129: Put on the green hat
Xu Fan saw these things very clearly. Only such a deterrent could prevent those outside from spying on their Xu family.
Besides, it can be regarded as showing his strength in front of Shao Tiantian, so that the Xu family can get more resources from the court.
After all, he still needs more wine.
He had no choice but to open wine shops in various provinces in Daqian in the name of Xu Mansion.
In this way, the true solution gourd can be nourished quickly. After all, there is not much time left for him.
All these require the support of the Daqian court.
Returning to Botaoting and by the stream, everyone looked at Xu Fan differently. Everyone's eyes were filled with excitement and some awe.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Zi'er raising her head and looking at the sky, Xu Fan said in amusement.
"No, no. Master, that one just now..." Zi'er didn't know how to describe it. This was the first time she saw that white light. It was so shocking.
No ordinary person in the mortal world has ever seen the legendary real dragon.
Today, I just saw a phantom of a silver dragon about ten feet in size. Even though it was a sword, it still shocked the hearts of the people in half the city.
Xu Fan took a sip of the wine, with a slight smile in his eyes, and gave Zi'er a quick thought, "Isn't the young master very powerful?"
"Yes, Master is awesome! It's just, it's just..."
Zi'er was a little excited at first, but then she showed a hint of worry. She knew that her young master was very powerful, but those people also looked very powerful.
I am very worried that if my young master is not careful, he will be hurt.
Xu Fan put away his smile and stretched out his hand to rub Zi'er's forehead, "Don't worry. Master, I am very powerful and others will not hurt me at all."
While talking, Xu Fan glanced at Bai Luohe by the stream and said jokingly, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Miss Bai. Your young master is not as weak as Miss Bai."
"Master!"
Zi'er quickly took a few steps back and straightened out the black hair on her forehead. The worry in her beautiful eyes faded a bit, but she was still a little worried in her heart.
Xu Fan also understood in his heart that Zi'er really cared about her, and it would be impossible to completely let go of him for a while.
"If you treat them like this, you won't worry that someone will secretly attack the people of the Xu family?" Bai Luohe came to the pavilion, picked up a brand new white porcelain wine glass on the stone table, and stretched it towards Xu Fan.
Xu Fan was very generous. He took the Zhenjie gourd and poured wine while saying, "The red-robed young eunuch of the inner court has just arrested the entire Lu family. At this time, no one will get into trouble. There are no stupid people in Jinling City. It is about the rise and fall of the family's honor and disgrace. Even if there are stupid people, those red-robed young eunuchs will not just make Shao Angel displeased at this time."
"Have you hugged me and stopped worrying?"
Bai Luoheyu held a white porcelain wine glass in her hand, turned sideways, lifted the white veil covering her face, and tasted it slowly.
There was a hint of curiosity in the eyes of the two oiran girls on the side. They also knew about fine wine. They had been exposed to various fine wines in Jinling City on the Qinhuai River Painted Boat.
Not only that, both of them have experienced the fine wines of Jiangnan Province and even the fine wines of Daqian.
However, the aroma of wine that they smelled with their straight noses at this time was something they had never encountered before. It had the fragrance of white pear blossoms, stuffed apricot blossoms, drunken peach blossoms, and green ant wine, but it was very mellow, not even the slightest bit different. A place of harmony.
The two oiran girls felt itchy in their hearts, but they did not dare to ask.
The strength Xu Fan showed just now really shocked them, and naturally they did not dare to speak casually in front of the master's young master.
Bai Luohe took the first sip, and his beautiful eyes suddenly lit up. The dimples on the side of his face were very beautiful. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes and he said, "Why, is the wine today different from yesterday? This is amazing.
.”
Bai Luohe could get a glass of fine wine produced by the Zhenjie Gourd from Xu Fan every day. As the Zhenjie Gourd continued to be repaired, the quality of the wine contained in it became more perfect, adding a lot of vitality to the world.
"Not bad, right? I didn't expect your little tongue to be able to taste it so quickly."
It was only today that Xu Fan discovered that the True Calabash Gourd had occurred.
After making some slight changes, the quality of the wine in the gourd improved again. He once again threw the true solution gourd back to the bronze horn ice mirror in the corner of the pavilion.
"This wine," Bai Luohe hesitated for a moment and then changed the subject, "When are you going to Guangling Mansion? I..."
As for the frivolity in Xu Fan's words, she pretended not to hear it.
Today, there are many more people in the Wave Courtyard, not only the two oiran maids, but also the sweeping maids and servants of the Wave Courtyard outside Lin Hai.
Worried that Xu Fan's secret would be exposed, Bai Luohe did not continue talking.
"Can I go together?" Bai Luohe asked with a normal expression.
After re-cultivating San Gong, his strength was not as good as before, but his curiosity about the secret land still defeated his reason. Bai Luohe had heard Xu Fan talk about the dangers of the secret land before, but he still wanted to take a look.
When the entrance to the secret place was closed, Xu Fan came out with Old Man Wen and Old Man Wang. Xu Fan concluded that there were still some people hidden among them, and now he didn't know whether they were dead or alive.
The vitality of heaven and earth is strong there, and it is a treasured place for monks to practice.
I just don’t know if there will be any abnormality in the white light curtain, and then the life or death of those monks who stay in the secret place will be uncertain.
