Fang Zilan smiled calmly, "I am not them, they have no choice, but I will not fall into this situation. Otherwise, Mr. Wang, why do you think I worked so hard to get to this position?"
Wang Quanzhi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud as if he heard something funny, "I didn't expect Master Fang to have such a young mind. He always thought that he could control everything in the world if he stood tall. Even the one in the Qiankun Palace is probably not as happy as he wants. Don’t you know, Mr. Fang, that the more you get, the fewer choices you have?"
Fang Zilan smiled nonchalantly, "Choosing something is inherently difficult. If it wasn't difficult, how could we call it a choice? But today we don't have a choice."
"What Mr. Fang said is that you and I are in the same boat today, so it's better to help each other in the same boat." After Wang Quanzhi finished speaking, he took a deep look at Fang Zilan and heard a sudden excitement outside the door.
Awan led the three young masters in and bowed respectfully, "Master Fang, Mr. Wang, the three young masters are here."
"Thank you, girl." The leader, Fang Lihui, nodded sternly at Awan, then turned to look at Fang Zilan and Wang Quanzhi, who were already seated, "Fang Lihui has met these two adults."
Ouyang Juncheng and Fang Yuhan followed closely and also bowed. Fang Zilan waved slightly to indicate that they did not need to be polite. Wang Quanzhi also nodded and said, "Young masters, there is no need to be polite." Then he called the Wang family's servants to invite the two ladies. A narration.
Fang Zilan said nothing, but just watched Wang Quanzhi chat with the three of them.
She was here to watch a show and watch a ceremony, so she just ate and drank. Occasionally someone would bring something up to her and she would just chat for a while, which was considered leisurely and contented.
The folk customs in Beijing are relatively open, and the requirements for women are not very strict. Unmarried women can date men when accompanied by elders at home. Fang Zilan knows this.
But she thought that the senior member of the royal family was Wang Quanzhi, but she didn't expect that it was the old lady of the Wang family who appeared in front of everyone with two girls.
Fang Zilan was a little surprised immediately, but she concealed it well and respectfully went forward to greet the old lady and salute, "Fang Zilan has seen Mrs. Wang and asked how she is."
The old lady of the Wang family is Wang Quanzhi's biological mother and is also the current mistress of the Wang family. She is dressed in a crimson dress and looks quite elegant. Her gray hair is neatly pinned by two jade hairpins. Her face is slightly thin, with various wrinkles on her face. One, but can't hide his severity.
A pair of sharp eyes makes her appear energetic and energetic, which is slightly different from Fang Zilan's imagination of a well-rounded and pampered aristocratic lady. But her intuition told her that this old lady was probably not a fuel-efficient lamp.
When Mrs. Wang saw Fang Zilan coming forward to salute, she did not shy away from excuses. She accepted her gift gracefully and said with a smile: "Master Fang has a noble status and still respects the elderly, but he is disrespectful."
"Mrs. Wang is very polite." Fang Zilan knew that Mrs. Wang had no intention of being polite, but she remained calm, "Mrs. Wang is the second-grade imperial concubine of Emperor Ningshun, so even if His Majesty meets him, she must give him face. , let alone my little prince?"
"Master Fang is a measured person, so I can rest assured." Mrs. Wang's smile became even brighter, but there was no smile in her eyes.
Fang Zilan thought that there was something in her words, which meant that the matchmaker should also be measured, but now that the engagement was a foregone conclusion, both parties had to bite the bullet and continue regardless of whether they were measured or not.
"Mrs. Wang, thank you." Fang Zilan smiled slightly and looked behind the old lady. The two girls looked a bit shy, but they spoke and behaved well and politely, which seemed to be everyone's style.
Such a good girl, no wonder Wang Quanzhi and Mrs. Wang are so precious to her.
The two parties exchanged a few words and then got straight to the point. It was a natural thing for them to get married if they were well-matched.
Fang Zilan heard that both sides were about to talk about three matchmakers and six hires, and thought that the matter was settled.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wang suddenly asked, "I heard that Mr. Fang's business is doing well, and that the Ten Thousand Flower Buildings in the capital are all his handiwork?" Fang Zilan's heart tightened because of the knife hidden in her smile. She was prepared and would not let Fang Lihui do it casually. Prevaricate.
Fang Lihui put away the folding fan in his hand and suppressed his cynicism. There was a little bit of embarrassment in his expression, "Mrs. Wang is too complimentary. Li Hui just saw that all women in the world have their own charms and didn't want their beauty to be covered in dust."
As soon as Fang Lihui finished speaking, Fang Zilan choked on the cake in her mouth. Even a brothel owner could say that he was so graceful and unparalleled, as if he was doing good deeds, and he was so shameless and unashamed. This was the first time she had seen him here.
"I don't want the beautiful jade to be covered with dust." Madam Wang chuckled, "Can these two granddaughters afford the beautiful jade Mr. Fang talks about?"
"Of course I can't afford it." Fang Lihui said seriously, "How can the beauty of these two wealthy immortals be compared to anything in the world?"
Fang Zilan secretly admired that Fang Lihui's mouth was really not an ordinary one, and he was indeed a good player in the business world.
Everyone in the banquet had different reactions, and Fang Lihui continued talking to himself, "If Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang are willing to betroth me to such a fairy character, I will definitely hide it in a beautiful building."
Fang Zilan wondered why these words sounded familiar, and then the word "Golden House Cangjiao" appeared in her mind.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once said that the beauty hidden in the golden house should be treasured extremely much. Unfortunately, there are many beauties in the world, and it is always like saying goodbye to the old beauty and welcoming the new one.
Fang Zilan was so lost in thought that she couldn't help but murmured, "Even if she is a fairy, she is not unique in the world. What if I see a more beautiful and better woman in the future?"
As soon as she said this, the room suddenly became quiet.
Only then did she realize what she had said, and she wanted to slap herself. It was the critical moment of the engagement. What kind of trouble was she trying to destroy?
"Master Fang is right. The world is so vast, and there are so many gods and humans." Fang Lihui's voice stood out in the silence, and every word was quite elegant.
"However, a more beautiful and better woman should be matched by a more beautiful and better person. Li Hui is mediocre, but for me, the Wang family girl is good enough."
"Young Master Fang is quite confident." Fang Zilan took a long breath, and Fang Lihui's lips curled up slightly, "Lihui is just self-aware."
A crisis was resolved in an instant, and Fang Zilan's heart dropped to her stomach. From then on, she only ate and drank without daring to say a word, for fear of ruining the marriage and being resented by others.
The two parties were laughing and chatting happily, and the moon was rising. Soon it was time to disperse, and several people said goodbye to each other and dispersed.
Fang Zilan was the host, so he waited until several family members left before leaving. However, Ouyang Juncheng and the Wang family all left. Fang Lihui sent Fang Yuhan back, but he stood there with no intention of leaving.
