MTL - The Reborn Lady is Farming-Chapter 1407 Extra 范子 衿 (24)
When Qi Xiuyuan was able, he arranged staff in the capital. His original intention was to protect his stupid younger brother, but because his younger brother's force value was too high and Zijin was smart, those people didn't come in handy. Instead, they became intelligence officers who collected information. .
Because the two little masters don't let people worry every day, they only realized that something was wrong two days after Qi Haoran and the others left Beijing.
After hearing about Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin running away from home, they sent people north to report the letter and sent people to look for it along the way.
However, they have limited manpower and cannot be as fast as Fan Siwen and Xia Tong.
The person who could report the news quickly arrived at Xingzhou.
Qi Xiuyuan received the news that his younger brother had run away from home two weeks ago, and immediately dispatched Jiang Ze to lead people south to find him, but there was no news for the past half month.
The people sent by Xia Tong and Fan Siwen had already arrived at Xingzhou Mansion. They didn't find anyone, nor did the grand master here. They vaguely knew that they had missed someone, so they could only go back in a hurry.
Qi Xiuyuan looked at the embarrassed two, and asked, "How did you guys get on the road? It's only a 20-day journey from the capital to Xingzhou, but you guys actually walked for more than a month!"
Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin looked at each other and didn't dare to say that they stole more than 50,000 taels of money from Qi's residence, but only said they were deceived and hunted down, "After they took away the money, we We were penniless. Originally, we planned to hire a carriage when we became jade pendants. Who knew that those bandits would bite us tightly, and when we arrived at Xingzhou Prefecture, there were still a group of people from the rivers and lakes chasing them. After I escaped into the forest, we might not really see the big cousin again."
Fan Zijin was afraid of being beaten, so he could say how pitiful he was. He looked at his elder cousin tearfully and said, "We couldn't catch wild game in the mountains, and we didn't dare to pick and eat wild fruits when we saw them. We were always hungry and thirsty. I thought I would starve to death in the mountains."
Qi Haoran nodded as he stuffed chicken thighs into his mouth, his mouth full of oil: "We met a little girl later, she gave us biscuits and a pheasant and a hare, otherwise we would definitely starve to death. ."
If you don't starve to death, you won't be able to get out of the mountains and forests in a short time. Maybe you will go further and further in. You don't know how to die.
Qi Xiuyuan looked at his devouring younger brother, and then at Fan Zijin, who was so thin that his clothes were empty, he felt angry and hurt, and finally said with a stern face: "That is to be very grateful, the next time you see someone give her the money from the prey, returning a Favour many times more."
said again: "As for the bandits, big brother will handle it, you don't have to worry about it."
"The one who hunted us down..."
A cold light flashed in Qi Xiuyuan's eyes, and he said with a sullen face: "Since they are from the Jianghu, they should be treated as a matter of the Jianghu. Although the Zhu family quit the Jianghu to join the army, they still have some status in the Jianghu. After I discussed this with the uncles. Deal with it. You just stay with me, and I will write to my aunt and ask her to pick me up."
Fan Zijin was stunned for a moment, his eyes reddened immediately, and he bowed his head sadly and said, "Big cousin, we don't want to go back."
Qi Haoran nodded again and again.
"Bullshit," Qi Xiuyuan said with a frown, "The north is no better than the capital, everything here is lacking, and it's a border crossing, it's very dangerous, and Haoran is okay, you will join the army in the future, but you have to take the imperial examinations and enter the officialdom. If you stay here, you can have it. What's the future?"
"I won't have a future when I go back to the capital," Fan Zijin said with a cold face, "I've only been bullied there, how can I still study the imperial examinations? If my cousin doesn't allow me, then I'll go to Uncle Zhu. They go."
Qi Xiuyuan was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Who dares to bully you?"
In his opinion, his brother should be bullied, right?
He doesn't have a mother, and his father doesn't care about him. He is fostered in Fan's house.
But Fan Zijin is different. He is the eldest son, his parents are there, his aunt loves him, and he is also smart. Since he was a child, he was the only one who bullied others, and few others could count him. Who would dare to bully him?
Qi Xiuyuan looked at him suspiciously.
Fan Zijin was so wronged that he burst into tears, Qi Haoran stopped chewing on the chicken legs, and complained as soon as he wiped his mouth: "Big brother, it was Uncle and Fan Zixiao who joined forces to bully Zijin, you still don't know Uncle? It was all over the horizon, but it was fine in the past, and it has gotten worse over the years, and you haven’t been away for a long time, because of the study, my uncle looked at Zijin almost every three or five times, obviously he was very good at reading.”
Qi Haoran was even more angry when he saw his little friend shed tears, blushing and said: "It's a good thing that Zijin has passed the Xiucai exam this time, who knows that we haven't had time to celebrate, and my uncle said that he will give Enyin's place to Fan. Zixiao, before we leave the capital, he has paid for it!"
Qi Xiuyuan's face sank when he heard this.
Qi Haoran continued to be indignant, "Whose family's Enyin quota is not given to the eldest son? Even if it is not given to the eldest son, it will be left to the eldest grandson. It is a hurdle for a scholar to become a person. I don't know how many people in this world have overcome this hurdle. Hair, Zijin is smart, but if he fails the exam one day, the matter can't be decided. Even if he likes Fan Zixiao and wants to give him a place, it will have to wait for Zijin to pass the exam. Now Zijin was only twelve years old, and Fan Zixiao was only fifteen years old, so he hurriedly decided on grace, because we were afraid that we would not know that he was guarding Zijin?"
Fan Zijin's face turned even paler, and Qi Xiuyuan's face became more and more ugly.
In the end, the popularity of Fan Siwen and Fan Zixiao is too ugly. If he waits for Zijin to be bigger, he will decide on the candidate of Enyin after he wins the championship or passes the examination. Even then, he still wants to give Fan Zi the quota. Xiao, even if Zijin was angry, he wouldn't have such a big reaction.
But now Zijin is only twelve years old, and Fan Zixiao is only fifteen, so eager to choose Enyin people, everyone knows that he is guarding Fan Zijin.
And Fan Zijin is his son-in-law, the only son-in-law!
People in Beijing still don't know how to think about Zijin.
As long as there is a heart, everyone will be sad.
Qi Xiuyuan looked at his aggrieved cousin who bowed his head, and then at his indignant younger brother, thinking of the person who was sent to hunt them down on the road, his eyes couldn't help sinking, and said, "If that's the case, you all stay. I will try to find a way for you to ask your husband to teach you to read, even at the border, your studies will not fall behind, especially your son, don't let your father and brother underestimate you."
Fan Zijin nodded solemnly and assured: "Don't worry, big cousin, I will definitely study hard."
As long as he doesn't go back and see those people who block his heart.
The two little friends looked at each other and couldn't help but cheer up.
It was the first time for the two of them to come to the border. The folk customs here are sturdy, completely different from the gentle and prosperous Jiangnan.
Qi Xiuyuan saw that the two were in high spirits, so he called Feibai, the servant beside him, and said, "I'll stay by my side to serve the sword, and Feibai will give it to you. He is also familiar with border gates, so let him take him wherever he wants to go. You go."
In addition to Feibai, there are naturally many other guards and waiters.
Qi Xiu's vision of fleeing before did not leave them a psychological shadow, so he immediately felt relieved and began to deal with the things they encountered along the way.
First of all, he wants to suppress the bandits!
