The Way of Favors

???? The Xue family sent Xue Rong’s Geng Tie over on the twelfth day. As usual, after three or four days, the Fu family should reply to the news, but Mrs. Xue looked forward to it day after day. Nothing happened.

Xue Rong was also surprised. When he came back this day, when he saw his mother, he asked if there was any response.

Mrs. Xue shook her head in wonder, thought for a while, and asked him: "In the palace these days, how is Fu Chen getting along with you?"

Fu Chen is only four years older than Xue Rong. He has already been promoted to the fourth rank commander with the contribution of saving the second princess that year, but Xue Rong is only the general banner of the seventh rank, although the Jin Wuwei he entered last year can earn his rank this year. , Has been rare, compared with Fu Chen, it is still a lot inferior.

Xue Rong immediately said, "It's almost the same as before. I didn't say hello to each other, but I was not too polite, but on the 20th, Fu Chen asked a few colleagues to hunt..."

"Did you please?" Mrs. Xue asked anxiously.

Xue Rong smiled and said, "Please."

Mrs. Xue breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, it seems we are too anxious."

Most people are favored by younger sons and daughters. There is only one of the three daughters of the Fu family. Of course, they will be more cautious when choosing son-in-law. As for Fu Chen’s attitude, it was Shangfeng who married his younger sister, and being too close to his son would make the Fu family anxious to marry his daughter. It’s normal to be cold. If he goes out hunting, he knows his name is Xue Rong. Kind of hint.

Xue Rong thought so too.

The relationship between the two did not progress, but Wu Baiqi was gloating.

He asked his cousin about the marriage process. After the contact, the first step was to combine the eight characters. After Mrs. Xue came back from Yongtai Temple, she went to Jingyanghoufu, and she must have sent Geng Tie there. Because of this, Jingyang Hou’s Mansion has been slow to combine the eight characters. Wu Baiqi guessed that Fu Xuan had probably believed his words. Although he didn't get rid of the Xue family right away, he decided to look more.

I was so happy that the people who stayed in the Hou Mansion stalking suddenly came back and told him that Fu Chen Xue Rong and a few guards were riding out of the city.

As if a basin of cold water poured down his head, Wu Baiqi's heart was cold.

Fu Chen saw him hitting him once, but he was willing to call Xue Rong to go hunting. Doesn't this obvious difference mean that Xue Rong has been spotted?

Wu Baiqi was not reconciled. Taking advantage of the old man's going out to meet friends, he also secretly chased him on horseback.

He had to find a way to make Fu Chen recognize Xue Rong's true face!

Forty miles away in the northern suburbs of the capital, there is Hutou Mountain. Those noble children often come here to hunt.

Fu Chen and others rode over, talking and laughing, but the speed slowed down, and Wu Bai got up behind him quickly, and he caught up with everyone at the foot of the mountain. The horse's hoof was anxious, and Fu Chen looked back curiously, and when he saw Wu Baiqi, he frowned, then suddenly smiled after thinking of something. Signaling the five or six strong guards behind him to wait in place, he urged the horse to meet him.

Everyone at the scene knew that Liang Zi between Wu Baiqi and Fu Chen showed a lively expression.

Xue Rong hadn't dealt with Wu Baiqi for a long time, and smiled faintly at this time. Looking at Wu Baiqi's eyes was like looking at a stranger, as if the two were not partners when they were young, and as if he had forgotten his childhood. Seeing that Fu Chen and Wu Baiqi were about to meet, Fu Chen suddenly raised his whip, and Xue Rong cheered in his heart.

But Fu Chen's whip failed to hit Wu Baiqi.

Wu Baiqi may not be able to beat people, and he has great anti-beating ability. He knew that Fu Chen didn't want to see him, and he had guarded him early. When he approached, he saw that Fu Chen raised his hand and he squeaked and jumped off his horse. Neat and clean.

Fu Chen didn’t expect Wu Bai to have a second time in equestrianism. He unexpectedly raised his eyebrows, strangled the horse, turned his head back, and looked at him condescendingly: "Last time I told you that you are not allowed to appear in front of me again. I see you today. Dare to come over, is it itchy skin again?"

