The passerby who doesn't have a word in the book

Chapter 15 The Ordinary "Father"

Yan Yutang in Baoxiang Temple was struggling with herself, but Xie Fanghan on the way back was in a happy mood.

She is simply too witty!Reading so many novels is not for nothing, that Sun Zhong really has no good intentions.

The more Xie Fanghan thought about it, the more he felt that the decision he made yesterday was extremely correct. Although the clothes on his body were still wet, cold and uncomfortable, this did not affect Xie Fanghan's good mood. minor.

He sneaked into Baoxiang Temple secretly, so naturally he couldn't come out carelessly from the main entrance, and he was worried that Sun Zhong would do some other tricks, so she sneaked out under Yan Yutang's arrangement before dawn. The city was still very quiet, and even the always bustling Suzaku Avenue was rarely visited by people.

Xie Fanghan didn't go through the gate of Xie's mansion, and got off his horse directly at the side gate of the winter garden. Uncle Fu came out of the garden, looked at the drenched man, and ordered his attendants to prepare hot water without asking any questions.

When Xie Fanghan packed up and went out, he saw a very familiar "stranger" standing in the yard before he had time to check the weather conditions today.With his hands behind his back, the man leaned over to look at a cluster of flowers in the courtyard, and he didn't know what he was looking at. Hearing the sound of the door opening behind him, he got up and turned back unhurriedly.

"Hehe, it's so early." Seeing Xie Fanghan, the smile on the visitor's face was brighter than the flowers in the courtyard.

"Father." Xie Fanghan called out blankly, wondering why this homeless Buddha came back so early today.

As the second son of Taishi Xie, Xie Mingyuan can be regarded as "famous in Xijing". This ignorant playboy has been the topic of Xijing for many years, and the most talked about is his romantic affairs over the years. The guest of Zuixianglou's oiran will gossip with Dongliufang's luthier tomorrow... Xie Fanghan thought about it a few years ago, maybe a child came to her door that day and called her "Brother" ".

But after so many years, Xie Fanghan's idea has not become a reality. Although Xie Mingyuan has been "legendary" in Xijing, he has never brought outsiders back to the Winter Garden. In this regard, Xie Fanghan rarely feels that this person is reliable.

"Oh, I haven't seen you for a while, the little guy has grown taller again." Xie Mingyuan looked Xie Fanghan up and down with his charming peach eyes, and smiled more peachy, "It should be even taller in the coming year, not bad."

The maid in the courtyard blushed and lowered her head quietly. Xie Mingyuan was a famous "beautiful man" in Xijing in his early years, and his pair of peach blossom eyes filled all the women in Xijing. Although he is not confused now, his face has not changed much , looks no different from that jade-like young man, but he has a bit more adult charm than a young man, coupled with his rich background and outstanding temperament, it's no wonder that after all these years, people still jump into his pit.

Xie Fanghan didn't know how to answer this kind of awkward topic, so he just nodded expressionlessly in the end, looking quite indifferent, Xie Mingyuan was not annoyed, and turned his head and shouted for breakfast.

Xie Fanghan nodded to Uncle Fu, and the old man turned around to make arrangements.

Xie Mingyuan came back too suddenly, and he didn't say why. Xie Fang Hanshi was full of awkwardness. He wanted to ask, but he didn't know how to ask. Xie Mingyuan looked quite normal. Quite a few even praised Dongyuan's cook's skills.

I thought that after the meal was over, Xie Mingyuan should say something big, even if he said that he would bring her a little mother back, she would accept it, but Xie Mingyuan still didn't mean to speak, and followed her into the study Afterwards, she sat at the table of the Eight Immortals in the study, leisurely looking at the sea charts that Li Zhe gave her.

???

What on earth did this ancestor come back for!

"Father..." Xie Fanghan looked at the person opposite and called out these two words awkwardly.

Xie Mingyuan waved his hand, his peach blossom eyes glowed, and he interrupted Xie Fanghan's words very fast, "Wait a minute, I watched this wonderfully, what can I say after I finish this paragraph!"

Xie Fanghan: "..."

Is this person forty years old this year? ? ?

"Father" has already spoken, and Xie Fanghan can't just hit him up... No, and he can't bother him anymore, so he can only press the beginning of the conversation and start looking at the account book in a muffled voice.

But Xie Fanghan was quiet, and Xie Mingyuan started again.

"Come here, give me a cup of hot tea."

"The scallion pancakes diagonally opposite the gate of Dongyuan are good, buy some for me."

"The fermented glutinous rice dumpling from Hulufang on West Street has a new taste today, so give me a bowl of the same."

