Competing

Chapter 72 is not calm

Kuaiji, Zhenze Villa.

In the evening, there is a cool breeze by the lake.In the study near the lake, her daughter Fan Yilan was beating Naifu's back.Fan Wenxuan sat on the mat, silently feeling the care of this daughter, very comfortable.

"How is your mother?" Fan Wenxuan closed his eyes and asked.

Fan Yilan, who was delicate and charming, replied: "It doesn't matter, but my brother is leaving again, so mother is inevitably a little bit reluctant."

Fan Wenxuan shook his head secretly: "Is Yang'er already on his way?"

Jiao smiled and said: "Yes, brother will go to Dingtao to explain some things first, and then he will go directly to the grassland building to bother the king, so you can rest assured. I thought that my father would be sad when my brother left, so I came here to accompany you. "

Fan Wenxuan smiled lightly, and said: "I have always regretted being a father. Why is Yilan a daughter? She is so intelligent, well-behaved and sensible, and so caring. If she were a man, Dad would be much more at ease."

Fan Yilan smiled sweetly: "Isn't there still a brother? Daddy, you are biased. Although Yilan is a daughter, she is also a member of the Fan family, and she is doing her best to contribute to the development of the family!"

"Yeah, Yilan has always been very good, and has helped my father a lot these years. It's just that this girl is not allowed to stay, and I don't know when? My Yilan should get married." Fan Wenxuan said, Unconsciously, someone's figure appeared in Yilan's heart, and her pretty face blushed slightly.

At this time, the servant came to report: "Master, the third master sent someone to send a letter!"

Fan Yilan took a bamboo tube and handed it to her father. Fan Wenxuan waved her hand lightly and said, "I don't want to waste my eyes, just read it to me!"

Yilan was slightly taken aback, opened the sealing seal, and took out a silk book from the bamboo tube.When it was opened, it was filled with distorted symbols, and there were no words at all. This was exactly the code word of his Fan family's unique letter, and it was also the meaning of a code.Even if the letter is intercepted, others cannot understand what is written on it, so they don't worry about the information being leaked.

Although Fan Yilan is a woman, she is smart, a peerless beauty with both ability and wisdom.After meeting Yu Ji, the so-called number one beauty in Chu and Han, Yin Xu responsibly believed that Fan Yilan was even more beautiful.Who is the real number one beauty, it is obvious...

The first beauty read the letter intently, and said, "Daddy, third uncle said that Prince Xiong Xin ascended the throne today, and he is still called King Huai of Chu."

"King Huai of Chu?" Fan Wenxuan seemed a little surprised.

Fan Yilan replied: "Yes, it is the result of the game between Song Yi and Xiang Liang, but this proposal came from Yin Xu."

"Yin Xu?"

"Yes!" Fan Yilan looked at the letter and gave an overview of the day's situation.

Fan Wenxuan laughed as he listened: "It seems that Yin Xu is really talented. The person you recommended is good! However, if he is always under the command of the Xiang family, I'm afraid it won't work."

Yilan distinguished: "Daddy, don't worry! You see, King Huai canonized him as Marquis of Shaoxing, with [-] households in Shiyi and Shanyin. There is a large area in the south of Kuaiji, which is the old land of Yue Kingdom. "

Fan Wenxuan naturally understood what his daughter meant, and said with a smile, "Look! It's too early for this meeting. As long as he performs well, has potential and prospects, he will definitely support him. By the way, how about Song Yi?"

Fan Yilan frowned and said: "Third Uncle said, Song Yi was named Ling Yin, General, and Champion of Qingzi, and he was in charge of Chu's military affairs. A man under one man is above ten thousand people."

The Fan family's father and daughter were a little surprised by such a result, and after a while Fan Wenxuan said: "It's interesting, it seems that although this Chuhuai King is young, he is much more powerful than his grandfather."

Fan Yilan was thoughtful: "Father, Song Yi seems to be looking good at this moment, but judging from his past actions, it may not be a big deal. In comparison, the Xiang family is much stronger. What about working hard on yourself?"

