Chapter 37 The Eve

In the quiet hall, the grandparents and grandchildren were speechless for a moment. In the yard, the flower tea purchased by people from Kyoto was piled up in a corner. The fragrance of tea in the bag slowly oozed out, comparing the fragrance of flowers in the yard. Between the flower trees, a few yellow pink butterflies danced up and down, and occasionally a few chicks were heard on the flower trees, which were very crisp.

"Go, when the young phoenix finally cried, you are already old and you always have to see the world." The old lady continued to smile and said, "It's just that you go to Kyoto alone, a child's house, I'm afraid you will suffer a lot of grievances. Can you bear it?"

Fan Xian knew what grandma was saying, and said sweetly: "My second aunt has been very good to me over the years and often sends some things over there. Grandma doesn't have to worry."

The old lady smiled and shook her head, knowing that this little guy who looked calm but in fact was not like this in his heart. He touched his head, was silent for a while, and suddenly sighed: "If...what happens in the future, I will bear it for my father and I."

"Yes." Fan Xian nodded with a smile.

"According to my true intentions, I don't want to let you go to Kyoto." The old lady said cautiously: "But... you still have to go to Kyoto, so I want to explain something to you."

"Xian'er listens to grandma's instructions."

"Do you still remember Butler Zhou four years ago?" The old lady looked at him with a smile.

Fan Xian's heart skipped a beat and did not dare to look straight into his grandmother's eyes. After a while, he smiled bitterly and said, "Of course I remember."

After this response, the grandparents and grandson pierced the paper. The old lady said seriously: "You are calm and smart, and you don't need to worry about anything. But that incident, you can see that your mind is still too pure."

Fan Xian sighed in his heart: "Isn't Chunliang a compliment?"

As if he guessed what he was thinking, the old lady narrowed her eyes and said coldly: "If you really want to go to Kyoto, you will follow my affairs."

"What's the matter?" Fan Xian guessed vaguely.

"Be cruel." The old lady seemed a little tired, leaned back and leaned on the chair of the Grand Master to calm her mind. "This world seems peaceful, but if you are not cruel enough, you will suffer any loss."

Fan Xian was silent. In fact, he was not a good man, but he had never had the chance to show his dark side in Danzhou. So after listening to the old lady's admonition, he understood in his heart that this was a good word.

The old lady half-closed her eyes and said, "Your mother was so smart back then, but she was so kind-hearted that she ended up..." She suddenly opened her eyes and stared at Fan Xian and said, "I would rather kill others yourself than let others kill themselves."

Fan Xian nodded vigorously.

...

...

"You go and clean up. Your father is urging you to be anxious. I'm afraid there's something going on in Kyoto." The old lady looked at the child in front of her who had spent fifteen years with her with her, "I don't go to Kyoto, I'm in Danzhou. If... I don't live well in Kyoto and someone wants to bully you, you can come back if you want to come back."

"Oh." Fan Xian responded, stood up and walked straight towards his bedroom without saying anything.

After entering the room, he sat on the bed silently, pulled up the quilt and wiped his face, wiping his hair up, and muttered to himself: "Damn, I almost cried. Grandma is really sensational."

———————————————————

Just as night was approaching, the lights in the room were light up. Fan Xian had no expression on his face and wrote a letter to his sister in Kyoto, telling her that the news was coming. After writing it, he realized that the Yima on the Earl's Mansion was not much faster than the carriage in the Earl's Mansion. Maybe she had arrived in Kyoto as soon as she received the letter, and it seemed that there was no need.

But Fan Xian is a person who saves his energy. Since he has written it, he will put it in the envelope. He was about to call Sisi to remember to send a letter tomorrow, but when he turned his head, he saw his eldest maid Sisi standing beside him thinking, looking at him in a daze.

"Si Si, what are you thinking?" He shook the envelope in front of the maid.

Sisi woke up and said embarrassedly: "It's nothing. Is this a letter to the lady? Then give it to me."

Fan Xian shrank his hand back and looked at her curiously: "What's wrong?"

After thinking about it, I finally plucked up the courage to ask, "Young Master, you are going to Kyoto, are you very happy?"

Fan Xian sat upright and looked at her with a smile: "Why did you suddenly ask this?"

"Young Master, I heard that the people in Kyoto are very bad." Sisi bit her lower lip, not knowing whether she should say it, "And... you don't have an identity after all, so you are afraid that it will be difficult to go to Kyoto Mansion in front of the second wife."

Fan Xian laughed and said, "It turns out that he is worried about me, so I just hide from her. Even if he can't make a fortune in Kyoto in the future, he can still open a clinic to support himself. Just stay in the Earl's Mansion... I, in fact, just want to go to Kyoto for a look."

Sisi said: "Young Master will not be mediocre all my life. After reading so many books, I will definitely pass the imperial examination next year. I will become a high-ranking official in the future and shine my ancestors."

Seeing her serious expression, Fan Xian smiled slightly and did not respond. He had no idea about Guangzong Yaozu. Deep in his heart, he really had no feelings for the cheap dad in Kyoto, which was too different from getting along with his grandmother.

"Why don't the young master want to take me to Kyoto?" This is where Sisi really feels so sad. She looked at Fan Xian pitifully, "The maids in Kyoto must have listened to the second wife. There is no reliable person around you, but what should I do?"

Fan Xian sighed. Sisi was two years older than him. She was probably allowed to go out long ago when she was in other people's house. It was just because she lived in two lifetimes, so she seemed much more mature and steady in the darkness, which made Sisi feel that she was very reliable.

He looked at Sisi's serious expression and said, "It is precisely because I don't know what Kyo looks like that I can't take you away."

Sisi actually understood this truth, but she thought that she would be separated from the young master in the future, but she was afraid that she would never meet again. She felt a little sad, so she quickly turned her face and cleaned up the things on the desk.

Fan Xian looked at her busy back and felt dim, but he knew that he could not say anything at all.

There may be a good scenery in Kyoto, with many interesting people or things, but there will be swords and guns in the open and crossbows in the dark. I am willing to take some small risks to experience these, because since I have a second life, there is no reason to stay alone in the small Danzhou city. But he is not sure that he can protect the people around him, so Sisi cannot follow him.
