"What's a proposal?" Fan Sizhe looked at his sister for help.
Fan Ruoruo blinked and explained, "It's what you're going to do. It's very simple."
Fan Sizhe nodded. Ever since he was a child, he had set a grand goal in his heart. That was why he was able to work hard on these things.
Fan Sizhe's dream was to become the second richest family in the world, the Ye family! But at the time, he didn't know that his brother, who encouraged him, had anything to do with the Ye family.
A nanny took Fan Sizhe to wash up. Only the brother and sister were left in the Reception Hall. Fan Xian walked out in silence, and Ruoruo followed quietly. The brother and sister tacitly walked along the winding corridor. Just as they were about to reach Ruoruo's boudoir, they stopped at the edge of the shallow pool.
Ruoruo was the first to speak. "I know there shouldn't be a hierarchy, but I feel that if Zhe really wants to walk that path, it will be very difficult."
Fan Xian smiled and shook his head. "A society with people has its own hierarchy. I've told you this before. There's no need to change anything. But the problem is, we can admit that this kind of thing exists, but there's no need to change our own hearts because of its existence. "
Fan Ruoruo opened her eyes wide and looked at her brother curiously. "What's your heart?"
"It's not the Dao that those swindlers talk about." Fan Xian patted his chest. "It's just a simple literal meaning. Your heart is … what do you want?"
He continued, "Everyone only has one life. How should we spend this one life? When we look back on the past, we won't regret the wasted years, and we won't be ashamed of our mediocrity. Before I die, I can proudly say: I've done everything I wanted to do. Even if I didn't succeed, I've tried. "
Fan Ruoruo stared at Fan Xian's face with a look of admiration.
"I didn't say that," Fan Xian explained awkwardly. "Someone called Ostrovsky said it."
"That's a strange name … it's like someone from the other side of the sea."
"Not bad, but I changed the last part. After all, I'm not a noble person. My vision is only focused on the three years ahead and the three miles ahead."
"So … if Zhe 'er likes it, then let him work hard. That way, he won't regret it in the future. That's how he acts according to his heart," Fan Ruoruo said thoughtfully.
Fan Xian continued his words and said, "People have to survive. If they can find a way to support themselves, and this method is where their interests lie, this is a relatively ideal state of survival."
"Understood." Fan Ruoruo smiled like a blooming flower.
Fan Xian smiled. "Perhaps you haven't noticed the look on Sizhe's face when he's calculating. That look reminds me of a saying: 'Serious people are the most beautiful.'"
Fan Ruoruo giggled, thinking that her brother's appearance could be called beautiful?
Fan Xian sternly lectured, "Don't laugh. In this aspect, you really can't compare to him. At least he clearly knows what he wants in this life, but what about you? Even though the people of the capital call you a talented girl, what do you really want to do? The path of poetry is not a small path. If you really want to put your heart into it, you need to be serious and diligent. Don't just treat it as a pastime. "
Fan Ruoruo lowered her head and accepted the lecture. She felt warmth in the depths of her heart. She thought that in the past, these questions and answers between teacher and student, had finally become a reality. How happy was that? Moonlight shone down from above, and when it passed through the shallow pond, it shone on the corners of the corridor. Fan Xian's face happened to be shrouded in the light, and his already beautiful face became even more delicate.
"Brother is the most beautiful," Fan Ruoruo looked at him and said in a low voice.
Fan Xian didn't hear what she said. Thinking about the scene in the Flower Hall, he was a little lost in thought. He said to himself, "I hope this house can be quieter. I hope Lady Liu is smart enough not to disappoint me."

…
Just as the two of them were about to part, Fan Xian suddenly thought of the white-clothed girl he had met in the Temple of Qing at dusk. Full of anticipation, he described her appearance, thinking that the girl was obviously the daughter of a very wealthy family in the capital. His sister often visited the back gardens of the manors of the nobility in the capital, so he should know something about her.
But after hearing her brother's description, Fan Ruoruo had no clue. She giggled and asked, "Where did you meet the fairy? Even your soul was taken away. "
In her mind, her brother had always been a teacher who was far more mature than his age. This was the first time she had seen him with a disappointed expression on his face, and she couldn't help but be curious about the white-clothed girl. Fan Xian smiled bitterly. "If even you don't know her, then it looks like I really won't be able to find her." Although he said this, his heart was firm. He knew that one day, he would meet that girl again … eating a chicken drumstick.
He suddenly thought of something, and his heart trembled.
A stick of candied hawthorn had led him to the Temple of Qing, where he had always wanted to go, and then he had seen that girl. These coincidences made him believe in the word "fate". His heart was filled with great anticipation, and he said excitedly, "Do you think … it's possible that she is … the young lady of the Lin family?"
Fan Ruoruo frowned. "I've never seen the young lady of the Lin family. After all, her identity is a bit, a bit … "She looked at her brother and said carefully," … a bit inconvenient, so very few people know what she looks like. But occasionally, some news comes from the young lady of the Ye family. It's said that the two of them are bosom buddies, and very close. "
"The young lady of the Ye family?" Hearing the word "Ye" now, Fan Xian instinctively felt nervous.
"The daughter of Ye Zhong, the commander of the capital's garrison, Ye Ling 'er." Fan Ruoruo asked curiously. "What's wrong?"
Fan Xian smiled, thinking of the first day he had entered the capital, when he had seen the girl on the horse. If he could find her, he wasn't afraid of losing any clues. But Fan Ruoruo thought for a moment, then said, "But I'm guessing that the girl you met today is definitely not the young lady of the Lin family, so even if I ask Ye Ling 'er, it won't be of any use."
"Why are you so sure?" Fan Xian had always hoped that the plot of a romance novel would come true for him. Hearing this now, he couldn't help but be surprised.
