Awan sneered and said with a smile: "In the past, the bustling places in the capital were difficult to see, Lord Fang, but now this small shop on the northern border can make Lord Fang admire you. The world has changed so fast."
"Time changes, and people become faster." Fang Zilan answered lightly, and then asked Vice General Cao to leave the guards outside, and took the two of them into Jinxi Tower.
Sure enough, as soon as the three of them stepped into Jinxi Tower, the proprietress Huo Sanniang greeted them warmly, "Master Fang is finally here, but Sanniang has been looking forward to it for a long time."
Fang Zilan smiled slightly and followed Huo Sanniang upstairs, "Is it Sanniang who is expecting me to come, or is it someone else who is expecting me to come?"
"Master Fang knows things well." Huo Sanniang said as she made an invitation gesture and said respectfully: "The distinguished guest who is looking forward to Master Fang's arrival is waiting inside. Please invite me."
Fang Zilan asked Awan and Deputy General Cao to guard the door, while she walked around the screen in front of the door and, as expected, saw Wang Quanzhi sitting alone at the table.
So she stepped forward and said hello, "Master Wang, you are here very early."
When Wang Quanzhi saw Fang Zilan walking in, he stood up to greet him, "Isn't it the same with Mr. Fang?"
"Same, but different." There was something in Fang Zilan's words, and Wang Quanzhi looked stern, "Master Fang, we Ming people don't talk secretly. What is your purpose in Lingli and Lingyuan's marriage?"
"Oh?" Fang Zilan pretended to be surprised and smiled, "Did Mr. Wang find the person, or are you willing to admit that you hid the person?"
"Fang Zilan!" Wang Quanzhi glared angrily, "Today, there are rumors in Yanzhou City that the young masters of the Fang family and Ouyang family have come to propose marriage, and the ones they want to marry are Wang Lingli and Wang Lingyuan. Isn't that why you invited me here? For this matter?"
"Why is Mr. Wang so restless?" Fang Zilan sat down in front of the table, straightened his sleeves, and said softly: "I told you before, it's the beauty of adulthood, why doesn't Mr. Wang believe it?"
"Believe you? Who in the world doesn't know what kind of person you are, Fang Zilan?" Wang Quanzhi snorted coldly, "You stepped on the Shangguan family and climbed up. How vicious your thoughts and methods are. How can you be so kind and beautiful? Isn't it early? We have prepared a trap, just waiting for my Wang family to step into it."
"I don't like hearing what Mr. Wang said." Fang Zilan smiled instead of being angry, with a smile on the corner of her mouth revealing unspeakable sarcasm, "You say my thoughts and methods are vicious, how can Mr. Wang be any better than me? ? With the fall of Shangguan family, Master Wang has gained a lot of power, right? Why should he still act like a good boy after getting an advantage? Are there any clean ones among us who have climbed up? Master Wang is both responsible and established, it is really eye-opening. "
"You!" Wang Quanzhi jumped in anger, but he was worried that there was someone at the door, so he could only lower his voice and said viciously: "Since we are all the same, what is Mr. Fang's purpose, you might as well tell him."
"A raccoon dog of the same breed?" Fang Zilan took the wine bottle on the table and poured herself a glass of wine. Then she raised her head and looked at Wang Quanzhi, "Did Mr. Wang misunderstand something?"
She picked up the wine glass with an indescribably cold expression, "If I want to settle down in Yanzhou, I need Mr. Wang's help. What I did today is just a peach for you. If you repay it with a plum, it will be considered a sign of understanding." Current affairs. But if you think that you and I will be on the same page from now on, Mr. Wang is overthinking."
Wang Quanzhi smiled coldly, "Are you worthy of talking to me about reciprocating love?"
"I know Mr. Wang is a local snake in Yanzhou, and he is used to being domineering." Fang Zilan raised her eyes and glanced at Wang Quanzhi, who was standing with clenched fists, and smiled playfully, "But I also came prepared. I have all the old accounts of Shangguan Jing. If you can dig it out, Lord Wang, you might as well take a guess, how many of your old accounts have I dug up?"
Seeing that Wang Quanzhi was on the verge of breaking out, Fang Zilan stopped provoking, smiled and said in a deep voice: "Master Wang must not want to ruin the marriage, so I will tell you what I have to say. This time I will decide the engagement for the two Shangguan girls. , firstly, I pity the two of them, secondly, I don’t want to be enemies with Shangguan Jiu and Mr. Wang, and thirdly, I want the Fang family and Ouyang family to accept my favor as a matchmaker. I am alone in this Yanzhou city, and I am weak. It's hard to live alone, so you have to find more friends for yourself, right?"
"Master Fang is very thoughtful." Wang Quanzhi obviously didn't believe it, and Fang Zilan didn't care. "I can't say that I'm thoughtful, but standing in this position, I'm riding a tiger with no way out, so naturally I can only look forward."
Wang Quanzhi snorted coldly and sat down a few steps away from Fang Zilan, and said bluntly: "My Wang family accepts Mr. Fang's feelings today, but if he refuses to reciprocate his love in the future, will Mr. Fang have to break up?"
"Master Wang knows he won't, so why bother to ask?" Fang Zilan said, placing the wine he had just poured in front of Wang Quanzhi, "What's more, the days are long, and Master Wang will always reciprocate."
Wang Quanzhi glanced at the wine in front of him, raised his glass and drank it in one gulp, his expression a little indifferent, "Since Mr. Fang has already thought about it, we might as well talk about my daughter's marriage."
"There is no hurry about the marriage. We have to wait until the rightful owner arrives." Fang Zilan said, taking another wine glass, playing with it and saying lightly: "Speaking of which, I have never met Mr. Wang's two daughters. I don't know now. where?"
"Lingli and Lingyuan will come over when the time comes, but Mr. Fang and Mr. Ouyang invited by Mr. Fang..." Wang Quanzhi did not continue, Fang Zilan raised her eyebrows lightly, "Sir, if you have anything to say, you may as well say it directly."
Seeing Fang Zilan's unconscious look, Wang Quanzhi squeezed the wine glass a little tighter and said coldly: "Who is Fang Lihui? How can he marry the daughter of my Wang family?"
"Fang Lihui is the son of the Fang family, and his family background is not bad. What's wrong with marrying the daughter of your Wang family?" Fang Zilan avoided the important and pretended not to understand what Wang Quanzhi said.
Wang Quanzhi frowned slightly, "Everyone knows his reputation as a playboy. Why is Mr. Fang pretending to be confused with me here?"
Hearing this, Fang Zilan put the wine glass in her hand on the table, raised her eyes and looked at Wang Quanzhi in front of her, "Since Mr. Wang doesn't want to be confused, we might as well spread the word. With the current situation of two daughters, there is a family with a lot of money." It’s great if the young master is willing to propose marriage, doesn’t Mr. Wang know that clearly?”
"So what if it's clear?" Wang Quanzhi sighed, seemingly unwilling to accept it, "From the royal family to the common people, what parent doesn't want to find a good man for their children?"
"When getting married in aristocratic families, family status comes first, and appearance and temperament come last. I think Mr. Wang knows that." Fang Zilan's lips curled up slightly, "What's more, among the young masters and daughters from big families, who can't stand up to the stage and can't be called a beloved person? "
Wang Quanzhi's expression revealed an indescribable loneliness and dejection, "If Mr. Fang were asked to commit himself to a playboy like Fang Lihui today, would Mr. Fang still be able to say these words?"
