The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 206

[Chapter 206: Sharp-tongued]

Sharp-tongued Fang Xiu looked at Xia Yixue behind him and said, “I want to bring someone in, is that okay?”

The servant followed his gaze and glanced at Xia Yixue. When he saw that it was a woman, he gave a slight smile. Startled.

He thought to himself: He didn’t bring so many tough guards, but he wanted to bring a woman.

That’s fine. A woman’s threat to the master is always less than those strong men who look fierce.

The servant nodded and said, “Yes, but I can only take her alone.”

Fang Xiu smiled, glanced at Xia Yixue, and said, “She alone is enough.”

This girl is so strong, but he is Saw it with my own eyes.

Even Bai Xiaochun told himself that if he really started a fight with Xia Yixue, he might not be able to last three rounds.

Therefore, when facing Xia Yixue, Fang Xiu always felt a little uncomfortable, fearing that she would suddenly lose control and do something to him.

In that case, no matter how many guards you have around you, it won’t be of much use, as you will still be beaten down.

Fang Xiu has never met the Minister of Rites, but these ministers, cabinet ministers…

all have one thing in common, they are cunning and cunning, and they like to rely on their elders to show off.

At that time, if the negotiation fails or something unexpected happens, only with Xia Yixue by his side will he feel more at ease.

Xia Yixue heard Fang Xiu’s words and glanced at him. She didn’t say anything more and just walked behind him silently.

This move was very useful to Fang Xiu.

I have known Xia Yixue for such a long time, and this was the first time I saw her actively standing behind him.

Just as the two were about to step into the door of Shangshu Mansion, the servant stretched out his hand to stop them.

“Sorry, outsiders are not allowed to bring any weapons into the Shangshu Mansion,”

the servant said, focusing on Xia Yixue’s sword.

When Xia Yixue heard this, a cold look flashed in her eyes, but she still untied her sword and handed it to a young catcher behind her.

When the servant saw this scene, he nodded and said: “You two, please follow me.”

The Shangshu Mansion is also very large, no less than the noble houses. The roads inside are crisscrossed and complicated. If there is no one to guide you, It is difficult to find where the main hall is.

However, to Fang Xiu and Xia Yixue’s surprise, the servant did not lead them to the main hall, but turned left and right and entered a quiet courtyard.

There is a Taishi chair in the courtyard, and an old man with white hair is sitting on the Taishi chair.

The old man was holding an ancient book in his hand, and he could vaguely see the word “Historical Records” written on it, and he was looking at it carefully.

The servant led Fang Xiu and Xia Yixue into the courtyard, bowed respectfully to the old man, and said, “Master, they are here.”

When the old man heard someone speaking, he raised his eyes and glanced at the servant, and then turned his gaze to Fang Xiu. Xiu and Xia Yixue’s bodies, especially when they swept over Fang Xiu, stayed on his body for a few seconds longer.

Then he waved his hand and said, “Go down.”

“Yes, sir.”

The servant bowed respectfully, then turned and left the courtyard.

Suddenly, there were four people left in the quiet courtyard.

Fang Xiu, Xia Yixue, the old man and the guards behind the old man.

I don’t know why, but it always makes people feel that the atmosphere is a bit weird.

Fang Xiu looked at the old man and said first: “Junior Fang Xiu, I have met Lord Shangshu.”

Xia Yixue just stood behind Fang Xiu and said nothing.

The old man raised his eyes and glanced at Fang Xiu. As if he had not seen him, he picked up the ancient book in his hand again and continued to read.

When Fang Xiu saw this scene, he felt unhappy.

You old guy said you wanted to talk, but you came here and pretended not to see him. What does that mean?

Fang Xiu looked at the old man, confused, and suddenly laughed.

He turned his eyes to Xia Yixue, shook his head, and said, “I thought this old guy was Lord Shangshu, but I didn’t expect that he was deaf.

” No answer.

When the old man heard this, a look of anger appeared on his face.

He raised his eyes, looked at Fang Xiu, and said coldly: “Are you Fang Xiu?

Others say that this person has nothing but a sharp tongue that is good at telling stories.

Now it seems that it is indeed true.”

Fang Xiu looked at The old man ignored him and just said to himself: “I thought he was deaf. Can’t he hear?”

The old man’s face became even more angry.

Since joining the Ministry of Ceremonies, no one in the entire capital has dared to talk to him like this.

Not to mention a little Zhonglang General, he was the general of the Habayashi Guards, and he was treated with respect when he saw him.

This guy’s courage is too much!

“”

The old man opened his mouth, obviously wanting to say something else.

But before he could speak, he was interrupted by Fang Xiu: “Old guy, just say what you want to say, don’t beat around the bush, at such an old age, you look like a shrew scolding the streets, are you ashamed?

If I were you, I would kill you head-on. “

On the wall.”

“You!”

When the old man heard this, he was furious. He stood up from the Taishi chair with a roar, stretched out a hand and pointed at Fang Xiu. His body couldn’t help shaking. It was obvious that his anger had reached the extreme. .

Fang Xiu, however, had a nonchalant expression on his face and said calmly: “You can only say ‘you’?

Old guy, if I remember correctly, it was you who said you wanted to talk to me about something, right?

Why ?

When we met, I couldn’t say anything except curses and “you”.

Fortunately, you are still the Minister of Rites and a dignified official. It’s really embarrassing to say

“You”,

the old man’s face turned red and he felt a little embarrassed.

My breath was stuck in my chest, I couldn’t swallow, I couldn’t spit it out, it was terribly uncomfortable.

When Fang Xiu saw this scene, he smiled with interest and said, “I told you not to be so angry.

This is in your house. If you are so angry, you can’t rely on others.”

“Huh!”

The old man said with a pair of eyes .

His eyes seemed to be bursting with fire. He looked at Fang Xiu and took several deep breaths before forcing himself to calm down.

As a high-ranking member of the imperial court and Minister of Rites, he held a high and powerful position.

In the entire capital, except for the three princes and the three pavilion elders, no one in the capital was respectful and cautious when meeting him, and they were afraid of speaking too loudly.

Even Prince Ning and Prince Kang showed enough etiquette when they saw him.

I ignored Fang Xiu just now just to put on airs and cause him psychological pressure.

Let him know that he is facing a heavenly official.

But he didn’t expect that

this guy didn’t play his cards according to common sense at all, and he didn’t have even the slightest respect for himself.

He never thought that facing himself, the Minister of Rites, a small fifth-rank lieutenant general, he would dare to speak like this.

I just heard the guard next to me talk about this person’s experience and personality.

Suffering from a “brain disease” that he doesn’t know is true or false, he acts arrogantly and is extremely courageous. Except when facing His Majesty, he restrains himself.

No one else gave him any face, even Prince Ning and Prince Kang had suffered under him.
