Dressed as the mistress of the Hou family, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

When the time comes, the Yongcheng Houfu, which should have been empty, is now full of guests.

Fang Xu stood at the top, looked around with a smile, and said softly, "Today is my daughter Wanzhou's coming-of-age haircut ceremony. If you are willing to show your favor, I would like to thank you very much."

After finishing speaking, Fang Xu slowly sat down. Su Zi on the side took a moment, stepped forward, and said in a clear voice, "The time is up, please come into the lobby to meet the guests and friends."

Zhutao came out first, holding a golden basin and kneeling at Fang Xu's feet.

Fang Xu lowered his head, washed his hands, and moved his eyes to the door.

Under the gaze of everyone, Xie Wanzhou stepped into the lobby with light steps. She had changed into clothes and shoes early in the morning, bowed to the guests, bowed to Fang Xu, and then knelt down in front of her mother.

Fang Xu's eyes softened a little, and he picked up the comb on the plate and combed Xie Wanzhou's hair.

Finally, Bai Ji held up the ropa and hairpin and handed them to Fang Xu.

Fang Xu lowered his eyes, opened his red lips slightly, and murmured softly, "On this auspicious day of the month, I will start to wear yuan clothes. I will give up your young ambitions, follow you and become virtuous, my longevity will be good, and I will be blessed."

While talking, he combed Xie Wanzhou's hair and added hairpins.

Xie Wanzhou's eyebrows drooped, and his expression didn't look like joy, but more like melancholy.

Seeing his mother return to her seat, Xie Wanzhou straightened her expression, stood up slowly, saluted and thanked the guests around her, then went back to her room to change her clothes, and when she came back, she knelt down and bowed to her mother again.

After thanking all the guests again, Xie Wanzhou quietly left.

Fang Xu stood up slowly, smiled gently at the people around him, and said softly, "My little daughter, the evening boat ceremony has been completed. Thank you for your kindness. I have passed on the banquet. Please do your best."

Fang Xu looked back and his eyes fell on the position of the Lian family. His father and mother looked at each other and smiled, but when he saw that there was no figure of Lian Yan around, his brows suddenly furrowed.

"Why is Madam unhappy?"

When Fang Xu was in a daze, Shen Ji appeared behind her. Seeing that she looked wrong, he spoke warmly.

Fang Xu came back to his senses, glanced at him, then looked at Su Zi, and said softly, "Isn't Mr. Lian among the guests today?"

Su Zi was stunned for a moment, his eyes swept across the hall, and he shook his head, "I didn't look carefully."

Hearing this, Fang Xu nodded, then looked at Shen Ji to one side, lowered his voice and asked, "What method did you use to convince these officials?"

Shen Ji paused and was about to deny it, but was overtaken by Wen Mo at the side.

"Madam, these adults are here because our husband came to them one by one. They even threatened and intimidated them, so they didn't dare not to come!" Wen Mo grinned, showing his white teeth, and lowered his voice, "Sir, why don't you go to Jin?" I came to the bank to have a fight with King Runan."

Hearing this, Fang Xu was startled, his eyes fell on Shen Ji, and he was mesmerized for a moment.

Shen Ji looked at her with such fiery eyes and felt a little uncomfortable, and his earlobes were dyed red, "Madam..."

"Can you beat him?"

With one sentence, the pink bubbles blown by Shen Ji were completely popped.

Fang Xu asked sincerely, glanced around him, and murmured in a low voice, "See, you, a weakling, can actually defeat King Runan?"

Shen Ji gritted his back teeth and asked in a low voice, "Madam, do you think I'm not good enough?"

This is a strange thing to say.

Fang Xu blinked and shook his head in denial, "I just thought he was a tough guy and I was afraid he would bully you."

Hearing this, Shen Ji's expression improved.

"So did you win?"

"...No." "I knew it." Fang Xu laughed, his eyes angry, "You are a civil servant, there are so many thugs in the bank, how can you be their opponent."

Fang Xu looked at him, a smile flashed in his eyes, "What kind of hatred is there that makes you go to other people's territory to cause trouble?"

"If he bullies you, I will bully him back."

Shen Ji turned his head sideways and his earlobes turned a little red. He was obviously a senior official who could take charge of his own affairs, but to Fang Xu he looked like a young boy.

Fang Xu was stunned, his eyes dazed for a moment.

In her memory, she had never been so cherished by anyone.

She originally thought she didn't need it, but now it seems that she is clearly happy.

Seeing that Fang Xu ignored him for a long time, Shen Ji turned his head, looked at her carefully, and said warmly, "Madam, are you angry? It is true that I was impulsive today... I have already thought of a preface, and I will give him a copy in court tomorrow. , I will never cause you to lose face."

"Why bother provoking him?" Fang Xu glanced at him, with a little smile in his tone, "After all, he is a relative of the emperor, so he should save some face."

"Madam, you must retaliate when you act harshly. You never consider the background of the other party. How come I am just trying to persuade you?" Shen Ji's eyes were deep, and her appearance was reflected in his pupils. "I worked hard to climb up, just to get ahead and be able to be respected in the future." Madam has a backer.”

"You can roam around this capital in one day while I'm here."

"I'm not a crab, why are you walking sideways?" Fang Xu felt funny, rolled his eyes at him, and said softly, "I can't walk now. When the guests have dispersed, I'll take a look at your injuries."

Shen Ji looked cautious and murmured in a low voice, "Then are you still angry with me?"

Fang Xu looked at him. Although his tone was light, there was a smile in his eyes, "You are trying to stand up for me, how can I be angry with you?"

Shen Ji pursed his thin lips and looked away, not daring to look directly at the person above.

Looking at his shy husband, Wen Mo shook his head helplessly and sighed softly.

If we continue at this pace, when will the long road to chasing my wife end?

After a long time, it was getting dark, and the guests at the house finally dispersed, leaving only Shen Ji and Fang Lan.

Granny Yuan smiled and rolled her eyes, staring at Fang Lan, and said with a loving look, "Girl Lan, please stay at the house today."

Fang Lan nodded and agreed sensibly, "Of course I will listen to the old lady."

Grandma Yuan smiled even happier, took Fang Lan's hand, and whispered, "Let's go for a walk with this old woman like me."

Fang Lan walked to the old lady obediently, took her arm, and helped her walk out.

Liu Fanyin was not feeling well, so as soon as the guests left, she invited herself back to the pine garden.

Xie Li and Song Huixin had official duties, so they also left the lobby side by side.

Everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding and left one after another. Only Fang Xu and Shen Ji were left in the huge hall.

Seeing that there was no one else around, Fang Xu waved to Shen Ji, "Come and sit next to me."

Shen Ji was stunned for a moment and whispered, "Madam, this is unreasonable."

Although he said this, his body was very honest. When he reacted, he was already sitting next to Fang Xu.

Fang Xu couldn't help but laugh, looked at him with his eyes, and said softly, "Where are you injured?"

"I didn't suffer any injuries." Shen Ji lowered his long eyelashes and said in a deep voice, "The King of Runan knew my identity and did not kill me. Wen Mo blocked some for me. Only one piece of clothing was torn and his forearm was caught. A few times."

Fang Xu took out the wound medicine from the box on the side and said calmly, "Pull up your sleeves and let me see the wound."
