Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 61: Fan Mansion Family Banquet, Emperor Qing’s Gift

When Liu Hong followed Fan Jian to Fan's house.

Aunt Liu, who still had her charm, came up to them with a smile. When she saw Liu Hong, she was stunned at first, and then her smile became even more intense.

"Master Liu is here too! Master, you didn't even tell me, and you haven't prepared anything."

Fan Jian looked at his wife speechlessly.

"Today is a family dinner."

Liu's guess was confirmed, and she became even more enthusiastic towards Liu Hong.

For Liu, it doesn’t matter who marries Fan Ruoruo, as long as he is not a person of low character.

The important thing is that Fan Ruoruo, who has always been on Fan Xian's side, got married, and Fan Xian was not included in the family tree.

Sooner or later, the Fan family business will belong to Versace.

Versace was holding an abacus in the distance, grinning foolishly. When he saw Liu Hong coming, his eyes lit up.

"Hello, brother-in-law..."

The look of the deal being done made Liu's face twitch.

Fan Jian had a stern face and didn't want to pay any attention to this useless son.

Liu Hong actually understands Versace quite well.

Ever since he came to Kyoto, he has been helping Versace make money, and he also helped Versace out of trouble at Yishiju.

If that were all, Versace would at most think that Liu Hong was a nice person, but not worthy of his sister.

But who can blame Liu Hong for the fact that he now holds military power and is a rising star in the court?

In Kyoto, for Versace, there is no better brother-in-law than Liu Hong.

Fan Ruoruo walked out from the study, her every smile, frown and gesture were all consistent with that of a lady from a noble family.

The talented lady of Kyoto is indeed worthy of her reputation.

"You two can chat first. The meal will be ready later. I will go to the study to take care of some official business."

Fan Jian winked at Liu and then walked away.

Versace was about to move closer, but Liu grabbed her silly son and hurried away.

With her relatives present, Fan Ruoruo could still remain calm, but now that they were alone, her earlobes couldn't help but turn red.

Fortunately, this is an open-air courtyard, otherwise Fan Ruoruo would be very worried.

"Miss Ruoruo, don't be nervous. If you really don't want to abide by the engagement, even if you have to give up my official position, I will ask His Majesty to cancel the engagement. It's just that this will not be good for your reputation."

This sentence is complete bullshit, it is purely to comfort Fan Ruoruo.

How could Liu Hong give up all his official positions to cancel the engagement?

Fan Ruoruo also understood this, and she chuckled and looked at Liu Hong very seriously.

"My brother said that two people have to like each other before they can get married."

Well, this is very Fan Xian.

At the beginning, Fan Xian almost broke off the engagement and gave up the financial power of the inner treasury because he wanted to avoid an arranged marriage and did not want to marry a woman he did not like.

Liu Hong sat in the courtyard, as if he were the owner, and poured himself a cup of tea.

Liu Hong hasn't drunk a sip of water since the grand court meeting began today. Going to court is really not a human thing to do.

"Ms. Ruoruo, do you think what Fan Xian said is definitely right?"

"Of course, if two people don't like each other, they won't be happy together."

Fan Ruoruo spoke very seriously. She had been brainwashed by Fan Xian with the thoughts of a time traveler since she was a child, so she believed in Fan Xian's words without a doubt.

Liu Hong was silent for a while, then spoke softly.

"What Fan Xian said makes sense, but it's not absolute. After all, there are only a few people in the world who love each other."

Fan Ruoruo sat opposite Liu Hong, somewhat confused.

"My uncle and Liu probably didn't love each other at the beginning. Can you say they were unhappy these years?"

"Everyone loves beauty. Men like beautiful women, and women like handsome men. This is normal! But how many people in the world can get what they want?"

Speaking of this, Liu Hong couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

The TV version of Fan Xian is a typical college student who yearns for love and has not been beaten by society.

The novel version of Fan Xian is so good, he is not picky about anything! He accepts all beauties as long as they come.

