Journey To the World of Film and Television

  Chapter 24 Is he (she) familiar?

   Being able to assassinate with great fanfare on Niulan Street, and even used a bed crossbow, it can be seen that the people behind the scenes have all hands and eyes.

   This side is in danger of life and death, but Fan's house is full of joy and peace.

"Ruoruo, try this piece of yellow-lipped fish. It was sent all the way from Nanhai Bay by Prince Jing's son. It is the only one in the whole of Kyoto." Mrs. Liu picked up a piece of fish and put it into Fan Ruoruo's bowl, and said in harmony. He whispered, "There are also bird's nests from Beihai and saffron from Xishan, which are very delicious for women."

  Fan Jian stroked his beard while looking at Fan Ruoruo. He opened his mouth several times but still closed it. Finally, he could only give Liu Shi a sideways look, signaling her to speak quickly.

  The Liu family should ignore it all, don't these elders know what foreshadowing is?

   "Aunt Liu, if you have anything to say, just say it, I can't finish eating so many dishes?" Fan Ruoruo looked at the hill protruding from the side of the bowl, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

   "Then what." Liu stood up and sat next to Fan Ruoruo, holding her hand enthusiastically, "Ruoruo is almost eighteen this year, right?"

  This hand gesture feels a bit wrong.

  Fan Ruoruo's heart skipped a beat, and he turned to look at his father. Fan Jian coughed lightly, avoided looking, and quickly picked up a chopsticks of sliced ​​meat and chewed it in his mouth.

   "Well, this autumn will be eighteen years old." Fan Ruoruo hesitated.

   "It's so fast, my aunt was at the same age when she married into Fan's residence, and you have grown into a big girl in a blink of an eye." Liu said with emotion.

  Fan Ruoruo didn't dare to talk to her, the bad premonition in her heart was getting stronger and stronger, and she couldn't leave the table early with her father by her side, so she could only pretend to be an ostrich and listen to Liu's memories of the past.

  Fan Jian grinned and spat out slices of ginger, and took a sip of soup.

  Mr. Liu continued to ask: "I heard that you went to the Prince Jing Palace Poetry Club with Fan Xian a few days ago. Did you enjoy yourself?"

  Fan Ruoruo chose her words carefully: "It's not bad to meet some familiar little sisters."

   "Is that so." Sitting a little closer, Mrs. Liu continued to ask, "Then what do you think of Prince Jing?"

   It came, and it really came.

  Fan Ruoruo rolled her eyes, and said slanderously, "I'm not familiar with him, and I haven't met him a few times. I heard that he likes to go to Liujinghe the most on weekdays. Mama Yang from Zuixianju also said that he is a frequent visitor there."

  Fan Jian frowned slightly. He already knew about Fan Ruoruo's visit to Zuixianju. Not only did he know, but he also knew exactly what she said, who she met, and what music she listened to.

  Of course, he himself has never been there.

  Fan Jian thought to himself, if it is true what Ruo Ruo said, then this person may not be a good match.

  Liu Shi was not discouraged, and said softly: "Then you play with the little sisters on weekdays, have you ever met someone you like among their brothers and friends?"

  Suddenly a vague figure flashed in his mind, Fan Ruoruo froze for a moment, shook his head quickly, and said anxiously: "No, no."

  Liu noticed Fan Ruoruo's hesitation, and knew that this girl must have someone who cared about her, even if she wasn't in love with her, she had developed a vague liking for her.

  Looking back at Fan Jian, Liu raised her eyebrows slightly, gave a playful look, then turned around and continued to ask, "What about the others? For example... your brother's friend?"

  Fan Ruoruo avoided answering, looked at his father begging for mercy, and said coquettishly, "Father~ My daughter is still young and doesn't want to marry, but she still wants to spend more time with her father..."

   Still young, not married, stay with parents.

  This is what Fan Ruoruo learned from his younger sisters to refuse three times in a row, and now it seems that the effect is not bad.

  Since his wife passed away, Fan Jian regarded his only daughter as the apple of his eye, and never said a single harsh word on weekdays. It can be said that if you hold it in the palm of your hand, you are afraid of falling, and if you hold it in your mouth, you are afraid of melting.

  Seeing Fan Ruoruo's resistance, Fan Jian felt helpless, and sighed, "Forget it, let's talk about it after your brother's marriage is over."

  Fan Xian will get married in September, and there is still some time to count. Fan Ruoruo is already very satisfied to be able to delay until today.

  Ms. Liu shook her head slightly beside her. She is a person who knows how to measure. She can see Fan Jian's love for Fan Ruoruo, so even if Fan Ruoruo doesn't get close to her very much, she won't think anything about it.

  ...

   Zhou Ji sent Fan Xian and Teng Zijing back home just in time for the luncheon.

  Hearing the concierge's rumor that Fan Xian was assassinated, Fan Jian's expression changed drastically, and he staggered and almost fell. Liu Shi and Fan Ruoruo rushed to help, and Fan Ruoruo asked anxiously, "How is my brother? Was he ever injured?"

  The concierge replied: "It looks like he's covered in blood, but he's still conscious."

   "No, I want to take a look!" Fan Jian broke free and the two were about to move forward. Liu Shi and Fan Ruoruo quickly followed and went to Fan Xian's place together.

As a concubine, Fan Xian lived in a slightly remote location. Before the three of them entered the yard, they saw a dozen servants coming in and out. Shi Huarong paled.

   "Father? Are you here?" Fan Xian walked out of the room leaning on a cane, saw Fan Jian at a glance, hurried up to meet him, and said in a deep voice, "The child is unfilial, let Father and Aunt Liu worry."

   "It's fine, it's fine." Liu looked at Fan Xian's whole body, and finally looked at the gauze-wrapped left foot. It seemed that there was nothing serious.

  Fan Jian's face was sinking like water, and he didn't speak all the way, but simply glanced at Liu Shi.

  Ms. Liu knew Xian, pulled Fan Ruoruo and said, "Your brother was assassinated by Teng Zijing and tried his best to protect him. He is seriously injured right now. We should go and visit him out of reason."

  Fan Ruoruo looked back at Fan Xian, and followed after seeing Fan Xian nodding.

   "Who did the assassination, have you speculated?" Fan Xian couldn't help but feel warm when he heard Fan Jian's flat tone conceal the mountain roar and tsunami, the murderous intent.

  Recalling the details and doubts of the assassination process with lingering fear.

  …

To be honest, the Liu family, who came from a wealthy family, actually didn't care about the life and death of the guards. It was their duty to protect the lord loyally. Even if Fan Xian regarded Teng Zijing as a friend and brother, in her...or in the eyes of all the nobles It is a means of winning people's hearts.

  Ordering the accountant to prepare more money, food and land as compensation, Liu's attention was focused on Zhou Ji.

  Although Fan Xian was eccentric in the past, he also knew how to behave. For a long time, he was the only friend brought into Fan's residence and introduced to Fan Jian, and he even stayed overnight.

  At that time, Fan Xian had just returned to the capital, and Liu Shi didn't know him very well, so he didn't pay much attention to Zhou Ji.

  Eighth-rank masters can kill, and martial arts are no less than ninth-rank.

  It is a good thing for Fan Xian to have such a friend, not only for him, but also for the entire Fan family.

   "Thank you for saving my brother." For some reason, Fan Ruoruo's cheeks felt a little hot, and she, who was supposed to act like a lady in front of Mrs. Liu, subconsciously spoke out in a private tone.

   Sensing the change in Fan Ruoruo's tone, Liu Shi glanced curiously at Zhou Ji and then at Fan Ruoruo.

  The two of them... know each other very well?

  ………
