mansion and the talents of Fan Mansion can Really reassuring.
Because the Fan family must stay in Xia Mong and the Chu State. They are not like us, who can just pat the horse on the butt and run away. "
Zheng Fan glanced at A Ming and continued:
"The second point is because Fan Zhengwen is a very good person, he is even better than the blind man, because the blind man's arrogance cannot be erased, but Fan Zhengwen can.
Therefore, if it was from Fan Zhengwen's perspective, according to his habits, he would not make such a reluctant invitation to me.
Therefore, I speculated that someone in the Fan family wanted to see me. I don't know who it was, but their status should be higher than that of Fan Zhengwen. "
"Lord, why didn't that person tell me directly?"
"Perhaps I can be seen or invisible to that person. There is someone in Fan's house who can treat me so casually. Do you think I should go see him?"
"What about the third one, my lord?"
"That's why I really want to see how the real wealthy families in this world live."
God behold,
Uncle Zheng is not talking nonsense.
But he really hasn't seen how the real rich people in this world live.
When I first woke up, I was in a small restaurant opened by my own demon kings. In fact, in the local area, I was considered to be well-off.
After that, I went to the Zhenbeihou Mansion. The Zhenbeihou Mansion is very big, but as long as I remember that the Zhenbeihou himself ate several roast ducks and then went to the Imperial Garden to roast lamb legs as soon as he entered Beijing, you will know that the Zhenbeihou Mansion is huge. It's expensive, but it's really not extravagant.
Zheng Fan had also been to the Imperial Palace of Yan State, but Emperor Yan's life was too simple. Zheng Fan once wondered why the princes still lived in the prince's residence, which was a collective dormitory.
Save money.
You know, if the government is opened a few years later, the court can save several years of money, food, and royal stipends.
Tian Family, Zheng Fan was lucky enough to go and see the luxury of the wealthy family, but unfortunately, that night, Uncle Zheng only had time to have a good meal among Jingnan Hou's personal guards, and he didn't even eat the meal. After just a few bites, I experienced a real "bloody romance" at the command of Jingnan Hou, and that night became a nightmare that haunted Uncle Zheng's heart.
Then when I went south to the Kingdom of Qian, I was busy fighting and had no time to savor it. Even when I entered the palace of the Qian Kingdom, there was a lot of noise in the palace because the Yan army was approaching the city. As an envoy, I was very panicked. Even in the Qian Emperor I ate a few snacks there, but I couldn't tell whether they were sweet or salty.
The Jin Kingdom's capital city was already in ruins. After the soldiers invaded the Jin Kingdom's palace, Zheng Fan only focused on searching for property. The "palace" of the Situ Yi brothers in Fengxin City was also a bandit den.
The truly luxurious atmosphere and the life of the upper class need to be savored slowly in a quiet and peaceful environment.
There are still more than ten days before the Chinese New Year, and another ten days before the Lantern Festival. Almost a month is enough for me to live a truly luxurious life in this world in Fan Mansion.
A Ming heard these three reasons and said:
"My subordinate feels that the third reason seems more convincing."
Zheng Fan nodded and said:
"Of course, because I added the first two to make up for the third one."
"..." A Ming.
A Ming looked at the wine bottle out of habit. It was empty. He collected the assassin's blood last time, but because the storage conditions were not good, he took out a wine bottle.
Stale blood is more difficult to swallow than stale pork.
However, A Ming suddenly felt that his master was right. The Eunuch Zhang next to Xiao Liuzi could store red wine in a wine cellar in a private residence outside the palace. So the Fan family must not be short of it, right?
The blood of ordinary people, no matter how fresh it is, is better than nothing, but high-quality red wine is the real enjoyment.
just,
A Ming pointed at He Chunlai and Chen Daole, who had also disguised themselves but could not get on the bullock cart but followed behind.
Road:
"Then why did the Lord take them with you?"
When Chen Daole and He Chunlai heard this, their faces were a little embarrassed.
A few days after they followed Fan Li into Xue Customs, and before they were familiar with the territory, they were sent into this team and entered Chu in a daze.
Then, after everyone else was assigned, the two of them were singled out and followed Uncle Hirano in disguise to the Fan Mansion.
Zheng Fan pointed at He Chunlai and Chen Daole.
Road:
"You must keep your mindless and unhappy people around and watch them."
A Ming said again:
"what about me?"
immediately,
A Ming immediately added:
"Lord, there is no need to answer this."
Zheng Fan smiled and did not answer.
The team entered Xiayong County.
There is a folk song that has been circulating in Xiayong County:
Mother Mengshan's family was short of food, so she came to Xiayong to beg for help.
