When the two of them saw that it was Fang Zilan, they both trembled immediately and said bravely: "It's just... it's just a small talk... Mr. Fang doesn't need to keep it in mind."
"I don't need to keep it in mind." Fang Zilan glanced at the two people in front of him, and his eyes fell on one of them, "As long as you tell me how you learned about Miss Fang Er's engagement, I will treat it as nothing today. Didn't happen."
"This..." The man hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Master Fang, my family has a cousin who is a concubine in Ouyang's family. She heard it from Miss Ouyang Zirou a few days ago, and mentioned it by the way when she returned to her parents' home. Mouth, that’s all I know.”
Fang Zilan frowned slightly, "Second Miss Fang is engaged, why does Miss Ouyang Zirou know about it?"
"Master Fang doesn't know. Miss Ouyang Zirou of the Ouyang family and Miss Fang have a very good relationship." After speaking, the man took a trembling glance at Fang Zilan and said cautiously: "Master Fang, can I have they gone?"
"Let's go." Fang Zilan waved her hand, indicating that the two of them could leave. "Work hard and don't chat."
The two of them ran quickly with oil on their soles, leaving Fang Zilan alone to stay in place thoughtfully. If the news is true and Fang Zitong is getting engaged to Pei Xiaoze, she can go to Fang's house in the prime minister's house in the name of congratulations.
After Fang Zilan returned from the government office that day, she found Xiao Xuan'er alone and said, "Miss Xiao, I have something to ask you for help."
Xiao Xuan'er nodded slightly and said, "Master Fang, there is no need to be polite, but it doesn't matter."
"I heard that the second young lady of the Fang family, Fang Zitong, is getting engaged to Mr. Pei Xiaoze. I would like you to help me confirm whether this is true." As soon as Fang Zilan finished speaking, Xiao Xuan'er nodded, "This is true."
Fang Zilan couldn't help but be stunned, "Miss Xiao already knew about this?"
"Yes." Xiao Xuan'er explained: "The people in Wanhua Building naturally know about the Fang family earlier than others. I heard the sisters in the building talking about this matter a few days ago. I heard that the elders of the Fang family Very dissatisfied, the prime minister and Young Master Fang Lihui were summoned for several days, but no conclusion was reached, but..."
She didn't say anything further, and Fang Zilan said: "With the temperament of the second young lady of the Fang family, she must marry the person she decides to marry. How can the Fang family elders alone stop her?"
"Master Fang's words are good, but Master Pei has a maid hidden in his house. It is very inappropriate to spoil the concubine without the mistress." Xiao Xuan'er raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm afraid that the high-ranking family of Fang Mansion will never do this. tolerate."
"You mean, if Mr. Pei wants to marry the second young lady of the Fang family, he must first expel the maid from the mansion?" Fang Zilan frowned slightly, and Xiao Xuan'er sighed softly, "Expelling the servant from the mansion is an easy matter. If the family conduct is clean and honest, Yes, there is no doubt that he might be beaten to death with a stick."
Fang Zilan took a deep breath, "So, although there is news of an engagement, the engagement may be delayed for a long time?"
Xiao Xuan'er said yes, and couldn't help but ask: "Why is Mr. Fang suddenly concerned about Miss Fang's marriage?"
"I plan to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion recently, but I don't have a name." Fang Zilan said frankly: "If Miss Fang gets engaged, I will have a name."
"Master Fang and the Prime Minister have never interacted with each other. If you want to visit the Prime Minister's Mansion..." Xiao Xuan'er suddenly remembered something and said: "After New Year's Eve, in the first month of the first month, the ministers of each government will hold banquets, and Master Fang can go to the prime minister's residence openly. The government paid a visit."
Fang Zilan slapped her forehead, "We have a banquet in the first month of the year, how could I forget this?"
"Master Fang has so many things to do, how can he bother to remember such a trivial matter?" Xiao Xuan'er smiled slightly, and Fang Zilan said gratefully: "Thank you, Miss Xiao, for reminding me, but please help me pay attention to Miss Fang's engagement."
