Chapter 1,440 The first formal meeting with Fan Xian
Chapter 1442 The first official meeting with Fan Xian
Spending time with beautiful women, drinking wine and listening to music, the time naturally flies by.
Zhou Chen arrived at Zuixianju in the afternoon. In the blink of an eye, it was already evening and he was ready to leave.
"Sir, why don't you stay here for one night?"
Completely forgetting the embarrassment and shyness he felt after being taken advantage of by Zhou Chen, Si Lili started flirting again without knowing what he was capable of.
Zhou Chen said seriously: "As long as you are willing to spend this long night with me, I don't mind staying."
Si Lili spat. She was indeed the oiran, but the reason why she was the number one oiran was because she was still innocent. If someone succeeded to the oiran, her reputation would be greatly affected. At the very least, her reputation would be greatly affected.
It's hard to get popular among people.
She admitted that she had a strong liking for Zhou Chen, and she even saw that Sang Wen lived a very comfortable life after being taken into Zhou Chen's house, and she was not without envy in her heart.
But she is still awake. She is different from Sang Wen. Sang Wen is a person who can serve Zhou Chen wholeheartedly, but she still cares most about her younger brother. She only returned to Qing for her younger brother.
country, acting as a spy.
People who have concerns in their hearts often find it difficult to give up everything.
Zhou Chen laughed, turned around and left. Si Lili was indeed attractive, and he was indeed tempted, but this kind of thing still requires mutual consent in order to cooperate better.
Si Lili leaned against the concierge and watched Zhou Chen's leaving figure. This man really fascinated her. The longer they stayed together, the deeper she fell.
"Princess, Begonia Duoduo, Sang Wen, is really a man who attracts bees and butterflies..."
Although her mouth was sweet and angry, her eyes were as tender as water. After a long time, she sighed quietly and returned to the house.
After returning home, Sang Wen was still cleaning the house for him, apparently waiting for him.
Zhou Chen walked over and hugged her delicate body, and Sang Wen leaned against Zhou Chen naturally.
"Sir, you sit down while I get some water to clean you up."
Zhou Chen enjoyed Sang Wen's service. This was supposed to be a servant's job, but she liked to rush to do it. She would rush to do anything that served Zhou Chen.
In the eyes of people in modern society, women in feudal society can only be the vassals of men. This is an extremely sad thing, but they do not know that in this feudal society, almost 99% of women are willing to be men.
vassal, because for them, men are their heaven.
It can only be said that times are different, etiquette is different, thoughts are different, mentality is different...
At least for Sang Wen, she feels that serving Zhou Chen like this is the happiest and most reassuring thing. If you really let her go out to work and work hard in the public eye, she will feel uneasy and uneasy.
…………
There are many people who can't sleep at night in Kyoto, such as Fan Xian.
In order to investigate his assassination, he and Teng Zijing went out overnight to buy information from an intelligence shop, but were followed by Fan Ruoruo.
So the three of them came to the information shop together. The process of purchasing information was very smooth. Not only did they buy the information they wanted, but it was also very detailed. However, Fan Xian went back and took a look suspiciously. In the blink of an eye, there was no one in the shop.
.
Fan Xian was wary and didn't know whether to believe the intelligence he bought. Although the intelligence indicated that the prince wanted to kill him, he always felt that it was not that simple. Unfortunately, neither Teng Zijing nor Fan Ruoruo had any problems in this regard.
Nothing can help him.
After receiving the information, Fan Xian and the others did not return home immediately, but came to another place.
"This is the mansion that was destroyed by the palm of the Grand Master Zhenguo Gong?"
Fan Xian pointed at the dilapidated mansion enclosed in front of him, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Even if you just look at this yard from the outside, it is at least several thousand square meters, and it may even be more. Is this something that humans can destroy with one palm?
"It's unbelievable, but it's the fact. This place was destroyed by the palm of the king's hand. Many people saw it with their own eyes. It's unmistakable. After several months, no one dared to touch this place."
Teng Zijing was not surprised to see Fan Xian's look of shock. When he saw this mansion, he was just as shocked as Fan Xian. How could this be caused by human martial arts?
"That's why I told you today that in Kyoto, the Duke of Zhen Guo is the person who should not be provoked. Maybe you have some martial arts skills, but you can think about whether you can withstand the palm of Duke Zhen Guo.
Also, what Duke Zhen Guo is best at is not boxing or kicking, but using a sword."
Fan Ruoruo also showed shock on her face, recalling the young man she saw at noon today who was almost as handsome as her brother. Was he so violent?
Fan Xian swallowed his saliva. He was best at using a sword, but he could destroy a huge mansion with just one palm.
He had only heard that the Grand Master was the strongest master in the world, but he had no idea at all. He only thought that the Grand Master should be similar to him, except that he had more Qi, faster speed, and was stronger in all aspects.