The Mengshan Empress is a deity in the mythology and customs of the Mengshan realm. Begging for Fan is also called begging for food, which is enough to illustrate the grandeur of the Fan family in the lower realm.
In fact, more than [-]% of the shops in the entire Xiayong County are owned by the Fan family. More than [-]% of the farmers outside the city rent and farm the Fan family's fields. More than [-]% of the people in the entire Xiayong County have suffered from birth, old age, illness and death. , it is difficult for them to leave the Fan family’s property.
And this is actually a small microcosm of the Fan family's wealth. The real money-making industry is smuggling.
Fan Mansion is located in the east of Xiayong County. It covers a huge area. There is even an archway at the back door for transportation teams to enter and exit.
Since entering the house, Fan Zhengwen has not come over. He has to do what he wants to do and show his face. With big things coming soon, he needs to pay more attention to the details outside.
Zheng Fan and the other four people entered the back house under the leadership of a steward.
Along the way to the front house, the middle house, and the back house, Zheng Fan clearly noticed several groups of hidden guards. The defense of Fan Mansion could be described as extremely tight.
But outside of the strictness, as soon as you enter the house, you will immediately feel a completely different feeling.
The servants and maids walking inside, their clothes and the things they hold in their hands, the plants and trees inside, you can't actually see much obvious luxury, but the luxury seems to be broken into pieces and rubbed into the wind. It's like you're coming.
After entering the back house, the steward took Zheng Fan and the four of them into a small courtyard called "Qingfangzhai".
The small courtyard is not large in area, but it has a strong sense of layout. There are small bridges, flowing water, and pavilions. It is densely packed but not cramped at all. The most important thing is that the location of this small courtyard is very convenient.
From a military perspective, in this small courtyard, you can gain depth in all directions, which probably means that if someone comes to arrest you, you can escape in all directions.
"The feeling is indeed different." Zheng Fan walked to the pavilion and sighed.
In fact, the decoration of the Earl's Mansion is also very good, but how can I put it, Fan Mansion is a different style, and it almost takes that style to the extreme, giving people an unusual look and feel.
A Ming hit the nail on the head: "The main thing is that our Earl's Mansion has few people."
Zheng Fan nodded after hearing this.
Because Zheng Fan himself likes to be quiet, and secondly for safety reasons, there are very few servants in the Earl's Mansion. No matter how good the house is, if no one lives in it and it is not popular enough, it will not have that smell.
Of course, there is another extremely important reason. There are more inhumans than humans in the Hirano residence!
The steward led Zheng Fan and others in and then left. Immediately, a group of maids came in and served dishes and snacks.
They are all extremely exquisite food, just like the decoration here. Maybe Zheng Fan is not very accustomed to the cooking habits of this era. He still prefers Siniang's cooking, but if he can achieve the ultimate perfection in the ingredients, he can still It highlights the quality of the dishes.
But Zheng Fan was not very hungry. After eating a few snacks, he went into the house. There was a soup pool in the house. There was a tiger crouching in the soup pool. Zheng Fan tried to pull the ring. After a while, white smoke was rising. Water actually gushes out from the tiger's mouth.
"Tsk tsk tsk."
Uncle Zheng thought this design was really surprising.
Naturally, this cannot be a water heater, but like the soup house in "Spirited Away", there should be a special room in the Fan Mansion. There will be people inside who are always paying attention to the bids. If the sign is moved, they will go there. Pour hot water that has been burning into the mouth.
Just to take a bath for the people in the house, you have to raise a large group of people, which is comparable to hiring a whole team to raise a dog in later generations.
Zheng Fan took off his clothes and sat in.
There should be some medicinal materials added to the hot water, which makes it taste slightly fragrant.
A Ming walked in and saw Zheng Fan taking a bath. He smiled and said, "It looks quite high-end."
"Well, let's come down and have a bubble together?"
"No, Lord, I'm going to find the wine cellar."
Zheng Fan nodded, and after A Ming left, he continued to soak with his eyes closed for a while, and even took a nap in the soup pool.
After waking up, I crawled out and lay on the bed. I didn't know what the bedding was made of, but it was very comfortable, with the touch of a woman's smooth skin.
Uncle Zheng also subconsciously reached out and touched around to make sure that Fan Zhengwen was not stupid enough to arrange something for him to sleep with the girl before he fell asleep.
This sleep was so comfortable, so comfortable.
When I woke up, it was already early morning.
Zheng Fan himself felt a little strange. After all, he was not in the Earl's Mansion. Generally speaking, outside, because he did not have a complete sense of security, he could rarely sleep well.
After all, he is a "battle-hardened" person. Who can really be heartless and sleep like a dead pig every day?