"Okay." Xiao Xuan'er agreed, and then said: "Master Fang, before you asked my lady to check the past of Miss Awan's master, Wen Ya, she has already found out."
"So fast?" A flash of surprise flashed in Fang Zilan's eyes, but Xiao Xuan'er's expression was rare and cold, "It has something to do with my uncle, so naturally the investigation was very fast."
Fang Zilan's expression became more solemn, "You said, Wen Ya's past is related to Brother Wan?"
"Yes." Xiao Xuan'er said word by word: "Wen Ya, whose original name is Xu Ya, is a disciple of Medicine God Xu Yaoshi and the senior brother of my uncle."
Fang Zilan felt that the name Xu Ya was familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it before. She just wondered: "There are rumors in the world that Medicine Master Xu only has one disciple, Brother Wan. Where did Wen Ya come from?"
"Wen Ya was an orphan since he was a child. He was picked up by Pharmacist Xu and adopted as his adopted son, named Xu Ya." Xiao Xuan'er calmed down and started from the beginning, "At that time, Pharmacist Xu was still a wandering doctor. In the previous dynasty, he had a relationship with Baiyue. During a war, he was rescued by the general of Zhenbei, King Pingnan, and in order to repay his kindness, he became a military doctor with the army."
While recalling what Awan had said to her before, Fang Zilan said: "I heard that Pharmacist Xu is not only excellent in medical skills, but also very powerful in martial arts. How could he..."
She only said half of what she said, but Xiao Xuan'er understood it deeply, "The war is so cruel. How can Mr. Fang save his life with such skill, not to mention that Xu Yaoshi is carrying a baby on his back? However, Xu Yaoshi is brave, and there are records in the previous dynasty. According to legend, he We once used a thousand men against hundreds of Yue Qingqi, and fought for three days and three nights, until reinforcements arrived."
"Mr. Xu, is his name Xu Aman?" Fang Zilan stared at Xiao Xuan'er closely, and saw her expression was surprised, "How did you know? Master Xu doesn't like this name, so no one has ever been like this. Called him."
"It's not that no one shouted." Fang Zilan lowered her eyes and said, "It's because everyone who shouted has passed away."
At this moment, she finally remembered where she had seen Xu Ya's name. That night in the Bogu Palace, one of the passages she read was about Xu Aman and his personal medicine boy Xu Ya.
At that time, she just glanced at them casually and did not connect these two people with Xu Yaoshi and Wen Ya. But now that I think about it, he is brave, good at fighting, and uses strange medicines. He is not as good as Baiyue Miluo. Isn't it the way of Wen Ya? If the disciple is like this, let alone the master?
"Master Fang?" Xiao Xuan'er waved her hand in front of Fang Zilan, and then she came back to her senses, "I'm fine, you can continue talking."
Xiao Xuan'er said slowly: "Later, the former dynasty was overthrown. General Pingnan Wang of Zhenbei was buried in the deep sea of Vietnam. Most of his generals were scattered. It was at that time that Xu Yaoshi arrived at Wanhua Villa. At that time, Wanhua Villa It's hard to support a tree alone, so it's all up to Xu Yaoshi and Xu Ya to support the appearance. Because it was too hard, Xu Ya was still young and couldn't bear it, so he came up with the idea of joining the ghost gate established by the previous royal family. But Xu Yaoshi didn't want to get involved anymore. Because of the dispute, I didn’t agree to this idea.”
Fang Zilan asked curiously: "Since Xu Yaoshi didn't agree, how did Xu Ya enter the ghost gate and change his name to Wen Ya?"
"Some people are born poisonous snakes. Even if you raise them in the sun and treat them well, they will still show their sinister side." Xiao Xuan'er's voice became colder, "Xu Ya is that kind of person."
Fang Zilan's heart tightened, "What do you mean?"
