Xu Jing wanted to become a disciple, on the one hand, because he and Tang Yin were close friends. It would be great if the two could become brothers of the same school. On the other hand, it was also because he admired Fang Jifan's character. Of course... he admired the unique things in Fang Jifan, rather than the vulgar words.

But why didn't I expect that Fang Jifan would refuse to ask him as his apprentice in the end.

Looking at Xu Jing's extremely disappointed face, Tang Yin finally couldn't help saying, "Why did Brother Xu give up? In fact, his mentor is a soft-hearted person. As long as Brother Xu insists, his mentor will definitely agree."

Xu Jing couldn't help but smile bitterly, and the candlelight shone on his face, making him even more lonely: "Do I want to give up? I just... I can't do it. My benefactor dislikes me so much. If I still beg for nothing, wouldn't it be the laughing stock of the world?"

After all, it was his family background and his arrogance in his bones, and he was tempted to show off and pretended to be slapped in the face every day.

Tang Yin advised: "Actually, there is no way."

"Hmm?" Xu Jing was stunned, as if he had seen hope all of a sudden.

Tang Yin said: "I heard from Ouyang Zhi and his senior brothers talk about something. My mentor once relied on this to let the people in the mansion submit. Since he could use this to force the Fang family, his mentor was a soft-hearted person after all. Maybe Brother Xu could also give it a try. However, this matter requires the cooperation of Ouyang Zhi and the three senior brothers. But these Ouyang Zhi and his three senior brothers seemed to have some prejudice against Yu Ge..."

Tang Yin is a very talented person, but he seems to be a little worse in life.

What's more, my mentor was obviously very interested in Tang Yin's paintings, and praised him every now and then. Tang Yin was very motivated. Now, there were many unfinished paintings in his room, while Ouyang Zhi and the other two were scolded more and more, and they felt a little sore in their hearts. This is human nature.

Xu Jing smiled. He knew Tang Yin and naturally understood what Tang Yin meant.

However, this kind of dealing with friends is the best thing for the children of aristocratic families like Xu Jing: "This is easy, and the most important thing about making friends is the balance. I think Ouyang Zhi and the three of them were honest and honest people in the same year. It would be easy to get familiar with each other."

The lights swayed here, Tang and Xu, who were not sleeping for a long time, were whispering something.

The next day, Fang Zhifan ordered Deng Jian to go to Zhan Shi's house to take leave, and he said he was sick.

This was learned from Zhu Houzhao. In fact, in history, Zhu Houzhao often likes to be ill. There are many related records in the Ming Dynasty. When Fang Jifan reads history, he often reads "medicine from the East Palace", "The emperor is not hesitant and has sent an order to stop looking at the court for a while", "I occasionally feel a little cough", "The emperor feels sick and the throat is very dangerous", "The abdomen is suddenly painful", "I am occasionally disharmonious", "I am sick due to qi", etc.

In other words, during his time as the prince and emperor, this guy took countless sick leave, either saying that he was coughing or that he was taking medicine and never stopped treatment.

But when he was about to patrol the army, sneak out of the palace and go to Datong to fight the Tatars, or go to Jiangnan, he suddenly became fierce, as if he had the help of a god.

Is he really sick or pretending to be sick? Fang Jifan was not good at making any comments when he was studying history. However, pretending to be sick and not going to Yang Tinghe to study there was a person who saw it with his own eyes.

Planting watermelons is a chore, but Zhu Houzhao didn't dare to deal with others, for fear that those eunuchs who were not careful would torture his "Champion Marquis" to death. Except for him who watered and fertilized himself, Fang Jifan was allowed to help.

But Fang Jifan just wants to make money, not farming. Your uncle is a companion to study, not a little expert in planting melons.

So... Early in the morning, Fang Jifan lay on the couch and screamed twice. Even if he was cold, he sent Deng Jian to Zhan Shi Mansion, saying that he was not in good health, and he was afraid he would get cold. It depends on his physical condition. When the disease is cured, he will go later.

If you don’t go today, it means that your illness has not been cured this day.

Such a leave seems to be much more sincere, at least it seems like this.

What's more, although it is almost the end of February, it is still cold and it is common to catch a cold.

He asked Xiao Xiangxiang to relax his bones, raise his legs and drink tea in the mansion. Tang Yin brought him a picture to him. Ouyang Zhi and the other two, without saying a word, added coal to the stove under Fang Jifan's feet, and the four disciples were very filial and caring for him. Of course, compared with Xiao Xiangxiang, they were far inferior.

Fang Jifan couldn't help but realize that he really hoped that it would be great to lie down like this. He seemed to be... depraved.

It was noon, after lunch, I took a nap, and I slept very well. When I woke up, Fang Jifan found that Xu Jing seemed to be missing.

Did this guy run away?

