Chapter 173 Fanning the flames
Nianxi didn't take the conflict with Fang Hongxi to heart. She lived her life as usual and forgot about it after a few days.
In addition, the school was about to be completed, and Madam Chengjing handed the matter over to her. Nian Xi racked her brains every day on how to run this "Enlightenment School" well, and she didn't even have time to think about "Half a Cup of Floating Life".
Fang Hongxi, after hearing Prince Jing's warning, although he was unwilling, he finally restrained himself a little. After all, it was something that His Highness had promised him, and he would have to play with Wen Nianxi sooner or later.
But even though I said this, I still felt a little uneasy in my heart. I had just finished my wedding ceremony with Lu Liu, and I was planning to go back to my own place in Shaanxi in the next few days.
Before returning to Shaanxi, the Xu family sent a younger generation to see him off, which was a courtesy between the elders of the Fang and Xu families to show their friendship.
After Fang Hongxi came to Xu's house to pay his respects to Minister Xu, Xu Ziqian invited him to dine at Panlou, the largest restaurant in the capital.
Before leaving, Xun suddenly sent someone to deliver a message, so Xu Ziqian had no choice but to ask Fang Hongxi to stay for a while and he would be back soon.
Fang Hongxi has no objection.
Actually, there is no need to eat this meal.
Xu Ziqian is obviously not the same kind of person as him, he is a hypocrite.
Instead of having such a bland vegetarian meal, he would rather go to a Qinlou or Chuguan and have a meaty meal with three or five courtesans.
But after all, Minister Xu is my father's friend for many years, so I have to give him this face.
Just when I was getting impatient, someone suddenly came in from outside the door.
Fang Hongxi was the most lustful person, and when he saw Xu Wanxin, his eyes lit up immediately.
He had seen her at Prince Jing's place. Although she looked delicate and graceful, she was also restless and had some conflicts with Prince Jing.
If Xu Wanxin was not Prince Jing's woman, he would be willing to get close to her. Fang Hongxi likes women who are a little more coquettish. A woman like Xu Wanxin, who looks weak, must have many tricks in bed.
pity……
Fang Hongxi sighed in his heart.
Although he felt regretful in his heart, he remained polite on the surface, thinking that Xu Wanxin had just taken the wrong path and was not here to look for him.
As expected, when she saw him, she was startled at first, then she said with a smile, "I thought the younger brother was here, but it turned out to be Mr. Fang."
She gave him an apologetic smile, turned around and slowly walked out holding the maid's hand, whispering as she walked, "Prepare Nianxi's compensation gift carefully, ordinary things will not catch her eye."
Fang Hongxi didn't care at first. Compared with Xu Wanxin's pretty face, he actually liked Wen Nianxi's beauty more.
What's more, she is Prince Jing's woman, so he doesn't want to offend her.
Who knew she actually mentioned Wen Nianxi.
Fang Hongxi only saw that woman three times, and each time he felt more itchy than the last. The more he couldn't get her, the more agitated he felt.
So he called out:
"etc!"
Xu Wanxin stopped and turned around with a puzzled look on her face, "Mr. Fang?"
Fang Hongxi asked, "Were you talking about Wen Nianxi just now?"
Xu Wanxin chuckled, "You also know Nianxi?"
Without waiting for Fang Hongxi to answer, she continued, "I offended her the other day, and was thinking of going to the Treasure Pavilion to pick out something nice to make up for it. Is Mr. Fang familiar with Nianxi?"
Fang Hongxi raised an eyebrow. "She does have a bad temper. How did you offend her?"
Xu Wanxin lowered her eyes, "It's just a quarrel between sisters."
Fang Hongxi was not a pushover, otherwise Prince Jing would not have warned him again and again. Wen Nianxi's guards beat him, and he was still angry in his heart. He wanted both face and people.
Xu Wanxin frowned slightly, as if she felt a little aggrieved. "She has a backer behind her. Previously she had General Gu, and now she has the Duke of Fu. She always looks down on us."
"Young General Gu?"
"It was Gu Ci from the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion. He is now fighting on the front line. He held Nianxi in his hands and loved her dearly. It's a pity that he is gone now. But Nianxi didn't feel depressed for long. She got to know the Duke of Fuguo again."
When Fang Hongxi heard this, he became interested. It turned out that Wen Nianxi was some kind of chaste and virtuous woman. He didn't even touch her with a finger, but was beaten by her guards. After doing it for half a day, it turned out that she was also a womanizer.
It is possible that the guards around her were specially sent by Lu Wensheng to keep an eye on this woman!
Thinking of Lu Wensheng, he felt a headache again. He was a tough guy. Before he came, his father had repeatedly reminded him to get along well with Lu Wensheng.
Fang Hongxi leaned back in his chair, "I heard that Duke Lu likes her very much?"
Xu Wanxin laughed secretly in her heart, but pretended to be embarrassed. She bit her lower lip and nodded.
"I shouldn't have said this to you, but you and I are good friends, and we are family."
Fang Hongxi heard her tone and thought there might be something going on, so he quickly replied, "Yes."
Xu Wanxin continued, "As for Nianxi, her family background is not so good after all, and she has to deal with Mr. Gu first. I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to become the wife of the Duke of Fu. It was because of this that Nianxi got angry with me a few days ago."
"I meant well. If the Duke was only interested in her looks, wouldn't it be a waste of her youth? Honest advice always hurts her and makes her unhappy."
Yu Fanghongxi was just dozing off when he heard this, so he asked tentatively, "You mean, Lu Wensheng was just playing with her?"
Xu Wanxin was embarrassed and said, "There is always some truth in it."
Fang Hongxi is not a person who will suffer a loss. He is also a sex-hungry ghost. At this time, he is even more impulsive. If Gu Ci and Lu Wensheng can play with them, then his status is not lower than the two of them, so why can't he play with them? !
He suddenly became a little excited, sat up straight and asked, "Really?"
Xu Wanxin saw what he was thinking and said calmly, "There is no such thing as true or false in this matter. But if a man truly loves a woman, he always wants to marry her and love her as soon as possible."
If Lu Wensheng doesn't marry Wen Nianxi, it will be just a fleeting relationship.
Then what does he care about?
If she was really the one Lu Wensheng loved the most, he would not bother to wade into this trouble.
Xu Wanxin chuckled innocently, "Mr. Fang is about to marry the sixth daughter of the Duke of Fuguo. Why are you asking me these questions? Aren't you closer to the Duke of Fuguo?"
Although Fang Hongxi was naughty, he still understood the basic subtitles.
Yes, she is the legitimate aunt of the Lu family. How could Lu Wensheng destroy the relationship between the two families for a woman from outside the family?
Xu Wanxin was very good at inciting people. With just a few words, Fang Hongxi's evil heart was set on fire again.
Thinking about how to get Wen Nianxi.
He was not in a hurry to go back now. He was burning with anger and could not wait for Xu Ziqian to come back, so he just said goodbye:
"I remember that I have some important business in Beijing, so I'll tell Ziqian that we can have this meal another day."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
When Xu Ziqian rushed over from the main courtyard with a puzzled look on his face, he saw his sister sitting alone in the hall drinking tea.
Asked: "Where is Mr. Fang?"
Xu Wanxin was in a good mood and smiled softly, "He said he had something important to do, so he left first."
Xu Ziqian had never had a good impression of Fang Hongxi, and his departure saved him the pain of having to eat a meal.
So I no longer cared about it.