After pondering for a moment, Xu Fan shook his head slightly and said, "I will not go to the secret place again. It will be very dangerous if you go in alone."
Hearing this, the look of expectation in Bai Luohe's beautiful eyes quickly disappeared. She knew that Xu Fan had his own plans and would never be in danger again for her sake.
While the two were chatting in the pavilion by the Botaoting stream, many cars and horses were already coming to the street in front of the main entrance of Xu Mansion.
At the door, a large number of richly dressed butlers came to see me with invitations from various prefectures.
Xu Wenshu and Xu Yuhui also saw the white light not far above Xu Mansion, and guessed that it was related to their brother Fan, but they did not expect such a big shock.
I learned from the concierge that all the dignitaries from Xuanwu Street had sent greeting cards and gifts.
The two of them looked at each other and saw a smile that was hard to hide in each other's eyes.
The Xu family is really going to take off, so they don't have to worry anymore.
...
Jinling City, the residence of the Zhen family.
In the main hall of the front yard, several young maids held tea cups and kept changing tea and cakes for the six old people of the Zhen family in the hall.
Sitting on top of everyone in the hall is a middle-aged man with a pale face, a wisp of green beard under his chin, and a few wisps of silver on the temples.
The man was wearing a purple satin robe, with a tall figure and a sad look on his thin face.
Looking at the elders in the hall, they didn't know how to speak.
He could only rub his forehead heavily with his fat fingers, leaving a few light red marks.
"What should we do now? Xu Fan really has a great monk? They renewed their engagement with our Zhen family a few days ago. I was prevaricating it at first, but..."
The elder Zhen who spoke, Zhen Xiuyun.
An old man who is over sixty years old is usually responsible for the foreign affairs of the mansion.
Since the Zhen family has always been in charge of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, they secretly monitor all parties in Jiangnan for Shenjing. Many people in the Zhen family have been able to observe people's emotions since they were young, otherwise it would be impossible to make the official position of the Weaving Bureau hereditary.
Although the ancestors of the Xu and Zhen families had some relationship, it has faded a lot.
Initially, many people in the Zhen family opposed Xu Fan and Zhen Baochai's engagement, but at that time, the old man of the Zhen family made the final decision.
No one in the Zhen family dared to disobey the old man's wishes.
But not long after, the old man passed away. Xu Fan was a promiscuous man at that time, and his reputation as a playboy was discovered by someone who wanted to know him from Guangling.
There were some voices in the Zhen family, hoping to dissolve the engagement between the Zhen family and the Xu family.
Nowadays, the head of the Zhen family can only turn a blind eye and accept the close relationship between his daughter and the prince of Nan'an Palace.
The Xu family is just a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River. If the Zhen family wants to go further, the best way is to climb a high branch.
The head of the Zhen family looked at the elders of the clan in the hall, and they were also the top two.
Who would have thought that the old man's intention was here, and many people regretted that they should not have ignored the relationship between Zhen Zhen Baochai and Li Ji, the eldest son of Nan'an Palace.
The old man thought it over carefully.
Many of them thought of the old man of the Zhen family, and understood why the old man ignored everyone's objections.
"What should we do about this matter?" The head of the Zhen family released his palms and rested his arms on the armrests of the chair. He looked at the rockery and waterfall in the distance in the courtyard outside the hall, feeling a little dazed.
"Master, why don't you come and explain yourself?" Zhen Xiujun tapped the crutch in her hand on the bluestone floor tiles.
Everyone in the hall looked at each other, unable to make up their mind.
On one side is the Prince of Nan'an, a frontier vassal king in charge of an army of 300,000 troops. Lingnan Road is very close to Jiangnan Road.
On one side is the Xu family, where a great monk is in charge and has a marriage contract with their Zhen family.
"Let me ask Baochai what she means first. She has grown up and has her own opinions."
The head of the Zhen family withdrew his eyes and looked at everyone in the main hall. If it hadn't been for the Hundred Flowers Banquet, he might have let his daughter break off her involvement with Li Ji, the eldest son of the Nan'an Palace.
Pity.
At the Baihua Banquet, her daughter and Li Ji went in and out of the Baihua Pavilion together, and Xu Fan bumped into her face.
As long as he is a man, who can endure his fiancée being so close to another man.z.br
The more I thought about it, the more troubled I became. The elders of the Zhen family also heard about what happened in the Xu family today, and forced him, the head of the family, to make an immediate choice to prevent the Zhen family and the Xu family from turning against each other.
They have already offended the imperial court of Shenjing and secretly befriended the vassal king. If they offend another great monk, then the Zhen family will really be in great trouble.
The flower building in the backyard of Zhen Mansion is a courtyard loft that covers a large area. Flowers are planted in various styles of jars outside the loft. Viewed from a distance, the entire loft looks like a sea of flowers.
In the pavilion on the third floor of the flower building, a girl in a light yellow skirt looked in the direction of the Xu Mansion, her eyebrows deeply knitted together and her mouth tightly closed.
There were two maids and maids standing behind them, their bodies trembling a little. They had just heard the news from the boy in the outer courtyard.
The direction they were looking at was the direction of the Xu Mansion, and the person who caused the whole city to tremble was Xu Fan.
Others don't know who Xu Fan is, but as their own lady's personal maid, how can they not know?
However, their young lady has already dated Nan'an Prince Li Ji...
The two of them did not dare to think about it for fear of being killed and silenced.