There is no future. I originally wanted to sharpen your spirit, but I couldn't stand it anymore. Of course, Fang Jifan would not ask Tang Yin for questions, so I couldn't seem to care about that guy.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the gate came and said, "Young Master, someone has come from the palace, someone has come from the palace."

"Who is coming?"

"No...I don't know."

Fang Jifan glared at him, "Please come in."

"It's strange that the people in the palace said that Your Majesty has an oral order, and only the young master will be allowed to listen, and everyone else will avoid it."

Fang Jifan's body was shocked. Your Majesty is very interesting. Could it be that there is something important and secret that needs to be told to do it yourself? It seems that he is already in the heart of the emperor and is deeply trusted by His Majesty.

So I stepped back and asked the imperial envoy to come in.

When I arrived in the hall, I saw an eunuch leading the way, followed by an old nanny, and then... it turned out to be Princess Taikang.

The princess walked in a row, staring straight, and was supported by the old nanny, as if she felt a little embarrassed, with a slight blush on her face.

Fang Jifan was stunned.

The eunuch said, "General Fang, today His Highness of the Princess went out of the palace for a follow-up visit. I was originally observing the order of the Empress to protect His Highness to the Zhan Shi Mansion and waiting for the grandfather to come to the Grandpa. Unexpectedly, General Fang Shi was in the cold and said that it would be late to go to the Zhan Shi Mansion on duty. So I waited around and waited, but there was no sign of General Fang Shi. I thought to myself, Your Highness of the Princess finally left the palace and returned without success, I was afraid that the Empress would punish him. But if someone was sent to urge General Fang Shi, not to mention that General Fang Shi was feeling uncomfortable, even if General Fang Shi came and went, it was afraid that it would be too early, so I took the liberty and sent a false order and came to the door for medical treatment."

"..." Fang Jifan didn't believe that it was the eunuch's own decision and came to pretend to be an order to seek medical treatment. He didn't have the courage, so he glanced at the princess and said in his heart that the princess was a bit decisive.

So he nodded and said, "It seems that if I don't follow up, I think the Empress will be uneasy. This... is understandable. Your Highness, please sit down and I will show you."

At that glance just now, Zhu Xiurong felt that Fang Jifan had penetrated something, and he felt a little shy. She still smiled slightly and sat down with a slight smile. The old lady stood beside her.

Fang Jifan couldn't help but be angry and coughed: "Old lady, can you stand farther? You put too much pressure on me like this."

The old lady always had a stern face, without any expression on her face, but she had no choice but to take a few steps back.

Fang Jifan then stepped forward and looked at Zhu Xiurong with a smile. Zhu Xiurong was beautiful. Although he was younger, his eyebrows and eyes were filled with smoke. Because of the cold, he was wearing a shawl with fox-haired and peony patterns. The slender jade hand subconsciously extended it out and asked Fang Jifan to take his pulse.

Fang Jifan pretended to put his finger on her pulse.

Zhu Xiurong looked calm with honor and disgrace, but her rapid pulse betrayed her.

Fang Jifan frowned and said, "Well, this pulse is a little fast."

The nanny behind him suddenly became nervous when he heard this.

Unexpectedly, Fang Jifan said to Zhu Xiurong: "Don't be nervous, I'm not a monster, I don't eat people."

Zhu Xiurong was slightly stunned at first, and then the smile on his face became stronger. Obviously, the reserved smile was just now, but now this smile was filled with a bit of sincerity.

"Well... it's much more stable. It seems... nothing serious. Eat more meat in normal times." Fang Jifan quickly pulled away, not too light-hearted.

"What?" the old lady couldn't help but ask worriedly: "What's the reason?"

Fang Jifan said: "If you are thinner, eat more meat and you can be stronger, just like the prince."

"..." The old lady wanted to slap herself. She was so mean. She knew she shouldn't have taken his words.

Zhu Xiurong smiled sweetly, her facial skin stretched out like cream, and said timidly: "I don't like to eat meat."

"That's strange. They are all born to one mother. The prince loves to eat meat."

“…”

The old lady coughed desperately, indicating that Zhu Xiurong must not continue to speak with Fang Jifan.

Zhu Xiurong seemed cautious, bit her teeth slightly, and said with a stern face: "I heard from the emperor that Mr. Fang always likes to scare people. Mr. Fang has a life-saving gratitude for me, and I am very grateful."

When she spoke, she tried her best to show the princess's rightful dignity, as if the two sides met.

The little girl looked like this. Fang Jifan sighed in his heart that being beautiful is beautiful, and being moved is also moving, but there are more bad habits.

Zhu Xiurong continued: "It's just that I have a good word to persuade you, but I don't know if President Fang is willing to listen."

Fang Jifan said in his heart, you are a princess, you are older, of course you have to listen: "Please give me advice."

Zhu Xiurong pondered for a moment: "Master Fang must not imitate the emperor's brother who loves nonsense, and should cherish the feathers..."

"Ahem... Your Highness, I have no feathers."
