Chapter 166 Daily Life at the Fan Family's Old House

Zhan Doudou's carriage was stopped by someone not long after entering the city.

When Haitang Duoduo saw the excitement, she immediately ran out of the car regardless of Zhan Doudou's attempt to stop her.

"Why, in broad daylight, you guys in Danzhou are still going to forcibly seize a woman from the people?"

His wife and son were kidnapped, and Haitang Duoduo couldn't wait to see Fan Bin's face.

After hearing what Haitang Duoduo said, the red knights who had stopped the carriage all fell to their knees.

"Welcome, Madam, back home!"

Are you kidding? They are here to greet you.

If Fan Bin knew about this and caused such a big misunderstanding, he would definitely punish them when he got back.

Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, Haitang Duoduo returned to the carriage in disappointment.

"It's boring, don't you think? Xiao Ruogu..."

Haitang Duoduo continued to tease Ruogu.

Zhan Doudou frowned.

Although Zhan Doudou deliberately concealed her identity along the way, she still had someone protecting her, and they were her confidants.

Zhan Doudou was useless to any of the people Fan Jian sent to her.

As the young emperor of Northern Qi, she had her dignity.

This also means that there is no one from the Fan family around her.

But as soon as they entered the city, people from the Fan family came to greet them.

What does this mean?
This means that either they have spies around them?
This possibility is almost non-existent.

Even if the people who were secretly protecting Zhan Doudou didn't find out, Haitang Duoduo would definitely find out.

As one of the rare ninth-grade masters in the world, Haitang Duoduo's insight is unmatched by ordinary people.

It's almost impossible to hide it from her.

Not to mention that as a ninth-rank master, he has an extremely strong ability to sense danger.

But Haitang Duoduo said nothing...

"Then there is only one other possibility. The Fan family's control over the entire Danzhou has reached an incredible level."

So, as soon as the crabapple blossoms appeared.

The Fan family immediately came to greet them...

"Let's go!"

This matter is complicated to explain, and it only lingered in Zhan Doudou's mind for a moment.

In an instant she figured it all out and made her choice.

When a dozen or so Tiger Guards found out that their young lady was not angry, they all felt as if they had been pardoned.

This is so scary!
The white sweat on their bodies was all broken out by fear.

Fortunately, their young lady is reasonable and not as difficult to deal with as a certain eccentric saint.

Otherwise, when they return to the Fan family, they really don’t know how to explain to their young master?
Zhan Doudou and Haitang Duoduo, under the protection of the red knight, came all the way to the Fan family.

Along the way, people pointed and talked.

Although these people don’t know who is coming to the Fan family this time?

But one thing they are clear about.

That’s the person in the carriage, he must be an important person!
Otherwise, the Fan family would never send the Red Knight to escort this person.

When the carriage entered the Fan Mansion, Haitang Duoduo and Zhan Doudou heard a fierce fight inside.

In other words, a certain master is being beaten unilaterally.

"Why are you so heavy-handed? When your wife and children come, you can't go to pick them up in person? Do you want me, an old woman, to go pick them up? Do you know any etiquette?"

The one being beaten is Fan Bin, the youngest grandmaster in the world.

Fan Bin looked a little embarrassed.

The one who was beating him with a cane was a gray-haired old woman. The old woman was already in her sixties, but she still looked sharp and showed no mercy when she beat her grandson.

The powerful Grandmaster Fan Bin not only did not dare to hide, but was also afraid of hurting the old lady.

That's pitiful.

"Don't blame me, I just came back from the beach, I'm dirty, how can I welcome you?"

Fan Bin went to practice at sea.

Now that his mentality has stabilized again, Fan Bin naturally dare not waste time.

Before the Dadongshan event, Fan Bin’s requirement for himself was to improve as much as possible.

Although we don't force it, we must never slack off.

If he didn't have such character and persistence, considering Fan Bin's talent, it would be absolutely impossible for him to cultivate to his current level?

Perhaps after reaching the ninth rank, it would be difficult for Fan Bin to make any progress.

After returning from training, Fan Bin's body was already wet by the sea water as he passed by the beach again.

There was sand on his shoes and legs.

Just at this moment, the tiger guard came running to report that Haitang Duoduo had entered the city.

Haitang Duoduo is here, are his wife and son still far away?

Fan Bin also wanted to greet him.

But it was really difficult to face Zhan Doudou and Xiao Ruogu with this dirty image.

Fan Bin asked the Tiger Guards to go and meet them and bring them back, so that the two of them would not be unable to find the address of the Fan family's old house.

He went to wash up.

