Chapter 259 Accept Your Fate
"Oh my, young master, they say a gentleman uses his mouth instead of his fists. You are really not a gentleman at all!"
"Master, I just drew a tiger for Jin Zhou. What do you mean by painting my face black?"
"My Lord, please show mercy..."
"Young Master..."
Forget it, just accept your fate.
He struggled desperately, and half of his face was already painted. It didn't make any sense whether he resisted or not. At this point, if he painted his entire face black, the color would look more even, otherwise it would look weird.
So, Fan Wenxuan felt disheartened. When he saw that his face had actually turned into Bao Gong's in the mirror that Chu Jinnian had specially placed in front of him, he could only sigh silently.
It was just that he was in a playful mood today and bullied Chu Jinzhou a little bit, but unfortunately, he was caught by Chu Jinnian, the living devil, again.
It seems that Chu Jinnian is really his nemesis! If he wants to have fun in this world in the future, the first step is to kill Chu Jinnian!
Fan Wenxuan complained in his heart for a long time before he washed his face with the warm water brought by Ning Feng to wash off the dark ink stains on his face.
Like Chu Jinzhou, the ink stains on Fan Wenxuan's face could not be completely cleaned. And because the ink on Fan Wenxuan's face was thick enough, it was more obvious than that on Chu Jinzhou's face. In addition, it was summer now, and he was wearing a round-necked robe. The exposed neck and face formed a very sharp contrast, making his face look even darker.
In Beijing, both men and women consider white as beautiful, especially scholars like Fan Wenxuan, who have always been particular about being romantic and elegant. Seeing him like this at this moment is as uncomfortable as not being allowed to eat braised pork.
After returning, Fan Wenxuan looked at himself in the mirror again and again, sighing repeatedly.
Chu Jinnian is a person who cannot be provoked. He always knows where to poke the knife the most painfully! Especially this pair of eyes, apart from the matter of the Fourth Prince, they are only staring at Chu Jinzhou, which makes him unable to joke with Chu Jinzhou. I really don’t know when Chu Jinnian’s temper will change! I have to think of a way to keep Chu Jinnian busy, so that he won’t always stare at him and teach Chu Jinzhou.
What could possibly make Chu Jinnian, the cold-faced devil, busy and stop focusing on Chu Jinzhou and him...
Fan Wenxuan lowered his head and thought for a long time.
"Mr. Fan." A servant came in with a cup of fresh tea in his hand and respectfully placed it on his table. "Please have some tea."
"Yeah." Fan Wenxuan nodded slightly, and at a glance he saw a little bit of pink showing through the gap in the servant's slanted collar.
“You are…”
The servant looked down and saw the exposed corner of the handkerchief. His face turned red like an apple. He quickly reached out and stuffed the handkerchief completely inside. He spoke hesitantly, "This... I'm sorry to make you laugh, sir. I asked someone to buy this a few days ago. I want to give it to someone when I have time."
Fan Wenxuan chuckled, "No wonder you've been so absent-minded these days. It turns out that you've been thinking about other things and you've become distracted when doing things."
"I dare not." The servant was shocked when he heard that and apologized quickly, "I will serve you wholeheartedly in the future..."
"It's just a joke. You don't have to be scared. You know my temper. Don't take it seriously."
After hearing this, the servant, who had been extremely panicked, felt a little relieved.
Fan Wenxuan usually laughs and jokes, and indeed doesn't care much about many things, but as a slave, he naturally has to serve carefully and attentively, so he said words of apology and then left.
Looking at the boy's back, Fan Wenxuan smiled and shook his head.
It’s great to be young…
That’s right!
Chu Jinnian is just a young man, full of vigor and vitality. If he had a beautiful girl in his arms, how could he have the time and energy to care about Chu Jinzhou and his affairs? This idea was like a weed growing out of a crack in a stone. After seeing the sun and the wind, it grew wildly and uncontrollably, almost occupying Fan Wenxuan's entire mind.
This is a good idea, a very good idea!
Fan Wenxuan even paced back and forth in the room excitedly, his face full of pride.
Hehehe, Chu Jinnian, ah Chu Jinnian, let’s see how powerful you will become in the future.
Chu Jinnian, who had been scolded many times, sneezed loudly when he opened the book.
"Have you caught a cold, young master?" Jing Zhao suddenly became worried.
Chu Jinnian was thinking about spending a few more days in Qingzhu Garden to accompany Chu Jinzhou, so he rode back from Shouchun at full speed. He also traveled all night last night. Although it was a hot summer day, the dew was heavy. He passed through the mountains and forests last night, and the cold wind was so biting that Jing Zhao shivered a few times.
"It's okay." Chu Jinnian rubbed the wings of his nose, "I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere."
"But I did notice that there seemed to be some extra smell in this room. What kind of incense was used?"
"That's not the case." Jing Zhao replied, "I smelled the same odor when I entered the room, so I asked Butler Feng, and he said it was a mosquito repellent herbal bag that had just arrived from a cloth shop in the county town."
"yes."
Ning Feng, who had come into the room, took over the conversation, "The clothes and fabrics for the servants in the garden are all purchased from this cloth shop, so the shop owner specially sent a few of them, saying that if they find them useful, he would send more later. I placed the mosquito repellent herbal bag in the bedrooms of the eldest and third sons. It turns out that this herbal bag is indeed effective, and it is even more effective than the one sent from the capital before. I am thinking of asking the cloth shop for more later."
"The smell is quite soothing." Chu Jinnian turned a page of the book. "Has everything been peaceful here these days?"
"There is no problem in the garden. Since that incident, the lady in the capital seems to have stopped thinking about it and there has been no movement since then."
Ning Feng replied, "It is true that County Magistrate Xu came here once before, and he seemed to be here to ask how you are doing, but when he saw that you were not here, he did not stay."
"Because of the drowning incident in Cuiwei Lake, there was a rumor of water ghosts for a while, which made the people panic. Fortunately, County Magistrate Ding in the county sent people to clean up the mess a while ago, and the rumors gradually faded away."
"Because the water used for making tea in the garden is all spring water from Cuiwei Mountain, because of the rumors, I was considering whether to stop taking water from the spring out of consideration for the Third Young Master. Now I feel relieved about this matter."
"Oh?" Chu Jinnian suddenly became interested and put down the book in his hand.
"Rumors are the most difficult to dispel, especially rumors about ghosts and gods. County Magistrate Ding is really capable."
"The younger one thinks so, too."
Ning Feng scratched his ear and chuckled, "To be honest, sir, I went to see him specially at that time. County Magistrate Ding was very efficient and effective..."