But when he saw the scene in front of him, he felt that his world view had been subverted. This kind of martial arts was not martial arts at all. It was just like fantasy martial arts, okay.
"Teng Zijing, you are right. You can't afford to offend the Grand Master. You can't afford to offend him."
Fan Xian, who has modern memory, has no respect for the imperial power of ancient feudal society, but he is truly afraid of this great master who has power beyond ordinary warriors.
Today is his second day in Kyoto. He has no fear of the crown prince, the second prince and others, or even the inspection institute, but he is really afraid of facing the grand master.
'This Kyoto is too dangerous. I don't know where Uncle Wuzhu is. The teacher said that Uncle Wuzhu can be compared with the great master. I feel more at ease with Uncle Wuzhu by my side.'
The fact that Zhou Chen had dinner with the second prince at Yishiju today quickly spread to the ears and eyes of all the major forces. As the second prince's biggest opponent, the prince naturally also knew the news.
In response to this, the prince was furious in the palace. He was very dissatisfied with Zhou Chen. He also sent a message to the Zhenguo Palace, and even visited the house in person and gave gifts, but he still didn't see Zhou Chen, so he had given up long ago.
.
But, just today, Zhou Chen actually sat together with the second prince, which made him very uneasy.
Thinking that his aunt had met Zhou Chen, he decided to go to Guangxin Palace to visit his aunt and discuss it tomorrow.
Other forces are also waiting to see what happens. The dispute between the crown prince and the second prince is a well-known thing in Kyoto.
There are three great masters in the Qing Kingdom. Ye Liuyun is not in Kyoto, and the other one is in the palace. If Zhou Chen supports the second prince, even if he is the only one, he will be a huge threat to the prince, so many people are waiting to watch the show.
.
Emperor Qing naturally knew about this, so he crushed the arrow in his hand with a gloomy look in his eyes.
He didn't think Li Chengze could win over Zhou Chen. What he was unhappy about was that if Zhou Chen got close to Li Chengze, it would definitely make the relationship between the crown prince and the second prince even worse.
Judgment of others, he just felt that Zhou Chen had some conspiracy to approach the second prince, especially since he happened to meet Fan Xian today, so he had to think more.
He is confident that he can control the destiny of others. Even the great master Ye Liuyun was conquered and used by him.
But Zhou Chen is different. He has been collecting information about Zhou Chen, analyzing Zhou Chen's character, and trying to find ways to manipulate Zhou Chen.
??????55.??????
It's just that there is too little information about Zhou Chen. Apart from that attack, Zhou Chen rarely shows up, so it is impossible to analyze it in depth.
As for using the Ye family as a check and balance like Ye Liuyun did, it is even more undesirable.
What is the current situation of the Zhou family? Apart from Zhou Chen, there is only one aunt. However, Zhou Chen's aunt has a very bad relationship with Zhou Chen, so her use is really limited.
However, in the past two months, Zhou Chen had a brothel girl in his house, and he could use the brothel girl to manipulate Zhou Chen. Emperor Qing thought it was a joke.
Now the feeling that Zhou Chen gave Emperor Qing was that he was a genius and could not see any weaknesses. Even if he wanted to scheme, he would not be able to do it for the time being.
At this time, Zhou Chen suddenly got in touch with the second prince. Even though he knew it well, he still felt uncomfortable that he couldn't control the situation. He had supreme imperial power, and what he hated most was people he couldn't control.
Zhou Chen was the person Emperor Qing hated the most, even more so than Ku He and Si Gu Jian.
Another day passed, and Fan Xian shined in Kyoto with his song "Ascend the High" at the residence of Prince Jing, spreading his reputation as a talented man. This was also the first time that he became famous in Kyoto.
"The wind is strong, the sky is high, the ape is screaming in mourning, the clear sand and white birds are flying back......the wine glass is still turbid!"
In Zuixianju, the manager read out the seven-character poem that had just been handed to him in front of Zhou Chen.
"It seems that this illegitimate son of the Fan family from Danzhou is quite talented."
Si Lili twisted his body and sat next to Zhou Chen in a charming manner. His body was close to Zhou Chen and he didn't regard Zhou Chen as an outsider at all.
After hearing the song "Climbing High", Zhou Chen didn't know how to evaluate it.
Throughout the history of China for thousands of years, this poem "Climbing High" is indeed one of the best among the seven poems, but I have to admit that the artistic conception of this poem is really beyond the imagination of a teenager.
Coming from Fan Xian's mouth, it's a bit weird, but it's not a fault, because the quality is there and it's unprecedented, so it will naturally be remembered by Fan Xian.
He could also understand that Fan Xian, after all, it was his first time to 'travel', and he couldn't control his pretentiousness, and accidentally burst out.
"But Mr. Fan is quite interesting. He has just arrived in Beijing two days ago, and he has come to the Liujing River to look for flowers and flowers. Are you so impatient?"