"Daughter, sometimes there are many things that you know are thankless, but you have to do them. Do you know why?" Fan Wenxuan said with a smile: "Many times the result is not important, but the process is important. Our family has always been the eldest son Housekeeping, except for important matters that need to be discussed by the clan elders, other matters are decided by the father."

"However, there are thousands of people in the whole family, and they can keep their own place everywhere. Your uncles have always complained about asking for money and power not once or twice, especially your third uncle." Fan Wenxuan said in a deep voice: "They are so If you want to contribute to the family, then ask him to do something. It was your third uncle who brought Song Yi to your brother. Since he is the one he likes, let him do it. See what he thinks? How much patience do you have?"

Fan Yilan has been accompanying her sick mother recently, and she doesn't ask much about family affairs, so she didn't expect that there is another inside story.The wise beauty was thinking quickly, her heart was shocked, and she said in surprise: "Father, did you let my brother go to the grassland...?"

Fan Wenxuan's approving eyes fell on his daughter's face, and he sighed: "If your brother is as smart as you, I can rest assured to hand over the family business to him."

Yilan hurriedly said: "Father, look at what you said, my brother has always done things safely, and he has managed the business in the north in an orderly manner in the past few years. After a few more years of experience and accumulated experience, he will definitely be able to take on the big responsibility of the family, so you can rest assured .”

Fan Wenxuan shook his head: "Yang'er is steady and honest, but he lacks resourcefulness and lacks precise independent judgment on many things. He is still young, and it would be bad if someone deliberately misled him, so I asked him to go to the north, where the grassland and Yan Zhao Future is a big business, and Yang’er over there has been taking care of it well. The purpose of coming here is to let him avoid the place of right and wrong, and learn to see the situation clearly through the experience.”

Fan Yilan knew clearly in her heart, she didn't expect her father to think so deeply, it seems that the eldest brother went to the north this time, he only knew one thing and didn't know the other, alas!While sighing, she also lamented for the first time that the family is not peaceful, and everything is going well in harmony, but now... father is not easy to be the patriarch!
Fan Wenxuan saw what his daughter was thinking, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, being a father still has some control. They can't make too much trouble. This time, let Song Yi, Tian Brothers and Qi Guo's business be entrusted to them .I want to see, how will they end up if they can't do it well?"

"By the way, Fan Bai and Fan Jin have been arranged for my father. Keep an eye on your third uncle, and you should also pay attention. Your brother is gone, so you can spend some time on Dingtao's side! Nearly half of the family's foundation is there, There are also quite a few clansmen over there, so don’t take it lightly, let alone let others get involved.”

Fan Yilan's heart was shocked, "Zibaijinqing" father's four confidantes.Fan Zi followed her elder brother Fan Yang to the north, and Fan Qing followed herself.This time the Platinum and Gold two came out, it seems that the father is quite dissatisfied with the third uncle.

She spared no effort, and agreed to her father's order without hesitation.

Fan Wenxuan said softly: "Your younger brothers are still young, and they are all born of concubines. I don't want you to worry about the few, thank you for your hard work."

Yilan shook her head: "Whatever daddy says, this is what a daughter should do!"

Fan Wenxuan glanced out the window, it was already pitch black, and said: "It's night, Yilan, go back and rest! Be careful on the road!"

"Yes!" Fan Yilan walked out with a graceful posture.When walking to the gate of the courtyard, a delicate and charming young woman came slowly and bowed to her: "I have met the eldest lady!"

"Well, let's go!" Yilan knew that the young woman's name was Ru Xue, and she was her father's new concubine this year.According to the rules of the Fan family, a concubine is equivalent to a servant and must salute to her, the eldest daughter of the eldest son.Ru Xue appeared here at this time, naturally serving her father on the mat.Fan Yilan, who came from a wealthy family, has long been used to it and doesn't care.

Walking in the summer night, Fan Yilan felt more and more stuffy, and had just returned to her embroidery building.The torrential rain fell from the sky, and between lightning and thunder, mist filled the sky on the lake.Fan Yilan lay on the embroidered couch without sleep for a long time.

The rain hits the plantains, the patter, the wind and the wind are coming, and it is destined not to be peaceful.