Wu Baiqi looked at Xue Rong and the others over there, nodded and bowed, and moved to Fu Chenma flatly. Seeing that Fu Chen didn't hit him right away, Wu Baiqi quickly whispered: "Second Brother Fu, I am not here to trouble you, listen. I said, I know that Girl Six is ​​discussing marriage with Xue Rongzheng. Didn’t Girl Six tell you? Xue Rong is a tortoise with a shrunken head. He didn’t dare to admit that he was planted on my head when he made a mistake. How could he be worthy of Girl Six? !"

The smile at the corner of Fu Chen's mouth closed, and he stared at Wu Baiqi closely.

My sister came back from Yongtai Temple that day and told him that Xue Rong had framed a friend, did not say when it was, or who did Xue Rong framed, and even her sister refused to tell him where she heard the news. Fu Chen was suspicious, and asked his mother who he had met. Her mother denied. Fu Chen couldn't find out, so he stopped thinking and chose to trust his sister.

But now, he knows where his sister heard about it.

Fu Chen's hand holding the horse whip suddenly itchy. Wu Baiqi, this bastard, went to Yongtai Temple that day too, and secretly talked to his sister without his mother's knowledge?

It's a pity that there is business to do today, and he can't be cleaned up.

Clenching his hands, Fu Chen bowed his head and asked in a deep voice, "Is this serious?"

Wu Baiqi nodded his head again and again, and quickly said the holiday between him and Xue Rong.

Fu Chen weighed the whip in his hand. It seemed to Xue Rong and others that he was going to punish Wu Baiqi, but said: "If this is the case, I will definitely not marry my sister to him, but why should I believe your side? If you two have to believe one, I will believe him too."

Wu Bai got up to trouble. There was no evidence of the old things at that time, and there is no evidence now. Even if he went to confront Xue Rong, it must be the same as before. Once Xue Rong quibbleed, no one would believe him, and even laughed at his small belly and chicken intestines. Kind of ridicule people.

Unable to find evidence, Wu Baiqi could only scare Fu Chen: "Second Brother Fu, you don’t have to believe me, but think about it, if this is true, I didn’t lie, but because you hate me, I married a sixth girl. Honest guy, even if you find out that I haven't lied in the future, the sixth girl has been married by mistake, will you regret it?"

Fu Chen's whip was struck by lightning.

Wu Baiqi heaved a sigh of relief. As soon as he was about to speak, he heard Fu Chen say: "Your words do make sense. I also thought of ways to test other people's character. But this method requires the cooperation of people. Are you willing to redeem your merits?"

Atonement?

Wu Baiqi was overjoyed: "Should I take this seriously? If I help you test him, you don't blame me for the stupid things I did before?"

Fu Chen nodded, but before Wu Baiqi responded with a mouthful, he reminded: "Don't rush to agree." After speaking in a low voice, he said again: "Would you like to suffer this kind of skin and flesh pain?"

He had arranged a helper before, but it was more suitable for Wu Bai to do.

After Fu Chen forgave him, he was one step closer to marrying his wife. Wu Baiqi didn't dare to do anything, not to mention that Fu Chen had to suffer. If he wanted to marry Fu Xuan, he had to let Fu Chen know that he was also willing to suffer for Fu Xuan. Nodded without thinking.

"Well."

Fu Chen laughed again, and suddenly threw a whip at Wu Baiqi. Wu Baiqi was in pain and yelled. He was really aggrieved without acting, "What are you doing so cruelly?"

Fu Chen laughed loudly, and while urging the horse to walk back, he looked ahead and snorted coldly: "You have offended me so many times. It's cheaper for me to hit you with a whip. It's up to you to sincerely apologize. I promise you to follow Let's hunt together. If you can't stand the pain of a whip, then go home and stay!"

Wu Baiqi stood there for a while before turning on his horse and chasing him up. When he arrived, he bowed his hands to everyone with a smile on his face: "I heard Brother Fu say that you are all very skilled, please give me some advice later!"

