[End of the God Station] Remind book friends to keep in mind: Website URL: www.xinwanben.com Remember it in a second, never lose it!

Xu Jing wants to be a teacher, on the one hand, he and Tang Yinnai are best friends, if the two can become brothers of the same school, that would be a great thing. On the other hand, it is also because he admires Fang Jifan as a person. Of course... It's the admiration for Fang Jifan's uniqueness, not the kind of vulgar language.

But why did he not expect that Fang Jifan refused to take him as his apprentice in the end.

Looking at Xu Jing's extremely disappointed face, Tang Yin finally couldn't help but said: "Brother Xu, why did you give up? In fact, my mentor is a soft-hearted person. As long as Brother Xu persists, my mentor will definitely agree."

Xu Jing couldn't help smiling bitterly, and the candlelight shining on his face made him look even more lonely: "Why do I want to give up, but... there's no way out, my benefactor despises me so much, if I still beg for nothing, how can I do it?" Didn't he become the laughing stock of the world?"

In the final analysis, it was his family background and the arrogance in his bones that made the trouble. He wanted to save face, and he was used to pretending to be forceful. Now he can't bear being slapped in the face every day.

Tang Yin persuaded: "Actually, it's not impossible."

"Huh?" Xu Jing was taken aback for a moment, as if he saw hope all of a sudden.

Tang Yindao: "I heard a few senior brothers from Ouyang Zhi talk about it. My mentor used to rely on this to obediently make the people in the house submit. Since he can use this to force the people of the Fang family, then the mentor is a soft-hearted person after all. Perhaps Brother Xu can also give it a try. It’s just that this matter requires the cooperation of the three senior brothers Ouyang Zhi, but the three senior brothers Ouyang Zhi seem to have some prejudices against Brother Yu..."

Tang Yin is a very talented person, but in terms of being a human being, he seems to be a little weaker.

What's more, the mentor is obviously very interested in Tang Yin's paintings, and he praises him every now and then. Tang Yin is very motivated. Now in his room, there are many unfinished paintings, while the three of Ouyang Zhi are scolded more. More or less, the heart will be sour, this is human nature.

But Xu Jing smiled, he knew Tang Yin a little bit, so he understood Tang Yin's meaning.

However, this kind of dealing with and making friends is what Xu Jing and other aristocratic children are best at: "This is easy. The most important thing in making friends is to be honest. I think the three of Ouyang Zhi are of the same age, and they are also honest and responsible people. It's easy to get acquainted."

The lamps and shadows flickered here, Tang and Xu stayed up half the night, planning something in a low voice.

The next day, Fang Jifan ordered Deng Jian to go to Zhan Shifu to ask for leave, saying that he was ill.

This is what he learned from Zhu Houzhao. In fact, in history, Zhu Houzhao often loved "being sick". There are many related records in Ming Shilu. "I don't hesitate to go up, pass the decree and stop looking at the court", "I occasionally have a slight cough", "I have a severe throat infection", "abdominal pain", "I occasionally violate harmony", "I am sick due to qi", etc. and other words.

That is to say, when this guy was the prince and emperor, he took countless sick leaves, either for coughing or taking medicine, and he never stopped treatment.

But when it came time to inspect the army, sneak out of the palace and go to Datong to fight the Tatars, or patrol the south of the Yangtze River, he immediately acted like a god.

Whether he was really sick or pretending to be sick, Fang Jifan couldn't make any judgments when he was studying history, but Fang Jifan saw it with his own eyes if he pretended to be sick and didn't go to Yang Tinghe's place to study.

Growing watermelons is hard work, but Zhu Houzhao didn't dare to use his hands to others, for fear that those careless eunuchs would kill his "Champion Marquis" to death. Except for him to water and fertilize himself, Fang Jifan was only allowed to help.

But Fang Jifan only wants to make money, he doesn't want to farm, your uncle, this young master is a companion, not a little melon grower.

So... early in the morning, Fang Jifan lay on the couch and yelled twice, even if he caught the wind and cold by accident, and then sent Deng Jian to Zhan Shifu, saying that he was not in good health, probably because he had caught a cold, and depending on his health It depends on the situation, wait for the illness to recover, and then go later.

If you don't go today, it means that your illness will not be cured this day.

This kind of leave seems to be more sincere, at least it looks like this.

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

He happily asked Xiao Xiangxiang to loosen his bones in the mansion, cross his legs, and drink tea. Tang Yin sent him paintings for review, and Ouyang Zhi and the other three silently filled the stove at Fang Jifan's feet. The coal for the coal, the hot wine for the hot wine, the four disciples are very filial and considerate in taking care of them. Of course, compared with Xiao Xiangxiang, they are far behind.

Fang Jifan couldn't help feeling that he really wished he could lie down like this all the time, in his own opinion... he was about to fall.

At noon, after lunch, he took a nap and slept soundly. When he woke up, Fang Jifan realized that Xu Jing seemed to have disappeared.

This guy... did he run away?