It seems that there is some special ingredient in this room, or this bed, that can help you sleep.
Zheng Fan shook his head and smiled;
Don't underestimate the ancients. If the ancients wanted to be "extremely extravagant and extravagant," they really weren't any worse than later generations.
After waking up, Zheng Fan opened the window and heard the laughter of a group of women outside.
Because the window is covered by flowers, you can see the pavilion there, but you can't see the scene outside the window.
In that small pavilion, a group of young women were sitting together as if they were having a poetry party, reciting poems and composing poems, joking with each other, all dressed up exquisitely, looking fat and thin, beautiful and smart, each with their own characteristics and age. Not big. Judging by her hair style, she probably hasn't even left the cabinet yet.
This is probably the Twelve Hairpins of Fan Mansion that Fan Zhengwen mentioned before?
Don't tell me, it really has the flavor of "Dream of Red Mansions".
After all, they were flower buds that were nurtured in the aura of wealth from wealthy families. They were completely different from the folk women Zheng Fan saw in Yan and Jin.
And the fact that they are holding a poetry meeting here today should obviously be planned behind the scenes.
It was impossible that just after I moved into this courtyard, these beauties would gather in Qingfangzhai for a "love show".
At this time, Chen Daole pushed open the door and walked in, holding breakfast in his hand.
As usual, they are all extremely exquisite food.
Zheng Fan's stomach would definitely get tired of this kind of food after eating it for a long time, but when he first started enjoying it, it was absolutely delicious.
"Is there a poetry meeting outside?" Zheng Fan asked with a smile.
Chen Daole nodded and said, "They are the girls from the Fan Mansion. They live in different houses and live in relatives' homes."
"Have we talked?" Zheng Fan asked.
"Yes, they said a few words when they first came in."
"Why didn't you accompany me to the poetry meeting?" Zheng Fan reached out and picked up a piece of pastry and put it into his mouth, "You are also a talented person of the Chen family."
"In front of my uncle, I dare not show my talents in my humble position."
Chen Daole has read Zheng Fan's "Zheng Zi's Art of War".
Zheng Fan nodded without blushing at all and said, "Indeed."
Chen Daole also smiled.
"Uncle, there is something that I have always wanted to say, but I don't know..."
"Well, no rush, no rush. Will what you said affect our actions this time?"
"will not."
"Then don't rush to say it. We'll talk about it after we get back."
"But, uncle..."
"Let's go."
Zheng Fan was standing by the window, watching the Yingying Yanyan on the other side having a poetry party and eating breakfast. This was probably what was called... beautiful and delicious.
In fact, Uncle Zheng could have walked over, copied a few poems, and showed them off in front of the little girl.
I have always imagined it in my dreams,
But when it came to this moment, I felt that it was no longer necessary. It was just good to have a look, and there was no need to forcefully interfere and affect the atmosphere.
……
"Isn't it beautiful?" On the roof, A Ming asked He Chunlai, who was sitting next to him while drinking grape wine, who was also drinking old yellow rice wine in the morning.
"pretty."
He Chunlai answered very honestly.
The girls in the small pavilion are each more distinctive and more temperamental than the other.
In this era, when a man marries a wife, age is not so important. It is common for old and young couples to marry each other.
Although we are all adults, we don't think there is anything inappropriate or evil about marrying a girl who has not left the court now.
"But the Lord may not like it." A Ming said.
He who knows me is the devil.
"Why?" He Chunlai was a little puzzled. He was not stupid. He knew that today's Meichai Poetry Club was definitely not that simple. Maybe these Meichai themselves didn't know that they had been put on the shelves, but Fan Zhengwen's The meaning is obvious, I hope you will pick more of them.
It's okay to pick them one by one, and it's okay to give them away in pairs.
Fan Mansion was eager to connect with a few more lines besides the Sixth Prince's line, especially Uncle Hirano, who was obviously on the Sixth Prince's boat.
"This is not the Lord's taste."
"taste?"
"The Lord has a very high literary talent. If he is willing, he can go up and copy it now... No,
It’s to make some great lyrics.
But the Lord didn't, which proved that the Lord didn't like them. "
"Oh."
He Chunlai nodded.
A Ming took another sip of grape wine. There was a bottle next to him, which was full of ice cubes. The ice cubes were also divided into many flavors, which showed how exquisite the Fan family's life was.
"There are so many types of drinks. The Fan family is so rich."
"I heard that the wedding of the sixth prince of Yanjing was revealed, but..."
"That's different. The sixth prince's money is not his own, it's his life money."
"Oh, that sounds complicated."
"Well, huh?"
"what?"