They were both big men. Fu Chen and Wu Baiqi had no big feasts. Now that Fu Chen forgave Wu Baiqi, and Wu Baiqi was so hearty again, the guards responded happily.

Xue Rong saw that Wu Baiqi hadn't looked at him from beginning to end, as if still holding grudges, he smiled, ignored it, and turned his horse's head to follow Fu Chen into the woods.

Wu Baiqi followed him closely and deliberately intervened between him and the horses of others.

Xue Rong was unhappy to look at him.

Wu Baiqi barked his teeth and hummed softly: "I didn't expect you to come too. Hey, I remember we haven't spoken for ten years? Do you remember what happened back then?"

He still had a childish temper. Xue Rong didn't bother to care about him, and his expression was indifferent: "I don't understand what you are talking about."

Wu Bai stared with anger: "Okay, you are still so brazen for so many years!"

Xue Rong snorted, disdain to reason with him, and went forward.

Wu Bai wanted to follow him, and Xue Rong followed him to make trouble.

When Fu Chen saw it, he scolded Wu Baiqi, "You don't want to go hunting, and if you dare to make trouble, I will take your pants and tie you to the tree!"

Wu Bai shrank his neck, no longer obviously messing up, but still closely following Xue Rong.

Fu Chen shook his head and said to the people: "Let's disperse, meet here in an hour, and whoever has few prey will be invited to drink tonight!"

Someone didn't follow him and roared: "Isn't your sir that you are clearly bullying us? Your archery skills are the best here, so you won't be the bottom. Are you planning to take advantage of us from the beginning?"

Fu Chen messed up with a group of guards all day, and talked roughly, pointing at him and smiling: "Take advantage of you? You get off the horse and stand. Let me see if you have a big breast or a round shape?"

One sentence caused a roar of laughter, and Wu Baiqi laughed the loudest.

Fu Chen glared at him, shouted, and walked away.

The laughter was still floating in the woods, and the people had dispersed.

Wu Baiqi followed Xue Rong like a follower, and because Fu Chen was not around, he started to provoke Xue Rong again. He most wanted to tell Xue Rong that he was not worthy of Fu Xuan, but the matter of the family of Xue and Fu discussing relatives did not go out. Now he proposed that Fu Chen's plan might be ruined, so he forcibly endured it and broke down for a while. The branch threw it towards Xue Rong, and later called him his childhood nickname.

Xue Rong's self-cultivation was pretty good, and he always ignored him.

Wu Baiqi was about to continue to provoke him when a white shadow flashed across the thigh-high grass in front of him. Seeing Xue Rong taking an arrow, Wu Baiqi hurriedly drew a long arrow from his back quiver, and shot it towards the vegetation cover over there. Got out. Only halfway through his arrow, a cry of pain suddenly came from behind the bushes.

It's Fu Chen's voice!

Xue Rong was shocked, and just about to come forward to investigate, his body became stiff.

Fu Chen hit the arrow. He shot the arrow. It's okay for Fu Chen to be slightly injured, but he was seriously injured. Not to mention his marriage to Fu Xuan. I'm afraid he will lose his job in Jinwuwei too, right?

Wu Baiqi rushed past him, and Xue Rong looked at him from behind, almost instinctively thinking.

However, Wu Baiqi's bow and arrow...

It was not Wu Baiqi who brought him from home, but Fu Chen lent him the spare bows and arrows! In other words, Wu Baiqi's arrows were the same as those of the others, and they were all prepared by Fu Chen, and no one could tell who was hurting someone with the arrow!

With thoughts, Xue Rong shouted loudly: "Wu Baiqi, see what you do!"

Wu Baiqi listened, and slammed the horse's rein, staring and questioning him: "What did you say? You, you tell me again!"

There was still no movement in the grass over there. Xue Rong raised his heart and couldn't help but guess that Fu Chen was seriously injured, so he became more determined to shirk responsibility. When he dismounted and rushed over, he rebuked Wu Baiqi: "You must grab my prey now. You won’t admit it if you hurt someone? You...sir, are you okay?"