No future, I wanted to sharpen your spirits, but I can't take it like this. Of course, Fang Jifan won't ask Tang Yin for questioning, and he can't show that he cares about that guy.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the doorman came and said: "My lord, someone is coming from the palace, someone is coming from the palace."

"Who is here?"

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

Fang Jifan glared at him; "Come in, please."

"It's very strange. People in the palace said that His Majesty has an oral order, and only the young master is allowed to listen to it, and everyone else should avoid it."

Fang Jifan was startled, His Majesty is very interesting, is there some important and secret matter that needs to be told to him? It seems that I am already in the Emperor's heart, and I have won His Majesty's trust.

So the screen retreated to the left and right, and the imperial envoy was invited to come in.

When I arrived in the hall, I saw an eunuch leading the way, followed by an old woman, and then... Princess Taikang.

The princess walked in small steps without looking sideways, supported by the old mother, she seemed to feel a little embarrassed, her face was a little blushing.

Fang Jifan was taken aback.

The eunuch said: "Fang Zongqi, Her Royal Highness is out of the palace for a follow-up visit today. The slaves and servants are following the order of the empress, protecting His Highness to Zhan Shifu, and waiting for the son to come. Who would have thought that Fang Zongqi was caught in the wind and cold?" , said that it would be later to go to Zhan Shifu to be on duty, so he waited and waited, but Fang Zongqi was nowhere to be seen. I am afraid that the empress will punish him, but if someone is sent to urge Fang Zongqi, not to mention that Fang Zongqi is not feeling well, even if Fang Zongqi comes and goes, it may not be too early, so this is presumptuous. According to the decree, I specially came to the door to seek medical treatment."

"..." Fang Jifan didn't believe that it was the eunuch's own initiative, and he came here pretending to order a doctor to seek medical treatment. He didn't have the guts, so he glanced at the princess and said in his heart, this princess is a bit decisive.

So he nodded and said: "It seems that if I don't come back for a consultation, the empress will definitely feel worried. This... is understandable, Your Highness, please sit down, and I will show you."

At that glance just now, Zhu Xiurong felt that Fang Jifan seemed to have pierced through something, she was a little shy in her heart, she still smiled slightly, and sat down obediently, while the old nun stood beside her.

Fang Jifan couldn't help being annoyed, and coughed: "Old lady, can you stand a little farther away, you are putting too much pressure on me like this."

The old nanny always had a straight face, without the slightest expression on her face, but she had no choice but to take a few steps back.

Only then did Fang Jifan step forward, and looked at Zhu Xiurong with a smile. Zhu Xiurong was already beautiful, although she was younger, but her eyebrows were smoky. Because of the cold, she wore a fox fur peony pattern shawl, and her slender hands subconsciously stretched out. Come out and ask Fang Jifan to feel his pulse.

Fang Jifan put his finger on her pulse pretendingly.

Zhu Xiurong looked calm about honor and disgrace, but her fast beating pulse betrayed her.

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

When the nanny behind her heard this, she suddenly became nervous.

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 just now was faked, but now this smile has a bit of sincerity from the bottom of his heart.

"Hmm...it's much more stable, it seems...it's nothing serious, just eat more meat." Fang Jifan quickly pulled his hand away without being too frivolous.

"Why?" The old mother couldn't help but asked worriedly, "What's the reason?"

Fang Jifan said: "The body is thinner, eat more meat, you can be stronger, like a prince."

"..." The old mama wanted to give herself a slap in the face, her mouth is so cheap, I knew I shouldn't answer his words.

Zhu Xiurong smiled sweetly, his fat-like facial skin stretched out, and said timidly: "I don't like meat."

"That's weird, they were all born by a mother, and the crown prince loves meat."

"..."

The old nanny coughed desperately, signaling to Zhu Xiurong that he must not continue talking to Fang Jifan.

Zhu Xiurong became cautious, gritted his teeth slightly, and said with a straight face: "I heard from Brother Huang that Fang Zongqi always likes to scare people. Fang Zongqi has saved my life in this palace, and I am grateful for it." Endless."

When she spoke, she tried her best to show the dignity that a princess should have, as if the two parties were meeting.

The little girl was born with this appearance, Fang Jifan sighed in his heart, beautiful is beautiful, and heart-beating is also exciting, but there are more stinks.

Zhu Xiurong continued: "It's just that I have a good word of advice, I don't know if Fang Zongqi is willing to listen."

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

Zhu Xiurong pondered for a moment: "Fang Zongqi must not be like Brother Huang who loves to mess around, and he must cherish the feathers..."

"Ahem...His Royal Highness, I have no feathers."

"..." Zhu Xiurong's beautiful face suddenly froze, took a deep breath, and then said with a smoky smile: "What I mean is that you should cherish your reputation and never be criticized by others. You must know that people's words are scary. Just like... I heard from Brother Huang that Fang Zongqi bet with others and forced scholars to worship Fang Zongqi as his teacher. He also said that Fang Zongqi took advantage of people's danger to humiliate scholars... This is... very inappropriate. Fang Zongqi should be a sincere Gentleman."
