Right, since I had no idea, just want to share some #ZhouFan moments in the novel of #TheSleuthofMingDynasty based on which has read the novel. Kinda

in the novel, TangFan calls SuiZhou by his birth name, which is Sui GuangChuan - so he calls him guang chuan just like that all the time even early on in the novel. itâs not a standard practice unless youâre really close to the person. #TheSleuthofMingDynasty
In the novel, itâs definitely sui zhou who kind of falls for tang fan first. And unlike in the show, itâs not tang fan who went and asked sui zhou for a place to stay, but Sui Zhou Actually Offered his House
#TheSleuthofMingDynasty

Once, suizhou returns from some trip somewhere after the first case (they split the WuAnHouFu case apart from the crown princeâs playmateâs death case) and tang fan is looking for someone from the guards to help him out with something and thatâs when he bumps into SuiZhou again
and sui zhou is all ânext time if you cannot find me, find xue ling (the fatter dude in the show), and if not you can find pang qi (another young guy in the guards)â - and this guy immediately knows that tang fan is someone important to sui zhou? #TheSleuthofMingDynasty
because sui zhou so readily and unconditionally offered him to tang fan if the man needed him in the future - and tang fan is busy with a case too so heâs like âi canât stay and chat with you, iâll look for you another timeâ and sui zhou immediately goes, âtonight then.â

when he turns up at tang fanâs house, heâs there EARLY and with food, and tang fan also bought food in anticipation of sui zhou coming over, and then they sit down in the house and get to talking-
and thatâs when dong er interrupts them by telling them that her owner is going to sell her off, and she pleads with them to help her, and sui zhou simply asks tang fan, âyou want to buy her (contract)?â -
to which tang fan is like âyeah of course i do but how am i going to solve all these thingsâ - and sui zhou just nods and goes, âdonât worry about this, iâll take care of it.-
what about your home? after you buy her contract over, her owner isnât going to let you stay here for any longerâ, and tang fan shrugs and goes like thereâre lots of houses around it should be okay etc. and sui zhou is like, âi have a house.â
tang fan is like âbut i donât want to disturb you and your wife, and stuff, sui zhou is like âno wife, no female servant in the house for a casual thing on the side eitherâ and so tang fan is like okay you can cook sure iâll move in!! #TheSleuthofMingDynasty
and when he does sui zhou takes in dong er too like in the show, and then sometime after, sui zhou finds out about tang fan writing dumbass romance novels and heâs totally like -_-Â âyouâre an officialâ
TangFan is like âhey we all need a secondary source of income okay? with my current salary i canât do muchâ and sui zhou, TELLS HIM THAT HE WILL GIVE HIM HIS MONEY?!!! just like that. #TheSleuthofMingDynasty
tang fan jokingly says âokay then next time i dont have any more cash iâm taking money from youâ and sui zhou simply nods, âokay.â so yeah, thats how easy TangFan is to take Dage's money bag
