My Lord, my wife said she doesn't have time to talk to you.

Chapter 112 Visiting

Huaying's heart trembled when she heard his words. Fu Shiyan actually returned to Beijing! Will he come to the mansion tomorrow?

She couldn't help but ask nervously, "Did father agree?"

I saw my second brother gently blowing away the hot steam on the surface of the teacup, and then took a sip of the hot tea elegantly.

He looked at his younger sister helplessly and said, "He is the person father has been looking for, not to mention he is your savior. Do you think father can refuse?"

Huaying was slightly startled when she heard this, then her gaze slowly turned to the window, looking at the snowflakes flying in the sky, and a faint blush appeared on her originally fair cheeks.

Shen Nanxing glanced at her little sister's shy face, coughed twice, then regained her serious look and continued, "Fu Shiyan came here this time, probably on the one hand to thank his father for helping him with the imperial examination; on the other hand... I guess it has something to do with you~"

Huaying couldn't help but feel shy when she heard that, but she pretended to be calm and replied, "What does it have to do with me?"

Her eyes were always on the falling snowflakes, with a barely perceptible smile on the corner of her mouth.

Shen Nanxing rolled her eyes at her younger sister and said earnestly, "Before you like him, first see if he is interested in you. Girls should be more reserved. Let him propose to you. Remember? He is proposing to you."

Hearing the second brother emphasize the word "ask", Huaying looked seriously at the second brother who was afraid of being at a disadvantage, "I know. Thank you, second brother."

When Shen Nanxing heard him say thank you, he quickly responded, "Stop it, why are you saying thank you to my second brother? But then again, the Youcheng Mansion is not as good as it used to be. If this kid is really capable, it will be easier to convince my parents."

Then he continued, "A family with a daughter is sought after by hundreds of families. Most girls' marriages are arranged before they reach the age of 15. You should be more careful. I will also help you meet him tomorrow."

Huaying nodded obediently, thought for a while and said, "If possible, I don't want to get married at all. I just want to be the daughter of the Shen family, do business to make money and then travel around."

Shen Nanxing reached out and touched Huaying's forehead, and said suspiciously, "You don't have a fever, why are you talking nonsense? If you continue like this, you will be removed from the family tree. Let me tell you, will getting married hinder you from making money in business?"

Huaying smiled slightly and responded playfully: "Then why don't you listen to mother and start a family and career sooner?"

Shen Nanxing raised a sly smile and replied slyly: "Haha, that's because your awesome sister-in-law didn't show up!"

The brother and sister continued to chat for a while before Shen Nanxing got up and left Molan Pavilion.

The next morning, the sky cleared after the snow. The snow on the streets of Chang'an had been cleared by hardworking merchants, revealing a wide road. A low-key and luxurious carriage drove slowly on the road, the wheels pressing over the snow, making a creaking sound.

In the carriage, Fu Shiyan, dressed in a black robe, sat upright. He had a cloud-patterned belt of the same color tied around his waist, and a piece of black jade of extremely fine quality hung on his left side.

He was wearing a black cloak, which made his face look even more handsome and noble.

However, his occasional coughing revealed a hint of illness...

Fu Shiyan recalled what his father said before he died: "Go find... Zuo Cheng." And is the person marked with stars on the secret book Zuo Cheng? He needs to slowly unravel all these mysteries...

Just as his thoughts were drifting, Fu Feng's voice came from outside the car: "Master, we have arrived at the Shen Mansion."

Fu Shiyan nodded slightly, responded, then lifted the curtain and got off the carriage gracefully.

The old housekeeper who had been waiting at the gate of the mansion stared at the young man who was getting off the carriage. He saw that he was tall and straight with bright eyes. He caught a glimpse of the golden "Fu" character on the lantern hanging on the side of the carriage and realized that this man was the legendary Erlang of the Fu family. He hurriedly smiled and greeted him, bowed his head and said, "Mr. Fu, you are here. The master and the mistress have been waiting for a long time. Please follow me."

After saying that, he led Fu Shiyan into the mansion.

Fu Shiyan nodded slightly and followed the old man into the yard slowly.

Fu Feng carried the gift and followed his master closely.

At this time, not only Shen's father and mother were in the hall, but also the eldest brother and the second brother. Even the eldest sister-in-law, who was resting and taking care of her pregnancy, sat on the side of Shen Nanting, wanting to catch a glimpse of her younger sister's benefactor.

Fu Shiyan followed the butler to the hall and bowed respectfully to Prime Minister Shen and his wife. Fu Feng handed the gift he brought to the old butler.

Upon seeing this, Prime Minister Shen hurriedly stood up, personally helped Fu Shiyan up, and said, "Nephew, there is no need to be so polite. I would like to thank you for saving my daughter Huaying!"

Then he added with a smile: "Last time I saw you, you were still a little kid, now you have grown into a handsome young man! Come on, come on, please take a seat."

The lady smiled as she watched him sit down and said softly, "I heard from Huaying that you have a special liking for Biluochun. Try the tea to see if it tastes to your liking."

When Fu Shiyan heard Huaying's name, he felt tenderness in his heart. He picked up the cup of tea on the coffee table, took a sip, and praised: "The warm cup of tea is fragrant, it can be called a good tea."

Mother Shen looked at Fu Shiyan carefully with loving eyes, and a satisfied expression appeared on her face.

Father Shen asked with concern: "The imperial examination system has been changed this year. This is a rare opportunity for young talents like you. I wonder if you have contacted the academy when you go to Beijing this time?"

Fu Shiyan responded respectfully: "Thank you for your concern, uncle. Before I returned to the capital, my brother had already found a teacher at Qingshan Academy and successfully passed the entrance examination. He has been studying there for some time."

Father Shen stroked his originally short beard and said with emotion: "Qingshan Academy has a long reputation and has always provided excellent talents for the court. Nanting and Nanxing also received the master's teachings there.

Anyone who can enter Qingshan Academy must have a profound academic background. My nephew is truly talented!"

However, before Fu Shiyan could reply, Shen Nanxing couldn't wait to ask, "Is Brother Fu proficient in martial arts?"

Fu Shiyan nodded modestly and replied, "I know a little bit."

Hearing this, Shen Nanxing stood up excitedly and said enthusiastically: "In this case, can I have a competition with Brother Fu today?"

Seeing this, Shen's mother quickly stopped him: "Xing'er, don't be rude! This is Shi Yan's first visit, how can you let him fight with you?"

Fu Shiyan raised his lips slightly and said softly, "Don't worry, Auntie. I think Brother Shen is also a martial arts lover! That's great. I just happen to want to stretch my muscles."

At this moment, Huaying was hiding quietly behind the screen, listening carefully to every word in the pavilion in front. When she heard that Fu Shiyan wanted to compete with her second brother, she not only frowned, but also wondered that he knew martial arts.