Zhou Chen smiled. He naturally knew why Fan Xian came here, but it was only a matter of time. It is estimated that no modern man who has 'travelled' can resist the temptation of a brothel. Even if he doesn't do something, he will definitely
Will want to come and take a look.
"How many people who come to Kyoto will not come to the Liujing River?"
"That's true. I'm also quite curious about this Fan Xian. If it weren't for your enemy, I would really want to meet this Mr. Fan."
Zhou Chen picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. This is how Si Lili and Fan Xian got to know each other in the plot, and then a bad relationship began, but naturally such a thing will not happen again now.
Si Lili was originally a courtesan who only rose to prominence in the past year. She had never been a guest in the court. She was sought after by countless people and her fame spread far and wide.
The appearance of Zhou Chen made her reputation as an oiran become even louder, but because of Zhou Chen, fewer people dared to take advantage of her.
"If you want to see him, it's very simple. Just ask him to come over later."
Fan Xian walked into Zuixianju with Li Hongcheng, the crown prince of Prince Jing. Fan Xian, who had never seen a brothel before, was stunned by the luxury and tricks inside Zuixianju.
In all his years of living, he had never seen such a scene before. He was dumbfounded and excited at the same time.
Li Hongcheng introduced the situation of Zuixianju to Fan Xian. It was also the first time for Fan Xian to see a brothel in 'ancient times'. There were so many tricks, which made him knowledgeable.
While visiting Zuixianju, Fan Xian had also inquired about Guo Baokun's situation. Guo Baokun was indeed in Zuixianju. The purpose of his coming here today was to find Guo Baokun, and the visit to the brothel was just a side trip.
But when a person gets here, it is naturally impossible for him to do nothing. He has to prepare witnesses for himself.
So, after Li Hongcheng found a woman, he chose a girl with the nickname "Bingqing Yujie" Qin Shuixian.
Just when they were about to go back to their rooms, a maid suddenly came over.
"The slave family pays homage to His Royal Highness, Young Master Fan."
"Who are you?"
"The slave is Miss Si Lili's maid. Following the order of the Duke of Zhen, I would like to invite you two to board the boat for a chat."
"The Duke of Zhenguo?"
Li Hongcheng and Fan Xian were both shocked when they heard this. Needless to say, Li Hongcheng said that Fan Xian had also heard about Duke Zhen yesterday, so he was so shocked.
Without waiting for Fan Xian to speak, Li Hongcheng hurriedly replied: "Since you are invited by the Duke of Zhenguo, I should go over and pay my respects." After saying this, he also touched Fan Xian.
Fan Xian also realized that he was still very curious about the legendary Grand Master.
"I don't have any problem either."
"You two, please come with me."
Under the leadership of the maid, they quickly boarded Si Lili's flower boat, and then met Zhou Chen on the boat.
When Li Hongcheng saw Zhou Chen sitting there, he hurriedly saluted: "Li Hongcheng of Prince Jing's Mansion has met Duke Zhen Guo."
When Fan Xian saw Zhou Chen, he was a little stunned for a moment. He always felt that Zhou Chen's face was very familiar. He had a good memory. Fan Ruoruo had also told him before that Zhen Guogong had seen him at the gate of Fan Mansion in Danzhou.
He, so memories of the past quickly surfaced.
"It's you?"
He remembered that day when he was sitting at the door and a young man passed by his door. At that time, he thought he was looking for him and wanted to say hello, but who knew that the man walked around directly.
Zhou Chen looked at Fan Xian and said with a smile: "I have a good memory. You're welcome. Sit down."
Li Hongcheng and Fan Xian sat down with the maid waiting on them. Li Hongcheng asked Fan Xian in a low voice: "Do you know Lord Zhen Guo?"
"We met once, but I didn't know it at the time."
Fan Xian looked at Zhou Chen who was sitting there casually. He could not see any fluctuations in his energy. He felt like an ordinary person. Was he really a great master?
"I wonder why Duke Zhen Guo called us here?"
"It's nothing special. It's just that this Miss Si Lili wanted to meet Mr. Fan after listening to his poems. I really want to satisfy the beauty's wish. I happened to hear that you are in Zuixian.
I live here, that’s why I invite you to come over and talk.”
After Zhou Chen finished speaking, Si Lili stood up and saluted.
"It's the slave family that is being rude. Please don't blame His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Mr. Fan."
Li Hongcheng immediately waved his hand: "It's not rude, it's not rude. I have long wanted to meet Duke Zhen Guo, but I never had the chance. Today, I took advantage of Miss Lili. I can meet Duke Zhen Guo. I should thank Miss Lili."
"
He doesn't look down on women from brothels, but Si Lili is different. Based on her relationship with Zhou Chen, at least she needs to do her best on the surface.
Fan Xian also cupped his hands to show that he didn't care. He was also amazed at how beautiful Si Lili was, but his more attention was still on Zhou Chen.
