"Miss Ouyang, after we get married, no matter what you want to do, I will not stop you." Huangfuxin looked at the lost person in front of him and said seriously: "You like to make weapons, watch theater and drink tea, it's up to you. Not only will I not stop you, I will also help you achieve what you want."
After hearing his words, Ouyang Zirou looked up in disbelief, her eyes seemed to be filled with countless lights, "You actually know what I want in this life?"
"I know." Huangfuxin nodded solemnly, "Miss Ouyang aims at armament, which is a weapon to ensure the stability of our country. As a man in the capital, this is also my wish."
Ouyang Zirou remained silent, and Huangfuxin continued: "Miss Ouyang, I dare not say that I am in love with you now, but my respect for you is absolutely not false. I am willing to accompany you to realize your dreams in this life. Are you willing to accompany me to protect the northern land?"
"I know what you want to say." Fang Zilan interrupted him, "Although he has learned literary and martial arts and sold his goods to the emperor's family, it will be much easier for the Gongqing family to want than for the children of the poor family. If Lian is an official in the court, Children from poor families are all suppressed. If things continue like this, how can children from poor families have a way out?"
Shangguan Min finally understood after hearing this, "So the Ministry of Rites deliberately made things difficult for Master because of their different stances? And the Minister of Rites, knowing that he might be in trouble, still asked Master Xue to come, is it because he was suppressing him?"
"That's basically the truth." Fang Zilan nodded slightly, "I'm sick now, and there are some things I can't hold back anymore. Therefore, I try to show up as much as possible at the year-end festival and New Year's social drama, and the banquet on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year must also be well prepared. …”
"It turns out it's not to express anger." Shangguan Min muttered in a low voice, "I thought..."
"Why? Mr. Wen is considerate and meticulous. I am afraid that you will feel unhappy if you think I punish you too harshly." Fang Zilan said helplessly: "If you drink, I won't stop you, but if you lose your sense of control and speak uncontrollably, I will I won’t be lenient.”
"Yes." Shangguan Min stood up and bowed respectfully, "Master, I am not afraid of being punished. What's more, Master has never punished me since he accepted me as his disciple, so how can I be punished severely?"
"You." Fang Zilan smiled and suddenly said: "Master Xue, listening to the corner is not a good habit. I wonder why Master Xue comes back again and again?"
Hearing the sound, Xue Haoyu came in, bowed his hands and said, "I saw that Mr. Fang was having a great conversation with this young master, and I was really embarrassed to disturb him, so I stood outside the door for a long time. I didn't mean to eavesdrop, and I asked Mr. Fang for your forgiveness. .”
Fang Zilan raised her hand to indicate that he didn't need to be polite, "Master Xue is standing outside, I know it. Since I haven't said anything, there is nothing I can't let you hear."
"Master Fang is magnanimous, but I am ashamed of myself." Xue Haoyu still maintained his salute posture and said, "I left and came back again, but I forgot to tell Master Fang about something just now."
"What's the matter?" Fang Zilan took the tea on the table and took a sip.
Xue Haoyu said quietly: "Master Fang, if you can go out, please go to Lianhua Palace before New Year's Eve to worship and offer incense."
Fang Zilan smiled slightly, "I heard that there is a big everlasting lamp in the Lianhua Palace that was lit by Emperor Tai'an himself. At the end of every year, the emperor would refill the lamp with oil, and all the officials would bow down and offer incense in order to wish the world peace and prosperity in the coming year. I'm right. ?”
Xue Haoyu's expression suddenly changed, "Master Fang, you..."
"When Mr. Xue left, I was still thinking that with your meticulousness, why did you forget to remind me about entering the Lianhua Palace?" Fang Zilan's smile became brighter, "But Mr. Xue also said that the etiquette department is busy at the end of the year. I want to come It’s understandable that you forgot, you couldn’t do it on purpose, right?”
"Master Fang..." Xue Haoyu muttered and did not dare to speak. When Fang Zilan said that he did not know the procedures on New Year's Eve, he thought that she was just taking the opportunity to make things difficult and just dealt with it. But she never thought that she knew all the processes well not only on New Year's Eve, so didn't she see through it all from the beginning?
Xue Haoyu couldn't hold his head up as if he was being teased. However, he knew clearly in his heart that if he didn't have ulterior motives, how could he have fallen into this situation?
"Master Xue, you heard the conversation between the two of us just now." Fang Zilan smiled and looked a little more serious, "Although Mr. Xue was relegated, he never lowered his head. Otherwise, as long as he joins a family at will, he will not It will result in the whole family leaving Beijing and never returning to Beijing."
Xue Haoyu paled, "Master Fang, do you know?"
"I know." Fang Zilan said calmly: "When you said Mr. Xue was your uncle, I was guessing which family you had joined and got the opportunity to re-enter the capital and join the Ministry of Etiquette."
Seeing Xue Haoyu's face getting more ugly, Fang Zilan hurriedly said: "Of course everyone has different choices. You have the right to choose, and I respect you. After all, not everyone can remain unchanged under the pressure of the situation."
"Master Fang doesn't have to be like this." Xue Haoyu turned his head and looked away, saying: "How can Master Fang understand the hardships of a little person like me? No matter how nice the words are, in your eyes I am just an ant."
"You?" Fang Zilan repeated the word and said noncommittally: "Don't you want to be in a prestigious position, Master Xue, and treat others as ants?"
"I don't want to." Xue Haoyu blurted out without thinking, and Fang Zilan's lips curled up slightly, "I don't want to be an ant, nor do I want to be a person who treats others as ants, so what does Mr. Xue want to do?"
"Xiaoguan..." Xue Haoyu was speechless for a moment, and Fang Zilan sighed softly, "It seems that Mr. Xue's blood is not cold yet, but it is difficult to be as hot as before."
For some reason, Xue Haoyu felt an inexplicable grievance welling up in his heart after hearing her words. Who doesn’t want to do things down-to-earth with his original intention, but how can this world tolerate his original intention?
Xue Haoyu clenched his fists and suppressed his emotions and said: "I dare to ask Mr. Fang, is it possible that Mr. Fang is in a prestigious position just to treat others as ants?"
"Of course not." Fang Zilan said with a smile: "This idea is too shallow and not worthy of me."
Her words were like a stone, causing thousands of waves in Xue Haoyu's heart. Not only was she shallow, but she was unworthy?
"Master Xue, if there is nothing else, I will go back to my room to rest." Fang Zilan stood up, but Xue Haoyu still stood there, motionless.
Seeing this, Fang Zilan pursed her lips and couldn't help but said: "Master Xue, let me say one last thing. How you treat others will be how others treat you. The cycle of cause and effect is the same, and the same is true for the original intention."
Xue Haoyu lowered his eyes and said, "But if everyone in the world treats you coldly and coldly, what can I do?"
"If this is true," Fang Zilan said word by word, "then prove to the world that they are wrong."