It wouldn't take a grown man long to take a shower and change his clothes.

As soon as Fan Bin finished cleaning up, the old lady ran out.

Apparently, Mrs. Fan also got the news and came out specifically to pick up her great-grandson and his wife.

Before she saw the person, Mrs. Fan saw Fan Bin alone, standing there calmly, as if nothing had happened.

The old lady felt the anger in her heart bubbling up. She hit Fan Bin with the cane without mercy.

Anyway, her grandson has been strong since he was young, so he is not afraid of being beaten...

Fan Bin could understand the old man's feelings.

It is a tradition of the Fan family to show enough respect to the daughter-in-law who is married into the family.

But he was really wronged!
More wronged than Dou E...

But there was nothing he could do. The old man wouldn't reason with him at all and just took action directly.

Fan Bin could only swallow his grievances and accept the beating from the old man.

Haitang Duoduo and Zhan Doudou happened to see this scene as soon as they walked in.

Haitang Duoduo's eyes lit up.

She returned to the carriage, took out the melon seeds, and in order to watch the show more conveniently, she did a backflip and jumped onto the roof of the carriage, sitting cross-legged on the roof in an ungraceful manner.

"Old Madam, calm down. Don't let your anger get you in trouble..."

While eating melon seeds and watching the show, he didn't forget to add fuel to the fire.

Mrs. Fan was about to stop when she saw the guests coming.

Hearing this, he immediately regained his spirit and chased after Fan Bin.

"Grandma, you hit me so hard!"

A grandmother in her sixties or seventies could still teach him. In a way, Fan Bin was lucky.

Zhan Doudou got off the carriage late and happened to hear Fan Bin say this. He burst out laughing.

When she saw Zhan Doudou and the child in her arms, Mrs. Fan's eyes softened.

"Granddaughter-in-law, meet your grandmother!!"

Zhan Doudou held little Ruogu in his arms and bowed to Old Madam Fan.

"This is what the granddaughter-in-law prepared for grandma. I wonder if it suits your taste?"

Zhan Doudou had obviously put in a lot of effort. Knowing that Mrs. Fan loved reading, she specially prepared an ancient book.

"Why did you spend that much money, kid?"

Old Madam Fan was not ignorant; she naturally knew the value of this ancient book.

This kind of ancient book can be treated as a family heirloom in the hands of aristocratic families.

Once it is released, the price will often be outrageous.

"As long as grandma likes it!"

Zhan Doudou chuckled and lifted up Xiao Ruogu.

“Xiao Ruogu, come and pay respect to the ancestor!”

Mrs. Fan's eyes had long been attracted by this cute little girl. It was just that the granddaughter-in-law saw her for the first time and presented her with filial respect.

The old lady was really rude and offended her grandson's wife.

Now, I finally have a great-grandson.

"This little guy looks just like his dad when he was a kid!"

Fan Bin lived in Danzhou when he was a child.

The old lady definitely has a say.

Seeing Xiao Ruogu, the old lady immediately said.

"No, I was this ugly when I was a kid?"

Fan Bin was joking on the side.

The old lady swung her crutch again without hesitation.

"roll!"

The old lady of the Fan family has always been aloof and rarely expresses herself like this.

"This is a gift from your grandmother. It's for the third birthday, the full month, the newborn, and the first birthday..."

Although Fan Bin did not mention it, the old lady had obviously guessed part of the truth.

Although his granddaughter-in-law was enshrined in the Fan family's ancestral hall, there was no public ceremony.

Given Fan Bin’s status, if he held a wedding, it would cause a sensation throughout the Qing Kingdom.

Even the whole world will be shocked.

It couldn't be so silent.

The old lady prepared a lot in advance, not only small items like gold locks and jade bracelets, but also the property that the old lady would keep for herself.

“Grandma, Xiao Ruogu is not short of money!”

The old lady's preference for little Ruogu was so strong that even Fan Bin, her biological father, couldn't stand it.

After all, it was a bit embarrassing for him to take money from an old man.

It feels like being a parasite.

If you don't have the ability, or are temporarily incapable, you will just have to rely on your parents for support.

There is really no need for Fan Bin now.

Even if Madam Fan didn't need it, she wanted to divide her property in advance.

Fan Bin has two younger brothers and a younger sister.

He can't keep it all to himself!

"Don't worry!"

In the past, when Old Madam Fan looked at Fan Bin, she always liked him...

But now, the old lady felt uncomfortable looking at Fan Bin.

She simply threw Fan Bin aside, holding Xiao Ruogu with one hand and Zhan Doudou with the other.