"Look below, who is here? If Chen Daole is a bit discerning, he should be leaving now."
……
Chen Daole did go out after seeing her coming.
The visitor was wearing a white cloak and a red jacket, but they could not hide his beautiful figure.
As she walks, she looks bright and charming; her brows move in a graceful and graceful way.
This is a beauty who combines beauty, figure, and temperament, and the three match perfectly harmoniously.
In A Ming's opinion, this woman was the first existence he had seen in this world that could rival Siniang.
I can't say who is more beautiful, because Si Niang doesn't have the tenderness and sadness between her eyebrows. I can only say that there are two flowers in bloom, each with its own elegance.
the most important is,
This woman should have already been a married woman.
"Sister Liu, won't you come and compose poetry with us?"
"Yes, Sister Liu, come here, let's play hard together."
"Zhen'er has made a good poem. I'll read it to my sister later."
The lady known as Sister Liu smiled and said:
"Girls, please be stubborn on your own. I am here on my grandmother's orders to ask your husband for advice on my condition."
"Sister Liu, go quickly. Grandma's business is urgent."
"We'll play together again later."
The woman smiled slightly, motioned to a maid and a woman behind her to stand there and wait, then she opened the door and walked in.
Before going in, her eyes wandered slightly from Chen Daole who had just come out. After seeing Chen Daole lower his head slightly and take half a step back, she confirmed that this gentleman was not the real owner.
The woman walked in,
At this time,
Uncle Zheng, who had been standing at the window watching a group of little girls playing and eating, had sat back on his chair with a book in his hand.
Book, don't hold it upside down.
Simultaneously,
A red stone was placed on the ground by Uncle Zheng and stepped on it with his boots.
The woman walked in,
Seeing Zheng Fan,
Simultaneously,
Uncle Zheng also slowly raised his head and looked at her.
The woman immediately took two steps back in fright. She was not pretending.
A woman has a good life, but also a bad life. The good life is that she married into the Fan family early. The husband and wife were originally harmonious, but her husband died of illness soon after the marriage and she became a widow. Although she may be bitten by some people in the mansion, Fan's mother loves her. My sister-in-law loves me, the girls respect me, and I live a comfortable life.
A miserable life means that she is doomed to stay at the end of the bed for the rest of her life. At the same time, she also has a younger brother from her own family by her side. She can live a good life, but with her status, it is somewhat difficult to support her own younger brother. , after all, it is against the rules for a woman to get married and use the Fan family's money to supplement her mother's family, whether it is a private person or a powerful family.
And women’s fear,
It's really not pretending.
Ultimately,
When she was young, she lived in her natal family, and later married into the Fan family. She had always been a gentle, wealthy and pleasant place, where even a fallen leaf could cause melancholy;
Where have I ever seen a man like Zheng Fan?
Yes,
Uncle Hirano,
Snow Customs General,
After several years of experience, I have grown up step by step.
Uncle Zheng now really has that kind of aura of calm and self-respect.
This was the cry of thousands of troops and the piles of countless enemy corpses.
Although not as elegant as Tian Wujing when Zheng Fan first met Marquis Jingnan, they are really not that far apart.
The most important thing is that Marquis Jingnan was unintentional and natural, but Uncle Zheng also added some deliberateness to it.
The woman is a little scared,
Beito bit his lip.
Uncle Zheng restrained his urge to lick his lips.
In fact, this woman really has a kind of charm that can seduce people's hearts with every gesture, as if she was born with charm.
The Hakka family member is also good-looking, but she really doesn’t have the posture and expression of the woman in front of her.
When you see her, you will immediately have the idea of ​​a gentle grave in your mind, which can transform all kinds of strength.
You know, even A Ming, who was sitting on the roof, a vampire who was jokingly said by the demon kings to have no interest in women, recognized the beauty of this woman.
Uncle Zheng, it's normal to be a little tempted.
at last,
The woman stabilized her mind and smiled slightly at Zheng Fan.
But his voice was still a little trembling,
Road:
"Liu's family in the fourth room of Fan Mansion, Liu Ruqing, have met my uncle~"
Uncle Zheng moved his body subconsciously,
Road:
"What do you call me?"
"Uncle~~~"
"Hiss..." Zheng Fan.
The red stone under Zheng Fan's feet began to become restless, because he found that this woman was very threatening!
But Zheng Fan used his feet to forcefully press it down.
Simultaneously,
Pretending to be calm, he said:
"did not hear clearly."
Liu Ruqing believed it to be true, but under Zheng Fan's gaze, she still couldn't help but tremble slightly.
He shouted again:
"Uncle~~~~"
----
Will resume two updates starting tomorrow.
good night.