"There should be a store selling taro cakes on North Street. I want two packs. Remember to bring the dipping sauce."

……

Xie Fanghan: "..."

The attendant at the door: "..."

The servants in this winter garden are all Xie Fanghan's own people. Although Xie Mingyuan is the master's father, it doesn't mean that they want to listen to him. The servants looked at Xie Fanghan tactfully to ask for her opinion.

Seeing this, Xie Mingyuan stared at Xie Fanghan with his beautiful peach blossom eyes as soon as he put the book down, and Xie Fanghan's hairs were about to stand on seeing that little expression of crying or not.

Xie Fanghan waved his hand, and said very proudly: "Buy, buy all of them."

Some food doesn't cost a lot of money.

After getting a satisfactory answer, Xie Mingyuan instantly returned to his monstrous appearance as if his face had changed. Looking at Xie Fanghan's gaze, he said, "My son is so kind!"

Xie Fanghan: "..."

I love your grandma!

Fortunately, Xie Mingyuan is not at home all year round. If he is at home every day like this, Xie Fanghan promises that sooner or later she will give this cheap "father" a good beating!

Xie Fanghan began to look at the ledger.

Xie Mingyuan began to eat Jiuniangzi with a snort.

Xie Fanghan continued to look at the ledger.

Xie Mingyuan ate scallion pancakes.

Xie Fanghan was still reading the script.

Xie Mingyuan began to complain that the dipping sauce of this taro cake was not sweet enough

……

Xie Fanghan: I want to throw dad out and beat him up. I'm in a hurry, so I'll wait in the study.

The attendants by the door lowered their heads and trembled slightly. Like Xie Fanghan, they had never seen Xie Mingyuan, and they had never heard their master mention this "Master". Seeing them today was very fresh, even fresher. It was looking at the way his master and master got along.

Other families are full of old fathers who work hard to manage the family and raise unfilial sons who know how to eat, drink and play. The second wife of the Xie family is just reversed. The son Xie Fanghan makes money to support the family, and Xie Mingyuan, the unreliable father, eats, drinks and plays.

Xie Fanghan finally finished reading the ledger under Xie Mingyuan's "torture". The sun outside had already risen to the middle of the day, and half a day was about to pass. Xie Mingyuan still had no intention of leaving, and still stayed in her study to read it with relish. write a book.

This is too abnormal. Even if it is a family feast for the holidays, Xie Mingyuan can push it as soon as he can. His time added up to more.

Xie Fanghan closed the account book, thinking that he should have a good talk with this unreliable father.

"Father." Xie Fanghan said again.

Xie Mingyuan didn't find any excuses to interrupt Xie Fanghan this time, not only did he not interrupt, but he also took the initiative to speak seriously.

Xie Mingyuan: "Fang Han, the housekeeper in the Winter Garden looks very unfamiliar."

Xie Fanghan rolled his eyes in his heart, thinking that in this winter garden, whoever doesn't face the face is still answering the question honestly.

"Uncle Fu was rescued from bandits by me on the official road a few years ago. The old man had nowhere to go, and he was destined to be with me, so I brought him back." Xie Fanghan looked at Xie Mingyuan's expression while talking. No wonder she thought too much, it was abnormal for Xie Mingyuan to come back suddenly and stay for such a long time, and when he asked Uncle Fu again, she couldn't do it without thinking too much.

Xie Mingyuan didn't react much after hearing this, and continued to eat his fermented glutinous rice balls with an "Aww".

After making sure that Xie Mingyuan had nothing to say, Xie Fanghan spoke again.

"Father……"

"Master, the eldest lady has brought people to the Winter Garden."

Xie Fanghan: "..."

Today, she is destined to be called Dad to Xie Mingyuan, right?

Trying hard to suppress the anger that crept up in his heart, Xie Fanghan turned his attention to the attendant who came to report, and said with a rare impatience, "Who did you just say is here?"

"Back to the master, it's the eldest lady. She's walking this way with the second young master and the third young lady. It's probably only a few steps away." The attendant who came to report panted heavily, apparently running back.

Xie Fanghan subconsciously glanced at Xie Mingyuan, seeing that he didn't intend to get up at all, his eyes drooped slightly, and he took the initiative to get up and go to greet him.

She wants to see today, one or two, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd.

The wife of the Xie family, Mrs. Wang, was originally the daughter of a merchant in the south of the Yangtze River. After marrying Xie Mingtao, the family's business grew bigger and bigger. It was also mentioned in the original book that part of the reason why the Xie family dared to rebel was because of a A well-to-do family.