Zhan Doudou has a mother, although outsiders say that the conflict between the young emperor of Northern Qi and the queen mother of Northern Qi is very deep.

But in fact, it is not like that at all.

This was just a method deliberately designed by the mother and daughter to deal with the powerful people of Northern Qi.

The relationship between mother and daughter is real and very good.

But no matter how good their relationship is, it is difficult for the mother and daughter, who are from royal families and have to act, to get close to each other.

When Mrs. Fan first grabbed Zhan Doudou's hand, Zhan Doudou felt embarrassed.

But soon, she got used to the warmth and closeness.

When they were in the Fan Mansion in Kyoto, Fan Jian and Aunt Liu were also very kind to Zhan Doudou. But given their status, they obviously couldn't treat Zhan Doudou as their own granddaughter like Old Madam Fan did.

"You must be fine. If you have any difficulties, go to Fan Bin. Although this guy is not good enough, he still has some ability..."

Haitang Duoduo, who was originally sitting on the roof of the carriage, jumped down from the roof when she saw that there was nothing exciting to watch.

Hearing what the old lady said, Haitang Duoduo nodded repeatedly.

"That is, that is."

Don’t underestimate the old lady’s teachings to Fan Bin. Every time she teaches, she hits the mark.

But only this old lady can do this.

If someone else dared to target Fan Bin like this, his grave would be overgrown with grass.

Whether it is the little emperor of Northern Qi, Zhan Doudou, or her, Haitang Duoduo.

Fan Bin’s help will be indispensable in the future.

Now with the old lady of the Fan family's golden words, Haitang Duoduo feels that she can be more justified in looking for Fan Bin in the future.

Ever since meeting the old lady, Zhan Doudou and Haitang Duoduo felt like they had found their family.

I talk to the old lady every day.

The old lady of the Fan family was not a talkative person. She liked to read books and analyze the situation in the court on weekdays.

Although there is no place for it, it does not prevent the old man from preparing.

The rest is the housekeeper.

Originally, the old lady was very used to this kind of life.

Even when Fan Bin and Fan Xian were in the Fan family's old house, the old lady's life rhythm was not disrupted.

At most, I would give the two children some advice during dinner.

But since Zhan Doudou and Haitang Duoduo came, everything changed.

The two little girls became the old lady's confidants, and Ruogu acted as a lubricant.

The relationship between the three of them has skyrocketed, and they have already started playing the leaf card.

Of course, Fan Bin lived with Zhan Doudou during this period.

But his most important task is not to accompany his wife, but to accompany his son.

Fan Bin had nowhere else to go, so he took Xiao Ruogu directly to the beach to experience extreme sea surfing.

The surfboard for surfing was made from a piece of wood that Fan Bin found and carved with a sword.

Qualified or not is not important.

Anyway, this surfboard is just a decoration most of the time. Fan Bin mainly used Qinggong to rush into the sea.

Even without a surfboard, Fan Bin can now perform Qinggong just by stepping on the water.

This is different from flying in the sky. A short flight in the sky does consume true energy.

But the skill of floating on water relies more on body movements and the ability to control force.

Of course, true Qi is also needed, but the consumption is very low.

After rushing for two hours in a row, little Ruogu's face turned pale and he croaked excitedly.

When the father and son returned to the Fan Mansion, Old Madam Fan immediately noticed something strange about little Ruogu.

"Why are the child's clothes wet?"

When he first started surfing, Fan Bin used his true energy to knock away all the waves.

But in that case, Xiao Ruogu would not have any experience in the sea and would almost yawn.

Fan Bin felt that this was not a good idea, as the child would suffer a great loss by going out to play like this.

So he only removed most of it, leaving a little for the child to get used to it.

The waves hit my face, feeling cold.

Little Ruogu was indeed excited. He opened his little hands and waved them non-stop, looking very excited.

"I took the kids to play on the sea for a while."

As soon as Fan Bin said this, the old lady and Zhan Doudou's eyes turned red.

"They say men are unreliable, and that's true."

"How old is the child? How dare you take him to the beach? The sea breeze is so cold, what if he catches a cold?"

Hearing Zhan Doudou's complaints, Haitang Duoduo added fuel to the fire.

"This is not the sea breeze. Don't you see that the child's clothes are wet? His hair is wet too! He must have taken a bath in the sea..."

In ancient times, colds could really be fatal.

"It's okay. Even if you really catch a cold, don't be afraid. Just use your true qi to force the cold poison out."

Fan Bin disagrees.

But Madam Fan and Zhan Doudou already had the idea of ​​beating someone.