Fan Xian's moral judgment on love is rare even in the 21st century. Either through blind dates or introductions by family and friends, if you like the person and don't dislike him/her, you get married.

Before Liu Hong traveled through time, he had always liked the class beauty and had been pursuing her for three years! He was young and frivolous and swore that he would never marry her.

In the end, the class beauty got into a BMW and married the young and rich guy.

Liu Hong is just going to muddle through and not talk about being lonely for the rest of his life.

Fan Ruoruo really wanted to refute Liu Hong.

But after Liu Hong's clearing of the fog, I had to admit that Liu Hong was right.

If I break off the engagement, and find someone I like in a few years, what if he doesn't like me?
Thinking of this, Fan Ruoruo suddenly felt less resistant to her engagement with Liu Hong.

"Sister, brother-in-law!"

Versace came out quietly and spoke in a low voice.

"Ms. Ruoruo, please!"

"Master Liu, please too."

Liu Hong and Fan Ruoruo were both very polite and respected each other, and they maintained a perfect state of mind.

Fan Xian had just received his official uniform from the Taichang Temple and returned to the Fan Mansion. He saw his most beloved sister chatting and laughing with Liu Hong.

For a moment, Fan Xian felt like the sky was falling.

Fortunately, it was Fan Xian who was better at talking than fighting in the first season.

If Fan Xian witnessed the death of Old Golden Head and the destruction of Shijia Town in the second season, he would probably want to kill Liu Hong directly after seeing this moment.

At the dinner table, Liu Hong openly picked up food for Fan Ruoruo.

Fan Ruoruo hesitated for a while, then picked up a piece of meat and put it into Liu Hong's bowl.

Fan Jian just felt that the food in his mouth was no longer fragrant and the taste was not right.

I don’t know whether it was because the cabbages I raised were eaten by the pigs, or because I saw my future self and Liu.

"Liu Hong, the peace negotiation delegation from Northern Qi and Dongyi will arrive tomorrow. His Majesty will probably assign you to be in charge of protecting the delegation's safety."

Fan Jian started a conversation and Fan Xian also raised his head.

Uncle Wuzhu recently said that he was looking for something in the palace. Maybe this is an opportunity.

"Originally this is a matter for Kyoto Prefecture, but the governor of Kyoto Prefecture has not yet been decided, so it should be handled by the Ministry of War."

Liu Hong hesitated for a moment and nodded, not knowing what Fan Jian wanted to say.

After being involved in intrigue for so long, Liu Hong was afraid that he would be cheated even at the Fan family dinner.

Fan Jian kindly reminded Liu Hong.

"Dongyi City is a place of wealth and order in the world. Although Si Gu Jian from Dongyi City sent his first disciple Yun Zhilan here, we cannot neglect it."

As expected of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, every word he says is about money.

Aren’t you, Liu Hong, short of money to suppress the bandits in Qianlong Bay?
Dongyi City is rich, so if you extort them a little, as long as it's not too excessive, Dongyi City will give them the money even if they don't want to.

Liu Hong looked at Fan Jian gratefully.

When it comes to increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, Fan Jian is among the top three in the world!
Although Shi Chanli in his own mansion is also good, he has too few training platforms and is not as experienced as Fan Jian.

Seeing that Liu Hong understood what he meant, Fan Jian stroked his beard proudly and laughed.

Just thinking of something, Fan Jian's face darkened again.

"You can just look at the little box that His Majesty gave you. I gave you a gift, so of course His Majesty will give you a gift as well."

Fan Ruoruo was a little curious and looked at the small box that Liu Hong had casually placed on the table.

The emperor, who was high above everyone else, valued Liu Hong so much that just transferring him to the same level and making him the right vice minister was already a great favor.

Now giving gifts!
Versace chuckled, his eyes almost shaped like money.

"Brother-in-law, do you have any gold, silver or jewelry? But he seems a bit stingy. How much can such a small box hold?"

"boom!"

Fan Jian patted the table.

"Have a meal……"

Versace was like an ostrich, shrinking his head and not daring to jump out and speak again.