Fu Chen stood up from the grass, clutching his arms, pulling on the sleeves that were pierced by the arrow, and said indifferently, "It's okay, it's okay, I have a big life, and the arrow was wiped from the side, only a little trauma." Chao Xue Rong With a smile, his gaze fell on Wu Baiqi who came afterwards, his face sank instantly, and he stepped forward and kicked Wu Baiqi, "I told you to be honest, you are not obedient, you almost killed me just now!"

Wu Baiqi staggered and got up, and while hiding from him, he pointed to Xue Rong to argue: "Second Brother Fu, you have wronged someone. It's not me, it's Xue Rong. Don't listen to him slanderously, he just..."

"Bah, do you dare to frame someone else if you hurt someone?" Fu Chen kicked him again, Wu Baiqi fell to the ground, and Fu Chen immediately chased him up, stepping on his back and raising his fist. hit.

"Forget it, my lord," Xue Rong clenched his wrist tightly and looked at Wu Bai and said, "Fortunately, the adult is fine, so don't care about him. This kind of person will be ignored in the future."

Wu Bai got angry and smoked, "You..."

"What are you?" Fu Chen smashed him on his back, Wu Baiqi screamed with pain, and no longer wanted to scold Xue Rong. He was honest, Fu Chen pointed to the front and said: "I just wanted to be here convenient, I didn't want to almost lose my life, forget it, my horse is over there, Xue Rong, you can help me lead it, and I will give him some color Take a look."

Xue Rong smiled helplessly: "Okay, it's just that the adults are showing mercy, Mr. Wu, over there..."

Fu Chen waved his hand, "I know."

Xue Rong went to lead the horse.

When he walked away, Wu Baiqi could not ask Fu Chen to move his foot, and said excitedly: "This time the second brother believed it, right?"

Fu Chen glanced back, then retracted his feet and said, "Well, Xue Rong is indeed misbehaving, okay, you helped me once, and our previous accounts have been written off, but I warn you and let me find out that you are looking for Xuanxuan. Trouble, I will never be merciless!"

Turn around and leave.

"Second brother!" Because of Xue Rong's return, Wu Baiqi did not dare to get up. He hugged Fu Chen's calf with quick eyes and hands. He was not very confident and confessed to him: "Second brother, in fact, I actually bullied the sixth girl because I like her... don't fight first, second brother, listen to me, I really like Xuanxuan, you see what I do before you will marry her to me? You say, as long as you say, I will do everything do!"

The young man was lying on the ground, his face a little embarrassed, only his eyes were firm and bright.

Fu Chen stared at him twice and smiled.

When he smiled, Wu Baiqi had a little hope in his heart and looked at him expectantly.

"roll!"

Fu Chen gave him another kick.

Xue Rong is good-looking and good-natured. What does Wu Baiqi have? Not even Xuan Xuan's finger!

When Xue Rong came back, Fu Chen got on his horse and rode away with him.

Hearing the sound of horses' hoofs away, Wu Baiqi beat the ground again and again, and after a while changed to lying on the ground, staring at the blue sky above the leaves.

Forget it, at least Fu Xuan won't marry Xue Rong, he still has a chance.

When the youth regained strength, Fu Chen returned home with a calm face.

Seeing that his son was hurt, Qiao was so distressed that he personally prescribed medicine to his son, complaining why he was not careful.

Fu Chen didn't even see the small wound he had caused himself, and said in a low voice, "Mother, Xue Rong is a good match for Xuan Xuan. Tomorrow you send someone to join the horoscope, and say that the two of them have the same numerology, reject it. ."

Fu Xuan rushed over when he heard the news. He paused before stepping into the hall.

The author has something to say: Wu Baiqi: Second brother, don’t...

Fu Chen: Get out!

Wu Baiqi: Second brother~~~

Official brother: Uh, Sister Six, I have never called our brother like that.

Fu Xuan: Don't look at it, it's shameful.

Wu Baiqi: ~~o(>_<)o~~