It is Wang himself, who is not mentioned much in the book.Even Xie Fanghan, who has been through for more than ten years, can count the number of exchanges with Wang's.

"Ma'am." Xie Fanghan stood at the door and saluted the leading lady.

"Fang Han's name is too outlandish. There are no outsiders here who can call you auntie." Wang's appearance is not a typical Jiangnan woman, with high forehead, narrow eyes, hanging eyebrows, and not short height. It really doesn't look like a Jiangnan woman's euphemism at all. Even when she laughs, it makes people feel very serious, but her voice is very gentle.

"Auntie." Xie Fanghan called again honestly, and greeted the two who were following her, "Second Brother, Third Sister."

Xie Fangcheng was not familiar with her, so he silently nodded his head in return.On the contrary, Xie Fangfei stared at her with dim eyes, sometimes resentful, sometimes blank.

Xie Fanghan:? ? ?

Resentment?

Xie Fanghan didn't have time to think about it. The Wang family was born in a merchant's family, and he could speak well with a smooth mouth. He simply asked a few words about Xie Fanghan's recent situation, and then went straight to the point.

Wang: "In a blink of an eye, Fang Han is also in his late teens this year. Although you haven't been close to me since childhood, my aunt really treats you as her own child."

Xie Fanghan knew what Wang's purpose was when she said the beginning. This kind of blind date was so typical at the beginning. When seeing Shi's "earnest" gaze, he nodded very cooperatively.

Although the phrase "seeing it as my own child" is a bit untrue, but Mrs. Wang has indeed not cut down on the food and clothing of the winter garden like other mistresses in recent years. For this alone, Xie Fanghan still has a good impression of Mrs. Wang.

Xie Fanghan's nod simply gave Wang the motivation to continue talking. The smile on Wang's face became stronger and her tone became more gentle, "A few days ago, my childhood best friend brought her daughter to Beijing to play. Come to see me in the mansion by the way, her daughter is gentle and sweet, and she speaks softly, I really feel pity for her..."

Xie Fanghan's slightly drooping eyes began to glow coldly. Does this lady think she is a fool? After all, she is also the grandson of the grand master of the court, so introduce a daughter of a merchant to her?Are you slapping Erfang in the face or Taishifu?

and……

Xie Fanghan listened to Wang's praising the daughter of her best friend's family, raised his head and looked at Wang with a half-smile, and interrupted unceremoniously, "According to what my aunt said, this girl's family is also a businessman."

Wang suddenly met Xie Fanghan's eyes, paused for a moment, then immediately looked away to calm down his emotions, and nodded in response, "Yes, they are also a well-known family in Jiangnan."

Xie Fanghan raised his eyebrows and smiled even more intensely, "Oh? Then if I marry her, will she marry to Xijing, or should I follow her to Jiangnan?"

Wang's face was embarrassed when she heard the words, Xie Fanghan's reaction was much faster than she thought, but after all, he is a person who has lived half his life, his reaction is not unpleasant, and his face is not thick-skinned, "The girl is the only daughter in the family, the son-in-law He must go to Jiangnan to inherit the family business."

"mother!"

Before Xie Fanghan had time to attack, Xie Fangfei, who was following her, reacted first. Xie Fangfei looked at her mother in disbelief, as if she had been greatly stimulated.

Wang turned her head slightly, glanced at her coldly, and without even opening her mouth, Xie Fangfei "shrunk" back.

Mrs. Wang turned her head and continued to put on the gentle smile from before, "You are the third son of the Grand Master's Mansion. No one dares to disrespect you when you go there. It is a wealthy family. In the days to come, you must be a rich man." Your Majesty, everything goes well."

Xie Fanghan listened to Wang's words that seemed to be for her sake but were actually full of threats. He almost wanted to applaud her. Without an aristocratic son who pursues, the life Wang described just now is simply a paradise.

Being able to be domineering and extravagant at the same time, what a day!

such a pity.

When things go wrong, there must be demons. There is no free lunch in the world. The better Wang promises, the more dangerous the inside story.

Xie Fanghan didn't even want to continue pretending, his face turned cold instantly, and just about to say "decline", Xie Mingyuan's lazy voice came from behind him.

"Since the sister-in-law praises your best friend's child as the only one in the sky, why doesn't she marry your second elder brother for being so outstanding?"

The moment Wang heard Xie Mingyuan's voice, the expression on her face that was comfortable and confident in winning all collapsed, and her hands folded in front of her were tightly clenched. When Xie Mingyuan walked out of the house, Wang's originally rosy face became even more In an instant, he became pale and colorless, as if he had seen a ghost.
