Chapter 105 Reply (New Year's Day extra)

"Brother, why did you give me that bow today?"

Chu Jinzhou raised his head and looked at Chu Jinnian with his pair of dark eyes.

"I gave it to you early because I thought you would need it for practicing archery in the future so you can get familiar with it." Chu Jinnian lowered his eyes and picked up a shrimp to eat.

Fresh, tender and tasty, with great flavor.

"But my elder brother always thought that I was too weak and was afraid that I would get tired, so he never allowed me to practice horse riding and archery." Chu Jinzhou tilted his head: "Now, elder brother, do you have something to tell me?"

"Mr. left very late just now. It looked like he had been talking to my elder brother for a long time. Did my elder brother ask Mr. to be strict with me in the future? I felt sorry for him, so he took the bow to cheer me up?"

"That's not the case."

Chu Jinnian laughed: "I just wanted to borrow Mr. Zhou from you, so I took this bow in exchange."

"ah?"

Chu Jinzhou made numerous guesses, but he never expected this result.

"How can a teacher be exchanged for a bow?" Chu Jinzhou pursed his lips. "Although I also know that my elder brother borrowed the teacher to go, there must be a reason for it, and since my elder brother told me this, it must be that the teacher has agreed to this matter. But if the teacher leaves, who will teach me to read?"

"Let me make it clear first, big brother. If you find another teacher to teach me, I won't agree."

"You don't have to worry about this. I didn't just randomly find another teacher. I carefully selected a teacher to teach you. I'm sure you have heard of this person before. He is also a good friend of Mr. Zhou."

Chu Jinnian said slowly.

Chu Jinzhou's eyes widened immediately: "Brother, what do you mean..."

"That's right." Chu Jinnian nodded: "It's Fan Wenxuan, Mr. Fan."

What? Ning Feng looked at Chu Jinnian in disbelief, and the soup bowl in his hand almost fell to the ground. ——It was night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, as if it was daytime.

"Young Master, do you really want to ask Mr. Fan to teach the Third Young Master?" Ning Feng, who handed a cup of tea to Chu Jinzhou, couldn't help but ask.

"What's the matter?" Chu Jinzhou paused while writing a letter and looked up at Ning Feng: "What's the problem?"

"But Mr. Fan..."

It would be fine if he was just cynical, but he was also a well-known weird intellectual in the entire capital.

Others would compose poetry and couplets while boating on the lake, going out for an outing, or at the very least playing in the garden. But Fan Wenxuan told others that poetry and songs were always written in the fields, and from time to time he would help people pull out some weeds and hoe the fields.

Other literati keep pets, such as colorful parrots that can mimic human voices, or singing thrushes, or lively and cute cats and dogs. But Mr. Fan is more extraordinary. He raises a yard full of chickens and ducklings, and lets them run around in the yard. When others go into his yard, there is no place to even step.

It is such a strange literati who is well-versed in ancient and modern times, with a library full of books. Even his paintings are lifelike and eye-catching. He often says a few words from time to time, which often shocks the world.

But even though Mr. Fan was knowledgeable and well-informed, few people were willing to interact with him because of his many strange behaviors, especially after he was "invited" out of the Imperial College, the number of visitors became increasingly rare, let alone any clan school or academy inviting him to teach.

Chu Jinnian actually wanted to assign Fan Wenxuan, such a person, to teach Chu Jinzhou, to teach his most beloved younger brother to read.

Ning Feng felt that his son might have gone insane.

"I think Mr. Fan is very nice." Chu Jinnian smiled and said, "Mr. Fan will be here in about three days. We will clean up a yard and arrange for Mr. Fan to stay."

"Mr. Fan behaves differently. As long as it doesn't put Jin Zhou in danger, you can ignore it."

Seeing that Chu Jinnian had arranged everything and had obviously made up his mind, Ning Feng stopped talking, swallowed the rest of his words, and responded with a "yes".

I'm afraid that by then, I'll have to be extremely alert and look closely at Mr. Fan.

"By the way, has the letter to the mansion been sent back?" Chu Jinnian asked.

"It has been sent back. It should arrive today." Ning Feng said this with a little more spirit on his face. "I think the lady will be so happy after receiving this letter that she will not be able to sleep."

Are you happy?

I hope I'm not scared.

Chu Jinnian curled the corners of his lips. —— "Princess, aren't you going to take a break?" The maid Bi Tao brought the basin over and said with a smile, "The water temperature is just right, and the peach blossom juice has been added. Princess, please moisten your hands."

Princess Luo stopped drawing her eyebrows in front of the mirror and put down the eyebrow ink in her hand.

It was Luo's habit to put on makeup at night.

In her opinion, makeup at night needs to be more delicate than makeup during the day, so she pays extra attention to it.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After all, during the day, one has to face either the maids and old women in the mansion or those people who dream of clinging to the glory of their mansion. It would be in vain for them to look at the makeup. Only at night would those who truly appreciated the makeup come back.

The reason she was able to gain a foothold in this palace and to get to where she is today, apart from her family background, was all due to her own appearance and her ability to please the prince.

Any man would be moved when seeing the attitude of a young woman who dresses up to please herself, let alone a top-notch beauty like Luo. Even though she is over 30 years old now, she still looks as fresh and attractive as a young girl in her twenties.

Mrs. Luo looked in the mirror at the makeup she had just put on and was very satisfied.

"With a face like yours, Princess, you are already beautiful even without makeup. Now that you are wearing makeup, even I am so happy to see you." Bi Tao said with a smile.

"You're just a chatterbox." Luo scolded with a smile, "I'm too lax in disciplining you guys. I didn't allow you little sluts to make fun of your master."

"Even if the princess punishes me again, I still have to tell the truth." Bi Tao smiled and said, "Princess, do you think the water temperature is okay? If it's cold, I'll change it to a hotter one."

"That's appropriate."

Luo smelled the fragrance of peach blossoms emanating from the pot, and raised her eyebrows slightly: "By the way, did the person we sent over there earlier receive a reply?"

"Not yet..." Bi Tao paused, and said, "But I estimate it will be in the next two days, Princess, don't be anxious."

"It's not that I'm anxious, but there are some things that can't be delayed."

Luo's slender white fingers slowly scooped the flower juice into her hands, but a hint of ruthlessness flashed across her eyes.

Just like people, if you keep it, it will become a disaster.

While the master and servant were talking, a little girl came quickly from outside and whispered something in Bitao's ear.

"Princess." Bi Tao's eyebrows were full of joy. "The servants said that something was delivered over there. I think it's what you want. I'll go get it right away."
